Ally is doing enough to get us through the leagues and that's the first priority. Many have said we'd have liked to see a far better product on the pitch but its not easy - granted but there needs to be improvements for next season when we come up against better opposition week in week out. Id say there isn't much between the teams in the bottom 2 leagues but there is a jump to the Championship. Look I love Ally to bits so I don't want to start an anti Ally (as a manager thread).
-
We just have to take one game at a time starting with Albion today. If we won this cup it would be the most satisfying cup win in a long long time, probably since the Lovenkrands cup final or the league cup final that year when Hartson missed the pen. TBH id actually rather go out today to Albion than lose in the semi or final to an SPL side.
-
No not for me, I am not a fan of jobs for mates. I don't fancy having Davies as our manager at all despite him being a Rangers fan. McInnes has showed potential for a few years, his stint at Bristol was poor but probably the wrong club wrong time, he has bounced back well. Ally has had the best results, of course he has but we are a top flight team playing against part timers. Jim Jefferies would probably have won this league with our team.
-
Yes for sure, a day the fans will deserve. And nice to do it at Ibrox.
-
It would have been nice to win the league against Dunfermline in the match next Saturday but hey-ho lets grab this chance and wrap the league up and concentrate on the cups.
-
Its a catch22 with Ally for me. For sure we have needed him for keeping Rangers on track and he has been a mammoth person in this journey but on the field its a no-no for me. But until our off field future is settled Ally has to be at Ibrox in some capacity.
-
Yes agreed, really want to avoid the sheep for a few reasons. Even the thought of them going to Ibrox for a semi against anyone is a wrench. But thinking about it, we've probably more chance beating them at Ibrox in a semi than at Parkhead in a final. I Genuinely feel we can win this cup this season.
-
I haven't mentioned a change for this summer, I am maybe thinking 2-3 years down the line. The change of manager this summer would be a different debate.
-
Don't get me wrong id like to see us getting someone like Martin Jol in but we are light years away from those days again at the moment. That's why I said realistic potential managers. I think he's done a good job. The Sheep have struggled since Calderwood. If they were a consistent 3rd when we were there then yes I'd agree but they were always 7th or 8th.
-
Serving his apprenticeship nicely at the moment and as it stands Im hoping he is our next manager. When Ally eventually moves on Id take him well ahead of the realistic candidates like Billy Davies. Got to give McInnes credit, 1 cup final, 1 semi final and 2nd in the league with a team who have been struggling for years. I liked him as a player in the 90s also, thought he was a fine midfielder.
-
St Johnstone and Aberdeen through so if we beat Albion it will be SPL opposition....at Ibrox.
-
6 league games plus 2 cup matches so 8 in total. They were in the relegation spots 6 game ago now pushing for play offs. They have beaten Villa, Fulham and Forest in the cup but I think they will run out of steam I this round.
-
Would be superb to get the winners of this game in the semi's (of course once we beat Albion)
-
I was trying to work out the fact him and his consortium put up 5.5m for the assets and the pay offs didn't come near to that amount. That's what I was confused about. Maybe Im well off as I haven't been following the finance side of it much at all but I can understand his frustration if he didn't get back what he put in.
-
I didn't think it would be long before CG popped up. Like SimplyTheBest I was Pro-Green for a while for the ay he was pitching for the club but it all went pear shaped with some of his comments. The bonuses and salaries since revealed have shown him to only be in it for a profit.
-
Arsenal v Everton Hull v Sunderland Sheff Utd v Charlton Man City v Wigan Wont be the most glamorous of semi final line ups and they should put them back to Villa park. But Arsenal, Hull, Charlton (via a replay) and Man City in the semi's. I think the winners of the Arsenal v Everton tie will win the cup.
-
Raith v St Johnstone Inverness v Dundee Utd Aberdeen v Dumbarton Not to bothered about who goes through from the first game. Would prefer Inverness although should be beat Albion then revenge for either of these teams is on the cards from last seasons cup exits. Would be great to see Dumbarton pull a shock off. And having seeing there league position they may well do it. Aberdeen are focused on the league cup final at the moment.

Euro 2016: Home nations await qualification draw
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
The atmosphere for a Scotland game will be different to a Rangers or Celtic match at Ibrox or Parkhead, so Id say its an irrelevant argument. Ive never been to Parkhead so cant say if its got a good atmosphere or not, it probably does on CL nights but it would have to be amazing to match Ibrox when its rocking. Give the national team a national feel and take the game to Edinburgh, Murrayfield. Blows all arguments away then and has a 67000 crowd. -
Euro 2016: Home nations await qualification draw
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Play it at Murrayfield. -
Closet I came to a win in ages last weekend. Reading screwed me on a 7 fold accumulator. They drew 1-1 at home to bottom side Yeovil who were down to 8 men. Unbelievable. A wee line on the internationals tonight.
-
Most friendlies are pointless but this is one which gives Strachan a clue to the Euro qualifiers. Its just bad timing for friendlies in March with the amount of games coming up for clubs at the business end of the season. As Poland aren't in the WC we should be playing them in the summer.

Scotland squad training at Murray Park 3rd March 2014 by Willie Vass
Gribz replied to Willie_Vass's topic in Rangers Chat
Can see it now, a player will pick up a training injury and it will be blamed on the condition of the turf. -
100 days to the start and they aren't near ready. How are they supposed to finish stadia in that time? Hope I am wrong but I can see a bit of cutting corners happening.
-
I feel Little has been a bit unlucky this season. I did watch a lot of our games last season and thought he was one of the top 3 standouts. This season I haven't seen much action at all but Little hasn't featured as much. A capable player for our squad in the next 2 seasons, I hope we can work a deal out.
-
He's one of the best keepers as well. About 2 seasons ago he had save of the season from an Everton shot, came clean of his hands and a pen wasn't given.
