You get a glimmer of hope for the season, but this team manages to roll a tsunami over it. Truly shocking ...

Play out from the back time and again ... this is a pure horror show.

Hagi has every right to walk away from the dross he has top cope with ... ... and he even gets subbed now.

The time Tavernier goes into the AM role gives me the creeps ...

Didn't Mandron hit Nsilia's legs so that he stumbled over his own?

Like it or not, but Gogic would be exactly the type of defender we need for most of our Scottish games ...

Wouldn't be surprised to see Lawrence for Igamane in the 2nd half. We need someone to pick a pass, as we have no-one in midfield to calm play down. Hagi again wasted on the wing.

... which means, we need investment and are easy to deal with?

BTW, I blame you for the US-take-over attempt ... with all your stats-mumbo-jumbo ...

Raskin's taking the brunt of their attention ...

Saints do the usual physical approach and we don't really cope, for obvious reasons. Need to make our chances count.

Typical Buddies game so far. ... never knew Declan John was back in Scottish football, snapped up by Saints on a free.

The Eisbären were playing Augsburg Panthers last night in a very similar situation like we face St. Mirren today. While the former are sitting firmly in second place (and well-placed for the playoffs), Augsburg were just above the Playoff zone and needed a win - game 47 of 52 of the regular season. Much like St. Mirren needs points to stay in the top 6. Despite a fair amount of regular players missing, quality proved the key and the Eisbären ran out 5-0 victors. Over to you, Rangers!

Anyone checked what belongs to this 49ers enterprise and how they fare?

Last time I played Fantasy Football was 10 years ago, after that, my interest in what is going on in the EPL essentially vanished. Hence, I am mildly shocked and surprised when I do see the odd highlight from England: teams like Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Wolves, and dare I say it Forest and Newcastle are challenging for Champions League places. Teams which I associate with 2nd to 4th tier in my memories. Their supporters probably live the dreams of their fathers, grandfathers and even great great grandfathers. Maybe we should ask them whether they lost any of their traditions and histories, their rivalries etc.? The simple fact is that we are still caught in our goldfish bowl that won't get us much revenue, or the revenue required to play with the sharks out there. It is highly doubtful that any US or other cash will change this in the foreseeable future. What it can change is the current plight of not being able to overcome the Scottish clubs to get us straight entry into the CL riches. IMHO, we are actually not that much worse than them, yet we don't play to our strengths and/or don't have players that give us continuous level of the performance required. Hence, we do need investment. It is quite bizarre that Rangers teams who can't beat Scottish dross on a regular basis can beat multi-million teams on their way to the EL final or the last 16. One might even be willing to give credit to them for taking BL leaders Bayern almost to extra time. Might. The foundations are there, yet we need some change to the status quo, or the attempted skyscraper will just remain a nice detached house ...
