RANGERRAB

I’m abroad on holiday and & have just seen the result 😃

And I’ll always remember Phillips Clement as the Rangers manager who got cheated in 2 cup finals by dodgy refereeing decisions.

For me Clement fell on his sword because he never got the transfer deals he wanted and he let players go with replacing them properly. He went for LCB Jose cordoba last summer but never got him then let our only proper LCB Ben Davies go out on loan.The CB fiasco has been ongoing since 2022. Lundstrum left & he tried to get Joan Jordan but failed. He was also prepared to let Dessers go last summer but did he have a replacement identified? Who knows.

With our current squad nothing is guaranteed

We need a young manager with up-to-date ideas & tactical knowledge

Hope not

But the unanswered question is who is the man for the job? Without resources no manager worth his salt will touch it with a barge pole

Have you watched any games lately? Just lost 3 on the bounce at home

Our MF 2 are getting outnumbered in MF games now. Teams are putting 3 up against them

The malcontents got their way & got shot off Clement. As I constantly warned, the replacements mentioned worriedme.

Cavanagh probably worried he’s wasting his money

Play a MF 3. Add Barron & drop Igamane who hasn’t scored in weeks. Make us harder to play against with an extra central MF player

Wee tip for BF- play a central MF 3. Add Barron. Drop igamane who hasn’t scored for weeks

Butland was another OOC signing. Shopping at poundshop.

With Clement gone it’ll be interesting to see how Dessers gets on. It’s no secret I don’t think Clement was his biggest admirer from their time together at club Brugge. Second half tonight he looked unplayable at times. Scored 2 & set up another with a superb touch to Diomande. If Barry Ferguson gets more from Dessers than Clement did it will prove a point or two to some people

We shall need to see how all of this pans out over the next few weeks. I suspect to begin with there will be a bit of a lift but looking ahead to next season and the CLQ’s I begin to wonder. Whoever is manager next season needs a much better preseason than we’ve had last 2 seasons. If BF & Co get binned at the end of this season it doesn’t leave much time for another new manager and his staff to get settled in. I’m not a great believer in interim managers. Once the decision has been made to get rid off a manager I believe his replacement should be identified & brought in ASAP

No he wouldn’t

A static CF who always seems to be posted missing when the ball is put into the box

To me there are 3 observations about this Rangers team:- 1) no settled CB pairing 2) kent/sima not replaced wide left( Hagi/ Bajrami both not natural wide left players) 3) strikers/CF’s too static when ball being delivered into penalty box. Need more movement upfront

He wasnt great today but who do we have on the bench who’d have replaced him?

You imply Dessers got no service but when the ball is being put into the box he never seems to makes runs i.e. anticipate. He is static.

What disappointed me today was the way Nsiala got bullied at both of their goals. Don’t think Niko Katic ( who wanted a return last month)would have been bullied like that. Just sayin’……😋

Last summer there was supposedly three main transfer targets and we got none of them. One was Cordoba now at Norwich , one was Joan Jordan but no idea who the other was. When that happens it’s not exactly a good sign for the season ahead.

Pedro only got one transfer window remember. And he did sign Morelos and Ryan Jack. He was maybe unlucky Bruno Alves was injured but we’ll never know. Sacking him then putting in Murty back in as caretaker was more madness from the board

What happens if we get a ‘caretaker’ and he’s worse than clement? any names you can think of who’d want to be the caretaker? personally I don’t think caretakers are a good idea
