RANGERRAB

Selection will be interesting ? Don't you mean predictable ?

But he's not fit is he? How many games has he played this season ? Same goes for Rositter & Crooks too. These are young players we signed with high hopes for them all. Maybe they've just not got the required levels of fitness & stamina required for the step-up to a higher level

Miller 9/10 ? You must have been watching a different game from me

What are the chances of another half-hearted investigation from Plod Scotland like the last time against the yahoos when a young Rangers supporter got hit by a bottle?

During the summer it was imperative we strenghtened at CB & up front. We failed to do so & are now struggling as a result. Hill has done reasonably well in recent weeks but at 38 is hardly the longterm answer at CB. Senderos was a last minute panic signing whom I'd expect to leave in January. Up front Garner has looked every bit like a striker who got just 6 goals in the Championship last season. Like Senderos he also looked a bit of a panic signing just before the transfer window closed. If we're to get back into Europe next season via our league position or winning the SC, we'll need to try & move out 2 or 3 players in january & bring in better replacements. That won't be easy

Our 3 strikers(Miller, Waghorn & garner) have just 5 league goals between them this season. That tells you all you need to know. Simply not good enough

We did not recruit as well as we might have in the summer. Not getting a decent striker to replace Miller is beginning to show big time. We cannot hold the ball up front.

We weren't good enough. We were lucky it wasn't more than 1-0

Especially from Wallace

Kiernan.......

Why not do the simple thing & put O'Halloran on the right side ?

Perhaps but if Hill can stay fit I think he can do what Davie Weir did for us even if only for this season. I'm more concerned about up front. Miller, Waghorn & Garner have managed just five goals between them in nine league games. That simply isn't good enough. This cost McCoist big style two seasons ago i.e. Signing strikers (Miller & Boyd) who couldn't score. MW take note

It was the UEFA CUp final we played in back in 2008

There will be no succesful Scotland team without a succesful Rangers team. Sooner the tattered army wake up & realise that the better. And getting rid off Rhegan should be top priority. This man & his chum Doncaster have literally stoid back & done nothing as Scottish football has regressed

this is where a good scouting system is needed

I still think our summer signings weren't good enough. We signed too many MF players and didn't bring in a quality CB & top drawer striker which were needed most of all. Performances so far have been largely disappointing as a result

We play 4-3-2-1 (which becomes 4-3-3attacking). Two play wide one of which always seems to be Barrie McKay for some reason. Playing one up front needs the right type of forward(a Diego Costa type). We don't have one IMO

And you can confirm that ? Why did he sign Rositter then who plays in the same position as Barton ? And we already had Halliday who can fill in that role too Signing 30 year old plus players with no resale value makes no sense to me given where we are just now. Last summer we got ourselves a manager whose background was bringing on young players. Made sense did it not ? Then we started signing the likes of Barton, Krancjar & Senderos in the summer. None have been great IMO. I ask again did MW sign Barton ? And the others too?

That may well be the case but what I think we have here is a Rangers manager who wants shot off Barton who he never wanted in the first place. And getting rid off Barton may be a lot more difficult than we think. But as I said earlier I'm not convinced we know the full story here

I suspect there's more to his than what we know.

Not sure that will have anyhing to do with it. It will come down to whether club rules are the same or have changed. I suspect they haven't changed

It looks to me that's the route we're going down but as I asked earlier why weren't Simonsen & Black sacked then ? Unlike Black at least Barton didn't bet on games he played in. Much more serious IMO

So why weren't Simonsen & Black sacked then?

How much is the inevitable pay-off going to cost ? I'm still not convinced it was MW who signed Barton

He's getting desperate now. His job is one the line as far as I'm concerned. Lose the next two games to Slovakia & England & qualification from second place is a no-goer IMO.
