RANGERRAB

Yes, the first was a fluke, however, to allow Scales to win that ball so easily and unchallenged intially by Morelos was very poor and something I would expect to be yelled at for on the Sunday league pitch

Was McGregor maybe a bit slow going for it?

Its frightening when you think what we need in the summer after today. So many of the current squad need shipped out

It looks more and more likely that all of those whose contracts are running out end of season won’t be offered new deals.

Thats a lot of players to replace. And it gets even more difficult when you try to get the quality we want on an unknown budget 

Today was difficult to take but let’s get things into perspective the game was relatively meaningless as the league’s been gone long ago.

We should be more concerned about whether MB is up to the job as Rangers manager & what sort of squad we’ll have ready for next season. My concern about the current squad is that the structure is all wrong. We’re overloaded in some positions & short in others and have got a goalkeeping position which needed sorting last summer if not earlier.

Remember we are hamstrung by FFP and are repeatedly told by the board that we have little to no disposable income.

 

Our latest accounts showed we spent circa £12M on NEH and that all the income from Patterson / Aribo and Bassey has gone.

 

We have no players who'll attract decent fees however Kent, Greegsn Alfie et al leaving will free up a hefty slice of wages.

 

Critical/crucial period for the board as its a case of can't afford to spend big as well as can't afford NOT to spend big. 

Or we can bring in loanees…

Put simply, we don’t score enough goals( for the amount of possession we have) and concede too many

we need to do something

They have money to bring in a proven goalscorer, we don't. That's the biggest difference. 

Kyogo only cost them something like £4m.

surely we can afford that.

what worries me is we continue to look in England for players. One of the most expensive markets.

They get most of their players from elsewhere nowadays. We need to do likewise.

As well as a new GK and at least one CB for next season we need someone up front who can score 25+ goals per season 

Say what you like about Celtic but when they build a team they firstly look at getting goalscorers who can get goals.

We need to do the same for next season

Sometimes these things happen in football. You dominate but don’t score then they score a fluke & build on it. 
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: we lack penetration in wide areas to get behind defences & create good chances. 
That needs to be resolved. 

Dominating without scoring but always capable of a stupid mistake to allow them to score

I’d offer Ryan Jack a years contract. We need Scottish players for Europe

Not sure...maybe start by NOT signing guys with injury reports that are longer than Gotti's rap sheet?

 

Cause someone sure as shit is gettin it done in Scotland. 

 

 

Say what you want about 'Ra Sellick'.

That's not the luck of the Irish...that's smart money workin.

 

We gots problems y'all.

 

I’m sure Celtic’s wage bill is more than £21m shown. 

Regardless who we get for next season we need to hope Tom Lawrence is fully fit and ready. He’d have been our best player this season IMO. Badly missed

That lot are still annoyed about us signing Maurice Johnston 30 odd years ago.

 

And they're still annoyed about our made up (by them) non-RC signing policy.  

 

It's no wonder they're so messed up, paranoid and delusional when all they can focus on are negatives.  They really hate us, regardless of what we do.

Truth is it was THEM who didn’t want us to sign RC’s. Not us. 
My view is the policy was unsustainable and Rangers managers prior to Souness wanted it overturned 

Think we need to see who’s definitely going first before finalising anything.

As things stand right now we’re still short at CB and will need to get at least one keeper for next season.

Maybe I expect to much but am I the only person who thinks our play is to slow 

The tempo of our game( particularly at home) is too slow and we lack players who can get behind defences in wide areas

Can't make my mind up if that goes under file as a Rangers win or a Buddies collapse 

Or a Morelos rescue act with those two goals a minute apart 🤓

A good win in the end but we’re losing far too many goals. We’ll need a keeper & another CB in the summer 

And I think Sakala is more of a goal threat & usually has a better end product than Kent.

Going to be an interesting summer transfer window

Could not agree more, especially as the league is a goner. Lowry and King could be part of our answer to Manure's Class of '92 or whenever it was.

From what I’ve seen of King so far I wouldn’t think so 

Expect Sakala will replace Kent & Souttar will deputise for Goldson again.

Wonder if Sakala a better option up front alongside the main striker than Kent? Scores more goals

Class action in June & vicarious liability october ? 

It was probably time for him to go. The two transfer windows prior to MB becoming manager were very disappointing & contributed to GvB’s departure. 
It’ll be interesting to see if we continue with a DoF. This role evolved whilst DK was chairman IIRC.

I am not fully enamoured of Colak. He is a player who 'gets on the end of things' - as long as these things are provided.

He is, to cut to the chase, a goal-hanger. 

 

Morelos offers more.  

 

I await a cascade of criticism. 

I wouldn’t disagree with you. Colak is more of a Kris Boyd type to me. A poacher. Morelos contributes more to the team with his link up play (usually)

My view is could we try to accommodate the 2 of them but if so who drops out?

When in doubt knock it out 👍

Davies at their second & Souttar at the third although I’ve sympathy for Souttar as it was a dreadful ball from Jack.

And remember their second in the 2-2 game when Jack failed to clear & they scored

We’re a bunch of Nancy boys can’t tackle or defend 

We need to get defenders prepared to put the ball into rowZ of the stand when necessary

Beale talks far too much.  

That’s part of his job. FWIW I think does quite well in his media dealings
