RANGERRAB

They will play their normal way under Skippy. They’ll play high intensity at 100mph for the first hour or so and we must match that. What we mustn’t do is go in at HT three goals down

At the game on Wednesday night I thought that the starting XI might well be the one that starts on Monday. That starting XI could get something from the game However when comparing our likely bench to their bench you can see where a lot of our current problems lie. They can make changes & not weaken their XI on the park. Not sure we can. Back to poor recruitment unfortunately

Baccus maybe. No chance the others.

Matondo has zero confidence at the moment. Hopefully that can change

MB’s big test will be recruitment. It went a long way to finishing GvB. Any manager who signs a load of players who can’t get in the team will always end up in trouble. Few expect us to realistically win the league this season therefore who stays, who goes and who comes in next summer is vital for the season ahead

Win was never really in doubt but I thought Davies had one or two shaky moments at the back Hope Morelos fit for Monday. He’s in the faces of defenders. What we’ll need

This needed sorting out last summer. Another failing from our DoF

No thanks.Don’t think Ryan’s that good a keeper.Makes too many errors for my liking

Lowry might be a prospect. Don’t see McCann being anywhere near good enough

We’d need to replace Kent

Sad to say it but unlikely we’ll see him play for Rangers again as his contract is up at the end of the season

MB will be helped as players return from injury. I thought we looked better in the last half hour on Tuesday night with our two first choice CB’s playing. However it doesn’t disguise the fact we’re still short in numbers in certain positions and the GK position needs looked at sooner rather than later

I recall MB saying after the game last night he was going to freshen things up on Friday night away to Ross County. Perhaps this is why

I thought the 15mins before HT & the 15mins after HT we were particularly bad. We still seem to be having spells in games where our level seems to drop alarmingly. It was the same last week against hibz.

Relieved more than anything but MB must surely see where our problems are. We make too many basic mistakes in our play, concede goals too easily & are still too predictable. If Ben Davies was fit(& I’m not saying he wasn’t) what made him play Sands at CB? Davies is a much better CB than Sands

Big decisions lie ahead for MB. those who thought changing the manager would solve our problems are going to be very disappointed indeed

Just so many stupid mistakes…..

After the hibz game last week & tonight surely MB must be thinking he’s got to do something about the goalkeeper position. The free kick went from one side into the other side of the goal. The long way in if u like

Their goal came from a free kick caused by us giving the ball away needlessly. And it’s not the first time this happened first half. We scored then seemed to ease up for whatever reason & now they’re right back in this

Think the Americans had bought Chelsea by then, so no don’t think so

During the summer Chelsea tried to sign Arsen Zakharyan from Moscow Dynamo but couldn’t transfer the funds to the Russian club due to sanctions. So did the yahoos manage to transfer funds to Ruben Kazan for the transfer of Haksabanovic?

Don’t you think questions should be getting asked about this transfer though? The Norkopping chairman certainly seems to think so

If there’s a trade embargo with Russia how did they manage to pay a transfer fee & sign the player?

You’ll probably know more about this than me but because of the war in Ukraine I thought clubs weren’t allowed to buy players from Russian clubs but were only allowed to loan them. They bought this guy & put him on a 5 year deal. Did they pay a transfer fee to Ruben Kazan? Thought there was a trade embargo with Russia?
