RANGERRAB

Yahoos will probably start flying out from Edinburgh now ?

Too bad the likes of his weren't around in 2011/12.

No one would have wanted to pick up the tab for the mess Murray left behind

They’ve got operating costs of £80m p.a? 

I’m no bean counter but doesn’t that sound rather a lot?

Don’t know why but we always seem to run out of energy on that rugby park surface after an hour 

Glad to get the 3 points but one or two less than satisfactory performances particularly second half 

Seen this movie at rugby park before. We’re ahead & in control & they get something out of nothing. Then it’s game on.

Vital we get another goal soon. 

Morelos & Itten anonymous so far

The formation doesn't tell us how we're going to play. 

 

I can see Morelos and Itten switching throughout, though. 

First and foremost it’s about picking the players who can adapt best to this dreadful surface

I think it'll be a 4-2-3-1, with Itten on the right. 

 

SG has alternated between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 this season. 

 

Itten is a (welcome?) surprise, though. 

If it’s 4-2-3-1 maybe Itten leading the line up front.

looks to me we’re going more direct today on this surface.

A very bold reshuffle. I like it. Will Morelos or Itten play on the right? Are we looking at 4-4-2?

That was my first thought i.e. 4-4-2

just hope we don’t get outnumbered in central MF

Team selection & tactics are crucial. There’s no room for nice football on this dreadful surface.

Playing the ball out from the back is risky. Often the long ball out from defence is the best option.

I might be tempted to go with Itten up front to give us the option of holding the ball up & bringing others into play.

And maybe Jones for a rugby park return in place of Kent who’s been quiet of late.

Very sad news. 

RIP Marius Zaliukas.

9 of Ally's 21 goals were where Rangers scored 10 or more goals or aggregate against the likes of Valetta and Gi Gotu. Another was the 4th in a 4-0 win. Another 2 were penalties.

 

Ally managed 2 goals in European group stages. Alfredo has managed 6.

 

Ally scored important European goals against Boavista, Kiev, Gornik, Leeds and Grasshoppers over 14 seasons.

 

Alfredo has scored important European goals against Osijek, Maribor, Rapid Vienna, Midtjylland, Legia, Porto, Feynoord, Young Boys and Lech Poznan over 3 seasons, some of whom were in the Champions League either the previous or following seasons.

 

Alfredo's European goal scoring record is arguably far better than Ally's.

Hasn’t Morelos now got 9 in group stages? ?

Absolutely delighted we won tonight against a team I thought turned out to be a lot better than we expected them to be.

He is our best striker

He can play in the wide areas up front as well as through the middle giving us options, hence why SG was keen to get him.

What a performance young Bassey had when he replaced Barisic 

Need to thank wee Brendan for that one. To think the yahoos have wasted all sorts of money on LB’s & we got Bassey for £250k ?

Bassey’s better than Taylor & Bolingoli (on loan to Besiksehir) who must have cost the yahoos £4m between them 

Does anyone know if a Rangers player has ever scored from his own half before?

Im in my fifties & certainly cannot recall anything like what we saw from Roofe last night. Or even a goalkeeper scoring from a kick out 

Very easy to see the agenda here.

With one incomplete,tainted title given to them this would allow the yahoos to be given another.

The game in Scotland is corrupt & rotten to the core. No wonder it doesn’t attract sponsors

Destroyed at both goals

I’m hearing they’re paying his entire £50k p.w. Brighton wage plus a loan fee for his services this season. 

Doesnt look great value does it ?

It's good to see that posters are agreeing with what I suggested in a few of my posts that Alfie is playing in a different way to that of of previous seasons.?

Compare his linkup play for us compared Klimala for them. Night and day.

Neily's up the junction.

I’ve no idea if anyone did leak their starting XI but if they did is Neily maybe smart enough to realise someone is trying to undermine him and that person maybe one of his superiors? ?

All is not well in their camp. We must capitalise.

Add Bogani Zungu, SA International, still to arrive at Auchenhowie. 

This will be Gerard’s next challenge. Integrating Zungu into the team to replace Davis who can’t go on forever despite a good start to this season

In the first half in particular yesterday you could see what Morelos brings to the team. He’s a team player often with excellent link up play. He’s not getting as many goals as previously just now but hopefully that’ll change soon.

Compare him to that guy they had up front yesterday. They paid £3.5m for him ?

Just think Barker too big a gamble for this fixture. Hope I’m wrong....

That’s Elhamed confirmed as positive. 
 

Funny how the only two Israel players to test positive were Celtic players. Surely it’s not a coincidence Edouard was positive too joining the French camp. 

Do Rangers want to be going away to play a team a number of whose players are testing positive for covid19?

what happens if a number of Rangers players start to test positive after this game?

Expect several of their players to fail tests now

My thoughts too. To get the game called off.
