RANGERRAB

Hearts & Thistle between them picked one of the three panel members.

The SPFL picked another.

The two already selected picked the third.

The SFA are supposed to be the governing body of Scottish football. They have failed miserably today for hearts & thistle just as they failed us back in 2012.

Once this went to the SFA arbitration panel there was only going to be one outcome. Can only sympathise with hearts & partick thistle. Another disgraceful day in Scottish football 

If Morelos does go I’d prefer to see us go for a traditional 6ft plus centre forward which would give us the longball option should we need it

The £1 mill fee we paid for him is irrelevant.  It’s what we can get for the cash we receive for him.

The £1m we paid for Morelos was a steal. We could end up paying a lot more for a replacement nowhere near as good

If he goes then he goes 

 

We will move on 

 

As long as it is right for us 

It isn’t right for us. We’ve no fit striker for next Saturday & we’ll struggle to get anyone anywhere near as good as Morelos. Especially for the £1m we paid for him

Genuinely worried if we can hold onto Barasic.

No big surprise. I think Gerrard privately wants him gone. Now we have to bring in at least one striker before next Saturday 

Very poor first half performance

Agreed. Look at Andy Robertson. He went from Queens Park to Liverpool in 4 years and is now a CL winner, Premiership winner and is regarded as one of the best left back in he world.

Did you know that the WC runners-up LB plays for Rangers ? ?

In Scotland we need to stop under valuing our players , we are mental at this , McKennas not worth this amount ,dykes  isn’t worth X amount , yet down south a player goes for the same amount in league one , yet in a season is worth 6 times , then a season in the championship is worth £20 million , we are our own worst enemies . 

The reason players down south go for much higher fees than ours is because they play in better leagues than any of the SPFL leagues.  

Alarm bells must be ringing regards Jermaine Defoe. Injured again. Just wonder if maybe age finally catching up on this once great player 

The signings of McLauchlin & Balogun already look better signings than some of the signings made last summer many of whom only looked like squad players filling jerseys 

Both McLauchlin & Balogun will push strongly for a starting place. Those currently in the first choice starting XI need to be on their toes

Game of two halves apparently.  Said they played well first half but we’re poor second half.

 

A couple of players did themself no harm apparently......

Don’t you think that was an absolutely appalling result? What does it say about the youth academy?

Would like to see Morelos get on the scoresheet. His goals have dried up this year.

An absolutely dreadful result. Too much money being spent on a youth academy which produces next to no one for the first team. I’ve always thought  Gerrard had reservations about the young players at Rangers. Not difficult to see why  

Racism is abhorrent & should be eradicated but the question needs asked whether the BLM organisation are the best way to contribute to this. Seems to me they’re anarchists who have jumped on the anti-racism bandwagon to further their own aims.

After two 2-zip victories, have we won La Ligue?

 

How did Dundee vote?

Dundee’s vote has been lost in a spam folder in a server somewhere near the Seine

Apparently Foderingham is signing for Sheffield Utd.

Seen that. Good luck to him he’s a good keeper.Just a pity we never got a fee for him.

The dummy Goldson sold Dembele making him knock it out for a Rangers throw was brilliant ?

Probably still laughing as got subbed just afterwards 

FFP must be the biggest joke of all time. Man City with no debt fell foul of it but neighbours Man Utd with £500m debt were okay.

Then there’s Barcelona & Real Madrid with their soft loans, property deal, non-payment of taxes etc, etc

Looks to me this is a last ditch effort by the SFA to save the SPFL. I think the SFA know if hearts & partick thistle win the SPFL is finished

I think he can do the job of back-up to Tav.

Young Paterson needs to go out on loan first & get experience before he can be considered for the first team squad

I dont know why we bother to have a youth at up.   Mcrorie is the last player I can remember to come through the ranks and we punted him out on loan.    

Agree. And what are the costs having youth teams and all the various coaches when virtually none of the players become first team regulars? Could that money be better spent elsewhere?

The step up to the first team squad will always be too big a step for the vast majority of youth players at any big club.  Rangers are no different.
