    But we didn't (win the league) and the manager has to take a share of the blame and responsibility for that. 

    Do you think he hasn’t?

     

    The turning point was the postponement of a match (Dundee?) which if Rangers had won would have put them on top of the league. As a result of the postponement the other team in the race got another game before Rangers did and the points gap was extended. Rangers still had games in hand but the momentum collapsed.

     

    Old Rangers sides would have redoubled their efforts but that wasn’t in the current players. You can say that the manager should have got them to do it. Would Smith or Wallace or Symon have done it? With that squad? @26th of foot says elsewhere, you can only play the hand you’ve got.

  2. Refs, cheats and injuries aside could anyone imagine Rangers actually scoring a goal?

     

    Barron’s a flaming diamond.

     

    Yilmaz is far too wee.

     

    Lawrence is inexplicable.

     

    Cerny can play a bit but needs a couple of forwards in the middle.

     

    At least McCausland has some idea how to get towards the opposition goal.

    Taking that into account I can see Hearts struggling and Naismith being the first.

    Hibs have form for sackings but no expectations yet. 
     

    Hearts slower to sack but they’ve got expectations so it could be Naismith.

    Left out Madrid 63 a six nil thrashing without breaking sweat 

    Not a day for very bad memories though it could turn out that way. 
     

    Worse than Real was Milan. 1957 because we expected to win that one. 1-0 up and cruising, then Grillo. 1-4.

    think of Dynamo Kiev in a similar way I do Eintracht Frankfurt, St Etienne and Moscow Dynamo, clubs with important historical links to our history.

    Kiev the only club to avoid defeat by Rangers in the famous tour of “Russia”. Locomotiv Moscow and Dynamo Tblisi (Georgia) were defeated by the Famous before the Ukrainians salvaged some Soviet pride.

    I always thought Blackburn were more of a recent* success? Were they successful back then? 

    You’re right. They weren’t all that great. Did well enough in the early sixties. Neighbours Burnley and Preston North End did much better. 

     

    Wednesday weren’t even as good as that. Sunderland did all right. WBA were quite successful.

     

    They were all clubs with history not that history is worth very much as we are painfully discovering.

  7. If he scored the easy ones but didn’t manage to somehow fashion goals from nowhere he’d be a favourite. It’s the disappointment that clouds the judgement. Twenty non penalty goals can’t be scoffed at.

    I'd rather have a bit of that "quality" these days

    Munro was a better defender than any of the current team except Balogun. Balogun unfortunately struggles to play two games in a week. Munro would have played the next day if asked. 
     

    Unfortunately Rangers couldn’t afford Davie Robertson now.

     

    We can’t help moaning, though. ‘Twas ever thus. I wish we could confine it to conversation and cheer the team that’s on the park.
