No Pröpper? Does he not need to play to get used to a new team?

I don’t mind hiring the best gun in town even if he shot us up when someone else was paying him. But not if the toe of his left boot is scuffed.

Every single one of them a real player. Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Davis, McKinnon, Baxter, Scott, McMillan, Millar Brand and Wilson. Look at the expressions on the faces of Harry Davis and Jimmy Millar. Game’s over and they’ve won the cup but they’re still at their work. Now think about Todd and Ben. Oh dear.

In the third competitive game of the season?

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.

They might need it all for a contingent liability.

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.

Hibs have form for sackings but no expectations yet. Hearts slower to sack but they’ve got expectations so it could be Naismith.

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.

Naw. Fiorentina maybe.

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.

The computer will be relegated at the end of the season.

Ironic that some players will be given the task of progressing to the next stage in the knowledge that by so doing they’ll be funding their replacements.

I think we need one of our Accountants to tell us if in this case a book profit is the same as a real one.

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.

Wednesday, Blackburn, West Brom and Sunderland at the top of a league. Is it the 1940s again?

No, no no.. what do you know about it? I’ll be honest and say I was making the same mistake but Liam McLeod of bbc Scotland Celtsound says it’s Prooper. So that’s us tell’t.

How did Pröpper play? He hasn’t been trashed so I assume he wasn’t bad. He wasn’t the only one at fault for his og but from the telly it looked avoidable by him. You can’t make a judgement from the telly, though.

He scored at least half a dozen but not in his debut game nor in his league debut either.

Not yet.

So it should at this time of year. Hope Hampden’s in decent shape. I wonder who prepares the pitch - Rangers, QP or SFA.

Motherwell started the slide at the end of last season. Let’s hope their demolition tomorrow sees Rangers off on a title winning surge of unbeaten performances.

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.

Why do you think that? I thought it might be the making of him. He’s got plenty of talent but doesn’t seem to want to work with it.

I never expect Dessers to score an easy chance. He prefers to stumble the ball into the net off a post and through a cloud of feet.
