Seems pretty obvious to me that it is the latter interpretation.

Something even more substantial than that. Whatsapp messages.

They can play it but will it be a step forward or a step back? You would probably see a lot of other mistakes made if you changed the formation.

Quite, but given the situation with Morelos it might well have been enough to live to fight on another day.

I don't think that Helander is really the type that I'm thinking of. I'm suggesting a player in his early thirties who would not be first choice. He wouldn't need to be a great defender either. He just needs to be a guy who we can bring in to a high pressure situation without shattering his confidence.

That is difficult when the team plays twice a week. You need to spend time in training to get it right.

I should add that without the defensive mistakes we may well have escaped with a replay. I suspect we were playing for a replay until Hearts scored. Kamara was about to come on but then Hearts scored and Hagi went on instead.

Just watched the 'highlights'. Some of the defending was absolutely criminal. Tavernier, Goldson and Edmundson at fault this time. What was Tavernier thinking when he headed the ball into a dangerous area? If he can't control where he puts it then he is better to focus on taking up a good position instead. Goldson continues to be incapable of clearing his lines. He has developed a nasty habit of kicking it straight up in the air. When he's not doing that he is passing it to a player in a dangerous position. I feel like I've said this before but he needs to get his head straight. If he can't do that, and return to form, then I think we may well be cashing in on Goldson in the summer. We may still get a nice fee for him from a team in England. Edmundson had a few shocking mistakes. He's the most junior defender in the squad and I'm inclined to be more forgiving in his case. I wonder if we should have brought in another veteran for situations like this.

Two strikers might be a good idea. Especially if it involves moving Hagi inside. What do you mean by 'enforcer'?

His transfer value is a nice side effect of a successful team. Lets get our priorities straight.

I'm not sure he is desperate to move on. I think he has become too comfortable. Either way it is time for all involved to move on. I'll take Kamberi ahead of Morelos for the rest of the season.

Just start buying tickets for matches. If noble men like you would actually attend matches then there would be no tickets left for coin throwers.

You literally called Rangers supporters 'wanks'.

It won't be a clear out. I think the manager might spend the rest of the season reshaping the team around Hagi and sidelining Morelos. We will cash in on Morelos and perhaps Tavernier and Goldson too.

There is no excuse for throwing coins at matches. People who do it are not welcome. Similarly if 'PoohBear' wants to direct verbal abuse at Rangers supporters then he will find a more welcoming audience elsewhere.

Thanks for the invitation. Bringing back Ferguson is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard. There is a reason that he has to make his living the way that he does.

I think he is mulling over dropping a few who have been guaranteed starters. It will be a step back in the short term but should hopefully yield results next season. The question is can he sacrifice the remainder of the league season?

Might be a good idea but it could come at the cost of losing Kamberi.

Totally dominated by Hearts. A 1 - 0 defeat was the most we deserved.

Hearts 2 Rangers 3 First goal scorer: Kent

I think that the manager has to go with his strongest team today. Getting knocked out of the cup would have a really bad effect on our season. Better to play the best team and avoid any risk of that happening.

Tell us about how organised they are.

Allow me to express my complete and utter indifference to this boring draw. Hopefully U.E.F.A. will close the stadium for this match. Then I can wait for something more interesting in the next round.

I don't expect that anyone is paying much attention but U.E.F.A. have provided a list of all the scores in the last 32. You can read them all here: https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/fixtures-results/#/rd/2001151/2 Not sure how interested anyone will be. Perhaps just one for enthusiastic admirers, followers or fans of European football.

More or less. This is Rangers Chat and we just beat Braga home and away. It might not be a baaaad idea for you to take stuff like this off to a thread in General Football Chat.
