We've got to go for it against Spartak at home. It's our best chance to take three points and the Villareal match will still be very tough.

Kent was great again. So many great moments from him in the match. None of them got the end result he deserved though.

No thanks. We're top of the group now and we want to stretch our lead.

Rapid looked quite good in the first half but then a spent force in the second. We showed strength of character to keep fighting though. Especially since our players were making lots of unforced errors throughout the match. It would have been easy to give up. Morelos had a mixed night but managed to do what counted. Candeias also made some key contributions for the goals. Joe Worrall had a really good game tonight too. Overall a great night and easily worth £35.

To hear people singing the f-word. Lets forget all that crap and enjoy the match.

I hope every Hearts fan in existence comes out of the woodwork for that match. Two home wins please.

@Frankie I think that the wrong episode may have been posted on the Stitcher feed.

Quite. What do you disagree with?

Not sure that sacking the manager was the right move. It's a bad result but Dundee United are still in a decent position for the playoff places. Really hoping for Dundee to turn it around though. Apart from anything else I think that relegation for Dundee would help Dundee United.

You are boycotting our semi-final?

Yes, I'm never happy to see this when we are about to play someone. It's often the case that the players get a boost.

I wish he hadn't done it. I have no idea why anybody would do something like thie either. Hopefully he will receive sufficient punishment to discourage others.

Watching that game was torture. It was clear throughout that we were struggling to create anything. So many crosses into the box that Livingston dealt with easily. The pitch is not an excuse but it is definitely one of the reasons we lost. We need to learn to perform better on that surface because the SPFL does not have the wit to insist on grass.

I can't wait for this festival of football.

I'm not being defeatist. Go back and read my post again. I'm specifically advocating a difficult battle. I think it is really lame, on your part, to resort to calling people defeatist. It doesn't support your argument in any way.

Some say tens of thousands of Rangers fans are desperate to hear this ...

This will never happen. Even if the B.B.C. were to agree it would not live up to the agreement. Much better to win and make them look foolish. We should also do our best to attract the attention of England based B.B.C. sports journalists.

Some great stuff from Kent and Middleton tonight. A shame that Grezda didn't see more of the ball.

There are quite a few Rangers podcasts available at the moment. I enjoy them to such an extent that I never once wonder what the B.B.C. would say about us.

A statement? I've no idea why that would persuade the B.B.C. to cover us. The B.B.C. is taking issue with the fact that we revoked privileged access to McLaughlin. If you really think that there are alternatives then it would be great if you could describe them for us.

You might be right. Of course, I didn't appeal to the B.B.C. feeling stupid but rather looking foolish. If we are sufficiently successful on the pitch then it will be clear to any fair minded individual that the B.B.C. is cutting off its own nose to spite its face.

Rangers have two options to resolve it. 1. Win the league and make the B.B.C. look foolish. 2. Restore privileged access to McLaughlin. Which one are you asking for?

This is all down to the B.B.C. Rangers shouldn't budge an inch.
