Rangers 2 Dundee United 1 First goal scorer: Čolak

Not very good, perhaps?

McCann and King! Quite incredible. I hope it works out.

Oh, now you want to talk about fitness. Quite different from match sharpness. It is quite a surprise to discover this. No really, it is.

I'm not expecting to see McCann.

Match sharpness comes from playing matches at the required level. If a player can't handle criticism then there are other clubs for him to play at. I think that this is clear.

Let me post how I like. It's a little different in style to the norm on here, but different isn't wrong.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

He leads the entire defence.

Not referring to attendance. His opinion is so detached from reality that I find it hard to imagine him having watched much on television. (Also fine but no need to pretend)

You won't gain match sharpness from playing in the B-team. The level is too low. You might gain it from playing matches in the first team.

How many Rangers matches have you actually watched?

It is not for the purpose of match sharpness.

It doesn't look good at the moment. I wouldn't bet on any points in Europe now. We are trailing Celtic in the league already. Dropped points will be rare. The cups don't matter. One exception would be when a manager needs to evade pressure from the fans.

If the manager has been identifying these players then he will need them to deliver soon. The board will be unsure about permitting any further spending.

Zero complaints about Čolak so far. I think he would have scored the early chance last night. Sands is ok but I don't think he is good enough for the first team in any position. The real question is about Davies. When will he replace Sands? Ridvan has had almost zero impact so far. Paying a large fee for him is baffling. Matondo looks clueless to me. He makes Wright look amazing in comparison.

While I am here I should mention that all season ticket holders should be compelled to buy European tickets.

Very good until the red card. No doubt about the result after that.

Don't hold your breath.

Rangers 2 Napoli 2 First goal scorer: Čolak

All stitched up. Guess we can all just tune in to the big leagues.

That's the spirit! No surrender!

Well, well, well, that certainly sounds like good craic.

I was unable to watch the match but I've just watched the goals. Why do Ajax get a free header for the first? The problem there is not a lack of investment.

Bassey playing. Not sure if we have the wide players to take advantage of that but an opportunity is there.
