Not really. He has a couple of very obvious weaknesses. Very happy for people to continue to overlook them until he is sold though.

I was also sat in the North stand but thankfully I was far enough from the Hearts supporters. No risk of flying objects for me. It wasn't all plain sailing though. Early on in the match I heard some deeply offensive language emanating from somewhere further back. Initially the fellow in question was urging Rangers to 'recycle it'. Then as the match developed I heard repeated reference to 'big Shirley'. Shameful scenes.

Why would anyone want to listen to that?

Nice way to end the season.

Yes, lets end with a win for a trophy. That will make it easier to start next season well.

Bamboo is an odd choice, no?

Given that we have another opportunity a win on Wednesday certainly was not required. Fortunately the team, management et al don't share the defeatist outlook.

I'm suggesting that we have lots of room for improvement. Is there a path to the conference league final that doesn't involve a regression?

This notion is everywhere and it is not true. If we start to participate in the champions league group stages often enough then other good chances will come. The team needs to keep working hard though. This has to be inspiration for further improvements.

Who knew that simple questions could prove so difficult?

Yes, yes, reaching the final has impoverished Rangers. Few understand this.

Guaranteed to be a popular choice for anyone that reads red top newspapers.

Prior to his return, in February, I would have moved him on. Now I'm not so sure. He should only be moved on if we know we have a better alternative. Maybe we need a similar player to alternate with him instead.

No problems for me but I was driving and so well hydrated beforehand. I was in the lower tier so I didn't have to cling on to a steep slope. The stalls behind us kept opening and closing throughout normal time. You could see that stocks needed to be constantly replenished as it only had some small fridges.

Probably excessive. It was very bad but we were not imprisoned inside the stadium.

You might have a more reliable alternative. Great when fit but can we rely on him?

The benefit would be if he was still considered the best goalkeeper at the club.

Shouldn't it be someone else that identifies targets now?

Time to move on surely.

Why is that?

I will choose my words carefully so that you are not left with the wrong impression. We are going to hammer them ten nil.

Domestic cups are unimportant in general but losing this one would be a blow at precisely the wrong time. The players have a right to be confident. Winning this cup will help maintain that.

Looks like we will be seeded for the Champions League qualifiers next season. https://kassiesa.net/uefa/seedcl2022.html We need to get the cup final out of the way and focus on this. This season we were suffering from an extended title party hangover. The loss of Roofe and Kamara did not help either. It's possible that the players find it difficult to pick themselves up in time for the qualifiers. Reaching a European final could be as mentally exhausting as 55.
