buster.

Prior to his first start IIRC

Good to hear that Souttar (at a fee way beyond his worth) is down the pecking order, if indeed he's on it.

We knew he could play this way. What was important about yesterday was that he kept the head in his first OF start and actually played above his usual level.

IMO, it's between that and the Morelos goal at Aberdeen for Most Beautiful Halfway Line to Net..... Goal of the season. Splitting the component parts. Best finish was Morelos but best build-up was yesterday.

At an SPFL level, Killie aren't a poor side. They are a well organised team that are greater than the sum of their parts. A slightly understrength Rangers team should still be able to handle the game. However, regardless of what XI we play, it'll be about our mentality and how much we really want it. Sometimes it's very difficult to avoid that end of season feel. Freshening it up might actually improve our chances. It'll certainly make us more unpredictable for Clarke and gives our coaching staff a chance to tweak/experiment if they had something in mind.

Not much of a hoodoo when we put them out of both Cups with Morelos scoring 7 in 2 games.

I think our season finished yesterday to be honest. I'd send home the guys who have played most of the games Tav, Goldson, Arfield, Jack and Candeias and give them an extra week to recover. I think the important psychlogical win was yesterday and you now have to prioritise next season. It wouldn't be throwing the game away because IMO we've still got enough in the squad and I'd give a couple of the youngsters a start, they deserve it.

Much of the Scottish fitbaw environment is of relative, repetitive and very predictable low quality. From players to pies, officials to authorities, media to songbooks.... but it's what we know and we tend just to go with it. A little bit of imagination and a general will to carry it through regards the songbook could actually see us gain the political initiative but it's not happening anytime soon. As someone who lives overseas and doesn't attend matches I fully understand if my opinion is considered to count for nothing.

Quick observation Oliver Burke has changed hands for something in the region of 25M pounds over two transfer deals but I'd much rather have Jake Hastie. Hastie could make it at a decent level IMO Burke has already crashed and burned

Thanks lads for another decent listen !!

I'd have said so at the beginning of the season but precedent since then suggests grounds for it to be a yellow. I didn't think Clancy had it in him but come the moment, he kept his head and went with what he had seen instead of a premeditaion of sorts.

Deleted due to realisation that content wasn't on topic.

Fair play to Kevin Clancy in his first OF match, he actually did ok. Despite all the noise about the Flanagan/Brown incident, I think he called it correctly. I thought it was somewhere between yellow and red, let's call it orange !...But in those circumstances, it has to be yellow.

Not sure but they might get away with it if Arsenal win the Europa League and qualify for next seasons CL. I wonder how long this new period of English club dominance of European competition will last ? Historically, it would last a few years before another country would take over but the financial background might change that.

The way we planned to set-up in the game would have had SG&Co expecting them to have a bigger % of the possession. It was as close to a perfect execution of a plan as you'll get in these type of games. Thinking longer term, it unfortunately showed up the opposition management team in a very bad light and on top of Gerrard finding a way to turn around the game at Parkhead (if not the result), ensures what I had suspected since he was appointed, that Lennon won't be there beyond the end of this month. That said, we need to concentrate on ourselves. Centre half Creative midfielder Centre forward (sell Morelos) Try and keep Tav Get Barasic firing Kent on loan, if not Woodburn

Game at their place was one of two halves. The other 3 OF games have been very one-sided. We're conceded one less goal than they have over the four. The league was lost elsewhere but absolutely no-one can deny the significant progress that SG&Co have brought.

If Man Utd finish in 6th,..by my reckoning they'd be struggling to complete their lucrative pre-season games because of EL qualifiers. That would be such a pity !

Didn't the Spanish city of Oranges (Valencia) give them a double going over aswell ? They've struggled against anything decent. Valencia 2 wis and 2 clean sheets Rangers at Ibrox: the same differnce being the game at their place.

Goldson as well ! Tav is now level on goals scored (14) with a 9M pound striker but pishes all over him with assist numbers. Alfredo is still numero uno of League goals (17) Wed 03/04/19 PRE Rangers 3 - 0 Hearts View events More info Sun 07/04/19 PRE Motherwell 0 - 3 Rangers View events More info Sat 20/04/19 PRE Hearts 1 - 3 Rangers View events More info Sun 28/04/19 PRE Rangers 2 - 0 Aberdeen View events More info Sun 05/05/19 PRE Rangers 1 - 0 Hibernian View events More info Sun 12/05/19 PRE Rangers 2 - 0 Celtic

I fully appreciate the mitigating factors but the manager has to deal with the reality.

Excellent victory with no failures in the team. We didn't let them into the game and Foderinghm might a well have brought a book to read. I'm left thinking we missed a really good chance this season but that is past and we can look forward with some justified optimism.

Excellent first half from all ! Once again, quality from Tav produces a goal. Slightly frustrating note is Defoe getting caught offside so much. Another goal would help the nerves.

Do we set-up in the same way as of late or not ? Do we use the same players (goalkeeper apart) ? -------------------------- The easiest thing to do would be to go same again but I'm not convinced it'd be our best bet... but at the same time, I'd be interested to see how it worked against what is our biggest test within the Scottish game. We need everyone to come to the party but especially, that Davis and Defoe show their experience and quality. If they can help make a significant and positive difference today, it'd give me more optimism for next season.

Whatever floats your boat, Darling !

Ok, Darling !
