buster.

Watching the post match video, SG sounds like he's running out of things to say. The next game is at the BrendanLessbeu and we've got to get things right for that game and at the very least, be competitive. If we were to take a comprehensive beating the alarm bells would start to sound. Playing away from home might actually work in our favour.

Interesting graphic We appear at the beginning and keep a close eye on it at 45 seconds

This is an updated list from a week or two back. It was 6 wins from 17 and is now 6 wins from 20 Won 6 Drawn 9 Lost 5 There needs to be an upturn in those numbers before the end of the season or SG will come under some pressure.

He's not match-fit so anything we get from him today will be a bonus. SG is going down a risky road.

Won't be seeing Defoe and Lafferty together then.

Not at all keen on that midfield. What has McCrorie done to be so far down the pecking order ? Not for the first time, a lot depends if Morelos comes to the party.

You've just surpassed the level of comedy that is at the root of this latest sub-dispute

When in charge, I think taking responsibility extends to doing something tangible about it that goes towards a solution.

I think it's more a matter of wanting him to do something about it that works. I think the repetitive nature of certain negatives becomes frustrating

EPL TV deal starting to have an effect on CL.

Probably the same as when we beat Celtic with a great performance. --------------------------- What remains of the season is difficult (in terms of opposition) and we either come together as a team and meet the challenge or the whole show might start to unravel.

Our problem is that we haven't the finance to bring in those one or two that are sure to make a big difference. To bring in players who were very good but are way past their best isn't the way to go either. We have to build a squad, coach players and make them better. However, this is where we don't have much of a track record. It seems to be very difficult for players to handle the pressure and demands of playing for Rangers. It also seems to me that the demands are too great for a succession of managers because a lot of the time, the timescales aren't realistic. There is no magic button, it'll take time and how ever much anyone shouts that there is no time, it won't change that.

Like when it actually has something to do with the subject matter.

McLean had been letting a few tackles go throughout the match. He might argue that he was consistent in that and that he was looking to let the game flow but doing that would be taking a risk that it might lead to exactly what happened re. the Hibs equaliser or a bad injury. A foul is a foul and they should be awarded, period.

Is that some kind of wind-up or are you a method actor ?

A month is neither here nor there. Scottish football isn't a special case when it comes to the law other than when it was targeted by the Offensive Behaviour Act, since repealed.

When John Wilson confronted Neil Lennon at Tynecastle it was immediately classified by all the usual suspects as a sectarian attack. So loud was the clamour, he was charged accordingly. However, they couldn't get the sectarian part to stick in a court of law. It didn't deter or stop the usual suspects from promoting an agenda. Nor can you say sectarianism doesn't exist but when they use only one eye to look at the problem, the usual suspects should lose credibility, However they still get their lofty platform to preach from.

I'd be disappointed if he was younger but regardless of any other consideration, he's at an age and stage of his career where it makes sense.

Getting picked ahead of Carlos Bacca shows how he is rated by the Colombian management team. He now needs to go out there and take his chance. His previous call-up came from the previous manager. The fact that the new manager has also called him up is encouraging for his future. Unfortunately, the long trip isn't the best preperation for the Celtic game. There always seems to be something that has us going into that fixture at less than 100%.

There is one cartridge with two shots for whatever club representative (fan) group to publicly use. 1. Metaphorically take out /discredit Cosgrove from his lofty platform.... 2. ....Linked to why he goes on so much about whataboutery, which is at least in part to protect himself...and that it is but a tool that looks to lock the sectarianism issue into a one-way debate. The takeaway point being the wider application of the above rather than just regarding Cosgrove.

The natural reaction is 'don't be paranoid' but given what we see almost weekly, you start to have reasonable doubt.

Out of the Top 4 from last season (Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs) at this stage, I think we are the only team to have improved our points total. The middle bracket of the league have more points.

Now that you mention H&H...... What about an InterPodThinkTank come together to discuss relationship with BBC Scotland .... 26th, JohnMc, David Edgar & Shane CRO
