When Morelos hits the next threshold for a suspension for yellow cards, how many games will it be ?

196 league minutes 3 goals 1 every 66 minutes 90 Cup minutes 1 goal -------- If he could get his Cup ratio down to 66 minutes this weekend we'd be ok

Wee detail......Defoe scored the 55th goal of our league campaign last night.

If McGregor's is a red, so is that.

Agreed, I think it'd be easier for Kilmarnock to isolate him. Morelos is vital to the way we play and his suspensions have a habit of hurting us. If Arfield doesn't make it then a thus far significantly less than 100% Davis might be asked to do something that his game isn't yet up to. I'd be tempted to put Halliday into the midfield and push Jack slightly further forward. The lead-up to the second goal between Jack and Kent was sublime but isn't talked about because of how good Alfredo's finish was.

We are in the same place as post OF win but within a different timescale....ie. have to back up big win at Rugby Park. We went into the Rugby Park League game with IMO the wrong set-up and now it's going to be difficult to play the way we should have because we'll almost certainly be missing Morelos.

I think the mediatic climate around the award of penalty-kicks in Rangers games after the St.Mirren game made it more likely that a referee would take an opportunity to level things up and help prevent a media slaughtering. Given the referee's position and the isolation of Tav & Ferguson, I'd say fair enough.

One thing we have to do after what is a big win, is to back it up and not fall over at the next hurdle, as is our habit. Kilmarnock on plastic without Morelos is a real challenge that we need to deal with. Arfield might also be a doubt. Defoe and Davis ?

Equally, there was no reason to let the business side of things to leak at this moment in time.

More comfortable with expectation levels at Aberdeen. Anyone taking the Rangers job in these times has to effectively back themselves to win an outside bet.

Fine margins Memories of the Motherwell 3-3 game kept flashing through my head during a long last 42 minutes of the second half. Aberdeen are a better team than Motherwell and now have some decent attacking options compared to the opening day of the season. It looked increasingly like the sheep would equalise and as so often happens, perhaps it was going to happen right at the death....but we also have more attacking options and Defoe provided the clinical finish to yet another assist from our most important creative outlet, Tav. The referee had a decent game all things considered. I don't think Morelos will have any joy appealing the red but it's worth a go. McGregor was protecting himself, a goalies prerogative in the unwritten laws of the game but one that in time VAR might reduce at the top level. Any argument that says McGregor should have saw red could be leveled with Ferguson's kick at McGregor also a red. Bottomline,....we won the battle up in sheepland. Vital 3 points and an important psychological win.

I think it's the first time we've won 4 on the bounce under SG&Co If the red for Morelos stands, is it a simple 2 game suspension or will it be more for accumulation of suspensions ?

Dithering Dandies Corporation will be along soon led by a Dick

Well taken goal by Defoe from yet another Tav assist prevented the almost inevitable last gasp equaliser.,....breath !!! Morelos 15 league goals and 4 assists (19) Tav 9 league goals and 9 assists (18) Top two of the combined list. ----- Lovely finishes from Morelos tonight. His suspension cost us any chance of the League Cup. He's started the same way in the Scottish Cup,...at least it won't be Sadiq.

That's pretty much the team I wanted to see. Hope Goldson is well up to speed. Katic is unlucky to be dropped. Same attitude throughout the team as the OF game and we should get the 3 points.

Thanks to all those involved for a good listen !

My prediction (1-1) is subject to change if I see the starting XI i think is right ↔️

Awarding Rangers a penalty at Ibrox led to Conroy's retiral as a referee

That term wasn't used in the statement from the club. ".....His contract has been terminated....."

Fans can't advocate conflict with media and also reasonably expect a fair crack of the whip. Actions tend to have consequences. That doesn't make it right, far from, especially wrt the public broadcaster.

We have to win tonight and McInnes knows that we'll be looking to attack. He'll almost certainly be employing a version of what were Walter Smiths tactics of soaking up pressure and looking towards the counter-attack and set-piece. First league game of the season showed an ability to change things effectively from the bench. As Stewarty points towards, we may need to be flexible tonight.

Would and wouldn't be a surprise if employed tonight. Would beacuse I doubt it'll be what we go with. Wouldn't be for McInnes (I think it was under Murty) in as much as he'll have seen it recently employed. McCrorie, Jack and Tav are the only three of those starting line-ups who are in real contention for tonight.
