buster.

Did anyone watch Sportscene last night ? Did they go into slow motion detail on the Kilmarnock sending off,....what de say ? Thanks !

Nothing controversial about the red card, you can't elbow opposition players in the face, especially when you don't have the excuse of raising arms to leap. It was a deliberate elbow jab to the head..........well spotted and an excellent, brave decision by the officials. Attendance of nearly 38K was excellent and they more than anyone deserved the goalfest. The Scottish Cup will be about keeping Morelos available and firing. Good to see no cairds to go with the 4 goals (the League Cup hat-trick in August came with a yellow that contributed to his semi-final suspension). For the first time under Clarke, Kilmarnock are on an extended run without a win and have just been tanned 5 zip and their hopes of silverware this season disappeared with it #Deflection Clarke must have nightmares about wee Alfie Cooponthewing should have had a CoupononMorelos5-0 .....I reckon it would have paid around 80/1 Well done Coop, some prediction !

Morelos for a 3rd in the first ten minutes of the second half then replace him and keep him away from the cairds.

Could do with a second before HT.

Penalty ???

Killie down to 10.....don't know who or why !

Cannae see the game but a Morelos goal after 7 minutes helps to tick off both points.

Can Jack and Kamara play at a high tempo ? They strike me as being more comfortable with a measured and careful approach. That said, haven't seen enough of Kamara to be sure. Would have preferred McCrorie for this one.

Would have preferred to see McCrorie start, is he injured ?

I reckon a response/reaction is almost a given and will come in the form of an effort to start with a relatively high tempo. As I've said, I think it important we make hay and get ahead early in the game when we may have them on the ropes. If it settles down into a not uncommon Killie stalemate or worse and the crowd start turning, it'll be a real test of the players will and nerve. Team news will hopefully bring a starting XI close to the last OF game.

Read what I wrote........ I think we'll end up winning by a couple but that is contingent on an early goal. I wouldn't fancy our chances if it becomes a frustrating battle. #3-1

Neither team are in a great place. - We haven't scored since Defoe deftly put away the definitive goal at Aberdeen (180 minutes) - Kilmarnock haven't won a game since they beat us at Rugby Park nearly a month ago Two things strike me as being especially important tonight. 1. Morelos plays at the high level we know he can. 2. We score an early goal (something we've done a lot at Ibrox this season. I think we'll be up for it and we need to make a high tempo count for something in the first 20 minutes or so. Neither Davis or Defoe should start. I hope Arfield is fit and not at about 75% as he looked in the last few games. I think we'll end up winning by a couple but that is contingent on an early goal. I wouldn't fancy our chances if it becomes a frustrating battle.

SG doesn't lack baws,............. he lacks enough good players. He'll want to address that in the summer window and the board will need to find serious backing once again to convince him that title success is doable.

We'll have Celtic looking to run referee academy next and be in charge of recruitment.

A question regards the point raised in the CRO article needs to be researched, carefully framed and very publicly asked by Rangers. It could serve as part of a follow-up to the Robertson interview.

I get that McCoist tends to be motivated by money (it's not uncommon) but he'd be a good person to contribute in an effort against BBC Scotland because he's very good at media and he's had an up close and personal negative experience in the same fight against PQ. Whether he'd be up for it, I don't know but you can only ask. We should let Gerrard get on with managing the first team as much as possible but yes, he'd definately be an excellent voice when and if we really wanted/needed a specific message to reach a UK audience.

Ally McCoist is one such person who was directly affected by BBC Scotland when employed by Rangers and has media gumption in spades.

You need ex-players/others who have a level of knowledge of the subject and sufficient media gumption to be able to put points accross and probably field a cross-examination. To simply push forward any Xplayer and give him a line to put accross would end up working against you. To have any hope of success, the whole effort has to be carried out with due care to detail.

Best article on the subject that I've read. Cheers Rick !

Mixed messages from SG since the game, he'd be better concentrating on Kilmarnock. He needs all the players onside or what's left of the season could get messy.

Interesting chat on tic tacs.

I know that is laughable, you know it's laughable but we've got to find a way of convincing a sceptical third party. I think this is where groups/websites not directly connected with the club can help if the expertise is there to put together various short online productions that put forward actual examples.

I thought the Robertson interview was long overdue and needs to be followed up. Too often we've seen a play that is made at a time to appease disgruntled fans that isn't followed-up. #strategy

What does DEFCON 5 look like ? (As Scott pointed out, I take it you mean DEFCON 1) Lay it out in some detail I'm curious because whilst the line may sound good to disgruntled fans, I don't think it realistic unless it has a solid legal base. However, I may be wrong, if you could explain how it would work.
