  1. Liverpool have a Heavyweight CL contest in the midweek prior to that game. This season could still go very Pete Tong for the Scousers if they can't get back to winning consistency soon.
  2. As the weeks pass, alterations in formation and of players are inevitable for obvious reasons. However, we want and need a consistency of positive results and to this end, the tinkering aspect to it should be kept to a minimum. In other words, if you want consistent results, be as consistent as possible in selection. SG&Co have to quickly decide on what way they are going to go and who they are going to trust in. Central defence is one example, decide on the best pairing and stick with it. Up front, we can't be chopping and changing to accommodate a player. You'd like to think that today will be something of a formality. On paper, it's about as straightforward a fixture as you'll get and I trust that we'll get the business done with something to spare. Hopefully, giving the manager some license to use the bench relatively early. Guessing the starting line-up has been more difficult than the score this season (and I've been useless in the later) so I'll pass on that but I'd hope to see Davis showing some quality today and McCrorie back in the team.
  3. As it stands (in the real world), he isn't........... but in time might well be worth more than that.
  4. Whilst we can rightly claim a degree of loyalty second to none in Scotland, the main issue with attendances is revenue. In other words, even if XX,000 aren't bothered enough to turn up and take their seat at the Brendenbeu, they've paid for it and over a season, it's another important financial advantage they currently hold over us.
  5. If you take the KIlmarnock defeat. If Kamara brings his qualities to Ibrox and can handle the weight of the shirt, then his bravery and ability on the ball would have been a step-up from what Ryan Jack gave us that night.
  6. How far can Morelos go in the game ? I'd guess and say in terms of the UK, he could eventually get to mid table EPL. With potential, I'd say he's worth around 12M just now but the fact is it depends on how much interested clubs are willing to pay. There doesn't seem to have been any concrete interest in him this window and in an ideal world (within the clubs business model) we'll either get him to sign an extension or move him on this summer. It's up to Alfredo to keep improving, play well, keep his place, score goals and if that could help us to silverware come May, it could only push the value upwards.
  7. If there was an award for most improved player, Halliday would win it IMO. The type of player and character a Rangers squad will always need.
  8. Crazy set of results given the consistency the top sides have shown this season. Bookies will be happy. Spurs who are now only two points behind Man City, are the only senior side in England or Scotland not to have drawn a league game and it's the end of January
  9. The most important thing right now for JR is getting games. Going to a Championship club and ending up on the bench is no good. If he can stay fit and get 4 months of games then that is an important step forward for the lad. I'd consider anything we get out of or from JR now as a bonus and our recruitment tends to suggest we aren't expecting much from him anytime soon.
  10. Left Back is a position that at this moment in time doesn't have an obvious first choice. If Barisic can stay fit for a few months, I reckon he has the ability and the skills to make the position his. Let's see who starts next midweek up in sheepland.
  11. Not a great deal of creativity in that line-up. Interested to see how Lafferty and Defoe get on. Neither have much match sharpness but it's Cowdenbeath, so should be able to create havoc.
  12. Not really what we want to hear given our history with such.
  13. Thanks to all involved for that wee listen. In football parlance, JohnMc adds a wee bit of quality ....or, is capable of the unexpected
  14. I'd never known a career in punditry to indirectly reveal just why that same person never fulfilled his potential as a player, before Michael Stewart was given a microphone.
  15. I just couldn't let the petard you yourself hoisted go without a light hearted comment #OG It would have been rude not to have.
  16. My recollection is hazy but I was probably offering a plethora of positive solutions A Bullshit Invented Metric (BIM) has a certain ring to it and might be the most positive thing to have come from this line of chat
  17. That's a big plus for us. IMO, he is their best central defender.
  18. According to Craig's measurement,.. Willingness to be Negative,......... he'd be in the bright red or 'Ultra Grade'
  19. So what you are saying is Craig's Killie to Livingston posting ratio, which is 4:1*, is superior to the overall ratio of 3:1* and that would make Craig above average on what he described as a willingness to be negative. * approximately ....
  20. He was overrated in terms of the relentless steady drip of Lawwell planted propaganda but Dembele was very good in his first season but then started going backwards as his hamstrings gave him constant problems. An attractive feature of Morelos is his capacity to play so much and not suffer many injuries.
  21. Kudos to Fleck for knuckling down and working hard over a number of years in the English lower leagues. He deserves a big move.
  22. There must be a way of doing some kind of satirical cartoon on PQ. I'd chip-in with lines/ideas but don't have know-how/not capable of the artwork.
  23. Morelos hasn't yet reached the level Dembele was at in his first season in Glasgow although in time I think he will overtake him.
  24. Summer Offer....' Candy & Tav' Solve your Right Side issues with a defender who attacks and an attacker who defends. The perfect Synergastic combination for all needs can be yours for 25M* * Buy before June 10th and we'll throw in Jimmy Bell !
