buster.

Clarke can point to mitigating circumstances (limited quad). Southgate is like Gareth in 'The Office '.

The Butland / captain angle has leaked out. It shouldn't have.

Sounds like Malcolm Tucker has been on the phone to them trying to mop up the pish. Kinda looks like it's been leaked and we are trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Fall out after a Slovenia win would be delicious 🤞🏻

This is turning into a real opportunity for England if they top their group. Top half of draw has potential quarters of Spain v Germany Portugal v France

France and England are the two disappointments so far Although we all know that it's the KO stages where the winners step up.

Butland the new captain Tav ousted Interesting Clement wants to keep Big Jack. What happens if a respectable offer comes in for Butland ? Tav days at Rangers look low numbered but would bring in less transfer money.

Agree with Stevie. Can't really imagine Norwich letting him go on the cheap. Nor McLean settling for a relatively low wage or/and a short contract. 32 year old with high mileage. Not where relatively substantial money should go.

Close to HT in their final group game and France have been out scored by Clarke's Scotland. France will go through but thus far, a major disappointment. French have got a player called Barcode, on the left hand side.

League is crazy. First time I looked at it, I was bottom with 4 points. Within 24 hours, I was up to third. I quickly fell like a stone to 15th place and a day or two later, 5th ! Expecting to be in the relegation zone soon

There are obvious limitations to what the Scotland squad could have achieved. However, the manager didn't make a timely or coherent attempt at beating Hungary. That isn't to say that we would have won but not at least giving it a go just isn't on. Over his time, Clarke has done fairly well but it is now time for a change. He would better suited to Aberdeen when their new Scandinavian gets the bullet. Steve Clarke and his dour expression would be at home, looking out to a grey and unwelcoming North Sea 😂

We didn't deserve anything other than a ticket home. Clarke was far too negative tonight. Generally, our players just aren't good enough. What exactly does McPhee do as a set piece coach? They were pathetic.

Harry Kane is now publicly replying to pundits who criticised him 😂 "The bottom line is we haven't won anything as a nation for a long, long time and a lot of these players were part of that as well and they know how tough it is. So it is not digging anyone out, it is just the reality that they do know it is tough to play in these major tournaments and tough to play for England." Poor Harry ! But when it comes to winning nothing, you can't knock his track record.

Pirlo should start because of the coolest Panenka penalty of all time when Hart was in goal for England. The Italian midfielder was sublime that match. Talking of Panenka, one of the great finals was the West Germany v Czechoslovakia in 76. What a game

Come back and ask when the venue and timescale is known. Hypothetical gut feel, loss. It would be interesting to see if we could attract an attendance over the 50k mark at Murrayfield. Added logistics for many would make it a big ask IMO. We played Hearts there once. Anyone remember the attendance? Edit Was a Hearts home game Attendance 32,000 So they made extra cash that day to help cover the 4 matches (1 win) they played there in 2017 (work on a stand).

Ignore them. What is more important is what our club are actually doing. Sustained Incompetence at a number of levels. Our consistency in f**king things up is quite something. It is a very difficult and challenging job that the board have. The remit has a supporting budget that makes it an uphill battle from the off. Measures to make our money go further have tended to backfire on us, in the football department as well as other areas. John Bennett is a competent individual but the general situation is difficult.

Doesn't give one much confidence in what the board say in the statement. Rumours circulating that September is an optimistic shout for getting back to Ibrox. Who knows !! A poor financial situation just got worse. CL qualifying: Will make a difficult task a lot harder. Clubs looking to buy our players will know we are desperate. Omnishambles indeed.

Give Harry Kane the job as player-manager. After a very rare trophy less season with Bayern Munich, his credentials are unbeatable.

Really, I hadn't realised !! As Rangers supporters we know only too well that injured footballers can be bought. We ain't sold many and the ones we have managed to shift, seemingly hopeless cases, can make unexpected recoveries, eg. Prodan, Helander.

You'll be watching it, like the rest of us 😂 Pity Hickey and Dykes are injured. Important players for the system Clarke plays. Ralston isn't a patch on Hickey.

There is that as well. Makes you wonder where this pish is coming from.
