buster.

I thought we had but now that you say, I think it was a while the ball wasn't in play, so no foul.

He really is exceptional in what he has managed to do. A different continent and culture Goals in Finland Goals in Scotland with the pressure of playing for a big club Not to mention his physique and how he uses it to good advantage as well as a knowledge of how to play the role that suggests more experience.

I think that Collums is probably due an OF match.

Fouls were given for the two recent assaults, it was the colour of the card that was the issue. Collum must be due this one and he doesn't often shy away from blowing his whistle.

Couldn't believe it when Cummings was the futherest player back and cleared up a dangerous situation in our box yesterday. He's working hard and gets about the pitch, all over the pitch but I don't think he helps our fluidity at the moment, in the way Murphy has been. Perhaps with more games, he could find his way into the style of play better but unless there are injuries, I doubt that he'll get much more than sub appearences. If fit, Morelos simply has to start. You don't change something that has been getting results and besides, I see it as a positive that the goals are shared out between various players. We could really do with Murphy back in time for next week though, he would make it much more difficult to defend against us.

Defence is a definate concern although this game is in isolation regards approach, eg. sometimes you'll concede 3 to a Hamilton side and then get a clean sheet against Hearts with a different approach. Late last year you had St.Johnstone taking 3 of us at Ibrox, yet a fortnight later we get a clean sheet at Parkhead. Both managers have a full week in which to prepare the game and you can imagine that Rodgers will get his players up for this and have a definate game plan. Will Murty ask for more of the same or will he tweak the approach somewhat ? This is a major test for GM and I'm especially glad he has Jimmy Nicholl in there with him for this game to help man-manage the players. The less we shout about optimism in the media, the better. Just let the football do the talking.

Given the two assaults on Bates in the last two games, both punished by yellow cards. I think it would be reasonable for the club to somehow publicly ask the question of the SFA wrt the rules, this week before the celtic game.

This past week against St.Johnstone and Falkirk gives good reason to wonder if the rules book has been re-written. - Assault on a Rangers player by kicking out or punching: Yellow Card .

We can certainly do with more potential quality. There seems to be quite a few decent youngsters around and we may have a decent team in 2/3 years.

Message to Mr.Murty: Substitutes are allowed

You can make arguments either way but I tend to think that the squad would be better for Cummings getting 90 minutes, for Morelos getting a break and that we can take Falkirk, regardless. However, I wouldn't argue against continuity if that's the way we go.

Certainly an opportunity to change things slightly what with the probable absence of Murray. Cummings hasn't really been able to get up to speed due to the lack of gametime, so I'd start him today, whether that be with Morelos or by himself. Alfredo could probably do with a rest.

To a degree, I think they were used and abused aswell. That's not a plea for mitigation or that I think their intentions were at all honourable.

When you consider a lot of the individuals and companies involved in 'robbing us blind', it was one disreputable and often dishonest bastard after another. Even the bloody NOMAD was at it ! If they don't start treating those caught at it like common criminals, they'll have very little reason not to stop.

First and one on my best Scottish Cup memories was the 3-2 win over Celtic in 1973. Wasn't at the game but it made a wee laddie very happy, none the less. We really should be making the semi-finals with a degree of comfort and I'm actually fairly confident we will and that's not something I say very often !! Windass needs to avoid a yellow card or he'd be suspended for a potential semi-final (same goes for Holt but I doubt he'll play).

A difference to this OF game is that on the face of it, it's more difficult to predict than any for over 6 years. We have to give it our best shot and see where that gets us.

I thought the Spanish league was done, maybe it is.....but tomorrow, an on-form Atletico Madrid visit Barcelona and if they were to win, would reduce the barca advantage to only 2 points. 15/4 for an Atletico win

Merge them into Dundee City

Have a go at the longer quiz of the year. I only got 36 from 55. https://rangers.co.uk/news/features/rangers-quiz-year-2017/

From the Murty video I saw, it didn't sound like he'll be stripped for the Falkirk game. I wouldn't take it for a given he'll be ready for the week after either, mibbes aye, mibbes naw. More that we want to keep them guessing. Good news to see Dorrans training with a ball. .

They have gone backwards this season and we at last are showing signs of clicking into gear and they can't credibly argue against that. However, that said, unless we win the game on the 11th, our current surge of optimism will hit a wall. Conversly, if we do win, it'll be like lifting a Cup or at least a monkey off the back. It won't be easy as you'd imagine they'll be up for it, but we are now a better team now and we need to show it.

Brought back the memories, emotions and all that ! One thing I'd not registered before was the quality of the pass from Ferguson out wide against the Geeks, from which followed the cross and eventual Novo goal.

Note the two managers to get vocal this week were coming off heavy defeats. Holloway: QPR 2-5 Notts Forest Wright: St.Johnstone 1-4 Rangers #deflection
