buster.

A 3-5-2 with Morelos and Colak up top would serve us well in that type of game.

Well done GVB,... but a lot of work to do to get to where we need to be.

GVB is who needs to come to the party. Changes re. System and personnel

Livi 16% possession, have looked the more likely to score. So far, toothless.

There is real ability in there and it wouldn't surprise me if he were to do very well with Dundee United. His corner kick/set-play delivery is excellent. #sell-on25%

Squad Average age Union SG: 24.0 Rangers: 27.4 Re. CL Qualifiers Alot depends on the new lads bedding in and contributing from the off, especially last third.

Scottish co-efficient might be in for a relatively bad time of it this season. Motherwell are convincingly beaten by a midtable Irish side, home and away. Next up, Dundee Utd against AZ Alkmaar...... No, me neither. Then you have Celtic in a CL group*, they are going to get little to nowt. That leaves Hearts and us. Both to get group stage football. If we get what we want (money and CL*), it will be very difficult. Hearts will be doing well to be competitive and pick up anything. * CLGS qualification does come with a 4pt. co-eff. bonus (equivalent to 2 wins) ------------------------ The Motherwell result is flagged up as a surprise, it isn't. Have a look back at our provincial sides in Europe this past decade or so. Ron Gordon may have the right ambition but the truth is that he can't run his own football club in a professional manner. He needs to look closer to home first and get a handle on the day to day of the Scottish game, a depressing reallity........ He is right that things need to change but that would need to start with changing things from the top.

I think we are underselling it but yes, there are many issues to address. The fundamental is (lack of) leadership at executive level and a business structure that doesn't work.

If you are underselling your current product, then there is room to improve benefits with same product. Thereafter, yes.

Emotional blind loyalty allows most football clubs to remain distant from cutting edge customer service. One thing social media has shown up is the same or very similar complaints to arise repeatedly, then lip service and promises. They aren't fully addressed and it starts again.

A lot of ground to make up. Scottish provincial clubs in Europe are on a par with those from the likes of Lithuania and Malta. First up this season Motherwell 0 Sligo Rovers 1

Kiev beat Fenerbache in Turkey after extra time and go through to play Sturm Graz. So, the winner of our tie can get drawn against winners of the following ties in the Play-Off Round: Monaco v PSV......or........Dynamo Kiev v Sturm Graz We've played all 4 in European competition PSV, 3 times (2 successful 78 & 99) and we remain undefeated against them in the 3 away legs played thus far. Sturm Graz and Monaco once, in the same CL group (2000) We put Dynamo Kiev (under Russian flag) out of the 1987/88 European Cup and this would be the first time we've played Ukrainian opposition, being the 43rd nation faced in Europe (according to wiki).

Livingston 1 Rangers 2 Lawrence

Rumours out there suggest that Frankie has negotiated a deal with money up front and that this was 'coincidently' followed by him booking up a trip to Turkey for hair implants (on top).

AEK Larnca have bitten the dust, beaten on penalties by the Danes, who will now probably go out to Benfica. It doesn't matter regards to potential play off round opponents for the winner of our tie. It can only come from one of the other two ties, not involving Benfica. Tomorrow will see five potential opponents become four. Kiev or Fenerbache will go out.

I'll be happy enough if the new lad were to win eight major honours with Rangers, including 3 league titles and play in a European final.

You inspired them with your negative waves, man !😄 Considered Prodan/Steaua but that was a bad memory (late winner) combined with a lack of memory (Prodan game time in blue)....Count yourself lucky.

We'll find out in the coming months. The problem was always going to be having things done and new players up to speed for the CL qualifiers. A next to impossible ask if you don't get the right offers for your own players at the very start of the window. Fingers crossed rather than confident.

Otherwise known as being Levskied !

Is it not more surprising that Gilmour has signed it ?

Looks like a young Sasa Papac. Here is hoping he can at least do as well as SP.

So are "minor" football message boards...... But don't tell Bill !

Sounds familiar, .... Ready for next game, isn't Ready to play part in West Ham game, isn't Out for a few weeks Big blow for the lad. Just when he needed a good start to the season. Thanks Frankie !

After such a protracted and expensive struggle to get retail/merchandise back from Mr.MASH. It certainly isn't being fully taken advantage of and supporter goodwill to the Castore approach is understandably low. Entirely predictable I think a decision was taken to add incentives (mygers) to the "blind loyalty" just to make sure there would be a continued / higher level of take-up/sales over many different revenue streams. Ie. In many areas of 'service', rhetoric and lip service is as far as they actually intend to go. As for Bisgrove, if he is hitting his targets, the targets aren't interested in what the supporter thinks.

It is one thing some saying that James Bisgrove/Rangers commerce..... is doing an excellent job. How important to fans, is that part of the excellence would appear to be making deals that end up treating the support like shit. From merchandise to catering and a whole load of stuff in between. Promised improvements rarely materialise. Football supporters and their loyalty have generally been taken advantage, ie. it is obviously not exclusive to Rangers. Nor is say, relatively poor catering anything new. But the improvement in the commercial for the club is partly down to squeezing the support with as little as possible in return. The creation of MyGers seemed to me like a dubious scheme to eliminate the thought process in the pursuit of sales accross the board. It is a competitive world,... but it is one thing offering a degree of value and another, when it is so often ripping the pish. If that is just business, are the support just clients? Is it that the majority of the support understand the financial need of the club and are happy, or at least accept the situation ? Should the club start giving a little bit back in terms of value and better service, etc?
