Me. I'm a woman's blouse. I'm uncomfortable gloating this early. It's too much like counting your chickens before they've hatched. I'd prefer to leave it all until season's end.

Damn you, alphabetical order!

Fewer points than expected, but incredibly, we have 3 maximums! Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): Stevie, One, WB91, BHB, TB, 26th and T-1000. FGS (2 pts): Rousseau, Yorkie, Bill, Devil, BHB, BD, Stew, TB, 26th and T-1000. Correct Score (3 pts): One, WB91, BHB, TB and 26th. BHB, TB and 26th take the maximum 7 points! Latest Standings:

Goldson is overrated. The other three defenders all scored.

I'm uncomfortable with this gloating. Lennon might go, and best case is they're just how they are now. They're still a danger. We're only 5 points ahead.

Salah was offside. Robertson clips the attacker, Referee misses it and VAR cleans it up. The Referee is made aware of the potential penalty and he goes across to view the screen, and makes the call. Soft? Maybe, but it's the Referee's call. VAR worked the way it was supposed to. What's the issue?

When?

Crystal Palace annoy me. Crystal Palace are one of those clubs that always show me up. Whenever I want them to lose, they win; whenever I want them to win, they lose. They get a lot of plaudits for taking points of better teams, but then... lose to Newcastle?!

I wish we'd stop tempting fate.

I actually hope not. ? I think we've suited having no fans.

Yes. He took too many risks -- or, at least a couple. As I said in the match thread, it's completely unnecessary; his normal game is more than adequate.

It's Man of the Match, not Man of the Season. Get it changed.

Rangers 1 - 0 Benfica FGS Morelos

I can't believe 11 of you are wrong...

Boring.

16 players I had to type in. Looking at them, such is the quality, I can't distinguish between first-team and squad players. That's incredible. Maybe Itten, but mainly because he's still new and the lads in front don't really deserve to be dropped. However, Itten can still be a starter now, and has started a couple to good effect.

What are your thoughts, folks? There wasn't a failure amongst them, but I thought a few had brief moments of magic then drifted out without being poor. Like Kent, who made a lively start, misses a one-on-one, scores a beauty then drifts out of it. Even Roofe pops up with moments of magic, then drifts out of it. Then again, their overall team contribution was superb. I thought players like Tavernier, Jack, Goldson and Arfield were the most effective and efficient throughout. Arfield was at the heart of everything, again: His work-rate is phenomenal, working hard in defense and closing down then bursting forward to support attacks. He topped off a good display with a goal, with a bit of luck. Arfield gets it, for me. It was another good, solid team performance, though, not dependent on any single player, which I find pleasing.

Comfortable. I'm very pleased, as it could easily have been a banana skin - and, we've not got the best record against them.

Quite low scoring, but we do have a maximum. Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): BHB, gaspard, FS and Franc. FGS (2 pts): BHB. Correct Score (3 pts): BHB, FS and Franc. BHB takes the maximum 7 points! Latest Standings:

We're just trying to over play it.

How many players did we have in the box, there!

This is p*sh, Rangers! 30 minutes without a goal.
