Aberdeen and Celtic players break Covid quarantine rules

That's genuinely weird. -
The remarkable coefficient stat that no one is talking about
BlackSocksRedTops replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I don't get the final line? There's not a chance in hell of us coming on 3rd so it's irrelevant. Conversely I hope this doesn't send a signal to the players that 2nd place has got "value". This year is about winning the league. Whatever European doors that opens up is a bonus -

Agree but if we are talking about the teams shortcomings, I genuinely feel Tav is fast becoming the elephant in the room. He's undroppable but his defending is more than suspect and his poor decision making and passing often lead to us losing possession. Apart from that he's ok...??? -

Not really that bothered that we are out but slightly disappointed at our poor ball retention. Morelos looks way off the pace at the moment. Plus points for me were big Connor Goldson and to a lesser degree Helander. Goldson is more captain material than Tav IMO -

How many goals has he scored on 2020? I know we've had the big break but it can't be many tbh -

Not really changed for us. We still need to score 3 goals ???? -

I was thinking of most recent games as opposed to just tonight. He surrenders possession too easily for me -

I hate to single him out but as we bring in more quality to the squad, it seems evident to me that Tav is a bit of a weak link. He stood out in a team of mediocre players but IMO his distribution and defending have been poor -

TBH I'll be looking out for a good performance tomorrow before any chance of us scoring 3 goals. As long as we keep building on the start we've made to the season and put in a good show I'll be happy. Saying that...you never know -

Ignore that. Just read about the registration rules. Doh! -

I'm presuming Itten and Roofe are not available? Itten has been playing all through July and has 7/8 goals? -
Couldn't agree more. Just go for it from the bloody get go. No use signing attacking options and then starting the game with the hand break on.

Not sure what the answers are but one thing that always stands out in these tight games for me is tempo. We start many of these games simply expecting to score and the tempo looks pedestrian. If I was a football manager I would be asking my teams to go and win all games in the first 45 minutes. Make it count and up the tempo. Look at Liverpool. They generally batter teams in the first 45 minutes and by half time the game is all but done. I hate the fact that we get to break in so many games level at 0-0. It puts so much pressure on the players in the 2nd half

It would be exciting either way IMO. I called it a 4-2-4 simply because their "front" 4 were called the fab 4 back in the day
