I said it earlier in the summer and it might be controversial but we should have openly touted the sale of Butland in the summer. His sale could potentially bring in 10-15 million and that combined with player sales would have help fund our much needed rebuild. Butlands a great goalie (not as good as some people make out though...) but we have bigger issues in front of him to fix. Kelly would be good enough for the SPL and with better players in front of him.

Something fishy about the whole Danilo thing. Could there be a part of his deal related to appearances in competitive games? It's strange that he was fit enough for a pre season game but hasn't featured in any competitive games yet ( I think).

Both were poor but I would have started with Cerny after Saturday. Are we the only team that is micro managing minutes from every player. In all my time watching Rangers, I cannot recall ever hearing so much about fitness and players being ready. Just friggin play them.

Disappointment all round. The refs decision obviously had a massive impact on the game but our play confuses me. It seems we resorted to funneling the ball wide and hitting long hopeful crosses into from deep areas to one striker. We have seen this movie before with Tav & Borna from 2 seasons ago. We also need to end this number 10 nonsense. We need a player with guile, pace, energy and goals & assists. Lawrence is none of these things. Get Sterling in the middle as a 6 and shove the two 8's forward. On top of all that Ridvan looks like he's out (again), Jefte will be suspended for future UEFA games and Hampden is a problem.

Miffed at the fans moaning about his poor touch.

Cerny on.

Agree about his fitness. Hopefully he can give us 45 mins.

I get that but ultimately his overall quality and decision making are piss poor IMO. Cerny on for me.

Tav pulling the trigger too soon for me.

Big Propper looks composed

Cerny needs to be starting. Always start with your strongest team.

Agreed but the risk attached to his sloppy play is higher due to high position (and lack of pace)

Not surprised in the slightest. Hampden is terrible place to watch football.

So many of our issues are instigated by Tav misplacing simple passes.

I know he's young but McCausland is a poor player IMO.

A wee general point...I get that many fans are disappointed by the pre-season developments as well as the last 3 years chaotic title challenges but can we start to show some patience? This continual and almost daily bi-polar reaction to everything Rangers is baffling for someone in their 50's. I fully understand that is the way the world works these days but let's all calm down. Let the manager build HIS team and do his job.

Stupidity more like

Why?

Didn't Hearts sign a guy at 11 o'clock on Saturday and he then made the bench against us.

Staggering

Agree 100%. Generally technically gifted and on cheap wages. Win win in my book.

I'd make Propper the captain now. Tav is miles away at the moment.

So does our future transfer business hinge on how we solve the Hagi/Cantwell conundrum? Two players on hefty wages with some sell on value, sitting doing nowt.

Agree 100%. As much as this is disappointing, I'm not surprised. You could not pay me to go to Rangers away game these days. My last away day was at Easter Road during Gerrards time. I met an old mate from Edinburgh. I was excited to see my team but after listening to 40 minutes of shite about Bobby Sands, I'd had enough. I genuinely love my team but why would I want to spend my hard earned cash standing beside guys that are so filled with hatred and aggression. Hearing a replay of the Bobby Sands shite during our recent friendly vs Berlin was beyond depressing to say the least.

I get that but he was carrying an injury so hopefully he'll be available soon. His inclusion in the first Euro squad suggests that this may be the case as we can make changes further down the line.
