Is that genuine?

It's early days but the scouting team need a mention. In normal circumstances we would not be able to afford Aribo but the we've assessed it and have taken advantage of the contract situation. We need to box clever in the market and this is a great example of how we are progressing on that front.

If you are referring to the 87 match, did we not beat Gornik 4-2 on aggregate? We also played Katowice after that in the old UEFA cup (88-89 season) and gubbed them to

Barca V Steau Bucharest in the mid 80's was murder to. The Romanians did not cross the halfway line in the whole game

As much as Jones has impressed I think we need to hit the brakes. He's played a few games and looked good but let's judge him after a good run of games, not 2 or 3. Last season there was talk of bids for Coulibaly based on a few games and look how that turned out. I'm not being negative just realistic. Form should be measured on a half a season/full season not a couple of games.

I thought the same last night tbh. Might be the first time I wouldn't mind them winning if it means them having the same schedule as us (If we make it, of course)

Broonie at fault for their first 2 goals. Shame. If we can win the midfield battle in the forthcoming OF game, we can murder that defence IMO

I think we will start to see the difference between Rodgers and Lennon being at the helm. Rodgers got skelped continuously in Europe but the fans were willing to give him slack because he was a "top drawer" manager. You get the impression that wee Lenny is a few games away from them jumping down his throat. Happy days

In fairness to the Tims, Cluj have played 28 Champions League games/qualifiers over the last decade and have won 13 games, drawing 5. That surely a better record than the Tims? Why were they regarded as clear favourites?

No Clough? Won the league with 2 sides outside the regular top performers and won 2 European cups into the bargain On a side note it's amazing to think that no English manager has ever won the Premiership.

Well played Gers. Did this team not beat Man Utd a few years ago? Or am I losing it?

Just basing it from what I've seen (about 75%). So was the other 25% remarkable then?

Cool. I've got family over so I m dipping in and out of the game

Has Jones actually got past the full back yet? Very pedestrian so far from us.

Either way it was stupid behaviour and now it's headlines that could have been easily avoided if they had just stayed in the stand. This cult of "look at me, I'm an uber fan" is silly. You're not an uber fan. You are just an idiot

Is that true about the disabled shelter? FFS you have to wonder about some people

Let's calm down. Is it the current way of the world that everything has to be so reactionary and judged a game by game basis? It's game day 1. We got 3pts. This time last year we played great with 10 men and came away with 1pt. Performances will get better. Let's keep putting points on the board and make sure we are not chasing the Tims when the turn up at Ibrox.

He could be useful but for me he's not a starter. Not unless we have an agreement that he has to feature whilst on loan? If that's the case forget it. We should be concentrating on our own players

Agreed. Seemed like all 3 midfielders were operating in the same space. Get him forward as he looks lively.

Echoes of last season. No one getting in behind or hitting the dead ball line. Too many aimless crosses

Need another goal or this has 1-1 written all over it. Not convinced by Ojo. Don't think we can afford to carry a player with "potential" and hope he comes good occasionally.

Good point

Fair enough. Would like to have seen Jones today tbh. Would have loads to prove against Killie and is used to their dodgy pitch

We also have doubled up with Tav/Candieas and LB/ Kent. Is Arfield going wide? Confused

Is it me or is that team quite narrow? Are we expecting the full backs to provide all the width? Maybe through the middle is the answer? Let's try some shots today please! C'mon Rangers!! Points first, performance second.
