Let's not forget the opposition fans of the teams we play are also getting short changed.

Great blog. My only negative comment would be is that I'm not a fan of the Sevco section. I know how unhinged they are when it comes to Rangers but I don't really want to hear about them on a Rangers podcast. It just seems odd to highlight them being obsessed and then spend time talking about them on a Rangers podcast. Maybe it's just me?

Correct but it would be folly to expect them to misfire for too much longer

I think the difference is they seem to have tricky players like McGregor, Ntchan, Forrest and Rogic that will create things out of nothing. I would say that is the where we are slightly lacking but I hope Grezda/Middleton/Kent/Ejaria can be our wild cards. Saying that we have a better back 4/5. I suppose it's about balance

100% agreed. One game at a time for me. Just keep drumming into the players the importance of winning. If we do that, the rest will look after itself.

Some get so stressed about it? Ok then... a Rangers player gets sent off in a crucial game due to a player feigning injury and it in turn hinders us from winning and claiming 3pts. This in turn loses us the league. Would you be cool about it?

Once again file under "taking one for the team". If the actual teams were punished by the actions of their own players cheating, it would stop in a heartbeat

Maybe but I bet players would stop. Yellow cards don't have consequence and it would be described as "taking one for the team"

Great post John. I could not agree more. It perfectly captures the "wee blue devil" and the artistry that embodied that era of football,

It is one of most horrible aspects about modern football. My cure for this particular illness is simple. Don't ban or fine the offending player. Players can be replaced and have enough money to not have to worry about fines. The only way to stop this to dock the players team points. Imagine the reaction from the fans, fellow players and manager if their pathetic actions prevented them gaining 3pts. 3pts that could be the difference between winning and losing a league or a cup or getting relegated. If that was the case they would soon think twice about cheating. Simples

Does anyone use the image based app Pinterest? I use it a lot for work and they some amazing Rangers stuff on there. Here's a wee collection of stuff I found on there. Please feel free to move to another thread for media (if there is one?)

Nice to see a pipe band at Ibrox again. I love pipes before games. Reminds me of some of my early Hampden matches back in the day.

I get that feeling to tbh (with regards to Rodgers). It would be funny because if he was the one that dropped the ball with the 10 in a row thing, I'm sure the double treble success would be a distant memory. You are as only as good as your last game I suppose

As much as I am pleased to see Celtic dropping points, let's pump on the brakes. 6 matches have been played and I for one won't be penning their obituary just yet. They will get stronger (they can't get worse, can they...?) and if this malaise continues they will have to spend money in January. Their fans will demand it, especially on the back of some triumphant balanced sheets and the sale of Dembele for £20 million. Let's forget what they are doing (or not doing) and take it one game at a time. We've managed to claw back the points we effectively dropped away to Aberdeen/Motherwell/Them and for the first time in ages are above them. Let's just keep the momentum going with another win at Livingston next week as IMO momentum plays a massive part in winning leagues.

TBH I've not listened to much of SSB of late so I was just basing it on todays output. Keevins never let up about how average celtic have been and how poor their transfers have been.

Hate to go against the grain but I heard it in the car and actually thought Wilson and Keevins were very fair and were complimentary about how we played. They were also very positive about our summer transfers and how we are progressing whilst stating the opposite about the Tims. I also think Gordan Duncan does a decent job considering he is no win situation.

Did he take his wife and kids to LA?

I would take a 1-0 right now. I would go as far as to say I would take 1-0 wins in all 6 of our post Europa Cup games

“I have been lucky – lucky in those who were around me from the boardroom to the dressing-room. In time of stress, their unstinted support, unbroken devotion to our club and calmness in adversity eased the task of making Rangers FC the premier club in this country. “To be a Ranger is to sense the sacred trust of upholding all that such a name means in this shrine of football. They must be true in their conception of what the Ibrox tradition seeks from them. No true Ranger has ever failed in the tradition set him. “Our very success, gained you will agree by skill, will draw more people than ever to see it. And that will benefit many more clubs than Rangers. Let the others come after us. We welcome the chase. It is healthy for us. We will never hide from it. Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. “No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers.” We should play an audio of this before every home game on the loudspeakers. Will make the hairs on your neck stand up

They are friggin shameless. The overall narrative regarding our game was to focus on our shortcomings. Let's not dwell on the fact that a team from Scotland got a credible draw against a team that finished 5th in La Liga (by far the most successful league in European football over the last decade). No no, let's talk about how we should have got hammered. How Villareal had players missing blah blah f*cking blah

I wouldn't change too much tbh. Alfredo Morelos in for Laff, McCrorie in for the injured Jack. I think we need points on the board. Get the game won first and foremost then we can maybe look at giving Middleton and Grezda more match time.

I must admit that I had a little chuckle when I looked at the main BBC sport site last night. The main sports/football story was Steven Gerrard's Rangers fighting draw in Spain. PQ must have been beeling

Cheers buddy. It was a bold move but fortune favours the brave and all that
