Sounded to me like he may start on Sunday

Agreed. I would also consider bringing in Souttar on the right side of the central defence. That would enable us to give Goldson a rest whilst seeing how Souttar and Davies operate. 

Lundstram for me. A few misplaced passes aside I thought his drive and energy were really good. Davies, Butland, Roofe had good games also.

We need to learn how to use his pace to better effect. We’re not always doing that at present 

I feel he got his shot away too early last night. He could have carried it another few yards the picked his corner.

I thought we did well tonight. We had a lot of players with bursts of good moments. If only we could bring them altogether to make a full 90 minutes.

Rangers 1 Betis 1

FGS Tav

Wouldn’t be surprised if Roofe and Lawrence didn’t start and were saved for the weekend. 2 games a week might be a bit much for them right now.

We can't start with Jack, Lunny and Cifu.

That's a team designed to be slow and turgid. Where's the pace coming from? 

Dessers? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's slow and turgid as I feel that's what we might need to be against this team.

Enter Bailey Rice...?

Interesting to see Copenhagen winning 2-0 away to Galatasaray in the CL. I wonder what their budget is compared to ours. 

Anyhow...here's my team for Thursday for what it's worth.

Doubt it will happen but God knows we need a reboot/refresh. Our football is slow and turgid. 3 at the back offers more security IMO

Tough game for Dortmund playing against PSG and PSV.  

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My god. That sums my interest in the CL after we got turfed out! 

Feyernoord 1 up now but look piss poor compared the PSV team we played a few weeks back 

On a side note, PSV are drawing with Dortmund at the moment. From what I've seen of the Tims game, Feyernoord look awful.

Forget all the fannying about forget all this XG stuff just get the sleeves rolled up and get tuck in and the results will come Mon the gers 

Cue Rousseau....

That's a foul on the Dundee player. Turnbull is not in control of the ball and makes contact with the Dundee player.

I love the Bobby Sands add-on.  Always makes me smile and I sing it with real gusto when I'm at the match.  

 

He's deid!  🙂

I wish they had to pay for a ticket for that god-awful drum. Moderately priced at £200.00 a match - per half.

To be honest, I would choose the sound of those drums over the non stop dirge about Bobby Sands anyday of the week. That stuff is embarrassing.

Taxi duties for me today getting kids from here and there so have missed everything. Doesn't sound like I've missed much to be honest. The guy on the BBC just said "Rangers still look dangerous on the break..." Eh? 55 mins in and are we sitting back on a 1 goal lead?

Lundstram dropping into a back 3, Tav and Ridvan bombing forward, Raskin and Lawrence buzzing in midfield, Lammars acting as the pivot, Roofe and Danilo as the twin spearheads. What could possibly go wrong? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another game, another line up. Hopefully this one sticks..

St Johnstone 0 Rangers 3

FGS Lawrence

The only way forward for young Rice is if he gets a regular game or else he would be better elsewhere 

Jeso. Give him time. Is he not only 16 years old? 

Some England players are simply on a different level. There is a reason Kane, Bellingham, Walker and Foden play for elite clubs in Europe. No great shame in losing to a team that has that much quality.

Its not just the actual training, its the recovery and medical facilities. IIRC we have a cryro chamber at the training centre to help with post training recovery.

I presume we are not just giving them it for nothing....💰

I would normally agree but I'm not looking forward to the match at St Johnstone. We've had a few slip ups there recently. 

Can't say I've ever enjoyed us going to McDairmad Park. Much like Rugby Park, games always seem to be turgid affairs.
