We returned to the top flight seven years ago. Out of a total of 21 trophies, we have won a grand total of 2.
What's your point? The 7 years prior to this season are irrelevant to what we can achieve this year.

No, losing two massive cup games
to Celtic and being behind in the league already means we haven’t done well domestically. Let’s hope for a change in fortunes moving forward.
That was last season for goodness sakes. It means nothing now. We need to look forward. We have a great chance to top of the league (or above them) on Sunday. That's our only focus.

Sunday is the first day of the week, so the scum game isn't 'this week'.

Some fans need to get a grip FFS. Sunday was always going to be the most important game of this week. Tonight was hugely disappointing but IMO they are a CL level team and we are a team in trying to find an identity. They were dramatically better than last year and have a hugely experienced coach. I get the rewards and status attached to the CL but is it worth getting spanked 6 times for a little bit more cash? Tonight was too soon for this team and it was always going to be.

Don't mind losing but collapsing like this isn't great ahead of Sunday.
I would say the opposite. My fear was that due to them drawing and getting turfed out of the cup we would be complacent. After tonight we have something to price IMO.

Doesn't sound like it's that different from last years game in Eindhoven tbh. The only difference being the goal.

Playing it out from the back all the time is nuts.
I can't see any way back into this.
Was it Souttar playing that Kamikaze ball prior to HT?

Not seen much of the game but regardless of how we've played we are still in the tie. Beale has amended the shape effectively in the last 2 CL games so hopefully he can do the same tonight. Oh and Liam McLeod is a d**k.

Can't watch the bloody game. Listening to fecking BBC Scotland. Any sausages...?

Just in from work and seen the team. Would have played Sima instead of Matondo. Sima to give us height in both boxes and Rabbi to use his pace when the game is stretched.
C'mon Rangers!!!

Whatever they are up to, it makes zero difference if we don't go out and beat them at home next weekend.

I've voted for Lundstram as he is playing every game with the bulk of fans already writing him off. Still think he has a big part to play this season as Jack can't play two games in a week IMO. He was good on Tuesday and really good today as he moved the ball quicker.

McLaughlin - Sell/Offer free
Davies - Sell
Devine - Loan out
Kamara - Sell *Looks like it's finally happening
McPake - Sell/Offer free
S Wright -Sell/Offer free
Contract Situations -
Lundstram, Barisic and Roofe last year of contracts. Need resolved so we aren't left with same nonsense again as Kent and Morelos. Personally i'd keep Roofe and try sell other 2 but think we've left it too late this window now. Beale speaks so highly about Borna and Lunny and i suspect will offer both new deals unfortunately.
Balogun and Jack in last year too but i'd definitely let them go.
Looking at the squad, there's not much there to make us money this window now. Hagi should have been an asset but us being us, you know how it goes. Not bothered at all about him going, would have preferred it to be permanent.
Strongest 11 (IMHO) -
Butland
Tavernier
Yilmaz
Souttar
Goldson
Raskin
Cifuentes
Cantwell
Lawrence
Roofe
Plus one other.
Second String (IMHO) -
McCrorie
Sterling
Barisic
King
Davies
Dowell
Jack
Lundstram
Matondo
Dessers
Danilo
Leaving Lammers, Sima, Kamara, S Wright, K Wright, McLaughlin, Devine and McPake surplus to requirements i'd say.
That's almost 30 players, it's too many imo. Then you have Lowrie, Budinauskas, McAusland, Fraser, Lyall, Yfeko, Allan, Hogarth and McKinnon all knocking on first team squad door in their early 20s or 19. They kids need to get out and play now. Proper football. Look what happened with Mayo.
Yet i still think we need at least 2 more bodies in. A forward type. And a centre back. Davies and Balogun don't do it for. And frankly neither do Dessers, Sima or Lammers. Matondo may end up being the one surprise this season if he gets a chance. And i'd really love Danilo to make it here. Huge outlay and came with big promise and expectation.
Harry Souttar names been linked and he'd be a great signing imo. Haven't really noticed anything else recently which is a bit disappointing.
Huge week coming up. Bisgrove should be a busy man.
Lammars surplus to requirements? He's played 3 league games. This must be the most over analysed Rangers squad in our history.

Sensible move for Hagi and Rangers. There is little chance of him playing in the role currently inhabited by Cantwell IMO. Hopefully he can get a full season under his belt in a very good league. He still has a lot to prove. Who knows what will happen when this season is over?

Easy win today. Just what we needed ahead of Wednesday. The first goal is the type that only Roofe can score, and what do you say about Tav's individual effort?? Maybe our Captain is going to have a great season and lead us to the title.
IMO Tav stated poorly last season also and then finished strongly.

Just another post script from Tuesday. We go into the 2nd leg on Wednesday having won every two legged tie since getting beat by Malmo. The irony being Malmo were .
nowhere near the level of the teams we went on to beat.
Dortmund
Red Star
Braga
Leipzig
Union SG.
PSV
In the meantime I believe the Tims haven't won a two legged tie in Europe in over 20 years.

Dear Rangers,
I'm a simple man with simple needs. I don't ask for much from my weekends. Maybe some quality time with the kids. A wee glass of red and nice food with the good lady. My football team not losing the first goal again. My football team not getting to half time after 45 minutes of goalless drudgery. My football team making the opposition keeper make saves. My football team not making me an anxious bag of nerves for 90 minutes on a Saturday. Can you kindly oblige with helping me enjoy the weekend?
Yours faithfully,
Black Socks Red Tops
