GPL Predictions Bluebear54's GPL 2023/24: Rangers vs Hearts

Sima for me. Work tirelessly in a different position. Butland was good but did what every Rangers goalie should be doing as the bare minimum.

Match Thread [FT] Sparta Prague 0 - 0 Rangers

Just wanted to add a wee comment about the opposition last night. Despite us playing ourselves into trouble a few times, I thought Sparta were half decent and will present a tough match at Ibrox IMO. It's also worth noting that they average 2.5 goals per game in the Czech league and did hammer Dinamo Zagreb 4-1 at home in the play offs. I still think we can beat them but it won't be easy. Oh and that lad Birmančević looked decent. I was wondering where I had seen him before? Some digging and later I discovered the Serbian played for Malmo when the beat us at Ibrox. He's currently a Toulouse player on loan at Sparta. -

It's easier to get rid of a manager that's underperforming than players on 3/4 year deals who are not cutting it. -

I might take pelters for this but here goes...Butland was great last night but did he do anything that's not expected from our goalkeeper? The bulk of the shots were close to him or directly at him. If you cast your mind back to the last time we faced Sparta in Prague, Macgregor pulled off a genuine world class save amongst a raft of top class stops in our 1-0 defeat. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy Butland is there as he is an assured and commanding figure but I wouldn't expect anything less from a Rangers goalie. -

A lot to process from tonight's performance but ultimately we secured a valuable point at a ground where we have previously known defeat. For me it was a carbon copy of the 21/22 fixture with our goalie having to keep us competitive in the game due to some calamitous defending and poor ball retention. Hopefully we have given ourselves a fighting chance of qualification with back to back home games coming up. Much for Clement to ponder and my hope is that he's learned more from tonight than he did from Saturdays win over Hibs. Onto to Sunday! -

I disagree Frankie. I think that performance showed a sense of unity and togetherness that's been missing IMO. -

Be interesting to see how the atmosphere unfolds. Listening to that Czech journalist the other day talking about the united hatred for Rangers in the Czech Republic was strange. Hatred based on the fact that we called them out as racists and then were fully vindicated when kids were targeting our black players. -

Not quite sure if he's best mates with Mutton? -

Calm down. Barasic, Ridvan, Sterling. Roofe, Matondo and Lawrence missing. All would feature or be on bench. -

Hyperbolic as per usual. We have 2 very winnable home games after this therefore a draw would not be the end of the world. A draw also prevents Sparta from pulling away from us and Aris won't pick up many more IMO. We should be going out to win but if we came back with a draw I would be pretty chuffed to be honest. -

Hard game IMO. It will be hostile over there due to both Prague teams general hatred of Rangers. I would take a draw right now to be honest to ensure Sparta don't gain any ground on us in the section. Like Saturday, I am looking for a general increase in tempo, desire and physicality. -
It's nice to see that it wasn't Jack Butland again. The fact that he has been in the conversation for MOTM in so many "standard" SPFL games was damning to be honest.

I get the feeling we will be typing these words a lot over the next few weeks (in relation to several players).
