What will be our centre back pairing?
I assume it is too early for Goldson? Will Soutar be risked on Rugby Park's drastic plastic? Balogun was down twice against the Greeks and, received treatment. Could it be Lundstram and Balogun?
I am beginning to worry our defence might resemble a sieve at the start of this coming season.
Could we go with a 3 on Saturday for extra protection? Balogun, Souttar and maybe Lundstram stepping in. Might also help the FB's.

Perfect Saturday evening wishlist...
1. Rangers win.
2. New players contribute/score.
3. We keep a clean sheet.
4. No-one gets injured.
5. Bottle of 19 Crimes Cab Sauv.
I've already got one sorted, now it's up to you Ranger's...

This worries me. I think most fans would have a similar opinion but I hate going into any games with the notion that one team would be an easier opponent than the other.

Surely we must be looking at getting shot of Roofe he’s of no use to man nor beast being injured most of the time
Easier said than done with his injury record.

He is not an asset.
He is a liability.
Your basing that on opinion of his football skills. Every player under contract is an asset and has sell on potential whether you rate them or not.

Noticeable how few fancy Sima in their starting line up.
I don't think many were expecting him to start in our preferred XI but the season is long and we will need a good squad. He could also turn out to be a good sub option as our bench last season was generally very weak. He's pacey and that could factor into games after the 65/70 minute threshold.

Probably for the same reason a painting by Matisse sells for £15m .... purely because someone thinks that's what it's worth.
But the Matisse actually sells. Is this not based speculation and "market values".

It's not about the money.
It's about getting rid of Sakala.
It should be about the money. He is our asset (who is under contract), therefore we should be getting the highest price possible for him.

My starting XI would be...
--------Butland---------
---Souttar---Balogun---
Tav--------------Ridvan

Considering Jota went for over 20 million I would holding out for at least 6/7 million from a Saudi club.

Interesting to note that Dessers didn't make anyone's starting XI...

Too early...?
Have a mixed cocktail of nerves/trepidation/excitement and its only Tuesday. Feckin hate pre-season with avengeance!
Who will start? Who's fit? After pre-season we seem to be in the land of Johnny Nash with "More questions than answers..."
PS. Mods please feel free to sparkle your collective goldust on this most basic of threads with appropriate titles etc...

Even then. I said this last season, I said it every time folk criticised Kent for not scoring enough.
Absolutely he didn't score enough but folk did not make any allowance for the work he did pressing and defending.
I think we will need to play dowel out there to compensate.
I see Kent scored on his competitive debut for Fenerbache in 5-0 Europa Conference League romp. I also read that they might loan him out as they are buying more wide players. Not sure about the truth of the latter...I think it came from the Turkish equivalent of the Daily Record...

Saw a few pics regarding the stadium design and Leitch etc. Most of the other images have focused on the shop as opposed to the actual museum.

Ideally, we qualify for the CL, finish third and go into the EL knockout rounds.
We got a really tough CL group draw last year - there are teams in the CL we can compete with and we won't have GvB's dismal attitude this time (admitting we can't compete at that level after one match was utterly pathetic).
That would be a good option. We genuinely need the luck of the draw when it comes to the CL.

The problem with our "Full Backs" is that they are too often playing infield and getting beaten by balls over the top too easily.
Stop this IMO.
It's a hard one tbh. I noticed that Liverpool have suffered defensively over the last few seasons with teams playing quick balls beyond their attacking full backs.

Two targets for the season: win the league and qualify for the Champions League group stage.
We need things to fall into place very quickly for that to happen.
As ever the domestic cups are of no importance. Playing in the Europa League group stage should be considered a failure.
I don't agree regarding Europe. Simply qualifying for the CL with the prospect of getting 6 doings (22/23) does nothing for me. Give me the Europa League and potential winnable games any day (21/22). Call me defeatist if you may but I'd rather be realistic about where we are.

Rangers should always prioritise the league therefore that must be our primary goal this season. A league win followed by some stability, foundations and foresight to learn from 55 would also be preferable.
With regards to Europe, it has to be the Europa League for me. The CL is out of our reach at the moment and I fear regular goings over are more detrimental in the grand scheme of things. Going toe to toe with teams that we can beat will help build more confidence and momentum.
Cups...I genuinely couldn't care less about the cups unless they are welded onto a league win. I get the overall trophy haul thing with the Tims but FFS St. Johnstone won two cups in a year.

Not that Wright.
This is the young 'keeper, Kieran Wright.
Actually, he's 24! WTF is he still doing here? Maybe just fulfilling the Andy Firth role now? The back-up's back-up.
Doh!

C'mon John Lundstram. Prove your worth.
