I get what you mean but he hasn’t come from schools or junior football or even the B team. He cost a lot of money so you would expect to see something in his play to show why he’s worth the price.
Time will tell because I don’t think he’ll be sold this time round.
The large outlay on him for him not to play is baffling but ultimately I can't make any judgement on him based on the scraps he's been thrown this season.

I think Tav has shot his bolt.
Yilmaz has shown absolutely nothing. Sell him pretending to buyers he’s a great player, just hasn’t settled in Glasgow.
Raskin and Cantwell have to be kept, at least for now but consistent, productive performances needed.
Yilmaz has shown nothing? Can I ask what you are basing this on? Surely not a collection of appearances in the third (rate) trophy and a few league cameos. He's literally had no go time to make such an assessment.

But football is a result driven business. We are further behind. Look at the league table. They've beaten us in both domestic cups and are strolling to yet another treble.
We continue to gift them points and trophies. At no point today did I think we'd go on and win the game, they have our number.
They pressed us until we made a mistake, punished us and then just saw the game out. They are more streetwise than us.
It doesn't matter if their beating us 1-0 or 5-0 the undeniable fact is they continue to beat us with no evidence that we can stop them.
Did you at any point today, during the 90mins, feel our players could have won us the game?
We are defensively weak and our front 3 continue to make the wrong decisions. Our midfield were actually OK today, but created very little.
Huge changed required, but that won't happen overnight. All we have to look forward to is "nearly" beating them and them stacking up trophy after trophy.
I get that football is results driven business but if GVB was still our manager the gap would be far bigger.

We have fallen further behind them since Beale took over. A solitary draw at Ibrox and then lost the rest including a cup final and now semi-final. Basically, we haven't laid a glove on them.
Beale needs to sign players with the mentality to play for Rangers. I've defended Tav, Borna et al, but we need an entire new back 5, a new midfield and new strikers. On otherwards a new team.
I can't agree. Since Beale has come in, all 4 OF games have been closely fought out. No capitulations but ultimately our fate has been self inflicted IMO. An abundance of silly mistakes and missed opportunities. I think most observers would agree that we deserved something from most of these games.

It's safe to say that Sakala has proven that he is not good enough. He has enthusiasm, energy and pace but he is just not clinical enough when we need him to be.

Cantwell played well IMO.

No strikers of any quality. No goals. Our biggest threat I the last 2 OF games has been Tavernier. Says it all really.

We are effectively playing with 10 when Morelos is on the pitch. And how many of their goals over the last 6/7 OF games have we gifted them?

Staggered to see on here that a few consider Jack should stay. I like Jack a lot but any thoughts of us overtaking the Tims should not involve a guy that is injured as much as he plays.

Had a look at bbc online to see how Buckie Thistle got on against Brechin.
Anyone a little bit upset by the Premiership results today will be cheered by a headline that the current leaders are two wins from the title.
Imagine a different scenario “Rangers stumble in title run in”?
Thistle lost btw. Last day bottlers. It’s traditional.
I checked the BBC website just before HT whilst doing a bit of gardening. With them being 1-0 up I fully expected an avalanche of goals. I then checked back at 5 o'clock and to my surprise there was literally no mention of their game in the headlines. I knew right away it must be down to them drawing or getting beat. They are so pathetically predictable.

True, though. Moyes is not the worst option of the range of available managers with some sort of pedigree. I don’t think Potter would get the time he would need to improve the team and he would cost more than Rangers would pay. Having said that, some managers can bring about immediate change and even success.
Talk of changing managers at the moment is insane.

A team with a few notches up in quality would have destroyed them yesterday. We just need to find players that can increase our quality levels and have a direct impact on the first XI. Easier said than done mind...
IMO we have been playing with a dysfunctional strike force for too long. Morelos' physical and mental condition impacts his effectiveness greatly. Colak has lost any momentum gained during the initial part of the season and is somewhat one dimensional. Sakala is hit and miss (more miss IMO).

I don't think our playing from the back was good enough today and was always going to cause a problem. It's a risky strategy at best but we played ourselves into trouble too many times today.

Just watched the highlights. Their defender definitely heads the ball off the other defenders arm before Morelos takes his shot.

Not to dwell on VAR or individual moments but when Alfie had the shot at the start of the 2nd half it looked to me as if the Celtic defender headed it against the arm of the other defender. Has anyone else seen a replay of this?

Big worry has to be Morelos gets sent off
More worried about his fitness, attitude, application and lack of goals at the moment tbh

God knows why but I have a feeling in my water/gut that we will get a result today. ie A win. The odds suggest that we need to actually turn up at their ground at some stage as we have been posted missing on 2 of the last 3 occasions. For that to happen we need the right team selection and key players to turn up (Kent, Tillman, Tav, Cantwell, Sakala. whoever...)

Surely Beale must have the best win ratio for any new Rangers manager in a long, long time? 15 league games, 14 wins, 1 draw.

Sloppy but another3 points. 14 wins and a draw (which should have been a win) from 15 league games is not bad for a new manager coming in during a season.

Would like more contributions from our midfield in the goals dept.

As a matter of interest, what theologically challenged bastard scheduled M/well v Rangers at the same time as SCO v ITA at Murrayfield?
Possibly the same person that scheduled the LC final at the same time as France game.🤨

Wait? Are the semis not at Hampdump?

Apart from the sloppy goal we lost, I thought the game was almost a carbon copy of our recent Tynecastle victory. Lots of slick passing and moving, lots of chances created but not enough them converted. That could and should have been 7 or 8 tonight.
