Sadly, I feel that Tav has run his race and even more depressingly that will be exposed for all to see tomorrow. Go on skipper, prove me wrong.

Forgot about Rabbi and McCausland!

Now that the transfer window has closed, what are posters opinions of our potential strongest starting XI (dependant on everybody being fit) Here's my tuppence worth... ----------Buttland--------- ---Kasanwirjo---Propper-- Sterling---------------Jefte ----Barron---Diomande---- -----------Bajrami--------- Cerny---------------Cortes -----------Dessers-------- Subs: Tav, Raskin, Lawrence, Danilo, Ridvan, Souttar, Balogun, Igamane, Hagi, Fraser.

I think Rousseau said as much...I think the versatility of our two new purchases could be a huge positive.

I thought that's what his social media post was hinting at last week? If he can come back in, I presume that would mean Bajrami, Lawrence, Hagi, Dio and Lowry as the possible number 10s in our squad.

We have to use him. Bajrami, Lawrence and Hagi in the 10 position.

Just watched the Big Dutch guy on YouTube (I know...) but he looks like a very athletic and substantial unit that can certainly motor. I'm happy with what I've seen as we need more physicality IMO. With that in mind....I genuinely hope the Moroccan lad can get within touching distance of the first team as he also looks like a unit and a half.

Would love us to bring in an old head on loan to compliment the younger players.

Just another please. Maybe a six...

Agree. What we do this year will not depend on Jack Butland being here or not. And he's been ropey recently....🤣🤣🤣

I've just read that we are getting 600k for Cantwell. Is that a permanent deal? If it is, that is shocking considering the Tims are looking to get over 3 million for Mickey Johnston. He's been nowhere near their first team.

Apparently he's a top Giza... I'll get my coat...

Any updates on the Egyptian guy? And what is this talk of Cantwells contract being terminated? Is it just paper guff?

I can't see the team deviating to much from yesterday. Propper will probably come in at CB (based on PC's presser) and then Diamonde will start. I also think if we bring in new players, you won't see them in this game. That's not Clements style. As much as we've been inferior in these games over the last few seasons, I also feel we have also been unlucky. We've had goals disallowed for very little and decisions go against us. Most of which would have significantly impacted the scores (and mood) of these games IMO. According to Timothy, they just need to turn up and start counting the goals. Complacency from them could be an advantage for us. Even a draw would shatter their entitled mind set.

Even a draw at their place would have some of their entitled fans reaching for the pitchforks and torches.

Did the players go over to the fans again?

I sincerely doubt if there is a single Rangers fan that is getting carried away.

Of course it won't. Dessers could score a hat trick against Celtic and then misplace a pass in 90 minutes and there would be still people moaning.

Maybe...just maybe we need to give the manager time to do his job. And maybe give the players a break. And maybe give the new players time to settle in and not expect miracles after 10 minutes. Just saying...

Are you related to Rev Jolly?

I think you call that "A good day at the office...".

I'm not sure people were thinking we were too great after the Malmo defeat.

Let's not be too hasty. Football can be a funny old game. We went from losing to a truly mediocre Malmo team in the CL qualifiers to being 30 minutes away from winning the Europa League in the same season. I'm not saying that it's going to happen again but let's see how the season unfolds.

Appreciate the effort here Yuddie and by all means call me short sighted but I genuinely cannot comprehend anything regarding Rangers and their next game. Then it will be the transfer window. Then the OF game. Europe seems mikles away at the moment.

I'd say we would be looking to get a fair chunk of the 3 million we paid for him. Say 2 million...? Straight swap. Easy...
