It will be very hard game. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves on or has inhaled a tube of glue for their breakfast. We will never be at a stage when we will consider these games to be anything but hard. That being said, we have recently established a proud record of giving teams of this level a very uncomfortable evening at Ibrox. I just hope we leave the pitch tonight having given ourselves a chance to progress in a week's time. The omission of the away goals rule means come what may, teams are always in the tie (if it's tight)

Rangers 1 PSV 1

FGS Colak

Some additional post match thoughts. I thought we were somewhat guilty of over doing it today when in the final 3rd. There were many occasions when the attacking player had a clear shot on goal but incomprehensibly decided to make yet another pass. Early days though. 

Albeit he had little to do defensively, Davies looked assured and wasn't too shy at looking for the forward pass with his left peg. 

Good day at the office. Good to see the new boys all make a decent contribution. On top of that, I had a tenner on the 3 English Premiership draws, which came to £342. Thanks Joe Aribo! 

Kent missing. Wright and Matondo on flanks. Is Kent injured? He's not even on the bench. 

Rangers 3 St Johnstone 0

FGS Tav

Is this for real? Iconic indeed...🤣🤣🤣😋🤣

Thought United were still in it until the 7th went in...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mission accomplished let’s now prepare for our next game maybe a wee closed doors game to give Morales some game time to sharpen him up .

He looks like he also needs to shift a few pounds IMO.

PSV take the lead in ET...

Easy. Long way to go.

Can someone please get James Taverniers actual boots? He looks like he's put someone else's on.

Ref is losing the plot

Amazing firepower. When did Jim Forest enter the fray? His records are also outstanding. Did he not score 58 goals in one season (64-65 I think?)

We're you around when Ally Mccoist, Mark Hateley or Andy Goram first signed for the club? If you were, what we're your 1st impressions of them? 

Remember when the Tims wrote off Larsson after his misplaced pass set up an early defeat against Hibs?

Or Morelos, Lundstrum, Jack, Bassey to name a few of the more recent roster of players.

And we were miles of that level when we played Malmo. Its because its early in the season. Without checking back, I doubt many on here predicted a Europa League final when we lost to Malmo.

Good point.

What's rash about it?

 

Any judgement made refers to the 60 minutes in question.

I would say that judging a player who has literally just arrived in the country, who doesn't know his team mates, may not speak English, who is thrown into a somewhat dysfunctional team (at the moment), after 60 minutes of football is very rash indeed.

Nope.

I'm a bit concerned about the contribution by Ridvan Yilmaz. What does he offer that we don't already get from Barisic? It's not even ninety minutes but I didn't see anything to suggest there might be more to come.

You made these comments based on 60 minutes of SPL football. If that's not a rash judgement, then I don't know what is. Saying that, you also said John Souttar did not need time to settle in.

Who is making rash judgements?

You it seems?

Is that to say that you didn't see anything either?

He did ok. No more or no less than Barasic but he has literally played about 60 minutes of league football. I wouldn't make rash judgements on that amount of game time. Do we ever learn?

A couple of points that occurred to me while watching the match yesterday.

 

Goldson playing out from the back is really starting to annoy me. He has been surprisingly good at this in the past. Every time that I see it now he just slows play down even further. Too many touches and he is getting caught out very often when strolling forward with the ball. I think the latter point might even be three matches in a row.

For a moment, I thought you were seriously assessing this new player on his first 60 minutes against a team that had little interest in getting over the half way line? 

The team in Europe at the end of last season would destroy this team at Ibrox. Unfortunately, we are miles off that level at the moment but I still fully expect to win the game on Tuesday. Whether that will be enough to progress is a different matter.

How does one go about that ? 

Spoke directly to the TV licence people and openly stated I don't watch any BBC out put and don't watch any live TV. They then provided me with a letter stating that I didn't require a licence. Why pay 150 a year for something I never use?
