Sorry to be pedantic pwick but why oh why are wearing this strip again? If anything this a clash with a light coloured top and dark shorts. We should be wearing our traditional blue.

That looks like our typical work-football away-game selection. Would have liked 3 attackers plus a creative man, now we have to see how Lundstram and Co. get into free spaces ...
Or will Lundstrum drop back into a 3 man unite to allow Tav and Borna to get high up the pitch?

It's too early with this new set up of players to know if this a good team or a bad team? Time will tell. C'mon Rangers!!

Kent not making it is a huge blow. Who will play left side now? Lawrence? Sakala?

It's not like Rangers fans to write of a player after seeing them for about 3 seconds.
I wonder if Ajax fans are similar? Bassey was red carded after only 14 mins of his debut in a 5-2 cup defeat from PSV.(came on as a sub at 2-2)

Good point. I would expect Davies to become first choice for that position.
Souttar will be cover for Goldson surely? Or will he operate in a back 3? Only time will tell but I fully expect it to be Goldson and Davies if we start with a back 4.

Why did you bring up the comparison to matches from last season if you think it unimportant?
Draws were a problem last season but only two, I think, were a case of falling behind and then failing to regain the lead.
The typical kind of draw, last season, was to go ahead before switching off and conceding.
That could have happened today as we only had a one goal advantage.

I think it has more to do with his inability to command his box and the blatant errors he made last season.
And his poor distribution?

Not all new players need time to settle in.
I'm not getting the logic here. Why do some require time to settle and some don't?

Yup, to deny this is simply foolish. They can all kick and head a ball but only do so well when confidence is high and for many that requires time to feel accepted by staff, fans and fellow players. Unless of course robots are the future.
Not to mention being played out of position Bill. Souttar played on the right side for Hearts.

I thought that a better analogue would be a match where we went behind early and failed to regain the lead.
Does it matter? We got three points on a notoriously tricky ground/pitch for goodness sakes. That was our main objective on match day 1.

So a new player has to effectively repeat his form immediately despite the added pressure of moving to a new club, with new surroundings and team mates. Are you at the wind up?

Poor choices, no?
We were ahead in both before giving each away.
Poor choices? I've highlighted two games that we threw away 4 pts. We got all three pts today. Very apt choices IMO.

I don't think that Souttar needs time to settle in.
I think that both he and Goldson just had a bad day against a tricky opponent.
I'm pretty sure that this same fellow played at Ibrox last season and caused a few problems then too. I don't think he is particularly good but sometimes a big striker can just dominate his opponents.
Of course Souttar needs time to settle in. All new players do.

Really, which draws did you have in mind?
3 points is all that matters until the day that we fail to get 3 points.
On that day we will all agree that we could see it coming because our form had been poor for ages.
The away draws to Aberdeen, Ross County spring to mind. Draws in these games essentially handed the momentum to Celtic going into a crucial OF game.

I would level this at all football fans of a certain age bracket ie. Those fans that have watched football and then recycle it via the madness that is social media.

I wasn't able to see the game live but will catch it later on RTV. I did read an interesting piece today from the PQ Ginger Whinger. He also condemned Souttar's performance but in mitigation pointed out when Souttar agreed a pre contract with us, the assumption was he would replace Goldson on the left side. Goldson resigning changed that, so at the moment he is playing out of position on the right. The RTV analysis after the Spurs game did put that Souttar / Barasic combination under severe scrutiny. It appears the Sands / Barasic combination is a more stable option? Of course we also have Davis & Yilmaz to blend in as well of course.
Do you mean Souttar on the right hand side? Did he not play there for Hearts?

Familiar performance.
The difficulties were familiar and so was our eventual escape.
We won the game. Last season we drew certain games like that and ultimately let go of our league title. It's the first day of the season. 3pts is all that mattered.

3 pts. Job done. We move on and try to learn from that. Livi is always a tough game on that shitty pitch at anytime of the season, so to get the desired 3pts on the opening day with players missing, new and rusty players etc. is ok with me. Will we improve? Of course we will but we need to keep winning at all costs.

Why the f**k are we wearing our away strip? There is no need to wear that eyesore today.

Our pressing is very poor IMO
