Too many Liverpool players off the boil tonight. Front 3 just did not click with Diaz strangely way off the pace. Saying that, they could and should have scored about 4 or 5 goals.

Bring back the old 1963 blue and white vertical stripes as our second strip 

A wee variation on this classic  would be welcome.

Bit of a late post on this but I was disappointed we chose to wear all blue in the final and wanted to see us in our traditional home shirt, shorts and socks.  Not sure if UEFA would've allowed the white shorts but the black and red socks would definitely have been okay.

 

Playing in all blue against a team in white didn't do us much good in 2008.  

 

Hopefully we ditch the all blue from now on.

Agreed. Was there also something going on with our blue strip? Maybe it was my TV but it looked a total different shade of blue from earlier in the year (see pics). Not too impressed with Castore and from what I've seen of our strips for next season, that's not going to change. They've rather imaginatively come up with another all black strip as our away top. 2 seasons ago it was all black with orange trim, last season it was all black with red trim, next season it's all black with blue trim. And don't get me started on that orange training top that passes as a 3rd kit.

I would have had him whipping in inswinging corners yesterday. His deliveries are like bullets. 

That looks like a negative change to me

Be lucky if we see Roofe before 80 mins. He isn't fit.

What the hell is he doing on the bench? Coming on for pens?

Give Tav his due, on the few occasions when he loses form, he loses it all. 

WTF has happened? Looks like he's just been introduced to the game of football last week.

Roofe for Davis. Lundstram drops deeper and Aribo drops back into the hole. 

Bassey is an absolute beast

Stop talking about wednesday you little wanker

We need to score in this half...120 on Weds are gonna start hitting hard. 

Subs will play a huge part in the 2nd half

Frustrating...

Just like wednesday, our captain looks out of sorts

Lundstrum or Davis need to come deep and make themselves available to our CBs.

I see the wee f**ker on BBC has started early. "The carnage that ensued on wednesday". WTF?

A look by VAR might also,as some have suggested,have shown ball over line before Roofe crossed.

Might and if are very meaningful words but the game has gone so look forward to today.

 

Leaving soon and hoping for similar result as 1976 when I was last at a Rangers V Hearts cup final.

 

Or possibly the same score as yhe Laudrup final of 1996😎

The Europa League final is history, over and done. Sooner or later all of us will have to move on. What better reason than another cup final today?

 

 

Agreed. Was only just pointing out the Kent thing as I have basically avoided anything to with the final since their winning penalty went in. Onwards and upwards. A wee Scottish cup victory will be a great bloody tonic. 

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but after watching the highlights again, did we have a fair shout for a pen when Kent missed in the last minute of ET. The defender basically piles through the back of him as he connects with the ball. Don't think the ref on Wednesday was giving much but another ref might have had a look at VAR. Clutching I know but I didn't even consider this on Wednesday through the tension.

I'm really struggling to be up for this.  I hope the players aren't in the same frame of mind.  

 

On the bright side, I'm sticking to my 'not going to Hampden again' guns and our record there since 2011 is very much: Gonzo's there = we lose, Gonzo's not there = we win.  

 

Mon The Rangers!  🇬🇧

I'm the total opposite tbh. I'm buzzing about this game and I'm  actually glad we have a match with a trophy at stake to help us get over Wednesday. Its time for us to win a cup!! C'mon Rangers!!

Asking for a friend...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I cannot wait for the game tomorrow. Hopefully we can shake off some of the fall out from Wednesday by lifting the cup. 🏆

A little post script about Sevilla... there was a funny call on Clyde SSB last night. A Rangers fan was stating how proud he was of the team but we failed and we move on as a club. I'm paraphrasing but he was saying that there will be no plays at the Pavillion about Seville, no suites at Ibrox named after Seville etc. ie. We don't celebrate failure at Rangers like a certain other club does. There is a lot of truth in that IMO.

I think it was the Germans 48th game of the season,....it was our 64th.

Yes, a fit and firing Morelos would have made defending much more difficult for them.

Despite these facts and the searing heat, we finished the stronger team and looked fitter than them in ET.
