What was his role in the Cup Final report?

Comparing the possible hiring of one idiotic Yahoo with a questionable online history with a guy who was part of a wider organisation that made a decision we did not favour is silly. I doubt McKinlay was the judge, jury and executioner back in 2012.

Regardless of what he was signed as, it is clear that he can cause the opposition problems further up the pitch. Cortes is injured. Matondo is a wasted jersey. Fraser is a LB therefore a round peg in a round whole. Its a no brainer IMO.

Don't be ridiculous. That's a rather silly comparison.

Let the past go. It's done. We need to move on FFS.

Fraser has to play. Not Sterling at LB or Davies. Or Jefte for that matter. Give the lad the jersey and tell him it's his for the next 2 months.

And I wonder why we are light years behind our rivals in the East. Welcome to the Rangers fan base. This myopic obsession with what's happened in the past is why we never move forward. We literally never see the bigger picture. I don't give a flying f**k what happened 10 years ago. Is he good enough for the job? That's what matters.

Nothing like a League Cup tie against a Craig Levein team in a half empty dump of a stadium to get the juices flowing...

He was lawyer and moved into Sports about 10 years back. Has worked in football and golf and has a good reputation by all accounts. I've heard that it's between him and the guy at Aberdeen who was also a CEO at Motherwell. Is it Burrows? The left field option I have heard been mentioned was the lady at Nordsejaelland Trine Moller. Apparently she's a big player in the Right to Dream set up that Diamonde came from.

Clement has yet another puzzle to solve with regards to LB. If Ridvan is going to be missing over the next month or so I would be handing a jersey to young Frazier. Jefte looks better in advanced positions and Sterling is wasted there. Davies is also a no. Give the young man the chance to make a name for himself and get him to prioritise the novel idea of a defender actually defending. It can't get any worse? Can it...?

Thought Souttar did well but I've always thought he was better as a "backs to the wall" seige like defender. It's the bread and butter games with not much to do but deal with balls over the top that worry me. Barron for me.

I said it earlier in the summer and it might be controversial but we should have openly touted the sale of Butland in the summer. His sale could potentially bring in 10-15 million and that combined with player sales would have help fund our much needed rebuild. Butlands a great goalie (not as good as some people make out though...) but we have bigger issues in front of him to fix. Kelly would be good enough for the SPL and with better players in front of him.

Something fishy about the whole Danilo thing. Could there be a part of his deal related to appearances in competitive games? It's strange that he was fit enough for a pre season game but hasn't featured in any competitive games yet ( I think).

Both were poor but I would have started with Cerny after Saturday. Are we the only team that is micro managing minutes from every player. In all my time watching Rangers, I cannot recall ever hearing so much about fitness and players being ready. Just friggin play them.

Disappointment all round. The refs decision obviously had a massive impact on the game but our play confuses me. It seems we resorted to funneling the ball wide and hitting long hopeful crosses into from deep areas to one striker. We have seen this movie before with Tav & Borna from 2 seasons ago. We also need to end this number 10 nonsense. We need a player with guile, pace, energy and goals & assists. Lawrence is none of these things. Get Sterling in the middle as a 6 and shove the two 8's forward. On top of all that Ridvan looks like he's out (again), Jefte will be suspended for future UEFA games and Hampden is a problem.

Miffed at the fans moaning about his poor touch.

Cerny on.

Agree about his fitness. Hopefully he can give us 45 mins.

I get that but ultimately his overall quality and decision making are piss poor IMO. Cerny on for me.

Tav pulling the trigger too soon for me.

Big Propper looks composed

Cerny needs to be starting. Always start with your strongest team.

Agreed but the risk attached to his sloppy play is higher due to high position (and lack of pace)

Not surprised in the slightest. Hampden is terrible place to watch football.
