We've not brought in a player in ages that has improved our starting XI. I thought Roofe would be that player but unfortunately he has lived up to injury prone player other fans warned us about.

Cheers Gonzo. Official then? I've wondered why we've not worn until now. Anything but that lilac abomination.

Are we wearing the white strip today? Would be fitting IMO

I know it's all about the points but that has to be one of the worst games of football I've seen over the last few years. Awful in every way possible.

I can barely think of a time this season when we have played like champions to be honest.

We are playing as if we just expect to score. Have we not learned our lessons from the last run of games? Put this game to bed Rangers!!

Not sure to be honest. Hopefully a back 3 with Bassey and Tav where we need them. High up the pitch

Balogun back in but does this mean 3 at the back ala Dortmund? A lot on Kamara's shoulders tonight in the middle. Get the ball moving quicker Glen!

Starting to think it's not going to be our season. In the last 3 league games we should have been out of sight but we are just not turning our dominance into wins. Oh and we're defending like clowns.

Just got in the car after that utter disappointment. Hate to be controversial but some of our fans have me scratching my head. There were literally thousands of empty seats about 5 minutes from the end of what was a must win game (IMO). We needed the fans to get the team over the line but some supporters would rather get a head start on everyone as opposed to supporting the team to the end. Oh well. Each to their own but it must be utterly disheartening for the players watching fans leave in their droves when the game is on a knife edge.

Agree. One thing that can't be questioned today was effort. We put a lot into the 2nd half but it just wasn't our day.

Can't disagree with anything he's said tbh. There is no VAR at the moment so there's no point going about it. We didn't drop points because of the lack of VAR. We dropped points because we had 3 shots on target from the 29 that we had today.

Would have put on Roofe at some stage in 2nd half. He's a battler and clever with it.

Had to watch on my phone in between parental duties so what happened with blatant pull of the shirt when the player (Sakala?) was about to shoot? Was it overlooked or was it offside? Looked like stonewaller and a straight red card from what I could see?

Don't want to sound too dramatic but IMO we have 45 mins to save our league campaign. They seem determined to kick anything that moves but we need to be strong. We need another option out with floaty crosses. Their CBs are too tall and will eat that up all day.

Ramsey not on bench? Did he get a knock on Thursday?

Team sheets are out. Big Helander in at CB with Bassey moving over to LB. Other than that, the same team as Thursday 👍

Predictive text faux pas?

I would always focus on winning the game then look ahead to Thursday after that, if you need to make changes. As much the idea of knocking out Dortmund will grab headlines and earn a wider respect, 3pts today is more important due to the potential riches attached to securing the league and lucrative CL dollars.

This is always a tough game due to the compact nature of the park but with strong winds expected, the playing field will be more level than usual. 3 pts is a must of course as we need to maintain momentum and give them something to think about later today. I would go again with the structure from Thursday as the combative axis of Jack/Lundstrum/Arfield in midfield will suit the undoubted rough and tumble nature of this fixture. C'mon Rangers. Let's keep building on recent results! PS. A lot rests on El Buffalo's broad shoulders. Hopefully the player from Thursday turns up today.

Fantastic result and a truly outstanding performance. Brilliant to see Gio learn from the recent blip at the Stadium of Blight. Think they will score at Ibrox but I also think we will (based on their rear guard tonight)

Not expecting much but what I am hopeful of is that GVB has learned from the Celtic game. We need to set up with a less open system or we are going to get a doing.

Scrappy 2nd half. Is it just me or does Sands look very like Steven Davis in the way he addresses and passes the ball? Was getting them mixed up a lot there.

Have they forgot to pay the leccy bill? On my screen, it looks very dull indeed?

Hope this doesn't bite us on the erse
