So many of our issues are instigated by Tav misplacing simple passes.

I know he's young but McCausland is a poor player IMO.

A wee general point...I get that many fans are disappointed by the pre-season developments as well as the last 3 years chaotic title challenges but can we start to show some patience? This continual and almost daily bi-polar reaction to everything Rangers is baffling for someone in their 50's. I fully understand that is the way the world works these days but let's all calm down. Let the manager build HIS team and do his job.

Stupidity more like

Why?

Didn't Hearts sign a guy at 11 o'clock on Saturday and he then made the bench against us.

Staggering

Agree 100%. Generally technically gifted and on cheap wages. Win win in my book.

I'd make Propper the captain now. Tav is miles away at the moment.

So does our future transfer business hinge on how we solve the Hagi/Cantwell conundrum? Two players on hefty wages with some sell on value, sitting doing nowt.

Agree 100%. As much as this is disappointing, I'm not surprised. You could not pay me to go to Rangers away game these days. My last away day was at Easter Road during Gerrards time. I met an old mate from Edinburgh. I was excited to see my team but after listening to 40 minutes of shite about Bobby Sands, I'd had enough. I genuinely love my team but why would I want to spend my hard earned cash standing beside guys that are so filled with hatred and aggression. Hearing a replay of the Bobby Sands shite during our recent friendly vs Berlin was beyond depressing to say the least.

I get that but he was carrying an injury so hopefully he'll be available soon. His inclusion in the first Euro squad suggests that this may be the case as we can make changes further down the line.

I'm hoping our scouting Intel suggests that Igamane was worth the 1.5 outlay. If we can move him on for more money in the future then it will look like a shrewd move. Clement has suggested such in some recent interviews retarding transfers. Obviously this is all dependent on him doing well.

Missed large chunks of the second half (due to plumbing emergency) but from what I saw it seems we have a choice to make. Are we going to go with a flat 3 in the middle (with a 6) or are we going to persist with the 10. Our supposed interest in Jordan/Hannibal/McLean suggests a flat 3? Either way we need to boss that area of the pitch. Our lack of control there is frustrating which is then is further compounded by us going long too many times. It was hard to watch. On a side note...I see some comments about lack of a tangible style etc. It's worth noting that Slott has already got Liverpool playing in a different manner with their fans raving about how they've set up...

Pròpper not in squad. I presume registration not through. Cerny on bench.

Agreed. Everybody seems to be losing it over his delay due to fitness issues. He's had an injury so it's probably down to that as opposed to lack of general fitness. I think this boy will fly under the radar and surprise a few people.

Buzzing for today. 3 points by any means possible. Everyone has written us off so hopefully we can prove a few (thousand) people wrong.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but how's about the new guy from Twente as a new captain? That was his role during his time in the Netherlands and he speaks good English. We wanted fresh ideas and the old failures to be swept aside. I also don't like the idea of a keeper as captain.

Turning up for 5 or 6 games a season isn't good enough. Disappearing in pivotal games that shape the destiny of our season is definitely not good enough. Saying that, Cantwell is not on his own in that category. That's why we need a clear out after all.

My god... we have a squad full of really bang average footballers.

I would fine any player a weeks wage if they hit a long high ball. It's soul destroying watching this. It seems every team in modern football can play in a coherent shape with guile and pace....apart from us. Unless long balls are an actual tactic from our manager...

If we get more than the 1.5 million does that mean we can make a notch in the "Player Trading" positive column?...

This☝️. Hampdump will be like playing in neutral venue IMO and our home crowd "leg up" is all but gone.

Kyiv or Belgrade? I would trust our current squad to beat Kelty or Brechin.

Admire the positivity but I can think of several reasons why we might not be in the new CL set up.
