And I'd agree with that 100%

Well you have a short memory.

Agreed and the same can be said about Clement to an extent (Cortes as an example). Rangersrab stated that there may be a reluctance to sack Clement due to him getting results and therefore much needed income in Europe. There is a valid argument in that opinion, but all I did was point out it didn't save Gio who generated more income (via European results) than any manager since Walter Smith.

But the intial post was about income not results. Gio got us to EL final and CL group stages. We generated more income for qualifying for the CL group stages than we did for getting to EL Final. It would also be argued that the run to EL meant we got top dollar for Bassey. So income wise, Gio generated more than any manager since Walter Smith took us to Manchester or Alex McLeish took us to the CL knock out stages

After our game I was speaking with a mate who is a Hearts fan and he said a couple of things I thought were interesting. Firstly, he said we can have Shankland for free in January and he'd give him a piggyback from Tynecastle to Ibrox (Hearts fans eh....) Secondly, he referred to Dessers as Sebo with goals and can't believe Sebo was a "cult hero" and Dessers is ridiculed (Hearts fans eh......)

Agree regarding the defending in the opening minutes as it was vital to get through those without conceding. I feared the worst when the Referee went to the screen for the penalty decision as I hadn't realised he'd given the penalty "on-field". Fair play to the officials for (eventually) getting the correct 3 decisions 😀 I thought the ref had a decent game last night.

So why was Gio sacked?

But we didn't score with the chances we created. Our opening goal was a double deflection. Our second goal was a brilliant finish, but the defender should have cleared the ball before Diomande got a chance to score. Our third goal was a short back pass which Igamane did well to latch onto and finish (credit also for Diomande for triggering the press). Our forth goal, Nice gifted us the ball, and again credit for Igamane for latching onto the ball, showing a bit of skill to beat defender and score. I thought we missed the chances we created and scored the goals we were gifted. Nothing wrong with that as such, just an observation which probably isn't reflected in the stats.

2nd January is a Thursday, just saying.....

Jefte played well, Ridvan done well when he came on. Looking at the stats, they had more shots than us, more possession - is that good or bad @Rousseau - thats a serious question. Whilst they gifted us 3 goals and the 4th was a deflection, we still missed many very good chances. Great win, great performance but we've had a few false dawns this season. Players need to back this up with a similar performance and result on Sunday. Must be favourites to beat Spurs, Man U now 😀

3 points and up the road. Cannae wait for Perth on a cold December afternoon. Igamane, Diomande, Raskin and Barron outstanding.

Comebacks on

Should have had a couple of goals.

I don't, its been a great performance but Nice are gash. No point in denying it.

Nowhere near it - goals win games. Igamane got 2, Diomande got 1 and was outstanding.

Top two candidates for MOTM withdrawn. Time for a Dessers hatrick to steal the award 😀

Wait, here's Clement giving Nice a chance..... 😀

What a goal

And - you just admitted you didn't see the 1st half. Nice were very poor. Does this mean we can beat PSG?

I didn't say I cared, but it's undeniable that Nice are very poor. And why do you care what the BBC say?

Still time for him to be hooked 😀

They've been remarkably poor and are bottom of the EL table.......

He's been watching Dessers 😀

Right, we need to start a petition to have the SPL games played on a Thursday night and be renamed the Europa League.
