Holts goal -

Aaron Nemane replaces Josh Windass.

We should never be playing with only one upfront against 2nd bottom of the league.

just checked - bottom of the league.

Game started slow but since we've gone to two upfront we've looked far more dangerous.

We should never be playing with only one upfront against 2nd bottom of the league.

Lol. Thats just nonsense.

 

Its easy to make a case for replacing pedro but if you slip to this level of deaperation your not doing your cause any good.

King still being in Glasgow and at the match tonight suggests Pedros coat is on a shaky nail to me.

Dorans the victim of yet another unpunished tackle.

Dorrans off. Hererra coming on as a replacement.

Updates please!................

I've another match looking at text updates online.

Hopefully my diy will be done in another couple of weeks and I can get back to going to games.

From official site -

"PEDRO CAIXINHA has made three changes to his Rangers side to face Kilmarnock at Ibrox tonight.

Ross McCrorie comes in at the centre of defence to replace the injured Fabio Cardoso after he had his nose broken by Ryan Bowman in the League Cup semi final.

Wes Foderingham comes back in to the starting eleven following the League Cup campaign to replace Jak Alnwick, who also picked up a slight knock in the match on Sunday at Hampden.

Carlos Pena also misses out having also picked up a knock which Caixinha wasn’t prepared to risk, with his places taken by Jason Holt.

Outwith those enforced changes, Caixinha has kept the same team that played against the Steelmen on Sunday, with Bruno Alves, James Tavernier and Declan John completing the back five.

In front of them in the Gers engine room is Graham Dorrans, Ryan Jack and Jason Holt with Josh Windass and Daniel Candeias on either flank. Alfredo Morelos is at centre forward. "

Well the penalty Hibs got on Saturday was a terrible decision and their fullback got his jaw broken in the Scottish Cup Final and the player responsible wasn't punished. That's just off the top of my head, they are the only matches I've seen them play recently that didn't also involve us.

 

I've no problem with us complaining about Alves being singled out, it's a complete joke. But to then call for boycotts of matches seems like a massive jump in logic to me.

You're missing what I'm trying to say here John -I'm not interested in decisions made in games not involving Rangers. I'm complaining about the treatment and punishments being meted out to Rangers players and staff.

This has been going on for ages and nobody apart from Rangers fans seems to or wants to notice it is going on. Our players are being booted up and down the park without anything happening. On the rare occasion it is punished it is only too obvious the referee can't wait to redress the balance by taking action against one of our guys.

The whole compliance officer thing is simply downright corrupt.

When other clubs start struggling financially maybe those holding the power will ensure we see some fairness in the game.

John Mc - " We need to be careful here. It's not Hearts, or St Johnstone's or Ross County's fault that Scottish referees are poor and quite how boycotting their grounds improves that situation is currently lost on me. "

A couple of questions; when these constantly poor decisions are made against Rangers who is it that benefits ? Certainly not Rangers.

Who is it outside Ibrox who benefits from the Blue Pound ?

Do you forget that it was Celtic who brought about the referees strike ? Could you point me in ANY contentious decision that has gone AGAINST Celtic since the referees took action ?

My point is, we as Rangers fans have very few options left to us apart from causing harm to the rest of our league. Our board released a statement. Our fans reps have done nothing that I've seen. So what other action can we take ?

True...but if we shout loud enough & long enough, while encouraging others to do the same, then the media can't ignore it.

Also, briefing the media fully would be useful - pass them the same evidence that is passed to the SFA etc.

Mate, if we were trying to save Scottish football because somebody somewhere was attempting to shut it down I doubt if any supporters from any other club would lend us a hand.

The hatred runs deep with these people.

The media are only interested in reporting on us if there is scandal involved or hinted at or our manager is talking like a clueless clown. Anything else gets twisted or lost.; We'll get no help from that shower.

The Hootsmon report Kenny Miller is favourite to take over as manager from Pedro.

Aye, that one will work.

FFS !

If we want change to the current refereeing debacle....we need to look at what forced change the last time.

 

Ceptic forced the Ref's to strike through their constant criticism and focus. Since then, they Ref's are Sh*t scarred of giving them anything other that a yellow card & maybe a stern talking too.

 

I would say it's about time that firstly we start doing that, but also encourage all other clubs to do the same - openly speak out about refereeing mistakes. They are failing to do their jobs adequately, which is the bottom line - the ref on Sun, let play continue AFTER 2 clear head knocks, both of which drew blood & required medical treatment.

The only problem with that one darth is, the manks had the media sewn up with dozens of their own to lead the chorus.

Nobody gives a shyte about our complaints.

What you mean Frankie is that collectively the fans won’t support a boycott.

A boycott, i will bet both my “gonads”, would work.

I've always taken the view that at least I'm doing my bit. If other Rangers fans want to continue giving financial support to a load of scumbags who would gladly see us out of business then that's up to them. More fools them I'd say, but it's their decision.

I will NEVER be back in any ground outside Ibrox, European games excepted.

I sleep contentedly at night knowing no club in Scotland is earning anything from me. Cup games where the attendance money is split 50/50 included.

It's an excellent statement.

It should have been issued years ago though.

Was there any way for us to join the FA and any of the English leagues? Methinks there was talk of the 7th tier or the like.

We couldn't have joined the FA unless the SFA gave us permission to play home games at Ibrox.

I've heard folk say we could have taken it to court had the SFA refused us in that case - I'd say the FA would have withdrawn any invitation at that point.

It's a non starter imo.

Is anyone really surprised at the outcome???

Once again it just goes to prove the agenda at work.

Anybody giving a penny to other clubs in this country needs their bumps read.

I thought we played quite well in the first half. No idea why we lost our rhythm from the kick off after half time.

The referee yet again was a disgrace.

The second goal was offside.

Getting blootered post match probably saved my sanity.

" Hibs' failure to sell 10,000 tickets for their Betfred Cup semi-final has cost Celtic, Rangers and Motherwell up to £62,500 each.

The Easter Road club left the Parkhead club seething after it emerged the Leith outfit had only sold around half their 20,000 allocation for today's Hampden clash. "

I wonder how much bigger the pitch at Hampden is than Ibrox

I remember various teams on our journey narrowing the pitch to give us less room.

and I think Souness did it.....it was a Russian side

Dynamo Kiev in 1987-88

Agreed. Though they fairly kick the erse out of handling and postage charges.

Months ago I made the same enquiry of admin here as I'd formed the same opinion.

Whoever it is they certainly don't like our manager.

I refused to wear anything green when I was a kid. Somebody bought me socks that colour and my mother got rid of them because she knew fine well I wouldn't wear them.

Ever since I can remember I've wished nothing but ill on that club.

Mother-in-law was a big knitter, i had to listen to her click click click clicking away, drove me up the wall, swear i have tinnitus because of it lol

My wife knits Arran cardigans.

She'd be dead if she tried using metal needles.
