I'm at the stage where I expect us to be on the (wrong) decisions going against us, that's why it is harder for us to win these matches. However I do believe we have the beating of them, Kent, Aribo and Jack need to up their game for us to do that though. Boyd just called it out on Sky, ''once again Rangers on the wrong end of a refereeing decision''.

Decent 1st half that from us, very soft penalty and you rarely see them given, much like Morelos getting booked for his gesture v Motherwell. Great save from Shagger, and what a finish from Kent, excellent goal. Then they bastards get lucky again with a hand ball being allowed. Still, I'm looking forward to the 2nd half, I still fancy us to win this.

£46 quid for this view! not me, somebody posted it on twitter

No excuses today, strong team capable of winning there

Thankfully it's not up to me, but I think he is a young lad with potential and too young to dismiss him yet, he still qualifies for the youth team. If SG decides to let him go then I will go along with it, best leave it up to the manager to decide

A bit too early for me to write him off! the lad has talent.

The former Liverpool midfielder has been catching the eye across the continent this season. Given his past there was always going to be plenty of interest in Steven Gerrard's managerial fortunes in Liverpool. Interest isn't just limited to Merseyside and Clydeside though, as the Rangers manager has been hailed as "a future great coach" by respected magazine France Football. The bi-weekly publication has been going since 1946, and organises the Ballon d'Or every season. Ahead of tomorrow's top of the table clash with Celtic they've taken a look at the Rangers boss in an article titled 'The Steven Gerrard method'. Paying tribute to his "constant progression", France Football believes that the former midfielder "has all the assets of a future great coach". They write that Gerrard has "clearly defined principles of play which suggest that the coach could live up to the expectations that his status as a legendary player gave rise to". The Ibrox gaffer has impressed tactically, with the French publication diving into "a slightly asymmetrical system" where Ryan Kent provides width on the left, but his counterpart on the right supports either Alfredo Morelos or Jermain Defoe. That allows James Tavernier to get forward on the overlap beyond "a winger in name only" which the respected magazine calls "a slightly hybrid system" with "high pressing and constant intensity". France Football also points to Gerrard improving since his arrival, noting that now "even when Rangers aren't having a good day, they win". Last season was the Rangers manager's first in the dugout and it's noted that he "was not always inspired in his choices" but now "Gerrard seems to have crossed a real milestone at this level". As evidence they point to the fact that Gers substitutes have scored 12 goals in 36 games so far this season. France Football points out that Rangers have lost just three games across all competitions this season and taken 2.61 points per game in the league, whereas Walter Smith's title winning side of 2010-11 lost nine games in all competitions. Rangers will face Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday as they look to close the gap on their rivals at the top of the Premiership. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steven-gerrard-hybrid-rangers-system-21176195

Separate Entity FC fans are raging on this tweet, the comments are hilarious! puddle drinkers raging!

Alfredo Morelos can sleep easy as he heads into 2020 no matter the result at Celtic Park.One Scotland, many cultures?It’s unlikely the Colombian striker will be called up any time soon and asked to lend his endorsement to the Holyrood campaign.Scottish football can be a brutal, tribal business, but the civic nationalism espoused by Nicola Sturgeon was long ago exposed as a fallacy when it comes to the Rangers frontman.Too often, there’s an ugliness at the heart of the Scottish football support, which will be manifested in all its gory detail in tomorrow’s Old Firm clash.Morelos is likely to feel the wrath of it, walking out into an environment that would make even the knees of a Spartan shake, but this time you’d back him to cope.The learning curve for Morelos these past 18 months has been steep, but there’s more to the 23-year-old than a scowl and a well clipped short back and sides.That disgusting banner held up by Aberdeen fans at Pittodrie earlier this year, which crossed the line from naked hostility to blatant racism, represented a new low for the image of Scotland as a tolerant, welcoming nation.That someone would go to the bother of funding a banner declaring, in Spanish, ‘Morelos, your mother is a mattress’ was shameful.That a group of fans would hoist it high was even worse, before we even get started on those who tried to take a Silentnight into the subsequent Ibrox cup replay the following week.The woman who was the victim of such reprehensible behaviour – her name is Marta by the way, not Mattress – spent her Christmas Eve with her husband, Alfredo senior, handing out gifts to disadvantaged kids in their home city.Their boy – that despicable individual – funded 300 gifts for children in the Botaven neighbourhood of Cerete as part of his charity foundation and has rightly been feted for his sense of community, as well as his integrity and generosity.Win, lose or draw, Morelos will climb off a plane from the UK on Monday and straight into a game he has organised to help raise funds for a host of educational causes around his home town.If Morelos was Scottish they would be erecting statues to him outside Hampden and building an international team around him for seasons to come.Put it this way, how many Scottish kids could leave their home at the age of 19 and fly halfway across the world without a support network in a bid to make it in the game?That was the route Morelos took less than four years ago when he moved to Finland, determined to fulfil his dream of playing in the major leagues by using HJK Helsinki as a stepping stone.Morelos grew up in such abject poverty he sold fruit from the side of the road with his father and it’s the same streetfighter instincts that will help him achieve his career ambition via Rangers, most likely at the end of this season.In the meantime, he will continue to bully the life out of Scottish defenders, underlining a strength of character and a lack of fear, driven only by the desire to be the very best he can be.Steven Gerrard admitted Morelos was again subject to wind-ups from opposition players, this time from Kilmarnock, who do everything they can to unnerve him.They have gone as far as learning the rudiments of Spanish to badmouth him in his mother tongue, while abuse off the field has also become commonplace in the goldfish bowl of Glasgow.Morelos has his faults and weaknesses – don’t we all – but his ability to bounce back time and again from adversity is the reason Stewart Robertson was correct to tag him a £20million player, at least.It’s worth pointing out Morelos was rarely booked and never red-carded during his time in Finnish football, but that’s only because rival players are far too gentlemanly in that corner of northern Europe, surely?What do you mean nice guys come last? The Finns have already qualified for Euro 2020 so maybe we should take a leaf from their book and focus on bringing out the best in ourselves, rather than the worst in others.The cameras will follow his every move at Parkhead and every foul in which he is involved will be analysed to death in a bid to confirm a narrative of destruction on often spurious evidence.He’ll be keen to show he has already gift wrapped all the presents he plans to this festive season.

Separate Entity FC 0 - Rangers 3 Morelos hattrick
