Devil's advocaat

Absolutely, you just need to know how to utilise it.

Ricksen was shite at right back, Papac while a bit of a folk hero wasn't any better than Munro or Davie Rob, so that comparison was nonsense. Neil McCann is a player I'd have had in my team before Miko or Kanchelskis every time, he was one of the last proper wingers we had. To compare him to Wright is embarrassing. Laudrup and Gary Stevens were a league above, but your other assertions are drivel mate. As for being realistic about our situation, yes I'm well aware of our situation, but it doesn't stop me from being disappointed, I'm sure many other fans feel the same, while being well aware of our current status.

The issue for us is that buyers will come at the last minute for some of those, by which point we're either scrambling around, or left short.

Agreed, there's some revisionism in there eh.

So disappointing to start the season with Wright and Davies in the starting line up.

Malangsob, I guess your culture is different. We have a long and proud tradition of remembrance, indeed many fans have grand and great grandparents who fought the fascists. We can't be having Mussolini type nonsense here, that's duplicity in the extreme.

😬 I was only joking ffs.

Early days, but I can see a future leader in the guy.

Agree, every word.

Fantastic.

Agreed. It's this year's 'literally'.

Age isn't the main driver, but for the last half of the season you could clearly see his legs weren't at the races.

Be off with you and your actual reasoned, informed opinion John.

3 year deal too, well done sir!.

Spot on, overall he was a very good player for us indeed.

Chances of John Fleck doing a Jonny Evans?.

Aye, I don't see that we're any weaker either. A good team is always greater than the sum of its parts, PC inherited a fragile group mid season, did pretty well to push as far as we did, and now has a pre season behind him. Borna had shat the bed, Lundstram played when he fancied it, and Goldsons legs are gone.

Great interview. I think, and hope, that PC is here to see through this rebuild.

I'd expect a few more new faces before then, Compo 🤞🏼

Tbf Jack and Raskin weren't exactly regulars last season, and Lundstram was posted missing too often. I'm up for a re-rig in the engine room, it's high time.

Ditto.

Only PC knows the answer to that Cammy.

Naw. Rangers have taken enough 'punts' on unproven managers in recent history. PC needs to be given time, and will come good.

I think Cantwell is just another one to add to the long line of players that had no idea of the pressure, requirements and expectation that is the reality of being a Ranger. A talented player, of that there is no question, but the win-every-game scenario that is our reality is beyond the grasp of many players until they actually live it.

Great post mate, apart from the last line 😋
