Yes, there have been some great performances and results but the GvB CL campaign still gives me nightmares and apart from the two Betis matches last season, we were pretty rubbish.

Not sure if it's an age thing or just being so used to disappointment but I'm not tense or worried about tonight's game. Fully expect a flat, disjointed performance and a defeat.

Mike Ashley says thanks for your support.

Wasn't there a bigger, fatter antagonist involved?

The Rangers vs Elite Sports case has been settled today, for an undisclosed fee.

We've all been there...but perhaps not just prior to refereeing a high level football match. 🤣

Quick passing and movement is probably more useful when playing defensive opponents, like we do domestically. Matondo and Wright both have pace but no end product.

Only got announced last night. It'll be on there.

It's a bit concerning how little we're hearing about outgoings. I'd have hoped a few clubs would be looking at the likes of Cantwell and Hagi but there's been very little on the grapevine.

A draw or a 1 goal defeat would be acceptable tonight. However, I doubt we'll be able to recreate the Ibrox atmosphere at the national dump.

So, match day. This one feels like the whole season in one match - should be huge and have us all brimming with excitement/tension but all I'm feeling is a dull apprehension and a slight sense of dread. We really need to get some of these players shifted.

Is that the new "7-10 days"?

Hagi is playing for the B Team this afternoon.

That's putting it mildly. It's utter balderdash.

We're trying to.

Yes, it's ludicrous. I'd add Lawrence and Dessers too.

Yes, we go straight into the Europa League, if Kiev or Twente/Salzburg put us out. We really need to get past Kiev though, as that guarantees the £4m parachute payment.

I think the two draws have been kind to us but like yourself, I don't think we'll make the play-off round, as pre-season recruitment has been a failure (so far).

Will RTV not show it for punters overseas, regardless? 😉

No TV station has taken the game. That might change. Either way, I'm fully expecting us to lose.

We seem to be making a bit much of this. Dafties with daft flag at a football match - does it matter? It's mainly a casuals' flag, with some right wing implications. I don't like rainbow armbands or Rangers fans called Declan but wouldn't ban them. If I see or hear something I don't like, I either speak to the person(s) or haud my wheesht. Telling tales is not a good thing (with some exceptions).

Clement seems pretty rigid when it comes to his tactical set up (which I'm not a fan of). 4-2-3-1.

Tav was captain yesterday.

I'm more embarrassed about the drum, if I'm honest. Yesterday's match sounded like one of those daft 80s movies set in deepest Africa, at certain points. The flag is a bit like half and half scarves, except it's a Rangers ICF/Chelsea Headhunters combo.

Watching the Dundee derby and it looks like Goodwin has brought in another couple of decent North Macedonians (he brought Miovski to Aberdeen). The two of them have been involved in some decent attacking play and goals. I keep saying it but the Balkans is a fertile ground for good talent and we should be looking there.
