Matondo is murder to watch. Just runs with his head down, with no awareness of what's going on around him. Also, how many times do our players get caught on the ball? Does no one shout "man on" anymore?

A draw at Tynecastle isn't a disaster but the performance was quite concerning, as there really wasn't much difference to what we saw at the end of last season. I can quite confidently predict we won't win the league unless we improve the defence, midfield and forward positions before the window closes.

I moaned about Wright, Lawrence and Dessers starting and amongst the general malaise, they have been the worst three. We really need a few more transfers if we want to win anything.

I think Cortes looks like he'll be really good when he gets going. Here's hoping the knee is okay.

Disagree. With five subs, changes can be made straight away (in my opinion).

Aye, lucky to get away with that.

Cracking shot from Barron. Then Dessers does another of his dinks over the keeper...and the bar.

Hopefully it's a game we grow into because we've started poorly and are second best all over the park.

Dessers diving about like a big jessie again. I honestly can't stand him.

We need a good defensive midfielder. Barron might become one but he'll need to put in one Hell of a shift in front of that lot.

Just checked the starting XI. Lawrence. Dessers and Wright starting...

I don't think he's that bad but he is a bit soft for the league we play in. Hopefully Propper makes a big difference when he's available.

Sensible.

North Central Edinburgh is more like Stockbridge/Silvermills than Murrayfield. Speaking of that area, the original plan for Edinburgh's new town was for it to be built in the shape of a Union Flag. Unfortunately, that proved too complex/costly but it's still a magnificent area, from an architectural point of view.

I stayed in Gorgie for a few years and never had any problems there. Some good pubs too. My son and I wandered up a random street near Union Berlin's stadium and witnessed several bikers and two vans full of skinheads going into a back entrance, which caused us some predictable amusement (Fourth Reich gathering, perhaps?). Other than that, it seemed like a nice area. Hopefully our defending is better in Gorgie than it was last Saturday.

Dinnae be a big wimp. 😃

It's quite disappointing that the starting line up is going to be so familiar. However, they should have enough to beat Hearts. Hopefully pre-season form is dismissed tomorrow and we show a lot more desire and concentration. I was just saying to the wee man that on three Saturdays running, Rangers will have played at Murrayfield, East Berlin and Gorgie. Two of those are within a thirty minute walk from my house but I will have only attended the one that's about 600 miles away. Weird. Mon The Rangers!

Aye, I don't see Diamonde or Barron running big matches. We need someone who can do that, if we want to win the league. Lawrence simply isn't good enough, Dowell is never fit and the manager doesn't fancy Cantwell or Hagi.

Agreed. There's three or four potential starters that worry me. We've made some decent signings but still not enough transfer activity.

Aye, Robin Friday. A mythical creature.

That sentence really needs a comma. That's unfair on the support. Were you at Brechin or the Ramsden's Cup Final or did you fork out for the most expensive Champions League package, only to watch the team get skelped from all and sundry?

No.

Whether the club is an 'omnishambles' or not is a matter of opinion. Omni means all. So am omnishambles suggests all aspects of the club are a problem, which I don't think is the case but posters using that term perhaps don't mean it literally and are implying several or many aspects aren't operating as they should. Which is one reason I find the term's repeated usage rather tiresome. The stadium issue has pushed a few supporters over the edge, understandably.

Although some posters go over the top with continual and repetitive negativity, what has Bennett done at Rangers that you (or anyone?) has been impressed by? We have to judge him on what he does at Rangers.
