Been through in Glasgow today praying that something would happen so I could nip to Ibrox on the way home.

I really hope the board have their man. Would be unthinkable if Gerrard pulled out like McInnes at the 11th hour.

Finding it soooo hard not to get excited by this.

Folk saying William Hill have suspended betting too.

He has drifted away abit since earlier. Gerrard is currently odds on with SkyBet 1/2

The Hamilton goal against Hibs should win GOTS, was a superb team goal.

Bet Victor have suspended betting on Gerrard being the next Rangers manager.

Slighty off topic but if we moved on Alwnick & Foderingham I would like to see Liam Kelly moved into the first team as back up to McGregor.

Thank god!

This is what Mark Allan has been doing since he was appointed. And I would also say out Youth Academy is above ‘decent’ and has been for a couple of years now.

Charles Greens mate. Hope it’s untrue. He certainly won’t get me excited for next season.

Yeh that’s all my point is. Some will say because Murty has failed we should never touch a youth coach when there has been success elsewhere. Every top manager has been given a break at some point.

Just a small point on Gerrard being an U18s coach. Remember Pep was the Barca B coach for only one season then got the top job. Of course there would be risks but just because you are a youth coach shouldn’t write you off.

Loved Allan McGregor but that was 8 years ago. Only really saw him with Scotland since, could argue he is the number 1 there?

Where the hell has this Gerrard chat came from?

He has said that himself he wouldn’t be doing things like that in other places but totally agree maybe too much of a gamble. There just insn’t an obvious choice out there.

I have watched alot about him. I am honestly not sure, my mind keeps changing (as it does with de Boer) I like he is a modern manager. I like he has had the balls to leave England and make a name for himself. I like he has had success. Heard what he has done being compared to taking Stenhousemuir from League Two to Europa League. He has Billy Reid as his assistant which could help in Scotland too. At the same time I see him and his players rehersing for plays in the town hall and thinking he will be treated as a joke from day one by the media here. I just don’t know ?

Graham Potter now favorite at 7/2 Frank de Boer drifted out to 9/2

I take you’re point but I had said elsewhere that on paper I counted we have a squad of 30 first team players - I include Forrester & Pena in that. Next season IMO we should be using whatever budget we have and going with a smaller squad (maybe 18) and adding academy players when needed. Bringing in 5 or 6 quality players, as I said two centre backs, two midfielders and a striker I think we wouldn’t be far away at all. I would much rather than than sign 10 average players like we have been doing in the last 2 years. Just my opinion though.

Last time I looked they were just outside the relegation zone.

£5m for John McGinn? Wow

People in Scotland still don’t get the idea of a modern day DoF, hopefully it becomes more clear over the summer. You’re point regarding Pena (and Herrera, Cardoso, Dalcio..) is spot on. Hopefully this is the last time we see wholesale changes over a summer transfer window.

A midfield 3/5 next season of (L to R): Murphy, Arfield, Dorrans, McArthur, Candieas That is a very good middle for us. Two top centre backs and maybe another striker and we would be looking very good next season.

As soon as those fixtures were announced you just know this was gonna happen. Perhaps we may get lucky and get a draw, our team have some sort of mental block against that mob for some reason.

Was really pleased with how we went about the match today. It wasn't just a win for me, the boys rolled up their sleeves and fought for every ball. Cummings, Holt, Dorrans, Murphy & Candieas were all excellent.
