Norris Cole 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hill was with Dembele all the way - don't see how you blame him there. He was the wrong side of him in the lead up to the goal. Though it should be said that Hill had his best game in a Rangers shirt today. Don't get me started on Kiernan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think so, too And Gilks for keeper? Whisper it, but he strikes me as the better shot-stopper of the two. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Agree with the sentiment but if it were an either or I want the 3 points on Wednesday ahead of this. It's imperative to begin stringing together a run of results in the league and pushing up the table. Beating them is always to be desired but this cup gets us nothing. I would feel differently if it came with a Euro spot. Europa league is the last thing we need. We'd start with qualifiers not long after the season ends and if we got through them (which I very much doubt that we would) we'd have Thursday night games holding us back next season. Afaiac, we have to stop them winning the league asap. This would screw up pre-season and then potentially the season itself.

ranger_syntax 4,321 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) No complaints from me the way the result went. Gilks was great today and the fact it took a well taken goal like that is credit to the keeper. As for us, massive improvements in defending but still miles to go overall. Most of our team is a level below them but put in 100%. I see some progress. If we can challenge for second and maybe beat them once this season, it will be a good year. No thanks. I had low expectations for today but after watching that match I think we should beat them in both home fixtures. Caveat: there is still some progress required with our attack.

We have got to finish above that level of mediocrity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 At this point we don't need someone to replace Miller but rather someone to complement him. He's been our best striker this year. Sorry TB. But completely agree, we needed a striker (not convinced by Garner though he does need game time) . And we needed better at the back, yet strangely enough I thought we played well at the back today. Miller is almost 37 and has scored 3 league goals this season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worth pointing out that Warburton still hasn't had the luxury of playing Celtic at Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Whisper it, but he strikes me as the better shot-stopper of the two. Gilks played at a significantly higher level than Foderingham so it's not that surprising. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I just didn't understand the goalkeeper being the main talking point before this game. It was never going to affect the result. And in actual fact when it came to it, Gilks might just have given Warburton a headache. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
