Happy result,dire game and Flanagan still totally fails to impress me.

Here's to next round,unfortunately on Rugby Park plastic.

Nice to see Houston get a start. The result is all that matters though.

And there's the trifecta

 

Houston didn't get a "start" - he came on as sub....

Agreed.

Quite incredible the amount of slating our team receives from our own fans.

It was a very tricky surface at the start of the match and got worse every minute!.

Job done, with ease, and on to Saturday.

The game was done at half time, and they all knew it.  I am completely ambivalent to the 2nd half performance - trying to notch 6 or 7 is great and all, but we have bigger games to play in the coming weeks - taking the foot off the gas and laboring to the finish in a comfortable victory against lower level opposition is fine by me.

 

I wont lose sleep over it, particularly when we have those bigger games coming up

In your opinion, and many others, however Halliday has the position on merit and has done nothing wrong.

He "has the position on merit" ?  Did he have the position on Sunday against Livvy ?

 

Nobody has said he has done anything wrong.  But I am sure the majority would agree that Barasic is the first choice LB.

 

Until and unless SG confirms one or the other we are all guessing I suppose

[MacK1950 2,378]

We're all guessing but at least Halliday doesn't have a fragile notice stuck to him.

No he never started against Livi, did Barasic start tonight? he has to get match time as all players do, and right now Halliday is on form therefore our best LB, he is playing better than Barasic so deserves to be 1st choice RB. Barasic has yet to establish himself in the team, Halliday has, not rocket science

Barasic is yet to prove he can handle playing for Rangers, so far he hasn't.
