Okay in spells.  Good win.  Patchy performance. 

 

Kent's goal was a cracker.

I'll take unexciting, run of the mill, could do better, 3-0 home wins every day of the week ?

It’s amazing that it’s only three years ago we were being humiliated by Progres and the infamous bush conversation with Pedro.... to the point that we now are somewhat underwhelmed by a very comfortable 3-0 home win against an historically difficult domestic opponent.....

 

How times have changed.

 

Our Board and management team deserve great credit for the distance travelled..., but the journey is still not complete... stay focused and clinical for 10 months please ??

Craig, I agree with you that things are considerably better and I am happy with tonight's win.

 

But we need to win trophies.  I don't mean that in a fussy, miserable, 'gimme, gimme, gimme' way - I mean it in a 'We Are Rangers' way.

Good win...team lost the script after 3-0.

One takeaway; they need to find Hagi's place on the pitch. There is a place for him. I am pretty sure it's not out wide though. He is a very niche player. That dude can deal though. Not if, but when they find his slot, he is gonna be a headache for teams.

 

On to Sunday.

We all know that bud.  But 3 years ago we would be very unlikely to be so comfortable against anyone.  The job isn’t done yet but we certainly are headed in the right direction.

The problem, and it’s a good one to have, is that Aribo also seems to be better suited in the “10”.  Aribo has started the season better and deserves a run there.

I'm looking for another win Sunday to establish an 8 point lead over them and hopefully a comfortable GD advantage. Now granted they will have two games in hand even if we win Sunday but that's still two games they need to go out and win.

 

Under the pressure of knowing that if we slip up and even draw again we're beginning to trail by a not insignificant amount.

We actually play another two games before they play.  We are also at home to Killie the following week whilst Celtic have the later game that day.  So everything going well we should be 11 clear by the time they next kick a competitive ball domestically
