Comparing ourselves to Celtic is obviously the main metric but it really is all about our own shortcomings at the moment. We can't be side-tracked by what they do or don't do. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,564 Posted Wednesday at 12:28 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:28 Celtic weren't substantially better than us last season and so far all they've done is replace their keeper. At best they've stood still, so far. Have we regressed a bit, or stood still also? Losing Lundstram and Barasic weakens the squad, time will tell if Baron and Jefte are adequate replacements. Sima is the biggest loss to our squad and he's not been replaced. It would be astonishing if we don't sign at least a couple of forward players before the window closes. I expect we'll strengthen elsewhere too as other players leave. It's frustrating we don't have more players in so they can get to know their team mates and Clement's demands, but it's still only July. You have to assume things are going on, talks are taking place. There tends to be a domino effect, someone in the chain needs to sell or buy and that triggers a raft of moves. I think we will need to get used to Rangers playing younger home grown players this season too. Not first choice, but when injuries and suspensions happen I think Clement will have to play the youth. In my experience Rangers supporters are all for this until it actually happens, we're not the most patient support. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 14,228 Posted Wednesday at 14:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:38 Talk of Lammers moving has cheered me up a bit but there has been quite a lot of positive talk that has went nowhere, so... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,451 Posted Wednesday at 17:15 Share Posted Wednesday at 17:15 Sometimes it is - IMHO - also necessary to take a step back and have a look at where we have been only a few years ago, and where we are now. Let's strife for the better, as always, but keep also rooted firmly in reality. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
