You're probably right but I hate the thought of them winning it by Christmas.

I hope we are the only club with a trophy in the cabinet come Christmas.

Not in the least concerned about Aberdeen the bookies seldom get it wrong 

Aberdeen 5/2 

Rangsrs4/5

Draw5/2

I think I'm the only Rangers supporter left who expects us to beat Aberdeen on Wednesday. 

I'm really hoping Aberdeen approach the match the way most of their support, and decent percentage of ours, expect. If they are open and expansive I think that plays right into our hands. We've struggled against packed defences, but when sides have a go, like Malmo, Bucharest, Dundee in the cup and Ross County at the start of the season, we've done fine. There's no way Aberdeen are as good as Celtic or Lyon. I accept they are in good form, are picking up points and are clearly a better side than in recent seasons, but they're still Aberdeen. 

 

We need to bring our scoring boots, I'm hoping Dessers 45 mins on the bench has given him the kick in the arse he needed, he was much more effective in the second half yesterday than he's been in the previous half dozen games. Cerny and Bajrami seem to be settling too. We're a long way from where we need to be as a side, but I'm not feeling the trepidation some many of seem to be. Bring it on.

I was saying much the same to my mate earlier.   I can't see Aberdeen sitting in, I expect them to be right up for it and have a go.  However, it'll be down to us to show quality in the right moments, something we haven't always managed.

Due to working commitments, I enjoyed "only" those 5 mins of highlights ... and the groans and moans of our German board's admin ... (wonder why they didn't rule out Diomande's goal, looked somewhat offside).

Probably because it wasn't offside.

We didn’t play very well but we won imagine if we had one decent half back who could spray passes about with those two terrier’s Raskin and Barron either side of him

If the Rangers job were to become available, Graham Potter WOULDbe interested in taking the role. 

That's according to a former England goalkeeper.

Paul Robinson claims he knows for a FACT that the former Swansea, Brighton and Chelsea head coach would be interested in potentially becoming Rangers manager.

Potter was touted with a switch north of the border this time last year after Michael Beale's sacking. 

Philippe Clement, of course, took over and has been in the game for a little over 12 months now.

Potter was believed to be in the picture for the England national team job, but Thomas Tuchel was appointed two weeks ago. 

With Erik ten Hag dismissed by Manchester United this morning, it seems Potter's name has already been linked with the hotseat at Old Trafford. 

He's been out of a job for around 18 months since he left Chelsea, and in a recent appearance on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, he revealed he's waiting for his next opportunity in coaching.
