Get Barry Ferguson on your list. He is just your man for talking up unrealistic expectations on a shoestring.

For the final time, it doesn't matter who I have any list.

 

If it's unrealistic to expect to challenge in the SPL and win trophies, you shouldn't be supporting Rangers.

And we get a day less to prepare for a final

Is that how you’re supposed to choose a team to support?

Nope, never said that. 

 

I think it's unrealistic to expect Rangers NOT to be challenging for titles and trophies. 

 

If others think otherwise, fine but it's a demand and expectation that the players and manager need to understand.

He also said we should shut the doors if we don't win...

I was away hillwalking yesterday morning, so had to listen to game on radio driving back home from the hills. John Robertson was actually very good in his match analysis, was raving about our front 4/midfield movement, was refreshing to hear tbh, and took me by surprise. It's not often I've heard that recently, particularly from that outlet.

 

Great to see Igamane's continued growth.

I just can't see how we can.

 

My heart says yes, but my head says their better than us all over the pitch, especially in the forward areas

 

If they score first, we are in for a long, long afternoon. 

We beat them by taking our chances. We simply haven't done that in the last couple of matches against them. We've created chances but failed to convert them. Celtic will create chances, they are strong going forward and have goals throughout their side, but they also let their opponents create chances. In Scotland that's not been such a problem as the opponents are generally fairly average. Hibs could have scored 3 against them during the week for example. 
If, and it's a big if, but if we can start taking our chances against them then you never know. Goals change games, it's a cliche but it's true. Scoring goals has been a problem for us this season, then suddenly we score 14 goals in our last 4 games. If we can take our chances when they come, and I believe they will come, then Sunday will be a closer match than most are predicting.
