GOAT 30,449 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Whether it's King living up to his promises or a share issue. After tonight's embarrassment for the tarriers and losing out the CL pot of gold, we are not that far behind them, some major investment in time for next season and we can challenge them straight away.Tonight is massive IMO for us, them getting a £15-20m kitty could have been a disaster for us.

G.E.C. 18,693 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Delia's ineptness in the CL will more or less cost them 10IAR. I hope he has a job for life there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My mhank mate from work was making a big deal over the fact I was supporting Malmö.Except for the fact the whole of Scottish football would not support us in Europe and wish us dead, I told him I don't want the gap getting any bigger.Anyway, Celtic need us back challenging, how have the faired in Europe ever since we left the spl?

Duncan Disorderly 182 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They'll turn on him now that's for sure. Big Virgil will be off quicker than a priest deleting his hard drive. Anyway, the concept of sporting integrity and sell out Saturday's has come back and bit them. They have been downsizing over the last three years and if they thought a combination of Ciftci and Rughead Griffiths were going to shoot them into the CL then they were feckin deluded. It's Karma Timothy and the Magic Hat is coming to get you. Chortle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_Laudrup_legend 6 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Agree. our squad from now to January is fine, in January we should be looking for id say at least one addition (improvement to current first 11) and possibly a further 1/2 on pre contracts for the summer, and then the summer with another 1 along with a couple of fringe players. Then, I think we'd be equipped to go toe to toe with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Disaster for them, brilliant for us.They will struggle to get over 30 thousand at the shithole now unless they draw us.Be interesting to see how we go about our business next season, buzzing already.

Frank Reynolds 3,359 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They weren't convincing when we played in January, and the team we had was fucking dreadful, with a worse manager.It won't take much for us to challenge, not if tonight is anything to go by Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I don't agree with a single word of this. We don't need major investment, we need a scouting system that will get us value for money; the manager said value, and he proved adept at doing that. We have a manger who will look at Auchenhowie, and what we can produce there, and astute signings that will bring value on and off the park. There is a long term objective at this club now, and if we do this properly then it could lead to bright days ahead. Warburton will bring this club to the top, and he is already showing that he can possibly do that in a way we can afford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The press will start with all the negative Rangers stories they have to deflect from this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanjo 26,321 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They are in complete denial...that is the funniest thing about it. Celtc are a Europa League team and they are too ashamed to admit and accept it. Malmo are not that much better than we are, and I've said it for 18 months now... if we were given £5m for transfer fees and and increased salary cap, we will challenge them. They are scared. We know it, they know it. We are coming and it's going to be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Still think we're a fair bit behind Celtic at the moment despite the early promise. And spending great lumps and expecting players to gel and respond right away plus show consistency over the course of the season is a massive ask. I agree them not having the extra 10-15m from group stage qualification is a boost for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the ghuest count below? They're turfed out of their hole but still grope for Rangers' fans websites. Anyway, got some good news Bhoys67, Young Boys are in the Europa League - mmmmm you like that don't you?? Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You should pick your mates more carefullyLol He's one of the very few that likes football and can get a banter with, other than him there's a Motherwell fan, hibs fan (been off sick ever since we beat them at ibrox) and a Newcastle fan. A few rangers fans but they are sure based.None of them are bitter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,571 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We never have been that far behind them...I have always said we should be challenging them for the league at the first go I still believe we will be get them into march/April next year within 4/5 points and we will win that league they have went backwards in 3 years but more importantly they still bottle it under pressure Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWAC 2,234 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We don't need major investment, we need investment and investment spent wisely.

DamienM855 413 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We really could challenge them for the title in the next 2-3 years. They've relied on their scouting network to replace quality departing players with youngsters for too long, and haven't brought in anyone of real quality (besides Gordon) for a while. Boyata, Bitton, Armstong and Allan are hardly good replacements for Van Djik, Wanyama, Ledley and Hooper. If we buy well, and build on the team we have at the moment, we can beat them. We'll need to add a bit of physicality in Midfield, sort out the defence, and get a clinical goalscorer upfront. 3 more quality signings, and a year of the current team gelling and improving, then we can challenge. A few more signings after that, and with a year of SPL football under our belts, we would have as good a chance as any to win the league.
