It's surely got to be... "Diomande, Diomande..." to the "Dee-Oh-De-Dae" bit. Someone better than me can sort the details, I'm a big picture kinda guy.

Objectively, McInnes is the second best manager in the league, behind Rodgers. That said, the fact he's turned us down previously should automatically exclude him from consideration. A couple of bad results and things would get toxic very quickly.

Wouldn't be against that either. Just don't fancy any of the names mentioned, so would rather wait until the summer and see if there's anyone better available. If do so, I'd rather have someone experienced at the helm until then than a rookie, as there's still a lot to play for this season. Like I say, it one of the older heads gets a tune can consider extending, if not, nothing lost.

Ha, I posted this almost word for word - great minds and all that.

I'll probably get pelters, but I'd offer it to Warnock until the end of the season and the reassess. We need someone to get the best out of a poor bunch and Warnock has previous for that. At his age he might take a short term deal. If he does well, extend it. If not, look again in the summer, as I don't see any outstanding candidates available just now anyway.

This is the thing that annoys me. Him not being a good manager isn't his fault, nor is it his fault he was promoted to a position he'd done nothing to merit. But coming out with pish excuses is an insult to the intelligence of the supporters.

As predictable as it is depressing.

Then he's the only one. Also, when did the whole '3 games in 7 days' become an issue. Robson was coming out with it too after Aberdeen's game midweek. It's what happens if you're playing in Europe. Or a midweek cup game. Or any midweek game. And it's always been the same. It's another pathetic excuse.

If he tries to use injuries an excuse - We've no defensive or goalkeeper injuries. Lundstram has arguably been our best midfielder this season. He paid >£1m to brin in Cifuentes early, so presumably he thought he'd be a starter. He paid >£7m for Dessers and Lammers, so he obviously thought they'd be starters Sima is a loan, so obviously wasn't brought in to develop, i.e. he wanted to play him now. In summary, yes we've got injuries, but they wouln't be affecting us nearly as much if his recruitment hadn't been so awful. Also, Van Bronckhorst had 11 players out at one point and it didn't save him.

Not only was Ibrox in a computer game, but back in the 2000s there was a Rangers Playstation game. It was part of a series of games that were based around individual clubs, called Club Football. I bought it at the time. I see to remember they even had a horrific version of Alex McLeish in it. I thought I'd dreamt it but then found this...

Don't think the league is as done and dusted as everyone seems to think. If we go there and win (big if) doubt will start to creep into their minds. They are, by and large, a squad that has never won a league. Still tricky games to come. All ifs and buts, and we're massive outsiders, but it certainly isn't all over.

Exactly - imagine we're playing Hearts and Souttar is in their team, knowing that if we don't win it dents his chances of playing CL next season. It's actually mental when you think about it.

This 100%. Given the financial implications of the league this year, and how light we've been at centre-back lately, I think it's a no-brainer.

Eternal optimist... But if Gerrard is approached, turns it down flat-out and states that he has unfinished business here, then it would actually be a huge morale boost to the whole squad. Admittedly, we'd be in the exact same position we are now, but after all the speculation, it would almost feel like a new signing.

He's really not. For the record, I don't want him anywhere near the Rangers job, but his record at Aberdeen was good for a long period. Not brilliant, but good. I'm not claiming he's a great manager, and I repeat I want him nowhere near Rangers, but he's certainly not terrible.
