*** The Official Rangers V Aberdeen Match Thread ***

At last we showed some spirit and determination. Hill will be a loss as I think he's getting better with every game. I was pleased to see waggy looking like his old self full of desire and he looked like hed slimmed down too

[Siam69 26,872]

Great team performance.

Don't think you could single out anyone who played bad.  Definitely some heart and desire shown today.

Warburton has been slaughtered lately, he got it right today, and also must get some credit to instilling some heart and desire back in the team.

Sheep had a couple of ten minute spells in both halves where they looked on top, but overall we certainly deserved that.

The team needed it, the manager needed it, and we, the support, most certainly needed it.

That result might have saved the manager his job, or stopped his resigning if things still continued to slide.

Hopefully some much needed confidence back, Hill was solid today, a blow for the Hearts game, but we need to build on this and get the result.

[Bruno's Manbun 2,631]

A solid performance today tainted by a truly awful referee. Standard of refereeing is abysmal in Scotland. Score was 2-0 as far as I'm concerned. They should never have had that free kick. 

Back 4 and Wes were brilliant. Midfield was tenatious and the attacking 3 worked well. Stark contrast to that shambles we had to endure mid week. 

Delighted that 25 year record is still in tact ? WATP

Does Clint Hill miss Hearts or is it different for a two booking sending off?

[Sparkle 53,557]

Just in. Some brilliant performances in our team today, some of the forward play was a joy to watch and - just great to put the upstarts back in their place ??

 

[RDFM 3,809]

Thought McKay played particularly well today.

[kaiser1041 9,088]

Keirnan was way more aggressive than usual and that was a bonus

Good to see a fair few strong tackles going in. Haven't seen that for ages.

[writingranger 1,413]

same again against hearts number next week. Nothing less. Shame Hill will miss it. Hodson is also solid. It's solidity we need right now to build confidence and collect points

Does anyone else think Tav did well in that Windass midfield role or am I talking mince

I don't think so, he showed desire when he came on, looked to have the touch back that we seen so often last year.

Hopefully he puts his head down in training and gets a regular spot back.

 

just going by him and warburton at the end of the game ? maybe reading it wrong 

[eosmhdo 1,879]

Much needed win, delighted ?????

Yeah I think you're reading it wrong, they shook hands at the end of the game, there was no animosity.

[TheBluebells 6,898]

That atmosphere was incredible, I can barely speak. 

Some fight and determination, that's what we want, was good to see. 

Still never beat us at Ibrox in my lifetime, get it right fucking up them. 

[TheBluebells 6,898]

Also, the ref is a fucking scumbag

[jackrfc95 4,255]

Rob Kiernan.

Considering his woeful performances a at the start of the season, fair to play him. Was good today and seems to be a leader in that team now. 

To top it off sheep player shoving Holt at the end, Kiernan comes over grabs him and fucks him away.

Well done to him, hope he can keep it up. 

[Gandalf007 52]

No eye contact though compared to other players, however, he did look like a guy trying to win his place back!

[Barbarrosa 124]

Great win but losing Hill is a sore one

Your pre match defeatism and basically implying I was daft for expecting the win today - delusional I think you said! 

[Rangersfansmediawatch 1,055]

Went for a draw before the game,much better performance today with plenty of fight,Thought Garner was superb today and won nearly everything in the air and an absolute terrier,Hill played very well today,Good subs also.

The referee ruined the game for me and made some bizarre decisions,Aberdeen blatant handball in the air was laughable and totally wrong decision which then led to an Aberdeen free kick that shouldn't have been.

Unsure if Hill will be suspended for next week as sure it's a straight red card misses you the next game and two yellows kick in a couple of weeks later,Not 100% though.

Good also to see Waghorn back and looked good in his short appearance.

I'd just like to congratulate Aberdeen on winning at Ibrox for the first time in 25 years.

Best overall performance since the SC Semi Final.  Not flawless, but at times we played some really good football today.

Well said, but still a work in progress, Night and Day from Wednesday.
