Ok. Thanks I didn't say I voted first because I had a strong belief that this will happen but because it is what Rangers should always expect. I think it is clear from the rest of my post I am not confident of us being 1st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 If we finish second but are within 10pts of Celtic that would be a good season for us. We finished 39pts behind them last year and narrowing the gap by as much as 29pts would be a huge improvement from us. If we can get a coupe of quality wide players in before the end of the window I think we can do just that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I just don't know where we'll finish up this season. Normally I'd say 1st, but we've not been normal for a few years now. I'd like for us to win something this year, finish a lot closer to Them, and beat Them at least once in the league. I do think that, on paper, we've got some decent players in our squad this year, Pedro needs to get them performing well, and instill a winning mentality. No more draws with, Ross County, Motherwell, and Hamilton, at home. Ibrox must be a fortress once more, other teams should fear coming to Ibrox. We have a certain standard to maintain, as a football club, don't want another season of disappointing results... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are spending at least twice as much on player assets and are streets ahead of us in terms of quality. We can't currently compete with them which is why we finished 39pts behind them last season. Hopefully we'll make progress and reach a point whereby we can compete but we're not there now. You can't ignore that reality and simply say 'aye, but we're Rangers and I expect us tae win!' Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKaiJohansen 118 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 We should do second at a canter, but I don't really expect us to pose too much of a challenge to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
