Today was a case of two teams playing poorly with some individual brilliance.

To lose with an extra man for 30 minutes is unacceptable!

Wouldn't give anyone bar maybe John pass marks. Some players had good moments ie Candeias but his final ball 8 times out of 10 was absolutely hopeless.

His and Tavernier's crossing in particular were laughable.

Get real. Compare it to the recent games where we've been pumped by that mob and deservedly so. We want to be winning the league again and today there was a game that could easily have gone either way.

We've got a stronger team, gelling as a unit, with a couple of proper Rangers men in the mix....

It's getting better.

It's getting better when we start beating them, Rangers minded players in the modern game won't simply start winning games because they support the club, better players and a strong management team will.

[G.E.C. 18,712]

Sorry but I don’t think we have a chance in the cup. They’ll have Armstrong and Griffiths back and too much quality on the day. We won’t have any bottle.

[keithgersbear 3,225]

Still lost but without a doubt the gap is closer as shown by the league table. The job is to make sure we get closer and eventually go above them. Which will happen, it's a matter of time.

They have two games in hand though, gap could end up 15 points sooner rather than later.

Well said OP,nothing wrong wi a glass half full approach

If Murty had acted a lot quicker with his substitutions, maybe Cummings and Holt for Windass and Goss - maybe, just maybe it could have gone the other way, even with Morelos' misses.

We're not far away, a better tactician than Murty imho

It was well over 20+ last season. Can't be denied that Rangers have improved in the league this season. 

[Copland bear 7,966]

1-0 up the 2-1 up then 2-2 against 10 men and they still could not win.   We showed them to much respect today and did not go for the throat.  

If we can't beat them at Ibrox against a depleted shite celtic team, then what chance have we at Hampden?  

[ronniemca 479]

Pace,strength,mentality,we are nowhere near them.when we scored our goals we didn't have a fuckin clue what to do ,nobody to put their foot on the ball and control the tempo of the game .instead we went into full panic mode giving away corners galore and free kicks all over the place until they equalised.we will finish 15/18 points behind and get an absolute doing at hampden,but yes things are getting better .my fuckin arse.

[cushynumber 25,178]

im a little torn between being bitterly disappointed how we played/ getting beat and putting my sensible head on a realising that Rome wasn't built in a day AND THEN looking at the last two games and the sitters we missed.

Gutted as anyone by the result. League is over, end of.

However...all things considered we could easily have won today. Fucking EASILY!!!

We started brilliantly and responded brilliantly to the equaliser. We showed defensive flaws, yes, and we failed to press home our advantage when they went to 10 men. And of course they clinically converted their sole chance to steal the match. But... we took the game to them; we were NOT intimidated or outplayed; and we dominated for sustained periods.  THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.

Let's have it right. We WERE THEIR EQUAL TODAY AT THE VERY LEAST!

The tendency for SO MANY people to suddenly point fingers and criticise when we lose is fucking taig-like and usually an attempt to curry favour with other posters.

King was a total socket to appoint Caixinha and THAT is what cost us this season. [SIDE THOUGHT - What if Murty had been kept on after Warbs and been given the chance to spend some money?? Where would we be now??] 

Take the positive fellow Bears. We CAN beat them in the cup. Brenda is a self-satisfied tosser due for a fall (he choked with the scouse; he will ultimately choke with these). We CAN win the cup and we CAN mount a serious challenge next season - God willing we will stop Ten Tainted Titles in a row. 

On a different day it would have been 3-2 or 4-2 to the Queen's Eleven.

Fuck any cunt trying to conduct a post mortem or what is WRONG with us. We are the Glasgow Rangers and we are coming back. Compare today with how we played under Caixinha. Today, we were a strong unit and we played with belief for long spells. We need to support this team because it is OUR team. It cost a whole lot LOT less than Septic's and we have an "stand in" interim manager that has done a fucking SHED LOAD more than the "first choices". Fuck Warburton and his trendy credentials, fuck Caixinha (who the fuck??), fuck McInnes and his minor sheep-shagging triumphs. We are the fucking GLASGOW Rangers!!! We fucking built Scotland as an industrial nation let alone the national game.

Today had MASSIVE positives. Bates was excellent until stretchered off (deliberate from Rogic imo). Tav was strong, Murphy and Goss too, and DOCHERTY was a brilliant workhorse chasing everything down in defense and midfield and thwarting many a septic offensive. Candeais was excellent, Tav did his thing; Bruno fought like a lion in the air, Fod made several crucial saves. If only Alfredo had hit the net instead of the post towards the end - or done something creative with his other one-on-one opportunity...

Morelos has been off the pace last couple of games but has shown he can be lethal; and personally, I think Cummings can shine for us but needs the confidence of a few starts...

So...we may have lost, but this was a closer game than the ones we have drawn. All these defeatist "fault finding" threads are symptomatic of a watered down mhedia-battered generation of Rangers fan that is hard for an older Bear like myself to recognise. Criticise when criticism is valid, otherwise SUPPORT THE GREATEST FOOTBALL CLUB IN THE WORLD as per your birth right.

Stay off the crack ye London plank!! They were at half strength FFS a still outscored us with 10 men.   Open your eyes for heaven's sake.  A ping-pong match has more balls than the current Rangers team

Murty has had a nightmare of a job attempting to put right what our last three managers have got wrong and overall has done a good job but opportunities like today have to be seized like Kilmarnock took their chance against them and Hearts did by absolutely pumping them.

If you take the long view and say we're still a work in progress then fine but that shouldn't excuse every time we bottle it when we have a chance to do something.

Away and get fucked, honestly, just fuck off with this rallying cry shite.

Birthday card pish you hear after a defeat to them. Fucking howling stuff tbh

We got beat and we deserved to get beat, we however should never have been beat but the manager fucked it and the players bottle crashed.

Today has showed me we can win that game.

I feel more optimistic than under Pedro or MW.

Truth is its somewhere in between but it'll take 2/3days for the emotion to calm. 

[The Godfather 71,715]

And if we don't beat them in the cup what then? Will it be the 8th or 9th rallying cry from the OP? 

Will it be next time we will do it...but if not then the time after that then if not that one 110% the time after that.

Just pish 

[Blue72 1,098]

Just pissed off - Morelos two sitters and slightly better defending and we beat them pretty comfortably 

fairly even on stats tbh we need to strengthen but last two games frustration is at missed opportunities, that in itself is a big step forward from where we were but just not far enough

Fair enough. I hated losing this but we should have won it.

That's good. I prefer going in as underdogs as we do better that way.  A bit much last week of, we will do this and that.

We are progressing that is for sure. Gutted because today's the first time since Warburton cup semi I expected to get the 3 points tbh.

Rangers from next season should be pushing strongly for the title absolutely no excuses now
