RockwellGers 14,712 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 All he's really saying is that the dressing room believes we can win the league. Nothing wrong with that. Only thing I don't agree with in that quote is that celtic were "probably" the better team on Sunday, they clearly were far better (although they're not as good as they think they are) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 What's said and reported creates news and reaction to what's been said. He'll have known that when he said what he said. Time will tell whether his statement bears out of "Everyone in the Rangers dressing room believes that we’ll get 55 and that this will be the year we’ll win the league." It's good that they have that collective belief and desire otherwise why are they there. Having made that sort of public statement it puts additional onus - and pressure - is on Lafferty and the squad to live up to it. Rangers expects.

Best keep the scum complacent and arrogant then we can take advantage of it. Public announcements like this just get them pumped up and ready for us. Think it, act on it - Yes Talk about it publicly - only when we are the team on top, even then it’s I’ll advised.

With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 here we go the players should shut up till they have a reason to brag or give it the big yin about being able to compete , instead of blowing smoke up their own arse less than a week after getting beat off the vermin We clearly cant compete yet and none of our players should be giving the taigs digs until they actually beat them Its just an empty meaningless statement until they prove it on the pitch. Shut the fuck up and concentrate on your game instead of swaggering about in the papers talking about a title we're no where near winning yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneva_ger 9,331 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Nothing wrong with saying this. If he had said "we don't think we're strong enough etc" then he would be equally hounded. Get a grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMax399 3,704 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 You have to set high standards, otherwise all you are doing is preparing to fail, and they have to believe that they can win it this year. I have no issue with him saying it, but we need to deliver it on the pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,723 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 10 March 18 Davie Hay: Rangers noise-up gives celtic all the motivation they need. "In the build-up to tomorrow’s game we have heard a whole lot of noise this week. And you can be assured that behind closed doors at Lennoxtown that it’ll be used to further motivate the celtic players – if any further motivation was indeed required. Put it this way, if I was in the shoes of either the players or the managers, you’d be keen to go out and prove a point or two. You always want to go into the games and make sure that you are ready to stand up to the challenge but in a week in which celtic’s dominancy has been questioned then I think as a player you want to go out and show why you are in that position." Not as if he's had any experience of this, managed one half of the old firm etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
