And So How Far Have We Now Come

[BlueKnight87 17,275]

9 games unbeaten in Europe. 

It's amazing how far we've come. There is a real fight and desire in this team.

It makes you proud as fuck. 

[Gman36 3,455]

Fucking amazing result 

[Iggy666 2,880]

Gerrard is the fucking man. What he has done with us so far is top top managing. He's gonna be up there with the likes of pep and zidane imho. I fucking love him. Hope we have him for as long as humanly possible.

Wasn't  happy at all with the first half. Players looked to have no belief when they had the ball and kept giving it away cheaply but full credit to them second half, they came out and gave us performance to be proud of

This........ As with the scum game we gave them to much respect and backed off them in the 1st half, then played much more like the way we can in the 2nd half. 

[Big Al 55 9,241]

How many 1st team players did they actually leave out?

[jamess 3,407]

Now playing as a team with players understanding what they are being asked to do. Big step forward compared to the amateurs who came before.

To come back twice and almost nick it at the end shows what this team can do. 

I just wish they would believe it as well. 

[FSM 20,892]

In a way I'm glad they scored, because it forced us to go attack them in the second half and look what happened. 

[RFC55 108,685]

How far have we to.go

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,603]

We were bawhairs away from a pummeling.  

We somehow got a draw, credibility, and could have snatched a winner.

Credit goes to every player and the management team. Pot 4 against pot 1 should have been easy points on their board. So proud ??

[Sparkle 53,501]

Being behind twice but never giving up.  Did someone say no surrender?

Mate we nearly won that. They had 2 clear cut chances bar the goals Ffs.

Nowhere near a pummeling

Spot on. Would love to know what Gerrard said to give them belief again. What a fantastic appointment he's proving to be

Not sure you can really say at this stage who is a first team player. They've been poor in the league, quite possible they changed things up in an attempt to find their strongest team

[KingKirk 25,595]

When we play our game we are the best team in scotland. The players need to believe we are a good team because we are and thats credit to the management.

[Colin Traive 22,694]

To put it in context:

- there are 48 teams in the EL at this stage

- a team from Pot 4, ranked 45th out of 48, has just fought back twice, away from home, for a draw with a team from Pot 1, ranked 10th out of 48.

Outstanding!

From the hedge at Brechin, to being slightly disappointed with a 2-2 draw in Spain against a side worth at least £70m.

What a club, what a man 

The hedge ? held me up.

[Shuggy 1,308]

I thought that was going to be the toughest of all the six games. Actually I'm hoping that was the toughest match!

 

[Smile 26,600]

We grew into the game I said a draw would be a fantastic result for us and it was if we had a wee bit more belief in ourselves we could have won it in the end.

They had 2 great chances with headers that went close but should have scored, McGregor dived low to his right with a stunning save, they carved us open at least twice and a poor touch let them down, a Tav deflection saved a good shot on target. They had plenty good chances, not 2.

What I was meaning was more that the fine margins saved us mostly from losing a second after a 1st minute goal against. I really feared for us all 1st half. Yet somewhere out of all that we could and should have taken the lead.

We were as good 2nd half as we were bad 1st and could have walked away pumped as likely as with 3 points.

Makes me wonder what might have been if we’d just had a go at the tattiedome. SG said tonight, “ we felt we could hurt them” and there’s no doubt they’re a better side than the scum 11.

Arfields chance at the end, was unlucky. 

Aye but they missed a couple of sitters so all in all I'm delighted, but if Arfield had scored..... 

I said before the game started a 1-1 draw but my head was saying more likely 2-0 defeat so I'm buzzing.  Still can't believe we had managers who just spouted a pile of shite and thought that a loss was acceptable and now we have Stevie G, a manager who gets what our club means and the players playing with passion! It's a total transformation. 

Still buzzing!! ????

I only got home from work just before our second goal, but from what I saw we didn’t look outclassed or out of place playing at this level. The step up in class of our opposition can only be good for our players, and how bloody good is it to see Rangers playing in Europe again!! 

Weve come so far, and I still think there so much more to come from this team and Gerrard!

Usual when playing so called bigger teams we look scared, then again 2nd half realize they are pish
