Yep. And 4 of those players we knew about in plenty of time to do something about it. Imagine we had done something really crazy like asked Alfie to just take a week off and then another couple of weeks in Jan. Mental idea.

Oh jesus, the 'Itten should get games' job dont like this at all...

Hahahaha genuinely laughed at that. Thank you.

No I wouldn't have been buzzing at all. I would have said 'are you telling me we will play an away CL qualifier with Itten, Sakala and Wright to lead the line? Supported by Arfield and Davis'

Sakala has quite a leap on him, can peak at 5ft 4 if he gets up early!

Who else is excited at the prospect of a front 3 of Sakala, Itten and Wright! Let's get into Dunfermline!

For some players they are tasting the reality of playing for a big club. Champions League, 50K fans etc. Its not for everyone, and now there is a light shining on the imposters.

The last Columbia game was 7th July, come on FFS. He was almost back in time, so why not just come a few days earlier? Its not like he played a huge amount. Anyway, we are out and Itten was the main striker in the first leg.

They will be saying to themselves 'I looked in their eyes and I could see fear and doubt' Their left back will be saying 'why did their captain keep kicking the ball at me?'

Honest question: do you really think another big club would allow their star player to miss the biggest game in a decade for the sake of a couple of days?

LOL this is funny. People were so excited by his goal again Madrid but its obvious he's one of those 'head down and run' type players. A poor mans Nacho Novo. Terrible summer recruitment. Imagine this team without Alfie. Dear god.

But the best bit, imagine allowing your best striker to come back just late enough to miss the first leg! We preach professionalism and then act like a Micky Mouse club.

If I was the board, I'd best asking Gerrard 'why didnt you play Helander since you said he was CL quality?' Answer 'the Wigan reject can run a wee bit faster'

Tav and Barisic are the biggest cowards in the team. Too happy to pass it backwards and give someone else the responsibility. Tav is never a Rangers captain, did he once look like firing the team up tonight? No, too busy hitting the first man with every cross.

Too many players not good enough for this level and we didnt gamble in the transfer market. As fans we get too carried away with 'prospects' like Wright. He has plenty of potential but look at his numbers, we shouldn't be relying on the boy. Arfield has lost his legs and never had a huge amount of ability to begin with. Tav is great when things are going well. Played terrible again and couldn't beat the first man. Now is the time for Patterson to get his chance.
