Why do we have to suffer Sutton for Sky and Stewart on Sportscene?
Neither have the ability to remain impartial.
They take every opportunity to try and advance the myth that every decision goes against celtic.
With the clear intention of increasing the pressure on officials. 
Both were embarrassing today.

Brilliant 

Nights like this no matter win lose of draw I’m so grateful My Dad brought me up a Ranger and now my kids carry this on.
The fans tonight were outstanding again 
drive on and get the league now Rangers

For the first time in a long time I'm not disappointed going out of Europe. It's been great, don't get me wrong, but as everyone can see, our squad just can't cope in 3 competitions. Although we were poor for spells tonight, we still ran them very close. 
Hopefully now we can get our squad back to near full fitness for the last push for the title.

A sad day but that video is absolute class from Clement and the club. Rangers standards so strong there. Hope there is a role for him that he feels he can add something. 

A fine servant to the club who was a class act on and off the park, he carried himself in the way I expect from a Rangers player.
Good luck to him and thanks for everything 

A very Happy New Year to you all when it comes, and all the best for 2024 for you and yours.
That goes for you all, even if we argue like an old married couple on here 😁 
Just like to take a moment and remember everyone we've lost. It's not always easy, but we kick on.
To absent friends (and family)🍷

We can’t sit and take this up the arse. Fuck that. It’s time these fuckers were called out. Sorry mate, I disagree. Big Phil will get us on the right track though. Those cunts could not afford to lose that game today. They know we’re getting stronger. Stinking bastards! 

He has 100% turned our season around and deserves huge credit for what he’s done so far.
There’s a league title to be won and we’re in the driving seat.
Another turbulent year for us but Merry Christmas everyone have a great day

Hutton was basically telling him he was a dick the whole way through.

Was part of the team who cycled from Edinburgh to Paris to raise cash for Doddie Weir's MND charity.
Class but expected from Super.

We assert our legal rights, we tell Doncaster about our contract BEFORE he made the Cinch deal yet he ignores it and does the deal anyway.
And he is still in a job????
WTF!!!!

The aftermath of an Old Firm defeat is traditionally characterised by crashing waves of emotion and frustration as we mentally torture ourselves with replays of key moments and re-run the reasons that the latest particular result slipped away from us on derby day. But not this time. Not anymore. 
The familiarity of defeat in these games has become disconcertingly common to the extent that the usually sharp edges of despair have been blunted almost to the point of indifference. Of course we never quite reach that red line of not caring but I find myself softened by the expectation of this Rangers team being perennially inferior to our rivals. 
The post-mortem of the weekend’s match at Parkhead revealed a familiar killer: schoolboy errors. They may have been assisted by the referee and his VAR colleagues who appear to have been robbed of the gift of sight but the fact remains that we were conspirators in our own downfall once again. We didn’t just shoot ourselves in the foot, we blew the fucker clean off. 
The manager selected a line-up that would have received approval or at least acceptance from the majority of supporters and we did look to have a better shape and organisation out of possession. But despite the team being more or less our strongest available and despite probably matching Celtic in general play it was the key areas at both ends where the difference was found. 
We weren’t dominated like Hampden. We weren’t torn apart or destroyed on the wings. But that counts for nothing when you proceed to gift-wrap two utterly horrendous goals to our opponents while being too hesitant and wasteful at the opposite end. Where Celtic would cut through our defence and create an opportunity, we hesitated or chose the wrong option once again. It’s a recurring theme with the same culprits and I’m fed up watching it. 
I wrote before the League Cup Final about the need for Michael Beale to lay down a marker and erode the psychological and mental advantage that our Glasgow rivals have seen carry them through these games for far too long. We failed horrendously then and we failed on Saturday. Each win bolsters their confidence and dents ours. They emerge from these games with a swagger resulting from repeated victories while we meekly shuffle uncomfortably down the tunnel with our tails between our legs, promising that we’ll do better next time. 
And yet as I write the above I struggle to raise much more than a shrug. I find myself mentally writing off the coming weeks and willing the season to end so we can get to the summer and finally consign this team to the history books, books on which they’ve made such an insignificant mark. There will be no fanfare and no rapturous applause from the stands of Ibrox Stadium as players shadows of their former selves depart down the tunnel for the final time. There will simply be relief, relief that we will no longer have to endure some of the team who have become characterised by persistent failure.
Sure we have been unfortunate with injuries at times but you only have to revisit Connor Goldson’s comments after the Hampden humiliation by Hibs to get a sense of this team’s character or lack thereof. One title and our hunger had dissipated. One. It’s pathetic. 
The summer provides a natural transition as many contracts expire and players who have been here for too long leave for pastures new. I wouldn’t be rushing out to renew many of them, perhaps save for Ryan Jack, as they’ve simply proved time and time again that they are not at the level required to deliver even moderately consistent success. Change always comes with risk but that risk surely outweighs the known quantity of sticking with something we’ve known to deliver too few shiny things over a prolonged period of time.
The players aren’t solely to blame because many should have been moved on by the club before now. We have failed to sell and reinvest at the opportune times and the staleness post-55 has delivered a staggering regression that’s put the club back into the early to mid Gerrard era in terms of falling behind Celtic. Even now we’ve spent money, increased the wage bill again and yet the return on that investment has reduced. 
Celtic sold their Croatian international full-back and bought a replacement for half the price and you’d never notice. Giakoumakis was allowed to leave for a modest price and yet they haven’t really been weakened judging by their continued goalscoring exploits. We on the other hand have a 41-year old goalkeeper, a £7m winger leaving for nothing and a key striker who has spent most of the season unfit or overweight and with no obvious replacement. 
The above suggests that those within the club are either incredibly resistant to change or they completely lack any faith in our recruitment model to find and sign adequate alternatives. Neither are remotely excusable when all we are fed are soundbites about being ‘best in class’. Christ, Celtic overtook us with no Director of Football, with their CEO resigning after a couple of months and an unknown manager going through his phonebook for summer signings. 
If there is one positive I can take is that I firmly believe we have the right manager in Michael Beale. On Saturday I think we saw glimpses of what his team may look like in terms of shape, organisation and pressing. The form we’ve been on can’t really be criticised if we look back at what he inherited and the results he has achieved with a squad that’s begging to be put out of its misery. 
The rough edges though can only be polished off by fresh faces. The weekend’s match was not a tactical defeat or one that was lost in general play. The difference was in individuals. At one end we were hesitant and blunt in attack meanwhile at the other we made errors not worthy of amateur football. And Celtic capitalised with the ruthlessness we should probably have come to expect and fear. 
As we look to the summer therefore we might have the right manager, and I believe we do, but without the required financial backing we’re sending him into battle with one hand tied behind his back. The board therefore must find the finances to fund the required rebuild. Money will be freed up with the expiration of contracts, we could perhaps sell a Kamara or Hagi for a few bob but we will need more than that to fully strengthen the squad to a level where we can have a realistic expectation of success. 
I’m not normally one for the scorched earth approach and tend to be more calm and measured in my reaction but I am so done with this team that I’d happily drive many of them to the airport or to their next club destination. Some have given us great memories, sure, and I’m happy to savour many of them but at Rangers life is very much ‘what have you done for us lately’ and lately all we’ve had in return is domestic inferiority. 
We have one more meaningful match on the calendar between now and the end of the season as things stand. It’ll be two if we win it. Silverware has very much been the exception rather than the rule with this particular Rangers side but please, just please can we close this chapter with one final exception and allow at least some moderate dignity to be salvaged from the decaying trajectory of this squad. 
It might not be the last dance but hopefully for many it should certainly be the last curtain call.

Him and Tav are the only ones with pass marks. 
The rest were shite. Especially Kent. He can fuck off.

Nothing has changed.
Three managers set up not to lose, rather than take chances to win.
Three managers have set up the team with two DMs.
Three managers refuse to give youth a chance, including Patterson, who only played when Tav got injured.
The pressure as a Rangers manager is huge, but until managers stop worrying about their own tenure and implement their own beliefs, nothing will change.

I have a feeling that may be the case, but the only way to know for sure is let them sink or swim.
 
We play enough games carrying underperforming senior players, are we really saying that we aren’t good enough to have an academy player or two on the pitch against the likes of Kilmarnock or St Mirren for example?
 
Also got to remember it is a massive thing for an academy player to be making a debut / first couple of appearances. Beyond giving them a “taste” of what it is like there is little use in giving them 10 min at the end of a game once every couple of months. We need to be giving them prolonged exposure (and in situations where there is something in the game to be played for if we are certain they aren’t going to shit the bed) to give them time to adjust and build confidence that they can perform at this level.
 
Given that the season is pretty much done bar the Scottish Cup what are we actually learning (and possibly looking forward to as fans - the attendance this weekend is going to be an interesting barometer) from starting with Kamara / Kent / Morelos / Lundstrum / Sakala / take your pick vs. giving say Lowry a start and bringing on Lovelace?

There needs to be a big overhaul in the summer , if there isn’t then we are handing them next seasons title aswell . Yesterday is my last time allowing myself to delude myself into believing this squad of outright losers and bottlers will turn up when it matters. Will be glad to see the back of most of them truth to be told 
Complete change of mentality is required at this club 

Rangers number one.  No ifs or buts.  Absolutely outstanding at 40 year old tonight.  We can thank him it wasn’t another pumping. 

That's some aircraft btw fit for the queen. Not often I can say am proud of Scotland but since the Queen passed the best of our country has shown 💙

Heading to RAF Northolt today to wave one final goodbye to our Queen. 
 
With the wait times being quoted it’s just not practical to see her lying in state but still feel the need to say goodbye and thank you. 
 
Also I’d like to put a special mention in for Anne. She has been outstanding throughout this whole process. Unbelievable dedication to duty.
