demise

Remember 2 years ago when THEY were handed the league? We had games in hand and would still have been more points behind than we are now but were convinced we could still win the league. Changed times eh?
For me we need to take the bull by the horns and go for it,all in. Roofe and Morelos up front,less fannying about wi the ball around the box,take on shots and stop f99king around at the back wasting time.

We all wanted to be back to where we were before we went into administration 
And thats exactly where we are. Playing shite football and scraping out wins while being extremely boring to watch. It was the exact same 15 year ago 😅

The problem is we have waited too long some players values have depreciated due to performances so we wont get the money we would have for the likes of Kamara - and we will definitely need to sell if we are actually going to bring in quality replacements.
Looking at the team I wouldnt be sad to see most of them leave, we are filled to the brim with players unable to stand up to the weight of the Rangers jersey and the expectations of supporters or they simply just dont care enough or have the desire. We are in my opinion at the stage of almost a complete rebuild in terms of core players in the starting 11 and players with the ability to impact off the bench. That is a massive failing of both manager (harsh as he is just in the door perhaps) and board. We should have added at least two or three permanent additions to the team capable of influencing results instantly (Souttar wasnt even going to be expensive) to push and inspire us over the line. Instead we have paid 2m quid for letting Ramsay use us as a rehab centre - he could well have an impact and prove me wrong which i truly hope happens but fuck me man 2m quid for this so far. 
Im sick of being so negative and feeling like a doomsayer but its unbelievable we are in this situation and if the unthinkable happens and they get the league and cup to get a treble then heads have to roll at both board and managerial level. Am done talking about this now as the more i think about all of this the more depressed im getting. 
I just want my team to stand up and prove me wrong :(
 

Im going to be more annoyed all the hard work in europe results in them getting automatic champions league windfall.
Thats what will wound us most.
Keeping goldson, barasic especially has cost us, both should have went in August or Jan.
Diallo and Ramsey signings should see wilson gone too. Ego signing which has us a laughing stock.
Not signing souttar is a massive fail.
Would like see Gio with his own players as we have serial losers still in our squad.
Need a real authoriate captain too who puts fear into the team.

They look a much better side than we do 

Goodwin saying the goal was offside. My arse.

As bad as today was, weirdly it was our best performance against Aberdeen this season. They have been shit yet it is the first time we have picked up 3 points. 

Roofe should be starting when fit besides Morelos now.
We don’t have enough goals in team for him to be sitting on bench.
Either play him off the right or replace Aribo with him or go 3-5-2 with him and alfie up top.

Thought the booing the Morelos was shocking to be honest. Barely any cunt could've been subbed and it wouldn't have been that big of a deal, no one was really ripping it up and we needed something.
One thing so far is Gio isn't too feart to try things if need be. Glad it "worked". Thought Roofe's pressure was decent and his movement was better than he has been for a wee while. 
If Roofe gets on that header of Sakala's we'd walk away 2-0 today.
Sakala is a fucking meme and nothing more. Will never be good enough at passing, crossing or finishing to play in our team consistently and reliably. 
Too much shite brought in by the scouting department in the last few windows and injuries leaves us without enough genuine quality in key areas. Sakala, Wright, Itten, Diallo. None of them are able to do much of anything if Morelos/Kent/etc aren't firing on all cylinders, game in game out.

Was my dad's 90th birthday today  been watching Rangers all of that time, Springburn man who has a soft spot for Petershill to, favorite player Jim Baxter.  2 mins after that photo was taken roofe scored 

Are you disregarding the fact the club partnered with Castore to produce a special edition 150th Anniversary kit that we didn’t even wear on our 150th Anniversary?!

To be fair he barely had any service. If he would win a long ball theres nobody to support him, as Kent and Sakala spend most of the time far away on the touchline. Even when we had corners there were like 4-5 players inside the box, i wonder if we ever won 1st ball of any of those corners today. On a bright note - Roofe won us Hibs in 85th minute and today vs sheep in 81st minute. The only after-80min wins this season. Hopefully it proves massive.

That was an experience of many emotions. Frustration at the 2 bus journey to Ibrox. 
Pride and nearly a few tears at the display and the entire feeling of being back in the East Enclosure was almost overwhelming. 
Brought back down to earth then became slightly angry at Rangers inept 1st half performance. Side pass, side pass, back pass punt seemed to be the entire mantra like tactic against the time wasting sheep shite. 
But the explosion of joy and relief at Roofe's winner made it all worthwhile. Walked back down PRW and over the Squinty Bridge into town. Heading home to Dads to order a takeaway. 
 

He’s a player I’d bring to the airport. He’s useless. 

Just back from the game. Another awful performance and by fuck we are struggling. I couldn’t see us scoring. Anyway 3 points is all that matters so well done the Champions 

Horrific performance, terrible attitude from the players and some crazy decisions from Gio
Fluked a win though so continues on to next week

People don’t realise it’s the attitude sometimes that gets you games. For all his faults, Arfield is a battler and will give his limbs for the points. Sometimes you need that when all else fails 

I need someone to explain the point of Sakala. I just don't get it.
Pleased for Roofe, he is a good player but would suit more of a two upfront formation for me.
Kent, he really is trying but every team puts two on him and we don't get much of anything from his constant step overs.

Absolutely.
Rangers players, on this day of days, should be bursting a gut to wear the jersey, worn so proudly by men who would have been ashamed to throw points away like confetti as we’ve been doing.
Scraping home today doesn’t hide or excuse that.

Our shots on target ratio really needs to vastly improve as well. We got away with it again today but with all that domination, a pathetic 2 shots on target is well short of Rangers standards.
on the plus side, keep winning and it builds confidence, you never know what will happen.
