As much as I tell myself things can only get better, it just feels like if a season starts off this badly can it really pick up as urgently as it needs to? Time will tell. I hope I'm wrong.

I agree, this squad of players is capable of playing far better and should be beating St. Johnstone, but with Edu and McCulloch in the middle of the park together we don't stand much of a chance. This squad can beat St. Johnstone, but it can't win the league. We need Goodwillie, Cuellar, Juhasz, Verhoek and a new central-midfielder in.

You can't ignore the way that Rangers have been playing. If Rangers are to win this one, it'll take a huge improvement in performance or it'll be a scrappy 1-0.

It worries me that Kitchee seem to be able to move forward with the ball better than Rangers in the past 2 matches.

For a start, I'm stunned that you've been able to name that Tarrier side man-for-man. Regarding the 3-5-2, get it to fuck. 4-4-2. End of. Attack for fucksake.

Drop any points at St. Johnstone and we're looking to be fucked for the season. Especially if he starts Edu and McCulloch again.

Sell him.

You're a tool. You have a go at the "rhags" yet seem to have believe any figure they've thrown in around Whittaker. I highly doubt he'll be on £20k-a-week.

It's even more worrying that he's been our best player for the past 2 matches. Our midfield is non-existent and bringing the best out in him.

Without the Champions League to offer, Rangers aren't a very healthy proposition for any quality player.

McGregor Whittaker Bougherra Goian Wallace Ortiz Davis Hutton Wylde Naismith Jelavic I would not be surprised if Rangers struggle badly, or even drop points. Lose this one and it's a long way back up.

Don't flatter yourself.

Both fucking rotten. I will cry if they start together in Perth. I will cry.

Ally doesn't make the fucking bids, Jesus Christ! It's Smith and Whyte's responsibility for wages, transfer fees etc. For that performance, yes, question Ally, but not over this. Fuck off with that.

That wasn't the problem. What you've just done was the problem. "Hahaha I told you so! I saw it first! Look at me!". Piss off.

Awww so you thought you'd make a thread telling everyone "I told you so"? Get fucked.

They must be fucking blind.

...for every single sane person in Ibrox on matchdays to spot week-in week-out that the McCulloch-Edu partnership in midfield essentially starts Rangers with a man down. I've never seen anything worse than those two fucking duds playing alongside each other. Now, I already feel slightly bad for calling them duds and I still support them 100% - but for fucksake, Ally: open your fucking eyes and never play them beside each other EVER again. They will be the downfall of the 2nd leg if played in the two central-midfield slots and they'll cost us so many points in the league. It's absolutely shameful that Davis has to put up with being pushed out wide and doing twice the work than anyone else on the park, all because McCulloch spends 90 minutes needlessly fouling other players, giving the ball away and complaining to the referee! Edu isn't much fucking better. He's an athlete, not a footballer. If there was any truth in the rumour that Trabzonspor wanted him then I'll pay for his flight to Turkey. He is not good enough. What must Kyle Hutton feel like? He watches those two consistently put in absolutely vile performances and never gets a sniff. He's good enough to play against Manchester United in the Champions League Group Stages but not in a Qualifier? That's a great message to send to the younger players. If he isn't going to get a chance - and with Ness being injured - then Rangers MUST buy a central midfielder who can actually fucking bother his arse to get stuck in and play the ball around. If that means spending more than £500k then go out and fucking do it. We will lose so much more money if those two are allowed to continually trip the whole side up once more this season. I cannot remember ever being this worried from what I've seen tonight and on Saturday. This is fucking disgraceful. Get in Goodwillie. Get in Cuellar. Get in Verhoek. Get in a new central-midfielder!

Out with the old, in with the old.

It has all the ingredients so far. I've already got such a bad feeling about this season and it does not bode well. One thing I'm certain of though is that things would improve majorly if McCulloch and Edu were out of the midfield completely and Davis was allowed to partner a new strong central-midfielder that would allow him to play at his best.

I can't remember ever being this worried about a Rangers team.

The wages that they get fucking paid and all they can do is kick it long. Get a rocket up Bougherra's arse and get him to fuck. He doesn't care.

Terrifying.

Just in. That was a fucking disgrace. I couldn't be anymore worried.

That's the first time I've actually seen that video. That is fucking disgraceful.
