A new striker in January wouldn't have made a difference in Europe as they wouldn't have made the squad anyway. Clement has gambled on Dessers being good enough domestically, we just have to hope that between him, Roofe and Silva we have enough to see us through. Personally I think we'll go back to Silva through the middle on Sunday with Dessers on the bench, probably behind Roofe in the pecking order.

No shame in losing to a decent Benfica side. Evenly matched across the two legs and the difference in the end was they have a forward who can stay on side and finish, we don't. There's obviously going to be a lot of changes in the summer so the manager just needs to squeeze every ounce of effort and quality from a tired group of players and hopefully end the season with a well deserved treble. -

Would have taken that result before kick off, could have been a lot worse given we're down to the bare bones but were it not for Goldson's inexplicable cock up could have been a hell of a lot better. The ties still completely in the balance, both defences pretty ropey and they'll create chances at Ibrox. Hopefully Roofe will somehow stay fit as he showed straight away his game intelligence and awareness is far superior to Dessers and he could be the difference between a good season and a great one. Special mention to Ridvan, thought he was immense and him, Sterling and Diomande are going to make us a fair wedge of money when they're eventually sold.

Classic sucker punch right on the stroke of half time, that'll suck the life right out of them. If we can just keep our heads and steer clear of their 'gamesmanship' I can see the crowd really turning on them the longer it goes on and them losing the plot. We need the referee to be strong though as they'll be throwing themselves to the deck at every opportunity, especially Di Maria.

"I don't like to comment on officials as you know" 😂😂 Aye right you are you tarrier bastard. Just watch now as Beaton is ripped apart, the SFA are falling over themselves to apologise to celtic and VAR is removed from use.

That's a massive get out of jail free card for us today. We've actually finished the weekend in a slightly better position than we started and I certainly did not see that coming at 5 o clock yesterday.

Cortes will be relieved he's only on loan, at least he can go back to his parent club for treatment. We must be the worst club in the world for diagnosis and recovery and then turning slight knocks into long term absences.

Unfortunately even that Idah has gone from being a joke signing to the kind of target man physical lump that's ideally suited to this league and that Goldson in particular struggles to handle. Given the way our players continue to drop like flies I dread to think right now who we'll even have available for the old firm and added to that if McCausland's injury isn't too serious there's a very real possibility of us lining up with both him and Wright in the same front three in the remaining games this season which is a frightening prospect.

Even the challenge that Bair got booked for late on looked to me like Goldson mistimed his 'jump' and hit himself in the face

This is the issue for me, the constant niggly fouls that go unpunished for the opposition but that we get pulled up for every single time without fail. It's every single game this goes on and as a club we just sit by and watch it happen. And as today showed, even the stone wall decisions are being 'missed' by the referees as they know anything remotely controversial in our favour will be forensically dissected by the baying mob that is Scottish football whilst if they turn a blind eye to it there'll be 'nothing to see here'.

Welcome to Rangers, Philippe Clement!
the brown brogue replied to Bronzy's topic in Jimmy Bell's Kitroom
A horrific injury list and lack of quality in the squad is finally catching up with us now, he has a monumental job on his hands to pick this group back off the floor and rebuild the title momentum. I have faith in the manager, the players unfortunately are another matter. -
Can't run, can't tackle, can't header the ball cleanly in either box and for a big lad is easily bullied by any striker with a bit of physicality and aggression. And of course one of our highest earners on a long term contract. Fucking wonderful.
