Didn't get a chance to see the match or follow it on here...  But sounds like our good form has continued - albeit with a terrible mistake.  Away win on a Friday night on a plastic pitch?  I'll take those 3 points any day of the week

na i think we tend to focus on the negatives. It was a good performance, with one terrible mistake which he made cause we were coasting. Apart from that, its all good.
 
Friday night game, away on astro against a team who are never going to come out and play - thats a good 3 points.
 
Plus we could rest Hill and Miller and save their legs on hard astro - many many positives - one negative
 
 

Hamilton Academical vs Rangers fc
Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership League Game

                        
Venue: New Douglas Park/Superseal Stadium
Kick off: 19:45(7:45pm)
Could be on live TV, streams will be provided.
Hamilton Accies - 8th in the table with 16 points (1 game in hand)
Last 5 games all resulted in a draw, overall Accies have W2/10D/4L
Rangers - 2nd in the table with 32 points
Last 5 games (Most recent first) WWLWW
 
So going back to our first opponents this season, we faced Accies at Ibrox on flag day as our first top flight match in 4 years. The game would end up resulting in a draw with Martyn Waghorn being the only goal scorer. This time things will be different, we have to go to their stadium and grab 3 points to further secure our spot for second place. and outside of that, next season it's away games like this that will win us the league. The league for all intents and purposes (unless something drastic happens) isn't up for grabs, Celtic admittedly are in a strong place right now, 8 points a head with 3 games in hand. Meaning a possible 17 points ahead of us. and unless something drastic happens that isn't changing. So right now we must focus on securing 2nd place.
Aberdeen are 3rd in the table with 28 points and 1 game in hand meaning they're on par with us taking their goal difference into consideration. So winning this game in a convincing manner and getting a clean sheet is important. Hearts are a point behind Aberdeen with no games in hand so they aren't as big a worry but that doesn't mean they can't be written off. All it takes is one bad game for the table to get shaken up. Which is why beating teams lower in the table is important, this season it's important to maintain our 2nd place spot so we can get europe and more importantly money. But next season, as I said above. Small battles like these win you the war.
** Just realised Accies are playing the tims tonight at torbett towers. After a quick glance at their forums, their none to optimistic about this fixture. They'll fancy their chances more with us but it'll be the same. Of course though, all the best to Accies. Unlikely as fuck but who knows, maybe they can steal a draw

We all will gogzy. but there's been tweaks made by MW and DW. it's minor tweaks but it solves a lot of our problems. out defence bar hearts away recently have been rock solid. 
I know a few want Warburton to fail but the guy has the class to be a Rangers manager but he now has to adapt and become a Rangers manager.
Much much better Rangers 

Absolutely chuffed with that performance just would have been nice for a few more goals to back up the dominance.
To a man the team showed the desire and passion to play for us.
Don't know whats happened or been said but credit to Warburton and the players because they certainly sent us home happy tonight.

Mark Warburton motm for me because the whole team have been fantastic. 

What's good is that there are debates around MOTM.... Wee Barry has been impressive.. So has WIlson.. even Garner for his work and tenacity

On the march 

It's so much of the game isn't it 

Confidence is everything in Football.. Looks like we have ours back

Different side.. Have to give Warbs some credit here.  Must have gotten tore into them after the loss at Tynecastle....  And McKay looking like a new signing.  Much better performance here.  We need to keep this intensity not just for the second half.. but the rest of the season.  This performance is one I can say is one of a Rangers team (so far)  

As Big Jock would say  "Fancy the Rangers the day ... we've got the battle fever on..."

Take care mate... Have a drink ffs.

So Hodson keeps his place then?
 
This is what I wanted to see... Hodson still at RB and Tav in MF

We can't afford to go into reverse at this one, hope to fuck the players realise they've set the standard now and that should be the minimum required.

Glad it's no just me got this feeling

Deluded .... 

Nervous as fuck for this match....  Reason being I truly believe that IF our good form from last week is evident on Sat.. then we might have turned a corner.  Don't want to see 2 steps back here... But am quietly optimistic of course
The Rangers 2-0 Hearts
Garner and Halliday (Pen)
MON THE GERS!!!!

Perfect that this match is coming so close after the debacle @ Tynecastle.  After out great showing vs the sheep.. it will help turn this season around if we show the same fight and desire here.  Anything less will be a step back.  We need to kick on now...  Great opportunity here
