  1. Billy Davies? forgive me but what has he done in his managerial career worthy of managing Rangers? Same with people who say McCall for Rangers manager.

    I'm all for Super Ally for staying but things need to change and i'm sure he knows that too, keep the faith Ally will deliver.

  2. People on here can give the op as many neg reps as possible but no one has answered the question what does he do?

    Why do wee need two Assistants?

    Kenny McDowell hold a clip board and Durrant just looks at McCoist and McCoist just looks at them both as if to say what the fuck do we do.

    People noticed this when he 1st took over. And the same things are still happening. It's as if none of them know what to do when it goes wrong.

    Don't think any of us know what Durrant does but for the OP to imply that he does nothing is a bit disrespectful.

  3. KAL NAISMTH inspired Rangers as they made up for an awful start at Airdrie to come from two goals down and win 4-3 in the Reserve League.

    The young forward converted a crucial penalty five minutes from the end to eventually give his side a lead they struggled to get for so long.

    And he poked home what proved to be the winner just moments later as Tommy Wilson’s men made it four wins from five matches in the competition so far.

    Following his omission from the team that lost to Stirling on Saturday, Kyle Hutton was among the first-team players who featured.

    Kevin Kyle was also involved along with fringe stars Robbie Crawford, Chris Hegarty, Andy Mitchell and Francesco Stella.

    Gers had an early chance to go ahead through Kyle and should have taken it but they soon rued his weak shot at home keeper Andrew Duncan as they went two goals down instead.

    Paul Di Giacomo gave the hosts the lead after eight minutes when he latched on to a through ball, got the better of makeshift left-back Mitchell and fired in from 10 yards.

    Jack Boyle then doubled the advantage when he made the most of slack defending and nipped in to edge a trundling shot past Scott Gallacher.

    Airdrie even came close to a third as the game hit the quarter-hour mark, with Di Giacomo so unlucky to see his rasping drive smack the face of the bar.

    The away team soon responded and Stella put the ball in the net after good play by Crawford and Kyle but the Australian had just strayed offside and his effort didn’t stand.

    Kyle had a header from a Naismith corner held by Duncan and put another on top of the net while Stella passed to the ex-Sunderland player when he should have had a go himself.

    If anyone looked like getting the Ibrox outfit back into the contest before the break it was Naismith, whose creativity had Airdrie on the back foot at times.

    He did really well to work his way into the area from the right corner and his shot was parried before Stella blasted the rebound high over the upright.

    In general, the former Melbourne player was wasteful in front of goal and while he was getting into the right positions, he put one header past and drove a shot at the keeper.

    That almost proved costly as Airdrie had one last chance before the interval but Gallacher was a match for Willie McLaren when he closed in on the target.

    Coach Wilson retained his starting line-up for the restart but the home side continued to cause problems through the lively Di Giacomo.

    And while chances kept coming for Rangers through Naismith’s long-range drive and Crawford’s shot on the turn, neither was on target and things weren’t going their way.

    Hutton did hit the target on the hour after a disguised pass from Naismith but this time Duncan did well to stop the attempt then gather.

    But just as frustration looked like setting in, Gers exerted more pressure on their opponents and finally got on the scoresheet on 63 minutes through Kamil Wiktorski.

    He provided the finishing touch under Duncan from 10 yards after a smart pass in the box from Kyle and suddenly the away side was back in the game.

    Rangers were visibly growing in confidence and both sides exchanged opportunities before the scores were levelled with eight minutes to go.

    Mitchell came up with a composed finish as he ran on to a clever reverse pass by Naismith – but there was even more drama to come.

    With five minutes left, Gers turned the game on its head as Crawford was fouled in the box and Naismith stepped up to stroke home a perfect penalty and make it 3-2.

    The young forward then capped a good personal performance with a clincher barely 60 seconds later as he capped a terrific comeback with a confident finish.

    Di Giacomo did have the final say with his second in injury time but it wouldn’t be enough to deny the Ibrox side.

    Having been trailing with time running out, the Light Blues had dug deep to produce a winning result and keep their bid for the second-string title on course.

    RANGERS: S Gallacher; Murdoch, Gasparotto, Hegarty, Mitchell; Hutton, Wiktorski; Naismith, Crawford, Stella (C Gallagher 54); Kyle.

    Edit: How i managed to spell Airdrie wrong i'll never know.

  4. I thought in the second half we controlled the game playing the ball on the deck, I'm surprised so many see us playing long ball even when we aren't.

    With the players currently in the Squad like Aird and Shiels we seem to be playing less long ball stuff.

    I don't think there's any urgency about our play though, look at the Murderwell game we were right in their faces at the very start of the game and that set the tempo for the rest of the game where we fully controlled it and outplayed them, there's no reason we cant do it against part timers.

  5. Long ball football is horrendous no matter what way you put it, play fast passing football against these teams and they'll be fucked by half time, they have not stamina etc.

    We play right into their hands when we play long ball football that's the sort of football their use to.

  6. Durrant played for one of the greatest Rangers teams ever who on their day were arguably the best team in Britain in the 90's, so if you fail to realise what he contributes to Rangers you lack common sense.

  7. A proper Rangers man and someone who knows what it is to be a Ranger.

    Aside from that, was it not Durrant who had picked out young MacLeod as a bit of a player. Didn't do too badly on that front, after all, he should know a midfielder who has a bit about him. MacLeod looks like the real deal to be, and I had yet to be convinced until I saw him on a more regular basis.

    This.

    He said the boy MacLeod was talented and he would be a great player, going by the lads displays in games he's lived up to the reputation.

  8. Yet again though, Ajax had a massive upheaval in what they did behind the scenes. A footballing philosophy was put in place from top to bottom, and Frank De Boer and Ajax benefit greatly from it now.

    Same happened at Feyenoord, Borussia Dortmund etc.

    That's what should happen at Rangers, the football we've been playing is dire with the long ball football pish, we should be looking like Barca compared to these teams, being in the 3rd division is our best chance to change our football philosophy.

  9. Jimmy Millar (1955-67; 317games 162goals) quote

    "When a chap loses his heart to an ideal, there's no going back. It grows and grows within him, growing stronger as the years slip past.

    That is why, when people ask: "Would you rather play centre than in the half-back line?" my answer comes off my lips as though from a tape recorder:

    "I don't care where I play so long as I wear the Rangers colours."

  10. Aye and the SPL signed them off every year, why is no questioning these fuds about why they done this if they thought it was so wrong?

    That's what doesn't add up, surely the SPL/SFA should be the ones being done for being inept, it's not paranoia but they have a agenda with us it's clear for everyone to see.

  11. Well considring the SFA have been caught, they said they haven't been trying to strip us of titles but the sun and the record have all seen the evidence that they have.

    And considering they tried to get the SFL on side and they told them to fuck off means there fucked.

    And they haven't commented on any of these stories. That also suggest they're fucked.

    And no matter what people think about murray he doesn't come out and say stuff if he thinks he's done wrong. Now that murray is now helping green out with all the EBT stuff tells me the SPL/SFA or whoever it is that are trying to strip these titles they won't be able to do it.

    That's it maybe Murray could have done better in his time at Rangers but i certainly don't think we did anything wrong regarding EBT'S they were in our annual accounts for everyone to see, so for the SPL to try and strip titles off us is nothing short of corrupt.

  12. None of them want the medals as they know they got beat by Rangers and thats the end of it. So what are the SPL really hoping to achieve here?

    Why are they all of a sudden so concerned about dual contracts for when they signed of our accounts every year?

    What are they going to do if they do strip titles? Are they going to write to the world Guinness book of records and says it's not a world record 50 titles?

    Are the going to rewrite the history books?

    They really are stupid bastards. I don't think that thick ugly bastard Doncaster has planned to do any of this this, it is someone pushing them in to it.

    Wonder who?

    I think it will be suicidal for the SPL to strip us of titles, the SPL are fucked financially so what would court battles do to them if they tried to strip us of titles? It would turn into a big long court battle which we would eventually win as we've done no wrong. I'm obviously talking shite though i have a habit of it when a drink lol :cgreen:
