Really professional job second half after a poor 45. Well done to Beale for sorting it out at half time. 
The negativity on here and in kite support is fucking wild man. Never in our history have these qualifiers been easy for us. Let alone when we have so many new players bedding in. New signings being written off after 10 days of the season. Fucking ridiculous man. Almost get the feeling people enjoy moaning.

We needed a competent left sided centre half, someone who would bring a bit of confidence and could read the game. 
Initially I thought Beale noticed this and was encouraged when we were going for a couple of CBs early in the window. 
However, here we are, lined up with a familiar extremely fragile back line and expecting different results. 
You'll never get the best out of creative players if they believe any mistake they make will lead to disaster. 
 
 

Tav clearly more concerned with his aesthetic these days. Bulked up but lost his only good attribute, which was his athleticism.
Mind when he was constantly bombing up and down that right hand side? Now he saunters to the halfway line, leaves a huge gap in behind, then can't get back to defend.

How desperate is Rob McLean for us to fail?

On this showing it looks like still relying on guys who peaked as Rangers players three years ago and hoping they can “get back” to that form is going to kill yet another season.

Listening to Rob MacLean is like listening to Sturgeon

With the way Rob McLean is going on you would think we had lost the game last week.

Positives - Butland
Negatives - Everything else. 

Worry that Beale may have fixated on missed chances vs the tarriers. The difference last season was both penalty areas.
Still optimistic from middle to front once the team has time to gel, and Danilo will give us a big lift. But for now the left side of defence is a massive target on our back. We’re going trophyless if it isn’t addressed.  

The guy just relegated a recent PL championship winning team. 
Every team he's managed have had initial good results then started to decline. 
One thing's for sure if results don't go their way; the unwashed will be very quick to turn on him. 
 

Raskin, Tillman and Yilmaz all got plenty of game time. They were all 21 last season.
It's up to the younger players to prove in training that they are good enough to get their chance. Then when they do get their chance, they need to show that they are at least as good or better than the established players in that position.

Would rather have Yilmaz and someone younger and more agile brought in to replace Borna.
We've seen his movie, it's becoming stale now.

'Hibs are falling apart again'

'Hibs are falling apart again'

'Hibs are falling apart again'

So much better than Borna. Borna is slow and hesitant, whereas Ridvan is capable of getting the ball out his feet and moving forward with the ball. Also quick in the tackle. Plays without fear.
 

Keep him in for the rest of the season 

Bigger test will come this weekend but I feel much more confident going in with him than McGregor after yesterday. 

Jack's never stayed fit so it's pointless folk saying they hope he will, same with Roofe. We know the script with these players. They are luxury ones that you can't rely on over the course of a season

Is it nailed on the rivdan and davies are leaving?
I would not be against rivdan staying. Would like to see rivdan getting some game time to see what he is like 

Another small point about Beale. And another bug bear. If he's going to be here next season and he undoubtedly will be someone tell him to shut the fu** up about other clubs,cut out the pals acts and "rivalry" shite and if asked about a decision made in a match not involving us say fu** all to do with me or Rangers. And fu** sportsmanship. If boot was on other foot we'd be getting shown none. 
Mr nice guy Michael Beale. I want a Mr complete and utter bastard who winds everyone outside Rangers up and detests losing. 

And we make plenty of mistakes. Bucket loads.

I agree with this, but our board only take real action if one of them is wronged. They never do the same if it is our Club that has been cheated. 

Every single time we have one of these performances from Clancy or Collum there is a storm of protest for a few days, and then, within weeks, they are back at Ibrox officiating at one of our games. We need to make it clear that they can't be allowed to referee our games again.  If this fails, and they are back at Ibrox, they need to hear the message loud and clear from the stands throughout the game. It's the very least we can do.

Aye. And it would be 3-1 to us if we could fucking defend properly.
