I admire the optimism but a Rangers team that isn't comfortable with being top of the pile is never a Rangers team We need to get back to winning ways and do our best to take it to the wire however we have seen this story too many times before from some in our squad countless times

Not sure I think his time with us is up as he still offers a lot going forward However his time as a right back and captain for me is done I have questioned his mentality and bottle for years , thought that we were seeing a change under Clement particularly in December / Jan period. Vital part of the season with a title on the line and your captain is throwing in 2 performances like his last two is unforgivable . Time and time again the whole mentality issue Raises its head with him and the senior players and there is no smoke without fire. Bar 55 and Europe they have crumbled time and time again when the sleeves need rolled up and results need dug out

Even this Dundee saga has shown up the usual suspects 5 postponements causes by their pitch. Then you have John Hartson and Sutton circling the wagons spouting utter guff Incapable of any sort of impartiality or even producing a thought that is their own. Did any of these two offer any previous opinions on Dundee's pitch issues until it was Rangers that was involved ?

Only in Scotland could Rangers start to get criticism from parts of the media for Dundee's pitch causing it's 5th postponement of the season Hartson , Sutton etc you expect but even Simon Jordan has stuck his nose in waffling utter shite.

Sutton tells Cantwell to do his talking on the pitch Cantwell who played a major part in the build up to our third goal Although to be fair Callum McGregor played just as important a role in the build up for our second

this was a good one We beat them twice already under Smith on his return the previous season but the title was already wrapped up by Celtic . This one really drummed home to them Rangers and Walter were back when it mattered and the next 4 years proved it

Smith running up the touchline and celebrating with the fans after Bo Anderson slips it in is iconic from that game

The win at parkhead later that 2004-5 season was massive too First time we had beat them there in 5 years at that point

The 3-2 game to stop them winning the league at Ibrox was massive

Probably called Paul mcstay the maestro

Get off yer knees We are playing them at Ibrox in a huge title defining game . I believe we are capable of turning up and beating them. McGregor has been out only a few weeks for them , the time when they were getting close to another car park meltdown he was getting it in the neck more than most and starting every week

They were just far more clinical than us that day when the chances fell to them I am sure dessers was through 1 on 1 twice in the first half and fucked it Other than that the major annoyance for me on that day was McGregor getting the freedom of the pitch far too often again

Aye our fans would moan on here and social media and that would be the end of it Watch the Celtic mouthpieces in the media give their thoughts and opinions on Beaton over the next few days and the pressure ramp up

I know everyone of them is big but this feels like the biggest derby in well over a decade I feel like this title will be defining for how the next few seasons pans out for us or them

Surely it wasn't the salt of the earth Hibs fans who launched a pyro towards the stand full of Rangers fans after our third? Didnt hear any hurty words from them right enough as they didn't make fuck all else noise the whole game

Hope nobody shows wee delicate Steve Clarke this outrageous occurrence of bigotry in a Scottish football ground

It shows the lack of quality on the PLZ show that Lennon is the one who genuinely comes across as the most level headed and sane contributor when he is on Seen a clip a few months back when the league cup was around the quarter or semi final stages and the were asked to predict there winner with celtic obviously already out. Aberdeen , Hibs (who both had honking starts to the season) etc were all trotted out before it went to a bemused Lennon for his pick and he just genuinely looked around and said something along the lines of are you all aware Rangers are still in the tournament

He's probably the fittest and most reliable player we have for being match fit week in week out Getting rid of him in the summer would be crazy

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's a completely different pressure to the weekly nerves of the league right now and a golden opportunity for another European quarter final appearance Always remind myself that it was only 6-7 years ago I genuinely questioned if we would ever be a decent force on the European stage again or at least for a good long while. At times even group stage football seemed a far off dream. What's happened since then has been incredible in Europe

I think Uefa would push hard on Rangers to open Ibrox for a screening Would probably look at encouraging Rangers fans without tickets to Belfast with maybe trying to set up fan zones there / maybe open Windsor park for a screening of the game or something. Although not sure a massive influx of bevvied up Rangers fans arriving for the day and night in Belfast would result in any less bother but Uefa would see that as not their problem

Do we get to keep Hibs now ?

A good old fashioned exuberant ,title winning pitch invasion to say goodbye would be fitting

We are witnessing the meltdown we missed from everyone else during our 55 season . Sure we got to see and laugh at the Celtic support in full meltdown that season but the closed doors spared us the tears and snotters from every other set of fannies in this country

Scottish football is just hating itself to death I have been one that has argued to have a euro allocation for the old firm games and I love an away trip to Easter road but right now am thinking just ban the irrelevant cunts . Fuck them . Give them nothing and in return they won't make fuck all from us when they have to do it to us in return while their away stand is as empty as the rest of their shitehole

Hibs supporters fall into the exact same category as Celtic fans Desperate to portray themselves as some sort of anti establishment , far left anarchist movement and push the boundary to be as edgy as possible to show just how much they "hate Rangers , unionism , loyalism , the establishment etc" hence why we have regular references to the disaster from them , the queen being dead, attacking out players etc the list goes on Then they hear a few bad words in some songs and go running to every authority they can grassing about how offended they are
