You would have to be stevie wonder to not see how many times he’s bailed us out over the years. The point I’m making is when he’s not doing the business, no one else is stepping up to make things happen either. Which is where we currently find ourselves once again… as I said it’s fucking nuts that we are so dependent on a right back. One that’s aging and quite clearly struggling with the amount of games he’s being asked to play. But due how important he has become to our “style” of play and our piss poor recruitment he’s basically been undroppable. We have reached the point where those who rate Tav and those who don’t rate him finally agree… it’s time to move on.

Tav will always be Tav. He’s either an 8/10 or a 4/10. The issue is that he’s currently the only player in our squad who is capable of rising to the occasion. It’s been years since we had another player who can step up to the mantle and drag us through games. When others fail to show up - Tav has saved their skin… when Tav has a stinker or finds himself on a bad run of form there’s nobody else who’s willing or capable of stepping up. We are so one dimensional. In reality it’s fucking nuts that we expect so much from a right back… it’s also quite frankly insane that the club have let it get this far. What other team in the modern game has spent the best part of 8 years building their entire team and style of play around a right back!? We have built a team that allows him to smash personal records… but it’s came at the detriment of the clubs wider success. I say this as a massive fan of his… it’s time to go. We need a massive culture change at the club.

In isolation the result at the weekend hasn’t really changed what I believed we needed to do. A win with that level performance against relegation fodder would have raised just as many question about the teams desire to win the title. Prior to dropping points to County I was of the belief that if we want to win the league… then we needed to go to celtic Park and win. That’s still the case now, we just have to do it without our safety net. Our players going into that game against the mhanks thinking a draw was good enough wasn’t something I was overly comfortable with… the temptation to set up to avoid defeat being forcefully removed might be a good thing. Regardless there’s 4 massive cup finals to be played prior to that match starting with Dundee tonight. Mon Rangers, time to wake the fuck up.

wrong thread

Does Lundstram have the ability to be a Rangers player - yes. Does Lundstram have the mentality to be a Rangers player - No. Talent will always fall on its arse when mentality falters. Maybe it could have been different if he wasn't led by individuals who can't even stand up to piss. Get him in the bin.

Nevermind who needs to go-- it's much quicker to list who can stay.

Forwards and defence have been shite - but with a non existent midfield we are just asking for trouble.

Barasic is affected by climate change.

Nice sentiment. But ultimately they have a lot more power over the SPL than the attending fans do.

There was 110% contact. Was it enough to take silva down? Depends on what camera angle you look at. They spent the whole game moaning about Silva diving (some of which was completely justified in fairness)

Sutton felt very strongly that it was a dive. That was it.

Letting the mhanks sleep walk to another league title is embarrassing

Phil isn’t doing himself any favours here.

This team doesn’t want to win the league. It’s just a group of players who are happy to pull on the jersey and pretend to be Rangers players.

Wright to shove everyone’s words back down their throats and score the first goal. Shame it won’t happen.
