However unlikely the title may be I for one am not giving up until it becomes mathematically impossible. The final at the end of the month is huge as a victory for us will surely dent their confidence. The squad is bloated and aging and while we will thank them for their service I can see around 8-10 either retiring or being forced to find new clubs. Apart from a keeper which we all know is a must I doubt that we need anything more than the addition of 2/3 quality additions in the outfield area. The January signings look very promising.

Consistency begins with a relatively settled starting XI so I want to see our strongest team start against Thistle. Once the tie is won we can make 5 subs and ring the changes.

On the whole I am rather pleased with Beale. Breathed some life into the squad and handles the media very well. Early days but his signings look to be a cut above what we had and did not cost an arm and a leg. If at the end of the month we land the LC then that will be a very satisfactory start to his reign as Rangers manager.

Playing against a side who want to come out and play a game of football we do well. We do much less well against sides who don't fancy a game 'cause they know they will get hammered if they do. It's a sad refection of Scottish football. Raskin, Cantwell and Tillman all look decent additions. Move onto Partick and next week.

Keeps the unbeaten run going but that is the only positive. A poor performance.

As expected a packed defense to play against. We are not playing with enough tempo. On the whole I am unhappy with the the 1st half but relieved that we have the lead. Jack was poor and should be replaced with Kamara at HT. Colak for Morelos will freshen things up around the 70 min mark.

We have an agreed deal with the Germans. No need to be splashing cash at the moment. Let's just wait until the summer.

As County will doubtless play a 5-4-1 I don't expect the magic of Wednesday. 2 or maybe 3-0 is what I foresee. Harsh I know but I don't expect to Sakala start given Beale's comments.

No doubt in my mind that Beale has improved the fitness of the squad and that very much includes Alfredo. Consequently he is playing more like his old self. However if he is looking for a pay rise to sign on for another couple of years the answer must be no.

Beale has talked about the number 9 he has his eye on for the summer. If he gets him then I expect it is bye bye Alfredo.

Don't get the pen to a yellow card. Kent cannot be accused of simulation.

That's what competition for jerseys does.

At 2-0 it's not game over but it should be more. Disappointed at that. However at 3-0 it's all over. We are playing well.

Won't be long until we get the team. Will Beale surprise us again ? 2 up top ? Another start for Cantwell ? I have no idea.

H&H posted a link to a Nord offer in yesterdays daily update. Had a look and it's only a couple of quid per month on a 2 year deal.

RTV cover all domestic games both home and away. All they can't show are European games from the group stages onwards. Of course if you are in the UK you will need to leave the country (VPN) before going to the site.

I agree. On the whole it has led to more correct decisions.

Matondo cost us a lot of money. He is on a big wage and has a 4 year deal. We must at least try to get something out of him as at the moment we have no chance of getting a fee for him.

I have not seen it do can't comment on it. scum will be going mental. Ref gives a pen and VAR disallows it. Can't stop laughing.

I don't know anything about him, not even his name, so you may be right with his age. I have just liked the look of him against us.

That's 2 weeks in a row I have been impressed with their keeper. I understand that he is a loanee from Crystal Palace so probably within our budget. A possibility for next season ?

3 more points so I will take that. The new boy did well and good to see Hagi back. We played very well in patches but overall not a great performance.

As I don't expect Cantwell to play the 90 mins I expect to see Sakala around the hour mark

Incoming players have to be 1st team picks and the price has to be right. If the Belgians are playing silly buggers they may end up with a player in their reserves for whom they cannot get a fee in the summer plus they will have to pay him 4/5 months of wages. I expect this one to go to the final day. If we cannot get anyone else in this window so be it but at least the squad will be stronger as the injury situation improves.

All I hope for is a rather comfortable win. 3-0 or 4-0 and a cameo from both Hagi and Cantwell.
