I'm not saying he's gonna leave tomorrow. However, if the English Premier League comes calling most players will go

His wee flick to get out of that tight spot was brilliant. He's some find, I can see him leaving for a huge fee some day

Thought he played well. Very comfortable on the ball. Would have no fears about him in an old firm match

Here's hoping he isn't unsettled by the interest from Bordeaux. Certainly seems to have found his form under Gerrard and seems happy so hopefully all this does is boost his confidence

Wouldn't even accept £10m in all seriousness. The timing is so wrong for us. Gerrard clearly has him marked as his key striker and with good reason. And he's only a young man, his potential is huge. Sell him now and we're effectively writing off our title challenge this season.

I take it some pubs will have Premier Sports? Can't be fucked watching a game this important on a crappy stream

When did he renew, was it not only last year?

Tomorrow is not a big test. Tomorrow is the basics. Tomorrow is a comfortable win. If it's not we should rightly worry.

As others have quite rightly pointed out, we have had moments of optimism in the last few years and it's all come crashing down. Having said that, a lot of us have noticed that something feels different this time around. There's just something about Gerrard- the global brand, the signings we've made, the atmosphere at Ibrox in the past couple of games.. there's a curious sense of optimism back and it feels as though something big is brewing... Across the city there are murmurs of discontent at the scum, they're on the verge of missing out on the Champions League for the first time in a few years and have already lost a league game only 2 games into the season (contrast with the "invincibles" regardless of their European embarrassments). The tide is turning, it could the this season or it might be next, but I've never felt surer.. it's happening. Let's go!

Looked more like a shoulder to me

Time we brought in officials from outside Scotland

According to Wiki, Kiernan has played 1 game since leaving us and Senderos is playing in the MLS with Houston Dynamo (played 8 scored 4 bizarrely). Says it all.

We now have 5 strong options for the back (6 if you include John but I'm assuming his loan will go through). What a position to be in considering where we were last year. I can't see Flanagan not being a regular starter considering his pedigree. But then, I can't imagine who we would drop. Good times.

This. There's clearly an anti-Rangers prejudice in wider society/the media so it makes sense this would permeate the refereeing world too.

Forgot about this. Should've passed to Arfield.

Gerrard's first league game in charge, there will be media interest in those comments outside of Scotland. Hopefully brings it to the attention of a wide audience

He said something in his Sky interview that suggested he knows fine well that we'll need to put up with dodgy decisions against us all season. Can't remember the exact wording

Love that. Don't take the bait until the job is done, then rip into them.

He was here a year, we didn't destroy his potential in a year. And it's not like he's only 18 or 19, he's a 24 year old. He's a central defender who is a shite bag. The two don't go hand in hand.

You honestly think he would have been playing for Portugal by next year if he'd stayed in Portugal? He was horse shit. We were fed a line about how he was a massively rated up and coming star, stick on to be a future Portuguese international. In reality he was a Benfica B nobody. Also it's Cardoso not Cardosa.

Farce upon farce upon farce

I've thought for a while that in the recent past we seem to have a habit of getting the absolute worst out of players

Should have played Morelos, reckon with his physicality the 50 wouldn't have stood a chance

Ah well then, there goes the theory that it was being saved for the big marquee signing
