A message to sturgeon (and quite fittingly Salmond)

Great news for him and shows him (and others) that you can still get picked for your country at Rangers......provided you’re not a Scottish international

I think we have to go 4-3-3 with the tried and tested. May seem harsh to drop Lafferty after his double but I think we need Kent and Candeias supporting Morelos, play Jack, Arfield and Ejaria. If we get the goal we need then we get Coulibaly some game time and rest anyone that’s run themselves into the ground. Getting a goal in Russia is key to how easy we’ll make Sunday for ourselves as we already passed the opportunity of making it easier by only winning the home leg 1-0.

I jest comparing him to Dalcio but it kinda has that feel to it, really hope I’m wrong. With lafferty in now and scoring two on his first start (this time) I’m struggling to see how he’ll get game time but it’s a long season so a few run outs and goals for the reserves will help a lot.

Don’t you mean The Sadiq?

Absolutely this. Had we beaten Ufa comfortably I'm sure we'd have bought another couple of permanent players, so if we get through I expect we'll see players come in as we absolutely need quality and depth to challenge for the title and put up a fight in Europe. There is little to no money in the Europa League Qualifiers therefore getting this far and not getting to the groups will not do us much good. Get the group stage bagged then use that money to push for the title and to get a chance at getting Champions League money.

Hopefully we can whitewash them at every age level this year fucking scum

If we are going to play any full back as a winger it will be Barisic. Wallace is 3rd choice left back and will be sold if an offer comes in.

Last night Ufa knew what they were doing disrupting the flow of the game and trying to get us into bother which was frustrating as hell (McGregor did the same to Maribor in the second leg) but I had mixed emotions of frustration/anger and amusement at the end of the game when their player went down "injured" where he couldn't even decide where to pretend the injury was (started at lower leg, then back of the knee then the hamstring ) Then the cunt makes the quickest recovery ever and tries to pick a fight with Goldson

It’s not doom and gloom from most. I think you have to be able to see the good and bad from a game to learn what to keep doing and what to improve on and I can tell from Gerrards post match interview he wasn’t pleased with the performance overall and that’s good because it means we don’t just settle for a 1-0 win at home in Europe we look to see what we could do better.

Kent is getting better, his effort when he cut In was not that far off the mark. Candeias lacks the ability to beat the fullback but his work rate is superb. I think Middleton has one move but he does it very well. The trouble we had tonight wad they crowded the box and got a number of blocks or deflections from crosses and cutbacks. I don’t think a better quality winger would have helped that much tonight. I think a central midfielder who has the ability to beat a man and play the cutting passes is what we need (as well as Arfield getting some space to shoot as he has a decent shot on him). Ejaria impressed tonight more than his other performances but I don’t see him being that creative midfielder.

You ought to be careful you’ll get offered a job as a ref

And 5 mins later their sins first action was to take out Middleton with no attempt to get the ball and got away with it. Lafferty’s Foul looked bad but he watched the ball the whole time. Referee should get transferred to Scottish football he’d fit right in here.....utter shite, inconsistent, probably never seen the rule book.

All I can say is if we are still unbeaten, still never been behind, still on course for the group stages in spite of such shite referees in numerous games then we really are onto something good on the park.

We know he can say fuck you.....well the Maribor bench do

Didnt realise Alice Hedworth could speak Spanish so well

Any chance Barisic may get deployed further forward? As a cross from deep style winger.

Lafferty was going to be brought in as a striker and whilst it’s a Halliday at left back type situation as far as cover anywhere else on the pitch is concerned I’d be hugely surprised if we weren’t already looking at a replacement for Murphy either as a loan or a permanent deal.

Feel bad for Murphy as these injuries are tough to come back from and he’s going to have to sit and watch the team in these positive times. Shite for the club that a new (and not that cheap) signing is now unavailable for a season and we still pick up the wages. Im angry at the continued head in the sand approach from the SPFL about these pitches. Injuries can happen on grass but it’s not a contributing factor to the likelihood of injury however these pitches are. I said before it’ll only be when a scum player gets a season ender injury on one of these pitches that the cabal do anything about it.

So did we: McGregor, Jack and Coulibaly

He’s a confidence player and at the moment his confidence is sky high and therefore he’s finishing chances he’d have missed last season. Agree he’a caught offside too often and he’ll hopefully learn over time and start to stay onside. He’s not slow and he is strong so he doesn’t always need to get the extra 2 yards ahead as the ball comes through.

It would certainly make the financial benefits of having the plastic pitch seem less attractive (possibly more costly and make them rethink it).
