Just listen to yourselves 
we took 1 point of Ross county and Dundee and played utterly shite in both, scoring an own and a penalty……the league is done
Stop letting these players get your hopes up.

Not going to get into it too much because what has happened in the league is diabolical, but when Phil first came in everyone agreed that cutting the gap in the league and getting both cups would be a fantastic start with the players he has available.
Doesn’t look as nice now because of how we have seemingly fucked the league but aye 

Usually yes, but I spent nearly 5mths playing my beta save with us and my tycoon. Any other Rangers save wouldn't compare

It’s actually quite damning on players who have been here so long that a 20 year old knows more about expectation, responsibility and pressure.
Its a privilege to be a professional football first and foremost but to get the chance to play for big clubs is something that not many will get the opportunity to do so and you have to be prepared to take the good and the bad.
For me I see fear in these players, it’s why you get the shitey sideways passing because they don’t want to take the chance of upsetting the crowd for a misplaced forward pass. 

Modern football is different from 30 years or so ago.
We just need professionals who take pride in their work, who listen to instructions from the manager and give it their all. It’s not a requirement that they are supporters but if it’s possible to get that as well it’ll give them that 10% more determination in each game.
Being able to handle pressure isn’t something you get by being a Rangers fan.

I said at the time he wasn’t an out and out striker and would be surprised if he got more than 5 goals…..he has 4 in 18 at the moment.
His theatrics against them were ridiculous which has made me turn from him not being that great to just another that I want gone from the club.

Do you think the players for Dundee last night were Dundee men?
They were busting an absolute gut both defensively and offensively. At one point in the second half when Dundee had someone at the back post unmarked it took about 4 seconds before our midfield were visible and were just jogging back. This isn’t because they don’t support Rangers they just have an incredibly bad mentality, you can’t argue they were knackered because none of them ended up on the grass with cramp

Last one was probably the sheep cup final.
There is no denying he has dug us out of some bad situations in the last but if that’s all he is bringing to the table and it’s happening less often as he doesn’t have the legs anymore for it then it’s time to move on so we can start to share the burden across the team instead of players just hoping he scores a free kick or penalty.
Much like letting Morelos go, we could have kept him on but it’s living off of past successes that is now the problem, likewise for lundstram, goldson, Barisic, jack, roofe

Scottish players generally do seem to have quite a good work ethic because they are more limited on a technical side, it’s just the way our game is. It’s why our league is fast paced and physical compared to the likes of Italy or Holland, it’s why Lammers has broken a scoring record since January but was utter mince here.
We definitely have to be more open minded to signing players like Lewis Ferguson but preferably before he moved to the sheep as he would have been cheaper. The big problem is we don’t do well developing players like this as they never seem to get a good run of games to develop as they would at other clubs because they have les riding on each game whereas our support demand we win every match.

I don’t buy that the players are shit. We don’t get to a Europa cup final with shit players, limited players yes but not shit. The problem is they show up when it suits them and hide when it doesn’t.
We’ve also taken big gambles on players who will be good if we can get them firing again (be it injury or drop in form over the years) as they are cheaper than buying the players in their prime. Far too many of them have been failed experiments.
The trick is to spot talent and aptitude in younger players before they make it, sign them when they are cheap enough to take a punt on them,  embed them in a squad with positive role models so that they follow suit, then sell them on when they outgrow the club.

Excellent post. 

I think it’s up to the manager to instil this in the squad. The manager needs to lay down the law for unacceptable performances and results.
We are all rightly pissed off with the last couple of weeks but simply giving the hairdryer treatment isn’t going to change things.
What we do need are leaders on the park and again this doesn’t mean Rangers men and it needs a strong hand off the park too. Clement will know better than any of us how to handle each player in the squad. Some need an arm around them and encouragement whilst others need a stern word and others maybe react best to being dropped and so on.
if you get enough of the right characters in the squad the best elements of their traits and personalities rub off each other but get it wrong and you get what we have….acceptance of second best and total lack of accountability, no one stands up to take the game by the scruff of the next (again don’t need to be a Rangers man to do that)

McCausland is a “Rangers man”, but what we actually need are decent footballers who want to win silverware
Tbf to McCausland in his limited time on the pitch last night you could see he wanted to try impact the game, he just doesn’t have the quality to do it himself and nobody else around him could be bothered apparently

Yup, gone are the days of Roy of the Rovers and “those who drink together win together”

So you have this and then his partner in crime goldson with his game was over remarks on the hibs semi final and we wonder why the squad buckles under pressure

If Cortes, Danilo, ridvan and Sima were all fit I have no doubt we’d have been better off than where we are now. The fact we actually went top again was nothing short of a miracle with this squad.
He can’t play the way he wants because we have barely any depth and poor quality in that depth.
It’s time we put faith in a manager and ditch the old guard. It’s no longer about ability it’s about attitudes, mentality and accepting being second best that is now more damaging. Having a team of limited ability players that give everything every match, that follow instructions and are organised and work as a unit defensively and offensively will get you better results than a team of players with ability when they can be bothered trying.
