Anyone looking at the Rangers starting line up would've seen that we were in big trouble today.
2 Big slow central defenders , one who has been shocking consistently and one unconvincing signing who's making his debut in an old firm fixture.
Then in front of them 2 slow midfielders at the wrong end of their careers who dramatically and negatively impact  the way we play. ( Barton, Krancjar ).
Add in an aging Miller deployed out of position on the right wing and Barry McKay who is out of form and so predictable lately?
Up top he plays a new striker who is primarily a box player in a game where we would create few chances.
Players were poor no doubt about it but this all stems from really poor management. Hate to have to criticise MW like this because I think he's been brilliant and done so much for us but it's 100% his fault.

Dodged a bullet today big time. Sort it out Mark Warburton.

MW has already shown has procrastination errors. Last week he waited too long before subbing Forrester even though everyone else was screaming for it, thankfully the ref saved his bacon.
Hes at it again with not making HT changes, I've a feeling he's gonna cost us today.

A lot of players have received new improved contracts, performances are not justifying them.

How's Barton playing. I ask because I think is inclusion alongside Rossiter is a waste.
Its still not stopping teams scoring against us and its reducing our attacking pace and creativity.
Get our best pacy attacking players in the team and put teams on the back foot with relentless pace and direct play instead of excessive possession.

Agree with this mate. Point about the subs who came on is also spot on but I think at that stage the game had swung so much that they were unable to influence in any real manner.

I hope Warburton sees the immediate potential issue with Forrester. He needs to Sub him ASAP because he's going to get sent off.

See they confirmed the $4.2 billion UFC sale today.
Not a bad profit for the original investors who paid $2 million? 

Another few vids of the Ulstermen in Lyon, this one is quality though

Season just keeps getting better. Now to win the cup next week and Kilmarnock to beat Falkirk.

Why do you say that? Alvarez was struggling with him until that punch.

Khan probably did want something to do with Brook, but had $6m reasons to take Alvarez. He'd be lucky to get half of that fighting Brook, a fight which carries a high element of risk and quite catastrophic on his career and earning potential should that happen.

Khan gets too much stick for not fighting him. It was a no brainer - take the big money fight with Alvarez and (provided he doesn't do embarrassing badly) his star doesn't really fade if he loses - indeed he is getting plenty kudos for taking it on. He gave a good account of himself and got KO'd by an absolutely terrific punch. 

The Brook fight is still there if he wants it - and it will make pretty much the same money figures as it would have before last night. If he fought Brook and lost, it'd be a long way back to the big money.

Brook needs Khan much more than Khan needs Brook. For Brook it will be a career high payday, and a platform to the big time - where as Khan, even after last night, has a few other avenues he can go down offering similar sorts of money. 

To all Gers fans attending the game I hope you all have a great day and safe return.
Im working tomorrow so will struggle to even see it ffs, so plenty of Rangersmedia updates please.
All we can do is take the game to them and hope to strike first. Come on Rangers....

Fair play to Falkirk for taking advantage but this turnaround is entirely down to Rangers dropping down a couple of gears and not maintaining the tempo they started with.
We were on easy street but rather than being ruthless and hitting this team for 5,6,7 we decided to treat the second half like a training match.
This I hope is a big lesson that I hope they all take on board and never repeat.

I hope Quigg and Gallagher both leave the arena on stretchers. Come on the wee Jackal....

I think Khan has more of a chance than most believe. He can be knocked out as has been thoroughly demonstrated before, however he is also extremely fast and can outbox most other fighters.
If he implements the right game plan, resists entering a slugfest and performs to his ability I think he can win the fight.
Brooks promotion and opponent choices are embarrassing. The guy has talent but you can't judge him accurately based on the tripe he faces. Get him in some decent fights before we can say how good he is.
