Old firm is the priority for me. The game is huge for the season psychologically and the prize at stake for winning the league this year is far too great to think about anything else IMO. A 2nd choice team should still be enough to beat Alashkurt. A weakened team won’t beat the taigs.

This. Also the scum trying to compare this with the Kamara abuse is fucking ridiculous. The lads on the bus are fucking morons no doubt, but the two incidents are incomparable IMO.

Agreed. Centre backs need to be settled and build partnerships, not changing every game. If we could find takers for Balogun and Simpson then hopefully could free up wages to bring someone in. Personally I would be happy to see Katic get a run of games as before his injury I thought he was more than good enough to be first choice cb for us. Seems Gerrard doesn’t trust him but if that’s the case and Helander can’t play we need to bring someone is as the other two are not good enough.

Get in! Hammer these bastards now Rangers!

Do any others use Parks? Every contract is going to be different and would imagine it’s a case of Parks inserting a clause that prevents us promoting other car leasing/sales companies? Has to be more to it than just one of our board owns a rival car sales business, we wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.

Just got in fro work, how we playing?

Quite incredible when you think Gerrard came in and took over the dross from Pedro’s squad, 3 seasons later we have a squad like that that could quite easily field 2 starting 11’s with enough talent to win the league. Massive credit to Gerrard and his recruitment team, and the board for backing them.

Vettel potentially about to be dq’d as he didn’t have enough fuel left in the tank at the end of the race.

What a race that was! Total fuck up from merc but bloody brilliant drive from Lewis to make the places back. Battle between him and Alonso had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, ultimately Fernandos incredible defending cost Hamilton the win. What a brilliant season this is so far, shame about the break now!

Someone please post the interview!

😂😂😂 fucking brilliant! What a way to start the season 🇬🇧

Not often I get a prediction right 😂, shame I didn’t put any money on it!

Fs Hagi off. Not even half a game played and Scottish hammer throwers have injured one of ours.

Brilliant Hagi! Must have had 5 of 6 of them throwing themselves at that!

Yesssssssss

Sound of the fans singing simply the best while the players walk out as champions! Incredible! 🇬🇧

Can’t bloody wait for this to get started now! Surprised to see McLaughlin starting but he’s never given me any reason to doubt him. Confident we’ll get a decent win today, going for 3-0 🇬🇧

Imagine they ended up throwing sharks before the league has even started 😂

The money involved in getting to the cl group stages means the league is the absolute priority. Cups are a bonus, but certainly a decent showing is expected. The game against the taigs in august will be vital. Beat them early on and they’ll totally implode again, turn on the manager, board, players etc. Genuinely believe that with the shambles they’re in, an early result will eclipse anything we saw last season.

I’m not saying any of those teams are not the worlds top teams, clearly they are. However if your discounting England from being one of the top teams right now, based on easy runs and past wins then you have to take into account Frances absolute failure in the Euros, or the teams playing in the copa America. No one is saying England are the best, but on current form with the current squad they have to be up there.

Are you seriously going to talk about easy runs and then put France who drew with Hungary and lost to Switzerland as one of the top teams? At least England won their ‘easy’ games! Italy couldn’t beat England over 120 mins. Brazil haven’t won a World Cup for nearly 20 years, last time they a copa america was against an ‘easy’ Peru before that your going back to 2007. Argentina have just won a copa America after a run against giants like Ecuador and Colombia. Apart from that they’ve won nothing since 93. The exact same logic and criticism can be applied to those teams (apart from Italy) just as easily as England.

Isn’t it funny that when England are confident about beating said teams they’re arrogant, then when they beat them they’re ‘easy’ games. I also remember rival fans telling us Germany, Italy, Croatia and the Danes would all beat us comfortably and yet none did apart from the winners Italy who couldn’t win in 120 mins and had to do it via pens. Look back through tournaments of times gone by and plenty of teams have had so called easy runs to the final and it’s never been mentioned until it’s England and the haters need some straws to clutch. Out of interest who are the top international sides right now?

So your judging the current crop of England players on the failure of teams before them, makes perfect sense. You do not get to the semi final and and final of successive tournaments without being a top side.

What has the last time they won anything got to do with how the current team perform? If St Johnstone did it in the league, the country’s top competition the same as the Euros are to UEFA or the World Cup is to FIFA then absolutely they would be considered one of the top teams at that moment in time.

Come on, you don’t get to a semi final and final of successive tournaments without being a top team no matter how much Scotland fans wish it wasn’t true. Italy were the team of the tournament and couldn’t beat England in 120 mins. The Germans were runners up in the so called group of death and England made it look easy. If England are not one of the top European teams right now I’m not sure who is. Spain who went out on pens to Italy the same as England? Belgium who were beaten by them? France who drew with Hungary and were knocked out by the Swiss? The Dutch who went out to a Czech team England beat comfortably? You can not like England, but if people genuinely can’t give this young team credit for being one of the best international teams around at the moment then they need to have a look at themselves.
