nimrod 62 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You have to hope the personnel will be different when we reach the top tier, both playing and coaching staff.If we go into the Championship as we are I don't think that it is any certainty we'll be in the top tier come August 2015.Despite a remarkable win rate this year, anyone being honest with themselves must realise that we've struggled too often to grind out some results against third tier mostly part timers. Far from ready to step up.And just as a postscript. Where are the ££££ coming from to improve things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There's at least 5 teams I would guarantee would finish above us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullery 240 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have no doubt we would be in the top 4 , i believe playing in this terrible league is dragging the players down , , and after watching some of the thuggery dished out by these teams , the performance is effected by these terrible tactics and poor refereeing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz 78 918 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Rangers and the spl will probably be dramatically different by the summer of 2015 than they are now so not much point in trying to look into a crystal ball and saying we would finish 1st , 2nd , 3rd whatever we need to focus on the here and now tbh.

NixonRFC 1,333 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think we're on a par with Hibs, I think lime Hibs we'd have the squad that should be top 6 but don't have the squad to challenge for Europe let alone the title.If we done things properly last year then I think we may be in a similar situation at this moment in time but believe we could have had far more potential than we currently do.

RFC55 108,899 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Most Gers fans going to the games fear us getting back in the top league under Ally. Could get embarrasing.Fs mate you done a poll of the 45000? That's some going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,899 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's a moot point the now. It's like asking how we'd fair in the champions league qualifiers. Our squad will probably be much different come January 31st this season never mind this being the same squad come SPFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I expect there to be new investment and our team to look completely different by the time we get to the SPL.There is no way this team will be playing in the SPL apart from players like, Wallace Macleod and Law and maybe Nicky Clark?Our team will look alot different and alot of things will happen in the next 18 months.I don't think McCoist will be the manager as he seems to always want to sign players even though our CEO has said we have to cut the current playing squad and costs etc.........

OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Top 6 comfortably. Probably top 3.Plenty on here have a ridiculous overestimation of the quality of the teams in the top tier.Plenty on here have a ridiculous overestimation of our squad.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think the disparity between the four divisions in Scottish football is exaggerated and overplayed. Not a massive difference between the leagues, they're all full of shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think the disparity between the four divisions in Scottish football is exaggerated and overplayed. Not a massive difference between the leagues, they're all full of shite.As much as Scottish football is full of shite, there is a huge difference between part time, 2 days a week training players and full time mon-fri all morning training players. A huge difference. Especially ones getting paid thousands a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It will be a better squad but not that much better. The Championship will not be a canter, that is for sure but I expect Rangers to win it by a few games. That is to be welcomed because this squad is certainly a Premiership squad but it is not "battle-hardened" for that level at the physical and pyschological levels. We need sustained competition.If Rangers hit the top tier in mind and body, I would expect 2nd or 3rd spot, but could go as low as fourth.

PRW. 5,631 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Top 6 easy with a decent manager. Black, Law, Templeton, Daly, Shiels, Foster and Bell are all players who were SPL quality players. However, under McCoist I think we'd struggle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,516 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Bottom half given our current set-up.Top 3 with a better manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,162 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Top four, but we would have a very slow start Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,721 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Mid table as it stands.Second place if a better manager managed this squad.Even now, any team could match us if they had a good centre half who dominated Daly. We have no plan B Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,802 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Mid table.Watching the second half of the Dunfermline game I was amazed on how many passes we're going astray. No chance of challenging on what I saw - and that was one of our better performances Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiconicman 2,991 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 No idea as I don't follow the top league so no idea how good/ bad the other teams are now. Certainly compared to the clubs we left I think we'd get Top 6 but a few clubs would push us heavily for 2nd.If that is still the case or not I have no idea.
