Shiels and Templeton subbed when we needed runners, then leave Daly on when he can't move.baffling.black and Daly are untouchable ,blacks a waste of space contributes nothing every game

If Moshni hadn't got sent off I could easily have seen us winning 4 or 5 one and everyone been content at the scoreline.

The performances have been rubbish lately and the second half (especially the last 20 minutes) was no different but the sending off played a large part for the poor second half in my opinion

Even if that's the case there's no reason we couldn't keep attacking a part time team, Walter Smith managed to win a national cup final with 9 men, Lennon had 10 men at Ibrox and got a draw should probably have won even.

McCoist chose to be negative, take off Templeton etc.

Yeah I don't disagree to be fair until we took Templeton off I thought we looked more likely to score - McCoist's subs after the red card weren't great

[Skyson1872 2,923]

How on earth can Brechin players be fitting than ours. Why was Temps + Deano subbed off and Daly+Black kept on. Why was no one moving when we had the ball, and eventually just giving it straight to them again. Why was Mohsni such a tit today.

Yep and the stadium told him certainly with the Templeton one anyway

We were playing poorly from the start of the second half, the sending of made no difference to the standard of play. Once again the officials seemed loathe to caution the opposition I'm sure kicking the ball away is an automatic yellow but not against Rangers apparently. As for the female assistant she seems incapable of seeing whats in front of her. There was a clear foul and what looked like an elbow 2 yards from her and the ref had to give the decision.

Its no excuse for the second half but it can't help when you have to guess what the decision might be. The 2 was lucky bto stay on and had the brass neck to complain about being booked for a body check on Temps!

well done again to the super rangers. winning is entertainment enough for now

[j1mgg 3,766]

Sad thing is, is that I am not even that bothered I missed the game today after reading the reports.

[Super1872 468]

The second half today was abysmal especially the latter part of the half.

Players looking uninterested and tired booting the ball up the park into space with not a rangers player in sight, not chasing it up etc I thought some of the players today were an embarrassment.

We shouldn't be scraping by at home to brechin with the squad we have, they are not performing to their ability and its fucking infuriating to see especially when it looks like they don't give a shit

[nachothelegend 1,932]

We have an inconsistency that is frightening.

Jekell and Hyde Team.

[ForeverBlue1872 463]

Not in the least bit surprised at Mohsni's sending off...

His attitude for the past month has been shocking..

As for Ian Black, how he's still starting is beyond me. His performances recently have to be seen to be believed.

Black was brilliant today, I lost count of the times he broke up the play and passed the ball well except for the couple of times in the second half where he played some poor passes.

[STEPPS BOY 73,923]

We must've been at different games..

A tad better than he's been the past month but that's not saying much..

Should've been sacked when we had the chance.

Must have. Some people can't find anything good to say about Black though regardless of what he does. One of our best players this season.

[Davy Cooper 777 6]

If Temps gets subbed because he's knackered, what the fuck is the story with Daly remaining on the pitch? He simply doesn't do enough to get tired, I know, but why does he even start. Professional footballers getting tired after 55 minutes or so, whatever next?

55 minutes and their knackered, what fecking training are they doing, 55 minutes thats like 1 set to Andy Murry ffs, we should look fitter than these part time teams and we DONT !!!!!!!

[STEPPS BOY 73,923]

First three months of season he was superb. Sine then, he's been back to the Ian Black of last season.

[hammer time 653]

If ally has any sense (no laughing at the back) he'd play gasparato and faure and try to build a young CB pairing.....the league is won so no harm in giving younger player the opportunity!

that has been said about most of our players in the last month or so, get the likes of Murdoch, Crawford and other youngters in the team yet still we have the same faces in week in week out regardless of how poor they play

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

I thought black had a decent game - plenty of tackles won but Moshni needs to get a grip - petulant kicking the ball awU and not intelligent.

Even with 10 men we looked like scoring and there goal was a once in a lifetime shot !

[The Monk 3,207]

Surely Gasparotto and Faure next week for CB's and not Cribari included

[weshallnotbemoved! 714]

For those of us watching actually in the stadium the shambles is much more apparent.

Hence the boos

[Shuggy 1,308]

17 points to win league but Dunfermline's points grab in the last 9 games has been only 55%, so I reckon we can wrap this up away to East Fife on 1st March or next game home to Airdire.

I think it took to the 30th March to clinch last year's title.

[weshallnotbemoved! 714]

Looking on the bright side, at least we are not Man Utd.

[ForeverBlue1872 463]

Surely Gasparotto and Faure next week for CB's and not Cribari included

That's what I would go with and hopefully Ally does, they'll stroll it at CB.

[Christchurch Rangers 1,229]

Mohsni being sent off was the game changer

up until then Rangers had been looking good: i was impressed with the snappy one touch passing that was going on and lets face it, it was only the Brechin goalie that was keeping them in the game and Rangers were very unlucky not to be 4 goals up,

Law and Black both had good games and was refreshing to see Law pressing forward at every opportunity

Brechins goal was a good one for sure, but it came totally against the run of play and apart from that shot, Brechin never threatened Rangers goal much.

The Mohsni gets sent off and it all became very very hard going for Rangers: they looked tired and worn out.

The last the minutes were hard going but we got there in the end with ten men.

Mohsni's recklessness almost jepordised Rangers today and he needs to put his hand up and take responsibility

Positives: Rangers passing the ball around with great movement

negatives: fitness towards the end; everyone back at corners (why?!!)

haven't seen Santa in his usual seat for a few games. hope he's ok. maybe he's still at his grotto?
