bluenose_n1 536 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We all remember that season as the ultimate last day win but few will remember that after 5 games we had 2 wins 2 draws and a defeat at the piggery and they won 5/5 leaving us 7 points behind oneils celtic were perceived to be stronger than us in every department but they went into there champions league campaign with a defeat against Barcelona and then the cracks started to appear in they're league campaign after champions league games i know we are shocking at the back but everyone one of us knows we are a better team than we are showing at the moment the point is I'm sure a lot wrote us off after 5 games that season and even when they won at Ibrox with a few games to go one paper had the headline Celtic are champions not saying we can or will win the league I'm just saying that we need to keep the faith and see how we go Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 19,159 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We had players like Prso, Novo, Buffel, Ferguson, Ricksen that season. The squad this season is horrendous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanRain 2,845 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Our defence included Ricksen, Moore and Hutton. Marvin Andrews also had a direct line to The Big Man that year too. We'd need a similar miracle this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be lucky to be within 15, in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,282 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Let's forget any talk of what happened in the past, I only care about the present and that game yesterday showed at present we are no where near the standard to challenge the scum. Souness built his team from the back, Smith did too, our defence is dross and our tatics are shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie 12,906 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The tims could play one team in the league and another in Europe and still stroll it. 2 sides and we don't even have 2 centre backs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 This Rangers side isn't capable of pulling back a 7 point gap. Can you honestly see this Rangers team going on a massive winning streak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO SURRENDER No one could doubt that you're being passionate, but MW and DW have had three transfer windows to shape the squad and it's not that great. Why didn't they get a hold of the players needed this summer? What baffles me completely is that we have Davie Weir as assistant here, and the defence is a fucking mess. Have respect for the big man by the bucketload, I just can't understand how this defensive omnishambles has happened on his watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i agree with you mate last season i thought Warburton was the best thing since Walter Smith but this season he has had no plan B and also having big Weir as assistant you would think that defence would be sorted. We had a dud on trial for weeks but decide to sign him on deadline day. Who knows what went on but you would think we would have more options. After watching that game again i could not believe how bad our defence was. First goal free header when we have a few good few ball watching, 2nd goal shocking defending big senderos never even put a foot in, 3rd goal defence split right open, 4th goal Barton just stood there and 5th goal fuck me we just threw in the towel and let an easy pass fall into the feet of one of the scum. Not sure if a got tht in the right order not the game i want to remember in years to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Barton with the 4th goal, he was trying to fill in at CB on his own. He's not big enough or tall enough to be one CB nevermind two. Thought it showed a bit of character to at least try tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley 1,402 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Really really wish I could believe in the OP's sentiments but I just can't see us turning things around. Hopefully a pasting in Barcelona might unsettle them as at the moment they are riding on a high and anything other than a defeat will make them think they're invincible.
