M4XGERSBF3 240 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I get the feeling alot of people will be more cautious this season. The #goingfor55 didnt help last season so makes sense but I genuinely believe if we get dorrans and another quality player we can take it to the wire.

Theulstervolunteer 1,859 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I expect the team to give 100% every time they take to the field to show their ability and battle for every ball for 90+ mins in each and every game no matter the opposition .... that's all you can ask of the players ... the manager will need to get the tactics and instructions right. That combination and we won't be far off having a good season. We have 10x the budget , facilities and support more than any other club in the country bar the taigs. To still be in contention for the tittle heading into the split will be the main aim European progress and a trophy will be just a bonus ..... Winning the title is the be all and end all for us atm imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Too many surrender monkeys in this thread, how do ppl know we won't do anything in Europe? Some crystal ball u ppl have, having not seen a ball kicked. I expect us to win every single game we play at Ibrox. We are Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 34,990 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Were spending the money to challenge. We'll spend close to £10 million this season and for what? To get within single points of the tarriers? Get a grip, were out to win the league and if there's no cups or Europa group stages then he needs to win the league. Fuck putting a successful season down to finishing second behind them. Some of our fans are starting to believe the pish the record came out with this week, basically claiming we should be quite content to play second fiddle to that mob because their the best team ever to grace football.

Valance1690 3,794 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Strong 2nd and within touching distance of them (max of 10 points behind) Europe..not to get a pumping and kill the buzz the fans have just now, Limassol will give us a right tough game, if we get past them some of the teams in the 3rd round are frightening with what we have just now Good cup runs...should at least be making Semi finals in both.

esquire8 41,914 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Anything less than winning the league is a failure and something we cannot accept, if we do we ain't Rangers anymore. Cup competitions I don't care about, a bonus if we do win any of them. But we cannot ever accept being 2nd to the unwashed, regardless of what happened last season. Fully expect Pedro to deliver the goods! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theiconicman 2,947 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 If we get Dorrans then man for man I don't think we have much to fear. Dembele would be the difference depending on how our new recruits do. They have yet to spend though so depends what they do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time we spent £10 million and thought aye second place will be successful, the majority should be happy with that. Never. We've not spent 10 million. And the last time we did it made our squad more valuable than any other in Scotland. This current spend doesn't. You then throw in the difficulties that our assembled squad of 8/9/10 new players have in gelling together. Under a new manager. Whilst we potentially still have to accommodate some underperformers from last year. Against a settled bheast squad who still have all bar one of their players, and who have shown excellent consistency and application domestically. A squad also full of internationals. But without a competitive ball being kicked (we'll ignore for now mediocre pre season) you're pretty much stipulating Pedro must win the league. If you ignore the "we're Rangers" rhetoric then common sense and logic suggests this is a build and at least 2 or 3 transfer windows and investment over that time frame will be required to get rid of more dross and bring in better players that will give us a squad not a team that can compete. And that competition will be needed to do just that to accommodate bans, injuries and form issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be more clinical and change the possession we had last year into goals so we are not relying on late winners having gone behind to a defensive mistake after having 70% possession and about 20 shots. Fine going somewhere away from home and other team has 11 behind the ball and it takes us 80/85 minutes to break them down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've spent £7 million so far with Dorrans and Walker hopefully coming in you're looking at over £9 million easily. So you presumably bought your season ticket on the basis that second place is fine? Their season will never happen again. Everything went for them, as teams in Europe like the Red imps have shown they aren't as good as you or others think they are. You're writing us off before a ball has been kicked, you don't know how cellic will do this season. Yes he must win the league, like I said if he fails to win the other two trophies or get to the Europa group stages. Not winning a trophy and getting put out of Europe in July is a joke of a season, especially when you consider money spent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StirlingBear72 476 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 With the right mentality the Old Firm's take care of themselves. I want us to be consistent against the rest. Picking up more points on the road and managing to win matches that we would have drawn last year. No more of this shiting ourselves from Tynecastle and the likes. We need a solid season which we can use as a platform for the next. In an ideal world too, only being in a position to strengthen with 3 or 4 good players.
