Looks to me asif we got bullied today! Could not understand why we didnnt play arfield from start? Halliday i like alot fellow renfrew boy but why start him? 

I honestly thought Halliday played well today and if he had not taken a knock would have played the whole game.

Having said all that we do need Coulibaly back a.s.a.p.

[Amac9 2,060]

Going to be ruled out of next 2 games.

More complications than originally thought.

Not the news we were hoping for. ☹️

[BlueMe 25,327]

Midfielder Lassana Coulibaly is fighting a losing battle to face Ufa in Rangers' Europa League play-off in Russia – and it set to be ruled out of Sunday’s derby.

The Mali star is still struggling to shake off a thigh injury sustained in the recent league game against St Mirren.

Coulibaly, 22, has been a revelation since joining on loan from Angers in the summer but has missed four matches and isn’t expected to travel to Russia on Wednesday morning.

His absence from the tie will also jeopardise his chances of making Rangers' first clash of the season with celtic at Parkhead.

Boss Steven Gerrard has admitted his and the player's frustration at the unwelcome development ahead of a crucial double-header, starting with a showdown with the Russians on Thursday.

Gerrard said: “Lassana is doubtful, very doubtful. The injury has come with more complications than we originally thought

“The physio and doctor are doing everything they can to get him back as quickly and safely but he is a big doubt for Ufa.

“I am sure he’s frustrated and disappointed and so am I as a manager because he started so well and I want him available so I can pick him.”

5 weeks out? What the fuck happened?

Personally I would have left him out for Thursday anyway to let him rest. Missing him Sunday isn't going to be fun but with their defence in the state it is in currently if we can't score we need to fucking wake up.

[BlueKnight87 17,284]

Coulibaly missing the old firm would be a big blow.

If he's out expect it's Jack Arfield and Ejaria Sunday.

Could see it being Jack Halliday and Arfield dunno about Ejaria in that kind of game.

[gogzy 31,195]

He has been a tough loss.  The team does not look as strong with him out of it.

[LOL153 No Surrender!!! 1,810]

Fuck, that's all I have to say on this. 

[stevemartin1991 262]

him not being fit for Sunday is massive. Brown always seems to stroll Old Firms and i honestly believe Coulibaly would have dominated the midfield. gutter.

[Swagger 7,922]

Huge blow. Typical of our fucking luck.

It must be frustrating for guy missing out on two big games. I bet he's chopping at the bit to get back on the pitch.

Get well soon Coulibaly , wishing you a speedy recovery

By the time he’s back for the next game after Sunday he’ll have been out about 5 weeks

I'm really hoping he's in the starting eleven , also if this is what the Boss actually said , lets be positive for a change . 

(I canny see from the article ,anywhere that the Boss say's he's out for Sundays game )

Got a horrible feeling that our very early season momentum is already starting to grind to a fucking halt. Sincerely hope we can get him back ASAP as we need our best players fit with the squad depth being fairly limited. 

Dreading a physical capitulation at the scumhut as it’s an all too familiar sight watching us disintegrate there. Our consistent habit of losing key players ahead of games against the fucking scum cunts is a nightmare.

[the cry was no 3,034]

He was the victim of a shocking tackle by a tarrier bastard who will be delighted he has been unable to play since. I hope I'm wrong but it has too many similarities to the Dorrans and Jack situations where they were assaulted on the field to little furore and the injuries went from being "knocks" to much more serious in the weeks after. We should be screaming about these things in the media 

 

Sorry to repeat myself guys but the tackle was a shocker and we really should be screaming about it. 

 

Far too much like Dorrans and Jack scenarios and pure and simples a fucking shocking tackle.

 

Coulibaly has been missed so badly

He’s also the only midfielder we have that dominated Brown in an old Firm. Not ideal but better than Ejaria.

Aye I think he’ll suit playing against teams who sit in better than away to the taigs where we’ll need to be tight.
