Popular Post Perth_Campsie_Ger 18,006 Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think it shows how far we have come when wr are frustrated with a draw with spartak in the group stages of the europa. At the start of the season I think mist of us would have taken that if it was in offer 32Blue, BridgeIsBlue, .Williamson. and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Most folk expected our biggest achievement would be to reach the group stages but now we're there we're disappointed with a draw against the Russians. And we should've won. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,650 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Cant believe the amount of negativity tonight, you would think we had lost the game. So yes it shows how far we have come. People need to let the team grow instead of picking holes in every slight mistake.

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm frustrated with the way we gave the ball away at times and that we could not take any of our chances.but I am over the moon with a draw against such strong opposition. And we even bossed the game at times and against spartak Moscow is something to be proud of along with being unbeaten in 11 games in Europe. Well done the Rangers now onto hampden.

NeoGeo7 10,536 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 When one of their players cost spartak more than we spent this entire summer on transfers you need to have a bit of perspective. However that’s the Rangers way, never be happy with second best as it’s wha makes us the best. That game was there for the taking and I just hope we can get something over there in 2 weeks as I think Villarreal are going to win the group comfortably now.

Popular Post The Ibrox Derry 8,905 Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 As Gerrard said, we are disappointed to only be taking a point against a Champions League team, does indeed show how far we have come. Iam as demanding as any supporter, I want to win every single game, and do it with a bit of style, but that is unrealistic 100% of the time. We have just set a new Scottish European record, that is what will go down in the history books, and it is something to be very very proud of. markem, Spliffy, MattyBlue and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

don logan 8,068 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 We've made huge strides. Best team since the wheels came off. Far better than virtually everyone expected when Gerrard got the gig. If we are still in touching distance in the league and Europe come end of November, it will be astonishing progress.

SIRB_72 4,001 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Agree with OP. A lot of people going a little wild after tonight. Despite frustration at moves breaking down snd missed chances we actually should have beaten that mob if you take the 90 minutes into account and not just 20 minutes in the second half. Considering people are going a bit OTT that we didn't beat Spartak Moscow let's just remind ourselves that 12 months to the day we drew 1-1 with Kilmarnock at Ibrox despite being 1-0 up with a penalty in stoppage time, we'd lost 2-0 to fucking Motherwell in a semi 3 dsys before and Pedro would be sacked after the draw.

There was a post during the game, where someone expressed the opinion...the performance wasn't acceptable, there should be no excuses, we've come a long way and should expect a win. How many of the team had experienced same... at Ibrox, on a night like this... Nerves? Of course there were, simply expected... It's an immense stage for the uninitiated.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,752 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 We have come a long way, but still got miles to go. The inconsistency is the big frustration, I expected it but by fuck it's a kick in the baws at times. We need players to not drop below a 7, with a good chunk of them punching way above that. We've had 3s and 4s too often, and by too many at one time (several times now), and that's got to improve. I'd argue it would benefit from stability in the team rather than chopping and changing. And not dropping players on form as has happened with Katic and Middleton. And choice and timing of bloody substitutions. It'll improve, but we really could help ourselves with some quick simple fixes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
