Robmc1 4,741 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Not all of us in the Rangers family are fans of the manager (I am), arguably (or not) we have underperformed against teams in the SPFL who run on a fraction of our own budget that we should really have run over. We all feel the disappointment of no domestic trophy’s to date, however not one of us can have anything but praise for the European performance and kudos ‘SG’ has brought back to the club following the dark times of 2012. Walter Smith and Graeme Souness commentating tonight from Ibrox brought back the memories of the pride and standing we once commanded in world football, let no one be under no illusion, the last 3 years in Europe from where we have been under ‘SG’ is nothing short of Superb...

TMB 14,167 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 If you haven’t already, watch the full interview with Walter and Souness. Souness said Gerrard doesn’t have the budgets or ability to sign the quality of player they did so he’s done very well. Souness said once that first domestic trophy comes it’ll be one after the other. It’s clear as day we’re progressing under Gerrard. One or two quality players in and exceptional things will start to happen. I hope we do some good business in the transfer market in the coming day’s. This could be our year.

Canabear 4,582 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I thought Souness explained it perfectly when the subject was brought up pre -game i think. He said when you come up against other teams in the League most of them are made up of celtic supporters who want to beat you bad and Rangers supporters who want to get noticed and maybe have a chance of getting a transfer to Rangers or just doing well against them , either way these teams raise their games against you and that is what makes every game difficult and unique.

I remember Kevin Thomson explaining it as when you come up against Rangers you know you have to be at your very best, which makes sense too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really buying that. The tarriers don’t seem to have the same problem if you flip it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t be looking for easy excuses, we only have ourselves to blame for winning fuckall in recent years. It must change this season and only we can make sure that happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not “clear as day” domestically. hes been outstanding on the European front but domestically it’s been the same as the first two seasons (finishing 9-12 points behind).

We’re playing much better football this season. I see no reason why we can’t go to Parkhead and win that first Old Firm game. It seems like this team is in a very good place and there’s a unity and confidence there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t doubt we will go to parkhead and win convincingly, it’s against the jobbers in the league with 10 men behind the ball that I worry about mate.

The manager has switched up the formation to make it more attacking. We now have Roofe and Itten to help us and we didn’t last season. We’ll bring in another player or two in the days ahead. We’re still getting better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Great result and performance tonight, I criticise Gerrard a lot for domestic performances but you can't say enough about the man for how far we have come on the European stage, round about 3/4 years ago we had a manager arguing with fans in a bush now we are here.

Mafeking St. 408 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 This club is built on success and that’s trophies, they have big shoes to fill as so many fantastic teams in the past have been successful and that won’t change. Fantastic words from Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we bring a midfielder in that can pick a pass out against a 10 man defence and then I think we’ll be sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
