SPWF 8,210 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Some really odd opinions on cups in here. We’re a big club off the back of winning trophies, it’s what we do. Dismissing them as pointless when we haven’t won one in 10 years just smacks of accepting we’re no longer a big club IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB14 2,760 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 No point thinking take Europe or cups over one another. The fact is we need to push as far as we can in every competition. Fans (including myself) sometimes think otherwise but the fact is we are all raging when we lose any game no matter who it is or what the circumstances. Europe is absolutely vital though, if we don’t do well there then there’s a lack of funds to finance doing well in the other competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cups are great to win ,finals are always a good day .But with the way finance is these days I would far rather win the league and have a euro run to allow us to stay as strong as possible . That way the cups will happen too . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Jim 897 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Sextuple is on. League, Scottish and Europa still on. Lawwell, Lennon and Sturgeon taken out. 55 will be one of the best years ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The league is no doubt the be all and end all this season in particular and we should always be ambitious in Europe But as a club we’ve always taken every trophy seriously and some of our best moments have come in the cup competitions. Each to their own but it doesn’t seem like Rangers to just totally dismiss a trophy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFamousPigeon 9,352 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It would be something. The first season we get the league back we also take the cup, and European cup (II), to boot.... Make it happen Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be going with the strongest squad possible for all tournaments/cups. The question I'd pose would be assuming we have the league done and dusted by end of March, this weekend would be better, do we sacrifice setting possible points, goals against and clean sheets records for this years campaign, by giving the core first team limited and managed exposure in the remaining league fixtures. Trophies in the cabinet, imo, trump goals and clean sheets. Those red, white and blue ribbons, adorning the oldest national football trophy in the world have been sorely missed. I'd point out that should we be crowned champions this weekend, as far as I'm aware, this will be the earliest the SPL, or old division one, has been called. We currently hold that record anyway.

Do you think the first team players would rather go further in Europe or win the Scottish Cup? I know the obvious answer is both, but I'm sure I know which they'd prefer. Listen, I want to win absolutely everything we can this season. Financially though, going as far as we possibly can in Europe this season will limit our losses and reduce the £23m or so we will need. My suggestion was also to play the reserves in the Cup, rather than the league. Again, I want as many records as we can throw a stick at. I just think that, in the earlier ties, if the quality of opposition allows it, play the reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
