Mentality

[Loyal72 11,037]

Think today further reaffirms what most people already know, that the senior players in this side that have been here year on year, don't have the right mentality to succeed at Rangers.

That lot dropped points yesterday, we had a massive chance to put ourselves right back in the mix, and we come out half arsed, same shite we've all seen before, no urgency, no hunger, no anger or any real passion to actually go and take that chance.

We've seen it, again and again and again.

Tavernier, Goldson, Lundstram, Barisic, all looked as though they were going through the motions when they should be taking it by the scruff.

The mentality will only change, if these players aren't here to be quite honest.

@The Specky Forum Organiser just noticed your thread on those players, you can just move this into there as a comment.

The door was opened earlier on in season before OF game at Ibrox and we failed to take advantage.

The door was opened today and yet again we failed.

The sad thing is, no-one who supports us should be shocked. It’s what this squad does.

Unfortunately it doesn't come as a surprise.

We're still reliant on the same players who are now on a 4th manager at this point and have a history of collapsing under pressure.

Until we move them on we'll keep seeing the same. 

[SkylineBlue 23,367]

They simply don't have the character to play for Rangers. They cannot handle the pressure of winning trophies and nothing will change until there is a massive clear out. They're absolute fucking shitebags and I'm sick to my back teeth of it.

The problem  we have is we also have to clear out a lot of the duds bought in the summer too. We're in a terrible state.

[CoplandRoad83 3,255]

You can tell what's coming in the first 10, 15 minutes of these games.

The nerves and hesitation written all over the faces of our key players.

Thing that gives me hope is the confidence I have in our manager. He's been getting a tune out a bunch of duds.

The 2019 league cup final was massive. Thought at the time that we needed that to get that winning mentality but fucking blew it again. Better team on the day but still on the losing side

Thought Beales massive rebuild might see us turn a corner but the cunt has set us back 

[barrymorrison1 1,033]

This always chasing results after they’ve played doesn’t help either.

these players have had almost 24hr to get themselves ramped up, but as usual they have shrunk back to type.

they just cannot capiize on opportunities presented to them.

and another few weeks coming up of us probably playing catch up on a Sunday while they play on the Saturday. 
(Although I’ve not checked to see if this is accurate, but we will always be playing on a Sunday after a EL game).

[wully 47,415]

Was raging that Clement took his jacket off but then put it back on!

Kidding on tarriers 🤭

[the brown brogue 1,909]

Most of our players simply don't have the same insatiable appetite for silverware as the fans, they give the impression that the odd cup is a nice unexpected bonus but if we don't win it's a shrug of the shoulders and off they go home. The 'second-best is ok' mentality is too deeply ingrained into the squad now to change without a major overhaul.

[KingKirk 25,650]

I'll always go back to it until we get a team of similar level to before we hit the shit we won't compete year after year for trophies. If that's not possible over a number of years then we are fucked.

That’s probably the worst I have ever felt after a domestic cup final loss 

Literally went to bed immediately after the game

Don’t talk shite all your life mate

We need shot of a number of players but that celtic side is absolute dross aswell and their success rate in terms of signings has been every bit as bad as ours recently, Ange’s freak couple of years aside. 

Had Clement been in charge in the summer and had the money Beale had, I’d dare say we would be top of the league right now

That mob can be as shite as they want fact is we will remain a distance behind them until we can get a group of players who can compete for titles we don't have that. How do we get it investment 

[NixonRFC 1,334]

Just back from Pittodrie, I'm annoyed we didn't pull points back on the tims today but I'm not as annoyed with the team as I have been recently after dropping points, we gave away a really snide goal and after getting away with one just before it, that should've really been the warning sign we needed, however I thought we played some decent stuff, definitely in midfield anyway, our movement and interplay is a helluva lot better, we hit the woodwork 3 times and their keeper made a few good saves, we more than deserved that point and will play a lot worse and win games this season.

Not going to gaslight folk and convinve them we were brilliant but I thought we looked like a Rangers team who can win a title again and the more time Clement gets with these players the more of a tune he'll get out of them.

We'll catch celtic, they're falling to bits, big injuries, new signings nowhere near the quality of those they've replaced, in fighting with fans/club, their style of play reminds me more of us under Gio, everyone who hurt us last season is either gone, injured or simply not fitting into their new system, we seem to be united and building momentum whilst they're the complete opposite, disappointed we didn't win but I'm very encouraged with our direction.

We aren't good enough mate. Hopefully Clement can correct that over the next few years.

We need to replace a few players, you’re getting on like it’s a doomsday scenario we are currently in because we drew today

Missed opportunity definitely, but hardly the end of the world, they’ll continue dropping points throughout the season

Next few years

Literally in a cup final next month and still within touching distance of them in the league with a game in hand and 3 old firms left to play. Catch a grip 

[SPWF 8,232]

The leadership group are fucking losers. We’ll never build a winning side with them still in it.

I know what you're saying mate but I don't think they're anywhere near good enough either, they've regressed massively from last season, I genuinely think we'll catch them, sometimes you can just sense it, two year ago when they started gathering momentum while we were Champions you could see it slowly getting away from us, they had a feel good factor and everyone was positive and united, I think we're getting to this stage now, they are absolutely hopeless against a low block and thats what they face 90% of games up here, I'll not be surprised if we get another chance to make up points again next weekend.

If you think we can win this league you're kidding yourself on mate but crack on fair play. It simply isn't happening. The cup is huge get it won but in terms of the league it'll take a few years imo unless they implode of course

Yip.

Won't change until we revamp that defence.

Really surprised that someone like yourself who doesn't go to the football if its raining has chucked it at 8 points behind with a game in hand tbh.
