cogsy69uk 62 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 In the 1980’s and early 90’s the Rangers team that took to the field would run out of the tunnel and align in the centre circle. Facing each stand starting with main stand, the players would acknowledge the support with a wave and then go about their warm up and pre-match high fives etc This was a great sign of togetherness and team spirit, which we seem to have lost in recent years. Should we be looking to bring this type of preamble back to give the support the chance to cheer the team, to give our team the lift that the over promoted huddle does for the opposition?

Could do mate, but I don't think waving at the fans is going to turn Lundstram, Wright, Goldson, Dessers, Barasic, etc into good footballers.

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,116 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 There's still togetherness now. It's just collectively they're shite. Signing better players, with a stronger mentality and having a manager who gets the best out of them is more important than high fives and waving to the fans tbh.
