One player from that starting line up gets in our team from 2-3 seasons ago.

How have we got to a state where we are fielding a team worse off in 10/11 positions in a few years having spent the best part of £40million. 

Tavenier was already in the team 2-3 years ago so surely you mean 2 players 🤣🤣

[Ivybank 4,828]

Hearts will start at 100mph we will see if our player can cope

A Keep the clean sheets and we'll win games even with Dessers and Wright in a front 3.

Not happening with our fullbacks and the likes of Souttar and Davies.

[KeyserSoze 15,196]

I think Clement should shut up talking openly at pressers.

Far worse player now than he was then though

Pretty sure he will say current Tav is worse than that Tav.

I remember when everyone was wax lyrical over his honestly 9 months ago..

[Bigdave30 9,097]

That starting 11 is grim, mismanagement and wasted funds from top to bottom.

Lets hope we start to turn it around.

[ger4life_1872 30,432]

3 nil rangers , dessers , lawrence , danilo

[AdzKyle 8,523]

New season. New hope and sense of belief. Let’s hope the players attack and play fast football.

I'm still all for it. Why talk shite like saying we're ready when we've got Scott Wright, Lawrence et al prancing about.

[MattyBlue 17,590]

That team man

It's true and he is right.

The only player who makes the team three years ago is Diomande.

Worse going forward but he has always been awful at defending

I don't see any issue with his pressers. He says pretty normal and rational things that people either take out of context or purposely misinterpret.

Disagree, he's still great going forward. Just slower which makes his ability to track quicker players much harder.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,370]

Just win Rangers

there's honesty and then there's the rug being pulled from under him by certain board members

Happens with every manager we have. Everyone bought into Beale's used salesman patter and buzzwords when we were winning, as soon as results changed everyone called him out on it. When we were winning under Gio nobody mentioned his press conferences but as soon as it turned he was dull, boring etc. Don't know why people take much stock in what managers say publicly unless it's something really note worthy.

And if that lineup wins comfortably?

They should still be ashamed. 

A victory, even if its comfortable would be paper over the cracks of that starting 11.

True but he had athleticism to get him out of trouble which he doesn't have anymore.

[JockWallace 126]

Just sickens me to start a new season with this lineup. Particularly with Tav still leading the team. I am so done with seeing him. This team should have a much more fresh look than it does and a new captain to inspire it.
