Rangers 2018/19 Match Day Thread

hoping for a good performance today v St Mirren. it already feels as though the return leg v Maribor is more important so I'm fearing a slight drop off this afternoon as players try to stay fit for next Thursday 

 
so two league games in and Rangers have played longer with 10 men than they have with 11

good solid performance today 2-0 win; off to Slovenia! 

 
A really disciplined away performance last night saw Rangers comfortably progress to the play-off round. 

Gerrard is having a great start. In 10 unbeaten matches his team have scored 19 and conceded 3. They've not fallen behind in any game.

The Rangers revival is on this time.

 
Last night's game was difficult enough UFA sat back a lot and were pretty decent defensively. Rangers did get a goal and kept a clean sheet which is great for the return leg next Thursday. I'm reasonably confident they can get through to the group stages but this tie is by no means settled. 

Still unbeaten, still haven't gone behind - wow!

Motherwell next on Sunday with a score or two to settle over a broken nose.

PRIOR to the Premiership fixture against St Mirren at Ibrox Stadium on August 12 club legend John Greig was pleasantly surprised when he was presented with a stunning gift to mark his 60 years of service to Rangers.

Former manager Walter Smith made the presentation in the boardroom and director of football Mark Allen, managing director Stewart Robertson, director of finance and administration Andrew Dickson, chairman Dave King, director Alastair Johnston, global ambassador Richard Gough and directors John Bennett and Graeme Park were also in attendance.

Nine in a Row boss Smith said: “John, of course, is regarded as being the Greatest Ever Ranger and you can see why when you look back over the past six decades.

“Not only did he make over 800 appearances for the club as a player, lifting the European Cup Winners Cup’ as captain and winning three Trebles, he also went on to become the Rangers manager and worked behind the scenes in the PR and youth departments before becoming a director.

“He is now the Honorary Life President and if anyone deserves that role and title it is John. He is a great man and I was delighted to be asked to make the presentation to him.”

 
anyone sitting around wondering what to do before 4pm - put Motherwell v Rangers on

first half has been a fever pitch classic : currently Motherwell 2 Rangers 3 

 
Where to start with the draw at Motherwell. A crazy game especially the first-half. Great to see Kyle score a couple. His second was superb with a great header from a superb cross. Some good counter-attack play and was impressed by Barisic and Ejaria.

As for the defending. not much that Shagger could do for the first and second but some of the defending looked shaky and the marking was poor on a number of occasions. Hopefully a one-off. Anyway away in Europe on Thursday - I'll be content with a draw there - and then at Septic Park next Sunday.

Off to the pub later to watch Chelsea. Come on Chelsea!

 
Thought Rangers looked leggy for much of the second half and never got control of the game. Shame about the equaliser in injury time but maybe a lesson for Gerrard too. He left 2 strikers on when it was pretty obvious we needed to strengthen in the middle and give the defence a bit more protection

big week coming up - nervous now   

 
A bit off subject but today is the 30th anniversary of the 5-1 drubbing of Septic. It's the game where Ray scored with that cracking volley. Still one of the finest goals I've seen.




 
A good result for the 'Gers and finishing with nine men. I didn't see any of the game so can't comment on the sendings-off. Now for the visit to Septic Park on Sunday. Would love it if we beat them.

WE ARE THE PEOPLE!

 
not going to make any prediction for tomorrow but one thing is certain, this season's Rangers team have a different mentality and a never say die attitude that just wasn't there last season.

come on Rangers

 
McGregor saving the day so far with his unbelievable saves. But Rangers are dominated and seem all over the place atm. Upfront nothing much going on for Rangers alas...
