Rangers Match Thread 2017/18

Didn't watch yesterday's game as was out all day. I spoke to one of my Uncle's this morning. He watched the game and said that the 'Gers are still way behind Celtic. He said that there is no leadership on the pitch. We talked about that and agreed that Barry Ferguson was probably the last decent leader on the park. My Uncle has followed the 'Gers since the sixties and has seen some great 'Gers players and leaders in that time e.g. Greig, Gough and Butcher.

It's truly depressing. The gap is huge, they strolled around Ibrox like Real Madrid and we were like a bunch of wee lads trying to catch them. Your uncle is right there are no leaders on the pitch, I think Kenny Miller is about the only player who really understands the dynamics of the Old Firm. The guys we've brought in in recent seasons haven't a clue, Pedro hasn't a clue and it looks like there's no "Rangers" guys in the background who are instilling the right message. Games against them have to borrow from Bill Shankly always been more important than life and death - you can see the Celtic set up still sees it that way but the Rangers guys just look out of their depth. They seem to be in awe of them and that's just not good enough.

When will it end? I've no idea but I don't think it will be this season. What will it mean for Scottish football if they complete another unbeaten domestic season? I'm not sure either but the lack of competition has got to be very bad in the longer term.

We need more Scots and Ulstermen - guys who have grown up dreaming of pulling on the Rangers shirt and who are prepared to put everything on the line. If I was Dave King I would be seriously looking at the Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill as the next Rangers manager. What he is getting out of an average group of players is incredible and he has everyone at Northern Ireland pulling together towards the same goal. That's what we need at Ibrox.       

 
A much better performance and result tonight. And kept a clean sheet. Three good goals. The one from Dorrans was probably my favourite. Hopefully they'll keep the momentum going and start to understand what it means to play for the 'Gers.

Hard to know where to begin with any comment on Rangers but Pedro has gone, yesterday's performance at Hearts certainly looked better, we'd be lost without Kenny Miller.

Given all that has happened since August to be only 6 points behind Celtic seems a surprisingly positive position. Their lead is however only likely to grow. 

McInnes or McLeish seem to be the choices. I would be inclined to go with someone who knows the club inside and out at this stage.

Yes, it's been a crazy time at Ibrox. Didn't see the game against Hearts as was out but saw the goals. Three good goals. I noticed that Kyle Lafferty didn't celebrate after he scored for Hearts. 

Agree that someone who knows the club should be appointed. 

 
Big Kyle would apparently like another chance at Rangers - I think he's matured a lot since his first spell at Ibrox but he is an unusual striker in today's game and I don't know if he'd fit in with the current Rangers set up. He's not that popular with a lot of the Rangers support so I don't know how a return would go down. Ulster Bears would love it.

The next 3 games are all winnable. Thistle, Hamilton and Dundee. 

 
Yep, my friend!

Successful and always and everywhere a man of the people! The fans gonna love him!

Sounds great Krc-fan - just have to wait and see if they make the appointment. I wonder what my friend @Boyne  thinks about Preud'homme?

 
Should we ask him?

(You can find him at 'Musical connections take four')

@carrickblue I remember him as a player but haven't kept up with his managerial career so am not sure what to think. I saw a rumour this morning that Derek McInnes could be appointed early next week.

A good result yesterday. An impressive card display before kick-off.

A disappointing result on Saturday. However, a wonderful and moving reception for Fernando Ricksen. So sad to see him suffering from ALS (Motor Neuron Disease). Looking at pictures of him on the touchline at Ibrox showed what the reception meant to him. His illness puts football into perspective.

 
Two great wins over Aberdeen. Always nice to beat them. Hopefully the start of a good run and sets them up nicely for the game on 30 December at Septic Park.

 
Well having watched Chelsea's woeful performance at West Ham, the long suffering Rangers fans amongst us now have to get through a home game v Ross County. In a week when the club was rejected by Derek McInnes you have to think it can't get much worse, come on Rangers! 

 
Good to see the 'Gers beat Ross County on Saturday. Made up a bit for our result at the Pikeys home. Will be a tough game against Hibs. Hope the 'Gers beat them to annoy Popcorn Teeth.

 
I haven't watched the footage of the game but by all accounts it was a shambolic performance from the 'Gers. A win would have been great after Aberdeen won. But not all doom and gloom. Septic were thumped 4-0 today by Hearts. 

 
So nearly 2 months after ditching Pedro, the Rangers board plump for Graeme Murty for the remainder of the season. This probably means they were unable to attract anyone else as much as it show some satisfaction with what GM has done over the last 6 weeks.

You get the occasional moan about the Chelsea board on the Shedend, usually about the lack of new signings etc...I can imagine the constant outcry on here if the Chelsea board performed like the Rangers board!

Still, it's important Rangers fans get behind GM and the team, some sort of positive result against the Tarriers in a couple of weeks' time would give everyone a lift. 

 
Hard to muster any optimism for tomorrow's Old Firm. If the Gers can avoid getting hammered that'll be a positive. A draw would be good, a Rangers win would be amazing. It could be a tough watch.
