Rangers Match Thread 2017/18

last chance coming up. after the embarrassment of the Cup semi surely to goodness we will put in a bit of fight on Sunday  

I hope they put up more of a fight. The thought of the Tarriers winning the league against the 'Gers is frightening.

if Steven Gerrard becomes the next Rangers manager I think that'll be me done...

Seems strange that he is on the short-list. Rangers need a manager with experience at this time. Rumour has it that McGregor may go back to Ibrox. A good goalie but has suffered from injuries. In his mid-thirties so has a few years in him.

rumours that its Gerrard with Gary McAllister as his number 2 - it's bonkers! Can't really be happening, can it?

Here's to the 'Gers winning at the home of the dark side today. Have read that Celtic are seeking revenge for the 'Gers winning at their place in 1999. Strange as Celtic fans keep going on about the 'Gers being a new club so how can it be revenge? Found this photo on Facebook the other day. Some great players. Who would make the greatest ever Rangers 11. A midfield of Souness, Wilkins and Baxter would be impressive. But then there are players like McLean and MacDonald. My late Grand-father said that the greatest Rangers player he watched was David Meiklejohn but as with all teams it depends on your age and generation.

Well, after Sunday and the Board pursuing an untested Under-18 coach maybe Rangers' best bet is to take the whole Chelsea youth squad on loan.

Murty resigns. The board will be panicking if they can't land Gerrard after all the talk. Never known any club to be in such disarray. Laughing stock hardly describes it.

Jimmy Nic and JJ until the end of the season. Guess it's 4th place then.

A crazy game at Easter Road. 3-0 down and then a great come-back to lead 5-3 before the game finished 5-5. Some poor defending. Great strike from Alves to make it 3-3. A shame that the sheep shaggers won against them so Rangers finished third. Scott Allan should have been sent off for the dreadful tackle on Rossiter. As for Chris Sutton, he really struggles to say something good about Rangers. But then he can't say anything good about Chelsea.

Rangers have had 40,000 season ticket renewals for next season: a record. Ibrox has a capacity of 50,000. As a consequence away fans will receive a smaller allocation of fans. The biggest impact will be when Celtic play at Ibrox. In the last few years, Celtic have had the whole of the Broomloan Stand i.e. 8,000. From next season they will receive only 800 tickets and will sit in the corner section between the Broomloan Stand and the Sandy Jardine Stand.

Good news for Rangers yet having so few away fans, do you think that will that damage the atmosphere?

Some of the teams in the SPL only take a few hundred fans to Ibrox at the moment. It's only when the likes of Celtic and Aberdeen play there that the away fans are given more seats. Up until now Rangers fans who have ST in the Broomloan road have to sit elsewhere: their season tickets don't cover Old Firm games and are very angry about having to move. There will be an impact on the atmosphere but it will still be "spicy."
