MOTM Poll Rangers v Hibernian - 20:00 Thursday - Sky Sports

[loyd_grossman]

Showed a bit of fight and character. Would like our centre half's back next week though.

 

[MearnsBear]

Some of the posts on this thread were an absolute shambles. Good result considering we had two cms at cb.

 

[Soblue2001]

First match thread this season without the word 'turgid'.

The Bealedozer

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Now that is an identity of a Rangers team.

Just need some defenders back as can't be having that happen again, but going forward we looked fantastic

 

[SouthsideTrueBlue]

So many of the first half posters disappeared like snow of a dhyke.

I was one of them, called it like i saw it, we were a shambles at the back and didn't look like winning.

 

[ANB55]

I hope i never have to listen to a game on bbc sportsound again.

 

[perthshireblue]

Much better second half. Sort out the defence and we'll be in a good position to move forward.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Superb second half, Ryan Jack outstanding. Lots of energy in midfield and forward areas, less rigid. Keep this up Rangers.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Fair play to the team - and the manager - for turning that round.

What a relief. Needed that win.

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

Enjoyed the game

 

[bad boy boogie]

Crocker is absolutely gutted.

Just like that wee bastard mc leod on radio shortbreid,praying for a hibs leveller and ramming down our throats how the tims were 9pts in front but 10 if you count goal difference...fucking tim beadrattler prick.

 

[dt17]

That Lee Johnson is a wee prick!

Complete odd ball.

 

[the blue bear]

Makeshift defence again, but second half was excellent. More to do, but happy with that.

It's all we have at the moment. a few scary moments but we were much better in the second half.

 

[Stuart pid]

Yes I noticed on here Morelos had scored a minute later I saw the goal on RTV.

Couldn't even rewind it get back to the goal. Will have to wait for the highlights I guess. Or hope when they put the full game up it's not missing any action.

 

[alex wright]

First half no so good, Second half good.

Thanks for the summary Chief Obvious

 

[Penilee Gers]

Thank %^*& had a shit day with flu thats helped my mood.

 

[Stuartyrangers1]

Domination in the 2nd half, we really need that defence sorted asap

 

[Bro989]

Am I reading too much into Ryan Jack's jokey exchange with Porteous at the end there?

 

[PunkScott]

My RTV froze at 55 and returned at 63, so I missed the best part.

Well done Rangers

Shout out to John Lydon coming on for Hibs as well.

 

[Arminius]

Yes, much more relaxed now, first half I was thinking how drunk can I get tonight?

Me too. And I was trying

 

[BigBassey88]

Rolls Royce Kamara back tonight. So glad to see he is being utilised correctly again

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Devine had a really good showing. Working off that flank as a right footer has helped us retain the ball but I'm surprised how strong he was on his left and how keen he was to have a go at their right back.

Bright future.

I don't think we were as bad first half as most on here but the one big improvement second half was Devine pushing right up high.

Whether that was just him trying to play safe first half or a reaction to the shit show inside him he was pretty reluctant to get fully forward. Second half he was playing on the Hibs by-line and that helped keep Hibs penned in and also gave us much more threat on that side.

 

[Sherbet Dab]

Good result in the circumstances and strangled Hibs in the second half. Just need a few more bodies back. Jack and Kamara were excellent, young Devine came onto a game in the second half, stayed high up the pitch.

 

[Inverhouse]

Far better 2nd half good 3 points.

 

[Blueranger45]

can't wait for Jack Ross's "advice" on this game at the end

 

[BigDadosBandage.]

Good win ,that defense is still murder

To be fair the defence was as patchwork as you will ever see.

Happy with that overall. Nice to see us playing with a bit of urgency and, in the second half at least, control.

 

[L_D]

That was fk'n hairy.

Well done Rangers.

Onwards

 

[jweebear]

Game of the two half's, we were much better second half, Hivs Hibs it.

 

[Allysgoldenboot]

Thank fcuk! Thought the worst after that first half but they got it back well in the second!

Definitely still work to do for the manager, it’s going to take some time by the looks of it, we need some injured players back asap and a freshen up with a couple players in January……. I hope!

 

[SDR]

FT 3-2

Really good 2nd half performance.

Second half stats:

 

[ssblue]

If MB can get a tune out of Alfie he still has a lot to offer.

Excellent in the 2nd half.

 

[Mickey Donovan]

Best player in the country according to some...

Lololol

 

[the upsetter]

Get it round ye Boydie... the future is bright.

 

[The Blue Saint]

Enjoyed the game

2nd half anyway.

 

[EC54]

We played a lot of nice football especially 2nd half but until we sort our defensive problems out then most games might end up a struggle.

 

[WillowBear]

I was one of them, called it like i saw it, we were a shambles at the back and didn't look like winning.

One went to his bed 1min before we equalised !

 

[Goldenboot]

3 points on the board and that's all that mattered on a freezing Thursday night.

 

[Neilstonger]

We’ve found another cracking right back in Devine. Played out of position in a makeshift defence and he was outstanding. The win was everything but that young man will go right to the top.

 

[bkerr72]

Sheer dominance 2nd half and a deserved win in the end. Some worrying moments defensively in the first half 2 goals were terrible quicker Goldson and Davies are back the better for us.

Great to see Alfie get his goal and Tillman with his 2 assists as it would have annoyed a few and will keep them quiet until Tuesday.

 

[oldblueeyes]

We are a different team when we are ahead we look far more assured. The secret is not to fall behind .
Major work defensively needs to take place short and long term and we need height in midfield, but a win is a win . We move on

 

[Airplane]

Much better second half

 

[insanicdrunk]

So what did we learn from that? Would Gio have turned things round at half-time?

Forget Gio, he is gone. Lets concentrate on a great victory.

So what was different in the second half? We destroyed them, they never got a sniff.

Tillman showing his worth tonight.


BTW, I might be wrong, bit porteous is signing for us. No winding up the Rangers fans at his goal.

 

[thegreatradish]

What a contrast in this thread pre and post 45 - rightly so though

 

[Alvor]

Take aways for tonight must include less ball between back 3 and more pressing forward than before. Alfie can last a full game

 

[bkkbear]

or blame the fact a professional footballer can't cross with both feet. Always staggered that players who are paid 1000s can't cross and shoot with both feet

can you?

of all the guys you lay blame at for that, its the one with the fewest appearances?

i would hazard a guess that he is paid far less than the majority of players at the club who cant play with both feet either.

 

[servicepoint]

Hard fought 3 points but a win is a win. Make shift defence, have we had anything else this season, get some CHs fit and we can get the league back on.

 

[Jorg Albertz]

Lololol

He still ain't though

 

[bilkobear]

It is actually a great way to win a football match if you enjoy having your heart in your mouth with a huge release when the winner goes in.
At the end, Hibs looked fckd.
Did we look a bit fitter?
As for MOTM a few deserved it, but Tillman just edges it.

 

[Carson1912]

Wee man took no well at the game had to leave at 2-1 down,he's pleased like me we turned it around.well done bears and %^*& they 19th Century Terrorist bastards
