MOTM Poll Rangers v St Johnstone - 19:45 Wednesday - RangersTV

[Apple Shampoo]

The type of game we would likely have slipped up in in previous seasons (chance to put real pressure on Celtic).

Important that we win these games in hand, 3 points and as comfortable as it gets.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Think it’s telling that the manager seems to be preferring Wright to Matondo.

Seems like it, even giving McCausland the full 90.

 

[Unicorse]

We made that a struggle

No

St Johnstone did!

Man alive do people not understand football?

 

[Blootoonboy]

We are still a very limited side. No composure at all in front of goal

Except for the two goals we scored which required composure?…

 

[Eddie Doc]

Least said the better. Move onto the next one. We need some quality even if it's on loan.

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

question is though, if he gives red and VAR says it's not, is he able to downgrade to yellow?

Yes

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Job done, next!

This

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Still trying to process that MOTM opinion

Ha! Got the goal, won the penalty, pressed well. Nobody played particularly well.

 

[govan86]

Tough watch but job done and on to the next one. Thought Dowell went about his business effectively. .

 

[DAS77Ibrox]

A "Walter" special

Strikers cannot finish, abhorrent hammer throwers as the opposition. Goal in the first half, hammer thrower gets himself sent off, goal in the second half, clean sheet, see you on Saturday when nobody can remember who we beat tonight.

See you on Sunday though.

 

[EC54]

Clearest plenalty award ever.

Thank fk.

It will still be mulled over tomrow along with the sending off by you know who

 

[Stuartyrangers1]

3 points it's all that matters

 

[Valley Bluenose]

As much of a slog as expected. Now we await injury news.

 

[JayDee]

Should have been a bigger score but well done on the win.

 

[IslayGer]

Who's our other game in hand with

 

[Bryanmc]

I think considering the 5 changes it’s been a comfortable night with Dowell looking good on his comeback

 

[Pollokbear]

Job done. 3 points is all that matters. Gap closed to 2 points with a game in hand. Aye it wasn’t pretty but who cares.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

A slog with a team loaded with fringe players, up against a well drilled team.

Good result considering. Not fun to watch.

Hopefully Lundstram is just a precaution. Can't afford to lose him.

 

[Blootoonboy]

Great win and now only 2 behind with a game in hand.

The 3 points is all that mattered and it took them until 91 minutes or so to have a shot.

Wasnt pretty but it was effective.

 

[LyonGer]

Good win. Never really in doubt.
On to Sunday.
The aim should be top of the league before the break.

 

[DarylSomers]

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

Souttar wasn't elbowed. He headered the back of the St Johnstone players head.

I stand corrected.

 

[Rangers All The Way]

It wasn’t pretty but we got the vital 3 points. Onto Christmas Eve.

 

[WillowBear]

I just cannot see the point of persevering with Lammers.

Well now Beale has a job a time for a phone call and shift on a couple of his signings

 

[IslayGer]

3pts tonight that's the MAIN thing.

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Another 3 points in the bag, fantastic. Hopefully J.L not a concern.

 

[devilman]

3 point, gap cut again. Clean sheet.

Wasn't a great game but some decent performances in there. Dessers was good when he came on. Sterling was good when he came on. Thought Dowell had a thoroughly decent game - a clever player with a good range of passing and can spot a space to pass into.

Butland had nothing to do. Could have gone home at half time.

That'll do. Onto the next one, Motherwell in a couple of days. Although, sad it's another bunch of hammer throwers.

 

[Cooper_11]

Quite a bland performance but it’s 3 points and I’m delighted.
5 changes to the starting 11 and an early substitution, so all round it’s a good night.
Just hope it’s not bad news on Kemar Roofe.

 

[FidelChaztro]

The Lammers experiment needs to be over.Every one of us can see he's not good enough.He's also gonna cause us a problem at some point.

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Dessers my motm but St Johnstone made that game as poor as can be. 3 points in the bag and on we go

 

[Glass Onion]

Job done and nice to see that points gap closing. BUT, 28 shots, only 8 on target and only 2 goals. Dessers looks like he's improving (a bit) but needs to sharpen up that touch. He could have had another two tonight if his first touch didn't let him down.

 

[Gazp]

Ha! Got the goal, won the penalty, pressed well. Nobody played particularly well.

entitled to your opinion but you need to stop drinking the el dorado

 

[Rangers All The Way]

I just cannot see the point of persevering with Lammers.

Exactly this, how does he get the game time he’s getting?

 

[skorn]

Those last two free kicks outside our box that St J were awarded -- the first was from Dessers, who was shoulder to shoulder with an opposition player as the ball was in the air, then the St J player collapsed on the ground.
The second was when Cantwell was caught on the wrong side of the attacking St J player and his opponent went down for no apparent reason.

Two quite dodgy decisions given in succession there.

 

[Calgacus]

Only thing that matters is 3 pts.
2 goals, clean sheet & Dessers continuing to be effective are all plus points.
Negatives are the injuries.
Hopefully Lundstram is ok.

 

[Jock Battle Fever Wallace]

That will do nicely. Well done Bears.

 

[Loud and proud]

Three points and move on. I can say with confidence, that’s a game I will never watch again.

 

[Cambuslangger]

"They're gonny score" At no point were they ever scoring.

Apart from when our two central defenders went to sleep again and the boy was nearly in on goal….

 

[Camy]

People saying awful performance must have forgotten the many “chips and up the road” wins like this under Walter.

Some poor individual performances, but overall we have made chances and should have got the second sooner - I’ve seen plenty of games over the last 3 season where created little.

Agree with this. Given the last 2 games and a number of changes / injuries, all we really need is the 3 points and as many people as possible coming through unscathed.

Dessers had a good game which was pleasing. Some frustrating / disappointing performances in there too but a win is a win.

 

[warfieldranger]

Good win to cap a successful week, but should have been more comfortable score-wise.

 

[Oshahoorsir]

Job done and manager using his squad well.

No stand out performances so Dowell edging MoM for me.

 

[DerHammer88]

Thought we played well tonight considering only one team turned up wanting to play.

Plenty of positives. McCausland is the right winger we've been crying out for for years, Dowell was very good and could be useful for the remainder of the season, Tav, Lundstram, Dessers all solid performances. Ridvan gave the ball away quite a bit but he tries to make things happen when he's on the ball, don't mind that at all.

3 points and up the road.

Just hope Lundstram's injury isn't serious. Roofe, what can you say? Got to feel sorry for the guy but he ought to retire.

 

[Jamiegatami]

Dessers was my motm, we were instantly better when he came on.

 

[bkkbear]

A slog with a team loaded with fringe players, up against a well drilled team.

Good result considering. Not fun to watch.

Hopefully Lundstram is just a precaution. Can't afford to lose him.

knowing our luck, out for about 7 days......

dont think any of the replacements did themselves any favours tonight. dowell is still playing his way back so semi pass for him, but not the rest.

 

[LyonGer]

Least said the better. Move onto the next one. We need some quality even if it's on loan.

Players injured etc.
The gaffer can only piss with cock he has.
At no point did we look uncomfortable.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Who's our other game in hand with

Away to Hibs.

 

[RangersLad1983]

The problem is he is not off form. That is as good as it gets.

PC put

I think considering the 5 changes it’s been a comfortable night with Dowell looking good on his comeback

I don't think the manager played the right team to be honest and maybe just me but Goldson is not looking strong enough for me now and some of his passing is woeful,I would be interesting if anybody agrees.

 

[GazzaLegend]

Very good win, difficult to keep momentum up after the kind of week just gone.

Brilliant job boys, total control, 3 points and a clean sheet.

Well done to Dessers tonight as well, decent no9 performance.

 

[inigo]

Dowell looked solid enough in there .

Alan Muir's wife's a whore.

She was at my Christmas night out.

Did she have Santas on her knickers ?
