After we beat hearts then Kilmarnock i genuinely thought “we are winning the league” you push all the negative thoughts you have about the players right out of your head.I think if Clement had came in and dropped a few points in his first few games, the scum had a lead of a few points, then it wouldn't feel like it does now. Every Rangers fan got their hopes up that we were winning the league, that's why we're all feeling the way we feel at the moment.

The comfort blanket " Celtic are utter dross " they better than us, do you think Yahoo's care!!To be fair, this is the closest we’ve got (outwith #55). Our title challenges since Gerrard fell away well before now.
What is making this worse is that Celtic are utter dross. We had them on the ropes prior to Christmas, Rodger’s under enormous pressure and we’ve let them off the hook.
Because of where Clement has got us to, this feels like a big opportunity missed.
Well saidBecause the team is full of players who aren’t the fighting standard of a proper Rangers team.
Bunch of overpaid championship players.
Get them all to %^*&.
A decent summary of this season.It's been a weird season.
Started off under Beale poorly and went downhill until he was binned.
We had no hope, a broken team littered with 'serial losers' as they have and are being termed.
Clement comes in, unbelievably turns around our form and we win a cup, the scum falter and we take advantage. We also progress against the odds, to top our UEL group. Everything in the garden is rosy.
An OF defeat before New Year and we think right ok, not the end of the world and we move on.
We gathered some decent results (Kilmarnock & Hearts away) and you're thinking, Jesus we might actually be able to win this league. The scum are playing shite but they're picking up wins.
Then, Motherwell stun us at Ibrox and we think...okay wtf has happened here.
Slowly but surely the wheels start coming off and we end up where we are today.
League campain hanging on by a ball hair but realistically we've blew it.
We now face Hearts in the SC semi and they'll be right up for it.
Given our recent form, excuse me for having no faith now that we can even win this game.
From looking like a treble season to where we are right now.
A fucking disaster. Again.
This is the worst I've felt in the past few seasons. I always doubted we'd do it but secretly thought we had a real chance IF we could show the characteristics needed to win the league.As the title says every season for the past 4-5 years bar the 55 season we always seem to fall at the penultimate fence.
Agreed, but that person isn't Clement.We are stuck in a vicious circle of constantly pressing the reset button every season after asking a manager to come in and try to make chicken salad from chicken sh*t. We can't keep doing it. Burning everything to the ground to start again approach doesn't work. I think we'll eventually fall foul of UEFAs FFP rules if we do which will be an utter disaster.
We need to give somebody time to build a squad over several windows. If your concern is Celtic are going to overtake the trophy haul then make your peace with it because it will likely happen if we keep going the way we are. It might be a case of some short term pain for long term gain.
There isn't a magic wand for a quick fix unfortunately.
Agreed, but that person isn't Clement.
Summoned up wellI think it was Clement's 3rd or 4th game where we played Hearts, Danilo scored to win it in the 94th minute. I was thinking I was almost glad the manager seen, early doors, how these players react to adversity. I was almost thankful as it meant he would have seen straight away what would be required to sort this squad out.
Thankfully we won and for the next few months he, and the players, won the first league Cup in 12 years, qualified from the Europa Group, being the first team to beat Betis this season to get there, and clawed back 8 points to go ahead.
Even after all that I still had the fear we'd see the same collapse we've seen so often before. It feels like us fans aren't even angry at what's happening, more apathetic as this was expected.
Is it not?Agreed, but that person isn't Clement.
It’s not a comfort blanket, it’s the realisation that Rangers are up against one of the poorest Celtic squads in recent years.The comfort blanket " Celtic are utter dross " they better than us, do you think Yahoo's care!!

I agree it's one of their poorest squads, but utter dross I think was strong they're not the best in recent years for sure, and yes we lose this race it's a long road back Hooty.It’s not a comfort blanket, it’s the realisation that Rangers are up against one of the poorest Celtic squads in recent years.
Their results have shown that, and we have failed to capitalise. Our job gets a lot tougher from now on if they finance a vastly improved squad. Given how CL qualification goes for Scottish Clubs in seasons after next, the implications on our ability to overhaul those smelly bastards are massive.
Utter dross might have been hyperbole on my part, but players like Liam Scales FFS.I agree it's one of their poorest squads, but utter dross I think was strong they're not the best in recent years for sure, and yes we lose this race it's a long road back Hooty.
No I agree and you could probably name 2 or 3 more Hooty..I understand your/all our frustration.Utter dross might have been hyperbole on my part, but players like Liam Scales FFS.
