Match Thread Spartak Moskva v Rangers - 17:55 Thursday - BT Sports

[AmsterdamBear]

I think its quite obvious that he doesn't. Have we had the same team play consecutive games this season?

Imagine going to Moscow and rotating your squad this much. I’ll admit I wanted Katic in but that probably explains why I’m not a manager. We need a level of consistency with a strong starting 11 with players coming in and out for poor performance/ injury only.

Katic looks a wreck and no wonder. Lad needlessly dumped early in the season after seemingly forging a strong partnership with Goldson.

 

[Calico Jack]

From first to third, fuuck sake

 

[Bilbotheblue]

McCoist is talking out his fucken arse to say this is a "poor result".

Why?

 

[Batigol]

Is Katic drunk, he's just jumped for a ball at a corner about 3 seconds before it's anywhere near him

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Worrall wins out of this.

No one wins out of this for us.

 

[Gallant_Few]

A hate these horrible Russian bastards!!!

 

[Crown_Defender]

Do you think the same of Goldson (who has been worse) and Flanagan (the worst)?

Absolutely. Been a shambles at the back.

 

[TommyV]

We won a defensive header at a corner.

You read that right we won a defensive header

 

[Gazzaflag]

I think we all know this Spartak team are poor and were there for the taking tonight, can’t help but be disappointed in how we’ve played

 

[SenoraCuellar]

What the actual f*ck?

 

[blue barney]

Very poor defending and a lack of fight when we went behind.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

I reckon so. Which is a mistake. He unsettled and dismantled a settled and in form defence and has subsequently shattered the confidence of one of his players.

nothing to do with the fact that Katic was injured and has back issues from playing on plastic pitches

 

[Ziltoid]

We've not threatened at all since we fell behind. Very poor second half.

 

[Hammerinho]

Spineless in the second half and our defence should give us massive cause for concern.

 

[BucksBear]

Ejaria has been poor

 

[Teddyjohn]

He (Katic) has looked completely out of his depth tonight mate.

Spot on about Halliday. Baffling decision.

Goldson has been worse.

 

[Jayl9319]

Better players on the bench?

I would hope so compared to a few of our performers tonight

 

[KensingtonBlue]

Stupidity from Ejaria. Played right into their hands.

 

[Iain04]

Completely blown this, unless we can get a late goal

 

[GingerRanger]

The majority of goals we've conceded this season have been pathetic.

We can't defend a cross ball and a simple pass or running at the back four leaves us all over the place. Organisation in our box is non existent.

Is McAuley the answer to that? He can’t be any worse.

 

[Laudrup1]

How fucking easily do we play in to team’s hands who want to run the clock down?

 

[Ranger]

Your banter is absolute birth control.

Sadly, your mother.......

 

[First Touch In Europe]

McCoist is talking out his fucken arse to say this is a "poor result".

It's a terrible result.

 

[Danger Mouse]

C,Mon Rangers

 

[Jjbscotty]

Goldson has been mince since motherwell 2 month ago.

 

[Superrangers]

Can’t believe we are losing this. Been cheated blind by the officials and they have had two poxy deflections. Unbelievable.

 

[Stevie13000]

I am going to say it again and been saying it all season, our piss poor midfield is the reason we struggle in games.

 

[Lovenkrands]

Defence and midfield no show cost us.

Arguably could have beaten Spartak twice, and yet we take one from six.

Very difficult to qualify now.

 

[tazzabear]

Thrown this away against the poorest European side we will face all season

We do love to add jam to the negatives don’t we.
This side dropped out of the CL but are worse than first round qualifiers?

 

[servicepoint]

Threw it away.

 

[GBTQ]

No successful team has won anything by changing the centre half’s every other week. None. It’s showing.

 

[Chester Perry]

Tavernier
Flannigan
Goldson
Katic

You’ve let your goalkeeper down

 

[Laudrup1]

We might be screaming for it but it wasn’t a penalty. This mob are cheating bast@rds.

Popov should be off for diving.

He should also have had a penalty he didn’t get

 

[RFC4ME]

Why?

Christ sake..

 

[Realger34]

4 minutes cmon!

 

[E10H]

4 minutes added.

Geez a goal Rangers.

 

[grandmaster_gaz]

Bad performance nothing more to be said really

 

[silverbear]

So frustrating the number of times we fight and win the ball back only to mess it up and give it away immediately afterwards.

 

[Cutty/Young]

From first to third, fuuck sake

We weren't first we were second on goal difference

 

[Its-Sebo]

Come oooooon

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

Goldson been shaky for a month now (many won’t agree). After a solid start to the season.

 

[RaoulDuke11]

Absolutely f*cking gutted.

These kants were absolutely there for the taking. 3-2 up at h/t, 4-2 not for a poor decision by the linesman, and we look as if we've fu*ked it up.

Abysmaly bad defending.

Gutted

 

[dawhitey]

Ejaria has done eff all this whole game..how has he lasted...?

 

[Cooper_11]

4 minutes to try to snatch an equaliser.
Let’s do it Rangers.

 

[RFC4ME]

It's a terrible result.

Of course it isnt.

 

[thornhill bear]

poor defending has cost us big time tonight. With the result going slightly in our favour in Vienna we would have been well placed to get through. I thin it's going to be a rather longer shopping list in January than originally thought

 

[Daz1690]

I reckon so. Which is a mistake. He unsettled and dismantled a settled and in form defence and has subsequently shattered the confidence of one of his players.

When did we have a settled defence???

 

[Kirbys House]

Ejaria has been poor

Midfield three have been shite, truth be told

 

[Dumfriesbear]

Shocking defending. Too many tippy tappy casual flicks not finding our men. I think they came out for the second half thinking they had the game won.

 

[so cal bear]

This is a sore one here. Linesman cost us for 2-4 but our defense has been shocking

 

[BucksBear]

Could play the rest of the night now and not score

 

[Dooodooodrooo]

We've been symbolic defensively but the midfield tonight has been a disgrace .

 

[Diego Maradona]

Poor result, dreadful team we lost to. Says more about us really

 

[Oleg_McNoleg]

Can’t play like that at the back and expect to get anything. Made life so unnecessarily difficult for ourselves

 

[Laudrup1]

Is McAuley the answer to that? He can’t be any worse.

I’d be surprised not to see him on Sunday if he’s fit.

None of our three regulars should be automatic picks.

 

[RangersIsTheName]

Sadly, your mother.......

Another chronic example.

Our defending > your banter.
