The bottom line (for now) is that they’ve won the last 7 trophies. Never mind it has been against a spineless Dolly and 2 seasons of the worst Rangers teams of our lifetimes - this stat has protected Lawwell/Rodgers from any serious analysis or criticism. Different ball game now though, no Russell Martins or Philips Senderos’s to make them look like Barcelona - they suddenly need a squad. But wait a minute - Compper, Henry, Kouassi, Izaquerrie, Mulumbu, Hayes, Simunovic, Bain, Allan, Arzani, Gamboa - a load of utter shite. They will need to pull at least 3 rabbits out the hat this January and this track record does not bode well for them. If we can put any kind of run together, they’re in the shit, hence the signing of Davies and Defoe to help us edge these tight games (we’ve never lost by more than a goal). Also bear in mind the last OF game is at Ibrox - no way are we losing that.
Rambling a bit here - simply put, they’re on the ropes, we need to put them down THIS season, none of this ‘building for the future’ shit.
I’ve said all season that this is our chance to put them down. If we blow it then they could bring in some real quslity in the summer and put a bigger gap between us again. We’ve got to end them this season. It’s our best hope by some distance.
