Match Thread Rangers v Lech Poznan - 20:00 Thursday - BT Sport

[asialoyal]

Credit to Poznan, they came to try for the three point tonight. Their first half performance actually reminded me of us. Our fitness is superb now and having enough players to rotate in and out is a luxury we have never had for years. Well done Rangers, well deserved 3 points.
I was hoping for a goal fest but a few of the more savvy Bears called this one right.

 

[SuperGers07]

Remind me how many consecutive clean sheets at home please.

Three or Four games

 

[Born a Barras Hick]

Great result. Not at our best, and there were moments when they broke away that had me worried, but another win keeps the confidence building.

3pts Sunday please to put the icing on another great week.

 

[scoobytwo]

A great 3 pts.

It seems too simple to say we started playing once Alfie came on, but we did. Our tactics suit a pressing striker.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Smashing result, but let's be honest, that wasn't a great performance.

 

[Kilwinnin Bluenose]

I'll happily take playing poorly and winning! Well done Rangers!

 

[Clay Davis]

Lech looked much less dangerous against us than they did in their game against Benfica.

Good win and solid performance

 

[Delboy Trotter]

Poor performance

But, it’s a game we wouldn’t have won last season

We can win ugly and delighted for Morelos grabbing a much needed goal

 

[tazzabear]

Yaaaassss The Rangers 3 points and another half million euros, ya dancer

You were dying to post that.

 

[Jase]

And not a we miss Candeais thread in sight!

Tav does a lot better when he's on the park tho'.

 

[sofakineazy]

To be fair, we ground that out. Poznan were really up for this match and on another day would have taken something.

I agree we gave the ball away too much tonight.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Just like that, you mean?

Yes exactly, if he comes on and scores and contributes more than he has done over the last 10 months then he will earn a start.

 

[Jamiegatami]

Yass Ally getting it right up Stubbs!

 

[yosser hughes]

job well done lads,ain't always gonna be pretty but digging in and seeing it out is something in the last couple of seasons we have come up short on ,so well chuffed with how we are going along

 

[JayDee]

Not spectacular but a good, deserved win. Well done to the players and management.

 

[fmp]

Stubbs has absolutely no business speaking on TV.

 

[Braesbear]

Pleased we won that even when off the pace. Nevertheless some great performances from Davis, Kamara, Borna etc. Alfie done it yet again for us and looked more like himself. My only negative is SG persisting with Barker. Jones for me is the better impact wide man.

 

[Clay Davis]

Haha McCoist saying he didn’t get Alfie’s name right for 4 years

Merelas

 

[ferris72]

Shaggers time wasting is one of my favourite things in the world

Love when the ball is stuck on top of the net and he arses about for about a minute getting it down

or one of the Euro games last year where they had another ball ready to take the corner and he popped it back on to the pitch

 

[Kimarcus]

Nah, another win against Benfica next week.
We’ve got great history against the Portuguese.

They will be very strong. A draw would be a great result.

 

[dh1963]

Ally is brilliant, absolutely love the man

 

[Viatrophy]

This team really has something about it now, dont want to go overboard and compare to teams of the past but we have fight, we can play, and when we dont play we can still win.

#55

I’m not going overboard either but can’t wait to play the Champions League winners in the European super cup at the start of next year.

 

[Bryanmc]

I thought we were slightly off but I think winning ugly and grinding it out are exaggerating

we won the game via a sheer world class assist

credit to Poznan who came and gave it a go with plenty energy

 

[Lomoon17]

A hard grind. but a win no less. Glad to see Alfie on the score sheet. Kamara my man of the match.

 

[evo14]

Scrappy game, but 3 points in the bag and we never really looked like we were in any really danger. Good work Rangers.

 

[No Hiding Place]

Really encouraging we dug that win out and the quality of the goal was top drawer again.

 

[IbroxForever]

Not the best game but great result again.

3 points and a clean sheet, whats not to like.

 

[hms]

Kamara covered everything, but still leaning towards Barisic for MOTM, only 2 really in contention tbh

Kamara never gave a ball away and won almost every tackle, definitely between him and Borna

 

[RangersIsTheName]

One of the worst shouts in match thread history, quite the achievement.

Why thank you! I'm not sure how anyone could watch that and not think that our defending was all over the place whereas we usually look compact and composed.

 

[Weesam]

Yass Ally getting it right up Stubbs!

Glad he has wore a Poppy

 

[Clay Davis]

I love McCoist

 

[Azzurri]

A hard grind. but a win no less. Glad to see Alfie on the score sheet. Kamara my man of the match.

Just seen Alfies goal again,, superb.

 

[sandbankbear]

Not a great performance and i thought they where a decent team. Another win another clean sheet.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

I thought we were slightly off but I think winning ugly and grinding it out are exaggerating

we won the game via a sheer world class assist

credit to Poznan who came and gave it a go with plenty energy

Agree - yet another game without McGregor getting dirt on his gloves

 

[goaaaal]

Disjointed performance at times against a very decent side .

Alfredo comes up trump's again three points in the bag .

 

[devilman]

Well, a well deserved win.

What a cross from Barisic and what a header from Alfie. Superb.

We weren't at our best but got the win. Pleased with that. Gerrard really needs to insist our players hit the ball more often from outside the box. We are so capable it's unreal but just don't do it.

 

[Papasmurf]

Three points
More coefficient points
£500k in the bank

Not bad for a nights work

 

[Jase]

I like Ally's point about Morelos just getting in front of Tav on the cross. I'd love to put a pedometer on Tav for a match.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

What did Mccoist say?

 

[Malbec]

We are a team

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Very pleasing result.

We were off it tonight, however, we still got the win, kept a clean sheet, banked €500k and Alfie got on the scoresheet.

How far we have came under Stevie G. Delighted.

 

[Bordersbear]

Clean sheet kings

And again no shots on target from the opposition. So strong at the back.

 

[Jase]

What did Mccoist say?

He likes Rangers.

 

[Papasmurf]

No shots on target. Again. You can’t lose if your opponents don’t get a shot on goal.

 

[Albertz]

Happy with that result tonight. Onto Sunday now and I'll take a 1-0 win for us on that 'pitch' right now

 

[Woodrow Call]

They were not a bad team at all.

Neither are the papes.

Or Liege.

Thing is we defend like phuck to keep clean sheets.

I'v been a supporter of 50 years. I'v never been as relaxed going into the last 10 as I am with this team.

 

[jimbear]

Another fine result. I was fearful before the game as I never feel comfortable when we're being heavily fancied to win in Europe. Every team in every game needs to be treated as serious opposition. If any team has the ability to reach the group stages of the Europa they must be a decent side.

 

[Cooperfan]

Ally praising their FBs. Worth a look at?

[perthtruebluetwo]

Hard game, against a very decent team, no shots on target again, 3 points clean sheet and people are moaning, well done tonight rangers, I'll always take playing under par and winning.
