TBF I'm sure he said to entertain the Ibrox crowd.

Frustratingly accurate. We found a way to win today but I'm not sure it will be the same outcome every weekOther than a couple of brief flashes in the latter stages, Livi spent 90 minutes in their own half, and most of that in their first third. Home this season will see every game bar the odd one play out exactly the same.
It is going to be a long and frustrating time, teams will show nothing in the way of attacking intent and we will be forced into watching some absolute shite.
We can only hope we get better at cutting teams open surgically as the season goes on.
I wouldnt say our defence is "appalling". Goldson and katic got weirdly rag dolled today. However against legia warsaw katic was sweeping up everything in sight. Its odd. Definitely not appalling. Do you remember a guy called Rob Kiernan?Get used to it?
It's only been going on for the best part of 12 months. We know how the opposition will play against us yet it's the same struggles time and time again.
You get ripped on here for mentioning the concerns yet they continue to happen.
Our defence is appalling. There isn't the right balance in our midfield. Our tempo is too pedestrian, when we don't take early chances we become complacent, move the ball too slow, resort to punts (aimless) from the back and become slack.
Our top players out with Morelos just are not producing the goods, a few undroppables in there (Goldson and Arfield). We haven't addressed areas of weakness with the right quality and the constant chopping and changing does no one favours.
Tough away game next week against a side who will play the same way as Kilmarnock, Livingston and St. Mirren.

I didnt notice the wind but could have been a factor. Although katic had the ball in one instance and instead of just putting it out for a throw tried to play and got robbed and they were in. Clear your lines and let the team get back into shape.Only in the second half and to be fair to them the swirling wind looked like it was causing them problems.
Livi also hit the bar , forced McGregor into a cracking save and scored another goal which we were lucky to get a soft foul for , don’t really think they just parked the bus like you are making out.Other than a couple of brief flashes in the latter stages, Livi spent 90 minutes in their own half, and most of that in their first third.

This is why I'm bemused we didn't bring in a credible No10 to challenge or replace Arfield.Other than a couple of brief flashes in the latter stages, Livi spent 90 minutes in their own half, and most of that in their first third.

PatrickWe need to wake the %^*& up or they will be out of sight.
Missing Candeias link ups with Tav going down the right
You read the pre match predictions and there’s plenty of “I’ll take a scrappy 1-0 win.”
A 3-1 victory against 3rd/4th? In the league and the place is in meltdown, with match thread particularly swamped with fucking clueless buffoons who quite clearly aren’t in the “any win will do camp.”
Stats probably won't back it up, but if you asked me the Rangers v Motherwell score from 199x.I remember when Tommy McLean was their manager and done this every game against us at home' we usually beat them with a late goal remember super ally done it in the last minute ' murder to watch
You're right, and it's absolutely torture to watch.... But we have to be able to break down shitey teams like Livingston. We should be far better than them. Absolutely no excuses.
Was saying to my mate during the game, I don't remember teams coming to Ibrox and playing like that when we were younger (90s).... Every team used to come and at least have a go. Doesn't happen anymore. Maybe I'm wrong there?
Not this pish again .
McLean’s Motherwell and his brother’s lot were the most defensive sides in the league for a while.
Nobody though came with the blanket defence that teams play these days.
Yes, we’ve got to break them down.
Generally, we will but, it’s turgid to watch.
Definitely an oxymoron!The biggest improvement in football since the 90s has been defensive tactics and shape.
Fans don't seem to have adjusted to that fully. The old mantras of "movement will kill them", "score first and they have to come out" or "they'll tire chasing the ball" aren't as applicable now.
It's nothing new. This low block bullshit has got people thinking it's a new thing.
Has Steven Davis had a shot on goal since he came back? Every game he seems to pick up the ball around the D and just when you think he's going to have a pop, he moves it along to someone else.

We still lack the player who can spot and then play that killer pass on a regular basis.Other than a couple of brief flashes in the latter stages, Livi spent 90 minutes in their own half, and most of that in their first third.

unless we get an early goal ojo is pointless in games like this.
Our right hand side has went from being our strongest to arguably our weakest.
Get used to it?

We played some good stuff after they scored.
