MOTM Poll Hearts v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[Carson's Cat]

Good result and back at the top where we should be, if only for a few hours. Who was the black armbands for today?

Chris Robinson - former Jambo chairman.

 

[bilkobear]

Okay, so he scored a great goal and set up the all-important first and his header before Tilman should have scored was nice but apart from that what else have the Ryan ever done for us?

His cross for the first goal was very good.
But his goal whilst pleasing has to be put in context of the match.
Are you honestly satisfied with what he is giving us?

Maybe he will kick on, I hope so.

 

[Three-in-seven]

I literally say in my post that i’m happy

With the win, but nothing else.

Your probably only happy when your moaning about something.

 

[Muay Bouk]

Doesn't mean he was average today. Or that a wee injection of confidence won't see him go on and start to show exactly how good he is.

let’s hope so. Signing a contract would be helpful as well.

 

[jaws73]

The couple of first half hour goals allowed us to coast for the rest of the game and make changes with Tuesday in mind. A bit rope-a-dope in the second half but I think that was sensible before Anfield.

Really thought we'd have to burst the energy bank for 90+ minutes today but it has all turned out hunky dory.

Good to see our forwards banging in the goals.

 

[The Goal Machine]

Comfortable win for us at a match most saw as one we could drop points considering our recent form.

That said we were slack for periods in the second half once again , until the third goal. Two goal leads are never comfortable.

Black mark to our support for giving our enemies ammunition when singing the Billy Boys just at a time when the spotlight is on them. Will some never fecking learn?

 

[ForzaRenfrew]

@Scarface good shout lad. Closer than my shout.

 

[StuMac1972]

A bit more like it, hopefully we kick on from this result and keep improving as the season goes on.

 

[Gunnargoldhair]

I thought Tillman was fantastic today.

Did everything positively and always looking for the ball and forward pass.

Well deserved win today. Never looked uncomfortable.

 

[RAFBob]

Yip away at Ajax & the piggery he had little service.

As long as we give him something to work with he'll bang them in. Work rate today was class.

He has a good work rate and definitely gets the goals when he receives the ball - I'm very happy with the signing so far.

Looking forward to seeing him play against Liverpool next.

 

[kenikinif]

Plenty to be positive about todays performance and result long may it continue

 

[No Hiding Place]

Keep hearing Devlin's red card being described as silly and daft,it's an evil and vicious challenge.

 

[DEJA BLUE]

Well on the tranny Michael Stewart said it was definitely a foul. So safe to assume there was absolutely no foul.

Usually in the media you seek out players who have been there ,seen it ,done it which makes your opinion valid. ....then you have michael stewart

 

[Bordeaux]

Barbour seems unhappy with Rangers winning like that today

Which is nice

Had to listen to the game on BBC radio as I was driving and Liam McCleod was willing Hearts back into the game. Saying it was still game on at 2-0 and referencing the Dundee Utd game and Rangers apparently nervy backline.

 

[WATP1979]

He has a good work rate and definitely gets the goals when he receives the ball - I'm very happy with the signing so far.

Looking forward to seeing him play against Liverpool next.

Tbh Alfredo should start on Tuesday, the possession and service won’t be there that night so the big man is invisible

 

[Clicker]

Thought we passed the ball forward more today and it made a difference.

 

[strathavenbear]

Well on the tranny Michael Stewart said it was definitely a foul. So safe to assume there was absolutely no foul.

Stewart will double down and keep claiming its a foul on tge keeper.
If anything Gordon clattered Matondo

 

[L/COLNEYBEAR]

Davies at centre back was impressive today. Yet another incompetent display by a Scottish referee.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

His cross for the first goal was very good.
But his goal whilst pleasing has to be put in context of the match.
Are you honestly satisfied with what he is giving us?

Maybe he will kick on, I hope so.

I thought the second half he was doing the things people say he hasn't been doing. It didn't always come off but he was continually driving into the box and trying to take the man on.

He had a couple of other balls he flashed across that could have led to goals.

He wasn't great but anyone saying he was poor this afternoon had made up their mind before kick off and then was disregarding what was actually happening on the park.

 

[CraigGer]

Well done lads. Brilliant

 

[imvaison]

Good afternoon for us and a boost for the team ahead of Tuesday.
Pleased to see Davies do well, he’s going to fit in just fine.

 

[Barrymoped]

@Scarface good shout lad. Closer than my shout.

Good man, I like when people at least put their hand up, others will simply go to ground and you won’t hear from them!

All bears should be really happy today.

 

[RAFBob]

Tbh Alfredo should start on Tuesday, the possession and service won’t be there that night so the big man is invisible

A fair point mate, you're probably right to be fair, I imagine a lot of our play will be defensive and waiting for the opportunity to break...Alfredo is best suited to that I suppose.

[Carson's Cat]

That wasn't even "a game of one half" but a game of 30 mins with Big Tony killing it off early on.

As comprehensive a gubbing as you'll see at Le Stade de la Confiture.

 

[ForzaRenfrew]

Good man, I like when people at least put their hand up, others will simply go to ground and you won’t hear from them!

Absolutely mate. Fine day for the good guys.

 

[imvaison]

Well deserved win today. Never looked uncomfortable.

Yes Tillman did very well, he’s got a great touch. There’s certainly a place for him and with a little more pace he could become a top player.

 

[BoomSong]

Good performance today, Colak the obvious MOTM candidate but I've went for Goldson mainly for the number of clearances he made first half, more of the same in the League going forward please Rangers!

 

[DEJA BLUE]

A fair point mate, you're probably right to be fair, I imagine a lot of our play will be defensive and waiting for the opportunity to break...Alfredo is best suited to that I suppose.

Other side of the coin is a red card is never far away with alfie unfortunately, which would hurt us more, on his style of play alone though I agree.

 

[Scott-Ger]

I think come the end of the season we'll look back at today's result aswell as their dropped points at St Mirren as the games that turned the tide.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Voted Lundstram but Colak also excellent. Not just the brilliant finish - also played well.
Exactly the kind of striker that offers something different to Alfie that we’ve wanted in the squad for years.

 

[max murray]

Tbh Alfredo should start on Tuesday, the possession and service won’t be there that night so the big man is invisible

I think they will share the game but Colak on first as he must be confident of scoring if he gets a chance.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

Did we not try to sign him?

Souness era I'm sure.

 

[OrangeBufalo]

Superb performance.

Davies makes some difference at the back, Colak and Morelos both scoring, Kent assist and goal, clean sheet and Lundstram man of the match for me.

Magic!

Good to see our forwards banging in the goals.

Makes all the difference when you build an early lead. Compare today to the nail-biter against Dundee Utd, which was far closer to our normal over the past year and that's where our title challenge ultimately faltered last season.

 

[HarryBosch]

I had Colak 1st goal - $135 up.
Rangers cantered a tough fixture.
We are top of the league.
Morelos scored.
Kent scored.

What's not to like?

 

[Scarface]

@Scarface good shout lad. Closer than my shout.

He wasn't at his best to be fair. But bizarre things happen in football.

I will take that every match day.

 

[bilkobear]

He had a couple of other balls he flashed across that could have led to goals.

He wasn't great but anyone saying he was poor this afternoon had made up their mind before kick off and then was disregarding what was actually happening on the park.

He was fairly quiet in the first half.
Against ten men who had thrown in the towel?
I will judge him on Wednesday.
If he isn't up for that then there is no hope.

 

[104Bear]

aw ffs Gio just said he likes Cammy Devlin

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Weekend.....made.

Well played Rangers!

 

[EOS]

It could’ve been more if we’d gone for it but happy to see us get a couple of goals before the red card.

 

[bluereason]

Great result. It was 5-0 but if they want to call it 4-0 then so be it but great result Rangers!

Thanks, M8.

Would love to see the chalked-off Arfield goal again.

 

[RAFBob]

Other side of the coin is a red card is never far away with alfie unfortunately, which would hurt us more, on his style of play alone though I agree.

I guess, but I would hope that he has learned from his most recent and a seat in the stands, time will tell, he's a quality player, he doesn't need to get involved with the wind up games he gets from other players.

 

[Nescafe_loyal]

Sakala was rapid when he came on. I'm so pleased for Kent too. The team was too

 

[Bryanmc]

What fuckin game was Nielsen watching ?

 

[Jamiegatami]

aw ffs Gio just said he likes Cammy Devlin

We signed his Dad, Ian Black, so anything’s possible in January I guess.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Barbour seems unhappy with Rangers winning like that today

Which is nice

I'm sure Marvin Bartley will slip her a length by way of cheering her up tonight.

 

[jones65]

Thanks, M8.

Would love to see the chalked-off Arfield goal again.

Rest assured it was a ridiculous decision, Gordon makes the “clearance” without interference then bundles into Matondo (I think it was)

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Did Gio mention anything about Jack and Davies?
