If we can win the Scottish cup

[The People]

Gives us two trophies this season
But still doesn’t hide the failure if we don’t take this title after clawing our way back into it then collapsing yet again

 

[RFC_LOYAL]

It is the manner and timing of collapse which means there should be no way back for the majority.

Two trophies in the grand scheme will be successful from the point of view of October 2023 - I genuinely thought we would win nothing again.

Don’t count on this squad delivering it, though. Would mean having to beat them when it counts.

 

[WinkieWATP]

 

[Zoso10]

Couldn't care less anymore. The failure in the title race has badly done damage.

 

[PT98]

You say that as if winning the SC is a formality.

Dread to think of the bottlers at Hampden against them trying to stop them doing the double

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Without a league title it's a hollow season.

I've always viewed it like that.

In a two team league the title is everything.

Anything else cannot be deemed as true success.

IF we win it and beat the mentally challengeds in the final I will of course celebrate on the day but it will be short lived in the knowledge that we threw away the league and the prizes that come with it. Recent weeks have been completely unacceptable.

 

[Rotto]

The Scottish cup won't bring the much needed Champions league riches.

 

[Blue Phoenix]

Equivalent of St Johnstone then? League was the only one that counted this year.

 

[GeeGee]

The Scottish cup won't bring the much needed Champions league riches.

This is the real cold hard reality.

£50m into that mob’s pocket rather than ours. That’s absolutely huge money.

 

[Kirbys House]

I'm still struggling to get excited for Sunday tbh, totally deflated after the league collapse of the last few weeks.

 

[Class of 72]

Can we? Yes! Will we? No

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Exactly.

It's like thinking you are about to spend the night with Luz Hurley but Susan Boyle turns up.

Fucking scunnered

 

[club175]

Winning the Scottish cup probably means beating the filth in the final so regardless of the league it would be a brilliant day and a good end to the season. The reality is that we haven’t been good enough to win the league. Getting 1 points from 3 games against your league rivals isn’t good enough

 

[Blues and Royals]

Couldn't care less anymore. The failure in the title race has badly done damage.

Utter nonsense. A win against the filth in a Scottish cup final is massive .

 

[Cooper's left peg]

I'm the same.

I'll still be going along but it's not exactly filling me with excitement, to say the least.

The league title is THE prize - and we fucked it !

Nothing that happens in the Scottish Cup will make up for that. Not even anywhere near it.

 

[GovanFront4]

Exactly.

It's like thinking you are about to spend the night with Luz Hurley but Susan Boyle turns up.

Fucking scunnered

But surely you think that the club needs to start winning regular trophies which will breed success in other areas? It's massively important, CL money or not. For the glory not the money.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Any season where we don’t win the title is a failure, and winning the cups doesn’t make up for that in any way.

 

[GovanFront4]

Any season where we don’t win the title is a failure, and winning the cups doesn’t make up for that in any way.

Be as well just not competing in the cups and fielding the kids then?

 

[weetam3106]

Sheep will lay down tomorrow. Unless some of our players wake up we won’t beat hearts on Sunday. Not even getting to the final at this point.

Prove me wrong rangers.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Be as well just not competing in the cups and fielding the kids then?

I’d rather win them than not win them, but it still won’t make the season a success.

 

[top_cat]

Heading along to Hampden on Sunday with my son, right now, the two of us are “meh”.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Any season where we don’t win the title is a failure, and winning the cups doesn’t make up for that in any way.

This all day long.

The easy acceptance of regularly coming second best is a worrying trend within some sections of our support.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Heading along to Hampden on Sunday with my son, right now, the two of us are “meh”.

I think most of us will be like that mate.

I'm going but it's not an enticing thought.

 

[BlueDel]

Watching this squad cavorting around Hampden with a cup will be pretty embarrassing after this collapse. That's the harsh truth.

At the end of the day, the scum will still go home with another league title and CL money. And will still have pumped us more times than not over the season.

After the position we put ourselves in league-wise, I couldn't really see me really giving too much a thought to the SC.

 

[Gringotts Dragon]

Who will be happier at the end of the season if we win a cup double and Celtic only win the league?

That says it all. A cup double doesn’t make up for the collapse considering the position we got ourselves into. Won’t be force fed the narrative it would be a success

Agreed mate.

Edit - literally just switched on Radio 2 and Queen's 'We are The Champions' is blaring out

Thats a massive IF in the 1st place.

I don't even think we will make the final

 

[parhumbug]

You’re an accordion band drummer doing a selfie video ?

 

[Zoso10]

Utter nonsense. A win against the filth in a Scottish cup final is massive .

Yes I know,your right. However it's how we are feeling at the present.

 

[Zoso10]

Sheep will lay down tomorrow. Unless some of our players wake up we won’t beat hearts on Sunday. Not even getting to the final at this point.

Prove me wrong rangers.

I disagree. Maybe in the league but not if their going for a cup.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Yes, a trophy is a trophy, but there is very little glory for us in the domestic cups in Scotland, especially when they are not accompanied by a league championship trophy.

 

[BlueDel]

Utter nonsense. A win against the filth in a Scottish cup final is massive .

After what's happened recently, I'd disagree.

Will do nothing for us, and they won't actually give a F. As soon as the whistle blows, they will be talking about the league and CL.

They thought the league was gone. And it should have been.

 

[Bluethruandthru]

Couldn't care less anymore. The failure in the title race has badly done damage.

I'm the same, I couldn't care less about the cup in all honesty. The biggest benefit I'd take from winning on Sunday is maybe it will give the team a much needed boost.

For obvious reasons, winning that league is everything now. The cups are merely baubles without it.

 

[stonewall Jackson]

Be in no doubt a Scottish Cup win is massive, especially in light of our collapse and probable failure in the title.

 

[148bear]

If im honest ive no interest winning the cup, in the big picture it means nothing to me.

 

[weetam3106]

I disagree. Maybe in the league but not if their going for a cup.

Yep. I hope you’re right but let’s see what happens. I’m just in a bad place right now thanks to our last two games.

 

[Zoso10]

Exactly,winning could give them a wee kick for confidence.However I can't see it.You get fed up hoping all the time.

 

[Arkanoid]

To get so close to the title and if we fail it will be massively disappointing but 2 trophies in a season is our best ever haul in 12 years, and has precedent in the McLeish era to go on and win all 3 the following season.
Summer will be full of optimism regardless under Clement, Koppen and (hopefully) a board who back him with Sima, Cortes resigned and whatever other changes they require BUT 2 trophies is brilliant, particularly with a Cup Final expected to be a OF affair

 

[GovanFront4]

Yes, a trophy is a trophy, but there is very little glory for us in the domestic cups in Scotland, especially when they are not accompanied by a league championship trophy.

Our history is built on winning trophies. If there's no glory in it why will end be packed out no matter what?

 

[Arkanoid]

Exactly,winning could give them a wee kick for confidence.However I can't see it.You get fed up hoping all the time.

Surely it's the hope we all live for!
The dream of what your team could achieve is surely part of the thrill, of course it makes the lows very low but the hope is what makes us stronger

 

[Cooper's left peg]

I'm at the stage when I just want the season to hurry up and end.

These players have completely killed the mood.

And then i realise that the "Summer Transfer Thread" will be upon us !

Shitshow all round.

 

[Arkanoid]

Yes, a trophy is a trophy, but there is very little glory for us in the domestic cups in Scotland, especially when they are not accompanied by a league championship trophy.

Bollox to that, if you don't let out a euphoric cheer when Tav lifts ANY trophy having defeated the filth then you've bought into a snobbery mindset that only our media detractors would thrive off. In no world apart from a Rangers hating media world is 2 trophies not a huge success

Understand where you're coming from but the landscape has changed so much from the McLeish days.

Finance is what this club craves for the sake of our very Stability.

Every year we are denied that level of income the more precarious the situation becomes. That's before you even consider the prospect of the manky mob overtaking our trophy count.

 

[Zoso10]

It's the let downs. These ones over the past week are f uckin massive ones.

 

[The People]

I don't even think we will make the final

Agree mate
The way it is going at the minute, I’ve no confidence in this team taking us to another final

I've already said that that of course I would celebrate on the day but realistically in the cokd light of day the celebration would be short lived knowing that we blew the main prize.

I would not say 2 trophies is a huge success for Rangers. It's success of a certain extent , but not "huge". Maybe for a club like Aberdeen, but not us.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Did they think the league was gone? We had became slight favourites but it was never a sure thing.

 

[DC Anchor]

I'll be delighted with a SC win can't see us beating but..... but it still leaves us facing another massive rebuild with no money to pay for it.

 

[Blues and Royals]

Any season where we don’t win the title is a failure, and winning the cups doesn’t make up for that in any way.

They beat us in the final and they’re on the same trophy count as us. Of course the league flop is disastrous, but beating them in the cup final is huge. On many fronts.
If we get there of course.

 

[cranky]

The players still have an opportunity to go and win seven games to win a treble and write their names into Rangers folklore.

Yes it’s improbable but by feck if it were me I would go and give it absolutely everything I had in an attempt. We should accept no less from those who pull on the shirt in those games.

There is no time for them feeling sorry for themselves. Get those fecking sleeves rolled up and go to battle starting Sunday.
