Match Thread Rangers v Dundee - 19:30 Tuesday - Sky Sports

[HandsomeHead]

Come one Del do us a turn tomorrow and let us take it to the last day!

If it somehow happens that they lose tomorrow and it goes down to the final day, it just plants that little bit of doubt in their mind.

Unlikely, but what do we have to lose by dreaming . . . ?

 

[ChernoSamba]

I think you'll find most of it is tongue in cheek mate, bit of light hearted optimism after a dreadful few weeks

You might be right about most of it….but not all of it.

 

[Puggy]

On loan from our East Anglian feeder club?

He’s on loan from Norwich yes.

 

[Kinghornloyal]

He won't be here.

How do you know. Do you have inside info. If nobody is buying him how will he be away. Explain how that works

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Such a strange game.
We love to lose the first goal, don’t we.
But to come back and score 5 cannot be discounted. Well done lads.

When we lose the first one we're usually okay. Losing the first two is becoming a nasty habit and a much more tricky proposition.

 

[Dado_Prso_9]

Cantwell raging in the interview. Couple of odd answers to questions there.

 

[Dick Donner]

Imagine what a leader in the middle of the park could do? If Clement can get a similar mentality to himself and stick him in the heart of that team, I think we'll be fine. And it ain't Raskin, Dio or Sterling. We need that from outside of the club and Scotland.
There'll always be times we go behind due to luck or mistakes but if someone can grab them by the scruff of the neck apart from the manager and bring them back into after 10 minutes instead of 40 minutes, we'd be tough to beat, even with a few of the lads tonight.

 

[Recoba]

Second half is as good as we’ve played since the Hearts 5-0 game, shows we can do it when the pressure is not there.

Which is absolutely useless when you want to win things.

 

[Recoba]

Cantwell raging in the interview. Couple of odd answers to questions there.

Hopefully gone in the summer

 

[Ron Swanson]

Doesn't make too much difference, 3 goals in it, they lose by 1 it's down to 2. Last game they lose by 1 we win by 2 it's that tight. No expectation if it happening, but...

Four goals in it, but your point stands, mate.

The thought of them losing their last two games and still winning the league by 1 goal gives me curly teeth.

 

[Orange Peel]

How do you know. Do you have inside info. If nobody is buying him how will he be away. Explain how that works

Be told he's not in the plans, told to look for a club and a wee pay off will be negotiated.
How it normally works.
You new to football?

 

[RutherglenLoyal]

Am I just miserable, or does second half just annoy anyone else. We see this every season they have ability some of our best performances come in these dead rubbers. But I'm sick of it. We need to sign some real characters with leadership who can handle playing for us.

 

[zorro]

Kilmarnock 1 Celtic 0
Celtic 0 St Mirren 1
Hearts 0 Rangers 3

Championes............

I'm all in on this one

 

[barrheadbear]

For me MOTM goes to Cantwell for a fantastic 2nd half after an anonymous 1st 45. McCausland worked tirelessly.

 

[PT98]

Cantwell seems a bit pissed off to say the least.

Decent comeback though. Hopefully gives some confidence for the final

 

[Ted Rangers]

Hopefully gone in the summer

The interviewer?

 

[Big D]

Union bears walked out before lap of honour, can’t blame them

Thought it was pretty pathetic. Sometimes they're really good. Sometimes they're just self-important, self-entitled wee arseholes.

You are probably right, it is easy to win once the pressure is off as proved tonight

 

[Kingwoody]

Second half is as good as we’ve played since the Hearts 5-0 game, shows we can do it when the pressure is not there.

Im not sure that was the case; 2-1 at home and booed off the pitch at half time

 

[Kinghornloyal]

No. Our Chairman has stated no players will be paid off. Players will be happy to sit ok their arse if told they aren't in plans. Why would a player like Wright accept say half his yearly salary and go elsewhere. He won't. The Turkish team couldn't even afford enough to pay him

 

[RangersLad1983]

Hopefully gone in the summer

We will pay for it if he does go .

 

[55&Beautiful]

Where are the funds coming from then mate?

The board of course ... 4.5m going on dio already... and more will be spent simple...if you think no money will be spent you will be very disappointed..

 

[Recoba]

Union bears walked out before lap of honour, can’t blame them

Wish they had left before, what a headache listening to that drone all night

 

[Monster]

Played some decent stuff in the second half that had been lacking all month really.

I'm not one to fall head over heels for youngsters but Mckinnon made a very good showing of himself.

 

[Bluemingoodbloke]

Another rollercoaster season, where there’s lot of ups and downs, excitement and anticipation but the brakes come on before the ride has finished!!

After all the negatives of late, good to see that second half performance.

Thought wee Ridvan was excellent and provided more excitement and positive movement than we’ve seen of late.

Lots of effort from Silva, Cantwell, there’s a player in Diomande and Dessers nets again, which is less surprising than Scott Wright getting two!!

All the young boys can hold their heads high after performances I can only describe as refreshing.

As someone said earlier, very mixed emotions tonight which is a big improvement on emotions after Sunday!

 

[Recoba]

We will pay for it if he does go .

Pay how exactly ? incase you hadn't noticed we don't win eff all

A 5 -2 win over Dundee seems to really pull the wool over a lot of people's eyes.

Ridiculous

 

[madrid-bear]

Very decent second half and a nice wee win on the coupon that will go towards the grandkids season tickets

 

[Overanout]

Thought it was pretty pathetic. Sometimes they're really good. Sometimes they're just self-important, self-entitled wee arseholes.

And your a self important , self entitled big arsehole.

 

[Orange Peel]

Cause he'll get a wee pay off to make up the shortfall in his wages. I never mentioned Turkey. Lol.
I'm not getting involved with you at this time of night. You always have to be right even though you talk pish.

 

[Big D]

And your a self important , self entitled big arsehole.

No, I'm just a supporter. I don't pretend to be anything else. Unlike some.

Aye no problem ya clown. If the player doesn't want a pay off for less money we can't make.him leave. Clueless

 

[Blueranger45]

Kilmarnock 1 Celtic 0
Celtic 0 St Mirren 1
Hearts 0 Rangers 3

Championes............

probably need St Mirren with at least a 2 goal lead, the ref squad would be trying to put the ball into the net for them at 1-0 if they were desperate

 

[Andre55]

amazing how well these players play when the pressure is off!

 

[Classof 72]

Pay how exactly ? incase you hadn't noticed we don't win eff all

A 5 -2 win over Dundee seems to really pull the wool over a lot of people's eyes.

Ridiculous

You are joking that was a reserve team who gave a performance second half and with a full focused starting 11 we will pump that mob in the final , and believe you me that lot will crumble against Kilmarnock can see them taking at least a two goal win against them and st midden are no mugs

 

[Charing]

RTV- up until Rangers took the lead it was the Tony fuckin Docherty show. We couldn't go 5 minutes without a close-up of the master tactician.

At 3-2 he wasn't seen again?

Hardly the most important issue of the evening but I'm on the cider tonight and quite the keyboard warrior!

 

[WinkieWATP]

Fair play to the UBs non stop all night. They must spring out of bed in the morning straight into uhhhohhhhhuhhhohhh.

[Now and forever]

Great second half but it papered over the cracks

 

[Awaydays]

Even just a draw at Parkhead and a win at Dens and we'd be 2pts ahead of them going to Rugby Park.

What a waste of a season.

Stop punishing yourself mate. I've been there before myself, but have now mellowed. It is what it is and we move on.

 

[No Hiding Place]

Docherty is a bitter wee bastard.

 

[steve1873]

The board of course ... 4.5m going on dio already... and more will be spent simple...if you think no money will be spent you will be very disappointed..

Correct. We are going to be freeing up a huge amount of wages with high earners like Lundstram, Roofe and Barisic all leaving. That alone, surely will give us enough of a room to maneuver in terms of FFP.

 

[aayjay]

That was a surprise. Actually enjoyed the second half. Shows what a bit of pace and determination can do. Well done Cantwell - kicked from pillar to post in the 1st half and had an excellent 2nd half.

 

[tazzabear]

Second half is as good as we’ve played since the Hearts 5-0 game, shows we can do it when the pressure is not there.

There was no pressure when being 1-2 down?

 

[Elric]

RTV- up until Rangers took the lead it was the Tony fuckin Docherty show. We couldn't go 5 minutes without a close-up of the master tactician.

At 3-2 he wasn't seen again?

Hardly the most important issue of the evening but I'm on the cider tonight and quite the keyboard warrior!

Think we would have had the Sky feed. Actually was it on Sky?

 

[tazzabear]

I’ll have what you’re drinking!

It’ll be Dom Perignon if that comes up, on me.

Couldn't get RTV. It was showing the mhanks game.

 

[barcelonabear]

No the same pressure when the leagues already done, well more or less

 

[tottie beck]

Credit where it's due... That was some comeback!

However, what an awful first half where we were lethargic and completely lacking direction.

In many ways that match mirrored the Jekyll and Hyde nature of our season. There have been times when we've lacked focus and teams have picked us apart with ease. Then there are other times when we play great one touch attacking football and sliced through defences like butter. The main thing we've lacked though is consistency.

Credit to young McCausland who made the difference with his goal. He showed great desire and his work rate was great throughout. If we had gone in 2 down I dont know if we would have made the comeback we did

A nod to Cantwell as well. I know many dont rate him but for me he is our most skillful player and should start every game. He was my MOTM tonight

Keep believing...

Don't we use the Sky stream when it's on TV?

 

[jimbear]

Chip chip chip at the GD

You never know your luck!
