Why is Rice being mentioned as out? he's not played all season, may as well say big Jim who sits in the Club Deck Row M seat 74 won't be available

"There is going to be a turnaround in the squad this season, we have been working hard on this for months"
First positive thing i've heard regarding Rangers in weeks.
so it has to be a centre half pairing of Davis and King for tomorrow then.
We are in denial. Miles behind this mob, in first 11 and squad. First of all, we need to accept this before addressing it. Big Phil is chatting that a bit of bad luck and injuries are what`s fucked us. Worrying. Give Dessers his due for fronting up, but i struggle to listen to their shite now.

Jesus
No player is going to slate another player in public.they may have done it in the privacy of a dressing room but when have you ever heard a player anywhere criticise a team mate in a presser.Why not?
Lundstram's lack of effort and discipline has hurt us for weeks.
He could've just said we're focusing on the players who are available to play.
Lundstram's teammates owe him nothing
It's definitely been a factor though, although I refuse to believe now that the injuries are just down to luck. It's comical the frequency of them and I don't just mean the injury prone players. Thats at least two years now we've not seen what we could do at full strength.We are in denial. Miles behind this mob, in first 11 and squad.

Oh FFS that is horrendous.
If we were miles behing them we'd never have got in to the position to throw it away during March after the start we had.
TBF they`ve had a lot of injuries to key players as well. Hatate, Forrest, Furihashi, Vickers, Maeda, McGregor have all had spells out. Difference is theirs seem to come back quicker than ours. Every injury. %^*& me, Ridvan was 50/50 for a month and more. Not picking on him, but it`s just silly.It's not a 'bit' of bad luck — the list of injuries is diabolical. He's pointed out 11 there, but that doesn't even include Ridvan who wasn't fit enough to start at the weekend after a long term injury and Roofe who is never really not injured.
I've never seen anything like it, Clement seems to be on the same boat.
Whatever the reason, it can't carry on into next season. Nobody is winning any league with that amount of your first team squad out for long spells of the season.
King starting v Dundee?
I just thought of Ykefo after I put my post uponly other option is Yfeko and the option of King in CM
but Ykefo is left sided as well as Davies
what a state the squad is in
Lawrence and Sterling
That is just a given, no?Jack and Roofe not among the 11 injured is a wonder.
I think OK is stretching it. We got pumped in all 6 games.he played CL football and was ok
this is Dundee
Ridiculously badOh FFS that is horrendous.
Diomande and Raskin as the two and a centre-back pairing of Davies and King. Jeez oh!
That was a question not a complaint. It's criminal that he hasn't played more this season. How on earth is he going to progress?he played CL football and was ok
this is Dundee
An absolute stick on to start at Hampden mate.We look forward to no more Lundstram at the club. His Rangers days should be over. Suspended for Dundee, Hearts and not stripped for the cup final.

You simply can't just forget about the injuries we have had. Of course it's made a massive difference.It's definitely been a factor though, although I refuse to believe now that the injuries are just down to luck. It's comical the frequency of them and I don't just mean the injury prone players. Thats at least two years now we've not seen what we could do at full strength.
But let's not use that as an excuse for not being able to beat the likes of Ross County and Dundee. Injuries or not those games have to be won if you are going for a title.
Would it be unreasonable to have expected the captain to attend the press conference given how the weekend played out?
He’s got a sore back after carrying the majority of the team around for the last 6 or so weeksSterling injured now as well.
Fucking hell.
You simply can't just forget about the injuries we have had. Of course it's made a massive difference.
And when did their form fall off a cliff? When they had a few of their key players injured. And their injuries aren't/weren't anywhere close to what we've had to deal with.
Everyone is pissed off at the result at the weekend and our collapse, especially because we've seen it all before, but a realistic view has to be applied to the circumstances Clement is working under here.
I wonder what the question was, Is this a dig at the guys who are leaving?
He’s been saying since he took over that the injury situation is the worst he’s ever had to deal with in his time in management.he said very early that he was looking in detail why this was the case.its clear to me he has been looking under the bonnet of everything in the rtc.Just change the formation, Phil. That's apparently all we need to do. We have zero issues with injuries and fitness, no siree.
Except Vickers and Harate it’s been 3-4 weeks at a time and it’s normally 3 at any one time not 6&7 at any one gameTBF they`ve had a lot of injuries to key players as well. Hatate, Forrest, Furihashi, Vickers, Maeda, McGregor have all had spells out. Difference is theirs seem to come back quicker than ours. Every injury. %^*& me, Ridvan was 50/50 for a month and more.

What position does big Jim play?Why is Rice being mentioned as out? he's not played all season, may as well say big Jim who sits in the Club Deck Row M seat 74 won't be available
Iirc Goldson didn’t have a pre season under his belt before he started in the first game at Kilmarnock.if you don’t get that pre season fitness in the tank,you are storing a whole lot of problems for later in the season.It comes down to consistency and cohesion. I don't think we've ever had that this season, even under Beale with the majority of the squad being 'fit'. Could maybe count on one had the amount of times we've gone into games with no issues or concerns over fitness or injuries under Clement. You can't build from that position.
We went to Ross County with
Butland
Tavernier Goldson Souttar Barišić
Dowell Lundstram
Sima Cantwell Silva
Dessers
Raskin, Sterling sat on the bench whilst we watched Dowell in the engine room. Dessers should have had us 2-0 up on the stroke of half time. Game over.
Sterling went to LB at Dens and Lawrence came in for Dowell. Dessers was dropped for Roofe.
More than enough to beat those two sides. Manager got it wrong, players never turned up. Even after the embarrassing result at Dingwall.
Na, likely be Raskin with DioKing starting v Dundee?
Any worse than what we suffered the last few weeks?Ridiculously bad
so who at CB with Davies?Na, likely be Raskin with Dio
No idea. King is a midfielder these daysso who at CB with Davies?
Not disputing they had injuries - every team as it's part and parcel of football.TBF they`ve had a lot of injuries to key players as well. Hatate, Forrest, Furihashi, Vickers, Maeda, McGregor have all had spells out. Difference is theirs seem to come back quicker than ours. Every injury. %^*& me, Ridvan was 50/50 for a month and more. Not picking on him, but it`s just silly.
But he’s not, the manager thinks along the same lines.Think you're on your own with that one Cyriel
Ok the injury situation at our club is beyond a joke. This needs wholesale investigation, rooting out and remedying. Utter farce.
