Match Thread Rangers v Kilmarnock - 13:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

[55degreesnorth]

Silva is due a goal or two, surely.

 

[Barrymoped]

WTAF does McAusland have to do to get a start again? It’s no coincidence that our form dipped when he went out injured. Now he can’t get a start!! Don’t get me started on Silva FFS…

Be better than Sterling in there.

Since his injury it’s no secret it still bothers him and he is playing in discomfort. He has shown nothing like his early season form because of it.

The end of the season can’t come quick enough for him either to get a proper rest and come back fully fit for pre season.

McCausland isn't the answer.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Why is the Sutton prick in the studio today, just to noise up Boyd?

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

If the traffic and number of tickets going outside the subway, it'll be about 45,000 there today.

 

[isawthat]

Sky coverage is becoming almost unwatchable. Suttons smirking face unbearable, wipe it off Rangers.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

8 goals nah?

We are plus 50 they are plus 58

As @academical so eloquently reminded me, the scenario I portray has us 3 ahead going into last game.

You're right though, its 8 goals not 7.

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

My guess is it’s all a bit of a front between those two. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are quite pally.

That makes you the forum’s super-optimist!

 

[EddiBrock]

Silva starting, oh well, will give the guys who are bigger fans of Shankland than Glasgow Rangers something to fixate on

 

[Barnster Bear]

Sky Sports coverage ia awful and all Killie so far.

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

McInnes picking his beak there. Boak.

 

[Loud and proud]

Flicked on sky sports for some build up, saw Sutton and flicked it straight back off.
Rangers tv from my luxury mountain top villa in Holland for me.
Bring it Tom.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I do appreciate it is a highly unlikely scenario. Not outwith the realms of possibility, of course. Gotta grab what optimism you can. No point following any football team otherwise (as you will know).

 

[Cowan_rfc]

We need to put 3+ past them today. A 1-0 or what ever isn’t enough.

The scum have st mirren at home last game. If we can beat them, we need to have the goal difference a lot different to what it is now

In an ideal world. Just need to win today, any extra goals will be a bonus

 

[cav]

He's embarrassed Borna twice before, so shit or not he's been a problem in the past.

As much as I hate to admit it, he's their best creator of chances even when he's been doing nothing for an hour in games. Very good crosser of the ball, and we will always leave gaps with attacking so much.

We wouldn't get away with it now, but in days gone by you'd be telling someone to empty him early doors to dampen his enthusiasm.
I think if Yilmaz was fully fit his aggressive, but fair defending would be ideal.

Thank fcuk I'm at the game so don't see it but next week I'll just watch on RTV Sky coverage is sickening

Did the same.

He’s like others aren’t 100% fit and the manager is managing the best he can with the badly built & physically damaged squad Beale left.

 

[wd1872]

In an ideal world. Just need to win today, any extra goals will be a bonus

He's right though, we do need to win by at least 3 or 4. If we have any serious ambitions of winning the league, we empty it on the field today.

Unfortunately this squad doesn't have the quality or mentality to do so I feel like. So we will console ourselves with this 'ideal world' bollocks.

 

[EddiBrock]

He's a decent young player who should have a decent career, but you are massively stretching credulity here

 

[willieluc]

Seriously starting to worry about the big man, he has to gamble and change something.

I'd push Tav in front of Sterling it offers something a little different. Tav likes a goal or two at the back post

 

[YorkshireBlue]

we are good enough to do this. Fucking belief is all it takes

You are absolutely spot on there. The problem with this team is finding their belief. Can be so bloody demoralising at times and it's down to the lack of a Richard Gough or Ian Ferguson type player in the team.

 

[EddiBrock]

Is Killie's final place confirmed?

If so hopefully they aren't as mega motivated as teams usually are against us and allows us to rack up a solid win

I'd fucking love an Ian Ferguson. That is Rangers

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Gutting watching the highlights of the 2-1 game at Rugby Park back. We were terrible that night but I really thought we were going to win the league after it.

 

[Albus]

Silva starting, oh well, will give the guys who are bigger fans of Shankland than Glasgow Rangers something to fixate on

Shankland hasn't scored from open play in months, Silva scored more recently than him. Dessers however has 7 in that time.

 

[LyonGer]

Anything less than a win today means they can win league next week.

 

[willieluc]

We need goals to give ourselves a chance so some support upfront for Dessers will help. He has been to isolated in recent weeks. We also need more goals from the midfield they are too defensive

 

[Corriebear]

I’m not saying McCausland is the long term answer. However, he’s the only player we currently have available that can provide width.

I’ve no idea why Clement can’t see that. To play both Silva and Sterling out of position but ahead of our only fit wide player is a worry.

Were you in the Swiss navy?

 

[Blue96]

2-0 - Dessers & Tav

 

[Crown_Defender]

Why is the Sutton prick in the studio today, just to noise up Boyd?

Why wouldn't he be? The two of them have been covering live Scottish games for ages. Folk were thinking he had been taken off our games last week, it was only due to us and them both being live.

 

[Wilso54]

Borna playing, my heart has sunk.

 

[OneEightSevenTwo]

I tend to think of myself as a realist rather than a pessimist, and I really should be full of nervous anticipation going into a game where we can fight to win the league. I'm just not feeling it.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Feel like we need a win by at least five goals to keep our faint title hopes alive.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

another struggle, will create chances and miss them, Killie go down the park on their first attack and score assisted by some brain dead defending.

Spend the remainder of the game chasing it and hope in delaying the inevitable.

 

[Flying_Scotsman]

Is Killie's final place confirmed?

If so hopefully they aren't as mega motivated as teams usually are against us and allows us to rack up a solid win

Hoping Killie aren't motivated!!! Ffs how our standards have fallen.

 

[Stanley]

I fully expect it to be another hard game for us. It would make our Sunday if the team could make the game nice ’n easy with lots of goals for us. Somehow, I doubt it, but best to keep believing.

 

[Wilso54]

Feel like we need a win by at least five goals to keep our faint title hopes alive.

Games like this separate the average jobbers from decent players, Dessers for example needs to step up and stop the missing easy chances and start burying everything he gets.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Hoping Killie aren't motivated!!! Ffs how our standards have fallen.

I know, we might need them to do us a favour on the 15th, IF, IF we are still in this race.

 

[Kirbys House]

You forget about the nerve-shredding chance they’ll get a minute in

 

[Sticky Fingers]

This game determines how the rest of this season goes.

There’s still lots to play for and still a title to be won.

Fucking come on Rangers and get it done!!

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Bomber Brown on RTV, a positive start so far.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

I'd fucking love an Ian Ferguson. That is Rangers

The big man on co-comms now too.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

You forget about the nerve-shredding chance they’ll get a minute in

By law of averages we have to have at least addressed this.

 

[temperance]

Another tense, fraught performance, I’ll go 1-0, Kilmarnock don’t concede many.

 

[Cletus Kasady]

Barisic and Silva.

Lord give me strength.

 

[Kit_]

Can see them targeting our left side with Borna and Silva, especially with Armstrong down that wing.

Let's get right into these fuckin pie munchers, Rangers.
