Match Thread Rangers v Lech Poznan - 20:00 Thursday - BT Sport

[-ZED-]

Great result, fantastic 3 points, very professional.

 

[Bearsden Bear 77]

Good win. 6 points and in a good position going to Benfica next week. Got a feeling that will be a cracker

 

[Chainman]

Tougher than I thought. Great cross and great header. Free game basically against Benfica next week.

 

[1Hamburg]

Well Done, Gers!

 

[Installer]

Dear match thread, impatient, who know nothing about football tactics, 'fans'.

Get it right up ye's!

 

[Valley Bluenose]

What a cross from Borna (who was a bit sloppy defensively tonight) to find BOTH Alfie and Tav queuing up to put it away. Delighted to see Alfie get back on the scoresheet. He can break Super Ally's record in the Estadio da Luz.

Another two clean sheets in the Benfica games would be nice as well!

 

[Weesam]

That was a tough match and I'll take 1-0. No bad teams at this level.

Did I hear Stubbs say?

"They never bothered McLaughlin in the first half"

Jesus Christ...

He made a balls of it

 

[Essexjohn2]

Stubbs praising the quality of the cross from ... Morelos?

He's been pissed since the Celtic game

 

[Boabski Bluenose]

Very very happy with that result, especially after that cagey first half.
Barisic is cementing his place as one of the best full backs and crossers in Europe.
What a side Steven Gerrard is building here. He’s took on a project, and that project is finally bearing some real fruit that’s gonna taste very good come May.

He’s turned us into a very good European side, but more than that, This is a title winning side my friends, Mark my words, this side will win this title

I sincerely hope so mate.

 

[Bluerhap]

That’ll do nicely. Three points, played well within ourselves. This team just keeps delivering. Onto Kilmarnock on Sunday.

 

[Luthgibear]

Dug deep when required tonight.

Well done again to all involved!

 

[zammo]

Happy with that

 

[The Little General]

Stubbs praising the quality of the cross from ... Morelos?

I think Stubbs is a retard.

 

[allygaitken]

Haha, that wee knob has just done Ally on his Morelos pronunciation.

Morales!

 

[LAW]

Another half a million quid for that win, and the club’s coefficient improves , not the best performance but we will take it.

 

[Arkanoid]

Loved the fact we can now bring on players with the quality of Aribo, Jack and Morelos.

And not a we miss Candeais thread in sight!

 

[Potnbear]

What a difference in game management now. Thought Balogun had a great game

 

[Highland Gers]

Another great result.

Well done Rangers- same on Sunday please

 

[Muzza]

Massive 3 points. Job done. Great grit and determination to get the job done whilst not at our best.

 

[barrheadbear]

That was flat, no zip, no urgency at all. Lech have done their homework and ensure we cannot get Tav high up the pitch, hemming him in just over the halfway line.

Too early to get worried but hey, I'm a pessimist do I'm worried. Got a strong bench so could see many subs. Arfield has been anonymous so Aribo would bd a decent replacement. Perhaps this might just be the game where Alfie comes on to be our saviour with a winning goal.

I'm gonna pat myself on the head, my half time prediction of Alfie scoring our winning goal

 

[Brahim Hemdani's Granny]

Loved the fact we can now bring on players with the quality of Aribo, Jack and Morelos.

My biggest takeaway from the game. We have a quality squad and if its not working we can change things - today if paid off.

Superb

 

[EKblue]

I think we may have went another game with the opposition getting a shot on target can anyone recall one?

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Clean sheet kings

 

[Goity]

I was secretly worried about the match tonight, I thought it was the kind of match we might drop points on.

Delighted with that 1-0 and Darrell Currie ripping the pish out of Ally on his pronunciation of Morelos was the icing on my cake.

 

[theryesider]

Thank god for Mr Tennant’s usually watch it with mates but in the house myself tonight, that was a hard shift, don’t half miss the interaction with them or my son who is nightshift.
Anyway never seen us give the ball away so much in a long time, but a win is a win in anybodys book, and the gers go marching on, bring on the Killie.

 

[EOS]

A different test tonight but we dug it out. Kamara looked good and a deserved assist for Barisic.

 

[RobSkin]

Delighted for Alfie, another clean sheet in Europe, superb.

 

[LucyBlue]

2 games in the Europa league...2 wins...6 points. 2 clean sheets. Over a million in prize money.

Love you Gers.

 

[Aintree Iron]

Remind me how many consecutive clean sheets at home please.

 

[Bluenose88]

He doesn't deserve to. He's been dire and should be made to work his way into the team by performing in training and from the bench.

2019 and prior form matters not a jot.

Just like that, you mean?

 

[GS94]

Very professional and patient performance from us

 

[Fergie90]

We turned a European game into a routine win and folk are moaning. Mental.

 

[Liviger1984]

and Roofy!

That was annoying as anything haha!

 

[super coop11]

Job done Rangers

 

[Beanzie]

Delighted with that. 6 points, Alfie on the score sheet, equaling McCoist's European record and both the Poles and the Belgians still on zero. Delighted

 

[Davieblue1977]

3pts
Another clean sheet
And more money in the bank with a win

 

[King Albertz]

I'm sure plenty said that about Alfie as well. !

I think Alfie has more than proven himself

Barker just isn't good enough, I get we need to rest legs..10 mins wont make much difference.

He was also lost our shape on the left at the end

 

[BillStruthsGreenhouse]

That was a great result against a very powerful, dynamic, well organised, and technically confident team.

A new challenge against a different type of opponent which was overcome by using the depth of squad. The cross and the header for the goal were a thing of beauty.

 

[AppleBear]

Job done. A win at Ibrox against Liege and that's us through I'd say

Nah, another win against Benfica next week.
We’ve got great history against the Portuguese.

 

[jafro1988]

Another win and another clean sheet, superb stuff

 

[BillySimpson]

Fantastic 3 points. These have been great days, the best in many a year.

 

[Moodiesburn Blue]

Winning ugly, don’t think we win that game last season. Great to dig it out

 

[Doctor Robert]

To be fair, we ground that out. Poznan were really up for this match and on another day would have taken something.

 

[Gordonek]

Need to calm down... Referee wasn't a problem tonight.. Ok.. Gave some decisions that were not great... Polish players made of chocolate.. But that's how it goes... Rangers toiled for most of the game for whatever reason.. but got there in the end... End of

 

[Camy]

This team really has something about it now, dont want to go overboard and compare to teams of the past but we have fight, we can play, and when we dont play we can still win.

#55

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

And another 500,000 EUR as well, thank you very much.

 

[Sweet_Home_Alabama]

There are no easy touches in Europe these days. Pish talk about 3, 4 and 5 nil before game was just that. Good win, half a million banked and Alfie back on score sheet. That result on Sunday will do me fine.

 

[SuperGers07]

Job done and basically through to the last 32

 

[L_D]

are you all right lads? need an ice-cream? will you survive acting like fannies?


don't start the delete now, leave the posts up

 

[Bluethruandthru]

Don't give two f***s what anybody says about the opposition that was a hard fought victory right there.

We are taking on all comers now and coming away with results. That was more pleasing for me than the Belgian result simply because we were expected to win against a weaker opponent who actually turned out to be pretty decent. They carried a threat throughout yet we held our nerve and got the result. The Manager deserves full credit for that tonight imo. Using the squad and getting results. I could not be happier
