MOTM Poll St Johnstone v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[UlsterScotGer]

For me today crystallised why Helander is not the defender many on here think he is. Back to his own goal he is very solid, the moment he gets turned against pace and trickery he looks ropey.

There’s not many complete defenders, and if there’s any they’re not coming to Scotland. If what you say is true it’s up to the management to arrange us tactically to minimise that risk. Any defender in the world will get exposed to pace if there’s nobody within 30 yards of him.

 

[Lovenkrands]

Big result for us.

Performance still a mile off, but we showed character to dig out the win.

We need a break with injuries/illness as it now looks like we will lose Helander for a bit.

Hopefully just dig out results until we show a bit more of what we can do.

 

[Bossorange]

Tav’s goal man. Wow

 

[HowdenEnder]

That replay of Tav's celebration.

Tav doing the 'can you see us noo?' meme, Farmer in the stand folding his arms in disgust, then the glaikit coupon of the far side lino!

 

[mad4rfcme]

Well done Rangers, off to do my breathing exercises now.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Another 3pts without playing anywhere near our best.

 

[CowBoy1872]

Watching the replay of O'HailHails goal there, if Balogun hadn't have slowed down he would have covered when he turns away from Helander

 

[temperance]

Can we now put to bed the idea that Bassey should start before Barasic?

 

[cm72]

 

[okbear]

For their goal, with keepers playing like sweepers, was McLaughlin exposed/not back nearer his line due to this?

I thought if he’d been nearer his goal line he might have saved that shot.

This is just an observation and not a criticism.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Have Boyd & McFadden got a 2for1 on their outfit?

 

[chablue1]

well done rangers
3 points in the bag, move on to next game

 

[WeeDeeBee]

Is Liam Craig a bitter Celtic fan or just a cunt? I appreciate he might also be both.

I'm guessing both mate.

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

Fantastic win! Well done Rangers.... Few on here will be hurting tonight

 

[scottie59]

Michael Stewart absolutely spewing on BBC hahaha can barely speak.

do not listen to them knobs, what was he spewing was it that was not a penalty etc or did the banner being displayed annoy him

 

[Karky Madoolla]

I'm sure that linesman has previous against us. What's his name?

Baldy Russian.

 

[BoomSong]

Edge of the seat stuff, think big Fil was likely carrying a knock going into this and takes unnecessary criticism on here, take a bow Tav though, what a goal! :shh:

Onwards!

Aribo MOM

involved all over the pitch and all through the game, right to the end when he was chasing after his own clearance.
Great goal from Tav, but struggled with getting crosses past first man and completing passes.

 

[Anony Mouse]

Going by the poll, I see some had same problem as I had, try to choose a motm. Between Aribo, Kent (second half display), Tav.
Just for the goal alone had to go for Tav.
I wank dugs making it hard again

 

[Jase]

See that baldy assistants face when Tav puts it in.

 

[BigBuff]

That's what champions do

 

[scottie59]

Hope Helander not to serious but a good 3 points

 

[nateman]

That far side linesman's face is absolutely tripping him in the slo mo of Tav's goal.

Far side linesman was reaking

 

[Gauche.]

Exactly why Scottish football will never progress.
St Johnstone are lauded as one of our better teams, yet they are nothing but a fouling, nasty kick and rush plodders.

 

[temperance]

That far side linesman's face is absolutely tripping him in the slo mo of Tav's goal.

He gave us nothing the whole game, even demanding Tav move the ball back half a centimetre at a corner.

 

[scottie59]

See that baldy assistants face when Tav puts it in.

I noticed that he did not seem to happy probably because he could not make a decision to get it chopped off lol

 

[WeeDeeBee]

What a fc£&7?n goal! Best player today. Had to manage the defence with two mainstays out and still scores that.

Yet, many on here were wanting him dropped at HT.

FF as its finest.

 

[Ryzogrumpybear]

You win titles by digging deep and scoring goals net rippers like that bloody hell what a week

 

[ShieldhallBear]

Fantastic goal by Tav wasn’t it James? “Sighh.... yes it was” hahaha absolutely gutted on sky.

 

[bluejay]

Tremendous result after going one down. Well done Rangers

 

[geronimo]

I know he's just on but Simpson gives me the fear.

He did well when he came on.

 

[RoyalBlue1]

I could pick holes in every player but that was a great victory in difficult circumstances so I won't.
St Johnstone reverted to type and were fucking abysmal, take a bow James Tavernier. That goal epitomises class in any league or competition.

 

[Zangief]

Excellent win despite the thuggish tactics of the opposition. And Callum Davidson is considered one of the best managers in the country? No wonder the game in Scotland is dying.

 

[Rangerista]

Any update on Helander?

 

[Jase]

I'm wondering if Helander was carrying a knock. That was by far his worst performance this season. Now it looks likely he's gonna niss a few.

If Goldson had been available would Fil have played?

Big miss for the EL games.

 

[Bigeye]

well done Rangers, great goal by Tav

 

[clubdeckcharlie]

Have Boyd & McFadden got a 2for1 on their outfit?

...and hairweaves.

 

[Inverhouse]

Not a chance should bassey be in front on borna as our 1st choice left back.
The boy is moving in the correct direction but no way is he ready to play a full season as 1st choice.

 

[Arab]

how many times was kent fouled ? all the other teams are allowed to kick lumps out of him

 

[The Gooner]

See that baldy assistants face when Tav puts it in.

Who is he? He was telling Tav to move the ball a fraction of an inch at a corner.

 

[BBBear]

Delighted with that ,obviously nowhere near it performance wise but that’s the kind of game that we just need to find a way to win and we did that !

 

[jonesy8]

A very very good victory and a far better performance in the last 35 minutes thought Aribo was superb and tavernier wow what a finish.

 

[Davie2021]

Nobody had a great game but for sheer effort and determination hats off to big Joe Aribo

 

[Stanley]

A huge win. Once again not at our best, but 3 points is what matters when we are clearly still not playing as well as last season. So long as we keep winning during this spell it will bring dividends later in the season.

 

[TheDerryend]

Seemed it wasn't another tannadice after all.

 

[scottie59]

SG saying getting result the way we did it is what champions do, and thats why we are champions, saying not looking good for Helander

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Gerrard even saying Simpson for mideeek haha

 

[geronimo]

Thought the three subs played their part in the win , well done.

 

[derbybear]

Gerrard not changing this is going to cost us 3 points

Another reason why people should stay off the match thread - could have picked numerous people blaming everyone and anyone.

 

[Anony Mouse]

All else I will say. A goal like that deserves a great reward.
