Looking at the squad now, we have players such as Tav, Alfie, Arfield, Goldson, Katic that imo are all very valuable to us
 
Current team.

Better manager for a start.

I'd also rather have Morelos & Defoe than Lafferty and a seemingly more and more disinterested Jelavic.(although he was amazing the devious season)

Tavernier is miles better than Whittaker.

Goian was bang average.

Davis & McGregor are now far more experienced.

I liked Aluko & Bocangera.

Kamara will go onto be better than Edu.

Wylde could be effective but a bit of a one trick poney.

Ortiz was sh!t.
 
McGregor
Whittaker Goian Bocanegra Papac
Naismith Davis Edu Wylde (Aluko after Jan)
Jelavic Lafferty

I’d say Tav, Goldson, Kamara & Morelos would get in that team.

Tav Goldson Bocanegra Papac
Naismith Davis Kamara Aluko
Jelavic Morelos
 
I don't feel this squad is a million miles away at all. That squad had more title challenging experience and a few more top players, but I'd argue the overall quality of the squad isn't too far off it and by the end of this window will probably be on par if not better.

I’d agree. So fairly even split.

Would you play 2012 MacGregor and Davis or 2019 versions though?

Think i’d take 2019 MacGregor and 2012 Davis. And Kent/Ojo instead of Wylde. Aluko probably ahead of them though. So 5.5 from each.

That team would maul cunts 5-0 every week in this league.
 
It's a good question. I believe the current squad are better.

2012 McGregor was outstanding as well, probably one of the best in Britain that season.
 
I have full belief that Gerrard will do it this season, I’m putting last season down to a learning curve, however there shouldn’t ever be learning curves at our club, should always be able to hit the ground running
Agreed. Don't get me wrong I love Gerrard and think he has the potential to do magnificent things at Rangers.

I agree but since Gerrard was new to management I think the learning curve can be forgiven.

Davis 2012 is unquestionably better than Davis 2019

Think that shows what a lot are saying, we need CB, LB and CF as our three main signings. We also have more options out wide now but arguably not the quality of Naismith or Aluko.
