And we’ve not been linked with a similar player in that style.Deja Vu
Everyone could see we needed a leader who is strong, in midfield. Can lead this team on to win.
It is now a matter of urgency.
We should as a support.Our manager and club don’t.
Watching Tav at the end greeting at that c**t Porteus, should have been right in his face. He was laughing at Tav, makes my blood boil
Under Gerrard we have never delivered domestically when it matters . Shitebags the lot of them
Injuries are part and parcel of football. It is very obvious we are light in the central midfield department. Relying on an ageing Davis like we did last year won't cut it. Good player but not at a stage to play 2 times per week, Ryan Jack is also injured constantly due to wear and tear.It cost £50k because of the situation with the players contracts at the time And you know that. Picking up Aribo and Kamara for £50k is great business. At a different point in their contracts that would have been a £10 million figure. People are now saying they will go for £10 million each, so I don't agree with what you are saying. What is costing the team now is a bad run of injuries.
I’ve got a horrible feeling we’ll be having the same discussions next week after the motherwell game.
Spot on mate canny say anything negative or you’ll get accused a being a mentally challengedWe've been having the same discussions over the past 2 seasons, 2 seasons with nothing to show for it.
1st bit of pressure this season & we fail to rise to it.
Unfortunately there are some so blind that cannot see.
Call it bottle, mental strength, resolve - whatever, but this squad doesn’t have it.
I keep seeing threads and posts comparing this squad to players from Walter Smith’s most recent 3IAR run - a period he was outspent by the mentally challengeds - and the truth is that you wouldn’t have any of the current lot over them. They might be a bit fancier now, play a bit more attractive football, but they’re not winners.
A poor decision robbed us of three points, how is that an excuse?

I personally don’t think we’ll know where we are until we play them. That’ll be the gauge of how far we’ve come or not come.
A bad result against a decent and confident Hibs team and a lot of football to still be played, no one has bottled it from anything just yet. Although our mentality in previous years under Gerrard after a few bad results does leave me worried that this is the start of a downfall. We need to dust ourselves off and go out and absolutely murder Motherwell in our next league game, that's how winners deal with a bad result. Time for this squad to start proving they can be winners.
Even though the hibs player was offside we still had 2 chances to deal with it, Taverneir should never have allowed boyle to get the cross in & Helander could possibly have done better with the cross into the box
This is exactly , we can’t deal with itAll good and well and a good result against Motherwell is a must. The thing I'm worried about is this, Motherwell will come out the exact same way as Hibs. They'll get in our faces and commit dirty fowels that break the game up.
What really annoyed me about yesterday's game was that nobody in a Rangers shirt sorted this out. They let Hibs boot lumps out of us and did hee haw.
That ratbag Portius should have been cemented early doors and a marker put down. A John Brown or Ian Ferguson would have sorted things out.
Unfortunately I don't see anything different happening on Sunday. Motherwell will kick anything that moves and we'll let them.
Well I am afraid you will have to accept that we will have to get behind the players as we aren’t getting another team or coaching staff any time soon. I personally don’t think it’s a team off bottlers but that’s my opinion.They're now breathing down the back of our necks and made up ground this week before we played our fixture.
Was then time for our players to stand up and be counted and they duly obliged with defensive cockups and players looking like they've played together for the first time.
Fair play to anybody who believes these players, this coaching team and this board are going to rise to the occasion of winning a league title. There's not a leader of men amongst any of them.
Don’t you think celtic will drop points?When did supporting Rangers equate to ignoring the negatives and ignoring the obvious in favour of saying “yeah wooooooo, a point at Easter Road, they’ll only be 2 ahead if they win their game in hand wooooo”.
Helander? The Hibs player had two hands on his shoulders.
This 100% punksnotdead. Back in the day, a rangers captain and a couple of his lieutenants would have taken retribution during the game (covertly).All good and well and a good result against Motherwell is a must. The thing I'm worried about is this, Motherwell will come out the exact same way as Hibs. They'll get in our faces and commit dirty fouls that break the game up.

I don’t think they’ll beat Hibs. They might get over the line this weekend but Hibs will beat them at Easter roadIt won't.
We'll probably beat them. They win leagues though because they beat the rest of the league.
If you give Walter Smith the exact same squad we win the league. Sometimes it's not just about buying players, it's about moulding a team of winners. Unfortunately managers like Walter don't grow on trees.
Try watching a replay of it, Helander did a cracking job of watching the runner.I'm not directly blaming helander although he didn't seem to be aware of their player running in & i do agree that he was fouled.
Yesterday wasn’t pressure though was it? It was about making a statement that said ok use get your dodgy decision and we will go out and smash it or at least grab it.We've been having the same discussions over the past 2 seasons, 2 seasons with nothing to show for it.

We will likely play them with the same team that played v Hibs.I personally don’t think we’ll know where we are until we play them. That’ll be the gauge of how far we’ve come or not come.
There’s still to many player hanging or were allowed to hang about getting random shots like Jones, Stewart, Barker, Ojo, katic.This all day long. New players in the squad this year - apart from a midfielder which we all acknowledge we need - mean squad depth is no longer an excuse. We have an extremely strong squad with a terrible mental attitude.
That’s coming from the management team because there has been a lot of players in the 25 man squad over the past three seasons and the team cannot handle the pressure regardless of the players in the squad.
After 15 minutes on Sunday, or even at 1-2, did anyone honestly think that we would win comfortably. Let’s be honest, it was clearly a draw all day long and the most painful thing is that we can see it coming...
3 weeks on Saturday ? With an international break right before hand? However it would give these 2 key players needed time to come in and settle for at least a decent Period but we will no doubt mess that upWe will likely play them with the same team that played v Hibs.
Too many injuries just now
Aye, I dont think anyone could potentially miss up to 6 weeks with muscle injury, then come straight into the starting line up. They will need eased back in3 weeks on Saturday ? With an international break right before hand? However it would give these 2 key players needed time to come in and settle for at least a decent Period but we will no doubt mess that up

And officials key in most of those. They certainly made the difference for Hibs today didn’t they?
