Never underestimate the love that players and managers have for these kind of guys at football clubs. Characters, mainstays. Every club probably has one but few, if any, were as beloved as ours. Rangers has suffered a huge loss today.

Lowry “Hanging around for the contract wasn’t great but now that’s out the way I’m buzzing to concentrate on the football. Players and manager helped with confidence to try things but I do have a lot of self-belief”

Unbeaten in 9, 8 wins, 7 clean sheets and extended the gap. Couldn’t possibly have expected this start from Gio without much time to do his own thing.

Hagi changed that game. Goal from absolutely nothing and all of a sudden there was an urgency & belief that we haven’t seen from Rangers in 2020. Regardless of what happens next week, it’s the kind of moment that can change the general momentum of the season.

Easily the best realistic target we had and to get it all done within a week of losing our entire management team is excellent work. Stature in the game, success in the dugout already & an affection for the club. His first month or so is some task though!

The score line is obviously sensational but the manner of the capitulation is by far the most worrying part of tonight. From an impressive first half to entirely chucking it, it’s hard to see how that doesn’t impact the bread and butter.

Clinging onto whatever source of warmth there is. Despite the last decade, when the moment arrives in the coming weeks, I will have seen Rangers win the title more often than I’ve seen us fail. If they couldn’t see us, it’s because they were looking in the wrong direction.

That’s on the manager. Looked a team with actual shape and purpose after the changes but it was left too late and chasing the game. Initiative handed from the outset but even at HT there was a chance. A wasted cup final

It sounds ridiculous but it’s true. Walter Smith, alongside Souness and others, was more responsible for our childhood happiness than some family and friends could ever be. That impact never quite leaves you, no matter how cynical you get. A true Ranger. The Gaffer. RIP
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our former manager, chairman and club legend, Walter Smith.

Ah, Maurice. A move that said more about a new professionalism than an old religious passion. Celtic was the easy move but he chose life with a minder for more money & medals. Celtic were top before that Nov game. They won 5 of their next 24 league games & no trophies for 6 years

Listen, all football fans cherry pick what they get raging at and what they play down. Every single one.
But we are at Day 7 of mentalism now following a one-sided & relatively benign mid-season game that still left them top. An inferiority complex unrivalled in world sport.

A far bigger issue than the Morelos/McGregor action has been the lack of citations for more clear-cut incidents elsewhere. And even then it’s not close to being the biggest disgrace in Scottish football news this week. The silence on which, from the usual trumpets, is deafening

One thing I’ll be clinging onto until Thursday is how fit we look at the end of games. We’re certainly not flagging in body or spirit. Just the lack of quality in the final third that’s the huge worry

As for Gio, the biggest test of his ability is in the immediate couple of weeks, not tonight. Games aren’t turning points, responses to them are. As if we haven’t been scudded here before under Souness, Smith and Advocaat. Bad nights happen but bad months are the difference.

I see UEFA are deep into a pro-Rangers conspiracy now. I guess it’s the natural development of the mentalism at home. If any domestic progress or success can only be explained by Masonic refs then consistent Euro performance would disprove that. They’d have to be part of it 🥴🥴

Game 65 of an unforgettable but draining season. Rangers haven’t kept engravers busy recently so we’re in no position to dismiss today. Really need to take away something into a potentially pivotal summer.
I’ll be glad of the break though. It’s been all-consuming at times!

Stewart wouldn’t have dreamt of taking that position had it happened to a player of literally any other club in world football. With such entrenched tribalism, proper grown up coverage of these issues is next to impossible.

Gio will cop it if tomorrow goes badly, especially with a fantasy narrative that Alfie in his current state would have made all the difference, but I’m not sure that he has much choice here. Think they’re all fed up with him.

Asked Gio weeks back about finding a way to play both Çolak and Morelos & he looked at me as if I had 3 heads. Surely it’s worth a try on the right. Not slower than Arfield, gives opposition more to think about.
Çolak solved a problem for the manager but this creates a new one

SPFL vote fiasco is the kind of 3rd world electioneering that we like to mock. Votes made then changed. Rules being pulled out of a hat. I’ve no issue with politicking. I’ve no issue with clubs acting in self interest. The process & individuals in control of it is now the story.

Had his problems to overcome at Ibrox but there were two 18 month spells where he was not only the best No1 in Rangers history but arguably the best around at the time. Big game players live forever at this club and there were few who stood up to be counted more often than Goram
Rangers Football Club are today deeply saddened to announce the death of our legendary goalkeeper, Andy Goram, following a short battle with cancer.

We are in a title race. All that could be asked given one window and European exertions. They might be long term incumbents but they’ve not won a title under pressure since 2008 and even then only with some manipulation. Just try to keep the pace and see. Today is more than 3 pts

The board can easily point to reserving over £10m for Sands and Tillman, that getting players on CL wages is a risk when this might be a one-off and that there is no point buying for the sake of it just to keep the kids happy with a new toy but…

Contemporaneous criticism of language and humour is usually fair game. Even if the outrage is fake, at least it’s a live response. The desperate trawling for offence however, is a contrived and disingenuous sham and as such, pretty meaningless.
