And Morelos’ red card rescinded totally shocked :rolleyes:

Correct decision has been reached finally.

Jelle1880

Third out of the last four reds we got rescinded...

Just saw West Brom made a bid of 3m for Tav
Good luck with that.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Windass off to Wigan for 2.5m plus’s add on’s and DJ having a medical with Swansea.

Berserker

FT 3-1. Really good result which sets us up very nicely for the next leg. That late third goal gives us a nice cushion and it was well deserved. Fancy us to score over there, so that should kill off the tie.

Jelle1880

Fantastic result, can't really do anything about their goal but the 2 goal lead should hopefully suffice.

Morelos making a lot of people eat their words

Berserker

Coulibaly is a machine. Forget to add that to my post.

Wish we could just use the option to buy right now, use the Windass money for all I care. The guy is unreal.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Just in the door after being at the game really pleased with our overall performance. Of course there’s things we could have done better but overall it was excellent. Coulibaly Tav And Alfredo we’re the standouts for me

Any reason the game wasn't on the box?

Other than Rangers having the rights and keeping it in house and showing it on RTV no.

Good win last night hopefully they get through now. It might take a couple of years but if things keep improving then Scottish clubs will be competitive again in Europe, or at least start qualifying in second and 3rd rounds. Hibs have a chance aswell especially if Zenith don't make it through to play offs.

2-0 at half time v St Mirren, nice, hopefully a comfortable win today!

Ah, didn't realize it was on RTV

Thanks!

Jelle1880

Stupid from McCrorie, absolutely no need for that.

Berserker

Very disappointed with McCrorie over the red card. Was never going to win that challenge and the rest of the team had to work that extra bit harder to cover, which could have an impact during the week. No appealing that one.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Team for tonight

RANGERS: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Halliday, Jack, Ejaria, Arfield, Candeias, Morelos, Murphy

Subs: Foderingham, Umar, Hodson, McCrorie, Kent, Kelly, Middleton

Berserker

FT 0-0. Really solid defensive and team performance tonight. McGregor MOTM with a really impressive display including saving that late penalty.

Good all round team performance

Fans in bother again I see lads

Jelle1880

It was a bit nervous at times but in general we never got into trouble.

McGregor saving that joke of a penalty only made it better :pac:

Attacked on the way to the ground by Maribor fans, bottles etc. thrown. Then when they arrived at the ground police all of a sudden stopped the march and started laying in with batons, tear gas,...

2 officers of Police Scotland were present and will no doubt have their say.

Team news

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic; Halliday, Ejaria, Arfield; Kent, Murphy, Morelos
Subs: Alnwick, Flanagan, McCrorie, Jack, Candeias, Middleton, Sadiq

Jelle1880

If you can't maintain a normal grass pitch then I really think you shouldn't be allowed in the league. That pitch at Rugby Park is a joke, once again another injury because of it.

Berserker

0-2 HT. Alfredo with both. Played really well in that half. The pitch is a disgrace.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Shocking pitch should not be allowed in top flight football
Alfredo should be on his hat trick that one that wasn’t given is clearly over the line

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Alfredo with the perfect hat trick

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Happy enough with that. We really need to get another CB in though

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Ayr Utd in the next round at home

Berserker

Good draw but the games really are piling up. Any truth in the rumours that FC Ufa might not be able to fulfill the home time due to visa issues?

That’s the rumour but to be honest I can’t see it happening the game will go ahead I reckon

Jelle1880

Seems like it won't be an issue. Would have been handy but beating them on the pitch is the right way to go about it.

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Confirmed that Lafferty has signed a two year deal. In not so good news Murphy is out for the season with an ACL injury

Team

RANGERS: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Flanagan; Jack, Candeias, Ejaria, Arfield, Kent; Morelos

SUBS: Foderingham, Wallace, Sadiq, Halliday, Ross McCrorie, Lafferty, Middleton

Broxi_Bear_Eire

HT 1-0 Rangers. Goldson sticks it away from close in

Broxi_Bear_Eire

Well going to have to be really strong over there.

Thought Ejaria was excellent tonight

Berserker

Tough game last night. Happy to get the win and think the clean sheet could prove to be a massive bonus. Get an away goal over there and I reckon we'll get through. On a side, what do you guys makes of the signing of Lafferty?

He will do a job I think in certain games we will go two up front with Morelos and Lafferty also he can play up there in his own when needed or drop back a bit.

Ragnar Lothbrok

Lafferty will always be a goal threat, and he loves the club too. His temperament is his biggest problem though, so hopefully he'll get a few red cards in games against Celtic this season

Was following on text commentary.


It semmed a lot better than what Stevie G thought of it afterwards.


Sounded like they have a ton of chances in the first half.


Was the first half as bad as Stevie G was suggesting?

From his perspective I can see why he wasn’t happy but no I don’t think it was as bad. McGregor had two saves to make in the whole game our defence was never under any real threat

1-0 down after 3 mins, very unlucky to slip there.

Jelle1880

The Ulster Gazelle levels it

edit: And straight back to 2-1 ffs
That 3-5-2 isn't working one bit.

super_furry

Watching this game makes me believe that the standard of the SPL is finally so bad, that it's making for great entertainment. Like the A-League in Australia, no-one can defend so games are turning into shoot-outs.

At least unlike our own league most of them have a decent first touch and can play some football.

That's what I mean. There's some decent attackers and midfielders and the defending is so poor, it makes for an entertaining game.

Jelle1880

Laffertyyyyyy

Defending is poor today but up until today Rangers had not went behind in any game and had only conceded four goals that’s uncluding the five euro ties so far. Rangers have went three at the back and it’s clear that the players are finding it strange and having trouble adjusting. We also have a full back playing one of the back three.

limnam

Lafferty not wasting much time.

Jelle1880

What a ****ing counter!
