Look I do agree with some of the posts on some of the players, most of them in fact, but c'mon now, the footballs been bad at times, but it'll get better this season and then the season after in the SPL, we've been playing against teams that play 11 players at the back, ok, the odd hiccup or 3, in cups, but over all we should all be happy with the overall, the utter crap everybody at the club has and STILL has to put up with, each and every other day, we should all just be glad we're still here winning leagues, and still will be here winning leagues! So thanks to all the real diehard rangers fans out there!

Tommy45 don't speak to soon mate we've only won 2 of they they 3 leagues you mention

Good response Tommy and spot on. 2 Years ago everyone was just happy to still have a club. Then it was a disappointment not to be elected back into the SPL but life goes on and everyone then set their expections on promotion, in consecutive seasons, back to the SPL. Everything expected/demanded has been delivered. Has there been a lot of ugly football along the way? Yes, but the target of direct promotion back up to the 'top' league is still on course. Off the field is another subject but despite all of that the set targets are being met. Is Ally and his staff the right people for the job? We all have opinions but I say the supporters should get behing whover is in charge right now. ST and boycotts etc. this is a personal nature and not part of this comment.

If these teams played with '11 players at the back', then why was it necessary to hoof long balls up to the front? A lot of these teams showed an unexpected amount of skill and dexterity and it is both disingenuous and insulting to state otherwise. Rangers have not played very much good football over the last two years and if you think that is about to change, you might be severely disappointed. Don't blame the other teams. Prepare yourself.

we do not want to be world beaters but playing football on the ground instead of in the air all the time we are better attacking our manager just needs to give the players beleive to attack instead of defending players just need confidence and believe

@ 4 if you keep it simple like you say everything looks Peachy. If you add any layers onto it like 10 cup competition failures including three in a row to Dundee United, crowds falling away to 20,000 or under in-spite of the scintillating part time league winning form then it does not appear quite so satisfactory. But hey some of us are more easily pleased and some are perhaps too demanding expecting to be entertained.
We arrived in the current mess by spending more than we could afford and we are doing it again but we've won the two worst leagues in Scotland going about it in a way that caused us to go pop in the first place fan bleedin tastic! Woopie effn doo the very definition of madness- doing the same thing again but expecting a different outcome. What's that old country and western song- craz-ee.

Yeah it's called insanity. I don't expect ex footballers to walk around with a cv of a CA under their arm but I'd expect one or two of their bosses to.

We have to live within our means and to do so we need to make Murray Park pay its way. That means we need a coach who risks youth and if it means we miss out on promotion for a year, so be it. Better than going bust again. Not that I think we'll miss out as the talent is there already.

Nice one Colin Macdonald! There's been far too many posts slagging Gers, especially Ally. Let's get behind the team, manager, etc. , and start looking forward for a change. We're going to have a wee bit of rivalry back in the Championship with Hibs and Hearts. Bring it on!

@7 a bear, great post. My Boss has a great saying "Make mistakes, but make new ones!".

@7. don't disagree but my points are still valid. When it looked like the club might not even exist the supporters were just glad to see survival. The main objectives have been met, no one can refute that. Now as for the rest of your post, yes I do agree with what you say. I am not trying to window dress anything but we have a lot of people who forget how the club survived. can't change the past and as for the future. I made a point of not discussing the financial situation in my post and stuck to football.
Look how long it has taken the Celtic supporters to realise just what Fergus McCann really did for them. It was the Rangers mess which brought them to their senses. Can the same thing happen here? Not under the current regime.

@ 11 well argued but I disagree. We have different aspirations for the club. Yours appears to solely be- get to the top league and sod the consequences. Mine is more what will the consequences be if we allow our £7million a year ageing squad with a very poor manager to get us to the top league where we will not be competitive? We have potentially one more season before we are back among the "big boys" we should at least be looking at reducing the age and cost of the squad as they cannot compete currently with Ally as the manager and we cannot afford Ally or his team.
Auchenhowie has only been used as a training ground but that was not the plan- it was to make us self sufficient. We will never be that with wee Ally. Your happy - I ain't let's just agree to disagree.
