Rangers banter 3

07 Apr 2026 22:17:01
Listen I know we have to play all the teams after the split but what a joke or the outcome of the post split fixtures. No way should a team in with a chance of winning the title, have their rivals play one of the other teams on the final day. Let's not kid ourselves here.

If Celtic happened to be out the title race by the last game, there is no way in hell that they aren't lying down to hearts. Tell yourselves different but your just kidding yourself on if you believe the opposite. We should have Hibs last then to balance it out

07 Apr 2026 22:31:15
We get Hibs the game before, and possibly they won't be pulling up trees to beat us either, we win our games. It won't matter about anyone else, starting with Falkirk on Sunday.

07 Apr 2026 22:32:18
What about if it's a fight between Hearts and Celtic for getting second? Do you think Celtic would give up the chance of Champions League?

07 Apr 2026 22:57:43
I don't think second gets a chance for Champions League this year.

07 Apr 2026 23:05:31
I'm pretty sure 2nd place does Rfc.

07 Apr 2026 23:05:41
Are you implying we could lie down to Hibs to stuff Hearts and allow Celtic to win the title?

07 Apr 2026 23:26:52
No way are Celtic going to lie down for possible Champions League qualifiers, but regardless, if we do our job then whatever they do is pointless.

08 Apr 2026 06:48:19
Yes 2nd get CL qualifiers.

08 Apr 2026 07:31:27
No they don't, Paul. Coming 2nd could be Conference League if 2nd place doesn't win the cup.
Winning the cup is Europa League qualifiers.
Coming 2nd is Conference League.

There is only one spot to Champions League this season.

08 Apr 2026 07:33:47
Sorry, that is from next season what I had said, not this season. 2nd place gets Champs League.

08 Apr 2026 08:16:49
Once we only have a few clubs in Europe, we'll rise once again in the coefficient points. Can anyone remember what place Scotland were in Europe a few seasons ago?

08 Apr 2026 08:21:42
Problem is it's getting harder for Scottish clubs to get there.

08 Apr 2026 09:29:49
Second place goes into 3rd round Champions League qualifying round, I believe.
First goes into play-off Champions League qualifying unless we win it and winner of Greek League goes in outlet favor the. We go into group.
Honestly, don't think Celtic would lay down if still going for second at least.

08 Apr 2026 09:50:04
Moral of the story is all the Scottish teams in Europe next season need to get their finger out, as we are dropping down the co-efficient standings which is not good for anyone.

08 Apr 2026 11:06:23
Alloa - He's meaning if it's between us and Hearts going into the second last lot of fixtures, it's just as easy for Hibs to lie down as it is for them against Hearts last game.

Basically, he's meaning any team could moan and groan about the fixtures to suit their own narrative.

Stop moaning, accept what they are, and let's get it done. No point feeding the "everyone's against us" narrative that we hear so often from the East.

08 Apr 2026 13:43:13
Celtic have 1 point from 9 against Hearts this year, so maybe it's not going to be a case of lying down to Hearts and just the fact that Hearts are better than them this year. If we win our games, it doesn't matter what anyone else does. I think Hearts will struggle in the split, personally.

08 Apr 2026 17:19:05
My apologies, I misread that.

Does anyone know how many goals Tav has scored for us and how many are pens?

07 Apr 2026 18:26:08
139 goals, 77 pens. Wilkins, as far I can see, mate.

07 Apr 2026 20:34:15
Ta, bb.

07 Apr 2026 13:35:57
WE CAN DO THIS! 🇬🇧🇬🇧.

07 Apr 2026 15:40:31
Top three. Don't think the other two have much chance of winning all games. We should.

07 Apr 2026 15:42:37
We will do this. 🇬🇧 🫡

07 Apr 2026 15:57:29
Just had a wee look at the odds, we're now clear favourites at 5/4. Luckily, I took us when the odds were a lot more generous.

07 Apr 2026 16:01:52
Maybe I'm just a half empty guy, but for me it's a toss up between the 3 teams. I'm not overly confident, think a big ask at Parkhead and Tynecastle. In fact, not overly confident about any of our remaining games.

07 Apr 2026 16:09:42
Me2, We have won on our last 2 visits against better tim teams. Nothing to fear. Tyncastle will be trickier, but is also a very winnable game.

🔴⚪🔵

07 Apr 2026 16:47:31
Me2 were in the best form of the 3 sides.

07 Apr 2026 17:10:04
Yes, we can, Paul.

I have been consistent in what I have said.

I believe in Andrew's leadership and vision.

I believe in Danny Rohl.

07 Apr 2026 18:13:22
Foolmonty, No way Tynecastle is harder than a Martin Oneill team at Parkhead! Rohl hasn't beaten him yet.

07 Apr 2026 18:58:09
Clear favourites? Have you seen the help that other mob are getting.

07 Apr 2026 19:33:41
Well, seeing we draw the short straw with the home & away fixtures, typical.

07 Apr 2026 19:39:51
Win our games up to and including Hearts, we can afford to draw with Celtic and probably 1 other due to GD.
Table may change this weekend.
If Hearts drop points and we beat Falkirk, we can afford to draw against Hearts and Celtic due to superior GD.
Many permutations, best taking it game by game.

07 Apr 2026 19:42:50
Leerc, what do you mean?

07 Apr 2026 22:40:33
Every game will be tricky and we have harder run in with away games, but if we can get our best team on park for these games we can win title. Djiga and Fernandez look solid, and add Stirling and hopefully Rommens, then it should take a lot of the fear away from us gifting goals away.

Add we are making a lot more chances than it looks good. One game at a time, starting Sunday against a good Falkirk team with a few more than decent players. If things go great we could win title at home against Hibs. Strap in troops.

07 Apr 2026 22:57:46
Aph, do you believe in the players though? Andrew and Danny aren't the ones out on the pitch.

My concern is that they'll bottle it again when it matters most.

08 Apr 2026 03:40:06
@Paul86, what I mean is that I think we have the poorest draw compared to the other 2.

08 Apr 2026 08:33:06
Gazza, I believe with the leadership and support from the top the players have a platform to get over the line.

07 Apr 2026 13:28:58
Re looking at post split fixtures, I actually think they have went our way. Let's get the 3 hardest games out the way then we know roughly where we're at. Hibs will be tough but we're at home and if it's win 2 games to win the title I believe that will motivate the players then the easiest game on paper let's say Falkirk last.

If it does come down to the last game their will be immense pressure on both Hearts and Celtic who play each other. Hearts also play Motherwell twice so harder for them I imagine. Win 7 games and we're sorted.

07 Apr 2026 17:27:01
Only 6 games left fella. 💙

07 Apr 2026 19:06:31
Davie, if we lose to Hearts and draw with other mob, we are out of it, but I believe we will beat Hearts and imo it's down to them away assuming they don't drop points before we okay.

07 Apr 2026 19:38:51
A actually think we would still win it without beating Hearts or Celtic. Draw both, we will win the league.

07 Apr 2026 22:45:42
Could be right, Kipbear, as long as we win our next two leading up to them, a win against Hearts and a draw at Celtic. I would cut my arm off for.

07 Apr 2026 13:19:50
Great run off fixtures for Rangers, win it at Ibrox with back up off Falkirk away. Last two games.

07 Apr 2026 13:37:38
Mad that none of our 2 home games are at the weekend. Didn't expect any different though. But yes, get through the Celtic and Hearts games out the way. Then they play each other last game.

07 Apr 2026 13:48:02
We play Motherwell at the weekend, Paul. 🤔

07 Apr 2026 13:56:17
Falkirk away on the final day could be a blessing. Yes, it's an astro pitch and there will likely be only a small number of away fans to cheer the team on.

However, Falkirk could have nothing to play for in the league by then (catching Hibs or Motherwell for a possible European place), with a (possible) Scottish Cup Final the week after the final game.

They will need to get through Dunfermline in the semis, though. Could be the prospect of a rotated/rested Falkirk side ahead of that upcoming Scottish Cup Final.

07 Apr 2026 14:06:05
Yeah, sorry, confusing it with Hearts May Day Monday. We were always going to be away Falkirk last. Although didn't foresee Celtic v Hearts last.

07 Apr 2026 14:23:38
Paul, that was predicted in Edinburgh papers as Hibs were going to be home last game, so Hearts were never going to be home against us at same time.

07 Apr 2026 14:38:46
Not the worst run of fixtures but we will need to be top going into the last game. Hard game this weekend, but a win puts us in the driving seat. Win the two home games, and avoid defeat in the rest will likely be enough. Not easy. But very possible.

Surely Sky had a say in either us or them playing Hearts on final day, in the event it's a title decider.

07 Apr 2026 14:56:26
Celtic Hearts last game so if they are not winning can't help Hearts win league ahead of Rangers corrupt to core also two teams that can win league and are 1st and 2nd away last game if season so can't celebrate in front of their own fans.

Sick of nothing being done about the corrupt governance of our game.

07 Apr 2026 15:30:14
We'd all love the split games to be set up each week as critical to the outcome of the title.
A chance for the SPFL and Sky to truly sell our league in the most competitive title race in years.
But we have to remember that Scotland, in transportation terms, is very small.
We have 5 of the 6 teams with easy access to the mate motorway corridor and the trains linking both the major cities in Scotland.


4 of these teams are bitter rivals within their respective cities.
A logistical nightmare for those in charge to try and stop rival fans clashing, as tensions will no doubt arise the closer to the end of the season we get.

07 Apr 2026 20:24:04
Forever, stop greeting nothing is corrupt. Celtic have more home games left than us, so the chances they were home last day was massive.

07 Apr 2026 13:12:29
Celtic Hearts last game of the season. If it goes down to the last game of the season it's going to be mental.

07 Apr 2026 14:33:33
I'll be very happy if we go into the last game needing a win v Falkirk and let them 2 scrap it out for 2nd place.

07 Apr 2026 14:41:06
If it goes to last game, u want both needing to win, hopefully won't matter as long as we have it in our own hands.

07 Apr 2026 14:44:26
Cheers, I can actually see that happening, mate.

07 Apr 2026 14:58:28
Dave, I called this, also called Rangers v Hearts early, league doing everything they can to help Celtic.

So if Celtic are not winning, they can allow Hearts to win to stop us winning, total farce.



Also the fact they have scheduled 1st and 2nd away last day so can't celebrate in front of own fans is terrible, the corruption in our league is real, people need to wake up to it.

07 Apr 2026 15:07:58
Forever, relax. It's what we do, no one else. Win six, win league.
Do u honestly believe east end mob lie done let Hearts win league then miss out cl.

07 Apr 2026 15:16:40
People are awake to the corruption. Celtic and their fans know it's corrupt in their favour as well

But no one or no team will take a stand against it.

Same as the UK gov, everyone says how rubbish it is/corrupt it is but nothing ever gets done to combat that.

Virtue signaling the kids call it. 🤣

07 Apr 2026 15:20:11
Ally, explain how it's corrupt. This is best run possible for Rangers.

07 Apr 2026 15:31:25
Think some on this thread have stolen Storm's tin foil hat from below.

07 Apr 2026 15:32:37
Pleasantly surprised by our run of games. 👍✌️🇬🇧

07 Apr 2026 15:44:30
Don't have any problems with our fixtures, quite happy, only team I can see winning the rest of the games is us.

07 Apr 2026 15:46:18
I have a metal sieve bowl that I don't need, if anyone wants that to wear on their head, as it's more comfortable and better looking than tin foil.

07 Apr 2026 15:47:22
Really can't say it's corrupt. 4 teams in top 6 that can't play the games the same day in their cities, so no doubt it was the only option. I think us playing Falkirk last and both of them playing suits us, but I'm sure they be celebrations like 55 if we do win.

07 Apr 2026 16:16:32
Bluebear, not one of top 3 will win all their games imho - it will be interesting, however, to see who can hold their nerves best. 🤔 Hopefully us. 👍

07 Apr 2026 19:59:09
Win four games, we could draw with both Hearts and Celtic and we will still win the league. 💙

07 Apr 2026 20:25:48
Mph 😂😂 the difference is I was joking, these people are being serious. 😂 It's a tad embarrassing.

07 Apr 2026 20:41:02
I know, Storm.
Seems to be a few who can't fathom how it all works.

07 Apr 2026 20:46:51
I don't think anything's corrupt. However, I can't believe they have put Celtic against Hearts on the final day, and I would say the same if it was Rangers v Hearts. The 3 games between the 2 should've been in the first 3 rounds of post split fixtures. It's unlikely, but not impossible, that by the final game Celtic can't catch Rangers, but Hearts still could, or Hearts could still be top. If that's the case, there is zero chance Celtic take anything from that game and allow Rangers the chance to stroll into the Champions League group stage and for us to strengthen even more - it's unlikely it'd get to that, but it shouldn't be a possibility.

If Rangers were in that situation with no chance of winning the league, I'd want and expect us to lie down to Hearts too to prevent Celtic winning the league and access to the Champions League money.

07 Apr 2026 21:25:33
Correct, Jack. The game wasn't made as a blockbuster final match for TV, it's a safety net for Celtic imo.

07 Apr 2026 21:55:22
Then would take away our chance of playing in Champions League, Jack. 💙

07 Apr 2026 22:08:17
Mph, it's funny. 🤣

Jack, I called it I new one of old from we be Hearts last game.

08 Apr 2026 00:09:37
Storm, I honestly didn't think even our lot would go down that route and leave that as a live possibility, like I say it's odds against it happening, but it shouldn't be an option. I actually think Hearts will finally start to fall away and it'll be decided between Rangers and Celtic on the final day

Bluebear, I said if there was nothing riding on it I would want Rangers to lie down to stop that lot winning the league and Celtic would do exactly the same.
