Rangers banter 6

27 Apr 2026 12:43:12
Rohl had 2 weeks to prepare for that game yesterday and again got it wrong as he had to make 3 subs at halftime. Motherwell should have been 4 nil up after 45 min and again outclassed us by playing free flowing football. There are a number of Motherwell players who are better than what we've got and although they lost what 5 of their last 6 games they had a manager who schooled Rohl in that first half. I keep saying that our midfield has been wrong all season, I got a bit of flack by saying Chukwuani IMO is a journeyman he's very little flair and I've yet to see him really influence a game.

Meghoma is a wee boy lost, Aasgaard and Fernandez are too slow and even the dogs on the street know that Gassama can only be an impact player from the bench. It has been reported that Olsen is a loner, very low confidence and has fallen out of love with the game in what planet did our recruitment team think he's what we need. Isn't it a terrible indictment that even with all the money we've spent that we have to rely on an 18 year old boy on loan to give us a spark. Really down after watching that yesterday we've 3 away games from 4 and I don't think we'll win any of them.

27 Apr 2026 13:17:22
Even if you are right and I don't agree with all of it, if so many players are not good enough then that's not this manager's fault. Two of his signings were missing, and, to be honest, I'm not convinced that the Skov Olsen signing wasn't somebody else's call. For him not to be brought on, even when we were desperate, was quite telling.

Djiga, Meghoma, Aasgaard, Miovski and Gassama were just what we have come to expect, and even Sterling had a shocker. Praise only goes to big Chermiti, who was up for the fight all game and the first three subs. We had no threat from dead balls until the much maligned Tav came on.

27 Apr 2026 13:31:56
In fairness to Sterling, he was exposed in that 1st half, no cover to support him whatsoever. That was either Assgaard, Chukwuani, or tactics to blame.

27 Apr 2026 13:40:47
Wslgers, sure, a lot of the players are not DR's signings, but how many games recently have we started poorly? We were 2 nil down to Livingston, 2 nil down to Falkirk and 2 nil down to Motherwell. The manager has to take a degree of blame for these terrible starts.

27 Apr 2026 14:25:20
I criticised the loss of goals recently and was accused of being negative as we were still winning.
Giving away goals was always going to come back and bite us on the ar$e.

27 Apr 2026 14:48:43
Butland, Sterling, Djiga, Fernandes and Meghoma are all far too passive and want to play the game at their own tempo and on their own terms - they were probably more effective than Motherwell at disrupting our passing game.



Add to that, only 2 of our front 4 were effective in the press and Motherwell were gifted a lovely day in the afternoon sun.

Didn't see much of the second half, but the addition of Tav and Dio seemed to give us a bit of drive.

27 Apr 2026 15:18:26
Absolutely correct, EHL.

27 Apr 2026 15:22:08
I saw a lot of comments giving it to Djiga in the neck when Manny was just as bad as him yesterday. Strange one gets it and the other gets off scot-free.

27 Apr 2026 15:29:18
You sure did, Mph. We've lost 6 goals in the past 2 games, it's a huge worry. I don't believe for one second we will win our next 4.

27 Apr 2026 17:06:06
It's all about standards, BoyBlue.
Accepting losing 2+ goals a game because we are winning is a recipe for disaster.
We actually got back into this title race by being difficult to beat.

27 Apr 2026 18:09:24
Agreed, MPH, I have stated multiple times I wished for pragmatic, disciplined performances.

27 Apr 2026 18:14:11
Mph, we need to go back to being hard to beat. I still can't believe we played 2 CM only against Motherwell, who are well known for playing good football. Both were always going to the p ripped out of them, and that is on the manager, that one.

27 Apr 2026 12:22:19
Our former manager steven gerrard touted for the burnley manager's job, if they get rid of scott parker 🤔

27 Apr 2026 14:26:08
Here's hoping. 🙏

27 Apr 2026 14:56:40
Mph. 🤣

27 Apr 2026 15:14:28
What's funny about sharing football news/info, Aphelion. 🤔

27 Apr 2026 15:22:26
Mph comment made me laugh, SWS.
Surely you can see that my comment referred to MPH.

27 Apr 2026 16:25:57
Aphe it's obvious that your comment is for mph, a blind man can see that😂

27 Apr 2026 18:10:40
Thanks John, it appears SWS is determined to find fault in what I say. 🤣

27 Apr 2026 18:14:40
Coops, he wasn't laughing at you. He was laughing at Mph's comment.

27 Apr 2026 12:12:14
Not been on in a while - but what an end to the season this is going to be! it'll have all the emotions and adjectives. Not saying we're going to win but it's going to be one hell of a rollercoaster ride!

27 Apr 2026 12:22:30
Don't like rollercoasters, Ayebrox - especially scary ones like yesterday. 🤔😭😭😭

27 Apr 2026 12:05:03
Hopefully the manager is given the funds to put his own team on the park, he has taken this lot from no hopers to challenging, yesterday was an embarrassment, but that's down to several players once again not being able to handle the pressure of a title challenge, Aasgaard and gassma are two empty shirts, one bit of criticism was why did the manager drop Moore?

27 Apr 2026 12:12:56
Players you mentioned only got signed in the summer, so wouldn't have been under pressure at any other time playing for us.

27 Apr 2026 12:18:26
We couldn't get near the Motherwell midfield, especially the first half. ☹️ Their movement/awareness and speed of pass had our midfielders chasing shadows. ☹️ A lot of very good performances by Motherwell players, but for me in particular, I thought Elliot Watt was outstanding.

👌 I hope we sign him. 🙏 How does everyone else feel about Elliot Watt, ie. should we try and sign him or not? 🤔

27 Apr 2026 12:26:41
From what little I saw, I don't actually think the Motherwell midfield needed to do anything to find space.

Our CBs were so ponderous on the ball that Raskin was having to drop deeper and deeper to get on the ball, and Chukwuani doesn't seem to have any real positional sense at all.



Meanwhile, our front 4 were putting on a demonstration on how not to press.

27 Apr 2026 12:27:09
Sws, Watt would be my first signing of the summer window, mate. He made our centre mids look like junior players yesterday, until Diomande arrived.

27 Apr 2026 12:30:38
Heard so much praise for Elliott Watt, but for me Slattery has looked better in all games against us. Not saying I like or want him signed. Would rather we went for Just.

27 Apr 2026 12:40:23
I reckon it's time to get Barron on the park as well, Ehl. I like Chuck, but there is the look of a player still finding his feet at times.

27 Apr 2026 12:49:54
Chukwuani wouldn't have been in my side for the Falkirk game or yesterday, Barron in both teams.

27 Apr 2026 12:59:46
Nail, head Ehl!

27 Apr 2026 13:12:54
Agree, MVG. Slattery always impresses, he's all over the pitch, working his arse off.

That said, he needs to cut out the diving.

27 Apr 2026 13:15:01
Chukwuani went to Spain and forgot how to play football by the time he came back. He was anonymous yesterday.

27 Apr 2026 13:36:05
Ehl, can you elaborate on the point re the front 4 pressing incorrectly?

Interested to get your take.

The other points I can't disagree with.

27 Apr 2026 14:27:46
Barron was on the park when we conceded the 3rd. 🤷‍♂️

27 Apr 2026 14:41:08
We need to look at midfielders who can play a quick passing style. Dio and Chukwuani will struggle with the speed of it all.

27 Apr 2026 15:24:38
Mph, do you not get that Barron is the saviour? It was mentioned on live chat that Barron should go on because he would cover every blade of grass. Well, he failed to get back after his terrible cross yesterday which led to the Motherwell 3rd goals.

27 Apr 2026 15:41:52
I usually just ignore you, Strom, but you may need to watch back the highlights again. Barron didn't fail to get back. He was actually in our six yard box, covering the Motherwell forward when the ball hit the back of the net.

I think, from the brief analysis I caught, he actually 4 of our own players during the recovery run.

27 Apr 2026 15:59:12
But in players they don't rate, they will see things that didn't actually happen, Ehl.

27 Apr 2026 16:01:10
I was still looking for Miovski playing at the back of Chermiti against Falkirk last week, in highlights before the Motherwell game. That never happened either.

27 Apr 2026 17:08:12
Yip.
Plenty posted that if Barron plays, we win the league, Storm.

27 Apr 2026 11:48:51
I wonder if anyone notices what I was saying about Raskin now.

Playing safe for the world cup?

27 Apr 2026 12:18:51
No. Still don't see it. Got clobbered from behind in a tackle that would be a yellow card in most games, but not even a free kick. Put his body in a dangerous area to make sure of 2nd goal.

27 Apr 2026 12:27:01
Nope, still didn't notice it.

27 Apr 2026 13:29:47
Jesus wept 🤦‍♂️ like a dog with a bone. Nope, don't see it.

27 Apr 2026 13:39:23
I think sixteenninety is Russell Martin. 🤣

27 Apr 2026 13:47:14
Nobody sees your wee made up story other than you. Maybe your pals from the east end midden might agree.

27 Apr 2026 15:37:57
He's not a guaranteed pick. If he doesn't play well, he won't be in their team, so bit of a mad take on him. Clearly desperate for failure, so u can do told u so posts.

27 Apr 2026 16:22:38
Raskin is in a 2 man mf with a very underperforming Chuckwuani the now, so he'll be covering all Chickys mistakes and be aware of him not playing well, so he'll be trying to pay 2 positions on his own at times.



We really really do need a 3 man mf now with Dio and Barron ots screaming out for that, and if dr can't see that then I worry about him.

27 Apr 2026 11:55:35
My star i'd like nothing more for you to be correct. I'm not so sure you are being realistic. Come back and batter me if it happens and I'll hold my hands up.

27 Apr 2026 12:14:49
Why, Rab? We are very capable of beating both Celtic and Hearts.

27 Apr 2026 12:40:23
Yeah, mystar, we were capable of beating Celtic twice at Ibrox, in fact thrashing them with the predictions you had 4-0, I seem to remember you saying in each game, but we didn't. It was also an easy game yesterday according to you. Try keeping your powder dry for 5 minutes.

27 Apr 2026 12:54:25
Who said it was an easy game yesterday, like Boy Blue? No easy games remaining, so you don't go making things up, eh. I said Chermiti a double, a Miovski a goal, but never mentioned anything about any easy game.

Very capable of beating both Celtic and Hearts, or you saying we're not?

27 Apr 2026 13:03:10
Motherwell has proved our toughest games in the league this season, and I'm saying it's an easy game, stop making stuff up that is not true, Boy Blue, seems to have upset you in some way, but all good, man.

27 Apr 2026 13:30:49
3-1 was the prediction, BB4, but leave them to it as they just make themselves look silly in the end.

27 Apr 2026 13:43:12
Who was predicting 3-1 like Storm?
More nonsense once again, because not any scoreline was predicted from me, I only said a Chermiti double and Miovski, with our goals, would love you finding this 3-1 prediction, but you can't, because it never happened. 🤥

27 Apr 2026 13:45:54
Nothing will ever be as silly as throwing the towel in half a dozen times in the same season.

27 Apr 2026 13:47:53
Just predict us to get beat last 4 games mystar please. You've also said Celtic aren't a problem, or you aren't worried about celtic, you should be, they've won 14 of last 15 titles in case you haven't noticed. Some of your predictions are just ridiculous, yet your constantly telling people they know nothing about the game.

27 Apr 2026 14:34:47
You predicted us to score 3, imo that's you predicting an easy game unless you thought it was going to be 3 each, Mystar.

27 Apr 2026 14:40:07
Boy Blue, you've clearly got a problem with me. I'm very cool with that, but I can guarantee you one thing. I never said the Motherwell game would be easy, so stop talking nonsense, man.

27 Apr 2026 14:53:59
Like a couple of punters are happy we didn't get the result, so they can say, see.
Most would feel confident going into that game yesterday after 4 wins in a row. We scored 17 goals and conceded 6 in the four games. It would only be a fool thinking Motherwell would be an easy game, they've brought us our hardest games this season.

27 Apr 2026 15:53:21
Not got a problem with you at all, but your over confidence to the point of arrogance is astounding on here. Happy we didn't get a result? Listen to yourself, because your predictions are are back firing "again" season after season we have to listen to you about how easy it's going to be, 4nils here, 4 nils there 4nils all over the place. Then when you get pulled on it you hit out with things like, having a go at a Rangers fan after a bad result, or happy that we got beat, no just sick of reading about how awesome we are according to you, yet had one title in 15 years.

There's confidence then there's down right arrogance, you would think we have dominated Scottish football for past 15 year the way you go on. Your next Ludicrous prediction is over 3 goals at parkhead, let's see how that pans out. You predicted Rangers to score 3 goals against Motherwell, that is predicting an easy win imo, your entitled to yours.

27 Apr 2026 11:29:06
The moderators of the site were correct in 001's post the other day, the amount of back and forth sniping to determine that in any debate that the posters point is correct, then it's the defence and pursuit of pointscoring and one-upmanship as EHL alluded to along with exaggeration in his post earlier, it used be a joy to come on here, now it feels like a punishment akin to school lines, 001 was right some of the debates n " I must be right because my opinion is the only one that matters" attitude really does take the biscuit.

27 Apr 2026 12:20:27
Keep fighting the good fight fork. 🔱

27 Apr 2026 12:21:38
It's a real shame, so many good threads either get completely lost or completely side-tracked.

It'd make one hell of a drinking game to take a shot for every time Skov is mentioned in a thread that doesn't start with a debate about Skov. Damn it, need to drink a shot now!

27 Apr 2026 12:44:58
Hahaha, I've downed the whole bottle. I think it's important to highlight issues like Olsen when considering the full transfer strategy. We had a guy in Cerny who was here a full year and absolutely ripping it up on the pitch, and we don't take the chance.



Fair enough, if I don't see his name or have to hear about his confidence again etc, I don't need to reply. Hope the club, with the current board, learns big lessons. 👍

27 Apr 2026 12:54:30
Where was any player u mentioned in my post? They weren't. My post was in relation to 001's comments and EHL's previously about forum dynamics.

27 Apr 2026 13:08:41
Think it's just another example of that type of thing, Fork.

27 Apr 2026 13:22:02
No worries, but consensus from those and others was that Cerny wanted away.

27 Apr 2026 13:32:21
Aye, fair enough. We should've taken Shankland and Scott McKenna on free transfers as well. No brainer!

27 Apr 2026 16:23:26
Ehl, you mentioned him first there, mate, hahah you're shot haha.
