Butland doing cartwheels in the Ibrox dressing room.
Not at clawing back a point.
He's just heard the violent head booter Trusty is banned for next week.😎

MPH, I would rather Trusty played against us next week, mate, as he's gash. 👎
22 Feb 2026 19:00:22
It's scary how true what you said is.
22 Feb 2026 19:42:09
Same, SWS.
22 Feb 2026 17:44:55
Hope you're well Angus. As we have said we are either sky high or in the gutter. Bad result today but that mob have made it a better result than it was. Substitutions questionable but on another day we win this game 3 or 4 nil. Hated the ref today as he played it the way Livi wanted the game but can't blame him.
We are on a position to win this league but the big names need to start turning up but it's still there to be won. Good weekend for Hearts but to me a win for us next week gives is a good chance.

Why are you focusing on them when Hearts are now four points ahead of us?
I think people need to see, with games running out, that Hearts are in a strong position as they get over the line with most of the games they play.
Are people expecting Hearts to collapse? Well, they are not showing signs of that.
22 Feb 2026 18:23:14
If we don't win next weekend, then we are banking on Hearts dropping points.
22 Feb 2026 18:40:02
It was just one of those games. The team kept going, but should have won with plenty to spare.
Celtic dropping points lets us off the hook, and they are still the main rival for me. I think Hearts are giving it their all, but will run out of steam, they are getting injured players every week.
We win next week, and everything will be rosy again.
I am still bullish. We have the best squad, and are playing better than our rivals. I still think we are favourites, but next week is massive.
It's so exciting, and after so long, I am loving it. I just hope I don't have heart failure before the end of the season.
22 Feb 2026 18:50:08
Whoever loses the Old Firm game next week is in serious bother in the fight for the title, and I'm quietly confident we'll beat them. 🤔 Our problems are the so-called lesser teams, especially away from home.
🤔 I'm not at all worried about playing against Celtic or Hearts, and that's me being totally honest. 🤔 It's the stupid points we're capable of throwing away against the so-called lesser teams that honestly worry me more. 🤔
22 Feb 2026 19:45:14
Rosevale, read it. It's all about us and what we do.
22 Feb 2026 19:55:57
Those are the games that Hearts, up till today, were winning. Dropping points against those teams can cost you the title.
At this point in time, we don't look like a team that's capable of going on a run and winning it.
Your username used to say that the most important game is the one after a big game.
22 Feb 2026 20:56:04
Rosevale, I expected more from the players today. I feel, sometimes, they wait on things happening rather than making them happen. Why didn't they have that bit between their teeth after last week's result? It's like they feel they will get another chance.
We take care of ourselves, keep winning the next game, and then, till the end of the season, we win the league.
22 Feb 2026 21:14:28
That's your opinion, but I don't share it.
22 Feb 2026 17:34:25
We played well, but weren't clinical (partly to do with their keeper having the game of his career). A bad result - absolutely, but one of those games that happen, PLUS Celtic losing against Hibs pulls us out the mire a little. There's 4 points in it with 10 games to go, there's every chance of winning it. We might drop points again, but so will Hearts and so will celtic.
When we do lift that league title in May, I hope some of you take a good look at yourselves, grown men acting like spoiled brats. Some truly embarrassing messages on that live chat; not just about football.

i wonder if your post would be different if Celtic had won - just sayin is all
22 Feb 2026 18:06:31
Celtic dropping points is irrelevant to our plight.
We can't even take care of our own fixtures.
And after doing brilliantly to get it down from 13 to possibly 2, we keep on wasting the chance to close it further.
It's been 4/5 for ages.
No point blowing away Hearts last week when we then struggled to gain a point against the bottom side with 10 men.
22 Feb 2026 18:10:10
We played well, SouthBear? .Specsavers for me tomorrow.
22 Feb 2026 18:14:49
Well said, SB.
22 Feb 2026 18:19:10
I really don't see it with the players that we have, but I respect your opinion.
Games like today are a must-win if you're going for the league, and not a point gained.
I disagree with "we played well" also. We were far too slow moving it around in the first half, and defending was poor.
Yes, the keeper played well, but no excuses for me.
22 Feb 2026 19:35:15
It would have been the same if Celtic had won. The fact that they didn't just makes it better for us. We are not out of anything. We did play well, stats show that. If Prior hadn't been as good as he was, we would have won that game.
22 Feb 2026 20:14:08
I'm as disappointed as anyone with the result, but we have played worse and won. I thought we were going to win when we got the equaliser, but got over-anxious. After scoring two goals by going wide and finding players in the box, we went back to inswinging crosses from deep and cutting inside.
Poor decision-making too often, but we still made enough chances that would mean victory in most matches. I reckon 80 points wins the title, so little room for error now.
22 Feb 2026 20:38:41
We didn't play well.
End of.
22 Feb 2026 21:16:16
Bear, did Raskin not say after the Motherwell game there was no more room for error?
22 Feb 2026 17:23:58
Is there any chance we could cancel the extension to Souttar's deal? What a liability he is, I would be looking to get rid not sign him up for longer.

22 Feb 2026 17:41:22
He must cost us about 90 percent of the goals we concede.
22 Feb 2026 17:47:28
Gerrard will be manager by this time next year. Rohl's crown is slipping. Please don't say "wait till he gets his own players in".
22 Feb 2026 18:23:18
Whatsmyname. 😂😂😂 Deary dear is all I can say.
22 Feb 2026 18:27:58
Wait till he gets his own players in.
22 Feb 2026 18:30:25
No, he won't.
22 Feb 2026 18:49:29
What a nonsense, Whatsmyname.
Gerrard took 3 years. Turned Rangers down twice, if you believe the media and some posters on here.
He should never be given the opportunity again.
22 Feb 2026 18:51:56
Can't see it, Whatsmyname. 🤔 In Rohl we trust. 👍 🇬🇧
22 Feb 2026 19:14:30
Soutar, when going for a header, jumps like a salmon. He mistimes everything, total liability. To think we are paying him about 12k a week or more. Let's hope we do not make the same mistake with Tav. He has done great for us, but his time is up.
Raskin is definitely not captain material; he does not inspire those around him. Rohl's tactics are still questionable. Only time will tell. He is still learning as a coach. Maybe he needs an old head beside him, a bit like Archie Knox.
23 Feb 2026 00:03:32
Gerrard might be here in a year, but it would be more likely to take over from Broxi than Rohl.
22 Feb 2026 17:21:36
When Sutton says that not being a penalty is a shocker it tells you everything. View from behind the goal shows it clearly. Another VAR decision apology coming in mid week but that doesn't bring back the points.

22 Feb 2026 17:55:35
It didn't look like the initial contact was in the box. It looked just outside, and the ref didn't give a foul, so maybe that's why VAR couldn't intervene.
22 Feb 2026 18:01:33
If it wasn't a penalty it was certainly free kick and a second red
22 Feb 2026 18:08:04
Var cannot get involved once its shown its not a pen or last man
22 Feb 2026 18:09:44
100 never a penalty
22 Feb 2026 18:34:30
It literally stopped Moore from getting his shot away, so regardless of whether it's a free kick or penalty, it should have been reviewed, a red card given and a free kick or penalty awarded.
22 Feb 2026 19:03:37
VAR was correct and could do nothing about the ref not giving a foul.
22 Feb 2026 17:14:03
Looking at the tackle on Moore again I've no doubt that was just blatant cheating
Agree6
Disagree0
22 Feb 2026 18:09:56
If it wasn't a pen or free kick then surely Moore should have been booked for diving.
22 Feb 2026 17:11:33
Terrible. Embarrassing. Timid. Clueless.
Insert any adjective you see fit.
1 min 51 seconds on the clock and Tavs giving the ball away for the first time of the afternoon.
Minute later and Souttar fresh air swings at a ball.
30 seconds later Tav does the same.
And that set the tone for the afternoon.
Chermiti went from hero to zero in 7 days.
Gassama was rank rotten again.
Olsen - least said the better.
Dropped points at Hibs.
Dropped points against Motherwell who had 10 men.
And some spun these as positives.
Today we've now dropped points against 10 men bottom club Livi.
Can't wait for the happy clappers to spin this result.

22 Feb 2026 17:37:39
You're too harsh, Mph. That's football. It's not spin, just realistic for a team that was miles off it after 10 games. Get over the happy clapper stuff, it's insulting. I'm not applauding what happened, I'm understanding that it does happen.
22 Feb 2026 17:38:07
You really are a bad tempered wee spud aren't you. Every time there is a poor result you immediately attack other posters. Get some anger therapy.
22 Feb 2026 17:42:17
Olsen costs us 36k euros a week and a million euro loan fee for 5 months. He's not worth it in my opinion. Bajrami looks better than both Gassama and Olsen. Souttar didn't look fit today. Chermiti, well, 5 goals in 2 games is good, but 2 goals in the other 28 games is a joke.
Chucky did ok, but nowhere near good enough. We dropped 2 points, but got 1 more than Celtic. Celtic have the hardest fixtures coming up. Hearts do look likely for the league. Let's see what happens.
22 Feb 2026 17:53:05
All the told u sos will be quiet again, Mph.
22 Feb 2026 17:56:12
Tav is our captain, leader. He should not play for us again. His decision making is horrendous. He is meant to set the standards, appalling.
22 Feb 2026 17:56:51
Happy clappers rips me up Mph, let's all talk utter crap about our club, Rangers should have won that game today, we never, end of story, three points needed against Celtic, be very surprised if the towel isn't thrown in by many once again.
22 Feb 2026 18:00:21
Hundred percent correct JFM.
22 Feb 2026 18:00:24
There isn't a positive for me dropping two points against the bottom team in the league, we were punished for bad defending even though both finishes were great.
I've said many times that the defence and other areas of the team lack experience and concentration and it showed again today.
We were really slow in the first half and that was the start of it.
Again I think it will be next season before we can realistically challenge as we are still short of around four or five first team starters, to begin two centre half's and a right back.
22 Feb 2026 18:01:40
Pot - Kettle - Black, ironically JFM🤭
22 Feb 2026 18:14:10
Can't wait for the doom and gloom loyal to say the league is over again.
Lots are saying it was a terrible performance. I thought we played well apart from conceding 2 goals. Livi barely had a sniff all game outside their two chances, and we created enough chances to win comfortably.
There were some individual performances that weren't great, and, obviously, the result was poor against the bottom of the league. It was a chance to put space between us and Celtic, and we blew it. Our away form hasn't been good enough recently, and Rohl needs to fix that.
22 Feb 2026 18:19:46
Not at all, Kaiser. Results like this can happen.
We deserved nothing but got a draw.
22 Feb 2026 19:05:55
Give your head a shake MPH
22 Feb 2026 19:22:29
We had many opportunities to win that game today. Livingston keeper had a top game.
22 Feb 2026 19:22:55
How does that apply, MPH? I commented on your post. I haven't attacked anybody because we dropped points. You do it every time we play poorly.
22 Feb 2026 19:58:34
You don't need to make stuff up to have an opinion, JFM.👍
Show me where I've attacked people after the Hibs, Motherwell results?
Wouldn't like to be hanging by the baws waiting on you, though.
22 Feb 2026 17:09:28
To win leagues u must be beating the worse team in the division. Credit to pull 2 goals back and I.ll say it now var either are bottlers or corrupt others can decide
Agree5

22 Feb 2026 18:05:24
Agree! We were absolutely shocking for 70 minutes of the game. A huge amount of credit needs to go to Danny and the squad to get us back to where we are. However, 6 points dropped in our last 4 games along with so many draws at the start of the season is what could cost us a title we were back in.
22 Feb 2026 18:10:17
Looking again at var it wasn't a pen but i'd argue last man so a sending off but I don't think its cheating but the ref should be making the decision for a feee kick and not need var
22 Feb 2026 18:34:28
It's unfair to ask players to keep bailing out the usual culprits whose lack of basic ability cost us goals. Two goals were conceded from needless free kicks, both of which came from Souttar being lazy or sloppy. The second was even worse because our RB didn't pick up the scorer of the second goal. There are too many of these players who will struggle when the pressure is really on.
Fortunately, that mob is not firing on all cylinders, but they're still only two points behind us with a game in hand. Yet again, things are not in our own hands, so we must beat them next week as the Sheep will get pumped at Tynecastle as usual.
22 Feb 2026 19:00:53
Walter, shift it anyway you can. Corrupt bottlers, Tims, Tic season ticket holders. After VAR intervened and looked at it, the foul was outside the box. The referee blew it big time by ignoring the foul. It's either a foul or a goal scoring opportunity, so yellow or red. Make up your own minds; mine is gso, so red.
22 Feb 2026 19:17:15
One Walter, what did VAR do wrong?
22 Feb 2026 17:04:32
3 draws in our last 3 away games just not good enough. Far to slow in the build up. Bajrami needs to play instead of Gassama and Dio needs to play for chukwuani. Olsen also giving very little for the team. Handy Tims losing today. Were hanging on by a thread here. Next sunday is a must win
Agree7

22 Feb 2026 17:35:50
I think Dio instead of Raskin gives a bit more balance. To me, Chuk and Nico are quite similar players, I think we miss a bit of the creativity Dio has when he's not playing.
22 Feb 2026 17:52:35
Absolutely spot on, Paul.
22 Feb 2026 18:15:26
Gassama is just a no for me. Dio should've been on at h-t. Raskin plays better with Dio.
22 Feb 2026 18:30:03
Mph, I know. 😂👍
22 Feb 2026 19:24:49
Next Sunday was always a must win regardless of today's results.
