At least we didnt lose, but the overall feeling is just shambolic

James Mcgill

Davies is so poor Never Rangers quality.

Tamus

Hey board we need a goal scorer Hey fans, "f**k off"

Robert White

That's the poorest team since 82-83. The recent managers have signed such low quality at such high cost they have screwed the club.

Fraser86

Souttar was the Hearts captain, to say he isn't a leader is not true imo, Davies needs sold strange buy especially for the price at the time, Dessers shows why he's dessers, nothing ok the wings even the new boy didn't look too hot,

Rona Bluebell

There is a fear in the team. You can sense it. Hoping new signings bring some steel

Gregg

It was a difficult chance for dessers - if he couldn’t take it on the drop it might have been better to try and head it as it bounced up. All ifs and buts

Jamie Kerr

Starting line up filled me with dread and the actual match done nothing to lift that. Majority of those players have been there a while and yes they're not good enough, but the system and style of play are non existent. Clements message not getting across?

Russell McGhee

I'm not seeing it with Clement. That's not a reaction to today's 90 mins but to the last 9 months. He can't change a game and his persistence in playing a 10 when we patently don't have the personnel to do so is worrying. We're wide open everytime we lose possession. The problem is he's virtually unsackable now. We can't be champions with him in charge I'm afraid.

Stuart Fleming

If Cortes is out injured for a while would it be worthwhile playing Jefte further forward? Got to be a better option than the useless Matondo

Gregg

Mattondos feet go too fast for his brain - but like sakala with less end product. Very frustrating to watch - not sure anyone could get him performing consistently

Gregg

We signed quite a few players who’d been captains when PLG was in charge - none of them were leaders either.

Doogz

It’s one thing doing it at Hearts and another thing doing it at Rangers, Souttar has been bang average ever since coming in.

Luke

Transfer activity is going far too slow for my liking. Need to hurry up and offload some of the duds in and around the squad. We should have been looking to sell some of these players seasons ago and now it’s being condensed into one window. The more players that leave this summer, the more optimistic I will be for the future. I don’t even care what happens this season, I’ll be happy as long as the squad is comprised of new faces. Truly at my wits end every time the team sheet comes out.

It worries me that clement persists with davies when hes useless in our league, he got out muscled from vargas ffs. Also u cant keep playing tav when hes as bad as hes been lately. If sterling is not fit then balogun should be right back if propper comes in for Tuesday

Russ

Apologies if this is a toxic shout but I thought Cortés just didn't want to know against his full back tbh. He's probably out for months now I've said that but it was really innocuous.

CGG

Hard to disagree with that summary David, Davies, Wright and Matondo were terrible , positives..Barron, and I went back to the beach after the game 😎🇬🇧🇪🇸

Fraser86

It's a bit harsh Davie. Guys an international player really giid pedigree through the youths, hampered by injuries for sure, I think soutter is OK for us, Davies on the hand is not, that should be the focus, shutter will look like a million dollars will proper 😉

Andrew McManus

Back line relatively solid, but will be punished against better strikers. Can’t decide whether my opinion on Tav is subject to confirmation bias, but the rest of that back line lacks a leader. Midfield ok but lacking real flair and takes too many touches, any time we break there’s a lack of commitment to shoot or take a man on. Pace isn’t an issue, physicality may be and we’re either not getting the break of the ball or just playing passes that are too tight. Up top…Dressers! What can I say, if we had a multi-ball option in the box, I’m not sure he’d score. Got what I expected and unless I’m wrong we’ll be 2pts behind after Game 1. Strap in.

Gregg

An international player 😂😂 Jesus. So is Anthony Ralston. He’s fine - back up ideally.

Andrew McManus

Connor Barron had a good Lge debut, JB looked solid, TL had moments. Definitely not all shit, but there’s a fair whiff of excrement at the moment across key parts of the team.

Andrew McManus

I also wish Kris Boyd would STFU, I might not like Sutton but he had some decent points today and KB just trundled out the same soundbytes and avoided being clinical in favour of just being critical.

Craig Murray

We have no shape , no organisation, I just don’t see anything different under the current manager, we are abysmal to watch.

Gregg

They are both absolutes bores - we deserve better than there talksport style pish

East Enclosure

Don’t you think the extension, constant talk of long term / developing & the managers comments pre match that ‘we have an enemy with much more money’ etc etc is the board digging in for a couple of barren seasons, so they can stave off negative reaction by placating us that it’s all a long term plan ?

Paul Kerr

Everything appears a bit haphazard right now, hoping Propper brings some stability and players can relax a bit.

Baz

Hardly surprising that the game today played out like it did, the players look like they are playing with no game plan whatsoever, far to many players wearing the Rangers jersey that are simply not fit for purpose or bring any quality to the table. The captain brings zero leadership and needs to be replaced immediately. Bottom line is unless we bring in better quality players we will struggle all season.

Graeme Guthrie

i'm not sure Ben Davies is suited to football full stop.

Fraser86

Lots of international players to compare with not just ralston 😘

Gary Shaw

Matondo scoring that goal against the tims is the worse thing that could have happened to him….tries it about 20x a game….infuriating and he also plays the game like it’s all a laugh….drives me nuts 😡

John Breen

Please no more Tav. Get broxi to get his boots on

Billy McCormack

Barron our best player who was part of a shite sheep team last season, that says it all about us.

Billy Forrester

We weren’t very good but we weren’t very bad either. I think it’s hard to judge on first game of season, if it is like that in a month I will be very worried but we will have a different look in a month player and starter wise. Main takes for me are that we desperately need a clinical striker, Matondo is utter donkey shite, Tav looks well past it, wright is just wright and we need to sell him for a pound. I’m not getting over excited after game 1 and think we will improve. Positives were Barron, like the look of Cerny, Cortes is good and will be huge when fully fit. Not as bad a performance as I thought after watching them pre season where we were just god awful Keep the faith, early days. WATP

Stace1ofthePeople

No sima, no mccausland? Was he on the bench? Sterlin not fit, raskin injured, no cantwell... at this moment and time we are worse off relying on an unfit cortes, matondo dessers and Wright we were never gonna win that game were we? A positive to take away is that was definitely not us at our strongest and we should get better with time and players... you would think?

Alan Cowan

David At the next presser, could you ask TinTin the whereabouts of the Moroccan lad and Zak Lovelace. Do we have to call Police Scotland and report 2 people missing? Wonder how you'd feel at your work if the boss said Apart from him, the rest of you can leave, even if you're just in the door and paid £4m for you, or you're Scott Wright or Mattondo and been getting a wage for very little. Horrible stupid statement from a severely under pressure manager, who maybe well out of his depth. Glasgow pressure cooker has got to better than Clement

Derek Stevenson

5 or 6 of the team are definite non Rangers starters. And the jury is out on 3 or 4. It’s a desperate situation I fear, it’s a massive rebuild with limited funds. Will we improve? Yes. Can we win the league? No, unless that mob implode somehow.

Derek Stevenson

Not 10. Definitely in need of another five starters, that will spread into January & maybe summer 2025

Adam Copeland

At least none of us had much hope for the season anyway. It just felt a bit like the norm today. Killie first game last year I was fuming. I had expectations. Zero expectations this season. Zero stress watching Rangers this season.

Liam Johnson

Funny how as soon as Cerny came on Tav turned into a right winger and pushed Cerny inside 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

Stace1ofthePeople

Yeah I know 🤣 but I'm just highlighting how much of a miss he is. Hopefully we can get him signed 🙏

Martin Sutherland

I get grief on and offline for this but the manager isn’t it. Doesn’t matter who we sign, we won’t do anything with his methods.

Paul

A lot of blind faith is going around mate. Your eyes don't lie. I see it as well.
