John Smith

Belgium, a country invented to annoy the French

Jim Milne

One person from that country is annoying the F out of me. He just doesn't learn, adapt and experiment from tactics and formations that fail.

Stewart Robertson

Being a Bear used to be fun. I want the fun back.

Alan Weir

Dessers not “off form”, not short of confidence and not a goal away from getting back to his best. Dessers is rubbish, and the fact that Clement didn’t use the two week international break to get Danilo or Igamane ready for a start suggests he needs chased as well.

Hoggy

I thought we were really good for about 25 minutes in the second half. And that is in spite of the manager. Time is up.

William Black

We just don’t have any identity anymore, I cannot remember ever feeling this way towards Rangers in the past 25+ years. I can imagine what it was like when we were coming 4th but all the old yins ever tell you is “we fought like f*** for eachother, we were together, we knew it would turn around, this is different”. Is this different, is this worse? I’m genuinely asking here.

Steven Harvey

He should have been bagged immediately after Parkhead. He has consistently shown that he doesn’t have the ability to learn from mistakes. He’s getting out-coached by SPFL level managers week on week and his budget dwarfs the other 10 teams which he was so quick to point to v Lyon! Utter fan-Dan 🤮😡

Rona Bluebell

I feel nothing. That’s how bad it is. Can’t even muster disappointment.

Jim Milne

IMO we fired Gio & Beale for less, and Clement has been backed by enough money that it should be better than it is. I didn't expect a 100% win ratio this season, I expected transition but also expected effort and a manager who adapts and learns from experience. Clement needs to go, and go immediately.

David Angus

Mate I was thinking exactly the same today. I now just feel emotionless and not much difference whether we score or concede I actually analyse it rather than show much emotion. I'm 38 so saw a mixed bag and this is the first season this has ever happened.

Ally Mair

SAME …SHITE…..AGAIN….. we are blindly clusterfucking our way to a absolute tonking in the cup final , I can’t listen to clement anymore he will still be spouting the new team pish after he sends tav out to face maeda in a month , get him bagged

David Angus

How long have the fans said persisting with Tav and Dithers would get him the Ruud Gullit. We were better in second half but couldn't be any worse simply cos we didn't have a 13 year old in the #10 and a statue up top.

maccalsa

Yeah let's get over this sport science nonesence. Let's get back to a third of the squad injured, then we complain about how behind the times we are and should embrace sports science like other clubs

Jim Milne

I understand what you're saying mate, but would any other SPFL manager have dropped Jefte against Aberdeen because of "sports science"? I completely agree we've mismanaged injuries, signed injury prone players, burned players like Tav out before we should have. However I'd argue that the way Clement uses Sports Science borders on levels above apprehension. Just like his tactics, formations and ability to learn it's all way to safe and sees it different from the masses.

Rona Bluebell

It’s difficult to say. I can remember the whole stadium rising as one and leaving to go outside and protest after a defeat under John Greig. My dad was furious. It felt less tolerated than this.

chris smith

End of days stuff. Absolutely disgraceful.

David P

Saddest thing for me personally is I've already mentally checked out of this season a long time ago. We're a rudderless ship from top to bottom and I find it very difficult to be emotionally invested, not just in a team that isn't at the level required but in a club that isn't set up for success. Simply just sacking the manager won't fix this and that's what scares me the most. The people in charge of the club don't have the ability to run it. Koppen smacks of a guy that won't nor should be here long. Yet we've just given him a promotion 🙄 we're a shambles.

Alan Weir

I don’t know if it’s sports science to blame, but getting Danilo and Igamane ready to start a game seems to be a task beyond Clement. It simply shouldn’t take this long to get players “match fit”, especially when the matches are against the dross that is the SPL .

maccalsa

I think Clement has been backed well enough now, there has been a lot of awful signings, but I think we should stop buying £4-5 million duds that nobody wants, not even the clubs who already have them!!. If you buy a player with that fee, he has to be a success, there's a huge down side. If you think about it some of our best signings have been for free or small transfer fees. With players at that level a player can fail and we can just move him on if it's 300-400K, but all you need is one of those players to pop big time, and we have a star on our hands, a career going upwards not stagnating or going backwards. Someone that bigger clubs than us want. This all comes down to recruitment now. Which is difficult given the market we are in Anyway, this is the first time I think Clement is not the answer, no idea who would be or would want to come. It's all a mess again

Bob MacCallum

" Stevie Wonder could see that" - brilliant. Even funnier than Dessers.

Angus MacDonald

Horrendous, it’s done! Fear we have absolutely blown 12 million on Bajrami, Cortes and Diomande. Also and I appreciate we have bigger worries but the standard of commentary on RTV dear me! He said we played with intensity and intent before he said if it were a boxing match Dundee U would’ve thrown in the towel ! FFS

Bob MacCallum

In SJ Rear at halftime near exit stairs where kiosks are and HUNDREDS were asking to be let out. Says it all.

David Kiltie

Clement is rightly taking a lot of criticism, but there are correct decisions for which managers receive no credit since the benefits are counterfactual. A player being substituted can frustrate supporters but you don’t know had he stayed on the pitch would he have broken down with injury or a tired tackle would have lead to a second yellow or a penalty. Remember Clement took flak for not hooking Jefte at half time against Dinamo Kyiv. Recall the binfire against Slavia Prague in March 2021 - Gerrard’s failure to substitute Balogun when he was on a yellow hit hard. If you remember our club’s horrendous record with injuries, going back decades, then if any club should be observant of sports science then it’s Rangers.

Stace1ofthePeople

Well and truly done, won't be watching or attending until clement is away. Proper brain damage stuff to watch and listen too. I also agree I didn't expect us to be perfect and win every single game but we are going backwards its frightening to watch.

mark wyper

Kev is absolutely spot on with his summation.

David

Clement should go but hard to have faith in this board to get the right man

mark wyper

We need to get a new manager in now hopefully get that new manager bounce before the cup final or else we're looking at a chasing.

David Innes

I think it has to be a caretaker appointment until the end of the season. Struggling to think who it could be though

Chris Graham 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We cannot go on like this . It’s appalling Even in games we win it’s torturous toil till the final whistle Not one of us at 0-1 today thought we could get back to 2-1 We also need to stop playing make BELIVE fairy land with these players Our standards as a support now praise and get wet knickers at bog standard squad players like Barron ( no slight on the lad he is doing his best ) but if that’s the bench mark then fuck me we need get our heads out our anal pipes The question should always be forever and a day Would he , him and that wan get in the Celtic side If the answer is no then WHY THE FUCK ARE WE PRETENDING ITS OK FOR US ?????? It just isn’t and never should be Wur a team eh squad player From a title winning side to Seville to this level is an unforgivable stewardship under this board and Investors ( loan sharks ) of doh heeds and bus drivers We are the worst run club I can honestly think of all over Britain a precious sleeping giant ran like a darts club in the mid 80s Appalling The manager is taking us into darkness and the players bog standard as they at the very least should be among Aberdeen or above in a 2 horse race now a solo run for 1 club I wish I had a fancier word than shambles Mr Edgar probably know one David ?

Jim McCutcheon

We were poor again something we have been aware of for a long time now 🤷‍♂️ , how long does this shit show continue but then again we have a skeleton staff on the board as well so this is a massive job to turn around where would you start ? , thanks guys

James Cameron

Rangers FC have become unrecognisable from the time I grew up our standards have fallen so far. That no team now come to Ibrox and fear us. Was never expecting us to win when I seen the starting XI today. That is where I am at the moment just past caring about this team. Matches against Spurs and that lot in the Cup Final I am not even going to watch. If the board, the management and the players don't seem to care why should I. All eyes will be on the manager, when they should be on our custodians who do not have a clue how to run a football club. A DOF with experience was needed who did we pick a head scout we aready have who has no experience as DOF, A new chairman reportedly coming in guess what he has no experience. Still no CEO after our previous CEO left in April/May. Since this board came to power and we came back to the top league we have won the total of 3 trophies. 1 league, 1 Scottish Cup and 1 League Cup. Is this the Rangers we grew up with no. Looking back at our previous history I have been looking at the excellent videos on youtube by Rangers Archives during the international break. Looking at the early 80s a board in disarray a team on the park that was not good enough. Does this sound familiar Then we were fortunate enough with David Holmes who with great leadership turned our fortunes around appointed a real leader in Graeme Souness. I may sound like l live in past glories but where we are right now as a club is right back where we were pre Holmes and Souness. How does this change for us we need a leader and visionary in the boardroom. We also need a manager who commands respect in the dressing room that won't execept second best or you won't be playing for us again. Is there a CEO with vision and leadership out there? Is there a manager out there that commands respect in the dressing room? I do not know the answer to this people like Holmes and Souness don't grow on trees. Our current custodians have the tenedency of getting the big appointments wrong. I urge the current custodians of the club to look back at history look at the appointment of Holmes find someone out there with the same attributes. Final message to the custodians of the club keep this failure going on and your going to end up with the exactly same legacy of the Whites and Desmonds across the road and we all know how despised they were by their own support.

Vanb bryceter

This is much worse believe me.There is no heart or fight anywhere from the incompetent board to the pussies on the park. We need a right bastard of a manager to kettle this team and get some bears into the side

mark wyper

You know within 10 mins the game we're gonna get and once again we got it today that's why I needed up in the Louden today .

Alan Baxter

What about Barry Ferguson and Kevin Thomson till the summer. Just anyone with passion that the crowd knows gives a toss. They might not be any good but at least they will give us a something till summer and then we start again

Jim Milne

It'll be just as hard to get a decent manager when we have no backroom staff. Do we even have enough staff to conduct interviews? Takes 6 months for a CEO, how long for a manager?

James

Dessers we have talked to death about. I’m not sure Igamane will ever be anything for us I’m afraid. I was worried at the length of time it took to play him, I’m beginning to see why. I do agree that a change is needed but we need change at every level. Is Potter interested? A British manager might have a quick ramp up time.

David Innes

Butland is the only player that gets in their team. I don’t think anyone else even gets in their squad (maybe Souttar at a push). Aberdeen have a better team than us this season - that’s the reality of the situation.

Maca82

In a rare glass half full post I think the team has to be substantially better than this. We are just dreadfully coached and structured combined with a manager who hasn’t understood the nuances of our league and talks increasingly like a mad man after matches. That said Dessers and Propper wouldn’t get a game for Johnstone Burgh!

Graeme Glennie

There will be no change without anger from the stands and some kind of fanbased movement. If people want the club to act like a serious institution. This is your only road out of this shambles.

Ryan Stewart

Didn’t get angry when Dundee Utd scored, didn’t celebrate when we scored, didn’t get angry at full time. Sums up where I am with this football club really, completely disillusioned, and with no hope that there’s any sort of improvement on the horizon. Absolutely no idea where we are going as a football club, a rudderless shambles without a plan, on and off the pitch

Gary Shaw

Don’t worry we’ll get a poxy point in Europe against some mediocre deadbeats and the usual “we’re suited to Europe “ pish will be spouted…..We’re hopeless and we have a hopeless manager with hopeless people attempting to run the club….We’re as tinpot as it comes.

CJT

Agree with so much of this but in the 80s we bought our way out of it. FFP means even if someone gave us the money we couldn’t spend it. This is long-haul stuff but starts with strong, competent characters and high standards.

David Innes

I still think Diomande is a good player - our manager just doesn’t have a clue how to use him

CJT

Exactly, everyone knows it including the players but those who could change or can’t/won’t act.

John Jamieson

The club keeps him to the cup final no one will be in the stands to watch for us. this club is leaderless from top to bottom manager is as clueless as Pedro and he should be gone tonight but he won’t be

Gary Shaw

Enough of this talk that Dessers is a trier ….anyone who knows football knows when someone is hiding….Dessers is the definition of “a hider”…..lazy attempted runs,challenges and wants to be as far away from the ball as possible….in terms of minutes played he is without question the worst centre forward I’ve seen at Ibrox in my 41yrs ….truly pathetic excuse of a footballer

Jim Milne

Remember though, Clement told us next year we could afford Igamane. I fail to see how he is any better than Zak Lovelace.

maccalsa

I'd say he is way to cautious with players returning from injury, but to be fair on him our squad is so paper thin I can understand him thinking if Jefte is not 100% and gets really injured we've lost an important 1st teamer, in a period where he must know his job is on the line

maccalsa

Even if we didn't have FFP we'd still be targeting £4-5 million pound players. In the 80s and 90s you'd be getting world class players for that amount. Why standard have fallen isn't rocket science mate

Alan Spiden

Rangers have ruined yet another weekend. This is absolutely beyond a joke, and early 80’s nonsense. I’d love to be more eloquent, however all I have is…aaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhh!

Doogz

Hope with news tonight of the new chairman and CEO major moves are afoot, identify a new manager and get this clown gone. Dessers has come in for plenty criticism during his time, some of it over the top, but mostly justified, today I witnessed a number 9 who decided to dial it in, total non trier.

Ally Mair

Anybody on here fancy taking on the Tim’s on the 15th at hampden , I’m looking to put together a team I wouldn’t normally ask but it’s just that the current manager won’t be able to so I’m trying to help him out ….

maccalsa

We won't be able to afford Potter, think you are aiming too high sadly

maccalsa

We need diomande to be a good player. He's cost us so much it must have been assumed we'd have him a few years then send him to the premiership for a tidy profit.. not seeing that happen any time soon He looks a good player, until you realise the game is actually passing him by. Bajrami.... I mean that's a big outlay for us, and to be fair he looks like what he is, a serie B player.

Slubbs

I feel sorry for the fans at Ibrox watching that shite.You could'nt pay to put up with that crap.He needs to go.

John Palmer

We're a Mediocre Team, Run by a Shambles of a Board, Managed by a Gormless Gaffer who has Mediocre Players. Clement is finished for Me and so is the Entire Playing Squad, they're All Shit. We'll be God Damn lucky to finish top Six let alone 3rd 🤮. Complete and Utter Joke of a Club. I feel nothing but Anger for the Team I love who have been a complete disgrace for the past 15yrs. Flashes of Brilliance isn't good enough for Glasgow Rangers Football Club.

John Palmer

Managers I'd consider right now would be Muscat or Gattusso - Both Hard Players and Managers. These are the type of Gaffer we need at the Helm. Nobody else I know out there that could do something

Alan Weir

It’s an indictment of Clement that Diomande looks a worse player than when he started with us.

Chris Graham 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My feelings on the managment position GLASGOW RANGERS FC should always have a British/Scottish based manager We are a unique club that these foreigners do not understand when they come in and spend all there time running away from our identity and culture I.e no nonsense passion a bit of heart and steel , some guts Look at the evidence No foreign manager has ever succeeded and out with advocate he spent fucking millions had internationals in every position We have no identity because we run away from everything that makes us Rangers Gerrard got it because he knows the passion of the British football fan and the same big club mentality with his Liverpool upbringing it’s a unique environment We have to remove this manager ffs it’s shambolic

Scott Stewart

No tav ? Who’s getting the blame today ? Our Cb simply aren’t good enough. Infact the spine of our team isn’t good enough from Cb, cm , cf! Major problems ahead.

Colin Gardner

Diomande is an imposter. Through the fury yesterday I watched him deliberately move behind a DU player so as not to receive a pass. No wonder Raskin was going tonto and just when you think that big donkey Dessers can't get any worse he surpasses himself with one of the weakest,half arsed kidding performance ever. Get these 2 to fuck out our club along with the doughball in the dugout.How many times have you ever seen a manager change a team at half time as much us us. He is fukin clueless and how we were ever sucked in by him is laughable!

Bryan Watson

Hes got to go but don't feel that changes anything really because our problems are systemic. True indication of how in the mud we are is seeing that 4th /5th placed Motherwell got beat and thinking thats a good result for us. Thats rank. Felt like an absolute mug at HT for going to watch that, felt like I was getting the piss ripped out of me and from folk around me + group chats etc that feeling was mutual. Its so so bad and like Andy said on Twitter its only going to get worse. 2nd half was better and we shoulda won it but those moments of "awh thats actually pretty decent" are so fleeting this season. We weren't even good in 2nd half either yet its best Ive seen us domestically in months.

Michael

The money koppen and clement have spent on diomande,cortes, igamane and propper is as bad as anything that was signed under beale. This nonsense about diomande needing a better system is just lies, he is a passenger. Physically too weak and offers nothing in the final 3rd.

Steve Clark

Our supports protest as it always has been will be to stay away,quite clear from watching on rtv a good few thousand left at half-time.

Marky Philpott

The silence from Ibrox is deafening... they are fucking cowards!!! He needs to go.. its that simple!!

Greg McEwen

I’m trying to reconcile a lot of things which I’m seeing with my own eyes We don’t look coached. But some players look like we have coached the dynamism out of their play Our “system” is entirely predictable. But our starting eleven and subs experience is often a wild ride

Martin Davies

There's no anger anymore. Everyone is just waiting on the inevitable now at this stage. How far behind do we need to fall this time before pulling the trigger? 15 pts? 20pts?

Spoon

Respect others may want to focus on individuals but the issues for me are managerial and system focused. This doesn’t work, we are slow and the manager seems to refuse to accept one man up front alone in Scotland does not work, defences are big and organised, crosses need to be pinpoint or delivered quickly or it’s ineffective. Any number 9 struggles in this set up. Players openly now talk about the managers messages not being implemented, he has become the Belgian Beale.

David Innes

The board will be looking for any excuse to keep him in post - they probably see it as progress that we got 1 point back on Aberdeen yesterday

Thomas Blair

I walked out after 22 minutes. Don’t want to see him in the dugout on Thursday

Roddy Wylie

Danilo is not the answer he is awful a truly terrible finisher. As for Dessers he was awful but we provide zero service for him to miss. It was an abysmal performance first half. Robin Propper is awful also, never drives forward and can’t use his left foot. What a mess

Gary Shaw

Go on about structure and set up all day which is definitely a major problem btw but we have too many players who just can’t do the simplest of things required to be even a half decent footballer….a shit midfielder or defender can just about get away with it with a better players beside them but we have a centre forward who literally has NO attributes at all….Hes not a willing runner,he can’t harass defenders,he can’t run,he can’t hold it up,he can’t lay it off,he’s not a good finisher,he complains whenever anyone has the audacity to be within a yard of him….Play him upfront himself or with 1,2 or 3 with him ,he’ll still be an awful footballer and a hider….I’ll reiterate,they’re all terrible but when the focal point of your team has a centre forward as bad as Dessers then you don’t have a chance in hell in games and the fact he’s been our “main man” for 2 seasons is absolute woeful management/recruitment…

Gary Shaw

I said that to my mate yesterday half joking then I realised how tinpot we are and now that I think about it,it wouldn’t surprise me if that was their thinking

Martin Davies

No Rangers manager can survive being uncompetitive domestically. Factor in the truly awful football we are subjected to, the same mistakes by the manager and players repeated over and over again, round pegs in square holes, no sign of improvement, absolutely shite in both boxes, totally clueless at set pieces, no youth being bloodied, etc. There are no excuses for Clement. My brother has been a huge fan of Clement but yesterday he said it looks like he's trying to get fired with his insistence on Dessers, the formation, etc.

Colin Gardner

You see it, I see it and anyone with a basic knowledge of football can see it except him in the dugout. This he's a nice guy and don't give him a hard time as he has mental issues. Get that so far to fuck. He's payed a salary all of us inly dream about so take the criticism. That fuckwit Beale must have got a backhander signing him. Incredible he is still at our club.

LMcGrath

I actually didn't even feel anything yesterday with the result. I'm just done with it, can't take any more of this shit. And living with a delighted celtic fan as a husband is just the cherry on top of the cake.

Andrew Meldrum

I wondered if the Koppen promotion was a sign we had a CEO or chairman incoming, who had given the nod. I now wonder if the news coming last night was a necessary precursor to the inevitable sacking in the dugout. It's so inevitable I don't want to waste time explaining all the reasons why. My 17 year old son said during injury time 'I don't know if I want us to score. I'd rather get Clement out. I want to enjoy watching Rangers and I can't remember when I did that last'. I think that's all I need to say. I'd rather talk about who comes next. I get the caretaker argument, with caveats. 3 examples. Warnock at Aberdeen, Murty and McCall with us. Early days at Aberdeen, but all 3 got the required results next season - a new manager came in and with no baggage or emotional connection to existing players already there, radically changed the squad and mindset. But if those 3, only McCall saw the season out. And McCall almost delivered the jackpot, and the headache of 'do we keep this guy on?'. Are we willing to write the season off? And what do we do if our caretaker delivers 2 cups, takes 7 from 9 off Celtic in the league and we reach quarter finals of Europa league? Don't say it doesn't happen - look at what Clement did in his first 6 months? After we beat Hearts 5-0, I thought we were winning the league.

Gary Shaw

I was going for a bit more of a measured take on it but that’s fair enough 😂

Simon Lewandowski

ive been saying this for months now....this is what we are now...a team fighting to be second with the possibility of winning a cup each season.a new manager wont change this(i want him gone im not saying he should stay)we need a complete overhaul from top to bottom. we also need investment.. a major investment or this cycle of buying mediocre players to fail every season wont end

Spoon

Not disagreeing bud but we also need to spend what we have and use the assets at our disposal far far better.

Robert White

Has to be McInnes. Anyone saying he wouldn't get a better structure and results with this squad of mental weaklings is deluded. We need our identity or we will lose thousands more fans

William Noble

I’m sick of listening to the same old stuff from the gaffers press conferences, it’s total garbage

David Kiltie

Another depressing day for us. A few comments about the team selection. Clement has been criticized for being slavishly loyal to Tav. He cannot then be criticized for leaving him out. It is well documented that he wanted Hagi gone in the summer, but surely letting him back into the fold is better than freezing a player out? Apropos players like Danilo who don’t have the full 90 minutes, I agree that it is better to start the and see what impact they can have. Yesterday followed a depressingly familiar pattern of a slow start giving our opponents something to cling onto. We need early goals to force a change of gameplan from our opponents.

Doogz

Bajrami and the other 2 might be transformed under an attack minded manager, and not a dull blowhard who cannot name a team until sports science dept let him know who is available

David Kiltie

Our hated rivals steamrolled Hearts yesterday, with only 2 Scots (both jump the dykes) and one home grown player in the lineup. Many players from outside Scotland have joined our club and bought into us heart and soul. With the Chair and CEO now seemingly sorted, the next major vacancy to fill is the Head of Academy. Clement is slated for fielding very similar line ups game after game but there isn’t much pressure on the regular starters due to the weakness of the squad - so few players outside the starting eleven who are making a forceful case to be selected. If you can improve the output of the academy then we can boost depth and competition for places.

David Kiltie

I know the caveats re statistics, but in McCall’s time as caretaker he only picked up 1 more point than Ally did in the equivalent fixtures in the first half of the season. Also in the play off final we were well and truly dunted. Warnock’s stint at the Sheep last season, something we can view dispassionately, didn’t produce any significant uptick in their form. On the other hand, if we accept this season as a write off, then a caretaker till the end of the season would make sense, so the new manager starts with a clean slate in summer 2025.

David Kiltie

You point out the need for an experienced DOF. I don’t think Koppen’s surprise promotion to Technical Director precludes such an appointment. If the club has made 3 wrong managerial appointments in as many years, then it needs to get the next one right - this demands that we have the necessary top level appointments in place.

Scott Stewart

No tav ? Who’s getting the blame now? the usual suspect in tav has been an easy scapegoat and wasn’t playing to blame. I knew it would make little or no difference with tav out the team. We actually missed his deliveries. Our Cb simply aren’t good enough. Infact the spine of our team isn’t good enough from Cb, cm , cf! Major problems ahead. And it isn’t limited to just one player

John Palmer

I remember when we were in the Lower Leagues his name got chucked into the Mix and I said God no. Fast Forward to Present Day and he's had his Managerial Education and done well. Now that he's had that time, I'd take him without question. He's also no more of a Mental Appointment than Gerrard or GIO.

Simon Lewandowski

i get what your saying i know under this regime we have no cash thats why i mentioned investment regarding the assests we have can you see any manager getting a tune out of them
