I've never boo'd a player onto the park but I'm Sorry Leon, when you're a Rangers number 9 and you've not volunteered to be one of the 1st five to take a penalty you deserve every thing you get. Especially when you've previously downed tools in the middle of a match and ran off the park and up the tunnel with a fake eye injury

SC81

Dessers not taking a penalty in the cup final has really pissed some fans off. Booing a player coming onto the pitch is mental though.

Andrew Mundt

Utter shite. He's never given anything but 100% effort and commitment to the club and anyone who boos him on/off the park is a brain-dead ***** and needs to take a good long look at themselves.

Tamus

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your "utter shite" comment Do try to keep the discussion civil

Jeb

Shame about Lowry, has all the tools to go and make a real career for himself. Wished it would be with us, but wish him all the best.

Jim Milne

Booing any rangers player is wrong. Dessers has openly spoken about his struggles with mental health issues, and for people to boo and shout abuse at the guy is a disgrace IMO.

Stewart Robertson

I’m going to disagree with you civilly Tamus. Leon is sticking up for his teammate. I want to see that from the players. For a few years now, it’s been noticeably absent - like when Tillman was pushed to the ground. Only Kemar Roofe came across to back him up, despite three Thistle players standing over Tillman, abusing him.

Seumais Simpson

Booing the team off, whilst it's not my cup of tea, I can understand to a point. Booing individual players coming off is bad enough, but booing them coming onto the park is utterly ridiculous.

Colin Wieland

We have to let this go re Dessers not taking a pen in the final. I certainly didn't want him to as I had zero confidence he would put it away. You'd never back him to score one on one with a keeper.

Stephen

Even shouting out the word ‘boo’ is embarrassing. Like they are watching a pantomime or something. People who do that need to grow up a bit.

Tom McDavid

Booing a Rangers player on/or during a game can only be counter productive, so therefore logically should never be done surely.

Tom McDavid

Goalkeeper is a position long overdue for strengthening in the woman’s team. Neither Fife or Esson have convinced.

Gazza G

Are we not due a development fee for lowrey similar to a Bassey/Aribo type payment?

Gazza G

Agree. Also the ibrox automatic half time boo if losing regardless of context seems equally counter productive.

Tamus

It it causes him to leave that it's not counter productive It's letting him know that cowardice is not acceptable

Tamus

Then there is no place for him on the park He's not a wee lame puppy, he is a highly paid professional centre forward paid to do a job He bottled out of it He still picked up his massive wage

Graham Roy

Good point about Europe squad I hadn’t considered that! So hopefully some movement from next week!

Scott Watson

Agreed We know he's not a reliably clean striker of a ball We know he's variable at best if he has time to think about a chance Why would you want someone with those attributes taking a penalty? Saying "we should only sign forwards who are good at penalties" is absolutely fine - but that's a different argument, and it's outside any player's control

Graham Roy

We got a fee for him or at very least an agreement to get a cut of future transfer fees.

Stephen

Who is going to buy a player who is getting jeered by his own fans?

John Smith

Great song and a great movie

Brian Rae

Dessers not taking a penalty has already been explained and is widely available online. It was decided by the manager/staff that he would be 6th taker during the week of the team practicing them prior to the final. It had nothing to do with him volunteering or not, to be in the 5 takers. I'm sure the last penalty he took was for Nigeria and he missed. Should he be our first choice striker? Absolutely not and he is probably too expensive to justify as an impact sub but IMO, It's pathetic and ill informed that some still hold a grudge against him due to him not taking a penalty. Again... he didn't refuse and would have taken the next one if required. I've said it before but the targeted booing is disgraceful.

Tamus

Sometimes managers lie to protect their players You'll remember the nonsense about Morelos mum being unwell one of the times he went AWOL after international duty

Brian Rae

I genuinely don't think its as complicated as that. I don't know what happened with Morelos or his mum but it's an entirely different situation anyway. It's perfectly normal and expected for the manager to select his penalty takers before a game. Incidentally, Morelos as our main striker didn't hit our penalties either and after witnessing the one he did hit and miss, likely wouldn't have been in with the 5 takers.

Andrew Mundt

Have to admit to an ironic chuckle at the civility comment, given you're on here defending "supporters" abusing one of our players.

Hendi

Good on Balagoun calling out the abuse that Dessers has been subjected to. It's not "support", it's bullying behaviour. Too many of our own (including some podders) have delighted in indulging in such behaviour towards Dessers and Barisic before him. Embarassing.

Jim Milne

Look what happened the last time we had a player told to take a penalty when they didn't feel comfortable. See Aaron Ramsey.

Graeme McLeod

Nice of Balogun to stick up for his pal, but he's one I'd gladly see the back of too. Injury prone and one of many who inspires no confidence that this team will produce in the big moments. I wouldn't single out any Rangers player for abuse during a game, but I also don't particularly care about the "harsh treatment" of any of this squad. They aren't good enough to a man.

Tamus

One of our players who bottled out of taking a penalty kick in a cup final Vs Celtic A Rangers number 9 no less who wasn't one of 5 to put their head above the parapit (or if you want to believe the manager a Rangers centre forward is is less likely to score a penalty than a goalkeeper or a fullback who'd never taken one before) That makes him one of two things A coward or a dud Neither of which is acceptable for a Rangers centre forward

Colin Mathie

100% this. I don't believe for a sec that Butland was chosen ahead of him, that's nonsense!

Graham Leatherbarrow

Balogun always gave and will give 100 per cent, there are many shirkers on the list earning far more who need gone, Let’s start with Matondo, Lawrence and Dowell, 70k per week, over 3.5 million a year and I offer the same influence from Govan Rear as they do on games, I certainly turn up more than these 3.

Graham Leatherbarrow

I would introduce a rule to only sign under 23s, much still to prove and offer, once over 25 so many players just going through the motions for me especially your championship players from England, avoid these at all cost, never a decent return on investment.

Graham Leatherbarrow

After many years we appear to be investing in profile of players who will develop so well done to all involved, the difficulty is clearing the overpaid deadwood which is taking far too long

G Calder

70 k P.W is shocking for that lot .. When you contrast with Dessers , he has done more for the team than all those dud wage thief’s you listed put together … thats why its wrong he was booed by his own fans … it sickened me hearing it .

Jim Milne

He's a #9 in shirt only. When everyone is fit he is our 3rd choice striker. A guy who has taken 1 penalty in 18 months because our right back takes every penalty, and missed penalties for Nigeria. No one except Dessers and Clement know why he didn't take one. Maybe in practise he missed every single attempt, maybe he had a niggle and didn't feel right, maybe he knew he'd get dogs abuse if he missed and given his mental health struggles decided against it. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't by some "fans". It's not his fault he was made our main striker because of injuries and nobody else brought in when he clearly isn't up to being that talisman. Like I said no one knows for sure what went on, everything else is pure speculation, and booing is a disgrace IMO.

Hendi

Masses of people singling out one person for abuse and ridicule. Impacting that person's mental health, and doing it in a fashion where they can't defend themselves - aye that's exactly what it is.

Moody Marco

For the love of God can we start getting our players’ names right? He’s not called “Cyril”
