capt_oats Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 That 92-94 away shirt went up on CFS btw... £249 is a bit rich for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Fully expect Rangers to rest key players over next week v United and County. Whether that makes a difference in the actual results we shall see. I think both games are at Ibrox so hopefully they will have enough with home crowd. Of course none of that really matters if we do not pick up a minimum 4 points from next two games. If we were to get 6 I would be confident of at least 5th. I still believe we need to beat County tomorrow for us to realistically have a chance of qualification. I saw a post on SO saying that a number of players have had illness this week and not trained. Sounds like perfect preparation . As long as GA does not say this game does not define our season again. Because it sure a hell does for most of us. Top 6 was a decent effort but to not win another game over next (realistically) two games would bring the curtain down on a shite end to the season. I am hoping for a surprise tomorrow at 5pm. I don’t expect one as our defence is powder puff. I am otherwise engaged until 5pm (on purpose) as I don’t think I can watch or listen to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect one as our defence is powder puff. I am otherwise engaged until 5pm (on purpose) as I don’t think I can watch or listen to the game. I think United have a great chance tomorrow but on the basis Rangers will be playing their entire reserves v Hearts, I could see them putting out a side strong enough to deal with County at home in between. They won't want to go two weeks without a solid performance or go into the final on three poor results. So the equation for me likely remains win the next two and we're in Europe, don't win the next two and we're crossing our fingers for Montrose away in the LC. As for GA's comments, 1) there is absolutely no reason to believe him, 2) even if he is telling the truth when you've won 1 in 15 there are only a couple of players you're worried about. So long as Kelly, Tierney and KVV are fit (and picked!), we can happily bring back the tombola machine for the rest for all the difference it will likely make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckets Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 13 hours ago, KebabMuncher1886 said: If Rangers win the Europa League how will this effect our chances of Europe? will 6th gain an extra spot as Rangers qualify directly for the champions league? will Hearts now gain the champions league qualifiers and Dundee United the Europa League group stage leaving the other 2 conference spots for 5th and 6th or am I being silly? Rangers winning the Europa makes no difference to anyone else in Scotland. 4th still goes into the 3rd qualifying round and 5th goes into the 2nd qualifying round. The Scottish team will be seeded in the 2nd qualifying round but probably unseeded in the 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I had a look too, but I was 10-11 around then and it was that period where I could mind almost all but have no recollection of that. I'd have had a chat about reading about signings in the paper with ma da etc. Nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Always thought Burley would be a good appointment for us managerially but there was probably never a window where that was realistic. His stock was always too high for us until the point he went off the rails to the extent where we wouldn't touch him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Also, thank f**k the Conference League wasn't around when we finished 3rd a few years back. Imagine rocking up to the Group Stages with Seedorf and Robbie Crawford ffs 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would have been a memorable season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZX1886 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 No wonder you got your excuses in before revealing that thought.It was a brief thought and involved the consumption of a lot of alcohol but I can genuinely remember saying to my mates that we looked a comfortable team on the ball and could challenge them. As Robbo pointed out at the time, we could’ve caught Rangers if it wasn’t for the season being called early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness Tierney should not be out the team for any reason at this point.
