Florentine_Pogen Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So, I'm assuming that it's already been pointed out that the much-improved Rangers have taken half the number of points from their four games that they took from the corresponding fixtures last year? 2017-18: Won first visit to Fir Park, won first visit to Pittodrie, won first home game with Ross C (swapped for St Mirren), drew first visit to Celtic Park. - 10 points. 2018-19: Draw at Aberdeen, beat St Mirren at home, draw at Motherwell, lose at Celtic. - 5 points.According to Richard Gordon on Sportsound yesterday, it’s the worst start to a season by any club playing out of Ibrox in the last 30 years.“Let’s go......”[emoji149][emoji149] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're suggesting that this current team isn't far better than this time last season, then that's wrong. We've dropped points so far this season that we shouldn't have, but i'm confident that won't be happening once the team have been together a bit longer. Pedro and Murty's teams would have come away from those games at Pittodrie and Fir Park with nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG mentioned “worst start to the season”.....we’re only 4 games in......you expect better results over a longer period.....a natural reaction.Hibs are in a similar situation......pretty mundane start but things have to pick up....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 4 games the official marker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Big set of away games to hostile parts between now and tomorrow week coming up. I think we're capable of winning all three but would rest content with WDD. How did that pan out for you?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like comparisons where Rangers had much greater resources than all their competitors are meaningless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Was the allocation sold out? I saw a picture on twitter showing it about half full but not sure if it was genuine.No idea, I wasn’t there yesterday, but there definitely looked to be some empty seats in our section? Usually get one for CP, but no chance with the reduced allocation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Should have guessed, so based on staunchness?Isn’t that how most clubs allocate their received number of tickets for away games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P&B following might see it differently, but it matters little. Follow Follow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Funny to see the difference in coverage of Rangers once you get out of the Scottish media bubble. First we had the English ref talking about McGregor and the penalty, then today I was listening to the Totally Football Show and heard the English pundit who had watched the game express his surprise at how rubbish Rangers were after the all hype, he actually called their performance embarrassing. This is not a Talksport shock-jock kind of production. The Emperor has no clothes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
