Sonam Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Can only see an easy a win here for Rangers. Rangers appear to have landed themselves a decent manager in Clement. Got a feeling that Rangers may go on to win the league, as Celtic have gone backwards with Rodgers. (No, it's no 2nd team thing though it sounds like it.) Unless it's a faultless defensive performance from County, I fear the final scoreline. A hammering here after Adams recent comments also won't look good. Not confident, but County have to beat Rangers someday. Never happened though doubt it will happen at Ibrox this Wed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hadn't even crossed my mind until you started denying it Now I'm HIGHLY suspicious (although I believe the terminology you're looking for is "big team"). As for the game, I sadly also expect nothing other than a Rangers victory. I won't be reading much into it whatever the scoreline - although it'd be fascinating to see how folks would react / process it if County somehow managed to pull off a positive result! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 For once I'm actually looking forward to the winter break, just 3 games to go and a chance to catch our breath/get some players fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be handy if you could charge remotes via a usb charger, no more searching around for batteries. Anyway apparently Goldson might now be out for this game, you guys must be getting pretty confident now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Incoming 4-1, with Jordan White getting his customary goal against Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from Highland League days, anyone my age back then did have a 2nd team. No chance of promotion either. Mine was neither of the old firm, nor Aberdeen. Will leave ya's guessing tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Not sure the game will go ahead with weather warnings in place, unless county travelled down yesterday, but I suspect not for evening kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Surely this match will be postponed due to the travel conditions on the A9. Whether the team have arrived or not, how are supporters meant to travel in both directions, in such conditions.

Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 The police & the league demanded that the County St Mirren game be cancelled due to travel conditions for the away fans. The SM team were already in Dingwall & the local conditions were fine. The issue was with the roads near Perth I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if the team travelled down last night or not, but it is treacherous. This is the current state of the road: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Someone from the record must have been reading this. Rangers vs Ross County in jeopardy as the brave Staggies travel down on snowbound A9 TODAY Derek Adams’ side face travel hell as they bid to brave through Storm Gerrit to make it to Ibrox on time. Doubt has been cast over Rangers’ clash with Ross County tonight as the Staggies are currently travelling through torrid winter conditions this afternoon. The Highland side have NOT stayed overnight in Glasgow, meaning they are en route to Ibrox on the day of their meeting with Philippe Clement's side. That will see them have to fight through "heavy snow" according to NW Trunk Roads – who work on behalf of Transport Scotland – with six gritters in situ up and down the wintery A9 roads right now. Traffic is at a "standstill" too with the A9 closed at Drumochter. Resources are stretched to the limit as workers try to clear snow in a bid to get vehicles through. But with kick-off at 7:45pm tonight, there will be anxious glances at watches throughout the day as Derek Adams' men try to make the game with Rangers. NW say they "are advising to avoid the route as much as possible and delay travel". Currently, Google Maps has the journey time at 4hrs 45 minutes. But that isn't accounting for additional delays – which are likely – and rush hour traffic which the bus is primed to hit. There are yellow wind, rain and snow warnings in certain areas of the country 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) As posted previously, regardless of if the team are still traveling or not. The game should be off for the safety of fans travelling back north, after the game. When conditions are forecast to be far worse than they are at the moment. Imo it's ridiculous it's not been called off by now, safety has got to be the priority!

Calling the game off when we have a barrow load of injuries before an old firm game, that's bound to see our green n grey pals going into full conspiracy mode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Jakey Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Surely the Rangers can mobilise an army of orangemen with shovels to clear the A9? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I wouldn’t be too disheartened if the game is called off tonight given our squad is pretty decimated already. Plus I’m choked with the cold so selfishly wouldn’t mind a night in watching the Edinburgh Derby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
