    He said it because to him they're the best squad just like any manager would say if they came to a new club. If you're really trying to use that quote to have a pop at him then I think he'll be alright, if that's the best you can come up with.

    I seriously doubt any new manager coming in almost any other club would say something so ridiculous. They're in 3rd place ffs miles behind the leaders, its pure daftness but as we've seen over these few years its the kind of ****e the rangers support will lap up.

    Don't talk garbage you just need to look on here to know we don't think anything of the sort ffs we have been moaning about sub standard players all season. But hey ho tic fans said we believe it so it must've true. :rolleyes:

    Say all that fantasy stuff in the dressing room and when asked by the media, he could have said 'we have a great squad. That would have avoided him coming across as deluded

    Do you know anything about team sports at all? You guys have been in shocking form since the result last weekend.

    I'll never understand why fans of another club care so much.

    An obsession with all things Rangers FC is part of being a fan of their club.

    Oh no you can't say that. They're not obsessed, they just love posting in a thread about Rangers ;)

    That's called... something else. But definitely not obsessed.

    Im talking about the general rangers support, not particularly the posters here apart from the obvious. I respect you and im not going to get into a running argument about it but can you link me up to where Pedro clarified his remarks? im genuinely interested.

    I will have a look see if I can find it mate I know he said it simply because when he first came away with what you posted I was gobsmacked. Honestly not on any of the forums I go onto do the vast majority of Rangers fans think we have the best squad far from it.

    I do and Celtic got another 3 points today and can win the title on the last day of March if Aberdeen lose to Dundee or on the 2nd of April should Celtic not lose against Hearts

    hey ok , fair enough, i was being slagging and having a go with it i suppose, mad thing to say imo. As i said earlier, seems like a good guy, we shall see.

    Good to have football back. Kiernan and Hodson come in today.

    Rangers XI for the game today against Motherwell is:

    Foderingham, Hodson, Kiernan, Hill, Wallace, Hyndman, Toral, Holt, McKay, Miller, Waghorn.

    SUBS: Alnwick, O’Halloran, Dodoo, Garner, Halliday, Windass, Senderos.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire


    Ffs corner kick the defence once again 1-0 Motherwell


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,895 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Seems like nothing has changed regarding set pieces.

    Yep, was hoping to see an improvement. Looks like were still not going to bother marking players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire


    So Toral moves back and Hill goes off MOH on for Hodson Halliday on for Wallace and Garner on

    Three changes at HT. Bold move by Pedro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire


    Great ball in from Miller and Garner at the back post puts it away 1-1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,895 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    We really need to replace at least half the team. There is the will it seems, but so many of them are simply not good enough.

    Bizarre second half. Tactics just seemed to go out the window and it was just end to end.

    Interesting team for tomorrow night from Pedro

    PC: I will tell you my first XI. James Tavernier, David Bates, Danny Wilson, Myles Beerman, Jason, Andy, Emerson, Barrie, Waghorn and Joe.

    Also he isn't messing about

    PC: it is very important to have players with character. This is a massive club, a huge club and not every player is a Rangers player.

    That's a very strong statement of intent and a very interesting line up. Going to play 4-3-3, is he? Wonder if that is by choice or necessity.

    Necessity it has to be said Wallace is still injured Hodson is not 100% Keirnan is injured. Hill is out as well.
    That statement is is more to do with who is going to be leaving I reckon. He had also said he will be looking at bringing in Scottish players as well as Foriegn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire


    There it is then confirmation of the team

    RANGERS: Foderingham, Tavernier, Bates, D Wilson, Beerman; Halliday, Holt, Hyndman, McKay; Waghorn, Garner.

    SUBS: Alnwick, A Wilson, Dodoo, O’Halloran, Windass, Miller, Toral.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,895 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    I refuse to believe there is nobody in that entire team who can put in a better set piece than McKay.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,043 ✭✭✭Berserker


    0-0. Nice to keep a clean sheet, I suppose but it wasn't very pretty and it's hard to see this squad of players finishing second. Aberdeen away at the weekend is going to be a very tough game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,895 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Utter crap once again. How some of them call themselves professional players I'll never know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire


    Team v the sheep

    RANGERS: Foderingham, Tavernier, Bates, Wilson, Beerman, Holt, Toral, Hyndman, Miller, Waghorn, Garner.

    Substitutes: Alnwick, Hodson, Wilson, Halliday, Windass, Dodoo, McKay.

    Toral and Miller back in the starting line up and McKay and Halliday drop to the bench


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭Broxi_Bear_Eire


    Miller with a belter of a shot makes it 1-0
