Dragu gets a pass as he was of the few who gave rangers players a bit of physicality!

The front 4 were a joke Johnson son Maddison and Werner got absolutely bullied and allowed it to happen. It was embarrassing
You don’t need to be Einstein to know that but Ange goes all in. Surely Will would have given better strength and physicality up top. We can’t play 4 lightweight players in any formation unless you have real bruiser in CM. Best way to play is like what dippers had with mane salah and firminho. What they had was a powerful midfield behind them and FBs who stayed wide. Alternatively play 3 at the back. Keep WBs wide and our FBs are better suited to that role. Play 2 sitters in front and play MADDs in his proper role. Then solanki up top in a two with either son or kulu.
 
I’ll come clean, I support both Spurs and Rangers having lived down here 40 years. It’s been an interesting take on here. Had the game purely gone to standings, then Spurs are 3 goals better, all day long - it didn’t and they didn’t. But I’m not unhappy as both of them will progress to the knock out phase.
 
Ashley Phillips has been on loan at Stoke City since the start of the season… cmon
I wasn't confused as to the status of Phillips availability, more as to why we have allowed that to occur, we were clearly light for cover at CB with 4 comps to contest this season so why are we loaning a player who could feasibly step into that 4th choice role for us. #"÷, if only as a stop gap until Vuskovic comes or we buy a new one?

Probably Ange decided after having him on the bench (unused) last season that he thought Phillips could do with a loan to get more experience of playing mens football.

Phillips has now had 2 loans for 6 months each to clubs in Championship ..... so the better question is whether Ange thinks Phillips is now at a level where Ange is happy to rely on him starting a few games with the expectation that game time increases over next year or so to become an established member of squad

Bear in mind Phillips takes up a squad place in EL this season
 
Was a great atmosphere in the ground last night, every one of them sings, they weirdly seem to have managed to completely avoid having tourists in taking selfies etc. They've also got some brilliant songs.

Loads of people said be wary of their fans, but they were all absolutely fine, we even went for beers before the game in one of their main pubs.

All in all it was a brilliant away trip (spoilt by the football, as is so often the case).

I’ve always enjoyed my visits to this fair city!

Locals really friendly and some good sites to see!

Yes there are a few bad areas like every other city!

Ben Davies is 4th CB.

Phillips going on loan at 19 was the correct call cos as FIFTH choice CB he'd typically get fuck all game time.
 
I did live close to Bridgeton when i first moved to Glasgow. Interesting place.
Been in the southside now for 17 years

Fair play!

I have an Uncle Arthur in Cardonald who is a tea towel salesman!

You might have heard of him!!

We’ve shared many a pint in one of the pubs on Paisley Road West!

Been a while since I’ve seen him!

Huge Rangers fan and used to take me to Ibrox years ago!

Also have a few cousins in Govan but have lost touch sadly

No it’s on Premium and I haven’t summoned the bottle to buy a stick yet from your mate but I saw footage of the riots on X

Rangers fans all wearing Santa hats chasing the opposition through a shopping centre with about 6 Plod between them!

What’s the score?

Got to be better than the Manchester derby which is a borefest imv


That’s how I introduce him with the T towels gag before he takes a swing at me!

I think he also sells flannels!
😉
 
Remind me, how many goals more than us did they score?
Yet we had more of the ball and opportunity in their penalty area and 1/50 of the support
As I pointed out, we didn't batter or hammer them, but most of their opportunities ended in row Z
They should have made a better job of the opportunities they had.

As the away team with a teenager playing out of position in central defence I am happy to see it as a moral victory

Actually - don't bother replying, I don't have the patience to try and explain anything to someone I have no difficulty in believing has to wear velcro fastened shoes.
You really had to dig deep on that one. Velcro? Gimme the man a :ange-clap:. He deserves a handclap. Now that's where it ends. Explains why you believe we outplayed Rangers. Clearly you know more about Velcro shoes than Football.
