Rangers fans have reacted with shock following the announcement of the starting XI for this evening’s Scottish Cup quarter-final against Hearts. The Gers travel to Tynecastle for the third time this season, hoping to book a spot in a Hampden Park semi-final. Rangers fans have responded after Steven Gerrard named his XI for the Scottish…
Stevie G has been involved in buying or managing all these midfield players. Grezda, Hastie, Barker, Jones, McCrorie, Docherty, King, Murphy, Kamara, Saddiqe, Ejaria, Kamara, Middleton, Holt, Barjonas, Arfield, Ojo, Aribo, 7million! Kent, Stewart, Hagi, Davis, Jack, Rossiter,. A total of 24 players probably more. We won nothing last year, we will win nothing this year. I said right at start of season we need strikers…we have Morelos and 36 year old Defoe that is it. Been supporting Rangers for 40 years and have not came on this forum for months because everybody knows better, WELL LIKE IT OR LUMP IT I TOLD YOU SO.
Parlane, you’re absolutely right!
When I said the same back in October, I received replies saying “you must be a Celtic supporter!”
I couldn’t get my head round why we had so many midfielders, no left back (at the time) and only Morelos and Defoe as strikers!
I also was villified for saying that we’d never win anything with Tavernier…he’ll always throw in 2 or 3 vital mistakes during the season and because of that he can’t be a Captain…how can he gee people up, when he makes so many mistakes himself?
Anyway, this season is history now, and we need to seriously plan for next year. Morelos will go…hopefully for a good sum and we need to bring forward some of the good youngsters we have in the background and mix them in with some good quality players ( especially strikers),to get them playing for the shirt!
