I was thinking that but away goals have been scrapped have they not? So not as important a goal as it could have been. 

Yes that is true but will feel more confident chasing one goal than 2 just to draw level .

SPL should be a lot more competitive this season 

[Super_horns]

Must be Steven Gerrard's hardest week at Rangers.

 

Potentially going to lose 3 games in a row and heading out of the Champions league.

Ouch. 10 man Malmo'd.

Have a feeling that he won't last the season.

It'll be a three-way battle for the SPL title - with them, Celtic and Hibs imo.

Already talk of Rangers having to sell players to cover the lack of revenue.

 

Had they budgeted for CL football or in mess finances wise ?

There are three things that are certain in life. Death, taxes and Rangers being in financial trouble. 

 

They're a horribly run club. Even in the 90's/early 00's when they appeared to be doing well, they were running themselves into the ground and it all stems from that famous Davie Murray quote "for every £5 that Celtic spend, we will spend 10".

 

It's why I've never understood the argument that if Rangers were in the PL with the finances that it provides, they would do well. There is no evidence that backs that up. Quite the contrary, the more money they seem to have, the more trouble the get themselves into.

Now Rangers are out of the CL, there are 3 Scottish clubs we can possibly meet in Europa league.

Rangers, Celtic & St Johnstone, who would all be good away trips with less faffing about than a European trip.

Glasgow being 40 mins from my house would be good but I'd love a trip to Perth. Nice city.

Wow didn't realize Brechin City were now in the Highland League - 3 successive relegations!

[Deebhoy]

The turnaround that's taking place at Celtic is nothing short of breathtaking at the minute. We're in for a roller-coaster season. Cannot believe the change in Tom Rogic.

[SemperEadem]

First Old Firm will tell us a lot about where both teams are at.

Celtic are so much better to watch this year in terms of style.

He's a good manager

The last few games have been brilliant to watch, Celtic are playing some breathtaking football right now. It's unbelievable the change in such a short space of time. It's right up there with some of the football we played in Rodgers' first season. 

 

We seem to have found an absolute diamond in Kyogo and if we can tighten things up at the back then I think we could get our title back this season.

Furuhashi looks very good. His movement is incredible.

Yeah he's been an absolute breath of fresh air, an amazing find.

How very dare you.

Impressive double tifo by Rangers.

[Vacamion]

 

It is only because they absolutely have to (given that everyone is so biased and so quick to cry favouritism at any perceived slight), but Sky have partisan co-commentary, BUT ONE FROM EACH SIDE.

 

If only their English Premier League coverage had such a requirement for balance.

I've always thought that McCoist on commentary does a great job at staying unbiased even though he's probably gagging to belt oot a rendition of the sash.

Oh no, we get the double commentary when Liverpool play Man United.

 

When one of those play against the riff-raff we're not worthy of having our own voice.

I like to think that Super Ally is more cultured than the bigot songbook.

 

He might hum Simply The Best if he's feeling saucy, but that's as far as it goes...

I'm naw so sure. He might hide it better than others but he's from an era of Rangers players who touched a picture of the Queen as they left the dressing room.
