He’s split opinion yes but he must have something about him for SK Brann to be chucking £12m at us, especially since he hasn’t kicked a ball all season.
He goes with my best wishes anyway.

✍🏻 Rabbi Matondo will complete his move to SK Brann after reaching an agreement to leave Rangers. @RangersReview55 understands a sell-on fee is included in the deal ahead of Matondo’s move to Norway. rangersreview.co.uk/features/25981…

We have this Green party leader dancing around like a demented numpty and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey mounting one stupid stunt after another. Polls currently give them around 35% of the vote combined. No wonder we are increasingly regarded as not a serious country. Because we’re not.

I’m absolutely consistent. I’m against Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square, and I’m against whatever the f*** this is.

The only difference is the shirt. Really that simple.

A short movie.

@Follow_Follow_ A few weeks ago, Celtic and their fans calling for refs to declare who they support. Now that Rangers have suggested a wider discussion, they’ll be silent.

@AMcKellar89 Not seen it but are they top because the ball hits off Sterling’s hand from about a yard with a minute to go?

Nonsense Tam. They don't give us bigger allocations because their fans don't want them to, and they quite rightly listen to their fanbase.
When I'm at Easter Rd or Pittodrie on the segregation point and getting the Ibrox disaster being mocked or whatever I wonder how Rangers fans actually control themselves. There's been untraceable levels of trouble at an away Rangers fixture home or abroad for donkeys years now and for such a large away fanbase we are generally savvy and well behaved and it's actually taken for granted.
Today (like Hibs at Hampden) one set of fans invaded the pitch due to amateur hour security and policing, and couldn't get it under control quickly enough - Rangers fans reacted as they're not going accept that in their own ground - doesn't meant that's acceptable but it does mean you need to acknowledge cause and effect.
So with respect, you're way off here.

No one said they were.
But.. we have no chance of building anything EVER, or rectifying/ developing mentality EVER, if this now becomes the default for any manager we have, who must not only start off brilliant, but then continue brilliantly, and when a drop in form comes along, the need to be sacked becomes immediate.
I'm all for learning the mistakes of the past, but we must avoid overlearning the mistakes of the past. At some point you need to recognise the difference between undeniable progress that has hit the buffers by small margins and terminal decline. We are in the former not the latter.
That team today averaged 24yrs old, there were 3 players signed permanently in Jan who will get better again, and there is still more surgery required on the squad to be made (unless you think the bench was Laden with quality today?)
1st half was perfect, the 2nd half was unacceptable - but I think it's fair for Röhl to expect the players on the park to be capable of ONE COUNTER ATTACKING TURNOVER IN THAT 45 MINUTES to kill the game. Because we do that and today is hailed as a perfect match and he's had a perfect gameplan.
This season is bonkers and I think the difference between 1st and 4th will be marginal. Cup tie is crucial but for me it changes nothing re the above.
Structure is now stable above the coach and the improvements are definite, emotions tonight are overruling the strategy that I think is required to build a winning team.

Khamenei is dead. The end of an era: "He was felled by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, an American president and Israeli Prime Minister whom he loathed. He lived by “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” He died by death from America and Israel." theatlantic.com/international/…

So let me get this straight - a few short months ago this was the worst top flight rangers team I'd seen in 4 decades with the worst manager, the worst recrutiment, and a squad confidence shot to pieces - but now Röhl can't allude ti the fact that we might still have a job on our hands to win the league and we aren't favourites?
Use some intelligence and understand that he's trying to cool the pressure on a squad that might not be able to handle expectations (see above) and downplay things.
Personally I think we as a support need to stocktake how we have a role to play in actually SUPPORTING this young squad through the next 12 games.

I thought the Rangers support were excellent on Wednesday night despite watching a game that always felt on a knife edge despite the early goal. I thought it felt like total support and we kicked every ball with the players. I was talking to someone who lives off the Airbles Rd and she said it was the loudest goal celebration she's ever heard from her home.
The Ibrox support needs to tune in to what's required, and I think every single one of us has a role to play in SUPPORTING this relatively young squad, who aren't seasoned title campaigners, and have had one helluva tumultuous season - through the home game run, starting Sunday.
Total support for 90 minutes, dealing with the inevitable setbacks just as we'd want the players to do so, and willing them to a result. I know I sound sanctimonious but I don't care, we need to step up here.

Danny Rohl admitted he 'couldn't understand' the atmosphere at Ibrox tonight.
Rangers went ahead early, but struggled to add a second against Kilmarnock's 10 men until the second half.

@adamski152 @RheiceMulgrah Hear me out here. New tactic to create more chances with the big man up front - launch it!

Is this medical for now or summer
BenHeckner@SkySport_Ben
Sky exclusive: Ryan Naderi (22) is on his way to the UK for a medical with Glasgow Rangers. Rangers have significantly improved their €3m+ offer for the striker from Hansa Rostock. Not a done deal yet – Rostock still have to give the green light. If completed, it would be the most expensive 3. Liga transfer ever. @SkySportDE | @Plettigoal

@adamski152 Can you replace him in 5/6 days? If not, he shouldn’t be sold.
