Steven Gerrard

[SAFC Wilks]

He and the rest of the team probably thought the title was going to be theirs when they beat Celtic away.

Big mistake.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Rangers will win the cup and it'll be a good season for them. But next season they'll have to win the league.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Celebrated beating Celtic the other month as if the title was won.

 

[JL1985]

Rangers are more than matching Celtic in the head to head matches. They need to sort their away form out but they are very close to overhauling Celtic.

 

[Rotten Johnny]

they are very close to overhauling Celtic.

The league table says different.

 

[Al Bundy]

Celtic 10 points clear or Rangers
Rangers 19 points clear of Aberdeen (with a game in hand)
SPL - whats the point of it

Last team to win it other than the Old Firm ?
Aberdeen in 1985 (35 years ago)
You’re spot on

 

[JL1985]

The league table says different.

I know, it’s their away form that’s the problem not actually beating Celtic as it was previously.

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

Liverpool are currently 22 points clear at the top of the premier league. It’s not uncommon for one team to be dominant in a domestic league.

I had expected Rangers to kick on this season under Gerrard mind you.

They did until the start of this year. Massive win at Celtic park then flopped since.

 

[beachball]

I'd have him at Sunlun

 

[Dun Scathach]

Has the Scottish league ever been any different when both Rangers and Celtic have been in it?

Yeah, Aberdeen were dominant (Cough....30 years ago.....cough). Won a couple of European trophies too.

 

[socrates]

Rangers have been shocking since the Winter Break, looks like another 2nd place for Stevie Me. Sacked at the end of the season?

Liverpools next manager.

 

[vinegar hill]

Will never ever ever happen

people have been saying wait for this to happen for as long as I can remember (40 odd years)

it will never happen

Fergie broke their dominance in the 80's, winning it 3 times in 6 years, quite impressive to think he broke both the Old Firm hold on the Scottish League and Liverpools on the English

nobody else has won it since

And with Aberdeen he won the European Cup Winners Cup, beating Real Madrid in the final.

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Away to Hearts in the Scottish Cup, a place they've drawn and lost at this season, and outplayed in both games. Lose that and it could be the end.

 

[Clive]

I'd heard it was Michael Beale the first team coach that was very influential.

Probably has a few good coaches.

 

[Ember]

And with Aberdeen he won the European Cup Winners Cup, beating Real Madrid in the final.

That seems unbelievable now.

It just shows the power of a top manager. Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough etc. Winning huge trophies at small clubs that went back to being small when they left.

A top manager is the number 1 thing for a successful club on the field. All else follows.

People still can't get their head round the importance of a good manager. Fans want fortunes spent on players, but a manager is one man with one set of wages that can make a much bigger impact than players.

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

Rangers fans blaming the referees.

It’s simple - we aren’t winning a thing until refereeing corruption is addressed by the club

We were poor last night, there’s no doubt about it. However if the referee does his job properly then we leave Rugby Park with an ugly win and 3 points in the bag like the first game of the season. Every successful Rangers team has done this on numerous occasions at places like Kilmarnock and...

[Geronimo]

No var up there or the scouser would be 19 pts clear.

Justice for Gerrard. We want var.

 

[box2box]

He’s definately made rangers more competitive

over rated as a player mind, slightly inferior to alonso in lfcs midfield and less decorated than Henderson (in a couple of months)....

Spot on.

‘It’s not the manager, it’s the players’ was the mantra on here when we were abysmal under Ross. The simplistic view was that as the manager wasn’t on the pitch playing, he couldn’t be blamed for the shit football.

Marvellous logic!
