Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Have to say, while Celtic seem to scrape through European games against far inferior opposition, Gerrard has transformed Rangers into a very solid unit in Europe, getting results against quite tricky sides. Ignoring who he currently manages, am I alone in thinking Gerrard might have something about him as a manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring who he currently manages, am I alone in thinking Gerrard might have something about him as a manager? Nah, he definitely does. Has his team playing well and fluid. Definitely has a style, you can see that with rangers over the past few seasons and they have improved. The question is can the grind out games, they have in the past tended to play well in 4/5 games and win well then draw or get beat. Rinse and repeat where as celtic tended to keep on winning, even if it wasn't handsome as rangers and Ofc celtic ground out results v them more often than not. I think they'll win the League this season, signs were there - that in the head to head v ranger's it was closer each game over the past few seasons. Be a catrostrophic failure for Celtic to not to win the league tho, but also a bit funny. And we'd need to put up with their fans gloating about 55 and their first trophy in their new guise v 10iar if celtic win it. The excitement of Scottish football.

If you think Gerrard isn't running the team so be it. As for anti football the Scottish league in general is. It's utter crap. The major strategy is defend like your life depends on it and prevent any football breaking out. It's one reason why nothing but the OF gets anywhere in Europe. They do play football. Both of them.

See, I don’t see the Scottish game as utter crap. I think that’s a myth we get rammed down our throat by people in the media, our own media as well any time Celtic/Rangers don’t win domestically or lose in Europe. The fact is, the old firm have astronomical wage bills compared to the rest and do to the league what any club with those resources should do. Some sides don’t get me wrong Park the bus and hope for draws etx against the old firm but Celtic/Rangers should be able to get round that with the players they can afford. Gerrard hasn’t won a single trophy in his time in Scotland and in nearly every big game that matters, he’s lost it. Plan A for Rangers is class but after 3 seasons they still don’t have a Plan B hence the reason they dropped points at Livi and hibs. Come the old firm game he could be 5 points behind after the first round of fixtures. The boys a myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrelevant to me who is responsible for Rangers playing football of a style that gets them into Euro group stages 3 years running. And in my view the rest of the league play nothing like the style of football required to get anywhere in Europe. Are the sheep playing silky flowing football? Are they getting anywhere in Europe? No to both of those questions. They sign 'big physical units' to strong arm a game and lob long balls. And they're typically judged to be 3rd best in the league. Amateurs could do what they do. There's tackling going on in Scottish football that wouldn't be tolerated in England far less Europe. Tackling designed to constantly interrupt the flow of play. Which is exactly why sheep fans were whining when they went out in Europe against Portugal. Ref was against them they say. Whistle happy. Actually he wasn't. He just wasn't allowing the typical play that goes on week in week out in Scottish football. The same play the sheep employ every week. Then when they play continental opposition they're lost. And it's exactly why TV wont pay large sums to televise it. Because it isn't attractive flowing football. OF aside.

Rangers have failed to win their two most important domestic games to date because they don’t have a Plan B. Well there you have a common occurrence, different views about football. Forget this Hearts fan thing, on top of that I'm a football fan. And what I see in Scotland most of the time isn't attractive football anybody but Scottish fans would be interested in. And if Celtic are ganting and Rangers have no plan B then wow, they're both in Europe, again. While ganting and with no plan B. And taking the two top spots in the league while one is ganting and the other has no plan B. What does it matter to me how many plans Rangers have? If they no plans or a dozen plans it still wont change the overall unattractive nature of Scottish football. And until it does change TV will remain of the same opinion. Now I'm not the only one of that opinion. I have seen actual experts such as Gordon Strachan say exactly the same thing. You need to contact such experts and TV to convince them how good it is. Even if you could convince me it wouldn't change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the usual suspects Scottish fitbaw is shite, and even then, when they come up against a real side they are reduced to the same. Tells you just how bad the rest of us are. Guess that makes me not sound like one of us either. Btw, "some lovely football"? And I don't say that because you throw Hibs into your equation. Sheesh!

Their opposition in the final play off round was a little Faroese club with a stadium capacity of 2,630 and a total squad value of around £1.6 million. I think Hearts would make it through if the opposition were of that standard. Hell I think even the sheep and Motherwell would have. It's down to Dundalk being the champions of Ireland then being beaten in the CL qualifiers and dropping into the Europa league play off round like Celtic did through the Champions path. And drawing probably the weakest team left in it Dundalk have played a total of 33 CL matches, all qualifying round matches but have never qualified for the CL groups, they have just 4 wins out of those 33 matches.
