Watt-Zeefuik Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 On 18/04/2024 at 09:29, kingantti1874 said: They were shite in a vastly stronger league. you made a very valid and accurate point about the quality of players the huns had then and now, yet for some reason don’t believe hearts and every other club haven’t suffered from same problem to varying degrees. You genuinely believe that Scottish football is as strong. Good for you Baz. I’ll have some of what your smoking I wasn't a Hearts fan (or for that matter watching much football, as it was effectively impossible in the states at the time without a satellite dish) at the time so I'm really on the outside looking in on these things. But I always have trouble squaring these glowing memories of the 1990s teams with the records. In 1996/97, Rangers played in the Champions League and scrapped together a measly 3 points in a group with Ajax (the eventual runners up), Auxerre, and Grasshopper. This was of course when folk held on to the quaint idea that the Champions League should actually be made of champions, which meant that those competing were no mugs but it was also a much more dilute competition than now when it's chock full of the top clubs from the big 5 leagues. The following season, having added names like Gattuso and of course their top spend, the impenetrable wall named Lorenzo Amoruso , they were papped out of the competition at the first asking by Strausbourg just like they were a Brendan Rodgers side. That mighty 05/06 Hearts team nearly lost the final to Gretna and the following season in Europe were brushed aside by AEK and Sparta Prague. Comparing that with how current Scottish football has fared, a couple seasons ago a St. Johnstone team that narrowly avoided relegation went to Galatasaray and eked out a draw. Rangers recently took the Europa League final to extra time. The Celtic side we beat in the Beattie game went on to beat one of the best European club sides ever assembled the next season and qualified out of a very difficult CL group. I accept that we don't get quite the players we used to. I accept that Celtic and Rangers were operating at a level beyond what they are operating at now. I just don't think the gap is as big as it's made out to be. The biggest thing to me is that all of Scottish football operates in the media shadow of the wealthiest league ever to exist in football and it makes it look impoverished by comparison, and worse, their annoying sidekick league gets enough dribble-down wealth that they hoover up domestic players. And yet the new European setup has the potential to give us a boost so we can stop having ****ing Blackpool fans think they can go shopping through our roster like we're a ****ing discount bin at Tesco. I don't think 97/98 levels are unreachable for us. With a bit of luck and some clever moves, I think we could start seeing more signings like those in a few years.

Surrey Jambo Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Nice BBC article re Dundee Utd v Ayr - Scottish Championship: Dundee Utd on title brink, but why so little fanfare? - BBC Sport Goodwin's side conceded just once in that time - and their tally of 22 goals against is bettered only by Falkirk in the SPFL It puts them within sight of beating the best Championship mark in the past decade - 25 by Hibernian in 2016-17 United have scored 68 goals, a tally only bettered in recent times by Rangers in 2015-16 Apparently our goals against of 24 in season 202/21 and our goals for of 96 in season 2014/15 do not count?

Locky Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I tell you what, if you'd asked me to predict the playoff dress rehearsal yesterday between Partick and Airdrie, there's no way I'd have predicted 4-0 Thistle. I can't wait to watch those two go at it over 2 legs. I think whoever wins that will get the better of Raith too. Although I just can't see any of them toppling the Premiership side this year.

hmfcbilly Posted Sunday at 12:24 Share Posted Sunday at 12:24 Don't tend to watch any other scottish footy other than games involving hearts, but caught the 1st half of this game today. St Mirren really have taken the game to Rangers and look capable of getting a result. Throw in Dundee drawing with Rangers recently and Ross County beating Rangers, and it just frustrates me even more how badly we perform against them. Is it Rangers maybe raising their game to play as as they see us as more of a difficult challenge, or are our players simply getting stage fright? I know we've had a decent season with 2 semis and 3rd place, but with our budget, we should be doing that regularly anyway surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted Sunday at 12:51 Share Posted Sunday at 12:51 (edited) Rangers have beaten St mirren to nil 3 x this season, including a 3-0 win at St mirren. When folk start using St mirren as the yard stick v Rangers, facts are important. St mirren playing well here tho, they might get their result v them.
