Commander Harris Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 as much as we have improved and Rangers seem to be struggling, going to Ibrox is always going to be a very tough game.

Pants Shaton Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 According to some fans on here we just need to turn up to collect the 3 points. I fully expect a Rangers win. Anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMarc Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think this is our best chance of getting 3 points in Ibrox in years, at least since Burley's days! Still, that doesnt mean that it's going to be a walk in the park, far from it! But if Csaba gets them going, which im sure he will, and we concentrate and bully them I will be surprised if we dont get at least a point. Saying that it will be typical Rangers and they'll win 3-0 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertonian_II Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Being a bit long in the tooth as well as a touch cynical about our team's improvement, I can't see us winning. There's been many a time where we've gone to castle greyskull full of it, only to be turned over big time. They still have way more quality players than we do If we get a point, it's a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This game could go a long way to setting the tone for both teams this season. Ideally, We win comfortably, controling the game for the full 90 minutes stands empty by the 50th minute.Then we kick on big time till Christmas and beyond Rangers go into melt down.

Obviously I'm hoping for a win but I would not be surprised if Rangers won. Totally agree CH, and lets not forget that Ibrox is the ground that holds our worst away record in the entire league, something like 4 wins in 23 years there. I'm not counting any chickens as I think der hun will see this game as the perfect chance to get back on track, just like we see it as a perfect chance to win in their own back yard for a change.

Only a Game Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'd take a point right now. Never been a great fan of pyschologically "taking a point" in advance of a game. Its against the rules anyway I think we've a very good chance of at least a point but we'll have to seriously turn up and turn up for 90 minutes. That way we dont need to accept a point, we'll deserve a point, and we might even get all 3. As long as something demoralising doesnt happen its early enough to recover from a defeat at Ibrox. Its not like it would be the first time. Lets go for it, get right in their faces and see what happens.

Stanley_ Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm certainly not expecting a win. This is the most confident I've been about going to Ibrox for a long time and I think we have a real chance but you have to remember that this is only our second competitive game under Csaba. Whilst, I'm optimistic about the game and the season, I'm not going to get carried away and go into a game at Ibrox expecting a win and being disappointed with a draw.

Morry Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think were setting ourselves up for a big fall. We always loose against teams desperate for a win not to mention a dismal record at Ibrox. We only beat Motherwell at home with 10 mins to go last week - Hardly league contenders yet. Lets not get ahead of ourselves next we will be claiming to have invented 'flair-football' like the hobos?! Just because Kanaus beat them doesn't mean we will. Thats just a school playground assumption. Right cynicism/realism over time for optimism! I would love it if we won, not even a pumping - I would settle for being the poor side all game and getting an offside goal in the last min. That would be justice!

I don't wanna come across as one of these many doom merchants that you get on here. However I do believe there's a fair bit of cockyness amongst us jambos right now. I've just had that feeling too many times and been left bitterly disappointed. No I certainly won't be giving team talks with my attitude - thats why I sit/stand on the stands doing my job every week.....hurling abuse at the ref.

jambos142 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I think that we have a right good chance of getting a result on Saturday. Ranger's not playing very well,just sold there best player, and the most important they have,Barry The Crab is injured. The defence is in abit of a shambles at this present time,and an early goal for us,espcially if it comes from a Ger,s mistake will have the native,s running for them tenement,s. If we can get on top right from the start and get the early goal all hell will break out in the hunnery. I think that our new management team will have our lad,s well up for it and after the result and the support they got on Saturday at tynie will also have given them some believe in themselve,s. Listened to Mickey Stwart,s interview on HW earlier and it doe,s sound thing,s are being run properly and the player,s are getting the job,s sorted out before they go on to the pitch. This is one trip to the hunnery where we should be thinking we are going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 2-0 Stewart first goalscorer, 600/1. Yes Rangers have good strikers, Boyd, Velicka, Miller, Lafferty, Darcheville, Novo, but they can only play 2 of them up front, can you really see Smith playing 3 up front? Their midfield isn't strong, no Davis, they played Whittaker in midfield on Saturday, Lafferty was in their as well, they have a phycological disadvantage that their captain is missing. And their defence, I don't think we will be shaking at the prospect of facing Kirk Broadfoot and Christian Dailly, they are not strong, Falkirk were all over them on Saturday, they can be beaten. The Csaba factor is strong, Kingston and Stewart especially are performing much better than last season, Mole is even performing well. If we get our tactics right, concentrate on the job in hand, take our chances, we may just get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 2-0 Easy win. For Rangers. We always choke there.

Charlie-Brown Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm not saying we will win or even draw but the amount of defeatism on this thread is staggering - we have to go there with the belief that we can win and make sure we give everything, Rangers are nothing special and nothing to be afraid of.

bighusref Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'd take a point right now. Agreed.

Erik Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 In some ways, this is the BEST time to be going to Ibrox, given the current "turmoil" through there. In some ways, this is the WORST time to be going to Ibrox, given the fact that this is their first home game - with a crowd to win back over..... sooner or later - there WILL be backlash. I predict we will get humped. That in itself is not my main concern - I'm nore interested in how we will react in the weeks that follow if / when they do give us a hiding.

Jammy T Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 So much of how Saturday goes will depend on how we are set up, and what tactics we employ. So, despite Rangers apparent woes it will remain more about how we play, than how they play. Whilst it may be a good time to play Rangers I think it is possibly too early in Csaba's time with us to fully take advantage of this. I fancy a slightly "missed opportunity" draw. But to be honest, if we lose, as long as we have played with confidence and some verve and gone about the game the right way, with what look like good tactics I'll be content enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our performance last week was encouraging but we're nowhere near good enough yet to go through to Glasgow and expect anything other than a defeat.

Bzzzz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I reckon the midfield is ours for the taking, with the crab out and McCulloch in centre mid for them (????) I can't see why MS and LK can't control it, I think our best midfield is very under rated... just hope our defence is awake (hopefully Karapedis with Berra) and Makela is nowhere to be seen! DOn't see why we cant get something from it but I wouldn't bet on it at the moment, very much a "work in progress" situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
