He missed the Clyde game last week with an injury and probably a reoccurrence of that. Was feeling the back of his leg after about 10 minutes and then again before going off. Hoping he was being cautious and not wanting to worsen it ahead of Easter Road on Thursday night. Shay also went off with a niggle as did Vigurs at half time. Not ideal but a few weeks to recover before our next league match away to the Sons. Nice win today, heard Easton was on fire Just another stand out performance from him today he’s absolutely brillant our main worry is our left back as we do t have a proper one at our club now since Rico left and keeping Mcinroy could also be a massive lift towards the title push till the end of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Finn away back to Dundee. Strange loan signing as we had an abundance of central midfielders. Good luck to him and will certainly be keeping an eye on his future progression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I know we're truly outsiders going into Thursday nights cup tie against Hibs at Easter Road but 14/1 to win is huge odds for a team unbeaten in 15, 9 straight league wins and 8 of them with clean sheets. Not saying we're going to knock Hibs out as clearly they are a superior side but could give them a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Our ball boy starts in goal tonight Will be no shock result at Easter Road. No Logan and Vigurs in the match squad and Rory and McKenzie are both on the bench. Latter is a bamboozling selection Edited January 20, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively we looked tight and had a couple of decent chances of our own through Mitch. Legs definitely went in the 2nd half of extra time. Wasn't to be. Could be done avoiding some of the big boys next few years. Rangers and Hibs both away 2 years on the trot in the 4th round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latter is a bamboozling selection Gourlay, credit to him, was alright last night and turned in a respectable performance in goals. A few dodgy kick outs but handled everything else with competence. Missing McKenzie wasn't an issue in the end. Scott Ross was brilliant at RB and provided good cover for the missing Shay Logan Last night though I thought Harry Milne was exceptional as he always is. Outstanding performance. Certainly wouldn't have looked out of place in the Hibs starting XI Just missing that strength in depth which is obvious and fully expected given we are a L1 side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really solid performances, particularly defensively. Yule was outstanding in the middle too. Mitch did all he could and had a couple of good chances, especially the one when we were on top for about 10-15 minutes after the break. He needed Rory alongside as he was isolated up there. A Rory of 5-10 years would have been even better! 5,800 or thereabouts was the attendance. Hoped for far more but Thursday night and on tv scuppered that somewhat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Any other players incoming? Are we the only L1 side who doesn't have a loanee on their books? Would really like a striker and winger. Logan Chalmers would have been an awesome addition but rightly chose full time Caley who are fighting for a title push in the Championship. I feel we have cover at RB, LB, CB, CM. Leighton and Leitch don't fill me with confidence as cover and Ola is like a white Rhino (very rarely seen). Reynolds incoming means Jevan's game time is probably limited. Edited January 24, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to play the smart arse card but "white rhino" is a poor choice of example for a rarely seen animal, despite it being endangered. The reason being that whilst there are albino and white coloured species of animals, which are rarer than the dominant colour, the name white rhino is believed to relate to the Afrikaans word for wide, referring to its broad mouth, which distinguishes it from the narrower mouth of the black rhino. The black rhino is not actually black but let's not go there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
