Rangers' Wee Spot in Europe - Season 2023/24


Recommended Posts

Roofe’s perfectly fine as a main striker. He’s not great at holding a big CB off, but there’s a lot more to the position (and different ways of playing it) than that
Let's agree to disagree. I thought his all round game tonight was very poor. Rangers poorest starter IMO.

Rangers obviously wanted him to play back to goal as they kept playing that ball to him. He kept losing it. In a non dead rubber could have caused you real problems.

I’d agree with those comments, but observing that he had a poor game is a far cry from saying he can’t play as a main striker.

It's the first time I've seen him play as a main striker. So while my sample size is admittedly small, it's 100% of what I've seen so all I can base my opinion on.

I think he's better as an internal 10, when I've seen Rangers play with him there. Under VB might be a struggle, given he plays wingers. Perhaps the actual 10 behind a central striker.

Just my opinion, but if you sell Morelos, Roofe isn't a replacement.

In fairness, if Morelos goes, we won’t be able to get a replacement of his quality without breaking the bank.

There are some wonderful potential opponents in there. Dortmund or Atalanta would be amazing to watch I think.

I'd rather avoid a trip to Russia to face Zenit and drawing Porto would be boring. If you wanted a tie with the best chance of progressing it would be Sheriff.

I'd love to go to St Petersburg one day but yeah the transport links are a mare.

Pretty happy with that. 4 wins from the first 4 from Gio then an away draw in France is pretty good going.

Kent was looking back to his best as well. What we need is more pace though.

Yep, Gio has got off to a decent start which will keep morale high.

Solid performance last night.

Can't get the Tavernier, Hagi etc song out my head 😀

Putting on a show for you..
