He is full of shite, that team are a direct reflection of his attitude, pure vanilla. Now we also may get rinsed tomorrow night especially now with CCV out but what you will get is energy and endeavour at the very least.

This guy must be boiling Rangers fans piss, it’s superb

Always a Celtic fan to come along and ruin the fun.

Good to see the same treatment handed out to the **** in Europe as they hand out domestically. The budget argument cuts both ways, which I'm sure the media will remember come the weekend.

That's the thing as well, it doesn't even go both ways in equal measure.

Proportionally the financial gap from Rangers to Ajax, Napoli and Liverpool is nowhere close to as big as the financial gap from Hearts to Rangers, never mind Livingston to Rangers.

"We had a game at the weekend"

Lol.... What exactly does Gio think should have happened?

Did playing Saturday/Tuesday when in the UCL catch him off guard?

Nah, he's absolutely right.

Rangers have had a midweek European game most weeks during the last couple of months.  If this country was at all serious about its football, we'd stop requiring them to actually play domestic league matches at the weekends at all during this spell, and instead just give them the points. 

Yet another example of how our parochial outlook holds them back.

I can’t tell if these clubs/managers really believe this when they say it or they’re just being disingenuous to deflect from their own failings - or both. 

The argument that a domestic league should be bending over backwards to accommodate an already lucrative competition doesn’t stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever. It gets dressed up as helping clubs do well in Europe but in reality I suspect they’re more concerned by what europe does to their domestic form. 

Case in point being their 2008 run to the uefa cup final - we were told that the SPL and SFA could have helped them win the uefa cup but we know fine well that they think the uefa cup and the lack of fixture changes to support it cost them the league title. 

It’s almost as if competing and succeeding on multiple fronts is difficult for a reason

What is always forgotten is that in 2008 Rangers were allowed to postpone a game against Gretna earlier in the season before a CL game against Lyon. Their fringe players should have been able to beat Gretna. They then went on to get beat by Lyon 3-0.

They forget that they played a part in creating a backlog of fixtures towards the end of that season.

He is scrambling for any type of excuse after another pitiful display.

The difference in our energy and effort compared to only 5/6 months ago is astonishing. At that stage we were navigating through a congested fixture list, going to extra time in European (Braga) and domestic competition (Celtic) and actually looked fitter and hungrier.

We have regressed massively.

On the back of Rangers record breaking feat’s, does anyone know if there’s ever been a season in Champions League history where a country has been represented by 2 clubs and neither has won a single game ?

Unsure about that, but it must be unusual to have two clubs from the same country representing two different countries.
