Walters didn't impress me in the last game. McGreedy not being fit is a plus and we've always got the Anya option later in the game. Both lineups have a couple of surprises.
I'm still going with 2-1 Scotland.

Will the Scotland fans be able to sing Flower of Scotland in time?

I'm delighted Shane Long isn't starting for Ireland as I think he'd cause us a lot of problems.

Anya needs to come on at half time, we look really poor. Ireland aren't a great side but we're making them look better than they are.

How on earth did the linesman not see that was offside, at least 2 or 3 yards off.

Ireland probably deserve to be ahead, although the goal was clearly offside.

Not watching, listening to it on the radio. Sounds like thon Forsyth was garbage in the 1st half? Where the fuck is Robertson?

A decent result in the end.

A draw is alright given how bad we were in the first half but hard to get too excited about not beating a poor Ireland side. They're the biggest bunch of hammer throwers you'll see and I think if we'd played the way we did for most of the 2nd half (until we started sitting back) we'd have won. Poland and Georgia are the big ones now.

Poland and Georgia are the big ones now. Ireland were a bunch of dirty bastards again. Disappointing not to have won considering how poor they are but I'd have settled for a point beforehand. A bit pish, but I'll take it. Hopefully Gibraltar can get a result against Germany.  |

No gameplan other than pumping the ball into the box. |

McGeady and McCarthy must be gutted.

Glad to get a point, think we could have won that, Ireland were beatable but in the end that last 5 minutes were tense so to come away with a point, keeps us in a very good position considering we don't balls up against Gibraltar or Georgia, could be down to us and Poland and what game at Hampden that will be.
Now time to watch Gibraltar pump Germany, for the price of a sky package the lack of HD is disappointing !

We'll take 4 points from Germany and Poland at home, then get beat from Georgia. We'll find a way to not qualify.

Warburton's a good coach I think as proven by his excellent season at Brentford. First decent coach Rangers have hired since Walter Smith in my opinion. Jim, what do you think of the appointment? The others in between have just been utter dross. Surely Warburton's an improvement on them? |

The others in between have just been utter dross. Surely Warburton's an improvement on them? The games which I saw Brentford are an encouraging sign for the style of football he likes play which can only be an improvement on the last 4 years. He also seems to have a good record working with youth players and he was also heavily involved with Next Gen European U-20 tournament which ran for a couple of years before UEFA started the youth Champions League. Glad big Davie Weir is involved too. We need a proper infrastructure once more, a scouting department to identify guys like Andy Robertson like Dundee United did even though we were the team he played against in the 3rd division! I'm not Dave King's biggest fan but at least he has made a good choice with Warburton, more progressive than going back to McLeish or McCall. I'd have liked Cathro to be involved, maybe with the youth set up but I can't see it right now. To be honest when it comes to Rangers I've seen more passion, commitment and talent on show at my 5 a sides than I have at Ibrox in the last 3 years. I know McCoist had a lot to put up with off field but that doesn't excuse the piss poor tactics (lack of), the poor fitness levels and downright stupidity of signing players like Ian Black or giving Kyle Hutton a 1 year extension over signing Scott Allen last summer. And all on a yearly wage of over £700k a year, scandalous he took, and still takes, that kinda cash for managing in the lower divisions. Hopefully this is the kick start to some stability and I can get back to talking about football rather than financial shite, been a hard few years I must say! |

I honestly think your woes have been compounded by terrible managers since Walter Smith left. Not one of them would I touch with a barge pole even for Inverness. But, yes, Warburton's a very exciting appointment judging by the excellent style of play he applied to Brentford. His stock is high at the moment for almost getting them to the Premier League so it proves the pulling power of Rangers I suppose, which begs the question, why weren't they seeking out managers of similar ability in previous years? |
