Hello! Hello!

[mca]

Did i hear on the radio.. i know old blunt eh.. but i'm sure i heard them says its aberdeen's first win at ibrox since 1991.. is that right ???

[green&left]

Bet them 2 year ago iirc. 2nd win since '91 I think

Edit they also beat them this season in December

[BoomtownHibees]

Beat them 1-0 earlier this season at Ibrox

[calumhibee1]

Another trophy less year for Sevco. Wonder what year they'll win their first ever major trophy? At least they have the Petrofac Cup.

Aye.. that's what i thought... BBC sportsound is murder... maybe they meant 1991 in the cup or in the buff ffs !!!!

[theonlywayisup]

Bet them on 5th December 2018 in the league.

Maybe he meant Aberdeen have beat them twice since he's been manager. You know how the Scouse dialect is a difficult one to understand.

They beat them 2-1 away in Rangers first season back up. So at least 3.

Scottish football journalism is honking. The evening news had an article up earlier about how it's a chance for youth players at Hibs to take their chance with our injury list. The article claimed Heckingbottom has only made 2 subs in 5 games because his squad's so short.. I counted them out and he's made about 12 or 13.. :rolleyes:

Gerrard must stay.....beside the phone so he doesn't miss the refs apology call.

[Radium]

That class above statement after the draw at Pittodrie earlier in the season has come back to bite Gerrard

Maybe the usual meaningless stat. First win since 1991 but fail to mention they mean in the cup and only 3 games played since then or some pish like that.

[theonlywayisup]

Gerard must realise that he needs to leave The Rangers before he's sacked. He could become a great manager - being barely average at The Rangers will not help.

If you half what they've spent this season, then maybe it's an 'OK season'. Absolute embarrassment for them, with the money they've spent, that they've not reached a domestic cup final this season. They were very fortunate with the europa league run they had, that and the over-reliance on Morelos has papered over the cracks for Gerrard.

He’s got the lowest win percentage out of Warburton, Caixhina, and Murty. And he’s the first manager not to get them to a semi final of the Scottish Cup since Kenny McDowall. So not sure how he’s improved them?

Aberdeen aren’t as good as last season in the league that’s how Rangers are further ahead. It’s just knowing basic facts about football, nothing to do with following anyone closely.

League titles aren’t won or lost because of one incident and there were other, more pivotal games that could be held accountable if people want to go down that road. I’m sure Liverpool fans can count more incidents where he’s played important parts in winning major honours like the champions league and the FA cup.

I think he’s got Rangers playing really well but how can you legislate for such stupid individual errors such as the one tonight?

Well done to Aberdeen though👍🏼

He had a magnificent career, I don't question that for a single moment, but that moment was pivotal in the collapse of Liverpool's challenge that year. I didn't comment to laugh at either Gerrard or Liverpool - in fact I very much hope that Liverpool win the league this season.....

We have an outstanding record against them since oldco were liquidated. Won 10 lost 8 or something, (please come and assist if you have the actual stat to hand:greengrin) This is a ridiculous level of dominance over a team with around seven times our player budget.

So don't feel queasy. Gloat away, it's your right as a Hibby.

Getting further in Europe this season earned him plaudits and to be fair was an achievement given the squad they had
But the extra money given to him in January has been wasted so has to be a blot on his record
Apart from Europe I do t think he was under pressure to win anything from the Board in his first Season
But with nothing to play for now apart from second will be interesting to see how thier crowds fare
But he has done enough to go again next Season , but he will be under more pressure then

I think at their best they’ve improved. But they seem to have lost any middle ground. They either look a very good side or absolutely crap with very little in between where as before they looked a slightly better than most side at best but could also look average or absolute crap.

That all sounds a bit radge! It could mean that Stevie G-spot realised after a couple of training sessions the Rangers hadn’t signed Sadiq but his chancing wee brother Boabby who was fed up being a waiter, a bus driver or something. He certainly didn’t appear to be a fitba player from what I saw of him in the semi final. Mind you, if he is putting the boot into the huns…I like him and think he is a great striker! 😁

[Ronniekirk]

He has never won a league in his professional career so not sure why they thought he could win this one ahead of Celtic :-)

When he was appointed King made it clear It was a three year plan and he wasn’t expecting to win the League in Gerrard first year The key was go further in Europe and the cash that brings
But clearly the fans are not happy and the fear of Celtic winning 10 in a row haunts them
So it remains to be seen if King and the Board continue to back thier Man and the three year an or whether they cave in to the Mutants and try and appoint someone who can work Miracles and Win the League in their first Season

Personally I think he's done a good job there so far. Yes, pressure's starting to mount now as the trophy famine goes on but they're a vastly improved side to the one he inherited. I initially suspected (and hoped) he'd be a dud but he's quite impressed me.

I agree. They are miles better this season (though he's had the money the rest of us can only dream of) and look a good side. In Europe they have done very well. I just hope he wins **** all there.

Won’t count for zip unless he wins the league this season though.

9 in a row for Celtc and the pressure will become intense.

Gerrard will turn into one of the great football managers. He’s doing an outstanding job at Rangers, they tore Celtic to bits today, they lost to an offside goal, should have had two penalties and the one they missed should have been a retake. It’s extremely ignorant to say otherwise considering the ripped us to bits too while Celtic struggled at Easter Road.

To be fair not sure he deserves as much criticism as he's getting here. They are miles better than before, particularly this season and they absolutely battered Celtic today.

If that was us v Hearts we'd be fuming after dominating a derby and somehow losing. Celtic rode their luck big time today and I'd be a little worried if I were them.

This to me feels a bit like the Tommy Burns era - "Andy Goram's name will be on my gravestone" and having players like Cadete, van Hooijdonk and Di Canio but struggling to leave a mark on Rangers despite dominating Old Firm games - in reverse.

So I can see which other rookie manager will be one of footballs great managers.

[hibbydog]

Gerrard will turn into one of the great football managers. He’s doing an outstanding job at Rangers, they tore Celtic to bits today, they lost to an offside goal, should have had two penalties and the one they missed should have been a retake. It’s extremely ignorant to say otherwise considering the ripped us to bits too while Celtic struggled at Easter Road.

He’s doing a good, competent, solid job. Definitely not outstanding. If an old firm manager had won the league in his first year and perhaps a cup, that would be outstanding.

He’s definitely improved a poor team but after a season and a half it’s zero trophies out of four. I’d say that’s pretty poor to be honest.

[JohnM1875]

Bizarre thread. Rangers under Gerrard have been so much better than I will ever want to give them credit for. Probably the most ruthless team in the league. And that's coming from someone who can't stand him (I love Lampard haha)

Can't wait till he leaves them and we see how they go from there.

Sevco are collectively bigoted losers.

Gerrard has done a moderately decent job at Ibrox, yet will win zero trophies and therefore is a managerial loser.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Gerrard is a champions league winning captain, Potter sat on a bog in Dundee. Gerrards wife is a model, Potters bird is an old Budgie about 200, Gerrard is a top top person, Levein is a ****. Apart from that you’ve probably got a point.

Stop this. I've said he's doing a very good job (with huge financial advantage) but you are verging upon sycophancy. They couldn't take their chances, **** him and let's celebrate the fact they are eight years without a trophy. I hope they never win anything again.

[Lunatic]

In what way is it unfair?

Well, the cash situation would be fair if everyone had similar budgets. That's not the case here. The Rangers have a VASTLY superior budget to teams like Hamilton. As such, their success is not measured by whether they finish above Hamilton in the league, or win more cups than them. Their success is and always will be measured against the only team with a similar budget - Celtic.
Maybe you think they deserve more money as they have more fans. Perhaps they do. Maybe it's best if the more popular teams win all the time. Then everyone can just support the best teams. That'll be fun.
Maybe, the other teams will decide "**** it, what's the point" and the two most popular teams can just play each other all the time.
If something isn't done about the lack of competitive balance in football, eventually people will lose interest. It's happening already and is not good for the long term popularity of the sport.

Rangers, under Gerrard, have returned to their old ways of spending loads of money they don’t have. And they still have nothing to show for it.

In the big games, when it really matters, they rarely do what they need to, as they’ve shown twice in the space of a few days.

If we’re classing Aberdeen as a big game then it has to be acknowledged that they have done well in games that are a hell of a lot bigger in Europe than a league game away at Pittodrie less than half way through the season. I’m not sure it can be said they rarely turn up for big games now.

Two possible explanations:

1) They have no class.
2) The provocation level was EXTREME, a few Celtc fans might have said some rude words and the club was worried about a potential riot and murderous rampage on the Hampden turf.

I get that simple data like that doesn't tell us anything about spending, but it does give you an idea of how much money Rangers have thrown at winning a solitary Petrofac Cup since 2012.

They drew with Porto and beat them at home, Porto spent £60m in the summer.

It’s not so easy to catch a team miles ahead of them when that team is still spending more annually though. Celtic spend more than Rangers, Celtic have built a team over 5 years, Gerrard has managed to cut the gap drastically while getting them to over achieve in Europe. It’s extremely lazy to say it is just because they are throwing money at it.

[Ronniekirk]

Same.

Won’t count for zip unless he wins the league this season though.

9 in a row for Celtc and the pressure will become intense.

Yes the pressure will intensify the longer they go without winning something
But King initially said when he came in ,it would realistically take four to five years to get near Celtic , and back challenging for honours . That was also dependent on getting to group Stages of Europe ,for at least three Seasons in a row .
You would probably say Gerrard has delivered on all that bar winning something
However they had a great chance on Sunday and blew it .Whether pressure got to Morellos ,or a combination of that and the conditions .
But he will now be under even more pressure to score against them next time he plays against them
Transfer business could help determine who’s goes on to win the Title ,but it may we’ll be another barren year for The Rangers ,and King will step down ,and allow new investment ,for the Big Push next year ,to try and stop Celtic winning Ten in a Row .

Played ok first half versus the Sheep at Pittodrie but put that down to him being an ex-don

Sunday brilliant strike that brought out a strong armed save from Forster and a good recovery tackle second half injuring himself when he gave away possession apart from that nothing the same when he plays for Scotland I have to remind myself he is on the pitch :greengrin

Edit: I honestly don’t remember him causing us any collateral damage in all his games for the Sheep versus us but 2-3 Scottish Cup SF is ringing a warning bell

[G B Young]

Shoogly peg now surely

He'll stay while they're still in Europe I'd imagine, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's an agreed parting of the ways at the end of the season.

Up until Christmas I thought he was doing a far better job than I'd expected him to do but recent results have been woeful.

Losing once to the yams (still Stendel's only league win) was embarrassing but could have been seen as a freak result, but to lose twice to the worst team in the league in the space of a few weeks is borderline sackable for the manager of a team tasked with winning the title. Leg weary and lacking strikers they may have been but I was genuinely taken aback by how hapless they were this evening.

[CloudSquall]

If they weren't still in Europe he'd be gone.

[Northernhibee]

I used to think I liked Gerrard but he’s doing a Lennon and throwing his team in front of a bus, again. That never ends well.

They have absolutely collapsed. What was an excellent side before Xmas now look atrocious domestically.

[HendoDelivered]

Failure.

[Onion]

If they weren't still in Europe he'd be gone.

True, which makes it all the more enjoyable ! The Huns and their board are obsessed with the title but now can’t sack him as he’s making much needed money for them in Europe. Another year trophy less is hilarious.

[Pretty Boy]

Europe will save him this year.

I don't know many Rangers fans but the couple I do love him. He's barely laid a glove on Celtic in 2 seasons yet they think he is a saviour.

[Rumble de Thump]

Having overspent by tens of millions of pounds, the Sevco board must have given him a target of at least winning a domestic cup this season and pushing Celtic all the way in the league.

[hibbydog]

I actually think he’s done a reasonable job overall. They were a shambles before he arrived. He has gotten them closer to Celtic and they’ve done well in Europe.

Everyone expected them to kick on after the winter break, but they’ve been woeful and the daggers will now be out.

Same here with the few current buns I work with. Even polls on Rangers forums and two thirds still backing him.

Apparently being an honest makes up for being a ***** manager - he has a worst win record than Pedro, Murty and Warbs :confused:

They're 12 points behind Celtic - in 2 weeks time it'll likely be 15 points. That's shocking for the money they're spending.

He's ended their season in Feb. Europe is a bonus for the OF if they do well domestically. When Celtic get the 10 no Rangers fans going to look back and say "Chin up William mind last season we got to the last 16 in the Europa - who cares about 10IAR and 5 trebles".

He's clueless as **** and with the threat of 10IAR desperation will kick. Hopefully he stays on and blows another £15m on utter dross.

Wether its Celtic, Rangers or Celtic and Rangers mopping up all silverware makes no difference to Hibs really. But I do really really enjoy seeing the huns in pain so hopefully they'll win SFA for years to come.

[Oscar T Grouch]

There are quite a few knives out for him on hun media, a lot of unhappy huns, it was fun reading some of their tear and anger soaked posts. Luckily for Slippy, he made a mint for them in Europe and secured the large wedge of the TV monies over celtc, so him peg isn’t too shooglie yet. I would imagine a mutual agreement parting come seasons end, they certainly can’t afford to pay him off given the length of deal they just gave him. Might even be a EPL club in for him given he’s a high profile manager. Hun media seem to want Walter to come out of retirement to prevent 10 in a row.

[Ozyhibby]

Gerrard has made them money in Europe but not enough to cover the extra he is spending on the first team. The wage bill is now about £40m, up from £24m when he arrived. Europe is likely to have been worth about £15m for them which is good but all the extra money hasn’t got them nearer Celtic. In fact they are further away this year than last. And a lot of his signings are aging or look complete duds like Kent.

I think Gerard would have been off at the end of this season anyway. The only circumstance that might have made it advantageous for him to stay was if he had won the flag. Stopping Celtic buying ten in a row would sealed his place as a Hun immortal, and a crack at the CL would have been decent on his CV. It always has been about exit strategy, as it must when someone of that stature goes to an economically small football pond like Scotland. Gerard's is now going a bit ropey; no domestic trophies isn't a substantive improvement on what went on before. So all about teasing another performance or two out of the Europa if he's to put himself in the running for a top English job. If he had lifted the Scottish Cup and got a bit closer to Celtic, that might have been enough to get him a top job at a big but underperforming club like Arsenal. But he's now drifting into the Norwich/West Brom zone.

More chance of us keeping Docherty if he stays

Agree. New manager may want to see him before he lets him go.

Europe will save him this year.

I don't know many Rangers fans but the couple I do love him. He's barely laid a glove on Celtic in 2 seasons yet they think he is a saviour.

In head to head games they have been excellent against Celtic however unfathomably their form has 2 seasons in a row fallen off a cliff after the winter break. Whenever they have a poor result he questions the players possibly reasonable one or two times but not every game and doesn't appear to take any responsibility. Reading between the lines think he will leave at the end of the season and get an EPL job.

What a shame for Stevie G, as I said when he arrived he can walk alone alone for me as long as he manages that mob, he may be walking soon anyway.

[BoomtownHibees]

He has gotten them closer to Celtic.

I think they are further away than this time last season

Alternatively the new manager wants to free up funds to bring in new players. The downside of that is we would have to compete with bigger budgets down south.

[Is It On....]

"He [Stevie Gee] will be another manager who quits after being humiliated by a Hearts beating" 😂

[KingPat4]

He's fallen into the trap of blaming the players.

His team and his decision to drop Morelos. No way would have missed the game if it had been v Celtic.

Great manager destined for Merseyside though.

Tranmere Rovers.

[RoYO!]

He did get them closer to Celtic than in recent memory. However this has now spectacularly imploded. He's demonstrated he doesn't have the skills at this point in time to turn it around. He'll learn a lot from this spell. It's just that another team will reap the benefit.

Sorry if this has been covered- did he head down the tunnel early at Tiny?

He hasn't done his public image any favours, either by signing for that lot in the first place or regularly slating his players after they lose.

Pretty much straight down. Hearts completely blanked the Rangers bench choosing to go overboard celebrating with each other rather than shaking hands with Rangers bench. Gerard didn’t hang about to wait.

Listening to that, I get the feeling that if The Rangers got a serious bid for Morelos that they would take it. If so, maybe the purchase of a certain Swiss striker might be an option, not to replace Morelos but as back up to a main striker.

Tranmere Rovers.He has taken the second biggest spending team to a fairly distant second and won nothing. Not my definition of great

[Speedway]

If it's the player's fault because they don't want to win enough, who sanctioned their signing for the club and who prepares them physically and mentally for a game?

Slippy showing his immaturity in management here.

Kamberi will soon be having 2nd thoughts when they turn on him when continues spoiling promising attacks by getting caught offside, when he loses the ball with 1 too many stepovers and keeps falling over but not winning fouls.

That sounds exactly like Lennon with us after a bad result that you just described there.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Think he knows he's on a hiding to nothing at Ibrox plus, the club is a shambles from top to bottom behind the scenes compared to the well run global machine that is a leading EPL side such as Liverpool FC.

Glasgow and the old firm is just such a parochial soap opera and I think he is starting to grow weary of it all now.

Doesn't really matter if he achieves success or not up here as its just a pub league to those down south. Euro success is something that will have been noted though and he's still a superstar in the eyes of many.

I can see him taking over a club like Stoke or Blackburn and doing a reasonable job of revitalising them but I can't see him getting a gig in the Premiership straight from Rangers.

[Weegreenman]

I hope Gerrard leaves. I’m a massive Liverpool fan and you know that means he’s God like to us REDS. However he went down in my estimation when he joined the manky mob. It’s time to come home son.

We all make mistakes!

He’s shown himself to be a bit of ****er in all honesty.

Greetin faced & a very very sore loser.

Realistically, how would Gerard do at a Killie or St Johnstone
However much we dislike them, rangers is a massive gig and I was amazed he got this as a first job - don’t think you can count manager of Liverpool youth
Steven Gerrards Rangers (as they are now called) have really backed him (with money they don’t have) and haven’t really been rewarded

Exactly, they took advantage of a few clubs early doors, Hibs were in turmoil with a clueless clown, Hearts have been sheite all season but beat them twice.

Aberdeen started poorly and as did others. They have beaten most of the clubs they should beat, but overall league wise they are no better than they were under previous managers.

Europe is where they have done well, that is about to end.:greengrin

[007]

He'll stay until the scriptwriter (I wonder who that is) dreams up a plot line to facilitate his departure.

[cabbageandribs1875]

contract until summer 2024, would cost sevco a fortune to get rid, ain't going anywhere me thinks, unless a position opens up down south, i don't imagine he will go to a club that can't give him lots of money for players

I think that comes when ye cross the Ibrox threshold. He was a great player and a great ambassador for Liverpool but he’s definitely made a bad move going to that bigoted lot.

[JeMeSouviens]

Did Alex Ferguson not justify his opinion on Gerrard not being a "top, top player" based on him losing the plot a bit and going into headless chicken mode when things went badly?

Seems that particular trait may have stuck with him as a manager. :wink:

[Sergio sledge]

Not that I feel at all good defending Gerrard but, to be fair to him, Celtics form this season has been ridiculously good. If they keep up their current average points and goals totals then they'll only be 3 points behind Rodgers' unbeaten season in terms of points having scored more and conceded less than during the unbeaten season (all ignoring the fact that the last 5 games are generally harder games on average).

Rangers' form has fallen off a cliff since the winter break, but they've more points this season than Celtic had at the same point last season.

[theonlywayisup]

Another bad night for Gerard tonight. Bad result being beaten by Hamilton. Can imagine Huns.net is a hoot tonight!

[Irish_Steve]

And a win for us would have meant a 7 point gap between Hamilton and the Farts

If you Granny had balls and all that

Govan Galacticos lost to Hamilton, not possible. :tee hee:

That’s a shocking result fir The Rangers Their season has imploded since the break apart from Europe But that is likely to cost them more points as they play midweek and again at weekends

[Coco Bryce]

Even better that Morelos is utter ***** and his value is rapidly reaching nowt 😂😂

[theonlywayisup]

A very deflated Rangers manager, Steven Gerrard, has been speaking to the media in the last few minutes.

"I didn't think I could be more disappointed than I was after Hearts," he says. "But here I am, even more disappointed than I was a few days ago.

"I did lay down the gauntlet, I'll continue to do that. We've definitely got a dressing room that are shot of confidence. We've played ourselves into a rut. I've got a real tough job to pick that up and improve it from here.

"The dressing room is very quiet at the moment. Myself and my staff are flat because we're doing everything we can."

[Since452]

Would somebody please just think about Florian Kamberi ffs in all of this. He's joined the team he loves only to draw with St Johnstone and lose at home to the Accies. My heart ****ing breaks for the boy. He's not even sampled the best atmosphere in the world yet.

Hope you know that when you laugh at Rangers and Gerrard you're laughing at Flo too.

I want a round of applause on the 23rd minute at Pittodrie so we can show our support to him. Yes, I might resemble the Hearts plaza solo clapper but he's one of our own.

I find him to be quite complimentary as well - probably too complementary towards us as we've been generally gash against them during his time there.

I'm never going to like the Rangers manager (it goes with the position) but I can't wait for Gerrard to leave Rangers as I liked him as a player and I think he's a very good manager.

agree.

Always admired him as a player and he generally comes across okay, but as manager of that despicable mob ?

Nah! he's a welt!

as soon as he leaves he will turn back into a decent guy.

I felt the same about wee Gordon at Celtc, he turned into a twat when he joined them. Then he left and is okay again

goes with the territory I suppose, although Warburton is still a fanny.
