Only if us, the gunts and sheep are consistent and capable of regularly taking points from the old firm.

According to the bookies we won’t even get third.:rolleyes:
Top six but not the top three imho
Hopefully get the boyband back together and win a cup if the draw is good to us
🙏
I think we will need to improve to hold on to third place.
We had an incredible run for a few months but there is loads to improve on. We weren’t lucky during that period, we earned what we got, but the momentum played a big part and it’s really difficult to get that. We’ll need to win more games to get third next season I think.
Say it every year, but we need to get it spot on this summer. Good thing is there is something positive to build from this year.
Just top 6 wouldn't be great imo. Aberdeen have been poor for months and now have European group stage football by somehow winning the cup. Hearts were in a relegation fight until a few weeks before the last game. They might get a new manager bounce but who knows. Hibs look to be best place for 3rd again imo.Quote:

Are you basing that on odds to win the league? Not the same as betting for who will finish 3rd (win league without the top 2), which won't be priced up for a while yetQuote:

For what it's worth I very much doubt that SDG and MM are thinking that third place is good enough and I'm quite certain that Tim Bezbatchenko won't be either. I'd imagine they'll know that they are in the early days of creating an ethos of being afraid of no-one and expecting to win every game. Bit like Fergie did at Aberdeen back in the day, first and foremost he had his players believing they could beat anyone and I'm pretty confident that's what our management team are attempting to create.Quote:

If we retain or adequately replace Triantis and Rocky and bring in a third forward who scores goals.. we are massive favourites for third in my mind. In the last 18 games we lost three of them.. and two of those were Celtic. Buying Jamie McGrath weakens Aberdeen and strengthens us. Hearts are Hearts… we will be the strongest non Glasgow team.

Could be some fun times ahead…
Looking at social media the Huns are quite underwhelmed at the prospect of Russell Martins appointment as their manager.Quote:

Did we not just spend the season ripping into Dhanda for claiming they could split the old firm? There’s absolutely no chance we get anywhere near second place, we’ll do incredibly well to finish 3rd again.
Edit - Apologies it appears Dhanda said they could go past them both 😂 What a tit.
Russell Martin in charge at a team with a budget advantage like Rangers is an interesting and potentially frightening prospect. With what he was able to do at MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton, I reckon there's half a chance we see a game where one team has 90% posession and 1000 passes next season. They might only win that game 2-0 with five shots on target, mind. :faf:Quote:

I appear to be in the minority but I think Martin will be a good appointment
Unsure why they’re so angry at it
They probably wanted pwopa huns like Bomber Brown or Bazza to get the gig. Folk who understand their tradishuns.Quote:

3rd is Hibs to lose IMO. Even a ***** Rangers team who punted their manager and had Barry Ferguson managing them finished 17 points clear of us in 2nd. No chance.
Agreed. Potentially a decent choice as manager.Quote:

Going to a team who are used to dominating the ball in Scotland will suit him and the way he plays.Quote:
