    What's your opinion on the new signings, are the up for it?
    No.
    Newell is weak
    James is far too casual
    Doidge is James Collins mk II
    Jackson is ok but his passing last week was pathetic.
    Vela showed promise in the League Cup. Pathetic in the League games.
    Maxwell... who knows but he looks a touch over weight to me?

    It's fair to say that no manager would get an easy ride after a result like today, but should Paul get a bit of leeway due to his results so far?

    Or does his style of football have alarm bells ringing, regardless of results?

    The days of looking forward to games at Ibrox are now over and we'd better get used to it.
    Is there any way that we can still spin and twist things to blame Lennon for today's shambles?

    His decision to sub two of our most creative players was bizarre to say the least, I want to hear his excuses after that.

    Sub standard players brought in and an ageing defence were utterly useless today.

    Embarrassing to say the least.
    Shookily peg territory and I can’t see us improving dramatically.

    Sadly we are going backwards under Hecky.

    Being brutally honest all of his signings are not good enough.

    Not looking good.

    One horrendous defeat that's all. The new players need to learn from this.. and fast. Rangers have been on fire this season, sadly.
    How, they have beaten some questionable teams in Europe and were far from convincing against Killie (last min winner) whom got beat by Hamilton. Today they started without Morelos (thank god) and went with a 37 year old player who years ago couldn’t get into the Bournemouth squad.

    We came out the better team second half, playing in their half for first 10 mins. Shocking ball out from Rocky and we're hemmed in again. Then from maybe the next move Mackie has us out the game with that moment of madness. Thought he played quite well until then. Can't understand the sub from Hecky. We were already a midfielder down and struggling to contain their midfield as it was. The sub should have been Doidge off Kamberi on. Shocking

    There’s no chance he’ll be sacked now. Remaining time in the window and he’s just signed a whole new team. He’ll get a chance to sort it out after today, which I think is fair.

    I didnt think the starting line up was that bad but his decisions during the game haven't helped him, mackie should have been off at half time, newell should have been off also, then to take the only 2 players who were actually half decent was mental
    Newell was subbed at HT

    Calderwood all over again.

    Listen to his interviews, I’m not convinced by anything he says at all.

    Looks way out of his depth and I wouldn’t be disappointed if he left.

    His decision to take allan off is enough for me. This is his team. It isnt good enough.

    I posted a positive viewpoint this week about the manager and the season ahead. I'll stand by that for now. I still think that out with Celtic Rangers and Aberdeen we will be ok.

    I also think, however, there is a very strong possibility that Heckingbottom has completely underestimated this league. What really concerns me is that if results start to tumble the fans will make it impossible for Heck to continue. Good Rangers or bad rangers , that result is unacceptable. That's a few times now Heck has not had a clue how to start a game against a big rival.

    Yours sincerely,
    A worried Hibee

    The warning signs were there at the end of last season. But people chose not to see it because too many just accept mediocrity. Well, it’s worse than that now. Signings pathetic, squad no pace, lack of attacking options, no idea how to set a team up.

    We laugh at Levein for being crap, but look at the pathetic manager we’ve got too. Dempster will need to accept she got this one wrong and move on. There is no point in him staying because he’s not capable of doing better. He’s just a bad manager.

    He’s clueless. Get him out!

    One up front at home v st Mirren

    Down to 10 men at Ibrox and he has 2 strikers on the park. Incredible decision.

    Newell - murder

    Doidge - we paid money for him?? Horrendous.

    Poor performance but the sending off gave total control of the game to Rangers. Taking off Allan was a strange decision unless he was injured. We lost what little shape we had after he went off. I don’t know why he changed a winning team. His signings don’t look like an upgrade on what we had last season. Like many others I’m not convinced by him or his tactics

    He went 2 up top to try and salvage the game - it backfired spectacularly and we capitulated last 10 or so

    we were very much in the game before Mackies stupidity

  27. #56
    We were really poor first half but actually managed to get back into it with the goal, we ended the first half well and started the second well.

    Mackies red and then Heckingbottoms decision to take Allan off for Kamberi killed us.

    Allan appeared to be carrying s knock but to me the obvious sub was Slivka.

    playing a 432 when rangers were already dominating the midfield for most the game was a brave (stupid) decision.

    We need a lot more steel, pace and creativity in our team.

    He did hold his knee when making a block from a cross out left - i thought he was done then

    went off to get treated when we were down to 10 men

    presuming he was injured

    Horgan only every lasts around 60-70 mins - made sense to take him out

    Using League cup games as glorified friendlies was bad enough, the performances there should've been a wake up call that something isn't right. People talk about recruitment team but the manager always has final say, Newell, Doidge, Jackson and James are all his signings probably from his knowledge down south, Vela comes with credentials and just looks a bit behind fitness wise. Generally other teams pick up wee gems from down south but rarely they try and sign 4-5 of them, we still need ed around 4 players who knew the Scottish game, I'd have gone for Shankland.

    I think we should wait and see how the next 5 or 6 games go. Today was an embarrassment however and he should be feeling the pressure. No excuses for him now, this is his own team. And I have to say none of the new signings look up to the mark. Hope I’m wrong and they come good but they look like squad players at best not players who are going to come in and improve the team and start every game. Shocking and the next few results will be telling.
