Anyone think if Rangers win on Sunday its a massive step to crushing Celtic? Yes its early in the season but listen up...
If we go 4 clear, Celtic will be dealt a big blow. Providing they stay in Europa league, which i hope they do btw then they will have to play Thursday Sunday another 5 times at least and im sure 4 out of 5 are away games. They have yet to go to ICT Mwell Dun Utd. Rangers have won there already. A win on Sunday can spur us on and try extend our lead. By the time xmas comes we could maybe be 6 points plus clear. I know its all guesswork but i really think a win on Sunday would be massive. A draw would be ok but i would be disappointed. 4 clear in September? Sounds great.
Win- 4 Points Clear

How can you be stronger You lost players and brought in diddies
If only we had players that you had against ST.JohnstoneCeltic/Rangers are crammed full of ordinary players, and the title will be close again because of this.

I know both sides have dross in their ranks, but the guy just came out with some nonsense about Rangers being a "better" side than last season.... based on what? Losing the cardigan, various players and bringing in no quality!
Celtic's consistency is their downfall, not the strength of Rangers.

Who have we lost? Who would play on Sunday were they still at Ibrox? Seriously, our squad is stronger this season than last year.
How can you say we've brought no quality in? What has Goian done to suggest he's not a step up? Likewise Bocanegra and Wallace.
With Bedoya, Ortiz and McKay there's fees may have been low but so was Izzaguire's. When he signed last year no one knew if he would be good or not, time will tell if we have bought wisely or not but for now the jury has to be out.
We have gone 5 matches without conceeding already, equalling last seasons best run. That does not suggest a weakened team to me.

And Maribor and Malmo????
Without 'whitabootery' if you please

Different leagues, Malmo came to early. Maribor we should have won. McCoist made mistakes over there to allow them back into that game and we had 17 shots on goal at Ibrox. When was the last time we did that?
In European terms we have been abysmal and McCoist will need to improve next year, domestically we have been good and sit top of the league as a result.
As we are talking about the SPL, the comments made before stand.
Good enough for you?
Now, explain Lennon's poor performance in Europe and the defeat against St Johnstone whilst showing Celtic are stronger. no "whitabootery"......

Okay if it's the league...last season you won the first 11 games in a row

TCD- You won the first 10, who's weaker then?
I'd suggest an opening day draw against the third placed team is less of a concern than a home defeat to a team that hadn't scored all season until then and hadn't beaten you since the introduction of the offside rule.
Why did you not answer my question about Lennon? You asked for no whitabootery then do it yourself. Poor form.....

Your team is worse, your management is weaker and come Sunday, you'll still have no idea how to beat Celtic. This nonsense about Rangers having a batter first 11.... prove it!
Cause I've seen no evidence of that at all. I'll say it again...
Celtic downfall has been our lack of consistency... not a "strong" Rangers

Bougherra-Goian as good so far. No nonsense no mazy runs
Diouf- Come on, seriously? He did nothing for us
Weiss- Wylde has proven just as effective as Weiss was.
Sure we've lost Smith, however McCoist had years working under him to get the knowledge from him and it's not as if he cannae pick up the phone if he needs some advcie ahead of Sunday.
