The cry was no defenders

Rangers fans seem to be pretty happy with Goian and 'Boca'. Are they kidding themselves on or do you you really think these guys are good....serious question.

Boca is slower than Big Davie....that desperate foul just over the half way line on Saturday showed that. He knew the Aberdeen boy was about to run away from him. Other than the lack of pace, he is solid enough

Big Goian is a different kettle of fish though. He would give Loovens a run for his money. He turned his back on the shot for the goal at the weekend when he could have blocked it. He sold a goal at St Mirren when he just let the striker run across him...no questions asked. Are Rangers fans happy with him?

As for Bartley...he can't get a job as a centre half for Arsenal or Rangers..so that says it all.

Papac of course is solid as always (but probably going in the summer).

The result is that Rangers would need to score a lot of goals to win the league this year. Nae chance.

Funny that

I thought we had the best defensive record in the league....and Goian and Boca have played in there virtually every week.

hmm???

St3vie...Celtic had the best defensive record in the league last season...and we had Loovens in! Goes for nothing...mainly caused by the fact that other teams are rubbish at attacking and some good goal keeping

We'll see who has the best defensive record come the end of the season.

In the last 10 SPL games, Rangers have lost 8 goals. Celtic have conceded 3.

Your defense chopped and changed like nobody's business last season....you had Mark Wilson, Majstorovic, Mulgrew, Loovens, Rogne and Hooiveld all playing at CB...Loovens only made about 20 appearances last season, so dont feed me that garb.

Yes we will see who has the best defensive record at the end of the season......I just find it strange that someone is slating our two centre backs when they have been regulars in the best defense in the league...doesnt quite add up

Goian and Boca haven't looked too good since Ally abandoned Wally's negative 4-5-1 tactics.

In fact they've looked pretty crap.

Its called a bad patch mate.....everything about the team has been pretty crap this past month or so.

If it continues till the end of the season then yes.....but as I said on another thread, Celtic's brilliant winning run has coincided with our worst run of results this season...magnifies things a little....but we are only 4 points behind, and let me repaeat that, a mere 4 points behind you....its hardly a case of having to swim the atlantic to catch you

More nonsense.

It was after Naismith got injured that Ally started playing more defensive sides. And its since then that we've gone through a bad patch.
