Whittaker is a pretty steady player, but to give him such an expensive contract was just nuts. I've got my opinions as to why the club acted in such an imprudent way with him but I am forbidden from giving an honest opinion about the club as by defaco it makes me a timposter.

The Rangers defence should obtain a restraining order on Whittaker and make sure he doesn't come within 40 feet of the 18 yard line. He's oor latest bombscare. If Boogie needs a lift to the airport then give me a shout...wouldn't want him missing that flight. Let's ask if the Qatari's want a 2 for the price of one deal and smuggle Whitts oot in the dead of night.

Harsh but fair comment. Nacho Novo repeatedly scored important goals that got Rangers millions. Whittakers dreadful first game performance then red card, i would agree he is the player most responsible for the overall loss. I like him too as a player, but if he got put up for sale, i for one wouldnt weep.

I would view this as more a statement from Ally about who is in charge, mistakes will happen but throwing the ball at a player on the ground in such a crucial game - no matter who they are "get tae f ***"

Fergie has done this for years at Man u - many a player has been booted out for less

Ally - time tae act

I said in a recent article that not cashing in on Whittaker was bad business for you.

Other players must look at his deal and think...if he's worth that then so am I.

He's a liability.

Remember him knocking in the odd goal in the UEFA cup run when he was allowed to play up the park a bit...should have tried that tonight.

He's cost Rangers £20m in a month

So, does that me Whittaker is worth £20 million???

*me* sorry should've read 'mean'

I think we should buy whittaker, we need someone who can consistently score a penalty. Sub him on before taking it then sub him straight back off.

Didn't watch the game, but did Rangers not score after Whittaker got sent off? If thats the case surely you would have fancied yourselves 1-1and 10 v 10 against Malmo?
My point is, Boogie gets binned for smashing a guy in the head therefore leaving you a man down, but everybody seems to me slaughtering Whittaker.
Just wondering like.

My thoughts on the team;

Thank God Boogie is going, he's been a bombscare since he came back from the world cup.

Please, please, please get rid of Edu - he can't pass, trap, go round a defender. Everytime he's on the pitch, it's like the opposite team are guaranteed to take the ball off him. He's even too short to use as a corner flag.

We have a good backbone to the team with MacGregor, Davis, Jelly, Naismith, Papac, but the rest for me are just passengers. If we could afford to waste good money on Goodwillie, for goodness sake get Wylde signed up.

Ally is right, we need bodies and we need them NOW!! Our players are ageing and we need new blood, to keep the team up to scratch. Get these transfer targets sorted out, and stop letting them take the p!ss.

Give Cuellar 24 hrs - if no deal, drop it. We urgently need a decent striker (if Jelly is injured, we're sunk), and we need a couple of defenders and a least one more midfielder.

Celtic fans and pundits are asking how long will Ally last, if the situation is not dealt with, I can see him walking. How can he do a job for us, with a team in this position?

GET IT SORTED OUT!!

DalraedaGael,

It was never 10v10. We were always at least one man down.

And we scored despite Whittaker not because of him. If he'd kept the head we'd have won that match.

I don't think anyone is giving Bougherra an easy time, it is just that Whittaker has made at least one mistake in EVERY game this season so far.
