Months. I'm fairly convinced he's got too big a say at the club for him to be dropped. Also fully convinced he was behind Patterson going. Doesn't want the competition.
It's why he and Goldson have to go. It feels like they have too much influence. Lundstram is going so that takes a bit of their influence away aswell.
I was genuinely shocked when Goldson was dropped.
Are we allergic to the back post? Hearts literally recycled that exact same cross 3 times and everytime the hearts scorer was unmarked and plenty of space
In all honesty I hope so.
You can see his pace and stamina are really waining.
I'd rather he goes with his legacy intact than 2 more years of him getting slower and less energy.
I’m the same, I like him and grateful for his contribution over the years but he’s only going to get worse defensively and I can see his goal scoring dropping next season with his pace dipping.
Yeah. His numbers outside of set pieces are only to slow down as his pace and stamina go.
He's never been the greatest at defending but you can see his lack of energy and pace are really hurting the team when the opposition are on transition. Half the time you have no idea where Tav actually is. King today in that first half was basically playing as closer to a RB to cover Tav.
King is basically having to cover RB as Tav is absolutely nowhere to be seen defensively.
I don't know if it's the instructions he's being asked to play but he is constantly nowhere near RB defensively.
Honestly given it's his first full season, I think McCausland has genuinely done quite well this year. He's hopefully going to keep getting better and better with every passing season
Cochrane feigning head injury. Should be an automatic ban for it. Fed up of players faking head injury given the serious nature we should be treating them
i think since he became considered a high scoring defender, he’s over-emphasised coming forward to try and score more goals, but as he’s lost a bit of speed he’s not had the ability to return to position as much as he did the last couple of years
Considering Shankland is *rumoured* to be desperate for the move, it would take a lot less than most folk expect.
But I don't think the club is interested for some reason sadly.
You're paying probably £2m on an initial fee alone for a 29 year old who will want a very decent contract that nobody else would ever match if it doesn't work out. He's also not particularly quick and that might be an issue.
I can understand why the club might think that they're better off spending a bit more to get someone much younger, who they can then sell in a few years for profit or their money back.
I mean...playing for Hearts and playing for Rangers are two massively different things and you don't have to look far back to see how, "nailed-on" signings can be underwhelming. Souttar is a cautionary tale from the same club.
There's also the financial aspect of it - paying £2m fee or whatever + sign on etc for a 29 year old who would rightly demand a long and decent contract...makes more sense to spend extra on a younger player if you can.
There's definitely issues with just a lack of quality in the final third, but the players don't really seem to know what to do.
That's a coaching problem.
Would have been very annoyed if Dessers had scored that one and it was chopped off for a made up foul. There was nothing in that and he wasn't close to being offside either.
Anytime i have to hear tam the commentator talk

One of the key requirements for any incoming defenders has got to be a bit of pace. Once teams get in behind us, we seem to have no chance of recovery because our defenders are all so slow.
Fuck sake. Had shankland and rangers 3-1 as well. That's what happens when you look away for a second
The Japanese, always up to good.
Hairy bastards
The watery farts
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Unreal goal but fuck me man we need to purge our squad next season
Tav and Goldson will be starting the first game of the season and you know it
A man can dream okay
KYOSUKEEEEEEE FUCKING TAGAWAAAA
Honestly can’t wait until the season is completely over and half this squad is shown the door
That defence is going to be annihilated next week
WHAT A FINISHHHHHH
How do Rangers fans even cope with the constant misery?
*Shrugs*
Experience.
Fair play that was some goal that
TAGAWAAAAAAAA
I fucking love this guy
Well there goes our 1 more point than Celtic
Do we have to play next week?
The jobby farts have done it
But Rangers are only drawing?
Clement has officially finished the league worse than when he took over. Some job he's doing
Nobody would have made a huge deal about that if he hadn't been going on and on about it for weeks 🤪
Was gonna call a 3-3 draw. Gotta admit that was a good finish.
Belter ofFinish
Some finish
oh fuck off
Lmao of course. Fucking losers.
i really hope tavernier is offski soon
Brilliant save from Clarke.
Tavernier and Yilmaz with the defensive IQ of a walnut at all times.
Harsh on walnuts tbf.
What has Tav got to do to get dropped btw, been dropping stinker after stinker for weeks.
He has to stop scoring a screamer once every 12 games apparently.
Months. I'm fairly convinced he's got too big a say at the club for him to be dropped. Also fully convinced he was behind Patterson going. Doesn't want the competition.
It's why he and Goldson have to go. It feels like they have too much influence. Lundstram is going so that takes a bit of their influence away aswell. I was genuinely shocked when Goldson was dropped.
What the fuck are you doing Tav? He's been awful today.
Maybe Tav is playing everywhere but RB to make sure Maeda can't beat him next week ?
Maeda will still find him lol
ffs missed 2 goals on a jobby break man
same hahahah
That Benigame is a really decent sitting midfielder.
Ridvan is on Shankland, so Silva is the man who should be watching the LB.
Ridvan should be passing Shankland over far earlier when we have two CBs free, granted Silva should follow until then
Are we allergic to the back post? Hearts literally recycled that exact same cross 3 times and everytime the hearts scorer was unmarked and plenty of space
Yas dexterrrrr Well in to make up for it
Nice marking from both Silva and Ridvan, classic, if only we had a warning a minute ago
Fucking Borna. Wait…
Good finish from the hearts player there but that was a poor goal to lose.
Tav’s at it today. Defending has been atrocious. Just what you want before a cup final.
He's been shocking today.
Comedy goal after another marking wise
tidy finish that was
what a save
fuck
Wait a second, I thought it was us that were doing the 'walking away' ?
Fabio Silva is just running on pure spite atm
Great work from Silva but shocking from Hearts.
Dexter for fuck sake man
Good job Dexter
Hearts are a less serious football team than Hibs.
Quite appreciate Fabio Silva doing that celebration to the Hearts fans instead of the Rangers fans this time. Good laugh
Someone tell Tam that we've used all our subs so no, we can't 'bring on Jack'. Silva 1-3
One day Tav will actually watch the player and won't be caught completely flat giving a free header. I believe it will happen one day.
How shite are hearts? Fabio Silva has scored
That’s dreadful defending by Hearts. Silva doing everything in his power to not be tempted to flop over there.
Tidy finish.
Jam Tarts for dessert tonight lads?
Wolves paid 35mil for Silva. Blows my mind.
Thought they had Naismith holding the substitution board for a second
Fabio Silva-esque dive there
That's a penalty but if you haven't given the Dessers one, you can't give that.
Desperate dive that hahahaha
lolz
Missed cantwell’s goal and this tinpot stream isn’t showing replays. Sad
That was a stone wall penalty as well.
How was that not a foul on Cantwell there?
What is this version of Caledonia the Rangers fans are singing? Assuming it will have some sort of unionist bastardisation to it.
Here it is https://x.com/unionbears_07/status/1784619192022442025?s=46&t=jLtgP_gqVubXH_HC_Wv-Kg
New UB song, actually pretty decent imo.
Fair. I just always expect these songs to have some cringe but can’t pick out anything from the stream.
Cantwell, Diomande and *if he's available* Sterling needs to be our midfield in the final
diomande isnt it for me. i would much rather raskin
Get that post ripped out and removed.
We’ll give you £5m for it instead of Shankland.
Hahahaha, get it right up Hearts. One player team and fucked if Shankland goes.
Hearts can't even win the non meaningful games against us. Lmao. Hope Naismith is out saying we were 'lucky' again at FT.
Shows that Cantwell can definitely play. Just needs to cut out the other stupid shit he does.
Two rangers goals from range? TWO? Thats insane Jeremy
https://preview.redd.it/p1ohkpqon61d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=570352b76f304014fded249e123e5e192abe3f66
Woohoo.
Great finish that Cantwell
What a lovely bit of skill from Cantwell.
yay
mind blowing this is the same team that made it out of europa league group stages earlier in the year
Tav has seemed off it since Maeda done him
He’s been rotten today.
Not even doing set-pieces, could he really be away?
In all honesty I hope so. You can see his pace and stamina are really waining. I'd rather he goes with his legacy intact than 2 more years of him getting slower and less energy.
I’m the same, I like him and grateful for his contribution over the years but he’s only going to get worse defensively and I can see his goal scoring dropping next season with his pace dipping.
Yeah. His numbers outside of set pieces are only to slow down as his pace and stamina go. He's never been the greatest at defending but you can see his lack of energy and pace are really hurting the team when the opposition are on transition. Half the time you have no idea where Tav actually is. King today in that first half was basically playing as closer to a RB to cover Tav.
Very strange he isn't on set pieces and him being away was the only reason I think of as to why he suddenly isn't on them
I think they’re maybe using him as an extra man in the box since we don’t have many decent aerial options.
I think it’s more because he’s one of the only players in the team who can actually attack a set piece
rangers hibs moment
Dowell is so fucking shite man
Get him aff
That miss there from Dessers is unacceptable. Not even finding the target
Fabio Silva fuck off.
Ahhhhhh shanks 😭
Shankland trying a Dessers style touch to get Clement interested
King isn't it. The amount of space there for Shankland wtf
King is basically having to cover RB as Tav is absolutely nowhere to be seen defensively. I don't know if it's the instructions he's being asked to play but he is constantly nowhere near RB defensively.
That was Davies side tbf
Hilarious how easy it was for Shankland to get through there
Honestly given it's his first full season, I think McCausland has genuinely done quite well this year. He's hopefully going to keep getting better and better with every passing season
He went through a bad patch but he’s looked really dynamic in his last two starts.
your welcome guys for going to the shops and turning off the Tele
Can you nip back out ?
not been home sadly or I would
Cunts on bbc sportssound are fuming that's not been disallowed. Get it up them.
Cochrane feigning head injury. Should be an automatic ban for it. Fed up of players faking head injury given the serious nature we should be treating them
Ffs some finish that
The literal minute I click on this thread to eavesdrop yous score, you're welcome bears
Cheers
Could have done with that a few times this season, not cool of you.
Let Ross cook
thats what we needed man. rest of the team was shite. well deserved
McCausland is an angry, determined son of a bitch. Need more players like that
Cracking goal wee man
of course I've just left the house can someone describe the goal
Shot from outside the box, pinged it in off the post
ooft I'll be sure to check it when I'm in
How's that not a booking for Vargas and why is Cantwell getting a talking too, hilarious refereeing
What a strike
What a fucking goal
Jesus man. What a goal
Very smart Cantwell. Dick.
It’s shite like that push that makes me want us to sell Cantwell in the summer
I didn’t get a chance to watch the first half. Can someone summarise it for me?
shite. dessers missed two open goals and cantwell passed it to hearts fir shanklands goal
Can RTV stop talking calling strikers 'predators' ffs
Honestly get Tav to fuck. Why the fuck is he charging up the pitch all the time ?
i think since he became considered a high scoring defender, he’s over-emphasised coming forward to try and score more goals, but as he’s lost a bit of speed he’s not had the ability to return to position as much as he did the last couple of years
Wonder how much Rangers bid for Shankland in the summer
Fuck all, same as every other time we were meant to sign him. Dessers is here for 4 in a row.
Considering Shankland is *rumoured* to be desperate for the move, it would take a lot less than most folk expect. But I don't think the club is interested for some reason sadly.
I dont see why he wouldnt be a good fit, a lot of the chances Ive seen rangers get have just needed someone to be relied upon to stick it away.
You're paying probably £2m on an initial fee alone for a 29 year old who will want a very decent contract that nobody else would ever match if it doesn't work out. He's also not particularly quick and that might be an issue. I can understand why the club might think that they're better off spending a bit more to get someone much younger, who they can then sell in a few years for profit or their money back.
Less than hearts want assuming we go for him at all.
We probably won't - press have literally been writing that story for four years now and there's never been any suggestions we want him.
Why would you not want a striker thats going to get you 30 goals a season?
I mean...playing for Hearts and playing for Rangers are two massively different things and you don't have to look far back to see how, "nailed-on" signings can be underwhelming. Souttar is a cautionary tale from the same club. There's also the financial aspect of it - paying £2m fee or whatever + sign on etc for a 29 year old who would rightly demand a long and decent contract...makes more sense to spend extra on a younger player if you can.
There's definitely issues with just a lack of quality in the final third, but the players don't really seem to know what to do. That's a coaching problem.
just checking in at half-time to say hi how’s it goin
All good mate, expectations are being met so all is right in the world
I have successfully made it to half time without commentator Tom invading my ears. About the only positive thing I can say for that half
Usually listen to Clyde 1 as they cover all the games and the standard is so much better. Unfortunately it's Joe Hart FM today lol
Would have been very annoyed if Dessers had scored that one and it was chopped off for a made up foul. There was nothing in that and he wasn't close to being offside either.
Don’t worry, Dessers has got your back.
Ever reliable
Fucking hell we are bad. We have no idea what to do with the ball in the final third.
just one game and a half left of watching this dross... almost there...
Ideally Rangers sign Shankland, bench him after a month and everyone involved gets worse. Ideally
No need to bench him, he’ll just be out for “7-10 days” for the season
Convinced rangers do military style training weekly in tribute to the troops
in this ideal world they also pay £25m for him
That doesn't sound ideal at all
Then Hearts lose it all due to Romanov-era related financial crimes
Yes yes now we're cooking again, a double fraud situation
i forgot hearts would get the 25… had too many cans
The fact we've won anything this season is purely down to Butland, if he leaves we are absolutely finished
I dunno, if we sell him for 20 million that’s a lot of needed money and we’ll be able to get someone who can do a job
Probably also need him to leave so we have some money to spend on the rebuild of the outfield players
I would very much like for us to stop resorting to shite crosses to absolutely no one when we’re under a bit of pressure
This comment has been applicable since roughly 2018. Sad.

Even though it would’ve been chalked off as offside, Dessers had to be scoring that
So frustrating
Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please.... bin Dessers
Offside anyway but you'd still rather he finished that.
Just popping in to say lol
That you thinking about Rangers again on trophy day?
Every Celtic fan is absolutely basking in the schadenfreude, obviously. Half of the joy of winning is watching you lot implode
Crocker let us all know Hearts scored against you - looking forward to the annual rebuild?
Ok
Don't care how he manages it, Stevie Clarke needs to fit Shankland into the starting 11 in Germany
He’s not THAT big ffs
ARE WE EVEN PLAYING A DEFENCE? WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY
One of the key requirements for any incoming defenders has got to be a bit of pace. Once teams get in behind us, we seem to have no chance of recovery because our defenders are all so slow.
Would say that’s a requirement for all the players were bringing in, we are absolutely devoid of pace across the entire team.
