Midfield_General Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Rangers living very dangerously in the second leg in Greece. Backs to the wall stuff and now been caught in possession twice in their own box only for the striker to miss a sitter. Scottish commentators tearing their hair out over the risks they are taking. But still 2-0 up on aggregate. 1

Backs to the wall stuff and now been caught in possession twice in their own box only for the striker to miss a sitter. Scottish commentators tearing their hair out over the risks they are taking. But still 2-0 up on aggregate. Same as the first half last week. Expecting the same outcome. Martin is a natural at European football luring the Greeks in before delivering the hammer blow. Textbook.
Midfield_General Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) Pana get the ball in the net... VAR check for offside... Goal given. 1-0 Pana. 2-1 Rangers on aggregate. Ex-Saint Djuricic the goalscorer Edited July 30 by Midfield_General 1
Colinjb Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Would assume Ranger's fitness hasn't yet been destroyed by Martin's training methods, therefore they should hold on.
the wedge Posted July 30 Posted July 30 It's been like holding a mirror up to our defence from last season. Almost cathartic in its predictability. Interestingly Max Aarons has been dominated defensively so pleased we never got hold of him..!

Edit: And Rangers score. 1-1 🤣 Edited July 30 by Midfield_General
coalman Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) There's the Martin-stroke. Game changing sub and panic over. Any time now the meltdown and Pana down to ten. Edited July 30 by coalman
Midfield_General Posted July 30 Posted July 30 (edited) FT. 1-1 on the night, Rangers go through 3-1 on aggregate. Seriously rode their luck as they got carved open multiple times in both legs, but Pana missed a hatful of chances, Butland made some massive saves and Rangers were absolutely clinical when they got sight of goal. They gave up 36 shots on goal across both games though and will rarely get away with only conceding 1 over 180 minutes if they defend like that. Gassama scored off the bench in both games and looks like an excellent signing at £2.2m. Edited July 31 by Midfield_General
Dusic Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Good win in a difficult tie. Rangers recruitment certainly looks better than previous years. Think they will have a good season under RM.
SaintStinger Posted July 30 Posted July 30 26 minutes ago, Colinjb said: That Panathinaikos goalscorer looks familiar. Ah yes Duricic. One of the loans Koeman bought, along with Eljero Elia that I thought were a bit of a disappointment in the end. Pretty much like most signings these days. 1

Holmes_and_Watson Posted July 30 Posted July 30 A good season will be to run Celtic closer, pick up a cup and to get pennies from a Euro competition. They desperately need the European revenue, while their fans demand a contest at least for the title. Even if they don't win it this season, some improvement has to be seen.

I think it would still be considered a good (but not great) season if they closed the currently considerable gap between the two clubs even if they were still 2nd.

Not according to my Rangers mates - it’s winning those games is all that counts to them. If they lose those but narrow gap they won’t be happy.

hypochondriac Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Delicious. Imagine when they concede by ducking about at the back against celtic. 1 1
Saint_lambden Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Classic. 65% possession but massively lost xG and the shot count plus racked up 4 yellows. They'll get through next round of UCL v Plzen but he'll be hounded out soon enough.

HarvSFC Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Booed off at full time after the first game of the season. Motherwell, 38% possession, but more shots and the same amount of shots on target. I don't get what enjoyment Martin himself has watching his football every week. On another note, Slattery played in the match. Forgot he existed. Once very highly rated here, but has been at Motherwell since he left us four years ago, so hasn't fulfilled his potential.

Saint86 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 (edited) "Lucky to get a point" "Braver than us, i am very disappointed and hurt by that". (Course you are Russel) Had a real go at the players for their mentality. The players "need to drop their egos". "He's surprised and angry" - said with classic smug martin smile.
