Killie prove you can get at this Rangers team

I watched Kilmarnock previous home game against Inverness, as shambolic a defensive performance as I have seen in the SPL.  Shipping six goals against the team who were, and remain, bottom of the league is the kind of result that can decimate team morale, but St Johnstone’s result at Ibrox last week offered some encouragement that you can get at this this Rangers team.

It’s worth pointing out a few things.  Rangers are still four points clear at the top of the league, if we were in that position we would rightly be delighted and confident.  Pascali’s goal for Kilmarnock was also only their second goal conceded in eight SPL away games and only their seventh overall in 16 games – getting on for half a season.  By comparison, Celtic have conceded 14 goals, including three at Kilmarnock.

While that defensive record is commendable, the loss of Steven Naismith leaves them disproportionately dependent on Nikica Jelavic to maintain their goal-scoring threat, and Jelavic is not known for season-long durability.

When news came through that Sone Aluko had paid his transfer fee to become a Rangers player few of us expected him to make as quick an impact on the league table as he has, single-handedly playing three Kilmarnock players onside at the goal.  This is an unfortunate start to the player’s Rangers career but Rangers fans have a reputation for scapegoating (among other things).  For some, Aluko’s card is marked.  He’ll need a lot of talent to recover from this one.

    Your money is safe, unless you want to donate it anyways :>)

     

     

    True Tims are never so negative, take Neganon2 for instance, he lives up to his name by and large by criticising the suits, but he always gives reasons and offers an opinion and an alternative, he is a true Tim, yer man just slags off everything Celtic, true Tims don’t do that, and true Tims do not accept freebie corparate hospitality at the bigot dome, and true Tims do not slag of Celtic supporters for coughing again at the bigot dome.

    they are all horrible…this one is more contemporary and prominant…a clue – I’m in my mid 40s..

     

     

    But it’s all in my brother’s mind…funny thing is he and I look like each other – a fact that is lost on him when he starts giving me abuse about my Hun doppelganger

  7. Jinky was my hero on

    Well what a weekend, predicted last night that the Killie had a chance, took 1-0 HT and 1-0 FT, what a bummer 45/1! the other spread bets much the same with hitting the bar on 3 of them! Still what does a few quid matter in comparison to see the manky mob start to struggle.

     

     

    Implode was the word I used last night and I will stick by it, a few more injuries and they are F*****D, lets see how they handle a little bit of pressure.

     

     

    The good times are coming people keep the faith.

     

     

    Hail Hail!

    Probably not a popular but Hart’s saves today were no better than Fraser’s saves against Rennes.

    Ok, I geddit.

     

     

    Cultsbhoy is a doppelganger of Carlos Cuellar (the clue was prominent, as in teeth).

    Caesar67- Rob McLean was at Celtic Park yesterday, front row of the press box, his TV commentary tonight would have been recorded to suit the videotape.

     

    Last week he was at Inverness and Paisley at the same time. Clever guy.

    I probably have more of a dislike for PL than he does, when do I ever put the boot in to the players, manager or his staff ?

     

     

    I put the boot into the board and their flawed policy [imo] but to summarly slag off everything Celtic does not make a Tim in my book, sorry but can’t be with you on this, but like a Tim I will not fall out with you over it :>)))

  38. TootingTim on

    Blantyre Tim,

     

     

    OK so you know the guy and he’s a nailed on tim. Probably been to dozens upon dozens of games, right? (Unless you mean Bibendum when you say Tyre bhoy? Nah thought not:)). Something in your post is hinting at him having unimpeachable credentials, is that correct?
