Not going to hide away. As Benny correctly says a complete and utter shambles!

First 45 it looked as if we had no idea what we were doing. We were waiting on Hearts making a mistake to capitalise on rather than trying to create ourselves.

Obviously haven’t the benefit of replays but was there a handball in build up to goal? Anyway only surprise was Hearts were only 1-0 up at break.

Second half was better, could not have been worse, Antmann huffed and puffed… Rothwell looked as if he was changing the game only to go off injured …. Gassama hits post… goal disallowed (looked scrappy and believe there was a foul on keeper) but all the time it looked as if Hearts could go up and score at anytime.
No idea regarding penalty as I’m opposite end. At game I thought it was a good shout but been told it’s soft but some you get some you don’t.

First time seeing hearts and they are by a considerable distance the best Scottish team I’ve seen this season. They looked fitter , stronger , bigger and technically better than Rangers. Braga was excellent and nice to see real quality player outwith the top 2

I doubt Hearts will maintain a serious league challenge (I honestly hope I’m wrong) but at the same time I’m struggling to see Rangers making up that 9 point gap. Good luck to them and Derek McInnes

Not sure about hand ball.
Disallowed goal looked soft.
I would have unhappy if Hearts got a goal disallowed for that
Clear penalty.Tapped on the ankle,not a lot but clearly tapped.
Whats the score with wee team playing in green and white hoops.

Martin is an absolute fraud of a manager. He is dreadful.

I agree with this, he has one game plan to continually to over play everything, why play 2 passes when you can play 10?

What I know of the SPL (which I'll admit is not great) is that it's a fast energetic league, I watched the end of Hibs/Dundee Utd tonight and it back up my theory.

Tippy Tappy overplaying football will not be successful unless your players are far superior than the opposition.

Russell Martin comes across as a very arrogant man who will not deviate from his plan even though it's clearly not working.

Sack him and get Danny Rohl in.

Against my better judgment I watched the highlights. The officiating was far worse than I thought. You know it’s bad when the goal scorer doesn’t celebrate and is clearly telling his team mates it’s hand ball. The disallowed Rangers goal , if anything , is the Keeper pushing the Rangers player. As for the penalty….Seen them given and there is possibly contact but very difficult to tell either way so reasonable to stick with onfield decision

I was laughed off here a few weeks back when I said Martin would be gone soon.

This has Mourinho written all over it, who is now a free agent. Martin is shite.

They cannot afford Jose, of whom has West Ham written all over him in my opinion.

Fans seem to want Gerrard back.

Who cannot afford Jose? It’s not 2024.
Rangers are now owned by one of the richest sporting franchises in World sport.

Jose has said as recently as last season he would be interested in managing in Scotland and still has close ties to the country after his time at Largs.

Right up until yesterday I’d have been opposed to this with my views on Mourinho but now I’d take just about anybody other than Russel Martin.

Personally I’d go for Kevin Muscat but maybe that boat has sailed. He’s been linked so many times but never even been interviewed.

I have to admit I thought the refs were trying to get Martin sacked. Your goal had fuck all wrong with it. The penalty i thought was one you wouldnt have got against you, it was soft at best. You were woeful right enough and lacked everything. If we don't get our finger out regarding woeful form, Hearts have a chance. It will be interesting to see if we continue to be a farce this afternoon. If we are, game on for Hearts. I think we will improve, but thats coming from a twat who thought we had to, and would, bring at least one striker on the final day. So clearly hasn't a fucking clue. Be fair to say we aren't in a happy place either. If we had your board we would be in a much better place. We are stuck with the Kelly and White 2025 reboot. They are the single biggest threat to us. And have been since Lawell put his fat arse on a seat in our club.

I try not to let it affect my wellbeing. So far, not exactly working out as I would hope. If we had fuck all money, it would be somewhat understandable. So, while all this glorious havoc is being played out with our pal's, it is impossible to fully bask in. That is cruel on more levels than should be allowed. Bunch of useless, suicidal, incompetent, over paid cunts. Who voted themselves huge pay rises at the last AGM. Need to stop now as I am making myself very angry thinking about it all.

I think you will find no one north of the border, didnt share that view. It was just a matter of time. Taking longer, but everybody knew it. If Hibs beat them next week, that will be it. Which will be a shame. I want us to start playing well, so I can fucking enjoy it. The world is beyond cruel.

It looked like that. Coupled with all the pundits on BBC, all Rangers fans except Bonner, all doing their bit to drive him out. A collective effort.

He surely won’t get the Hibs game. Ffs don’t depress me even more. He has to go and go now.

I still can’t believe that Hearts goal was given. You have the captain of Hearts telling team mates it’s hand ball. My mate watched it on hearts tv who said great finish but won’t stand for the hand ball. The RE teacher is going to have a hard time explaining this away on the VAR review show

Just for the record I’m not making excuses for Rangers. Absolutely pitiful performance and got exactly what they deserved from the game but the standard of officiating can’t be ignored

Is Nuno taking over or can rangers not afford to sack the David Brent of football?

Everybody thought that has to be it after another disgraceful show. But. Not a peep. Saturday not going your way, which, let's face it, would not be a surprise, even the Yanks couldn't ignore. If they do, you will be joining us in the sack the board chants.

I believe it’s £600,000 to sack this fraud. Has to be done and done now.

Europa League ticket packages for season ticket holders are out and it’s £170-£250 … there is no chance they are selling this out with him in charge.
