Darren fairly upbeat re the play-off 2nd leg! - 0762 - 11-05-2016

What a cracking headed goal that Darren Mac scored last night and he admits that his other header should've been bulleted past the Falkirk goalie in the same fashion! What a good signing and his Rangers free transfer has been our huge gain this season and beyond - a cracking player and how ironic it would be if he somehow buried Rangers with the winning goal in the upcoming Scottish Cup final. I wish!
He's correct in the fact that we are actually playing well from back to front and it's a pity our strikers are not 'mucking in' with goals because I think Stubbs is a smidgeon off having a really top class 1st team line up to call upon! Sparky sitting in the West Stand last night and could you imagine where this current Hibs team would be if he was miraculously slotted in at the tail end of this season?
The prolific pen box striker that we don't have!! I hope Darren is right and we do ourselves some justice in finishing off a spirited but less able Falkirk team. The two concerns for me are their shit, artificial pitch (How I detest artificial pitches, IMO another huge SFA gaffe to allow them in top level footie!!!) and the unwelcome SFA ref appointment of that Hearts tosser, Craig Thomson!! IMO we should not even be discussing these detrimental factors in a properly run Scottish footie set up!!

He's a decent player and I was sorry to see him go. Warburton's only error this year for me, but we won the league comfortably regardless so no real complaints.
I have lovely picture of him outside Ibrox with my boy and his MOM bottle of champagne following our easter defeat of Hearts last year. A very approachable young man.

That's one of the few agreeable things I'll acknowledge with you Worthing! Darren is a gem of a player and a very 'down to earth' young man. He is certainly delighted to have ended up at what he regards as his 'spiritual home' and Rangers have definitely done a great job in developing his football career to the impressive level of defender that he is just now. I reckon he could still end up in Strachan's Scotland set up with a bit of luck!

Missed a great chance 2nd half where if he just kept it down it was a certain goal. I was sceptical about him when he signed but i have to admit he has had a good season for us.
Hendersons corners and mcgregor in the box is definitely a real asset for us at the moment.
