I personally thought Stubbs made a calculated error by fielding Macgregor instead of Fontaine but I can see why he opted for Darren (because of lotsa previous Ibrox experience). I still rate Fontaine who strolls through most matches and certainly generally plays well in Rangers matches. Brought on cold in the second half and the fundamental error in not clearing his lines was unusual - an old coaching line from me in the past is, 'if in doubt, kick it out son' and Fontaine violated that code of conduct! Re our involvement in the cup tourneys, I have previously said I'd sacrifice our league cup involvement for a massive assault to win the Championship and get out of this shit league - no interest in the league cup apart from the money coming in from a final appearance. The Scottish Cup is different but a cup run is still an unnecessary distraction that would likely destroy our ambitions to win the Championship outright.
