Next match, SPFL2 (Championship), Saturday 04/10/2014 : Livingston v Rangers, KO 15:00 hours.

Indeed, Ally, we must : Rangers FC - Rise To The Challenge

[TIN TIN]

Any prediction for this match Larry?. Ally and his backroom team are getting it tight lately and deservedly so. What does he now do to turn things round and get the fans( lifeblood of any team) back on side?

Team needs to bouncy bouncy back me thinks

Absolutely comedic defending monday, but Hibs deserved the win. Thankfully i only had to suffer the game on the box, however i'm up for the Livi game and expecting a bigger and better performance.
Hopefully Temps gets a starting berth sat, after seeing the last 20 of their game against the tarts, they are absolutely rotten, and we should be taking 3 or 4 off of them.

Yep, its getting played about 6 miles from me..only time I've been in the stadia was a friendly between the two. Hope the result is better this time as a very good gers side got gubbed

It depends upon what Rangers team turns up, Tin Tin.

If it is the team playing the football I saw against Raith Rovers, on the deck passing, running off the ball, switching play through the occasional long pass, putting the opposition under continuous pressure, then Rangers will win this game and playing like that, will take the Division by storm too.
However, if it is the bunch of hoofing cloggies I saw against Hibernian, all Livingston would need do is copy Hibs' tactics ... and they might win too.

Hope this stream works, the last stream for an Away game was duff :

Wiziwig Stream : Livingston v Rangers 04/10/2014 15:00 to 17:00

McCoist isnt the man, hoofball and ill performing players who are both unisinpired and greatly underperforming
Steve Nicol would be the man i`d choose to get them playing good football, winning the league and inspiring the players because at the moment its not happening

[Larry-AV]

I am still holding my fire on Ally McCoist's management, TD.

This is what I said pre-season to BG, on FB :

If by the end of October Rangers are not leading the division or at worst are not engaged in a 'close combat' tussle for top spot, then that would be cause for concern. Now there could be various reasons for Rangers not running away from the rest of the teams, but I hope and expect that Rangers will be leading the division by the turn of the year, all being well, comfortably. I do not expect Rangers to go through the coming season unbeaten, so there will be setbacks.
However, if by the turn of the year it becomes evident that Rangers will fail to meet the target, promotion as champions of the division, then Ally McCoist's position as manager will become untenable. Let us hope that situation does NOT materialise !

Looking for a big reaction today against Livi. Hopefully the Hibs performance will be the boot up the erse they need.

Oh, and anyone writing the season off when there's 29 more games to play needs their bumps felt - with a hammer.
