When you consider the first Old Firm game of last season-do you think Gers fans are getting a bit optimistic?

Question

In fact,a wee bit too optimistic,considering they still have a very poor squad compared to Celtic?

Answer 1

They carry on like this till around late Dec' every year... then reality strikes.... up 2 their r'ses in debt over xmas and Celtic running away with the league...it's the same old song!

Answer 2

they're always counting their chickens before they hatch you think they'd have learned after last seasons quadruple!  

Answer 3

you must have your green specs on again.Rangers done celtic over no problem .Rangers were a tierd squad after last seasons euro run but just watch them go this season with no euro football to play for fortress parkhead i dont think so.Rangers have got a better squad of players this season.  

Answer 4

and tell me how is it poor compared to celtics....follow with pride xx

btw how are the calls for wgs head going..is he still in a job after one defeat

Answer 5

Rangers have a very poor squad compared to celtic?

IMO

McGreagor > Boruc

Bougherra > McManus

Weir > Caldwell (Both shite)

Broadfoot - Hinkel (equily shite)

Papac > Nailor

Mendes > Brown

Thompson > Hartley

Davis > Robson

Nakamura > Beasley/Adam

1 player I can think of who's better than what we have in certain position & that player only performs 1 in 10 games.

All the strikers are pretty pish in both teams, but I can't judge Lafferty yet.

Answer 6

so where was this superior squad celtic have at the weekend?

your team were outplayed in EVERY position.

i think youre being a bit optimistic about asking this seriously.

Answer 7

There's a long way to go, we'll see what happens, i dont either side should be too optimistic yet.

Answer 8

end of the day, had Celtic won Rangers fans would be calling, again., for Smith to go and Celtic fans would be gloating.

Answer 9

yeah they were protesting a few weeks ago, and will probably be doing again in a few weeks

Answer 10

Of course they are, they know that themselves. They are entitled to enjoy their victory but its a long way to go, nothing has been won yet

Answer 11

no. we ran riot at Parkead and will again

Answer 12

You are right, it is far too early to predict who will win the league.  By that rational, Celtic fans have been shouting about 4IAR since before the season even started. The difference this year though, is that Rangers won the first game at Parkhead, as opposed to Ibrox.  All things being equal, Rangers should be favourites to win the next game, which of course will be played at Ibrox in December.  

I will take your comments regarding who has the stronger squad with a pinch of salt.  If you were right, Celtic would have a decent striker on the park on Sunday, a full-back on either side capable of causing problems for the opposition, and a keeper to replace Boruc, who does not have his troubles to seek.  

As for the protests, the fact is the fans who voiced their anger were doing so because Cuellar left the club, rather than wanting Walter to resign or be sacked.  The only managers head being called for was Strachan's, right up to a month or so before the end of last season.  Think you may be confusing the two.
