13/12/2017 : Thank You, Neil. You recognise historical reality of Rangers, maybe you could speak to those who do not.

The former Celtic manager said: "They're still in the embryonic stages of building to try and get back to where they were, and that takes a bit of time.

"We respect them, I think it will be a difficult game. They are second in the league, but they should be second in the league with the resources they have.

SPL (SPFL1), Saturday 16/12/2017 : Rangers 1-3 St Johnstone

That was a poor performance from Rangers today, which I can summarise in one word : indecision.
The flowing play I expect from Rangers came instead from St Johnstone, who applied pressure to close our players down and were incisive in their passing moves when breaking out. Their goals were a worldie followed by two freebies, but the latter two were earned.
The overall winners from today are Aberdeen who go 2nd, 3 points ahead of Rangers. We are now 3rd and 6 points ahead of Hibernian.

21/12/2017 : Rangers have another opportunity to close the gap(s) to Aberdeen and/or Celtic, who play each other in a full complement of matches on Saturday. But will the opportunity be taken ?

SPL (SPFL1), Saturday 23/12/2017 : Kilmarnock 2-1 Rangers

The better team won today, with former Rangers man Kris Boyd turning a 0-1 HT deficit into a 2-1 win for Kilmarnock.

Rangers back to winning ways. The game was no classic but Danny Wilson's opening goal was. Morelos scored Rangers' second and Rangers retain 3rd place tonight, as Aberdeen won their match too. SSN will be showing the goals from the SPL games after 22:00 hours tonight.

Honours even. I would like to say more than that but cannot due to :
a} The stream was duff, running as a series of stills.
b} Staying up all night for the cricket caught up with me for forty odd minutes.
