Scottish Premier Rangers

Abysmal performance for 75 minutes

But still ground out a win that would simply not have happened last year.

And this win will keep Finbar off our board for a wee while!!

Happy Days

Rangers deserved todays win. Yes, we didnt make it easy for ourselves but justice was served to make up for the disallowed goal. As long as Rangers can consistently score goals, Celtic will stay behind.

I agree with allancmrn, Boyd is a key man we should be using for this. It is tough to get into the final XI due to the depth of our squad, but if we dont play Boyd sometime soon, he could eventually play elsewhere.

I defenitely agree with allancmrn, We need someone to partner Barry in the new 4-1-2-2-1 formation. Adam is just not physical enough and hardly pulls his weight by tackling, chasing back etc.

Why don't the BBC make it clear in their report of the match that Adam's goal WAS a goal. The referee and linesman got it wrong. If a certain other team had been involved, the BBC would have been wailing long and loud.

surely, despite the winning sequence some gers fans must be put off by the awful brand of football coming out of ibrox. i am getting bored to tears watching this team. i know people will say "i dont care if winning is boring". but please some style is seriously required.

boyd, i dont get the fascination with this guy by some fans. he is a terrbile player.

We are riding our luck.Why start with the same rubbish that did not perform against Gretna.It took Watty 45 mins to realise he had got it wrong again.The standard is very poor

Ref Richmond was a joke - booking of Burke was a disgrace when he was clearly blocked and there were other times in the game when he was giving fouls to Inverness and then he would wave play on if the same foul was commited on a Rangers player. Sheer incompetance from the worst referee of an already abysmal lot.

Great win for the Gers - never easy winning in Inverness and everyone should remember that before being quick to bad mouth the players and manager.

Take a look at Rangers results against Caley last year and see how much they come since Le-Guen. As for Boyd, this is one thing I don't pretend to understand. It's hard to argue against playing him when he scores so many goals! I know its a team game et all, but a couple of seasons ago he finished up being Kilmarnock & Rangers top scorer in the same season. He's not the finished article, but he's not going to get any better sitting on the bench.

Just like against Gretna, dull, boring game and I dont know why Walter never recognized this is what happened against Gretna and changed things i.e. yes Charlie had one chalked off and yes he hit the bar, but again, as like most days, the midfield carried him and Hemdani does not carry anyone, great player but no dig with an average engine room

It was a poor performance but it is a very hard place to go. We were also the victims of a terrible decision when Adam's goal was chalked off. We were refused at least two and possibly three clear pens against Gretna on Wednesday. Perhaps if we moaned as much as the other lot across the city we might get a decision now and again?

Boyd is a great goalscorer but he is limited. Walter started him four games in a row earlier in the season against and we took 4 points from 12. I'm not saying that was all Boyd's fault but to me we look less effective when he plays.
