SPL (SPFL1), Saturday 23/09/2017 : Rangers 0-2 Celtic

The better team won today, tbh. The Opposition's first goal came from a loose ball that should have been cleared but wasn't, their second came from a well worked move. As I said at HT on my Rangers forum, the difference between the two teams is that Celtic play like a settled side, where each player knows his role, whereas Rangers look like a side still in the process of gelling. Nevertheless, Rangers are better than before and can only get better.

SPL (SPFL1), Friday 29/09/2017 : Hamilton Academical 1-4 Rangers

That was a good result after a poor start in a frenetically paced match. Rangers were down to 10 men after Ryan Jack was dismissed on 54' for a 2nd yellow card. This result puts Rangers 3rd, pending the remaining results tomorrow.

SPL (SPFL1), Wednesday 25/10/2017 : Rangers v Kilmarnock, KO 19:45 hours.

23/10/2017 : This midweek game offers Rangers the opportunity to close the gap to Aberdeen and/or Celtic, who play each other. However, if the same hoofing 'tactics' that were used against Motherwell at Hampden Park are repeated, then Rangers might blow this opportunity. A return to action by Kenny Miller would be welcome (and useful).

Hamilton Academical 19:45 Partick Thistle
Hibernian 19:45 Heart of Midlothian - BT Sport
St Johnstone 19:45 Ross County

Wednesday 25th October
Aberdeen 19:45 Celtic - BT Sport

Rangers 19:45 Kilmarnock

 

SPL (SPFL1), Wednesday 25/10/2017 : Rangers 1-1 Kilmarnock

I had to follow this via the SSN Soccer Special, so have no idea about the performance. Going by the SSN live commentary the goal attempts, including goals and penalties, were 10-2 & 10-9 = 20-11 to Rangers, indicating a dominant 1st half and a balanced second half. The result is two points dropped and one place down (from 3rd to 4th) tonight.
