    Hi Brian,

    Very good points... As has been said before, in terms of Rangers trying to catch Celtic, it'll largely come down to how much money Gerrard will be given to spend on the team - and he'll need PLENTY, in order to try and take the title from Celtic, who incidentally had a very good 1-3 win today against Hearts, in what was always going to be a difficult game, given the result the last time both teams met at Tyncastle.

    Apparently, there'll be an announcement to that effect (the money side) tomorrow from Dave King, so we'll see. The reality is, before Rangers are in a position to genuinely challenge Celtic, they'll need to properly get above Aberdeen - and that doesn't just mean finishing second in the league this season with a struggle; that means next season establishing themselves as the bonafide second best team in Scotland, and having the points difference over Aberdeen (and Hibs) to prove it.

    However, I do think they'll achieve that next season, and finish a strong second to Celtic - only then would they be in a position to move onto the next level, in the season after that, by mounting a challenge to Celtic for the title, and continuing that again the following year, to try and stop Celtic from winning 10-in-a-row.

    It would be a MONUMENTAL, and virtually impossible task to expect Gerrard to assemble a team next season, no matter how much money he gets to spend, which would be capable of winning the title, *but* I expect him to massively improve the Rangers team, and for them to finish a strong second. However, it'll take a year or two for him to get Rangers to where they need to be - although of course much also depends on how Celtic strengthen during that period.

    Quite simply, due to the money Celtic have earned from the Champions League campaigns they've taken part in over the last few years, as well profiting handsomely from some shrewd signings (which continues to be the case, with Dembele, etc), they are in a different financial league from Rangers, and if necessary will simply outspend them, in order to stay on top - *but* it's not all about money...

    Much will depend on how good a coach and manager Gerrard turns out to be, and whether, like Rodgers, he can get more out of the players who are already at the club and build a team, with some quality new signings, which is first and foremost difficult to beat, and then turn Ibrox back into the fortress it once was. Also, in terms of next season, how things pan out at the top will largely depend on whether Celtic can successfully negotiate FOUR qualifying rounds for the CL, to enter the CL group stages.

    If Celtic can do that, then they'll bank another £30m, or so, which will strengthen them financially, but also make the team more vulnerable in league games immediately after they've played very difficult matches in the Champions League [as a result of mental and physical tiredness], which Rangers could take advantage of. However, of course, Rangers may face the same problems, if they make progress in the Europa League.

    However, I feel that one thing's certain:

    Gerrard will make the Rangers team much more skillful, competitive and harder to beat, which quite simply, over the course of a season, will earn them more points than they did under recent Rangers managers, and that will also improve their performances in the cup competitions. How far that ultimately takes them, only time will tell, but the days of Rangers simply being Celtic's whipping boys are probably over - and that's got to be a good thing for the reputation of Scottish football and also Celtic, who when faced with competing against a stronger Rangers, will benefit accordingly, by upping the ante.

    Personally, I can't wait to see how it all unfolds!

    Marco.

    Hhard to say how far apart they are skill wise, but they are a mile apart mentality wise at moment. One thing the new guy can do is keep any who have the right mentality and then bring in others to suit, both better skills and in the mental toughness.
    At moment most of them are weak that way. A lot of the guys are loans as well and in the situation they have been in they very often dont care so much, if they are going back to parent club or dont fancy staying anyway...
    Think Alnwick, McCrorie will stay. Murphy will probably be bought, along with the 2 new guys, coming in(arfield and big shagger). of the others, much will depend on how they show up, and if bids coe in etc, but most will go or at best be squad players.
    Its all hypothetical tho, as it depends on finance and perhaps some more boardroom musical chairs.

    Lol - you're joking, right? Trying to be as impartial as possible, they're further apart there, than twice the length of Sauchiehall Street!

    You're right about the mentality thing, but the huge difference in skill between the current Rangers and Celtic players, all throughout the team, particularly in midfield and up front, is obvious, both on the pitch itself and in the current market value of the players in both first teams.

    Gerrard will be trying hard to redress the balance.

    Default New Footy Season 2017/18 ..How's your team doing?

    I said it's hard to say HOW FAR apart they are skill wise as the difference in mentality is the overwhelming force. Often is in football and it's really the new way to train folk.
    When they have played well they have looked good but they crash and burn as fast as a bit of paper. Football skills is not so much a problem for most players it's their mental toughness. Celtic have this in spades and until sides equal this mentality they won't be able to get close. And that goes for all sides.
    The thing I like about hibs is they are aquiring this toughness which is allowing them to use there skills to effect. They are imo the 2 best side in country at moment

    I don't think it's hard at all. Not sure where you're coming from here mate, as the current gulf in class/skill, between the players in both teams, epitomised by the likes of Tierney, Rogic, Ntcham, Dembele, etc, is blatantly clear for all to see

    I do agree (with all those points), but that aside, skill-wise, currently player for player, it's like comparing Man City with Stoke City!

    its a bit like watching players training... they can do amazing things with a ball etc; doesnt mean they can play football tho thats my point. Most pro players have loads of skill... I remember seeing Alex McDonald of rangers train a lot and the stuff he could do with a ball was amazing but on the park he never used that part of his makeup for whatever reasons.
    Football is about organization, vision and confidence mostly. the extra skills that the players you mention are the icing on the cake, as they can use that skill under pressure. Its clear that Rangers players cannot, and thus in my mind are crap footballers, even if they have the skills.
    I think Gerrard himself has said, he will quickly find out which players have what it takes to do it under pressure, and not give up... Personally I dont think many will survive the cull

    Another even bigger factor is managers. A really good manager like celtics can and did make the same players twice as good as the last lad.
    Celtic were still top side but dehlia didn't have what Brendan has.
    You could put a poor manager in charge at Barca and you will see some of the most skilful players in world get beat regularly.

    He did when he was at St Johnstone !!!!!!!!!

    But of course, we were a team who encouraged skills, finesse, class etc etc.... unlike the big 2 at the time.

    Kick and run was not a tactic you would ever find on our play list.

    Skills, skills, skills
    Pass and run, pass and run.

    It is a little known fact that Barcelona heard about our methods and came to study them, in training. They acknowledge even today the effect Saints had on their approach, and how much in debt they are .

    “Tippy Tap football”...... yes.............. invented in Perth.

    Alex McDonald in his prime (before Rangers got a hold ) next to Messi, and Iniesta.
    Stuff of dreams.
