I think the manager has done well with a squad most on this site suggested was useless. If he can motivate them to do this the "fire the Manager" crew will not be happy!!!!

so do you think had SK stayed he would have stopped the rot? I know its conjecture  but what I know is ive seen more entertainment in 3 games than i saw with SKs team in 6 months . Had he not resigned I would have sacked him.

Wow! All credit to the new management duo and the players today for a terrific performance. That 1st half was one of the best I’ve seen from a ‘Well side in a long time. To be 2-0 up at half-time at Mordor was totally unreal. Sure the 2nd half was hold onto your hat stuff at times but the players held their nerve well and Rangers were a spent and sorry looking bunch at time up.

The (correctly) disallowed goal apart I thought we were pretty comfortable in the latter stages.

Barry not happy "I never seen that coming" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He said their goal should have stood - but he essentially called them rotten in the post match interview. 

What was the initial decision on the filed? Did VAR overturn on field call or just let it stand?

Yeah, relatively comfortable.

There was a chance very similar to Marius Zaliukas' in the play-off at Fir Park, where Tavernier blazed over from about 8 yards - Similar to then, I thought that was a sign we were going to see it out.

I can't find it now, but there was a quote on the BBC website about how the man who coached in the Bundesliga and top Austrian league had out-thought the man whose coaching experience is the Scottish 2nd Division.

That pretty much sums it up.

Yup, MW seems to have been interim manager at Stuttgart for seven games after a considerable period as assistant. Having experienced playing  against the likes of Bayern, Borussia D. et al for a long period, I hardly think he will have been troubled  much about visiting Ibrox and so it has  proved. His spell at Austria Vienna was pretty healthy too.

If he can get a tune out of our injury-depleted squad which was supposedly totally crapola after only  three games, then he must have something about him.

Hats off to the players too who have followed his instructions and dug out a great couple of performances. Their belief in the manager can only grow in these circumstances, where he has let them off the Kettlewell leash.

Es gibt wirklich einen Gott!

First half was excellent. You could nit pick about Balmers distribution and one or two other loose passes, but overall we were well worth our 2 goal lead at HT.

Unsurprisingly the second half was a much harder watch. Ferguson had to ring the changes and they were able to exert more pressure on us as a result.

I thought we initially stood up to it pretty well, but after Thompson missed his chance and they went up the other end and scored, I feared the worst.

I felt after Halliday and Slattery went off we lost our ability to get forward as effectively and we got a bit too deep for my liking. We rode our luck a little and Im still not sure about their offside goal despite having seen it about 20 times. However, we have been wronged in the past by decisions like that so happy to take this one.

We dug in and got the result we deserved in the end. Tonight is going to be an enjoyable one. I might even get the good whisky out!

The exciting thing is it is still early days with this manager and there is so much more to come from this squad.

Stuart who?
