Well regardless of whether it was driven by defiance or just plain support for their club, Rangers fans did turn out in big numbers when they were in the lower leagues.
-
It’s a good draw and one that is winnable. Obviously it’s Motherwell and you can never be sure but I have a good feeling about this one. Hopefully this will be 3pm on the Saturday.
-
Yeah but this is 2025 so…. 🤷♂️
-
And guys like Chris Sutton and Neil Lennon etc who have been involved in conducting the draw over that time have helped Rangers avoid a Premiership team somehow? Yeah?
-
I didn’t think your response was anything other than tongue in cheek to be honest. But the post I quoted appeared to imply that the draw was fixed for Celtic and Rangers to get the easiest draws possible. And I’m asking how they think that that is possible. Given that there have been so many individuals who have helped conduct these draws and given that if there genuinely had been any kind of ‘foul play’ then none of it would have been leaked onto social media in some way or other? It just sounds like alot of nonsense to me. Alot of “boo-hoo that’s no fair but ah canny really show how it’s no fair” whinging to me.
-
And how do they fix it for that to happen? Considering that Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and Dundee Utd were all seeded so they couldn’t have drawn any of them so that limits the sides they could have drawn. But “hot/cold balls”!?!?….Really? Does anyone seriously, SERIOUSLY believe that nonsense? Because if there is anyone who does then I would love to hear how you think that that works and how the Scottish football authorities could pull that off without giving anything away…???

St.Johnstone away. One of the better ones we could have got and a chance to avenge for that horrendous day up there in January this year.
-
Oh right.
-
Any more weird than attacking a random person by accusing them of not supporting his team because they were in the lower leagues?
-
Well Alloa have knocked us out of the League Cup once before so… But in all honesty I would not trust Motherwell to win ANY Cup tie regardless of who the opposition is. I would though prefer us to have the easiest game on paper to give us the best chance.
-
Or maybe he doesn’t remember something that happened the best part of a decade ago now? I’d hardly describe 2016 as “very recently”. I don’t doubt that you have met fans of both clubs that fit that category, but at the same time that can also be applied to many Motherwell fans. I’ve said this before but there are plenty who never set foot inside Fir Park for run of the mill games yet come out of the woodwork for Cup semis/finals or European games then disappear again. And usually those are the ones who have the cheek to call Old Firm fans glory hunters.
-
I care who we draw because I want us to have a good cup run. No doubt it’ll be Celtic or Rangers home or away, or else Hearts at Tynecastle and that will be that for us.
-
Good to see you still “feeding the troll” as well as talking shite. I was stating a fact. When Rangers were in the lower leagues they regularly had big crowds. A fact that doesn’t support the suggestion made by the poster I quoted that because Rangers were playing in the lower leagues their fans would have no interest in supporting them.
-
It was their first season (back) in the top flight. And why would he not have been supporting them in the lower leagues? Rangers regularly sold out their allocations home and away while they were playing in the lower divisions at the same time as Celtic had to shut the top tier of the stand at Parkhead as their fans lost interest without Rangers in the league.
-
While it was brilliant to beat them at Ibrox I just think that beating them at Fir Park in front of the home crowd especially next Saturday first game of the season, lights on (probably) would be that bit better and more satisfying. Can’t see it happening though.
-
I wasn’t there and haven’t seen any footage so can’t comment on performance or result. But it was clearly a stiff test against a good team and we come out of it with a draw. Fair play to the manager and the team.
-
Can’t see us getting anything I’m afraid. Most likely a frustrating narrow 1-2 defeat in what is a typical Motherwell v Rangers game at Fir Park, the type we’ve seen all too often over the years.
-
Haha did they? Tonight just gets better 😄
-
Even I get it wrong sometimes!
-
Well…I did think it would be 3-0. Good job done in the end and a special strike to seal it from TM.
-
However…
-
Eye bleeding stuff this.
-
Ward comes back into goals tonight. Stam starts up front.
-
And they have it, regardless how tonight goes. It will be unacceptable if we don’t win. But I’ll be there supporting them as best I can. Unlike you. 🙂
-
100% and tonight is going to be extremely tough for us and I’m not confident at all. That said though failure to win and progress will be completely and utterly unacceptable.
