Win - win there. Keep and remember the game for ever. Sell it, and you get a hundred quid and the tears of a Celtic fan!

Exactly. Most professional players have no problems putting aside their boyhood allegiances to do their job. It's a completely different mindset. Another classic example is Scott McDonald. He didn't exactly hold back on Skippy Sunday. He did (and enjoyed) the job we were paying for, in front of the home fans he played for.

How it started... How it finished...

Winning the Dundee game was huge, because nothing gets players to buy into a system quicker than proving it works with a result. I'm sure being encouraged to put a foot on the ball and make passes helps too. And while wee Barry was talking about his tactic of "telling them what it means to be a Rangers player" our new gaffer was telling us how our second goal was exactly how we had planned it from the analysis. VfB Stuttgart meets Alloa Athletic.

Not quite. The rules said they should have been kicked out the league, but they were allowed to remain.

I was never worried about the playoffs, but others on here tell me we were relegation candidates.

Turns out Norway's football association is as bad as ours. The clubs lose the vote to ditch VAR thanks to the large number of lower league and amateur clubs who voted to keep it - despite the fact none of them have VAR.

With all the chat about the 49ers taking over Rangers, they might want to check how their season went. They won 6, lost 11 and finished 4th out of 4 in their Division.

I read a book about reverse psychology. It wasn't very good. You shouldn't buy it.

Watching the Aberdeen v Utd game, and Wee Al is a shadow of his old self so far.

It's not good for the nerves, but great for the competition. Lose three in a row and you're thinking of playoffs. Win three in a row and you're thinking of Europe.

It's in our own hands, and that's all you can ever ask for.

MIchael Stewart on Wednesday, "Now Hearts are in the top six they'll be there for the rest of the season" *Checks table three and a half days later....*

I doubt he was match fit as he came to us with with almost no first team appearances. So not surprised it took him a few weeks to get up to speed

With Miller, Slattery fully fit again and AP on the way back, I don't think we'd have been relegated, regardless of who was in the gaffer's seat. But irrelevant now, unless we lose the next 5 on the bounce.

Well he assisted the Rangers goal, if that counts.

Nah, not for me. We'd have been in a lose 4, win 2, draw 1 cycle for the remainder of the season with half the points picked up due to late goals. 8th or 9th, sure, but we didn't have the rabbit in the headlights look that the relegated teams have. Livi at the end of last season was a perfect example.

Absolutely. Coaches from the continent also tend to do more training with ball-at-feet, so hoping to see even more football in the coming weeks. In his first interview he said one of the things that made him a good match for the club was being data driven. I doubt they had much of that at Alloa.

Slattery for me has been back to top form and really enjoying his current role. In the Dundee game he was in their faces literally right from kick off and was at it again today. Plus he can play a bit of football too. It's also two games in a row where he hasn't been booked. And this idea Wimmer has of playing two number tens is really making a difference.

And he already tweaked the approach with a deeper press to catch a breather every now and then. An actual Plan B. Of course winning the Dundee game was a big help, because players are never sure about new tactics unless they see results.

Sky Sports report was either written by a Rangers fan or a 'Well fan who started celebrating early.

I didn't think we'd win this one, but I have had no worries about relegation this season.

I'm old enough to remember when posters were saying we were going to get relegated.

No

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.
