Anyone know why Well Society Member couldn't buy in the first tranche along with ST holders?

Reward for buying a ST, most of them repeats  I guess and I would agree. At the last count of WS members some 2000 had not contributed financially to the Club for many years. My opinion as WS member.

It’s probably a fair point to suggest that those WS members with a monthly direct debit are also season ticket holders.

A real challenge for the WS is how it (re)engages those members who no longer financially contribute but regularly attend games.   

EDIT. I forgot to add that there are plenty of WS members who financially contribute but, for whatever reason, don’t have a season ticket or regularly attend.

I'd hope it's not beyond the capabilities of the Society to pull a list of the names of members who have contributed financially over the past few years.

Over 8000 is pretty good particularly when you are facing one half of the OF. I just fear SK will set us up to try not to lose rather than set out to win.

If he achieves that and we win on penalties, I think I can forgive him! 😉

I think that whatever harebrained formation he sets out tonight against Dundee United will give us a likely indication of how he plans to approach the Rangers game. With that said, I can forgive whatever he tries tonight (if it fails) so long as it helps him figure out what’s needed for Sunday. Although I would suggest that the Celtic game gave him that information.

I suppose in a way its fortunate we played Celtic on Sun and players may be a bit more switched on/alert - If that makes sense.

Celtic is easily the most difficult game in terms of movement/tracking/concentration and that will hopefully be fresh in their mind.

No idea how Sunday will go - Certainly winnable, but we've seen that movie before.

That said pumped them last time in a semi under not dissimilar circumstances (with Caixinha under scrutiny etc) and Kettlewell already has a landmark win v Rangers in his pocket.

Be interesting if Aberdeen win tonight - Pressure is massively on Rangers then.

It won't be easy, but I said at the time of the draw I've seen nothing from Rangers this season that worries me too much. If anything, since the draw, they have got worse.

Win this, and Clement might be "oot la porte" or "oot de deur" depending what part of Belgium he hails from.

Tonight's results mean nothing. It's going to be very difficult to get a result. 

On it's own it means nothing, but their form - for a Rangers team - has been very poor so far.

But I agree it won't be easy and we'll rightly go in to this game as underdogs. Our record, even against poor Rangers sides, is beyond awful.

Clement's post-match here is quite the take. A bit delusional.

That Behrami looks a good player and for some reason Jefte is popping in my head giving me the fear.

The Rangers LB tonight was getting roasted by Shayden Morris.

We don't have the ability ro press and control the game like Aberdeen I don't  think, but we can certainly give them a game.

More hope than expectation, but Bring it on.

Hopefully Robinson can turn into some sort of Steve Kirk-esque cup specialist.

Rangers' results in Europe show they have a decent level of quality in the team but the players don't appear to be able to handle the pressure the fans and media put on them domestically so if we can stop them from scoring early I think they might crack again.

I'm more confident now it looks like we won't be starting with SOD and Davor. We just need to hope some sort miracle happens with one of the strikers.

Clement and Rangers under serious pressure.

The Bears wont be doing patience on Sunday.

We need to be in their faces from the start and show them we wont be bullied.

Dont let them play and we might have a chance.

I’d start Maswanhise and task him with constantly running at and through their defence from kick-off. Rattle them early and hope our striker(s) can feed off scraps.

If we let them start well and take control, we’ve got no chance. That’s why we need to start fast and aggressive to not let them dominate possession. This will get their fans on their backs early, which is exactly what we need.

It’s in our hands to take the initiative and win this game. But, if we start with Robinson up top alone, we might as well all go home early.

Start like we did against Celtic but this time hope for a bit of luck to convert our chances.
