On the points regarding ourselves in this thread:
Improvement has been made over the course of the season, admittedly, however it hasn't been enough to see us compete for a trophy.
The 'aggregate victory' whilst nice isn't really worth much when you go and drop points consistently against the dross in the league. Extra quality is required for these games, the likes of Hastie, Jones & Stewart are NOT the players that will turn a draw into a win in this kind of scenario, imo.
We need a minimum of 3 players to come in and be first teamers, before departures. A left back (assuming Barasic doesn't come good, which I still have some hope of), a central midfielder and a right winger. Replacements for Morelos and Kent are likely required as well.
David Wagner is unlikely to leave his current job as Shalke manager - that he was appointed to last week.

I think it is more the style of play than the personnel that has been the issue with the draws.
Sure it would help to have another creative midfield player in there to unlock the door.
But we already have the players to beat Aberdeen, Killie, Livingstone etc.
We need more variety in our play and better movement. We have seen that is possible with who we have since Morelos has been suspended.
At times with Morelos it is too obvious and one dimensional. It is also slower in the final third because he rarely moves the ball on without taking 2 or 3 touches first.
Not saying it is all Morelos fault. But Defoe likes to take a touch and lay it off or lay it off first time and move. This has forced us to bring Arfield in particular closer to him.
And it has improved the way we play.
Slaven Bilic been out the picture for a while eh

Wow. Glad you finally agree with me. Unfortunately your rookie manager was also a bit slow to work it out.

We do struggle to break down teams at times imo which is where that added quality would help.
Completely agree about the Morelos point. A smaller, quicker striker upfront would be ideal to replace him.
We have played much better the past few weeks, although that could be counter argued by the fact we have been playing without pressure.
All in all I'm cautiously optimistic about next season.
the ITK's are convinced Benitez was with Desmond in Ireland last midweek
rnr they arent right
4 million a year, managing in a top league
gna take a mega wage hit to come and manage in scotland but, fur ra glory of managing celtic.

Well you've got that wrong see.
We call Rangers Rangers. The club that we call sevco isnt rangers. Its sevco.
Anyone hear the rumour Stevie G is bringing out a book about his first year in management?

Another CM? We'll be able to field a full team of them soon.
Not saying it's not somewhere where a stand out player wouldn't be welcomed but we have to sell a few in there first.
Barasic i like and he's quality but question marks around his mentality. I'll trust Gerrard to make the right call there.
Kent again, a replacement for Morelos and some CB's and we are sorted.
I really hope Barisic grows a set and decides he is up for the challenge of playing for Rangers.
He has all the tolls to be a top player - just doesn't seem keen on the rough and tumble of Scottish football.
If Barisic had half the steel of Flanagan he would be a top player.
