I think...
you look at the goals they are conceding a lot of that is individual individual errors and they can be routed out the penalty they give away as well maybe gives Falkirk a chance to get back in the game that's just individual errors so I do feel at this time of the season it's about scoring goals and can they cut out their mistakes and Rangers give themselves a good chance to go and win some of these games
Yeah, I think if you looked at that game before it was played, if you said Rangers were going to score six goals, nobody would have believed you.
What if you'd have said it after 41 minutes?
Yeah, and that's what I'm saying, so they've shown a real resilience about them, a way, a difficult venue, a team who have been a real problematic for Rangers and a lot of teams throughout the league, so you can't argue with that, it was a great performance in the second half, especially when you're in the midst of a title race.
not perm he was a perm man yeah the perm's back in
No, but at the same time we felt that last week, no room for error and then you obviously see Stranraer get a really good result away at Spartans Did you know the Spartans result throughout the game?
Yes Everybody looks, it's just natural, I think especially when you have that love for the game, you're looking at your result first and foremost and saying I wonder if they're doing us a favour and Stranraer
albeit played well against Spartans but listen we've got to take care of our own business tomorrow Edinburgh City at home I think Spartans are away to Anand Athletic Willie Gibson 41 team of the year saw that shout out to him he's a player manager of Anand 41 and he's in the team of the year league too deserves huge huge respect for that because he's been superb every time I've seen him this year but same in league one as well isn't it I know we've got three really good title races the championship is still alive it's obviously a bit more
Cermiti.
Cermiti instead of Shanklin?
Yeah I think it speaks for itself that the rest of the professionals throughout the league have picked him as well because they'll understand when you're trying to play that sort of football the goalkeeper is
he is so important to how you play way past type of past the timing of it but all the things that come into that that maybe people overlook I think if if Jack Butland had that level of distribution then there would be no argument he'd be the best goalkeeper in this league but I do feel that's one side of Jack Butland's game that lets him down in fairness Shvalov would definitely mention would be worth a mention in that maybe in between the two in that bracket he's been really good has he not since signing perhaps they're obviously top of the league and so on he's got 14 clean sheets
The Raskin-Watt one's interesting because I like Raskin, but what I thought you could see on...
Sunday the good and the bad we were asking first half I thought he was really poor when you're actually asking him to come be the drop down and take the ball and play forward I don't think his body shape's the level you would maybe expect for a player like if you compare it to Elliot Watt every time he receives the ball he's able to then play forward and he's really composed we're asking the second half when you let him go join in attacks and get forward I thought he was outstanding in the second half I think maybe the start of the season contributes as well David you know like it
No, I can't.
no it's not about being too nice that's what I'm saying if Raskin is someone on the part who likes to you know you still have to respect what he does on the ball and how he affects a football game and there are Celtic players who won't vote for Rangers players and Rangers players who won't vote for Celtic players there's another one go on then it's interesting because obviously they can't vote for themselves they can't vote for their own team
I don't understand Rangers paying that money for this right I remember that I mean he was openly ridiculed and there he is he's just been in the right environment and a club like Rangers obviously he's been suited because as he says to you at the start of the show he came under some criticism at the start but developing him since then since Russell Martin left has been really incredible it wasn't criticism it was ridiculed he's got levels to go as well I can see the calls starting to come in about this as we debate it further we'll do it when we return
in the dressing room to your teammates he was good that guy Fernandes was good wasn't he he's quick can I get past him whatever is that the type of thing that forms your opinion throughout the season I definitely think you do both I think for Nigri to score the goals that he has I think if you're maybe one of the defenders or one of the defensive midfielders playing against him you have to
find the space in the box and you have to run off somebody so obviously to get on the goal somebody's not marked him tightly enough so they understand constantly running off the ball not easy to play against as much as you give up the ball in terms of Celtic building out makes a good point David with your Tate and your Spencer and Calvin Miller I think the three of them have been excellent Dylan Tate was one similar to Taylor Watt who always looks to play forward I thought Lisa Lisa as well yeah Lisa as well forgot about him yeah Lisa Lisa
