Another Birmingham fan, really appreciate your praise for us mate. Best away end I've ever seen down St Andrews in the 16 years I've been a season ticket holder, and a great tribute to Trevor Francis today. Just to give you a bit more context to the changes we made though, you said about it being our reserves but there was a lot of players in that playing out of position or genuinely just youth kids with very few senior appearances. Our backline had 2 kids, one was on loan at national league Ebbsfleet last year, the other at right back hasn't made a senior appearance yet. Our 2 DMs, one was 17 and an attacking midfielder naturally, and the other was Tyler Roberts so an older but still attacking midfielder, and we had Jutkiewicz up front who runs in treacle at his age and won't be playing much for us this year. Definitely thought that had a huge impact, meaning no disrespect to Rangers because I know it wasn't your strongest side either by a long way. Rest of that side could easily start for us though. Manager's got us playing some great stuff in pre-season though. Hope it gets better for yous through the season lads.

Played some nice football too, out from the back. Couple of dodgy passes but that didn't deter anyone and the backline persevered well to carry on playing out instead of just hoofing it. A team with a plan, who knows how they want to play and work for each other. That's always a recipe for success, so I would be very surprised if you don't go straight back up.

I can feel the frustration in the fans having watched us (Birmingham) out play you for 60mins. I didn’t see any fight or style in your play tonight and that is concerning. Similar to the man u game. I’ve always followed Rangers as my Scottish club and have seen your highs and lows. However this pre season you have been really bad and id be concerned with the manager and recruitment. I really hope you turn things around and start to dominate the SPL again and have those amazing UCL nights as I’ll be following you this season again along side Birmingham.

CJ, I attended the game in the home end with my closest friends, some of their family, and my family members - they're all Blues supporters apart from my mum. 😂 From a quick glance at the starting XI before the game, I didn't realise how many of our best players we left in Glasgow (some 13 according to Clement tonight, including Goldson). Whilst I know Blues have spent a lot of money so far this summer, I was seriously concerned and even embarrassed at points by how far off the pace we looked. Blues were really up for this, whereas we weren't, and we were outfought from the off, missing tackles, and generally speaking, we were several yards off the pace. Personally, from that, I think Blues will breeze League 1, and they look like they've got a much better side than the one they had last season in the Championship, as mentioned by their owner Wagner in his interview which aired today. Their fans were buzzing during and after the game at what they were seeing and quite rightly too. However, I think they were all in the belief that this was the strongest Rangers team and squad that we'd brought down. I heard plenty of the usual comments such as 'Rangers are League 1 standard' and 'A great advert for Scottish football.'' Try telling Real Betis fans they're League 1 English standard. Bottom line, we should be alarmed by what we're seeing just now, but if players leave quickly, then we've still got time to turn this around within a game or two of the new season starting. It'll probably be too late for the CL qualifiers though.

The board have went from one mistake to another. Clement and Koppen are just another mistake. Clement made out Butland is a £30 to £40 million keeper, where was he? Then you have Nsiala who Clement had previously made out from what I read that Nsiala and Igamane weren't ready for the level we are at. The SPFL level. He played him here and he was one of too few bright spots. Yet Man Utd had younger players than Nsiala and Igamane, who ate up our so called experience and had them on toast. I don't understand Clement. You are trying to ready a team for the CL qualifiers and league, yet you start a guy here for the future, when you need your experienced guys sharper. We should be fielding a fairly settled team as well at this point. Clement is still experimenting and it is clear he doesn't know his best team. Also I haven't seen one bit of progress or improvement in fitness or how we play and approach games. How long before the usual suspects will start filling the treatment room shortly as well and hiding?

This might sound crazy but hear me out. Morelos and Kent are not settled where they are. They know this club well and maybe they have found the grass isn't always greener. Perhaps we could get them on loan for the season? It would be an opportunity for them both to turn their image and careers around. On their day they can make a big impact. They could come back on loan with a point to prove and if their attitude is on point they might really help. Morelos would be better than Dessers any day, and Kent on the LW with Cortes in his natural RW postion could be decent. Danilo and Alfie could push each other on as well for a spot. Its a lower cost option. Then put our money from sales if we hopefully makes some into a 10 and two good strong Centre backs and a CM.

Clement is another Le Guen or Pedro. Another bad decision by the board in a stack of bad decisions. He said Nsiala and Igamane were not ready for the level we are at yet, he starts him tonight and he was one of the few bright spots in a really poor side. Captain mediocrity back in, making his usual defensive errors. It says it all when Wright was our best player and he is a duffer 9 times out of 10. We can barely string two passes or keep possession. Game upon game Clement is experimenting and the team is not showing any signs of progress. Also where was the £30 to £40 million keeper? It's all just 💩. This board needs to sell up and allow someone to come in and run this club properly. People can say he has no money to spend but he is getting nothing out the guys here.

Hello everyone.. aren't you supposed to get better the more games you play? 😭 Despite rotation it shouldn't be as poor as that especially in the first half.. a clear sign we need investment in the squad with a new signing arriving tomorrow..how many more do we need? Also regarding the squad from 5 years ago how many of our current team gets into that 11?

If it makes you feel any better. We may be L1 but the squad we had before any signings were too good for L1 as it was, we’ve improved and when we had proper managers in last season, we were top half of the Championshio PPGs wise. So yes, we’re L1 but realistically our entire squad is Championship level.

Yep we also need a proper striker in that can score more, we need a 10, we need two starting CBs, a RW, CM and RB cover. Minimum. The thing is I would not trust Clement to make those decisions or Koppen. Koppen spent our only available before selling players, money at £1.75 million on a guy who is 21 years old, who apparently isn't ready for the level. SPFL level. Yet look at the lads at Man Utd younger than that beating our experienced guys soundly. If we had no money other than that money, Koppen should have prioritised someone who can immediately impact the team. This board has been useless at signing worthwhile DOFs. Useless at too many things. I don't trust their judgement either over managers. Souness who I would trust chose Lampard. That was out of the options they let him meet as a consultant. That doesn't mean he would have Lampard high on his list. He let them know Lampard was the better option out of whobthey interviewed. As a football man, I trust Souness and this board thought it knew better. I have read fan forums form Clements time at Monaco and the general consensus is Clemetn is a bad manager and they should have got rid sooner. He got new manager bounce and failed with the likes of Tchouameni. Way better quality than he has here. History is repeating.

Pre-season isn't a predictor for how the actual season will go. It's all about fitness for me and some new ideas / players implemented by the manager. I'm not too fussed about the results. I never look back onwards and forward. My memories of pre season over the years have been that great pre season results are often followed by an underwhelming season, and an underwhelming pre season is often followed by a decent league campaign. We need to keep the faith.

Tavernier was dreadful tonight. Earlier today I was thinking we should maybe keep him for another season to rotate with Sterling. No. King looked miles better when he came on. I actually thought Nsiala had a really good game and his passing out from the back is classy. I see no reason why he can’t start ahead of Davies etc at left centre back. The midfield in the first half was shocking, but it’s no coincidence that we improve massively there when Barron comes on. We are already massively reliant on him. Wright had another good game too. Apart from that, we were shocking. That first half performance was one of the worst I’ve ever seen from us, and could be the worst given the level of opposition we were up against. True we were playing several youngsters and resting several players, but these guys should still be more than good enough to beat a league one side. I feel like we are at rock bottom. Hopefully it’s not another Beale situation from last season. Time will tell.

I'm not for a minute saying we are in good shape or down playing the mess we are in but I'd imagine the dressing room isn't a great place to be at the moment with so many players leaving / half way out the door, yes we need at the very least 1 starting CB and in reality probably 2, and a right winger... Like I say it doesn't look great currently but given that we know we have to sell before we buy and looks like Tav, Goldson, wright, and hagi already have 1 leg out the door with cantwell close behind... We do seem to be managing to move players on and we do seem to be being linked with right wingers and strikers so as much as we aren't in great shape at the moment I think clearing the decks having a fresh start may just massively lift the mood of the players and might just open the door for the new arrivals we all know we need... Genuinely feel if we manage to get Goldson,Tav etc mentioned earlier out and get a right winger and a striker all of a sudden it's not looking so bad....

I agree. It was a changed team but these games are supposed to build cohesion and confidence. The manner of the goals we lost was a problem again. Not defending the corner for the first and not playing to the whistle for the second. How many times have we seen that ? I'm worried. I have been since the first game we saw. Edit.... The other issue is we cannot score goals. Chances again for the usual suspects last night but again they fail to bury them.

Your best defensive central defender partnership with this current squad is Leon Balogun and Ben Davies, Craig. They're always organised and communicate really well too. Not one of your young lads was a failure tonight and all showed tons of promise for the future. I feel genuinely bad for Todd Cantwell and the utterly vile way he's being treated by a large section of your support, these people are truly repulsive. How quickly they forget, (choose to ignore?), the fact that they're gleefully abusing a young lad who not so long ago was so disillusioned and psychologically depressed as a professional footballer that he nearly quit the game altogether. I wish the lad nothing but the very best for the future.

Everybody always talks about the Champs League, the man net from selling Bassey, Patterson, and Aribo. The facts were shown in the financial reports over the last 3 years. The Kings, Parks etc all took the money out the club as pay back for the ‘soft loans’ they had provided the club over the years. To be fair, if I loan my club £10M in interest free loans and the club makes over £40M profit, I’m taking my money back too.
