Time to rAlly!

I understand everyone must be angry and frustrated at the Maribor result, as I am I. But the over reaction towards the players and the management team over the last 24 hours has been nothing short of disgusting. I'm not trying to hide from last night or deny it wasn't a disasterous result, but at these times especially so early in Ally's reign I feel we should be supporting him and the team through it so we can kick on in the SPL. Let's face it, football in Scotland is on a downward spiral and has been for years, but through this time Rangers FC has carried this countries co-effcient practically on our own. So for the media to call us failures and our result embarrassing is a disgrace when you think how bad it could have been without the efforts of our team the last 3 or 4 seasons. Kaunas aside obviously.

Last night we had 23 attempts on goal and 17 on target, Jelavic and Lafferty could have had a hat-trick each. How can anyone blame Ally McCoist for the defeat with stats like that? The players have to take the blame, because of the chances we didn't take. The last three SPL games we have looked comfortable and conceded no goals in three away matches, all of which are usually three very difficult places to get results, but Ally has strolled them. To judge his managerial start on the European results I think is unfair. The league and 4 in a row is the one we all want at  the end of the day, and if we continue our current domestic form I have no doubt in my mind we can achieve this. It's time for us Bears to get behind our manager and help him lead us to title glory, leave the criticising and in house fighting to the dark side.

Looking on to our next game on Sunday, Rangers must not fall victim to the dreaded European hangover and hold on to our lead at the summit of the league. It will be a tough game as it always is when Aberdeen stroll into town, as no matter what form they are in we all know this is one of there four cup final's a season. Although with Steven Naismith back and Aleandjro Bedoya likley to make his debut, I can't see past a Gers win. One thing that has concerned me and will do on Sunday, is the lack of confidence we seem to have playing at Ibrox. Three draws so far isn't the type of form we're used to seeing there, but again I have every confidence the team will find the net soon and the floodgates will open.

I'll finish up with the point behind my title if I haven't already made it clear throughout, it's time the fans started getting behind the team rather than writing us off four league games in. I know last night was hard to swallow but like every good Rangers team have done, we'll stand up dust ourselves down and move on to the next opponent! As of Sunday our aim is to bring title number 55 home, and it's also time we helped Ally through what has been a difficult couple of days and start supporting the best team in the World!
