I’m sure rangers would have struggled against prime relegation candidates livi had that goal been ruled out 
No shot on target and two touches of the ball in our box the entire game. What a thing to be raging about after that weekend of football
Raging? Why do you always want to make false accusations like that? I'm only highlighting what everyone else is talking about. You are just too desperate to attempt to downplay. I think you are desperate to close down the conversation as you know there is an issue. No shot on target and two touches of the ball in our box the entire game.

Rangers were struggling. As the pundits had highlighted Rangers had ran out of ideas. The crowd had gone tense. The BBC report says the wind caused the Livingston goalkeeper the most issues.
Livingston must be fed up playing Rangers. The breakthrough goal this time, both penalties in the last game, the disallowed goal last season and I'm sure there was other controversial incidents in a couple of the other games. That's just Livingston.
How do you feel that after so many recent games that opposition managers, the review shows, and ref watch are left talking and agreeing about so many of these controversial decisions?
It doesn't look good when Rangers and controversial decisions keep coming up.

At no point in the game were Rangers struggling despite the throwaway comment you heard on the radio.

Not only did Livingston not have a shot on target, they didn't even manage to register a shot all game.

Thought we played rather well the first half against Aberdeen. Direct, fast and pressed. Hit the bar a good too many times and the amount of open goals we miss is criminal. The new winger looked electric for his short cameo. He's going to be vital in the run in. Even the big striker everyone moaned about actually had a great few touches, brought players into the game. I'd start both Wednesday. That's japan knocked out now so those players should be back soon. Shame about hatate though he makes such a huge difference with linking defence and attack at speed. All in all, showed enough in that game to believe we'll get this league over the line. Rangers fixture congestion is about to hit and hit hard. Should lead to a few dropped points.

Not sure what’s going on at Celtic
Hart is below par keeper , Aberdeen packed the midfield and defended well , Aberdeen has weakness with crosses but Celtic didn’t really exploit it
Elsewhere Hibs , losing again
Hearts pretty much got third sewn up
TBF to Hart he made two good saves in the 2nd halfHart is below par keeper , Aberdeen packed the midfield and defended well , Aberdeen has weakness with crosses but Celtic didn’t really exploit it
Elsewhere Hibs , losing again
Hearts pretty much got third sewn up
The problems are if we don't score early we get nervous and the opposition get a 2nd wind for the 2nd half (bare in mind Aberdeen didn't have even ONE
touch in the opposition box in the 1st half)
We're passing up too many chances and not feeding Kyogo, Rodgers needs to start getting a tune out of the team quicksmart

Neil Warnock temporarily taking over at Aberdeen. That should spice up the press conferences.
Beat me to it, I got sent a clip of him at the airport yesterday. I just hope we don't get a cold snap these next few months, sounds like he's never been this far north before.An excellent performance from rangers last night and a very enjoyable game to watch.
Some tremendous passages of play and every player put in hard graft. A great atmosphere that felt like a European game.
Even after the sending off rangers game management was top class. Miovski is a cracking player but the scoreline flattered aberdeen, they were totally dominated almost the entire game.
A real belief between the fans and players that they can go on and win this league. Neck and neck now and any slip ups will be costly for either side

Aberdeen has shown this season and last that they are good at soaking up pressure and nicking goals and points like they did against Celtic, and against Rangers previously, but unfortunately a lack of confidence throughout the team, and especially the keeper who gifted the first goal, made it that bit easier for Rangers who are on a bit of a roll at the moment. Without that gift I think the game could easily have ended a draw but it was always going to be a tougher game than Celtic. Be interesting to see what Warnock does now though, and I have to say he gave a very good post-game press conference so fingers crossed he can instil a bit of confidence and get the team performing better till the end of the season.
