Birmingham City 2-1 Rangers FT reaction

Derek reacts to tonight's game from St Andrew's

[@tonycardall7334]

I thought we dominated the first half and looked comfortable until we made 7 subs on 64 minutes then lost our shape. Your support was a credit to your club .

[@mzaking]

Wow, your fans were the best away fans I've seen down the blues. Thank you for bringing the noise. The atmosphere was electric. I know you lost but 2nd half you played well. 1st half we smashed you with some amazing play. I wish you the best this season, you deserve it with that support. Trevor would of been proud.

[@worldsgreatestdj]

Best of luck this coming season

[@Bornblue1872]

We’re an absolute mess at the moment so don’t take too much from that game 😂 Good luck for the season 🔵👏🏻

[@neilmclean4439]

Cheers Pal. Good luck to you guys too.

[@alanfox691]

Good luck Birmingham City for the season ahead, hopefully in future seasons you will be playing Aston Villa again. Birmingham City are a club I look out for in terms of The E.F.L. Our club is a shambles from top to bottom at the moment it's sad when the only positive about our club is the fanbase.

[@BryanSp]

We are fuckin rotten Derek. Without major change we are DOOOOMED 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

[@williamsafari6437]

cantwell has officially asked for a transfer clement has confirmed. clement looks like he has had enough

[@davidfraser6950]

No.He's getting shot of the ones he thinks aren't good enough.

[@stevopirate9017]

We've all had enough, William. The boy has shown himself to be a roaster time and again. Need these personalities booted from the squad.

[@alanfox691]

Clement has absolutely no clue what is best starting line up is & that is worrying at this point in pree - season. The Board needs to step down as soon as work is completed on The Copland Road stand I will not change my mind on that one. The board is too happy to just get the money in but spend as little on players as they think they can possibly get away with It's high time this was could out wee need change at all levels at the club we can't move forward the way the club is at this point in history.

[@obez]

It’s okay to admit that Birmingham played well.

[@scotty871]

Hope Stevie on 2moro only 1 that doesn’t butter it up

[@scottmcarthur7496]

Agreed stevie is good

[@dougiedeans7607]

Doesn’t matter where one the chuckle brothers is going as long as he is

[@jmckenzie5402]

Scott wright is doing alright.. But when we are consistently seeing that Scott Wright is our best performer in various games, its worrying circumstances. Our issues with transfers out, they tend to happen later in the window.. Which doesnt help.. As we stand, I am worried.

[@alanfox691]

When Wright , Dessers & Lawrence look like your only player with any kind of fitness levels, you have a problem the size of the Earth in football terms. I expect us to finish 20 points behind Celtic & 10 in front of Hearts, it's going to be a very painful season ahead. I believe next summer ( 2025 ) The worse is to come. I am starting to fear we have massive financial problems just like before all the signs are there.

[@worldsgreatestdj]

Powderpuff pretty much sums it up Derek

[@user-jt6qs3dw1r]

Always knew club was skint and were in big trouble for years got called a Tim for telling the truth absolute weapon JD and anyone else who is deluded

[@user-gf6yl8jg6z]

That JD twat also crying that I'm being too negative. Totally over the Bennet apologists The Tavernier apologists And tell you what. If celtic beat horse us on 1 September. It's over for Clement. And the board. And the players. It's gonna blow. The fans deserve better. And we'll for change if we have to. Just as Celtic fans did in the 90s when they realized they were getting shafted big time by their board.

[@alanfox691]

To be absolutely honest I fear we are heading back into financial trouble next summer.

[@dollar1827]

Never want to see dessers in a rangers top again. He offers absolutely nothing.

[@BillyMcMorran]

He offers 20+ goals a season.

[@bobdublin825]

Cantwell wants out! The ship is sinking

[@user-jt6qs3dw1r]

It's been sinking since gerrard left

[@bobdublin825]

@@user-jt6qs3dw1rI mean,, board members are leaving cause they know something is internally wrong at Rangers

[@vinnman18]

The players aren't up to the task, not Clements fault

[@neilmcilwrath5951]

​@@bobdublin825What board members would that be?

[@alanfox691]

Cantwell wants out because he always looks for the easy option instead of looking at himself mentally he is still a teenager, and he will not take responsibility for his own actions we wants out because of his own fulishnes on the pitch & online he argues with Clement when he is on the pitch & with the fanbase online he is a failure of a player he will end up drifting out of the game all together he was close to calling it a day when he was at Norwich City before Rangers came in for him he is mentally fragile to put it nicely.

[@HarryTheHacker55]

I'm worried, my crystal ball shows Clement walking and taking over . . . . Derek McInnes!!

[@alexcampbell3032]

A pair of crystal balls more like.

[@CafeMambo1982]

Well I have to be honest I wouldn’t trust this board to make a good appointment if that happens. They don’t even trust themselves to make a choice,they had to get souness in,Clement has defo got something but like you I can see him walking if he doesn’t get properly backed.

[@alanfox691]

My uncle went to High School with McInnes wee brother & still talks to him & that ship saled a long time ago. Plus, he has sesd himself he will tell the full story of why he did not take the job last time after he ends his managerial career. So there is zero chance McInnes will be the next Rangers manger would you work for this Rangers board Clement was made promises that where just blatant lies he has sead that himself. Clement is an angry, frustrated man at the moment his is just as frustrated as the rest of us. It's the boad that needs to go once the work on The Copland Road stand is complete, not Clement . He's just being made a scapegoat buy the board. We are stuck with the situation until the work on The Copland Road stand is complete at the earliest. If I was a season ticket holder, I would be having bayers remorse right now because that is money down the drain because of the blatant lies the board has told us they are an absolute discrase.

[@JustMyFish]

We dominated the first half and looked superior to Rangers until we made 7 subs on 64 minute all under 18s by the way then lost our shape a bit. But I'm sorry Scottish football standards are not at the level of UK league 1 Rangers/Celtic would be midtable at best.

[@robertlang1439]

We are pish

[@homer1991]

No need to read the lineup Derek. We know, we suffered it.

[@ChrisMcFarlanee]

Game was hoachin’, but lot of promising transfer news

[@Therapist_sells]

Derek you said you would have Nsiala I'm you're starting line up against hearts!

[@derekleith2962]

Goldson rubbish anyway

[@jamiecarlin-KING]

How can we be getting both Cerny and Whittaker? They both play in the same position unless we are using Whittaker as a striker which would probably be a master stroke because I think his finishing is that good and he is 6 foot 3. I don’t think we’re getting Whittaker I’ll believe that when I see that!

[@alanfox691]

Whittaker would come in as Clement's perferd number 10, but in order for that to happen, we need players out the door first & a good few of them out the door at that. I think we have some deals lined up, but we need players out the door first & they are not keen to go because they are on good wages at Rangers.

[@HeyitzGary89]

5m euros is a great deal. Worried about the amount we will get for goldson

[@alanfox691]

At this moment I would flog Goldson on Gumtree or Ebay, I want him gone that much from our club.

[@Dadopŕsoblueboots]

Manager has lost the dressing room

[@alanfox691]

I honestly think Clement has not got a clue what his best starting line up is the time to experiment was against Ajax. Clement looks angry & frustrated he looks like a man who can see the problems, but hss no idea how to fix the problems he has. I dont believe he has lost the dressing room it's more he is being hindered by the board & the fulse promises. I suspect Clement will depart Rangers buy mutual consent after the first 10 games if new signings are bot brought in rapidly & I mean buy next Wednesday at the latest. If we dont get players in Clement is a dead man walking & the board have hung him out to dry.

[@joe9042]

I know. They were brought in, because they could 'allegedly' do the job and hit the ground, running.

[@neilmclean4439]

We are terrible. We have no chance of getting into the Champs league and zero chance of winning any trophies. Glad to hear that Todd is leaving. His attitude is absolutely stinking.

[@andrewmacdonald448]

Celtic going win this at a canter

[@alanfox691]

Celtic 20 points a head of Rangers, Rangers only 10 points in front of Hearts in third is my prediction.

[@johntthomson7538]

Kelly kicked the ball far too long. Where is Buckland? This was a shambles too many rubbish players.

[@user-gf6yl8jg6z]

Anyone count the mis-placed passes today? Wtf

[@alanfox691]

More & more as pree- season goes on.

[@shazluke]

Slightly disrespectful to Birmingham, 1st half we played you off the park. We are not a league 1 side other than in name. We would absolutely walk the SPL

[@paulwilson699]

Celtic would thrash you

[@grantmcroberts4089]

No yous wouldn't

[@alanfox691]

To be honest, I follow Carlisle United aswell & with the players coming in to Brunton Park now a day's under the Jacksonville based ownership we could finish compatibility in the top half of the Scottish Premier League Celtic are a poor side as well Scottish football standards have continued to plumit since 2008 in general.

[@user-gf6yl8jg6z]

Where you/we start. Board is garbage and use-less Players are garbage and use-less And yeah - here it comes.... Manager is garbage and use-less Wait... the manager is "garbage and Use-less" ?? Yes. Imagine signing Nsiala and Igamane - who can't make the 1st team IMEADIATELY. Then yes. 100%. The manager just doesn't understand what's required. Also: NO clear style. NO clear pattern. And crucially - the players LOOK SLOW. HE HARPED ON ABOUT FITNESS ( being to blame ) Pre-season almost over. And we look slower than a week in Bar L. Obviously.
