Beaten and well strirred

Our wee legionaire has turned into a tinkerman, like that guy who was manager at Chelsea. He tried to swap the team around and blew it, big time. It was only his first defeat so he is still a great manager but Hibs humped Rangers.

Hibs' New Zealand striker scored two goals and there where nine bookings and two red cards. Luckily the ref missed Rodriguez attacking Killen out it could have been worse. In fact it was Killen that got sent off for a foul on Rodriguez. Hopefully we can get that referee every week.

Having said that he set off Phil Bardsley for talking back to the referee. Maybe the Manchester United boy is getting big for his boots. He will be missing against Celtic though.

Rangers didn't have a shot at goal for the whole of the first half and could have been 5 upat half time. But Filip Sebo equalised in the second half and it looked like a lucky draw. But Killen got a goal nine minutes from time to give Hibs the win.

Luckly Rangers have Allan McGregor because he saved well to deny Ivan Sproule in the first half.

Killen then was just inches away from scoring at the far post from a Michael Stewart free-kick. Although he did score after eight minutes when he got to another Stewart free-kick and headed over McGregor.

The first half was all Hibs and McGregor did well to stop another Killen header and Karl Svensson blocked the Rob Jones' follow-up shot. Rangers did not seem to be able to deal with Hibs' pace, especially Sproule who ran the show.

Hibs had a stonewall penalty claim turned down by referee Underhill after Rodriguez attacked Killen in the box.

The second hlaf started the same as the first finished with Hibs on top. But Rangers eventually had a decent effort with a 30-yard free-kick which whistled a couple of yards wide.

Then finally Rangers got something from open play after David Murphy gave the ball away . Chris Burke got it and crossed to Sebo who head the undeserved equaliser.

Hibs got all three points when Killen headed the winner from in a great cross from Steven Whittaker with just nine minutes to go.

Then the referee sent off two players. What a muppet.

LeGuin? Starting to lose faith in this guy. What a muppet.

Hibs preview

The next Rangers match is away to Hibs at Easter Road, never an easy place to go and get a win and with the current form this will no different.

All three points are needed from this game or Celtic will be off and running and we have to play them away as well. In fact Rangers have three away matches in a row and haven't won away in ages.

For this game we need a stable team, with Buffel at the heart of everything. Plus those guys from Manchester United are brilliant and we need them to bring some class to the team.

Winning this match will give us the confidence to go into the next few weeks and if we beat Celtic we will be the best team in Scotland.

Euro Dreams

This is no excuse but even though Molde are struggling in the Norwegian league they proved to be a great team because the gave Rangers a really hard game. They will be hard to beat at Ibrox but LeGuin is the greatest manager in the world so we should be much better by then.

Rangers where lucky to get in at half time without losing a goal.

One of the Norwegians, Stian Ohr, nearly score within the first 5 minutes of the gamewhen he nearly reached Daniel Berg Hestad's cross. Ten minutes later Magne Hoseth had a headed that went over the bar. Rangers hadn't had a shot at goal yet.

Boyd had Ranger's best moved when he fell over trying to cross the ball. That was really unlucky. The Lee Martin shot wide of the mark, but it was fairly close.

There was a bit of a goalmouth scramble but the Norwegians manager to clear the ball away. And then it was half time.

The second half wasn't much easier and the Norwegians should have have a penalty but the referee missed the Rodriguez foul.

McGregor made a great save from a Hestad shot that looked a certain goal.

All things considered Rangers will be glad they didn't play a better Norwegian team and hope they can keep a clean sheet a Ibrox. Hopefully LeGuin will show some of his managerial genuis in the next macth.

More Buffel Please

This was a easy match against a rubbish team and once again Buffel has been left out by LeGuin, but more about that later.

Boyd was fouled by Kenny Milne and the Manchester United player Phillip Bardsley scored his first goal for Rangers from a free-kick then Dado Prso scored. It should have been another penalty but Prso scored so that's all right.

Boyd scored from a penalty after Bazza Ferguson, on as a second-half substitute, passed to Boyd in the box and was brought down.

Eventually Buffel came on as a substitute and showed why he should have been on from the start when he scored with a brilliant shot. He was class when he controlled a pass from Smith before a brilliant shot into the net.

Message to Leguin let the best palyers play. Get Buffel on at the start.

Too Late LeGuin

What else can be said about this match, not much you might think.
Well I have something to say. Why was Buffel kept out the game
for so long?

LeGuin brought in Allan McGregor, Alan Hutton and Libor Sionko
but no place in the starting line up for our best player, Beffel, against
a Killie team with two ex-Gers Allan Johnston and Peter Leven.

Let's hope the Ex-Rangers player don't kick lumps out of out players
like they did in the last game.

Things looked bad when Kris Boyd missed an easy chance to score
in fourteen minutes from a Brahim Hemdani pass. Buffel would at
least have hit the target, if not scored.

Two minutes later another miss from another Rangers player.

Killie where so bad that they could not get the ball. Rangers where
so bad that they could get a goal. This time it was Martin who missed.
Almost immediately Boyd failed to score.

Eventually Killie got a chance, luckily Rodriguez was there to make
the last gasp tackle. I really like that guy, right place, right time.

The luck must have been running with Rangers as we took the lead
just before half time through Boyd.

1-0 at half time.

Kilmarnock brought on a couple of subs and strarted to play the better
football. With a decent shot from Johnston.

Rangers missed a few more chance with the Killie goalie saving everything.

It had to happen and true enough it did, Kilmarnock got an equaliser.
1-1 on the hour with a header from Frazer Wright. Rangers just kept
missing everything, Prso this time.

Killie had another chance, this time to go in front. At last LeGuin
worked out what was wrong, he brought on Buffel to bring some class
to the midfield.

Prso missed again after great work from Buffel, but at least we had
our best player on now. He was causing all sorts of problems and that
allowed Boyd to score and put Rangers in the lead.

Hard as it is to believe Buffel made space and his shot was goal bound
until the Killie goalkeeper Smith made a world class save.

But just as before Buffel cannot play in every position. The defense
gave away a penalty that Naismith scored to make it 2-2.

Another two points had been thrown away.

LeGuin made no appology for not playing Buffel from the start.
He seemed a bit confused. Not good for the manager to be confused.
