Examining Rangers 2025-26 season: it's the longest podcast ever recorded. Unsurprisingly #rangers

Ajouté : 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Tom Miller, of Rangers TV, he told us that pitch at that plastic pitch at Falkirk, that was the last that was the last game it would be getting played on it this season ever. It's getting changed.

[00:00:13]I think they've got the new pitch outside. He was saying, you know, probably between the the Falkirk Stadium in in Grangemouth oil refinery, we're going to get the the new plastic pitch, a better standard of plastic pitch, better standard of fake pitch in next season.

[00:00:26]So, that was literally that was the last game it's going to be played on that surface. It was dead rubber. We're playing on dead rubber on dead rubber, rubber that was no longer going to be It was It gone to meet its makers. It shuffled off this mortal coil. That was dead rubber that we were playing that game on on Saturday. And how appropriate. How appropriate when Danny Wilson first got against Falkirk at Ibrox, it was nil-nil.

[00:00:49]Nil-nil at Ibrox as he tried to just find something, some way of making this team they'd inherited from Russell Martin less beatable, never mind winning. And the next time he played Falkirk, it was on that rubber. It was on that plastic pitch. And we're two nothing down to them. And then we scalped them 6-3 in the end up. And it was beautiful.

[00:01:11]And this was before we had we had a weekend off before we'd go into the split. We're a point off the top we were.

[00:01:18]Maybe not the favorites to win the title, but we fancied ourselves. The entire Rangers support was up for it. We thought this is great. Look at the way we were scoring the goals.

[00:01:25]And then we've gone back there again.

[00:01:27]And that's that was the last game we won. It was the last time we've been at Falkirk. The next game we win is the next time we're at Falkirk. And we've lost the four games in between. The title challenge is dead. Most Falkirk and Celtic fans will tell you my club died, but this dead. And it was indeed a zombie version of that previous game at Falkirk where every goal we scored was making us think, "Yeah, beauty. Oh, this is amazing. The attacking football, we can do this. We're going to win this title.

[00:01:52]We're holding in this title win into the split." A point off the top. We've ended the split. Just five games later, 10 points off the top. And to go out there and score a couple of goals in the first 7 minutes is almost an insult to the memory that we'd had the last time at Falkirk.

[00:02:09]It was this horrible impersonation. This empty facsimile taunting us of what we did the last time at Falkirk. We won this game 5-2. Won by three goals again again at Falkirk, but it was dead rubber. They see the challenge was dead and it was so um It was new It's Zulte Waregem. Michael Beale. It's Zulte Waregem. I've said that before. Zulte Waregem is one of the team names that makes you think you can speak Flemish. They make you think you can speak They're like on Borussia Mönchengladbach. Maybe makes you feel that you can speak a bit of German just being able to say it. Borussia Mönchengladbach. And Zulte Waregem was the Belgian or the Flemish Belgian version of it. Zulte Waregem, you know what I'm saying?

[00:02:44]And that's where Michael Beale's popped up at. He's their their head coach.

[00:02:46]Remember Michael Beale was >> [sighs] >> when he came back to Rangers, he actually did better I think than Danny Rowe. And his he comes back that same pattern that we're still in. We're still in that same pattern.
