What they're saying

"
Louise: I didn't think it was possible to have a worse team than the start of last season but Rangers continue to go backwards. The only player with any heart was Findlay Curtis who had the guts to take a penalty at such a young age. Rangers were Europa finalists not too long ago and now we can't even qualify for Conference football.
