The first step to success: Celtic v Rangers
It's fair to say Rangers supporters' apathy to international breaks has been increasingly noticeable over the last ten years. The 'journey', including an obvious lack of quality players for several years since we were demoted to 2012, meant few Rangers players were involved at that level. Other than Lee Wallace on our return to the top league, few Rangers players stood out enough to be considered good enough to play for Scotland, whilst the other foreign players we recruited were hardly top of their country's class either.

The Threat in Tilburg: Willem II v Rangers
Dubbed by some Rangers fans Willem II vs William's XI, although Thursday's game will be the first ever meeting of the two historic clubs there is a strange feeling of familiarity about this early season Europa League clash. Again, Rangers’ opening Europa League fixture involved a trip to Gibraltar to play on the same plastic pitch, with almost the exact same result. Coincidentally, our Dutch opponents met our 2nd round opponents of last year, Progrès Niederkorn, and dispatched of them with the same 5-0 scoreline. And whilst it was later in the competition we met a Dutch side last season in Feyenoord, pundits will also draw strong comparisons between Willem II and last season’s 3rd round opponents, FC Midtjylland. As another young, up-and-coming side await, Steven Gerrard will be hoping for a similar outcome and a chance to set up a tasty tie with Turkish giants Galatasaray, almost 20 years to the day from their last visit to Ibrox in September 2000 when they were the holders of this cup (in its previous incarnation).
The Old Firm Factor
It has been a strong opening to the season for both of the Glasgow teams. Both Rangers and Celtic are looking good going into the first Old Firm of the season next month. It’s true, however, that while there have been challenging games, there haven’t been any that’ll match the intensity of this game. It’s a match that, while not having too much of a bottom-line impact on the final points tally come the end of the season, could give one side or the other the psychological edge over the other. So what should we expect from the game? Let’s take a look.

A dish best served... at five-ish: Hibernian v Rangers
My favourite revenge scene in any movie is the execution that triggers, literally, the denouement of Michael Mann’s peerless heist epic Heat. It’s not how Robert De Niro’s Neil McCauley finds Kevin Gage’s Waingro, hiding in a hotel room. It’s not that he kills him with two close-range handgun shots to the chest and one to the head. It’s that, as the thoroughly evil Waingro sits on a sofa in his bath robe, staring morosely at the floor, McCauley makes him face what’s happening to him. No. Sorry. Scrub that. He makes Waingro face who is happening to him.

Putting the Terrors to rights: Rangers v Dundee Utd
Well, the much dreaded international break didn't disappoint. It was every bit as tediously boring and excruciatingly long as feared. Tragically, some would eventually succumb to madness as everyone from Paddy Roberts to Alan Power were "linked" with sensational switches to Ibrox as the prospect of even a crumb of a genuine rumour became less and less likely before the end of the break. Fortunately, there was a welcome relief from the deafening silence around Ibrox in the scintillating football played by Steve Clarke's dynamos as Israel were bravely thwarted at Hampden and Czechia's C team were effortlessly brushed aside in Olomouc. But for now, the only thing that matters is that our players came back injury-free.

Away from the numbers
Cheeky grin in the warm-up to a masked petted lip, slumped in the stand near full-time. Yet the pictures Sportscene used to tell us Alfredo Morelos is no longer one of us (BBC Scotland’s always so keen to help) perfectly mirrored the mood journey of every bluenose, Saturday tea-time, with every occasion Rangers went up-field from Minute 20 to Minute 93 of our trip to the Fountain of How The F**k Did He Miss That Stadium: A bouncily positive start reaping early rewards became simply knowing every attack would fail.

Grinding out good times: Hamilton Acas v Rangers
I thought Saturday’s result, entirely jammy in how it came about, merely papered over the cracks of what has been a frankly disgraceful start to the season. The sight of Walter Smith by the side of the pitch only brought home how shamefully un-Rangers it all was.

Book Review: 'The 50 Greatest Rangers Games'
We all have a favourite Rangers match, or at least a handful that standout above all the others, but I’m not sure I could rank my top 50 and certainly not in order of importance. So I approached this book with a mix of trepidation and excitement.

Gers' Plastic Plight
What a difference four days make. What a difference no Aribo makes. What a difference when, instead of Clive Tyldesley and Kevin Thomson waxing knowledgeably over sun-drenched strolls on the resplendent Ibrox lawn, we have Ian Croker and Andy Walker being as dull as the clouds above our stumbles on a pish-flattened West Lothian bathroom mat.
Most of all, though, how different your run of clean sheets appears when suddenly your opponent ain’t conceding either.

Taking the early initiative: Livingston v Rangers
In the weird and, not so wonderful, pandemic affected world we currently live in, it's not really a surprise that the start of the new Scottish Premiership season has been an equally strange one. With Aberdeen and Celtic players falling foul of restrictions placed upon them (eight at the Dons and two at Celtic), and subsequent postponements of their games, the league table already has a somewhat unfamiliar look after just three games (well three for those able to actually fulfil their fixtures).

Applying Stevie's Survival Skills: Bayer Leverkusen v Rangers
Two down after an hour? Yes, but also two down within an hour. Watch the recording enough and you’ll spot the little Europa League clock up the top left of BT Sport’s screen is actually at 58 minutes and 39 seconds as the reverse shot from Abel Ruiz flies into Allan McGregor’s bottom-right corner.
A domestic season disintegrating amid refereeing errors outmatched by our own incompetence; Now, from a wrongly-awarded throw-in, Braga turn us inside-out to become the first visiting side to score two against Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in Europe.
Yet another wet, stormy night; This goal is engineered and scored amid the insolent remnants of the huge, regal, Broomloan-sized tifo unfurled pre-kick off. It’s now reduced to bin bags blowing untidily across the badly exposed pitch like so much flotsam washed up by the blue, blue, blue sea of Ibrox on which it was launched.
We’re sunk.
