Rangers FC pre-season woes...

Today, I am writing about my team, my boys in blue, the Glasgow Rangers. First, to begin with, Rangers are coming off a hellishly long last season where the team played over 70 fixtures. The Rangers had to chased a unprecedented three trophies (SPL title, Scottish Cup and UEFA Cup), in one season. Although the 'Gers only finished with two, and just nearly lost the SPL titles to a controversial end of the season, finishing runner-up to their age old rivals, Celtic.
The Glasgow Rangers start this season buying two new forwards to add to their strike force(Verlika, Lafferty), as well as beefing up their already iron clad defense. But the biggest problem that will trouble the 'Gers going into this season, is they are incredibly over-run with injuries and recoveries of injured players. Their new striker, Lafferty out with a ankle injury as well as the captain, Barry Ferguson. The American, DaMarcus Beasley (DMB) out with a hamstring. The defense recently receive some blows to their armor by losing the Spanish national, Carlos Ceullar. They also lost their anchor in David Weir, who regrettably is showing their age, but he also is injured. The Rangers are starting the season with out at least five players from their core starting 11 from last season.
With all that said, all the younger boys and those who normally come off the bench will get their opportunity to show their stuff. They will need to in order to compete in Champions League play, as well as keeping up with their rivals who have made many new additions to bolster their squad. It seems Strachan realized they wont be able to bank on Rangers being so exhausted at the tail end of the season. We definitely added some depth to our squad to hopefully last through the long season ahead. We look a little discombobulated in form on the pitch, but mainly due to the lack in chemistry between new players and those who haven't played much before. But, I am hoping that with all these core players out for the start of the season, we should be able to finish strong and hopefully (fingers crossed, God, please read this!), finish with three different pieces of silverware this season!

COME ON YOU 'GERS!
