    This. There's literally no excuse as to why we haven't seen Osmand.

    I was one of Rodger's supporters however, the performances of our last two games has me now thinking that maybe Rodgers was at it. Sad id true

    Rodgers told us that Scales and Trusty couldn't play together....against Hearts.

    Today they started a Glasgow derby semi-final and strolled it

    Thats two players in 24 hours have figuratively stuck the boot into him.

    Osmund just there, and Sviatchenko; who is still waiting on an explanation as to why he was dumped out the squad and sent down to train with the kids.

    Its obvious that he lost the dressing room.

    Look at Cal, Maeda, Trusty, Osmund, etc. Christ even Hatate got going in extra time.

    The guy is a * imposter, who unfortunately still has alot of fans on these boards fooled.

    I kept saying that during his first season back as well. And i still stand by it that for the first half of that season he should have been getting more out of that squad. We did eventually click and went on a good run and won the league.

    Excuses running out now for the Rodgers fan boys. Guy was a * disgrace this season with his antics, not a chance I'm having folk admonish him of his failures.

    I mean rangers got through 1 on 1 with the keeper 3, maybe 4 times today? They hardly strolled it. Schmeichel saved us. Scales made 1 fantastic recovery tackle, but the way he let him through was slack as *.

    They did stroll it. They kept Chermiti quiet and Danilo offered them no threat either. Rangers threw on literally all of their flair players and are always going to get a couple of chances.

    They didn't have 4 one on ones.

    Also the wider point is Rodgers is clearly talking utter *.

    But if he had played Osmand earlier and he had a stinker then it could be seen as he’s fed him to the wolves. Dane Murray shouldn’t have started ahead of Trusty, i get that - but he does have some experience under his belt. He just made a total * of it.

    Also, it’s a possibility that if Inheanacho was available then we might not have seen Osmand today.

    Rodgers just bombed players out it he didn't like them it would seem even if they would improve the team. He wasnt doing his job properly. Glad he's away.

    I get Murray had some experience but him and Donovan together against top of the table. Rodgers has prior anyway, how many of the signings from the first season got a fair crack? Palma and Bernardo? The second players got a bit more of a chance although by the time he left Idah was gone, Engels, Trusty and Bernardo all dropped. They cost a combined £30m.

    Rodger's vendetta with the Board cost us Champions League progression and left us high and dry 8 points behind the Jambos.

    I don't think he has any room left to talk, except for all the porkies he spouts.

    I think time was kind to him when he left first time around.

    This time maybe not so much this week alone is pretty bruising the players seems re energised and we're actually putting the ball in the box as opposed to passing around it. Osmand coming in from cold storage and looking excellent as well. Trusty getting motm whilst playing on the right ...

    His public rhetoric was made a mockery of in the first half.

    He shouted about intensity and pace and power and the lack of it after the transfer window. The same players showed all of that and more.

    I beleive he’s no played certain players so he could pull the narrative that the club didn’t back him

    Regardless of who is telling lies between him and Desmond, it’s clear the players weren’t playing for him. Night and day the last couple of games. A hugely depleted team playing their hearts out and giving their all.

    If the game had went to penalties he'd tell the players to pass it sideways. :BR1: :56:
