Cool It Boughy!
Madjid Bougherra is a passionate footballer. We all know that and it's part of the reason he's endeared himself so much to the Rangers fans. But he's not doing himself any favours by letting his temper compromise him and his team. Both Sasa Papac and Pedro Mendes have found it necessary to speak out about what happened in Saturday's game at Motherwell and I'd like to think Walter Smith had a few choice words with him too.
To be fair, he has since come out and apologised but he really needs to make sure he doesn't let his temper get the better of him in future. He'll now miss next weekend's trip to Kilmarnock, with Lee McCulloch probably filling in as cover. With resources thin in the central defensve area, this shows that we can ill-afford to lose Bougherra for such stupidly self-inflicted reasons.
You've said you'll change Madjid, now you've got to show it.

- And of course Weir is out which is a blow although I'm sure McCulloch won't ket us down. It really shows how thin we are at CB at the moment
- Also glad to see Naismith playing, I'm sure he'll manage to get at them and cause a few problems at the back.

Bougherra is a tenacious player but you’re correct, he does have to cool it & think of the consequences in terms of missing future games. More importantly though, this incident highlights further the real need to strengthen in central defence-especially when our other first choice is 39 years old.
Whilst we know there are financial constraints, I believe not bringing in adequate cover in this area has been a major mistake from Smith. Let’s hope it doesn’t come back to haunt us as the season continues.
Good luck with the site. Match report was comprehensive, balanced & better than anything you’d find on the online newspapers.
