August - A point to prove!
Rangers vs Dunfermline
Scottish League cup 1st round

It is always a nice feeling to say you are through to the next round of any cup competition, and today we gave ourselves the opportunity to say that, thrashing Dunfermline 5-1, the pick of the goals was Lewis MacLeod's superb volley. He played well all game, he played crisp, and pacey passes all game long and even set up two of the goals, and that is why he will get man of the match.

Rangers vs Stenhousemuir
Scottish league 1

We kicked off our Scottish League 1 campaign with a win against arguably one of the best teams in the league...Stenhousemuir. We were the dominant side all of the way through the game, notching an impressive 22 shots to their 7. David Templeton got the only goal of the game in the 17th minute, he was the key to this win and was probably the only player on the pitch to make a difference, every other player cancelled each other out but David used his flair and pace to win the game for us.

Cowdenbeath vs Rangers
Scottish Challenge cup 2nd round

We can say we are through to the next round in the League cup, but unfortunately not for the Challenge cup. We were extremely poor in this game and I am disappointed with the lads, we were 2-0 down for most of the game up until the 61st minute...when they scored again, however, 3 minutes later we got ourselves a goal and were ready to fight for our place in the 3rd round, 26 minutes later in the 90th minute we scraped a second goal, but was there enough time to get a third? of course there wasn't, we left it too late and I made my thoughts perfectly clear to the lads. I can't help but think...had we not let in a third, would the outcome be different? I will give my man of the match too Kyle Miller, who was brilliant for Cowdenbeath.

Dunfermline vs Rangers
Scottish League 1

Our second game against Dunfermline this month, but this time in the League, we didn't core as many as last time but we got the win nonetheless and we played just as well. Striker Lee McCulloch got both of goals and played absolutely brilliantly, I will hope to see more of the same from him, he will also get man of the match.

Rangers vs Dundee United
Scottish League cup 2nd round

A fantastic result for everyone involved with this game, we truly have bounced back from the Cowdenbeath result with a brilliant win against Dundee United, I was expecting a footballing lesson here but it looks like we were the teachers, and they were our students. We got off to a great start scoring both of our goals in the first 15 minutes, they then got their only goal of the game in the 44th minute. We were pretty dominant for the first half, but in the second it was clear we were starting to get tired, but we kept to our defensive duties and braved the storm, Emilson Cribari was solid in defence and he was one of the reasons we managed to keep our lead...Man of the match for the Brazilian. We also drew Motherwell in the 3rd round which will probably be an even tougher test.

Rangers vs Forfar
Scottish League 1

A great end to a fine month, with a 2-0 win against Forfar. Shiels and McKay got the 2 goals to seal the three points, in just 3 minutes, for the remaining 70 minutes we dominated, kept possession, and saw out the game. Danny Shiels was great in this game and had to play out of position and ended up on the score sheet so our man of the match...is Dean Shiels.
