Maybe he was just rested?
I haven't heard Cooper's interview but it doesn't sound positive. I notice that NR has tweeted more recently. Last one was that 'God is real'.

If Ranger has blown his chance here then he's a bigger twat than I gave him credit for.
Even if there is something in it, going two months without being a twat is still Ranger's highscore. |

After hearing Cooper's interview after the game, that pause spoke volumes to me. I too wanted to see Cooper's facial expression in the video but it's been chopped off the end. |

If you hear the interview, the question, the massive pause and the curt answer you will think it even less positive. Although Cooper does sometime pause for long periods and then jump back to life with a surprised look on his face - That's why I'd like to see the video. |

I thought it was quite interesting that they cut that question out of the video that is on line on the Adver site. Am interested to see if it ever sees the light of day, as I would like to see Cooper's facial expression when he answered the question.
Obviously something has gone on and Ranger has been dropped because of it. Let's hope that the 'something' is minor and repairable, as I think we are a better team with rather than without him. Having said that, he's not irreplaceable.
It certainly showed last night that he is a valuable asset, no real outball to the forwards that stuck, it does with Ranger and he brings others into play. Without him we were very tippy tappy around the box, nobody prepared to take it on. |

A reluctance to put crosses straight in as well. His absence certainly showed. There's almost certainly something going on here. |

People putting two and two together.
Cooper always pauses, he takes forever to answer some questions. He also said, with regards to Ajose, he wanted more from all the strikers. So it's not unplausable to say Ranger was dropped. Doesn't have to be anything sinister in it at all, players get dropped all the time.

But it's STFC there's got to be something sinister, hasn't there?  |

It wouldn't surprise me! But I dont think there is. I do think Nile has reacted badly to being dropped though.

Need to stop taking things for granted
Sounds like something is not right with him at the moment, could be the court case and all that piling the pressure on, but it could also be something going on at the club. 2 + 2 could =5 with this but then again it could =4 for once.

If he doesn't play on Saturday I'd say we won't see him again.

Maybe with it being JPT, he was just given some time away from the club, especially if he has a lot on his plate. He's played a lot of football recently, and put in a lot of effort too in the lone striker role, being kicked and elbowed all over the park... he deserves a rest.
Or he's fucked up.

Simply because I haven't seen anyone else post it, he's been a good player for us, has behaved himself well so far (as far as we know), and really acquitted himself.
Let's hope this is nothing, but if it is something, ta Nile, you've shown you're capable of being a decent player and keeping off-pitch antics from being a problem.
Don't let anyone say I'm in Denile either.

I think we're better for having Nile in the team, and he'd be a big miss if something has gone on...jumping ahead to January, if he is back in the fold (and we don't know either way yet), I feel if he's found guilty then he'd be an even bigger miss! Who knows though, I'll await the team news on Saturday to see if he was just genuinely rested.
