What Rangers AGM question would you ask the Ibrox board? Monday Jury

Is Lionel Messi about to get the perfect happy ending in Qatar?

KEITH JACKSON: Fingers crossed. The little man belongs on a different planet to all the rest. Lifting the World Cup would be the most fitting crowning moment to a glorious career.

DAVID McCARTHY: He appears to be a man on a mission but does he have the quality around him to help him get his hands on the prize? I've got a feeling a big Mbappe sized shadow is going to be cast over Argentina by the time this all plays out.

ANDREW NEWPORT: Hopefully. For me he's the greatest that's ever kicked a ball but he needs a World Cup win to convince those in the Maradona camp. For once, his Albiceleste support cast are stepping up to the mark.

SCOTT BURNS: With Lionel Messi in your ranks you would have a chance against anyone. I still think Brazil and France will be too strong. But it would be a great end if Messi and Argentina were to lift the World Cup.

Name your best XI from the World Cup so far.

KEITH: I’m going 4-3-3. Wojciech Szczesny (POL), Denzel Dumfries (NED), Harry Souttar (AUS), Virgil van Dijk (NED), Marcos Ancuna (ARG), Carlos Casemiro (BRA), Stephen Eustaquio (CAN), Gavi (ESP), Vinicius Jr (BRA), Lionel Messi (ARG) Kylian Mbappe (FRA).

DAVID: (4-3-3) Wojciech Szczęsny (POL), Achraf Hakimi (MOR), Josko Gvardiol (CRO), Lisandro Martinez (ARG), Theo Hernandez (FRA); Casemiro (BRA), Jude Bellingham (ENG), Hakim Zyech (MOR), Lionel Messi (ARG), Cho Gue-Sung (KOR), Kylian Mbappe (FRA).

ANDREW: Wojciech Szczesny (POL), Jurrien Timber (NED), Virgil van Dijk (NED), Souttar (AUS), Joao Cancelo (POR), Jude Bellingham (ENG), Gavi (ESP), Federico Valverde (URG) Kylian Mbappe (FRA), Alvaro Morata (ESP), Lionel Messi (ARG).

SCOTT: I’ve gone with a 3-4-3 formation. Wojciech Szczesny (POL), Denzel Dumfries (NED), Virgil van Dijk (NED), Aziz Behich (AUS), Cody Gakpo (NED), Enzo Fernandez (ARG), Carlos Casemiro (BRA), Marcus Rashford (ENG), Lionel Messi (ARG), Kylian Mbappe (FRA), Alvaro Morata (ESP).

Was Ange Postecoglou being disrespectful to Michael Beale when he said he's more worried about what he's having for dinner than who's in charge at Ibrox?

KEITH: No. The big Aussie was being honest. He’s focussed purely on what his side does. Keep on doing what they’re doing and it doesn’t matter who’s in charge across the city.

DAVID: I don't think he was deliberately disrespectful. It was his way of saying he is only interested in his team. Although if Rangers beat Celtic on January 2, Beale may well be thinking: 'there's yer dinner!'

ANDREW: He was being playful rather than disrespectful. At the end of the day, it's up to Beale to earn Postecoglou's respect by winning matches. Only then will he give the Celtic boss something to chew on.

SCOTT: It probably wasn't the greatest of answers but Ange has got that in him to be somewhat sarcastic if it is a question he doesn't like. Ange will also know it is the kind of answer that the Celtic fans will lap up. He isn't stupid.

It's the Rangers AGM on Tuesday. What question would you ask the board?

KEITH: Will Michael Beale be backed in the January transfer window? If the new boss isn’t properly funded then he doesn’t stand a chance.

DAVID: Are you willing to step aside if a potential investor is ready to come in with an offer that would enable them to take control of the club and move it forward?

ANDREW: Why did they not allow Gio van Bronckhorst to add to his squad after securing their Champions League windfall and what level of funding will Michael Beale get to begin his rebuild in January?

SCOTT: What is the situation with Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos and surely they can't be able to leave for nothing come the end of the season.
