Rangers Rumours

18 Apr 2024 21:28:49
An old sports editor colleague of mine believes we are already in talks with Oli McBurnie and Paddy McNair.

18 Apr 2024 23:09:04
Oli McBurnie Is a no brainer for me 27 years old and this season so far 20 league games 6 goals and 3 assists and would be a free transfer I believe.

19 Apr 2024 06:37:07
Wonder what wages would be required and how it would effect our wage structure.
Like idea of McNair but in balance re Mc Burnie and the baggage 🤔.

19 Apr 2024 07:21:32
Big target man n Rangers daft, not that that's got anything to do with it, but could he possibly do a job?

19 Apr 2024 07:25:14
Mcnair 29 next week, Tfm saying 20k a week BF2.

19 Apr 2024 08:27:39
I don't get this with McBurnie, I think he is awful, only reason people talk about him to rangers because he supports the team. Shankland and Miovski are far better options, yes u will need to pay but McBurnie is awful, if he was doing well he would be in the Scotland squad, he hasn't been near it in absolute year.

19 Apr 2024 09:56:30
If we are signing a Rangers daft Scottish centre forward I’d take Shankland all day long over McBurnie. Above all else we need strikers who are a goal threat, nobody better in our league than Shankland at bringing that and he’s not going to cost as much going into his last year of contract.

18 Apr 2024 14:18:50
A week after the cup win I was chating to a celtic supporter during
a discusion about both teams he said that he heard our players were not to happy about a bonus they were expecting, Ithought him saying that was just banter but now i'm wondering if it is true and has caused a change of attitude with the players since then.

18 Apr 2024 14:57:57
Why would a celtic fan know anything about Rangers financial bonus agreements, is your friend also a financial expert 🤔.

18 Apr 2024 15:09:07
Sorry I don't believe that our drop off is simply that when it got serious certain players wet the bed and the others aren't good enough to cover for those guys.

18 Apr 2024 15:41:33
What is the bonus for? I see no reason to pay a bonus to our players of any significance!

18 Apr 2024 17:04:18
Correct one Walter.

18 Apr 2024 18:04:21
do not know if it is still the same but were bonouses not sorted out at the start of the season.

18 Apr 2024 19:12:10
Beauty, that is the norm.

18 Apr 2024 21:23:27
Id give them a big pair a steelies to the santa claws as a bonus.

18 Apr 2024 23:11:03
Boys will not be happy the cash they winning the league and the club getting champions league will be quick a sum I believe but it’s up to them to make that happen if we win every game and beat them at Celtic park we still have a chance.

19 Apr 2024 09:32:18
aye because they aren't paid enough lol.

Gone are the days when players played for the badge. its a disgrace.

17 Apr 2024 00:14:19
Thought I'd post this wee rumour here and I stress it is a rumour, the father son duo who were let go as groundsman at Dundee were to sign an agreement with Dundee for a payout so as not to speak to press etc, the father did however I'm hearing the son didn't and has proof on his phone etc by way of messages from Dundee manager to "flood the pitch" for their Aberdeen game which was called off due to a waterlogged pitch, the reason being injuries and suspensions had Dundee down to the bare bones, now as I said this is a rumour from a workmate who is a Dundee fan who also said the son is in talks with newspapers about breaking the story, time will tell if there is anything in this or if it is just my work mate at the wind up.

17 apr 2024 07:41:04
a very interesting tale, and one i will await the outcome of with relish, probably not true, but then again, football is a murky business sometimes, this sort of thing has occurred many times, and other dodgy practices, yes, very interesting indeed, not unheard of.

17 Apr 2024 08:58:34
Sounds like a wind up but if true I reckon it would've been the club hierarchy handing out the instruction not the manager. Would love it to be true and they get banged down the leagues for cheating!

17 Apr 2024 09:13:55
Well if true and either signed an nda and are leaking info to press Dundee can sue them for everything they've got.

17 apr 2024 10:18:24
no they cant.

17 Apr 2024 11:05:58
I’ll go for incompetence over conspiracy pretty much every time.

17 Apr 2024 12:03:15
Tom if an NDA is broken there are financial legal implications, yes they can mate.

17 apr 2024 12:10:02
not for everything you got they cant.

17 apr 2024 12:13:23
most nda are broken legally, and some will cost you financially, they won't sue you for everything is what i said, not they won't sue you, , nda is a minefield, many have been challenged and torn up before, not as simple as just " sue you for everything you have "

17 Apr 2024 13:45:23
Just to clarify lads, the story I was told was the father had signed the nda but the son hadn’t, hence if all of this is true there wouldn’t be anything Dundee could do if it came from the son, as I say it could be workmate at the wind up but stranger things have happened.

17 apr 2024 14:32:41
if so the massive skoolboy error 56

getting the father to sign any nda and not the son would be almost criminal . hope so.

17 Apr 2024 17:22:18
I'm with you now tom, aye there's huge financial risk at stake for breaking one though, you're right, of course the keyword here being IF anything was signed.

17 Apr 2024 18:37:42
I was chatting to a Dundee fan on Facebook this week who showed me proof that the flooding is due to new build houses and insufficient drainage. He showed photos from the week the games were called off and the road was under a foot of water, all running towards Dundee's stadium. Apparently the SNP led Council need to stump up £3.5mill to fix this issue, so have been putting it off.

17 Apr 2024 19:55:28
Dont think there's any new builds where water would run towards dens.

17 Apr 2024 23:02:11
Surely if Dundee's ground was affected then United's would be as well. Whatever the situation is it's a shambles and needs sorting. If it isn't sorted then Dundee shouldn't be allowed to play in the SPL.

16 Apr 2024 07:57:49
Posted a while back asking if anyone had heard the bosmans we approached were represented by wasserman football agents. (Who we have a strong relationship with) .
Heard last night Callum O hare is one gathering pace. Rejected new deal at Coventry, represented by wasserman and in our wage bracket.

16 Apr 2024 09:43:08
Good player and definitely 1 who could improve us.

16 Apr 2024 10:38:05
Mentioned o'hare weeks ago in what I thought was gd info from a friend, it wasn't, but in saying that, there might be something in it, also seen the mob were mentioning him too few days back.

16 Apr 2024 11:17:26
Given the number of players we NEED to lose and replace, I imagine at least 5 Bosmans and 2 or 3 loans.
Hope PC and co have already got a list?

16 Apr 2024 11:45:09
I suppose in regard to O'Hare only issue we have is Celtic want him as well, and if we're not in CL it might be the determining factor. Could be wrong.

16 Apr 2024 11:59:48
Bar I think loan market will need to be targeted very astutely.

16 Apr 2024 14:38:48
John is cortez resigning on loan a possibility.

16 Apr 2024 15:03:39
One Walter I’d like to think we sign him, however it maybe prudent ro tie up a loan with obligation to buy.

16 Apr 2024 18:58:57
Looking at EPL players that are available on Bosmans and given our need for an upgrade in a number of positions I wonder whether any of the following are worth a punt.

Could be wrong but is Nathan Ferguson and Will Hughes available from Crystal Palace. I watched Hughes against Liverpool and he doesn't take prisoners. He is also a better player than Lundstrum.

Ferguson is still young and a Centre Back, not sure if he has had injury problems.

Another option at centre back would be Fabian Schar, he is getting on a bit but he is a solid centre back.

Tomas Soucek at West Ham is another option for midfield, solid defensively and still only 29.

Last but not least, is Ali McBurnie an option up front. He is 27 and has to be an upgrade on anything we currently have upfront. He is also a massive Rangers Supporter which has to be a plus.

16 Apr 2024 19:20:02
Cortes is exactly the kind of winger we have been looking for. i'd be disappointed if we don't tie him down.

16 Apr 2024 21:53:07
The Southampton player rumour recently, thought to be Armstrong, could it be Che Adams who will be out of contract?

16 Apr 2024 22:31:38
Biggar I think adams could be a great replacement for Roofe. Similar type player with decent eye for goal.

16 Apr 2024 22:34:10
Was thinking that the other day Biggar, seen something about Adams, Fletcher and McBurnie, heid like a sieve, can't mind where though. Quite like Adams too.

16 Apr 2024 22:35:30
Bigger, it was Armstrong.

17 Apr 2024 08:37:37
John27 do you or anyone else know if the injury to Cortes has put doubt into the club singing him since they didn't get to see him as much as they would have liked to?

17 Apr 2024 11:22:34
Burt, given serious of injury I suspect there will be doubt, hence reason I say loan to buy obligation if he proves fitness.

17 Apr 2024 13:26:44
Cortez looks the part hopefully a loan can be sorted to free up cash elsewhere, another big rebuild does not help us but with so many out the door and others needing replaced right through the team we could be double figures in numbers going out and in.

17 Apr 2024 16:46:23
Is Nils Koppen not trying to reduce the average age of the squad? plus Schar and Soucek are probably on big wages.

17 Apr 2024 23:10:40
Copland, my understanding is that we are looking for a mixture of youth and experience. Soucek in particular would be a massive upgrade in what we currently have and he might happy to move for a lower wage if he was given a 3 year contract. Definitely a better option than Lundstrum.
We have to start signing better quality players with fight and the right mentality. Otherwise next season will just be another like this season and Celtic will move even further ahead.

18 Apr 2024 12:37:37
Fork, none of the hammer throwers in this league going to knock McBurnie about, he wants to come here .
