Seen something saying we are interested Greg Stewart. Surely that's a wind up.

Blue89

1.) 11 Jan 2024 21:08:32
Good player, never got a fair chance imo at the time.
Ship has long left the port though.


2.) 11 Jan 2024 21:27:49
Difficult a wind up I'd say. can't see PC even looking at him.


3.) 11 Jan 2024 21:29:00
He never got a "fair chance" because he was nowhere good enough. C'mon, he was bang average at best! ?.


4.) 11 Jan 2024 21:29:18
Ha ha, no chance, love GS though, he turned up at another club, forget which, on first day of training with a full Rangers tracky on, no F*cks given, Rangers to the core.


5.) 11 Jan 2024 21:38:19
He's just wanting back to Scotland after being in India. He'd definitely do a job for a spl team just not us.


6.) 11 Jan 2024 21:46:06
He will go to Kilmarnock.


7.) 11 Jan 2024 22:05:28
If he's coming back its to be a chef for the Gordon Ramsay Indian range he must have learned to cook over there.


8.) 11 jan 2024 22:47:45
good striker, in the right place, not quite up to quality required,

i liked the boy tho,


9.) 12 Jan 2024 06:51:15
He’ll be back to sign with Johnstone Burgh.


10.) 12 Jan 2024 07:28:26
I think killie as well only se him at us for 6 month if we are loaning out lovelance and Stewart would be last pick striker.


 

 

08 Dec 2023 18:44:26
Based on PCs press conference I think Shankland is someone he wants. He started getting a bit twitchy when asked and then started laughing.

Are there any other decent strikers close to the end of their contracts?

Blue89

1.) 08 Dec 2023 19:04:09
There's one thing we do know as clement actually said it himself ie yes we'll be signing a striker in january ?.


2.) 08 Dec 2023 19:40:02
Blue 89, not sure how u work that out.

Shankland has 18 months left so not near the end of contract.


3.) 08 Dec 2023 20:55:00
I’ll take anyone that can consistently put the ball in the back of the net.


4.) 08 Dec 2023 21:12:06
I'm not sure Shankland is the answer.


5.) 08 Dec 2023 21:28:12
John, I’m meaning any other strikers, who are out of contract. Didn’t mean Shankland was.


6.) 08 Dec 2023 22:23:23
Azul that won’t be shankland then as half his goals last season were pens and he ain’t getting them off Tav.


7.) 09 Dec 2023 07:33:36
There will b loads blue. We need to trust the manager and head of recruitment.


8.) 09 Dec 2023 10:08:45
Agree storm . I just want us to sign a decent striker who can score bundles of goals and stay fit for a full season… that would be ideal.


9.) 09 Dec 2023 12:29:03
I didn`t think the manager was twitchy I just think he is surprised at the amount of attention him congratulating a Hearts player ( and he wasn`t the only one ) has caused. This is just assorted media building on rumours that they started. I see Lee McCulloch saying that Hearts might want £2 million for him, at that price we might be interested but not for anymore than that. We would need to be convinced though that he could be effective staying higher up the pitch and in the box . Drops way too deep at the moment to be the player we need.


10.) 09 Dec 2023 12:43:27
I'd take shankland as a Scottish option but we are not going to pay the kinda money hearts would want for Thier top performer.


11.) 09 Dec 2023 13:09:41
It’s a funny old game, shankland has been excellent for his team yet some on here wouldn’t take him
Personally I think he’d flourish even more at Ibrox.


12.) 09 Dec 2023 13:39:45
Gofor is shankland a free hit for Europe, ie I think we have only three Scottish grown in squad. Ie Souttar Jack wright

Or does he count as one of three changes allowed.


13.) 09 Dec 2023 15:45:04
shankland Is good enough for rangers it is just the cash hearts would want that puts me off.


14.) 09 Dec 2023 16:23:18
Better off Picking up Morelos on a Free.
Especially now Danilo's out long term after the injury at the hearts game.
Santos have been relegated, they can't honor the rest of Morelos's contract, so he is free to sign, has been training like mad to increase hi fitness levels, still has one of the best ratings for a striker in Europe.
Also sell Cantwell he is mince, all he does is run about like a heedless chicken, he will never recover the form he had in his wonder EPL season for Norwich, take 3 mill for him. there is no way he is worth more than 3-4 mill on his form this season.
Bring Hagi back and play him in the 10 position.
Easily the best option we have for that position.
Another stupid decision b beale along with selling Sakala.


15.) 09 Dec 2023 16:54:45
With Morelos being a free agent, we could bring him in before the transfer window opens.


16.) 09 Dec 2023 18:19:40
Morelos already downed tools for us once and thought he was way above Gers only to realise the EPL links were smoke and mirrors.

I like El buff but his mentality is the reason why we dumped him in the first place.


17.) 09 Dec 2023 19:02:00
No we can’t mark. He had a contract.


18.) 10 Dec 2023 00:11:26
There are tons of good strikers going into last year of deal I get shankland would be good for home grown quota but if rather focus on winning league first then look at players for Europe after that.


19.) 10 Dec 2023 09:15:25
Cantwell is mince? He scored exactly the type of goal you want a number 10 scoring today and unfortunately chopped off, Assists game before, c'mon man get real in the 10 he is a good player.


20.) 10 Dec 2023 12:45:28
I don't see us signing Shankland unless we can pick him up for £1m / £1.5m. He is a good goalscorer but would he score against packed defences playing for us?


21.) 10 Dec 2023 13:17:50
I thought Morelos had been out for weeks with a muscle injury, so how can he have been training like mad? He was training like mad and got into good shape before signing for Santos and, was rotten by all accounts and then got injured . Who knows what he would be like by January fitness wise, he certainly wouldn`t be match fit. let's enjoy the good memories of him and move on.


22.) 10 Dec 2023 14:37:47
The opinions on here lately have been strange
Now we have Cantwell who’s Mince
That’s a definitely no he isn’t mince quote from me.


23.) 10 Dec 2023 22:18:29
Don't get the cantwell haters boy runs his heart out every game and it's 100% commitment every game.

Surely we can't be hammering him now other areas of team we need to look at first

Find these posts highly suspicious on run up to old firm game.


24.) 12 Dec 2023 10:48:39
"Cantwell is mince" have you ever watched Rangers play?


 

 

06 Sep 2023 15:12:31
Is it true Cantwell is injured? Read he was in a leg brace after the game at the weekend.

Blue89

1.) 06 Sep 2023 15:43:00
Cantwell has been taking injections since b4 killie game.


2.) 06 Sep 2023 15:47:48
Was told on here he's been taking injections to play for a while. Time to get the injury treated whatever it is.


3.) 06 Sep 2023 17:06:30
He's been a shadow of last seasons player. Know why now.


4.) 06 Sep 2023 17:28:10
He wasn’t wearing a brace when filmed at the airport being harassed by a Celtic fan a few hours later.

Also, I seen Roofe posted a picture of him scoring a goal on Instagram but had to delete because of our own fan backlash. There’s Rangers fans all over social media absolutely slating Roofe and I have no idea what he done wrong.

Roofe scored a perfectly good goal and VAR stole it from him. If he knows that, and still wants to celebrate it on a personal level, he can. Bushy do Rangers fans need to take that moment away from him as well?

What is happening? ?‍♂️.


5.) 06 Sep 2023 17:51:41
Then why was he picked has to be the relavent question. Old Firm games are for players free of Injury that could and in this case did hamper performance .


6.) 06 Sep 2023 18:03:44
Deecee nonsense, he’s been injured every game he has played this season.


7.) 06 Sep 2023 18:21:25
Deecee you’d probably be surprised then at home many players are constantly playing with niggles and injuries, very rarely would you find a full starting 11 that’s fully fit. It’s just the different mindset of sun players. Those like Colak refused to play or train unless 100% perfect, others like Cantwell will try to play through the pain to help the team.


8.) 06 Sep 2023 18:36:22
Cantwell showed more energy, fight and enthusiasm than anybody else and after he got wiped out in the penalty and had obviously hurt his knee he came back on because we had used all our subs. He may not be as bright as he was last season but its obvious why he is playing with a niggle and an indictment of the rest that we cannot afford to rest him. The first 70 minutes against Killie showed why we need him.


9.) 06 Sep 2023 18:59:47
John 27 quite surprised tbh by your reply. and I must ask. hows it working out so far to play Injured players. especially with such a strong and injury free so it seems bench .


10.) 06 Sep 2023 20:05:47
If he's injured he needs rested and treated he cannot play to full capacity playing through injury.


11.) 06 Sep 2023 20:17:37
Injury or not Cantwell was woeful on Sunday and well below the performance we know he is capable off.


12.) 06 Sep 2023 20:59:58
Many careers finished early due to playing with injections, should not be permitted. Might be for some niggle or other but it's a dangerous game that.

Worked for a guy once who had been at Rangers, Airdrie and Durban SA and he had that done for several seasons and finished at 26 near crippled, that was knee problem that started as an occasional niggle

I understand players just not having it I knew Stephen Wright's father and the player would not do it, got real hassle over that and basically shipped out. Think he's running Dundee's academy now.


13.) 06 Sep 2023 21:29:22
Decee that’s the game mate.

Burt that’s why rangers were getting him to international break,


14.) 06 Sep 2023 22:21:30
Think that this forum has entered a new low if fans feel playing if not 100% fit is a standard that is allowed. if that really is the case inside the club with doctors etc then its no wonder that our trophy cabinet is gathering dust . once again very surprised with certain individuals on here who seem to feel that it's no biggy. Love the lad cantwell by the way but not playing with needles as a temporary fix. over-reacting. a big fat no.


15.) 07 Sep 2023 01:45:35
Deece to be fair sometimes players have no choice manager puts them in tough position instead of just saying no will play youth or move things about.


16.) 07 Sep 2023 06:51:58
It's got nothing to do with this forum deecee, it's been going on for years, tav played a lot of last season carrying an injury, whether people on this or any other forum like it or not it will continue to happen.


17.) 07 Sep 2023 07:13:28
Decee u really don’t understand football I’m afraid it’s been happening since the 60s.


18.) 07 Sep 2023 07:36:39
That's the risk of playing the game.
Especially in the premier League you.


19.) 07 Sep 2023 08:41:03
Decee, I take it you never played football just about every player wants to play every game and play on regardless of any niggle to keep his place in the team. It’s only in later years that you feel the pain.


20.) 07 Sep 2023 12:42:49
Tavernier, Lundstram, Kamara and Morelos were all known to be playing with injuries at times last season. Unfortunately the fans don`t always understand that and they get accused of playing badly or not trying. Tav went up to Dingwall last season in a separate car because he had the flu . He had shocker and got pelters for it but we did not find out what he had done to help his club until afterwards . By the way if Cantwell was woeful on Sunday I do not know how you would describe the rest of the outfield players because he was the best of them.


21.) 07 Sep 2023 12:45:30
If at least one of the coaches at least tried to look reasonably fit rather than porky I feel it would often help their argument when having a dig at a player and his fitness levels, wearing sporting goods only makes them look like dossers off on the bus to holiday at Butlins.


22.) 09 Sep 2023 13:46:07
Happening for all football history John

I'd just prefer Beale let the fans know

That way fans know who to cut some slack if performances dip.


 

 

27 Aug 2023 13:16:21
Hagi away on loan to Alaves.

Blue89

1.) 27 Aug 2023 23:10:13
Good luck to him. But think it's a mistake by us.


 

 

14 Aug 2023 19:26:07
Is Kamara to Leeds almost done? Or are they waiting on Adams being sold.

Blue89

1.) 14 Aug 2023 20:18:22
A thought it was off as I hadn’t seen or heard after being linked?


2.) 14 Aug 2023 20:55:47
I think Adams is going to Bournemouth.


3.) 14 Aug 2023 21:24:51
Still think Kamara fancies France, that move falling through must have hurt him, is it Lyon mentioned re him?


4.) 14 Aug 2023 22:39:01
It’s being reported he’s in advanced talks with Leeds.

06 Mar 2024 18:12:00
This might be a controversial one but I'd maybe start Ben Davies ahead of Souttar against Benfica. I feel like Davies plays much better in Europe as he reads the game well and it normally isn't as physical. Would also give Souttar a rest for all the upcoming games.

Blue89

1.) 06 Mar 2024 19:29:16
Nope, if u really must, then Goldson drops before Soapy, imo.


2.) 06 Mar 2024 19:44:30
Not a bad shout, blue89.


3.) 06 Mar 2024 19:46:14
Why? He’s been better than Goldson for the last 4-6 weeks now.


4.) 06 Mar 2024 20:10:57
Not for me, Blue. Souttar is a tank and a presence. He will stamp his authority all over this tricky game.


5.) 06 Mar 2024 20:25:56
Nae chance he comes in after that long out.


6.) 06 Mar 2024 21:18:50
Not played since Seville at beginning of December.


7.) 06 Mar 2024 21:43:12
Davies played a b team game a few weeks ago, yes he'll not be game fit but only one way to get that, something is telling me he'll go with three cb's, maybe even Lundstram.


8.) 06 Mar 2024 21:55:46
John / David, r you thinking of match sharpness/ pairing if goldson drops out or soapy, or just cause Davies been out the frame for a bit? If it's a must he comes in, goldson should drop 4 me, cifuentesloyal, what do u know u moved to Brazil ???.


9.) 06 Mar 2024 22:23:04
Souttar great defending cost us the 1st goal on sat.


10.) 06 Mar 2024 22:32:35
If I was to bring anyone into defence for this match it would be Balogun on the left cb in a back 5 with goldson in middle and souttar on rcb.


11.) 06 Mar 2024 23:10:59
Not available huey.


12.) 06 Mar 2024 23:46:47
Could play the three of them and use tav and Yilmaz as wing backs, solves the problem of No wingers and still play four midfielders and a striker.


13.) 07 Mar 2024 01:00:36
Lack of game time stops that.


14.) 07 Mar 2024 01:36:37
Good shout coopersdad.
John, going by that mindset that means no one coming back from injury will play again this season as every game is a must win and none of them will be fully match fit.


15.) 07 Mar 2024 09:33:54
No blue, it does not, Davies could only play one 45 minutes as he broke down.


 

 

05 Mar 2024 13:26:06
MPH can maybe enlighten me on this. I heard a stat that we've apparently had over 300 corners this season and only scored from 4 of them. If that's true that is abysmal.

Blue89

1.) 05 Mar 2024 14:06:59
I get where your coming from.

But I heard a stat once that only 3 percent of corners lead to goals. It really surprised me it was so low.

Do agree that our CBs should have more goals than they have this season. Probably remembering it wrong but think only Soutter has scored one goal this year. Goldson and Balagun are yet to score. There have definitely been chances for all of them to get more.


2.) 05 Mar 2024 14:36:45
In the SPFL:-
We've had 205 for corners.
And 96 against corners.
I would bet we would concede more from corners than we score even though they are heavily skewered in our favour!


3.) 05 Mar 2024 15:57:17
most top teams in europe seldom cross balls --period. but we still hit an up n under in hope also against huge defenders who just love those crosses. no mark hately's in our team.


4.) 05 Mar 2024 19:04:09
One of our biggest weaknesses right through the team is the lack of aggression. That also shows in this stat. Goldson should have had a couple at the weekend but missed the target we need far more aggression same with him and Souttar when the get isolated one on one they hold back long enough to let the forward get first touch instead of cleaning it out.


5.) 05 Mar 2024 19:13:39
Doesn’t surprise me one bit, defending team can pack the box and have a clear numerical advantage, starting from a touch tight position where pace and skill become irrelevant, it’s who can get a head on it and the numbers stack up in the defending team’s favour.


6.) 05 Mar 2024 22:15:37
This is no surprise whatsoever
, we have been abysmal at corners at both ends for 2 or 3 years at least.
We get a corner we would be as well giving the other team a by kick, we defend a corner I hide under the covers! Even our keepers greegs and Butland didn't and don't come and clear out often enough.
Rant over.


7.) 05 Mar 2024 22:33:19
Compare that to Arsenal who have score 19 goals from corners this season already. 11 of which in the EPL.

Personally don’t think our corners have enough guile, was really impressed with Kilmarnock the other week. We don’t even seem to have a look at what works for other teams and try and copy those tactics. Always seems to be a standard delivery to the middle of the box in between 6yrd line and penalty spot.

Personally wouldn’t send the ball in first time. Would work it back first and then try and play it in.


8.) 05 Mar 2024 22:41:25
Most teams in Europe seldom cross the ball? Don’t believe that.


9.) 05 Mar 2024 23:05:34
The best form of defence is attack, that'll never change, we need to just be more positive in every game we play, let the opposition be too busy worrying about us.


10.) 06 Mar 2024 09:30:18
EPL last season 15% corners led to a goal.


11.) 06 Mar 2024 15:50:39
It's definitely an area we can do better at both offensively and defensively.


 

 

28 Feb 2024 13:09:31
Think the biggest few questions re team selection for tonight are:

1.Does Balogun replace Souttar for rotation purposes - I'd personally keep Souttar in as he's playing well.

2. Who partners Lunny in the middle- Diomande, Sterling, Jack or Raskin. I'd go with Sterling for the physical presence and move Dio up to number 10.

3. Who starts or the right wing - McCausland for me.

4. Dessers or Silva. Think it will be Silva based on there not being much space to get in behind like Dessers has been doings Dessers will come on when their back line is tired as the gaffer says.

Blue89

1.) 28 Feb 2024 14:07:19
Believe it or not i prefer Dessers to Silva, never thought i would say that.


2.) 28 Feb 2024 15:09:49
Whoever PC picks will do for me, I trust him totally to get it right.


3.) 28 Feb 2024 15:44:17
I’d like to see Silva playing the 10 role behind Dessers.


 

 

25 Feb 2024 12:01:42
Here's a question:

If we have the choice to only sign one of either Sima or Cortes, who would it be?

Cortes for 4.5m
Sima for 7m
Just estimating price.

Blue89

1.) 25 Feb 2024 12:38:03
100% Cortes, I would not sign Sima for 7 million.


2.) 25 Feb 2024 12:39:24
Think I would have to go for Cortes.


3.) 25 Feb 2024 12:59:16
We could poss get sima for £4m, very max £5m
He cost Brighton £7m and hasn’t played for them. Has been poor on loan in France, had various spells injured and wil have 1 season. Left in deal coke sum
We. For me £4m

His numbers are great but his overall play flatters to deceive for me.
It’s not a MUST signing.


4.) 25 Feb 2024 13:07:54
Both would be ideal - think I would be offering Brighton a lowball price and see if they agree?.


5.) 25 Feb 2024 13:10:26
Its early days for Cortes but he looks the more composed player on the ball . Wouldn`t it be nice to sign both him and Sima . Alongside young Ross that would give us strong options in the wide area . Sell Matondo and Wright to get some cash in to help finance it.


6.) 25 Feb 2024 13:26:18
Anything more than 3 million for Sima is not on. cortez is the future for us. as is Diamande, Sterling and quite frankly quite a few others under Big Phil. think we should be asking big money for ridvan also . or keep him.


7.) 25 Feb 2024 15:15:18
Wsl you day sell wright How much u think we would get for him with 11 months left.

We agreed 500k with Turks last summer.


8.) 25 Feb 2024 15:24:35
Sima was our best player now he’s injured it’s don’t buyhim etc our fans have short memories.


9.) 25 Feb 2024 16:05:35
John227, I never said that we would get a lot of money for Wright but he has to go and we won`t just give him away . Any money we get from sales will help boost the transfer pot, so Matondo, Lammers, Wright, Davies and probably Hagi should all be sold to help finance incomings .


10.) 25 Feb 2024 19:01:32
It’s my take get money for weight to boost coffers

We would be better keeping him for a year imo

We would be lucky to get 300k and his wages r buttons.


11.) 25 Feb 2024 19:29:53
I agree to a point John.
Only way I would let him go is if we replaced with another home trained player.

Mainly Armstrong of killie, poss ryan Christie to name a couple

People don’t realise when they say get rid of jack and wright and whoever that we need 8 home trained players for euro squad.


12.) 25 Feb 2024 20:14:23
TJBB

Why not? He's proving over over again top notch striker. 7m a steal. C##### we payed 10m for Flo decade ago. Prices go up over time and 7m in grand scheme hee haw with little risk because we know he can score plus we need decent striker.


13.) 26 Feb 2024 06:28:37
Think Sima would be closer to 7m than 4-5m tbh, everybody wants as much dough on their outlay as possible, Wright knows he's leaving, prob go with usual best wishes and no cash.


14.) 26 Feb 2024 17:10:41
Stevie I don’t think Armstrong meets criteria for home grown, can u confirm

Christie is an ex stalwart of theirs who has stated he despises our clubs and fans, never ever happening.

Who else would you recommend hubby? I’m not having a go, just wondering which younger players would be a good shout.

I do think some turn their nose up at players in Scotland for some reason. But over the years we have always done well in Scotland when Walter and others were in charge. McCann, Novo, Thompson, Boyd, Naisy, Latapy, the list goes on. Ones like Ferguson, Doig, Hickey could have added to this especially now we have a manager who has full faith in his plan to develop youth.
