I like many on here question why big Goldson seems to be undroppable. However with that being said, if you actually watch the way he organises and constantly talks to players around him maybe this is why he seems to be the constant at the back. I really like Katic and Edmundson looks the part too but they are still very young in terms of centre half's and this may be the managers thinking regarding Goldson. Anyway top of the league and looking strong not just in our 1-11 but right throughout the squad. This just could be our year!
1.) 06 Oct 2019 22:04:14
goldson is like papac, does it so well so often u forget to pay attention.
2.) 06 Oct 2019 22:31:03
Del, I think his communication is the only reason he isn’t being dropped, it sure as hell isn’t because of his defensive displays. I actually wonder how much of a say mcGregor has in who starts in front of him, maybe he also prefers Goldson because they communicate well together and isn’t a language barrier? Just a thought.
3.) 07 Oct 2019 06:29:08
I think you could be right zikos but I would rather have big goldson than hawd it and dodit over at livingston yesterday big dykes bullied they 2 all day yesterday and they lost the plot when they didn’t get their own way they lost their discipline completely it was a joy to watch 🇬🇧.
4.) 07 Oct 2019 10:01:44
People are a bit unfair on Goldson I think. He has made some poor decisions recently but he plays well more often than not. He won't get it his own way every game. Same applies to Tav. He plays good more often than not but admit he has had a wee dip in form. Time to cut the guys some slack.
5.) 07 Oct 2019 11:58:00
Sometimes goldson's use of the ball leaves a lot to be desired, however he is an organiser at the back and this must be gerrards thinking. We are blessed with 4 very good defenders right now and when we pick up injuries we will be thankful of this.
6.) 07 Oct 2019 13:06:30
Goldson is a leader on the pitch and is held in great esteem by his team mates, Gerrard and me. We have 4 good centre-backs, only issue is giving them all game-time.
7.) 07 Oct 2019 13:50:43
Agree souness read big goerge singing his praises post match yesterday he seems to be the one that the other look to for advice help certainly george n niko almost like a mentor.
8.) 07 Oct 2019 14:29:25
Love the fact all the former goldson haters are now singing his praises 😂😂😂.
9.) 07 Oct 2019 14:45:48
Had some absolutely horrific showings last season also. His communication mayne keeping him in side. As footballer wise i currently have him 4th best centre half. honestly think edmunson looking class.
10.) 07 Oct 2019 16:28:16
Never once said anything positive or negative about Goldson on here. So who you calling out Brogie?
11.) 07 Oct 2019 19:45:25
Nor me either 🤫.
12.) 07 Oct 2019 22:41:09
Personally not a huge Goldson fan, think I would still try and find a better pairing between the others. Think he is pacy enough and decent on the ball but will always have a mistake in him and can easily be bullied off the ball. I think if you play Goldson then you always play Katic to give us the physical presence which Goldson lacks.
13.) 07 Oct 2019 22:45:58
Nor me, definitely think big niko is our best cb tho would be him n goldson for me.
14.) 08 Oct 2019 14:40:11
Not a big fan of Goldson, 3rd choice for me, Yes he scored on Sunday but still his decision making and ball delivery is shocking, Plus for such a big guy, He is easy bullied of the ball, But SG must see something I and some others don’t, Great result on Sunday especially with THEM getting beat, Onwards and Upwards, 🇦🇺ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó ´ó ¿ðŸ‘.
15.) 08 Oct 2019 22:21:56
Think Goldsons problem is he’s constantly covering for Tav being posted missing and trying to deal with his mistakes. Often leads to him being out of position.
16.) 08 Oct 2019 23:45:54
inconsistent for me, been poor recently in general terms, but he can make some great diagonal passes if he has time on the ball just unfortunately he doesn't get time on the ball.
17.) 09 Oct 2019 12:34:40
Goldson wins every ball in the air rounds up the defence and actually scores a few in to the bargain lol does well for someone left in the lurch off our captain rapid.
24 Jun 2019 22:31:12
The signing of Joe Aribo shows how far we have come in the past few years. The thought of signing a player being linked with Arsenal and Man City just a few months back would have been laughable in seasons gone by.
We were fighting teams from the lower reaches of the Championship and Division 1 for players not too long ago. Now we are attracting not just experienced players like Defoe and Davis but young and upcoming guys with bags of potential. One more centre half and a back up striker and I really believe we have the squad capable of giving it a real go this season.
1.) 25 Jun 2019 09:32:18
Del2807 You are bang on. I have been banging on about 1 more CB and one more striker and we will be there. Just a wee note to the glass half empty brigade. PLEASE REFILL YOUR GLASS. STEVIE G KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.
2.) 26 Jun 2019 13:19:59
I don't mind him going but would like a fee and sell on clause inserted in any deal cause i think the boy will come good.

I've stayed at the La Manga complex on 3 occasions and can assure you, no holidaymakers would get access to the team or facilities. It's a walled complex with 24 hrs security access. On top of that, there is no surrounding resorts close by and only 1 small pub inside the complex. This pub ain't cheap either. The corporate guest story may be true but no fan will be able to just rock up and take in the game nor gain access to the players.
1.) 13 Jan 2024 15:01:29
Cheers del ??.
01 Sep 2023 13:15:21
What a fickle lot on here. We've signed 10 players this window but there is screams of derision that we've not got enough to win a 2 horse race against a team on the decline. How can you guys make a judgement on a group of players who haven't even had 10 games together. Absolutely ridiculous. The usual players aren't deemed good enough by some.
1.) 01 Sep 2023 13:46:18
Totally agree with you Del, the negativity is unbearable. We have a massive chance to leap frog our rivals on Sunday, and even if we don't then we have another 34 games to do it in. if lose touch of them by a margin then fair enough, but this is not that time. We also have 3 cup competitions we are in.
2.) 01 Sep 2023 14:02:29
56 is on its way calm down.
3.) 01 Sep 2023 14:06:36
That’s because our defence is a fecking shambles and we only brought in balogun which is ludicrous.
4.) 01 Sep 2023 14:12:32
In a way I don't mind a bit of criticism and can understand why fans are sceptical as none of the summer signings have been an instant success. I would personally not write any of them off so soon but we are all entitled to air our opinions and if we all it agreed it would be a pointless forum.
However this does not include those who come on every day and say the exact same thing multiple times. Once you say your piece there us just no need to jump on every thread to say the same thing, day after day. Its so tedious and just an attempt to drown out others opinions that don't agree with them.
Though to be honest I read this site for years without posting and the only reason I did was because of those type of posters. Thier negativity did not reflect my views and the constant nature of it forced me to try and share mine which are much more positive. I would encourage others to do the same, it is more fun getting involved.
5.) 01 Sep 2023 14:16:07
100% correct. If it doesn’t work out they’ll be the first ones to say I told you so and if we are successful they’ll say nothing. A sense of self entitlement amongst some of our support. Good job they didn’t support arsenal in the Wenger days.
6.) 01 Sep 2023 14:18:48
If you were told at the end of last season the only signings we’d make to improve our defence was a backup right back and Leon Balogun would you be happy?
7.) 01 Sep 2023 14:25:09
Its not the fact that the new players don't seem to click. Its the fact that they do not even look to have the general ability of a footballer. Terrible passing and movement.
Dessers seems to have no ball control and cannot use his body or hit a barn door with a shot. which you would expect from a STRIKER.
Danilo has not been given a chance by the manager to be fair.
Sima runs about like a headless chicken and gives the ball away most times he touches the ball.
Its not being negative. its just saying out it is. Fingers crossed we pump them on Sunday and the team pushes on.
8.) 01 Sep 2023 14:30:13
Del, maybe we have a very good bunch of players and it is the manager that is the problem. Bizzmy, you talk about 3 cup competitions but the only one worth winning is the European Trophy. The league Cup is a Mickey Mouse Trophy that means nothing in terms of European Qualification and the Scottish Cup is nothing more than a piece of Silverware. Winning the League is the only Domestic Trophy that is worth winning.
Losing on Sunday isn't an option. This idea that it is early on in the Season and we can still overtake them just doesn't wash. Neither Club should lose many, if any games to other teams. That means winning the Old Firm games. What is more, the heads will go down, the support will turn against Beale. It is human nature and his credibility isn't great right now with a loss against Kilmarnock and annihilation against PSV. A loss at the weekend isn't an option.
9.) 01 Sep 2023 14:39:14
10 players signed.
Only 3 started against PSV.
£6 million striker on the bench.
Same issues at the back ( who aren't new players ) .
But we've just to accept it's all Unicorns and Rainbows at Ibrox.
Having concerns doesn't mean I don't fully back the team.
Or that I don't expect us to beat Celtic at Ibrox.
Or still be challenging domestically in all competitions.
But seeing the same issues over and over during every game whether we win, lose or draw does put a wee bit of doubt in my mind.
Problems need to be addressed by the manager quickly.
To a man we all think the defence is needing upgraded. Beale doesn't. WTF!
10.) 01 Sep 2023 14:47:56
Balogun has played right back before in an Old Firm and was MOM - get him in there and stick Tavs at left back -full backs should consider the defending aspect of our game to be priority and not push too far up park and play speed up front and get long balls turning their defence - route 1 can get results and get Jack back in mid for Lundstram - 100% dig required from every player for 90 plus mins and we can turn them over- dread to see what team Beale actually picks as if he plays Dessers we are a man down to start - the boy has no guile or confidence sorry but its true!
11.) 01 Sep 2023 15:12:07
Ally, thanks for the perfect example of what I was trying to say. How many times have you randomly posted about Dessers.
20? 30? More?
Dessers has had multiple assists already so his passing has been good. His movement has been good, (killie game aside), and he leads the line well occupying the opposition defenders. He does not look a natural goalscorer so that would be a fair criticism.
But to say someone who has played in Eredivisie and Seria A does not have the general ability of a footballer is just random nonesense.
12.) 01 Sep 2023 15:14:47
Maybe its because we have been beaten by Kilmarnock, thrashed by PSV, players we bought have already been benched and others are being played out of positions and look lost . We have had two clean sheets since the season started despite the fact the goalie has been the only successful signing so far . There is no system, there is no style emerging and most of the time the play is boring. Yeah that may sound negative but its more to do with caring about where the club is going under the current manager and previous manager and DOF for that matter. Look at the last 5 transfer windows and you can see only one that has been a success. The team is in serious decline and the people in charge either can`t see it or don`t care . I try not to judge players too early but this current crop look dreadful with only Butland looking the part.
13.) 01 Sep 2023 15:16:38
MPH, on the money sir, spot on.
14.) 01 Sep 2023 15:32:23
Alloa supported rangers in the Grieg days and the 9 in a row days. Their first one that is. Most would have support teddies through the last 10 years of hurt. Sure I saw someone use the phrase “fans not supporters”. What does that mean?
15 Jul 2023 18:21:46
Another new poster with negativity pouring through his veins. We have acquired 9 new players including Raskin and Cantwell since January yet again this nonsense that we have to sell Kamara and Sakala to fund Cifuentes and Danilo transfers. These players were going anyway as they were deemed surplus to requirements. And how possibly can you comment that we are shopping in free transfers and loans when we've paid out £12m or so on fees already. Unbelievable.
1.) 15 Jul 2023 19:32:07
Abu is not a new poster, that probably makes it worse in my view.
2.) 15 Jul 2023 20:01:49
Del. how do you arrive at 12m.
10 Jul 2023 23:19:09
Ulsterblue you must go into a shop and the bloke says he wants £4 for a Mars Bar and you think to yourself, I really want a Mars Bar and you just hand it over. Your posts are ridiculous pal. Negotiating doesn't mean you just cave in to the first demand. Rangers got into financial trouble by failing to be astute and Murrays £5 for every £10 bluster. There is a difference between being tight fisted and being savvy. Cifuentes will be a Rangers player in this window. LAFC are in no rush to sell him and Rangers who presumably have the pre contract in place are in no rush to blink. Let it play out and we will get the deal that we see fit.
1.) 11 Jul 2023 00:11:36
Will never forget that comment from DM. And we all know how that went. Great days and great team but by fook it had teeth.
2.) 11 Jul 2023 06:30:43
LAFC also might think that keeping him at the club until his contract runs out works out better for them, they might not want to sell and make the lad see out his contract ?.
07 Mar 2023 18:15:02
I bet you can roughly assume the age of some of the posters on here just by going on the posts in last few days. The older lads amongst us understand that it's not a god given right to win trophy after trophy and finances dictate where we currently stand. The argument a few seasons ago was that our budget was far superior to every other team in Scotland bar Celtic and we should be doing better. Now having finished miles clear of the rest and been in last 2 Cup finals, people still complain.
The reality is, they're budget dwarfs ours at present. That's not to say that we wave the white flag but you've got to be realistic. The depth of squad at their disposal is a huge factor on why they are grinding out result after result.
Our lack of depth is highlighted when we do suffer a rack of injuries. The points total in the league would be more than acceptable in most league seasons in the past. I still think you back your team, not blindly but with hope more than the entitlement some on here show.
1.) 07 Mar 2023 18:54:41
Completely correct Del. ? In todays social media driven, instant gratification, everyone growing up being told that they’re fantastic and a winner, folk seem to think that it’s a god given right to be first.
Of course we all want to win, I grew up through the 9 in a row years where we did dominate and win everything yet I can see that unfortunately times have changed. The last ten years have taken a massive toll and unfortunately financially and in terms of business structure we are still behind them so it’s not really surprising that that translates on to the pitch as well, no mater how much we don’t want it to be the case. But it doesn’t mean we can’t still compete, the euro run last year and winning the league 2 years ago proves that. Unfortunately we bust a gut financially to make sure we did win that year and they also rested on their laurels that year which helped. But since then they have used their financial strength (built up over the last 15 years or so) to pull away again a bit and we just have to be clever with what money we do have to try and build a team to get in front again.
But we don’t just have ‘the right’ to be first and as fans we should support during the good times and the bad, not through our dummies out the pram when we only beat Kilmarnock 3-1 for example as I’ve seen happen from some fans.
I mean jeeso, imagine what it would be like to support St Mirren or Ross County if you think we have it bad.
2.) 07 Mar 2023 19:01:13
2 trophies in the last 22 isn't enough on our wage budget. You can draw it anyway you like to make yourself feel better about the situation.
3.) 07 Mar 2023 19:52:07
Was thinking the exact same thing myself Del. The amateur dramatics and faux outrage from some comes across as really childish behaviour.
Personally think the club is in good health, being professionally run by board and DoF. This is what will bring us success as a club which is what we all want as fans.
4.) 07 Mar 2023 20:13:55
Agreed I honestly think you've just got to hold your hands up and admit your being outclassed at certain times by the better team on their day, yes there is a 9 point gap but it won't last forever, we as a team will improve if we can sort our injuries and individual form out and in beale I believe we can. That mob are on a high but once injuries and teams come plundering their best players then things will balance out as they always do.
5.) 07 Mar 2023 20:27:59
Do yourself a favour Del, and go read Stevie Clifford's latest post on his Four Lads forum. Once you've done that, maybe, just maybe (won't hold my breath) you might not be so blinkered in what's right in front of you? Oh, just incase you didn't know, Stevie is a decent age. One of the "older lads"!
Stevie is a guy who is Rangers through and through. An intelligent, articulate guy who bleeds blue. If Stevie sees the issues that are so glaringly obvious (well, not for the blinkered), and with his insider knowledge, then there must be problems.
Only the blind, deniers, blinkered, and those who just refuse to accept the truth, will deny the mess we're in, and will argue until they're blue in the face (pardon the pun), that there's nothing to worry about, and all is rosy. Aye right!
Call me what you want! Accuse me of being a tim! Tell me I'm a "sunshine supporter"! Do your worse! Something stinks within the club we all love! Something is not right, and regardless of how many excuses some on here continously spout to deny, excuse, cover up, argue against the facts (cold hard facts), it's just not good enough for a team like ours! Where's your pride?!
6.) 07 Mar 2023 20:28:48
Del I call that bull ?. with 55, Europa league final and cl qualification we should be up there competing. yes there's loans paid back,10 year co efficiant etc but were still miles behind.
7.) 07 Mar 2023 21:01:43
You're right mate I have been watching rangers since the 70's I remember the early 80's where we won he haw and were really poor then came graham souness who woke the sleeping giant that is glasgow rangers. I know we don't have the the right to expect trophies every season. The younger fans we have now are very aggressive especially if we play poor. They think we should be winning everything and seem to berate they're own if they don't agree with them.
8.) 07 Mar 2023 21:07:27
So much for our B team. Got us beat everywhere.
9.) 08 Mar 2023 05:30:48
Very positive as always i see hamish ?.
10.) 08 Mar 2023 07:43:11
Our wage bill according to some sites is now bigger than celtics so we should certainly be winning more trophies than we have.
11.) 08 Mar 2023 13:10:15
The fact is that Celtic have shown more urgency, fitness and clinical finishing than us, Gio should have been gone quicker, him and his back room team had us so unfit, hence the injuries. I would be surprised if Celtic's wage bill was less than ours, but TBH I have no idea if that's the case.
12.) 08 Mar 2023 13:43:07
Lots on here called posters a Tim when we said Gio should've been out earlier. Back the manager who is handing Celtic another league title on a plate or your a Tim. And I'm the one that's meant to spout drivel.
05 Jan 2024 18:52:56
Exactly what we require. Another non scoring Nigerian forward. I'd rather Van Veen than this one.
25 Nov 2022 13:42:56
Be happy with us paying as little as possible. Depends what they think he's worth John. Experience wise then this offer is about right. This is a chance for Michael Beale to prove he's got it at a big club with all the pressure. If he's successful then the financial rewards will most definitely follow.
04 Apr 2022 18:43:40
I would keep Goldson too, in a heartbeat but unfortunately that one isn't in our hands. We will also be sending loan players back. Whilst a lot of signings can be exciting, it is also a precarious situation as I really don't think we can afford to get this one wrong.
26 Aug 2021 20:37:05
Read the post properly before jumping in with both feet Stormtrooper. I said the misses cost us a comfortable evening. Now what part of that don't you agree with? If we get 2-0 up in that game then Kelly, Balogun and one of the boys could have been introduced to save legs for Sunday. I think that's a fair assessment of the night, don't you?
28 Nov 2016 21:16:52
He can still purchase shares in order to keep his current percentage of the club. He owns 9% at the moment which is within the dual interest boundaries. Under the proposals though his stake would have been diluted by half to 4.5% with no option to buy more. But thanks to Mccoist and the likes this option has been blocked.
