Interest in Cantwell from Bournemouth and i believe he favours a move to an English club especially if they are EPL.
1.) 17 Jan 2023 14:11:20
This wouldn’t bother me at all. I’ve been on Norwich forums and they don’t speak very highly of Cantwell at all. Plus, the guy hasn’t scored or created a goal since 2021. There’s got to be others out there that represent less risk.
2.) 17 Jan 2023 14:50:12
I agree verdant I'd be happy with olaru or pitu or someone else.
3.) 17 Jan 2023 15:27:38
Somtimes these guys are well worth a punt come n do really well
( Kent
Aribo
Bassey all cherrypicked from english teams n for some reason or another not getting the game time they desire, come too us n get their careers back on track
But like, middleton done well for us at times but has went on too dundee utd n became a regular
These lads have hunger n passion
Just what we need
Hence why we keep going back.
4.) 17 Jan 2023 16:07:54
Verdant I’m of the same opinion as you and for the same reasons! Aswell as attitude.
26 Nov 2022 10:02:02
Rumours in the Italian community that Rangers are speaking with Gattuso.
1.) 26 Nov 2022 10:32:28
Couldn't see him leaving Valencia.
2.) 26 Nov 2022 10:51:52
His wife wants to come back to Scotland apparently.
3.) 26 Nov 2022 11:19:55
He’s not done anything in any his previous jobs would rather it wasn’t him.
4.) 26 Nov 2022 13:07:24
Neither has Beale.
5.) 26 Nov 2022 21:05:17
Beale hasn’t been manager at loads a clubs has he? Well you already know that anyway so why you comparing them.
22 Nov 2022 21:04:42
Hearing that some of the senior players did not take to the assistant manager and some of the training since he came in.
1.) 22 Nov 2022 21:53:43
Tough. Players play for the club and should do what coaches want or go elsewhere.
2.) 22 Nov 2022 22:06:31
M alpine you often hear rumblings, it tends to happen quite a lot
I once heard years ago two off our players really did not get on. Walter took them to Morrisons gym, got them gloves and it sorted them out, both played multiple games during our nine in a row.
3.) 22 Nov 2022 22:44:38
Love that John
get in there
gaffer always knew what was best ??.
4.) 23 Nov 2022 00:04:24
That's untrue, Walter was not that type of manager. He used to take exception to Archie Knox suggesting those methods and quite often asked Archie to leave the dressing room when things got heated. That is a big reason he took McCoist on because he could relate to the players.
You obv didn't know Walter very well John.
5.) 23 Nov 2022 06:10:55
Walter got very heated himself. Cup final at parkhead walter had gazza pinned to the wall after gazza and allys fight. I have heard several players tell this story.
6.) 23 Nov 2022 11:08:49
Tav and Goldson should be quietly discarded by the new manager whoever he is.
7.) 23 Nov 2022 12:06:52
Yes mcalpine never ever heard or met him.
Paul Walter not that sort off guy read above.
8.) 23 Nov 2022 13:12:03
Tav was one of the players of the year in Europe last year and has been playing with an injury the last few months. Goldson holds our defence together, we have been an utter shambles since he got injured.
9.) 23 Nov 2022 23:29:11
Super ally he was one of best going forward always one of the worst defending and the reason for a lot of our conceded goals if he stays I'd move him forward to rw.
10.) 23 Nov 2022 23:29:35
Buy a proper defensive RB for tough European games.
11.) 23 Nov 2022 23:30:41
A porrini type no nonsense defender rather than Tav that always gets caught wrong side and under the ball and can't even track a front post runner or cross ?.
16 Nov 2022 15:49:14
Jens Toornstra to be brought in next transfer window from Utrecht.
Don't want to hear any nonsense about him not fitting the player trading model due to age.
Strong source.
1.) 16 Nov 2022 16:53:30
Is your source Tom Stoltman?
2.) 16 Nov 2022 17:01:52
nice one if true mate, where have you heard this?
3.) 16 Nov 2022 17:05:34
M alpine a good player.
4.) 16 Nov 2022 17:12:38
Dont think we have a player model now. If he's good enough get him in the door.
5.) 16 Nov 2022 17:26:07
Good player but 34.
6.) 16 Nov 2022 18:13:39
Absolutely not. We are fast becoming a retirement home with 0 sellable assets. Pathetic if true.
7.) 16 Nov 2022 18:19:25
Contracted to Utrecht until 2025 and cheers for the info.
?we can strengthen the team in the January transfer window.
8.) 16 nov 2022 18:35:14
dont read any nonsense then.
9.) 16 Nov 2022 18:42:38
34?
Perfect age to replace Davis in the squad, GVB.
Because remember as we are told on here plenty of times, you can’t have enough experienced cheerleaders in the squad?
Results have proven that this season?.
10.) 16 Nov 2022 18:53:47
If he's injured, we'll sign him.
11.) 16 Nov 2022 19:21:52
Defo a good player wouldn't be surprised if it's a short term loan.
12.) 16 Nov 2022 19:27:53
Excellent patter from three cheers.
13.) 16 nov 2022 19:48:12
gvb . the man doesn't want to hear any of that nonsense, lol.
14.) 16 Nov 2022 20:42:37
Modern day footballer playing to 38 comfortably these days.
15.) 16 Nov 2022 21:18:14
Is he not 34yo? Will we ever learn?!?!?
16.) 16 Nov 2022 21:59:13
Great input TomThumb!
17.) 17 Nov 2022 00:04:56
So at 34 Davis was 1 of our best players also remember defoe and his contribution during 55. As long as the player can contribute then that'll do fir me.
18.) 17 Nov 2022 00:10:39
He’s 33 getting on a bit.
19.) 17 Nov 2022 01:17:13
Potato head apt name was arfield a cheerleader when he turned. game round for us v livi at start of season.
20.) 17 Nov 2022 01:18:40
Davis one of best players a stretch was ok nothing more people have tinted glasses of past on when it comes to Davis great servant and wish him well but time to move on he should be looking at lower club player manager roles.
21.) 17 Nov 2022 07:28:48
Davis was our 1 of our best players 55 season bossed Celtics midfielders when player against them.
22.) 17 Nov 2022 07:28:48

23.) 17 Nov 2022 09:24:05
At the age of 34 not for me.
24.) 18 Nov 2022 22:07:41
Agreed GVB.

1.) 06 Dec 2022 10:00:45
Here u go

George Taylor - Non-Executive Director.
Alastair Johnston - Non-Executive Director.
Graeme Park - Non-Executive Director.
2.) 06 Dec 2022 11:10:28
As posted by gvb.
3.) 06 Dec 2022 13:19:24
Same old same old, answers at AGM, going by some of answers we will be in deep trouble in about a year, we will have no assets to sell, so trading model does not work, we have already sold off anyone of worth.
4.) 06 Dec 2022 14:18:21
methinks michael beale is going to end up with a poisoned chalice, some agm that was according to reports, deflection tactics at best, this time next year there will be no assets to sell.
5.) 06 Dec 2022 14:28:25
Gers 58 settle down,
We haven’t been fending off billionaire backers for the last few years, we are slowly emerging from an almighty Sir David Murray debacle that almost cost us our club. It’s a tough road with very little tv money etc . The board that are there at the moment are not perfect but I believe they have the best interests of Rangers as their priority. It’s a bumpy road ahead but we’ll get there with the support of the fans they are the real beating heart of this club.
28 Nov 2022 21:31:47
I was speaking to Jimmy Nicholl earlier, interesting to hear his thoughts on Beale, that will remain private btw but he was also raving on about Charlie McCann, he is hoping he gets a chance and apparently he hasn't been playing in his best position.
1.) 29 Nov 2022 06:15:49
Name drop just to tell us your not telling us what he thinks. Gotcha makes perfect sense ?.
2.) 29 Nov 2022 07:40:39
Haha excellent paul86.
3.) 29 Nov 2022 08:20:40
McAlpine, you could've kept Jimmy's identity secret and spilled the beans about what he said?
4.) 29 Nov 2022 08:24:03
Not saying says it all. Obviously not impressed.
5.) 29 Nov 2022 09:05:30
McA did he say what his best position is?
6.) 29 Nov 2022 09:21:21
Mccann best position is a deep lying play maker.
7.) 29 Nov 2022 09:38:26
Hopefully McCann will get more games with Beale as manger.
30 Aug 2022 17:54:26
Zukowski away to Lech Poznan on initial loan.
17 Jan 2023 22:58:14
John, Park is not scouting any Euro games.
16 Jan 2023 21:36:17
Beale made a mistake basically admitting who the targets were AND saying he had spoken to potential transfer targets, making it obvious that we are only after players who can speak to clubs without permission.
Not very classy for a Rangers manager and very naive.
14 Jan 2023 22:21:46
Devine is horrendous.
11 Jan 2023 22:01:35
McCann wants to leave, He is highly regarded by NI and he needs to play. That's direct from Someone on the management at NI.
10 Jan 2023 21:14:20
Hope so! One trophy to show for all his time here. More red cards than silverware.
31 Aug 2022 10:33:30
John26,he has poor stats on goal involvement.
