I wouldn’t play silva again after the dive last week and the one against Celtic just before he got pen. But I understand injuries. Lunny will start also I wouldn’t start him but can’t see PC changing him. I have a funny feeling and I hope am wrong that he will start Goldson.
I like the look of that team mystar.

27 apr 2024 12:28:51
i agree with strom, absolutely.

27 Apr 2024 08:00:25
Just reading through the rumours
So do we think it's a given Tav and Goldson will be on their way this summer I can see it from both sides the club will make money from both players and also save money on their salary
And the players will no doubt get a very good deal which I will assume will be their last big pay day if they do indeed go over with Gerrard

And reading between the lines sounds like Butland will be in the move does anyone know what his contract is? Has he got a release clause in it? if so how much?
Wonder who we will find to replace him with

And my last question is who do we all think will be our next captain?

27 Apr 2024 08:24:37
He hasn’t got a release clause this was clear in jan when Forrest bid more than what the release clause was reported mate.

27 Apr 2024 08:26:49
We are going to need to have our best ever pre season if we are losing goldson tav lundstram amd butland, no ones overly happy with the striker position either so potentially the entire spine of the squad is going to leave and be replaced, we also have a problem at full back and we have no wingers. Clement and the recruitment staff have their work cut out big time.

27 Apr 2024 08:39:08
Butland if he stays and Sterling if Butland leaves.

PC recently mentioned that Butland is part of his leadership team.

27 Apr 2024 08:52:48
Like Sterling a lot - but think he is too rash at times in decision making so dunno if he would be ideal captain material imo.

27 Apr 2024 09:49:03
That’s right Storm totally forgot all about that bid mate back in January
That’s good then well good we will make good profit but on the down side could be very hard to replace as he’s had an excellent season over all

totally agree Copland Bear it’s going to be a massive summer for us I reckon anyway
As you have mentioned the amount of players leaving and what we will need to try replace and cover our management team have some job but I’m also excited too see what they can do almost like a real live football manager game when you overhaul your entire squad 😅
I just hope we can do well think John27 already mentioned 2 bosmans that he thinks will be an upgrade on what we have already definitely going to be interesting that’s for sure

Sterling could actually have a shout at being captain

Just thinking here does anyone think we could also lose Yilmaz to a bid?

27 Apr 2024 10:17:54
Dado I like the boy Sterling by captain no danger not even close.

27 Apr 2024 10:18:55
If we lose yilmaz thestig then I think we may go back in for jefte the left back we were close to signing in jan and we would need another one.

27 Apr 2024 10:27:31
Could be a shout Storm if Yilmaz does go
Feels like a really big rebuild if we do end up losing all the players we have all mentioned.

27 Apr 2024 11:58:11
I think John says we are likely to go for him anyway because barasic will be away and we will need one even if yilmaz stays.

Evening All,

I may have missed something in recent weeks when I've been travelling but what has/ is happening with Ben Davies?

Is it injury or ongoing personal issues?

26 Apr 2024 23:07:46
I don't have a clue what is happening with him but he can't be injured as Clement never mentions his name when he goes through his weekly long list of injured players. I just think Clement doesn't rate him.
I hope that you got some sun burn and hangovers on your travels.

27 Apr 2024 04:16:07
He’s been listed on the bench in nearly every recent squad, would suggest he’ll be moved on in the summer.

27 Apr 2024 06:17:43
The manager just doesn’t fancy him by the looks of it.

27 Apr 2024 06:26:05
Has he not had his troubles to seek outwith football, sure someone posted on here in relation to that.

27 Apr 2024 07:30:29
He did Fork. The big guy's wife was very sick and he helped nurse her through a torrid time, and I believe this is a factor in him not being able to settle up here.

Look, the guy wasn't that bad! Apart from one horrendous mistake against them, and a couple of wee mistakes, has he really been that bad? Is he any worse than Goldson?

27 Apr 2024 07:40:28
Thanks lads. Just thought i'd missed someting.

Three Cheers - unfortunately no sun. Airport-car-hotel room- construction site-airport-rinse and repeat.

27 Apr 2024 09:22:01
Agreed RtR, Davies has been solid enough when he has played, some players just get bashed by a section of our 'fans'.

27 Apr 2024 09:47:23
Ain't that the truth, bizz?

27 Apr 2024 10:53:35
That shoulder header to Kyogo at the piggery when it was going out for a goal kick was the final straw for me.

27 Apr 2024 11:19:30
That was probably his only mistake borna, can read the game very well, as raisetheroofe pointed out he'd have his mind in other places mate.

27 Apr 2024 12:03:37
Cheers RTR, I thought he done well when he played, better than goldson for me too bud👍.

26 Apr 2024 17:24:48
Clement saying he expects Tav and Goldson to be here next season and he hopes Lundstram will sign a new contract. Can’t wait to be discussing the same issues this time next season.

26 Apr 2024 19:28:07
You prefer him saying Lundstram will be away and Tavernier and Goldson will be sold with us chasing a treble david?

26 Apr 2024 19:47:42
Good response from Clement.

26 Apr 2024 20:16:02
I've said all along on here that imo our captain james tavernier won't be going anywhere and will stay with rangers for the rest of his career 🤔I stand to be proved wrong.

26 Apr 2024 20:30:36
Still think he'll go tbh SWS, but your right, time will tell bud.

26 Apr 2024 20:46:01
Hopefully all 3 move on. We need a big change up from celtic trouncing us every season in trophies.

26 Apr 2024 21:16:53
Pointless question to ask at this juncture. His answer was always going to be the obligatory "I expect them to be here next season" then if they go. "Situation changed".

26 Apr 2024 22:01:49
Fair points but I think it’s more wishful thinking than anything if people believe any of the 3 will go. I’ll go out on a limb and say it but there’s absolutely no chance Lundstram goes to that team in turkey. Championship maybe but no way he goes there.

26 Apr 2024 23:43:56
For me Goldson, Barasic, lundsram and Tav can't be here next season if we want to win trophies on a regular basis. I think it was MPH who posted, you can't have sentimentality in football, I couldn't agree more.

27 Apr 2024 06:20:12
U got told yesterday that all managers are liars so will take it with a pinch of salt when he answered that question.

27 Apr 2024 06:30:25
He's hardly going to come out n say, aye were getting shot of our defence, some of the midfield and maybe some forwards, think a few will go and some younger players with potential sell on will come in.

27 Apr 2024 07:26:45
My gut feeling is that the time is right for change- so should Goldson and Tavs leave that's fine (plus good few others no doubt) - the old school have done their job and time for some new recruits - they have done as much as they can for the club and if we leave it longer again there will be no cash at all from them in any resale value so thanks for the memories and let's see the new regime take shape big Phil👍.

27 Apr 2024 07:38:00
End of the day clement needs to say that but it's ultimately up to the board to accept an offer then down to the player. Personaly if we get offered above 5 million I think the board accepts it. player trading is key.

27 Apr 2024 07:56:29
My opinion is that we are stale in certain positions that have long term incumbents in them, if we want to be a better team, we have to change, and more important get some money to go towards any replacements. Although there is criticism of Tav, Goldson and Lundstrum, there is also a bit of trepidation in a lot of comments that we will struggle to replace them, if that's the case, we'll just keep failing long term, just my opinion folks. If Clement wants to keep all 3, I'd be gobsmacked, and I think eventually they would cost him his job at Rangers.

27 apr 2024 09:07:38
correct storm, a gold star in yiur jotter fir that, you remember stevie words, 4 days before he scarpered and had it away on his toes?

27 Apr 2024 10:21:03
Stevie G is irrelevant when we are talking about clement. We had no money in jan TT.
