That would be AMAZING

Good ally le guen is a joke
Agree0
Disagree0
He's the main reason we are in this economic shambles.If I had unlimited funds I could be a great manager too. Believe me I've done it in football manager, it doesn't take a football wizz if someone bankrolls you.
Agree0
Disagree0
At least wee person gets off his a**e and shows passion
Agree0
Disagree0
That's unbelievable
Agree0
Disagree0
Although this is obviously a made up story, i would welcome back the experienced head of Mr Advocaat
Agree0
Disagree0
Why would that be amazing? When the money ran out he couldn't handle it
Agree0
Disagree0
UTTER NONSENSE... ADVOCAT ONLY GOES WHERE THERES MONEY TO SPEND ON CRACKIN TALENT.
Agree0
Disagree0
Aye right Bet ure old mans caught a whopper of a fish aswell
{Ed047's Note - Too busy gabbing to be bothered trying to catch fish. When I used to fish the only person that ever wanted to talk to me was the gamekeeper
Agree0
Disagree0
Have to agree, Advocaat won't be back unless he's promised a large war chest to spend, he's not daft - he knows to make a decent side you need high quality players, which McCoist is getting nowhere near.
Agree0
Disagree0
Sadly lads advocatt will only come back if he is given a minimum of 25 million to spend. so on that basis i really hope your right
Agree0
Disagree0
And what would he do with no money. Anybody can have a good team if they can spend big money. We have no money.
Agree0
Disagree0
25 million i on one player he spent 13 million on flo
Agree0
Disagree0
I cannae believe some folk actually replied to this post...
Agree0

Three words don't match up.
Dick Advocaat - spends big money - craig whyte
Agree0

Thats seven words
Agree0

Were in the sh@te go and get the guy who put us there aye right
no easy games in europe, yes there is
Agree0
Disagree0
Dick Advocat got Rangers in the financial mess they are still in now
Agree0
Disagree0
Bollocks to that we dont want dickie boy back he was hopeless last time round only good thing he has done was get zenit to eupopa league final and dumped the gers on there arses in my eyes unforgivable we are the people
Agree0
Disagree0
Is this the same advocaat who is currently earning 6 million per year tax free at his current club. rangers are no longer a threat in europe and have no confidence in us getting through this euro tie at ibrox. the whole team is rank

Agree0
Disagree0
Well said mate ally just hasn't got it

Get a grip u bampot and stick with you're team and manager ..u r a disgrace to real rangers fans ...rangers till I die ek butch
Agree0
Disagree0
Terrible result, we didnt seem to care or want anything to do with the ball. |It was awful and maribor would struggle in the 1st division. i have no doubt we will beat them easily at ibrox but before the game all you lot were going daft over bocanegra- couldnt get a game at ibrox last season or the season before he is below average, hooper n stokes must be rubbing there manky hands with the thought of playing against him. Dont think its right speaking bout ally the way some of u r doing hes a legend and should be giving time but ally please please please get in a player who only goes forward every player in that team besides jelavic go back the way, even shagger looked fed up. bad result but still we'll be in group stages no probs just fear who we get...watp

Agree0
Disagree0
Super ally looked like a wee lost boy on the touch line great player not so much as manager
Agree0
Disagree0
We had a central defence that had never played with each other before, is that allys fault? No, if whyte had brought in the no1 targets we would never have been in this mess, look at our bench, full of kids, don't blame ally, you can only p*ss with the c**k you've got
Agree0
Disagree0
I dont think allys at fault i think a top manager would have probs wi the side we have at the moment i blame mr white for spinnin us a yarn 20 million war chest where is it jackanory tell us a story
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree why not put on wlyde with his pace when Maribor are tiring, jig and edu dosent work not creative at all Lee Wallace can't defend No wonder ally isn't getting much money to spend he dosent have a clue
Agree0
Disagree0
Rangers fans please stand up. Again the muppets on here have turned against the team when they need us most. Rangers are depleted we suspension and injury and barr w couple of defensive mistakes from a back 4 who have Beverly played together we have q decent result so come on tae f and get a grip rangers so called supporters...

Agree0
Disagree0
These things take time lads ffs rangers will pump them at ibrox ffs we have an away goal
Agree0

Every Gers fan is entitled to there opinion were terrible and ally sitting there with clueless look says it all
Agree0
Disagree0
Still folk saying rangers til i die an aw that guff,get a grip ,what we achieved in the past is not relevant anymore,its a new regime and they have conned everyone
Agree0
Disagree0
P.l.g ring a bell not got a clue
Agree0
Disagree0
Rite tight whyte check book out Glasgow rangers are in need off some quality players
Agree0
Disagree0
Ffs guys Ur all starting to sound like the other side Stop being fickle, fair-weather fans Ok, not the result we were looking for but the tie is still alive Get behind the team and Ally However, I do agree with the guy who said why change to a 4-4-2 when 1-0 up and fairly comfortable? Bad move, but still....come on Gers fans
Agree0
Disagree0
If we keep ally I,ll guarantee we,l win nothing the man is not a manager so shut it FFs
Agree0
Disagree0
Absolute joke. ally sitting there scratching his head, doesn't know what to do when behind. a good follower never a manager. P.s where was his team behind him? ie durrant mcdowell.
Agree0
Disagree0
Sack them all lucky if we finish 3rd
Agree0
Disagree0
And lets say we DO progress to the group stages...what then? We will get humped by some "half decent" teams.
Agree0
Disagree0
Fingers crossed i just dont know we are better than that lot serious i love ally dont want 2 see him fall from grace legend
Agree0
Disagree0
We got beat off milkmen and a couple of joiners away goal we should be winning 5 or 6nil listen to ure selfs we got an away goal BIG DEAl
Agree0
Disagree0
These player are on like 50 000 a week and they canna kick a ball common get a grip
{Ed047's Note - 50k a week? Who? But I agree, some of the passing is primary school standard and on tonights performance I not only include Steve Davis in that, I mean him in particular and as for McCulloch, the only way he'll pass a ball forward is if he mis-hits it
Agree0
Disagree0
So called Rangers fans get a grip its only half time with this game. Allys in the early stages of forming his own team,the transfer windows not even closed ffs give him a bit of time
Agree0
Disagree0
Get a gip mate. half the team have never met each other. He'll get to Christmas to sort it out.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ally said before that his team/staff win and lose together So this aweful result is everyone's fault today get this sorted for the Motherwell game
Steve
Agree0
Disagree0
F*** all you fake fans, give the guy a chance, he is getting no help fae upstairs. 20million warchest.......300k here 400k there. Mr Whyte get yer wallet out ya nugget
Agree0
Disagree0
Rangers should be humping teams like malmo and Maribor end of
Agree0
Disagree0
I think it's crazy how easy all these rangers fans we opinions turn on a legend who is only a few games in t his career. You can all do better aye yet u are sitting typing rubbish rather than go do it. Put your FIFA joy pads down and go kick a ball about u fuds. Rangers will come good, ally is still learning
Agree0
Disagree0
United we stand
Agree0
Disagree0
Were getting laughed across Europe partick woulda beat that mob if we don't beat well bye bye ally
Agree0
Disagree0
We pay for tickets to Ibrox, follow the team abroad, we buy rangers merchandise for ourselves and families, we are all entitled to voice our concerns. Ally as a player was a legend, as a manager he is clueless, he needs help ASAP, and the person who is claiming we will hump them at Ibrox, just like we would hump hearts and malmo at ibrox? We are in dire trouble and its only August
Agree0
Disagree0
Oh we should all just support the overpaid talentless fuds that they are just remember our season ticket money is being spent on that crap.why don't we just join the conference in England and try to get to thevpremiership that way.sack the crap that's there and play the youngsters
{Ed047's Note - sounds like you've had enough. Sell your season ticket, I'm sure someone will buy it
Agree0
Disagree0
Bad tactics , being one of the boys doesnt get you respect Hes no watty im afraid doesnt get the best out of his players.
Agree0
Disagree0
Its terrible the way some people are slating mcoist,as soon as we get a couple of bad results a majority of the fans spit the dummy out.super ally is a legend no matter if he is succesfull or not as a manager
Agree0
Disagree0
Anyone think Ally sitting in the dug-out had the haunted look of Ally McLeod circa 1978?
{Ed047's Note - no
Agree0
Disagree0
Tonight was s**t but ally deserves at least a season to show what he can do.
Agree0
Disagree0
Support the team through the bad times and the good. this negative reactions helps no-one. ally is a following one of our greatest ever managers and needs time to prove himself, and if there is anyone at rangers who deserves time then its super ally. anyone who truly supports the team will get behind the team.
Agree0
Disagree0
Only 7 away wins in Europa tonight out of 38 games. I have to believe Ally will do it in the next leg and get us through. Mculloch struggled tonight but I reckon he will be dropped for the australian guy, we were unlucky Ness pulled up we injury before the game tonight as he would have done well but again another injury This is Walters team not allys, give him time. And Wallace hasn't had this pressure before so lay off him too, he won't make those mistakes again.
{Ed047's Note - Sorry, when you sign for Rangers you sign for the pressure. What he did tonight was schoolboy crap and cost us.
Agree0
Disagree0
To all u so called rangers fans why don't use get off mccoists back FFs he's a rangers legend has blue blood running through him he's a born winner and he will be hurting just as much as the rest of us but let's get behind the man ek butch
Agree0
Disagree0
He won't be a Rangers legend if he gets sacked or has to resign. That's the harsh reality but his reputation and legendary status would be ruined if not totally in tatters.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ed wallace had the ball which meant there was two balls on the pitch the throw in should have been taken again
Agree0
Disagree0
Get a grap folks give the guy a chance we will put them outr next week keep he faith or we are aswell giving up on everyting already
Agree0
Disagree0
The famous glasgow rangers
never ready
mis-management
Agree0
Disagree0
U dont get a season at the famous Glasgow rangers if u don't have it you will get found out just ask p.l.g
Agree0
Disagree0
Get a grip get behind the manager and team a would be very surprises if we got knocked out by maribor a think they were an average side that made look good in the 2nd half Its about time that part time supporters were given an opinion on rangers coz they now nothing
Agree0
Disagree0
Look to me like a celtic fan started this post and then replied to himself multiple times as no one else wanted to play with him.
Agree0

18 Aug 2011 21:41:24
Just goes to show how poor Scottish Football is, when we get beat by a terrible team like Maribor and Hearts get hammered 5-0 by Tottenham
Steve
Believable33
Unbelievable7
Scottish football is a total disgrace Rangers pumped by a first division club,Hearts destroyed by a Reserve team and Celtic held to 0:0 by signon more like a co-inefficient all 3 of them fn useless
{Ed047's Note - Celtic drew with signon? Is that mean the Swiss team are otherwise unemployed?
Agree0

18 Aug 2011 21:41:16
I've supported Ally this season, i didn't think he deserved the flak he has been getting. But this is getting beyond a joke. I could manage this team better
Believable24
Unbelievable28
I've had my doubts about Ally becoming our manager from the off and it's now starting to come true. This is not good enough and it's time to let someone else steady the ship as we have become a joke so far this season. Only good thing is the tims are no better.
Agree0
Disagree0
Waiting for the 'you're a celtic supporter/not a real rangers fan' etc p*sh coming out because somebody criticised the team or manager. The team were mince tonight, ok we've got players missing but the one's that played tonight should be ashamed of themselves. It's Kaunus all over again - no wonder the English think our league is complete tosh, what with hearts getting pumped tonight also.
{Ed047's Note - I still think Ally should get at least a season but tonight was absolutely woeful. We were in complete control and committed suicide
Agree0
Disagree0
For christ sake ally sort this shambles out we are supposed to be league champions no better than a 1st division scottish side total mess embaressing
Agree0
Disagree0
Ive said it fae the start,coistys a gers legend but he's NOT a gers manager
Do the right thing and walk.
Agree0

We got an away goal its only half time they were a good side there are no easy games in europe all good excuses for your cv sally
Agree0
Disagree0
Your english is getting better paul lol
Agree0
Disagree0
Nice guy Ally but no manager
Agree0
Disagree0
Ok original poster,what would you do diffrent,keep it 4-5-1 to deny maribor the space,or because of how woeful they were stick on an extra striker and try to put the tie to bed,IMHO,going for the jugular is new to rangers in europe,tried it and failed,win 1-0 next week and were through,so play 4-5-1 and hit them on the break,nick a goal,that would be my tactics,any better ideas??????
Agree0

18 Aug 2011 21:41:15
very poor performance tonight lets hope the team gels soon and ally stamps some authority on them and we start playing some football sooner rather than later

Believable28
Unbelievable4
It's many things but ''Funny'' isn't one of them.
Agree0
Disagree0
Would happily swap Big Davie for Ally in the dug-out.............couldn't do any worse. Love Ally to bits but just looks lost. Understand taking Naisy off as risking a red card but if you go with Big Lafferty at least put him on the left of midfield and maybe, just maybe, try Ortiz in his correct position on right.
Agree0

dont care anymore were a f***ing embarrassment that maribor team is poor wallace is a joke as for the rest below average with absolultey no quality creative players f*** this s**t
Believable21
Unbelievable10
Davis must be wondering why the hell he signed a new contract extension. The rest of the team are f**king utter cr*p, and what we are buying are no better. If ally does not get some serious money to spend on quality players then this team of duffers will help steer him out the door by xmas.
{Ed047's Note - Davis wasn't any better than the rest tonight. His passing is worse than my 9 year old son's
Agree0
Disagree0
Ok tonight Davis wasn't firing on all cylinders - agreed, but he is one of the few players we have that is anywhere near the standard of player that a club of this stature should have. Mr Whyte promised us a war chest of 15/20 Million. Where is it, certainly it was not on show tonight and i don't think it ever will be with Mr Whyte in charge of the purse strings.
Agree0
Disagree0
No he promised 25 million over 5 years
Agree0
Disagree0
Wallace is a good young player mate
{Ed047's Note - I agree but he needs to learn from his part in their goal. Hopefully one of the management will have had a word
Agree0

Well get tae f*** then we dont need u plenty of loyal supporters to fill the gap

Get McCoist out the door now He is clueless
Believable19
Unbelievable30
Ally is an idiot sack um worse than Mowbray
Agree0
Disagree0
Get a grip, call yourself a Rangers Fan? McCoist is a Rangers Legend, bad start but that's all it is a start, get behind him and show full support or get to France, Rangers don't need you, did you see cellic fans treating Lenny the same way last year when they had bad results.....NO......They backed him 100%
Agree0

18 Aug 2011 21:37:20
did yae see mccoist just sitting there get him tae f*** never a rangers manager in a million years.
Believable27
Unbelievable26
Wtf do u want him to do with 30 seconds to go ya moron? how the hell u can blame mccoist for that i dont know, an international player allowing the ball to run out because he thought it was a rangers throw, not exactly mccoists fault is it
Agree0

Thats the problem, he doesn't have a plan B. Reminds me of Mowbray, if plan A doesn't work, b*gger it we're screwed.

He cannot be anyworse than lee mcculloch

Totally agree this is not good enough if you spend little you get p*** players
Agree0

Wtf was Wallace doing......defending was pathetic at best
Agree0
Disagree0
Thought edu did ok tonight, decent distribution and good engine, give the guy a break
Agree0
Disagree0
No one should get a pass mark for 2night and that for Ally also
Agree0
Disagree0
Mculloch is a wate of a jersey,he just runs about fouling ,get him tae f..ck
Agree0
Disagree0
Get off edus back He was ok tonight but nowhere near as bad as wallace and mcculloch We are so poor its shocking, should have beat that poor team. Even pat nevin knew their weaknesses and ally never bothered his arse, he needs 2 change he didn't look as if he had an interest or clue
Agree0
Disagree0
If ally had used the subs in the dying mins that goal would not have hapened. this team looks soooooooooo poor its not even funny any more when german minnows beat us in pre season i was willing to put it down to bad luck but swedish now slovacian teams as well?? ffs man this is bad vvvv bad.
Agree0
Disagree0
Edu played well. Rangers switched off for both goals but remember Bocanegra only joined the team as did Goin and Wallace while Broadfoot has only played a couple of games recently. The team will Gel and anyone that speak the way the have been of Mccoist is no true fan {Ed047's Note - Well done. Definitely post of the night. Sums up my feelings (apart from the fact that you didn't say McCulloch was rotten)
Agree0
Disagree0
Can't just blame edu, the whole team has to take responsibility for the performance. Tonights game had too many passengers and it showed especially second half. Ally has to take a long hard look at his tactics, he's not Walter and never will be IMO.
Agree0
Disagree0
Edu was one of the better players tonight
Agree0
Disagree0
Edu was far from being the worst player on that park get off his back. he tries his best and i thought he done well last night i would never have played broadfoot or mcculloch give hutton and mcmillan a chance the both showed what they can do against chelsea.
Agree0

18 Aug 2011 21:30:10
this has to be theworst rangers team ever.absolutely no flair or quality.craig whyte spend some f***ing money.
Believable23
Unbelievable9
1st half decent performance, but the second half was a joke, never turned up, players looked devoid of any idea, couldn't pass, and the ball was continually lumped up the park.....Ortiz looks lost out there...any edu...pffffffft dear oh dear
Agree0
Disagree0
Wit a fxxking joke 2nite ship the lot out
Agree0
Disagree0
Forget blaming Whyte. The manger doesnt have a clue cant pick a team and doesnt have a clue about tactics. dont blame whyte for that
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't know about being the worst Rangers team ever (yet) - Big Eck had a howler of a squad a few years back... Emerson, Capucho, Ostenstad, Vanoli...
Mind you the next year he managed to sign Boumsong and Prso. Maybe if we could tempt big Dado to come out of retirement??
Agree0
Disagree0
I,m going to argue with you here and say
john greig got poorer performances out of better players
Agree0

18 Aug 2011 21:23:46
No Hutton in the Spurs line up. Is there any chance of us getting him on loan? Surely then we can get shot of broadfoot
Believable17
Unbelievable11
He's injured get a grip, he's on 40 grand a week, we're no getting him, face it ffs live in the real world and stop posting this p*sh
Agree0
Disagree0
Broadfoot was not the worsed player.
McCulloch not at the races.
Game was crying out for Wyldes pace
Agree0
Disagree0
I must say im surprised by the broadfoot comment because in my opinion he was the best rangers player on the park. the rest were absolutely terrible. i aint saying broadfoot played out his skin tho but for a CB playing RB and being the only player to turn a player inside out says something
Agree0

Right everyone why not just get behind Edu and stop cursing his every move Its no wonder he makes some mistakes with the abuse thats dished at him from Rangers "fans"
Believable18
Unbelievable14
Because we spend alot off money on tickets and strips so this guy can be paid £10,000 a week so if we want to get on his back we will, most people bearly make what he does in a week in a year and if theyr rubbish at there jobs they get sacked
Agree0
Disagree0
Ha mccullochs on more and he is worse. a screamer once every 30 games off him at best
Agree0
Disagree0
Look at mcculloch instead of edu complete waste of space
Agree0
Disagree0
Edu wasn't the problem, think he played well.
davis was a f***in mess out there.
Agree0
Disagree0
Because he is a clown {Ed047's Note - Edu was one of our better players tonight. McCulloch is worse than Barry Ferguson for sideways and back passes. Never does anything constructive
Agree0

The 'fans' did the same to Adam too....what ever happened to him??? {Ed047's Note -

Naisy is one of, if not my favourite Ranger but the wee man's head doesnae seemed focus this season. Tonight already our 3 main attacking players have seemed well off the mark in Davis, Jela and Naisy...I mean when a goal comes from our two worst Clubfoot and Ortiz...and our best are playing very poor....
Believable12
Unbelievable7
Your a clown How can you moan when the gers are scoring nyone in blue will do. Ortiz is a good player and needs time..... Mon the bears
Agree0
Disagree0
When was the last Rangers game you went to? I wish Celtic fans would stop going on our page and posting things they know nothing about. Ortiz our worst page what planet do you live on. You are probably one of the sados that slag everything about Rangers just now. Get behind your team and go and watch the celtic game.
In Ally We Trust
Agree0
Disagree0
How am I a clown? Last game I went to was Linfield pre-season. Celtic fan and/or a saddo because I have an opinion? Credit where credit is due, Broadfoot done brilliant to create and Ortiz done well putting it in the net but there is no doubt that Broadfoot is one of our worst players and has cost us more than given us and Ortiz isn't great.
If you'd have read my post in context instead of just jumpiung right in to retaliate you would see, the point I was making is you know our best players aren't in form when it's our weaker players doing the creating/scoring
And, I moan when it's warranted, needed or I'm unhappy. Would I be watching the game etc etc If I wasn't a fan.

Oh and look at the score, trumpet.

I think Coistys waitn for 25 men squads in EPL to be finalised before landing a striker with a few big talents becoming available.
We have had positive feedback from Arry at Spurs, Sir Alex will help out if needed and if reports are accurate Chelsea would have no problem loaning us players so I think a Marquee signing WILL happen ...........
I know wages may be a stumbling block but if its for 1 top player for a season without a Fee then I think a £40k (tops) player is a real possibilty

rangers should be looking to bring in a right back as broadfoot and whittaker will be badly exposed otherwise. a creative midfielder, a winger and a striker is a must if we are to make it 4 in a row was thinking along the lines of allan hutton and george boyd as good signings. unfortunately i doubt a rightback will be signed as ally unlike the vast majority of gers fans actually rates whittaker(big mistake). could see us trying for lovenkrands or murphy for wide position.

another thing that McCoist could learn when it comes to the transfer market ..

Agree completely with this comment. The transfer market is a difficult environment at this moment with even EPL managers commenting to this effect. So its best not to have every last detail published in the papers in regards to the transfer ups and downs. As much as I blame the media for magnifying things in the Glasgow goldfish bowl, but have to admit that I wish Ally and Gordon Smith were a little more considered when talking to the press. There have been a number of silly statements released including in 48 hrs we expect so and so to sign etc. This was added to yesterday when it was almost embarassing to hear Ally say that no signings were imminent yesterday then find out that 2 sign. Surely he should do a little research before speaking to the press. Bottom line is Ally should follow AVBs philosophy.
In terms of management, I hope Ally and the team do well. Best of luck on the park
Agree0

Give him a break. he probably got a bit too excited and carried away at the thought of getting his own men in and i'm sure he will learn his lesson. everyone on here thinks they would do a better job that whyte/mccoist in the same position.

Drew, kindly go away? We don't care what kind of pessimism you're trying to inflict on our club lol. We are champions, we've won about 6 trophies to Celtics one in recent times. I'm not worried about Rangers, I think Dorin Goian is a great signing for a very small price the price is not always reflective on the quality of player... Rangers till I Die
Agree0

I don't see how a players transfer fee justifies if they're good enough to play for Rangers or not. If they're good enough, they're good enough. Spending millions on a player doesn't mean he's good, does it?

According to reports, Bolton
Wanderers are determined to land
Rangers youngster Gregg Wylde.
Wanderers have had a £400,000
offer for Wylde rejected by the
Scottish champions earlier this week.
Gers boss Ally McCoist has publicly
stated that he sees the player
staying at Ibrox and wants him to
sign a new deal.
However, the Daily Mail claims
Wanderers are set to test the club’s resolve with an improved offer.
It is understood that West Bromwich Albion are monitoring the situation.

Just a thought. CW said when he bought Rangers his aim was to expand their fan base worldwide. I'm thinking this as a possible reason for signing the 2 Americans, adding to the wealth of players from there to have played for us in recent times. Bocanegra said in his interview "Rangers is a club which is pretty popular in America already and now, with Mo being here and doing well as well as Ale and I arriving, hopefully we can keep that feeling growing".

GET A GRIP
Agree0

It's very clever indeed if you ask me.... signing these american's ... yes for shirt sales ect but also players who will do a job and have done a job for america over the past few years ... bocanegra has played in 2 world cups.... if CW plays this right who knows we might be signing a 25million quid budwieser sponsorship deal next season

Broadfoot is a good player, hes never had a solid run to find his form. Sure hes made mistakes but so did Amoruso, Cuellar and Bougie. Healy Knows where the net is but is likely to only feature if we have injuries or a s a sub

Rangers looking at Sylvan Ebbanks-Blake from Wolves. Fletcher and Doyle 1st choice down there and with Wolves likely to only play 1 up most of the season a place in the first 11 is unlikely for him. Good player and would definatly score goals up here. Not sure if this would be a loan/buy but in my opinion he'd do us a turn. Wages wouldn't be too high either.
On another note if anyone posts that their source is an insider at rangers then watch what you are saying. People at Rangers look at this site and may even reply to posts, Speaking from experience here. I got in bother for posting earlier this week and saying that my source was a member of the coaching staff, It was and he was told about it and as a result i've been well and truely warned. Safe to say i won't be posting my source on this 1.

Too many people are spending too much time looking for signings on Football Manager For a proven goalscorer we should sign Tommy Neish from Dundee Utd Great player but then again - I'm in season 2016-17 so he might be made up by the game lol
Realistically, I would be happy with Weiss(I know what has been said but I doubt he will feature in Mancini's plans....EVER so they might be happy with a couple of million for him) and we need a good striker but not sure who is within our budget, Murphy is OK but not the finished article...Need someone with European experience but not too old or injury prone.

Lol i signed a young boy in mine Ahmed Sakouna was a real player and a free agent after a season he scored 25 goals in 24 games then Mr Murray sold him to Psg from under my feet when they offered 5m i was devastated lol. Anyway many EPL managers have admitted using FM for findin young talents as FM seems to predict talent correctly 80% of the time i have known about the talent of players like Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez for near 4 years now and if it is anything to go by then i reckon i could rifle out a list of strikers for us to after lol.

I think that we need to have 2 strikers, 2 left wingers, 1 right winger and 2 CM. Other players should be brought in if these positions are filled. I'm thinking:
ST: Choose between: Adam Le Fondre, Jamie Murphy, Jay rodriguez, Mladen petric(depends on wages)
LM: Choose between: Bieswaar(spelling), Andrew Driver(injuries a problem but a good buy if he can stay fit),Zezinho, lewis holtby
RM: Choose between: Vladimir Weiss, clint dempsey, simon davies
CM: Choose between: James morrison, Graeme dorrans, matt mckay, Zdravko Kuzmanović
Who do you think? These are all affordable players who would do a good job.

Dempsey...Kuzmanovic... You sir are having a laugh
Agree0

ST: Choose between: Adam Le Fondre, Jamie Murphy, Jay rodriguez, Mladen petric(depends on wages)
Adam Le Fondre has only proved his goal scoring abilities in League 2 so I wouldnt bother with him. Jay Rodriguez is not an out and out goal scorer. We have no chance with Petric. I would take Murphy if the fee was right.
LM: Choose between: Bieswaar(spelling), Andrew Driver(injuries a problem but a good buy if he can stay fit),Zezinho, lewis holtby
Biseswar used to be good but from what I saw of him last season he looks gash now and injury prone. Driver is more injury prone that anyone else so lets leave that one alone Dont know too much about the other 2
RM: Choose between: Vladimir Weiss, clint dempsey, simon davies
Weiss is the only possibility here if we can snatch him before the window shuts. Wages and fees for the other 2 would make it impossible as they are fully established and respected EPL players
CM: Choose between: James morrison, Graeme dorrans, matt mckay, Zdravko Kuzmanović
Morrison and Dorrans would command a large fee and wages so no go there. McKay is pretty much a done deal so theres your answer there
I keep saying that we should be making a more for Johan Vonlanthen as he is a free agent from Salzburg. Very pacey winger with international and european pedigree who can also score goals.
Agree0

Don't think Morrison or Dorrans would be affordable or an option but would rip the SPL apart. Still hopefull for Weiss and also hear that he is too regardless of his previous quotes.

Do you follow Rangers or Football at all? It isn't football manager you idiot. Scotland can no longer attract players from the continent who are well know. The idea of Kuzmanovic in the SPL is ludicrous. The same goes for Holtby, Petric and even the likes of Dempsey and Morrison. Don't think we will add any more players to the squad at all. We have to be realistic and although Whyte has taken over there is potentially a massive tax bill awaiting us in the future. Join the real world

Value on a player counts for nothing. Quality counts for everything. Apart from Ortiz (who I don't doubt), the rest are all full internationals. How much did Celtic pay for Larsson? How much did we pay for Flo? How much did we pay Boumsong? Price tags count for nothing, apart from adding more pressure the more the value. Have faith, support the team, give the guys a chance to prove themselves for god sake. I don't know why so many Rangers fans are so negative anyway, you'd think we'd never won a trophy before.

It must be great being judged before you've done anything. I hope for the sake of all the overly negative people on here, that in life you aren't judged on that basis. Give the players a chance and make a call once you've seen them in action, and not before or after the first game, once they've had a decent opportunity to settle in. New manager; new team mates; new structure; new league, new tactics........ not an easy situation. To the individual not willing to support the Whyte regime until we get that massive signing, why don't you provide the £6 million and then we'll all support your regime or if not then go support another team. No team in the Scottish league is an position to pay this type of money for a player, we may have done so in the past, but that's not the current state of affairs. The sooner we understand this the easier things become. Let's face facts, our league and club can now attract, at best, players trying to establish themselves or players at the back end of their careers..... To retain players of the calibre of McGregor and David is a true blessing for the club, and something we should be proud of.

What would signing a player for £5-£6million prove? Nothing if you ask me. It would only prove White has more money than sense. The way he has went about his business so far has been very impressive, in a business sense. Too many Rangers fans have short memories, do we want to be millions in debt? I don't think so. Judge the players and management at the end of the season. White has done his part well so far. Show negativity the red card, support the blues. WATP

Even if we were to sign a player for 6 7 million we wouldn't be able to pay the wages players of that calibre will be looking for at least 40,000 k + and tbh the foundations are there now.

I agree and disagree with bits of this post, if you pay 4 million for a player like Jelavic...then you can see the difference in class from him and the rest of the league in my opinion...HOWEVER it is also about being shrewd in the market and spotting bargins, Goian is 30, great age, and an experinced romanian international..fantastic signing for 500k, Bedoya is 23 and already has 14 caps for USA, he woulda cost more but his contract was up in jan...so again another good peice of business, i watched this guy play for obrero a cuple of times...trust me apart from davis hes alot better than anything we have in the middle of the park, Lee Wallace, 23. 1.5 mil, we desperetley needed a left back like wallace and i feel in a year or so he will become different class, so 1.5 for me is a great by Bartley everyone knowes what he is all about and everyone wanted him back....Bocanegra. what a signing this guy is premiership pedigree, 32 good age, 93 caps for his country, fantastic peice of business for 750k as someone pointed out more caps and experience that the tims defence put together Ortiz from what ive seen i think he prefers being in the middle, he has a great touch and good vision, ppl are expecting him to be a speed demon...which is not him, but i feel he will be good for the squad.....overall 4 international players and two good players for the squad...i feel we still need a winger and a striker thou...then we will walk over the league this year as celtic are missing there only good player for 65 months i think bedoya will run kayal all over the park this season.
dont know what people are moaning at
Agree0

Goian looks the part , wallace is startin to settle and has bundles a energy will b gd gd player bocanegra will do a good job fur us i think so cld be a steal at 300,000 bedoya looks the part but well soon see after a run a games bartley is another gd signing again big mans solid and pacey n 100% commited ortiz still to prove more but give him time and wen the transfer window shuts well see who else we have brought in then every1 judge then
Agree0

Judge a player by how he plays and not what he costs,the manky mob got Larson for £600,000, fed up with the negativity off so called fans ,get off Allys and Whytes back ,if you don't like it go watch the dark side the sooner some of you get it through your thick heads we have to work within a realistic budget the better,paying millions for one player doesn't always work,reckon we've proved that plenty in the past Get behind your CLUB and TEAM, and don't play into the mankies hands WE ARE THE PEOPLE
Agree0

Well some of these coments are worrying to read but lets think about this you are correct in saying we haven't heard of bedoya,mckay,goian,ortiz and they didn't command million pound price tags either but i hadn't heard of jelavic till he gunned down celtic in europe before he joined rangers i also had never heard of izaguirre,kayal or hooper before they joined celtic not 100% sure but don't think any of them were million pound players either and all have had decent first season for celtic so lets all get behind the red white and blue and step up and support watp gstq.

Kayal 1.2m,Hooper 2.1m & Izaguirre 600,000, thats 2 players over 1M.

I've read all the rumours on here regarding Santa Cruz over the last couple of months and i thought 'never in a million years'. But i've just seen on SSN that Leeds are in for him so maybe he wouldn't be as far out of our reach as first thought. Personally i'd rather see Jamie Murphy brought in to partner Jelavic. I actually think we would get more goals from Murphy than Santa Cruz in the SPL. It would probably cost round about the same fee to buy Murphy as it would to loan Santa Cruz for the season give or take a few quid. What do you think Ed? {Ed002's Note - If a deal can be struck over wages, then a good deal.}

I agree mate. Having faith in your backline allows creative players to concentrate on the primary objective in football from the beginning of time. Score goals. We haven't had the luxury of that. Big Weir did a solid job but he was a weak link that the rest of the team had to hold back for and protect
Agree0

That is totally correct. a wee bit more defensive in europe but against spl teams we wont get caught out the same. 1 or 2 forwards brought in and we r laughing. add them to the options of jelavic, lafferty, ness, davis, mckay, bedoya, wylde, naismith, whittaker, wallace and ortiz and we should cut teams open up here.

finally we're getting some players in the door. our midfield has alot more options i think we need a DM but not urgent. I do think we are desperate for a new striker. I'm well aware lefferty has to come back but that only leaves us with 3 strikers (jelavic,lafferty and naismith) think we need at least one more qualiy striker.i like the boy maynard from bristol but heard hes valued at nearly 5m. wouldn't pay that for him.
Believable2

Isn't Bartleys natural position DM?
Agree0
Disagree0
He can play this role and has done for rangers before i think he scored that game as well but his natural position is a CB still i think he could have a couple of games in the middle of the park this season and to be honest i wouldn't be unhappy with that he can do his job regardless of weather he's playing defence or mid
Agree0
Disagree0
Think our midfield is defensive enough already and what we actually now need is creativity to give better link up between the middle and top. service to jelavic has not been great so far.

We've still got Healy & Beattie to play upfront though I'm fully expecting Beattie to be away before the end of the transfer window. Not really shown much at all but there's still hope for Healy.

So far Goian has appeared to be nothing but a tower of strength ive yet to see him put a foot wrong i know it is early doors but he looks the part as for bocanegra if i think right im sure hes quite mobile. And dont forget if we desperatly need pace at the back we have bartley who is by no means short of pace i think we could do just fine if we needto park the bus at points as we no longer have pele in defence leaving massive gaps fear not fellow bear i beleive the futures bright
Agree0
Disagree0
Not in the spl we wont cos apart from celtic what ive seen all the other teams seem to be losing their best players, goodwillie, salmon, conway, riordan, eremenko and many more have left the building. our 2 new centre halfs have 130 odd caps between them and should be experienced enough not to go charging up the park like bougherra did and leave us open. i have no fears about these 2 and against celtic Mcculloch will sit right in front of them. Weir has won 3 titles and he is over 40 now so these 2 will be like spring chickens compared to him. Hooper and Stokes aint Rooney and Aguero although the Celtic fans would make you think they were.
Agree0

Previous reply makes the case, well put. These guys are very experienced, capable and a class above the attack in the SPL. With a more mobile midfield (if they get the chance to play that way) we will creat lots more up front and remain more solid at the back. Confident

Ally McCoist turns to attack as he looks to strengthen his squad.
Having secured the signings of Carlos Bocanegra and Alejandro Bedoya the manager has earmarked a forward thinking player as the next piece of his Ibrox puzzle. With Matt McKay expected to arrive on receival of a work permit McCoist beleives 3 players could complete his squad. It is beleived that he is looking for a wide midfeilder, a striker and 1 further defender.
Personally I think if McCoist can bring in these 3 players without losing any other players we have the squad to win the title.
Beleive Cuellar could yet be that defender and the capabiliy of him being able to play RB and CB is a very big appeal to Rangers. With regards to signing a striker, I think he will have to cost less than £2million(hence why we never did this for DG straight away) and the wide midfielder I would be suprised if we actually get one.
Overall after a further 2 arrivals for Rangers, I can see us doing decent this year yet. Massive game tonight and im going to go for a 1-0 rangers win thanks to the Jellyfish.

Would love it if we still managed to get juharsz. carlos's injuries are a bit of a concern and the fact he has been so quiet and hasnt come out and said he wants to come back.
shaping up quite nicely and if it all comes together i hope all the 'fans' on here that have been so negative and have been having a go at the new manager and owner feel a little bit ashamed of themselves and should appreciate the position we are in a bit more instead of dreaming and living in the past.

Agree with the number of players still req'd and positions but I would go for Hutton (loan spurs), Weiss (loan Man City) or buy Murphy (M/Well) and a striker

Whilst I agree the shortage of funds for buying players is a bit frustrating I have no issue with the fact that the signings that have been made being "cheap". Rangers need to get on a stable footing financially before taking financial gambles on high priced players. I seem to recall a mass cheer on the £12m signing of a certain Mr Flo which soon turned to dismay and shouts of what a waste of money (Although I don’t think Flo was that bad I do agree £12m was a touch too much for what we got out of him). Why pay excessive fees and wages for players that could potentially not fit into our system and SPL style of play. A good player bought for £500K is just as good as a good player bought for £10m. I just hope Ally and the lads are given the chance to settle before any judgement is passed out, it's the least a legend like Ally deserves.
Agree0
Disagree0
Bidding for players isnt the same as BUYING players.
Stop bloody harping on about renewal of contracts as "signings" because it bloody isnt.

Coisty made a statement pre season that he had to get bodies in to improve the squad NUMBERS. With the transfer budget at his disposal we were never going to be signing 4 or 5 players valued at around 2 million each, so I would suggest he has delivered the quality of player he suggested he would.
However we have alledgedly bid 2.8mill for goodwilliie and agreed a fee of 2.2mill for cuellar which is dead for the moment, does this mean he still has 5 mill to spend on 'quality' players or were we really interested signing them or were we linked as a publicity stunt to win over us bears.

Just a thought but with three US players we will be attracting a bit of interest over there, it is a growing market and maybe not a bad idea. A partnership with the NY Rangers haha. Thoughts anyone, it would make good business sense.

Yes we know they are doesnt stop us selling their merchandise and them ours i think its a great idea....bigt

Or the Texas Rangers baseball team? Just like the hockey team, there's the obvious name tie-in plus they also play in the right colours. If it would earn us a few extra $'s then I wouldn't mind.

Im sure there was a legal tussle between rangers and the new york rangers as they were trying to sell stuff under the name rangers but couldnt becuase we sell under the name rangers and they took us to court about it and we won becuase we were formed long before them

It certainly crossed my mind that Whyte saw the dollar signs... I dont blame him. Huge market over there.

Would be a good idea to expand our brand, man utd have openly admitted they bought park ji sung for asia and celtic have tried it with koki mizuno, ki and cha du ri as long as were bringing in good players id be happy :) BALLYBOY

My old boss made a great point that Celtic have the old Irish thing going on and buy asian players for shirt sales but we should tout Rangers as the scottish team to americans. Play on the McRangers brand. Is one of the largest growing football markets in the world so makes sense Bocanegra will be a great signing and hopefulyl Bedoya to. Edu looked a good prospect but how long are you ment to allow someone to be s**te for?
Think all we need at Rangers now is a right winger (Weiss) and a pacey striker (Murphy?)

Looks to be win win these players are good value and they take the brand over the pond we should be trying to get nike to make our strips so they sell them in the usa.

Could it be a way of attracting American investment.

Fantastic idea how can you possibly shoot this down if theres any kind of money to be made then why not? Plus it could also lead to their best talents wanting to play for us if we have a big brand over there.

Well in theory its a great idea but USA isnt the market for these things because im sure we had the captian of the usa team before in Reyna and have had no sort of over see's marketing on beasley or edu

Yeah totally agree. It's about the club thought this way. Rangers the brand. Summer tour of the USA next year.

Dont need wilson just a striker now and that should do....bigt
Agree0

We have Goian, bocanegra, weir, bartley, perry, mcmillan and we are maybe getting cuellar in january ... we don't need loans in defence {Ed047's Note - add to that McCulloch, Papac and Broadfoot if we were to be short
Agree0

Why do we need wilson??
Agree0

We desperately need another centre forward and a winger who can beat the last man,hit the bye-line and send in decent crosses.
