04 Jul 2017 23:02:00
Heres a wee thought, if progres can beat us I dread to think what an actual football team will do to us. What a waste of 10 million quid. Could have added 4 decent players to last years lot n finished second, cause we ain't winning anything.



04 Jul 2017 23:51:39
Wasted thought!



04 Jul 2017 23:53:09
I love my club but good god it's hard work being a rangers fan! Pedro is on borrowed time and will be gone before the years out!



05 Jul 2017 00:01:04
I was on here last week trying to get people to stop being negative it I apologise to everyone cause after tonight even I'm feeling negative and I like to always see the positive in things but as you said we have wasted money on players we brought guys In too progress In Europe and that's not happening there more money wasted I really don't rate the two wingers ped has brought in cancel dalcios loan the now and save money on his wages

GOD HELP US THIS SEASON



05 Jul 2017 05:23:14
Frustratedbear your name suggests that you are waiting for something to moan about. Rats leave sinking ships but some just want a full on mutiny



05 Jul 2017 05:36:10
Think this could be a blessing in disguise guys, yes Europe's a nice adventure but I think the league is a little more important this year. I'm not saying being out of Europe is what I want in any way shape or form but think it came too early is all πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”



05 Jul 2017 07:16:27
We still have a couple of players to come in we had a youngster at the back partnered by a young newbie let the players settle then judge them and as dazk says the league is more important and I remember the media judging Laudrup after his first European games for us and look how that turned out



05 Jul 2017 10:08:50
Agree we need time (we don't have much) but lack of sharpness and fitness was a worry. There were players blowing out their a***s by half time?



05 Jul 2017 10:13:17
A polished turd is still a turd.

A blessing in disguise i'll tell the jokes.

Steady the ship we need a new captain who at least has a go at players on the park.



05 Jul 2017 12:08:25
Denbear is that captain Alves who due to his recent internationals unavailable



05 Jul 2017 12:35:57
Folk saying wasn't bothered about Europe is utter pi*h. You do realise there is NO money in Scottish football and without money we are not going to catch Celtic this season or next! They will likely qualify for the CL and will have more millions to spend. The board pumped extra money in to transfers in the hope we would make the group stage. That's the reality of this mess!



05 Jul 2017 13:04:38
Alves looks like the obvious choice as my wife could boss the team better than Wallace.
I feel there are too many foregin players brought in at the one time.
We should have secured Dorrans and Walker ages ago by paying the going rate it may have been a different scoreline last night.
We have one eye on catching Celtic we should be more prepared to beat diddy teams like the one last night i mean them not us.
We needed to steady the ship before we could look at taking large steps forward and established manager should have been the first appointment not a risk with Pedro.
I'm not saying things won't get better but for god sake we have just be humiliated last night.



05 Jul 2017 13:12:23
I'm not for one minute saying I'm not bothered bout European football but to think realistically that we could get to the group's was a huge huge ask. I'm just saying that in my opinion the main concern is to close the gap on not just Celtic but Aberdeen as well. I also think that even without European football Mr king still would have spent money. I'm trying to be positive and maybe wait until possibly October and then start poking Mr caixinha our the door if need be πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚



05 Jul 2017 14:06:55
Although last night was awful. Didn't Strachen lose against a bad team in hit first Europeans tie? Look how successful he was.



05 Jul 2017 14:09:52
I agree we need to see how we are in the coming season. Who knowes everything may just click.
I think with the likes of Dorrans coming on board we should be ok.
Remember most of the players he brought in are only knowen in their countries apart from Alves that is.
The worst thing to do and i'm guilty of it is to watch a player on youtube that we have signed. If you believe what you see we would be beating Barcelona and the likes every game.



06 Jul 2017 13:24:07
GF7, what makes you think celtic will get into the champs league? they will have a task to do that



06 Jul 2017 13:22:38
The biggest thing missing on the park is leadership and that will continue until Wallace is stripped of the captaincy and it is given to Alves. He is not captain material, when the chips are down he goes into hiding and he didn't have the decency to come out, as team captain and apologise to the fans. That was left to young Rossiter. Maybe they couldn't find Wallace since he had gone missing after about five minutes.



06 Jul 2017 13:32:59
gary75

Are you in touch with reality or do you live outside reality?



06 Jul 2017 13:46:55
Gary75,

We have a right to moan and this is the most embarrassing defeat ever by a Rangers team in Europe.
Time will tell if the appointment of Caixinha is a big mistake but it might be a long season ahead



06 Jul 2017 14:13:03
Its not as if this is unexpected. The signs were there like giant neon signs at the end of last season! Wake up guys, this clown should be shown the door now. How many more humiliations can we endure?



06 Jul 2017 14:24:38
The team last night were woeful, however, all the new signings were not in place including Alves, who will make a significant difference. Did Brenda not fail at his first attempt in Europe against Red Imps before the run they went on? I agree the warning signs are there and to be out of Europe this soon is a financial disaster . But I think it is far too soon to put the boot into Pedro and the team, the media and all the big mouth pundits will do that for us. We need to support them and move on, we have been through worse than this! keep the faith .



06 Jul 2017 13:53:37
Pedro has done nothing last few games of the season or this time around to say he can manage Rangers. The plan should have been to add 4 or 5 quality players to the existing squad and improve over the next 2 seasons. When PEDRO goes a new manager will come in and he will want to buy his own players, so where does the next Β£10mill come from. Maybe 2 or 3 of Pedro new boys will make it but he has no track record in managing a team like Rangers.

Rangers need to appoint a quality manager first then start a rebuild but if this goes pop as it looks like it will do then the club is going to go backwards again. How many games has he won since he came in, maybe 3 so that tells you he has not got it. He will rip into the players, alienate even more than he has now and leave a real mess behind him.



06 Jul 2017 14:45:29
This isn't about being out of Europe its about the journey to restore our club as a world wide brand and our credibility. The result against Progres is THE most humbling in our history and unlike many similar embarrassments over the past 5 years and there have been TOO many of them the Progres Result resounded around Europe where many still view us as a Major Force and on our way back.

The result crushed most of the optimism we all had given player signings and Ashley going. i'm personally disgusted embarrassed and hurting for my club. There are NO excuses. The Cyprus team will crush Progres who are no better than an average Junior Team. In any other era Pedro would have been sacked on the spot.



04 Jul 2017 22:04:54
I posted on the 18 th of June and warned you about Pedro! Sorry to say after tonight's embarrassment I've been proved correct, he hasn't a clue, out of his depth, and a disgrace to the club, time to go Pedro! Get Barry in before it's too late.



04 Jul 2017 22:32:52
Barry Ferguson? The guy that got sacked from Clyde.



04 Jul 2017 22:38:56
What barry that nearly clyde fc relegated get a grip



04 Jul 2017 22:39:36
It will get better



04 Jul 2017 22:53:41
It can't get any worse surely
Embarrassing is an understatement



04 Jul 2017 23:02:27
Barry?! Are you serious? You're one of these folk that just slates folk so that if it goes tits up you can say I told you so. We've got enough enemies with all the other rats in Scotland. Get behind the team man!



04 Jul 2017 22:35:22
@billyblue - away and behave! Barry Ferguson? Are you having a laugh? Didn't exactly pull up trees at Clyde and I don't see any teams battering down his door with offers so how the feck is he good enough for Rangers?



04 Jul 2017 22:56:54
Barry Ferguson LOL



04 Jul 2017 23:53:20
Congratulations Billy, you were right!

Actually, no you weren't - we're heading in the right direction under King and Pedro. with a positive and open mind



05 Jul 2017 00:06:20
We still need players. Yet again we are let down by Wallace, Windass and sadly Tavernier.

We need two quality fullbacks, we need Alves in with the captain's armband and we need to decide who our top players are and start them. They will only become match fit and get used to playing together when they all have game time!



05 Jul 2017 00:13:51
Barry Ferguson lol wow to many brain dead rangers fans honestly



05 Jul 2017 00:15:14
ferguson u are having a laugh, that guy got previous managers sacked because he spat the dummy out, I would have naismith back before him, and too say sack Pedro is a total disgrace the team he spent 10 million pound on as the shower we had are hopeless



05 Jul 2017 00:24:52
Get two proper full backs and a proper captain. We are suffering from a lack of leadership just like last season!



05 Jul 2017 13:02:45
Super ally was running away with the league before the πŸ’© hit the fan and we ended up with no players, get super back in and he will sort us out, cause if we stick with Pedro, it's going to be 40 points behind this year, the guys a donkey.



05 Jul 2017 15:09:52
Whether we like it or not Pedro will remain as manager unless we get off to a honking start to the season (which I unfortunately think will be the case), kings not going to give him Β£10m to spend and get rid of him so soon unfortunately! Really can't believe the comments on here, people talking about bringing in mccoist or Barry ferguson, I mean get a grip!



06 Jul 2017 13:25:16
BR65

How is the worst defeat for any Scottish side in Europe heading in the right direction you clown?



06 Jul 2017 14:14:06
Aye leadership from the very top and the one down from him



06 Jul 2017 14:17:02
Tom USA

We are lacking more than leadership and we talk about getting proper full backs.
Tav I would agree but Wallace will miss Mackay this season but we will wait and see.
It's hard to remain positive after such a shocking result.



06 Jul 2017 13:31:48
Ally back that has to be a worse appointment than Pedro



07 Jul 2017 00:54:41
Copland, MacKay gave Wallace no cover whatsoever and was part of the problem and the number of times Wallace ended up in no man's land because he went on a run and got caught out because he had no midfield cover was frightening. We should have been sorting out our defence and bringing in someone better than what we had for the wing positions.



04 Jul 2017 16:15:34
Sky sports reporting Forest are paying 1.5 million for McKay and we've paid 1.5 million for Dorrans



04 Jul 2017 17:51:15
Β£750,000 for Dorrans apparently



04 Jul 2017 18:12:56
So Β£700,000 for Barrie McKay and Graham Dorrans will cost Β£800,000

To be honest Barrie being only 22yo should be been at least 2m I could only hope there is a 20% sell on fee



04 Jul 2017 18:23:15
we can't expect Β£2M for a player who has only had 1 good season in the scottish championship and has 5mths left on his contract he along with 90% of last years team didn't perform



04 Jul 2017 19:33:18
Just watched first half and disappointed isn't the word plain and simple not good enough shocking infact



04 Jul 2017 19:36:07
Sky sports saying 1.3million for dorrens and mackay going for 500,000 so I'd believe them tbh



04 Jul 2017 20:38:44
What an absolute shambles we are meant to be moving forward! Not a player has a clue what they are doing never mind what position they are playing in! Wouldn't give that clown another bolt to spend judging by that! F#$king raging!



04 Jul 2017 21:24:59
I don't even know what to say, i want to stand by the manager but after that just duno if I can, spending all that money and we're out to a total Diddy team. I just can't see how it's going to get better. Not a player on the park knew what was going on, I don't think Pedro understands tactics much the same as warbs. Gutted!



04 Jul 2017 21:29:27
utter crap beaten by a team that have never won a game in european competition not one player gets pass marks they should all be ashamed of themselves



04 Jul 2017 22:16:15
absolutely shambles of a performance whatever that system is its not working first of all you nd full backs who can cross a ball neither of ours can do it we have a captain who not once have i saw him tell a player it has to be better i saw rossiter do more encouraging than wallace pressure on caixinha already i'm afraid europe wasnt a big priority on my list this season as squad isn't good enuf but that's unacceptable



04 Jul 2017 23:00:20
Id have taken Mackay tonight. and Forrester and Kiernan and Ohallaran. none are great but better than the sh*te that was there tonight that was shameful.



04 Jul 2017 23:50:37
McKay, Forrester, Kieran and o'Halloran are your answer to that shambles Chinabairn? Don't know what stadium you have been going to the last two seasons but definitely isn't ibrox. End of the day doesn't matter what we say about how disgraceful a result that was, the board has backed caixinha with money so he's going to get time to bed in players we have spent a lot of money on. End of the day will need to see results in the league and see how much time he gets



05 Jul 2017 00:27:10
Wallace is not a leader, how many times did we say this last season and he is still there. Sorry but we will continue to do nothing while we have players like that in our team. He is not even a good defender.



05 Jul 2017 00:38:51
Seriously chibabairn?



06 Jul 2017 09:52:48
Hold on a second! Are you lot seriously questioning Chinabairns point that McKay, Forrester, Keirnan and Ohalloran are better than those imposters that played the other night! you lot want to have a good look at yourselves. Aye, those players have been inconsistent. They also drew with Celtic at Parkhead and beat Aberdeen 3-0 at pittodrie. This lot got beat 2-0 by a bunch of Luxembourg dentists that were in their pre-season. Get a grip!



06 Jul 2017 14:15:20
if that system is how pedro wants to play then we better dig deep and buy 2 quality full backs who can actually cross a ball but it doesn't take the greatest football brain to see what were going to do progres learned from last wk and made sure their full backs sat deep to cut nikos diagonal passing our footballs so predictable its unreal only positives i have so far are jack and rossiter and even then i think having both in the starting 11 is slowing our play down



04 Jul 2017 12:51:34
Rangers agree dorrans fee
Source skysports news
I believe skysports before the s*n rag
Or the daily rebel πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§



04 Jul 2017 14:00:23
Sky Sports and the Sun are run by the same folk, so are the government pretty much lol



04 Jul 2017 14:39:19
Β£1.3m looks like good value to me, and I'm sure most of that will be offset by the McKay deal, as there's no way he's moving to Forrest for less than Β£750k plus sell on clause.



04 Jul 2017 16:02:57
mackay fee is been quoted as low as 500k total joke letting the lad go for anything below 1 mill i hope they have inserted a 30 40 percent sell on percentage if he is sold for 500k

We really need start singing up our talent on longer term deals



04 Jul 2017 16:27:23
I would have taken a tenner for McKay! Seems fairly obvious he downed tools when the snake left, Pedro sussed it straight away, hence why he was banished to the Under 20's. Wouldn't be surprised if him or his agent had been setting this up for months.

Top talent, no desire. Was evident in the scrappy games last year where he couldn't kick his own arse. The true definition of a "Luxury player" IMO. When things are going well around him, he's a world beater. the rest of the time he is worse than average! Our very own James Forrest!



04 Jul 2017 17:23:27
Looks like its 500k actually for Mckay, shocking.



04 Jul 2017 17:45:17
We are well shot of him. No heart, to weak and really no consistency. Take whatever "the loaf" is willing to pay and use it to bring in Walker. 100% upgrade



04 Jul 2017 17:52:45
Mackay doesn't want to play for us so I could care what happens to him



04 Jul 2017 18:03:36
Pedro wants men in the team, players that can get stuck in when things are not going well. Barrie is not that player. If somebody offered me 10 grand a week I would run through brick walls for them. He was really inconsistent and questionable attitude. Despite all this I would bet the figure we are getting for him will be nearer the 1.5m than the 500k quoted.



04 Jul 2017 18:55:50
Biggest mistake Pedro has made so far in letting McKay go. Mark my words. Pedro won't see out the season. He'll be gone before Christmas



04 Jul 2017 19:34:08
The Seeker. Based on this viewing I agree.



04 Jul 2017 21:14:39
Going by this performance we will be left with no manager and a dozen dumplings we won't be able to sell.
McKay was our best player last year, can't understand why we are selling him so cheap and paying double for a guy a good 10 years older! Mcinnes was a missed opportunity!



04 Jul 2017 21:37:32
Taxi for pedro tonight please



04 Jul 2017 22:01:28
Agree with everything you say Spurs until you mentioned McInness. We Don't need a manager who gets ripped another hole every time his team play the beggars.



05 Jul 2017 01:36:42
I wanted McInnrs to get the job, he was by far the best candidate. Nobody else on here agreed with me. This guy doesn't understand our game. He is a computer manager with all his sheets of information, there is no passion and playing Kenny Miller out wide when he is the only guy who can score a goal tells you everything that you need to know.



06 Jul 2017 10:03:34
TheSeeker, i agree with what you're saying but about McInnes. you're dead wrong. Aye, the beggers beat them but he just finished 9 points ahead of us with a fraction of the budget. He was the clear choice. Imagine what he could do with 50,000 fans each home game, 10million we gave Pedro and cherry pick Aberdeens best. Plus he's one of our own! No matter what you say, that matters.



06 Jul 2017 13:12:04
Sorry but you can't turn a crap team into world beaters over night and we still have too many of Warburton's failures in the team. Two full backs that can defend, a captain that can't lead by example, that lacks passion and the ability to take the game by the scruff of the neck and make a difference, still playing Windass!, hoping that Rossiter and Krancjar can become magicians overnight after a season out injured, the players need time to gel, we need two new fullbacks and a proper captain!



04 Jul 2017 12:26:27
I read McKay could be off to Forest for Β£500k, i know it's way less than we should be getting for him but i would rather take that than have a player who has no interest or loyalty to us.



04 Jul 2017 12:45:13
Darn, where is RB Leipzig's millions when you need it



04 Jul 2017 13:16:19
Leipzigs fingers got burned with Oliver Burke



04 Jul 2017 15:11:07
@timalloy - we don't need RB's millions anymore now that the retail deal has been sorted.
I'd be more concerned with your own teams limited buying. Hayes and you actually recommended May! Is that because Celtic are skint with all the money getting pumped into the hotel venture?



04 Jul 2017 15:29:23
Probably in the same place as celtics millions. In the biscuit tin!



04 Jul 2017 17:18:11
Timalloy, why are you obsessed with our site? lol and i've read that you drink with your Rangers mates, i wonder if they know you talk behind their backs about them, i know what i would do ;-)



04 Jul 2017 17:21:07
Timalloy, what's the conversion rate for Dembele dollars? are we close to your superstar striker?



04 Jul 2017 10:15:17
Media now reporting that the deal to sign Dorrans will be completed within 48 hours now that the bid has been accepted. Good news indeed.



04 Jul 2017 12:25:52
Really hope so
It's good to have depth in the squad but depth in our quality is what will help us challenge for trophies



04 Jul 2017 12:26:28
Need him in on or b4 7th July for next round in Europe assuming we get there mate. Walker can be a wildcard tae.



04 Jul 2017 12:49:33
Hope walker does sign, looked quality last season when playing against us, think he would be similar to the signing of mccann



04 Jul 2017 17:16:22
Can only see it in a few Scottish rags and it's speculative at best. Still no further on than it was weeks ago as far as I'm concerned! Getting very boring now



05 Jul 2017 00:34:46
We are still four or five players short in terms of a squad, unfortunately that includes two first eleven fullbacks! Anyone that thinks that Wallace is a captain is sadly deluded!
