I see Rangers Review are running a story that the fitness camp that Bailey Rice is at are helping him get fit in time for pre season at Rangers. Does anyone know it he's agreed to a deal?
I thought I'd seen something that he'd signed for Nottingham Forest.
07 Jun 2026 15:43:33
Hopefully not, he isn't good enough for us.
07 Jun 2026 15:53:00
The Forest thing was an AI generated image and was false.
As far as anyone is aware, just now nothing signed, and multiple other clubs have been linked, including Prem sides, Championship, Dutch and Italian.
07 Jun 2026 15:57:07
Chris, He's 19 years old, fgs man.
07 Jun 2026 15:58:52
Fans like Chris are exactly why Bailey Rice should leave for a fresh start elsewhere.
07 Jun 2026 16:07:45
I think we expect him to sign the deal and go out on loan next season.
07 Jun 2026 16:13:22
If Rice could stay injury free and get a season of game time he'd be a better player than Barron. đ¤ˇ
07 Jun 2026 16:14:16
Chris, he was better than Miller when they were at Motherwell. He hasn't developed with us because he doesn't play games. Sign him on a new 4 year deal and loan him out for this season somewhere he plays every week.
07 Jun 2026 16:17:57
I disagree, Chris. The boy is a talent, a season on loan playing regular football is what he needs.
I think if he left now for free we would regret.
07 Jun 2026 16:21:58
Rice has suffered injuries that have affected his development, but he's still young enough to have a future as a good player. He's a player who now needs to get game time. The best move for all would be for him to sign on for another year, with the club having an optional extension, and go out on loan.
If he's successful on loan and stays injury free, then take on the extension and bring him into the fold. If he picks up further injuries, or shows signs of his development having stalled, then we could let him move on next year.
07 Jun 2026 16:32:24
Don't agree with you, Chris, whatsoever. đ¤ Bailey Rice is a talented midfielder and is good enough. đ¤ Yes he's lost his way a bit with us due to injuries and lack of game time, but hopefully now get him fit and his chance to show Rohl what he's about/got. đ¤ đŦđ§
07 Jun 2026 16:47:12
Chris, an example why players struggle at Ibrox.
07 Jun 2026 16:50:23
Better than Barron heard it all now. đ¤Ŗđ¤Ŗđ¤Ŗ
07 Jun 2026 16:56:08
I like Barron, Skins, but Rice has the capabilities to be a much better footballer, hopefully signs a long contract and gets loaned out for a season.
07 Jun 2026 16:58:58
Can 100% guarantee Baily Rice gives much more in determination than the majority of our other midfielders, other than Connor Barron. To win games of football, we need players willing to give their all. Would personally love to keep him as part of the squad.
07 Jun 2026 16:59:34
Skins, he ain't completely wrong. Technical ability & reading of a game, he's above and beyond most his age and above.
Barron isn't anything special when it comes to footballing ability, but his work rate and attitude counterbalance it. A mix of the two and you'd have an unbelievable talent.
07 Jun 2026 17:19:48
He's played about 5 games, Chris, so how can you make that assumption? He needs to play football and develop. He won't get that at us. If he signs a new deal, he must go on loan for at least two seasons. Fans should be far less critical of young players and start supporting them more.
07 Jun 2026 17:42:53
We need to keep him, loan him out to a decent side where he can play with a bit of freedom and get his confidence and experience up. Either that, or we let him go to Europe and have to bid ÂŖ15m for him in 4 years. đ
07 Jun 2026 17:50:21
Skins, sorry didn't mean to offend your love for Barron. đĢĄ Forgot you aren't allowed to say anything about his ability on Rangers pages.
07 Jun 2026 18:17:13
Rice hasn't played enough games because whenever he has got a game he hasn't done enough to keep his place. He's now had 4 managers, they can't all be wrong. No doubt he's talented, but as a midfielder he needs to do the other side of the game too, and he's never shown a willingness to do that. He may have more skill than Barron, but he's not as good a midfielder as for him giving much more in determination to win games than other midfielders, that's just a joke.
I'm quite happy to give him another chance if he wants it, but he needs to step up and show what he can do so that others can stop making excuses for him.
07 Jun 2026 18:53:16
Yeh Chris I wondered why I never palyed for Rangers had a fleeling it was you all along. You need to take a back seat for a while and see if the youngsters can make it, no more going into that board room with threats, no more turing up at the mgrs house on a sat night, no more orginising protests at the trg ground.
Just no more Chris, go back to the UN.
07 Jun 2026 19:13:43
He's better than Barron, but he does not play, what a load of s***. He might have the potential to be better, but as of right now Barton is better, and that's why he starts before him.
07 Jun 2026 19:14:39
Wee Bailey Rice is the sort of player we should be giving game time to this season, and he'll come on leaps and bounds, and was miles ahead of Liam Miller when they were coming through at Motherwell together. Think a loan to a spl team is what he needs. It helped Curtis. It's a Scottish core we need going forward.
07 Jun 2026 19:17:16
Chris, I'm sorry, but you're well off with that comment regarding Rice. He most definitely is a talent.
What Rice does need is a good loan move, similar to what Curtis had this season.
If we were to lose him on a free, I would bet a lot of money that we would regret it in 2-3 years. Also, we need to remind ourselves he is still only 19.
07 Jun 2026 20:06:33
The lack of reading comprehension at times is wild. No one said Rice is better than Barron, but after a full season under his belt, he most likely would. Genuinely so hard to post on here at times, man.
So many people just looking to cry.
07 Jun 2026 20:09:30
I think he was meaning Gelhardt.
07 Jun 2026 20:12:13
I think chris isn't really a Rangers fan or a proper football fan đ bailey rice one of the best players on the pitch against man united isn't good enough?? Please watch some football
07 Jun 2026 22:51:34
From what I have seen and heard about Bailey through the years, he was a bit ahead of his station. A lot of technical ability, and the club hoped he could be like Davis, but he's struggled to get physically ready to play 60+ games a season. I think it's best for both parties to go separate ways.
07 Jun 2026 23:22:48
Think we must get guys like Rice, Curtis signed on long term contracts & loan them out every season until they are 20-21 for regular game time, experience & development, & then integrate to 1st team. Only exception of course would be if we ever had a young superstar like a Rooney/Dowman/Moore type player, but they are very rare.
07 Jun 2026 23:39:32
Rice is 19 and has 11 under 19 caps and 2 under 21 caps. If he can be written off just like that, then there is no hope for any young player at our club.
08 Jun 2026 03:04:58
He has other offers, but we have put a good plan forward to him and his team, both financial and development/playing time.
Rohl wants to see him in Pre season, but the expectation is that he will go out on loan. This may include a recall option.
08 Jun 2026 09:10:30
Give our youth a chance, we gave Curtis away, only to be landed with that Olson joke, one thing our young lads will give is heart, we must start to believe in our kids, also a lot cheaper!
08 Jun 2026 12:36:09
Curtis is a talented young player who needs nurturing. He needs to play. We should ensure we keep him and Lian him out. He also needs to play his part to fulfill his potential.
With his skill and raised his efforts like Barron he'll be a prize.
