Multiple Fan media and Journos now reporting to not expect incomings.

Leon king not going on loan now until at least January and Davies refusing to leave.

Worrying times but we will see what happens come Sunday.

The tie and blazer crew might be worried about a few of the signings the manager has made so far and our own biscuit tin contents might worry them even more .

But I do think a loan signing coming in today if one goes out .

Good news is the club have made a profit from the transfer window, it needs a brick chucked through it .

Not sure how it’s worrying we have plenty players
Manager says we have four first class ch.

Why worrying times? Yes Wednesday was bad, not so much that we lost (they were clearly just better than us, with a bigger budget and okay in a better league), but the manner of the capitulation in the last 20 mins or so. However let’s say we win on Sunday, which of course there is every chance we could (we do still have good players after all) . We end up 2 points ahead of them going into the international break, still in the league cup (which they aren’t) and with the Europa league to look forward to. So why are we so worried? Let’s at least wait until we see how Sunday goes.

Manager must be right then aye, as long as we don't have to defend a corner or a long throw, these are very dangerous and nasty tactics from an opponent and should be outlawed .

Are there wee kids on here?

John that’s what’s worrying that he has said that.

Worrying times? Lol. Saying that like the worlds about to hit another planet or something. Get a grip.


8.) 01 Sep 2023

Ha ha 4 first class CB’s that can’t defend. We are a disgrace defensively and it needs rectified asap or we can continue to ship goals when we come up against teams at our level.

I'm not worried I said the board might be regarding a few of the signings and in turn maybe hesitant in allowing further signings.

I happen to think the manager is a good choice and has done his best given the funds available, none really when you add up outs and ins .
Sunday will be fine their defence is worse than ours and their manager is a gobskitter and an impostor.

Our centre half’s aren’t strong enough regardless of MB spin on his squad. Hopefully our attacking players can find some form in order to win games. We won’t keep many clean sheets this season.


11.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 17:05:04
Did you not say there would be a signing John? Is that not case now?


12.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 17:09:30
I agree Gers1978. The champions league has gone. let's look forward to Sunday and get behind the team. I think things will click sooner rather than later.

Lots to look forward to imo.


13.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 17:25:09
Slating the defence but not lost anyone who played last season, got Souttar back from injury, got Sterling and Balogun for cover and Yilmaz who missed most of last season so I'd still say we are stronger than we were last season. What we have is good enough to win the league and have a strong run in Europa. So much negativity around.


14.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 17:31:14
We have a scary inability to defend cross balls. I would have liked to have seen at least 1 in today.


15.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 17:56:29
Big risk for me not bringing in another good quality centre half because i feel we are another few injuries away from a crisis in the centre of defence. If that were to happen again its totally unforgiveable. I would say what we've got atm in there isn't good enough in all honesty.


16.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:01:16
God help us if we lose on Sunday…. I can see it happening right before my eyes. Our defence is rotten and it should have been addressed this window. I have the fear for Sunday.


17.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:13:10
I’m not posting till after Celtic game, remember the experts say everthing available in papers

However Souttar rejected rangers as he wants CL football, he is having a laugh.


18.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:14:00
The Manager says we have 4 first class centre half’s? That’s a big worry and they 4 will cost us the Title.


19.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:18:08
One contributor twisted "the board might be worried" (in one respect) in to "worrying times" it looks like what he does daily besides pretending to know all but knows nothing.


20.) 01 Sep 2023

@Bluewell. He did. I am organising a firing squad for him.


21.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:23:31
I'd give Davies a go at left back as a more defnesive backline let Tav push on and revert to back three when he does can drop the useless lundstrum then.


22.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:27:36
Defence is a worry for Europe but let’s be honest we could multiple games in SPL without conceding when we do we have to burying teams at the other end and that could come, let’s see what Sunday brings before we kick the nuclear threat up another notch.


23.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 18:29:42
Sputter wants CL football? Really? Does he realise he signed for Leicester? I’m not slagging you John not at all I’m just airing my reaction to that comment.

My concern is we have players MB does not rate or fancy, why don’t we sell at a loss, we need rid they need gone if he won’t play them?

I’m at a loss to how our club deals with some matters.

At the time of Beale's appointment there were many that questioned whether this was a positive thing and I have to admit to being one of those that supported his appointment. Unfortunately, I am seeing nothing to suggest that he has what it takes to be a manager of Rangers in the mould of Jock Wallace, Graeme Souness or Walter Smith.
Given the circumstances surrounding Steven Gerrard's appointment I consider it to have been a success despite only one league title given that he inherited a total shambles.
Beale cannot say the same. He worked under Gerrard and must have known what was required to be manager of Rangers. That title is much bigger than being a coach. He has spent big on players, he has brought in free transfers that were considered to be quality players. So far they have not gelled into a winning team that puts other teams, especially Scottish Teams to the sword and despite his comments to the contrary I personally do not believe that he has four top quality centre backs, he admitted himself that he hadn't replaced Kent and I would argue that we still haven't replaced candelas and how many seasons ago was that.
Players recruited under our past DoF have in general been poor, yet many of them still command a first team spot ahead of the players signed by Beale, (some of those players costing us considerable funds) .
We might have a stronger squad but given the poor level of player in our squad, (and at the end of this transfer window some of them will inevitably still be here), we don't have eleven top quality players to fill the starting eleven assuming that they were being played in their favoured position.
Sunday will be significant, win and, rightly or wrongly, Beale will be heralded a hero. lose and his credibility will be doubted.
Let's wait and see!
I expect us to win and win well, but then I am a super optimist.

Beale says we have 4 top class centre backs, what a laugh. We have Goldson who was rushed back after injury, which kind of says it all about the others, we have Souttar who has a horrendous injury record, we have Davies who never seems to be available to play for lots of reasons and we have Balogun who can`t play two games a week and who was brought in as back up to let King go out on loan but now seems part of the plans. To say that we couldn`t get a left centre back signed to back up, or replace, Davies is a joke. If the EPL blew the Trusty one out of the water and Panzo wouldn`t come he should have had other targets. We now have a problem at left back because Yilmaz seems to have the same attitude to Davies towards playing and the Barisic problem was not addressed. Meanwhile we buy or loan 4 strikers, the mans incompetent .

Need a big no nonsense CB nothing fancy just oot my road and he gets his nut on it, De Jong ripped it right out of them there were 7 around him when he scored not one could get near him in the air and he nearly did it earlier. a 33 year old no spring chicken bossed it, whilst the likes of Dessers just smirks his way through 90 mins.


27.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 20:16:56
Bluewell we wanted Souttar, Beale told board matondo is answer and we don’t need a winger, he is also pinning hopes on roofe and Lawrence

I’ll be very interested to see his European squad.


28.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 20:55:29
Regarding Euro squad. A few players not going to be happy @john27.


29.) 01 Sep 2023
01 Sep 2023 21:15:45
Matondo is the great hope then, a wee bit more chaotic than Sakala but maybe he will improve. The guy replaced by Ryan Jack when we were 5-1 down with 5 mins to go, probably to avoid going 6-1 down, this is what we call 'tactics'.

Lundstram picked on Sunday then the dug is going for a much longer walk than he might expect .


30.) 01 Sep 2023

So no signings eh!


Jee there's a surprise ? not!

Chris Jack just confirmed on the Rangers Review live stream that Rangers will not do any further business tonight.


32.) 01 Sep 2023

let's hope celtic don't get any corners then we should be ok.

34.) 02 Sep 2023

If need be Yfeko can play LB unitl either Barisic or Yilmaz is back.


35.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 12:14:07
If our manager gets his tactics right then we will win tomorrow, of that I have no doubt. That is where the problem lies, I don't believe that he can transfer his thought process to the football park and he doesn't seem capable of motivating these players to go out and die for the jersey, to chase every ball and intimidate the opposition. We saw the very opposite against Kilmarnock, we looked like we had an inferiority complex against the Dutch, tomorrow every Rangers player going on to that pitch must be 100% motivated to destroy the opposition.


36.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 13:55:25
I really don't get the goldson thing I think he's a terrible defender that stupid holding watching player nonsense watch and attack the ball ?

He can't defend crosses into his own box and is slow.

I get hex the best of bad bunch but ask is he a

Amoruso
Butcher
Gough
Cuellar
Boumsong
Moore
Hendry
Weir

Nope nowhere near

Sorry but none of the CBS we have are good enough.


37.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 18:21:17
I think that speaks volumes about MB if he thinks we have 4 first class CHs. He's either delusional or his standards are incredibly low.


38.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 04:13:42
Basseys been the best CB we have had since arriving back in the SPFL.
Be a long time until we get another CB with that kind of power, speed and focus.

Most Rangers fans wanted Beale whilst we still had Gio in the job. I was never a fan, even under Gerrard, with Beale's tactics (allegedly) we only won ONE trophy and our rivals were in turmoil that year.

It would be interesting to see how Gio got on if he was given the freedom in the transfer market that Beale had.

Dessers and Danilo? Or Colak? I know who i would have.

Time for someone who can get a team that can play to the Scottish league because we have been useless against the low block tactics. even under Gerrard.
