Was having a good chat re players out off contract at end off season with an ex player.
His opinion, no rumour we will see significant change again.
Potentially away. Defoe, McGregor, Davies, Firth, Stewart all end off contract
Balogun, Zunga, we have option to sign or not.
That's before we sell.

John25. Balogun was a free transfer and signed a 2 year contract with us I'm sure.

He signed a one year contract with the option of a second.

Reckon Defoe, Firth and Stewart will all go, can see Davis and McGregor being offered another year. Obviously Balogun and Zungu will depend on how they perform this year (think the intention will be to make Zungu’s deal permanent though, unless he does really badly)

I wouldn't rule out shagger and Davis signing up for another year.
Think it'll depend how shagger is fitness/ injury wise.

“his opinion”

So really he doesn’t know?

If fit, I would hope Davis and McGregor get new deals.

Blackthornboy17.really. does anybody know. too many people on here like you that pipe up and do nothing but make smart comments to fellow gers fans. wisen up eh. No sure you relise what this page is called. learn what rumours means in the dictionary then come back with your OPINION.

Davis has another year in him without doubt just game management, McGregor will sign a 1 year deal and again avoid plastic pitches and the like, firth imo will be kept on, apparently already has coaching badges Gerrard rates as a good number 3 and he’s very liked around the place he’s bought into what the rangers are all about. Why would he leave? Why would we let him go? Replace with who that’s happy to know they’ll never play. mcglauchlin n McGregor will rotate to keep McGregor fit and sharp. Balogun signed 1 year with option of 2nd. Stewart will leave poss even in January for nominal fee maybe back to Dundee. Defoe I think will retire and may, just may join the back room staff. Remember I said this. In short Davis McGregor and firth will still be rangers players next season. Playing champion league football 👍🏻🇬🇧.

As long as we can loan Morelos to a EPL club (and they’re all queuing up) then we should get £50m in the summer for him. I’m sure we’ll go on a mad spending spree then 🤪🤪.

Moc he signed a 12 month deal with a further year subject to appearances.

Blackthorn toy that’s why I said it’s his opinion, just like I and you are allowing to have opinions
U r the best joke I’ve heard today.

In gerrard I’d certainly not renew firths contract, we need to clear a slot for Robbie mccrorie or we could lose him too.

13.) 21 Oct 2020
21 Oct 2020 12:54:36
I gerrard I agree re Defoe, I wrote here he could well replace gerrard in future, great ambassador.
Just needs to become more involved with reserves if that’s a road he wants to proceed down.
As we all see greater move for more black players to progress after they stop playing.

Greg Stewart is on a 3 year deal.

Defoe won't play much this season be good to get him off wage bill ( high wage)

Greg Stewart’s contract expires end June 2021.

Good post John25. I’d expect each of these players to be moved on although if fully fit think Davies and McGregor could extend for 12 months.

John25 it’s sad it comes into it but your right mate the irrelevant fact Defoe is black could add to his already great credentials and help Him get a coaching job maybe with the b team u21s and as a striker coach. See how he gets on with it, regarding firth mate if McGregor and mcglauchlin stay next year as we expect them both to be. Then mcrorie would then go out on loan Again. Maybe to English championship for a tear before McGregor retires and he would then come back and compete with mcglauchlin for no 1 spot. Keepers need a few loan spell at young age to make mistakes and bounce back etc your talking 25 before a keeper starts fulfilling his potential. Mcrorie will replace McGregor when he goes and sitting around as 3rd choice doing nothing like firth is not good for his career.

I gerrard good response on goalkeepers, I’m not convinced mcgregor will get another year, due to arthritis and minor knocks he spoke about. Which in his own words take longer to heal.

20.) 21 Oct 2020
21 Oct 2020 14:28:45
Yeah John I have worried myself that it could be his year, if so, I would rather bring someone in to challenge McLaughlin, maybe an older guy plenty experience. Get 2 year out of him while mcrorie goes from livi to championship and comes back around 24 ready to challenge or perhaps take over himself. Romero at Man Utd is a free agent this summer could get him on a pre contract in January. If he’s willing to fall into line wages wise. He just wants to play and he’d get that here, great keeper.

Can imagine Defoe going into a potential coaching role with us come next season, would like to keep him around seems to be a good influence and good lad.

22.) 21 Oct 2020

I definately think Defoe would stay in some capacity as coach etc if he was offered, the guy loves our club and I don't think money would be a problem,

Good posts mate
Will be sad day when mcgreggor retires I’ve really liked him as a player since he first arrived and his fiery temperament
He’s been a great player for Rangers in my opinion
And made some incredible saves in his time and saved points for us and in my view been a true Rangers man
Can’t believe we’re now discussing him possibly retiring now 🙁

Jon is a great keeper too can’t believe he’s 33 hopefully get another 2 seasons out of him?

Cheers stig, McGregor retiring makes me feel old n am only 34 mate lol he’s been a great servant to the club he’d have possibly been a 1 club man if not for all the troubles. I think Jono is a very good keeper, better than I thought when we signed him. He could hold the fort till young mcrorie is ready but I feel he needs another 1-2 years on loan with less pressure in a team that aren’t the best so he gets worked and learns he’s trade. I think shagger will stay 1 more year 👍🏻.

Yeah agree mate

And would be nice to see mcgreggor stay for one more season if not I hope this season is the one he gets the league winners meadow great ending to his career if so
😊.
