Apparently Rangers leading the pack to sign Hannibal.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 09:02:26
Yes Rangers are very interested in him, was told this very recently, but we can't get him on loan like many said, but we can,6m mandatory next season, yes 1 year remaining on his contract.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 09:29:23
How would that work my star, I think this was the exact thing the bosman ruling was avoiding? We can’t pay Man U money if he’s out of contract?
I’m not disputing your information, I just can’t see legally how this will happen?
He’d need to extend his Man U contract?
3.) 25 Aug 2024 10:01:50
Dado he will obviously have it in his loan agreement mate, Burney are trying for exactly the same agreement as us.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 10:11:12
Still doesn’t change the fact that we’ll be paying Man U for an out of contract player, which is against the law, no frowned upon but fundamentally against EU law.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 10:19:31
Cool dado, but obviously something can be done now.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 10:24:09
It’ll basically be a ‘deferred payment’ kind of situation, ie we take him now and pay the amount for him next summer.
7.) 25 Aug 2024 10:28:17
Payment would be made whilst under contract and legal agreement made whilst under contract, not too difficult to do or understand.
8.) 25 Aug 2024 10:31:47
Dado let's wait and see mate, we want him on loan first, I would like to understand it much better but that is what's happening.
9.) 25 Aug 2024 10:34:30
Sounds like a deferred payment. I'd do that for Mejbri.
10.) 25 Aug 2024 10:49:55
Man U could make him sign a year extension dado then he goes with loan with obligation to buy basicslly meaning we can get a year to pay the deal but it’s effectively a permenant deal.
11.) 25 Aug 2024 11:06:19
Dado, I believe have the option to trigger a 1 year extension so in this case once he is loaned United will trigger the extension and sell next summer.
12.) 25 Aug 2024 11:08:08
I hope your right my star, he’d be a step up from what we’ve had.
13.) 25 Aug 2024 11:13:46
Mills is not a deferred payment is he’s not our player, he would be a loan signing and still a Man U player until next summer at which point he’s out of contract. We can not pay Man U money for a non contract player.
Now, if he’s not a loan player this season and signs a 4 year context with us now then yes, it’s a deferred payment.
What’s so difficult to understand? It’s not rocket science.
14.) 25 Aug 2024 11:16:16
I find it very hard to believe we're going to spend £6m on a guy available on a free in 6 months. And especially one with such little first team exposure (one full season in the championship a year ago) . I could see it happening for £1-2m and good sell on %s, but £6m!?
15.) 25 Aug 2024 11:18:23
I'm sorry but 6m for a guy with 12 months left on a contract for us should be a non starter we simply can't afford it.
16.) 25 Aug 2024 11:51:29
You are basically buying him just now but payment not due until next year, a majority of deals will be done this way now all across Europe to avoid the FFP and it’s also helps getting rid of players with one year on their contracts, not saying we are buying Hannibal but can see how this is getting done, teams like Newcastle could well go down this route to get players in quicker and avoid FFP, it helps us with rebuilding quicker when we have not the funds to do so.
17.) 25 Aug 2024 12:13:28
What I've heard on this one is that there is a +1 year extension option that can be triggered by the club, but it isn't automatic as he hasn't played the number of games set in the contract - therefore would have to be accepted by the player.
Player would obviously accept it if it meant he could get the move he wants now on order to kick start his career instead of spending another season in under 23 league.
18.) 25 Aug 2024 12:46:33
No danger we paying that for a player out of contract just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
19.) 25 Aug 2024 13:00:50
Dado everything done under contract it's now very common no rules legally or otherwise broken . which would be very very naughty boys if they did uhuh . It is deferred payment all above board and normal, the info is out there if you wish to check, don't worry let the clever people deal with it.
20.) 25 Aug 2024 13:14:55
Regarding hannibal, was that other mob from the eastend not big favourites to sign him (i hope not right enough) ?I would love us to be able to sign both hannibal and joan jordan and what a difference those two would make to our midfield ?We can only hope ?.
21.) 25 Aug 2024 13:39:55
Clever people, you really are show rangers class there Mill, it’s actually gutting if you are a rangers fan.
He won’t be loaned and paid for next year when out of contract, that’s just common sense, something which I get your lacking.
He’ll either be sold on a deferred payment or extend his contract, loaned with an obligation to buy.
Why don’t you just go back to the little boys room and let the grown ups talk.
22.) 25 Aug 2024 16:49:21
Ditto Dado are you suggesting we don't have clever people . brick wall I give up .
23.) 25 Aug 2024 18:23:19
That would be better for everybody Mills, really struggling with the basics with you.
24.) 25 Aug 2024 19:08:57
Yes you've really struggled today best to lie low, so many tried to help you and failed.
25.) 25 Aug 2024 20:24:17
Dado if you're havin a dig or slagging someone in person with even a gers fan or mate it's ok, however in print it doesn't work the same, my fault no offence intended .
01 Aug 2024 07:20:52
I've been told there has been a huge fall out with Clement and Lowery, story goes he won't play for Rangers again. i'm only passing on what i was told so i don't know if there is any truth in it. Time will tell.
1.) 01 Aug 2024 08:50:38
Did he not also fall out with gvb mb and naismith? Boy has talent but something holding him back and tbh he needs to go somewhere restart his career.
2.) 01 Aug 2024 08:53:14
Sadly he’s not reached his potential anyway. He never played last season so no loss. Attitude clearly stinking mate. Thinks he’s something. Watched him chuck his arms about in the Birmingham game moaning at a teammate, can’t mind who then next phase of play it was him who took a heavy touch and lost the ball. Boys heads in the clouds. Reason hearts sent him back to us.
3.) 01 Aug 2024 08:53:28
I was told different, that he has worked intensely with him pre-season, he's been involved in all the pre-season games also, but like you say time will tell.
4.) 01 Aug 2024 08:56:37
Seemingly his attitude was shocking at hearts that's why he got punted back to us. He's not looked the same since his 1st season, pity cause he looked a class wee player in the making, not looked too great in preseason either.
Prob going to be another wasted talent.
5.) 01 Aug 2024 09:02:19
It’s about time we stopped letting players think they’re bigger than the club. Get him into the B team and get him out.
6.) 01 Aug 2024 09:11:02
This is a pity if true as I believe he would have done well this season. Hope he doesn't look back with major regret when his career is over. Now that would be tragic.
7.) 01 Aug 2024 09:13:17
Heard he's actually gotten on very well this preseason, time will tell At this point i'm not bothered if he plays for us or not.
8.) 01 Aug 2024 09:17:51
John, have you heard anything regarding Lowry or is it nonsense?
9.) 01 Aug 2024 09:33:27
The boy has been punted back to the B team so no surprised if he's away, PC said after the Birmingham game he wasn't happy with Lowry. I'm all for young players playing with swagger and such but he's done nothing and acting like he's the second coming of Messi. If his attitude stinks then cya pal.
10.) 01 Aug 2024 10:22:19
I did hear he had turned a corner but his attitude was apparently rotten towards others and training previously.
11.) 01 Aug 2024 11:10:10
I worked at Ibrox and would go into work with my chest out filled with pride. And am sure all of us would feel the same. This young lad is going to regret his chain of thought.
I feel what he has in his head ain't gona move. Shame cause there is a player there.
12.) 01 Aug 2024 11:26:46
He got injured at hearts that's why he got counted back.
13.) 01 Aug 2024 11:28:27
Manager thinks good talent but needs to be braver.
14.) 01 Aug 2024 11:32:58
This is completely incorrect. Lowry has turned the corner and is in fact working harder than ever. He has received a lot of specific coaching including sports psychology. Fingers crossed that the lad is going to progress.
15.) 01 Aug 2024 11:54:01
He is not good enough to play for rangers anyway, lacks fight and desire, can be tidy on the ball and tries things others won't but he isn't good enough.
16.) 01 Aug 2024 12:18:01
He's only ever a squad player. Not that that's a bad thing. Would like our fringe/ squad players to be more from academy rather than some of the journey men we've had recently. Hope he screws the nut if there are issues as he's got a huge chance this season the way we're going.
17.) 01 Aug 2024 12:19:43
You can’t beat a lynch mob reacting to a rumour. It’s like the Salem witch trials.
18.) 01 Aug 2024 12:41:38
Totally agree McMinn he's still relatively young untill we know facts then slaughtering one of our own youth is only going to be worse for him and us, sometimes it's like fans love to jump on the hate train of our players it's staggering.
19.) 01 Aug 2024 12:43:14
McMinn, that sounds like something a witch lover would say. Just keep your head down and go with the group. ?.
20.) 01 Aug 2024 12:43:23
McMinn aye mate but if you watched the Birmingham game it was clear he thinks he's billy big bollocks when he's very ordinary .
21.) 01 Aug 2024 12:52:24
Agree with the fork and others I’ve heard Lowry worked really hard but time will tell if he’s done enough.
22.) 01 aug 2024 13:05:46
where are you seeing this “ linch mob”, i see a few guys commenting on a rumour, on a rumour site
ridiculous thing to say, i'm still amazed that some people just don't understand what an online football forum is,
someone brings what they heard to the site, others pass comment or disagree
no witches or hunts go on here,
23.) 01 Aug 2024 13:50:56
Billy big balls is actually a goodfella, just misunderstood.
The witches r everywhere?
24.) 01 Aug 2024 15:21:12
I've seen "Goodfellas" and would not suggest the lad was in any way involved in organised crime . Though he does appear to have the haircut.
25.) 01 Aug 2024 16:01:11
Interesting, I was speaking to some of the coaching team last week and the were all very positive about him.
That's not to say that something may have happened over the last few days - but I'd be surprised.
26.) 01 Aug 2024 16:40:54
I hope it’s not true! But I find it crazy on here how quick people are to believe something negative like this but shoot down any attempt at positive rumours.
27.) 01 Aug 2024 16:45:32
If he`s getting punted due to him throwing his arms up in disgust at one of his team mates when a pass went astray then Dessers and Cortes must be away too, they were doing the same at each other when they took the wrong options. Did anybody see Lowrys pass for Nsios goal for the B team the other night, sheer class. We need players with a bit of flair or we will end up with a boring team, just like what we currently have.
I would have Lowry on the bench ready to take over from Lawrence when his legs collapse after 60 minutes especially against Hearts on Saturday, a chance for one of those revenge type stories. Guys like Lowry and Rice who can see a pass should be encouraged as we need them.
29 Jul 2024 14:14:36
Has anyone got an update on the stadium?
1.) 29 Jul 2024 15:43:45
This will be a nightmare situation going forward, there is no way we'll be back home for end Sept early October, I've heard plenty rumours but the more realistic timescale will be End Oct Early Nov, hope I'm wrong but just reporting what I've been told.
2.) 29 Jul 2024 15:45:59
Reckon we’re all waiting on an update from John Bennett which is due by the end of the month (tomorrow) according to his last statement.
3.) 29 Jul 2024 15:55:24
Apparently there’s drone footage on YouTube and no progress has been made although that story was in the Scottish Sun ??.
4.) 29 Jul 2024 16:36:03
I was for a stadium tour couple weeks ago and plenty work seemed to be getting done, I'm no construction worker so no idea what work was being done but plenty noise and movement going on.
5.) 29 Jul 2024 16:51:58
Passed it today, it's still there.
6.) 29 Jul 2024 16:57:15
Ignore the red tops.
26 Jul 2024 09:50:17
John, who has Goldson actually signed for?
1.) 26 Jul 2024 10:26:37
I imagine it’s Aris, was pictured in airport with a lot of baggage, pics were on X.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 11:01:41
Have to say Goldson looked a wee sole at the airport, I wish him all the best and thank him for his service to our beloved club and look forward to welcoming him back as a fan one day.
3.) 26 Jul 2024 11:07:30
Flying to Amsterdam, no direct flight to Cyprus apparently ?.
4.) 26 Jul 2024 11:12:11
Baxter, I think Cyprus, but anyone’s guess.
5.) 26 Jul 2024 11:23:57
I was led to believe West Brom, but his flight is to Amsterdam so clearly not West Brom.
11 Jul 2024 16:14:25
Has anyone heard we have bid over a million for Liam Millar?
1.) 11 Jul 2024 16:25:57
How many millions?
1 won't get him, even with a player thrown in.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 17:32:41
Canadian Left back?
3.) 11 Jul 2024 17:47:56
Left winger/ Attacking midfielder. Had a decent grounding at Fulham and Liverpool academies RabbiBurns. Don't know much else.

Why does Tav shout and wave his arms about to his team mares, every time he loses the ball or he's out of position?
1.) 02 Sep 2024 09:29:24
When the legs go it’s everyone else’s fault. He will know he’s lost a yard.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 10:40:19
Could it be that he is out of position as someone else has given the ball away easily. Tav is obviously told to get forward and support so when we lose the ball they transition quickly in the spaces we leave. so potentially not Tav But the person losing the ball.
01 Sep 2024 13:31:57
Clemment stated last week " we'll be working very hard ahead of the game against Celtic " So, what were you actually working on? Once again Rangers not good enough.
17 Aug 2024 08:06:35
I know a lot of supporters are not going back to Hampden. that's a worry.
1.) 17 Aug 2024 08:48:27
Baxter whys that a worry? There season tickets are paid for.
2.) 17 Aug 2024 08:49:21
Just when our team needs more support Baxter, very sad time just now, but we've got fans on here waiting and looking for anything to pull our club up for.
3.) 17 Aug 2024 08:58:56
Maybe support them Paul.
4.) 17 Aug 2024 09:07:05
Paul it’s not a good look having empty spaces everywhere. Cup games aren’t paid for either.
My star do the fans not have a right to their opinion whatever it may be?
5.) 17 Aug 2024 09:25:17
It is a worry as the atmosphere is poor and our home advantage is gone.
6.) 17 Aug 2024 09:32:11
Paul, because our team need the supporters behind them. We don't want fans desserting the team at this difficult time. that's why i said its a worry.
7.) 17 Aug 2024 09:45:12
Obviously they do storm, but I'll be taking my support, what our team needs at present time.
8.) 17 Aug 2024 09:45:26
Was speaking to a guy who goes regularly on a supporters bus and he said the same that the bus was no more than half full last couple of games, he thinks it’s the Hampden effect more than the team.
9.) 17 Aug 2024 09:52:38
We need to support the team as much as possible. It’s going to be a tough season that’s for sure. But the suffering will be worth it long term - ?
And Paul the club are offering 75% refunds on season ticket matches. That’s a very big concern!
I’m not sure if the numbers but think there’s a possibility of losing money on matches played at hampden with rental costs and loss of hospitality and catering. Does anyone know how many bums on seats we need to break even?
Imagine cup games would be even worse if we need to split the gates?
10.) 17 Aug 2024 10:04:25
Regardless of the levels of support at Hampden today, the team and all fans need some cheer.
Firstly I’ll take the win and then if we can add a sprinkling of style so much the better.
People are always welcome to offer dissent or vote with their feet, but think on this…. The players who are being regularly slaughtered here and on the terraces. still expected to give blood, guts and all for the team. I wonder how many ‘ordinary’ of us would perform well when constantly berated (regardless of salary! )
11.) 17 Aug 2024 10:14:11
Someone said 30k zikos can’t remember if it was on here or elsewhere I seen it but don’t know if it’s true or not.
12.) 17 Aug 2024 10:46:20
It will be a problem when it comes to the Europe league games tho, a reckon we could lose ten thousand off the attendance for the European package which would of been took up if at ibrox, big difference between ibrox baby than that dump??♂️.
13.) 17 Aug 2024 11:03:55
Wheres the 15k waiting on waiting list itching to get to games?
14.) 17 Aug 2024 12:08:52
See if we were signing new players and the team playing well hampden would be sold out.
15.) 17 Aug 2024 12:25:54
I have a few mates that don’t fancy going to Hampden but the biggest effect is the game live on tv.
16.) 17 Aug 2024 13:47:05
Well done to all the loyal fans who have gone to Hampden and backed the team but for those who just choose not to go are we changing the song to "Follow, Follow, we will follow Rangers, unless they go to Hampden we will follow on".
17.) 17 Aug 2024 17:20:13
Morale amongst the fans is as bad as I've seen in a long time.
28 Jul 2024 13:36:17
SirWalter, question for you. I know your a huge supporter of Tav. He has been a great buy for Rangers but i think he has ran his race here at Rangers and would prefer him to move on. what's your honest opinion of him now and do you believe he is still the same player. For rangers to improve i feel we should sell Tav now. Cheers.
1.) 28 Jul 2024 13:53:32
Good question baxterboy, was going to ask the same having watched pre season.
2.) 28 Jul 2024 14:20:02
Personally I still think he’s probably our best RB. Not seen enough of Sterling in that position to know whether he would be much better. Appreciate he’s faster and more powerful but not sure about his positioning and what he would add defensively and offensively. Definitely worth trying in more games this season and if he’s better then move Tav out the team.
My biggest issue with Tav is, you can see he is very low on confidence and I think this comes from PC not backing him. If that’s still the case then he can’t be captain. We need a captain that’s full of confidence and fight and some will say that’s never been Tav (which is fair) but he’s certainly got none of those attributes just now.
The problem we have is we don’t have any ready made captains. Maybe butland, but I prefer an outfield player. I suppose we need 5 or 6 captains on the pitch to win this league back.
3.) 28 Jul 2024 14:25:44
Guys i actually replied that same question regarding tav to Thestigno1 this morning, have a read please ?I'm fed up getting it constantly for what i've constantly said regarding tav and won't be getting involved in this topic again.
4.) 28 Jul 2024 14:49:18
There is no one who can honestly believe that Tav deserves to be in the team and he's certainly not the player to take us forward.
5.) 28 Jul 2024 15:08:26
Geez oh Walter. A very nippy reply. I obviously haven't read every post on here. Still, I've learned a lesson - never to ask you a question again!
6.) 28 Jul 2024 15:13:39
Know what, if i was Tav i'd be asking to leave. The guy gets so much abuse its horrible. Our fans have become the most toxic fans ever.
7.) 28 Jul 2024 15:21:10
??.
Fed up with topic you brought it up for the last few weeks.
8.) 28 Jul 2024 15:30:59
I honestly prefer dujon sterling playing in midfield and think that's his best position imo ? That's where he played in his youth career and he has the engine and attributes to play the defensive mid role without question for me ?.
9.) 28 Jul 2024 17:12:37
Yeah Walter very kindly replied to me this morning on my Tav question
Thanks Coops appreciated ?.
10.) 28 Jul 2024 17:36:00
He played as a striker as a youth coops good research.
11.) 28 Jul 2024 18:27:44
I would prefer Sterling in midfield.
12.) 28 Jul 2024 18:11:07
If we can replace his goal tally with a decent forward player then I'm happy to see him go. Sterling is a more than able replacement and would probably be better at defending but Tav guarantees goals and that is something we really need.
13 Jul 2024 17:22:44
Thats the worst performance I've seen from Butland, Kelly was superb. The quicker Goldson leaves the better. Barron done well.
30 Aug 2024 18:19:23
I heard Lowry was going down south.
30 Aug 2024 17:51:38
Dont blame them John.
29 Aug 2024 12:47:42
Plenty of time for new signings.
28 Aug 2024 16:58:27
Did Hannibal go there too?
28 Aug 2024 07:52:17
Bluedream, i posted a wee while ago Rangers put in a cheeky 1million offer for Lennon 3 or 4 weeks ago.
08 Sep 2024 08:49:58
Nope, it appears he's been caught with his pants down again. He's more interested in womanizing.
01 Sep 2024 18:00:36
Ultimately, whatever the reason, the performance and results fall on the manager. I wonder when the knives will be out.
01 Sep 2024 15:04:30
It's as if Rangers are to accept 2nd or 3rd place as "We are rebuilding". Which they are financially. Celtic are a well run club, we are not. Worrying times ahead!
01 Sep 2024 15:00:43
Tav is absolutely done mate. As for the rest of the team, well!
01 Sep 2024 07:57:22
Just hope Maeda doesn't rip the piss out of Tav again.
