I read on here that we were linked with Armstrong of Kilmarnock earlier hadn't seen him play but he looked lively is he Scottish? .
1.) 14 Jan 2023 23:28:27
Yes he’s Scottish, not an upgrade on anything we have PLUS going on what Beale says about only signing starters I can’t possibly imagine him coming in right now.
2.) 14 Jan 2023 23:34:15
Hadn't seen him play he caught the eye today was just asking cheers mate.
3.) 15 Jan 2023 01:36:30
First time poster long time reader. Armstrong looked good today better than we have at RW.
4.) 15 Jan 2023 09:43:28
Armstrong is better than Wright. He tore celtic apart yesterday.
5.) 15 jan 2023 11:31:47
armstrong is obviously a good prospect, when beale said he wanted to sign only starters, he wasn’t including youngsters who become available, it would be very remiss to ignore young talented players, a total ignorance of your job actually, , he was talking about first team players, for what it’s worth i’ve been told about armstrong before and it was good things.
6.) 15 Jan 2023 12:34:51
Armstrong is 25 so I don’t think he would be in the prospect or youngster list Tom mate.
7.) 15 jan 2023 15:24:07
apologies for that, i should have been talking about the boy from dundee utd, i got mixed up.
8.) 15 Jan 2023 20:27:47
Tom if you mean Rory McLeod I think that boat has sailed, we can’t afford him.
23 Sep 2022 20:33:32
Anyone heard anything about a major fallout with Glen Kamara or is it usual social media rubbish?
1.) 23 Sep 2022 21:35:32
Had his normal good game for his country again by looks of things anyway.
2.) 23 Sep 2022 22:22:15
Probably social media though Gio has never made him a regular fixture in his team since taking over.
3.) 23 Sep 2022 22:33:38
It would make sense tbh. The way he's been playing seems that there is something going on.
4.) 23 Sep 2022 22:50:02
Who actually feel out with him gio, Tav, John soutter? No gave us much to go on mate.
5.) 23 Sep 2022 22:50:44
Yes been doing rounds since deadline day.
6.) 24 Sep 2022 00:23:26
Who can blame him? Denied a deadline day move to sunny country, likely doubling his wages after his best pals have all left to sit on the bench and play 20% of games under rotten tactics. No wonder he wants out. I'm just surprised more don't.
7.) 24 Sep 2022 01:21:06
He's still a professional footballer &should do his job. No excuses.
8.) 24 Sep 2022 01:23:05
Apparently gio and backroom staff if it's true some on here might know more .
9.) 24 Sep 2022 08:56:05
Never fails when we’re not playing. Stories of fall outs, impending departures etc.
Life is too short for negatives IMO.
10.) 24 Sep 2022 11:37:18
from a good source Kamara not playing to the instructions from Gio, may be the reason for sitting out games.
11.) 24 Sep 2022 11:49:07
If we're getting any figure around 8 million in January I'd sell him.
12.) 24 Sep 2022 12:57:26
We will get nothing like 8m for Kamara, regardless if he has good few years left on contract. He doesn't want to be here, manager doesn't rate him. I'd take anything north of 2m for him in January.
13.) 24 Sep 2022 13:52:50
Yet another so called expert saying we should take anything north of 2m. Every other club talks up their players for more money but oh no not us . All we do is pan our players and then moan when we don't get high transfer fees.
14.) 24 Sep 2022 13:52:57
Mark his new deal included sell on clause of 10 million, offers from two French teams less than five million . kamara wanted rangers to sell him.
15.) 24 Sep 2022 14:07:24
Tjrfc. he's under contract. simples.
16.) 24 Sep 2022 14:10:39
Arfield salute. lol fact is you haven't got a clue what we will get for him if we sell him.
17.) 24 Sep 2022 14:40:33
John, I'd like some compromise found in January, clear the player doesn't want to be with us, we certainly couldn't except that kind of money from the french clubs in the summer, Arfield Salute 2 million for Kamara, psml ???.
18.) 24 Sep 2022 15:00:42
I agree French are not big spenders, u agree a fee say five million with someone then say Brighton come in, your in stuck.
End off day Kamara was happy to sign deal for a big pay rise.
19.) 24 Sep 2022 15:15:43
That is crazy talk Arfield! £2 million for Kamara? we'll get a lot more than that for him.
20.) 24 Sep 2022 15:21:46
If it is true about french teams and clause then I'm affraid it's Rangers who are in the wrong here. As I've said many times before he only signed a new deal so Rangers could get a fee. If we are now standing in the lads way after how he has conducted himself I don't blame home if now getting annoyed.
We should have done the right thing and sold.
21.) 24 Sep 2022 16:41:48
Has been absolutely honkin this season. Actually looks like a dundee player.
22.) 24 Sep 2022 16:56:03
What’s wrong with doing the right thing for the club. He was happy to sign the contract and other clubs didn’t meet the valuation.
23.) 24 Sep 2022 17:26:16
If we get only 2 million for Kamara i would be shocked. He is easy a 5million + player. Depends who wants him and contract status.
24.) 24 Sep 2022 17:40:55
Paul the majority of our players have been honking not just kamara.
25.) 24 Sep 2022 18:00:15
I rate Kamara - would be my preferred starting DCM.
So hope the rumours are exactly that, rumours.
26.) 24 Sep 2022 18:20:25
Gofor not if we agreed we would sell him for 10 million and he was happy to sign that deal.
27.) 24 Sep 2022 21:56:54
If true unless we get a bid acceptable and imo over 5m then he should get his head sorted and get on with it. Too many unhappy players if you believe all you read.
28.) 24 Sep 2022 22:03:50
John26 I get what your saying but when a player does the right thing by the club in signing as a thanks for reviving his career the club should do the right thing and sell and standing in a players way after that does not look good to any other player at the club and any future signings will now become more difficult to negotiate with.
29.) 24 Sep 2022 22:33:25
Gofor we upped his wages by 15k a week, 750000 a year. He and his agent agreed to the sell on price of 10 million.
30.) 24 Sep 2022 23:17:32
Gofor a contract works both ways, the club has to honour it so does the player.
31.) 25 Sep 2022 07:30:59
Can understand both sides tbh. I agree he extended contract so we'd get a fee but doesn't mean we should just accept anything. Think problem was clubs waiting till deadline day gave us no time to replace him going into important champions league games so wouldn't accept bids unless hit release clause or at least closer to it. However now it's passed he should clear his head (if there has been a problem) and make sure clubs still want him. Tell his agent to sort it earlier in the window rather than last minute. Would love the 10 but think anything north of 5 is still pretty good for him. Gio prefers Lundstram and Jack and still have Davis and Sands in his position and he's not as good when played further forward.
32.) 25 Sep 2022 11:01:57
Kaiser why accept less. Jack deal expires in May.
Lundstrum, we will receive offers in next two windows.
33.) 25 Sep 2022 18:46:38
I remember the west ham friendly and Dave Vos giving him a wee cuddle during the warm up and maybe a pep talk. to me the guy doesn't want to be here . best just to let him go and we move on to be fair.
34.) 25 Sep 2022 19:16:52
Hahaha aye John rangers are paying him 75k a week. I know your respected on here but that's just ludicrous.
35.) 25 Sep 2022 19:20:56
Sorry thought you said 75k a week there tired eyes Nightshift. Good faith should be followed more think what happens next time we want a Finnish player who's opinion of the club do they ask ?. I don't get how Davis gets branded a rangers man and a true gent for signing a new deal when it was white n green n co and could have walked for nothing but when kamara does it he's called for everything. Some of you need to learn the meaning of loyalty and good faith a lot of football runs on this. I can't argue to letter of law and contract but right is right.
36.) 25 Sep 2022 22:14:40
Lol, gofor we were paying him 8k a week, then upped to 23k.
37.) 26 Sep 2022 11:58:19
John26 because he could have walked and it would have cost us the same or more to replace in squad paying what is fair for his status is only right to try use that against him is simply poor form by you I'm affraid this is an international player we are talking about and I'm sure the expectation was he was only going to be at the club another 6 months when he signed it is still a fair wage for the lad compared to what he would get if walked.
38.) 26 Sep 2022 12:02:16
John26 how much does goldson, mo, Kent, Lawrence, jack, lundstrum make ?
Funny nobody hounding out Kent even though he's actually getting a run by the manager and getting a good wage refusing to sign a contract and playing guff to boot but your all picking on the guy who signed a deal as a thanks to us .
REALLY! Come on be fair.
39.) 26 Sep 2022 12:15:02
From what I gather he's on 21k a week not 23.
40.) 26 Sep 2022 12:21:37
Also people all slating him saying he's rubbish and not getting a game and at same time saying we should get 10 million lol it's hard enough to get 10 million for a guy bang in form and playing regular.
If it's true gio has fallen out with kamara then I'd start looking at gio as all descriptions of kamara to date he's a quiet guy and professional and not in his character as even Gerrard stated before about how good a character he is.
I'm a gio supporter but something not right at our club and we need to get to the bottom of it it not shift blame onto players.
41.) 27 Sep 2022 00:29:26
Kamarra signed new deal - yes money we spend on his wages could have been used in someone else log term
But we bought kamarra so cheap and he’s helped us get a very good European run on more than one occasion
Won a league tittle and a cup
Money spent on wages is not nearly as much as we could have had to spend as there could have been a transfer fee plus the same wage he’s getting so deal was good for us the club and player
Goi g forward we will recieve bids in excess of 8 million at leat and it’s still good transfer
There are many players to be worried about regardingtranfer fees and wages
Kamarra not one for them guys.
25 Jul 2022 21:32:17
Anyone else heard the rumour matondo is having a scan on a hamstring hope this isn't true .
1.) 25 Jul 2022 21:41:19
Sorry just seen the other posts parked up in my truck down south with a rotten signal .
2.) 25 Jul 2022 21:52:59
Nothing serious he'll be playing on Saturday.
3.) 25 Jul 2022 21:54:50
Must have been after the open day today because he was at it so it must be precautions if true.
4.) 25 jul 2022 23:04:23
did someone tell you its nothing serious, and that he plays on saturday?
17 Jul 2022 21:21:12
Another player that is being wrote off before he has even kicked a ball for us the same as Bassey and Lundstrum were . If he is not at the standard we require then why did Liverpool sign him and Celtic have been after him for years, I will reserve my judgement till he's been here a while .
Welcome to Rangers Ben Davies ??.
1.) 17 Jul 2022 23:49:35
Who's wrote him off as a player?
03 Jul 2022 13:46:15
Speaking to an Evertonian out here on holiday who's claiming Morelos is being talked of as a replacement for Richarlson.
1.) 03 Jul 2022 14:08:42
16 million and you can have him.
2.) 03 Jul 2022 14:19:24
Wouldn’t surprise me. Hopefully we get a decent fee and it’s reinvested because I’m concerned the way things are going just now but hopefully I’m just fretting for no reason.
3.) 03 Jul 2022 14:33:15
The minute it was announced the first thought that came into my head was this is where Morelos could end up going. Really hope it’s not going to happen and hope we get him signed up on extension but I could really see this having some merit. Calvin L has been rumoured to be moving on aswell.
4.) 03 Jul 2022 14:49:43
Interesting Bigal, Morelos very similar player to Richarlison in many respects, would fit well into Everton.
5.) 03 Jul 2022 15:04:21
Would be a great move him.
6.) 03 Jul 2022 16:14:05
Alfredo and richarlison are similar bankie? Not for me.
7.) 03 Jul 2022 16:20:00
Everton were interested in Morelos when Ancelotti was in charge however my understanding is that they are looking at a couple of players in the English Championship to fit with the style that Lampard wants to play. If they did go for Morelos they most likely wouldn't want to pay any more than £10m for him if that and after last season when they were almost relegated they certainly can't take risks.
8.) 03 Jul 2022 18:25:42
Would morelos be a risk though? He has destroyed some decent teams. On his game he wouldn't look out of place down south.
9.) 03 Jul 2022 18:39:27
Bankie, are you serious?
Richarluson has more mobilty, speed and skill than Alf, whose main attribute is strength and hold up skill.
Depends what Everton are looking for!
10.) 03 Jul 2022 20:06:40
Ferguson is a CM where as Lowry is primarily a attacking ( No 10 ) .
11.) 03 Jul 2022 20:30:48
Morelos partying somewhere its on his IG.
12.) 03 Jul 2022 20:55:06
The only similarity between Morelos and Richarlison is tgat they come from the same continent.
What a shocker of a comment that was Bankie.

Does anyone know if we drew lens in Europa League would cortes be available to play? .
1.) 15 Feb 2024 20:47:33
No because cortes ain't in our European sqaud.
2.) 15 Feb 2024 20:49:48
Big al 100% he would be available if he had been selected in our squad.
3.) 15 Feb 2024 20:55:38
He won’t be able to play because he isn’t in the europa squad.
4.) 15 Feb 2024 21:06:12
Is he in the Europa squad? I can’t remember if it was him or Diomande that got chosen with Silva and Ridvan.
5.) 15 Feb 2024 21:07:12
no big al as he isn't in the europa squad bud.
6.) 15 Feb 2024 21:09:20
I don’t know for sure but I think there are rules to allow players to play. I’m sure something happened with Chelsea and a keeper?
7.) 15 Feb 2024 21:18:25
Won't matter if we drew lens Big al, as oscar cortes hasn't been registered/ picked by clement to play in the europa league for us ?.
8.) 15 Feb 2024 21:30:46
No he’s not in the squad anyway.
9.) 15 Feb 2024 21:47:35
Not sure on the rules. also side note. fantastic away result for qarabag. Unexpected.
10.) 15 Feb 2024 22:12:26
On current evidence cortes should be in squad. And startiing going forward.
11.) 15 Feb 2024 23:17:59
Big al. Cortes ain't selected for europa league final team.
12.) 16 Feb 2024 14:22:37
Hi Irvblue99, I was on the committee of the Irvine and District RSC before moving up North to work in 1981, Harry Harvey from Dreghorn was the Chairman, and George Spence from Springside were two others, also my late friend Bert Ferguson, good days those. Our POTY Dinner Dances had a lot of very good players attending, Gordon Smith, John McDonald, Peter McLoy, Gregor Steven etc, do you travel with that Club. I'm 76 now, and don't get to many games at all, but still as keen as ever on the Rangers.
21 Jan 2023 21:42:50
Beginning to think there's more others than bluenoses on here,
going by most of the comments you would think we were on a 9 game losing streak,
The last 3 pitches have been honking but we're still digging out the wins,
Get the new faces in and I'm sure the performances will get better .
1.) 21 Jan 2023 22:25:26
100% ??.
2.) 21 Jan 2023 22:38:09
Good post Big Al, I totally agree.
3.) 21 Jan 2023 22:50:53
It will take us a few months to get up to speed on how Beale wants us playing and new players adapting I still reckon we will be playing some football at that time, that park didn't help today again but in Beale's five away games won everyone maybe not nice in some but won I'll take that.
4.) 21 Jan 2023 23:27:30
So you're a tim (I'll use that term instead of the derogatory rhyming slang term you used) if you dare criticise anything about the team?! Jog on! ??.
5.) 22 Jan 2023 00:43:58
10 unbeaten with a team that couldn't string 2 passes together a few weeks ago we're slowly starting to look like a team again, I'll choose to be positive and support my team and manager ? .
Jog on Benjamin.
6.) 22 Jan 2023 08:50:32
??? So anyone who dares criticise any of the players, style of play, game management etc do not support the team or manager? Well, that's
ridiculous! ?♂️.
7.) 22 Jan 2023 11:58:00
I'm talking about the people that only post critical where did I say everyone that criticises but your obviously a half glass full kind of guy who likes to jump on a positive post .
8.) 22 Jan 2023 12:19:30
I agree big Al …. Nothing can be achieved without positivity and belief
As I have always said though that’s not the west of Scotland buckfast and chip eating mentality unfortunately.
9.) 22 Jan 2023 12:36:41
Big al! You're post make absolutely no sense, my man?! So you only meant "people who only post critical", but not those who criticise?! Hmmmm! Is that not a bit of a contradiction? ??
Also mate, I don't want to come across all pedantic here, but I think you meant a glass half empty kinda guy when you were labelling me. Just saying! ??.
10.) 22 Jan 2023 12:44:48
Big al u r correct, very many half fluff glasses on here
Lundstrum plays for the team with cracked ribs, but is an empty jersey, kamara plays with a bad ankle is not interested.
11.) 22 Jan 2023 13:10:37
Using a bigoted term when criticising other posters, classy ?.
{Ed001's Note - what term is that?}
12.) 22 Jan 2023 13:36:13
He used the term "shettleston harriers" Ed001 when having a go at fellow Rangers fans. It's a well-known rhyming slang term for the derogatory term persons.
Coming from a mixed family on my side, and with my wife being Catholic, this term is a no no unless you are a knuckle dragging bigot.
Apologies mate, and it's the last I'll say on it.
{Ed001's Note - apologies for that, I had not heard that one before.}
13.) 22 Jan 2023 13:44:57
Nothing to apologise for Ed001 mate, you're not responsible for such infantile behaviour by a so called grownup when he uses a term you've never heard of before.
{Ed001's Note - it is sad but the world does seem to be going backwards in that respect.}
14.) 22 Jan 2023 13:52:41
Correct Ed001. Scary stuff! ?.
15.) 22 Jan 2023 14:35:10
Think the manager is doing a great job just wish the board would get their fingers out regarding transfers we seem to let things drag on getting to hate these transfer windows.
21 Jan 2023 18:20:05
Malik Tillman's football brain is incredible for a 20 year old we've got to pay the money .
1.) 21 Jan 2023 19:39:57
Incredible! Some folk think he’s too lazy and don’t want him ? baffling to me he’s top notch.
19 Jan 2023 20:04:42
Not a rumour but Neil etheridge the Birmingham keeper is one I've always liked couple of clubs sniffing around him, he's also got premier League experience.
18 Jan 2023 16:42:34
Does anyone know if the ticket office still has a phone number or is it all done by emails now?
1.) 18 Jan 2023 17:48:37
Most emails now pal but they are quick an getting bk to you to sort out the problem in my opinion.
2.) 18 Jan 2023 18:01:23
Thanks will.
21 Jan 2023 11:43:00
Doesn't help either when he's seeing loan players being brought on instead of him i. e Sands can see the same thing happening with Lowry.
21 Jan 2023 09:29:17
I'm a 100% pretty sure they would do a medical before signing pre contract to make sure there is nothing worrying i. e like what's happened with obaforh mate .
19 Jan 2023 13:24:24
Tell Kenny to keep info coming David ?.
14 Jan 2023 23:34:15
Hadn't seen him play he caught the eye today was just asking cheers mate.

A fully fit Tav ?.
