Looks like Matondo is staying from what Clement has said ‘only players not in today’s squad are likely to leave’, so Davies, Hagi and Cantwell hopefully. If Matondo can keep today’s form up he might actually turn out to be useful!
1.) 24 Aug 2024 19:18:40
Also said there will be more players coming in than going out.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 19:54:18
Yip sayed a bid came in for dessers but it was not enough and dessers is improving.
3.) 24 Aug 2024 20:10:04
He also said few signings in b4 Saturday.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 20:16:17
Please stop it. He has to be sold. Has done next to nothing for 2 years now and will never be the answer over the course of the season and unless Dessers is playing as our back up striker which would make us strong he won’t be the answer over the course of the season as well as the first choice striker in the lineup.
5.) 24 Aug 2024 20:21:27
Been waiting 2 years for him to be useful wouldn't hold your breath mate.
6.) 24 Aug 2024 20:33:57
Quick note that ridvan wasn't in today's squad. While I get he's had an injury, I think there's a decent chaNce he goes back to Turkey given we've been linked to LBs. It would be good to get someone that can play every match there.
7.) 24 Aug 2024 21:02:21
Confidence with Matondo the problem if he's given a run he will be an asset, he's got to trust his pace and let rip, with the right service it would be helpful just give him something to chase no full back in this league will catch him they will be begging to get hooked.
8.) 24 Aug 2024 21:08:14
He scored 22 goals last year and has done well this year. Why does he need to be sold?
9.) 24 Aug 2024 21:14:55
Agree Jimbo if can get good feedback for ridvan let's replace him we need a squad who are contributing.
10.) 24 Aug 2024 21:46:13
Rick how many goals does he need to score to be the answer?
11.) 24 Aug 2024 21:51:17
If Dessers scored a hat trick at the piggery Rick would still be on here saying he's rubbish. Give it a rest man the guys sitting on 5 goals before August has ended. Shankland and Furuhashi not even scored a goal between them yet Dessers has 5 in 6 games but still getting criticism from you. You want to be right more than you want Rangers to win. Sad man.
12.) 24 Aug 2024 22:07:18
2 goals 2 assists and still some can’t fine him credit ??♂️ the fans are one of the biggest issues at our club at the minute. Sad to say!
13.) 24 Aug 2024 23:23:17
Shankland hasn't even hit the target yet.
14.) 24 Aug 2024 23:42:04
If dessers plays the way he had the last half of the season and the start of this one I think 25 league goals is not to far off what he will finish with.
15.) 25 Aug 2024 02:47:14
3 new signings planned, all going to be names that haven't been mentioned by media. CB, CM, Winger
CB will definetly come in, talks will ramp up as soon as Davies leaves for Birmingham (it's about 90% done) .
The other ones depend on outgoings, club confident of shifting Hagi, and or, Cantwell though.
16.) 25 Aug 2024 08:39:44
Matondo has one good game in forever and now folk think he's the second coming of Laudrup, get a grip of yourselves. He's been jimmy white for ages and will continue to be below average at best. PC will not come out and say oh aye that wee Matondo guy that played a blinder is somebody we actively want rid of.

I have never been one for conspiracy theories and I’m still not, so will stress I’m not suggesting a conspiracy or bias here, rather how much some well pushed narratives can have an influence. Last season there was much talk by opposition fans, pundits, the media and even our fans about how many penalties we were awarded (the old ‘penalty to Rangers’ meme was very popular) . So how many did we get? 15. How many did Celtic get…. 14. Yet NO ONE was saying they get too many or pushing that narrative. We also only conceded 3 last season (2 of which I believe were later confirmed to be wrong) . Looking at this season (and I know overall we have performed poorly in general which will of had an effect), we have been awarded ZERO penalties so far and conceded 4 (with still half a season to go) . As I say I’m not suggesting some massive conspiracy/ bias / referees are cheating, more that subconsciously do we think that last years ‘Penalty to Rangers’ campaign by just about everyone outwith our club has had the desired effect?
1.) 07 Jan 2025 16:18:16
Of course it has ger, that lot are masters at pushing those types of narrative for gain mate.
2.) 07 Jan 2025 16:41:03
What annoys me about the whole narrative on this is that referees are not and cannot be biased.
They would be a unique subspecies of humanity if they were not. We are all biased, it's how we like and dislike the things we do.
The question should be can they correct for that bias when making decisions.
I think they can but a level of self awareness is needed, something entirely missing in the cup final.
3.) 07 Jan 2025 17:35:04
or could it be the change in the handball interpretation and/ or the fact our wingers don't attack the box in the way that Sima did. Same with conceding the opposition need to get into our box.
4.) 07 Jan 2025 17:48:35
The refs don’t want to deal with the backlash from the mhedia and either consciously or subconsciously make bias decisions, I think it’s a simple as that.
5.) 07 Jan 2025 19:12:29
And we`ve had at least two " we got it wrong apologies" on Mondays for penalties that we should have had outside of the league cup final, and the penalty on Sunday against us that only referees and those with a certain bias thought was a penalty.
Also noticed that over the last few days a narrative that Jefte should have been sent off for his "elbow" on Kuhn has started to appear when it was clearly an accident and not an elbow anyway. Johnstons actual elbow on Hagi completely being ignored.
There is a bias in the media and it is clearly influencing the officials running or should I say ruining our game.
19 Dec 2024 09:49:09
Almost 100% sure Igamane will not be going anywhere for a while. All the stories regarding English teams being. After him originated from 1 Moroccan outlet, which was more than likely ‘bigging up’ one of their countrymen. I’m sure there are teams starting to keep an eye on him (and for future sell on value I hope so), but he’s no where near ready to perform regularly in the EPL (to be honest he looked a bit ‘raw’ again in the cup final) . Don’t think any teams will be seriously considering him just yet, but keep up the trajectory he’s heading in and maybe by the summer we might have a battle to keep hold of him (although I reckon more likely the next summer) . He signed a 5 year deal though so we have time to develop and improve him further and hopefully increase his value before any bids come in that we just can’t refuse.
1.) 19 Dec 2024 10:32:05
Develop him for another year then sell him on.
2.) 19 Dec 2024 10:52:21
Correct Paul.
3.) 19 Dec 2024 11:03:01
story in Record quotes Moroccan website in French which only claims 4 EPL sides keeping an eye but no source or anything. Everton listed as interested because they aren't sure that Calvert Lewin will be staying. nothing about a bid or even really interest. this is the article that every media site is basing their stories on.
4.) 19 Dec 2024 12:49:55
He looks a great prospect so of course they will keep tabs. Leon King had multiple EPL clubs tracking him until he had a poor run of games - Now they don't bother. This is the nature of things.
5.) 19 Dec 2024 12:57:40
We're quids in with Igamane but hopefully he's still our player next season.
6.) 19 Dec 2024 13:05:08
Money talks if the right offer comes in then he’s off . Needs must .
7.) 19 Dec 2024 13:43:09
Gvb11- Correct.
8.) 19 Dec 2024 17:42:26
Gers
Don't know where came from but if right offer comes in he's off. Sad but true. We're less selling club than tic but 20 million nice sum for PC.
9.) 19 Dec 2024 18:52:35
If we bought him for £2m and sell him for £20m a year later, and sell Raskin too, that makes our finances look an awful lot better. There will be other players and the prospect of European football every year will make Rangers a top destination for them.
10.) 19 Dec 2024 19:21:41
Once the plan starts to work and we start selling for a profit, new investment will follow. We are depending entirely upon Clement and Koppen. Plenty of managers can buy success, but we are asking these two to be successful and profitable too.
13 Dec 2024 09:50:32
We are definitely very much on the right tracks as a team although I hope our fans don’t get carried away (a lot seem to get carried away both ways, either we are world beaters or total trash and everyone needs sacked) . Clement has said all along this is a project and will need time. I think we need at least two more transfer windows just to get the squad into the kind of shape he really wants but clearly the team is starting to click and understand what their roles are and the way they are to play. As for Igamane, what a find he is. Personally I feel that once everyone is available his best position is definitely coming in off the left rather than out and out central striker. He may develop further but right now he lacks a bit in hold up play and killer instinct in the box. But my word what talent he has. If you look at most of his goals (Ross County, two against Nice and even last night) they tend to come from him moving in from a deeper position on the left. Him, Danilo and Cerny with Hagi supporting will make a strong front line.
1.) 13 Dec 2024 10:35:00
Gers78 - just wait until you see what Cortes can bring to the front line!
2.) 13 Dec 2024 11:27:06
I really hope so, he certainly looked good in his first few games. Just hope he can stay fit and have a prolonged run in the team/ squad. He seems more of a winger where as Iganame a ‘forward’ so good to have option for that left side.
09 Dec 2024 08:25:33
You can tell that Clement must be doing something right… the better the results he’s starting to get, the more the daily rags start talking about him getting the sack?. They really don’t hide their colours well?.
1.) 09 Dec 2024 08:48:10
Are we talking about Quiff jackson from the record, that guy is an absolute muppet, not worth reading anything says.
2.) 09 Dec 2024 09:18:53
I know, it’s always fun seeing him clearly getting annoyed, not just him though, all the ‘pundits’ seem to be at it.
3.) 09 Dec 2024 11:45:22
I will say as, an observation . Despite all the noise and flak PC has remained focused on making the team better.
4.) 09 Dec 2024 14:39:41
We are closer to the dons, but not them. We’ve had a couple of good results. Iimprovement would
Be two more wins then I’d be more relaxed about PC till the end of the season.
5.) 09 Dec 2024 16:07:11
I am sure PC can manage more than 2 more wins, i would hope so or there will be more than you wishing him gone.
6.) 09 Dec 2024 16:22:18
A victory on Saturday will shake the other mob a lot IMO, their defence doesn't look great.
7.) 09 Dec 2024 16:37:29
I would say PC must be doing something right as there are less moans on here at the moment. until Sunday.?
8.) 09 Dec 2024 18:34:29
It’s Sunday irvger.
9.) 09 Dec 2024 19:02:55
Something looks better granted, but look who we've played last 3 league games? Let's not get get carried away. wins grow confidence so going in the right direction.
10.) 09 Dec 2024 23:04:12
Ha, Ha, another bloomer from this old guy, oh well, as long as we win.
24 Nov 2024 09:04:17
People suggesting that Koppen could be sacked when Patrick Stewart comes in. Do you not think that he may of been consulted on that decision? Seems fairly convenient that Koppen was announced last week and know it seems Stewart is to be confirmed as CEO. My guess is the decision on Stewart will of been made internally for a while and therefore he will of been consulted on any decisions regarding internal appointments.
1.) 24 Nov 2024 10:07:39
I said this last night Gers, Unlikely the new appointments are not aware of this.
2.) 24 Nov 2024 13:00:51
Gers word at game yesterday kloppen was approved by new apps
I totally agree rosevale,
Again we keep the main winners under wraps.
08 Jan 2025 13:49:35
Why on earth are you reading anything by that person? You do realise he just needs to write any old tosh to get clicks as that’s his job? He has absolutely zero inside info on the Rangers boards thinking at all.
Plus he’s been pushing to have Clement sacked for months now as all it will do is set us back further in our rebuild / restructuring process, make us have to spend even more money we don’t have and ultimately just help Celtic in the long run. He’s not dumb though, he knows all of this, he’s just trying to stoke up the element of our support who constantly scream for folk to be sacked.
08 Jan 2025 08:16:01
Rick, so say we fire Clement, who exactly are we going to get to replace him when during the interview process we tell them…. 1) There is no money to spend on new players. 2) You have to somehow focus on getting rid of a number of way over paid players who offer nothing, are still under contract for a while and no one wants as we’re paying them far too much. 3) You have to build a player trading model almost from scratch as the only money you’ll have to spend will come when you start selling our players for big money. 4) Despite all of this you need to be immediately successful and win the league or all the fans will turn against you, oh and if not we’ll sack you within around a year like we have done the last 3 managers. He might not be perfect but at least he’s been willing to stick around and work to try to improve the clubs overall situation long term despite the issues noted above and despite all the abuse from both the media and our own fans.
19 Dec 2024 13:20:14
Can’t believe for a second that we are actually after this Joe Gelhardt. No idea how good he is, but all reports are talking about it being a loan only? Unless it’s a loan with option to buy at a very reasonable price then what on earth would be the point? Bring in a player for half a season that would need time to settle and get up to speed as he’s hardly played in a year, only to leave by May? Only way we bring in young players to develop is if they will definitely be ours.
09 Dec 2024 16:44:53
This is how easily folk are influenced by press non stories. No one was worried about or even thinking about Souttar signing a new contract. It then gets mentioned in a press conference, confirmed it’s just an on going thing, and suddenly folk are talking about getting him sold on. It’s not even a story at this time.
18 Nov 2024 14:06:33
Stuart, do you really think it’ll make a difference? Unfortunately folk need to realise that right now they just have a much better team and set of players, which is hardly surprising when you compare the difference in finances. Not saying that in a one off game we may beat them, but fear we still have a long and painful road ahead before we close the gap.
13 Jan 2025 08:58:27
Sorry to hear that White horse, speedy recovery ?.
07 Jan 2025 11:44:09
Do you think Mo Johnstone was a Rangers fan alwaysager? ?.
07 Jan 2025 10:58:38
Personally I’m a bit torn regarding Porteous. As a player I feel he has certainly developed over the last 2 years or so. He seems to have calmed down a bit on the pitch, not as rash as he was in his younger days at Hibs (challenge on Gundogan aside) and overall I have been impressed by his performances for Scotland. Other pluses, he is Scottish and developed in Scotland so would help in terms of Euro squad, he knows how to head a ball (something we certainly seem to lack at both ends of the pitch and has scored 7 goals in around his last 70 games (1 in 10 as a CB ain’t bad and certainly something we are missing) . Yes he is sometimes over aggressive and a hot head but certainly seems to have improved on that side of his game since going to Watford.
In regards to him as a person… yes there are definitely a number of negatives, was very much a Ned when younger, did some very stupid and shameful things off the pitch, certainly put in some shocking challenges against some of our players.
However, he won’t be the only questionable player we have signed. Personally I detested (and still do) Ian Black, and also really didn’t like El Hadj Diouf as a person either. Also Tom Lawrence has done questionable things in the past too. So as I say, a bit torn ?.
06 Jan 2025 22:02:19
Igamane was signed on a 5 year deal, so unless we receive a truely crazy offer in the summer that we just can’t turn down I’d hope to keep him for another season, hopefully see him continue to improve his overall game and then cash in end of next season when he’d still have 3 years in his contract. End of the day though it all depends on what kinds of offers we may receive.
06 Jan 2025 15:32:09
Seems to be confusion as to whether Propper’s booking took him over the threshold or not, but even if it did it would be for the St Johnstone game, not Dundee.
