New CEO announcement is imminent. Some concerns with the rumour surrounding Gillespie from St Mirren who has never held a paid role in football. His role as a charity CEO has recently come under scrutiny and there are rumours of financial irregularities which may not necessarily relate to his role of course.
Our Commercial Director, Karim Varani has told John Bennett he will be leaving.
Park Junior remains a real concern and a thorn in the side of the current board.
Evening times reporting the name of an English CEO currently working in Germany but he is seemingly pushing his own name into the media.
All off the pitch stuff, but some interesting things to watch.
1.) 06 Sep 2024 21:44:54
The financial director leaving should we read much into that?
2.) 06 Sep 2024 21:47:05
Dodgy statement u r making re Gillespie
Park junior voted for by all the board members last five seasons.
3.) 06 Sep 2024 21:57:02
Sounds like an absolute disaster. So I beleive it 100%.
4.) 06 Sep 2024 22:23:43
Not saying it’s down to Gillespie John or that any irregularities have occurred however charity regulator looking into Kibble though. Nothing dodgy about that.
5.) 06 Sep 2024 22:28:08
Very easy to find media reporting which I hadn’t seen until today.
Park Junior is massively unpopular. No one I know close to the Board have a positive word to say about him.
6.) 06 Sep 2024 23:04:49
Totally agree Ibrox4Me, graeme park is an absolute a**e piece of a man ?He lives of his DADDY'S reputation and thinks he can't be touched ?I've also heard he's a big problem in there and needs ousted somehow ?.
7.) 07 Sep 2024 01:48:37
SWS, I take it you know Graeme Park well enough to have come to the conclusion that he is an a**e piece of a man? Or maybe not?
8.) 07 Sep 2024 01:51:17
I think it’s Adrian Bevington, might be wrong, that is putting his name out there in a read between the lines way that he would take the job.
9.) 07 Sep 2024 08:06:52
Trust me hubby i know a gentleman who used to work at ibrox who knows graeme park very well my friend ?.
10.) 07 Sep 2024 08:38:12
I posted earlier on an old thread that I had heard that the Easdale's were interested again, (although I doubt that their interest ever disappeared) . Rumour of a £40m+ acquisition. Rumours of a consortium definitely not going away and gaining momentum.
Also heard that current Rangers shareholders interested in increasing their shareholding and providing further investment.
This could solve the GP problem instantly!
11.) 07 Sep 2024 10:09:58
On the Easdales, what happened with the 20 million shares that were allegedly returned to them In June/ July 23, anyone know.
12.) 07 Sep 2024 10:10:25
Berkshire, you think that could happen? Not sure about the Easdales due to previous links with the Fat Man. Think we need rid of Park and King tbh. I actually think we need a strong majority share like they have. They might not like him but look at the position they’re in and how they’re managed.
13.) 07 Sep 2024 10:17:14
OWS, where does it say the Finance Director is leaving? the poster says Varani the Commercial Director is leaving, not the same thing . Guy replaced Bisgrove in that role and may well be one of his guys. People move on, the important thing is getting his replacement right. The CEO one is interesting, if we pick someone like Gillespie to me it points us in a direction that is more focused on domestic issues whereas someone like Bevington would show an ambition to be not just a voice in Scotland but abroad as well. Don`t know the people involved but I know which type of CEO I would pick.
14.) 07 Sep 2024 10:23:00
An 'on the buses' consortium? "I 'ate you Butler " plus we could do more business with Colombia.
15.) 07 Sep 2024 10:24:36
More talk again of an American takeover.
16.) 07 Sep 2024 11:20:01
Ibrox4Me, I'm not sure about the Easdales but only because I don't know much about them other than what I see in the Media but there is no denying that they have the wealth and their net worth is going significantly by the year to push them up the UK Rich List. I am also told that they remain interested in taking a substantial shareholding in Rangers, and that they would be interested in being part of a wider consortium. Investment of £40m+ was mentioned.
Other names from the Scottish whisky industry have previously been mentioned but John would know better than me if that interest is still current.
I keep being told that existing shareholders, (not necessarily part of the current Board), are keen to increase their holding in the Club. That could include Gibson, again John has mentioned him previously and I would be interested in Halstead, especially if there was interest from Clearlake.
17.) 07 Sep 2024 12:07:39
Good intel Berkshire. The conversation I had suggested that Letham doesn’t want to be Chairman but that doesn’t preclude any consortium investing. Think we need a significant change in direction and then a long period of stability.
18.) 07 Sep 2024 12:16:25
SWS, so you feel that because of second or third hand opinions that means it's ok to call someone an a**e piece. Says more about you than your 'pal' says about Park.
19.) 07 Sep 2024 13:45:40
Park jnr just another one who has achieved nothing and has things handed to him with very little effort from himself .
20.) 07 Sep 2024 14:26:53
The Easdales could get Morton in to Europe if they wanted to.
21.) 07 Sep 2024 14:46:34
With a chance that Chelsea consortium starting to crumble and the main man in charge of Chelsea potentially being bought out he is being linked with a takeover of Rangers.
22.) 07 Sep 2024 14:55:46
The old rascals are gangsters rumor again they are billionaires.
23.) 07 Sep 2024 15:19:00
Less talk more take.
24.) 07 Sep 2024 18:20:11
Wsl my mistake on commercial director as for a ceo concentrating on domestic success as opposed to more wider personally we must get our house in order and get back to winning in scotland because only then will we be of int further afield imo.
25.) 08 Sep 2024 09:14:27
So nobody knows.
26.) 08 Sep 2024 14:25:13
Id have the easdales as owners in a heartbeat. They're self made billionaires and support the club. If they were majority shareholders it would be massive compared to their previous time as minority shareholders. do we see many other billionaires wanting to buy in and keep the identity. They are worth crazy money bring them in.
27.) 08 Sep 2024 21:03:54
Livi do you forget they were involved with the fat man? Don’t want them anywhere near ibrox.
02 Aug 2024 19:08:30
Igamane not injured as confirmed a week or so ago. Just building up fitness. Massive step up for him so needs to be robust enough and ready to go.
1.) 02 Aug 2024 19:59:50
Guys on here saying definitely injured yesterday aswell, definitely isn't.
2.) 02 Aug 2024 20:40:51
Let’s allow clement to manage players.
3.) 02 Aug 2024 21:32:50
Bad luck possibly when players not available who are constantly injured . but don't understand professional players who are not fit enough!?!?!? that's shocking tbh.
4.) 02 Aug 2024 21:44:08
Absolutely Boy Blue. Scaremongering or dark side invasion, or both. Gaffer says he’s fine. We don’t injured players after a medical anymore.
5.) 02 Aug 2024 22:02:28
He’s not injured but not fit enough to train with the group, it does sound a bit contradicting tbh. He’s a young guy, he should be ready for a pre season. The fact he’s not even training with the squad tells me he’s months away other than weeks. Be lucky to see this guy till after September internationals.
6.) 02 Aug 2024 22:18:45
Fans moaning about the number of injuries we have had over the last few seasons, now also moaning when the club take the relevant precautions to integrate new players.
Can't win sometimes.
7.) 02 Aug 2024 22:43:48
GMS you need to watch PC interview it’s nothing to do with fitness the way you are suggesting.
8.) 03 Aug 2024 00:16:48
Clement stated not long after signing Igamane, he would work with him
to help him adjust to European football and that would take a bit of time, as prior to Igamane signing for us he has only played in the Moroccan league, yet still managed to be ranked in the top 10 under 23 centre forwards in the world, no doubt we will see the young lad in the first team soon enough, worth the wait i reckon as he offers a different style of attack from Dessers and Danilo.
9.) 03 Aug 2024 09:14:02
Did he not miss second part of his teams season through injury so it would make sense to say he is not injured but needs to build his fitness just like any player would after an injury layoff
The information was there for all to see don't know why people creating an issue where there is none.
10.) 03 Aug 2024 09:43:28
It s been reported a few times he was injured 4 or 5 weeks ago but we signed him anyway. Returning from injury sounds about right if he's training on his own.
11.) 03 Aug 2024 10:11:29
Correct ehl but that's the what happens when you have fans that know hee haw about football.
12.) 04 Aug 2024 10:13:26
Morocco to Glasgow what could possibly be the problem, they are the same in the mind of a nutter he probably went to Saltcoats on his holidays .
19 Jul 2024 23:16:26
Igamane isn't injured. Tav will go for 3.5m perhaps including add ons but could be a straight fee. That bit is unclear. Butland going nowhere. 4-5 deals in are lined up based on departures. Club are confident at least 4 leaving but potentially up to 8. Tav, Goldson, Wright, Lammers, Dessers, Lawrence, Davies, Hagi. There is interest in Miller at Motherwell.
I have no reason to doubt any of this. The key bit is the departures as the squad is obviously too loaded. CEO will be announced as the season starts, notice being worked and confidentiality agreement in place. Shoot me/ don't shoot me, matters not. Source is close to the action.
1.) 20 Jul 2024 00:46:54
Great post.

Cracking post mate. Right or wrong you won't get sh** off me. Respect is due.
5.) 20 Jul 2024 06:58:02
Good info.
6.) 20 Jul 2024 07:40:50
Exciting read will see what happens hope all true would be great fee for tav and the players on the leaving list do need to go unless Dessers stays if no other ST signed - so no Cantwell then - I personally like Cantwell anyway and think he is a quality player - not liking Boyd paper comments about PC but hope he is miles off the mark ??????.
7.) 20 Jul 2024 07:55:05
Good info as always ibrox. Add cantwell to that list along with dowell and yefeko.
8.) 20 Jul 2024 08:13:41
Yefeko? Really John, I'd have thought he was a keeper?.
9.) 20 Jul 2024 09:16:46
No he's a centre back fork ??.
10.) 20 Jul 2024 10:04:02
Ibrox, good post.
11.) 20 Jul 2024 10:04:10
Yfecko looked good in 1 pre season game last year so beale gave him a chance in another couple and the boy cost 4 goals in 2 games and barely had a sniff since.
I don't see him being good enough.
12.) 20 Jul 2024 10:59:14
Good post mate let’s hope we get some movement both ways.

The most optimistic post anyone has posted in weeks, and I`m glad Cantwell wasn`t on your list, best forward player we have got.

16.) 20 Jul 2024 22:15:41
As long as there's fajitas and nachos??.
21 Jun 2024 09:46:19
Straight from the horses mouth, the person (s) in charge of procurement were advised of likely challenges with far east supplies. Took the decision anyway and it's gone wrong. The club have acted swiftly and dispensed with the responsible person. I know it's a f**k up but by taking action sharply, that's demonstrating far more decisive leadership. But some fans will always blame the board.
Moving away from this, great to see Barron incoming. Hopefully Kabadiyi soon and Igamane. Looking forward to a few sales to find the experienced incomings. Going to be a busy few weeks with the players returning on Monday. Igamane is likely to be headed to Paris for the Olympics so we'll not see him straight away.
1.) 21 Jun 2024 11:54:56
Dont think we will see any 'experience ' coming in till 1. The Euros finish and 2 English teams complete their money merry go round, probs about August, which will be too late for CL qualifying imo.
2.) 21 Jun 2024 12:30:54
The board have to do what's right for the club. If it worked out cheaper to get imported materials then that was the correct thing to do but, only as long as the quality of those materials met the same standards as buying materials closer to home.
3.) 21 Jun 2024 13:04:16
We want to see Ibrox improved and updated and that takes time which is at a premium with the ever shortening close season. There are always delays in building projects, just look how much over time Liverpools new stand was last season. If the Project Manager ignored advice and it has backfired and he as been sacked, that's not the boards fault. Prefer to play at Hampden from the fans point of view . Could we not play ay Ibrox with the Copland shut down? We`ve done it before.
4.) 21 Jun 2024 13:17:38
Ibrox 4me, I've heard different from inside ibrox too, the person who has been canned is only in the door, he's a scapegoat, however did your source mention the change of plans (concerning size of reconstruction) that put spanner in the works, we're being lied to by an incompetent board, also bisgrove was all over this.
5.) 21 Jun 2024 13:19:28
Wslgers4ever the pitch is unplayable, as its been ripped.
6.) 21 Jun 2024 13:36:46
Loyalist, the correct person was let go as I understand it. Bisgriove was indeed heavily involved. Strong advice was given and concerns noted over time delay risks but the project manager went with the cheaper (quality was comparable) option. We could have bought British/ Scottish but 2-3 the cost. Can’t see this being the Board’s fault and I don’t defend anyone. It’s a f**k up, but anyone involved in construction will know the risks. Nothing about change of plans but I understand the steel construction was the wrong way round. Something about hooks to hold it in place being back to front? The technical piece is above my understanding. Source is pretty sound and I’ve no reason to doubt him, everything he’s shared which isn’t much, has been bang on to date.
7.) 21 Jun 2024 13:52:44
At the end of the day the company should have had materials ordered and here in advance.
8.) 21 Jun 2024 14:57:44
Contract would have stipulated when the completion date would be required.
Main Work Contractor by accepting the contract will then be liable for any delay costs.
Especially if they have gambled by going for the cheaper option but possible increased lead times.
In my current role, I bring in material all the time from the EU and since Brexit lead times have increased.
9.) 21 Jun 2024 15:01:30
Loyalist so how many changes did rangers make to th plannyapplication. I’m told 0.
10.) 21 Jun 2024 15:24:25
My current roll is usually Mcghees?? anno sorry.
11.) 21 Jun 2024 17:42:13
Don't know if it's true or not but got told a beam was put in the wrong way and this is what the hold up is probably pish but you never know??????.
12.) 21 Jun 2024 18:09:00
John27 I'm told when bisgrove was off a while back big meeting with contractors, telling everyone involved news plans, simple as that, due to funding (I'm informed), news plans meant less seats, however decision taken to save money, then next time he's off on holiday (Bisgrove) he's gone, then 2 days ago he's in clearing his stuff out then announced 2pm yesterday, this needs our board to come clean and treat supporters with respect and not just a cash cow.
13.) 21 Jun 2024 18:09:19
Ps John 27 love your info.
14.) 21 Jun 2024 18:26:52
John27,to the planning application, I can't answer that at moment, I would have to enquire that detail.
15.) 21 Jun 2024 22:02:55
I’ve spoke to someone who would know, no changes to our application at this stage loyalist.
16.) 22 Jun 2024 07:37:43
The Main Contractor will not be responsible for the costs, Rangers will, as the Board employed the MC on a Fix contract only, not Supply and Fix, meaning we tried to save money by buying the materials direct and saving on the MC material percentage mark up. Quite common practice in some construction projects and can save a decent amount if all goes to plan, unfortunately in our case it has not and we are also facing delay costs for men and plant from the Contractor- as well as any costs associated with fulfilling our fixtures elsewhere. No a good situation at all, hence someone has been removed .
18 Jun 2024 15:01:58
Apparently a deal for Barron has been agreed and he will announced very soon.
1.) 18 Jun 2024 15:20:51
Talk about dragging on.
2.) 18 Jun 2024 15:28:33
It’s not dragging on boy been on holiday.
3.) 18 Jun 2024 15:29:35
Window only opened on Friday and depends when his contract ended. possibly two weeks or so ago so to allow for holidays and consider all options, it’s hardly been a long time. For a development fee, this represents good business. We need to target the best Scottish talent available and he fits into this bracket.
4.) 18 Jun 2024 15:29:51
Here's hoping as he's a cracking player.
5.) 18 Jun 2024 15:45:40
It’s not dragged out if he’s in by pre season starting Monday. that's the main thing….
6.) 18 Jun 2024 16:09:37
Would be nice hope so ??????.
7.) 18 Jun 2024 16:24:14
Have to say if Barron comes off together with Igamane then I will be very pleased.
Adding youth, hunger and I trust players who can improve (at what seems reasonable prices) the squad looks to be taking on good depth.
IMO once PC has a number of these young players in then I can see him adding that all important spine CB/ CM/ CF with experienced players able to go straight into the 11.Frustrating as it may seem looking for those exciting marquee players as many have said we have be patient and allow for some of the fringe and unwanted players to be moved on (as I think there will eventually need to be compromise to move on the likes of Lammers and Goldson etc) .
Also annoyingly will be August before EPL teams set their season squads and would not suprise me if a few excellent players become available at that time.
8.) 18 Jun 2024 16:29:00
We really do have some of the most impatient entitled supporters around. Window is barely just opened and folk complaining already.
9.) 18 Jun 2024 16:43:40
Summed up perfectly there Macnaughten.
10.) 18 Jun 2024 16:54:49
Tbh, I've never seen this boy play. does anyone know if he's good enough to make the starting 11?
11.) 18 Jun 2024 16:57:44
Dragging on? The windows not even open even if he's free the boys been on holiday ? how dare he take a break from football eh.
12.) 18 Jun 2024 17:44:29
Mark, he will be at the olympics for Morocco.
13.) 18 Jun 2024 17:46:26
@Mark44 - He’s good enough to be a starting CM for Rangers right now as long as he can stay fit. He just had a breakout season with Aberdeen and was nominated for Young POTY.
I honestly think he’ll be an upgrade on Jack and Lundstrum.

Rice, Lovelace, McKinnon need to be given time on the pitch this season. They're either going to be good enough, or not. I hold belief in all three.
1.) 01 Sep 2024 08:16:12
Totally agree no point them hanging around another year with no first team exposure.
2.) 01 Sep 2024 10:13:38
Agree if they are fit and around the squad let’s give them minutes, hopefully the odd start rather than the last 5 minutes of games, was encouraged with Lovelace in that game against St Mirren before he got bad injury, Rice is the one that a lot have high hopes for. McKinnon has been on the fringes a while, had a good loan spell at Thistle and I think an English team as well, be hard for him to break into the team.
20 Aug 2024 21:18:48
That whole, once a Ger, always a Ger chat, doesn't apply to Beale. He was a fraud, as was Wilson. Never welcome back and may they rot into obscurity.
1.) 21 Aug 2024 09:40:29
What has Wilson done wrong now?
16 Aug 2024 16:22:56
So there was no big announcement today then? Not sure who it was that suggested there would be, but someone must have posted it on here.
12 Aug 2024 13:19:08
The crowd needs to stay until the end tomorrow night if we want to see this over the line. Embarrassing on Saturday with folk leaving from 50 mins and no subway to catch. Hardly any fans left when the players came round. Don't care about the arguments, it must be demoralising for the players to see empty stands with 20 mins to go. Driving away from Hampden can be very easy, more so without having an away end to dodge round. Need the supporters supporting from the off. The game is winnable, but need to be firing from the start. Let's do our bit.
1.) 12 Aug 2024 14:05:37
Hampden a nightmare to get away from compared t o ibrox (45min) I stay to end every game as on a supporters bus and have to wait to everyone is back but can’t blame people leaving early, euro nights usually different especially if possible extra time,
2.) 12 Aug 2024 14:13:29
Wind your neck in! Hampden is a nightmare to get home from if you travel on public transport, so I don't blame supporters. Seriously, you would think there are a lot more to be concerned with than supporters leaving early!
3.) 12 Aug 2024 14:38:29
Trains are a pain but driving less of an issue. Sunshine, as for winding my neck in, the lack of support coming from the stands is a major issue at times. You’ll sit and snipe regardless but the stands were like a morgue in Saturday and that translates to the pitch 100%. You’ll have seen that if you were there. If anyone needs help with a little local knowledge to help escape quicker after full time, let me know. Anyone going east of the city should be a breeze. And my point was more about the large swathes leaving between 50-70 mins at which point the trains and roads would have been empty.
4.) 12 Aug 2024 15:00:03
There will be bigger trains on at Mt Florida, prob extra buses in and around the area also.
5.) 12 Aug 2024 15:04:46
Doesn’t matter what ground you’re in, 46000 fans leaving a stadium is going to be brutal to get home from.
6.) 12 Aug 2024 15:08:41
Must agree with Ibrox4me but wouldn’t have dared criticise our fans, the untouchables. The players need the fans as much as ever.
7.) 12 Aug 2024 15:22:55
Of course Alloa, but we all know that before going. Forget how much players get paid, if people suggest they can’t be bothered committing to staying and supporting, it has an effect, this is a fact. SollOf19, with you 100%.
On a lighter note I asked two guys leaving the North Stand on 50 if they’d seen the end of Star Wars. One mumbled ‘aye’ and I congratulated him on staying til the end of the film ?.
8.) 12 Aug 2024 15:45:40
No that’s what I mean ibrox, you know before you go it’s going to be a late one. I cannot believe that many guys are p*ssy whipped they have to leave on 50mins ?.
9.) 12 Aug 2024 16:17:40
Driving is terrible from Hampden, no bus lanes and tighter streets, you take an hour for the bus to get into second gear.

Took me 1.5hours to get on a train at mount Florida . Scandalous.

Fans that pay their money can do whatever they like.
12.) 12 Aug 2024 18:51:12
Lots of different reasons for persons leaving early Ibrox. People with young kids, elderly persons, disabled persons as it’s less busier. These people have good reasons and I believe that if a supporter pays their money they can do as they please ?.
13.) 12 Aug 2024 19:59:03
Sometimes it's easier to stay at home n watch a stream, but these people go out their way to support our club, leave them alone.
14.) 12 Aug 2024 20:02:47
After 50 mins? Aye, no bother. We need a support that sticks with the team.
02 Aug 2024 10:54:49
Great news with PC signing a four year deal. Puts a lot of the nonsense chat about him leaving to bed. We've finally got a manager who has the trust of the board and knows what he's doing. A great chance to build and create stability.
11 Sep 2024 20:40:32
Correct John.
11 Sep 2024 16:13:18
The media haven’t got a clue. They are making up stuff based on little to fill columns which the gullible ones lap up. Gillespie can’t give St Mirren notice as he’s not employed by them and hasn’t ever had a paid position in football.
Bevington has touted himself and the media have picked up on a comment he made about wanting to work in Scotland at some point.
Believing the papers is as futile as searching for honest politicians.
11 Sep 2024 10:42:47
Mentioned this last week. Was told I was being dodgy. OSCR are indeed looking into Kibble, where Gillespie is CEO. Gillespie has never held a paid role in football. It was never going to be him in any case. Based on conversations I’ve had in person in the past 7 days, it’s crazy how little the media know yet they print articles every day. My source is extremely close to the goings on. The appointment was imminent last week but there are still conversations to be had. My preference is the Hearts CEO. Adrian Bevington has been mentioned, but largely by himself. Most likely a left field appointment will follow.

Good intel Berkshire. The conversation I had suggested that Letham doesn’t want to be Chairman but that doesn’t preclude any consortium investing. Think we need a significant change in direction and then a long period of stability.

Berkshire, you think that could happen? Not sure about the Easdales due to previous links with the Fat Man. Think we need rid of Park and King tbh. I actually think we need a strong majority share like they have. They might not like him but look at the position they’re in and how they’re managed.

May as well just give up then and stop supporting the team. If you’ve given up all hope then I pity you. Without hope, you have nothing.

That should be given to all players we sign.

That’s great news.

Hampden is terrible but a lot better than most away grounds we go to, and yet people are outside those holding up cash looking for spares.
