John, Beale about, or anyone else with a bit of inside knowledge. Is anyone hearing anything about some heated exchanges between the players and Beale at half time on Sunday regarding Beale's tactics and the players questioning them? I've read elsewhere from a poster on another site saying that someone on Rangers radio had mentioned it. Could be rubbish, but I wanted to ask.
1.) 07 Sep 2023 10:28:13
Load of rubbish mate.
2.) 07 Sep 2023 10:59:39
Old blue more rubbish.
3.) 07 Sep 2023 11:11:18
cannot blame them tbf if it's true. Reason packed in playing myself was a blow up in the dressing room well several tbh but when that starts it's bye.
4.) 07 Sep 2023 12:05:07
Wouldn't be overly surprised if Beale has lost most of the dressing room, he's lost most of the fans.
5.) 07 Sep 2023 13:58:57
I think it would be common knowledge by now if it was true, especially with all the social media everywhere. It has crossed my mind Beale might have lost the dressing room let’s see what happens at McDiarmid park.
6.) 07 Sep 2023 14:27:37
Lost most of the fans, wouldn't be surprised if he's lost a few players anaw?
7.) 07 Sep 2023 14:58:41
I wouldn’t imagine the players being happy getting played out of position but hope the rumours are false as that wouldn’t fair greatly for the upcoming games.
8.) 07 Sep 2023 15:24:47
Lost his marbles more like….
9.) 07 Sep 2023 17:38:50
Maybe Beale was going to play the right tactics and the players said naw this is how we beat them. if that's true sack the players and start again jesus.
10.) 07 Sep 2023 18:28:34
Without being ITK I can tell you it's nonsense. Beale wouldn’t tolerate anything like that. Training is taken extremely seriously, whereas it had a reputation for being a joke under GVB. The guys from the Rangers Review said Beale has a reputation as being a real disciplinarian, and that was the case even when Gerrard was here.
11.) 07 Sep 2023 19:21:54
Definitely lost the plot.
12.) 07 Sep 2023 20:52:47
Beale has caused this mess, he can get us out of it, he knows what the end result will be if he don’t. The cockanee will be down the frog and toad.
05 Sep 2023 13:06:18
There's a well known poster on Follow Follow (kletus kassady), who is ITK, saying that Beale won't be here much longer. Loads of reports Muscat has been approached. Heart and Hand reporting it.
1.) 05 Sep 2023 13:23:21
A lot of people saying want Knutsen
I'd prefer Muscat as he has done it with two different teams in different leagues has knowledge of markets that will be cheaper than Europe and is a former player.
Knutsen has only done it with one club and has never left his own country it would be a big culture shock for him also never had much playing career
Gattuso I love the idea of seeing him as manager but the reality is his track record is quite poor.
2.) 05 Sep 2023 13:51:21
Not according to the post 30mins ago. Nothing in it apparently.
3.) 05 Sep 2023 13:52:27
Heart and Hand now reporting no truth in Muscatt rumours.
4.) 05 Sep 2023 14:06:46
Heart and Hand have said that the club have not approached Muscat.
5.) 05 Sep 2023 14:12:23
Knutsen knocked back Ajax because they wouldn't give him a percentage of players transfers.
6.) 05 Sep 2023 14:27:59
I think a lot of fans are going to be disappointed if they think the board will sack Beale over 1 result.
PSV were far better than us so he's not getting sacked over that game.
Sunday may have put up some red flags for the board but I think they will give him to December unless we have a bad run after the break.
7.) 05 Sep 2023 14:44:16
It's not one result though is it? It's the lack of style, it's the loss to killie, Aberdeen, Celtic on more than one occasion and the manner of the defeat Vs PSV. He got to pick his players and he got the rebuild he wanted. It's not working. He has no credit in the bank and toxicity around the club isn't fading. if anything going by social media and discussions with friends it's getting more intense.
He's in trouble. The other part is the club haven't given him a public vote of confidence and would the club come out and say yeah we've approached Muscat? Of course not.
I expect he will get longer but it's not deserving and there are no signs it will work. We shall see though.
8.) 05 Sep 2023 14:45:57
I will be in the minority but I wouldn’t sack him just now. Admittedly our start to the season has been underwhelming to say the least but I want to see how the team perform after the International break and take it from there.
9.) 05 Sep 2023 14:46:48
The club are hardly likely to announce anything until there's something definite in place, are they? We'll all just have to wait and see if anything develops either way.
10.) 05 Sep 2023 14:47:30
Totally agree unfortunately NRD. Heard many saying he will be given to Xmas period minimum to see if we can close the gap and win the league cup. Are these fans mad . talkimg about closing the gap already and we've only played 4 games! As for the league cup, who really cares? Cups are great if doing well in the only domestic trophy that matters! If he is given til xmas the league will be over by then. 100%.
11.) 05 Sep 2023 14:58:52
How is he to blame for the PSV game.
Firstly they were far superior to us.
Secondly how is he to blame for Goldsons own goal.
Thirdly he picked the team we all wanted to start. A manager can only influence so many things but when you get beat off a better team then you just have to hold your hands up.
12.) 05 Sep 2023 15:03:07
He doesn't deserve to be given more time, he needs removed straight away. For the ones who say a new manager won't win the league, neither will this bufoon, so what's the difference? Get him out now, and give him a one way ticket back to London. Beale ball? Ha! Beale BS, and nothing more.
13.) 05 Sep 2023 15:10:46
Would rather see a more seasoned coach who is tactically astute and who has a broad experience of various leagues and has won trophies and is not a buddy buddy coach with players - someone who needs respect and is not averse to making changes when required - I know this is a big ask but we have had too many softies here since the Great Sir Walter led the team on and off the field.
14.) 05 Sep 2023 15:25:55
I think there is a strong possibility of Craig Moore being installed as DoF and Muscat as new first team coach.
15.) 05 Sep 2023 15:32:11
He’s to blame because he is the manager, he picks the players he sets them up tactically. I’ve been a Rangers fan long enough to have seen plenty of losses but the manner in which we are playing is the biggest concern for the fans. We are absolutely clueless, how many more key games does he need to lose. It will be interesting to see how good PSV are in the CL.
16.) 05 Sep 2023 15:35:36
NRD that statement is madness mate. How can he be blamed for PsV? No one is disputing they are a better team but we shouldn’t be getting beat 5-1. Goldsons own goal doesn’t make a difference to the overall performance and if it wasn’t for Butland it could have been 6/ 7+. We beat better teams than PSV on the way to Seville. Defeat agaisnt a better team is one thing hit a demolition is another. He’s out his depth.
17.) 05 Sep 2023 15:38:19
The Daily Rag are rubbishing the Muscat rumours. so expect him to be Rangers manager before the international break finishes.
18.) 05 Sep 2023 15:44:19
We now have a Chairman and a CEO that are massively successful in their chosen careers as their CV's show and the very fact that our Chairman plans to be full time with the Club from Summer 2024 suggests that there ar significant plans for the future.
They most certainly will not want to go into the 2024 / 25 season with a lame duck manager or in a situation where they need to spend the summer recruiting a new coaching team. For that reason, if Beale is to be relieved of his duties then I would expect it to happen before the end of December 2023, (and by then we should certainly know whether he has turned things round, can still win the league and is progressing in the Europa Cup. For what it is worth we will also know how we are doing in the League Cup.
In terms of who might replace Beale, I have no idea but I would like to see us appoint a top manager, ideally with a Scottish Assistant that is a Rangers Supporter.
19.) 05 Sep 2023 15:52:58
NRD how is it only one game? This season celtic kille and psv granted psv were better but it was the manner of the defeat that’s the problem we have no identity no tactics nothing. Also he didn’t beat Celtic in any game that mattered last season I can’t believe people think this is the man to lead us to a title.
20.) 05 Sep 2023 16:00:02
Are we knee jerking a bit . We do have a decent squad with exception of strikers whom we have brought in to replace better players The PSV game aside we can make a case for having won every other games this season.
21.) 05 Sep 2023 16:07:25
Guys I'm not champion him to stay in the job. Do I think he is the right man? Probably not. I just don't want us to be that club that hires and fires on the basis of a couple of bad results. I agree the manager shoulders most of the responsibility for defeats. Personally I don't like that but I get it. He signed these players and I still don't see a formation or style of play. That's on him. His tactics on Sunday were abysmal and again that's on him. All I'm saying is this board signed him and backed him with the money to buy his players. I just think they will wait a few months to see if he can turn it round.
22.) 05 Sep 2023 16:13:47
PSV had a bid from Brentford of £38m for Bakayoko about a week ago. Sangari is worth just as much, and is just as good. They had a £12m CB on the pitch when they played us. Even Scotland’s YPOTY was on their bench in, Malik Tillman. It was Tillman that made the difference for us against PSV last season, now he plays for them. This just shows what a shambles the club is.
I don’t expect Rangers to be able to beat teams with multiple wingers worth tens of millions. Not after a summer rebuild. Rangers punched well above their weight in Europe for years under Gerrard and the squad we had at that time. We are nowhere near that level anymore. PSV on the other hand are vastly improved from last season.
I’m certainly not surprised PSV beat us. PSV could turn Celtic over in Holland with that scoreline just as easily at the moment. I think people need to wake up a bit.
23.) 05 Sep 2023 16:18:37
League cup final 17/ 12.
24.) 05 Sep 2023 16:20:32
Moore and Muscat sounds reasonable.
25.) 05 Sep 2023 16:53:35
Storm we can't really count last season as he was left with a bit of a rubbishshow. Kent and Morelos were horrific and Kamara had chucked it. Bit unfair to blame him as the league was already gone when he came in. I agree with you regarding style of play though. Personally I think he's trying to be too smart in regards to tactics and now he's panicking who fits in where. I said in an earlier post his decision to stick with Dessers when clearly not fit and quite frankly not that good could be his downfall.
26.) 05 Sep 2023 16:59:28
NRD your points are very valid and like anyone on here u r entitled to your opinion
I like reading your stuff.
27.) 05 Sep 2023 17:10:13
Ayreshire Murphy we’ve only played them once this season behave yourself haha.
28.) 05 Sep 2023 17:34:05
Thanks John. Your right everyone is entitled to an opinion and I can't disagree with what anyone on here has to say. good or bad.
We are all passionate about our team that's why we all come on. There would be something wrong if we didn't.
29.) 05 Sep 2023 18:44:50
NRD, the trouble is that even although he took over and Kent, Morelos and Kamara had all chucked, he was still able to get the remaining players playing better and fighting for the jersey . Yeah we lost 3 OF games but in two of them we would have done better with a bit of luck, better reffing and individuals not making horrendous errors. He got the players playing but now he has lost a lot of those players, mostly by choice, and the players he has brought in are poor replacements, It is the lack of any plan, poor tactics and bad signings that have turned the support against him. Forget PSV, he had the chance to beat a depleted and poor Celtic team on Sunday and blew it . Win that and nobody would really have been bothering about the PSV game .
30.) 05 Sep 2023 20:21:05
Was Kletus Kassady in The Dukes of Hazzard ?
31.) 05 Sep 2023 20:36:47
“He got the players playing but now he has lost a lot of those players, mostly by choice, and the players he has brought in are poor replacements, It is the lack of any plan, poor tactics and bad signings that have turned the support against him. ”
Rangers were a failing side getting beat 4-0 by Celtic prior to Beale coming in. He instantly made us more competitive in the Old Firm games. Beale also had one of the best starts of any Rangers manager in history. We were 14 games unbeatean at one point. We actually finished the season with 92 points which is enough to win it most years.
Yes, Beale got rid of last years squad. Did he have a choice? No. We as a fanbase would not have tolerated going into this season with the exact same team as last year again. We demanded a massive rebuild, mate. I listened to the press conferences and the guy from Heart and Hand said to Beale we need a dozen in, and a dozen out.
Also, you don't know how good or bad these new signings are because you haven’t seen enough of them. When Ange first took over Celtic quickly found himself 6 points behind in the league, and eliminated from the CL by a team from Denmark. However, over time Ange’s team was able to gel. It them improved quite dramatically. Rather than sack him Celtic gave the guy some time to see what his team could do. We could learn something from that.
I'd also add that Ange came from the other side of the world, never played for Celtic, and was a mediocre footballer for South Melbourne for 10 years. So it confuses me when people say we need a British manger, or some that use to play for Rangers, of has impressive experience as a player, etc.
32.) 05 Sep 2023 21:01:14
We can't count last season NRD really! Filunny I remember the club judging McCall on less time and he never even got a proper transfer window and lost his job based on two legs Vs Motherwell with a team that want his.
Beale has signed 11 players and we are just as bad if not worse and further down road age wise with guys like goldson Tav I would not trust Beale with more funds and player that is brought to Ibrox should be intended to be in first 11 buying players for squad position is like aiming to fail.
And fail he has.
33.) 05 Sep 2023 21:54:08
Gms how can you say no1 cares about winning the cup we've won 2 trophys since 2017 our club is built on winnig trophies and we need to gget back to that and the players need to know what it feels to win and see what it means to the fans that could be a catylast to more success.
34.) 05 Sep 2023 22:47:40
I’d give him more time. Sunday was the first time against Celtic that I thought the defeat was down to him. As has been pointed out individual errors have cost us against them. I think when you bring in a new manager once the season has started, it’s only held against them in their first full season which has been seen with Gio and Beale.
35.) 05 Sep 2023 22:48:14
Sconnor you do realise Beale was in charge last season as well? Or you so short sighted you only look at this season. He's managed us against Celtic what 5 times? Won only once? Behave yourself and look at the bigger picture.
He also lost to Aberdeen 2-0 last season. 1-0 to killie this season. The players look lost. You can't see that well that's up to you.
36.) 06 Sep 2023 02:42:46
GP - you can make a case for winning games all you want, reality is we lost to Killie, Celtic and were embarrassed by PSV after limping past USG.
The biggest issue for me is that I can't see what Beale is trying to do. He brought in 3 central strikers and only plays 1 through the middle. He brought in Cifuentes to play a role he doesn't look comfortable in and Dowell to sit on the bench whilst leaving the defence without any strengthening. There is all the hallmarks here of another season being squandered away. Rodgers will get things going over there, he is a proven manager. We are going to end up in trouble if we need to do a big rebuuld again next summer.
37.) 06 Sep 2023 07:38:20
NRD
Don't think just soul destroying defeats but the trend he has implanted with new players, strategy, style etc. He's spent 10m on bugger all, either that he doesn't know how to make them play. Had high hope as he was allegedly SG main man. Sure don't look like now. Now calmed down bit, not one for knee jerk changes, for instance Sakala, he burning it up, but because @@@@ league, I don't know. Thinking if we're still languishing 3rd in Nov. off he pops.
38.) 06 Sep 2023 13:18:45
VerdantAbyss my comments about how he came in and got the players playing was actually a plus point in Beales favour as far as I was concerned but he has made the decision to change the whole squad . Yes we wanted changes but McGregor, Helander, Morelos and Kent were all leaving . Davis should have been freed also and Kamara was desperate to be sold. That means we wouldn`t have been going in with the same squad. He decided to keep Jack but not Arfield . He decided to get rid of Colak and Sakalas goals and not give Hagi a chance to get fit. He`s the manager and that is his job BUT the players he brought in so far are not up to the task and he is not playing most of them while favouring Matondo, and a half fit Roofe and Lawrence. He brought in Balogun but rushed Goldson back for the Killie game after not playing a minute in pre season . He has spent money, left the squad unbalanced and doesn`t trust most of the players he has brought in. No comparison to Ange who did lose a couple of games while actually bedding in his new players and his new style of play . We don`t play our new players and don`t have a style of play.

Fans are now putting 2 and 2 together after Beale changed his social media profile picture from a Rangers one to one of him clapping Qpr fans. I know it's a long shot, but please God let there be something on this. ??
Also, some chat on FF that he has been binned and a statement from club could be imminent. Again, could be rubbish, but here's hoping.
1.) 09 Sep 2023 15:36:01
As someone said earlier … a bit of mischievous making here we think old green eyes.
2.) 09 Sep 2023 15:43:31
And there it is, the you must be a celtic fan go to when you've nothing left in the fight. It's both pathetic and embarrassing Mols, and a man of your age should really know better.
3.) 09 Sep 2023 18:36:36
As someone said earlier and I agree.
4.) 10 Sep 2023 02:35:54
Verdant and Alloa Ger you should be appluaded for your loyalty to the old Red white and blue.
I think there are merits in your defence of MB who I consider to be a very good coach and a guy who has came up from England and fell in love with our club and our illustrious history including a hatred of the green and white. Unfortunately I don't think this is enough as the Ranger's Manager's job is much more than being the head coach and at the moment he is lacking some of the additional qualities required to be the Rangers Manager. I wish him all the best in his next job in football. He truly loved the Rangers.
09 Sep 2023 08:17:06
After Chris Jack's piece on the inside story on Rangers transfer window, I believe the clock is ticking on Beale, and it won't be long until he's gone.
Chris Jack is a big bluenose, and he's obviously rated by the board, and this is why they went to him to write this piece, and from what I have read, they've basically called out Beale and contradicted what he said in his press conference. Talk about not backing your man.
I see David Edgar isn't happy. He posted that the board contradicting the manager "isn't a good look", and said it was a "mess".
Read into it however you want, but this does not end well for Beale, and in my opinion, the end is very nigh.
Whether you like him or not, the board have basically thrown him under the bus, but after what Beale done to Gio, there's nothing like giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
On a lighter note, it was great to see another great result from Scotland, and we should all be proud of our national team who are about to qualify for another major tournament. John McGinn might be a massive celtic fan, but he is some player.
1.) 09 Sep 2023 08:49:49
Can't see how it matters what team he supports when playing for his country ?.
2.) 09 Sep 2023 08:50:52
The majority of the fans have already turned mate. I think it's going to be almost impossible to pull this back to be honest. Unless MB makes big decisions in that team i. e formation, style and personal change that actually works then he, ll be gone sooner rather than later.
3.) 09 Sep 2023 09:09:38
I’m in the same boat as you old blue eyes, I think the writing is unfortunately on the wall. The John Eustace rumour just feels so random not to have some weight behind it especially when it’s picked up by the main stream press.
Wasn’t Scotlands best performance last night but it was a very professional performance and 3 points in the bag.
I gambled on flights to Germany last month, I’m sure the price will be on the up now.
4.) 09 Sep 2023 09:36:47
I know a few folk who work at the club, mainly in the youth set up, and they said the atmosphere is similar to GVB last few weeks.
5.) 09 Sep 2023 09:48:54
Hi old blue eyes, what was Chris Jack saying? Tried to find article but it was wanting me to subscribe to Rangers Review to read it.
6.) 09 Sep 2023 09:56:14
Hopefully the board act swiftly and sack him, it's clearly not working and imo will only get worse. He was never the man for the job as some said on here at the time.
7.) 09 Sep 2023 10:00:32
You desperately want Beale to be sacked. So it's not surprising you would read that article and conclude Beale’s a terrible person that needs sacked. It’s called ‘confirmation bias’.
Also, Chris Jack writes exclusively for the Rangers Review who hired him only a week ago and made a big announcement about it in YouTube. Chris Jack works for Rangers fans media, not the DaIly Record.
What do you mean these comments “after what Beale done to GVB”? Beale didn’t do anything to him, mate. GVB was 9 points behind Celtic having just managed a team that lost every game it played in the Champions League group stages. We also got pumped off Celtic 4-0 TWICE which should never be happening. GVB was a failure, and that's why he was sacked.
Beale was sitting in the stand watching one of our games one day? What a monster! What should be done about this? Should we sack him, yeah? ?.
8.) 09 Sep 2023 10:20:14
Verdant yawn yawn yawn . If gio was a failure where does that leave MB . He's lost every really important match we've had. At least Gio defeated them in a meaningful game and went on and won the cup .
9.) 09 Sep 2023 10:25:49
So it sits OK with you, that Beale was touting himself around idrox, knowing Geo was for the off, and he maybe in line for job, shows real style.
10.) 09 Sep 2023 10:28:34
Dado, if michael beale was unfortunately to lose his job and i honestly hope and pray he can turn it around and keep his job, it would be absolutely crazy to appoint john eustace another inexperienced manager and it surely to god wouldn't be the case ?Where this story has come from is baffling and god only knows ?.
11.) 09 Sep 2023 10:34:34
They will talk to Potter and Billy Reid could swing it, not necessarily a money thing with Potter doesn't look like he's skint.
Billy might just be the key, they are a team and have been for a long period of time.
Then you would find players no doubt about that .
12.) 09 Sep 2023 11:00:43
I don’t disagree Sir Walter, john eustace would be a strange appointment, I’m not sure what we gain from that.
I don’t actually want Beale sacked, I want Rangers to succeed, with the amount of failure hanging over Beatles head it’s hard to see how we can succeed with him in charge.
13.) 09 Sep 2023 11:07:25
Hi folks, Eustace has stated in the Birmingham press, he wants to stay at Blues, he has new board and £££ to spend . Congrats Scotland on last nights result .
14.) 09 Sep 2023 11:16:01
I’m with you verdant.
15.) 09 Sep 2023 11:52:52
I worry about you Verdant, I really do. Who mentioned the Daily Record? ?
Look, you obviously support Beale, but the writing is on wall for him, accept it. It's obviously too much for you to take onboard, but it's happening, and only the most blinkered can't see that. Sorry Verdant, you're going to have to prepare yourself for the inevitable.
Beale about for 56 really? You can't see that was tongue in cheek. You make me laugh. ?.
16.) 09 Sep 2023 12:00:50
I really hope the Eustace rumour is just that, a rumour. If he's has come out and said he's staying with Birmingham, then hopefully he means it and doesn't pull a Beale.
I think your gamble has paid off Dado mate, nice one. Unfortunately I'll be in Fuerteventura with the family (better not let the wife read this ?), in Jandia that is full of Germans and very little English. I'll have my Rangers, Scotland and Hamburg tops packed to wear with pride.
17.) 09 Sep 2023 12:29:09
VerdantAbyss, once again you try to support Beale by harping back to Gios record, we know it was poor and he got the sack . He lost too many games to them but he did win a cup semi against them and won the cup . The thing that really annoys me with what you write is, it is factually inaccurate . Gio did not lose two OF games 4-0, just like the other day you wrote that Beale had only lost one domestic game outside of OF which again was wrong. You should check Google before you write this stuff.
18.) 09 Sep 2023 12:46:50
You have ‘unconscious bias’, Verdant.
Where in your mind, Beale hasn’t done and can do no wrong ?♂️.
19.) 09 Sep 2023 13:01:34
Old Blue eyes, I don’t think Eustace would BS the Birmingham fans, plus all his wider family live in Brum AND they are all TIMS, he was also on the coaching staff for the Republic of Ireland a while back, if he wanted a Glasgow job it would be in the east end .
20.) 09 Sep 2023 13:16:41
Personally don't think he should be sacked yet, we have a decent run of fixtures with a lot of home games coming up and things could look slightly better. However he needs to be ruthless and stop trying to make certain players fit a role that is not natural its a total waste of their abilities. The best 11 does not include players like dessers or lundstram and never will. He has better options at his disposal than that. For starters.
21.) 09 Sep 2023 15:56:11
I don’t think verdant has as you say unconscious bias tattie nor do I think he can see no wrong in Beale. Non of us are happy with some of and I reiterate. Some results as there are a few good the selected fail to acknowledge.
Winning 5 m for getting the chance to play PSV was excellent.
Some still support our managers and try to stay positive through the hard times . some are way way more fickle and don’t …
Can’t see the wood for the trees I say .
Can’t see the bigger picture.
after three bad results …. ? Brilliant crack on with the whips boys the other side are loving your comments.

Beale didn’t come up for a giggle, obv the club invited him.

Who thinks lammers will be a success with us? How is he in front of Hagi who I think offers so much more, and who should now play instead him. Lammers wants and needs those extra couple of seconds to do something, but he won't get that in Scottish football. He just looks lost and someone who doesn't want to get involved. Barry Ferguson said he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
I know that some of our players were missing but should we really be huffing and puffing to a narrow victory over a mid table championship team at home?

Barry Ferguson says a lot of things, that’s why Walter got rid.
2.) 19 Aug 2023 21:23:18
Lammers has done nothing to suggest that he should be in the starting XI. I think Dowell/ Hagi will end up fighting it out for the No10 position and Lammers will be sold on for a loss in 11 months time.

I know we secure 5m if we win tonight, and a guaranteed spot in EL if we don't beat psv next, but what happens if Servette put us out? Is that us out of Europe altogether? I've Googled it, but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
1.) 15 Aug 2023 07:53:05
No mate we are definitely in the Europa.
2.) 15 Aug 2023 08:04:18
Think we're guaranteed el even if we go out tonight but imo we'll be facing psv.
3.) 15 Aug 2023 08:06:41
We’re guaranteed pot 1 of europa no matter what. If we get to the next knockout stage the only difference is the 5m parachute payment if we lose.
4.) 15 Aug 2023 08:07:42
It’s probably not been made too clear, but Rangers are 100% guaranteed European football this term, with group participation assured thanks to our work on the Scottish coefficient.
Cut and pasted.
5.) 15 Aug 2023 08:19:58
Guaranteed group stages of europa league even if we did get knocked out tonight, the only difference being we won't get the £5million?But i do fancy us to definitely get through against Servette tonight ?.
6.) 15 Aug 2023 08:31:24
Thanks guys. I also believe we'll be facing psv too Jfm2704. And I believe we can beat then to reach the CL. We have to believe, don't we?
7.) 15 Aug 2023 10:52:50
Provide going be the pot 1 team every side will want drawn against. This rangers side is nowhere a pot 1 side.
8.) 15 Aug 2023 11:27:48
That is the pot we are in, if we get into the cl we are in the highest pot from our country, hopefully that mobs pick up coefficient points we can't keep our champions in the cl by ourselves.
9.) 15 Aug 2023 12:25:20
If we are guaranteed a Europa Group Stage spot, do you think that the club budgeted for that this year? They always say they don`t include Europe in the budget but if its guaranteed would they change this . Just thinking that there would be no need to curb spending based on being unsure like we have done in the past. MB has said that one more sale, presumably Kamara, and the outgoings and incomings match up because the press have exaggerated some of the fees. Having a zero net spend surely means that some of the Europa money should still be available for new players.

Great result yesterday, but it definitely wasn't a 4-0 performance, but who cares.
High points were Cantwell who just continues to get better. Souttar, who was immense again. Balogun, who wasn't greeted back with open arms from everyone, but just continues to answer any critics. Danilo scoring, but he must be played as our central striker where he'll score for fun.
Low point was Dessers getting pelters from the crowd. No need! Is he the new whipping boy?
1.) 13 Aug 2023 10:18:53
Sima was the whipping boy but he put in a shift when he came on.
2.) 13 Aug 2023 11:20:14
The fans do like a whipping boy.
3.) 13 Aug 2023 11:44:21
I think it was a 6.0 performance of the new boys had clicked earlier.
We also saw at the end Michael B screaming at the team to play the ball forward . so that points to the negative play not being his remit.
4.) 13 Aug 2023 12:15:53
Why is he a whipping boy Jfm? He was poor yesterday but hopefully will come good. That’s just fact that he was poor nothing else nothing more.
5.) 13 Aug 2023 12:41:53
Stormtrooper, If you were at the game, then you must know the answer. The fans were having a real go at him throughout his time on the park, especially one time he gave the ball away. That doesn't help anyone.
6.) 13 Aug 2023 13:12:02
Correct old blue eyes, you obviously know the score.
7.) 13 Aug 2023 13:24:05
I said the fans like a whipping boy, never mentioned dessers
, matondo been getting it in the neck for months now after one sub appearance he's wonderful. Tav gets pelters on here regularly, Wright gets called dug meat by our own. Booing our own player at the game is really poor storm, if you can't see that maybe you were one of themdoing the booing.
I thought he started well yesterday but faded badly, do fans really think booing a player during a game will improve how he's playing.
Matondo getting called a wage thief and he's not the first to get labelled with that. Best support in the world eh.

Again, good post jfm ?.

I'd hazard a guess you don't have any good sources big Fez?
Martindale? ????.

"Beale's project? What does that even entail verdant? I don't even think Beale knows? ??
The journalist (?) who broke this story is an English based hack for the English sun, not the one up here.
13 Sep 2023 14:31:19
Gazgers231 obviously not getting the gist of my post. Facts! ??.
13 Sep 2023 13:58:29
If this is true, and Yilmaz is declaring himself unfit to play, then he needs moved on. Add this to his lb colleague Barisic soiling himself when the heat is on, that's some state our lb area is in.
For all the abuse Tav gets on here, and elsewhere, that's one guy who would never refuse to play, or sh#t the bed during a game. Work that one out.
11 Sep 2023 11:57:44
Nothing to apologise for John, it's a rumours site mate.
Old blue eyes's banter replies
15 Sep 2023 15:40:20
Are you saying he should replace Tav? Why?
14 Sep 2023 18:10:52
That is my opinion too Sir Walter S OBE.
14 Sep 2023 16:26:34
I'm sure it was Moore who touted himself for the job, and that was it. No experience, more likely to find him brown noseing on Go radio, so not exactly what's needed mate.
14 Sep 2023 16:22:25
I'm right all the time Mols. ??.
14 Sep 2023 16:05:32
???? You're on the wrong site mate.
