Any updates on Propper and/ or anybody else potentially incoming?
1.) 01 Aug 2024 16:13:09
Propper will be signed up today ahead of the champions league registration barring any issue with his medical. Might be announced tomorrow but if we sign him up today then that leaves the 2 additional spaces for other players that we (hopefully) bring in ahead of the fixture.
2.) 01 Aug 2024 16:39:21
David, i assume the club can register him even if he hasn't had the official annnoucement as long as he has passed his medical and signed the contract.
3.) 01 Aug 2024 17:29:16
We should really be pushing the boat out to sign Hannibal from Man Utd, it’s definitely not a gamble, he looked really good against us, he’s quick, strong got that grit in his teeth really liked look of him. And whatever u pay you’ll get it back double or treble. He could be the difference.
4.) 01 Aug 2024 17:42:11
More chance of Hannibal Lecter arriving than the boy from Man u.
Far too pricey.
5.) 01 Aug 2024 17:49:32
He’s a lot better than anyone else we’ve been linked with and they all costing roughly the same. Absolute no brainer!
6.) 01 Aug 2024 18:58:34
Ger yes we can so long as the dotted line is signed and he is a rangers player. We can officially announce it to the public whenever we want.
20 Jul 2024 05:42:17
Heart and hand reporting deal for tav not far away. Both parties want the deal done and dusted. Will be done fairly quickly. Hope you have digested that sws.
1.) 20 Jul 2024 06:10:20
Dont think we have been linked with ant right backs other thab johnson and reuters who I think both now have teams for bext season. Be interesting to see what we do if he does leave, should free up a chunk of wages to sign one or two players.
2.) 20 Jul 2024 06:37:06
We already have a ready made replacement in Sterling. Good deal all round for both parties.
I would have to see him get a big contract in Saudi right enough.
3.) 20 Jul 2024 06:47:40
Devine is good cover for sterling.
4.) 20 Jul 2024 07:39:10
Do you guys genuinly think Devine, King and Balogun are good enough back ups for Sterling over the course of a 50+ game season, sterling was one in one out pretty much last season, we need someone to come in want that right back spot as his own and to fight sterling for it.
5.) 20 Jul 2024 07:57:15
We're in trouble if people think Devine will be good enough to cover at right back if Tav goes. He couldn't get a game for Motherwell last season.
6.) 20 Jul 2024 08:05:59
Leon balogun most definitely coplandbear ?% mate ?.
7.) 20 Jul 2024 08:11:01
Walter tav 100% not going to Turkey? Gazgers i think tav and his wife have lied to your face. listen tav has been a good plater for Rangers. But his time is up at the club we to go in a new direction. Cheers for your services tav.
8.) 20 Jul 2024 08:11:43
Agree with SWS, spot on bud??.
9.) 20 Jul 2024 08:18:11
Paul he has never met Tav.
10.) 20 Jul 2024 08:32:29
Lets put thing in perspective, Celitc have won many a trophy and league with Ralstson, Taylor, Scales and Welsh at the back. Our failure to deliver is a collective failure from top of the club to the bottom and most of the players, hopefully we see change this season. The appointment of Pedro and Beale put us off course by 4 years.
11.) 20 Jul 2024 09:18:49
Devine is far better than he's given credit for, personally can't remember him having one bad game for us, but i can remember him having a couple of motm for us though, in a different position, very good cover in my eyes.
12.) 20 Jul 2024 09:31:41
Devine done well at mwell got injured last few games. Sure John said hibs trying to buy him.
13.) 20 Jul 2024 09:42:49
Yes Bathgate assist in his first game mate then scored in his 3/ 4 game.
14.) 20 Jul 2024 10:06:48
Devine never let us down any time he stepped into the first team. As a backup I think he is more than capable domestically. What message are we sending out to our academy players if we keep dipping into the market for squad players. We must show a path from academy to first team. Plus I think we need other startinh positions filled.
15.) 20 Jul 2024 10:54:57
Sterling had a few injuries last season, we can't rely on him this season to play 50+ games, we will need to reinvest for a new rb, devine will be alright for some games but not ready for the big games yet, little experience at motherwell last season doesn't cut it unfortunately. There is a few ooc players that we could definitely look at with European experience.
16.) 20 Jul 2024 11:50:38
Devine is good cover for Sterling who now needs a run at his natural position. King isn’t the answer at CB and needs to either move on or step forward one and play as a holding mid.
17.) 20 Jul 2024 12:25:02
Have M/ well asked to have Devine back or are they satisfied with the veteran RB they have and the reserves in place now?
18.) 20 Jul 2024 12:42:41
I'd like to see Mckinnon kick on this year aswell?.
19.) 20 Jul 2024 15:52:32
Fork I agree, others need to kick on as well.
02 Jul 2024 05:39:01
Working with barrons dads mate. Connor only wanted to come to Rangers, even with his dad being such a diehard aberdeen fan. He also had 3 offers from italy and rooney personally called him to try get him to plymouth. Rangers are paying 5 times what Aberdeen offered as a basic salary.
1.) 02 Jul 2024 05:48:24
Didn’t baron come out and say he idolised Gaza growing up? Doesn’t sound like an Aberdeen fans house to me.
2.) 02 Jul 2024 06:05:56
His dad is a die hard Aberdeen fan.
3.) 02 Jul 2024 06:21:39
Yes he did. Seen that yesterday. Maybe trying to get the fans onside. Evevrybody from Aberdeen know barron and his family are all big Aberdeen fans.
4.) 02 Jul 2024 08:15:08
Idolised gazza? Wasn't even a glint in his das eye when gazza was about.
5.) 02 Jul 2024 08:15:11
Idolised gazza? Wasn't even a glint in his das eye when gazza was about.
6.) 02 Jul 2024 09:05:40
As long as he does a job for us
Which I think he will.
7.) 02 Jul 2024 09:30:44
Gazza was a magician and plenty of supporters beyond those supporting our club would have loved gazza.
8.) 02 Jul 2024 12:17:18
Its great that Aberdeen are our feeder club now.
9.) 02 Jul 2024 12:43:37
Would Rooney phoning you not put you off signing for his club? He has no personality when he talks and one look at his managerial record would tell you he won`t be at Plymouth very long.
10.) 02 Jul 2024 13:02:49
Wsl I'd have to agree with you mate, Birmingham were crazy to get rid of Eustace when he had them in the playoff positions, albeit early in the season, and I can't say it's Rooney's fault that their new owners wanted that more glamorous name leading the team but that was a horrendous error in judgement from them.
04 Jun 2024 18:33:37
McCrorie almost a cert to be away. I get the lad wants 1st team football. What i will be dissapointed with is if the club sell him to Aberdeen for a very low fee like what we sold his brother for. when Aberdeen would likely hold rangers to ransom for miovski.
1.) 04 Jun 2024 21:24:13
There's a slight difference Paul - Miovski is a proven goal scorer in Scotland and is an international player. McCrorie has played a handful of games over the past 2 seasons.
22 May 2024 16:23:08
Jefte done deal. Romano confirms.

Anybody remember pre UB etc. There was the brass band ? only just remembered as the french national athem was on tv. Used to sing it for Charbonnier via the brass band.
1.) 11 Oct 2024 15:35:46
Am sure they were called the blue order Paul but yep remember them well.
2.) 11 Oct 2024 18:36:49
G4 you are right but think there was another band before them. not sure though just seem to have a vague memory of reading it somewhere. can't get joy division out of my head now though so no chance of remembering it. What a band though.
3.) 11 Oct 2024 19:20:59
They were superb Angus.
4.) 11 Oct 2024 20:46:56
Joy Division are my favourite band of all time, Angus. If anyone on here hasn't heard of them, go listen to a song called Atmosphere and just enjoy! What a band they were!
5.) 11 Oct 2024 21:55:48
Had a listen just there, weird and like a dirge, but want to listen again, it's kinda ethereal in a hypnotic way? love will tear us apart was the only one I was familiar with tbh, did Paul Young step in for Ian Curtis SS?
6.) 11 Oct 2024 22:00:12
Sunshine, them and pre ure ultravox mate, happy days .
7.) 11 Oct 2024 22:06:35
so good just love it and Ian Curtis voice on it and love the drum back beat. soon as you mentioned it I listened to it again and was reminded how much I liked that song. Control ends on this and no surprise as it is fantastic.
8.) 12 Oct 2024 04:32:51
Sky do a cracking documentary about Ian Curtis and joy division, great television around such a sad topic.
9.) 12 Oct 2024 08:17:43
@Fork. no they stopped being Joy Division when Curtis died and became New Order. Paul Young did a cover of love will tear us apart which might be why you think that.
10.) 12 Oct 2024 09:35:42
I agree sunshine joy division were a cracking band, fronted by the superb ian curtis?god rest his soul ? Curtis was a very deep thinking, gothic style lyricist but what a songwriter he was ?He was a very clever guy ?He had that very deep voice that you just had to keep listening to. Absolutely tragic that the young fella took his own life and just hits home to everyone of us, what mental illness can do and hidden in a lot of cases ??Never can be promoted enough the dangers of mental health issues/ illness and how most definitely it is good to talk ?.
11.) 12 Oct 2024 10:00:08
No, Fork, it was Bernard Sumner who took over vocals and they became New Order. Paul Young done a cover of Love will tear us apart, but that was it.
Yip, some song, Angus. It's strange, but their best known songs were not on the original albums 'Unknown Pleasures' and 'Closer', but have been added later on. For me, the intro to 'Dead Souls' is one of the greatest things ever composed!
I've watched a few documentaries Dado. I can't remember if they were on Sky, Netflix or Amazon. There is a cracking documentary made around the same time as my young brother's passing as one of his songs was 'Love will tear us apart'. Yeah, it was sad in the fact that such a young, and extremely talented guy, had to endure terrible illnesses, both a physical one, and a mental one. As much as I absolutely love the talent of Ian Curtis, there was a dark side to the boy. If you have ever read the biography 'Control', his wife is very open, and it's warts and all-to say she never had it easy with him is an understatement.
Ian Curtis, imo, was one of the most talented individuals to ever live, but like most virtuosos, there was a dark, troubled side to him which ultimately led to his death at only 23.
12.) 12 Oct 2024 10:50:10
Great post sunshine and agree with everything you state there my friend, superb ?.
13.) 12 Oct 2024 11:16:38
Cheers SS knew somebody stepped in for a bit, also didn't know about them becoming New Order, was it Blue Monday and The Beach double side that was massive back in the day??.
14.) 12 Oct 2024 11:59:02
The Jam is my all time best band and Paul Weller is just different class.
15.) 12 Oct 2024 12:21:09
I love The Jam, My star, and they are in my top 3 favourite bands of all time. Infact, 'Down in the tube station' is one of my favourite songs alongside 'In the City'. Just like Joy Division, The Jam were a little bit before my time, so I never had the pleasure of seeing them live. I have, however, seen From the Jam when Foxton and Buckler were both in it, but without Weller, they'll never be 'The Jam'! Foxton, incidentally, was in my other favourite band in my top 3, Stiff little fingers (SLF), and as anyone across the water will testify, they are one of N Irealand's greatest exports. A phenomenal, and very underrated band (within mainstream music) who have influenced many a more famous band over the years.
16.) 12 Oct 2024 12:27:38
SWS agree and the BBC have a short video (on our pages I think) where he covers the mental health issues managers and players face. very short but insightful. keeping a public face whilst struggling along inside>
44 years past May Curtis dies. Getting old as it doesn't seem that long ago.
17.) 12 Oct 2024 12:38:08
Sunshine I thought I read someplace recently that they didn't want fans to be ripped off so they didn't release album songs as singles. Never checked that but might explain why they got added to albums later as they know fans will buy them to have the complete works.
18.) 12 Oct 2024 12:41:37
Same sunshine, I never seen the Jam live, but seen Weller many times mate, snap, down in the tube station is my favourite all time track.
19.) 12 Oct 2024 12:44:57
Love stiff little fingers sunshine, seems we have the same taste in music mate.
20.) 12 Oct 2024 13:38:47
agree my star, saw SLF in a small venue in Aberdeen and what a show.
21.) 12 Oct 2024 13:47:32
We certainly do, My star!
Being from across the water, mate, I take it you know all about the fantastic Punk scene N Irealand had? The likes of Terri Hooley, Good Vibrations, and another phenomenal Punk band, Rudy, being part of a music scene where religion had no place.
22.) 12 Oct 2024 14:03:32
Sunshine and My star, like you guys i really like joy division and the jam myself and ian curtis and paul weller are absolute superb songwriters and great performers and iconic to put it another way ?My question to both of you is this who in your opinion is the more talented singer and songwriter ian curtis V paul weller ?.
23.) 12 Oct 2024 15:04:17
Sunshine, was born NI but grow up in Scotland mate, visited around 6 weeks a year though and do know about it and really like good vibrations.
Sws it's got to be Weller in my opinion and he's still doing it today.
24.) 12 Oct 2024 15:19:14
That's impossible to answer, Coops! Curtis was dead at 23 just as him, and Joy Division were about to explode onto the mainstream in 1980, whereas, Weller has been there since the late 70s right up to today. This is a question, imo, that can't be answered, mate, and nor should it! Both should just be enjoyed for who they were, and who they are, and that's it!
25.) 12 Oct 2024 15:41:59
That's a fair enough, honest answer sunshine but imo going by what i'd actually heard of ian curtis and joy division before the tragic circumstances regarding ian curtis and obviously knowing paul weller even up until now, i would say that ian curtis ever so slightly edges it for me and god only knows what him and joy division would have went on to achieve ??.
26.) 12 Oct 2024 15:44:28
Ok sunshine, as atmosphere is your favourite ian curtis/ joy division song, in your opinion has paul weller/ the jam/ the style council ever done a better song ?.
27.) 12 Oct 2024 16:08:45
Eaton Rifles.
28.) 12 Oct 2024 16:11:30
Jeez, going underground, a town called malice. I'm getting auld and possible dementia?.
29.) 12 Oct 2024 18:28:29
'English Rose' is one of my favourite songs, and alongside Down in the tube station, In the City, and many more Jam songs, could stand up against Joy Division songs, but 'Atmosphere', 'Dead souls', 'Digital', 'Transmission' and 'She's lost control' have that little bit more magic about them. All songs mentioned are very, very special songs, and were a major part of my life growing up.
30.) 12 Oct 2024 18:31:47
You are 100% correct sunshine, I was only going by years covered.
31.) 12 Oct 2024 19:04:04
eaton rifles started my mind on misheard song titles and lyrics (eating rifles) . so in a Paul Young vein: "every time you go away you take a bit of meat with you"
32.) 12 Oct 2024 21:15:29
Absolutely agree sunshine ? they're all special, outstanding songs and both ian curtis and paul weller are pure class ?.
33.) 13 Oct 2024 08:17:46
Paul86, I remember that Brass Band in the 90's, My Wife, Son and I had our Season Tickets in Govan West, and they played constantly in the top tier of the Broomloan Stand, good days, and VERY FEW FINES for the Club.
02 Sep 2024 10:15:25
PC quoted saying diomande was one of thr biggest talents in the danish league. If this is true that league is in serious trouble. Continuously turns into trouble. And for a CM he is extremely lazy. Our scouts are a joke at identifying a good player. there's no way he should be a starter for us. There is not 1 single player in our side that gets even on the celtic bench. Its as simple as that.
1.) 02 Sep 2024 11:02:16
paul, that's another one out the door then soon we won't have a team then.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 11:08:39
So frustrating that we didn't strengthen the midfield totally can't understand that. Dio has been very poor his body shape when recieving is always wrong he turns into trouble and is far to quick to give up the press really can't understand the tactics especially in that area.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 11:14:43
Mohammed Diomande is a great talent and will fetch a large profit.
I am afraid you speak of things you may not truly understand.
More successful players come from Danish League than Scottish and that is fact.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 12:04:16
Dio is an exception talent.
Out biggest problem in the midfield yesterday was Sterling - which isn't a dig at him as he's playing out of position and doesn't have the toolkit to do it.
That closely followed by our inability to hold the ball up front left Dio massively exposed.
Shape and midfield post international break will look much different and I have faith we'll start to see more of what Dio can offer.
5.) 02 Sep 2024 12:25:18
Can you guys seriously go back and watch the game, none of our players were pressing and our midfielders behind him were a shambles getting pulled out of position. Diomande looked frustrated as he genuinely was the only player trying to press and spin his man to make a forward pass.
6.) 02 Sep 2024 12:33:32
Hes had 2 good games for us. that's his 1st to. he's been garbage. If you think he's produced the goods younare delusional. he's been our worst midfielder.
01 Sep 2024 13:08:40
If celent can't figure out how celtic play against us every single game then he needa to go. Attack after attack exactly the same. Bordering on amateur.
1.) 01 Sep 2024 13:23:10
We went at them from the start and played pretty well. Clement can do all the prep that he wants but he cannot account for individual errors. That’s not the managers fault, there was nothing wrong with our start and individual errors have cost us. But I’d be delighted if you could find me a manager that can foresee individual errors prior to each match and eradicate them.
2.) 01 Sep 2024 13:24:20
It sure what you’re expecting from PC. He set us out in the front foot and it looked good. Clearly the players are unable to deliver what the gaffer is asking. Both goals there’s been basic mistakes and a number of them.
01 Sep 2024 12:48:43
We juzt cannot deal with celtic. Embarrassing from matondo sws. he's fast but just let's him go.
18 Aug 2024 09:13:02
Woukd like an update soon on the stadium to put to bed all the celtoc bias social media pages spouting nonsense about asbestos etc. Looks like the work has started moving forward anyway so all the materials must be in uk.
1.) 18 Aug 2024 09:45:14
Any chance we could simply stop talking about the stadium, we all know the story. i'm sure they will let us know in good time.
2.) 18 Aug 2024 10:02:52
Well were talking about how poor the squad is every day. How poor tav, lawrence, matondo etc etc all are every day yet we've known story with them for years.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 10:55:35
Paul mate, you're spot on, this is one of the biggest factors in us not performing as we should be, not everything I know, but important.
4.) 18 Aug 2024 11:16:07
Sima why not speak about it. It’s clearly effecting the club as you just need to look at the attendance for the last 2 games.
5.) 18 Aug 2024 11:52:30
OK sima you can decide what we post and debate on thus site going forward.
6.) 18 Aug 2024 11:57:30
The stadium probably will have asbestos in it. It was built donkeys years ago. Loads of old building shave asbestos in them. Only need to worry aboutt it when it's being removed I think.
7.) 18 Aug 2024 12:17:42
Indeed superalloy. And unfortunately it's having to be removed. Glass half full: it appears today nothing gets built on time or on budget. Hopefully the worst case scenario has taken account of this. Hampden is a nightmare and sooner we are home the better. Kinda wish they had delayed this expense until the team was fully formed.
8.) 18 Aug 2024 14:42:10
FLB, talk about till your blue in the face it won’t change a single aspect about it.
Would you like daily or weekly project completion updates
As a fan I accept the club has messed up and are now doing all they can to ensure the contractors are working hard to claw back some of the delay.
The football club is in a bad place atm both on and off the park but I take consolation that those currently running the football club are also fans and will be well aware of the failings and will be working hard to correct them.
Also as a fan I see every man and his dog having a boot at us while we are down, whether that’s Rodgers, Keevins, Sutton Keown or Wyness and plenty others .
Every Rangers fan that joins in is doing the club a disservice that’s just my opinion, slagging off the board or slaughtering any of the players is not helping at this moment in time.
9.) 18 Aug 2024 15:07:55
Who cares what Celtic and the media say? Get a grip.
10.) 18 Aug 2024 16:29:41
It impacts the club significantly, the constant negative press feeds into the fans and the players. So I think you’re being extremely naive with your comment.
02 Sep 2024 10:42:04
Rabbo he got knock over yesterday got up and just walked back while celtic were attacking.
02 Sep 2024 09:21:38
Clueless phil still has not figured out how to stop celtic playing.
02 Sep 2024 09:19:57
Dessers and tav praying.
30 Aug 2024 20:28:20
Kaiser bejrami better than anything we have ( lawrence) in thr 10 roll.
30 Aug 2024 18:42:14
I woukd take 12 mill tbh.
13 Oct 2024 12:00:07
To be fair sunshine. Bassey was play youth football when we picked him up. Tims got matt o reilly from league 1 mk dons.
12 Oct 2024 22:29:23
If them 3 were our middle 3. Celtic would rip them apart even more than they already do.
11 Oct 2024 22:53:09
U need some experience in there. They would get ripped apart.
11 Oct 2024 14:25:41
Irvger why would barron move on he's already a mainstay in thr side. If your good enough your playing. Leon king is no where near good enough for starting 11.
11 Oct 2024 05:39:49
Top 5 goals. My very 1st game v Aberdeen fri night at Ibrox. Super ally, albertz 2 carbon copy goals v them in the space of days, scott nisbet biggest fluke in europe v brugge, gazza 2nd for 8iar and will throw in Laudrups header for the 9.
