Just read an article about big Katic and a possible return. He is apparently pushing to get a move and only wants to go to Rangers.
Question : Would we be happy to see him back? Thoughts?
1.) 21 Jan 2025 22:00:27
It's a no from me.
2.) 21 Jan 2025 22:19:07
And it's a no from me as well Mark.
3.) 21 Jan 2025 22:46:55
We need a CH who can compete in both boxes, I wouldn't be disappointed to see him back.
4.) 21 Jan 2025 22:59:30
A yes from me as one of our 4 centre backs definetely.
5.) 21 Jan 2025 23:03:12
Nope, can get better and younger for cheaper no doubt.
6.) 21 Jan 2025 23:08:39
Nah . rough as a badger's erse.
7.) 21 Jan 2025 23:23:55
If that's true he must have an inclination that rangers would sign him or otherwise why would you push for a move that's never going to happen.
Or the whole things made up lol.
8.) 22 Jan 2025 00:24:48
MASSIVE . YES.
9.) 22 Jan 2025 04:09:05
Big yes for me. Remember he was a young boy when he was with us. So a lot more experience now.
10.) 22 Jan 2025 05:04:12
Hell no, we need better than him to challenge.
11.) 22 Jan 2025 06:23:47
No. He was rank rotten first time around.
Very limited footballer.
12.) 22 Jan 2025 06:27:47
On the fence, knows the club and full international now and if fee and wages are low enough then I'd normally say why not, but with the emergence of Nsiala, along with Propper, Balogun, Fernandes and Souttar whenever he's due to return do we really need him, plus Sterling can fill in there as well as King, I think it's overkill in that area. A fortnight ago I would've said we needed two ch's but as mentioned Nsiala has stepped up and not looked out of place so I don't think it's wise for the board to sanction something we don't really need now.
13.) 22 Jan 2025 06:56:45
Dreadful player could not trap a bag of cement.
14.) 22 Jan 2025 07:09:03
Guy's a presence n paired well with goldson euro campaign if in decent form good centreback to have on his day better than propper
Knows our game
Could be a decent acquisition.
15.) 22 Jan 2025 07:16:36
We are crying out for a big aggressive CH, make us better on set plays both defensively and in attack. Katic was definitely in that mould but I've not seen him play since he left so not sure what he is like now.
16.) 22 Jan 2025 07:19:19
I liked big Katic when he was here before so I'd have him back. We need some physicality about us.
17.) 22 Jan 2025 08:17:30
It's a yes from me!
People need to remember he was the age of Leon king the last time around!
Yes he was in and out the team. But he was kept out the team by goldson (gerrards fav) worral, and then Helander who set a British record
He's absolutely an upgrade on propper and probably a similar level to Souttar.
18.) 22 Jan 2025 08:37:18
In terms of Katic for me it's more he is likely to be no more than a squad player, unless he has transformed his ball playing skills. So it would need to be a real club friendly deal and Katic being aware of not being the 1st choice defender….
19.) 22 Jan 2025 08:43:26
I haven't watched anything of Katic since he left, so have no idea how he's progressed.
I'd be surprised if this one happened though.
20.) 22 Jan 2025 09:02:28
Katic should be target for us knows the club and the Scottish game and has more experience now it's a no brainer.
21.) 22 Jan 2025 09:55:19
The only thing Katic will be pushing is a Stool.
22.) 22 Jan 2025 10:00:09
Take him back in a heartbeat, gave 100% every time he played. In reply to a comment above, I've never known any footballer anywhere to need to trap a bag of cement.
23.) 22 Jan 2025 10:03:50
I'm on the fence too just got a skelf on my arse.
24.) 22 Jan 2025 10:35:59
He's better than Souttar!
25.) 22 Jan 2025 10:59:15
GDog he's better than Souttar you after a laugh?
26.) 22 Jan 2025 10:59:26
He's not that great either the ball at his feet we usually play ball playing cb's. Would be good to see him back imo as he offers something different.
27.) 22 Jan 2025 11:16:57
This is agent driven rather than Rangers driven.
What I would say is, and its only my opinion.
He is a player that knows the club, knows the league and can handle the physicality.
Something Clement highlighted recently was our lack of height/ size at set pieces - Katic would certainly help address this.
At 28 years old he's in his prime, a full international for Bosnia and has played in European group competition in 2 of the last 3 seasons with Zurich. he's 3 years younger than Propper and 8 years younger than Balogun.
On paper, I don't think this is a bad option.
But just to be clear, the player and his agent want this move and there is no indication as of yet that the club are pursuing it.
28.) 22 Jan 2025 11:18:22
Yes from me, he was younger and less experienced first time around, has gained valuable experience and watching him a few times since he left he seems to command a lot better, let's be honest what have we to lose, waiting for the snipers now.
29.) 22 Jan 2025 11:27:20
My Star, for me he's better than Souttar. Yes!
Souttar this season has been solid. Katic is quite similar but better with his feet. He's also way better than he was first time round. Souttar has offered nothing until this season and now he's injured again. Before this season he was a fricken bombscare!
You don't agree, that's cool.
30.) 22 Jan 2025 11:41:27
GDod if you think Katic is better than Souttar cool, I believe Souttar is just a different level of cb.
31.) 22 Jan 2025 11:50:05
He's a big lump, liked the guy but no. Even in our position we can get a more technical player who's younger.
32.) 22 Jan 2025 12:06:42
Katic as outstanding in champions league last year if I remember against some very good teams. Would have him in a heartbeat.
33.) 22 Jan 2025 12:16:23
We are crying out for a big CB that can tackle, turn quickly, play the ball out from the back. Katic is none of these.
34.) 22 Jan 2025 13:13:41
Laudbear, was Katic even playing in the champions league last season?
35.) 22 Jan 2025 13:16:44
I've been a big fan of Souttar since his Dundee Utd days. I think he's a very solid CB for the level we are at. Big injuries have held him back. Finally, this season we have seen the best of him. Playing on his favoured side certainly helps. He was becoming a leader we desired on the park.
I think people who doubted his ability, are now seeing how much of a solid defender he actually is. Since he's been injured we've conceded goals like never before this season. Looking forward to him returning at the start of February, because we've missed him.
36.) 22 Jan 2025 13:37:07
It's settled then, good. we don't know . He's somewhere between an outshshanding beautiful world beater (as Brendan would blurt out) and a big useless slow lump, but could be either, expert football knowledge always nice to see and hear .
37.) 22 Jan 2025 13:56:33
I have not seen him play since he was here but I would like to think he has worked on his game and improved. I think Katic would be good defensively and give us a goal threat at corners. Not the worst idea.
38.) 22 Jan 2025 14:22:04
Too ok all the ones against Katic, we're yous also against Craig Moore coming back to rangers based on his 1st spell?
39.) 22 Jan 2025 14:29:49
Better than soutter ??never in a million years is he better than soutter.
40.) 22 Jan 2025 14:31:20
Katic better with his feet? Used to have a heart attack when the ball got passed back to him he has a horrible first touch and his distribution was horrendous.
41.) 22 Jan 2025 15:00:53
Katic is a better defender than souttar but souttar is better with the ball. That's my opinion of the 2.
I'd like to have both next season and hopefully cash in on souttar the following year.
Katic was best player on the park against Arsenal in Europe 2 year ago.
He's a far better player than when we had him. He's 28 which is now prime for a cb and in fact may still get better.
He's not a 21 yo kid anymore which people forget when talking about him.
Remember Craig Moore young compared to advocaat n MacLeish.
42.) 22 Jan 2025 15:37:17
Katic is nowhere near the level of souttar an just shows you how much some of our fans are clueless.
It's amazing what scoring a goal against Celtic can do for a player katic was woeful at best.
43.) 22 Jan 2025 15:38:16
Stevie Moore and katic are two different players it's like comparing apples and oranges.
44.) 22 Jan 2025 16:01:02
Dint think they're so different in style storm. Think they're similar in style mate. Obviously Katic not in big oz league in talent but I rated oz one of the best around when he played for us for a few year period.
Katic now could very well offer that talent and truth is none of us know, I'm going off a few games I've seen and others are going off his first stint.
So none of us truly know.

Jordan booked in for a medical Tuesday, with two rooms booked out Tues and Wed at One Devonshire.
Welcome to Glasgow Katie Price aka Jordan.
???.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 09:27:10
Nice foolmonty? and she would help the team as she plays with two big strikers up top too.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 09:35:21
One of them rooms is bound to be lennon miller?? All gone quiet on that front.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 09:57:17
Dont cry into your cornflakes in the morning when oreilly paraded in a BLUE N WHITE brighton top.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 10:00:47
Why would Miller need a room.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 10:18:31
Fife - because he doesn't want to share with Mucky Mansions Jordan - thought it would be obvious?.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 10:37:40
Jordan could play two false number nines.
7.) 25 Aug 2024 11:00:23
Still blue, he certainly could. Hope he doesn't make a diddy of himself though.
8.) 25 Aug 2024 11:08:12
If Jordan doesn't sign, the Foolmonty, then you're going to look like a right big, silicon, implanted t*t! ?.
9.) 25 Aug 2024 11:18:18
Mate of mine saw Katie Price heading north on the M6 in the pink ‘rover. Are you you sure about which Jordan? ?.
10.) 25 Aug 2024 12:25:04
She be able to take the full team on herself for 90 mins. No a bad shout lol.
11.) 25 Aug 2024 12:45:14
Correct Paul it has I wonder why ? and Carluke has went missing also.
12.) 25 Aug 2024 12:55:20
Jordan may prefer one of the Bristols.
13.) 25 Aug 2024 13:03:55
Aye he's not been on for a bit, hope alls well.
14.) 25 Aug 2024 18:07:25
Fork I had my doubts about him.
Especially with the miller carry on.
15.) 25 Aug 2024 19:09:38
Possible bud, seems to have disappeared after the lapdancing story at the first kiev game?.
16.) 25 Aug 2024 19:48:35
Did Jordan (Price) not get over friendly with one of our hero’s from yesterday, the late great Fernando.
17.) 26 Aug 2024 04:28:34
Think Jordan (Price) would do a job for us . Hand, blow, toe whatever it takes.
09 Aug 2024 09:30:58
Cantwell to Trabzonspor imminent ?.
1.) 09 Aug 2024 10:41:37
?Here's hoping they've got deep pockets!
Maybe they'll come back in for Tav after all and collect the set.
2.) 09 Aug 2024 11:19:33
TAV is not leaving!
3.) 09 Aug 2024 11:29:15
Changing their name to Trabzonspor Rangers.
4.) 09 Aug 2024 11:44:58
He clearly has no future with us.
5.) 09 Aug 2024 12:07:29
Because nobody wants him Gdog. Davies and Matondo are not leaving either!
6.) 09 Aug 2024 12:17:49
Cantwell needs to go and hagi wants to go to Spain.
Hurry up lads.
You will miss us more than we miss you.
7.) 09 Aug 2024 12:24:17
Perhaps they'd like to pair him up with one Mr Ianis Hagi?
8.) 09 Aug 2024 12:33:51
A wish him the best, not everyone can handle the pressure of Rangers especially when we are second best at end of season (that hurts), you put yer head down and work hard and do ure talking when u are on top, win the league and the fans will treat you like a God otherwise clamp up.
9.) 09 Aug 2024 12:41:31
Gdog we know unfortunately as he needs to as he isn’t good enough.
10.) 09 Aug 2024 13:18:25
We could crowdfund moving Matondo to the Welsh league, the only time he doesn't fall on his arse is when leaving the bench but at some point he will crash in to a linesman . Who was responsible for him and why didn't they consider why Schalke were prepared to lose £11m just to get rid, we should sue the halfwit responsible . He is endangering some auld buddy in row Z with his attempts at goal.
11.) 09 Aug 2024 14:34:34
Cantwell training with first team today.
12.) 09 Aug 2024 16:58:07
He will find a club but we ain't getting much more than we paid for him, probably less actually because in his current situation it's a buyers market for sure.
13.) 10 Aug 2024 12:27:08
Maybe a change of heart or just them letting g him in to training to say his goodbyes.
17 Jul 2024 20:48:58
Seen some reports that we've made an improved wages offer for, the Spanish boy, Jordan. ?.
1.) 17 Jul 2024 21:30:09
We must have received a donation from someone as we have openly said we have no cash?
2.) 17 Jul 2024 22:39:31
We didn't say we had no cash. The amount of people that don't posses critical thought is absolutely startling. We cannot just add and add players and wages though it's completely reckless. We need to get rid of the dead wood. It's a completely different issue. Jeez.
3.) 17 Jul 2024 22:52:07
Does Anyone Else Not See A Problem How Many Midfielders We Have Bearing In Mind Hagi raskin cantwell Diomande barron Lawrence Dowell sterling wright lowry
Need To Move Players On SOON.
4.) 18 Jul 2024 00:50:58
Yea midfield is bloated and full of squad players. Diomande Raskin Barron only 3 i'm keeping i'd love to get rid of the rest and sign a new 6 and 10. McKinnon and Rice as our backups.
5.) 18 Jul 2024 02:08:01
Number 10 position is bloated but the other areas of midfield aren’t .
No.10s
Cantwell
Hagi
Lawrence
Dowell
Lowry
Lammers (? )
The rest of midfield
Raskin
Dio
Barron
McKinnon
Rice
In an ideal world we’d have 6 with a couple of the younger ones pushing (McKinnon and Rice)
6.) 18 Jul 2024 07:56:02
Startling? Take your head out the sand man! Alarm bells are ringing for most sensible fans. There’s no sugar coating this one.
7.) 18 Jul 2024 08:19:40
Nail on the head Rabbi, couldn’t agree more.
8.) 18 Jul 2024 09:30:43
Yately your wrong no1 said that but we can't j7st add to the squad without moving players on.
9.) 18 Jul 2024 10:42:17
Lately ears must be painted on.
10.) 18 Jul 2024 12:36:59
Its amazing how people add names to fit the narrative. Sterling is a defender, who can play midfield if needed and Wright has never played midfield at any time for us. Hagi will go, is hard to sell him when he has been on holiday and who knows whether Lowry is even in the picture but up to now we wouldn`t include him as part of our midfield squad . In my opinion if we play two deep lying midfielders like we did last season we are actually 1 short as we need 4 not 3 but I do agree we have 3 players for the No 10 role and we need rid of Dowell and Lawrence who are always injured and rotten when they are fit. Cantwell and Lowry to compete for this role and if Lowry is deemed not up to it we need to sign someone.
11.) 18 Jul 2024 13:40:20
Wslger4ever does lowry get paid? Yes? Then he's part of the squad simple
I get what your saying on Wright and sterling
Although I would say sterling was used more in midfield than at right back
On wright I get he's considered a winger but also an attacking midfielder
If tav stays can you honestly tell me sterling will get more games at right back than midfield.
12.) 18 Jul 2024 13:42:10
That's another thing we need to stop with the two deep lying mids in Scotland it's too negative when we are the team on front foot most of the time posteglu showed what happens in this league if your positive.
Fair enough for Europe but not for scotland.
13.) 18 Jul 2024 13:47:34
I was also someone who didn't see it with raskin and thought he would be no better than a decent spl player and I think Barton will go and prove that this season.
14.) 18 Jul 2024 18:50:56
RFC, Lowry will be paid a reserve players wages so if you are counting him as part of the over load in midfield you might as well count all the boys from the B team in that position too. Sterling is a defender who was pushed into midfield due to an injury crisis and in fact after Diomande arrived very rarely if ever played there, in fact he played on the right wing more. Wright is not and has never been an attacking midfielder. If Tav stays I reckon Sterling will be used as cover right across the defence and possibly in midfield too depending on injuries and tactics required .
16 Jul 2024 19:53:27
Wee question for the guys in the know MyStar, Copland, John etc.
Do you know if the club are likely to make an improved loan offer for, the Spanish boy, Joan Jordan?
1.) 16 Jul 2024 20:51:13
I highly doubt we will for a deal to be agreed they will have to be willing to pay more of his wages than they want to.
2.) 16 Jul 2024 21:09:40
Yes I already confirmed prior to Romano saying that he was wanted by us. We are negotiating wage payments. Sevilla want him to leave as they have already replaced him.
3.) 16 Jul 2024 22:01:51
Another Ramsay/ Diallo/ Silva. These loan players can't get a game at the clubs they are at . so why bother paying wages for a player we will ultimately never own?!?!?
4.) 16 Jul 2024 22:12:38
I totally believe this one is a goer.
We want him, Sevilla want him to leave. And he must have made signs he wants the move to us if we’re as far down the line as a 2nd wage offer.
5.) 16 Jul 2024 22:25:14
Diallo Played 12 times for Man U and had a decent loan season at Sunderland would have him back at ranger on loan in a heartbeat.
6.) 16 Jul 2024 22:40:15
GMS thays usually how most loans happen. The parent club doesn't see them featuring or they are trying to sell them.
7.) 16 Jul 2024 22:52:12
Think with how high his wages are the guys point is there is very little chance of us signing him afterwards even if we do get him on loan it's very short sited.
8.) 16 Jul 2024 23:12:51
Thats great. he done hee haw for us tho. Scored on his debut against Ross County, that was about it!
9.) 16 Jul 2024 23:54:31
Could say the same about Sima GMS, every player different.
10.) 17 Jul 2024 07:44:05
So we currently can't sign players n supposed too have lost out on a few deal according to ffp n high earners according too some, so let's get a loan for another high earner, these guys don't work n are over inflated in other leages, guys like
Ra. sy.
11.) 17 Jul 2024 07:50:57
Ext silva we don't learn why not put our money into our own players n stop wasting high wages n loan agreements that have no end game ie loan to buy don't work
Silva supposed too be worth 30 odd mill
Now honestly hand on heart would emdy say so
N yeah some might just work but recently bar sima but according too some as stated above our high wage structure n ffp what's maby killing n killed future potential deals.
12.) 17 Jul 2024 09:24:05
So, we can't get rid of half a dozen because their wages are apparently too high! We are desperate to get the wage bill down for FFP reasons, But we are willing to take a loan at 30k ish per week? .
13.) 17 Jul 2024 09:59:29
I don't see it as shortsighted, i see it as we need experience in the middle of the park and that he has, top notch cm only a couple of years ago only turned 30 start of this month, Roofe costs us more wages last season, I'm all for it and our club feels the same after what i heard yesterday.
14.) 17 Jul 2024 10:41:54
Agreed my star, 30 is short sighted but bringing davo back at what, 35/ 3 ended up being one of our best midfield signings in however many years. no substitute for quality.
15.) 17 Jul 2024 11:56:14
GMS, with the exception of our keeper, I doubt that there is anyone currently on our books that would get a game for Sevilla or for most top teams in the Spanish and Italian leagues. the quality of most of the players we signed under Wilson and Park etc., as with the wages we pay is shocking.
16.) 17 Jul 2024 12:13:05
Did someone actually say Diallo, it's verging on nuts here now?
17.) 17 Jul 2024 12:35:57
Rangers are prepared to cover his wages, only thing that could stop it is other clubs in better leagues that want him on loan as well.
18.) 19 Jul 2024 14:24:07
Monty lol I get copland he's a very reliable poster and John also has good info now and then even if he's a little aggressive more recently
But mystar in the know really! Lol he definitely good for tactics and team talk and 100% knows his football ill give you that but definitely wouldn't say in the know as in club inside info.

Clement admitted back in December that he had no credit in the bank with the fans. The result in the old firm game and europa performances gave him some credit back but that result today should 'bankrupt' him in terms of any credit. Time for the board to earn some credit and do the right thing. No manager, never mind Clement, should survive that result today.
12 Jan 2025 15:56:34
Great piece on RTV at half time speaking to David Holmes. An absolute gentleman and a great businessman and visionary. Was a Falkirk fan to start with too.
27 Nov 2024 17:06:19
So the new CEO doesn't officially take office til 16th December. Smart move, imo, as his first job could be sacking Clement.
Could also have got any new manager off to a bad start if he was in charge before then. (if results against Spurs and 'Them' were negative. )
01 Sep 2024 11:27:44
I just hope we show up. If we can deal with the Maeda threat, press their midfield shutting down any shooting opportunities and take our chances we'll be fine.
21 Aug 2024 22:03:12
Kiev getting turned over at home to Salzburg.
A case of what could have been if it wasnt for a very poor refereeing display. ?.

12 Feb 2025 21:50:04
Exactly MyStar, some fans getting their hopes up of a Gerard return when, in reality, there is not a hells chance he's coming back without a decent amount to spend.
It just isn't going to happen.
03 Feb 2025 18:43:17
No further transfer business to be done by us this evening. We can all go to bed at a decent time, no need to wait up!
01 Feb 2025 23:59:11
The Bobby Clark rumour keeps cropping up. Loan deal looks the only viable option as Liverpool have a 17.5% sell on clause and/ also a matching bid buy back option on the boy.
30 Jan 2025 19:52:30
The Cerny deal would have to be along the same lines as the Tilman deal, I imagine, with Wolfsburg recalling and them compensating us for the trouble. No?
I can't see it happening tbh.
30 Jan 2025 14:44:46
Love it OWS, Everton won't be signing him this window as the fee is too high.
So if its too high just now it will, all going well, be even higher in the summer.

If you were looking at our Europa record you would say we are a counter attacking team that gets lucky on occasion. Our domestic style, on the other hand, is open to anybodys interpretation. A mixed bag.
