John27 or Copeland front
You guys picking anything up that we will submit a bid for shankland at all?
Or is the rumours way off?
1.) 31 Jan 2024 12:47:13
I don't think we were ever in for him. Just paper talk from the start.
2.) 31 Jan 2024 12:48:04
I don't think we were ever in for him. Just paper talk from the start.
3.) 31 Jan 2024 13:18:56
We won't be making a move or signing shankland Thestigno1 ?I doubt very much that clement wants to sign him ?He certainly wouldn't pay what hearts are asking for him, even if he was remotely interested in him at all, won't be happening mate ?.
4.) 31 Jan 2024 13:30:05
False again Walter.
5.) 31 Jan 2024 13:33:50
Stig absolutely nothing from my sources.
6.) 31 Jan 2024 13:37:38
If we do sign Shankland he certainly wasn't Clement first choice.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 14:16:22
Ok thanks guys
Thanks John ?.
8.) 31 Jan 2024 14:19:22
They have both said we are not going for shanks.
9.) 31 Jan 2024 16:20:05
Ok guys is nor signing a striker,
A. Negligence from the club as its painfully obvious we needed one. or
B. No one available that fits our style, budget or not what Clement wants.
Be interesting to hear thoughts on this.
I certainly don't want us to go out and sign Shankland as a panic last minute buy just to get one through the door.
10.) 31 Jan 2024 16:56:57
Over the years the gers have done fantastic last minute deals. I think that will happen with shankland. If he never signed the last contract offer he won't sign this one. He's rangers through and through. This could be his only chance to play for his boyhood team.
11.) 31 Jan 2024 18:27:31
Yeah why would we want to sign a striker who's scored 20 goals in all competitions.
12 Jan 2024 15:23:01
Hi guys
Anymore on the yilmaz deal going through. Knew from the moment he came he wouldn't last long here made no major impact and doesn't show signs he will make it here in Scotland. how he does also where is irrelevant it's what players do for Rangers whilst here under contract that interests me and he has never cut the mustard unfortunately wish all the best but it was never going to work out from the minute I seen him not suited to our game.
1.) 12 Jan 2024 15:31:49
Stig that hurt my head trying to read that.
2.) 12 jan 2024 15:40:28
you and me both stig, very strange signing in the first place, new within 2 games he would never be a rangers permanent lb, boy has talent but nowhere near what's required.
3.) 12 Jan 2024 15:41:16
Stingo Yilmaz is a quality footballer thinking over wise tells me enough.
4.) 12 Jan 2024 15:49:05
Yeah that's a head scratcher trying to work the post out mate.
5.) 12 Jan 2024 15:50:24
Pissing myself here Tom, not good enough for Rangers lol man, you having a laugh? Yilmaz will play in the best of leagues on the planet, but he's not good enough for Scotland hope that's a joke, but saying that you said that after 90 minutes mate ?.
6.) 12 jan 2024 15:54:22
unbelievable, what do you mean by that really, you mean that you know better than stig,
really i guaranteed you yilmaz would not be here end of jan, you were apoplectic, you must have posted hundreds of times about this one guym i even remember telling you that i believed you were becoming obsessed with the boy, and not for the first time i have to say.
yilmaz had about 140 to 180 decent minutes for rangers, almost every game he was not good enough, i told you he would be gone, you became quite angry and upset and its strange to see someone posting the same thing about 30 times a day, he's gone, he wasn't good enough, now he's at a lower quality italian club
get over it mate , i really worry about the obsession you have with telling us about how you can see how good a player is, so can i
and i didn't see it in yilmaz.
7.) 12 Jan 2024 15:57:13
Tom absolutely
My star opinions vary!
Not sure who your first team at heart is? mine is Rangers football club and I and likewise Rangers fans I know only want the best possible players playing for us and helping the club win silverware and being successful doesn’t matter who the player is and what talent you may think they have if they don’t do it for our club and can’t help us achieve what we all want then their no use to us and wasting time paying their wage to sit idly by is of no use
Sorry I want successful players who will make a difference Yilamz has fallen short in this category and and I trust the manager moving him on thanks ?.
8.) 12 Jan 2024 16:01:54
He is good enough and proving that he is good enough just now but the boy wants away. So can’t keep a player that’s not settled. Tho I have no idea what the stig has posted.
9.) 12 Jan 2024 16:02:15
My star you know i agree with you on yilmaz but I always wonder why a poster goes in with heavy criticism on a player that appears to be showing form.
Suspect if you ask me.
If they can’t see that he’s a young player leaving his country behind for the first time and needs a little trust from our fans not hate then it’s pointless debating with them.
10.) 12 Jan 2024 16:06:26
If Yilmaz leaves too Italy he will end up in one of their top teams in a season or two, he played four games in a row for us and got better every game, always looking forward and him coming into the midfield with runs really opened up teams unfortunately a think him leaving was agreed upon a while ago.
11.) 12 Jan 2024 16:08:05
The kid is a good player with bags n bags of potential.
12.) 12 Jan 2024 16:17:31
The boy failed to prove himself with 3 managers or the fans he was good enough to be our 1st choice LB the fact we are prepared to allow him to leave on a loan if you read reports tells you he's not good enough.
13.) 12 Jan 2024 16:18:09
My star if he’s that good why we off loading?
as I say who cares how he does else where didn’t do it here and our manager obviously thinks the same
So what you trying to say is our manager is wrong?
What has he done since his arrival he-haw?
Who signed him again was it GVB how any games under him and Beale did he get and now Clement moving on?
That’s 3 managers who barley played him and the 3rd offloading him in what around a year and a bit at the club
?
Sound s a bit like you super Star ⭐️ ?.
14.) 12 Jan 2024 16:28:10
Yilmaz is a quality player and has also played at International level with Turkey, and since joining Rangers he has not had an extended run in the team for various reasons, namely Barasic and injury.
If he moves to Italy it’s a step up in terms of the league but not the club he is reportedly linked with.
Hopefully his future is sorted out soon for both him and Rangers.
15.) 12 Jan 2024 16:39:20
Tom is seems you're very clueless on Yilmaz as a footballer to me mate.
16.) 12 Jan 2024 16:41:40
Stingo you're coming over as clueless as Tom mate, Yilmaz is a quality footballer.
17.) 12 Jan 2024 16:59:51
Gofor I think the trip is for a lot more than just the training side to it. Gets the players together for a week to bond and allow new players to integrate further.
18.) 12 Jan 2024 17:28:24
Onewalter he ain’t failed with PC tho and it’s because he wants to leave he hasn’t settled. Think this boy will do just fine in his career.
My star apart from tt as he took an instant dislike to the boy the rest are just saying he ain’t good enough because they know he is leaving. They would change their tune if he stayed.
Also injuries have not helped him and he is a young boy in a different country. Some people are just clueless IMO.
19.) 12 Jan 2024 17:58:11
Thestigno1, we're possibly offloading yilmaz because he wants to leave, nothing to do with how good he is and i think he is good ?For me, i agree with My star, that yilmaz is a better left back than josh doig ? He'll go on to be a terrific left back imo ?.
20.) 12 Jan 2024 18:14:40
Yilmaz has been a Turkish international at every level since 16.
That does not happen if you don't have quality, Simple.
Considering the options they have to choose from.
We should not be letting him go already, it's a mistake for sure if we do.
he will only get better and better from now going forward.
All he needed was a run and a manager that could give him a bit of confidence and help him settle in more, you can see it his last few performances, now we are seeing the real Yilmaz the same talent and ability that GVB clearly seen.
A friend asked me after i sent him the highlights of the Kilmarnock game, who's the new guy on the left lmfao, of course, That is Yilmaz mate the young talented Turkish lad iv'e been telling you about for a while ;)
Remeber Barisic didn't settle in for a while either and was pretty average until he adjusted.
Give Yilmaz the same chance at least.
21.) 12 Jan 2024 18:31:14
OWS the majority of fans want him to stay, especially with barisic being the parasite be is.
Those who don't are of the rangers da mentality.
22.) 12 jan 2024 19:28:46
gofor, you really take it down to the most ridiculous levels,
the fans thoughts don't matter, the managers does
again never a rangers lb.
23.) 12 Jan 2024 19:41:44
Another 'bealy56 quality player' failed. The coop curse has been replaced with the bealy56 curse.
24.) 12 Jan 2024 19:47:11
TT, I think you know that I coached and scouted for a number of years, so here's my tuppence worth on Yilmaz. He is a good player who will have a decent career as a pro. Sadly, he has physical and mental limitations, and while he has gained a few caps, he is not of the level I would recommend for Rangers. Plus, I do believe he wants to leave, so maybe that's for the best.
25.) 12 Jan 2024 20:44:42
My star and a few others are really missing the point!
It doesn't matter how good or not good a player is if he’s unhappy and not playing his best football and I haven’t seen anything of the sorts to say he would be a superstar for us then the manager is doing the correct thing moving him on.
On my previous posts up above I’ve clearly stated I’ve no interest in players not willing to play their best or show their best for the club and yilmaz as I’ve previously said has fallen short on this comes nowhere near some of the great left back to have graced our club and some hyping him up as a messiah.
he’s done nothing special. Get a grip of yourselves because a poster has a varying opinion doesn’t mean they're clueless.
My star, your so rude and down right cheeky at times in here. Honestly pal, get a grip. There are others on here who don’t agree with me, but they stop short with the name calling and using words like clueless.
26.) 12 Jan 2024 21:05:46
Coldo it’s embarrassing you saying anyone has failed on here when you are on yer 25th name change ? you couldn’t mark your neck with a blow torch and you are a tim.
27.) 12 Jan 2024 21:15:04
I don’t think the bonding thing works the way it used to and people in close proximity for so long without escape can have the opposite effect. Some people need breathing room people that will bond and be friends will always find each other whether it’s Spain or Scotland.
Look at what happened to us after Dubai trip, form fell off and has done a couple times now after warm weather training camps.
28.) 12 Jan 2024 21:17:45
On yilmaz I do thing he’s good enough and quality player like mystar thinks
But I also see how selling makes sense I just don’t think we should underestimate the value we are talking about turkeys possible left back for years
Injury and players desire to stay is a concern though and for me tips the scale to sell.
29.) 12 Jan 2024 21:32:53
mystar, is yilmaz your love child. Seen you bigging him up about 50 times today ?.
30.) 12 jan 2024 22:16:23
hubby, exactly my thoughts
this star/ bealy guy is losing the plot
warrior, you have a long long history of holding grudges.
31.) 12 Jan 2024 23:36:10
How can you call Borna a parasite ts72, maybe you can criticise some of his performances, but we paid 2m for a croatian international, some great goals and many many amazing assists. Got our moneys worth, but disrespectful to call him a parasite.
32.) 13 Jan 2024 05:06:15
TT I only ever use your initials but you can’t even do that for me on here and it’s me with the grudge ?♂️delusional ?.
14 Nov 2023 11:15:47
@ John27
Morning John I saw a post you put in about some maybe disappointed in the recruitment of the DOF
And then I saw you post about the possibility of John Robertson possibly coming to us
So question is, have you possibly heard our next DOF is going to be John Robertson?
1.) 14 Nov 2023 13:45:53
Robertson not as dof. Stigno.
2.) 14 Nov 2023 13:58:32
My Mrs uses the same hairdresser as Todd Cantwell and she says that she says that he says naw….
3.) 14 Nov 2023 14:05:46
Ah right kl
Thanks John27.
4.) 14 Nov 2023 14:13:35
Stuarty- does Todd jump oot the hairdressers chair and shove her when he doesn't like the close attention for his highlights? Just asking for a friend in the SFA???.
5.) 14 Nov 2023 14:18:37
What capacity is john robertson coming to rangers in then John227?.
6.) 14 Nov 2023 15:12:56
SWS who said Robertson was coming to Rangers?
7.) 14 Nov 2023 17:01:41
A possible coach?
8.) 14 Nov 2023 18:14:42
He was interviewed with two others re a coaching role.
9.) 14 Nov 2023 20:48:24
Do you know who the other two candidates that were interviewed are John227?
10.) 14 Nov 2023 21:41:27
Robbie neilson was one of them monty,
11.) 15 Nov 2023 03:03:22
Monty my understanding Nielsen Robertson Davidson although couple others say mcall and not Davidson.
12.) 15 Nov 2023 05:24:05
So is one of those 3 getting a rangers coaching position ?.
13.) 15 Nov 2023 07:53:45
Walter time will tell. Suppose how interview went. Obviously won’t b Nielsen.
14.) 15 Nov 2023 08:02:37
I’d read elsewhere that the b team coach davie mccallum, is that his name? Is leaving in summer.
Perhaps the interviews are in relation to replacing him.?
Any info on that possibility John or anyone?
15.) 15 Nov 2023 08:49:02
Yes mcallum is moving on.
16.) 15 Nov 2023 10:39:39
D McCallum is a great guy known him since we were 7 tho don’t seem him much these days.
17.) 15 Nov 2023 15:31:42
It would be a massive bonus if we had a quality head coach in charge of b team.
Someone of the quality of neilson, Davidson etc
It could offer them a pathway to first team in future similar to European clubs.
If that’s what we’re trying to do is lure a quality experienced coach to the b team with incentives then that’s a massive step in the right direction.
01 Oct 2023 21:45:24
Wow had been watching a wee movie with the kids and phone was in room charging
Just came through and it a lit up
I'm actually genuinely surprised the board did act so quickly and swiftly if anything thought it might have been during this week wow
See his whole back room team are also gone
It has to be done unfortunately it's a results driven business and they were not delivering the results expected
Wish Michael Beale and his team all the best but it is the best for our club they have been removed tonight and well done to the board for acting
best of luck to Steven Davis and Alex Rae and Co
Let's see what they will do what tactics they will set up with and what players they use and what positions etc
they have no loyalties too any players and will only play the players ready for the fight ahead Davo knows what the club is about so does Alex and I'm sure they will be right into these players and telling them In no uncertain terms 100% effort is what we all expect
It's not where we want to be but right now this is the best outcome and I'm now excited to see what davo and Alex can do to galvanise the squad and get through the Europe league games and Continue our cup run hopefully
Whilst getting better results in the league
never a dull moment at Ibrox is their
let's all get behind the new interim management team and players and see what they can do until the board decide what the next steps will be
???.
1.) 01 Oct 2023 22:21:03
Lovely.
2.) 01 Oct 2023 22:27:41
Let’s just see what happens. My expectations for the foreseeable are going to be kept to a minimum given how many times rangers have let us down.
3.) 02 Oct 2023 02:57:58
Whatever happens people should remember they have inherited a team with no proper wingers so need to give them a fair chance if they are in contention.
4.) 02 Oct 2023 06:56:09
Money should not get in the way of the right appointment - crap manager then crap team - most important signing of all is the manager so if it is 2m a year or even 3m so be it even if it means one less signing in Jan - the boss is the key to any success ??????.
5.) 02 Oct 2023 06:57:24
David, my expectation levels have dipped so far in the last 12 months, I'll just wait and see what happens next.
26 Sep 2023 10:51:47
For information purposes
Jim Mcallister was let go because he was taking some tops and handing them out to folk not for money or gain
I think from what I've heard this happens across a lot of clubs the kitman can take a few tops and hand them out it's only now in our club it was used as excuse to let him go
If he does go to Saudi he makes his money comes back better off financially as far as I heard he is still debating the offer for family reasons
Just to put it out there he's not a bad guy in sense.
1.) 26 Sep 2023 11:17:25
Thanks for that Stig.
We all know things like this happen, players giving family members training kits to wear
Listen rangers get all that gear for nothing anyway as part of kit deal. It’s unlimited training gear.
2.) 26 Sep 2023 11:31:26
The theft accusation are apparently true along with Bisgrove accusing Jim of pestering players for stuff, but the players have refuted this allegation and back Jim.
C'mon, does anyone really think Stevie G would be trying to take Jim to Saudi Arabia if he was a thief? It's not exactly the most receptive of places to thieves, is it?
3.) 26 Sep 2023 11:34:30
It's a hard one because if it continues it becomes a culture. Club may be setting a president.
4.) 26 Sep 2023 11:45:56
Someone said below he was taking tactics and data sheets. Two maybe it goes beyond just pieces of kit.
I remember someone was leaking Celtic’s info from the training ground online and it was compromising and embarrassing for that club on the whole. That was the piece of paper that famously said they wanted Joe Aribo. We can’t have that here.
5.) 26 Sep 2023 11:48:52
Raise, do u really think rangers would sack someone for theft if it never happened.
6.) 26 Sep 2023 11:55:54
Maybe they just want rid of him. Doesn’t fit anymore who knows. At least he lasted a while. Some players after 6 weeks clearly don’t fit and they never cost us a high salary.
7.) 26 Sep 2023 12:08:29
Verdant I can say with absolute certainty that’s false mate
Everyone knows Jim in his home town he’s lovely guy and would have no Need to be doing that mate nor would he
someone making up lies mate 100%.
8.) 26 Sep 2023 12:16:20
I could be wrong Verdant, but I think the poster was taking the p with his post? ?.
9.) 26 sep 2023 12:18:00
lol 55, i can't trump that mate
i have many peices of kit from rangers, and both goram and jim leighton gloves, i had contacts in aberdeen and a few other clubs, it wasn't unusual at all, has to be another reason, nobody will tell me jimmy bell hasn't handed put gear either, because i have strips under glass in my man cave direct from jimmy.
10.) 26 Sep 2023 12:27:07
We'll see John, because apparently it's going to court.
You've obviously heard a few things on this John, so surely you know that Jimmy Bell's family are backing Jim, so much so, that they have removed a number of Jimmy's collection stuff, memorabilia etc that belongs to the Bell family from the training centre?
11.) 26 Sep 2023 12:36:18
If Rangers sacked McAlister for theft and he didn`t do it, he would have sued them for wrongful dismissal unless he was paid off to go quietly . I can`t see anybody taking a payoff if they were accused of being a thief and didn`t do it. I don`t know anything about it but either he did do it, maybe by going further than he was allowed to or he left for some other reason. Maybe when he was asked to step in for the late, great Jimmy Bell, he wasn`t up to it, who knows.
12.) 26 sep 2023 12:37:31
and raisetheroofe, i've found your posts very good myself, john says this has gone downhill recently and he is wp0% correct but o enjoy your input.
13.) 26 Sep 2023 12:37:49
There’s no chance of him stealing tactics from Michael Beale…. maybe he got caught trying to return some.
14.) 26 Sep 2023 12:39:23
I have a friend who claims to play golf with Jim before and he says I can get tops signed by players if you want one signed.
15.) 26 Sep 2023 12:50:35
Cheers stig. Seems strange to move him on without a warning.
16.) 26 Sep 2023 13:06:11
Oops! …sorry tactics and team player position theft was meant as banter due to the way MB sets the team out. Never thought I’d have to explain that one but there you go?.
17.) 26 Sep 2023 13:09:42
Thank you Tom, very much appreciated. It's also good to see you back and contributing my friend.
18.) 26 Sep 2023 13:17:52
Ausbear got to admit I laughed at that.
19.) 26 Sep 2023 13:26:09
Taking kits or not, how has James Bisgrove got 2 mins to get involved in this? Surely dealt with but someone lower down the chain.
With absolute no knowledge on what’s actually happened, taking kits could be seen as theft from someone (people involved in running of a company) and not by others ( people working in football) . That could lead to a claim of unfair dismissal. Not sure how serious it could have been for a kit man, can’t exactly sneak 10% of ticket money into his pocket.
20.) 26 Sep 2023 13:27:51
Someone should steal tactics from somewhere and give them to m b he’s been looking for some for ages an can’t find any.
21.) 26 Sep 2023 13:29:49
I can 100% guarantee the accusations against Jim are false it's currently in the hands of the lawyers,
22.) 26 Sep 2023 13:41:41
I was told yesterday that the guys considering suing for wrongful dismissal.
23.) 26 Sep 2023 13:42:47
Raise the roofe, jimmy bell’s family have no influence, and what court is this going to.
Burt many people get tops signed, most occasions you provide the top
Correct Wsl, u don’t accept a sacking for theft if innocent, let’s wait and see how it all pans out.
24.) 26 Sep 2023 13:55:41
Their was an argument John about him taking some tops etc and fallen out occurred
But nothing to do with tactics and data sheets
Not seen or heard that rumour but whoever started it it’s 100% Baseless
as Tom said their is plenty of folk who do it
possibly he was told their was only so many per season he was allowed
All I know it was 100% started over taking tops but as I say not for self gain and no money was changing hands as far as I know more being generous to folk and he may have went over his limit on how many he was allowed to give out.
then the pulled into the office and argument Pursued.
25.) 26 Sep 2023 14:00:36
He must feel unjustly sacked as he is taking Rangers to an industrial tribunal.
26.) 26 Sep 2023 14:13:01
I have never said that Jimmy's family had any influence, only that they are not happy that someone (Jim) has been accused of this and are backing him to the hilt. What I did say was that Jimmy's family have removed a number if items from the training centre that were on show there from Jimmy's collection over the years in protest to what's happening.
As someone who knows what's going on inside the club, how do you not know this?
27.) 26 Sep 2023 14:07:19
Well said Stig.
Jim is as diehard a fan as anyone on here. Living out a dream working for our club.
Won’t elaborate on this point, Bisgrove speaks well but is as arrogant as they come. Wouldn’t mind it if I had faith in him doing a great job in his currently role but….
28.) 26 Sep 2023 14:38:17
Correct Iheard! There is quite a bit of chatter around Bisgrove and his arrogance, and how it doesn't sit well with some within Ibrox. I don't mind a bit of arrogance as long as it doesn't rub people up the wrong way.
29.) 26 Sep 2023 15:16:52
Raise cheers, I do know plenty, we discussed McAllister on here few weeks ago.
But you clearly know it’s not appropriate to discuss individuals who may appear in court or who have trial dates set
Iheard his love of rangers is up there with Jimmys.
30.) 26 sep 2023 16:12:15
that tells me there's more to this than meet the eye john, i find it all very strange that jimmy's family would be aware of anything that is going on at ibrox at hr level, i would find that strange myself, something else has obviously occurred, be it arguments or something else.
31.) 26 Sep 2023 16:21:16
We are electing a president? spat my tea oot when I read that .
32.) 26 Sep 2023 18:10:00
I have heard from a source that this information is correct he was let go by Rangers due to an investigation into him supposable selling club kit which he has denied and is looking at taking them to court under employee rights. I have also been informed that he flew out to Dubia yestarday to sign a 2 year deal with Gerrards team.
33.) 26 Sep 2023 21:18:59
Tactics? what tactics, Banfield just said today we beat PSV are they all daft or on something ?

I spoke to someone from rangers at game last night, said whole story absolute rubbish re taking jerseys etc.
38.) 27 Sep 2023 09:14:46
Ok, firstly the post about taking team and tactics shears was a JOKE, based on how poor we are playing. (Some folk really need to read posts properly and gain a sense of humour) . Secondly, I have no info about what May or may not be happening with the kit man. What I can say is, at the end of last season I was given a rangers training top by someone in my work. He had been given a few from another guy in his amateur football team who in turn had been given a load of rangers stuff from McCallister. So if I, a person who has no connections within Rangers and have never met this guy can end up with official Rangers gear then maybe he was ‘giving away too much stuff’.
39.) 27 Sep 2023 09:55:19
In what way do you mean John? Is the jersey story rubbish and it was something else he was sacked for? Or was he sacked for allegedly stealing jerseys, but he was stiched up?
40.) 27 Sep 2023 09:55:39
Tictacs for fresh minty breath, but who would steal them? check their breath .

McAllister was let go, because players had complained he wasn’t doing his job properly, when he was questioned by an unnamed official in the club, he lost his temper and it got out of hand, he was sacked for gross misconduct. 100% fact .
42.) 27 Sep 2023 11:40:30
Thanks for the update on this Brummie. If this is indeed true, then he would deserve the sack, and has no comeback on it.
You state 100% fact, but don't declare your source on this Brummie? Why is that? Thanks.
43.) 27 Sep 2023 12:07:45
Brummie if indeed true, things said, doesn’t fit anymore. Happens all the time. If sacked for gross misconduct needs to prove sacking was over the top reaction. If relationship broken down had to stay. Anyway Semi up for grabs.
44.) 27 Sep 2023 12:08:46
Raise . I cannot mention names, but the incident was told me by someone who works within Glasgow Rangers Fc, I wanted to post a couple of weeks ago when it was first raised by someone on this site . I felt I had to post this info now as the man was being accused of theft, which is not true. Hope this answers your question.

Raise. Theft of stuff allegedly not true.
46.) 27 Sep 2023 12:28:44
That's fair enough Brummie, appreciate the update.
Thanks John.
Just to update from what was on FF. The poster, who is well known, and extremely well respected, posted that Jim has the backing of the players, so I'm confused if it was players (plural) who complained against him? Could it have been the coaching staff complaining? Or maybe one of the new players? With so many new players this season, maybe a couple of them don't appreciate Jim's style? Remember, Jim is Jimmy's protege, so maybe a lot of Jimmy has rubbed off on Jim and some of the new players have struggled with this. Wee Jimmy was well known for not suffering fools or taking any prisoners. Just a theory I'm putting out there.

Brummie absolute rubbish the players were at his house backing him up now why would they visit him at his private address if they thought he ruubbsh at his job, the players and management were told by bisgrove to not discuss it.
52.) 28 Sep 2023 09:53:40
I've also heard, and read, that the players are backing Jim to the hilt Barber2 and are not happy about this. Does anyone really think that Jimmy would bring in someone not up to the job? Not a chance, wee Jimmy would have had his arse hitting the kerb in no time.
There's a lot more to this, than meets the eye, and from the info out there, Bisgrove is slam bang in the centre of this because of the way he was throwing his weight about.
To be fair to Jim, if he has been brought in and reprimanded, but been spoken to like a silly wee boy by Bisgrove, then he's every right to answer back. Who on here would let any wee jumped up plonker talk to you, or try to treat you like, a wee a hole?
53.) 28 Sep 2023 12:03:59
Judging by the bit miffed manager last night he has some real problems, never seen him as downbeat as that and verging on anger, something in the wind just now .
Anyway it's time for more Rice, Lovelace, McAusland etc this needs freshened up . Call time on Lundstram as his first touch is like a clearance and he offers absolutely nothing .
Plus I would recall Lowry as he is wasted sitting on that bench at the torn faces for 95 mins .
54.) 28 Sep 2023 23:45:52
Barber2, when we’re the players at his private address? And if Bisgrove Told em not to discuss it why was they supposedly at Mcallister’s private address supporting him . Mcallister must have a big house and space for a bus .
55.) 29 Sep 2023 07:40:36
I don't see your point regarding the size if Jim's house Brummie? Also, Bisgrove has no legal right to tell the players not to discuss this, or visit Jim, unless Jim has raised a case of unfair dismissal, and the players are directly involved in this? Even then, if the players are backing Jim, Bisgrove is on to plums if he thinks he can dictate his orders to whoever is involved.
My understanding, and what I have also read is, that the players do not like Bisgrove, and that he has got theirs, and others within Ibrox's back up, and is considered arrogant and a bit of a kn@b. There's no denying he knows how to generate money, and bring in new business, but since his step up into a much bigger, and more responsible role, he has been throwing his weight about a bit too much for some.
56.) 29 Sep 2023 12:16:43
Raise, I have spent many years involved in union affairs as a union official for various unions and understand a bit about employment law . I am not supporting Bisgrove what so ever . But you are wrong, Bisgrove has every right to instruct, players/ staff not to discuss club internal matters outside the confines of the club . This would also be in the players/ staff code of conduct agreement . This agreement also applies to most workers in every day life, who have a contract of employment. It’s there to protect the image of the company. As for players/ staff not liking Bisgrove I have no idea, but it’s not a disciplinary issue not liking a fellow worker. As for the point, of the size of Jim’s house, that was a tongue in cheek remark. “Power to the people because we are the people “ cheers .
57.) 29 Sep 2023 13:48:11
Thank you for the reply Brummie.
I don't want to get into a peeing competition with you, but I too have experience in this field, and you are correct regarding code of conduct, compliance etc. However, you cannot tell an employee, especially outside of contracted hours, not to speak with an individual just because you have a grievance with them. Not a chance! If this was to happen, an employer would be opening themselves up for all sorts of trouble, and criticism, they would be mad to even think they had a right to instruct this.
58.) 29 Sep 2023 14:18:43
Raise . I have enjoyed our discussion thankyou. As for players/ staff of a football club contracted hours, I’ve never thought of that before, I wonder what they are or how they are worded.
59.) 29 Sep 2023 19:51:12
Some calling a thief and would take to court if he didn't do it
Maybe he did take kits but it was not something that was drowned on and maybe they did use it as an excuse but that would mean they could get him on theft if he didn't have verbal or written permission.
There is obviously something else at play here.
Let's face it wouldn't be first time a workplace cause that's what rangers are in this case has made up a scenario to get someone out the door
Not saying that's what's happened but I don't think we shod be judging either way if we don't have all facts.
60.) 29 Sep 2023 21:25:18
God knows Brummie mate. The way a player nowadays can dictate what's in their contract, and what's not, I wouldn't even hazard a guess.
61.) 29 Sep 2023 21:32:42
Shouldn't be judging lol
Failing to see the predictive text on on phone ??.
62.) 30 Sep 2023 12:12:23
Presumably, everything will eventually come to light with the facts being reported on, especially if there is a court case or an Industrial Tribunal.
What I can't understand is why our CEO would be wasting his time getting involved with the goings on of a Kitman unless there had been a prior issue that had been escalated up the ladder to him but is all seems rather odd and perhaps just re-emphasises the need for a DoF.
Bisgrove is excellent on the marketing side of the Business and better than we have ad on that side of the Business for a long time but surely there should be someone, if it isn't Beale himself, that has responsibility for the mundane football matters.

@ Tom the commentators also said they think he Silva dived
He thought the hearts player was coming in behind him and he gambled on the dive and made too look very silly
Wolves be lucky to get 5 million for him never mind 20+
I liked him when he came I thought he he would have been a great addition to the squad but he can forget it
We don't need nor want players like this at Glasgow Rangers absolute calamity all he had to do was side foot it into the net.
Butland made 2 outstanding saves yesterday one may have had the hearts player just off side but known our luck if he had scored it would have counted.
Souter had a couple errors in his game yesterday one which could have cost us.
what's the deal now with Goldson will we see him start another game? How will he himself be feeling now known he was officially dropped by the manager can he be man enough to come back into the team and play better if given the chance or will he now be looking for his exit?
Thought cantwell played well yesterday some decent runs and obviously the assists he had
Matondo a few wee good runs also at times
Sterling was solid very good utility player to have at the club.
Dessers couldn't fault 2 goals and should have had an assist for the diving Silva
Summer think we are all in agreement defence will need properly looked at along with midfield for me Lunny needs to go we need an upgrade for moving forward along with all the players previously mentioned across the forum that will be out of contract and the club looking to move a good few on
Think it will be hard to replace Butland in summer if he indeed does go for a big transfer
Said a few times already going to be a massive summer for us made easier if we somehow pull the league out the bag
if not, we'll maybe we shouldn't talk about if nots and think positively that we still have a chance and what a massive difference it will make for the club in a whole if we do it for moving us forward .
We all live in hope ??.
1.) 22 Apr 2024 12:24:22
In my view, Lundstram can leave. Especially with what he is demanding but more on his performances over his Rangers career.
I’d be quite happy with a youthful midfield of Raskin and Diomande.
Need a new striker - fingers crossed not Shankland as he failed his audition again in front of Clement.
He’s yet to impress me against Rangers.
I actually think a few of our players are needing a decent preseason without niggles and they might just do us a turn.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 12:27:30
Excellent post stigno. not worried about Butland . If he goes there
are loads of good keepers out there. more concerned about defence and a decent 6 yard box hitman. Dessers did the job yesterday and Ill judge him more against the our rivals
.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 12:32:07
But Big Phil has already stated he has 4 good Centre Backs and Goldson was rested which he was going to do against Dundee if Balagon was available but he wasn’t.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 13:07:31
Sorry stig but Matondo was absolutely horrible yesterday, worse than a man down. First thing he did was run the ball out of play because he can’t control a ball properly, last thing he did was fall over on the ball looking for a non existent free kick. Everything in between was just as bad. The awful thing is we are left with a choice now between him and Silva on the left side of attack. Out of the two I’d almost have to go for Silva just now as although he is also horrendous he can actually just about control a ball, occasionally pass to others and does work back and help out cover his left back. Matondo doesn’t even do any of those things. We are really struggling in forward areas now if Sima is out again.
5.) 22 apr 2024 13:18:57
matondo was poor yesterday, but the midfield hardly ever put the ball into the wide open spaces in front of him, he couldn't get into a groove, shankland was head n shoulders above the rest of his fellow attackers, they weren't on his wavelength, all in all hearts will be very disappointed they didn't do much, rangers were comfortable winners.
6.) 22 apr 2024 13:41:57
stig, there isn't even a debate on silva cheating, instantly i knew he had, anyway, we need a seige mentallity now, , every game as many goals as possible, i hope pc gies fir it now, no point in pussyfooting around,
7.) 22 Apr 2024 13:54:33
You’re right Tom but Matondo needs to be able to offer more than the occasional run when in open space or his new found ability to cut in on his right and hit a shot. He’s useful as an impact player in the last 20mins or so when teams tire but if he’s going to start then he has to be able to offer more. He doesn’t track back well, he shirks out of 50/ 50’s, he can’t beat a man from a standing start (or is afraid to even try most of the time) . His crossing and passing is poor. Yesterday isn’t the first time he’s basically been like a man down.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 14:31:42
Matondo is usually poor let’s be honest he done well when he came on against Hibs and Celtic but that’s about it.
9.) 22 apr 2024 15:11:17
he disappointed me yesterday, i expected it to righ5 up his street, granted the midfeild couldn't play to his strengths, but very poor otherwise.
10.) 22 Apr 2024 15:11:39
Both wingers don’t produce the goods regularly. Apart from goals against Hibs/ Celtic Matondo either runs the ball out, falls over it or passes it back. As for McAusland don’t see anything in his game worthy of a place.
11.) 22 apr 2024 15:23:51

{Ed's Note - Thestigno1 has posted a new article entitled, Where are Glasgow Rangers Headed?
1.) 21 Apr 2024 08:48:44
Excellent post Thestigno1, you echo what a good few of us think too. I am not overly happy with Lawrence or Cantwell in our midfield, they both run around a lot, but create very little, just my opinion.
We definitely need a RFB and CB both of whom can defend as well as be potent in the opposition box, I said before, I would play Devine at RB, Conor Barron from Aberdeen again looked good in the game against Celtic yesterday, and we should bring Shankland in, yes he may cost £3 to 4 Million, but you won't get a goal scorer from abroad or down South for that kind of money. I'd give Lowrie a run in a couple of games to see what if anything has improved in his overall attitude and energy levels. Just some suggestions for us moving forward.
2.) 21 Apr 2024 10:38:26
Devine isn’t good enough would rather stick with tav than some wee guy who offers nothing going forward or back.

4.) 21 Apr 2024 11:38:40
Morning John, I wasn't aware he hasn't been training, obviously if that's the case you couldn't play him, I had heard his injuries had cleared up, and assumed he would be available.

Hard to argue with most of that, Stig.
Our player trading model is on it's arse, and with the exception of Butland, what other players do we have who command a 10m plus fee? Not one!
My sister in law has just picked up my ticket for the game to give to her hubby. Honestly, I never thought I'd be passing on a semifinal, but that's how I feel. I'm scunnered, and I just don't have any faith in these players anymore.
2.) 20 Apr 2024 11:01:54
Good post stig.
3.) 20 Apr 2024 11:13:07
Stig well thought out, question though I can’t recall Celtic paying much more than 5 or 6 million on a player in recent seasons, is that spending big? Problem both us and Celtic would have is the higher calibre of player you target then the fee goes up to nearer the ten million mark and even if Celtic have that money would the player want to come up here as the likelihood is they would have offers from either England or Europe, Is that not why Celtic have been signing players from the Asian market and like us trying to target young players with potential.
They have had better returns from their players no argument there, yes we have a real job on our hands to try and unearth a few good players or find good out of contract players, if we can do that next season I don’t think we will be a close run thing.
Just my opinion.

5.) 20 Apr 2024 14:44:57
Excellent article Stig and difficult to disagree with anything you have said.
Unfortunately I feel that the previous Chairman, CEO and DoF must carry a lot of the blame, principally because we failed to strengthen when we won 55 and personally I feel that Parks and his CEO were more interested in battles with the SFA and the SPFL than doing what was needed to improve the quality of a winning Team.
With all of the aforementioned now gone and with Bennett and Bisgrove now in control I am hopeful that we will see positive change which will see a change at Board level, new investment and a significant improvement both in quality and success on the park under Clement.
We do however need to see investment in the team in respect of quality or we will find ourselves needing to appoint yet another new manager because I don't see Clement hanging around if the Team is not fit for purpose. Protecting his own credibility will be more important than trying to ensure success with poor quality players and a lack of financial support from his Board.
6.) 20 Apr 2024 18:29:18

7.) 20 Apr 2024 19:17:20
Sadly Stig I’ve been reading articles like yours for too long now, just about every season seems to end the same way with us just meekly surrendering any chance we have. We might get a wee flurry of pride tomorrow but it’s not the prize we were really after.
No doubt we will go to parkhead and get a draw and some will say we were unlucky not to win but the truth is it’s a mentality thing with us we have an inferiority complex which breaks my heart to admit. I believe we have in place a good manager hopefully he knows where the problem lies and deals with it.

18 Apr 2024 19:06:30
Guys reading posts about us not performing well since te Motherwell game
Now I'm not blaming him entirely but it's a strange one it's around that time it Broke in media the club wouldn't give Lundstrum his improved contract he wanted
And since he's the main man in our midfield up to that point it's strange how dramatically his performances have dropped along with the rest of the team
Is it believable one player can cause disharmony among a squad? has he got a few others wound up over it?
Who knows. But wasn't Sheff Utd fans saying same thing about him when he was leaving their he decided to stop playing?
I'm not blaming him entirely but he's a big part of it as his performances have dropped hugely along with Goldson who I think is just about to be over the hill he's a absolute bombs scare more than ever these days
Tav no better and Borna is another who hasn't kicked a ball in about 2 seasons
If we lose Butland to a big offer then back to the drawing board for a quality keeper in summer
We have some key positions that we are going to need to fill all in one transfer window is it achievable
Well actually it is achievable but not entirely certain we can cover all positions with quality
We require to get to where we all strive to be
That's going to be down too the board to fund clement and our scouting networks to be hard at work along with PC and Nils finding the best possible talent for what ever our budget ends up to be?
let's see if kloppen can pull something out the bag.
One thing for certain it's one tough summer AGAIN.
