said a few weeks back i was told rangers will pay big money for the correct striker to win back the league, i'm told again its in the pipeline.
1.) 20 Jun 2023 03:35:40
It does not guarantee league win.
If we think Celtic will stand still we are mental they must have promised Rodgers a substantial transfer budget to get him back hopefully he blows it on duds ?.
2.) 20 Jun 2023 04:21:18
Celtic aren’t even a concern in the short-term. Rangers have Champions League qualifiers coming up after the summer and the team needs to be strengthened and ready to overcome those. If Rangers can qualify for the Champions League it’s another £25m guaranteed. Those are the biggest games of the season financially. If we are going to qualify again we must strengthen that front line.
3.) 20 Jun 2023 05:05:26
TT12,any idea who the striker is we're going to spend the big money on mate ?.
4.) 20 Jun 2023 06:12:21
Hagi wright coops?
5.) 20 jun 2023 06:25:05
firstly, , nobody said anybody will guarantee the league, and there probably isn't a football fan in the uk who thinks celtic will “ stand still “, where do you get these statements from mate?
no coops, I've no idea who is targetted, but i did post a couple of months ago that they accepted a large outlay was needed up front in particular, i'm told again ladt night that still stands, possibly more than one larger outlay, the club knows the firward line has been awful really and accepts we don't win the league without a star striker,
6.) 20 Jun 2023 06:26:17
Haji Wright sws.
7.) 20 Jun 2023 06:39:33
Hope it the boy from Utrecht Tom, much better than Dessers?.
8.) 20 Jun 2023 06:52:46
Much better with 39 goals in three seasons ok.
9.) 20 Jun 2023 07:07:02
Tt you did indeed. I just hope its money well spent.
10.) 20 Jun 2023 07:10:29
Tasos Douvikas has played 139 games scored 42 goals since 2017,never seen this lad but he wasn't even on the bench for Greece last night, would personally prefer Haji Wright if we spend upwards from 7m, told Haji Wright and Dessers could both be signed this summer.
11.) 20 Jun 2023 07:50:56
Douvikas is only 23 tho beale. Dessers touching 30.
12.) 20 Jun 2023 07:57:11
Dessers is only 28 paul i would definitely prefer Haji Wright, seems he has had one good season.
13.) 20 Jun 2023 08:51:36
Verdant, that comment about Celtic not even being a concern in the short term could not be more incorrect. The Champions League is a bonus, anything outside of the league is a bonus. We simply cannot allow them to run away with another league title, and with Brenda being promised riches to guide them, along with cash from the sales of whoever Angie wants, they will be a prescient danger as always. They are the prime concern this season, we must do everything to overcome them.
14.) 20 Jun 2023 08:59:30
Because he compared Dessers to el coo he wants Dessers, the Utrecht boy is far better.
15.) 20 Jun 2023 09:36:23
What are you slavering on about now coldo? he has 42 goals in 139 games, thought you didn't want a 1 in 3 cf? or even less, if i could pick my two they would be Maja and Haji Wright, Haji can play any forward position.
16.) 20 Jun 2023 09:36:52
Many times you seen him play coldo?
17.) 20 Jun 2023 10:30:54
@DoTheBouncy - The Champions League is not just a bonus, it’s necessary for the clubs financial health and long-term sustainability. The only way clubs like Rangers and Celtic can sustain in a small country with such a poor TV deal, and so little domestic prize money, is regular European football and player sales. Rangers are falling well short of the mark when it comes to player sales so we NEED Europe. Celtic already have guaranteed Champions League football whereas Rangers don’t. If Rangers cannot match Celtic off the pitch we will not be able to compete with them on it as they will simply outspend us at every turn.
The most important games of the season come at the very start and those are the Champions League qualifiers. Rangers need to be ready to go from the very outset and I’m certain that’s why Rangers are pushing to get so much business done early.
18.) 20 Jun 2023 10:35:50
Yeah that's what i said he be 29 in few months. So touching 30. Douvikas is a youg striker. Had an unreal season last year in his first proper season. Hard to count the games in greece when he was 19/ 20 and only getting sub apperances. he's going to be a fantastic player.
19.) 20 Jun 2023 11:28:47
So put this into perspective for me Verdant, would you accept seven horse whippings again in the Champions League but an improved bank balance while Celtic wrap up the league title yet again? I know what I would prefer, and it's certainly not an embarrassing run in the champions league that's a certainty! I think most fans would agree with that to be honest.
20.) 20 Jun 2023 11:32:25
Be 29 about Christian time paul, I've never seen Douvikas play, my own personally opinion would be Wright.
21.) 20 Jun 2023 11:33:58
Coldo has clearly seen him play if he is saying he is better than Dessers, but saying that probably never seen him.
22.) 20 Jun 2023 11:41:33
Hearing more and more saying we're very much in the race to sign lyndon dykes ?You heard anything John27 or anyone else for this matter regarding this ?.
23.) 20 Jun 2023 11:52:45
2 months ago nobody heard of Douvikas, Dessers, Haji Wright and now everyone is an expert based on YouTube highlights and Wikipedia. The modern world of fake knowledge.
24.) 20 Jun 2023 11:56:20
Do the bouncy there is no reason for us to get hammerimgs like that in the CL tho. We can compete, no reason why we cant. Only have to look at teams we have previously beaten and played last season. Us getting pumped in the CL didn't give celtic the title.
25.) 20 Jun 2023 12:14:23
@DoTheBouncy - What makes you think Champions League involvement automatically hands Celtic the league title? Celtic will be involved in next season Champions League, so does that mean we’ll win the domestic league by default? Make it make sense ?♂️?
Celtic can spend big this summer because they have guaranteed Champions League football and, in effect, have already banked on that £25m. Ranges NEED to get that prize money coming in as well. Our performances in the Champions League group stages are almost an irrelevance as it’s nothing more than a cash grab. Once in the group stages anything we get beyond that (prize money for a group stage result or parachuting into the Europa League) is a bonus. More money means better players, better players means better performances, better performances means more chance of winning things - It’s that simple.
A club the size of Rangers NEEDS regular European football and a successful p, Ayer trading model in order to sustain and thrive. The Champions League qualifiers are the biggest games of the season financially. A domestic league win earns £3m, a domestic cup win earned £300k, the Champions League brings in tens of millions.
I’m certain Beale will be emphasising the importance of these Champions League games in just a few weeks. If Rangers do make it in they might even be able to bring in another player or two, of a higher standard than we could otherwise afford, and that could make all the difference domestically. It was very strange when GVB wasn’t backed more after last summers Champions League qualification. Hopefully the board have learned their lesson.
26.) 20 Jun 2023 12:14:50
X-78 had heard of dessers to be fair.
27.) 20 Jun 2023 12:22:22
?????
Be funny if we did sign him. We would all need to emigrate for a year!
28.) 20 Jun 2023 12:42:12
Haven`t seen the other names mentioned, play so would have to trust Beales judgement on them . I have seen Dykes lots of times and wouldn`t want him anywhere near Rangers. He is just not the type of striker we need at the club and doesn`t score anything like the amount of goals we want from our main striker.
29.) 20 Jun 2023 12:45:32
I know I’m probably in the minority here but dykes is exactly what rangers need upfront.
30.) 20 Jun 2023 12:54:51
Would definitely prefer Dykes than Colak he clearly knows how to play like our manager wants.
31.) 20 Jun 2023 12:56:19
Lyndon dykes deal practically done ?.
32.) 20 Jun 2023 13:11:54
Makes perfect sense, Tom, we need real quality up front. A marquee signing plus big Dykes would be brilliant imo. The big guy is a handful and will ragdoll opponents for fun up here. I've been on the fence a bit about Dykes but he definitely has something different about him so it's a thumbs up from me ?.
33.) 20 Jun 2023 13:23:38
Wouldn't mind that sws rather him than Colak as said earlier.
34.) 20 Jun 2023 13:33:07
I fecking hope not, SWS?.
35.) 20 Jun 2023 13:33:39
Hopefully not. We don't need any more strikers who doesn't score goals. 29 league goals ( 6 pens) in 114 games for qpr. Just don't rate him. Maybe as 3rd choice throw on last 10 mins as battering ram and go 2 up top. that's about it he's not good enough to lead the line.
36.) 20 Jun 2023 13:37:21
Would love a punt on dykes he would be brillant for us.
37.) 20 Jun 2023 13:41:06
Today on the Rangers Review they said a move for Dykes can be “comprehensively ruled out”. They pay the annual £25k fee to get press access to Beale and the Ibrox staff. So they’re a reliable source most of the time.
38.) 20 Jun 2023 14:11:59
Dykes would very much suit us, Back to goal, great hold up, his lay offs are fantastic. He fits our system and proven goal scorer in our league.
However there's better and I doubt we are after him.
39.) 20 Jun 2023 15:48:44
Yip I have seen him play? far better than dessers and dykes.
40.) 20 Jun 2023 15:55:20
The champions league is huge for us this season as we need the CO efficients to get in that club world cup which is a massive pay day for all involved so stating the league is a priority over that is bonkers thinking. We could win the league 10x and no earn that kind of cash.
41.) 20 Jun 2023 16:13:56
You watching Dutch football now coldo you never said earlier.
42.) 20 Jun 2023 16:40:59
Honestly think our main problems were at the back last season, you only need to look at how many we conceeded compared to league winning season.
We have decent strikers problem is we carry too many injury prone players which when our main back ups get injured leaves us short.
(Roofe)
No doubting his talent but I think he been one of the most injury rone players we've had in recent years.
43.) 20 Jun 2023 16:50:22
Why would I say? Like most on here I watch most leagues, international etc?.

rangers looking at miracle oguduba, nigerian protegy
any miracle will do for now.
1.) 24 Apr 2023 21:46:35
He has been playing friendlies as a trialist Tom.
2.) 24 Apr 2023 21:56:39
Need a miracle!
3.) 24 Apr 2023 22:29:24
I think we need a lot more than a miracle!
4.) 24 Apr 2023 23:09:16
B team signing.
5.) 25 Apr 2023 07:48:27
He is good friends with the Nigerian winger we just signed for the B team.
6.) 25 Apr 2023 08:53:36
Yep bellshill we r spreading our wings.
What I like is their size and physicality
Lovelace. England / Jamaica
Ishaka Nigeria
This new lad Nigeria
Nsio, England dr Congo
Ipeka
Yefeko
Mandey Austria and I think Ghana
We r seeing a lot of these lads coming into europe, and holding dual nationality,
7.) 25 Apr 2023 10:49:14
Hi there, first time posting. John27, have you heard anything about the young lad Alex Yiga that had a trial.
8.) 25 Apr 2023 13:03:47
Sounds good john.
25 jul 2022 23:05:15
im likely to be laughed at here, but i was told again tonight that suarez is definetly a serious target,
1.) 25 Jul 2022 23:55:33
Looks to be off to nacional in uruguay.
2.) 26 Jul 2022 00:39:29
It is possible.
3.) 26 Jul 2022 01:41:03
Heard the same thing tbh Tom. That's both of us getting slaughtered ?.
4.) 26 Jul 2022 02:34:45
Did he not sign for Dortmund sure I seen him in Thier kit recently.
5.) 26 Jul 2022 06:05:40
The latest I’ve seen on this is that he’s off to the MLS.
6.) 26 Jul 2022 06:20:11
Nope he hasn’t signed for anyone yet gofor.
7.) 26 Jul 2022 06:38:02
I just can’t see it, I’d love it but just don’t see it happening. You never know.
8.) 26 Jul 2022 06:40:25
Not a chance.
9.) 26 Jul 2022 07:23:09
he's currently without a club so who knows just think he would prefer a warmer climate n a lot of wages.
10.) 26 Jul 2022 07:30:40
goforbig think Dortmund where putting a package together for him
but wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in America or somewhere that will pay him silly money.
11.) 26 Jul 2022 07:48:11
Sorry, but even If there was the remotest chance of this happening (there isn't), I wouldn't want that despicable wee rodent anywhere near our club. Is there anyone on here who would actually be happy with this animal signing for us? Thankfully it'll never happen.
12.) 26 Jul 2022 08:55:45
Oh yeah, despicable wee rodent that will score 30 goals in his sleep! An animal that will drive us towards title 56! Can't see any reason to sign him at all!
Fact of the matter is that if he were to sign (which I can't see happening to be honest) not a soul would be able to get near us. He'd score goals for fun here.
On another note, did you like El Hadj Diouf being part of our team?
13.) 26 Jul 2022 08:59:07
No, he was another despicable wee rat. ??.
14.) 26 Jul 2022 09:01:35
I’d want him in a minute. The Tim’s would hate him so much it be brilliant.
15.) 26 Jul 2022 09:09:32
I’ve been hearing that aswell but we have more chance of kris Boyd coming back to the club than that happening. But football is football and it would certainly be a brilliant signing.
16.) 26 Jul 2022 09:11:59
Gazza, Mo Johnson, 'Suarez', never say never.
17.) 26 Jul 2022 09:50:03
Calling the guy with the 3rd most assists of all time and one a the best goal scorer records on the planet a wee rodent you wouldn’t won’t ?.
18.) 26 Jul 2022 10:04:00
Dropping your pants in desperation for a player any decent supporter wouldn't want near his team. ??.
19.) 26 Jul 2022 10:04:05
Down in the tube what is your views on our new signing Lawrence? As imo done a lot worse than Suarez?
20.) 26 Jul 2022 10:05:39
There’s absolutely no chance of this happening. However, I’d love it if it did. The meltdown would begin immediately, and it wouldn’t stop until the day he left. He’d win everything this guy and be hated by everyone while he does it. He’s perfect for us!
21.) 26 Jul 2022 10:06:11
Would definitely give us that bit of bite we’re lacking up front at the moment but I feel he would seriously eat into our finances.
22.) 26 Jul 2022 10:08:53
Don't think I'd want that, maybe 5 years ago. Just can't see it, but I thought that about Ramsey, and Scott airfield ?.
23.) 26 Jul 2022 10:23:53
Lol Orygbmb, well played Sir.
24.) 26 Jul 2022 10:30:28
I'm also not sure how Kamara would react to the signing.
25.) 26 Jul 2022 11:01:58
Exactly Dado. We were going off our heads when Kamara was subjected to vile racist abuse, but some are quite prepared to turn the other cheek as long as a player scores goals and helps us to trophies. That, in my opinion, is very hypocritical and wrong. C'mon guys, surely you see this?
26.) 26 Jul 2022 12:11:14
Might have been a wild possibility if Gerrard was still manager but not now.
27.) 26 Jul 2022 12:55:17
Well some reckon we need a bit of bite on the park?
28.) 26 Jul 2022 13:50:49
Any info on if we could get him storm? He would be a cracking signing for a year or two even at his ag.
29.) 26 Jul 2022 13:55:06
You do not say no to a player like Suarez. Bad history as a person but a lethal goalscorer on the park. i'm sure he has straightened out and educated himself since.
30.) 26 jul 2022 17:07:10
you think every player is a goody two shoes mate, i said i was told it was still a possibility, not a certainty m you’ve said there isn’t any chance of it happening, then spend your time talking about it, you don’t know the guy, neither do i, but i’ve known many players i wouldn’t p. on in a heatwave, but, i also know many tradesmen who aren’t the best of people, but if they fix my leaky roof il certainly consider them, especially if o haven’t seen any badness myself.
31.) 26 Jul 2022 17:32:38
No gofor nothing at all. I don’t think we have a chance ever of signing him but you never know.
Down in the tube you going to answer about Lawrence.
32.) 26 Jul 2022 17:49:40
If he went to the other mob I would be gutted, he would score Barrow loads in sunny Scotland ☺.
33.) 26 jul 2022 20:14:54
exactly brex, he would destroy us imo, at least for a season.
34.) 26 Jul 2022 22:07:35
He has went to Uruguay official.
35.) 26 Jul 2022 23:39:14
Yeah just seen that John. Still think the boy Tillman looks like he could do a job up front in the short term.

i will probably never understand the refusal to bring shankland in, celtic would have won easily tonight, they have midfielders who create and scorers who score, , we dont
we could have had a great scorer, we didnt, some people keep talking nonsense about better coming, really, anyone coming isn't going to win this seasons title are they?
we lost it in january, ch and striker was required, utterly pathetic surrender.
1.) 17 Apr 2024 22:17:58
Forgot Shankland TT. We just isolate our front man. Same tacts, same firmation and same BS!
Should have loaned a striker in Jan.
2.) 17 Apr 2024 22:18:56
No money, surely you understand the lack of finances to purchase.
3.) 17 Apr 2024 22:26:49
Agree.
4.) 17 Apr 2024 22:27:05
Agree Tom but we didn’t create anything for a striker, no dangerous crosses or cut backs into the box.
Certainly in other games we have been crying out for a no nonsense striker.
5.) 17 Apr 2024 22:27:31
Your own post states we don't have midfielders who create, so if we had shankland, how can he be scoring if there is no creation for him.
6.) 17 Apr 2024 22:40:45
Tom were totally Fecked mate
I have no other words.
just can’t fathom this team of players core group just got away with far too much to be honest and I don’t use the term often but it’s a disgrace.
7.) 17 Apr 2024 22:49:38
TT, I don't know if Shankland was the answer but we certainly should have been bringing in a striker with a proven track record and everyone except the Board could see that we needed a Centre Half. Decision making by the previous Board has been woeful.
8.) 17 Apr 2024 22:51:29
Tomb we were skint in jan its that simple.
9.) 17 Apr 2024 23:39:44

14 apr 2024 14:00:52
is it ok to boo today d-k, utterly dreadful football from a team that thinks they're good, i said months ago big change required, we won't win a league with cantwell dessers goldson silva and a few others, we threw the league away, because we didn't act in january when we had too, these guys might look fantastiv every now and again, winning titles needs much more, this is the time to fight and win, ross county, clement obviously can't see that tavernier corners are pathetic, yet we get to see hundreds of them, rangers showed no urgency, no heart, and watching cantwell sand dance all over the pitch is pathetic really, i'm fed up with goldson and tav now, i really hope there's massive change ahead and if clement can't see these guys won't win a league then he needs replaced too.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 14:42:20
He was on live chat, Tom, still trying to blame fans for those players blowing it. The guy is deluded and would rather pick an arguement with fans who don't toe the party line, than have a go at a bunch of overpaid, overhyped, bottle merchants.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 14:46:11
Ty we didn't act in jan because we can't afford to.
14 apr 2024 12:22:22
painful to watch but 3 points is all that matters, we ain't going to be playing good football today.
13 jan 2024 20:47:27
to the guys saying today was all about fitness
pre season is all about fitness, the manage4 will have been looking at lots of things today,
the players are fit, they were playing so the manager could have a look at what he has,
anyone thinking it was only about fitness is wrong.
1.) 13 Jan 2024 22:53:41
All that from a guy tgat never saw the game.

I don’t think you need to have watched the game to draw the conclusions that TT has drawn.
3.) 14 Jan 2024 09:26:00
Clement:-
I want to see how they react when they are tired. Everyone will play 45 minutes. We want to get them used to that situation when they are tired as it can happen in the league with a lot of games in a row and they need to perform. "
4.) 14 jan 2024 14:34:23
i don't need to see a game to know why it was played.
20 apr 2024 09:46:30
i would happily put money on shankland being here, along with another, and i wouls be happy to see that, there's no real rangers connection in our team just now, and shanks will score in the league every week, you can almost guarantee that.
20 apr 2024 00:06:42
big dado, you mean thise two first team players being told is fine, during a time your expecting them to lose blood for the club,
19 apr 2024 20:59:36
like our captain and vice captain.
19 apr 2024 20:56:02
evening coops
much as was excited by clement and early appearances, i'm really struggling to come to terms with, if true, that he would tell players they have no future at the club, while they are involved in a title fight with 6 games to play and in a semi final,
if that is trueit simply is beyond belief, players aren't fans, they care only about the bank account and they're own futures, unless they're real gers fans of course, if he did do this then he effectively threw the title away if you ask me, i care about the title this season, anything else can wait,
18 apr 2024 08:40:42
i dnt suspect anyone could possibly answer that question, how would john know?
20 apr 2024 11:17:13
thanks fir that tjn, total nonsense i talk, never knew if or how many times silva or sima played in epl, and that's exactky what i said, but, total nonsense,
beales players also took rangers to top of the league, suddenly that was clement, that's fine
same players lose top spot and manager changes team around every week with ridiculous team selections,
that's beales fault, couldn't make it up, , how does me saying i don't know if or how much they played in epl equate to total nonsense, ?
20 apr 2024 10:19:45
tell me where i can find this quote “ some fans are lesser fans “
please, , just show where thise words are, in a quote like you said,

alologies for the endlessrants, morphine n wine, great combo but not for the mind.
20 apr 2024 10:16:13
im beginning to think there's an arrangement were he plays every game if fit, and only good game i can remeber is benfica away were i thoughthe was great and would crack on, went backwards since.
