John you picking up Davy Klassen knocking up back?
1.) 26 Jul 2024 12:52:45
Union, I told this guy backup if we can’t get Jordan.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 12:59:33
He’s on a free is he not? Good player.
3.) 26 Jul 2024 13:00:26
Klaasen now linked to besiktas but it's good we seem to be linked with good quality.
4.) 26 Jul 2024 13:12:05
different positions surely John.
5.) 26 Jul 2024 13:33:38
We need that kind of player experienced pro played to higher levels would be happy with either.
6.) 26 Jul 2024 13:58:36
Cheers John, I wondered if we had looked at experienced midfielders as alternatives.
7.) 26 Jul 2024 14:06:35
Rob I’d say yes, but it’s called working to a budget.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 14:14:47
2 ex Jong Ajax players
Danilo, Cerny, now linked with Klassen lol, when do we sign Queensy Menig?
we going for a front 4 of ex Jong Ajax academy players.
Glasgow Ajax Rangers
fun fact Danilo / Cerny / Menig were the front 3 at Fc Twente not that long ago.
9.) 26 Jul 2024 14:15:10
Anyone know if hearts have a huge pile of offers for Shankland or is it just us and Melchester rovers ?
10.) 26 Jul 2024 15:03:37
Gio wanted to sign Klaasen but the board said no!
07 Jul 2024 13:21:04
Hi all, first post in a wee while.
Kenny McLean is a goer.
Scott wright to Sheffield Wednesday is still a way off, but rangers hoping to conclude.
Lovelace promised first team minutes in hope to sign a new deal.
1.) 07 Jul 2024 13:44:08
Need Stevens to be promised the same, he’s going to be a good player.
2.) 07 Jul 2024 14:00:15
Think if we could shift Scott Wright for a fee we would be doing well - moments of good play but mainly very poor - can’t see him being good enough for championship if that is where SW play ??????.
3.) 07 jul 2024 14:10:57
is that an opinion mate or a statement of fact.
4.) 07 Jul 2024 14:26:40
It’s a rumour on a rumours page.
5.) 07 Jul 2024 14:30:13
Scott wright's replacement in the squad will be Lovelace hopefully.
6.) 07 jul 2024 15:16:38
union, i ask because it looks like you're stating a fact, that's fine if so, i just wanted to know that's all.
7.) 07 Jul 2024 15:37:12
Tom, just passing on what I was told.
8.) 07 Jul 2024 15:37:26
Might be a stupid question but I assume Lovelace counts as homegrown? If so he’s the perfect replacement for wright’s squad place.
9.) 07 Jul 2024 15:48:54
I’d have liked to sign for example, Danny Armstrong to replace Scott wright in squad. But if Lovelace, whom btw I thought of more as a central striker? Anyone? Or Stevens etc can step up instead of the so called 'squad' players, then this is definitely the way to go.
We should aim to have a squad of what 16-18 first team stars backed up to the 25 by youth. That’s the target we should aim for. Of course, they need to be good enough.
10.) 07 Jul 2024 16:14:02
I know it’s a ridiculously small sample size of one half of football. But I thought Lovelace looked really promising against St Mirren. Power, pace, direct. I would rather see him in the squad than signing another squad type person (like a Danny Armstrong as you mentioned) given he has the potential to be significantly better.
No doubting Armstrong would be an upgrade on wright though.
11.) 07 Jul 2024 16:19:09
Tom, sure you only come on here for sissy arguments?
No wonder people are apprehensive about posting anything on this forum.
12.) 07 Jul 2024 16:37:26
Think it's a rumours site not necessarily fact based. It's Rangers rumours and quite clearly stated as such.
13.) 07 Jul 2024 17:11:56
Would say that’s a pretty good opinion regarding Wright Tom.
14.) 07 Jul 2024 17:21:04
Stevie I always thought Lovelace was a winger more than striker think he can play both positions.
15.) 07 Jul 2024 17:26:54
Lovelace just starting his third year at rangers, Stevie I also agree he’s a 9
Why would u give up a squad place to include Armstrong, not for me.
16.) 07 Jul 2024 18:58:28
Like Armstrong very direct but a think Lovelace has more potential to be even better than him.
17.) 07 Jul 2024 19:13:24
I'm hoping Lovelace's fitness will improve. John will know better than me, but he seems to be a player that gets injured frequently.
18.) 07 Jul 2024 19:38:07
Cheers guys, a lot of the time when young strikers come through at big clubs they are played slightly wider anyway, think rashford and that like.
Let’s hope the younger lads get there chamce and take it whatever position that may be in.
19.) 07 Jul 2024 19:39:15
Hi John hope your well sir, just a quick question how highly do you rate Lovelace I know you have good knowledge of the younger lads at rangers.
20.) 07 Jul 2024 19:41:28
Also I really like Armstrong, but if he doesn’t meet the Scottish quota for Europe and we’re going to have more talented 1st team players then there is no need for him.
It all depends on what we can bring in.
I’ve not seen Stevens play. Lovelace looks good to me.
Reminds me of a younger Jermaine Defoe. When he 1st appeared on the scene. Obviously he eventually changed style to the poacher but he used to have the pace and skill and touch etc.
21.) 07 jul 2024 20:50:39
the boy made a statement, i asked if it was his opinion or a fact, cheers scotty, i apreciate that.
22.) 07 Jul 2024 21:20:38
Stevie Armstrong does not meet Scottish academy trained as far as I’m aware
Brian I rate Lovelace vey highly, he is very highly thought of in the England age group set up as is stevens, both broke into the 17s a very very hard group to be part of. Hence why so many clubs want these lads for their academy, if not they would not be classed as English academy trained.
Mark u r correct re Lovelace and his fitness, the bonus is like a lot of young player it’s muscular injuries they get, it is considered by many that this is caused by too much running, football b4 they develop,
A very good example is James Graham, we signed him at 16, then let him do nothing for nearly 18 months, due to being seriously overplayed 13-16.
Mullholland spoke about this kid playing five games a week.
23.) 07 Jul 2024 21:27:34
Tom it's not hard to understand why you asked the question, since the op never said anything along the lines of got told this from a mate or this is my opinion etc.
24.) 07 jul 2024 21:28:06
forthy, please explain how its “ quite clearly “ a rumour?
i only asked a civil question.
25.) 07 Jul 2024 21:43:57
I don't mind McLean as long as we don't overpay we need some Scottish domestic players for the squad.
26.) 07 Jul 2024 21:44:44
Also having ayed at Aberdeen and for scotland will be a good influence on barron I'm sure.
27.) 07 Jul 2024 21:57:14
Because it's a rumour on a rumours site and you asked if it was a fact, if it was a fact we would have heard about it and not be wondering if it was a rumour on a rumours site .
Have a day off or maybe buy a cat.
28.) 07 Jul 2024 22:31:18
I know I'm a bit nuts? at times, but recently I find myself losing interest very quickly on here, genuine discussion/ rumour interests being besmirched by the vitriolic ramblings of past posters settling old scores or new ones with axes to grind, sad and disillusioned to see the site suffer, when so many on here are decent guys, I may well be off base here, but somehow I don't think I am.
29.) 07 Jul 2024 23:04:51
Sadly don't think Lovelace qualifies as home grown yet, with the UEFA rules seemingly defining that as being trained for 3 years under the club / national association. So losing wright would impact the Euro squad as it stands.
30.) 08 Jul 2024 02:42:51
Fork, I get you. You can't post if it don't meet there needs. Don't worry. They are just rambling auld farts.
31.) 08 Jul 2024 09:53:26
It's worse than all the sweetie wife's at the steamie, Dorothy Paul n Elaine c on a bender.
32.) 08 Jul 2024 12:28:36
I don`t think a first team squad of 16-18 with 7 youngsters making it up to 23-25 is enough . We need 2 first team starters for every position at least, and if some of them are youngsters who are good enough, then fair enough . If we want to win the league and get past groups stages in Europe we will need a big squad . The last two or three seasons have shown that .
33.) 08 jul 2024 14:29:21
all i did was ask if it was a fact like union stated, nothing more, union wasnt bothered,
few others seemed to get very upset, , especially brand new names?
34.) 08 Jul 2024 16:43:41
Yeah kinda weird when they don't have engagement with others previously Tom, or do they??.
35.) 08 jul 2024 17:36:19
precisely forky some very irate and aggressive strangers onboard, how many are strangers?
36.) 09 Jul 2024 11:47:26
Heard to McLean is on his way ??????.
07 May 2024 13:10:56
Anyone picking up Jose Cordoba? Panamanian defender playing in Bulgarian. Apparently at the game at the weekend.
1.) 07 May 2024 13:37:36
Was linked in January left footed if I remember correctly.
2.) 07 May 2024 13:40:45
Good info mate, just had a look at him, left footed cb can play lb also and only 22 ooc 2025.
3.) 07 May 2024 13:46:05
Fits trading model, young, CB, 1yr left on contract, not heard a thing or seen anything for that matter.
4.) 07 May 2024 14:14:44
Would he be allowed to come to our game with a year left. Surely press would have got a hold if a fee had been agreed?
5.) 07 May 2024 14:53:17
Wishy press never got a hold of much in jan was on here 1st.
His name got banded about Twitter can’t remember who but he was going thru young players we could be interested in and he was one.
6.) 07 May 2024 14:56:32
Yes we were certainly interested, we met him earlier this year, good info Union Jack.
7.) 07 May 2024 16:27:18
Wishy the press come here for their info.
8.) 07 May 2024 16:54:36
Bit of van halen when he scores.
9.) 07 May 2024 17:45:32
What about the Wishy Press?
10.) 07 May 2024 18:04:01
Great Paper that ibrox.
11.) 07 May 2024 18:44:28
I’m sure a Bulgarian journo tweeted we wanted him in Jan I am not certain. A signing tnat interests me anyway.
12.) 07 May 2024 20:39:34
Storm, that and the ML1 Times….
13.) 07 May 2024 22:20:32
Was him and the big Cm kraev (i think)
04 May 2024 22:00:03
Cortes loan will be extended for another year.
1.) 05 may 2024 06:20:57
that’s great news, i really liked the look of this boy.
2.) 05 May 2024 06:48:28
That's superb news ?I also liked the look of cortes and he's a winger that excites me ie. very fast, very direct and taking on opposition defenders, can go both outside and inside and not afraid to shoot/ has an eye for goal ?I would honestly sign cortes before sima and i really rate/ like sima ???.
3.) 05 May 2024 08:17:14
Hopefully with a price agreed. Think if we can secure Sima this summer and keep Cortes get both of them fit any in form that's a scary prospect for any opposition full back. Both look to be great additions. Think it's also great business from our club. Cortes looked great but because of the injury we didn't see him enough to pay the 3 or 4m he would cost.
4.) 05 May 2024 08:57:53
Does anybody know if Cortes is still in Glasgow? I’m hoping so if we’re planning on extending his loan, I hope he’s settled and gets the chance to hit the ground running next year.
5.) 05 May 2024 16:11:42
If we extent husband I think that will help us afford sima easier this summer… as any Cortes fee then won’t be until next summer… hopefully we can then free up some money for a proper striker.
6.) 06 May 2024 12:01:02
Was a recent post of him with his auld dear, think they were in London though.
7.) 07 May 2024 10:40:44
Would hands down take Cortes over Sima.
I just don't see it in Sima, sorry. Maybe he's too young just now.
30 Apr 2024 22:31:41
Ben Johnson, met and discussed. On circa 20k a week at West ham. Defender comfortable across the back 4, desperate for first team minutes.
1.) 30 Apr 2024 23:59:56
He a fullback mainly rb.
2.) 01 May 2024 08:10:27
He is predominantly a right back that can play left back too.
3.) 01 May 2024 09:20:20
Would be a decent addition good all rounder defensively n pacy going forward.
4.) 01 May 2024 09:41:19
He will sign for Crystal Palace not Rangers.
5.) 01 May 2024 18:39:40
Someone I was talking about last year would like him to sign but can see him opting for a lower prem team first maybe newly promoted team.

Had posted a few times about Cantwell asking to leave.
A real toxicity around our club at the moment. It's a real worry.
1.) 24 Jul 2024 23:28:58
Another big worry is booing our players off at half time in a pre seasons friendly.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 23:48:04
Firstly let me say i like/ rate todd cantwell as a talented footballer but if a player wants out and doesn't want to play for us then they're no good to us to hang onto, for any particular time and they can jog on if not committed to our club and imo that goes for any player at ibrox ?I only want players ?% committed to our club and that's the way it has to be so goodbye todd and thanks for your effort and we move on, simples ?.
3.) 25 Jul 2024 01:09:45
Totally agree, cantwell didn't help himself with the online stuff and calling fans bellends but some of the abuse of players at times is a joke Tav and Goldson especially, sickens me to see an hear it, these guys gave loads of effort for us and gave us many great nights, never hid and very rarely injured, yes has defensive flaws at times but the good far outweigh the bad, I for one will never forget the service they done for us during turbulent times, took us to a European final and stopped potentially umpteen titles in a row from Celtic, if the rest of the squad were in the same fitness mould as Tav and Goldson we would have had a far bigger trophy haul, very rarely injured and never hid regardless of this rubbish bag nonsense, aye maeda ripped him apart but let's just focus on the negative points out of nine years rather than all time British scoring defender, team of the year most times, player of the year alot, Europa top scorer . Aye very good, shameful.
4.) 25 Jul 2024 04:01:42
Mystar the bad performance comes before the booing
I'd say players need to get finger out paid extremely well.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 04:51:26
Good reply Rfc, a game getting your players MATCH FIT in a preseason game yes preseason, but booing from your fans (shocking in my eyes), if you don't think that is a pure embarrassment, that is also cool with me?.
6.) 25 Jul 2024 05:01:49
Mystar correct but it’s the toxic fans I have spoken about it.
7.) 25 Jul 2024 06:30:45
Cantwell is part of the problem too much to say but does too little to back it up.
8.) 25 Jul 2024 07:44:18
I agree with you here My star ?I've never participated in booing a rangers team and never will because i don't believe in it and achieves absolutely nothing imo ? Fair enough to be honest amongst ourselves at the games and on here stating we were bad when we are bad, but booing rangers players not and never will be in my makeup ? It can make players go into their shell and perform much worse and with fear to play their normal game, like i said not right and achieves nothing for me! ?.
23 Jul 2024 09:37:59
More on Cantwell,
Feels unfairly treated by some of the fans and has asked his agent for a move. I am aware his social media is not acceptable, however hardly the most attractive place for players at the moment? It is about of a worry some of our fans behaviour.
Silva had mentioned the same in an interview previously. Albeit he was not great, this may create a bad reputation against sending players to us.
1.) 23 Jul 2024 10:31:30
Love the canty hope he stays.
2.) 23 Jul 2024 10:32:21
When you play for a massive club that expects to win every game surely you have expect scrutiny? Maybe he’s better off at a club like Norwich where you just toddle on?
3.) 23 Jul 2024 10:36:12
Cantwell thinks he is btr than he actually is. His behaviour on social media is ludicrous and not what we expect from a professional footballer. If a deal can be made I think it’s best if we get him off our books ?.
4.) 23 Jul 2024 10:40:17
If you can’t cope with the demands or expectations of the fans at a club like Rangers then just maybe you shouldn’t be playing at Ibrox.
In the words of the late great Walter Smith:-
‘Do not enter unless you are ready to put yourself second - and that should be the one and only time second is good enough for you’.
5.) 23 Jul 2024 11:07:45
I made this suggestion last night after hearing it from a decent source and was shot down and called a Tim I heard it was more than just cantwell.
6.) 23 Jul 2024 11:55:05
2nd place is last place in Glasgow. Start winning trophies and vet fans on your side instead of posting clips from games we lost.
7.) 23 Jul 2024 11:55:22
Correct Carluke and mph.
8.) 23 Jul 2024 12:02:57
Well if players don’t like what happens on social media they could always stop using it. ?
For £20-30k a week I think I could manage that.
9.) 23 Jul 2024 12:33:15
The stories of players wanting out due to fan pressure is 100% bull.
10.) 23 Jul 2024 12:36:46
Cantwell indeed thinks he is better than he is (as most confident players do - me included! ) but what is true is that he is better than most of those in the squad. Yes, he should be doing his talking on the park rather than social media but he is still one of our better players. He needs consistency, to play for the team rather than himself. A good coach would get more from him. I have to agree with previous posters in that Rangers fans are very quick to criticise. We cannot compare current players with previous eras. At Euro 24 we had one player who player (Someone else who many want rid of) Tav, Goldson, Barasic, Lundstrom, Cantwell, Dessers were significant contributors last season. Two are gone - it will be VERY difficult to replace all 6 with better players. I thought the last league campaign was one we had to win. This year is an absolute must as we will be falling behind in more ways than one. Let's get behind our better players, talk them up and maybe will even get a better fee for them when sold rather than fire sale prices.
11.) 23 Jul 2024 12:48:59
More likely he wants to leave because he and the manager don`t see eye to eye . He must know from his first season with us, if he plays well the fans will adore him . We don`t have anyone else with his devilment and his creativity, most of the fans want to see him play they just want him to cut out the stupidity on and off the pitch.
08 Jul 2024 21:47:28
Great to see Nsio over in Holland, cracking young player with a good chance.
1.) 09 Jul 2024 09:12:02
Nsio has the ability to go all the way.
2.) 09 Jul 2024 09:35:23
Nice to see you, Nsio, nice! - Bruce Forsyth.
3.) 09 Jul 2024 10:25:48
Really like him John. Good to see Lovelace out in Holland too.
29 May 2024 10:55:01
Cordoba off.
16 May 2024 16:31:58
Lovelace deal out in 2025 not 2024. Positive news.
26 Jul 2024 13:58:36
Cheers John, I wondered if we had looked at experienced midfielders as alternatives.
26 Jul 2024 09:31:05
Wish him all the best.
25 Jul 2024 21:05:53
I know creeg Robertson met many top English sides at the end of the season to discuss the released list and loan availability.
22 Jul 2024 20:27:47
Brilliant post John, I heard West Brom re cantwell as wants to go.
Goldson could be off to bisgroves club in Saudi.
22 Jul 2024 19:41:53
Brilliant post John.
09 Jul 2024 10:25:48
Really like him John. Good to see Lovelace out in Holland too.
