Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
10 Aug 2020 21:35:48
Seen hagi getting a lot of stick for his past few performances, yes he's been off the boil, maybe he's only a big game player as that's when he seemed to turn it on, in Europe, except from the leverkusen game there, I'm starting to think he might be another Kent, played great whilst on loan to earn the transfer then just chilling out, but I hope I'm wrong and it's just rustiness for now, we all know what he's capable of, we just need to see it week in week out.
10 Aug 2020 22:17:52
Enjoy watching those 2 trying to unlock defences with their passing and pace.
Just glad we have them, they might not get it right every time but when they do it tends to be worth the wait.
10 Aug 2020 22:52:30
Mate it's the same all the time. A player has a few games were they haven't performed the best, and they get absolutely panned on here. Just cause a player costs a few bob, doesn't automatically mean he is going to light up every game, just the same as if a player is free, sowant mean he's going to be utter baws.
10 Aug 2020 23:20:35
Hagi could turn out to be a very important player for us this season, he's good on the ball, always trying to move the play on and loves a dig at goal, he's a player and given a wee bit of time (I know it's not the season for patience) he'll be a great asset, imo.
11 Aug 2020 00:41:35
Some players I have seen having more than one stinker in a row:
John Greig
Jim Baxter
Ralph Brand
Willie Henderson
Willie Johnston
Colin Stein
Sandy Jardine
Derek Johnstone
Davie Cooper
Richard Gough
Ten of the finest Scots ever to pull on our jersey. Thank goodness they played in an era when they weren't subjected to the bile and vitriol that today passes for 'opinion' from people who probably couldn't find Ibrox with a sat nav and when supporters actually supported. A lad goes off the boil and is instantly criticised, a great young striker loses his way and is vilified as a failure, some people really need to ask themselves if the term 'fan' actually applies to them.
11 Aug 2020 06:07:16
Bang on the money the covenanter 👍
Some of our supporters think our players are robots and everything has to be black or white! Like yourself mate, i've been going to watch the rangers for a lot of years now and football has to be understood that its NOT black or white, as there's many contributing factors in-between!
11 Aug 2020 07:48:42
Well said Covenanter.
11 Aug 2020 07:59:53
100% agree covenanter. Great post 👍.
11 Aug 2020 08:01:24
He was poor v Aberdeen, no real chance v Leverkusen and never done anything wrong v st Mirren, cracking taker of a pass and generally tidy in possession, lots of movement. He is just a victim of how much of an impact he made creatively at first, he is a player and will be great for us, and we should nt be over relying on these single players, we are now spreading the load between the side with better standard of player arrivals all over the pitch over time.
11 Aug 2020 13:17:55
Tottishaw brilliant post mate 100%agree.
10 Aug 2020 21:19:09
Weekend complete 😁
Thank you rangers 💙
Thank you Brann ♥️
Thank you Killie 🤍.
10 Aug 2020 22:41:55
Jsijenkins congratulations was that you're coupon up? Well done pal treat yourself to a pint.
10 Aug 2020 23:07:48
Not a coupon unfortunately king Walter.
Just with us winning and Celtic dropping points I've been celebrating.
And my home city team SK Brann ein 2-1 against Molde Tonight so I'm a happy man.
As a proud Bergen native Brann is in my blood.
11 Aug 2020 08:01:05
Hi jsi, where does your Scottish/ Rangers connection come from?
11 Aug 2020 08:19:33
Seeker it comes from my mother, she worked in Scotland before I was born but her affinity towards rangers grew when tore Andre Flo signed.
11 Aug 2020 08:42:27
Great stuff! Btw I thought big Flo was a great player. Still vilified by a lot of so called fans and I could never really work out why. His goals record was amazing wherever he went and I bet fans would love to see him here now.
11 Aug 2020 09:00:23
But like Ryan Kent and Hagi people see a pricetag seeker it has always been the case.
11 Aug 2020 14:47:50
TBH, I think people outside Scotland find it hard to accept that anybody playing in our league is worth a lot of money, it's an over inflated ego thing with some other countries.
11 Aug 2020 23:44:05
Jsi 👍.
10 Aug 2020 21:13:00
I was looking forward to watching Mudraziga for Copenhagen against Man U tonight given he has been mentioned a few times on here as a possible midfield reinforcement. Gutted he's on the bench and won't get to see much of him. The boy Fernandes for Man U looks ok, should maybe bid for him.
10 Aug 2020 21:25:20
Should be able to afford him 😁.
10 Aug 2020 21:07:15
Leave hagi alone. A young player learning his trade he will be a good yin. Believe me.
10 Aug 2020 21:04:33
Here’s on for you all.
Went to the Ibrox store on Friday. Que was down to Edminston drive went back home. Went again today thinking it would be quiet but was mobbed again but this time I decided to wait.
To say the megastore has been ransacked is an understatement! The rails we half empty on every product!
I’m not a mathematician but the average price of a Castore product is approx £50 maybe higher, and I guess there would be around 100,000 units of stock across all 3 kits, track suits etc so (simple numbers time)
100,000 x 50 = 5m In under a week!
Feel free to correct me but that won’t include all the online shirt kit sales etc! AND the £20m kit deal over 4 years!
Nor the season ticket sales or European money!
Well done to all the fans who have pumped money in to the club,
10 Aug 2020 21:39:59
There won't have been 100,000 units of stock in store, I eouldnt think? I agree the sales will have been massive tho, not been up yet but a few of the lads have been up and said it was manic.
10 Aug 2020 21:45:54
Well we would still have de million from loyal fans desperate to buy kit!
The shop itself is beautiful, but at this rate it will be empty.
10 Aug 2020 22:30:04
We done get to keep all that 5 million. And its not under a week as 50k was ordered over 1 month ago. Still very promising. It is indeed essential we continue to buy it all up. As season ticket money and europe money barely gets us through the season. Hence why i think Morelos will definitely be away to balance the books and cover this years spending.
10 Aug 2020 23:49:52
Go on to the celtic page, they'll tell you what we've sold, how much we've not made, how the quality of the kit is and you will find out how much money we don't have, when we are going bust and there is a guy called timalloy who will make you millions of money if you follow his great bets and as a bonus you will be entertained because he tells stories about all these fantasy made up people who he makes a fool of every week because they support Rangers, the guy is amazing 😂🤣.
11 Aug 2020 01:00:57
Agreed blacthorn, moving in right direction 👍.
11 Aug 2020 06:14:06
Yes cooper232, that very obsessive celtic fan, sorry rangers fan called timalloy, has been on this site more than me, well maybe not more than me but way too much for being a so called celtic fan😂But then again he's not alone because you're spot on mate, they know more about the rangers than us and their so called own club👍That obsessive lot really do have to get a life, so they do!
11 Aug 2020 14:51:40
Don't forget folks, I would imagine that the 100K is UK Revenue, we are a Worldwide Brand, that figure of £5Million could be a drop in the ocean.
10 Aug 2020 20:52:37
We're all wondering whether by the end of the transfer window on october the 5th, if our star ⭐ striker alfredo morelos will still be a rangers player or not 🤔Like i've said many times on here, if alfredo does go, i honestly don't think he'll be signing for lille or any other club in the french ligue one for that matter. If we do sell him, what league do we reckon morelos will go to? So ED, would you be so kind and run a poll on this please mate? The poll reading, if morelos is sold, what league do we think he'll go to ie.
The English Premier League, The Spanish La Liga, The German Bundesliga, The Italian Serie A, The French Ligue One? Cheers ED,
much appreciated pal 👍.
{Ed033's Note -
Morelos Poll
10 Aug 2020 22:17:53
Steven Gerard loyal, why on earth do you care where he goes? If and when he does go what difference will it make to you pal? Will you feel relieved if he doesn't sign for a French team because you said he won't many times? A bit like the Dyke's scenario and everything else you get into you're head then do your best to convince others! calm down pal.
11 Aug 2020 06:16:50
Kingwalter, that's got absolutely hee-haw to do with you whether i'm bothering/ wondering if morelos goes or where he goes to pal! Its a topic of conversation amongst a helluva lot of bears just now, in case you've been under a rock 😂.
11 Aug 2020 07:52:08
Correct does not make a jot of difference where alf eventually goes. We take highest bid that exceeds our value and then wish the lad well.
11 Aug 2020 08:20:16
If he goes I doubt anyone cares where as long as rangers get best deal they can.
11 Aug 2020 14:53:10
Spot on my friend, I'll say it again, no player is bigger than the Club.
10 Aug 2020 19:41:29
I won't be surprised if next season we see bids from us and the Tims for Kevin Nesbit. He is a big Rangers man too so hopefully that might give us the edge. I can see him having an outstanding season for Hibs. He was kind of in the shade of Shankland during the preseason chat about strikers. I have no doubts he will shine brighter than Shankland this year in the premiership. The lad is a natural goal scorer. Nothing fancy just bags of goals!
10 Aug 2020 19:57:12
Sure he is a rangers man?
10 Aug 2020 20:13:54
Did someone not say on here on saturday night, that kevin nisbet was a celtic supporter and wouldn't have went to rangers, as that would have put paid to any dreams of playing for celtic in the future? 🤔.
10 Aug 2020 20:21:29
First thing that crossed my mind when I read he scored a hat-trick - who will be the first daftie to replace Shankland, Dykes, Cosgrove etc with this guy. C of Ibrox, you win. Wonder whose turn it will be next week?
10 Aug 2020 21:25:25
Brilliant covenanter! good luck to the boy Nisbet but in my opinion he is not good enough for us,
10 Aug 2020 21:42:06
I saw the celtic post as well.
10 Aug 2020 19:41:03
Gregory Vignal well done on the new job.
10 Aug 2020 19:02:17
For all you bears who are running hagi down saying he's not worth what we paid for him give the lad time he'll show you. Another thing he cost less than half what we paid for Kent. he was getting pelters recently.
10 Aug 2020 19:17:24
Hagi will be one of the best in the last decade no doubt.
10 Aug 2020 19:25:37
Agree thing Hagi will be special for us and form a great relationship with Kent alla Gazza and Laudrup.
10 Aug 2020 19:27:51
Kent won't be tho.
10 Aug 2020 19:34:31
I just think he is too inconsistent and don’t think that will change but very happy for him to prove me wrong.
10 Aug 2020 20:17:04
Morelos has been inconsistent than hagi since hagi came here🤦♂️👍.
10 Aug 2020 20:22:59
Consistency comes with experience.
10 Aug 2020 20:23:02
First it’s Morelos now it’s Hagi.
1 defeat this season against a very good BL side and some of our supporters are still not happy.
10 Aug 2020 22:15:53
Coldo, did Morelos call you a bad name, or give you a doing or something. you can't have one post without bringing the boy down. you just can't help yourself can you. Hagi has been more consistent than your boy Kamara.
10 Aug 2020 18:25:30
Feels like we may have Morelos at least for a few weeks yet and if his head has been straightened out I think that's great. Think he will start on Wednesday with Itte and Roofe (if fit) on the bench.
10 Aug 2020 18:45:03
Agree bAnkie. Although I don’t see many praising our manager for helping straighten him out a bit.
10 Aug 2020 18:55:49
Think roofe maybe a week or two away from being fit.
Is McGregor our for long? It’s not a problem as the new keeper seems fine just wondering.
10 Aug 2020 19:17:03
I'd actually feel more confident with McLaughlin. Greggs has been a terrific servant to us, but big john is more commanding and better with the ball at feet. Feel terrible to say but looks like father time is catching up with shagger.
10 Aug 2020 20:03:03
Agree John25, very few if any (including myself) thought SG would start with Morelos yesterday. Great shout by SG and reaction.
10 Aug 2020 20:31:54
Greggsy has been brilliant for Rangers and he along with McLaughlin will no doubt be vital in our quest for silverware this season.
10 Aug 2020 21:02:45
Bankie, he is still our best striker. Our manager is showing the player faith and got a reaction, long may that continue for me.
10 Aug 2020 21:07:33
SG said magregor should be fit for Wednesday.
10 Aug 2020 18:12:00
Good to see the new lb name is confirmed as Calvin ughelumba .
the lad deserves to have his correct name used.
10 Aug 2020 18:32:50
John25, lot of letters for a shirt I think, would never catch on.
10 Aug 2020 19:02:54
Bankie nothing as severe as van bronkhorst.
10 Aug 2020 19:44:02
Yeah but try pronouncing that on a Saturday night on your way back from the pub with a kebab in your mouth!
10 Aug 2020 19:54:08
Bankie especially if he gets full Sunday name Bassey-Ughelumba.
10 Aug 2020 18:02:02
2 games on plastic pitches this month at Livvy and Hamilton. 18 points and top of league at end of August! would be decent start.
10 Aug 2020 18:07:49
Would be ideal.
10 Aug 2020 18:11:27
1 game at a time troops👍.
10 Aug 2020 15:34:36
Anyone think we should target Scandinavian market for players? Think there's bargains to be had plus those boys are hardy and a Wednesday night at Dingwall, Pittodrie in the freezing winter won't faze these lads?
10 Aug 2020 15:49:40
Bgate it would be the best decision the club could make. I know that market very well.
10 Aug 2020 15:52:17
Agree mate good shout.
10 Aug 2020 15:57:57
Maybe should look into the Scandinavian model of youth academies as well.
10 Aug 2020 15:59:05
Just think there’s some top players and these lads wouldn’t be shocked at the conditions we play and train in etc.
10 Aug 2020 16:01:48
Us so would you say rangers should sign to improve the team, remember in the price range.
10 Aug 2020 16:15:11
Sondre Rossbach
Mohamed kudus
Magnus kofod
I reckon they are the best in rangers price range as none would cost more than 1.5 mil upfront.
10 Aug 2020 16:19:52
Robert Mudrazija would fit the bill of a defensive midfielder also.
10 Aug 2020 16:20:39
Karlo bartolec young right back 23 from FC Nordsjaeland.
10 Aug 2020 16:23:25
Rangers should sign the players they want from anywhere. There are other markets just as good, if not better than, Scandinavia.
10 Aug 2020 16:35:23
Let’s see what happens to them JS.
I think we r about to target Africa, new coach coming to academy in October.
10 Aug 2020 17:01:50
John you do realise who that coach is coming from? A partnership in the Scandinavian league with Fc midtyland if I'm not mistaken.
10 Aug 2020 17:12:54
The new coach is coming in from FC Nordsjaeland so 3 of the players I've mentioned he has coached.
Not to mention a certain Andreas Skov Olsen.
10 Aug 2020 17:22:28
Yes I do, I posted this about three weeks ago, this was a direction Wilson wants for our academy
His name escapes me for now and I can’t be bothered googling.
10 Aug 2020 17:26:37
JS can’t have been at Nordsjaeland very long.
10 Aug 2020 17:39:34
It is a partnership between the date to dream academy and FC Nordsjaeland mate so share coaching experience and scouting knowledge.
It is the reason so many youths get the opportunity.
10 Aug 2020 17:57:05
Lad only left Aberdeen academy eighteen months ago. Hopefully he has already generated a few contacts that will benefit us in the future.
10 Aug 2020 18:26:32
Thought Ghana?
10 Aug 2020 19:59:24
Bankie. Think his name Cameron Campbell. He left Aberdeen academy to work for the Dare to Dream Academy, Ghana. They r heavily linked with danish club.
Not sure if one in the same. We recruited him from the danish club.
Wilson wants a heavy connection to African players.
Not sure how it will work as Dutch, french, Belgium danish clubs can recruit at 12. Sure uk can’t
We can obviously base our foreign academy abroad.
10 Aug 2020 20:57:21
Thanks John25 and JSI, good posts, demonstrates informed strategic leadership and planning from our board imo.
10 Aug 2020 22:26:02
I agree bankie, I understand this is being driven by Wilson and gerrard.
10 Aug 2020 23:43:18
Mo kudus just signed for Ajax 8 million.
11 Aug 2020 12:00:33
I hear Baro Carbolic would clean up in Scottish football.
10 Aug 2020 13:41:27
Turns out Lille have moved on from Morelos and have targeted umar sadiq.
10 Aug 2020 14:22:21
Haha bgate they are in for a rude awakening. He's as aggressive as my cat.
10 Aug 2020 15:30:23
Bgate w, i've stated from the outset that i personally don't think alfredo morelos will be signing for Lille! That's fine by me, that lille are possibly turning their attentions to umar sadiq, instead of alfredo, as i rate morelos very highly and like him 👌Truth be told,
Umar Sadiq couldn't lace Alfredo's boots, of that there's NO DOUBT!
10 Aug 2020 15:47:47
Sgl where do you think Morelos will end up if he leaves? And for the record I don’t think there’s a comparison with Morelos and sadiq. 👍.
10 Aug 2020 15:53:04
OMG the 6foot bambey lol.
10 Aug 2020 16:04:45
I honestly think morelos will sign for a club in the spanish la liga or english premier league bgate w 👍
What about yourself, where do you think morelos will go?
10 Aug 2020 16:55:01
If he goes I think Spain or England but I don’t know if we are pricing him out of a move?
10 Aug 2020 17:59:53
Good means we can keep him.
10 Aug 2020 18:14:44
We all choose to laugh about Sadiq, mainly due to that dive against the sheep, looks like he may have the last laugh.
10 Aug 2020 18:17:28
I would only love to keep him KJA9,
if he knuckles down and gets over his disappointment now, of most likely not going to be signing for lille mate! I'm like you KJA9,i have always backed alfredo and Obviously rate him very highly, but i'd only like/ want him to stay if he wants to stay, as there's no use if he's definitely made up his mind that he wants to go, trying to keep an unhappy player.
10 Aug 2020 18:45:41
Everyone is well aware of fredo's ability, its never been in question. Its when he sulks and doesn't bother that's the issue. He downed tools in january and went in a huff because he never got a move. Then Gerrard has said he wants him fitter sharper and interested. That's the issue I have with him. What if he doesn't get a move this window, will he down tools again? If we get the fredo from the start of last season then we will all be delighted👍.
10 Aug 2020 18:59:09
Coldo he has always been huffy every since he came he just wants to score goals and sometimes for strikers it doesn’t happen.
You keep mentioning SG saying he wants Him fitter and sharper when the same SG has stated before each game he is fit and raring to go 🙈.
10 Aug 2020 18:59:16
There’s always that danger coldo. like I said earlier for the benefit of out team I hope he screws the nutt and Gerrard keeps him in check.
10 Aug 2020 21:38:44
He say's he is fit before the games but after the games he say's he wants him fitter sharper and interested. KJA9🙈🤦♂️👍.
11 Aug 2020 12:01:35
Coldo, i've never came across a striker within scottish football for a while like alfredo morelos, who can totally dominate/ occupy a full backline, on his own up top! 👌He's a total nightmare for centre halfs to play against and he bullies them stupid, with his incredible upper body strength.
Although he hasn't yet scored against celtic, he actually mostly always plays well against their centre halfs. Just look at the last old firm game last december, at breeze block boulevard! He bullied both big julliet and ajer with ease and they just couldn't cope with him. I truly think alfredo would be a revelation in spanish football, with that ability to bully and occupy a backline on his own. Its diego costa esque! 👌.
10 Aug 2020 13:35:56
Was reading there that a film company has plans to make a film about the life of the one and only MR PAUL GASCOINE .
What a movie that would be with endless amounts of content available some good, some sad, some bad and lots of hilarious parts to chose from.
The man was an absolute magician on the field for all of the teams lucky enough to have had him on their books and one of the greatest players to ever play for us and i'm glad that i was fortunate to see him and laudrup take the pish every week.
How good were they two .
ABSOLUTE LEGEND.
10 Aug 2020 14:17:09
Spot on 3 cheers, that would be some movie right enough.
An absolute pleasure to have watched a legend like gazza pull on a Jersey for the famous.
Loved Laudrup aswell 3 cheers but just sumhin special watching gazza, he always carried a special atmosphere everywhere he went, if that makes sense.
10 Aug 2020 16:08:36
Yes truly the greatest english footballer of the last half a century at least, with ease! 👌I also rate him the greatest/ best player to have ever worn the famous glasgow rangers jersey. A total genius with a natural, god given talent, which he was born with! 👌You can't teach/ coach paul gascoigne's ability into a player! What a footballer 👌.
10 Aug 2020 18:06:40
Gaza never the greatest. That accolade falls to MrJohn Greig.
10 Aug 2020 18:19:57
Coops, agree wonderful player. If made I actually think this will be a depressing and poor quality film. The story has been told so many times and his off field issues and poor behaviour will dominate.
10 Aug 2020 19:23:47
I absolutely love big john greig but common John25 that's biased as biased can be mate. Gazza is a more talented footballer than john greig👌 He is the most talented footballer to ever play for rangers, i didn't stipulate that he was the overall greatest ranger, which undoubtedly is john greig and was voted for by us the supporters!
10 Aug 2020 19:52:41
Greatest ever Ranger I saw was John Greig, although my father always told me big George Young would have him in his pocket. Most accomplished players I saw on the park were Baxter, Gough, Tugay, Souness, Cooper and Laudrup.
10 Aug 2020 22:28:57
That’s not how your post reads SGL. Any way as debated before he is in top three. Cooper Baxter Gascoigne.
10 Aug 2020 12:41:24
Umar Sadiq to Lille as an alternative to Morelos.
Clearly Lille don't rate him too highly?
10 Aug 2020 14:23:18
Yet we both know who the better playeris.
10 Aug 2020 14:35:27
For someone who supposedly doesn't have an agenda against Morelos, you're having a difficult job hiding your wee digs in every post about him🤔
What happened to that post about supporting anyone who wears the Rangers jersey?
10 Aug 2020 15:02:27
Morelos is a million times better than him. I'm just stating a that they obviously don't value him highly.
10 Aug 2020 16:14:46
They clearly don't rate him highly enough or he would be gone by now.
10 Aug 2020 16:37:46
BWD always the voice of reason. Well done sir correct again.
10 Aug 2020 18:01:44
Lille like every other club will have more than one target.
If they don’t get one they go to another imagine that.
10 Aug 2020 18:16:31
Well said KJA9.
Somebody else who realises Morelos true worth to the team and obviously not blinded by their hatred of Morelos like others to realise how the transfer world really works.
We won’t miss the water until the well runs dry!
10 Aug 2020 18:23:43
Or probably they just did a bit of research. Then saw all of the tantrums.
10 Aug 2020 12:24:45
Hi
The feel good factor is well and truly with Rangers ATM, Celtic fans are hurting but Lennon thinks all is well.
Hope this continues.
10 Aug 2020 17:41:32
It’s only Monday, let’s see where things stand in couple of weeks.
10 Aug 2020 18:02:26
Not going by a few on here it’s not.
Haye to see what they are like when we drop points.
11 Aug 2020 15:05:48
Is Sadiq not coming from Serie A guys a much better league than ours, if so, he may well have bulked up and improved a lot.
10 Aug 2020 12:04:40
Hi
Although I am happy the way things are going for Rangers, I still think the way we are dominating games, our goal ratio should be better.
Being only one goal to the good during games is hard viewing until we score two, even though we are dominating we all know what can happen.
We need to take more of our chances when we create so many, we won't always dominate this much every week.

I think he has to seriously consider switching to two up top. Its one thing having possession but against better organised side we will struggle to break them down. Again yesterday we were mostly restricted to long shots and crosses that were aimed at no one. I really can't understand, with the exception of celtic, why we don't play with two ST's in the spl. 👍.
10 Aug 2020 13:30:42
How will 2 strikers help us break down teams?
All you are doing is crowding the opposition box even more.
Plus Tav and the normally reliable Barisic crossing was woeful yesterday.
Factor in both Hagi, Kent and Aribo weren't at their best and there is nearly half our team having an off day.
Thank goodness for the uninterested striker though for his 2 goals and an assist. 👍👍👍.
10 Aug 2020 13:35:28
Wouldn’t mind seeing a partnership up top.
10 Aug 2020 14:24:52
yet all goals came from a cross? Not even mentioning the saves.
10 Aug 2020 14:39:56
The own goal was put in at knee height.
Morelos had to stoop to score his header.
And his second was a tap in.
Hardly what I would call crosses into the box to a 2 up front formation. 👍.
10 Aug 2020 15:28:34
We won 3-0 Mr Potato Head, so what more do you want? Last season we might have drawn this game 1-1. Some people are never happy.
10 Aug 2020 15:43:04
Last week I read on here what is meant to be a RANGERS site how some wished Alf could score striker goals ie tap ins like Edouard.
This week I read alf scored two goals but wait only st mirren and they were tap ins. Wtf.
10 Aug 2020 10:55:50
yesterday could've been a cricket score if we didn't start both Jack and Kamara, I like both, however they aren't attacking minded players, better option was to drop one of them put hagi into midfield and have jones or Barker running at that St Mirren defense.
10 Aug 2020 11:44:57
100% agree, just have Jack sitting with aribo and hagi pulling the strings for the front 3, I always feel kamara offers nothing going forward and slows the game down, I'm aware he's a dm, but do we realy need 2 playing when were playing the game in there box.
10 Aug 2020 12:24:46
Agree to an extent guys, but the game slowed down even more when arfield and Davis came on.
10 Aug 2020 12:28:45
Do we really need 3 cm's and 1 ST in the spl? That's the issue👍.
10 Aug 2020 12:35:59
I like 1 up top but 4-2-3-1 formation not 4-3-3.
10 Aug 2020 13:30:13
It was a 4-2-3-1 we played yesterday, I think Hagi was rubbish yesterday he has a great range of passing but he’s always looking to shoot and defenders know it, if he played a little deeper alongside Jack he’d have more time on the ball and maybe be able to pick off the killer passes we’re looking for.
10 Aug 2020 14:26:35
people are obsessed with us and gerrards 433 even though its actually a constantly changing formation through the game.
10 Aug 2020 15:11:49
Highland bear agree about hagi. fancy flicks mask over his ineffectiveness.
10 Aug 2020 16:02:15
The system of 2 “holding” mids is to allow our 2 full backs to press higher up the park and they need cover. The movement between the 3 behind Morelos, who is also now dropping in to leave spaces is working. Our Formation isn’t rigid like a 433 or a 442 it’s interchanging and without doubt the way forward.
10 Aug 2020 16:46:51
Totally agree Scotty. And as we saw yesterday when one of our centre backs broke jack and or kamara covered them.
10 Aug 2020 20:52:43
I agree it’s the job of any DM to cover at the back But there’s no creativity between Jack and Kamara none and we most definitely need more creativity.
10 Aug 2020 10:49:29
We're sitting joint top, had a good win yesterday, have scored 4 goals in 2 games. 2 clean sheets.
What are we discussing today? Morelos🤔
Pretty much the same discussions we've had the last few days, weeks!
Seem to be going round in circles 😁.
10 Aug 2020 11:08:58
Yip lol.
10 Aug 2020 12:29:48
Do you want to go fishing for tims grumpy🤔😁👍.
10 Aug 2020 10:21:21
Watched Sportscene. Glad to see the back of Michael Stewart. Nice of the BBC to replace him with two ex-Celtic players as punters though! I thought the Rangers team looked very good indeed and could/ should have scored several more.
10 Aug 2020 10:30:01
It was good to see wee Saun Malloney
He looked as though that big couch was going to swallow him up.
Brought back memories of him on only an excuse playing on his wee toy car.
10 Aug 2020 11:13:17
Stewart was on on Saturday night, I didn't watch though as I find him obnoxious.
10 Aug 2020 12:55:41
Craig Gordon on sportscene, st Mirren should have had a penalty because the foul was almost on the line, great analysis, should have had a penalty as he was fouled almost on the line, where do they get these wallopers from?
10 Aug 2020 15:13:00
of you look at the clip. his foot was inside the box. If we had VAR it would have been a penalty. lucky for us it wasnt.
10 Aug 2020 15:30:18
I did see that forfarbear! 😂.
10 Aug 2020 09:48:22
We must have signed around 5 great players because of interest to play and learn under Gerrard. Just as I hope there's no Dubai break this year I hope there's no Liverpool youngster on loan. We need to play and develop our own. I believe we have every position covered for the first time in 10 years now.
10 Aug 2020 10:25:56
There is no winter break this season.
10 Aug 2020 17:00:49
I still think we need a dominant CM to play alongside Jack. Ideally a box to box player.
We could do with a RF as well (depending on what Roofe has been signed as) but need to offload at least 2 of Murphy, Middleton, Jones or (possibly) Barker.
10 Aug 2020 09:10:37
To say a born striker is uninterested is a joke. Is everyone on this site saying if you're playing for the mighty Glasgow rangers your not trying you're best. Well done Alfredo. Long may it continue.
10 Aug 2020 09:33:45
Well said👏.
10 Aug 2020 09:44:28
He has looked that way only a blind man is unable to see.
Played great yesterday and if he could be trusted to have that attitude from now till May I would be delighted to have him.
But 2 years of evidence says that can't happen.
10 Aug 2020 10:12:25
Seems very personal with him for you js. If your citing the last 2 years surely we should just get rid of every player because he's almost singlehandedly carried us for 2 seasons.
10 Aug 2020 10:23:41
I think it’s delusional to suggest 1 guy Morelos carrying rangers for 2 years . I would like to see him screw the nutt and be consistent for whole season like any rangers player.
10 Aug 2020 10:24:38
If he’s singlehandedly carries us for two years
Then it sounds like your calling out Gerrard managerial abilities herewego55
He has bought in nearly every player at the club now bar a few
So are you saying he’s wasted money and brought in crap players if we need Alfie to carry the team he has spent our clubs good money on?
In which case should Gerrard still be manager?
10 Aug 2020 10:26:48
jS get a grip you are starting to sound as bad as coldo.
10 Aug 2020 10:28:39
He hasn't been interested since the winter break. 👍.
10 Aug 2020 10:29:09
Nothing personal and not every player has had the amount of red cards as he has.
I haven't forgotten how well he has done for us but in the big moments he let's is down.
Herewego I merely say the truth.
10 Aug 2020 11:01:27
Ryan Jack has had 5 red cards in 3 years.
Morelos has had 7.
Are we ditching Jack as well?
Sounds personal 🤔.
10 Aug 2020 11:06:10
Didn't look like anyone was interested since the winter break Coldo👍
But then Morelos is the easy target.
Whereas the best £7 million we ever spent continues to get an easy ride from you. Thankfully we weren't relying on him to score yesterday if you and others had got your wish and benched Morelos as Kent had left his shooting boots in the house!
10 Aug 2020 11:52:54
Ryan Jack had a few of those recinded, most were dubious otherwise. All Morelos reds were reds.
If he stays Kent morelos roofe up top with Defoe itten to change it up could be the deciding factor.
If he stays and he's on it bring it on, if he goes the new guys need to hit the ground running.
10 Aug 2020 12:03:01
The stig before this season i would say gerrard has waisted a fair bit if cash on transfers and wages yes. Up until end of last season he was probably 50/ 50 hit/ miss signings.
10 Aug 2020 12:56:33
Don’t disagree paul86 to be honest I’ve said the same thing previously
Questioned our scouting team at time’s
Anyway let’s just see if we can get the winning formula this season.
10 Aug 2020 13:03:54
Maybe SG's tactics and what he's asked Alfie to do in games is more to do with his inept performances. He was back sniffing around inside the box yesterday, that's what we pay him to do, linking up play and pulling defenders about is okay if you have midfielders who are always up in support of the lone striker, but that hasn't been the case. I thought Itten looked willing yesterday, he was moving about the 18 yard are looking for snippets, on at least 3 occasions he asked for a ball to be played to him into the channel, but no, Haji in particular decided to cut back inside, and the chance was lost.
10 Aug 2020 13:31:15
Dundee Hamilton Fred has had red rescinded as well.
10 Aug 2020 08:10:39
Morning.
So good result and performance v St mirren.
Buzzing Alfie got a few.
We have scored 4 goals in the league and Alfie has been involved in all 4. Imagine if he was interested playing for us and wasn't a shte player 🙄.
Anyway my point here is, people dig up our players but they can't even do it for the right reasons. Tav v Bayern, people saying he should have stayed with the runner. the reason they scored is that he DID stay with the runner n kept him onside.
29 goals pre Xmas from Alfie is a great return but he's shte?
We all have our opinions but at least dig up our players for the correct reasons if at. all.
10 Aug 2020 09:06:38
Great post mate. Alfie equals goals. Goals win you trophies.
10 Aug 2020 09:09:09
Never once claimed he's a bad player. But his form and attitude deserved the bench.
10 Aug 2020 09:21:13
Alfie Alfie Alfie, like any rangers player from the start of time will be criticised if he is not doing it and even more so if he seems uninterested that criticism will be worse. If he performs consistently then great but let’s not forget better players than Alfie have been subject of criticism for less. But let me say no matter who pulls on the rangers shirt I will always support them and I was happy to see Alfie get his goals yesterday like any other fan!
10 Aug 2020 09:22:38
Js your posts have pretty much said he's rubbish, without using they actual words. His attitude looked fine to me yesterday, he always like huffy when he isn't scoring or being subbed and i'd expect that. If he's go a smile in either situation i'd be worried. He wants a move. to a better league, that's never been a secret n nor is it a bad thing.
SG had a word with him after Thurs. about his attitude and decided to play him, a decision which was justified yet you still think he shouldn't have been anywhere near the team. It really shows. your have no clue what so ever.
10 Aug 2020 09:41:17
I have never and will never say he is rubbing as that is plain wrong.
The managers decision was justified yes I did not and will not argue that fact.
Do I feel he should have been in the starting lineup yesterday? No I don't it's easy to look at things in hindsight.
What is more difficult is to speak honestly which I always do.
So on the fact I have never resorted to calling fellow poster clueless I would say I have more of s clue about how respect should be shown and opinions should be expressed without animosity.
10 Aug 2020 10:05:06
To be honest the form Alfredo was in he was lucky the new striker only had 1 training session and Defoe injury as I think he’d have been rightly dropped for poor form. But hey he’s took his chance and done his job.
10 Aug 2020 10:09:40
Bgate completely correct he got a last chance purely due to they exact circumstances.
He took his chance and I celebrated them all the same.
10 Aug 2020 10:18:23
KRi55
You sort of being hypocritical of yourself there,
In your post your slagging people off for getting g on Morelos back and pretty much saying it’s not justified, but in the same post you say Gerrard has had to pull him aside and have words with him?
Surely Gerrard wouldn’t need to have words with him when he’s being playing so great recently?
So what is it? He’s been playing fantastic and the Gerrard convo never took place?
Or has the criticism from folk on here been justified and Gerrard has also noticed it and did indeed have words with him?
Which by the way resulted in a much better better performance from him yesterday 🤔🤔.
10 Aug 2020 10:23:27
Js you've stated that Gerrard was wrong to include him in the squad. I. think after discussions Gerrard is better placed than you. You seem to dislike Morelos. Has been perfect? No far from it. But he has done far more good than bad! Remember none of this team have won anything so how can you pin it all on Alfie!
10 Aug 2020 10:30:54
Stig brilliantly put mate we live in a different dimension apparently.
10 Aug 2020 10:48:38
As I said kri55 it's easy to comment with hindsight my friend.
I stick by what I said i'm glad he done well but any other manager would have benched him.
10 Aug 2020 11:14:30
Its not contradictory at all. With some peoples reactions its been way over the top. If u read properly you'll see i have stated Morelos has t been perfect. but we have played 2 games, scored 4 and Alfie has contributed to all 4 goals.
The same folk who slate Alfie for his mishaps don't acknowledge his good points.
Ryan jack was hopeless on Thurs night, yet not a peep from anyone, as was Steve Davis.
Last year v Porto jack Gave the ball away for Porto goal n not one negative. Again v Celtic his bad tackle allowed Celtic a. shot and goal. Again nothing
It seems certain folk on here pick certain. Players ( Tav Alfie and gold son) always get critisized.
Sometimes a player needs a wee word in their ear, doesn't mean they are rubbish as some folk have stated. Gerrard has also said he spoke to more than just Alfie btw .
10 Aug 2020 11:23:59
Your totally correct eh whole team after Xmas has been a joke
And the same happened the year before
So let’s just hope they have learned including Gerrard and we can take the fight to the wire at the very least 👍.
10 Aug 2020 07:54:14
What a difference a week makes!
Last weekend we had Rangers fans on here creaming their pants at how wonderful Edouard was and how they’d love Rangers to play the “Celtic Way” after they beat a woeful Hamilton side.
Yesterday other Rangers fans have now said Morelos has put his “7 month” mood to one side whilst others said it’s “only St Mirren”!
Me? I’ll never big up Celtic! And as long as a player pulls on a Rangers jersey he gets my 100% support.
Plus we are only 2 games into the season!
10 Aug 2020 09:06:48
St Mirren was a good win for us. I can see them getting something off the Tims on Wednesday.
I saw highlights on Sky yesterday and big Julia at the back doesn’t like a player in his face and struggles.
And totally agree bb any player wearing the blue Rangers jersey gets my 100% support.
10 Aug 2020 09:34:00
I like the way Rangers were moving the ball about yesterday. Just need to be more clinical. Balongun looks a real find.
10 Aug 2020 09:46:38
I'll always support every player that wears our shirt but I will criticize when criticism is due.
10 Aug 2020 10:03:22
Agree 100% Bluebell. I also thought we were fantastic yesterday, the first half hour was the best intensity I have seen from us in the league in a while.
10 Aug 2020 06:06:45
No Alfie no league as stated previously. The man is a goalscorer machine. uninterested your having a laugh.
10 Aug 2020 09:10:22
Looks like no league then by your logic you might as well give up.
He will leave, he wants to leave and good luck to him.
10 Aug 2020 13:13:33
NO player is bigger than Rangers FC, Alfie's problems have been caused by his dumb agent, and to a degree by the way SG has asked him to play in some games, the linking and creation should be left to the midfield, Alfie is there to finish off the chances created. I ate humble pie this morning, as I thought he was superb yesterday. I noticed when Arfield came on he was half a yard off the pace, leading to that stupid foul on the edge of the box, he will also be frustrated I feel, as he is more direct than some players in team at present.
10 Aug 2020 01:18:46
Good results let's not get carried away now we must keep the pressure on there throat they will slip up again we must be ready to take advantage consistency wins the league.
10 Aug 2020 05:05:00
Don't think anyone is getting carried away? Good start though! And the pressure is all on them! Everyone and their dog has them winning 10.
10 Aug 2020 05:46:42
Well drop points as well we struggled against st mirren man.
10 Aug 2020 06:31:42
Rfc, if we keep doing our job the pressure of the big task against celtic will be enough to break them. Interesting time ahead. 🙄🤫 Don't want to jinx the situation, feels good atm though. 🙏.
10 Aug 2020 07:52:45
I hope we can show the consistency but it's early days, can't take away the fact they have gone the distance.
We need to open up as big a gap as possible.
10 Aug 2020 08:17:17
Definetly don’t get carried celtic won’t drop many points if any until they play us October so we need take it one game at time give 100 percent each game if we’ve got a chance stopping 10 in a row.
10 Aug 2020 09:34:39
Dsgersfan struggled! are you serious it’s been a while since I saw such a one sided game look at the stats absolute embarrassment for st Mirren we had 29 shots double figs on target 14 corners Alynwick saved them from a real doing!
3-0 but we struggled
Mate you need to have a look at yourself.
10 Aug 2020 09:39:33
Defo not getting carried away but definitely didn't struggle against st mirren DSGERS. Never once was in bother yesterday.
10 Aug 2020 10:15:43
Struggled. It was one way traffic.
10 Aug 2020 13:16:08
Big Jak Alnwick versus Rangers yesterday, I thought he was superb, the stats don't lie on another day against a weaker keeper we score 7 easily.
10 Aug 2020 15:51:07
Dsgersfan how did we struggle against st mirren?
Seriously were you watching yesterday's game or some archived match.
