Looks amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

What's the opinion on Lawrence Shankland now? I've read mixed reports before. I personally would have bought him from Ayr United but unfortunately his value has increased now. What's your views lads?



12 Jan 2020 20:38:05
I would honestly sign lawrence shankland as he could well end up being another rangers legendary goalscorer. The thing is its a low risk signing and he just could be the next big goalscorer within scottish football. I think we should most definitely take a chance and sign him, because yes he could end up like nicky clark but he also could end up being the next kris boyd, ally mccoist etc! Young shankland could take his game to the next level by working beside and learning of the ultimate goalscoring professional, jermain defoe.



12 Jan 2020 21:59:46
I'd sign him. Think he's far better than Nicky Clark and as said above could well be the next Boyd, McCoist. I've also read that Celtic have sent scouts to watch him a few times recently.



12 Jan 2020 22:39:32
Sgl. he's not young thon he's 25.



13 Jan 2020 00:21:16
Hes the most natural finisher I've saw in scotland since kris boyd. Scores almost every chance.



13 Jan 2020 07:31:18
Sure I read that we are also looking at Kevin Nesbit of Dunfermline, never seen him play though.



13 Jan 2020 09:44:02
No chance. He just doesn't have the capability. He's 24, and is nearer to Nicky Clark on the spectrum than to Kris Boyd. As for McCoist, the boy is light years away from that. We really have to raise our ambitions higher for the future.



13 Jan 2020 10:31:34
It’s a no from me.
He’s been out scored the previous years by Dobbie at QoS, who’s also a bluenose. Should we have signed him as a stop gap 3rd striker then?
Shankland isn’t good enough.



12 Jan 2020 18:14:40
Anyone know why barjo wasn't in dubai?



12 Jan 2020 18:47:56
Away on loan to Patrick mate.



12 Jan 2020 18:51:39
Her, excuse my ignorance but who's barjo?



12 Jan 2020 19:05:13
Fraser not yet he isn’t.



12 Jan 2020 20:11:56
Sorry I thought the two lads had gone to Partick already.



12 Jan 2020 22:39:58
Barjonas.



12 Jan 2020 22:50:00
Jamie barjonas, really rate him, didn't know about the Partick loan, hope he shines.



12 Jan 2020 22:50:10
Jamie barjonas, really rate him, didn't know about the Partick loan, hope he shines.



13 Jan 2020 09:43:29
With players like Kamara it's always a bit of a gamble. Sell him now for, let's say, £10m or wait until after the Euros hoping to get more. But if he has a mediocre tournament, or Finland have a mediocre tournament and he is tainted with that, his value might decrease. Because he plays for a country that might not do well, I'd disregard the Euros and agree with those on here who would take a good fee for him now, as he is one of the valuable players who would be slightly easier to replace. To sell a £50k player for £10m a year later might be an offer we cannot refuse. I think he is a top player, but any bid north of £8m must be taken very seriously.



13 Jan 2020 09:43:29
He and Middleton played and both scored for development team against Motherwell today.



13 Jan 2020 09:45:50
Jamie Barjonas.



13 Jan 2020 13:29:20
The covantenor, ide keep kamara, if he doesn't have a good euro20/ 20 then he will stay at ibrox, win, win, imo.



12 Jan 2020 18:10:23
Need some help/ advice folks.
My wife is giving me a present of the Braga game following my graduation from university (at my age lol) .

I already have flights and accommodation booked and my question is this.
The public sale tickets are not until the 6th of February going by the website. What's my best way of obtaining one?

Many thanks in advance for your input folks.



12 Jan 2020 22:09:22
Congratulations on your graduation well done mate! Fantastic present to get hope all goes well sorry can't help with advice though and you are never to old mate!



13 Jan 2020 09:41:04
Clever Cletus! Well done mate!



13 Jan 2020 09:42:44
Congratulations Cletus, lovely post.



13 Jan 2020 10:13:04
Cheers lads. Much appreciated. I hope I'll be alright for a ticket as it'll be my first time back since moving away 20 years ago.



13 Jan 2020 11:34:33
Cost u will definitely get one day they go on sale, won't be sold out same day mate
If u get stuck there will be people selling tickets out side ibrox subway before kick off.



13 Jan 2020 12:46:38
Nice one John. Many thanks. I forgot about that, it was the way I got my first ever ticket and can still remember big Duncan Ferguson slotting the ball in for Dundee United and a 2-1 reverse for us. Didn't matter because I was hooked.

Fantastic time in Dubai. U r a lucky man Ed, although I’m sure u work hard for it .
Next stop New York international break.



{Ed001's Note - glad you had a good time mate.}

12 Jan 2020 16:15:58
If we want to win league we cannot sell any of 1st team this window. Doesn't give enough time for replacements also barisic kamara with a good euro 20 will see value soar.



12 Jan 2020 16:54:41
Any idea what the offer from Roma is someone said to me in pub it’s 19 mil.



12 Jan 2020 16:59:08
I'm totally with you on this onewaltersmith, but like gerrard said himself yesterday, if a crazy money offer were to come in for morelos,
barisic, kamara etc, rangers may indeed sell! It would need to be an eye popping offer though, i'd imagine mate. Don't want to lose any of our first team players but i honestly think kamara would be the easiest one to be able to do without, as opposed to losing either morelos or barisic, imo. I must state i rate kamara very highly and wouldn't want him sold, but merely, hypothetically stating my honest opinion, if one were to be sold.



12 Jan 2020 17:55:06
S. g. l. I agree in regarding kamara mate, but ide hope the club were wise enough to now if kamara has a good euro 20/ 20 the money we would get would be much more,



12 Jan 2020 18:39:04
Celtic fans like to go on about our losses. If you look at their latest results, without selling their best Players, their losses would be similar to ours. We will need to sell, but hopefully can wait until the summer. Players would go down as legends, hopefully that makes them want to stay. And like others have said, the euros will add to their value.



12 Jan 2020 18:54:46
Gosh, it's been posted in rumours that the offer for Barasic was 11 million.



12 Jan 2020 22:43:40
Correct that is a figure being rumoured. Just think last year people wanted him out of rangers and save the wage bill.



13 Jan 2020 09:36:19
Morelos not leaving this month regardless of any fee bid. Likewise Kamara and Barasic unless bids of £35m received. All available to leave in summer if the right valuation offer received.



12 Jan 2020 14:09:32
Thinking we get rid of Middleton Jones Barker Murphy and Hastie on loan. Already sold Grezda and most wanting rid of Ojo who are we going to play right-wing? And who would play left if Kent gets injured?
Personally I think we will keep Ojo Jones and Barker for second half of season. With all 3 moving on in the summer. Hastie and Middleton I think will go out on loan for rest of season and accessed in the summer. Murphy will be sold if offer comes in and if not will be loaned out for rest of season.
This is only what I think would like to hear what you all think.



12 Jan 2020 14:32:19
Keep Murphy for me, he’s a natural left winger and better than the guys you’ve mentioned.



12 Jan 2020 15:21:05
I'd get rid of Barker and Middleton. Maybe Ojo. Keep JJ and Murphy. Another number 10 and a LB for me.



12 Jan 2020 15:29:46
Id keep murphy on the books however would like to see him loaned out to a top 6 side in our division. If we are loaning out it would be good to see our players face them a couple of times in the second half of the season while not being able to face us.
Same goes for barker for me, i think middleton probably offers more than him and can be a decent impact sub.

That would leave us with Jones, Ojo, Kent and Stewart as natural wide players and would give us options with aribo and arfield.


Hope hastie can come into the fold next season however would rather see him on a more productive loan probably playing up here.


Does doch have a future i'm not sure. I feel he could be useful cover still if we were to pick up a few injuries or if we were to lose kamara in jan.



12 Jan 2020 15:56:32
I think Jones will go, Barker and Murphy hopefully stay for me.



12 Jan 2020 16:07:43
I would also like to see Murphy stay but he is definitely not getting a look in the now and doesn't seem to be in Steve G thoughts as not proved his fitness. This is the reason I think he will be moved on as soon as possible also he is a high earner for a squad player.



12 Jan 2020 16:08:14
Deffo keep Docherty. Big decision time on Jones. He’s capable as he showed against Midtjylland but temperament maybe suspect? Would like to see him with a run of games and see what he can do.



12 Jan 2020 16:06:28
The stuck other way round for me, Barker is such a poor player with no heart and little skill. I watched him very closely in Dubai he offered virtually nothing at all.
Unfortunately injury has finished Murphy at the top level.



12 Jan 2020 16:27:51
John25, I believe Barker was a Gerrard signing while Jones wasn't. Its only my opinion but I feel Jones is a 1 trick pony, yes he can run but that's it, his final ball is poor. His tackle and red card against Celtic and his alleged dive in Dubai wasn't very professional. So for those reasons I think Jones will be moved on.



12 Jan 2020 16:32:06
Think Jones has to stay as he should have had time to realise what it takes to be and stay a Rangers player. There is definitely a player there you just need to look at his international games. Hopefully he can prove his fitness and show his worth surrounded by quality team mates just like at international level.



12 Jan 2020 17:09:19
The stuck both were sighed by Steve G. Yes Allan was DOF but wouldn't be signed if Gerrard didn't want them.
Both signed as was Hastie and Kent by Steve G. All are young and have potential to improve and reach a greater sell on value.



12 Jan 2020 18:51:18
Guys, why not leave all of this to Steven Gerrard, as we are doing great at present, he knows, I'm sure who he wants out, and who he wants in.



12 Jan 2020 19:24:11
Stuck and greig I understand Barker was signed by DoF not gerrard. I don’t know re Jones.
Also the straw that broke the camels back was Allen sold candaeas then told gerrard he was away.
Hence why Allen no longer there,
I’m told there is only one boss at ibrox.



13 Jan 2020 00:23:17
Way it should be john, should get the final say on every footbsll decision 👍.



13 Jan 2020 00:59:01
All the boys not getting games I would be lending to other top 6 teams (other than the sheep) as they would be really motivated against Celtic but couldn’t play against us.

On Ojo,

Candeias ran his baws off for the club, yet Ojo was handed the jersay without any fight and proving to the fans he deserved it, that seemed odd to me. Moving forward he struggled and likewise Aribo as formed dipped. Gerrard it seems was figuring what was Aribo's best position, was it a fluke that its worked out for him on an attacking right position, who knows as we badly needed someone to show up thier as Barker, Stewart, Jones and an injured Arfield weren't getting selected. Kamara Davis Jack is my favoured mid 3 anyhow as thier is real cohesion within that 3. Imo it's been luck combined with Aribo's ability that's seen him selected on the right of a fwd 3

I also think Ojo will be sent back as we don't need him once Jones is fit and Barker has some coaching under him.

For Jan, I'd love us to go and get a big no nonsense 6.4ft fwd to add to our options. Can picture Tav and Borna whipping them in😂💪😜💙.



12 Jan 2020 08:01:12
Candieas ran his baws off that was it. end product was horrific.



12 Jan 2020 08:53:42
What an amazing first half of the season we are having. It’s no coincidence that guys like Candeias were shipped out and the Boss never thought he was good enough!



12 Jan 2020 09:04:01
I'd have candieas over ojo every day of the week👍.



12 Jan 2020 09:46:26
Candieas did run up and down but he lacked consistency and I don't think he was the answer either.



12 Jan 2020 10:02:24
Candeias if he had been up for the fight would have had that position back by now. however he did nt. Ojo is nt better than him, Barker is dreadful. even yesterday for ojo goal he ran straight at a bang average defender and lost possession. jack on the ball to win it back and play in ojo. Aribo is a player but not for that position long term need someone who plays more direct and runs at defenders like Kent. Jones is our best bet as it stands but I have a feeling Gerrard does nt like him after the first old firm and may let him go. I hope not as I would like to see Kent/ Morelos/ Jones vs most sides in SPL.



12 Jan 2020 11:29:44
Forza the more he trains then the luckier they get hard to figure? ! bit of credit to gaffer and staff.



12 Jan 2020 13:37:22
Candeias wasnt shipped out. He chose to leave as he wasnt up for fighting for his place. He would still be a starter if he had chosen to stay.



12 Jan 2020 13:47:28
I’m in agreement with Coldo - shocker - would definitely have Candeias back. Ojo looked good against Tashkent but that’s very limited opposition. There’s a player and goals in there somewhere but I’m not sure what’s missing, if it’s drive or what?



12 Jan 2020 14:12:31
Last season Kent didn't really kick on until after winter break. Only showed glimpses.
Let's give Ojo until end of season as he could have same effect.



12 Jan 2020 14:21:13
For such a hard working player, Candeias did indeed leave due to not wanting to earn his place. What a contradiction and frankly entitled attitude. Don't want that kind of player at Ibrox.



13 Jan 2020 01:06:04
Rfcrb, i think the way the team now train is what was frieghtning candias, he was not willing to put in the training, so was no good to s. g, and the club going forward.



13 Jan 2020 09:22:30
Bit of a Gary Playerism there deep blue sea? Very good 👍.
