!!
Newcastle ready to sell Vuckic with Wigan ready to pay a fee.

13 Jul 2015 10:22:49
Do you much are they willing to pay mate?

12 Jul 2015 18:27:34
for all fans who keep going on about McGregor not a right back and others played "out of position" dare I remind everyone that
1 Jimmy Millar was a wing half then centre forward
2 derek Parlane was a wing half then centre forward
3 John Greig was an inside forward, then wing half, then full back
4 Willie henderson played both wings
there are dozens of examples of "playing out of position" throughout the history of football.

Players CAN adapt!! if given the chance to play, THAT is what we are NOT good at!!

12 Jul 2015 19:37:16
Aye and John Mclelland was played at centre forward.

12 Jul 2015 20:27:42
I actually think that mcgregor was really good at right back. Obviously better than what we had.
And when we went for him and Wallace as wing backs for a couple of games, those two were brilliant (well better than the other below average players!)

12 Jul 2015 20:48:19
Vote for best Rangers player playing out of position must go to Graham Roberts, a natural between the sticks.

Wee bill

So in 143 years of existence u can come up with 4 other players who were played out of position? I don't think you can compare McGregor to the players you mention? Also why play a centre half at right back when there are plenty of right backs available? All people want is for players to be played in their natural position. Is that too much to ask? I've seen Messi make some really good tackles but wouldn't play him as a defender

13 Jul 2015 03:55:15
OP

The players you list were all top grade footballers at best Scotland internationals in todays terms European level class players

McGregor was the best of an awful defence in 2nd tier of Scottish football even in his best position he is barely average

12 Jul 2015 17:48:51
How do fellow bears? Just joined and 1st post! Not a rumour just wondering what the new management team think of david Templeton? Anyone know?

12 Jul 2015 19:55:43
Think he will be given a chance like everyone else.suppose we will find out in 11days when we play burnley.

12 Jul 2015 16:38:00
I have faith in Warburton but as everyday passes by without a transfer, such as a striker. I get more worried that we aren't ready for hibs. Don't think Miller and Clark can cut it.

12 Jul 2015 14:55:47
Gk: fotheringham
Def: macgregor, Wilson, Kieran, Wallace
Mid: vuckic, law, eustace, templeton
St:Miller, may

12 Jul 2015 15:37:41
MacGregor isn't a right back. Why do people keep putting him in there? We need a proper right back not a centre half in there

12 Jul 2015 15:38:09
what about Murdoch, Walsh,Clark, Hardie and Gallacher then? and we don't have Vuckic or May andare unlikely to get either and Eustace is not yet a done deal

12 Jul 2015 16:41:51
As far as I am aware MW prefer's to use a 433 system, I think 442 in this day of age of football is far to flat, But that is just my opinion folks

13 Jul 2015 08:17:52
If nicky law plays as part of a 2 man centremidfield pairing my season ticket will be sent back. He is absolutely rank at defending and attacking. Useless.

12 Jul 2015 12:12:12
Anyone heard how seaon ticket sales going?

12 Jul 2015 13:49:39
Pass but I have been trying to purchase a season ticket all week and every time I try to phone they are too busy.

12 Jul 2015 14:22:16
It's down to luck mate I got through on my 3rd attempt was still in a q for 40 mins but got there in the end!

12 Jul 2015 15:28:08
buy them on-line = easy

12 Jul 2015 15:43:56
30,000 last I heard

Tried that 3 times ALDO1 keeps coming up saying your password is incorrect then I fill the form in again then it says (Your customer details already exist on the system).

12 Jul 2015 10:54:36
Rangers were shocking at defending last years, so the new signing so far I am happy with. I think rangers have enough quality players already at the club if given a chance, remember we are playing in the Scottish championship next season. Walsh, McKay, Murdoch, Hardie are all good young players gaining experience and are also enough to play at this level.

12 Jul 2015 11:19:39
Be patient and let's see the system we use. Be nice to see artacking football and not playing one up front at Ibrox

12 Jul 2015 08:17:59
I can't wait for the season to start, it feels like ages ago since we got humped by Motherwell and mohsni turned ufc.
Everything that Warburton and weir have done so far has been positive in my view. Not jumping into signings. Although I would love for them to make a move to get Allan in.
It will take time for the team to get settled into actually playing football, as they have been used to long ball stuff for years.
There is a 50/50 chance of getting beat by hibs in the first game as the team will take time.
P. S. We must get a new striker in St some point, a bit concerned that we haven't really heard any rumours of strikers linked!

12 Jul 2015 09:35:33
There's been rumour of 4 or 5 different strikers to us.

12 Jul 2015 10:06:12
I just don't think we should be fearing Hibs this season, I agree its a 50/50, really depends on who turns up, I can't see there being much between the 2 teams this season, however, I hope there is, with us being on top ;-) Allen would be a massive coup if we pulled it off! big addition for us, big loss for hibs. A striker is a major priority for us! I just don't think we have the fire power at the moment to win the championship.

any Suggestions with regrds to strikers folks?

12 Jul 2015 10:19:42
onlyshowaround Aye? Who pal?

12 Jul 2015 10:36:42
WE have Clark who we already know can score 30+ goals a season in this league with the correct management, Miller, Hardie, Gallagher who are all strikers. Temps and Shiels can also play as a striker. What we need is someone in the middle of the park to control the game. Law doesn't do that for me, Murdoch is too inexperienced and frankly, I can't think of anyone else! Ramsay looked brilliant for the U20's

12 Jul 2015 10:42:06
From what i've heard, Lafferty, Stevie May, A plymouth player, and an ex west ham currently Bolton player, wish I could remember the names. I'm sure there are 2 more players aswell with that list.

12 Jul 2015 11:10:10
There been rumours of Stevie May and Rubén Reid of Plymouth that's 2 that I heard they where interested in and maybe a Dutch boy am sure a read somewhere!i believe they management team r aware of our need for a striker am sure they will address it!

12 Jul 2015 14:06:12
Marcus Pink Stevie May Rubén Reid are the 3 I have heard rumours about

12 Jul 2015 00:52:33
Why would we want players like lafferty
He wasn't good enough the first time so why would we want him now
We need young mobile players who want to fight for a win and show some pride not would be superstars
All the players we have signed so far will hopefully do a job for us
As for dave king he will come good
It's not just about signing players
Yes that's important as is winning the league
But so is rebuilding the structure of the club
And getting us back to where we should be won't happen overnight
Have faith and we will succeed
