Heard from a good source that under armour will be our new kit sponsor for the coming season. Our contract has also run out with 32red so will also have a new sponsor.



13 Jun 2017 01:23:35
Under armour are kit manufacturers they won't be sponsors on a puma strip



12 Jun 2017 21:33:28
whats happening with our new kits? no seen nothing yet.



12 Jun 2017 19:56:19
When can we expect to see the new kit?



12 Jun 2017 21:47:48
no idea mate, been scraping around everywhere lol pissing me off as well as i dying to see them and who our new shirt sponsor will be



12 Jun 2017 19:36:01
Where Is all the money coming from guys? Just seen on sky sports news that ashley is selling Newcastle if this is true a can almost see him buying us . what's everyone else's thoughts on this?



12 Jun 2017 19:57:36
Season tickets and people backing the club with Dave King.



13 Jun 2017 06:02:21
Ashley had been selling Newcastle for about 5 years! Haven't seen anything on it myself but if he now has a buyer I would be surprised!



13 Jun 2017 12:17:57
No ashley is selling some of his shares as he knows no one will pay the 400m to buy him out



12 Jun 2017 19:35:34
hope we go for another goal scorer so if garner and waghorn goes we can loan out dodoo and have another option as the 2 we have coming the Mexican and the young Colombian we need someone in case of injurys or they do not adapt to the Scottish game I know we have miller but would also like someone else I would take a chance on moult or Cummings or Boyce if I had to pick tho if we could get Cummings I would take him if we got him at a decent price and tie him down on a long contract we could get a profit on him



12 Jun 2017 20:36:01
Not a chance that Lennon would let Cummings come to us. Plus even if he did, what's the point in spending that money on a backup. I'm excited about Moroles, exactly the type of player we've been needing for a while now



12 Jun 2017 21:39:59
Probably see wee hardie getting games now too



12 Jun 2017 21:59:04
With harrera and the Colombian and miller that will be plenty as think we will only been playing one up top anyway no need to sign a fourth



13 Jun 2017 03:50:30
Don't think ee need anymore Forwards brought in even after Garner and Dodoo go.
Miller Herrera and Morelos with Hardie hopefully getting a shot.
Its a top Left Winger we need. If we stick with McKay then so be it but imo he struggles on the left.
Dalcio may be the player we need and Candieas can play both Wings as too Dalcio. Whatever happens Atayaki should be given a chance but he's a Right sided player.



12 Jun 2017 19:27:19
Regarding ppsitions once we get Morelos in I think that the only position that needs attention would be the left wing.
Id be happy with a choice of 3 forwards in Miller Herrera and Morelos and Hardie.
Talk of Abella coming and if he does then I think Tav should go I actually think he'll wanta move as hhe'll probably feel that Abella will be first choice.
I wonder who Caixinha will go with at LB imo i'd go with Beerman



12 Jun 2017 22:01:29
I'd say if we get the Players we are close to then I'd say we just need a right back and another winger



13 Jun 2017 06:04:37
Everything I have read about Morelos indicates that he is definitely NOT a winger and is 100% Centre forward. I'd hate to see the young man being played out wide just because he's quick, but I suppose the sign of a good player these days is their versatility!



13 Jun 2017 12:57:44
wallace is club captain, pedro won't drop him for a 18 year old. Beerman will be back up



12 Jun 2017 19:24:05
Going by rumours who else were supposedly linked too our team next year please let this happen🙏
1 Forthingham
2 Layum
3 rebocho
4 Cordoso
5 Alves
6 rossister
7 Candieias
8 Dorrans
9 Herrera
10 Pena
11 Morelos.



12 Jun 2017 20:42:08
Vanbasten who's Layum take it he's a RB plus looking at your team can't see who would play on the Left Wing.
For me if Pedro does bring in a RB then Tav will go to Forest. Plus our spending has reached nearly 9m (I think) so we will need to offoad players. Weve brought in Alves Cardoso Jack Pena Herrera Dalcio and Candieas eith Dorrans and Morelos to come hopefully that's 9 all in and imo we have round about the same number to move out.
Kiernan Halliday Windass Crooks Forrester Waghorn Dodoo and it looks like Garner is off. Players loke Holt and Hodson I can see staying especially Holt regarding Hodson then it depends on an RB arriving. Yeah it'd be good to keep Tav but Hodson is decent cover and Tav is 1m sitting as back up so think he'll be away. i'd like to see Holt go out on loan with Dodoo. Really would like to hear of a friendly being organised soon too at Ibrox.



12 Jun 2017 22:42:47
Layun is a Mexican international he played with Porto in the champions league he's about 26 or 27 years old he's a LB but can play either side I highly doubt rangers will get him it's a bit ambitious really he's valued at 4M



12 Jun 2017 19:20:53
I don't know why but I'm dead excited about the young boy Morelos. I know he's been playing against poor opposition and I've only seen YouTube videos of him (YouTube could make Sebo look amazing) but I just have a feeling!



12 Jun 2017 23:51:31
Yeah Mathew the lad Morelos does look good. What I think is great is the players Pedro is bringing in seem technically suberb. Morelos who can use both feet as to can Dalcio and Candieas meaning the ddays of seeing our wingers cutting in so that they can pass/ cross the ball will be gone.
We MUST give this team time! imo European Qualification could basically buy Pedro the full Season. Absolutely everyone cannot see us getting past 3rd Round. Even I think it is a huge task but the team Ped is building looks good on paper. I do think we will give the tic a serious challenge and look on to see how they will cope with getting knocked out of the Champions League.



12 Jun 2017 18:12:38
So if fat cash sells newcastle is he then going to try and start a war at ibrox to gain more control and bigger share as he won't have any restrictions due to not being involved with 2 clubs?



12 Jun 2017 19:00:06
I seen this on SSN. A Chinese consortium? Interesting to see how this might affect Rangers.

Not up to speed on the financial 'partnership' between Fat Mike and Rangers. If he sells NUFC, would the consortium inherit any financial deals? Or did FM use his own money during that turbulent time.



12 Jun 2017 19:01:45
Makes you wonder where the cash is coming from for this transfer window eh. I don't think he can start a war though but would you turn his £££ away if he was willing to invest or pay decent cash in sponsorship and merchandise?



12 Jun 2017 18:03:25
Slightly concerned about the amount of foreign players coming in. if they don't hit the ground running it may cause a bit of a divide in the dressing room!?!

New image uploaded to the
Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, Exciting times



12 Jun 2017 15:56:41
I must say i am personally itching for the football to start back up again, i remember feeling the same last season but looking back how bloody stupid was i? The players we had were terrible but still i believed we would take the crown off them, this time around its so much different with the class of player coming now and the manager seems very clued up, obviously celtic will strengthen but i really do feel confident this time around, i can't see us dropping as many points this time and i really fancy our chances! What a time to be a bear



12 Jun 2017 15:14:41
Why do people continue to say on here that we hope close the gap on them, rangers are buying players and spending money to challenge them to win this league not to close the gap.



12 Jun 2017 16:27:55
I hear you mate. If anyone has ever played football no matter the level you play to win. We don't play to come second. Yes celtic are miles ahead but they can be got at. i'm not saying we will romp the league or even win it but we should be aiming to win it. Why people say we should aim to cut the gap to 10 points etc is beyond me.



12 Jun 2017 16:46:15
Because of where we have been we are still in a rebuilding/ recovery phase. If we cut the gap to tennor under and finish 2nd then that will have been a good season (leaguewise) if we do better than that then it's a welcome bonus.



12 Jun 2017 18:10:28
Its a building phase yes but doesn't matter where we have been etc mate. We should always aim for the best. As i say i'm not saying we will win the league etc but its what we must aim for.



12 Jun 2017 20:44:40

Nobody is saying that they only want us to finish 2nd, of course we all want to win the league. But at the min it does matter where we've been. We are fighting to get ouselves back on top, on the pitch and financially as well. We were 39 points behind last year. Our new guys will hopfully increase the quality but to expect that we will win the league is frankly naive. Do I want Rangers to win the league? Of course I do. Do I think that number 1 is where Rangers should be? Of course I do. There is nothing wrong with a realistic expectation. but if we do win it I'll be just as overjoyed as you.



12 Jun 2017 14:39:37
Read this everyday but have never posted before. Really glad to now be reading positive things and seeing who we are linked with and signing. I can't remember any club coming out this quick to get players in and signed.
I honestly hated reading all the negative stuff at the end of the season about our new manager and board but hats off to them however the team performs beginning of the season. They have went out and done the business.
I don't know what others think and I'm not one of these deluded fans who think we should be going for the treble next year but I'd say I'd be happy if we were within 10 points of them. It's always been a building process and this is the next step. This season to close the gap and even pressure them, the next season to win.



12 Jun 2017 14:56:42
Good first post and sensible as well.
I'm like you - let Pedro build a team over a couple of seasons and then challenge. Too many looking for the quick fix.



12 Jun 2017 15:01:15
i for one will never understand a comment like that!
i will never be happy with second even if its only by 1 point i don't care .

we are rangers and rangers are winners its as simple as that anything less than the title for me is not good enough never has been never will be



12 Jun 2017 15:31:27
Might even dare I say worth a few bob to maybe win the league. 😉



12 Jun 2017 16:48:29
You need to take a reality check rangersfirst. Of course that is where we want to be but it will take time based on where we have been and our current financial situation.



12 Jun 2017 17:08:00
I agree with you parky. A lot of people need some patience. Nobody is happy with second place unless you've overachieved to finish 2nd but we need to be realistic. I'm happy with the players that have came in bc it's night and day to what we've had the last few years but ultimately they need to click quickly otherwise there will be the usual group of fans who jump down the managers throat



12 Jun 2017 14:37:23
Seen on twitter that windass is a target for Hull, hopefully we can sell these type of players on. Was looking forward to seeing windass as Gers player but tbh he hasn't really lived up to the expectation that came with him.

Hopefully get the two mexicans signed up this week, alongside the columbian boy who's record looks pretty damn good.

Mon the Gers.



12 Jun 2017 14:32:10
I didn't see signings coming in like we have made and who are currently linked ie. Dorrans and Columbian. Gers fans must be excited with season ahead surely? I honestly can't believe it. Great news. let's get behind the new manager now.



12 Jun 2017 13:33:49
Dorrans in and naismith in would be fantastic business for the upcoming season. Get rid of a few stragglers and see where we end up.
Not far behind that other lot would be my guess.



12 Jun 2017 14:28:38
Naismith won't be coming in. Has commited his future to Norwich. My guess is Dorrans will be in this week.



12 Jun 2017 15:27:03
Didn't commit his future. Just gave the stock answer to a standard question. New manager, fresh start and all that nonsense. If we want him we could take him of their hands.
Would be a great addition



12 Jun 2017 15:49:05
naisy does want a move back here but we have already told him we can't meet his wage demands so he is staying put or at least that's whhat I've heard.

dorrans will have to do something in a rangers top before i rate him as highly as others but i am excited to see these players coming to the rangers



12 Jun 2017 12:58:00
So who's next, well if the 2 Mexicans and the Colombian are practically complete it only really must be Dorrans. Even that's quite advanced.

Quite successful wee transfer window considering it's not long open.

Dorrans has to be next as the rest a practically done.

Even if the transfer window slammed shut next week and we had all the guys that are here or coming including Dorrans- I would have to say I would be happy.

Obviously as part of this some would have to go, Keirnan, Waghorn, Halliday etc:



12 Jun 2017 14:28:59
Jamie Walker



12 Jun 2017 16:06:44
id like to c jamie walker a ibrox aswell thinkk the by has tallent and in a good team could turn us a profit in the future



12 Jun 2017 12:21:09
You see the pictures of Jamie Walker going to the Scotland game with Holt, Cardoso and Dalcio An interesting choice of people to go to the game with!



12 Jun 2017 16:01:52
his old team mate and 2 guys that need showing round.

Not that strange really



12 Jun 2017 09:50:09
Alfredo Morelos is today becoming Rangers in Scotland.
Next Monday, will survive if there will be agreement or not.
#HJK #Veikkausliiga

Officials HJk twitter this morning looks a done deal.



12 Jun 2017 13:23:56
What's wth the translation



12 Jun 2017 09:30:17
Can someone tell me. That we have an issue with Puma more than we do with Mike Cashley. If so, then the rumour about a new shirt sponsor being SD makes a lot of sense if we get a fair crack of the football kit money. Any thoughts guys?



12 Jun 2017 11:11:54
Mike Ashley owns shares in Puma. I don't know excactly how much but this is why Newcastle also use Puma as merchandise suppliers. there's rumours going around that SD will indeed be short sponsors. I believe they originated from the NARSA convention in Vegas. I'm sure there will be an anouncement soon. Possibly they want to wait until all the players are in, to parade them in the new merchandise and announce the new deal. It'd be the best opportunity for a big launch.



12 Jun 2017 00:01:03
Really excited about this morelos signing i think the lad could be a big player for us and make us a healthy profit a few yrs down the line.



11 Jun 2017 23:58:31
Alfredo Morelos to under go a medical within a few days and sign if all goes well.
