Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


14 Aug 2020 23:10:50
On their best form who is out best 3 players so far lads? . For me
1. Barasic
2. Kent
3. Aribo
Only slight on Aribo is he hasn't got the metal that Kent has. Which is maybe a good thing.



15 Aug 2020 00:36:29
Chunky, for me aribo better than Kent. Slate me all you want guys. Kent has one or two moves. Aribo has the mentality. Look at his goals there been from nothing. Airbo going to be one of our best players this season. If he's o e of our best then easy £7-15m Kent needs to repay that £7m tag on his back. And scoring against celtic ain't it. He needs to be constant. And for me so far in pre season Airbo our stand out player.



15 Aug 2020 01:39:22
Same 3 for me with balogun and goldsonand camara running them close aribo sometimes holds the ball to much he needs to learn when to release it. Camera has cruised through games allowing players like Kent and aribo to go express themselves. Balogun has been solid and makes godson play better as well. Seen that on Friday first half goldson was solid, second half some errors started creeping back in.



15 Aug 2020 08:13:36
I would agree with what you all say, but, Ryan Jack is Mr consistency for me, and must come into that category, Kamara as you all say has also been very good so far, despite the criticism he gets occasionally.



15 Aug 2020 08:31:51
Agree with you some good comments about Balogun Kamara. Aribo has a great control of the ball under pressure.



15 Aug 2020 09:27:35
Morelos, Barasic and Ryan Jack are our 3 most important Players, When Jack doesn’t play we’re no where near as good!



15 Aug 2020 10:38:12
Ryan Kent is the most talented player at rangers IMHO. Barisic is also a tremendous left back and joe aribo is extremely talented also, but goals wins games and morelos has a great strike rate at rangers guys!



15 Aug 2020 12:51:30
Barasic
Aribo
Kent

In that order so far.



15 Aug 2020 23:08:35
Think on form you would also need to include Kamara, Jack and Goldson.

Glad to see Kent with some end product this year, just wish the lad would learn to pass the ball. If he does then he will be world class.



14 Aug 2020 22:58:08
RIP Tom Forsyth, a terrific player and person, condolences to his family and friends.



14 Aug 2020 22:48:39
RIP Tom Forsyth. Absolute rangers legend. My granda used to tell me what a great defender the guy was. Fly high 🇬🇧.



15 Aug 2020 07:04:12
I still remember the screamer big tan scored from 1 yard out.



14 Aug 2020 22:48:16
Go with God jaws.



15 Aug 2020 00:47:03
A nickname he hated, but a sentiment that goes for us all.



14 Aug 2020 22:40:46
Apparently pique is available for a 6 pack of walkers crisps after tonight!



14 Aug 2020 23:05:53
Guy was poor tonight but not sure I would be making jokes about him as a player. Check out his list of honours Guy would walk into our team.



15 Aug 2020 09:28:37
Think that might have been a joke 🤣.



14 Aug 2020 22:33:11
RIP Tam Forsyth ❤️💙🤍.



14 Aug 2020 22:54:05
They don't make them like big tam 'jaws' forsyth anymore! RIP tam forsyth a rangers great, who was never the same since he lost his beloved wife! 🙏God bless you sir and sleep easy with the angels 🙏My heartfelt 💔 condolences to all tam's family and friends, he was a true ranger and hard as nails!



14 Aug 2020 23:19:51
Met him at Strathaven Golf club few years back and an absolute gentleman and Legend🇬🇧.



15 Aug 2020 10:35:02
Met him for the first time at Broxburn Rangers Club in the seventies. He was a gentleman RIP Tam 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



14 Aug 2020 22:32:48
Just heard very sad news of the passing of Tom (Jaws) Forsyth. Wonderful player for us and the hardest true gentleman I had the pleasure to me. RIP Tom.



14 Aug 2020 22:53:54
Big man was a hero of mine RIP.



14 Aug 2020 23:17:26
Will never forget his goal in 1973 cup final was at the game. Loved the guy great player and more importantly a great man.



14 Aug 2020 22:21:17
RIP Tom, you knew what it was to be a True Ranger. Best wishes to his family and friends.



14 Aug 2020 22:33:48
Rip Big Tam, a proper Rangers man.



14 Aug 2020 21:44:17
We should have the chewin the fats response when asked the price of any of our players, 'errr £20m mate'.



14 Aug 2020 21:38:09
I see Lyle Taylor is having a medical at Forrest
I don't believe we were ever interested in him and thought we would go for better.
but got to say It's a very strange one that he refused to play for charlton because of a life changing move yet ends up at a side in the same league as he was already playing in 💁‍♂️.



14 Aug 2020 22:13:33
Haha very true 🤔🤔.



15 Aug 2020 07:34:04
Taylor and dykes were definitely signing. I read it here.



15 Aug 2020 08:17:46
Now, now John, behave yourself, lol.



14 Aug 2020 21:06:07
So bears, with balogun being Injured for Sunday who would you like to start alongside Goldson? Got to be the fridge for me, think he'll handle big dykes and his bully boy antics, and for the rest I reckon roofe will start over hagi as hagi hasn't been at his best lately, I'd like Gerrard to bench him as a wee warning.



14 Aug 2020 21:20:09
Big fill will play beside goldson. Roofe will be on the bench.



14 Aug 2020 21:30:30
SG likes a left and Right footer at CB a don’t like helander in the pleky tho 🤣.



14 Aug 2020 21:31:07
Dazrfc86,roofe is nowhere near ready to start mate! So hagi starts for me.
As regarding which centre half starts beside goldson, either/ or helander or edmundson will do for me, although i think gerrard will go for goldson and helander!



14 Aug 2020 21:38:35
Nice to see Glen Kamara getting the praise he is due with some of the posts on here. The man is a great footballer and will make our club a shedload of money everybody has there own opinion but I don’t understand how this guy can be so underrated by our support.



14 Aug 2020 22:16:25
We have won all 3 games and not lost a goal yet. The team will change very little imo.
Helander will start I think due to comfort on left.



14 Aug 2020 22:22:56
Roofe will be on the bench and I am 99.999999% sure helander will start.



14 Aug 2020 22:31:26
I like Balogun but, its annoying me that Edmundson played really well in pre season and was just dropped straight away.
What does that mean for some of our young players like Leon King? No chance of a first team jersey so why not move elsewhere? I thought Stevie G was a pro youth Type manager?



14 Aug 2020 22:33:42
Helander and Hagi start Sunday.



15 Aug 2020 00:51:53
Yogibear (Hughes? ) King is 16! Do you not believe it benefits us to play our best players? Edmundson is nowhere near Balongun or Helander! What a screamingly stupid post.



15 Aug 2020 07:35:32
Yogi king just turned 16. U want to play him lol I.



15 Aug 2020 08:19:53
Yogiebear, I agree regards to Edmundson, he didn't do anything wrong, but he will get games this season.



15 Aug 2020 09:30:57
When Goldson is injured Edmunson will play in the right of the 2.



14 Aug 2020 20:25:11
Any1 think as part of mcCrory deal rangers try for Boyle. He's fast and direct and other than Kent we don't have Any1 like that.



14 Aug 2020 20:30:22
Good shout he coukd do a job on our right side.



14 Aug 2020 20:46:05
Not for me, Boyle is good if teams open up he gets in behind with pace but against bus parkers he like jones will struggle.



14 Aug 2020 21:01:48
Suggested Boyle a couple of weeks ago, maybe give tav a bit of extra protection in certain games, but was shot down by the he plays in Scotland so must be rubbish posters, and no doubt will be again.



14 Aug 2020 22:25:35
Could do with an option wide right and direct similar to Candeias.



15 Aug 2020 00:54:19
OMG, I cannot believe that we have 'fans' who think Boyle would get anywhere near our team! Are you all blind? He's got no more than O'Halloran had, is no better than Hastie or Jones and will never be good enough to play for Rangers. Get a grip!



15 Aug 2020 07:49:36
Correct re Boyle. Covenanter.



15 Aug 2020 08:44:43
Covenanter and john 25 yous guys talk since Boyle isn't good enough, would end up loaning him out or trying to get him off wage bill.



See You Next Thursday Season Review Part 2

14 Aug 2020 14:30:19
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new podcast entitled, See You Next Thursday Season Review Part 2



14 Aug 2020 13:18:25
Just a quick one on Ryan Kent. Don't know if everybody will agree with me (I know Coops and Coldo will) that the early form shown by Ryan Kent has been a major plus for us so far. I think he will be a big player for us this season barring injury. The goal on Wednesday was a beauty and almost a carbon copy of the one last season against the Celtic. Made all the better after taking a whack in the trossachs seconds before! 😣.



14 Aug 2020 14:20:25
That was the first time that i had heard of down below being called the trossachs and found it hillarious when clive said it at the time.
I remember when big Albertz stood up to take free kicks the players in the wall wished they were wearing trossach protectors.



14 Aug 2020 14:23:49
Nice to see an end product. Hope he can keep it up could be a massive player 🤞.



14 Aug 2020 14:24:15
Kent is showing just now what he showed hen he first came in loan

Long may it continue - he’s been playing brilliant so far

Not sure what’s changed

But definitely back toothe quality we seen when he first came on loan.



14 Aug 2020 14:36:24
Was also desperate for us to sign kent, although he wasn't great last season he has improved but still not quite at the same level as when we had him on loan but sure he will get there.



14 Aug 2020 14:43:57
Bang on about massively important this year than he adds goals to his all round game. And he seems to be doing that along with aribo. Hoping the 2 new lads can get off the mark soon, settles the nerves a bit for them.



14 Aug 2020 14:49:56
Perhaps the fact there's no supporters to get on his back after ten minutes is the reason he's discovered some of his loan season form? Think the lack of fans is helping the players in all honesty and hopefully there still won't be any fans when we go to Celtic Park.



14 Aug 2020 14:53:14
I have always said Iits difficult for a player to come in just as window closes or January they need a full pre season.
Hagi also similar re missed five months of season, needs to bulk up a wee bit. His vision is better than anyone else we have
We r now seeing best re Kent and barisic now.



14 Aug 2020 15:06:01
You knew i would agree with you on your post seeker! Too many of our supporters on here, think players are robots and that even our most talented players daren't go off the boil with a mediocre run of form,
enter mr ryan kent. You're quite correct to point out seeker, that i'm indeed a big fan of ryan kent because i've known all along he's an extremely talented kid 👌An old football saying ie. form is temporary class is permanent, simple as that!
There's many reasons as to why even our most talented players can have a mediocre season, but it doesn't mean we castigate them by saying things like £7million a waste of money, one trick pony etc, because that's what a good few said on here and some actually took delight in roasting coldo regarding kent about a waste of money, his goalden boy hasn't got it and so on! For the doubters don't you guys fret because ryan kent has got it alright and will be a massive part of us winning the league or not! He's the most talented player at rangers imho. I want all our players to be at it all the time every second, every minute, but football is never about black or white, with many contributing factors in between,
regarding even a talented players form. Kent will be the rangers player of the year this coming season,
which is my opinion of course, he'll hit between around 10-15 goals for me, with around the same in assists!
Kenty on his game is unplayable and can destroy and disorientate opposing players. We bought him for £7million and we will eventually sell him probably back to an english club for easily between £15-£20million👍Then it will be proven that our original £7million outlay on kent, was indeed money very well spent 👌I've never doubted ryan kent one little bit!



14 Aug 2020 15:35:48
Something that few people comment on is that Kent - and to a certain extent Aribo - draw the opposition players to them, leaving room for others to do damage. The unobserved parts of their game is what make them an important part of the team. If Kent draws two or three players out then even without the ball he is doing his job, which I think most fans who are keen on the game already know, while others merely think he's doing nothing. This season our defensive five or six look solid, so the creative players and scorers will have even more freedom to be adventurous, and like SGL says, at this early stage Kent is the man. However, as I've said before, sooner or later Joe Aribo will be a real Rangers star.



14 Aug 2020 15:46:39
SGL. You nailed it on the head last paragraph, Kenty on his game is unplayable, That was his problem last season, To many games he was missing along with some others. This season he has started well. Long may it continue, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



14 Aug 2020 16:06:06
I agree with covenanter. For me Aribo actually has more potential. Kent is better now but Aribo has something special about him. I went be surprised to see him EPL bound in a few years to a top 6 side.



14 Aug 2020 17:41:59
I think both ryan kent and joe aribo are extremely talented players but what gives kent the edge for me is he's two footed and much faster than aribo, no sleight on aribo whatsoever intended here fellow bears! Aribo has amazing close control and kent just rips opposition players apart with dribbling with BOTH feet and devestating pace! I honestly predict that the rangers player of the season this season will be between kent, aribo and barisic, with kent prevailing just for me 👍.



14 Aug 2020 17:57:03
100% Seeker 👍
Kent will be a huge player this season. We all know he had the ability but this season so far ( I know it’s only been a few games including pre-season) he’s added consistency and goals.
And I agree with John25 - he’s benefited from a full pre-season this year instead of joining up late.
And SGL is incorrect - if he keeps this form up, he will make us a fortune in the future 👍.



14 Aug 2020 19:13:59
He has started very well, I hope he gets consistent as that’s what we need.



14 Aug 2020 19:40:29
Sorry SGL - that should have said you are correct mate👍.



14 Aug 2020 19:41:56
Think both Kent and Aribo need to produce consistently and in a lot of games for them to be considered great players. Not doubting either’s ability but let’s not get carried away just yet we are only 3 games into the season and nothing has been achieved yet.



14 Aug 2020 22:39:43
Kent, Aribo and Hagi each in their own way will play a big part this year. Don’t forget we also have Morelos (at least for now) and the 2 new boys Itten and Roofe. I think this puts us in a very strong attacking position and kudos to those in charge of recruitment. Time will tell but regardless the progression is clear for me.



14 Aug 2020 12:53:29
Anyone think we have a deal chance of getting this Skov Olson?



14 Aug 2020 14:54:33
Stigno I do. Same man that told me we would sign Kent if we got to group stages says same re Olsen.
We r clearing wages to make two signings.



14 Aug 2020 15:02:49
Hopefully the Legend Laudrup is having a wee word with him.
Just imagine Laudrup mark 2 in this team.



14 Aug 2020 15:03:06
That will be exciting if we do

He looks a player

Any word on who else we might get in?



14 Aug 2020 15:06:38
God i hope so! 🙏🙏.



14 Aug 2020 15:16:57
If he is half the player of Laudrups quality then its an easy yes.



14 Aug 2020 17:43:44
Another player Rangers have no interest in.



14 Aug 2020 17:58:19
Another thread that BlueWouldDo doesn’t know what he is talking about 🤣🤪🤣.



14 Aug 2020 19:22:22
Just watched bits of Olsen. This boy can finish.



14 Aug 2020 19:39:00
I do hope you're correct John25 and we do sign skov olsen, either on a season long loan deal with the option to buy, or buy permanently right away, which of course may be too much money for us! Like you say John25,two signings and we all should be delighted with our transfer business 👍Zungu, the powerful, physical box to box midfielder and right winger skov olsen would most definitely do for me 👌I truly think this is our year and we'll win the league 👍🙏.



14 Aug 2020 20:15:20
Just plucking names from thin air.



15 Aug 2020 08:20:06

14 Aug 2020 11:14:16
Spfl are now talking about punishments if any players break C.V. rules and rightly so but only going to punish the sheep and celtic retrospectively. So if no one else breaks the rules then they get off scot free. Why not just punish guilty parties who have already done wrong?



14 Aug 2020 14:10:17
Nothing like closing the stable doors once the horse has already bolted.
Explains everything about the amateur run SPFL. 👍.



14 Aug 2020 16:33:23
Sorry Gowtrueblue, I've looked at your post 3 times, and, the SPFL are going to punish Bolingoli and the 8 Aberdeen players for bringing the game into disrepute, your post shows disappointment that other get off scot free, that's what I can't fathom, who e. g. do you think is getting off scot free.



14 Aug 2020 17:02:58
Sorry irvger was under the impression it was retrospective for the sheep and celtic but stand corrected just hope the punishment fits the crime.
55 on its way W. A. T. P.



14 Aug 2020 17:11:55
Could be a conspiracy yately🤭😁👍.



14 Aug 2020 23:07:11
No need for apologies on this forum Gowtrueblue, we all hope the punishment fits the crime, never forget what they did to us in 2012.



14 Aug 2020 09:29:55
When is the amateur hour at the SFA/ SPFL going to end. 2 Clubs break the rules and threaten the game but i wonder who we should punish. Everyclub in the country bar the two clubs and select few others (SPL) .



14 Aug 2020 09:57:54
Madness, said it yesterday to a mate. Two premier league clubs players break the rules, therefore punish everyone else except the league it happened in.



14 Aug 2020 11:12:31
One team will have had the chance to improve their squad and then play the rearranged fixtures with the chance of picking up 3 points in each game. Is that fair?



14 Aug 2020 12:09:43
Didn't even think about new players, very fair point.



14 Aug 2020 12:19:45
Fair point but Points in the Bank are better than games in hand. Let, s put down a marker.



14 Aug 2020 12:22:32
Very good point
Another farce.



14 Aug 2020 12:37:21
It’s getting to stage where SPFL and SFA. Statements should be preceded within the circus music they play when clowns come on! 🤡🤡.



14 Aug 2020 13:29:36
The other thing to consider is that these games that have been postponed were supposed to be behind closed doors. What happens if they are rescheduled for later in the season and fans are allowed in? More revenue for them that other clubs didn't get the chance to earn plus an unfair advantage with their fans there.



14 Aug 2020 14:55:44
Moc snell etc etc it’s about Rangers not them.



14 Aug 2020 15:04:30
Correct John it is about us. You just hope for a level playing field. i'm just pointing out that by them breaking rules they actually could end up with an advantage both financially and with the support potentially being there.



14 Aug 2020 16:30:09
Moc folk seem to ignore we to broke C.V. rules when we played Dundee United.



14 Aug 2020 16:35:30
The re-arranged games should be behind close doors, as otherwise the guilt Clubs would be making money denied to the other member Clubs in the SPL.



14 Aug 2020 09:01:12
Right lads heres one for you to get your thinking caps on. What one player with the benefit of hindsight would you have liked to stay at Rangers longer than they did? I was asked this last night and the player I always hated watching on MOTD because I thought he still should have been with us was Tugay. I know he was 31 when we sold him but he went on to boss midfield in the EPL for about 6 seasons after leaving us. What a player he was. Undervalued at Rangers at the time and I'd have loved to have seen him here for longer.



14 Aug 2020 09:57:07
Jan Bartram, arteta, tugay, arveladze, Walters,



14 Aug 2020 09:58:31
Gascoigne, van bronckhorst, and gattuso would've liked to have seen a lot longer.

The days are gone now of players staying at 1 club for longevity, its all about moving to epl.

Think every bear right now would just love 1 of our own to come through the system, be a class talent and actually want to stay at rangers for the long term.



14 Aug 2020 10:17:59
Durrant in his prime for me all day long.



14 Aug 2020 11:25:51
Gabby amato at times didn't look like he knew what he was doing with his skills defenders had no chance.



14 Aug 2020 12:23:40
You will rarely see players staying for 10 + years. EG John Greig. Howe. ver, the grass is not always greener. Some Players have left Rangers and done well but others have sunk without trace.



14 Aug 2020 12:36:22
Boomsong, Gio, Arteta, Negri (pre squash ball in the eye one)



14 Aug 2020 12:40:02
Amato, Tugay, V Bronckhorst, Gazza, Laudrup, Albertz, Prso.



14 Aug 2020 12:52:55
Jan Bartram dug his own grave and wanted out of Rangers.



14 Aug 2020 13:04:45
Davie Cooper
Souness made a big mistake letting him go
What a plyer he was
I was only young at the time but loved getting lifted over the turnstiles by my dad filled with excitement that i was going to watch him play.
pure magic SUPER COOPER.



14 Aug 2020 14:00:55
Paul Gascoigne all day long! If he had stayed the full season rangers would undoubtedly have won 10 in a row 👍.



14 Aug 2020 14:54:49
If you remember Coop, it was time for Gazza to move on that season not only with personal reasons but he was constantly injured. He wasn’t the same player which was proved when he moved and we got the best out of him the in the previous 2 seasons. It was such a shame when he left as like you say a fit Gazza would gave won that league that season ✌️.



14 Aug 2020 18:35:15
Basil Boli 🤣.



14 Aug 2020 19:42:20
It was dick advocaat who instructed david murray that gazza would have no place in his team yately01 and told murray to sell him to middlesborough and get the £4million plus for him, towards his rebuild of rangers at the start of 1998/ 1999 season!



14 Aug 2020 07:42:34
Would not sell any player to Hibs, we should do to them what they done to us with Allen.



14 Aug 2020 09:26:17
A little bit bitter, think if hibs offer us the correct money for our out of favour players we'd be stupid not to take it and reinvest in the squad. The main part of this is tho if its the correct money. So far wilson has done a fine job of producing fee's for our deadwood as u might say.



14 Aug 2020 12:37:09
Was it Allen who did it us rather than Hibs, he didn't want to wait the 6 months to sign with us.



14 Aug 2020 16:40:00
No, Hibs wouldn't sell him to us, it was Stubbs who dug his heels in, if I'm correct, I wonder why, he's still talking total s e in the papers this week.



13 Aug 2020 23:41:55
I recently bought the new home kit for my son, infant size aged 3 to 4 years, I noticed the badge and castore emblem are not embroidered, anyone any idea if this is standard for these kits as I assumed all were embroidered? Cheers.



14 Aug 2020 04:11:53
Where you get this? I haven't seen any online and desperately looking for ages 4 5 and 6. hopefully stocked or re stocked soon.



14 Aug 2020 06:00:48
Through the Castore Rangers site, think I was lucky, checked and they were sold out, tried again later and back in stock. Ordered around 4 days ago but stock goes fast!



14 Aug 2020 09:11:13
Do you think we will sell morelos or Barisic if right offer comes in saying we need to balance the books.



14 Aug 2020 09:34:16
They came back on briefly a few days ago, the stuff available changes everyday, products are put up when available and removed when not from the site.



13 Aug 2020 22:56:22
Well my favourite was Jock Shaw — now there was a hard man.



14 Aug 2020 02:26:13
Kerrymac2 I met the Tiger on a couple of occasions, was in his house in Glenboig. A quiet unassuming man who was my dad's favourite Ranger.



14 Aug 2020 11:18:02
Covenanter— what lovely memories.
