Our kit coming out I know but any comments on Linfield kit out Friday? Major statement.

14 Jun 2020 22:19:21
Linfield kit already out as I've seen guys wearing in in my street ours. will have to. be so. thing special this season and somthing extras special next season seeing as ots out 150th anniversary were the most successful team and one of the wirld oddest clubs into the bargain and there's not anyone can take that away from us .

14 Jun 2020 22:25:06
Linfield strip immense let’s just say your in no doubt where their allegiances lie 😂👏👏.

15 Jun 2020 07:06:05
Linfield kit is class. Will be major uproar about tho.

15 Jun 2020 10:36:49
Glad its no rangers new kit its horrible to be honest.

15 Jun 2020 12:03:18
Mind you cliftonville been wearing IRA colours for years. Must even be couple linfield players not impressed with colour choice.

15 Jun 2020 12:32:16
Forgetting any politics, purple and orange together? Really?

15 Jun 2020 12:45:24
Didn't know Gok Wan posted on rangers rumours 🤣🤣.

15 Jun 2020 14:43:03
It's Wan Helluva bad combination.

But hoping the NI league can be finished off and Linfield can be crowned champions. It would certainly show our league up for what it is.

15 Jun 2020 15:51:15
Geronimo didn’t heard the siren from the fashion police 😂😂😂👍.

15 Jun 2020 18:46:57
I think this is a great idea to at very least try. Remember I can’t remember a worse right back than Ricksen but when put into midfield he was immense and got player of the year!

It could work and if it doesn’t then we have two right backs pushing each other on to improve.

15 Jun 2020 21:47:50
Seen it upset a few of the snowflakes.

14 Jun 2020 20:54:53
I was 2 hours into a big jigsaw of a tiger today then I found out it was a box of frosties.

14 Jun 2020 21:10:20
Laudrup- was it just Lion around?

14 Jun 2020 21:43:08
Aye it was lion next to a guy driving a jaguar.

14 Jun 2020 22:17:17
Look on the bright side Laudrup could have been a whole lot worse, you could have been 2 hours in only to discover it was a picture of Neil Lennon 😂.

14 Jun 2020 22:30:07
Was he wearing linx?

14 Jun 2020 22:55:42
Naw he was wearing a puma tracksuit.

14 Jun 2020 23:31:41
What a pussy!

15 Jun 2020 06:43:36
Greeeeaaaatt story.

15 Jun 2020 08:11:21
Ha, ha, very catty guys, but, it has potential to be a Serial.

15 Jun 2020 11:50:33
Celtic fan here so I’ll probably get a FROSTY reception CHEERIO.

New image uploaded to the
Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, Training gear

14 Jun 2020 20:39:21
That grey top is awful!

14 Jun 2020 20:51:59
😁 I quite liked that one cofibrox!

14 Jun 2020 20:52:17
When can we purchase them? SGL - Your usually clued up on this type of thing mate.

14 Jun 2020 20:57:30
Grumpy, I am not feeling it mate!

14 Jun 2020 21:25:54
I honestly don't know The Stuck. I think castore will release details of launch of the new rangers kits and training gear in early to mid july mate!

15 Jun 2020 04:14:24
Ugly attire dominated by the sponsor's name and those horrendous big dots.

15 Jun 2020 06:44:12
I must admit first impressions of training kit, it looks poor, might look better on, folded up maybe does not give clear indication, but not overly impressed so far, looks like print would come off aswell.

14 Jun 2020 18:24:53
Just enjoying Hawaii 😁 cigar on hand as I type and red wine . Be back when Corona ends.

14 Jun 2020 19:56:43
Just enjoying Kilmarnock, packet of monster munch on hand. Be back when Budweisers end !

14 Jun 2020 20:29:02
Stuck 😂😂😂.

14 Jun 2020 15:50:37
I know he's not the kind of striker we need to stop 10IAR but how good would Florian Niederlechner look in our royal blue strip watching him the now Mainz vs Augsburg he's not the kind of striker we need but just looking at him he would look amazing in our royal blue

What are your thoughts bears and bearettes

🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧.

14 Jun 2020 16:19:10
Onlytrue- Seriously- you've just said - he's not the type of striker we need but he'd look good in our Royal blue. Well I've got news for you. I am also not the type of striker Rangers need but I do look good in a Rangers shirt. What's that all about mate?

14 Jun 2020 16:27:33
Googled him mate and he isn't my type, each to their own!

14 Jun 2020 16:39:27
Stuck you’d look good in a bin bag ya sexy beast!

14 Jun 2020 16:47:37
David Dodds looked good in a gers top as did mols mrs lol

Oh dear lockdown is driving people nuts lol.

14 Jun 2020 16:49:51
Hahaha wtf, lay off the glue.

14 Jun 2020 18:00:03
C of Ibrox, quality my man, much appreciated sir.

14 Jun 2020 18:09:53
The Stuck can you post a photo of you wearing the royal blue for all of us to see so we can judge for ourselves how good you look 🤔.

14 Jun 2020 18:15:19
😂😂😂😂👍🏻.

14 Jun 2020 18:26:57
The muppet, if I did that I'd have all the girls wanting a piece of me. Your actually more likely to see me on Crimewatch. LOL.

14 Jun 2020 19:16:43
The Stuck I see your very modest as well as drop dead gorgeous I’m sure the girls would not be able to resist such a man 🤥.

14 Jun 2020 19:22:54
The Muppet, we all need a laugh during this crappy time. I'm glad we've all got a sense of humour on here.

14 Jun 2020 14:18:47
Slim Jim Baxter was born in 1939 in a wee village called Hill of Beath near Cowdenbeath.

Such was Baxter's standing within football that he was selected for the Rest of the World Squad against England in the FA Centenary match of 1963.

He is arguably the best player ever to don the Blue Jersey for Rangers nad Scotland.

Very close behind him, if not abreast, is Davie Cooper, the genius.

Andy Goram should also be in the mix, as the best ever reactionery, or is that reactionary, goalkeeper,

and, McCoist as the top scorer, bar none.

Ah the memories xx.

14 Jun 2020 15:13:50
At a point in gorams career he could have played for any team in the world.

14 Jun 2020 15:31:38
For me, Baxter is a million miles ahead of any other Scottish player that played in Scotland during my lifetime as a Rangers fan. He is closely followed by guys like Laudrup, Gazza, Souness, Wilkins and Cooper. We have had some fine goalkeepers, Goram is clearly one but Klos and Chris Woods were exceptional keepers and Billy Ritchie, for old guys like me, was one of the best. Caldow, Jardine, Robertson and Greig were all good defenders and there can't be any better centre half than Butcher, Gough and Amoruso. As far as strikers, I would personally favour Colin Stein and Derek Johnstone over McCoist and also Jim Forest. He would have set a world record never to be beaten had he had Hately alongside him! Negri is another that could have been an all time great. I guess we should just consider ourselves fortunate to have had so many great players at Ibrox and let's hope that there are many more still to come, starting this coming Season!

14 Jun 2020 15:37:38
I was too young to ever see the great man Slim Jim myself but according to my dad he was easily the most skilful Ranger he's ever seen and definitely ahead of Davie Cooper. How I'd like a time machine!

14 Jun 2020 17:03:37
Berkshireblue👍👍 I've got to say negri's 5 goals against dundee utd is still the best individual performance from a striker that I've seen in the flesh. A hatrick in the last 15 mins of the first half I was up the back of broomloan that day, I can still see him dink it over the defenders head twice then lob dykstra from 30 yards.

14 Jun 2020 17:57:16
Think that was Steven Presley he did it too if I recall right, which makes it extra sweet 🤣.

14 Jun 2020 17:59:16
Bobmcbob, i actually missed that game mate as i was on holiday in florida.
My late dad and my pals, not to mention the guy i let use my season ticket for that game against dundee utd were raving about marco negri and little wonder. I soon saw negri for myself and he was a pure class striker! 👌.

14 Jun 2020 19:24:58
SGL - What age are you my friend? If you don't mind me asking.

14 Jun 2020 20:31:30
I'm 53 pal, how about you mate?

14 Jun 2020 21:33:08
SGL, I'm a young 51 mate.

14 Jun 2020 11:53:01
It looks like Rangers are set to sign two young in demand strikers. SG and his team doing what they said they would do - building for the future, whilst battling and manipulating for today.
Some posters are not happy with him or his signings, but imho he is doing what is right for our club. He was probably a bit naive about how bad the SPFL would be towards us and the outrageous treatment referees in Scotland would dish out to us.

14 Jun 2020 12:16:29
Absolutely try blue.

14 Jun 2020 13:28:35
Correct true blue.

14 Jun 2020 17:16:58
So its refs and the spfl that are to blame for us being trophyless the last two year🤔👍.

14 Jun 2020 17:25:44
What are the names mentioned for the 2 young in demand strikers?

14 Jun 2020 17:56:12
Stigno
James Graham Ross county 16
Weston, Blackpool 16.
Obviously in my opinion for the future.

14 Jun 2020 09:08:00
Greatest British players I have ever seen:

1. George Best
2. Gazza
3. Slim Jim

What's your top 3?

14 Jun 2020 09:25:29
I would agree in the same order as you DOIGER👍.

14 Jun 2020 10:08:15
Slim Jim
Gazza
Dalglish.

14 Jun 2020 10:19:59
Baxter Best Gazza.

14 Jun 2020 10:35:01
I had the privelage of seeing all three in action, all different styles of player and I would have loved to see Best in a Rangers shirt. For me Baxter was the best left half that Scotland will ever produce. No one modern day comes close to Best in his position, I remember seeing him destroy Scotland at Hampden. As for Gazza, he was the nearest player at Rangers that I have seen to Baxter. Three absolute geniuses with a football. I simply can't separate them but if I had to then Baxter would come top. Dalglish was a good player as he proved at Liverpool but not in the same class as Gazza, Best and Baxter. There are other quality players as well for me, John Whyte at Spurs back in the 1960's, Rodney Marsh, Sir Stanley Matthews, only saw him in the twilight of his career and he still looked a quality player.

14 Jun 2020 11:23:33
Best, Best and Best! Seriously, Best, Gazza and Baxter.
My dad was a centre half played with and against world class players in both Scotland and England. He was too old to play against Best (who he thought was phenomenal) but his top 3 were Tom Finney, Duncan Edwards and Billy Steel.

14 Jun 2020 11:27:48
Best Gazza Dalglish are my 3 which I seen play in the flesh. I had seen George Best play on a few occasions, But remember going to watch Best play for the Hibs against Celtic at Easter Road with a Hibs mate. Standing on the terrace all I heard was Cunny ya wee Orange B. Everyone was looking about for this guy called Cunny. It was only at halftime I realised It was Celtic guys I knew from my home town off Broxburn standing behind us. We still have a laugh about it to this day when I go back to Scotland to see family. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.

14 Jun 2020 11:32:30
Gazza
Durrant
Cooper

In that order. For me if Durrant had not been assaulted at Pittodrie that day could have gone on to be one of the best our country ever produced, but that year or so pre injury I thought he was unplayable.

14 Jun 2020 13:14:20
Cambiger- I remember that game, that challenge on Durrant as if it were yesterday. Durrant was simply magnificent, he would waltz by players as if they weren't there. He also had a great shot on him. At the time there was a lot of focus and attention on him. Your absolutely correct Durrant would of went far if it wasnt for that horrific tackle. I wonder where he would of ended up. Such a shame. Fantastic talent.

14 Jun 2020 13:48:12
Best, Gazza and Dalgleish. I was behind the goal at the San Jose Earthquakes vs Fort Lauderdale Strikers game when Best scored that wonder goal. still keep thinking of that goal 39 years later, wonderful skill.

14 Jun 2020 13:53:02
I was up at the sheepdome the day that useless piece of s**t simpson crushed durranty's knee with a horrendous tackle. He was some attacking midfielder ian durrant and as a few of us will know liverpool at the time were very interested in him, 'till that injury that day. I was also told juventus were watching him closely as well. He would have been close to the gascoigne mould, if neil simpson, hadn't crippled him!

14 Jun 2020 15:14:50
To me dagliesh was a genius at liverpool and I would put him top. Best was amazing but only when he was in the mood. Gazza was best player in the world in world cup 90. Imagine a team with they 3 in it.

14 Jun 2020 15:16:44
SHL, I was supposed to be going to that game also but was asked to work all day (double time) . I still stayed at home with my folks and remember my dad telling me about Durrants injury when I got home. I like many many others was absolutely gutted. Do you know, I've watched that tackle once and that was enough.

14 Jun 2020 15:29:24
Two players not mentioned from my early days following Rangers, are Davy Wilson and MacMillan.

14 Jun 2020 15:49:01
SHL, Nottingham Forest were also very interested in Durrant and had been keeping a close eye on him ( according to my dad ) . Remember Forest were a premiership team at that time. However i wasn't aware of Juventus interest.

14 Jun 2020 16:52:04
Guys I agree others woulda been interested but at that time I genuinely believe we were the biggest club in Britain. Attracting Souness, Butch, Wilkins, Steven etc etc . There’s no way he would have left for another British side. A few years later after start of Prem things changed .

14 Jun 2020 16:56:51
Gazza, Gerrard, Bale, in my era I’d say three best British players I’ve seen, obviously Mcoist n Hately ain’t too far away too 👍👍👍.

14 Jun 2020 17:52:18
George Best was, by some distance, the best ever British born player. Baxter and Gascoigne would be next. There is then a whole group of greats who were wonderful to watch but lacked the absolute genius of the three at the top.
