Does anyone know what if anything has been arranged re pre season start date friendlies etc?

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
15 May 2018 23:01:13
Well it is definately true that Ollie Mcburnie has expressed that he would like to sign for Rangers with his contract expiring next month he will therefore be FREE and wages are less than 10k a week! Get him snapped up
15 May 2018 23:36:06
He’s still got a year left in his contract
16 May 2018 08:20:33
No he hasn't it runs out this year thebear82
16 May 2018 10:05:45
He signed a 3 year deal in 2015 with them and signed a 1 year extension in 2016. He's contracted for another year.
16 May 2018 10:51:14
One year left on contract
16 May 2018 14:28:39
From what ave read his contract finishes on the 30.06.2018 his loan contract finishes on the 31.05.2018 so as far as a see he will become a free agent on the 1st of july 2018
15 May 2018 21:40:52
Anyone think Reece Oxford would be worth a punt? Young centre half out of contract this summer. Only 19 so sell on value if he done well.
15 May 2018 22:43:48
Defo worth a punt Blue, we need to make the cross border Bosmans work for us with Stevie G’s name!
16 May 2018 07:46:03
We were linked with a loan move for him back when Warburton was manager, tipped to be a player with a big future, if he’s out of contract we must try to sign him up!
16 May 2018 08:50:34
Reece oxford would be a great signing for us! Very good age and the young centre half has terrific potential! That's a signing i'd hope gerrard will make! I think we should also sign, both centre halfs, martin skrtel and ryan shawcross, if its at all possible! Both skrtel and shawcross are exactly what we're looking for! Both very strong powerful defenders with bags of experience, playing at a much higher level, in the english premier league! They two WON'T get bullied by anyone up here, in the scottish premiership! Thoughts bears?
15 May 2018 21:19:23
Fecking hope any rumours of Joe Hart are just bin fodder. Would rather have Tony Hart and his mate Morph at centre back instead of Russell Martin.
15 May 2018 21:37:58
Buckled
15 May 2018 21:49:45
Nah mate just the truth
15 May 2018 22:25:59
I found it funny that’s all.
15 May 2018 20:57:32
Ryan Shawcross would be a superb signing! He has already expressed that he would like away from Stoke after many years and also being relegated Apparently he'd cost near nothing but wages would be around 25k
15 May 2018 22:34:26
I wrote on here last week that we should sign Shawcross as he is an excellent CB, unfortunately some fans disagreed and one even said he was a red card walking, at least he doesn't bottle it or try to hide he is a leader on the park
16 May 2018 06:50:35
Too big a risk due to his back injury. Can’t pay £25k per week for a player who only plays 20 games a season!
15 May 2018 20:23:59
Scottish Football is nothing without Rangers Football Club, it is pure killing them that we're back. Slap our wrist and watch the Gerrard Revolution still steamroll the Sunbed Addicts house of cards. Celtic might have money but Rogers is nothing and will fold with quality opposition. His days are numbered!
15 May 2018 21:57:32
Well said Struthseeker. They are blinded to the fact they need a strong FAMOUS.
15 May 2018 22:20:14
Struthseaker and Govanor, talk is cheap. This hysteria is no different than when Pedro came in and bought Alvrs and co. Whst makes you think "you are back"? SG is totally untried and maybe he will do well but no one will know until the end of next season. So grow up. You have made a fool of yourself season after season. Take some time off.
15 May 2018 23:30:35
We’ve had our wee rest Johnny boy.
We welcome the chase. SG has got you lot reaching for the panic alarm. Bring it on
16 May 2018 08:54:17
What panic Baz. Just because you say we are panicking you think its true. Grow up. We will go about our business as usual. We can sign £5m players. You have no chance. Get some players in and start building something. 3 managers in 2 seasons. Now SG untried. Another gamble. King still has no NOMAD so no share issue no £6m. Why would we panic?
16 May 2018 08:55:52
If i'm not mistaken johnnymac55,were you not the one on here saying, that a week before gerrard was announced, as our new manager, that on the tuesday before he was unveiled on the Friday, you said at 11am it would be announced that gerrard had turned down the rangers manager's job? Aye you did mate, so we won't be listening to you my friend!
15 May 2018 20:01:33
Had to laugh a lemmons statement i do not think i am in serious trouble with what i did, the fourth official W Column was okay about it shock shock shock lol.
15 May 2018 20:30:53
Willie Collum prob was ok with it. because the 4th official was Bobby Madden.
15 May 2018 19:54:17
The words no one likes us we don't care have never been more true. It seems like the whole of Scottish football has an agenda against us with the incompetence of the sfa and the paranoia of the manky mob across the city seemingly trying everything in their power to stop us from being no 1again.
15 May 2018 22:21:53
No Robbieg. Rangers did not disclose the tax problem. In fact they lied. End of story.
15 May 2018 22:54:34
Johnny Mac
So you know exactly what happened do you? Take it you were in the know and can say 100% that’s what happened? Or is it just your usual spouting of bile when you haven’t got a clue what really happened? Tbh your reaction and subsequent texts says more about the type of person you are. Is your life that empty that you have to come on here and spout your twisted hatred about something you know nothing about
15 May 2018 23:39:50
So ArthurD, do you know the real story,?, or do you just close your eyes and put your fingers in your ears, every time you have to face the facts that your club lied and cheated, and criticise anyone that exposes it, why don't you turn over a new leaf, and accept what happened, and stop blaming everyone and anyone that thinks it's wrong for liers and cheats to get a way with it.
16 May 2018 00:15:39
aindoh,
No I don’t and that’s why I haven’t made any statements pretending that I do know exactly what’s happened. Also can you please show me a post where I have pointed the finger at anyone for what happened to Rangers? Why are you making things up? Are you not a big old to make things up? What facts are there that this happened? As far as I am aware the club has been charged and not convicted? Are you not aware that until proven guilty you are innocent? Or does that not apply when it comes to Rangers?
16 May 2018 08:59:40
Arthur all of this fraud came out in the Craig Whyte trial. that's why you have had the letter from SFA. Accept it. I like everyone else knows that you claimed tax was not due when it was. Its you who are talking nonesense yet again. Hail hail
15 May 2018 19:34:56
So we guarantee a uefa slot, new manager in place, start attracting better level of players, everyone is talking Rangers.
“How can we stop this and put them back down” is the thinking of certain individuals, “we couldn’t get hibs into third and losing to aberdeen didn’t stop them either, I know what we can do, pass me the phone”.
Surprise Surprise, just goes to show the level some (wonder who) people will go to to try and keep us down, their success is crucial to this.
As the board have already announced this will be fiercely fought although I believe regardless of fact and information a guilty verdict has already been decided by “certain individuals “ and the punishment will be as much as they can get away with.
“Sporting integrity” you have got to laugh, our FA and it’s controllers (? ) are the biggest bunch of charlatans you will ever find.
The Famous Glasgow Rangers will not be kept down by anyone or any lynchmob and these actions only show that we have got them scared.
15 May 2018 20:05:06
Totally agree you could not make it up time to complain and not sit back and take this crap. Then again we are the FAMOUS and have some dignity.
15 May 2018 20:10:38
Well put cajlta. Ever time there is something positive for our great club. Certain people with their agendas can't help themselves out of pure panic and fear. The concept of irony must be lost on any fan in scotland that attempt to direct the term "sporting integrity" at us.
15 May 2018 20:39:05
had a terrible feeling today when i heard this stuff. they were going to hit us with a transfer ban for 12 months. lawells phone to the sfa must have been red hot. when SG was unveiled as manager
15 May 2018 20:52:40
Gentlemen I have been quite fo a while. If honest embarrassed about my Duufy for managers position. Want a fortnight I am sure you fellow bears will agree. Gerrard what an appointment bigger than that smelly mobs Brenda for sure. Now today's topic. Yes the rest of Scottish football are shacking in there boots they will try anything to undermine us. These it is beyond my belief that the do not realise or are scared to admit to their paranoid bog minded brains that a strong FAMOUS is good for Scottish football. Agree
15 May 2018 21:28:54
It’s the same the last 2 years, firstly the bread man was a genius, then the Pedro hit the town, and he was going to get all the talent from Mexico etc, then there was the master stroke of king appointing murty, the footballing genius, a hidden gem from in house, and now Gerrard.
I accept Gerrard was a big name in his playing days, but I’ll give him 6 months before all you bears want rid of him, this is the same mistake Celtic made with Barnes, and he had Dalgleish up stairs
15 May 2018 22:26:17
Jsj73 you are spot on. SG is untried and yet the rangers supporters are acting as if they had Pep as manager. One other thing there is no way Rangers will buy 3 players for £13mill. Also no sign of the share issue so another £6mill down. Dtop getting taken for mugs AGAIN and AGAIN
16 May 2018 00:03:22
Mac55, I sense fear in your text. I assume that you know for sure we won’t (or can’t) buy 3 players for that amount of money or is it more like I suspect that you hope.
The thought it seems is enough to have yourself and all your fellow infatuates running for your keyboards in some kind of attempt to reassure each other this isn’t happening. But what if it did, what if this nightmare you are all living became real, threatened your clubs easy ride, would it all come tumbling down like a pack of cards. It may happen, it may not, who knows for sure, but it might and that’s what is making you tremble.
It’s ok to be afraid, it’s healthy. Just head back over to your own site and reassure them that it’s only a bad dream and if everyone prays together it will go away.
Let’s try and make this next season a fair fight unless you don’t think your club have got the bottle (quickly, pass me the phone) . 🍾
15 May 2018 19:20:04
I said it earlier we have money to spend but not 10 players at around 100.000 a week we haven't got that money to burn now it's harte in goals 3 centre half's Joe Allen in midfield a 4 million pound forward yes this is a roumers page but let's not get carried away please.
15 May 2018 19:15:24
Lets get behind our famous club. That mob used to talk about an establishment we all know this is true you only need to listen to the television and read the papers.
15 May 2018 18:19:56
Well we will wait see what happens we could be sanctioned from European football with this tax cade or could get fine if found guilty.
15 May 2018 19:51:16
Rabrfc. We cannot face a Europe sanction, time barred
15 May 2018 20:13:52
We can only be fined or barred from sfa competitions. Nothing more. i'd like to know why actions are being taken against us. The previous decision was made by a panel of the sfa not rfc. Surely uf the sfa have issues it should be against their own decision makers. Not our club.
15 May 2018 17:30:39
Seriously, the incompetence of the SFA knows no limits.
If they had done their job right back in 2011 this would not be an issue. They have a cheek to re-raise this.
You'd think after incorrectly applying a transfer embargo upon the club in 2012 they would drop this charge.
Here we go again, another witch hunt begins.
15 May 2018 17:54:50
That's what happens when Lawwell and celtic in general have so much influence over the running of the game in this country.
15 May 2018 18:31:13
It’s taken them all this time to realise Craig Whyte was a liar?
Seriously.
Also the timing of this announcement is worrying. Why wait 8 months until the season ends? What took them so long? I hate Scottish football. They have hammered our club relentlessly.
15 May 2018 22:16:01
And in the meantime we will try sell TV rights using the FAMOUS clubs name and new manager to do so couldn't make this up
16 May 2018 11:50:44
Hi Blueblood, sorry to bring facts to the argument, but the current TV deal has another two years to run.
So you have made it up.
15 May 2018 17:12:43
See the SFA are at it again, we've been hit with 2 charges over the awarding of a UEFA licence in 2011. Anybody any idea how this may or may not affect us now?
15 May 2018 17:46:07
Will have a small fine to pay that's it. Like 30k
15 May 2018 18:02:42
Not sure if it's just mass hysteria on social media with this story breaking, but fans seem to be worried about a transfer embargo being applied.
As far as i'm aware the only penalty for this will be financial, as in a fine, anything from £1000 - £5,000,000. Which is all good news of course.
15 May 2018 18:05:04
Sir struth. If found guilty, banned from Europe, Scottish cup or points deduction
15 May 2018 18:07:08
Contact Liewell at Parkhead and he will let you no our sanctions 😭😡
15 May 2018 18:52:19
It’s our friends across the city running and panicking because we’re heading in the right direction. They’re doing anything they can to stop us. I’ve heard the sanctions would be a fine as mentioned above and not being able to play in the Scottish cup (don’t know what that has to do with Europe) . It just highlights the incompetence of the sfa really
15 May 2018 21:00:05
Jboy17 we CANNOT BE BARRED FROM EUROPE it's time barred
15 May 2018 21:54:00
Gods11 why are you shouting like a. I corrected my post on three occasions. Yes time barred after five years. But UEFA website says five years from when crime committed and came to light. In sta own admission it came to light during whites court case.
I think we r ok for Europe.
15 May 2018 16:32:37
The sfa are a complete embarrassment. Challenging theirown decision to grant us a European licence in 2011. No wonder our game is a laughing stock.
15 May 2018 17:10:00
They aren't challenging their own decision. They are stating that their decision was made on the back of false info passed by Rangers regarding money owed to the taxman. Tho surely this should impact the oldco and not the newco?
15 May 2018 17:47:03
No parky it's against the club not the holding company. Will just be a small fine anyway
15 May 2018 18:10:26
Ether way what's the point on bringing it up?
15 May 2018 18:53:44
According to half of them we are not rangers anymore secco blah blah blah, new club blah blah
We need not worry then.
Liewell and co worried that we could actually be on the turn around. Will wait years and throw muck, couldn’t make it up.
Wonder if any sanctions about 80% of the giro dome singing pro ira songs as they lifted the trophy or the H?! **** banner at the spoon burners
15 May 2018 16:21:32
I see that Lennon has been charged by the SFA for his on pitch celebrations.
Can't help but think that had Pedro done something similar the headlines and pundits would be in melt-down.
15 May 2018 18:12:19
Dk17 we have more to worry about re our notice
15 May 2018 14:40:13
Over the last few months I've found myself panicking when thinking about the rangers and the direction in which the club are going.
My main concern was the quality of player we would be attracting.
I can honestly say that I am no longer worried at all.
I feel any signing we make will be ones of quality that will come in and be mentally prepared to play for the rangers.
This has been the biggest problem for us. Having ability jist isn't enough to play for a big club.
I wouldn't be worried about dross coming into the club any longer.
We need to cut the numbers massively also. Far to many people hanging around taking a wage.
Mass clear out and specific selective recruitment.
Let's go!
15 May 2018 14:26:32
Hi just wondering if any if you guys on cccs scheme for away games could pass me some info as first time I've signed up for it . How many games on average are you likely to
get
15 May 2018 15:36:59
Me and my son got about 8 or 9, including both parkhead and Pittodrie
15 May 2018 16:54:34
cheers Baz
15 May 2018 13:32:56
Read this on the hitc page a couple of days ago, and now more people are jumping on it, but apparently there is growing interest in Robert Huth, had an injury hit campaign but imo would be an excellent addition if true. Anyone know anymore on this? Cheers.
15 May 2018 13:51:17
Robert Huth has been out all season with injuries, was a great defender in his day but I would prefer Ryan Shawcross the Stoke City captain
15 May 2018 13:52:02
Isn’t he very slow.
15 May 2018 14:26:30
Shawcross if available would be a shout. Wasn't Davie Weir slow as well though? But pairing him with a more energetic cb wouldn't be a bad shout. Pl winner with Chelsea and Leicester would seem a bit foolish to just write him off.
15 May 2018 14:52:06
Heard a rumour from a mate that Michael Dawson might be on the radar, can’t say I’ve seen many games he’s played in, I’ve certainly not followed his career but he has spent the majority of his time in the EPL, I know that that doesn’t make a good player but it’s certainly promising that we are looking to sort out the defensive frailties!
15 May 2018 16:05:06
The futures Bright yeah I read earlier that he had mentioned on a radio interview if a call came frI'm ibrox he'd welcome it. Remains to be seen but at least we are looking at players of this calibre not English league 1.
15 May 2018 16:26:28
Would take Dawson in a hearbeat if true. Much better quality than anyone we've had recently.
15 May 2018 12:43:09
Roll on the 19th. June, when our draw will be made for our first round draw in Europe.
I wonder what the odds are, on a trip to Northern Ireland? [ 1st leg due on the 12th. July. ]
15 May 2018 13:31:13
How, in hell, can you disagree with a fact and a question?
If it is one of our blinkered fans that will disagree with anything I post, I will truly despair.
If it was one of "them", well what is new?
15 May 2018 13:52:46
Hahaha. you are correct mate, what is wrong with some people hitting the disagree?
15 May 2018 14:17:28
No more like, what is wrong with people moaning about other people hitting the dissagree button on their post. get over it lol
15 May 2018 14:20:35
You're always going to get disagrees no matter what. Think along the lines of Timalloy, Hibsbhoy etc
16 May 2018 15:16:29
At least our fans won’t bottle a trip to NI like the fearsome Green Brigade did! They ‘ Hung Out The Flags ‘ of surrender!
16 May 2018 15:13:24
It's possibly a fan who wants us to move on from the NI links and anything potentially sectarian?
15 May 2018 10:58:07
Just read that we will be playing in the europa preliminary round which leads tp a bit of a problem for other clubs . so do celtic a) try to beat motherwell and knock out their wee cousins? (Hibs) or lose to Motherwell and put their buddies aberdeen into the preliminary round? over to you timalloy and hibsboy? I posted this on here as I know you will read it as your always on here.
15 May 2018 11:16:02
Don’t be as bad as them brian with stupid questions - c'mon you think they care about anything thing other than the double treble?
If they lose on Saturday it’s because Motherwell deserve it or because of they pesky Masonic refs and they’re honest mistakes 😂😂😂😂
No conspiracies bears let’s ocergaul this squad and look to next season 👌👌
15 May 2018 11:37:28
Sorry alex? Just a bit of light hearted banter on the banter page? Conspiracies? ? Never mentioned it!
15 May 2018 12:17:50
Hi Brian, just read that we will not have to play in the preliminary rounds but we will start in the first qualifying round the first tie to be on 12th july
15 May 2018 14:04:18
Yep your right it is thw qualifiers
15 May 2018 10:50:59
What has happened to all the people in the know that had it on good authority that millions were coming our way via investment?
15 May 2018 11:08:09
Give it time. Big money will be made available for SG, of that I have no doubt
15 May 2018 11:31:01
Currently papers are reporting Bids of £4million for Skrtel, £4million for Oli McBurnie as being tabled. I have no inside information on whether it is true or not, but it does look likely that there is more available than many think, but probably not as much as others would like.
When you add into the mix that the Scott Arfield contract is worth a reported £5.3million over 4 years it is clear that money is available.
At the end of the day this looks like being an interesting transfer window for us. We will undoubtedly be linked with every player that has ever heard of Liverpool, far less played for them.
15 May 2018 13:40:56
Won't be holding my breath on any big investment until King satisfies the Takeover Panel's demands.
15 May 2018 13:56:08
I think marcus is asking, where are all so called people with sources and contacts hiding now that their rumours have proved untrue?
15 May 2018 14:10:29
With regards to investment on the scale of what people think, no one is going to know anything other than the folks involved with the actual investment, this is an absolute fact. Any "cranks" on here suggesting they "Know" about investment are just at it.
15 May 2018 10:38:39
I think depending on how Rossiter does during pre-season and depending on who we sign and those that leave he will be made captain but only if he shows he over his injury battles.
15 May 2018 10:50:34
Seriously doubt he will be made captain. Not even played 15 games for us yet. Depends on signings but need a natural leader as captain so regardless of the outcome of Wallace situation he should not be captain anymore
15 May 2018 11:40:34
Let rossiter get back playing before we make him captain, I want 30 games from him next season.
15 May 2018 12:54:41
Rossiter will be a great player for Gers, best midfielder we've got
15 May 2018 13:07:08
Agree jboy17 doesn't need added pressure right now just needs to concentrate on keeping fit and playing games. Really good for us if he can stay fit
15 May 2018 13:48:12
Well said Brian, let's just hope the lad has a season that isn't plagued by injury. Fantastic potential!
As for McGinn, it wasn't one of his better performances but knowing he is about to leave Hibs probably meant he wasn't willing to go all out and risk injury. Cracking prospect and would be a great addition for us although probably will receive better offers from English Championship.
15 May 2018 17:11:53
A better offer than one from stevie g? Don't think so lol
15 May 2018 07:22:53
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 15th May 2018
