Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


16 May 2018 21:55:16
Assuming the defence is getting sorted and leaving Marriott and OMB out in the assumption we may not get both, what other options upfront do you see / want realistically?



16 May 2018 23:04:42
Lego it all depends on finances mate. I see Gerrard has praised the signings of Arfield and McGregor online but I am not convinced they were his own choice. Not saying they were bad signings just not Gerrard’s call in my opinion.

I’d like to see us aim higher than championship players. Would really like someone in the mould of Sam Vokes who has slid behind Wood and Barnes at Burnley.



17 May 2018 06:14:16
Championship players?
Both players have premiership experience and in my opinion they will both improve the team exactly the signings we need.



17 May 2018 07:16:26
Posiedon, championship players?
Arfield came from Burnley who were 7th in the Premiership this year and qualified for Europa league,



17 May 2018 12:48:48
My point wasn’t directed at Arfield.

I was getting at more the links to Oli and Marriot. Not saying they are poor players but would like better.



16 May 2018 21:42:38
Just like to welcome Gregsy back, 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Welcome home.



17 May 2018 08:54:05
A few years back I'd have called what Shagger done as inexcusable but we're in a place just now where we can't turn down quality and he's always been an excellent keeper.

If he performs and isn't just back to take a wage then I'm happy to welcome him back but just like most new signings I'm excited to see what he does but happy to sit on the fence until we see them perform.



17 May 2018 09:26:58
I watched Mcgregor give an interview a few years back about what went on with liquidators, green etc on Goals on Sunday and it changed my attitude toward the players who left.

Some of the lads were top international players being asked to Brechin, etc

Mcgregor spoke very highly of Rangers and his time at the club.

It’s idiots like Whittaker and Naismith I can’t stand. Giving press conferences and interviews. Now I know they were badly advised but I don’t think all the players who left should be shunned.



17 May 2018 11:36:55
F-U, what does the U in your handle stand for, U-turn.



16 May 2018 21:42:22
Mark Allen apparently due to have talks with Martin Kelly of Crystal Palace shortly. Mainly a right back but can play at CB or LB. A versatile ex Liverpool starlet, England cap, premiership experience, still only 28 and importantly, almost out of contract. Finally we seem to be signing smart.



16 May 2018 22:48:30
Would be great signing. Would be surprised if no premiership interest though.



16 May 2018 20:45:44
Does anyone know where we are going for pre season?



16 May 2018 20:52:36
Uranus



16 May 2018 22:17:58
Season is just finished i wouldn't imagine any pre season games will be sorted yet



16 May 2018 22:48:59
cheers



16 May 2018 23:47:46
Club usually goes to Germany for pre season training camp. Not sure if it might change when Stevie g comes in.



16 May 2018 19:23:08
Good to see a bit of progress with McShllagger and Arfield (Who has SOME engine) . Glad I renewed for myself and my son. Good times ahead if this continues. These look like long term targets to me so I'm keen to see what SG can attract from down south.

Ps After watching Windass stroll about when we were a man down against hibs I'm convinced he's off. Wasn't interested and was looking after himself. Not got the grit we need. A bit of chasing back could've won us the match, so in my book-Adios buddy.



16 May 2018 20:44:09
Windass plays for himself he's not a team player get rid



16 May 2018 22:01:43
would love to see shaggers reaction if HE bumped into that wee tramp allen in dubai .



16 May 2018 22:16:36
Surprised we signed a 36 year old keeper whose best days are behind him. We should be looking forward not back and trying to sign a much younger keeper with a sell on value.



16 May 2018 23:29:56
36 ain't old for a keeper and shagger is better than Fod.



16 May 2018 23:53:31
Need experience and winners in our team Arthur d. Got promising keepers coming through youth set up in Liam Kelly and Robby McCrorie. And he improves the team straight away. Hulls player of the season so hardly past it.



17 May 2018 01:16:06
I stay in Hull and they have been shocking this season . He is not the answer going forward and is past his best. Couldn’t get into Hull’s team last season and if he is a bold as some people seem to think why wasn’t he at a better team that Hull. Most Hull fans I’ve spoken to not sorry to see him go which says it all.



16 May 2018 23:55:00
He's 35



17 May 2018 05:53:19
He couldn’t get into the hull team last season because he had back surgery and took time to recover. Was on loan at Cardiff. He was your best player last year.



17 May 2018 06:42:45
Arthur d
Sell on keepers? In my opinion if you have a good keeper don't sell them!



17 May 2018 08:31:17
Great business. Sell Wes, use money on other areas.

Gives us 2 years to develop our next keeper.

In the meantime, we have a keeper who's a step up in what we have and cost nothing. I'm sure he could have made more money elsewhere.



16 May 2018 18:56:25
2 great signings already 2 players who know what it takes to wear the famous jersey. Too many in the current squad couldn't handle the jersey and haven't got the winning mentality needed. Firesale soon of current squad. let's hope we get some takers. Any decend offers for fod tav etcwindass etc we should take it. anything over 5 mill for morelos we should take that tmorleloswe



16 May 2018 19:45:43
McGregors words - "I can't keep the smile off my face, " McGregor told Rangers TV. "When the chance came, it was an absolute no-brainer.

"I started training here when I was 12 years old and it's incredible to be back. We need to make this place [Ibrox] a fortress where nobody wants to come, we need to win games, no matter who you are playing. If you keep doing that, that's what wins you titles. "

Thats what we need!



16 May 2018 18:31:17
Who, on here, in the Know, can tell me how much we offered for Goldson? I hope we get him as I really do think he'll shine up here! He's tall, commanding and a no nonsense type player, what we've lacked in recent times



16 May 2018 19:46:31
He's also had open heart surgery, didn't play for almost the whole of last year and might be a real medical risk.



16 May 2018 21:29:00
Burnbank did not know u now have access to players medical records. If he is back playing he must have had some very stringent tests. Most people who have heart ops are actually better off as the replace the damaged parts



16 May 2018 20:57:06
He was back ready to play the latter part of the season though, only for the form of dunk and Duffy that kept him out the team



17 May 2018 00:17:13
Burnbank1, read that also, he had major surgery for an inflated aorta and the operation was a complete success. He was out of the game for 10 months, played regularly, last 10 games before the season ended.



16 May 2018 18:21:42
My post about SRKTEL was to highlight the correct spelling of his name. Not one person on here has got it right.



16 May 2018 18:27:31
Gav are you at the winde up. because that’s not the right spelling either😂😂😂
It’s Skrtel🤦‍♂️



16 May 2018 18:39:45
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂absolute quality. If you are going to try and make an a**e of people try not to make a right c**t of yourself in the process



16 May 2018 18:42:39
😂😂😂😂



16 May 2018 18:59:39
Saw lots of posts with slight misspelling on here who cares we know what we mean (most of the time) . Trying to cover yer arse now mate 😂



16 May 2018 19:36:27
Sharpshooters, does the words Prize guys mean anything to you?



16 May 2018 18:10:37
Wee boy's birthday is coming up soon. Anyone know when the new kit is due to be released?

Cheers.



16 May 2018 17:11:25
McGregor signs, 2 year deal. Surely Fods will be on his way now?



16 May 2018 18:15:44
Welcome back shagger. Let’s go and bring the glory days back. Fods has done well but he lacked the ability to command his box. People always go on about good saves he made but that is he first thing about being a goalkeeper so glad to see shagger return and hopefully we can get a few quid for fod.



16 May 2018 18:39:10
Wes is an okay keeper but if we can get money for him and at the same time bring in someone better on a free then it's a "No brainer". Also can't mind Wes ever saving a pen, which shagger was class at.

If all signings this summer are of this standard, next season could be interesting.



16 May 2018 18:54:23
I might be wrong but I’m sure he saved a pen against Inverness up there in a Friday night. Feel free to correct me people.



16 May 2018 17:11:02
Shagger is back.



16 May 2018 16:20:25
Shaggers back! Happy days.



16 May 2018 15:26:11
Realistically what players do you think are in rangers budget and who would use like to see come in? Gerrard has to be a man with a plan wouldn't ruin his career before it's started, he's too clever 🔴⚪🔵.



16 May 2018 15:49:31
Skirtle, Caukwell, Oxford, Mcburnie.



16 May 2018 16:18:51
Dany ward or McGregor should be our number 1 keeper targets.
Skretel and connor goldson would be 2 great defenders for us.
If tav leaveas would like see club move for flanagan.
Like the look of the young lad kadioglu Who mols has recomended to the club would also like see club move for hyndman aswell.
Jack marriot would be a good signing bit pricey but knows how to score.
No sure bout paying 4 mill for mcburnie.
I we can conduct the majority of these signings above then that will make us stronger with a few others still to add.
They stories of joe hart evans rondan lucas are just that stories



16 May 2018 16:44:04
Shawcross Skrtel mctominey mcburnie plus tip goal scorer



16 May 2018 14:34:24
Is it just me or are Leeds mentioned in everyone of our supposed targets?



16 May 2018 16:24:41
Seems like it or aston villa for that matter! !



16 May 2018 13:09:00
Lifelong supporter and travel over 5/ 6 times a year from Belfast with my sons
On season ticket waiting list for new season
Anyone have an idea when these will be available for purchase and price range

Thanks in advance.



16 May 2018 15:24:00
The deadline for renewals was Monday 14th, don't know when public sale is but would guess at 2 or 3 weeks



16 May 2018 15:35:31
£420 upwards, depends on area. I’d say a few weeks once all renewals sorted. Closing date was Monday gone. I did mine Friday. Steady queues at ibrox all day last Friday.



16 May 2018 17:10:45
public sale on june 1st



16 May 2018 18:26:02
Cheers All



16 May 2018 12:53:09
How much is kipre valued at. Any time we played Motherwell or I've seen them the boy is solid. Young as well. I think however he is a loaner from Leicester



16 May 2018 13:57:53
He’s a solid thug and that’s about it



16 May 2018 14:07:15
He's garbage



16 May 2018 17:05:26
He's better than the garbage we have but hopefully that is about to change. Worryingly there was a mention last night about Martin getting signed. Skirtel is also a thug on the park but I believe every team needs one.



16 May 2018 12:31:08
We are being linked with everyone. reece Burke from West ham the latest defender to be linked. never heard of him tbh.



16 May 2018 12:51:54
We will be linked to ten a day till window shuts lol



16 May 2018 13:06:59
It's the usual with the press needing a story plus a lot of people pretending there granny uncles mate knows this person who has Intel. There's always someone who knows the players dad also or an estate agent who showed them a house near Glasgow.



16 May 2018 13:45:45
The fact is that we are the famous Glasgow Rangers and the rumours will continue all summer because we generate so much interest in the media,
There is no way that Mark Allen and Stevie Gerrard will be giving a list of their targets to anyone, especially the media



16 May 2018 11:16:58
The hummel logo is a bumble bee. What are the qualities of a bee.
They are hard working and all pull together for the Queen bee. The bee by convensional physics should not be able to fly but they do through sheer determination and boundless energy and stamina. Incredible. I think there was a lot more behind choosing hummel than just the money. Although the money helps.



16 May 2018 11:22:09
Good story



16 May 2018 11:32:03
Ffs jeezo you really think we went with hummel because it had a bee on it ha ha



16 May 2018 11:36:08
have you just woken up



16 May 2018 11:52:42
Rfc-chris I hope we put as much though into our squad as they did in shirt logo😂😂 brilliant mate brilliant 👍



16 May 2018 14:47:05
Hope they don't announce an Alloa style away kit if that's the case then 😒



16 May 2018 15:47:25
By that rationale Nike's logo is a tic. nuff said.



16 May 2018 15:52:12
Bee have yersel



16 May 2018 20:45:09
Maybe we should be thankful we didn't end up with le coq sportif. That could have been a whole different dialogue from OP.



16 May 2018 09:03:14
Something slightly different for a minute here guys! Hearing that the arsenal are about to appoint mikel arteta as their new manager/ head coach! I know our DOF mark allen had arteta along with obviously gerrard,
on his rangers manager's shortlist, he submitted to our board of directors! If arteta gets the arsenal job then i wish him well! Like gerrard he's untested as a manager but like gerrard as our manager, he could be a superb choice!



16 May 2018 11:18:40
But but he has no experience. Why are the english media and pundits not pointing out this glaring omission?



16 May 2018 12:11:09
There is no way in a million years will Arteta get the arsenal managers job



16 May 2018 15:30:05
@jaj73 - he’s more chance than Brenda👍



Review Of The Day 16th May 2018

16 May 2018 07:24:54
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 16th May 2018



16 May 2018 06:54:41
Was it a full moon last night? Some of the rumours have lost all sense of reality! Rooney, Evans, Rondon, Terry and Allan (only for £20m due to a Scottish Loop Hole) lol!



16 May 2018 09:31:17
That be half near half million in wages alone probably. absolutely no chance ( as much I enjoy seeing rumors on here ) “rumors” like that are just Hilariously bad



16 May 2018 06:38:26
Having seen all the rumours on here about the 20 EPL players we will get because Stevie G will bring them up with him, i just wanted to have a look at our own pool of talent and see what youths may come through next year.
Ryan Hardie/ Liam Burt/ Jamie Barjonas/ Aidan Wilson/ Serge Atakayi/ Glenn Middleton/ Myles Beerman.
All of these players have been touted to break through for a while and some have made a good impression, especially Barjonas. My concern is that quite a few of them have gone to the HK 7s tournament, so wouldn't be getting much of a break. Thoughts people?



16 May 2018 06:48:43
Every one of them should be giving a chance at preseason, I wasn’t sold on Beerman but let’s see what he’s like two years older.



16 May 2018 07:27:13
heard good things about middleton

any time i saw barjonas he looked strong and composed on the ball with a good engine to get box to box

we have to give some of these lads a run to see if any cld make it especially given our finances

hope SG gives youth a chance as if rather a hardie burt or barjonas in the team over herrera pena any day



16 May 2018 07:42:00
There is no point in having a youth system if the youngster are never going to be given a chance. There is an old saying, 'if you are good enough you are old enough'. I think I first heard that about Denis Law and later George Best. McCoist had the chance to build a new squad with youngsters when we were put into the lowest tier but decided saving his own skin was more important so he signed duds. I've been a fan of Hardie for some time now and don't understand why he hasn't been given a chance. So I'm all for the kids being blooded, perhaps in the League Cup initially.



16 May 2018 08:23:35
Doiger, to be fair to McCoist the talent coming through at the time was not good enough, you must agree🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



16 May 2018 09:52:16
Which ones of Mccoists youths would you have picked doiger and where are they now?



16 May 2018 10:19:36
Gasparotto, Hegarty, MacLeod, Crawford, Murdoch, Kyle Hutton, Aird, Hemmings, Walsh, McAusland, Telfer, Kal Naismith, Hardie



16 May 2018 10:22:31
And how many of the experienced players are still with the club and where are they now?

I watched big loud mouth Boyd win more headers and run further in one game than he did in a full season for us a couple of weeks ago.

Ally had an opportunity to build a fit young squad that would come up the leagues together. But he choose another route and it clearly didn’t work. No one is saying he should have played the under 18s but his signing policy was wrong with no future outlook.



16 May 2018 11:28:32
Doiger all playing at a pretty low level



16 May 2018 11:46:25
Well we'll never know will we joby17?
