if we go for the striker from osijek rather than pay the 3m they want can we not offer 2m or 2.5m and loan them grezda back for the season

he did well for them before he got injured was ment to be one of the best players in that league

and it would get him game time and he might come back next season better sure he was out for a while before we got him.



18 May 2019 07:51:42
Good shout jamesy.



18 May 2019 08:38:53
The striker is coming from that league too. If Grezda was one of the best players then what does it say about him? Suppose big Katic came from there too. Not sure what to make of it tbh.



17 May 2019 21:39:13
Team for Kilmarnock game.


Fod

Tav
Goldson
Worrell
Flanagan

Candeias
Dorrans
Jack
Kamara
Kent

Defoe.



17 May 2019 22:12:26
Is katic injured? I'd think we'd start the game with the same 11 as started the last game.



17 May 2019 22:44:39
Getrard let Katic go on holiday a week early according to papers.



17 May 2019 22:50:18
Katic has been allowed to head off on holiday early as he has international games coming up. Arfield the same. I’m hoping Dorrans gets a start as for me he will be like a new signing and it stays fit will be a starter.



17 May 2019 23:03:52
Worrall why?
Dirrans still injured.



17 May 2019 23:06:45
Katic and arfield on holiday early👍.



17 May 2019 23:23:23
Where is Scotty Arfield?



17 May 2019 23:42:37
I think Katic is away with the Croatia u21’s.



18 May 2019 00:01:07
Katic is rested by the gaffer with a view to Croatias summer U21 campaign.



18 May 2019 00:44:59
Katic has been allowed to take time off early, the same as Arfield since they’ll both have a busy summer with international duty. I think Alfie will start to see if he can ensure being top scorer and gain some more interest from teams. I’d also like the see the boy Polster play.



18 May 2019 07:05:19
Sure there is more than katic and arfield away early. Will see a lot of fringe players playing. Think polster will start.



18 May 2019 08:05:58
He could give the whole team early holidays, this game as has the whole season, been a waste of time and meaningless.



18 May 2019 09:17:59
Dorrans the worst midfielder at Ibrox! Won’t be missed when he hopefully moves on this summer.



18 May 2019 09:37:21
Zikos, what nonsense, end of!



18 May 2019 10:01:51
Zikos deary me take a day off.



18 May 2019 10:06:11
Why not give some our young players
A chance.



18 May 2019 11:36:06
Even if Dorrans was fit can't see SG risking him on that pitch not after a long term injury.



18 May 2019 15:25:01
Hope not hate meaningless game? For the first time since the split started in I think 2010 mabey wrong on date but no team has ever won all fixtures after the split, the famous will manage that tomorrow if we win so I don't see this as a meaningless game and don't think others will too.



18 May 2019 16:07:26
We have the most fickle fans in the world. This season has been a waste of time and meaningless? Take it you’ve been a fan for a couple of years? Otherwise, you’d realise what an idiotic statement that truly is. I really wonder what goes through some people’s minds at time. We had a great run in Europe. Got a fantastic new management team and a squad light years better than where it was. Within 3-6 points of them and catching. Two OF wins and getting closer all the time. Players who want to play for the jersey. Record season ticket sales. Genuine hope and belief. Some ‘fans’ probably don’t remember when we had Ian Black and Kevin Kyle in the squad. But of course, Dorrans is a terrible midfielder. Genuinely shaking my head in wonder.



17 May 2019 15:29:42
I don't believe Flanagan ban overturned. As a Drunken, fornicating, lying, thief What's the big issue With Israel Folou's tweet?



17 May 2019 17:00:33
Do you have a point of have you had too many pints?



17 May 2019 17:10:46
Bluepete36

I am sorry to hear that you are a drunken, lying, fornicating thief.

The first step towards recovery is self awareness. It must have taken a lot of guts for your rather public admission.

Keep the chin up and begin to fight your demons in small steps.

Good luck!



17 May 2019 17:44:28
Bluepete! What's that post all about! think you've had too much of that Friday feeling.



17 May 2019 18:58:44
Know I keep posting from holiday, but in Portugal right now and just seen Flannigan verdict. Never seen that coming, must admit. Is that some sort of admission of guilt from SPL that they have been unrightfully biased against us, ref Big number 5 not being cited for Defoe incident? . Sorry, teddies, a bit s boats! X.



17 May 2019 21:17:30
Admission of blatant incompetence.



18 May 2019 00:04:04
Think we’ve referenced the Killie goalie appeal from cup game, very similar incidents and his was downgraded. System is completely flawed, sad times.



18 May 2019 09:12:30
Correct, wee bear.



17 May 2019 15:23:15
Morelos surprised he's been left out of the Columbian squad and says he made mistakes but every player does. Not 5 red cards in the season they don't. Justifying it doesn't do himself any favours.



17 May 2019 14:50:55
Reports stating Flannigan got off.

If true then my flabber is truly gasted!

What is happening within the SPFL?

Piss-up and brewery springs to mind.



17 May 2019 17:09:54
He already got a yellow - does that not mean he can't be charged retrospectively, no matter how much Sportscene start crying about it? I may be wrong.



17 May 2019 18:44:08
No souness, it can be upgraded to a red👍.



17 May 2019 19:01:52
I think you will both find the correct answer is the SFA will do whatever they want and make it up as they go. Then still manage to make a right Noel Hunt of it.



17 May 2019 21:01:18
Only reason I was allowed to be upgraded is because the ref said he didn’t see the full incident and for me then why did the ref book him at all?



18 May 2019 08:10:32
It simply means that a player can strike, kick, punch, elbow another player and nothing will happen to that player. It's a shambles, needs to be looked at by a truly independent body. Not SFA who are just wandering into one mess after another. They are not fit for purpose. They should all resign NOW.



17 May 2019 14:36:10
Flanagan now been cleared
What a complete utter shambles sfa is.



17 May 2019 18:45:49
Have you read the article yet about why simunovic got off with the elbow on defoe tilla die? 👍.



17 May 2019 21:19:24
I have coldo but my point is inconsistency
Makes no sense.



17 May 2019 13:33:08
Big Lafferty was always good to put the fear into defences but past his best unless he puts the work in like Davo which I can't see happening, his services were nice to see but not enough anymore.



17 May 2019 13:19:35
Sorry folks post cut up.



17 May 2019 16:29:29
😂😂😂Cheers.



17 May 2019 11:53:21
Looking for your thoughts on pre season. I reckon there is 7 players in the last chance saloon and preseason will determine their futures at our club Lafferty, Grez, BB, Dorrans, Docherty and Rossiter and Hardie.

I also think that Middleton, mccrorie McPake, Dallas should all be loaned out with the same clauses that Forrest put on Worrell, ie that they need to play so many first team games.
I especially would like to see McCrorie and Middleton going to a team from the Spl. Let's see how these boys can progress week in week out. I would also add Grez to the list of loaned out get him playing every week.



17 May 2019 13:10:06
I think Lafferty and Grezda are done and would be very surprised if we see them again in a ranger shirt. I think Barisic will be given another chance.



17 May 2019 14:32:13
Wouldnt let mccrorie go anywhere vital part of the squad especially if we need a goalie at short notice😂😂.



17 May 2019 15:25:16
From my understanding, Worrall never had a contract saying he had to play so many games, but one that stated if he played so many, they couldn't recall him in January. This was taken from the press at the time when oniell was looking at taking him back.



17 May 2019 17:19:34
Tilla I agree but the way the mid field is at the mom, I think his game time will again be limited as will Middleton. I see both players as future stars for our club and would hate to see them leave due to not getting enough first team games.

Grezna I think is a player but needs a proper run injury free. Unfortunately we have players playing better in his position, so a loan poss till xmas my preferred option would be either Hearts or Motherwell maybe get turnball cheaper.



17 May 2019 17:31:13
Big ross could also play at ch if needed
I would keeo him there not keen on grezda he can go n middleton still young so a loan makes sense.



17 May 2019 18:49:00
No tilla die, ross can't play CH. Did you not read gerrards comments either about how his confidence was nearly ruined by playing CH👍.



17 May 2019 23:06:48
My opinion is he could in an emergency situation.



17 May 2019 10:35:19
Captain deserves a shirt. I know will hear about discipline but you have to admire the wee bugger for having a go.



17 May 2019 11:08:01
What?



17 May 2019 11:13:40
Chunky? Is part of your post missing?



17 May 2019 10:33:20
Personally I think Kent is an excellent player, he is a great team player, granted he doesn't score a bag full of goals but he hasn't been made a fool of by anyone and he wear his heart on his sleeve. Any player passionate enough to have a dig at a.



17 May 2019 10:02:13
Max Lowe on loan is a strange one. We have Flanagan and Barasic at the moment. Our players who we are paying and imo, Flanagan good enough. I appreciate we may look to offload Barisic although I'm not keen on that until he's had a pre season and chance to play fully fit. Max Lowe - A left back who hasn't startled me at any point, on loan is not what I want to see. I want a settled back line and team going forward. Hope this is merely paper talk. Whatever, I'll trust the Gaffer.



17 May 2019 11:18:34
Hastie, Jones and Greg Stewart I just don’t see them in the starting 11 surely we have young players who can be squad players. Celtic will probably spend big in the summer so we certainly need better quality than what’s been brought in and what’s being linked!



17 May 2019 12:29:03
The squad players that we have offer nothing when they come on so it makes sense to get the best players from other spl clubs that have proven they can play in the spl and use them as squad players. We will sign three or four players for the starting 11. I would imagine somewhere between 10 and 14 players will leave this summer so getting the best spl talent on a free as squad players is a no brainer. We can then use the cash we have to get the three or four quality signings we need. I don't see why people are getting wound up😕👍.



17 May 2019 12:44:14
Don’t think anyone is wound up Coldo, just that some of the players being linked in the media don’t seem to be an improvement. The key will be the the 3-4 players who are first team ready and need to be better than what we have now. I trust that we have one Centre Half and a Striker in this category. I’m confident with these key additions we can kick on next season and bring the title home.



17 May 2019 15:54:50
There is a few posts going on about the quality of the freebies and whether they will improve the first so it does seem as though people are getting wound up ibrox. The freebies are squad players, this is the point that people don't seem to grasp. We will get the 3 or 4 players who will improve the first. But we also need squad players better than what we have already, hence the freebies👍.



17 May 2019 18:13:30
Jones will be a starter. Candieas playing time this season will b limited.



17 May 2019 08:30:44
Just seen on sky sports Greg Stewart been released from Birmingham.



17 May 2019 11:48:05
where from winston green.



17 May 2019 15:28:14
His contract ended, was well publicised that we were in for him for a free at the end of his contract.



Review Of The Day 17th May 2019

17 May 2019 07:29:13
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 17th May 2019



17 May 2019 06:11:50
Media reports this morning linking us with a loan move for derby county left back, max lowe, who's currently on loan with the sheep.
If indeed steven gerrard is wanting to sign lowe, then his friendship with frank lampard,
will no doubt be a contributing factor. I've also heard we're playing derby county in a friendly at ibrox, on sunday 28th of july. What i've seen of lowe up here, he's a good full back who IMO would be a good signing for us and put one over on derek mcinnes and the sheep, into the bargain. This guy is capped with england at every youth level. what's other bears thoughts, on the possibility of signing max lowe?



17 May 2019 07:28:37
Been impressed with Lowe, good player.



17 May 2019 07:40:37
Coop. Good player and has impressed at the sheep. Really want Barasic to push on next season and show us all just how good he is. Don’t want another Katic/ Worrell situation where we are required to provide game time to someone else’s player no better than our own.



17 May 2019 07:42:50
I have to say SC11 we’re really showing a lack of ambition if we sign players like Lowe and Stewart for the first team, neither should be near the starting 11. What will frustrate me more though is, Celtic are they’re for the taking and well regret not signing better and beating them for years.



17 May 2019 08:32:48
My only worry is that we are targeting a second player from Aberdeen, a team who are fighting for third spot, a team who lacked consistency and a team who only really raised their games against us.

Are Stewart and Lowe a step in the right direction, an improvement on what we already have? IMHO no!



17 May 2019 09:38:35
Need better than lowe, christ shinnie is better than lowe. 👍.



17 May 2019 11:40:58
Probably down to the lack of funds rangers will have available for signings.



17 May 2019 13:40:31
Posted on here a while back saying Lowe would be good signing.



17 May 2019 16:38:56
Lowe is a better left back than Flannigan. Should we be looking for better than Lowe? Maybes'



16 May 2019 23:44:30
Can someone name the last player at Ibrox that went on loan from us and came back to be a main player in the squad?



17 May 2019 07:41:34
McGregor is one.



17 May 2019 07:44:15
Not sure but certainly in the past players like Mckay and McGregor went on loan and returned better players and stake first team places.



17 May 2019 07:47:48
More recently Ross MCCRORIE had loan spell, think at Ayr United.



17 May 2019 07:52:27
mcgregor?



17 May 2019 08:53:32
dunno about last player but durranty was out at everton for a period.94 i think and came back.



17 May 2019 09:08:44
Allan McGregor.



17 May 2019 09:26:09
Probably only Alan McGregor 😌🇬🇧.



17 May 2019 09:36:06
Not a great example in the long term but Barrie McKay is the most recent I can think of.



17 May 2019 09:39:36
Mcgregor would be my guess👍.



17 May 2019 10:02:41
Not the most recent but Charlie Adam.



17 May 2019 12:22:25
The reason I asked is that it shows that most of these players out on loan are there for a reason. Not many go away and come back and become a big part of the 1st 11.



17 May 2019 13:07:49
McKay was a great example, came back firing, just shame he lost his head and faded away, such a promising talent wasted.



17 May 2019 16:44:03
Windy, Alan McGregor, Ross McCrorie, Barry Mckay and Charlie Adam kind of disprove your theory.



17 May 2019 19:21:47
Bankie, McGregor I agree but McCorrie can't start, MCkay would be no where near this squad, so 2 in how many years. Lots of posts expecting loans coming back and going into the squad. Me I think the squad is top heavy as it is.
