Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


18 Aug 2016 22:56:59
Anyone think there could be one more player to come that hasn't been mentioned as Warbs said close on 'one or two'



19 Aug 2016 07:33:15
Garner n lescott that's the 2 with maybe senderos if he wants him.



19 Aug 2016 13:07:58
Lescott and granger.



18 Aug 2016 23:19:52
A few weeks ago we had someone up for a medical who did not get through it. Anyone know who it was?



19 Aug 2016 09:07:13
John Hartson.



19 Aug 2016 09:33:04
essien lol.



19 Aug 2016 09:37:16
Paul Gascoigne.



19 Aug 2016 12:37:00
was it lescott?



19 Aug 2016 13:38:47
Deeb it was big davie weir (wishful thinking ) lol.



19 Aug 2016 13:22:15
Prodan.



18 Aug 2016 23:04:14
i don't know what to think about lescott he played rank rotten in the villa team last year and appeared not to be interested only time will tell.



18 Aug 2016 23:47:19
Garner didn't have a productive season just there, but was terrific in League One and scored more than Bradshaw and Grigg.

Lescott was the West Brom player of the year in his debut season at the club. He was part of a rank rotten team, but it wasn't a team just consisting of Joleon Lescott. He was one player.

One bad season doesn't ruin a player's reputation and career. People can talk about that one season and ignore all the good he's done before. A team of Lescott, Barton, Kranjcar, Rossiter and many others. Find it difficult to point out q flaw in this current team.



19 Aug 2016 02:27:45
Thorn76 it does when age catches up on you, should be looking at early 30s at the oldest. Would of been intersting to see what PS was capable of instead, or wish we could sign and have both, do this by letting Hill go into coaching if possible.



19 Aug 2016 06:59:38
Alex 1972,davie weir was 37 years old when he signed for us and look how good he was in scottish football, lescott and senderos are 34 and 31 respectively and still got mileage left on their biological clock, these ages are not a great concern where centre halfs are concerned mate, both lescott and senderos would cruise it in scottish football imo, good signings!



19 Aug 2016 08:56:20
I really don't get these people who are not excited by the Lescott signing. Do you guys even watch football? Seriously tho, jumping on the bandwagon with a pocket full of stats. Actually watch some matches. Remi Garde, last seasons Aston Villa manager actually came out and hailed Lescott as one of the better players in that team. From what I seen I agree.



19 Aug 2016 12:44:35
For me, Lescott was disgraceful last season.

Bearing in mind he is a Villa fan, the lack of effort and desire he showed in some games last season was astounding.

If he was like that playing for the club he supported when they were going down what is he going to be like in Scotland playing for a team that he has no particular emotional attachment to?

I think Senderos will be a good signing if it happens. Good pedigree and has played at the top over a sustained period.



18 Aug 2016 23:20:01
Lescott has agreed and will join within 24 hrs according to sun online.



18 Aug 2016 23:06:42
Don't want to be to negative I know we have just signed 9 new players and 2 more on the way hopefully just hope we can jell quickly as that mob look a far better team than the one we played in the semi final in warbs we trust warp.



19 Aug 2016 09:01:28
Undoubtedly, the TAT (tan and teeth) has done a good job over at castle grey skull. Worryingly good. It's almost a different side with 3 players brought in. All we can do is worry about what we are doing and hope they crumble under the pressures of champions league and the prospect of 6inarow.



18 Aug 2016 18:21:27
al put ma left bol***k on the garner deal going t**s up! somethn no right about this.



18 Aug 2016 18:53:44
He will be here for the start of next week.



18 Aug 2016 19:20:28
Chap the full set af waggy, yer nickname should be XRay, mmmmm cause you are always negative.



18 Aug 2016 20:44:46
BBC saying that garner will be n the bench on Saturday.



18 Aug 2016 21:11:52
Think uve lost yer left testacle then mate.



18 Aug 2016 22:02:25
Waggy, I hope you are right.
I really don't rate this guy and think it is a waste of ยฃ1.7 mil.



18 Aug 2016 22:02:51
Medical tommorow chief.



18 Aug 2016 22:44:57
Waggy has only got one Ball!
Lmao.



18 Aug 2016 22:54:28
Have to say i'm loving the way the Gers are going about their business, our friends on the east end cannot take it. apart from assembling a very strong football team i'm loving the worrying looks from the compliant media.



18 Aug 2016 23:32:37
For those slating Garner signing have def not done their homework, the lad will be fine and good addition .
For those saying we won't win the league this season let's just wait and see .
We will have ten / eleven new signings this season, if these guys can gel quickly I personally can't see us finishing any less than second .
If we can win it this season then MW and the club would in my mind give us the best league title ever ( including helicopter sun ) .
To be out the SPL so long they "should be out of sight, and we also have the retail revenue loss to put up with,
so this in my eyes would beat the lot.



18 Aug 2016 18:13:55
What ever happened to us wanting the boy Knox from livi?



18 Aug 2016 22:32:12
Looks like your losing your left testicle waggy.



18 Aug 2016 17:43:59
Right I'm a wee bit concerned with the handling of this Garner contract. So now the deal won't be rubber stamped until next week due to a "change of adviser".

Doesn't seem too bad. Unless you factor in that a poster on here said that MW daughter was his adviser and actually approached Rangers to make the deal.

Is it coincidence that MW hasn't dipped into the transfer funds until now? His daughter would obviously receive a handsome fee for arranging the deal.

But then all of a sudden there's a change of adviser as if there's something fishy going on. Haven't seen or noticed this happen with many transfers before.

Garner is a great player so I'm happy that he's coming but would hope it's all above board with no shenanigans.

Prob nothing tho hahahha.



18 Aug 2016 19:21:16
What hollows ( waggy S got spares, lol)



18 Aug 2016 19:22:14
What bolloks ( waggys got spares, )



18 Aug 2016 19:34:03
MW Daughter was not the advisor but the assistant to the players requests. She was approached by advisor re PNE's desires. Reportedly. Perhaps that creates or notes a problem.



18 Aug 2016 22:07:46
Sorry Stuzo, first answers only. Hollows it is. Better luck next time.

WeAreRangers, knew she was involved. Hopefully it's innocent and there's nothing more to it. Can't see MW risking reputation on it tbh. Just got hefty para is all.



18 Aug 2016 16:51:53
My job. Involves delivering drinks for vending machines. Sweets. As well. Any how this is. Nothing big. Except another gers fan. One of the jobs today was. Delivering to a recording studio. In Scotland what a surprise I got when Amy McDonald came out and said hello. Was putting stuff in machine. And she asked me about my phone cause I have a rangers cover on it I said its my team we got chatting for a bit all about the gers she's a gers fan big time turns out she had. Leanne from little mix in the studio turns out they went to ibrox. After some down time from studio and had a bit of lunch both of them had shoping bags. From RFC store. looks like we have another gers fan. Shows you the pull that the mighty Glasgow Rangers have. World wide simply the best is spot on. I also said Stan colly bore. As I call him was a right tit I said good for you giving it back. She was laughing having a good chuckle Just thought I would post this for the fans.



18 Aug 2016 16:56:40
That's an afternoon for the bank!



18 Aug 2016 17:14:37
What. A load of. Nonsense.



18 Aug 2016 17:12:59
Lol **** bank. like it lmao.



18 Aug 2016 17:38:11
Amy MacD is paraded around ibrox and sings every so often and has been since she's been famousy. She's engaged to Ricky Foster. So not news there. I don't have Scoobie dodoo who the other bit is.



18 Aug 2016 17:53:35
Fยฃ&k Rod Stewart, Billy Connoly and Oasis we've got some burd from little mix๐Ÿ˜‚.



18 Aug 2016 18:38:07
Possibly the biggest load of bull dust Iv read on this site.



18 Aug 2016 19:13:05
Hahahah bull dust.



18 Aug 2016 20:00:31
I guess we await the Penny Arcade cover they were recording as proof of this wholey reliable story โ˜บ.



18 Aug 2016 20:22:57
Amy MacDonald is a massive Gers fan, engaged to Ricky Foster, loves cars and her fave performance ever was at half time in a Bayern Munich game at the etihad. I know that from watching top gear and following her on twitter. Not quite the glamour of vendies.



19 Aug 2016 01:53:52
Ricky Fosters a willy, seen him at the al pacino gig, he made a right A**e of himself, Amy Mcdonald was affronted.



18 Aug 2016 16:13:45
I think Lescott or Senderos will be brill signings either one or both I remember how good a player Wilson was when he had Weir next to him guiding him earned him his move to Liverpool and at that time was looked at as one of the best young center half's in Britain. so hopefully one of these guys can get him back to that sort form.



18 Aug 2016 17:00:19
The hat said he's very impressed with Phillipe but also that we want four CD's. I guess this means he won't get a deal but I'd take him for sure.



18 Aug 2016 17:57:50
I think people forget Wilson only played a handful of times with Weir and it was a piss poor selick team we wer up against so don't think we should harp on to much abt that tbh.



18 Aug 2016 18:08:56
makes sense to take Senders if he is fit as well as Lescott. Hill isn't likely to feature unless in an emergency!



18 Aug 2016 20:15:33
Yeah maybe He's now having 2nd thoughts about Hill may have just dropped off a wee bit more than he expected. Probably better in a coaching role anyway.



18 Aug 2016 16:04:07
Decree, sir, any comments on challange cup non defence.



18 Aug 2016 17:03:38
Was under the impression rangers colts were being promoted the other day as what. BRILLIANT. What changed so quickly. Beaten by brickies, butchers, postmen and students. Lol.



18 Aug 2016 15:01:20
we will sign lescott and ranger this week---------------sanderos plums.



18 Aug 2016 15:22:23
Ranger no chance!



18 Aug 2016 15:38:54
you do know I mean joe ranger ----.



18 Aug 2016 16:28:53
Who is joe ranger?



18 Aug 2016 16:42:49
Oh okay๐Ÿ˜‚.



18 Aug 2016 17:00:17
I thought you meant Niall Ranger no idea who joe ranger is.



18 Aug 2016 17:10:00
get up wi the programme superally-----.



18 Aug 2016 18:49:44
Feck me Ally. Refer to my previous post, with a name like Garner he was destined to become a Ranger!

It's all there, in that sentence.



18 Aug 2016 14:03:53
My mate works Glasgow Airport. Lescott flying in at 5.50 tonight.



18 Aug 2016 14:42:28
๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™ˆ
No chance you got inside info unless its from somebody traveling with him, wouldn't be worth the persons job giving out info on passengers but i do think he'll get signed tonight or tom morn so it could just be a good guess so fair play, i reckon he'll grab an indian at the taj mahal then a bottle of md 20/ 20 at the co op.



18 Aug 2016 15:09:56
Stmonkey I have it on good authority from a worker of Menzies that in fact its buckfast he's craving.



18 Aug 2016 15:17:03
He'll probably have to stop for petrol too, never know someone might bump into him!



18 Aug 2016 15:57:50
The guy is well known to frequent the petrol station next to ibrox! they do a cracking microwave tikka masala apparently.



18 Aug 2016 17:54:40
Aye u can aw tak the man wee but the stuzler is spot on, pumps 2u aw, lol.



18 Aug 2016 23:04:49
Most people who say "will appear for a medical tomorrow" just say it so if there right they can pretend the knew the first time around. There was no "mw is flying out to speak to lescott at 5pm" cause no one had any idea it was happening. There are only 2 or 3 people on here who could give any kind of inside information and this guy isn't one of them.



18 Aug 2016 10:55:47
First time poster, I really like the shape of the team and the style of football we are playing. I think most teams will struggle against us. I also think Lescott, Garner and Senderos will be great additions to the team. and Give the Hat more headaches over team selection and give us good strength in depth. I also think he will go into the loan market for additional cover. I will support the team as I have done though the bad times and the good and think we will push for 55. Come on the Gers.



18 Aug 2016 12:17:21
I am a rangers man through and through and always think we will win .
this year I don't think will be our year as we I fear the other mob have had three quality signings that has changed their team and given that wee forrest a ne lease of life.
I do think we will push them but I think before we get ahead of ourselves we need a settled back four and a first choice striker in form to have a chance of winning. none of which we have.
yes I know its early in the season and that will come but we need it to happen withing the next two weeks before we play that lot which by lasts nights performance they look really on their game and to beat them playing like that we will not only have to control the middle of the park so we can get chances but we will have to defend better than we have over the last year. I hate them and hate it even more that they are playing a lot lot lot better than they did under diala booze.



18 Aug 2016 12:19:05
Agree with everything you say mate, But it won't be lescott and senderos, it'll only be the one of them,



18 Aug 2016 12:30:13
How do u know that?



18 Aug 2016 13:06:38
the reason I believe we have a chance is because celtic think they are better than what they are, the coaching staff fans and players all believe they are a great unbeatable team. our manager will keep the players level headed.



18 Aug 2016 13:30:23
I agree James, I said after they got Rodgers that Celtic will have a massive improvement even with they players they still had, but they have added 3 quality players, and now that they have nearly qualified for the c, l, that's another 20mill in their bank, it's going to be hard to win this league but hopefully we can do it.



18 Aug 2016 14:44:22
Delboy very sensibly put totally agree with your comment mate, itll be hard but plenty of time.



18 Aug 2016 15:11:52
They still look culpable at the back and in Gordon they have a keeper who is past it.



18 Aug 2016 15:58:53
aye but they've just signed that young keeper de vries!



18 Aug 2016 18:16:47
Would rather had lescott and senderos rather than clint hill like.



18 Aug 2016 22:26:34
Once all the transfer business is sorted we've got to find our best pairing for central defense and play them regular to get a good understanding with each other and the keeper, only then will we be solid at the back and I think we will win the league, we have ano abundance of riches no All over the park, the good times r back.



18 Aug 2016 22:58:20
I have a feeling it will be Lescott or Senderos and not both but hope i'm wrong.



18 Aug 2016 23:14:43
I think it is too early to think about challenging celtic, they have strengthened and will probably continue to do so assuming they finish the job and qualify for the group stages. I just think pound for pound they are stronger than us. We just need to make sure we don't slip up against the likes of hearts and aberdeen and finish second and build from there.



18 Aug 2016 23:22:14
I would imagine that MW would want Senderos and Lescott - it certainly seems like that.

IMO - I think that with the signings that have (are) come (ing) about, especially the experienced ones, means that MW is pushing to win the league at the first attempt. I have no doubt that this is the main selling point to the incumbents, not wages, and in saying that I do hope that he can also persuade Marriappa.



18 Aug 2016 07:17:57
Bang on couldn't have said it better. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป.



18 Aug 2016 00:46:22
Sick to death of the same people on here slating the team time and time again it unreal you think the way the defence is slated that we didn't win the league last year. Yes this season is a step up but give the team a chance 48 competitive games play 41 goals conceded working out to 0.85 conceded a game. Rob kiernan getting slated on here constantly too he can't be that bad or MW wouldn't have him near the team let alone have made him captain the other week. Tav can't defend either sick hearing people say that and cash in on him. Why? Then when he's banging goals in its aw how great a player is he now make your minds up honestly. Kiernan and Wilson may get exposed because tav and Wallace bomb up and leave them slightly exposed at times but that's our style of football we attack and attack and attack. Would be a different story if we were playing shite football and getting beat but we aren't just wish some fans would just get behind this talented you squad and unite for the cause which is getting our amazing club back to where we belong.



18 Aug 2016 05:49:40
Great post. Completely agree.



18 Aug 2016 06:28:47
Agree with some of your post apart from Kiernan and Wilson get exposed because fullbacks bomb forward . they get exposed because their not good defenders that's why we're trying to get centre like lescott maybe sendeross in.



18 Aug 2016 06:55:59
how are they not good defenders? did it happen overnight? Wilson certainly wasn't a bad defender when hearts skelped us and hibs to the championship. since wallace signed he's barely made a tackle and yet he's treated like a God.



18 Aug 2016 08:09:23
Sorry mate you must be deluded if u think they 2 together are the answer one of them with decent centre half. wallace is a bit suspect defending sometime maybe be better with decent centre half and covering midfield player. Their suspect with crosses can't win hardly anything in air good on deck. first time I seen Rangers score from a corner in ages clint hill scored 2 because they usually play it short no presence direct from corners.



18 Aug 2016 08:37:41
Wallace is had made some superb tackles. DW and RK are good defenders. The OP obviously knows football and watches every game very closely like I do. The CHs are exposed due to Tav and Wallace bombing forward. They move to cover and it stretches them. Tav leaves them more exposed than Wallace probably because other teams use this flank to counter as they would rather have Tav tracking them than Wallace. However, I do feel Tav does lack defensively. His major problem is not knowing when to bomb forward. I have seen him many times in a game bombing forward on to lost causes and loose passes. But he is improving. Give him out support and let's see how he gets on.



18 Aug 2016 09:23:15
Cee- nail on head there mate. It is beyond obvious that it is the wingbacks who leave us short which was why we so desperately needed an experienced CDM who could cover their runs up the field. Personally I don't see how in 7 games we have conceded 2 goals and that makes Kiernan/ Wilson or Hill for the matter, bad defenders. We play the same set up ad Spurs and Munich. They only reason they aren't caught as often as us on the counter is they have 2 world class sweeper keepers behind them!



18 Aug 2016 10:06:56
Kiernan is a poor defender and it's not just his defending that's poor his distribution is poor also. stokes first goal in the Scottish cup final was an example of just how poor Kiernan is. Almost everyone on here recognises the need for another centre half and that's because the Kiernan/ Wilson partnership doesn't work. I don't see anything wrong with coming on sites like this and putting your opinion across and if the original poster is sick to death of it then don't come on the site. All fans and every team criticise their players and as long as it's not personal abuse I don't see an issue with it.



18 Aug 2016 10:47:32
Biffo - The example you use is perfect for our conversation - Because Kiernan was only caught out as he was filling in at RB because someone was posted missing. Tavs was nowhere to be seen when Stokes cut in from the left flank. You have invariably proved the OP's point to be correct.



18 Aug 2016 11:14:52
I think what we have to remember is that Warbs wants to play a certain style of football. That style of football is going to leak goals, simple. For me that's the issue, Warbs only knows how to play one way and there is no plan B. Certainly that's how it looks we will have to wait and see. I think we have to realise that we will be extremely lucky to finish top 3. If that's the case then great and only at the end of the season can we make judgement. I have concerns however I'm just glad we are where we are and we should all enjoy that. Let's never forget where we were and who put us there. Rangers and the fans have a chance to put the wrongs right.



18 Aug 2016 11:17:00
Tav didn't cover himself in glory that day BUT kiernan backed off him until he got to the 6 yard box which is unforgivable in that situation. also think big wes could have done better for that goal aswell so it was a combination of errors imo.



18 Aug 2016 12:25:22
look danny Wilson has the potential to be a top defender and rob Kiernan has made a few howlers I've been really negative about them but in honesty it maybe the style of play and the freedom of the fullbacks that has left them exposed but with the step up I believe either one of them could play well with sum1 else (lescott for me isn't the answer but I hope i'm wrong) .
but cee u said Wallace hasn't made a challenge since he signed for us just go away mate he is our leader puts everything into the game and is our captain and leads by example aswell as being the best left back in the country!

some people on here don't have a clue what they are talking about!



18 Aug 2016 13:08:19
at the end of the day they are both still young men kiernan hasn't played a lot of games in his career let's just support them and I am sure both will improve as the season goes on.



18 Aug 2016 14:34:52
Biffo316 why should I stop coming on the site because I said I'm sick seeing so called fans slating our players. Yes people have they're opinions but very little back it up with any footballing facts they are just looking for a scapegoat and right now it's kiernan.



18 Aug 2016 14:43:00
When you leave your two central defenders exposed at the back they are going to look bad- even Godin at atleti can get exposed when left one on one, they just don't let that happen too often.



18 Aug 2016 15:55:41
Teddyofthesouth

You mis understand the point I make about the Stokes goal. Kiernan made no attempt to tackle him and let him run in on goal. I agree Tavernier was posted missing however what kind of defender allows the striker to run in on goal unchallenged? I remember playing football as a 5 year old and being told to tackle your opponent. It's the most basic part of defending yet Kiernan failed to do it.



18 Aug 2016 15:58:51
Johnmac

Sorry but I don't think Kiernan is the answer as a defender and quite a lot of people share that view. As I said before he isn't great in the tackle, not dominant in the air and has poor distribution. If we are going to challenge for the league we need much better than him.



18 Aug 2016 16:24:46
A lot of people on here refer to only one or two high profile matches from last year when discrediting DW or RK. I wonder if they've seen any other matches? ๐Ÿ˜.



18 Aug 2016 18:29:17
Bilbo

Ok I will put it another way. The season before Kiernan and Wilson arrived we had Moshni and McCulloch as our centre halves. Both were slaughtered for their performances with Moshni considered a joke and McCulloch booed. Last season we conceded only 5 goals less in the league than the season previous and we didn't have to contend with a strong Hearts team last season. Now to me that suggests that the defence isn't good enough and changes need to be made especially at centre back.



18 Aug 2016 19:20:38
Like you said, we had different teams to contend with so can't really compare IMO. It would've been a lot more than five if it wasn't for the poor run towards the end of the season and everyone in the team was to blame for that. Also we had won the league so the foot came off the gas. Plus there's style of play etc. A lot of variables there so I don't think we can compare the two.
