Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


18 Jul 2020 23:00:25
I thought Barjonas when he came on was excellent. hungry, quick and focused. I'm very happy with all the players over the last 3 days, showed grit and determination. Well done the Glasgow Rangers 🇬🇧.



18 Jul 2020 23:56:21
I was very impressed with barjonas. I hope he gets his chance👍.



19 Jul 2020 00:36:53
Yip Agreed but Edmunson can pass to save himself lol.
We need anothef striker. Different option.



19 Jul 2020 08:13:48
An excellent start to our season. The momentum will build from this tournament, especially with our performances against strong opposition. Too strong for a lesser Scottish league, so let's hope this is the first step on a great season for us.
It is on the football pitch that we should do the talking, and the start of the conversation sounds good to me.



19 Jul 2020 08:36:25
He was blue sea but think he needs games to prove he can make grade, a good loan move for him could help.



19 Jul 2020 10:57:35
Reports saying he is going on loan I think the teams mentioned ayr, Boston and Orange County.

So no doubt coldo will have something to moan about as it looks like he ain’t getting his chance with us this year 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.



19 Jul 2020 13:14:34
Barjonas excellent for four minutes plus injury time.



19 Jul 2020 18:24:44
Ayr treated stephen kelly well last year, I'd be tempted to get him there 👍.



18 Jul 2020 22:39:44
All this "It was only a friendly meaningless trophy" is rubbish
Do you guys honestly think all teams went there thinking "I don't want to win this"? Footballers at every level in every competition want to win full stop, the two teams we played were full of quality throughout and we deserved the trophy in the end, I'm happy with this as it could very well serve as a morale boost and give our players the taste of winning, they all look hungry and eager to impress for the season starting, add in the prospect of potential new signings resulting in competition for places meaning upping of game from our players, I don't know but I just have a funny feeling bears.



18 Jul 2020 22:53:28
Its not and will never be a meaningful trophy. Its a friendly tournament. So if that's the only trophy we win this season will you say that the season was a success because we won two friendlies in july. My god😳👍.



18 Jul 2020 23:25:03
If everybody took it seriously we would have the youth on. And Nice wouldn't have started with 2 17year olds in forward like. It has been a great run out for the squad. that's it.



18 Jul 2020 23:26:54
But he's not saying that coldo. This could be the very morale boost we needed to take us to the next level. I believe it could be that monkey off our back as the serial losers we are painted as. It was a good test for us and a good work out for our first team and other fringe players.
I don't think any of us will be happy if that is all we win, but for now let's just enjoy it.



18 Jul 2020 23:30:11
My god coldo no one is saying it was the World Cup but we won against top class opposition who are champion league class . would you rather we lost? My god man the team looked great and you are dissing.



19 Jul 2020 00:06:48
i don't think he said that. i thought it was more fight for game, fight for place. which would augurs well for this season.



19 Jul 2020 02:29:06
Nope I would never say that and haven't even suggested that's what I meant.



19 Jul 2020 13:16:40
Paul 86 age does not matter
Lyon started with a 16 year old. Valued at 20 million
We don’t have academy players valued at 500 k.



18 Jul 2020 20:42:12
Coldo, Aribo was the best player on the pitch, very direct winning the ball didn't give it away once, Kent was hot and cold but dangerous, Haji just cold. Our play did no get better when Davis and Arfield came on I would argue we dropped a level when Jack went off, Davis slowed our tempo down to much. Not often I disagree with you on so many points mate.



18 Jul 2020 21:03:21
I must admit i thought joe aribo had an excellent game against nice.



18 Jul 2020 21:07:14
Nonsense TJBB, aribo should be nowhere near the team👍.



18 Jul 2020 21:41:27
Are you pretending to be timalloy Coldo?

Get rid of you bias - Your boy Kent should have been no where near our team for most of last season but you went quiet rather than call him out.

Same with Katic.



18 Jul 2020 21:47:47
The coldo thumb is up so Aribo must have been poor can't comment didn't see the game👍.



18 Jul 2020 21:49:20
Coldo don’t know what game you’re watching! Absolute nonsense saying he should be nowhere team
Virtually every report has him as one of our best performers comes across as personal with you ref Aribo.



18 Jul 2020 21:55:36
Hes behind Arfield Jack and Hagi in my opinion but he's my 1st choice to walk into the squad to replace one of them.



18 Jul 2020 21:55:40
Coldo thank the lord you ain’t the manager because you haven’t got a clue kid!



18 Jul 2020 22:11:18
I have no appetite for arguments over our team gets us nowhere and we all fall out. i'm no great fan of Aribo as per plenty of previous posts however I give credit where it is due, he had great game there is no doubt, everything I've been critical about him he addressed in that game both commentators raved about him and is picking up great reviews on the media. Your appraisal was the exact opposite apart from Dafoe, of what I watched, just don't understand it mate. What worried me most was the second half where we started to make mistakes in very dangerous areas, we've had enough lessons from last season that should be long gone from our game. Hopefully Aribo will have a Borna 2nd season, let's not give up on our players. Jack on form is our key player.



18 Jul 2020 22:13:35
Aribo haven excellent both games.



18 Jul 2020 22:34:59
Thought Aribo was superb tonight as was Jack, and Kamara did ok too.



18 Jul 2020 22:35:24
It’s good to see so many of us actually saying what Gerrard has said all along, give Aribo a chance, there’s definitely a player there!
I was really impressed with the calmness and passing out of tight areas. Good lesson though for the fridge that sometimes it’s row Z. It’s actually really promising that our strongest 11 must look pretty decent and we still haven’t added to that first 11 yet. Onwards and upwards.



18 Jul 2020 22:55:02
Aribo is rotten👍.



18 Jul 2020 23:08:01
It’s been a good training tournament and seeing a lot of players given a chance for the season ahead, but what stood out for me was the tap ins that we missed that’s the difference between getting a 2-1 and a draw.
I was very impressed with the shouts from the bench where they thought the player should be to defend the goals.



18 Jul 2020 23:33:26
Coldo, ou think aribo is pants? Your definitely at the wind up . at the time of a few good results quite sad really.



19 Jul 2020 01:55:29
Joe Aribo will star for us this coming season.



19 Jul 2020 07:33:34
DK19, coldo IS a tim.



19 Jul 2020 07:42:34
I didn't see the game but i'm delighted to see so many of you give Aribo a positive mention. i'm a big fan and can see the ability the boy has. Last season you could see the class he has with some of the hoals he scored and created but I admit he was a bit inconsistent. He will be a key player for us this season.



19 Jul 2020 07:57:53
Thought Aribo played very well both games. Must admit I do think he is an excellent player. But then what fo I and Stevie G know? 👍.



19 Jul 2020 08:52:18
For me, thought everyone who participated looked at a decent level given it's pre-season. Stand out-Aribo. Jury's out-Hagi and Brassey.



19 Jul 2020 09:27:12
We will rue the day Stevie spent so much on hagi, and Kent, mark my words.



19 Jul 2020 09:30:12
Agree with most on here about Aribo, thought he was excellent both games and I think he will kick on now this season.



19 Jul 2020 14:01:01
Penrith bear. Aribo was that bad he got mom. Coldo just picks a couple of targets then berates them no matter what.



18 Jul 2020 20:26:10
Nice to see some hungry young players get a chance, keep working hard lads and the chances will come then prove yourselves and earn good contracts 👍.



18 Jul 2020 19:56:02
Our first trophy with SG, let's build on it, and, before it's belittled as a Pre Season Friendly workout, we were playing quality opposition in their own backyard. Terrific guys, onwards and upwards.



18 Jul 2020 20:22:18
You can't count that as a trophy mate, it was meaningless friendlies. 🙈👍.



18 Jul 2020 20:23:18
Agree. An enjoyable night, a few beers watching on and some very decent football. What's not to like?



18 Jul 2020 20:32:38
Great results and performances as well as looking very fit irvger like someone else said on earlier post just need to cut out silly mistakes against hamilton etc because wee have pretty much destroyed the other lot apart from 2 games in past 18 months.



18 Jul 2020 20:55:20
I guess you would have rather seen celtic take that trophy home coldo lol.



18 Jul 2020 21:07:06
When you are rangers you're there to win in anything you take part in, so a very well done to the rangers.
When you play in these friendly tournaments, friendlies or not you want to win and we've done that and won the veolia tournament. So i for one am very pleased and a lot of positives to take this early! 👍.



18 Jul 2020 21:08:17
Coldo, maybe your right, but I'll tell you this, if Celtic had won it, you would know about it, all I'm saying is this should motivate the lads, and, I don't think I'm alone in this assumption.



18 Jul 2020 21:10:37
That statement is just as bad as the op's deecee👍.



18 Jul 2020 21:24:06
I would Deecee if if was the only trophy they claimed this season.



18 Jul 2020 21:35:24
Coldo if Tim’s won it there would be ads in the papers for watches, bracelets And cuckoo clocks to commemorate it! I’ll take it for what it is, something positive to build on
Bottom line a trophy is given out.



18 Jul 2020 21:42:24
I'm not taking anything away from our games but its hardly going to be on Gerrard's cv is it, that's all am saying irvger. It will never count as a real trophy to build on. 👍.



18 Jul 2020 21:56:49
I don’t often agree with coldo but he is right on this one.



18 Jul 2020 21:57:15
At least it's no a tainted trophy guys.



18 Jul 2020 22:10:00
but you never said coldo . until pressed. be clear. btw i agree with bluebilly and others. it does count. as a lovely day to start.



18 Jul 2020 22:36:33
For god's sake just enjoy we won the tournament and hope it leads on to us winning domestic trophies this coming season. Stick together and let's be happy about winning the veolia tournament! I know/ realise its a friendly tournament but i'm happy we won it just the same. Why do we argue on these things and try to find negatives and put downers on our club even when we win a tournament? 🤔.



18 Jul 2020 23:16:26
Coldo if smeltic had won this I guarantee you would be on here slating our team and everything about it . It’s a trophy for the trophy room from a four team competition of which we won hands Duden against champions league opposition ( no counting smeltic ) plus I’m sure there must have been prize money.



19 Jul 2020 07:26:14
Coldo no meaningless games when u play for rangers.
Your pops at Aribo are tiresome. He got mom against nice.



19 Jul 2020 08:01:25
More about the games and how we played but I'd rather win it than not. Yes?



19 Jul 2020 14:02:40
Exactly seeker. It’s about minutes in legs and being ready for Pittodrie.
I feel some would prefer we had lost both games.



18 Jul 2020 19:27:20
Excellent result - a trophy at last (yes I know it's a friendly competition) but hopefully this will inject some confidence for the season. What frustrates me as likewise everyone else is how we can play so well in beating Lyon, Nice, Porto, Braga, Celtic etc yet drop such stupid points v Hibs, Accies, St Johnstone etc - need to fix that this season.



18 Jul 2020 19:34:05
Thats who we lost the league to last season nit Celtic but all the wee teams we stupidly dropped points against.



18 Jul 2020 19:43:41
Did not see game, how did Bassey and Murphy play?



18 Jul 2020 19:43:55
agreed sir. good wins with great system but concerned about lack of vision, no cross field ball from the midfield, passing out from the fridge disappointing and kamara doesn't like kicking the ball hard? hoping early game fever and looking forward to be proven wrong!



18 Jul 2020 19:50:00
Agreed SirStruth. We were bullied by some teams last season and did not have an answer. Promising performances tonight. Edmundson, s passing needs to improve. Kent played well. All in all, not bad for this stage of the season.



18 Jul 2020 19:57:07
bankie i thought murphy played well apart from not lifting his head for one opp. bassey plays to tight in. invites the winger to get the ball. confident in his pace. hope that doesn't get exploited later.



18 Jul 2020 20:02:36
Edmundson passing ain’t as bad as katic gus.



18 Jul 2020 20:14:02
Bankie Bassey played well, look better than Wednesday. Spell at left back then ch.
Murphy worked hard missed a snip.
I felt Kent best player on the park, another assist and to be fair goldston played well.



18 Jul 2020 20:22:36
Thought good win. 👏 positive performances from Kent jack, goldson, Aribo, Defoe and the young guys coming on. Fridge wee bit slack today but will learn. Onwards and upwards 👍.



18 Jul 2020 20:26:22
Thanks guys.



18 Jul 2020 20:28:08
Bankie meant Thursday mate.



18 Jul 2020 20:34:09
I think both CBs were poor on the ball but great defensively.



18 Jul 2020 21:08:39
I agree John25, i thought ryan kent and joe aribo were the best players on the park 👌.



18 Jul 2020 21:11:04
Sir Struth, spot on my friend, I got so angry last season at the ineptitude of our squad, I really hope the penny has dropped, we showed far too much respect to these other teams, a bit of arrogance like they have wouldn't go amiss.



18 Jul 2020 21:58:09
SGL Kent must have had some 2nd half because he didn’t do much in the 1st half.



18 Jul 2020 22:41:09
KJA9, are you telling me ryan kent didn't play well? 🤔If you are find a new sport because you don't have a scooby doo pal and that's me being polite! I would like to put it another away but i can't on here.
You're not real pal, you can't be!



19 Jul 2020 08:47:57
After reading some of the negativity about this tournament, maybe we would have been better off getting skelped in both games eh!, as it doesn't count, then along comes Aberdeen, and we lose 3 points there too as we have no confidence, but hey, that's okay. As SGL said, every game is a must win at Rangers FC.



19 Jul 2020 09:26:03
Its the refs that cause us to drop points with silly decision making Inconsistent refereeing in Scotland is the problem! I do reckon the SFA board also needs replaced Its corrupt to the core!



19 Jul 2020 10:59:17
SGL = Coldo.



18 Jul 2020 19:13:14
Managed to catch most the game tonight

Good result and everyone through without any worries

Murphy I think can play a part for us

Edmundson not sure we can rely on him being a main central defender we definitely need someone else in the door but more experience needed

Barjonas comes back into team late 2nd half after couple season not really being seen and scores late in game Which would do his confidence good

We definitely need another striker whether we keep morales and Defoe and Stewart

Kent worried about him and his £7 million price tag?

Not doing much for me before lockdown 2nd half of year and tonight

Bassey I like the look of

If we get Zunga could be the key to unlock right defences tonight again to much passing back even when the lads was on for through ball they opted to play back
That annoys me
Thread it through and believe in your own talent
Passing back is very negative like I say especially when the through ball is on and would like to see more through balls

But it's another win under the belt

Think we need one or quality players in to add to the team and we should be sorted for new season 😊.



18 Jul 2020 19:22:12
First of all, well done Rangers. Some are not going to like this but we kept an eye on Tav tonight. Would like to know your honest opinion. What I saw is, he slowed the game down and struggles to pass to someone in a blue shirt. His final ball is shocking, he defensively seems to be out of position and is certainly not a Rangers captain. Gerrard needs to grow a pair and address this, instead of sticking by his favourites.



18 Jul 2020 19:25:07
Kent was great tonight. We looked much better when arfield and davis came on. Aribo far too slow not direct enough. Very impressed with barjonas and patterson. Morelos does look overweight and lacks sharpness. Defoe model pro. 👍.



18 Jul 2020 19:27:49
Cant take to aribo don't no why tho.



18 Jul 2020 19:29:28
The first of a run of trophies i hope. A very well done to rangers for winning the tournament, friendlies or not you take part to win everything at rangers! Four goals scored, none conceded against decent opposition in lyon and nice 👍.



18 Jul 2020 19:30:58
Edmondson was definitely ropey tonight, not sure he can be trusted. Agree too many times we are looking to pass the ball sideways when there is a forward pass on. That just allows the opposition time to defend. Need to move the ball forward quicker, and yes that requires confidence in ones own ability to make the passes, but if you cant, what are you doing playing at this level. Famous quote from Jock Stein " son if you can't pass the ball you are no use to me".



18 Jul 2020 19:35:44
Aribo is a CAM / CF played as a CM or RW.



18 Jul 2020 19:42:21
I thought Aribo was decent tonight and I thought Kent looked like he was going to make something happen when he got on ball.



18 Jul 2020 19:47:32
Can't really understand all the criticism of our players after another 2-0 albeit friendly win🤔.



18 Jul 2020 19:47:06
finally get the opp to agree with coldo. good win. hope barjonas (someone) can provide cross field balls from the midfield and get up in support like that.



18 Jul 2020 19:53:37
Kent was duff wat game did u watch.



18 Jul 2020 20:11:19
It’s constructive criticism mrgrumpy 😊

Just saying what I see in front of me

If you like me want to win the league this coming season then surely you agree wee need a couple quality players in to bolster our chances.?

In my Honest opinion the same group of players from last year are not going to win this league without some extra help And that help will need to have a bit of quality to get us 55

It’s not negative it’s saying it how it is 😊.



18 Jul 2020 20:17:06
Aribo was excellent I thought 👍.



18 Jul 2020 20:23:04
I'm with you Dsgersfan I can't take to aribio either.



18 Jul 2020 20:45:15
Of course we need a few players in, don't know many how would suggest otherwise.
It's just we've played 2 games against decent teams and beat them and all I am seeing is criticism of various players, Tav, the fridge, kamara, Kent (from some) aribo, Morelos.
Think there's lots to be positive about this season, especially with a few more signings.



18 Jul 2020 21:13:42
You can't take to aribo? Get behind the players! Thought aribo was good against nice! I just don't get some people at times. What do you's want? Two wins won the tournament and a helluva lot of positives, give credit and be happy instead of this negativity all the time! Some on here will just never be happy, no matter what!



18 Jul 2020 21:13:45
SGL, we sing from the same hymn sheet my friend, I didn't take any negatives from this tournament, and, we stopped them winning it, because they would have loved rubbing it in.



18 Jul 2020 21:16:02
DSGERSFAN, kent was guff you said?
OMG what are you watching?
Take up watching ice skating or something, honestly?



18 Jul 2020 21:37:57
Usual lot on here wetting themselves to tell us all about the negatives.

Two wins, 4 goals and a trophy but we have to share our opinions about how poor some of our players are - pathetic!

Friendly tournament but necessary for our preparations. No settled team and a few still rusty but overall excellent.

Aribo did well, Kent in and out (sorry Coldo), back 4 solid.

Try posting criticism of our players on the Celtic pages and put everything you have behind our team, manager and club.



18 Jul 2020 21:45:56
I can't take to aribo either, far too slow, looks like bambi on ice. Barjonas looked very good, very direct and can finish. I hope the boy gets a chance. 👍.



19 Jul 2020 00:19:42
It’s the usual lot telling it how we see it 🧐

No real silverware in years and not and cannot get carried away once again in pre season!

Great couple results get players warmed up and getting them match fit
But we need some more quality to put in a real sustainable challenge this coming season
Once we know who’s been signed and possibly who’s left we can then get better picture of what we hope we can achieve guys.



19 Jul 2020 05:37:16
SG LOYAL do u honstly think kent had a game of a 7mill player maybe u should watch snooker man.



19 Jul 2020 07:30:12
Coldo have you looked at Aribo running stats fifth fastest at rangers in first team squad according to beavers.
I’ve said before he is deceptive re pace. Watch how he closes the space.



19 Jul 2020 09:27:21
Both Kent and Aribo had a good game Hagi was good Edmundson great yet again.



19 Jul 2020 11:07:50
Come on guys . The whole team played great . look like a team who have been together for a few seasons . committed and fought hard fir each other right up to the final whistle . Easily the best team in the tournament overall . including squad players . looked very dangerous in attack . Think done if you are getting us mixed up with Barcelona or real.



18 Jul 2020 19:10:47
How did the 2nd half go guys as I missed it as I had to get dinner for the wean?



18 Jul 2020 19:41:10
Plenty of positives. Aribo looked every bit a Rangers left midfielder we need 9/ 10. Jack solid 9/ 10. The rest of the team decent however Haji worryingly looking for the extra second on the ball and couldn't find his way into the game, he needs work. Edmuson looking solid enough but needs to eliminate the basic errors in very dangerous positions. We also nearly got caught on the edge of our box pissing around when we should have just cleared our lines. Paterson for the time he was on was composed. I have a feeling Barjo will play a part this season, silky smooth player with an eye for goal.



18 Jul 2020 19:51:12
a bit more torrid than it should kj. fridge had trouble passing all day. we need vision and cross field passing from the midfield like they had. they're best side came out that half. patterson and barjonas lively and good finishing from him. unlike one or two colleagues missing one sitter at least. hoping early game newness but system is right players and need to step up.



18 Jul 2020 20:07:42
I saw 1st half edmundson has a error in him I think (against hibs last season) but I like the kid and the more games he plays the better he will get.
I think he will become our best CH (that might come back to haunt me)
Kent for me done nothing in 1st half.
Defoe great goalscorer but does nothing until ball in the box.
Still think we need another striker as I Hope fredo stays but if he goes then we need another 2.
Can only take positives from the tournament.

433 worry’s me against the so called smaller teams but only time will tell.

Thanks for the reply guys.



18 Jul 2020 20:12:41
You missed mcgregor sweeping up every cross commanding his box🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤪👍.



18 Jul 2020 20:29:50
1st time for everything coldo, I see you saw a different game from most others as kent was pash in the 1st half that I saw don’t know what he was like in the 2nd but from the comments he wasn’t great at all.



18 Jul 2020 20:59:19
Most others? Most people think kent had a good game. That will be lack of ability to read again catching you out. 👍 you said he did nothing in the first half? Only a great assist. 🙈👍.



18 Jul 2020 22:00:39
You and SGL don’t count coldo I think you are the same person as both as clueless as each other.
Kent done nothing in 1st half can’t say for 2nd.
Aribo was good in 1st half also.



18 Jul 2020 22:49:17
So one good ball is acceptable for a winger coldo? You constantly slate players that play well and since jan you went quiet on the boy wonder ryan Kent when he was did rotten KID!



19 Jul 2020 09:28:13
McGregor has good competition with McLaughlin Great keeper btw.



18 Jul 2020 19:02:44
Anyone know how far Helander is from playing games, was hoping he was going to be involved.



18 Jul 2020 20:29:11
McAllister said he is fit and will be ready for Aberdeen game if required.



18 Jul 2020 18:14:49
For all those on here who said jermain defoe should have been let go as he's finished honestly don't have a clue. Irrespective if its a friendly or not defoe is a magical finisher full stop. Defoe will contribute a lot again this season and will have a big say on how successful we are this season, even allowing that most of his game time will come from the bench. The best, most natural finisher/ goalscorer in scottish football bar none, even at 37 years old! The wee man is a thoroughbred and still in fantastic shape.
What a role model he is for our younger players!



18 Jul 2020 18:44:08
Who says he should be away? I haven’t seen many of any saying it’s to be honest.



18 Jul 2020 18:58:31
Some finisher, good for games we will get lots of chances in. Great finish tonight, but contributed very little else being honest.



18 Jul 2020 19:09:43
Herewego that’s the only problem with Defoe in the box no one better but ask him to do anything else and it’s a no.
Definitely a great guy to bring of the bench.



18 Jul 2020 19:29:24
Depends how much money he is on, he is a squad player and should be remunerated accordingly - but wouldn’t be surprised if he was one of the top earners.

Agree that he is a great role model for the younger kids to learn from with all aspects of the game.



18 Jul 2020 19:33:02
KJA9,i hope you're not blind and i give you the benefit of the doubt you can read and if its yes to both you must know last week there was a few on here who said defoe wouldn't do. I know because i answered them with the same post i posted earlier there regarding defoe.



18 Jul 2020 19:54:04
i saw him tackle back a couple of times especially just before the goal. it needs more vision from the midfield to create more chances. that's always the challenge. got more space in the 2nd half.



18 Jul 2020 20:09:55
SGL I just can’t recall it, I never said it wasn’t put up here just that I never seen it.
I don’t scroll through and read everything all the time so I do miss somethings.

We still need another striker.



18 Jul 2020 20:18:08
kJ a few last week were moaning about Defoe and wanted him away.



18 Jul 2020 20:30:51
I must have missed them John and don’t know why any rangers fan would say that but some say fredo should go which baffles me 👍.



19 Jul 2020 07:32:30
Our fans are very fickle. Some say Defoe too old and does not contribute enough.



18 Jul 2020 17:56:25
We are being linked with numerous players coming into the club but, do you think any of the current squad will be leaving? Do you think it will be mainly fringe players like Stewart, Jones, Murphy, Docherty, etc or do you see maybe see Morelos, Tav, Kamara, etc being sold for funds?



18 Jul 2020 20:25:19
Steven Gerrard loyal

I’m one of the fans that thinks Defoe be better helping coaching than playing

I don’t think his legs are up to the running that needs done in our games hence that’s why most his chances will come from bench and I also think he’s too light weight and small for our game up here

Great finisher model professional just not a top Rangers striker, we need Big strong and fast finisher if we’re going to win the league this season and also imagine his wages will be a lot more than some

He can’t play upfront himself to much work needs done and I don’t think it’s in him to carry it off mate

Don’t shoot me down 😊 it’s just my own personal feelings on him.



18 Jul 2020 17:49:02
Same 433 formation with a narrow front 3 that failed us in the 2nd half last season.

I know it’s only pre season but is this not the time to be trying different formations?



18 Jul 2020 18:17:04
Or the perfect time to get 433 working like it was first half of last season? 🤔.



18 Jul 2020 18:28:39
It works well against decent teams like these. I'd only change it against bottom 6 teams or to go 2 up if were struggling.



18 Jul 2020 18:45:05
Mr grumpy it works when we play teams that attack us it doesn’t work well when teams sit in as a lot of teams after Xmas learn how to play against it.



18 Jul 2020 19:16:25
The 4-3-3 gerrard uses is excellent, if we’re playing a team On a par with us that fancy their chances it bodes well and I’ve no problem with it when it’s effective etc but I do still think we need that secondary formation and even a 3rd for different types of opponent 🤔 great results in this pre season tournament, well done the bears 🐻👍.



18 Jul 2020 14:17:47
Good to see Greg Stewart get a start today 👍 When he is playing well he's a baller! I would love to see him get back to his best! Always rated him!



18 Jul 2020 15:58:51
He is a baller aye ok then.



18 Jul 2020 16:20:22
Start on the bench 😂.



18 Jul 2020 16:21:48
Where’s Jon McLaughlin tonight.



18 Jul 2020 16:24:14
What the fxxk is a baller ?



18 Jul 2020 16:56:04
Coldo they just keep coming. Greg stewart is a baller. stewart, barker, jones, middleton are nowhere near good enough. Never will be.



18 Jul 2020 17:05:06
Who is he starting for? It's not us.



18 Jul 2020 18:04:21
Paul86 we need more fans like you. Negative like hell. Support the team and players selected. I Grew up with fans raging at players after 5 minutes and hated it.



18 Jul 2020 18:14:20
Pointless signing.



18 Jul 2020 19:27:21
You're a gift Kaz, keep it up mate👍.



18 Jul 2020 20:00:47
I wish I was a little bit tallerrr I wish I was a Ballerrrr? 😀.



18 Jul 2020 13:09:22
After Hulls 8-0 demolition to Wigan i have to say i'm glad we didn't get Reece Burke not 1 player had any fight about them or even looked interested and we need leaders all across the pitch.



18 Jul 2020 15:29:34
He's hopeless that's why West ham told him to bolt.



18 Jul 2020 09:23:30
I don't get why Sheff Utd are happy with signing Foderingham he never looked in control at Ibrox he made a few vital saves for us but he had many shockers also it didn't help Kiernan was playing RCB mind you but never in a million years did i ever think aww i'm so glad Foderingham is our keeper today he was an upgrade on what we had and he got us into the prem but he's defintely a cheap signing and low risk i guess but its a massive drop in class from Henderson to Foddy my misses used to think he was gorgeous but said he had no chance as he wasnt very good with his hands XD.



18 Jul 2020 09:44:52
I though Fods was a very capable keeper who like every keeper made the odd mistake.

Had McGregor been injured he’d have done a solid job.



18 Jul 2020 10:08:12
Regarding our new keeper, to be honest, I didn't know much about him but I have to say he had a great debut on Thur night. He looked very confident and has good presence. Looking forward to today's game.



18 Jul 2020 10:14:12
I think he was a very solid keeper, unfortunately for him he never had a decent central defensive partnership in front of him.

I genuinely thought prior to McGregor coming back up the road that it was between him and Lewis at Aberdeen As to the best keep in the league. Think both those keepers shaded Craig Gordon at the time.



18 Jul 2020 10:19:56
Agreed do, did well for us.



18 Jul 2020 10:25:08
Could never command the box properly.



18 Jul 2020 10:25:23
Descent enough guy but not when it comes to standards in goalkeeping unfortunately. Mind the time he got beaten at his near post, twice in one game. Those are not the skills needed to play at a top level.
I played junior as a keeper and got beaten at my near post once and it was something I was never able to get away from. My abilities would always be questioned because of it.
However, with that said, I wish him all the very best of luck for the future, he is and will always be part of The Rangers family and he stuck by us.
Good luck big man.



18 Jul 2020 10:38:05
The most successfull teams are the ones who don't depend on their keepers.

Most of their keepers are bored wi nothing to do as their team are up the other end scoring goals and his defenders stop the opposition from geting near him, (unlike our defender Tav) .

Now I await our name calling so called support slagging me off again for my opinions.



18 Jul 2020 11:05:13
Blue billy what a stupid comment to make saying top teams keepers have nothing to do. Do you actually watch any games or do you just sit bitch slapped watching Corrie? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m just winding you up mate, I agree with you 100% because every keeper makes mistakes, the good ones just make less. Winning teams have folk like vandyk in defence making sure the keeper is kept quiet.



18 Jul 2020 11:19:29
The GK in the best teams compliments the side in my opinion Billy. Look at Allison or Ederson, they are an outlet for starting attacks and allow the defence to press a higher line and stifle teams. Can kinda see where you are coming from but if they weren't important why do clubs go forking out so much for the top boys?



18 Jul 2020 11:24:45
Ha ha Alloa, yeah I have to watch that dross corrie unless I go upstairs if the footies on at the same time or I can forget any bedtime desires mate.

Another win tonight for us an I'll gladly watch the dross on Monday wi her indoors.

Bring it on Rangers.



18 Jul 2020 11:33:26
Did someone mention Kiernan, had forgotten all about him, feel in need of lie down!



18 Jul 2020 11:52:01
Kiernan, fods 🙈 glad they are all away, never of the standard required. 👍.



18 Jul 2020 11:58:33
Bankie they would have been better with Ford kiernan than rob 🤣.



18 Jul 2020 12:19:42
Bluebilly I am sure you have said in the past that we would never be as successful as smeltic? By your statement of clubs being successful without a busy keeper? League cup final? FF?



18 Jul 2020 12:29:17
Aye FF, the fish supper would be tackled by Ford.



18 Jul 2020 12:40:00
Hi Mols

Dont know where you ever saw me saying we would never be as successfull as timco .

I am a true RANGERS supporter and we were miles better than timco for years till Davie sold us down the river wi his shennanigans.

You have heard me saying this is STEVIE'S last chance for us to be better than them this season, maybe that's where you got the impression mate.



18 Jul 2020 12:56:01
Good luck to foderingham I predict he will be third choice, but hopefully he gets a good pay day in epl.
He was a mare with ball at feet.



18 Jul 2020 16:53:49
Bluebilly, not sure i'm in complete agreement with your opinion on most successful teams don't rely on their keeper. Sir Alex Ferguson once said a good goalie is worth an extra 10 points per season and can't really think of any truly successful team that didn't have a really good goalie who probably bailed them out on more than one occasion in very important games. I will say though that in some SPL games Rangers could put Wurzel Gummage in goals and still win.



18 Jul 2020 17:07:20
Bluebilly

David who?



18 Jul 2020 17:09:37
Successful teams don't need a good keeper? I take it that you are too wee to have seen The Goalie win us 15 points every season?



18 Jul 2020 18:30:12
And stefan klos, der goalie, after him. Both good for at least 10 points a season.



19 Jul 2020 09:22:51
That would be why Man Utd pay they’re keeper over a million a month, must be because the rest of the team are pish,



18 Jul 2020 07:46:36
Media reports state that the French Football Federation won't be reporting Ryan Kent for his red card so he won't miss the opening game against the Sheep. Good news.



18 Jul 2020 09:09:58
Big Peters influence must not stretch that far lol.



18 Jul 2020 09:12:40
But the french have not had the phone call from lawel yet lol.



18 Jul 2020 09:24:41
Doncaster will be waiting on an email to forward to the Compliance Officer but will likely end up in the spam folder.



18 Jul 2020 10:46:35
Dumcaster an Liewell will be up all night searching for a way to get the ban implemented.

Maybe they could try YOU TUBES.



18 Jul 2020 16:00:03
Guys chill, it’s all about Rangers, not names u guys mention, u make them more important than they are.



18 Jul 2020 00:46:11
Followed the forum for a long time but 1st time post so go gentle. I see a lot of posts about Morelos and where we would be without him. He has scored a lot of goals and been a talisman for us, and seen posts linking us with Roofe etc being discounted as they are now a target man. That being said, if Gerard decides to go with Roofe (or the likes there of) who's to say our style of play couldn't evolve. Granted Morelos hold up play can be great, however, with the wingers/ fullbacks we have at our disposal, who's to say we couldn't be more direct in the final third? Our play could evolve to the point that hold up play is not essential to our goals per game ratio. We all know Morelos can be a great goal scorer and link play well, he does however have his downsides, moody, inconsistent, greedy at times not to mention his disciplinary record. If Stevie G decides to go another route for the greater good of the club, I for 1 will back him until proven otherwise. This is not the season to stick with the same and hope for a different outcome. 10 IAR must be stopped, and if that means a change in direction somewhere along the lines then so be it.



18 Jul 2020 02:00:57
How would we be more direct with the exact same wingers and fullbacks and a different striker replacing Morelos? Please elaborate 🤔.



18 Jul 2020 09:13:38
Welcome.



18 Jul 2020 09:25:51
Tactics change to the striker tbh like we wouldn't play high crosses to novo or play through balls for boyd to run onto would we XD.



18 Jul 2020 12:32:46
Bluenosechris, why don’t you give the guy a chance, did you never watch Quiz Ball?



18 Jul 2020 14:06:29
Well I’ve not saw any flaws in Morelos to suggest we need to be restricted in any way when he’s playing 🤔 When Jones gave him a good cross he scored a great header to take us into europa, when Kent gave him a great cross v feyenoord he again scored a great header, Barisic has picked him out and we all know how good the rest his game is, I’d like to see how many goals Morelos could get with some decent service coming from the right flank too, actually the best player I saw on the right flank before hagi gave it a go was Morelos when he drifted in order to launch attacks 😆.
