Does anybody know what date the season tickets go on public sale iv sorted mine but my pal wants one and have been asking me so I told him I will try to find out. If anyone can help would be appreciated 👍.



19 May 2017 08:12:34
Sure I read that public sale begins on June 7th, although if he joins waiting list he will get priority before the public sale.



18 May 2017 22:49:31
Ok multi millionairs who support gers but don't want to invest. could u not buy a player yourself . and lease him through a limited company to gers while gers pay his wages. once u sell him u may make more money dye to increasef sale value. just a thot.



19 May 2017 00:44:18
Third party ownership of players is band by Fifa and the European Parliament.



18 May 2017 22:28:32
Graham dorrans could well sign I heard he would walk to Ibrox to play for rangers and would take a wage cut. Fingers crossed would be perfect calibur of player we should be signing or trying to sign at very least.



18 May 2017 21:53:06
Scott Allan had his chance and went for the money to them he even denies being a rangers supporter, don't want him near the club, the only thing jason Cummings will be near ibrox for is to see his agent who sits in the members and he done the deal to extend his contract with hibs, the last time we looked at him.



18 May 2017 22:27:42
Well said jake16



19 May 2017 08:21:55
jake i bet your the same guy who jumps up and down when kenny millar scores all forgot when he scored against us for the unclean and even kissed their badge when celebrating. i think scott allan with the right coaching and players round him could be a bargain buy if we got him on the cheap 100k offer for a player better than any of our current central mid



19 May 2017 08:59:02
Stewartyblue

Honestly can't see them selling him to us. More likely he will go on loan to Hibs or another premiership side



18 May 2017 19:50:00
Dave King has said that ALL season ticket money will be spent on the squad. Does that mean most of it in the summer and some in the winter? I presume the money IF we get it would include transfer fees, wages and other costs? So what does that give PC in real money to spend? Thoughts



18 May 2017 20:03:39
Don't think it matters how much is spent on players it's what players we get, we have had players for not a lot or no money in the past like boumsong, reyna, gattuso a price tag doesn't mean everything.



18 May 2017 20:11:39
Not sure what percentage would go where but i'd happily use the biggest whack to pay off some of the impostors we have just now! We
CAN'T afford to keep shelling out wages for this mob and go into next season with pool of players! i'd happily bring in free transfers and keep beerman barjonas ect in the side than persevere with halliday ohalleran etc



18 May 2017 21:09:07
It could be spinning a line in order to sell season tickets



18 May 2017 23:02:09
You think?!



20 May 2017 21:23:05
tavenier waghorn windass niko crooks could all fetch us some sort of fee so that is a plus as no pay off for them then also mackay and garner could fetch us money if pedro decides to sell.
so that leaves us with keirnan halliday ohallran forester hodson holt doodoo the last 3 could be used as squad players.
so we will only have to pay keirnan halliday forester ohallran of.
getting rid off players mentioned above would raise some funds plus also free a lot wages so after signing on fees ect and if king stays true to his word and would expect pedro to have 10 or 12 million available for transfer fees possibly more depending if he gets any of the transfer fees



18 May 2017 19:37:08
I like the fact that pc seems to have ruffled a few feathers ie charlie Nicolas, Neil Lennon, PC has only rangers interest in mind if you don't like so wit attitude.



18 May 2017 21:26:46
Not sure he has ruffles Lemons feathers think he just said he has been bang average. Anyone who really cares what either lemon or Charlie NaClass thinks



18 May 2017 22:49:46
Charlie naclass don't know anything about current Scottish football he just sits in the studio tossing off over the English premiership so his opinion on Rangers is totally irrelevant.



19 May 2017 09:01:43
Exactly Deanobear naclass has no credibility whatsoever and for a so called Celtic fan he couldn't wait to leave them. Total tosser



18 May 2017 19:31:58
funny here we go again, King makes a statement about spending, and all of a sudden most of you avid fans / accountants have spent the money already. You keep saying give Pedro time to get his own squad together, so show some patience AND some common sense and give him a chance, i'm not his biggest fan but he has to show his hand, it WILL be interesting as i don't particularly think that us fans and King are necessarily singing off the same sheet music. There are transfer fees, agents fees, pay offcontract fees then wages, so it won't take long for the ticket money to go up in smoke. let's wait and see, things need to happen soon.



18 May 2017 19:11:20
I just seen on tv that robbie kruse has left the chinese team he was playing for. Does anyone know how much he was earning a week with them? He looked really good at leverkusin and i just wondered if anyone thought he would be a realistic option for us?



18 May 2017 17:45:49
ive got the suit of armour on for this post as i'm going to get pelted for posting this one of the players i would love to see at brox is scott allan from what i seen of him with hibs and even when he played for the unclean was good think he only signed 3 year contract so will be moving into his final year and wouldn't cost much wether the unclean would sell him to us is another argument. I would also prefer moult to big laff more of a goal scorer and cummings would also do a job for us as we have been crying out for a wee poacher sort of guy also mclean or hayes from the sheep. and couple of quality cbs. i await the 50 disagrees lol.



18 May 2017 18:06:46
Scott allan no thanks we already have duff midfielders we are trying to get shot of so why would we buy that rocket h will likely end up back at hibs or falkirk or somewhere like that



18 May 2017 18:23:52
Brave post lol! But totally agree with you Scott Allen is a far better midfielder than holt, Halliday and windass. Would love Cummings and Naismith at the club next year but not so sure about moult yes he has scored goals this season but personally I thin we need better!



18 May 2017 18:35:41
Allan is an interesting one as don't know what will happen to him. He has failed twice done south and I can't see any future for him at Celtic park. Maybe on loan to Hibs? can't see him playing for us. As for Moult over Lafferty couldn't agree more



18 May 2017 19:08:55
that was my point lads i think scott allan is a better player than what we have and i recon he would cost us 200k or less good squad player 2 have and a gers fans. he should have came 2 us in the first place badly advised i think.



18 May 2017 19:34:11
Honestly can't see them selling him to us.



18 May 2017 21:50:35
stewarty need more than pelter armour for that one.



18 May 2017 22:07:42
Is that really what we want for us? A guy who can't even see the first team at Celtic cause he's so far away from it and didn't play every week for the worst team in the English championship? Agree with the poster above who said its not what you spend, it's what you spend it on. Just need to be better at finding good young players before clubs with more money than us do. Imagine if Allan did sign for us? He would need to be the best player on the park every week just for a big chunk of our support to begin to accept him. To big an ask for him



18 May 2017 22:31:18
Would love to see cummings and naisy back👍



18 May 2017 22:43:10
Wouldn't want him any where near ibrox he chose money over his supposed colours, only had to wait a year and we could have signed him. he's showed how good he is anyway better than what we have but is he that much better?



19 may 2017 19:39:50
scott allan was a rangers who chose celtic over us for more money. he'll end up on loan at dundee utd where he started his career or celtic will release him from his contract. he is not welcome at ibrox!



19 May 2017 20:17:13
He earns twice what we would pay, he's already shown his hand. Don't see this one flying



18 May 2017 17:20:48
Interesting quote from dave king in his statement earlier . "All of our season ticket money will be invested in the football squad as we continue to work towards taking our club back to the very top of Scottish Football. so if he sticks to his work then pedro should have around £15m transfer budget.



18 May 2017 17:31:04
15mill probably includes everything wages payoffs etc, couls be interesting



18 May 2017 17:31:59
Surely the "football squad" includes wages as well as transfer fees? He didn't say that "only" the season ticket money would be invested but at least he has confirmed the minimum that will be spend is 100% of the money raised



18 May 2017 17:33:45
Was thinking that myself mate, say we equal last seasons 43,000 sold and average £400 a season ticket. You're talking about £17.2m in the squad. I'd imagine that would go towards wages and players (assuming he sticks to his word) .



18 May 2017 17:41:10
Can I just ask whoever disagreed with the op why that was? Do you disbelieve Dave King and I'm in the"believe it when I see it"camp with him or do you not think we'll make £15m off season tickets or because he says invested in the squad it will cover paying off unwanted players, signing on fees, wages etc. so it will end up nothing like that much for actual transfers? Interested in other people's views on/ interpretation of what he said.



18 May 2017 18:05:13
Yeah i would asume £15m or so would include wages but still get couple decent quality in for that money especially if we can get a couple bosmans with quality and hopefully we get shot of a few



18 May 2017 18:06:12
i take it this money will be for the season so will include the jan transfer window as well as this window so if it is in the range of 15 to 18 million. i'm guessing that some of this cash will be kept for jan window prob 5 plus million at least so looking at 10 million for this window plus any money that we get from selling players.



18 May 2017 18:43:41
Yeah just seen this on newsnow, wow i'm shocked king has said that but i have been saying king needs to dig deep now or never, i'm officially excited now, though i'm also not 100% king will stick to his word, who knows he might even throw in a wee 5 million extra too lol



18 May 2017 18:01:24
Liverpool Ger, that would be me! Fair cop but it was an accident mi'lord!

PS I do believe that DK will spend the season ticket money as described but don not believe that £15m will be spent solely on transfer fee's

Ed, can we have a don't know or unsure button to save my blushes in future?



18 May 2017 19:14:28
If it is season ticket money on transfer fees then that is exactly what we need, if it is to include players wages etc., and also getting rid of the rubbish already at the club then it really won't go very far!



18 May 2017 19:35:04
King is slippery. This is the same spin as before re his vhildrens inheritance. So all the rangers fans think there will be £15 mill transfer budget? The £15 mill is reinvested in tbe playing staff. That is wages, pay off of contracts, signing on fees, agent fees, registration fees, legal fees, lawyers etc. Also the playing staff are not just the first team. Let me assure you £15mill goes no where. The club probably spent that last season by the time they bought in Sendros, Barton etc so its no different. King did not day anything about transfer money its the gullable on hefe that can't understand anything and so wants to believe its all going to be all right. Stop kidding yourselves



19 May 2017 17:43:07
Lol season ticket money yip were going to pay transfers and wages what is king paying the cleaner if it is 15m that is a start hopefully goes well n king n co put hands in pocket for next jan window



19 May 2017 19:17:27
Waken up lads, King will spend as little as possible. Again, he tells us what he thinks we want to hear.
Well there is some money he won't get his grubby paws on, and that is my money for 2 bar 72 tickets.



18 May 2017 16:16:39
Having doubts doesn't mean calling for the manager to be sacked. I like the fact that Pedro's giving youth a chance and that's encouraging at least. I do think he shows signs of naivety in his over attacking midfield options and I'm not a fan of the academy coaching school psycho babble which Warburton also spoke. It could be a lost in translation thing from his mother tongue but it's more like academy speak. Obviously I and almost all wish him all the best to succeed but questioning things at this stage doesn't mean we're calling for his head. I just want a team to be proud of again with a couple of class act players.



18 May 2017 16:33:00
kfraser, the nature of your comments suggest the he and the board do not want the same thing as you.

On the basis that he has not yet had the opportunity to bring anyone in, how could he be expected to bring in a couple of class players?

Attacking midfield - who does he have that is fit that would fill that role in recent games?

Seems to me that too many people on here take the view that the board and the manager are stupid, do not want to see the club being successful and just want sit and take abuse from everyone



18 May 2017 16:58:43
BR he said he's shown naivety with how attacking his midfields have been, last night he started with 2 attacking midfielders and a striker in the middle of the park. Bearing in mind he had two inexperienced, young centre halves with no sitting midfielder as protection.



18 May 2017 16:48:24
It's maybe a good thing the way things have went since Pedro came in apart from Celtic games off course. Usually when a new manager comes in the players produce performances they weren't giving before giving manager a false picture of some players. Pedro has seen what we've been watching so he will know who to TRY and get rid off. Got to give manager a chance to get his own squad together then judge the man.



18 May 2017 16:55:08
I thought it was a strange decision to appoint Pedro would have prefered British but time to judge him will be next season but don't think we will have a good enough budget to close the gap no matter who we have in charge but I do think he could have did a bit better as we were only 1 point behind the sheep when he took charge



18 May 2017 19:17:28
We can only judge Pedro when his team is based on his players and he is allowed to sign the players he wants. No point in crucifying the guy when he is stuck with the rubbish signed by Warburton, (and he has shown that he is willing to play the young lads rather than those that have no future at the club), equally there is no pint in having a go at him if he has to hunt for players at end of contract that no other top side wants!



19 May 2017 16:37:48
Rangers fans calling for his head are needing to give themselves a shake! give him a season to get his own players in see how the season goes and then judge him! I'm personally for the first time for 5 years looking forward to this summers transfer window and pleasantly pleased with some of the players we're linked with!



18 May 2017 16:15:42
Desperate for moult and Cummings to come in tbh.
Moult proven at this level and will only get better.
And Cummings has that wee bit of swagger that no one in this gers team has.
Team at minute seem a bit too nice. Need a bit of attutude fling in there!



18 May 2017 17:26:57
Lennon would not sell to us no matter how much we offered! It would be the same situation as scott allan. They would sell to them for less money than we'd be offering just to spite us!



18 May 2017 15:38:20
i think no matter who leaves or who comes in, we have to look seriously at fitness training with the number of injuries we have been badly decimated this season, sometimes causing forced changes when the team were playing reasonably well. also some players just didn't have it in them for a full 90 minutes, that IS a worry.



18 May 2017 10:43:13
i for one think that pc is being very clever. what i see is a manager that is assessing all of his squad looking and what players are able to adapt to certain formations. i would say he is also looking at how our young players can perform under pressure and what is the best systems to play in the league. imo this is our pre season friendlies as the players will only have a couple of weeks off before the euro camp starts. so all the prep work being done to weed out the dross and also to get rid of the players that won't fit into is system and replace them with players that will. this can only be a step forward. ps first season back 2 cup semis qualification for europe and third in the league and most of the stadium improvements and repairs having been carried out all done while continuing to manage our finances in a proper way thus insuring that we don't end up in the same position as a few years ago.



18 May 2017 11:04:08
Wow seriously! an actual positive post, that has considered the managers position and goals (Achieve Euro place and clear the squad) rather than being an obsessed 'spend 30mill and fix this king! ' comment. congrats Stewarty I was starting to lose hope on this site.



18 May 2017 11:07:09
But Stewarty, you'll never convince the numpties on here who can't see past their own nose.

For them, the next match is more important than next season and when it isn't great they can congratulate themselves for predicting a poor performance



18 May 2017 11:12:00
Well said, some positive outlook.



18 May 2017 11:20:41
BR65

Seem to remember your unwaivering support for Mr Warburton and recall you saying the same things about people who criticised him. Who was the numpty there?



18 May 2017 11:46:17
bengy25 read the last part of my post first season back and warb record achivied promotion 1 final 3 semis qualification for euro 3rd in league warb team all on a budget do you know anything about football. how far do your think your season ticket money goes if you have one. sfa will be paying us newly promoted team tv money. no money coming in from sale of players no merchandise money no euro money. warb took us as far as he could however i hold my hands up that he did the dirty on us so excuse me for getting that part of it wrong.



18 May 2017 11:50:56
Bengy he supports our manager regardless that's a good thing. You cny just keep shoutin sack him him and him, wts the point in tht?



18 May 2017 11:53:02
soz bengy25 i thought your post was direct at me not br65 however i think warb did a good job as stated in prevoius post. we played some brill football under him however i feel that his downfall was mainly down to his inability to change is system and also hold my hands up again with some of his signing.



18 May 2017 12:15:50
Just watched SSN with Lambert and Nicholas loving saying how far we are behind them and we shouldn't​ be embarrassed about being third, in fact we should be glad. This is what hurts the most. Would love PC to prove them wrong, but don't think he'll be given time to do it.



18 May 2017 13:26:30
One man cannot be judged on inheriting another mans team. Jusdge him on his own assembly. If you buy into all of this negative nonscense then you've been reading one too many Daily Record/ Scottish Sun article. Articles where it's became all the trend to talk about all things Rangers in a negative way, to appeal to the great unwashed masses, keeping is down. Not everything in life is instantaneous or a quick fix.



18 May 2017 13:34:07
Nichols isn't saying anything any honestly fan around knows rangers at this moment are a complete shambles. On and off the park. If davie king is accepting we should be 3rd each season the season ticket money should go down to that level. You pay 500 pound to be champions not 3rd. If the expectation levels have dropped so must the season ticket prices.



18 May 2017 13:42:28
Good to see a positive post. I agree in the fact giving the young team a run out is to gear them up for next season and to be fair the 3 at the back and barjonas when he came on grew in stature. Think barjonas could be an absolute gem as he is a tidy player. Maybe build a team around him like rangers done with ferguson. Can only see a couple experienced defenders, couple midfielders and a striker coming in. Rest will be a mix of the shite we have and can't get rid of and youth player's



18 May 2017 14:40:02
A good post and I agree, PC is playing a shrewd game I hope. Show the money men how far we are behind Celtic, and now using these games as almost preseason for some. I think he already has 3 or 4 lined up to come in, and another 2 or 3 being worked on. ONLY THEN will a judgement be made. He comes across to me as someone who knows more than he is letting on. Let's hope so.
Onward and upward



18 May 2017 16:22:00
Hi Bengy, desperate to be proved right are we?

Warburton did do a good job to a point but for whatever reason he peaked and stopped taking the club forward.

The players he signed did a great job last season but have proved to be short for the SPL.

I take a different view from you - I support the team, I want them to win, I would like to see us winning the league by 20 points but I live in the real world, I do not want a return to the days of overspending and administration.

No club is perfect but if we as supporters are not behind the team, the manager or the board we have little chance of success



18 May 2017 18:18:27
BR65

Just pointing out that you came on here slating anyone who criticised Warburton and in the end you were left with egg of your face. People are entitled to post views on here without you posting cheap childish remarks about them. You should be on here apologising how much you got it wrong about him and lear from it or is that beyond your understanding?



19 May 2017 15:01:46
i don't believe chic green - if davie king didn't care he wouldn't have sent warburton packing or bought caixinha out his contract



20 May 2017 14:20:38
I don't believe chic green

I'd happily pay £800 for a season ticket. Might be steap in comparison to other SPFL teams, however it would provide us more capital.

Dont know what this fixation on dave King providing all funds is. He's one of a number of shareholders. Granted he wanted to be the chairman, giving him boosted esteem over the other shareholders. but he's still one of a number.
He shouldn't make bold statements about £30million warchests, but the gullible will always believe and as a business man he will be more than happy for the fans to buy into these statements, buying season tickets to elleviate any full financial burden. No business man, in their right mind would plow countless millions into a football team, in a country that lives in the shadow of the worlds biggest league. Point blame toward the people who steer our game and the absolutely attrotious TV and advertising contracts they've negiotiated first. SPFL- 18th place in all of Eurpoes league = one of the poorest. All find and well having cash but if you can't attract great player, that want to play in this league then where does that leave us?



18 May 2017 09:41:07
Cant believe the stick our manager is getting from all sides even our own support . who needs enemies when we have a support like this . give the guy a chance to bring in his own players who can fit into his style . he has inhereted a group of dross, a championship team and folk think he's going to turn it round after 10 games with this group . have a word with yourselves.



18 May 2017 09:57:29
You can't deny that some of his tactics/ decision making is nothing short of mad though? The two young centre halves he had no choice in but surely then you should be giving them some protection? Instead he plays two attacking mids and a striker in front of them in the middle. He chops and changes his formation during 90 minutes so much the players have no idea where they should be playing. Some of his tactics remind me of when I was 8 playing fifa and used to throw my favourite players on the park regardless of where there natural position was. Personally I don't see him sticking with a 4-3-3 next season and we'll finally get some structure once he's brought his own men in but he should be adapting to make the most of what he has this season and he's simply not done it.



18 May 2017 10:08:28
You won't convince them big t. They won't be happy until the pressures on him and they get him the sack. I think he should get next season to prove himself



18 May 2017 10:11:11
So far there is no tactical sense from pedro no player inprovment these are things he should be focused on not with talking in the press all the time about aberdeen and tactics ect he is starting look bit stupid with some these comnents as for our so called board the need start backing our new manager him playing youth is prob his way to tell them he needs new players big window for this board and pedro failure to back him will lead to another manager change



18 May 2017 10:32:40
Dutchy_Rangers

It's not a case of people wanting him sacked they are just expressing their opinion and let's be honest the manager isn't helping himself. Everyone knows the team are rotten but we have went backwards under him and he seems more intent talking in the press than doing the job. Let's see how it goes in the summer with transfers however the reality is that an early exit from Europe and a bad start to the league campaign will put him under severe pressure. For now I would rather he concentrates in the team rather than picking petty squabbles with other managers



18 May 2017 10:41:18
Can we all please stop thinking Murty is some sort of footballing god, before the Celtic game everyone was calling for his. A lot of short memories.



18 May 2017 11:14:06
Your no going to improve them anymore, warburton couldnt, murty couldnt, and Ped cant, ther bang average at best. let's just get behind thm there is no miracle cure.

If yous give him a chance tho he can add to the squad and mke it better and blood some youth which would bring a freshness to the squad. Just bk him instead of constantly on his and the teams bk else we won't ever get anywher.



18 May 2017 11:16:22
Lets look at murtys record . struggled to beat morton at ibrox, lost to dundee and ICT 2 nil up against st johnstone at ibrox before losing 2 goals and scored a last minute winner to win 3.2 then a last minute draw at celtic park not exactly inspiring . let's face it these players are simply average at best and to want pedro sacked is ludicrious



18 May 2017 13:21:13
Give Pedro a chance, you can only polish a turd 💩 for so long with most of these players we have



18 May 2017 18:23:04
Bigt75

Are you actually having a go at Murty for a game we won 3-2? You talk as though it's the only time a team has lost a 2 goal lead! Incredible post to have a go at a manager for winning a game and for drawing a game away against a team who has beaten us 5 times this season with 2 games being 5-1. Truly astonishing



18 May 2017 09:40:36
Not posted on here in a while n regularly check to c wat use r all sayin. 1st things first every1 on here wanted youth to gt a chance in the team n now pc is usin them and most of use r all moanin about it. Shows he was more belief in the young guys than the rubbish tht mw brought in. At the end of the day this year was a ryt off when pc took over his only job rly was to get into europa league n he's done tht so last nyt and sunday are rly irrelevant. I know its hard to watch but he can only use the players at his disposal just now and can only b judged by next season. Have faith. I for 1 will always supoort rangers win lose or draw.



18 May 2017 09:51:59
Youth mainly forced in by circumstances.



19 May 2017 15:51:11
i think pc wanted to see how the youth play as well as barjonas didn't have to be played and i think he like the look of a few of our younger players more than he does our first team.



18 May 2017 08:52:18
Only one positive - Barjonas looks a player. Comfortable on the ball, picks a pass, good positioning. We've been playing without a midfield recently, need to have him starting I think.



18 May 2017 10:02:28
Build a team around him. Could b our next Barry ferguson

I thought Beerman had a great game last night under difficult conditions. Him and Barjonas were two positives to take from the game.



18 May 2017 10:34:43
Will be interesting to see what happens with him next season as he did look better and more confident last night. If he isn't going to play regular with us next season then I hope he is put out on loan to another premiership team rather than be sent to a struggling championship side



18 May 2017 11:08:53
I guess it depends on how many players we will see come in over the summer. I hope he gets his chance during pre-season as I wouldn't mind seeing him and Rossiter playing together in that 4-2-3-1 formation. I think young Aiden Wilson looked very good considering he was up against Rooney, who is a big old unit with a lot of pace. I think it was in the first 5mins when he chased down a ball in the corner and I was surprised at how quick he was.



18 May 2017 13:08:03
Don't think he's quite at "build the team around him" nellylad. But the 3 kids in the back 4 and Barjonas in front of them, they all gave a good account of themselves.



18 May 2017 13:47:21
nellylad, no pressure on the kid, then? Give yourself a shake.



18 May 2017 08:12:23
The one thing I can take from last night is it is amazing how many fans think a new manager can fix a team in 10 games - without bringing in ANY of his own players. Give it time, it's embarrassing that some of you are calling for a manager's head.



18 May 2017 08:25:11
Not calling for the managers head but have been found questioning many of his decisions mate. I mean to play a middle 3 made up of 2 attacking mids and a striker was baffling last night, especially against the sheep. The football's been god awful - Murty had this squad of imposters playing like a unit and we've went backwards since. Just hoping it's a case of we currently don't have the players to play the way he wants to and it gets addressed in the summer.



18 May 2017 08:29:40
Totally agree



18 May 2017 08:48:38
Lets look at the plain and basic facts. He has a bang average track record, he can not set up a team, he has no discernible style of play, he chops and changes formation like the Scottish weather, he plays players out of position and more worryingly not one player looks interested under him.

I have witnessed some bad performances in my time, but I think under his tenure may well be some of the worst.

What worries me more is I am now expecting a raft of Sionko, Svenssons and Stanger's to come flying through the doors.

He makes far too much noise, has far too much to say on all matters. I would rather he keep his council and focus on his own failings as a manager thus far and not release clip after clip of " we will do this, we will do that, Aberdeen are this, they are that".



18 May 2017 08:50:29
We have went backwards under him and it was him who said he had the best squad in the league. Stupid comments like that don't help him. He should keep his mouth shut and get on with it



18 May 2017 08:55:09
Playing like a unit. A unit that almost got beat by Morton (Should have) a team that picked up what 7 points out of 15? Holt and Halliday would not have improved that team last night so why put them in? the midfield was made up of what was available.



18 May 2017 08:56:43
Only show in town its embarrising all the other clubs are laughing at us because we constantly put our iwn team down and act like we are still in the Gazza days. We are rebuilding on a small budget, with players out injured and trying to blood a few youth with a new manager.



18 May 2017 09:01:03
Onlyshow, I couldn't agree more the guy has been dealt a rubbish hand here he has probably came in thinking of rangers as the great team that has nearly 150 years of winning behind it and with the same expectations as all of those who are calling for his head. We need to back him and let him bring in players



18 May 2017 09:06:27
Wowwww! Nuttin like supporting the new manager blue blazer eh? Your even predicting the players he's bringin in. Give it a rest man lol. Judge him next season. Your one of the fans that won't be happy unless we are blowing all sorts of millions on players. They days are gone mate. Look at the players we had available last night.



18 May 2017 09:31:36
I won't call for his head till he's had a chance to sign his own players. However, a good manager looks at what he has and figures out how to get the most from the players available to him. Pedro can't seem to get the best out of the players and persists on trying to play systems which the players obviously aren't comfortable with.



18 May 2017 09:40:54
The only we would get the most out of our players would be by taking their boots off them and hiding them, not even bothering to show up for our games. That would be the only way to improve on our dross players. Warburton brought in players that suited him (Little bags that need an arm around them all the time to hide them from bad words and people giving them stick) Predo is someone who will tear into his players, that doesn't suit the Warburton players we have.



18 May 2017 09:49:29
3 managers have managed tht current group of players. I would say ped is doing better than warbs or murty. 3 of our defenders wer from the 20s last night. Warbs and murty had full squads to choose frm nearly



18 May 2017 10:09:58
Dutchy_Rangers

Murty managed to compete and get a draw at Celtic park Pedro's team lay down twice to them and he also recorded the worst ever home league defeat to them



18 May 2017 10:29:12
Please I am begging people to stop bringing up the Murty managed a draw against Celtic crap. That was Celtic's WORST performance of the season and they still almost beat us. Pedro has managed us when Celtic played arguably their best games of the season.



18 May 2017 11:16:59
We got pumped off dundee with murty n struggled to beat morton just shut up bt murty 😂😐 fs



18 May 2017 11:25:46
Onlyshow

It doesn't matter if it was their worst you seem to forget we fought against them put tackles in and didn't stand off them. That was in sharp contrast to the 2 games under Pedro. If Murty could get that level of commitment against them why couldn't Pedro?



18 May 2017 13:06:25
Good stuff Murty managed to get a response against Celtic. He never got a response in the rest of his games.



18 May 2017 18:30:13
Onlyshowaround

His team didn't lose 5-1 and 2-0 to that lot though . You can slag him as much as you want however a draw against them is better than the 5 defeats suffered by both Warburton and pedro



18 May 2017 07:08:36
I'm seeing a huge amount of criticism for Pedro after last night. But let's put this in to perspective and take a look at the squad that played last night. Firstly injuries: Wallace/ Kiernan/ Wilson/ hill in the back line left us 3 players who have played less that 10 professional games between them and they were playing against the 2nd most potent strike force in the league. Frankly I think they did extremely well. Particular praise to young Wilson who was brilliant, quick, strong, good with ball at feet. We all seem to forget that McKay/ Dodoo and even Toral are only 21/ 22 and we seem to be extremely quick as fans to criticize what is easily the youngest, most inexperienced Rangers team that I can remember. Also- I do not recall a single manager using 6 academy players in one game. I did. It like the result. But I did like the desire shown by windlass. The composure and control that Wilson and (most of the time) bates showed. How Beerman drove forward and had Barjonas looks a very good player, shielding the back4 and reading the game well. Take heart bears! There were plenty of good points there to see. We were missing up to 5starters for this game.



18 May 2017 07:35:21
What an utter rubbish post. The team were awful last night and Bates was shocking. Had it not been for the keeper it would have been 5 and once again most of the team were posted missing. Make no mistake and average Aberdeeb side battered us and the midfield was a joke. Dodoo is an imposter who isn't up to the physical aspect of the Scottish game and McKay showed very little interest.



18 May 2017 07:49:18
Teddyofthesouth

Would also point out that Aberdeen were missing at least 3 regular first team players. Jack, Pawlett and Hayes all who are good top flight players and have had much better seasons than any of the players we had missing. Bottom line they fully deserved their victory last night and fully deserve to be second. Our team are rank rotten and the manager has so far been very poor. He talks a good game but can't deliver. Maybe he should just shut his mouth and concentrate on his own side. His selections, tactics and opinions are as embarrassing as his team's performances



18 May 2017 07:57:18
You canny moan for us to play the youth then when 4-5 get in the squad and mby no play so well tear into them. Give them a chance to get some games under there belt. We gave the most unrealistic fans in the lge, get behind the youth players and support them.



18 May 2017 08:06:20
Bengy, I'd like to say you are talking crap mate. Aberdeen had 5 shots on target, 2 of which resulted in goals, the other 3 were VERY comfortable saves. All the young boys played very well in my opinion especially considering their inexperience.



18 May 2017 08:43:46
I gen think if rossiter and krancjar stayed fit, and Barton got given a proper chance we would of got 2nd place but they didn't and we've ended up with 5 players in our squad promoted from the 20s. Weve had a rubbish season. let's just hope we can offload a few of the ones who aren't interested, and back ped in the summer, at least give him 1 window.



18 May 2017 08:55:12

They totally bossed the midfield and fully deserved their win. The keeper made some great saves and they missed a few sitters. Bates isn't the answer he isn't very mobile and his attempt to stop Shinnie for his goal was shocking. The team are rotten and the manager has been poor. I doubt even you can argue with that?



18 May 2017 09:34:30
Bengy25 - Again you have missed the bigger picture. Bates has played 6 games for us vs opposition of a level he has never come up against and I think he has acquitted himself well for a young lad thrown in the deep end. Also - as you obviously didn't watch the game, Bates didn't try and stop him as he was marking Rooney, It was Toral and (should have been) Tavs who stopped his run, but Tav couldn't track an eclipse and Toral decided to collapse and wipe out windass.

Bengy - Stop and think for 1 second here pal. A 20year old and an 18yr old were our central defenders last night.

Also as a side note - I know people are praising Fods for his shot-stopping last night, but nobody seems to be saying anything about how he hung the two lads in front of him out to dry on numerous occasions with his terrible passing/ lack of command in the box and clear lack of communication with the pair of them.



18 May 2017 09:36:49
Was I at a different game last night? Nobody has mentioned the gutless, hiding performance from Windass. A six footer who has all the physical presence of a 3 footer, hides when the going gets tough, runs 50 yards not to make a tackle, pulled out of one and sold the first goal. OK he made one at the other end but over 90 minutes was totally inept, he is one who must be shown the door. Also can't understand why Rangers play the long ball/ long diagonal and play with 3 up front all of whom are 30 yards apart? No point in Garner winning the header if no one is running beyond. Re youngsters, they did OK, Bates is shaky at times, Wilson did OK for debut, Barjonas looks a unit, and Beerman looks like a good option at left midfield.



18 May 2017 09:44:40
They bossed the midfield correct - Reminding you our Midfield was Windass and Toral. They keeper pulled off 3 saves I expect him to make. bates is 20 years old and hasn't played first team football until now. He is better than Kiernan and Wilson and should have been playing this entire season. The team are dreadful, I refuse to pin the blame on Caixinha. You can't polish a turd, but he is doing his best with what he has. If the man wants a 4-2-3-1 formation then he is going to see what players suit that, there is genuinely no point at all going to say a 4-4-2 to suit our players then change it to a 4-2-3-1 later on.



18 May 2017 10:13:30
Teddy of the south

You don't have talk some amount of rubbish mate. Bates isn't good enough he lacks mobility and is slow. Doesn't matter how young you or how many games you have played you can't improve these aspects



18 May 2017 10:20:54
Teddy of the south

Actually I was at the game and if you care to watch their goal again you will see Shinnie goes by Bates as if he isn't there. You know just because a player is young doesn't automatically make him a good player. My opinion is that Bates isn't good enough and lacks pace and mobility. In my opinion he won't make the grade at Ibrox and isn't the type of player to move us forward. We will see what happens next season and if your right about him I will come on here and apologise to you if I'm right I expect you to do the same



18 May 2017 10:23:38
Only show around
Playing 3 in midfield was a shocking error as everyone knew how Aberdeen would set up. Also playing Miller there is ridiculous he is never a midfielder. Anyone with any sense knew that he played the wrong formation and that they would dominate in midfield.



18 May 2017 11:00:42
Brian G - Please elaborate on how what I said was rubbish? I'm not claiming to be a football expert, but I am an analyst of the sport for my job.

Bengy- No you are wrong, Shinnie Drifted past Windass, Toral came up and managed to wipe out windass in the process forcing Tav to have to sprint to get at Shinnie and Bates had to come across and close the angle (Honestly not sure it was bates either as it looks more like Wilson from the highlights) My point is that you are quick to slate him and say he isn't Rangers class after only 6 games? Your expectations are way too high mate.



18 May 2017 06:46:42
We are rank rotten. If pedro can make us better it will be a miacle.



18 May 2017 03:56:07
Delighted Pedro called out Mcinnes behavior. My kind of manager and mcinnes proving his limitations.



18 May 2017 08:51:45
Personally thought Rangers were above this crap.
Until we do something worth shouting about, then they should all button their lip.
It might be quiet for a while though!



18 May 2017 03:17:08
Intrigued to know where all this money is coming from to shift all these players that everyone seems to want rid of. I'm reading we'll just get rid of 12 players and we'll just replace them with 12 new ones. The thing people seem to be forgetting is that most are still under contract so unless I'm mistaken it ain't that easy to get shot of anyone unless someone buys them (can't really see that happening) or we pay them off. that's where the majority of the little money we'll have will go. Sad to say it but I think we'll be stuck with most of the dead wood from this season and maybe add 4 or 5 new (free) players.



18 May 2017 07:26:29
Lee unfortunately your 100% right
I think that's going to be one of our biggest problems
I fully expect Pedro to tell at least six or seven that they can go but who the hell is going to buy them

We need massive investment to improve the squad abs they are hopeless
I'm glad he is using the last few games to get some young lads game time but I'm really worried what funds are going to be available for the squad next season

The next six odd months is time for action transparency and less words
I'm getting fed up hearing too much talk and no action
I really hope Pedros the man to take us forward but he needs to be backed and we're hearing nothing from King

It's been a depressing season and we can't blame Pedro for the results just now as a combined team of Klopp, Jose and Pep wouldn't be able to scrape a d cent result out of the team we have just now

We do have to acknowledge that some of these players did get us back into the premier but they simply aren't not good enough for a challenging team



18 May 2017 07:59:20
Fingers crossed warbs comes in with a summer raid 😁 take them all bk apart from fod



18 May 2017 00:29:40
I went to the Aberdeen match and I'll tell you if rangers play like this in the Europa league they will get hammered just being honest.
