Still have a sneaky feeling Ryan Kent is coming back to our club and reckon he is pushing for move! Hopefully we could get him on a permanent move and he is an excellent player who can only get better 🇬🇧.

19 Aug 2019 23:25:00
Hope so👍.

19 Aug 2019 23:26:01
can't believe he is coming at all now after recent signings.

20 Aug 2019 01:21:11
No chance.

20 Aug 2019 05:04:58
Not a hope. think it would be a waste of money to b honest. Especially if another loan. We don't have cash for permanent.

20 Aug 2019 06:51:39
Lets be totally honest here guys. Its quite straightforward and simple for me anyway. Ryan Kent is better in his position, than anyone we currently have at ibrox, fact. We if at all possible, should be signing him as its a big investment in the future,
not to mention his ability to enhance our starting 11.The investment side being the profit we would make by selling kent, a few years down the line would make us IMO, a helluva lot of dough. Because let's be honest, if we're lucky enough to sign kent permanently, he won't stay here his full career.

20 Aug 2019 06:52:53
Why would kent be a waste of money? He's better than what we currently have.

20 Aug 2019 08:34:40
Don't agree with you Paul86, when you say it would be a waste of money signing ryan kent. It would be a fantastic signing as far as i'm concerned, in more ways than one. It would be a fantastic investment, as in years to come, if we did manage to sign kent permanently.

we would make a lot of money in selling him a few years on from now. Not to mention he'd without doubt, improve our starting 11 even more. He would be the best for the left wing position, no question of that!

20 Aug 2019 08:41:14
I read an article on four lads had a dream pages last night, regarding ryan kent. One of the sites bloggers stevie clifford thinks there's still a chance in his opinion, that kent will end up a permanent rangers player before this window closes on the 2nd of September. They guys always have good information and have been proved correct more often than not. I tend to trust their information on all things rangers,
much more than any other source of info on the happenings at our club.
We wait with bated breath. Here's hoping from my point of view anyway.

20 Aug 2019 09:08:57
Coop and Caldo, I reckon if we reach group stages he may sign with the extra cash available👍 Can’t wait for Thursday😀🇬🇧.

20 Aug 2019 09:15:13
I would only now consider a permanent . If he is better than we have, though that’s a matter of opinion, for me it’s not by much and the stats from last season back this up. We currently play Arfield as one of a forward 3 and with the main striker only leaves one space . At the moment I wouldn’t swap Ojo for Kent as think ojo will score/ assist many more than Kent ever did . Having said all that I did like Kent and if we were able to get him in on favourable terms it would def strengthen the squad .

20 Aug 2019 09:55:20
I posted this previously, it’s dependant on us getting to group stages to finance the move. L’pool apparently won’t budge on loan stance, however, a loan fee for this season with perm move and fee agreed for summer is still an option now the English window has shut. I’m quietly confident if we beat Legia a deal will be agreed.

20 Aug 2019 11:05:04
@yately, I think the move will depend on whether or not we make the group stages. 👍.

20 Aug 2019 11:42:12
I metn if its another loan it would be a waste of money we paid liverpool 1 million for his services last season. And yeah even if they want 7-10million we do not have that kind of money. Ojo has come in and has almost beat kents total goals and asissts last season already. I think if permanent he's worth 4 million tops. So they figures been quoted i don't think it would be a good investment imo.

20 Aug 2019 13:03:24
Seriously guys, let it go.

20 Aug 2019 13:27:32
Stats never show the full picture to how good a player can be for the club. Like i've said on here, who many times last season, did ryan kent waltz past 3 or 4 players and passed to another rangers teammate, who obviously got the assist by then playing in, the eventual goalscorer.
Kent started a helluva lot of passages of play like i've just described, for us. that's why stats can be misleading at times. Ryan kent on form undoubtedly takes rangers to another level.

20 Aug 2019 14:00:43
Sorry mate I don't buy this stats aren't important thing, especially for one of our forward three. Ryan Kent was decent last season but for me a forward player is all about goals and assists. You say how many times did he waltz past 3 or 4 . How many times did he waltz by three or four and it led to nothing. I give him credit for performances against Septick but you don't win/ lose titles in OF games alone. We need players to be chipping in scoring and creating in all game and for me at the moment Ojo seems a far better option.

Like i said earlier I would still think about buying Kent at the right price but i'm just not sure its as much of a priority as others think.

20 Aug 2019 15:42:52
Ryan kent tore celtic to bits, that's the most important stat👍.

20 Aug 2019 16:07:37
He did play well in a couple of the Old Firm games but he was not alone in that, especially the Ibrox games. I think we need to be looking for far more than that this season. If he does, and i hope he does, come back I think we should be judging him far harder and demanding far better numbers against all the other sides. We need to be far more consistent and produce against all the other sides if we have any chance of 55.

20 Aug 2019 17:31:45
i'd have no problems with Kent coming back, think with the signings we've made it looks unlikely though. He does have to add goals to his game though.

21 Aug 2019 00:10:08
SGL stats do show the full picture for the season and clowns like you only like him because he slapped brown FACT
He is not any better than what we have FACT and am only putting fact in because you started it 🤡.

21 Aug 2019 13:29:36
SGL You stated Ryan Kent on Form would take Rangers to another Level, But that was his problem last season, He was off form more often than on, If he could be more consistent Then we would have a Player to excite the Masses, But we have to wait and see if he does sign.

That chris Sutton has too much to say for himself seems to use his column to bash our club and supporters
Honestly who does the guy think he is
He really should be reigned in some of his columns are no less than pure bigoted
It' shouldn't be allowed in a national newspaper column
It incites hatred

Really fed up reading his stuff and why do I read it I'm not sure just too say what nonsense he's talking
Feel like we should start a petition for his sacking from the newspaper for inciting hatred towards our club and fans and publishing bigoted columns that could influence the younger generation reading it

He really needs taking down a peg or 2

Can we complain in numbers or something
Being serious BTW
Would love to see him sacked for the nonsense he writes and quotes?

19 Aug 2019 19:35:33
Thestigno. Don’t subscribe toBT and make them know why
That’s what ido.

19 Aug 2019 19:54:38
Dont read it pal he loves us to react
First prize pur ick.

19 Aug 2019 20:11:25
As long as he gets a bite he'll stay in his job. Best we ignore his comments till he gets shown the door.

19 Aug 2019 20:34:29
Totally agree if we didn't bite he
Would stop spouting
But he is not the only one Boyd Barry Ferguson are just as bad
Rangers should stick to let the football talk.

19 Aug 2019 21:43:48
The former manager of Lincoln City is a tosser.

19 Aug 2019 22:41:42
Better still, win the treble this season and that'll shut him up!

19 Aug 2019 22:47:05
ranting is a known US media method to draw attention and advertising dollars. check the politics here.

20 Aug 2019 01:30:50
He is literally paid to wind people up and be outspoken, particularly regarding Rangers. it's your outrage which lines his wallet. There are many 'impartial' BBC employees, who are far worse in my view, at least Sutton doesn't attempt hide his allegiances.

20 Aug 2019 07:23:12
Boycott bt because u don’t like Sutton? are we as a support to boycott everything? get a grip.

20 Aug 2019 11:17:11
Tango roc my choice, I don’t purchase but because of Sutton and I don’t watch bbc because of Stewart.
Get every game via rangers or u tube.

20 Aug 2019 13:29:43
Don't let any of they a*******s beat you guys. Its all about the rangers.

19 Aug 2019 16:08:29
Just a wee mention on anyone who had doubts about us signing jermain defoe,
what do any doubters think now? Even though it was an original 18 month loan deal
we signed defoe on from bournemouth, i do now think that he'll become our striker on a permanent deal, at the end of this season. He will finish his career at rangers and play for another couple of years anyway. I think as he's already helping out on the coaching side, i can see him becoming our striker coach, once he does hang up his boots. The wee man is a class act still and model professional. He'll continue to score goals for us for fun. He looks after himself so superbly well off the park and has the physique of a player in his late 20's. I can already see the influence defoe is having on alfredo morelos. Morelos at the start of this season,
looks like he's now much better on his one on one finishing, whereas last season he missed a lot of they sort of chances. He's now putting most of these chances away.
Also the eating habits that defoe can/ is passing on to not only morelos, but all our squad is very important and will be beneficial. I read the article about defoe when he first signed for us, which stated he turned a complete vegan, about a decade ago and was told then, that this would prolong his career by around 5/ 6 years. I think looking at him, he could well play for us into his 40's. He's also a teetotaler into the bargain. Wee defoe loves playing for the famous glasgow rangers, you can see it a mile off.

19 Aug 2019 17:01:19
defoes class has never been in doubt, kind of wish he'd signed a few years ago. My only concern was the wages that was reported that we were paying.

19 Aug 2019 17:08:29
His first touches are sublime. No denying his quality. Guys a class act!

19 Aug 2019 17:39:20
Cant recall reading about Defoe doubters on here.

19 Aug 2019 17:50:09
There was most definitely a small amount of doubters regarding signing a guy of defoe's age and the wages side of things. I can assure you also The Stuck, that a few doubted us signing him, at the start when the guy was nowhere near fit, just the same as they did with stevie davis.
Just look at these 2 veterans now.

19 Aug 2019 17:52:43
I can't recall reading that defoe is giving the squad diet advice 🤣 that made me chuckle but can't fault coops enthusiasm.

19 Aug 2019 18:12:29
They're ability was never in doubt supercoop. When we signed them both we were level with c*ltic. It took defoe and davis till march-april too get match fit, by then the league was gone. Surely you can see that supercoop? Last season was a missed opportunity. I think if we'd signed defoe and davis at the start of the season we would have won the league.

19 Aug 2019 19:00:56
Defoe is class and if we hadn't signed him then we wouldn't be seeing the morelos we are seeing today. Davis is class aswell. 👍.

19 Aug 2019 19:07:39
Exactly coldo. Totally agree mate.

19 Aug 2019 19:53:41
But celtic fans said he was a finished journey man who wouldn't score hahahaha.

19 Aug 2019 20:43:51
There is plenty people on here who don't think defoe can hit 30 goals this season. He's already on 6 goals in competitive games and its mid august. There's 9 months to go, I don't think its unrealistic given all the games that defoe can't hit 3 goals per month. 👍.

19 Aug 2019 21:15:41
I think morelos will score 30+ goals this season. If Defoe scores 30, we will win the league.

19 Aug 2019 22:03:46
Pretty sure the club nutritionists advise the players on what to eat! Jeeso.

20 Aug 2019 00:33:22
There’s always doubters on here about everything and I doubt they will every stop.

20 Aug 2019 13:32:50
You obviously haven't listened to what defoe said in one of his interviews when he came here pal. He stated he was a strict vegan and had his own menu on what he ate. God some folk just don't look beyond!

20 Aug 2019 13:37:17
Defoe and Davis were terrific signings, you can never hide class. But the statements about Defoe and his dietary input to the club are ridiculous. He's not, and never has been, a 'complete vegan', he's not even a 'complete vegetarian' as he eats fish three or four times a week. He also only radically changed his diet in the past two years when he stopped eating red meat, not 'a decade ago'. Coop, how do you expect to be taken seriously when you are prone to such silly exaggeration in almost all of your flowery posts?

20 Aug 2019 14:30:04
Listen daisy yore, jermain defoe himself said this about turning vegan and it was almost a decade ago. Try looking into things before saying anyone is wrong. Not all his life vegan, i never said that. Honestly there's some warmers on here right enough.

20 Aug 2019 19:32:21
Show me where I used the words 'all his life'. He is NOT a vegan, he takes his diet more seriously than that. He only gave up eating red meat two years ago (his own words) . Warmers? The term could have been invented for you. Still insisting we've got a gentleman's agreement with Leicester over Morelos? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

19 Aug 2019 15:31:40
The recent turmoil at Celtic has meant @jackanory has forgotten how to tell stories!
So we’ve no elaborate tales of Sunday pints with Bears that were his ex’s or men that wear suits or bets that pay for an all inclusive fortnight in Coatbridge 👍😂
Normal service will resume when they splash another £12 million on another CH and LB that none of us have heard of, is rubbish and was bought without Lennons say so. 🤣😭🤣.

19 Aug 2019 18:21:12
He was left out sunday bringing everyone down with constant talk of rangers financies unwillingness to admit his team at the moment are gash 😁.

19 Aug 2019 15:22:59
Now here's something that I don't understand borna barasic has been called up to the Croatia squad again he's not even been playing for us really this season🤔🤔.

19 Aug 2019 17:05:06
He's obiviously highly rated by Croatia and when he's played for his national team, he's played well. What I don't understand why he doesn't seem to show that form at club level.

19 Aug 2019 17:28:18
He can't handle the rough and tumble of the Scottish game. Hope he can toughen up but he might not be up to. Good player but it might not work out here for him. I'd sell him and go get Greg Taylor.

19 Aug 2019 17:32:01
I hope he does well with Croatia and hope it works out for him at rangers he's one of they guys that I know is technically a very good player but lacking something elsewhere probably not enough desire or commitment.

19 Aug 2019 20:39:10
The guy can play football and if he played for almost any other team
He is a 25 mill player all day.

19 Aug 2019 14:28:08
Guys, East Fife beat Hearts, albeit on penalties. We send a shadow side and win easily in deplorable conditions. Think too many judgements are being made based on yesterday's performances. The manager isn't doing it, I'm sure he was just happy to get the win, and get these guys some game time. They will be judged every day in training and he will pick a starting 11 based on that, and the opposition. Seems to be getting it right so far this season. In Gerrard we trust!

19 Aug 2019 11:32:15
So decent performance 2nd 11 against a leg breaker team in a kids playground surface 😁 So a spoon burner mate put this to me, if Liverpool had a minger of a first half of the season, unlikely but you never know, and Klopp got really pissed off and threatened to leave, Gerrard meanwhile was top of league and doing the business in Europe, would he go if asked by the Reds?
Well?

19 Aug 2019 11:51:23
Yes but purely because it is Liverpool, his first love.

Will be with us for a couple more seasons i expect though as we are the right club for him until then.

19 Aug 2019 12:51:46
Yes he would however I don't think Liverpool would approach him quite yet. They have the world at their feet and would likely go for a bigger name / more proven manager.

19 Aug 2019 16:00:44
Not sure DL, l think the high heed yins at Liverpool will be watching how Frank Lampard does at Chelsea before deciding if SG would be a good fit after Jurgen Klopp.
