20 Jul 2020 21:48:27
Is it at Ibrox?

20 Jul 2020 21:54:35
Were already playing Motherwell ibrox wednesday. Must be a development team that play them, prob at Murray park.

21 Jul 2020 05:40:38
It was an article from there manager saying they are playing rangers on 22nd it must be development team like hereweego sais wee play motherwell at ibrox that night still hope wee destroy them who ever plays them.

20 Jul 2020 19:37:54
Danny wilson colorado rapifs contract expires 31st december short term fix to fill katic void just a thought i would be happy with that.

20 Jul 2020 19:44:23
No thank u sir Walter. Another one who did not want to play for us.

20 Jul 2020 19:48:57
John was he not out of contract when he left didn't realise he left on bad terms if that's what you mean?

20 Jul 2020 20:06:18
I thought he never got offered a new contract and that’s why he left but maybe wrong.

20 Jul 2020 20:19:05
Abysmal, no chance. The injury hasn't really been sustained by a key player. Should really be looking for a decent striker.

20 Jul 2020 20:26:48
Wee only have 3 centre halves tho but yes also another centre forward be nice.

20 Jul 2020 20:28:17
Defoe is a quality striker who can't get a look in because Morelos is favourite, what's the point in bringing in another striker just to sit on the bench. The manager waits until the last minute to make a change, if your lucky enough to get a change at all that is.

20 Jul 2020 20:39:28
Because wee need another forward who can play up top on his own defoe although brilliant finisher and with support is qaulity can't do that wee need a big forward.

20 Jul 2020 20:40:33
And i'm pretty sure the manager himself stated he is in market for a striker and cover for katic.

20 Jul 2020 20:44:17
We have 4 CB's

Mayo, Goldson, Edmundson and Helander.

RW Needs to be our priority.

20 Jul 2020 20:50:16
John25, thought we showed him the door when he would have liked a new contract. Agree he did not want to play for us when left first time round.

20 Jul 2020 20:50:26
Can only point to when we were knocked out of the cup. Simply did not work up top, need at least one other striker with a physical presence.

20 Jul 2020 21:11:44
My understanding he refused to sign a deal, then tried to backtrack when gerrard gotten job.
One thing I’ll give him he wanted to bring his son up in USA.

20 Jul 2020 21:16:51
Yogi bear would be good if mayo waa our 4th centre back but imo doubt gerrard will go with him he likes to loan out younsters just niggle tells me he won't put faithin mayo and i'm sure please correct me if i'm wrong but did gerrard not say in interview he is looking for katic replacement due to season ending injury?

20 Jul 2020 23:05:36
Sirwalter54
I'm no sure fella, i don't really watch all the interviews. i'd like some of our youth players to get a chance.
The club made a big song and dance about getting young Leon King on a new contract but, there has to be a pathway to the first team.
If we do go for a replacement cb then what about John souttar?
Injury problems but, still a decent player if he can stay fit.

20 Jul 2020 23:10:37
SG did say he was looking at a CH mate. Also said he likes Mayo attitude but wants him out on loan where he will get thirty games a season.

21 Jul 2020 00:45:16
RE Danny Wilson, the boy was frustrated at game time until he started getting more under Murty, said he would have liked to stay but no offer was made to him so he wanted a move to best suit his family, tried to plea with the club to offer him a deal via his agent but fell on deaf ears. Was the best of a bad bunch back then but would rather see Mayo get some game time if he doesn't go out on loan.

21 Jul 2020 05:44:57
Good shout souter could be gotten cheap sure hearts be needing cash but leon king or mayo be better to see a youth player get his chance us fans would take to a youth getting first team football better than buying one i'm sure not only one whos desperate for one to break through.

21 Jul 2020 07:40:12
Ger88, correct mate regarding danny wilson! There was originally a contract on the table and mark allen then removed it as he wanted to let danny wilson move on for whatever reason? Danny wilson for the record wanted to stay and told john greig all about his new contract getting suddenly removed from the table. One of my pals who works in sky, worked beside danny's mun. Danny Wilson absolutely thought the world of john greig and they both became very close over the years! Greig wasn't at all happy the way danny was treated and that's from the horse's mouth, so to speak!

21 Jul 2020 08:05:59
Ok gers 88 re Wilson.

21 Jul 2020 11:39:24
Bloody hell coop, you've got 'contacts' everywhere! 😂.

21 Jul 2020 13:01:08
Not a player or club about our coops doesn't have contacts in 😂😂😂.

21 Jul 2020 13:24:50
Thanks mrgrumpy much appreciated pal! 😂😂.

20 Jul 2020 15:25:43
I see the glasgow evening times reporting there the now that bristol city's billionaire owner is very confident that steven gerrard will be their new manager, with a promise of millions to spend, to take bristol city up to the english premier league. Although the bristol city owner isn't taking NO for an answer, i still can't for the life of me, see gerrard leaving as rangers manager, to become the new bristol city manager! I hope not also!

20 Jul 2020 15:44:01
Looks like Danny Cowley is the man for that job now
🙏🙏.

20 Jul 2020 15:49:50
Not a chance, even with mega bucks no guarantee in that league, plus no Europe. If he wants the Pool job he needs to be a success at a pressure club.

20 Jul 2020 15:50:29
Really can't see him leaving for Bristol rovers, think he will want another crack of silverwear with us.

20 Jul 2020 15:53:21
Why not if he takes them up it enhances his chances of the liverpool job when it becomes available soon when there coach leaves.

20 Jul 2020 15:53:29
SGL no need to worry he's not going.

20 Jul 2020 16:29:39
Too good to be true.

20 Jul 2020 16:43:41
If rangers don't win the league they will get him for free next summer.

20 Jul 2020 16:59:05
I think also that this shows he must be doing something right, and ok yes it's only Bristol but folk are watching him and us. Take it as a compliment folks.

20 Jul 2020 17:10:15
Trust you sweep1.

20 Jul 2020 17:19:44
Already said no to them. Move on.

20 Jul 2020 17:20:50
Gerrard must win the league this year👍.

20 Jul 2020 17:44:37
Watford managers just been sacked, I'm sure they'll snap him up with their sugar money.

20 Jul 2020 17:55:07
As I said a few weeks back, the likes of Lennon might be tempted away from managing an Old Firm team by a job in the English Championship but if Stevie Gerrard was to leave Ibrox it would be to a big name club with plenty of prestige about them, not a Bristol City or Bolton type team of serial losers.

20 Jul 2020 17:55:35
Yep trust me to tell the truth Steven loyal, if he doesn't win the league he's out a job.

20 Jul 2020 17:56:05
If he's not on top by xmas hell b away b4 the end of this season.

20 Jul 2020 18:14:17
All these people saying If gerrard doesn’t win league gerrard will get sack don’t agree if we win something and go close in league they won’t sack him crap.

20 Jul 2020 18:17:49
Coldo, i'm first and foremost confident gerrard will win the league this coming season mate. But i'm honestly not so sure that if god forbid he didn't win the league, but lifted the scottish cup or Betfred league cup or both, that he'll be sacked by rangers. I honestly don't think he will be sacked!

20 Jul 2020 18:40:21
coldo 1 of my mates have just told me SG has if not the worst its 1 of the worst records as a rangers coach if true i'm flabigasted he's still here.

20 Jul 2020 18:56:15
Not the worst DSGERSFAN. Ahead of me guen, Pedro, McCall and Murty at a quick glance. Took all of two minutes to find out. Also only 2% worse off the Walter Smith himself in his later period with the club.

20 Jul 2020 19:00:25
Might get a free transfer by October.

20 Jul 2020 19:20:39
huge difference. we can't just keep changing managers. we need some continuity, ok if he was rank rotten then for sure we wouldn't keep him but he is getting closer. getting some results in revenue assures sponsors they will get return for investment meaning more money from non on field activity as well as the revenue from the field itself. i wasnt the greatest lover of gerrard when we got him but he has grown on me and the last thing i want is to see him go prematurely.

20 Jul 2020 19:40:06
Not 1 piece of silver where in 2 seasons trying and umpteen million spent and were no enough better fur the dough spent this is the reason he's no fur rangers if this mob get 10 were gonay here about it till we match it n to be honest i cany see it been done ever again my god many compitions have they won in a row umpteen well no even match that in my living days man.

20 Jul 2020 20:04:20
Stevie's going nowhere, but if the billionaire wants him, give us a hundred million in compensation.

20 Jul 2020 20:36:24
If gerrard was anyone else he would already be out a job. I hope to god he wins this title. 3 seasons without the title would be a catastrophic failure. 👍.

21 Jul 2020 10:00:46
Of course coldo, rangers going 3 years without winning the league title would be deemed failure and rightly so! But in failure we all have to look at the ingredients that we have failed before throwing anyone to the wolves. Surely to god we all on here understand the absolute shambles of a club from top to bottom, that steven gerrard inherited, when he became rangers manager!

Add that to the fact that celtic were destroying us and were scoring 5 goals against us regularly and were light years ahead of us. So for me no matter who became the rangers manager in 2018,was going to have one helluva difficult job trying to bridge the massive gap.

For me gerrard needed at least 3 years like i've said all along! There's no doubt he HAS bridged the gap and we now are capable of beating them on a regular one to one basis! The conundrum we must now sort out is consistency, especially against the smaller teams who sit in playing the low block!

If we solve that and i think we will gerrard WILL WIN THE LEAGUE! I know we're all desparate and impatient for the club we all adore to become the dominant force again, within scottish football and i believe its coming and very close now.

So although the final hurdle has to be cleared by gerrard and our players, i truly think he's closed the gap to them considerably, we're a club in much better shape from top to bottom and gerrard and the management team for me have done a good job in getting us as close, as quick, as we are now! Back gerrard and our players because imo our team is very close to arriving. 👍👌.

20 Jul 2020 10:51:57
Hi
Rangers getting a lot of good reviews the way they played in The Petrofac Trophy beating all the teams they played against.

My only disappointment was not getting the chance of playing Celtic for the hattrick.

We never lost a goal and were top scorers even with only ten men against Lyon.

Lennon said Celtic played quite well but their fans say different.

Celtic fans play our victory down but they were joint last and struggled in every game.

Can Rangers win the league this season time will tell.

20 Jul 2020 11:35:00
U at wind up graham.

20 Jul 2020 12:00:33
Petrofac cup haha . eh.

20 Jul 2020 13:04:57
The Petrofac trophy? I take it you mean the veolia football tournament.

20 Jul 2020 19:58:34
yes I meant the Veolia football tournament

sorry grahameggman.

20 Jul 2020 08:38:02
Where's the guy on here with his reporter friend that talks nonsense about Kai Kennedy? The real story is out now, the manager wanted to keep him in the academy because his attitude wasn't goid enough for the first team, he was to be sent out on loan as an academy player and thought he was too good for that. Now we know that he is not the only one with that mentality and a few of them think they are the next billy Gilmour, as i already said.

20 Jul 2020 09:06:36
Sg said ego problems among youths and anyone with ego problems won't be anywhere near him or first team. I think that says it all!

20 Jul 2020 10:53:58
Bathgate and I 100% support the manager.

20 Jul 2020 11:31:16
Good call by sg.

20 Jul 2020 11:45:53
Tommy again and possobear it was talking BS
TA said he new some reporter that seems to get sacked a lot lol.

This is the problem with young players these days as soon as they sign contracts they think they have made it.

20 Jul 2020 13:26:12
I believe that a youngster with an ego can be managed and his self confidence should become an asset. Players like Barker and Kent clearly lack self confidence. Over to you SG, let's give Kennedy the first team opportunity to prove he's good enough.

20 Jul 2020 13:05:46
Totally with you John25,as i also totally back steven gerrard 💯%. 👍.

20 Jul 2020 13:38:55
Hbear Kennedy needs to earn his opportunity.

20 Jul 2020 13:41:15
Youth players should be on a salary cap, too many young kids now haven't even played a first team game and want t thousands a week and the flash cars. Think they have made it.

20 Jul 2020 17:21:26
Young Kennedy should take the criticism onboard and prove us all wrong. Really hope he does.

20 Jul 2020 17:46:32
I agree with u bankie. Also sends a clear message to all in academy or first team squad.
