Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


21 Dec 2019 19:34:36
Defoes finish last night was class and a thought for celtic match do we start defoe or morelos. My thinking is we may get 1 or 2 good chances and that defoe maybe best placed out of the 2.



21 Dec 2019 20:46:21
If we get “ one or two “ good chances we had better not bother turning up, , and Morelos will start, don’t be worrying about that, strange post?



21 Dec 2019 21:03:53
We play our best team/ players
McGregor
Tav, goldson, katic, barisic
Jack, Davis (if fit) kamara
Aribo, Morelos, Kent.



22 Dec 2019 00:03:10
perhaps SG (super gaffer) will go with something completely different and go two up front and morelos sitting behind them!



22 Dec 2019 09:29:26
Honestly can't understand your comment grumpy, not having arfield in the starting 11 is schoolboy, folk seem to forget he's a cm, yes he excelled last season for a bit in the more advanced role, but that was due to lack of a good player available for that role. Davis Jack arfield is the strongest midfield 3 with Kent aribo infront morelos up top.



22 Dec 2019 09:59:14
Ftw that's when we will get well and truely hammered. We changed shape last game at ibrox v them. Went horribly wrong.



22 Dec 2019 10:14:25
Agree dundeehamilton that would be our strongest mid 3.



22 Dec 2019 11:28:28
All opinions dundeehamilton. I like arfield and after a sticky start to the season he's playing better. If Davis isn't fully fit, arfield replaces him. Having such a strong midfield is a good problem to have.



22 Dec 2019 15:19:34
Arfield gets in Scott Brown’s head, would 100% have him in the starting lineup.



22 Dec 2019 16:07:15
Instead of who wagsman?



22 Dec 2019 13:15:38
Mr grumpy i would start arfield in the mid with Davis, if fit, and jack. Arfield gives more of a goal threat than kamara. He has been playing well. And aribo seems to finally be coming onto a consitant game which is pleasing to see.



22 Dec 2019 17:45:03
Arfield definitely more of a goal threat but with the game being away from home I'd go for kamara, he's a bit more defensively minded. Playing either one, I think we can get a good result.



21 Dec 2019 18:07:36
As i'm sure every bear on here will agree,
it was a terrific team performance against hibs last night and it could/ should have been a lot more than 3-0.We absolutely blew them away, with ryan jack (yet again), ryan kent and joe aribo being particularly outstanding last night. Jacko has to be the best midfielder in scotland just now, by a country mile.



21 Dec 2019 18:31:45
Looking like jack could develop a good partnership with aribo. There was signs last night.



21 Dec 2019 20:41:34
SGL, agree with you mate. I mentioned this before, I think Jack should and would be a great Rangers captain. For me Tav is not a leader. What do you think SGL?



22 Dec 2019 10:18:06
Jacko would make a good captain.



22 Dec 2019 15:34:23
SGL had him down as a future captain a while back, , along with 18 others.



23 Dec 2019 17:41:36
I do know exactly what you're meaning regarding tav and jacko and who should be captain mate. Our manager steven gerrard himself, was a great liverpool and england captain and if he thinks tav at this minute is the best choice for rangers captain, that will do for me pal!
Every captain is different in the way they go about their business.
Thats not to say that i don't think ryan jack is a future rangers captain, because i most definitely think that its tailor made for jacko to become the rangers captain one day. But this is just me and i wouldn't just take the armband away from tav and give it to jacko and i also think there's absolutely NO chance that gerrard would do that!
Ryan Jack's time will come for having the honour of the captain's armband mate!



21 Dec 2019 17:29:44
We are in a good place guys, but the Tim's ain't going to let this Title go with out a fight and are certainly getting the results😭🇬🇧.



21 Dec 2019 18:24:29
Agreed, they were shocking v hearts and won, and my mate who's a Celtic fan said they were unconvincing v Aberdeen today, but they keep digging out the results. Hopefully we're the better team again on the 29th and this time we can score and get the result.



21 Dec 2019 19:24:12
dont know what kinda mateyou have but they steam rolled hearts and could of take 7 of the sheep first 25min ill be happy we a draw next week and won our game in hand.



21 Dec 2019 23:01:54
Does anybody know why Broony sent off Cosgrove.



22 Dec 2019 10:04:38
Jaws, that’s an easy one, because he could.



21 Dec 2019 13:48:02
Whether gerrard starts morelos or not against killie i would start defoe against celtic. at least for around 60 minutes. he's much better at noticing when a pass is better than a shot. last night against hibs defoe had an eye for a pass whereas morelos wouldve tried a shot. not saying its a bad thing all the time as he's single handedly won us games this season and the guys untouchable at times. but sometimes you need a level headed player for big games.

let's go 3 nil up then bring morelos on after 60 minutes and let him score a couple. want to destroy them. and can't wait to wipe that smug look off scott brown and lennons face. and i for 1 will be there at parkhead celebrating at the end. its about time we beat them at parkhead. play the way we played ladt night we will not only beat them, we will destroy them.



21 Dec 2019 14:06:20
Dont forget. Morelos can keep the whole opposition back four busy all afternoon, Defoe is a brilliant striker but they both have a different style and job to do in the team.



21 Dec 2019 14:22:17
Agree with some of what you say, however felt that last night there was a few Tavernier and Barasic crosses that had Morelos’ name all over them, Defoe doesn’t attack the goal in the same manner.

Both are more than capable and I feel that Morelos is due a goal against them.



21 Dec 2019 14:27:02
That won’t happen, Morelos and Greg’s, Aribo and goldson will be nailed on first names on sheet.



21 Dec 2019 15:14:09
borna can be as popular as dado.

he said 'no surrender' on instagram.

love it!


please score a free-kick at the piggery!

wdw.



21 Dec 2019 15:39:42
And Jack and Kent tomster55.



21 Dec 2019 17:40:06
Ryan Jack will be a nailed on starter against them also on the 29th! Jacko at the moment is the best midfielder in scottish football bar none!



21 Dec 2019 17:48:41
What about starting Morelos and Defoe, they couldn't handle that. That would be a surprise to them. 3 nil Rangers.



21 Dec 2019 19:35:21
definately won't play 2 strikers. doesn't suit the team set up.



23 Dec 2019 17:45:39
Got to be Morelos imo. As somebody said he pulls defences all over the place leaving space for others to exploit. He has to be focused and on best behaviour or Broon will send him off. Depending on how things are going, Defoe for the last 20 mins. That finish on Friday was world class.



21 Dec 2019 13:45:12
Last night was One of the most one sided games of football i have seen in a long time. to a man rangers were far superior. how we didn't score at least 6 is a mystery. a training match wouldve been harder.

Aribo jack and kent were amazin. kent eventually showed why we paid 7 million for him.

We play like that on the 29th we will definately give celtic a game. let's get past kilmarnock 1st.

Last night was an easy win for us. i know not every game will be like that but how proud of rangers were you last night. especially against hibs.

Merry xmas bears🎅🎅🇬🇧🇬🇧.



21 Dec 2019 14:13:32
Merry Christmas to you Stop the 9 when it comes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



21 Dec 2019 14:30:36
God almighty mate, one post has us totally destroying them, then a minute later we can definitely give them a game? Have you got itchy fingers, or you just built a new dooby ?



21 Dec 2019 22:26:22
Stop the 9, great team performance last nigh, i also heard that kent is fully fit and never had a jag for pain relief, we don't want to give that lot a game on the 29th, we want to give them a pasting, porkheidnor no, we are way overdue giving some team a going over, so why not them?



21 Dec 2019 13:40:35
Great performance from the lads, controlled the game,
Best wishes of the season fellow bears and bearettes.



21 Dec 2019 14:34:13
All the best mate, was, enjoy the 29th, plenty of Conor’s, or lamaars or whatever you fancy for celebrating, all the best from springburn 🙋‍♂️.



21 Dec 2019 20:51:29
That should have been coors, I’m dizzy with all the zero % peroni,



21 Dec 2019 22:28:15
Happy xmas ian and all bears home and abroad stay safe and peace to you all! when are you back for a game ian?



21 Dec 2019 13:24:14
Hi
Another great display by Rangers, we seem to dominate every game we play in.

Gerrard is improving us greatly since he came in and long may it continue, Celtic fans will not like what their seeing.

Had Morelos been able to play in last nights game, the score line would been a lot bigger.

Kent starting to pull the strings and looking more like himself again and we have other players coming back from injury.

In Gerrard we trust.



21 Dec 2019 13:33:38
We do dominate games but to say celtic won't like what they are seeing after they just beat us is a bit strange. let's beat celtic on the 29th instead of talking about what they won't like👍.



21 Dec 2019 13:50:48
Not sure it is as simple as saying more goals if Morelos plays,

Sometimes far better when he isn’t playing,



21 Dec 2019 14:15:32
Nice to see you back Coldo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



21 Dec 2019 14:54:24
Cheers cunny👍.



21 Dec 2019 15:05:04
Hope all well with u coldo.



21 Dec 2019 15:41:47
Christmas has come early (for me anyway) coldo back👍.



21 Dec 2019 15:55:46
It’s a pity your £7 million love child didn’t turn up in the big games either Coldo. 👍
We might have won a ‘meaningless ‘ Cup Final against Celtic, not dropped points against Aberdeen and topped our Europa League group.
As it so happens these last few games he’s been outplayed by a £300K buy from Charlton!
Back into hiding for you I think, Mr Meaningless Cup Final Against Celtic!



21 Dec 2019 17:41:10
Welcome back coldo pal! Not the same on here without you! 👍.



21 Dec 2019 18:06:04
Who's mr pacman? I think you'll find that kent did turn up as the fans were singing his song all day. If we want to blame anyone then surely you would have to blame our 40mil striker for missing clear chances? I wouldn't blame him though as their keeper was class. And you can't blame kent for the points dropped at aberdeen, the team was 2 nil up so surely the attacking part of the team had done its job? Surely the blame lies with our defence? We all know who. Anyway what a difference in the cb position to have katic back, we look much better defensively. Your post makes no sense at all pacman. Cheers coop👍.



21 Dec 2019 18:07:49
Oh and pacman I think you can blame tav for us not topping our euro group not kent👍.



21 Dec 2019 18:13:07
I'm with coldo here Mr pacman. Ryan kent is a terrific player and will prove a minority on here wrong. Far too quick to wright off a player of kent's class. He'll be a tremendous signing for us, i've got no doubt! The boy is quality.



21 Dec 2019 20:03:11
I'm good john25, you mate? 👍.



21 Dec 2019 23:18:03
Coldo doing good mate.



21 Dec 2019 10:53:39
Not a bad result for a side that will supposedly struggle to score goals without Morelos!
Great to see Kent step up and play.
And Aribo just gets better and better, another who is proving a few of the impatient doubters on here wrong.



21 Dec 2019 13:52:13
Aribo is a great player, wonderful talent waiting to be cherrypicked to EPL
Shame but it’s how it is nowadays.



21 Dec 2019 22:34:46
Mr pacman, we played the last five or six games to finish ladt season without alfie, and put in a few good scores, cricket.



21 Dec 2019 09:56:15
Ryan Kent proved AS1974 wrong last night. Waste of an empty shirt is he?



21 Dec 2019 13:52:56
Not quite sure how you waste an empty shirt?



22 Dec 2019 00:27:02
Tomster55 its quite simple mate, take a knife or a pair of scissers to it, lol, lovl.



22 Dec 2019 01:22:35
@Kfraser. That's the only good game he's played since signing for 7m. Some people on this bloody page need to take their blinkers off . So you trying to tell me he's been good?

Hes got to be more consistent. I think he's a smashing player but to win the fans over he has to stop all these flicks and arsing about on the halfway line. Do that when you score. He scored a well taken goal last night but he's got to reach the heights for the money we forked out.



22 Dec 2019 16:04:34
Not to a Rangers shirt I won’t.



22 Dec 2019 20:25:12
Tom55, neither would i mate, just trying to put a bit of sarcasm to your post mate, hope you tippled. lol.



21 Dec 2019 09:40:26
Aribo is certainly coming on to a game now and making coldo eat his words a bit. Fantastic finish for his goal. Going into last night thot we would struggle but we got off to best possible start and controlled game.



21 Dec 2019 10:36:47
Agree Paul big airborne looks a bit more confident lately 👍.



21 Dec 2019 13:27:52
Is he paul? A decent game v mwell, he was decent last night against a poor hibs team but he was nowhere to be seen against celtic or aberdeen or the euro teams and has been nowhere all season to be fair. Two decent games and you're on here trying to say that he is making me eat my words a bit, that sentence ' a bit' tells me that you're not even sure. I remember ojo and aribo had a good game against ross county and plenty on here were saying the same as you paul. 'A bit' that's brilliant mate. let's wait until he is turning up against the big guns eh👍.



21 Dec 2019 13:33:34
Thought he played well v young boys up until he was clearly breathing out his back side but we all know gerrard do t like making early subbys.



21 Dec 2019 13:54:49
Coldo, where have you been hiding these past weeks, not the same without you.



21 Dec 2019 13:56:58
Strange that, I thought he was outstanding again young boys, I think you have a very limited degree of football knowledge mate: players like Aribo are gems, believe me he is destined for EPL.



21 Dec 2019 14:01:41
Welcome back coldo! Hope you are well mate 👍.



21 Dec 2019 14:55:25
Been busy lads👍.



21 Dec 2019 15:44:35
It's okay to say aribo is decent/ good player coldo😉.



21 Dec 2019 09:05:59
Rangers ease to victory over 10-man Hibs. That's the BBC headline this morning, forgetting the fact that we were 3-0 up before they had a man sent off. Totally biased pathetic reporting. What a great win though. Aribo has come on to a game big time. A selection dilemma or two for the next couple of games but that's a happy problem. Maybe the Sheep can finally do us a favour today? Some hope!



21 Dec 2019 12:07:14
Completely agree DOIGER, When the manks beat them 2 . 0 the media said they "thrashed" hibs.



21 Dec 2019 13:38:55
Afraid not Doiger, Aberdeen don't have the bottle to even put up a fight at Celtic.



21 Dec 2019 13:58:37
Fxxk me, eased means we beat them easily does it not?



21 Dec 2019 22:46:20
Tomsters55, i think the point being they played with 10 men, we should have thrashed them, oops we did, but we had scored the 3 goals before they went down to 10 men, the media don't disclose that fact.



21 Dec 2019 08:42:20
Although delighted with the result last night, i still had two issues.

1) We played half hour against 10 men and never had a shot on target. Tried to walk the ball into the net.

2) Tav had decent game but needs to look before whipping in a cross. Too many times nobody was there.


On a side note, just read that the BBC stats show posession was 50/ 50 WTF?

Only time it was 50/ 50 was during halftime break lol.



21 Dec 2019 09:43:35
We did have shots on target though slim, you must have missed them. We also gave players a run out when he brought the subs on and lost a bit of momentum. I thought Tav had a good game.
Did the BBC really say it was 50/ 50 possession? What a joke.



21 Dec 2019 10:07:55
We stayed out of trouble last half hour, they were trying to seriously hurt our players, good game management.



21 Dec 2019 13:15:58
Totally agree john. Just kept the bsll and managed the game superbly well, hibs were losing the plot.



21 Dec 2019 14:41:34
The strikers are well aware of the kind of balls Tav is likely to put across, and they should get themselves into the areas he will hit, so your wrong to say that, the balls into the box were lethal with a brave and alert striker would love.



21 Dec 2019 22:49:07
Tomsters55, tav should be looking up befoe crossing the ball, if he had done so he wouldn't have crossed the ball, as he would have seen there were no rangers shirts in the box.



21 Dec 2019 06:57:17
Ahead of old firm game SG has a bit of a selection headache, with Steven Davis due back for Kili game, who is our midfield 3 and front 3. One of Davis, Arfield or Aribo misses out. Who would you pick?

Must say I wrote on here yesterday about a small concern of enough assists and goals from wide areas although I said I felt Kent would be fine. Step up Joe Aribo last night. He has played brilliantly last 4 games, well done that man he can only get better! Keep it up!

The whole team was awesome last night!



21 Dec 2019 09:28:14
I echo your thoughts BRW11, was thinking the same last night watching the game. We look so much better with that high tempo, high pressing style. I suppose its a nice problem for the management, who to leave out instead of who do we bring in! I read yesterday Gerrard saying that they don't fill Aribo's head with tactics any more, well it worked last night, one of the best games I've seen him play.



21 Dec 2019 13:17:16
Think it's up to Davis to get back in now, the midfield 3 have been terrific while he's been out.



21 Dec 2019 22:52:38
Scotty dog, if aribo is left to his own game, and plays against celtic in the same fashion, he will be the diffrence.



23 Dec 2019 09:26:02
Davis will come back in for arfield if fit imo. Aribo out on the right of the front 3.



20 Dec 2019 23:17:45
Merry Christmas to all the Rangers family and to all football fans enjoy.
Spare a thought for Fernando, s wife and his daughter this Christmas it will be a tough one
We will all be thinking of you I will raise a glass to you on Christmas Day RIP Fernando
The Legend.
