Rangers young Canadian/Italian centre half luca gasparotto will go on to become a terrific centre half for rangers, I've got no doubt about it whatsoever, he's tremendous in the air, he can tackle & pass the ball well, gasparotto will go on to play in the English premiership one day and rangers will get a big transfer fee for him, our first team coach ian durrant said that gasparotto was by far the best centre half at the recent hong Kong tournament, he's definitely going to be a big player for us this season and more so in the future, what do my fellow rangers supporters think?

Durrant also said Black had a good season.

If he ends up as good as you say he will be I'm Italy soon, way of the world I'm afraid, really don't know how you can say he's going be terrific, who has he. played against? A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker?

Its a bit of a worry if our best player is the centre half. Perhaps Durrant is preparing us for the famous rangers line up of 1 up front.

Gasparato has hardly had any game time, and McAusland has played 24 times for Ayr in SFL 2.
Only time will. tell if Gasparato is going to be a terrific player but who knows.
We need to bring in an experienced centre back if Boca and Goian move on - clarity is required ASAP.

@3 Durant said he was the best center half at the tournament not necessarily the best player, read the post before jumping in.

Should we help out Hearts by arranging a pre season friendly? Believable for yes. unbelievable for no.
Parky

Why should we, no one in the SPL was shouting to offer help and came to our aid.
I wish Hearts all the best in their troubles but if its the third division so be it. PB

Why not 'yes' for yes and 'no' for no. I admit is is perhaps a little complicated, but it could eventually catch on.

ps,

I do not have a problem with it happening.

I certainly won't be buying a ticket to help them out

Why don't they ask peter lawwell for Celtic to give them a friendly as they bowed to his pressure last year, this is 1 of many parties rangers fans should have, I personally can't wait for aberdeen and dundee utd to go bankrupt, WE OWE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL NOTHING.

Never mind helping Hearts, let us help ourselves as well, a two leg game I am sure would fill both stadiums and give both clubs a real nice little earner,

@4 Other than the suits at hampden, i'm not at all sure that scottish football expects or wants anything from us. Fed up with that kind of empty threat being bandied about.

Maybe the question should be do the Hearts fans want the help or would they prefer to sort out their own mess?

Sorry but I wouldn't give them the time of Day why should we play them, their supporters wanted us finished aswell as the other spl teams, why don't they ask hibs for a friendly derby Iam sure that would fill their ground, we owe spl teams nothing.

I think the perfect answer to hearts should be if rangers play hearts the rangers support should let it be known we will refuse to buy season tickets ide rather see hearts finished completly that is called carma and is my answer

The hearts fans won't want no favours from us. They hate us! They giggled like schoolgirls when we were in trouble a year a go. Let em sort themselves out. They'll feel better for it in the long run.

10. I agree with sentance 1, 4, 5
I disagree with sentance 2 and 3

Sentance 4. they are already making a good job of doing that.

Hearts will be fine, because they are so much smaller than rangers, a deal will be done by edinburgh businessmen because it is far easier with a club with 20,000 fans than one as large and and far reaching a ours, they have gotten away with a watch already, our club needed many more millions, having said this I won't forget the statements made by hearts hierarchy and some of their fans, we owe no, one nothing Tommyblue

I'm afraid most of the posts here just make people look very bitter and twisted and its no wonder we have deep rooted problems in the game just now. I think Rangers should rise above all the ill feeling and help Hearts out where they can. What happened to us was down to the actions of OUR owners and no one else. We brought about our own downfall from within and it's irrelevant what other clubs supporters did or said. The article by Dingwall today is a disgrace and it just shows him up for the bitter and twisted individual he is and people like him shouldn't be given a platform to spout the bitterness nationally. All he has left is his bitterness and hatred something any decent Rangers fan should rise above

Pause for a second and think. Why do you think hearts are thinking of asking us for a friendly, I mean rangers specifically? Its not so much a case of "can you please help us mr mccoist" as "maybe we can help each other. " I. e. hearts know what most of the replies above conveniently forget, gers are also still dangerously skint! All this bravado saying "stuff them" smacks a little of cutting off nose to spite face to me. We could do with some cash. Misplaced ivory tower thinking is what got us into this mess.

A the end of the day we as supporters of a club are in reality only customers of a Corporate entity who we pay a fee to, to be entertainedl for 90 minutes.
If there is malpratice in the Corporation then the public. according to what the law of the land is. demand that the punishments for doing so are inacted however the same public, if fair minded, feels sympathy for the customers of the Corporation who have also been badly let down by their wrong doing.

Wasnt just hearts fans WHO giggled m8 am still giggling now one of the funniest things iv seen in my life can't wait to tell the gran Kids what happened to the worlds most succesfull club. Joe bhoy

16) Their club has received its punishment for the wrong doing so can you no just put a sock in it and stop baiting them.

N16 its a good job we can't see round corners eh

I assume our withheld prize money from 2011 has run out then?

hearts are said to be wanting rangers to help them out with a friendly to stop them going to the wall.
personally I think its a disgrace and a they have a cheeck, did any one help us or even offer a little.

so am against this motion from hearts

The only way I'd help them is to give them a map of how to get to third division grounds.

I am dead against this. we never got any help from them. we have worked so hard in the last year without any support from spl teams. it's us vs the world now and we will win every time. I am nice guy and feel sorry for them but I will be very unhappy with we support them. what's everybody's opinion on this subject?

Hi, I also think that Hearts have a cheek when they were so quick to put the boot into us last year, ah Karma is a good thing

@2/ 'Us against the world' Tagged Abomb. But your a nice guy? Wow.

Ever heard of taking the moral high ground and showing you're better than others by offering some help?

I feel bad for the employees and some of the younger players but I have no sympathy for the fans and lads I work with who thought it was great when we went through our troubles. The fans of SPL clubs spoke loud and clear when they said they would rather their clubs went bust than help Rangers. Seems they are getting what they wanted, deal with it!

5)before I start I'd like you to remember last seasons buzzwords sporting integrity. A few weeks ago an SPL probe found insufficient evidence that hearts sister companies had been liquidated sparing hearts a 15 point deduction and saving them from relegation. Hearts agreed with the finding because they said they were not financially reliant on any of them and were doing fine thank you very much. Two weeks later they enter administration and are deducted 15 points for next season effectively they lied and have cheated Dundee out of their rightful place in the SPL and dramatically reducing their income next season. So if any team should benefit from a money spinning friendly sporting integrity says it should be Dundee not hearts.

Truthfully I always prefer Hearts to Hibs and as a christian both of these things would make me want to show our team and our fans are better than all the conmen crooks and bigots we have suffered. Your average Hearts fan prefers Gers to Celtic and your average Hearts fan is going through the same as we have and we all know how bad that feels, time to show compassion and that we the fans are not all bad. I would attend a game to help the Jambos and I think Ibrox would be near a sell out. A great way to show the right thing to do. george

@8/ How do you know the average hearts fan prefers Rangers to Celtic?

No5 did anyone take the moral high ground with us.

No7 well said couldn't have said it better myself.

@5. like all the help we got whilst in trouble. Hearts had better save their favours for when they require a temporary licence to play in the ramsden cup 2 days later! Oh and when they beg for a chance to replace a 2nd place SPL squad with a few trialists. Hmm let me think. That's right, eff em!

@10: maybe not but it would look good if Rangers did, surely. You bitter and determined that the fans of another club suffer too?

23 Jun 2013 22:26:00
@12: and how did Hearts cause that happening to your club. Yet again, you and others look to blame anyone else for the problems caused by the owners of Rangers and, in some part, the inaction of fans.

@13 suppose it would look good for us to give em a benefit match. Win win for us then. Look good or feel good!
