Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


25 Jan 2020 22:03:04
Anyone else think Siriki Dembele would be a good signing for us?



26 Jan 2020 10:10:02
Any striker of world class would be great for us if it got us to win the league.

However as there is no mystery billionaire as rumoured we have to make do what little we have.



25 Jan 2020 21:10:16
Was looking at the ticket prices for the stmirren game. The minimum was £29! Maximum £34! This is an absolute disgrace for a small team. Thoughts please.



25 Jan 2020 21:25:56
Jason, stay at home pal.



25 Jan 2020 22:35:58
Same for all minnows, if you followed us for years u might know.



26 Jan 2020 11:18:32
What a way to treat one of your fellow supporters guys! Take a look in the mirror!



26 Jan 2020 12:31:58
Nae loyalty Jason brown. fair weather friends! Haha.



26 Jan 2020 13:12:50
Jason what is your point ticket prices are the same.



25 Jan 2020 21:06:38
Celtic are trying to replace scott brown with david turnbull. Should we try and steal him instead? The same way we missed out on brown ten years ago?



25 Jan 2020 22:18:15
Turnbull is a vastly different type of player to that f*nny brown and no, we shouldn't try to sign someone because c*ltic are interested in the player.



26 Jan 2020 08:04:32
David turnbull with all due respect to the player, wouldn't get near our midfield at this moment in time!



26 Jan 2020 11:20:00
Davis isn't going to last for ever and kamara may leave in a year or so! These players need to be replaced!



25 Jan 2020 20:08:58
First time poster, did anyone else see Jimmy Boulard and Fenners both do the Alfi throat cutting gesture on soccer Am this morning.



25 Jan 2020 20:31:20
Aye, its banned for 4 weeks haha.



25 Jan 2020 19:58:48
I'm convinced the best strikers in SPFL are mostly from warmer origins.

I feel as has been said on here, we should abandon winter football now as it is bound to affect these players more than it does native Brits.



25 Jan 2020 20:54:01
Yeh I can't believe mccoist was born in Barbados.



25 Jan 2020 20:59:24
Lets have the womens game during the summer, year round football! Everyones a winner!



25 Jan 2020 21:00:49
Oh and kris boyd the sun burned equadorian.



25 Jan 2020 19:52:27
So stevie g had us believe no signings in january. then he goes and pulls it out the bag. DEFOE 🎅☃️🎅☃️🏆🏆.



25 Jan 2020 20:54:32
Really? 🙄.



25 Jan 2020 21:00:47
It was an open secret to be fair. Great striker pops up when you need him.



26 Jan 2020 08:41:41
Southend rangers, AYE REALLY. Have u not been reading the news. chill out mate. only posted for a joke. i'm on the Rangers banter page.



25 Jan 2020 17:59:12
Shankland scoring again today. Ed could you run a pol please? Would you like to see Rangers sign Shankland, yes or no? Much appreciated.



{Ed033's Note -


Shankland Poll

25 Jan 2020 18:38:03
Have to say that he is a goal machine much in the way Morelos was in Finland.

Will Shankland be able to step up and fill Alf's boots? Don't think he is up there but I don't see many other dead certs on the horizon that we might steal for £1m.

Cheap wages, I'd back him as 2nd or 3rd choice striker as a minimum.



25 Jan 2020 20:02:04
Imo shankland is a no brainer. Granted the step up is a big one but what he has can't be taught. The next level for him would come from the coaching. Training and acces to experiece he would get at ibrox. If he can't cut it he wouldn't be the first. But that could be said for a 5-10m signing if we brought one in. Worth giving him the chance.



25 Jan 2020 20:56:01
A no brainer at a reported £2m? 🤔.



26 Jan 2020 08:34:44
The closest shankland would get to our first time atm is in training.



26 Jan 2020 12:34:32
Shankland. a snip!



26 Jan 2020 15:10:16
Ref Nicky Clark.



25 Jan 2020 17:32:00
Not a rumour bears, but looking for your opinion on this. Windass is available from Wigan for £500k. Would you take him back? Personally I think he would be good on the right side of the attack for us, would offer what Kent does on the left, and is able to come narrow too.



25 Jan 2020 17:54:57
It's because of guys like him that we haven't won anything in years. The time for losers is gone. Terrible attitude and not a huge amount of ability.



25 Jan 2020 17:54:59
100%. no. good 10min spell every 90. Absolute robbery us getting 2.5mill for him to be honest. he's now playin at his level. struggling to get in wigan starting 11. He didn't want to play wide here hence why he left.



25 Jan 2020 17:58:13
He had his chance, remember he wants to be a nine.



25 Jan 2020 18:06:51
He's nowhere near good enough for us, simple as that. Him and his dad thought he was a lot better than he actually was!



25 Jan 2020 18:20:32
A million percent no.



25 Jan 2020 19:24:46
Couldn't agree more COI/ coop👍.



25 Jan 2020 19:48:10
The invisible man! No!



25 Jan 2020 20:57:28
I think we can all come together to agree windass is not the answer.



25 Jan 2020 21:04:02
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂.



25 Jan 2020 13:08:23
Pleased to see we have Defoe on permanent deal next season, good for 15-20 goals I'd say.
Fantastic pro.



25 Jan 2020 13:39:03
Spot on John, he is a model professional, and will stay beyond his year I hope in a Forward Coaching Roll.



25 Jan 2020 13:44:55
I think your right re him staying longer.



25 Jan 2020 15:13:10
Very happy bear today, with the announcement that our current loanee striker jermain defoe has signed a pre-contract for 1 year permanent contract to remain with rangers beyond his current loan deal, which of course finishes at the end of this season. Wee defoe is in great shape still, at 37 years old and is a total thoroughbred! He's brilliant to have about the place for the development of our young players into the bargain. Not to mention although he's our no.2 striker behind alfredo, he hasn't lost his tremendous goalscoring traits and has a terrific 1 in 2 goal ratio with us. A total model pro who will IMO get a coaching job within ibrox once he hangs up his boots. He can easily still play up here for another 2 or 3 years at least. Really delighted with this news, as there were reports he had offers from a good few clubs in england, but was desparate to stay with us, as he loves everything about rangers! 👍😀😀.



25 Jan 2020 19:25:06
Great news👍.



25 Jan 2020 20:58:36
Definitely good news.



25 Jan 2020 11:19:13
It was a cracking goal that young Nesbitt scored for The Pars last night - running with the ball, passing players and the skill to strike it past the gk was a joy to watch. I it would be a no-brainer for Rangers to sign him and Dundee Utd's Shankland - would not cost a lot with minimal risk.



25 Jan 2020 12:33:50
We're shipping far better players out, there's no interest at all here.



25 Jan 2020 13:03:03
Tell me, when do we know that there is interest? We are mostly surprised when Rangers make a signing, so not interest’ does not mean anything tbh.



25 Jan 2020 13:42:46
I disagree that we're shipping far better players out, we have some players on our books who were overrated, and needed shifting. Players can be developed by playing in the first team, I would like to see some of our younger players getting more game time, even in a cameo roll.



25 Jan 2020 14:00:05
Infer - would like to see to or three of our youngsters given game time.



25 Jan 2020 14:42:54
I'm at ayr game today so will be keeping a close eye on wee stephen kelly. he's been excellent any time I've watched him this season think he may have a chance has a bit of everything.



25 Jan 2020 15:20:35
Give us an update on Kelly later. I know his father well.



25 Jan 2020 15:27:47
Started well john. Just skipped by a couple n put one on a plate big striker missed a sitter. Jordan Houston been excellent at rb 👍.



25 Jan 2020 16:17:20
Just scored john 👍 great pressing won it high clean through, lovely composed finish.



25 Jan 2020 17:13:16
Herewego this guy should make it to first team, highly rated by coaching staff.



25 Jan 2020 18:44:02
Got sponsors mom, saw a fair bit of him he's impressed me every time. Great learning experience playing against some monsters in that league for quite a wee lad. Has a wee bit of everything tho controlled the tempo of game for ayr lovely use of the ball.



25 Jan 2020 19:10:30
See u Jimmy. United saying they want 2-5 million, would u pay that for a third choice striker.



25 Jan 2020 19:14:48
Great update Herewego55.

Young Kelly should be back at Ibrox next season and along with Patterson in first team squad.



25 Jan 2020 19:28:55
hope he gets proper chance at rangers.

wdw.



26 Jan 2020 08:33:27
Wilkins. He will get a proper chance if he earns it. I believe he will go far in the game.



25 Jan 2020 10:04:57
Still think we need another striker and attacking midfield player no disrespect to Jermaine Defoe but we could do with a good old hatley.



25 Jan 2020 10:45:25
No disrespect to yourself but we don’t play football to suit a target man. 👍.



25 Jan 2020 11:14:35
Not many Hatleys in the modern game.



25 Jan 2020 11:29:52
Morelos is a target man lol.



25 Jan 2020 13:51:56
Haven’t seen many long balls punted up to Morelos for him to header / control, pass into the path of another striker c_of_ibrox like the famous partnership of Hateley and Super Ally considering we don’t play 2 upfront?



25 Jan 2020 14:46:28
You haven't? Every game I watch, balls get fired to Morelos who holds up play and brings others into the game. You saying Morelos isn't a target man lol what is he then?



25 Jan 2020 16:02:58
Not in the old fashioned sense of a Hateley. No I wouldn’t say he is a target man. He offers so much more.
He’s prepared to run at defenders himself or even run the channels.
And I’ve very rarely seen Morelos pass! He’d prefer to shoot from 40 yards! 😂.



26 Jan 2020 08:04:37
I agree with you both in a sense lol. I also think we need a striker with better aerial ability, maybe not to mainly use as a target man because we only play one up front but we do put a lot of high balls into the box which when we have Defoe on is pointless unless it is pinpoint, most of them are not but someone who has a few extra inches and the aggression to win it could make better use of those crosses. It would also be a useful tactic to have when teams park the bus and we are struggling to break teams down.



26 Jan 2020 08:33:42
Alfredo is a pressing forward not a target man.



25 Jan 2020 09:27:39
Arfield has been an effective player for us however I am going to stick my neck out and say we need an upgrade on that sort of position to win this league. There are going to be a number of games where we just need that wee bit more quality in that position.



25 Jan 2020 09:51:55
1st and foremost he's a centre mid. he's doesn't play at his best on the right. He just cannot get into the centre mid at the min which is our strongest area.



25 Jan 2020 12:09:44
Arfield made a big diff when he came on against saints . always probing . jack . Kamara and Davis all holding generally with little penetration
Loving the team just now . usually on a downer by now . fingers crossed we can keep it going.



25 Jan 2020 12:30:50
Ps if we can just hold on till next weekend and get 100% results till then, we have a chance of going top of the league if we beat Aberdeen at Ibrox next sat.



25 Jan 2020 12:40:55
Just listening to tam Cowan there . he said as soon as he saw Griffiths taking the tape off and throwing it he said to himself . “ that boy really has to pull his socks up “
Brill.
