Happy 43rd birthday Fernando. Prey for you to see 55 on two fronts. A true hero and fighter on and off the pitch.



27 Jul 2019 23:29:21
God bless you fernando ricksen And keep fighting. You have the heart of a warrior. Seeing what this cruel illnesses has done to you only strengthens my feelings that football comes second a mile off,
behind these sort of things! No human being deserves this!



27 Jul 2019 23:46:08
Fernando👍.



27 Jul 2019 21:08:26
If bombscare worrall is quoted at being worth 11million tav must be worth at least 30million.



27 Jul 2019 23:22:53
Jeezuz, who quoted bombscare at 11 million? It's time we valued our players accordingly. I think and I hope Tav and Morelos stay unless we're forced to sell to pay Ashley. I understand Tav doesn't want to leave .



27 Jul 2019 20:32:20
Was that Jamie Murphy playing at Mansfield today? thought he was injured again or was that just a load of bollix from the anti rangers media? , Will they ever learn? Rangers are here we never left and will never go away! this is our season fellow bears! Now back to my pint.



27 Jul 2019 21:52:25
Brian yes he played.



27 Jul 2019 19:41:12
Just watched the development squad game vs man utd. What a lesson utd gave us. Seriously men against boys. Every area of the park they looked fitter, technically better, stronger.
We have a long way to go to reach that level. A good lesson for our boys. I feel games like this will only help with their development as it will give them a better idea of the levels they need to get to, to succeed in the game at our club.



27 Jul 2019 20:39:02
Huge, difference between the two, sides even for a friendly
I think when we can get youngster
Up to that level then we cam think
About competing in europe again.



27 Jul 2019 21:01:42
You could see it a mile away . The utd boys even in terms of size were far superior. Technically different class. We were well off it . Harsh lesson but they and we as a club must learn this us our future . We must invest in the young lads and give them a chance to get to a decent level and hopefully we can take the cream and get them into the first team .



27 Jul 2019 21:56:03
I know they took a beating but that was man utds under 21s and our development squad were mainly playing against Macclesfield today so I think it would have closer if they had the full team.



27 Jul 2019 22:31:09
Guys most of our 19s and 20s were involved in the Mansfield game today. We had mainly 16/ 17 year olds up against Man Utd 21s so the size and development gap was always going to be the case and was expected. That game can’t be used as any kinda gauge or marker.



28 Jul 2019 07:49:25
Everyone talking like Halliday has huge worth to club. He's run of mill pro who's only worth is stop gap in numerous positions. We have that with better players than Halliday. His time is over.



28 Jul 2019 12:00:31
Millerbrandwilson, regarding andy halliday, that was a snide remark. Leave that kind of remark to the unwashed. We should be better than that.



27 Jul 2019 08:53:45
Ed, poll please.

Should Hallidays contract be extended

Yes
No.



{Ed033's Note -


Halliday Poll

27 Jul 2019 20:20:13
As much as he has improved under sg if we could get a decent fee then we should take it.



27 Jul 2019 20:42:05
Most definitely andy halliday should and will get a new contract. He never let's you down can cover a few positions and you need someone like andy, within the squad. He won't play every week, but he knows that. But i'll tell you this, there's a lot he brings to the squad and a good few can take a leaf from his book. He gives everything for the rangers jersey and his will and attitude is spot on and is something gerrard loves. He's been on record many times praising halliday and calls him a rangers nut. He's got some heart which our club needs.



27 Jul 2019 21:09:39
SGL we r trying to improve, we want to win league,
He has had his chance, time to move on at end of contract and bring in someone better.



27 Jul 2019 22:30:48
John 25, what piece of my post do you not understand pal? Andy halliday should be part of our squad and i stated he'll not be a first team regular. We have a current left back called barisic who's undoubtedly talented but no heart. Think about what i'm saying.



27 Jul 2019 23:30:45
Neither of them are good enough if we want to win the league.



28 Jul 2019 00:04:41
Cheers Mols, I can’t get if somewhat loads of heart give him a contract.
I’ve, I bet you and SGL have loads of heart, but not good enough, so get better players In Use the little money we have wisely.



27 Jul 2019 23:29:51
Andy is what our club is founded on. A normal kid that's come from not much to achieve something above everybody's expectations. To be put down at every turn and loaned out to middle earth. Humiliated by his opponents supporters and the media. Only to come back and fight for his club no matter what, on the pitch a warrior and off the pitch a gentleman, a true Ranger if I've ever seen one.



28 Jul 2019 08:46:03
Do you remember Alan Hutton? Some Rangers fans gave him pelters week in week out for some reason, then we sold him for 9 million and he's played at the top level ever since. Andy Halliday has the heart of a lion and would put his body on the line to stop a goal against us and is easily the best left back at Ibrox. I for one would give him a 3 year deal and would be happy to have him as our left back.



28 Jul 2019 09:10:31
What bit do you guys not understand here? I never said andy halliday should be in our starting 11,i never said because he has the heart for the battle that he should be in our starting 11,i never said andy was a world-beater, all i did say was i think he deserves a new contract to be part of our squad, as he can cover a few positions if we get injuries or players lose form. Since steven gerrard became our manager, andy halliday hasn't let anyone down, when he's played. Steven gerrard also said as much regarding what he thinks of halliday. So go try and put words in the manager's mouth. IMO halliday should and i think will get a new contract, AS PART OF A SQUAD AND TO COVER! There you go.



28 Jul 2019 10:30:58
Comparing halliday to hutton. Brilliant. Incoming 10mill bid from premiership for our 3rd choice left back.



28 Jul 2019 10:47:00
Paul86 you said it OUR. Look it up.



28 Jul 2019 11:41:54
I'd give halliday another contract. He has proven that he can provide more than adequate cover at LB and as coop said he has heart which goes a long way. 👍.



28 Jul 2019 13:04:54
Lads please don’t confuse my opinion of AH as being critical of him as he has made the best of average talent and his heart and commitment has helped him stay at Ibrox longer than probably he expected. I would like nothing better than a boy from Copland Rd to be first choice left back

The point is that when previously we were good enough to win the league we had Sasa Papac, Arthur Numan or David Robertson. This is the standard we need to win the league. If he remains and gets a contract he will always be supported because of his commitment and being a supporter but if he plays on regular basis it highlights the weakness of team/ squad and I don’t think we can win the league with that standard of player in any position.



28 Jul 2019 13:20:20
Correct Mols.



28 Jul 2019 14:19:39
He wasn't good enough for Bradford city.



27 Jul 2019 18:55:09
Our young lads trailing 4-0 to Man Utd in NI. Man Utd are a much bigger an stronger team, some of the play was good to watch, we've had a couple of chances, but finding it hard.



27 Jul 2019 19:12:47
Irvger not one player in that team looked like they could progress.



27 Jul 2019 19:34:44
We had a squad at Mansfield as well today, maybe that's depleted the boys a bit?



27 Jul 2019 20:11:28
Pdot agree mayo Houston Mcpake all in Mansfield. Three good lads.



27 Jul 2019 15:55:23
I think bringing in the manager was the best thing rangers have done in a long time.
its allowed us to bring in top players and have got celtic running scared of us.
I believe we have our best chance of winning the league this season.
if we win the league this time, the manager will stay to have a crack at the champions league, if we don't sg will go on to manage another club.
then we will be lucky to find an other manager like him.

celtic would love to have him if they were honest.



27 Jul 2019 16:23:38
Graham, I agree with you about our Manager and I also believe he may walk if he doesn’t win the League this season although you never no? To go into a 3 rd season for him not winning the title in the previous 2 might be to much pressure and many clubs around would snap him up! To this day I am still amazed we have Mr Gerrard in charge and let’s hope it works out for him🇬🇧.



27 Jul 2019 16:40:23
Just reiterating what you guys are saying. Very proud that steven gerrard is the rangers manager. He brings a fantastic professionalism to rangers, as the guy is a total winner throughout his football career. His name is iconic worldwide and that most definitely gives you a much better chance when we're trying to sign players, other clubs want.
With us being his first job he's obviously starting his managerial career at a massive worldwide institution where 2nd best is as well as being last! Very high pressure job, but steven gerrard embraces pressure and won't run away from it! I totally agree with you yately1,when you state you still feel amazed he is our manager. I get that mate because i feel the same thing! He will IMHO go on to become a terrific manager and he and us bears will always point to the fact that he started as a manager with the famous glasgow rangers! I think he will win silverware this season and it could be the league, because we will run the eastend mob close, i feel. Really impressed with the quality of squad stevie G is assembling. The last piece of the jigsaw for this season i hope is ryan kent. Because like coldo says often on here, i think if we can bring him back even on a season long loan deal, he would be the best we would have, for his position. I rate and like ojo, jones, murphy and hastie, but truth be told, kent is better than any of them. Again that is only my honest opinion.



27 Jul 2019 17:00:29
Get kent, play defoe up top, flanagan at left back. League is in the bag. Ie, mcgregor tav goldson katic flanagan jack kamara davis arfield kent defoe👍. Aribo edmundson could easily be in there. That team would tear this league to bits, infact that team was more consistent over 7 games where we dominated and blew teams away. Last done by a rangers team in 2011. Before that team was put together just before the split we stuttered and struggled with inconsistency. 👍.



27 Jul 2019 17:05:20
Go Stevie boy go . Liverpool next for him after he wins us two in a row . a Scottish Cup And two league cups . that would mean we win a treble lol.



27 Jul 2019 17:57:45
Just got off a flight from Florida and watched the Stevie G film Make Us Dream. it’s diff class and shows the type of man he is, a born winner, loyal and his passion and respect for his upbringing shines through. He will return home after he brings us success, he was born a winner.



27 Jul 2019 18:29:09
Coldo are you ok mate? not only a positive post I'd go so far as to say a Euphorically positive post, love it. keep taking the tablets. Agree with every word you say.



27 Jul 2019 19:06:34
I have been saying that should be the team since last season bluepete and that we never seen any real progress until just before the split when that team destroyed the best in the spl with ease. I'm glad people are finally listening, took your time to be fair but better late than never mate😩👍.



28 Jul 2019 09:40:59
Coldo, agree mostly with what you say and your team. I do think that Helander will play with Goldson though, we are not going to pay 3m or so for a player and then not play him! I also think Morelos is seen by SG as number 1 striker and will start most games, unless a big offer comes in of course! Really hope we get Kent back too, opposition defences are terrified of him!



28 Jul 2019 11:46:23
We paid 2mil for grezda and never played him angus. We paid 2mil for barasic and we shouldn't be playing him. Until helander proves that he is better than katic or goldson then katic and goldson start. Same applies to ojo or any other new player. 👍.



28 Jul 2019 12:32:35
Fair point coldo 👍 hopefully we can get off to a flyer next week, quietly confident for season ahead.



28 Jul 2019 13:51:23
Coldo, bet Ojo starts most of the time since he likely is guaranteed playing time as part of the load deal.



28 Jul 2019 14:37:15
Every chance geesadodothat, hopefully he gets his finger out because he is yet to impress👍.



27 Jul 2019 15:09:36
Rangers under 23s beaten 4-2. Greg Stewart scored.



27 Jul 2019 13:45:47
Firth Murphy Stewart Hastie Dorrans all playing at Mansfield.



27 Jul 2019 14:26:04
This game on rangers tv.



27 Jul 2019 14:58:27
Orange don’t think so. Man U v rangers academy on bbc ni later.



27 Jul 2019 12:28:14
Although still very early days, but already george edmundson looks to be a bargain signing at 700k. When it was rumoured we were very keen on hearts centre half john souttar, i personally thought he would be a good signing and was at a good young age,
to be developed into a very good centre half,
if we had went on to sign him. But now already in the games i've seen edmundson play, i think he's a cut above souttar and i'm delighted our DOF mark allen and our scouting team identified him. He looks an absolute steal at 700k and with futher development at ibrox, looks like he could go on to be a cracking centre half.



27 Jul 2019 15:14:08
Had a good game the other night, looks the part so far.



27 Jul 2019 12:05:54
The footballing Oracle Jackie McNamara has been sharing his football wisdom on all things rangers again. The gift that just keeps on giving.



27 Jul 2019 14:05:22
That guy is an obsessive, paranoid wreck, regarding all things the famous glasgow rangers! That other lot just can't help themselves, nosing over the fence all the time. Very sad people but at the same time funny, as it clearly is ALL about the rangers! 😂😂.



27 Jul 2019 15:17:20
It won't be long until they set up a go fund me page for the fat rat. 600mil is the target and anything left over they will use to try and get our titles😲👍.



27 Jul 2019 11:29:23
Where can rangers expand ibrox? Surely it must be filling the corners.



27 Jul 2019 18:47:21
My opinion is corners are huge loss in revenue. Personally never watch screens because too far away anyway but IAH believe 10,000 more season tickets in lost revenue. There is revenue in advertising but how much don't know.



27 Jul 2019 18:59:39
Lowering the pitch to add some additional rows is one option being muted.



27 Jul 2019 09:13:12
IF he have the chance of sell Tav to Newcastle then we must use it to our advantage to get Ashley and SD out the picture once and for all.

Tav to Newcastle after what's been happening I think its all BS never sell him to Newcastle.



27 Jul 2019 14:18:43
Selling Tav to Newcastle is a business deal between Rangers and them. It has nothing to do with SD!

27 Jul 2019 09:55:19
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 27th July 2019



27 Jul 2019 07:47:52
Hope we don't sell tav. does anyone else think we need one more striker? Defoe great but it's a long tough season remember!



27 Jul 2019 08:45:25
defo tommy - we need another striker no doubt

if fredo has an off day we’re up against it. As good a finnisher as defoe is by his own admission he’s not running channels at his age and creating chances for others

i’d luv a target man in our squad a la hateley dado or jelavic - back to goal type player hold it up win flick ons and knock downs we need options final 1/ 3 to win 55

just my take on it.



27 Jul 2019 08:54:40
Should have kept Hardie as back-up!



27 Jul 2019 09:27:25
Doiger u never give up.



27 Jul 2019 09:52:02
Never be good enough doigor, get over it. Boy will get lost down there n end up at a Brechin or the like.



27 Jul 2019 09:55:45
The boy Hardie done the right thing leaving to hopefully play every week and develop wasn't going to get that at rangers . trev no 7 I'm with you regarding the type of striker I think we need!



27 Jul 2019 11:14:43
A Dado Prso type would be perfect for us right now.



27 Jul 2019 12:48:38
Defoe does run the channels, a lot more than morelos. He also creates more for others as morelos tends to hold the ball and go for it himself. I do agree a jelavic / hately type would be a great addition. 👍.



27 Jul 2019 12:53:41
Gerrard will use stewart as the 3rd striker. he has already said he's not looking to replace Lafferty in thr squad.



27 Jul 2019 18:44:03
that's right as the modern striker doesn't like playing and thrives on that.



28 Jul 2019 13:58:23
Coldo is Defoe your love child, answer me this then why does our manager not agree and starts and will start Morelos most games. Or maybe our manager is just crazy and can't see what you see.



27 Jul 2019 01:09:43
Interview with stewart robertson, states that they are currently exploring options to add more seats at ibrox bringing the capacity up to 55k. Not bad for a club who is supposed to be worried about Sports direct and heading for admin again. Well done rangers, best way to respond to the circus👍.



27 Jul 2019 05:56:39
Hope its true, very easy to say though.



27 Jul 2019 07:38:36
delighted to hear it coldo - extra revenue long term

so another 3k seats - but where corners?



27 Jul 2019 09:28:05
Trev capacity just now is 50 k.



27 Jul 2019 09:57:27
Would love this to happen maybe even 4/ 5 thousand extra seats would be phenomenal.



27 Jul 2019 18:41:17
No trev, another 4183 seats.



27 Jul 2019 01:03:11
Think selling tav for any less than 7 million is a slap in the face I agree not the best defender but goals and assists speak for themselves and BTW think Kent will happen and hope to god brown tries to get wide again haha w. a. t. p.



27 Jul 2019 06:24:15
Any less than £10m more like let the bidding start at 10.



27 Jul 2019 07:15:37
His assists more like. anybody can take a penalty. I do think he would be missed as when he drives forward he opens the game right up. If he cuold defend well bidding wod start at 20mill.



27 Jul 2019 07:44:09
The bidding for Tav should start at 15million . If we accept any less I will be raging!



27 Jul 2019 09:05:13
£7 million?, come on. That lot knocked back £25m for an injury prone KT - why do we constantly under value our players.



27 Jul 2019 10:28:46
Think before we all start putting a fee on players let's maybe consider the fee we would need to pay for a same standard player to replace who we may sell I'm sure we would not want to downgrade on what we have in the squad .
