Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


28 Apr 2018 22:58:03
The mirror reporting that Gerrard has said yes to the Rangers job. Don't know how much truth is in it.



29 Apr 2018 05:56:13
If Gerrard is ouŕ next manager then maybe he could do a deal with Liverpool and return Rossiter!



29 Apr 2018 07:44:02
Another rookie manager, our board are a shambles.



29 Apr 2018 08:29:09
McCoist the knife, are you having a laugh? Stevie G is an amazing bit of business by King and he should be applauded. Listened to TalkSPORT on Friday night and for around an hour all they talked about was the Gers and SG! Also spoke to a few Tim’s at work and they are raging we are getting him and it’s real positive news for Rangers FC.
If he gets a good no 2 into help him, he will cope well and encourage a good footballer to our club😀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



29 Apr 2018 08:55:48
100% mate would be a great move



29 Apr 2018 08:58:14
I didn’t but think he’ll take the job but if he does he’ll be sacked before the season ends. a Rookie manager is not winning the league with our budget!



29 Apr 2018 09:03:28
time will tell, but don’t trust kings and co’s judgement, if Gary McAllister is no2 will he be a strong no2?



29 Apr 2018 09:10:42
Total nonsense lay of the funny fags



29 Apr 2018 09:49:47
How do we know what budget he will have? The days of us attracting a big name experienced manager are gone who exactly do you have in mind? Some of the names being mentioned on here smacks of desperation I personally think it's a risk but so was Souness I'm sure Lennon was at Celtic but sometimes it can be just what is needed, he's young his name is worth it's weight in gold to the club his contacts will surely help players who would not have come before will want to be in same dressing room as him in the position we are in it just might be a master stroke let's get behind him and the team I hope we have exciting times ahead



28 Apr 2018 22:46:20
Just seen an article from the express showing what are team could be tomo but they had fod in goal and Alves who I'm sure are both out then a pic of Barry mackay with the name Greg docerty under it and sean goss starting lol why are they getting people to rite about us who haven't a clue about us!



28 Apr 2018 21:52:39
Just heard some worrying news that DJ has a broken wrist and Halliday will start at left back.



28 Apr 2018 23:29:21
He broke his hand at training on Fri. Don’t know if they will risk playing him in a cast so looking likely Halliday will slot in to LB.



29 Apr 2018 07:28:33
Surely Hodson would be better at left back?



29 Apr 2018 09:58:51
ArthurD, it won’t matter wether it’s Hodson or Halliday because they are both mince, really not looking great for us today at all



28 Apr 2018 21:37:18
Fellow bears just a thought if Gerrard takes the job do you think big fernando Torres is a potential target as he would be a free transfer.



28 Apr 2018 22:13:22
My source has already told me contact has been made with his agent. Balls in his court.



28 Apr 2018 22:25:39
Fernando Torres😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂



28 Apr 2018 22:38:55
Really I would love the big fella at ibrox



28 Apr 2018 23:01:14
My source, contact made with Torres, SG hasn’t even been appointed yet 😂😂😂😂😂



29 Apr 2018 03:14:54
Absolute class on here sometimes all these people with "contacts" at thend club. Fernando torres will still be on about 80 grand a week. Wise up n stop giving people ammunition Fernando torres will be nowhere near ibrox



28 Apr 2018 21:26:21
Gregory Vignal joining the back room staff with Gerrard.

Strange that Vignal only joined a few months ago in youth team capacity.

Could this whole gerrard thing have been in the pipeline for a while now? .

He's in getting a feel for who in the academy has potential etc.

Could be coincidence and putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.



28 Apr 2018 20:52:17
Neil Warnock being interviewed after today's win " that's what I'm good at, I enjoy building clubs back up ". Get him in . If Stevie G comes in I'll give him 100% backing but i believe it's Warnock that will take us back to where we belong.



28 Apr 2018 21:21:23
Scotty123,if stevie G says yes, then its his job! that's it mate, nobody else will get it! So really can't see anyone else being interviewed until we get steven gerrard's decision! Its his job if he wants it!



28 Apr 2018 21:32:25
I agree mate Gerrard if a player wouldo have been and a massive statement but as a manager it's just another huge gamble. One I eould say we can't afford. Experience essential this time



28 Apr 2018 22:30:03
when graeme souness came in at a time when we were not doing well poeple all said the same thing the rest is history steve g gets my backing



28 Apr 2018 22:37:05
Supercoop, what an embarrassment this would be again for our club if Stevie Gerrard knocks back the job. First we had the McInnis fiasco and now the spotlight is on Gerrard. I feel this process is totally unprofessional and disrespectful to Graham Murty.



28 Apr 2018 23:21:17
stevie G, massive massive gamble if he takes the job but will back him if that’s the decision, personally I’d like Neil Warnock to take charge if possible



28 Apr 2018 23:33:04
Supe I’m still not sure it’s going to happen, he’s wanting assurances about cash he will have to spend, until I see Stevie G with scarf above his head I’m going to be sceptical. If he is to be our next manager then it’s a a bold move.



28 Apr 2018 23:35:14
Was murty not told he had job till end of season. Where was it mentioned he would be there any longer . I don't think it's disrespectfull for one minute. He should be grateful he got a shot at this in the first place. He new it would end. Has it been successfull . I don't think so as we are fighting now to make sure we r not fourth. Success would have been wrapping up second by now which hasn't happened due to losing 8 games at ibrox which is a horrific record.



29 Apr 2018 03:18:37
Queens 11 look at the difference in the club. Gerrard is hardly going to be able to buy half the england starting 11. It's a lot bigger a risk this time given the state of our finances and the way the last 3 appointments have gone. It's not even a comparison mate



29 Apr 2018 08:39:23
To be fair to the club it is hard to keep something like this secret, especially such a high profile appointment. There are so many people within both clubs and in the press where they will put their spin on things. It is a gamble, no doubt, but with fresh investment reportedly coming in it has certainly got people talking about us (as if they Don't already! ) . Stevie will need to be thick skinned to handle the haters up here but I think he will be fine with that as he is an almost Souness like character imo with an awesome reputation who loved a tackle. Like Souness he was a great player, an iconic figure to the Liverpool fans. Really looking forward to the close season if he signs as expected. Exciting times indeed!



28 Apr 2018 20:30:24
Any tips on boozers in paphos lads I'm in Olympic lagoon Hotel!? Be watching the match with a few of THEM.



28 Apr 2018 19:50:31
Is gerrard coming or not? Folk seem to have lots of different answers all from very reliable source.



28 Apr 2018 20:04:17
I think that's the problem, everyone apparently has a source and each source is saying different things.

Let's focus on tomorrow then worry about Gerrard.



28 Apr 2018 20:08:37
Because none of them really know the only person that knows is Steven Gerrard



29 Apr 2018 00:09:07
I spoke to a good source tonight. a journalist and he didn't know . its his job to know so if he doesn't know then we really are all guessing. Good news was that he didn't laugh and say no!



28 Apr 2018 19:22:53
What a strange lead up to an old firm game. Nobody really talking about smeltic at all just Stevie G next Rangers manager. No talk about Tactics or formation. Its all about the Rangers love it!



28 Apr 2018 18:25:27
There must be a Beatles tune in there 4 the new Stevie G tune. IMAGINE the possibilities.



28 Apr 2018 20:03:34
Good idea game of thrones but think we need some HELP! Lol



28 Apr 2018 20:10:20
We all live in a proddy housing scheme.



28 Apr 2018 17:25:51
Dont think pena will come back too scotland the minimum unit price for frosty jacks going up from £3.50 to £11.25
On a serious note mon the bears tomoz.



28 Apr 2018 19:16:35
I think he can afford the extra cost if we are paying him £20k a true testament to the pedro era and another poster boy for the banter years.



28 Apr 2018 20:52:34
Surely done enough to breach the contract



28 Apr 2018 17:21:07
Is it just me, or have we made a small blunder in having got a new kit supplier deal sorted before this Gerrard appointment? I personally think we could have attracted better brands and more money with Gerrard being out manager



28 Apr 2018 18:15:53
Let’s stick to the positives for a change eh 😂



28 Apr 2018 18:33:51
How about an away strip tribute to Stevie Ger. I’ve always liked rangers away kit when it a red one. A new Hummel red Away top with Gerrard on back but with rangers badge wd be big seller for me.



28 Apr 2018 16:42:51
G Unit.



28 Apr 2018 16:22:54
Think it’s time the gers tore up A few contracts starting with Pena and Alves any others you would cut your losses on



28 Apr 2018 16:54:37
As much as I'd like to see the back of Pena, we can't just go ripping up contracts cause a player is gash, there needs to be a reason. Although I'm sure, given time Pena will give us that reason.



28 Apr 2018 19:24:09
Pena alves herrera hodson halliday dodoo the list could go on



28 Apr 2018 15:47:11
I just hope if Gerrard is the man to come in as manager he doesn't forget himself and join in with that other lot if the start singing the song they hijacked off Liverpool "You'll Never Walk Alone" during his 1st old firm lol although I know he's far to professional for that to happen so I say it young in cheek. I have met Steven Gerrard 4 times and on every occasion he has been a total gentleman like a true working class boy done good. I met him twice with the Liverpool sqaud once with with the England squad and one in Belfast as I was carrying out a bit of work in the waterfront hall where ' An evening with Steven Gerrard' was taking place the same day last year and think I'm not bad at reading people and would say he's a top top guy just wish I'd been able to see this coming and mabey I could've asked him the question of who does he prefer in Scotland the Bears or them and then we could've pit that question to bed.



28 Apr 2018 15:44:35
Twitter rumour no 200 lol
Gmac isn't joining and vignal will be no2.



28 Apr 2018 13:34:51
Anyone got any Stevie Gee song suggestions to keep the Thims going?



28 Apr 2018 15:27:39
Stevie Gerrard' Gerrard'
he can pass the ball
forty yards
he's big and he's
f**king hard
Steve Gerrard' Gerrard'.

Think that's one the Liverpool fans used to sing.

Or

One I just made up in a few minutes lol!

There's only one Stevie G
He's joining the Great R. F. C.
Just like the Gallant Pioneers
To win the title in 2019
Stevie G, Stevie G.



28 Apr 2018 15:38:08
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah stevie Stevie G stevie G stevie stevie G to the tune of give it up by KC and the sunshine band



28 Apr 2018 16:24:56
What about the Blue Gees.

Ah ha ha ha Steven Gerrard, Steven Gerrard
Ah ha ha ha Steven Gerraaaaaard!


I’m sure you can all do better than me lol



28 Apr 2018 17:01:29
Please stop PMSL 😆



28 Apr 2018 17:02:25
How about there's no Stevie G to see, he's not going to sign, so were left with Murteee. LOL.



28 Apr 2018 17:36:50
I can remember when we used t o sing "With heart and hand and Ralphie Brand "

There was also a group of Asians donned in Rangers attire, who would walk down Paisley Road West on match days singing we, ll guard old Delhi, s walls.



28 Apr 2018 20:15:18
It'll be the chorus to Hey Jude,
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, Stevie Gerrard.



28 Apr 2018 13:15:10
This should make you smile bears, supposedly Pena has been sacked from the mexico outfit for pi55ing in a fountain whilst a few too many beers, i see the scottishness has paid off and he's learning now lol.



28 Apr 2018 13:34:14
Certainly doesn't make me smile. Although it was obvious this clown was coming back to us. Unless there's some chance this behaviour could allow us to sack him? Fingers crossed



28 Apr 2018 15:05:00
Maybe Pena will resign😆



28 Apr 2018 15:32:13
Hopefully he can be sacked for breach of contract in that he has brought the club into disrepute with his behaviour whilst being on loan?



28 Apr 2018 15:35:10
Classed as gross misconduct. There may be a chance that we could get rid as ultimately he still represents rangers as we will still pay part of his wage, whether we will or not who knows but we can't have this behaviour mean come on.



28 Apr 2018 11:32:32
Gone are the days where everything is done hush hush and rangers get to announce our own news, this bothers me. we now tend to set ourselves up for an epic fail/ embarrassment! It also bothers me that players/ managers need so much time to decide on becoming a ranger! Follow we will.



28 Apr 2018 12:28:36
Speculation by the media is not the fault of the club and cannot be blamed on the club.



28 Apr 2018 12:33:16
Well they sure speculate more then ever before.



28 Apr 2018 12:50:16
Its not the media speculating, its Jim Traynor spinning yous to sell season tickets. Its the same every year! I'm astonished yous haven't tippled yet😂😂



28 Apr 2018 13:50:09
Traynor left rangers in 2013 so it's nothing to do with him.



28 Apr 2018 17:08:28
Marco C, Jim Traynor stepped down as Director of Communications but LEVEL 5 media who are employed by Rangers is headed up by Jim Traynor on behalf of Walter Smith and Murdo McLeod. Traynor is in and out the Training Centre on Media days I saw him two weeks back before the Hampden fiasco



28 Apr 2018 11:22:39
I listened to Jurgen Klopp about Stevie G yesterday, and had a chuckle when he said " as long as it is not Everton or Man U we will support him" if that had been said by Smith or McCoist that tube McLaughlin on the bbc would have been screaming murder polis, I thought it was great tv and not OMnE journo complained,



28 Apr 2018 09:54:19
Why are we as a group of supporters so easily divided, the old saying is true about us, if three of us washed ashore on a desert island during the night by first light we would have formed FOUR supporters clubs, I love the fact that we ALL have an opinion on what is our take on what is best for the gers, god I never wanted souness to replace big jock but was it the right move, sure was, when he left I wanted a new manager not Walter, but I sure am glad we got him, so good to have an opinion and stick to it but if it is Gerard and McAllister then I will be behind them 100% . Then there is the mhanks who too a man are telling him he would be mad to come here, why, because they like him, no they are scared that they won't be asked to spout their diatribe in the press or on the radio, remember we are all rangers supporters then now and forever. Rant over.



28 Apr 2018 10:09:02
Govan, its a long time since I've witnessed them going into meltdown like this, it really is incredible to watch. Every one of them has an opinion one who should be OUR next manager, and mention Stevie G, well, off they go he's too young, he's too inexperienced, he won't cope with the pressure and so on . The reality is they are watching us turning the corner and can't cope with THAT reality. W. A. T. P.



28 Apr 2018 10:38:00
Govan, that’s simple. there are supporters and there are sunshine supporters.

True supporters support the club through thick and thin - of course we have every right to moan about things but we get behind every player, the manager and the board until is becomes clear that they are doing harm to the club.

Sunshine supporters are not true supporters. They can’t find it within themselves to say anything positive when things are tough. 3 bad misses or 5 bad touches and a player is useless. Keeper makes an error, he’s useless. They are only positive after a run of 10 great results and will boo the team regularly. other teams know that these fan skills will give the team a hard time.

Looking through the threads here, there are 8 or 10 regular sunshine supporters. always bad news, never anything g positive to say. In my book, they are the same as Timalloy and co



28 Apr 2018 10:43:35
Turning the corner? well I suppose yous are ahead of the curve in 3rd place 😂😂😂



28 Apr 2018 10:44:24
And it begins again. The Rangers are coming, Timplosion etc. When will you lot learn. We have 7 league titles in a row to clinch followed by a double treble. Gerrard can take the job if he wants. What I don't get is how you say that Murty in an u20s coach but now a u18s coach with less experience is now the answer to all your problems. Brendan will be sh*tting himself. Nope, we still can't see you coming :)



28 Apr 2018 10:48:14
Jyf. A lot of rangers fans are saying the same things. Wow rangers fans are becoming more paranoid than Celtic fans. Every one on here saying Celtic in meltdown 6 weeks ago and boom looked what happened.



28 Apr 2018 11:14:57
Just think marty and manky, the worst Rangers team in living memory is only 10 points behind you, when we win tomorrow only seven and all this without a manager. We could and should have beaten you in your midden and at Ibrox, that's the margins we are talking about here, not a lot of distance to make up there and next season, with a kick arse manager in charge, we will not only close that gap but open up our own gap with us in front. We will struggle into second place this season with a crap team no manager no money but the best fans in world football so be afraid we are coming.



28 Apr 2018 11:19:09
DK17, you don't have a clue what makes our supporters tick. You are of a mind that everything you are told gets a positive spin. That is your choice, but you must accept that others think differently. I could list many instances where we have been led up the garden path. You would, probably, see that a nice walk, but to me it is just a waste of time and money.
I can take most insults but never compare me, as you did in your last sentence.
In future stick to the banter.



28 Apr 2018 11:28:43
Nota', a lot of Rangers fans saying the same things as mankyboy? don't think so.



28 Apr 2018 11:28:50
I hope Gerrard goes to Ibrox. Great for the profile of the Scottish game. It will encourage Celtic to strengthen even further in the summer. If Gerrard did well the media coverage will improve so maybe more money on tv deal? If however he falls on his face then its back to the drawing board. It really is about getting financial backing. If he takes the job the Rangers are broke issue may be incorrect however if he knocks the job back its for one reason. No cash available. I think after all the hype if he says no its another PR disaster. I don't believe he will take the gig. Think he will distance himself from the job this week. let's see.



28 Apr 2018 11:52:47
Steven Gerrard could be brilliant. Everyone going on about won the champions league the fa cup league cup captain of England. Well here is one for you all to think about. Paul Lambert. Champions league Scottish league Scottish cup league cup. Captained Scotland. It does not make you a great manager.



28 Apr 2018 12:46:32
Not a rumour, who on here said Gerrard will be a great manager? He is high profile and hopefully he can attract high profile players to Ibrox and with the right support around him learn the ropes quickly and take us from strength to strength.



28 Apr 2018 18:54:27
Jyf. Dream on. Delusional as always. You lot are being sold a pup. Can't wait till it turns out he ain't coming. Wonder if you can claim your season ticket cash back? Also hope King can get some change out of his £11mill. He is going to need it for players contracts you need to rip up never mind buying new players. Why would anyone apart from Murty take this job?



28 Apr 2018 09:48:09
Why anyone believes what the dhaily rebel says is beyond me. This paper has had an agenda against us for years and anybody who believes the pish that they spout really needs their head looked at. They are nothing but a biased media group that are only interested in causing unrest with rangers and will do anything to do it



28 Apr 2018 10:13:24
Why are the media wheeling out a never ending stream of ex celtic players what have they got to do with them who is our next manager is and why do the media think we actually care it's so obvious they have an agenda when Brenda goes I'm expecting a raft of ex rangers players saying how managing them is a poisoned chalice anything less than a treble is failure imagine wee Barrys column about that dhims would be apoplectic! aye that will happen!
I hope SG comes and we can work it right up them



28 Apr 2018 10:49:51
Chosen11, it's because they are obsessed with us.



28 Apr 2018 12:12:51
Never a truer word spoken👍



28 Apr 2018 09:47:03
After all this Stevie G talk what's the betting it all falls through and we end up with dirty murty next season?



28 Apr 2018 10:09:46
Wee wager chris?



28 Apr 2018 09:46:06
Carlos pena sacked by cruz azul for urinating in a fountain? What a donkey. How do we get rid of this guy?



28 Apr 2018 10:38:11
Your entitled to disagree but if you don't think we should get rid of the guy then your wrong.



28 Apr 2018 10:45:01
My source tells me Beijing Rehne are about to table an £11m bid for Pena😆



28 Apr 2018 10:52:33
He will likely get sacked by us for the same reason if his behaviour continues



28 Apr 2018 10:53:42
If that's what he's done we can just sack him!
but perhaps he's worth keeping, I understand why people hate him, he looked lazy (like ally or boydy) and his goal celebration would be more at home in the eastend (daughter walked out of Ibrox cause of it), he was never going to win games on his own (Lee McCulloch style) but in a stronger team I think he could be a gem!



28 Apr 2018 11:30:24
ftw, what are you on? A gem? More like a nugget.



28 Apr 2018 08:45:41
All the papers have latched in to king meeting Gerrard and all of a sudden it’s over all the back pages that he is our next manager. but in between Clarke has said no to us. none of this has any proven fact behind it. It’s the usual merry go round our club puts us all through not talking to the fans.



28 Apr 2018 09:10:13
Clark said yesterday he hasn’t been approached by rangers so how could he have said no to us 🤔



28 Apr 2018 09:31:55
blue nose do you really use the record as your source of information?



28 Apr 2018 09:31:56
Would much prefer Clarke. Gerrard and Macallistet sounds too much like Dlaglieish and Barnes to me.



28 Apr 2018 09:32:39
because the media lie to sell papers
