was at the game today, and here are my thoughts. No need for Jela, much better without him. Davis looked back to his best. Edu, i dunno why this guy is disliked, he was superb today. Aluko, different gravy today. Shagger may as well have sat with me as he had heehaw to do. Wylde, cmon son pick it up. Papac n wallace solid as always. gion, bocca, easy as pie today. Bartley, could do better. Healy, working hard, put himself about and scored. One or two signings, the boy Celik looked good. didnt get enough of the ball. But all in all we looked good today, yes it was a hibs side who are rank but even so. without Jela in the team we look promising.....thought?

Against the worst hibs team in spl for many a year, without there 2 strikers, well done rangers

Well if you think McGregor should have sat with you. Who would have set up the 1st goal.

Beating a ten man hibs team is nothing to shout about. They're rank and if beating them means all is rosy at ibrokes, then it's no wonder you's are scotlands shame!

Treble still on for us!

Still the gap!

DazzaBhoy

Beating a team proves we're shameful.
You are a pleb Dazza, no doubt about it. A pleb. Have a wee think about that.

pappy

Dazza, it's your constant need for negativity that's shameful. Do you not get sick of yersel?
Pretty much spot on original poster, Thought the center backs switched off a couple of times but other than that, was really pleased with the performance, Aluko and Edu were immense and was great seeing the Captain being more up for it, getting a brace will have done his confidence the world of good.

i might get stick for saying this, but i think Edu is better than davis. just my opinion. We only need 2 strikers ( BOYD and SALIHI? ), and some decent quality to fill the bench. get rid of mckay, ortiz, healy etc. and utilise players like mccabe, mcmillan, perry etc, i feel sorry for mccabe. he just sits on the bench every game watching healy play badly ... did anyone see him block alukos shot from about 2 yards out today ... hmmm, i did!

to PmacGER

you say I am mental !!

do you actually believe all the tripe that is written here ?
Half the messages are posted by demented Celtic fans, and most of the others are posted by
sad old fartz like me, who have seen most of the good and bad times, and i can assure you if we signed everyone this website mentions we would need old Hampden Park to fit them all in,plus a lottery win to pay their wages
I might be "mental" but for gods sake get a life. When we were kids we ALL wanted to score, so it shouldn't be difficult for a properly trained footballer to play out of position for a while

Mate if you want edu to play up front you need your coupon examined! pmacG

Need a lottery win just to sign 1 trialist more like lol

28 Jan 2012 19:16:12
i like how all celtic fans say gers have a terrible scouting service but yet it dosent stop them stealing are targets.

Stealing! Could your club sign him? You couldn't afford Jagger and he was free!

the carry on that is happening at rangers just now is killing me.as far as i am concerned if "CRAIG WHYTE" sells jelavic he is no rangers fan.how can you sell the best player at the club and say you care about winning the league.we are out of europe because he never had the money to spend on players them and the money he promised to spend was all on getting into europe as that was the money he would have used on players.also the man is bringing trailists to the club but can't give them a deal,this is try to keep the pressure of him of as long as possible.also what happened to the wages david weir "freed up".does anyone remember him saying he would "SPEND" £25 million over 5 years "LIE,LIE,LIE". are we as fans just going to sit back and and let this man take our club back into the dark ages.we need to start asking serious questions.this man has "LIED" from the start and i fear he is only hear to get what he can out the club.i understand some fans saying that he was the only one to come forward but why would you buy a club the size of rangers if you never had the money to finance them.the deal stank from the start.if jelavic is sold the league is over.celtic are getting stronger and stronger,signing new players for the league run in form under our noses and players for next season,they must be killing themselves laughing.if there are no new players at the club by tuesday i hope to see some fans protest at the next home as we have to do something "NOW" before it is too late.

Craig Whyte never lied to you.... The totally biased media did... From Keith Jackson and his off the radar wealth comments to Jim Traynor and the front loaded 25m transfer war chest! All spin from a media desperate to see rangers do well.. I have never heard nor seen Craig Whyte say how much would be spent on transfers I have on the other hand heard him say the club cannit sustain its current wage bill... Blame the scandalous media before you blame anyone else!

Iznt celik using the weir wages now? green jhedi

You all swallowed the off the radar wealth story,whyte is quoted as saying 5m per year with front loading up to 20m if ally needed it.and the scandalous media kept you in the dark about the debt for years cos of a fear of offending murray and losing invites to his "succulent lamb" parties! green jhedi

....Seems even the mhanks love to talk about The Mighty Glasgow Rangers...more Rangers haters than Celtic fans imo..sad !

Whyte doesnt care whether we buy the " last minute sale" thing or not, for some reason he holds us in contempt. He should maybe start to realise we are all in this together and a bit of honesty and respect towards us would go a long way. If he just came out and said due to current circumstances we cant sign anyone as we cant put the long term future of the club into jeopardy, at least we could understand . 1 or 2 seasons without silverware (although not ideal) is a lot better than no club or even a club with a different name. The others had many a season without a trophy but they came through it, it is our turn now and we WILL come through it.

Well said, I think "contempt" is indeed the right work to use.

Whilst not paying Rangers bills and the club having the embarrassment of ending up in court, he (through another company) personally ended up in court over the failure to pay £90k in roffing repairs to his newly purchased Castle Grant, where he lives.

Again enbarrassing, but I think this just portrays the character of the man. He doesn't care who he lies to and doesn't care if they go out of business.

Was at Ibrox this afternoon and heard a rumour that Mr White and Mr Smith will be out of Rangers within the next month (it maybe they will be bought out) has anyone heard anything about this rumour?

The fans .the supporters are rangers football club we have a voice when the truth is known we will have our say bbblue

WHYTE will never come out and tell us anything.the man has done nothing for rangers.all he has done since taking over is tell us "LIES".he said he would stabilise the club,he has not done that,them he said he would invest and spend £25 million on new players over 5 years,£5 million the first year and even upto 10 million to strengthen the squad if it was needed.all he has he spent ,3.25 million up to january and 2.3 million was recouped from the sale of bougherra and money from charlie adam,£250 grand on the boy celik in this window.so really all he has spent is £1.2 million and that is what the papers say the club paid for the players so we can safely say that it is not even that much.it is time this guy told us the truth that he does not have the money and never did have.i think he hoped for champions league money to spend on players.we are now a laughing stock.if he is not willing to spend any of the money that we hear he has them he should do the right thing and put the club back up for sale.the football rich list,came out that the end of last year and he was not in it and the list started at people in football with a forture of £20 million,so if the man does not even have 20 million them how could he spend 25 million on players.i also seen a paper article last week that put rangers debt at 11.5 million,was it not part of the deal that when craig whyte purchased rangers he cleared the debt,so why are we still in debt.it makes you think he only can to rangers to make an "buck" and that was proven when he made andrew ellis a director, another man only interested in getting what he can out the club.i fear for our great club with these men in charge,CROOKS both of them.

You are 100% right.the man does not care what we think or care as fans.he is only interested in getting what he can out the club,a crook.

The last strew for me was when he made ellis a director.this show his hand.ellis is only hear to help whyte make money from the land round ibrox,plain and simple.

Finally the "Ostriches" are pulling their heads out of the sand , Mr Whyte PAYS no one , his mail box is full of red headed bills , he is showing no signs of spending money on players and once he has recovered his money will have no qualms about liquidating Rangers , thats what he does , if his business dealings are anything to go by .

Apart fromthe 11.5m you also owe whyte 18m! he transfered the money to another buisness.thats why he needs cash not cash + players from selling jellavic. green jhedi

I can't believe how many people automatically take everything the media tells them at face value and yet, ironically, try to look past the words straight from McCoist's mouth, and the few statements that Whyte has made. Neither Whyte nor McCoist claimed that they would make the club a super power again. The reality, as far as i can see, is that the club need to cut costs as there is less money coming in as the scottish game is stagnant right now. How can we be spending money on players when there is so little coming in? A certain other club in scotland will undoubtedly pay for their careless spending soon enough. Back the club during this adversity and we'll come through it. I'd like to point out that Whyte paid 18m to cover our debts... some crook he is. Muzz

Muzz: were in fine shape thanks,just worry about your own team.wheres all the buyers for jellylegs?even before the results of the tax case your in deep financial trouble.trialists coming n going every day,your manager hznt a clue how much wages he can afford to pay new players,poss no europe next season,and every week you get deeper n deeper in debt with running costs.whyte never paid 18m to cover your debts its a new rangers company and will still have to be payed,and thats not mentioning the 11.5m debt in your last published accounts.admin will mean at least a 10 point deduction n years of hardship.whyte must love guys like you,lots of posters see him for what he is a shyster.pray for admin mate cos the alternative is a lot worse...green jhedi...MTG

Any of you golden oldies remember the names Jimmy Millar, Derek Parlane, Roger Hynd, Doug Baillie, Derek Johnstone ??
All of them were accomplished strikers but ALL started out at Ibrox as defenders.Is it possible there could be a hidden gemcurrently on our books who could fill the bill until we stabilise ?
I suggest trying Edu up front until Lafferty is back, that would release a midfield spot for Bedoya or McKay to show what they are capable of.
Daft - yes but worth trying never the less :o)

Wee Bill

Your mental mate. PmacGER

Edu upfrOnt. Uv gt to b havin a laugh

Why not use mculloch then he was a striker to start out with, or Little who is a striker but has been playing in defence

Parlane was always a striker.i remember playing against him as kids.green jhedi

Parlane started out as a right half - FACT !!

Good idea... maybe not edu specifically, but it's nice to see someone making proper suggestions instead of pure critisism. Muzz

Well at 15-16 he was a centre forward

28 Jan 2012 16:30:57
I had to chuckle when big Mervan came on...... I guess we don't want that name 'Celik' on the back of his shirt ;) Hopefully he can do well for us.

28 Jan 2012 16:08:03
I hope this tax case is out the way so we can move on or go into administration.don't know how many more transfer windows we can go on like this,at least we will know where we stand nd NO more of whytes lies.

It will be concluded before the next transfer window mate so we will know where we stand come the end of the season

the last 3 seasons under david murray rangers never let the off field antics affect them and not every transfer or trialist was spoke about in public but this season under craig white everything is said in public but not the stuff we want to hear about what he plans for the club and the team is letting that affect our season.

We are under the spotlight more now though

Albeit every transfer window for the last 10 years Mr Murray has been spending money he didn't have , its called cheating pal .

28 Jan 2012 15:00:41
Don't no how true this - been doing some digging an apparently Jelavic's agent has been quoted saying he's going to las Vegas for the UFCfox event Brit Michael bisping fights chael sonnen for a title shot at Anderson silva an rashad evens fights phil Davis for title shot at Jon jones

28 Jan 2012 14:06:12
Says on the sky app that the manky mob r goin to sign brozek . Usual same happened with commons last season we make first move and then they come and sign our targets

How do you know rangers made moves before celtic did?perhaps the mhedia are doing it to make rangers look bad,remember the whole scottish mhedia have an agenda against rangers.or maybe rangers are clueless trying to conclude transfers...oh dear

Mccoists was saying in papers he wanted to team him up with jellavic!!

Sorry mate you're wrong , Pawel Brozek is signing for Celtic ! , not the tax dodging MANKY MOB .

28 Jan 2012 14:00:42
If Hibs win today will McCoist be manager tonight ?

He will be under a lot of pressure if they do , with targets signing for other clubs after he talks about them shows he has no authority at Ibrox and if I was him I would come out and say exactly how he feels ,rather than usual nonsense , what's the worst that can happen ,Whyte sacks him ??

Be lovely if hibs win but get real guys,if they draw thats good enough for me but i wouldnt bet 5p on it. green jhedi

5p saved Jhedi, pop it in yer piggerybank. Duccablue

Already donated it to your fighting fund i think you might need it! green jhedi

any streams for todays game ?

Try Dave or Gold lol

28 Jan 2012 13:38:04
After watching the first half of the Liverpool game I would say Jelavic in comparison to Carroll should be at least worth 20 million. ;)) leethePee

Rangers Team at end of transfer window.

1
Mcgreggor

16 2 18 5
Whittaker Goian Bocanegra Papac


19 8 7 24
Aluko Davis Edu Celik

10
Brozek

9
Jelavic


Yes you saw right, I sayed Jelavic is staying, shocker. Imagine a Rangers fan wanting his club's top goal scorer and the top goal scorer in the SPL to stay, that is terrible. Whittaker will come back in and play at right back with Bartley backing up the defence and Wallace as cover for Papac and Celik.
Brozek could still come on loan, with loan deals away for Broadfoot, Mckay and Ortiz. Surely letting three players exit the club on loan will be enough to keep Brozek for the season, I imagine it would be. And who says we have to pay all of his wages?

To the result for today, cannot see Rangers dropping four points at home in a week, I'd have to say a 2-0 victory with Healy and a Bocanegra or Goian header from a corner with either the second or the first.

Brozek just passed a medical for celtic

Better move brozek out he's a timmy now!

28 Jan 2012 12:22:40
Today's the day we get back in the title race! Today's the day we get our captain back to what we no he is... The best midfielder in this country by a mile...

Title is gone, administration will see to that

Love it when you and the jambos are battered outa existence by debt bb daz.........mind the gap.green jhedi

Right enough profit MacGer. What's the score gonna be at the Jambos game? Duccablue

Stop sucking on those lemons greenjhedi.
Bitter, bitter bhoy!

Rangers signing/trial policy:

Please bring your own boots,shorts,t shirt,socks & your own powerade.

All the above must be either blue or have a Nike tick some where.

You must pay your own flights (heard Ryan air do a £39 return) pay your own taxis to & from the airport/Murray park/ibrox. 

We will pay your expenses at a later day in court in either Edinburgh or Glasgow . Roughly talking about November time tho as we have our own court room now as were never away from them. If we do sign you you need to pay your way into the club. See it as a oath to rangers fc.

Wage demands are high in ibrox just now so we might be only to give you a couple of ££££ pw,such stars like our super duper captin Steve Davis is wearing a mask round the club as he's taking about 20k a week. Also if you play well at our club you could be the next jelavic,who's got the whole EPL chasing him for his autograph on a contract.

Yours truely 

Ally mc chins mccoist 

Lenny

What's with the nike tick? Lenny boy, explain!

Lenny you used to be one of the better posters. Your post is Timalloyesque. Please dont try to be as big a person as him cos youll end up embarressed....

Still the champs Jenny

Seltic fans are on hear telling us they have money, who have they managed to attract? No one but free transfers, at least when we had money we spent it, gazza etc, they only have money because they don't spend it.

When we had money we spent it as well,sutton,hartson,petrov,mjallby,valgaeren,balde only difference is we knew it couldnt continue n thats why we are financially secure and you are dragging trialists in then trying to sell before you can offer deals.what a stupid post.you sound like an"in whyte we truster"

When yous had money to spend! Thats exactly it ya tube it wasnt your money to spend it was the taxmans!! Hence why you have no money to spend now. Some rangers fans are do blinkered it beggars belief!

Blinkered eh? Says the man presuming the money wasn't ours 'before' the court has returned a verdict. get it?
Let me spell it for you. The money was ours to spend unless the court decides otherwise. Or is that too much of an unblinkered view for you. Duccablue.

28 Jan 2012 09:29:17
todays prediction lads :

rangers 3 hibs 0

scorers - celik, davis, healy

james rfc 1980

No goalscorer 16/1

Don't think there is 3 goals in that rangers team, 1-1 I go for.

After last week cant see anything more than a draw

Aw Soooo close big man, Gonna give us a heads up for the next game James. You are a true believer and I salute you. Duccablue

Some you win and some you lose mate, just giving a wee score to see how close or not it gets !

Morning fellow bears
Hope to see Mervs debut today but thats not my post

I think any realistic bear will know that if someone offers the right price for jelly (8 - 10M) then he will be sold and we know that bodies have to be moved on to free up wages before ally can bring in new players

Why should ally therefore not bring some guys over here to have a look at them and be prepared should jelly be sold late on or we get lucky and move one or two bodies out the door

he would then be in a position to make an offer if there are any of the trialists that have caught his eye and will not be panic buying at the last minute

If jelly is not sold or no bodies are moved on, so what, he has still had a look at some potential signings for the future

JG

Who is merv?artybhoy

It's a secret artybhouy

Always assuming the players dont sign for somebody else while mccoist ships out players to free wages.
