Anyone got an update on how the under 16s did last night in the Irish Supercup toournament?



28 Jul 2017 16:52:42
We lost 2-0 to American side GPS Bayern in the semis.



29 Jul 2017 18:29:30
Won 3rd/ 4th place play off on pens after 2-2 draw



28 Jul 2017 14:37:50
Shoot me down but part of me still thinks there's a player hiding somewhere in Windass, he showed promise early on and faded away. I'd give him till Christmas to prove his worth personally.



28 Jul 2017 18:24:43
I agree mate, big strong lad with a change of pace, I certainly wouldn't be in a rush to bin him!

Having more quality around him this season should definitely help



28 Jul 2017 20:03:10
I'd rather his dad DEANO. and he's not far off 50 now. Couldn't score in a barrel of fannies our Josh.



28 Jul 2017 20:20:40
Agree about Windass, there is definitely a player in there somewhere, it's a big season for the boy now he has to take every opportunity Pedro gives him, I don't know what it is but something inside me tells me he will turn out to be a really important player for us



28 Jul 2017 21:03:11
Watch the first goal against progress again. Shocking play from Windlass to allow the guy to Cross. He had 2 options - backtrack quickly and push the guy s! ightly wider and nearer the goal line or take him out. He did neither. He put a half-arsed feigned motion in - the type of thing I would do because I was blowing out my backside (I'm ages with his dad) and this young man wasn't long on the park! Moments like this cost you games = I fear Josh may have too many of these in him (but I'd love him to prove me wrong) so my optimism that there is a player in there has waned slightly.



28 Jul 2017 22:00:24
That's better than the joe dodoo one lmao



29 Jul 2017 08:58:12
big strong lad? 😂 have you watched him? Bullied in every old firm or big match he played it



29 Jul 2017 15:22:02
Yeah Rutherglenbear I agree with you regarding Windass although a bid of 500k would be hard to turn down!
IMO Windass and Dodoo poss O'halloran are Players who I would like to see loaned out.



29 Jul 2017 18:25:11
He needs to pull his socks up pronto mate. No time 4 passengers this year. I do know where you are coming from though-for me if he just pressed and made more runs into the box it would improve his game but hey ho let's hope the lad has either a good season or gets a decent Transfer. If it's the latter, thanks for trying son and wish him all the best. Once a ranger always a ranger



29 Jul 2017 18:34:15
Agree about Windass although he must step up this Season and show Pedro and us what he can do.
But again if reports are true that Teams were interested in him and a bid of around 4-500k being mentioned after what he has shown us! Then these other Clubs/ Managers must see something?
I even remember Rafa being interested in him!



29 Jul 2017 18:37:08
I have got to disagree he is shocking and have had his chance both progress goals were his fault and watched him come on against Marseille and he was shocking get rid asap.



28 Jul 2017 14:10:28
Doubtful he's highly thought of at united and is in the fringes of the first team this year. I'd also except him to play some league cup games this year.



28 Jul 2017 12:06:34
Does Anyone know what's happening withrob kiernan? Not heard anythingg about him for months



28 Jul 2017 13:36:32
He'll be on decent wages, doubt a club would touch him unless he's paid off or ranges pay part of his wages in a deal



28 Jul 2017 14:03:17
MK Dons are trying to get him on loan. Don't think they will take him outright just now though.
Fulham also were interested last season but probably scouted him then ended their interest.
Kiernan, Forrester, O'Halloran and Windass are all players who'd I'd like to see move on as I feel they have stole a wage for too long.



28 Jul 2017 20:26:50
Kiernan, Forrester and O'Halloran yes I agree they have to go but Windass has the ability to be a big player for us, I know he hasn't really shown it yet but it's in him somewhere . Now he has had a year to adapt from playing for ACCRINGTON STANLEY who are no disrespect to them a tiny tiny club to, to playing for RANGERS who are a huge world famous club (and it would have been a culture shock to say the very least ) we may now start to see exactly what Josh is capable of



29 Jul 2017 14:04:33
Yeah he will be on decent wages so I guess that we are hoping for a bid and then having to give him a pay off or a loan with the other club paying 30-50% of his wages.
But as with Forrester O'halloran Dodoo and others I think any business for these guys will be concluded at end of window.



29 Jul 2017 14:13:26
Please somebody take them off our books. These players were never Rangers class. God help any club that takes Kiernan, guy was a total liability.



29 Jul 2017 18:38:08
Windlass no he does not!



28 Jul 2017 11:30:58
Does anyone know what the situation with Jamie Walker is? He could be a key signing for us.

We don't need McLean at the moment with our depth in central midfield and he can be acquired pre contract. Not fussed on Naismith. I'd sooner give Ryan Hardie his chance.



29 Jul 2017 17:05:14
Do not think that the Club will go through same rigmarole as Walker with McLean AND I could see things pass by as per usual and come Jan the lad signs a pre-contract without all this palava. If we are going strong especially dominating tge sheep then yeah.
No point making waves the now and spending money we do not need too.



29 Jul 2017 18:39:52
You would Rather have hardy than Naismith 🤔



28 Jul 2017 10:24:22
Not a bad idea jzer yes hill would be a good punt for cover just for the year.



28 Jul 2017 05:52:01
After watching the marseille game and the watford game I feel that the traditional 442 works well for us - a nice balance in attack as well as defence.



29 Jul 2017 14:07:05
Only just found this out. The Marsaille game was there last friendly before serious competitive action and apparently their Manager said that the game was played at an excellent level



27 Jul 2017 23:15:10
I thought martin caceres or vegard foren who's a Norwegian international as possible quality centre backs both available on frees.



28 Jul 2017 02:40:38
true wouldn't say another cb is priority but definitely Wouldn't say no to either. be a good shout to sign a decent right back who is a free agent think it's still a position needed &rather than blowing more money on a fee on that position and there are some good rb's on the free right now in particular Sílvio, he's a Portuguese right back recently left wolves former benfica and atletco madrid player, I really rated the guy when a 1st seen him years back still only 29 probably never going to happen but thought I'd mention him since the topic came up aha



28 Jul 2017 09:24:09
Still think we could improve fullbacks but need to offload some deadwood before increasing squad size anymore. On your point about bates think training with first team and playing for u20s in these 'glamour games' would be more beneficial! Give clint Hill a year's contract to cover cbs gives us another leader in the squad!?



28 Jul 2017 11:31:53
So after Tavenier has a MOM performance against a good quality European side, we still feel we need a new RB when we have an international RB as cover already.

I said in a post a week or so ago that Alves would bring the best out in Tav and Wallace, Tav looked a different player on Saturday compared to last year and Wallace I think needs someone in front of him he can rely on so that he can concentrate on his defensive duties, got a feeling Dorrans may fill that void.

Decent CB cover is essential, Bates has the makings of a good steady CB but needs to go to a team like Killie to get game time. Hill as cover seems like a great shout Jzer! Everywhere else is covered and I don't think we should be adding too many more to an already large squad.



28 Jul 2017 12:01:44
Tav is like diffetent player now because of the fact that alves is beside him and we are playing 442 formation which mean's he's got help and cover which makes big difference



28 Jul 2017 20:32:35
After watching a lot of Fleetwood Town as live there I really think we missed a trick in not going for connor McLaughlin, Northern Ireland international right back who is comfortable on the ball and equally at ease going forward as he is defending, he has left Fleetwood this summer and signed for Millwall on a free . And my understanding is he is Rangers daft and would have probably crawled up the road to sign for us . I fully expect him to be playing in the EPL within a year or two



29 Jul 2017 18:33:31
Tav had a good game by his own standards. But Niko and Candeias were the MoM contenders.



27 Jul 2017 23:10:56
Players we can do with offloading are Harry Forrester and Michael O'Halloran Why would we get rid of Josh Windass for only 500k It will take a lot more than that to prise him away He will be a star player for us this up and coming season



28 Jul 2017 07:06:28
Going by the season windass has had kaz I would grab the £500 grand and run, he was awful for us last season and does nothing but give the ball away but that's just my opinion



28 Jul 2017 19:38:25
Well I still reckon there is more to his game and he can prove that this year with more quality around him



29 Jul 2017 10:03:52
Can't say Windass has been anything like impressive, just an opinion but I can't see how he will be a 'star' player when he hasn't been able to break into the mediocre category, as with forrester and moh- he's poor, no doubt he can play just don't think he's what we need and unless he's going from capucho to Ronaldo in a season I'll need convincing along with a lot of bears.



29 Jul 2017 10:47:08
can't believe his old boy was touting him as a future england player. Take whatever cash we can get.
