28 Nov 2020 21:42:23
Looking forward to the Falkirk match tomorrow with almost as much anticipation as I did for Benfica. Can't wait to see Bassey, Itten, Hagi, Barker and hopefully Zungu show us what they've got over 90 minutes. Also Defoe, but then we all know what he's got.



28 Nov 2020 22:44:46
I'm the same Bankie looking forward to seeing some of the guys who are not our guaranteed starters. Falkirk have also started well so should be a good test for them and would be good if Zungu gets the 90 mins as he must be choking to show us what he can do. Another plastic pitch which is never good for players but I'm going for a 0-3.



29 Nov 2020 07:42:57
Yes guys also looking forward to our cup game against celtic 👍Look forward to all rangers games TBH!
I fancy us 3-0 against falkirk this afternoon, a jermain defoe hat-trick 👌.



29 Nov 2020 08:05:40
I've seen enough of Barker now some of the young players I'd like to see.



29 Nov 2020 08:44:10
I would like to see barjonas get a start 2day.



29 Nov 2020 09:13:14
I'll go a Defoe hatrick aswell 4-0.



29 Nov 2020 09:45:43
Zungu still injured is he not?

Itten I want to start upfront not on the right or left straight thru the middle and that’s why I wouldn’t play Defoe unless SG goes two up top which I doubt will happen.



29 Nov 2020 09:49:00
Where are all our supposedly wonderkids surely this is type of game to blood some of them.



29 Nov 2020 12:20:34
I worry if we make too many changes, there is a possible banana skin here.



29 Nov 2020 14:08:51
Six counties I’m amazed how little u know about our club, tell. Us which young players u want to play.
Try not do the usual, moan but don’t provide a solution.



28 Nov 2020 19:24:55
Re morelos value, every strikers price is going to be effected by goal ratio but his all round play has improved this season so value may not drop as much due to less goals, also not as much money in the game just now due to C.V., think it would be a struggle to get 20 million right now, also need to consider how he would react to a bid being turned down, on the subject of money in the game i wonder if clubs are hanging back from sacking managers as they would have to pay them off.



28 Nov 2020 19:41:22
Talking about class striker's, i now seriously think that borussia dortmund's norwegian striker erling haaland is now close to becoming the best striker in the world 👌This outstanding young striker is a phenomenon 👌👌.



28 Nov 2020 20:33:42
Won't get that amount from wandering aimlessly about the pitch and not scoring goals, that's for sure.



29 Nov 2020 07:50:20
Blue would do. Morelos has been brilliant. Granted he's not been scoring goals but his link up play and holding up play is brilliant. I think the reason we are scoring so many goals right now is because merelos dragging defenders here there and everywhere that's creating gaps for others.



28 Nov 2020 17:37:28
A question guys was asked by a few mates if we could still sell Morelos for 20 million going on goal ratio this season

Think he's on 3 goals after 15 league games we've played
Tav is leading the charts on 9 lol

But question is does anyone think his value has dropped since he's not scored so many do we value strikers on goals scored or overall performances

My personal opinion and answer was
No I don't think we will get 20 million unless he starts to improve his goal ratio
And some of his performances haven't been the best this season
I've seen Alfie lay a hell of a lot Better previous seasons and not sure what's going on with him
But I definitely think we should be offloading him now
We can certainly get better now I think

What's everyone's thoughts looking for debate not arguments 😊😊😎.



28 Nov 2020 18:27:23
Thestigno so r u only counting certain goals. Why not his European goals.



28 Nov 2020 18:45:17
Every bear should have an opinion but christ did you see the workload Alf put in on Thursday?
sometimes not my favourite player but watch his body language when a teammate scores it, s first class.
Would much rather we kept him TBO but money does talk.



28 Nov 2020 19:10:52
Dounebear- we have to sell him or equivalent. Our trading results were horrendous- after another massive loss last year so i reckon we need a £20m sale - hope its not Kamara and Barasic as they're both playing well. on or two will have to go in January.



28 Nov 2020 19:44:03
We don’t need to sell anyone in January and why would we when he had our best chance in a long time to win the league.



28 Nov 2020 19:49:33
Stig I agree we won't get the £20M he was worth as he is not scoring as freely as he used to. However IMO he is not being played as the out and out striker this season, he is more of a team player. SG has him all over the park helping in the system. When I mentioned this previously I was met with sarcasm from those who wanted him gone. Wait until summer before selling him.



28 Nov 2020 19:58:04
He isn't a 20M player and probably never was.



28 Nov 2020 20:08:12
Why would any Rangers fan want to off load any of our first team squad before we win 55? It beggars belief that fans want players out.



28 Nov 2020 20:12:12
he is so a 20 M and i think his over all performance is better now the way he is playing, still torments defence and pulls them out of shape allowing midfield to score. personally i don't care where the goals come from as long as we win. He is 20M plus, we won't sell him until end of season, maybe he will want to stay to get CL chance and go if we don't make it.



28 Nov 2020 20:59:48
Fredo has been immense lately, teams can't afford not to mark him, allowing any of our other players space to hurt them. If they don't watch Fredo he WILL score.
It's clear to see this year we are not just a team, we are a machine.



28 Nov 2020 21:35:07
Let’s get off the boys back and let him play. Goals and his Valuation will return.



28 Nov 2020 23:24:53
I am not a Alfie fanatic but I appreciate the game that he’s playing but I bet that it’s for the fact that the goals are being spread about the team.



29 Nov 2020 07:46:04
We simply don't need to sell any of our players in january and won't unless its an out of this world offer we receive!



29 Nov 2020 08:50:45
Guys I never mentioned selling him - only asking his price tag may be different from last year

Gerrard said himself he’s not sure what goes on in the boys head at times and when asked certain questions Gerrards responds you will need to ask Alfredo?

He’s not been holding the ball up as good as he has in previous seasons seen a lot of balls bounce of him
Maybe he’s not enjoying what ever new roll some think he’s playing
I think there’s something a bit off with him but that’s just me

Look forward to the game today hopefully he gets a few goals if he’s playing and gives himself a confidence boost 😊👍.



29 Nov 2020 09:49:04
The stig can you not see that he is playing deeper If not that’s worrying as it’s obvious.



28 Nov 2020 16:10:55
Does anyone else think we should bye Eduard in January just complete the meltdown 😂😂.



28 Nov 2020 17:07:40
Who would we drop? 😅.



28 Nov 2020 17:57:45
James Tavener i personaly want fo thank you for being the best player in the spfl with no caps and putting up with our and your fans fur critisising you for performancies thaks for sticking by us win this league this year n youl be a legend for life thanks again captain what a player youve become.



28 Nov 2020 18:28:14
Dsgers the criticism was warranted. He has improved significantly this season.



28 Nov 2020 18:40:33
Been outstanding, was almost loaned out last year. Hopefully his form continues.



28 Nov 2020 19:02:55
John i slaughtered him masel but glad he stayed and just wanted to thank him as i hope he lifts some trophies as captain and for us gers fans that's awe.



28 Nov 2020 19:18:30
BlueWouldDo, i don't know where you're getting tav was almost loaned out last year 🤔Never in a month of sunday's was there any chance of rangers loaning out tav!



28 Nov 2020 19:20:58
Tav put in a helluva shift the other night. His defending is suspect at times and his final ball can let him down but he runs his heart out for the team for the entire match and never hides.



28 Nov 2020 19:46:20
BWD do you live on the moon? Tav was not nearly loaned out.

I was one of his biggest critics but this season he has proved me wrong and I don’t mind eating humble pie one bit.

John 100% correct it was deserved then.



28 Nov 2020 20:17:28
A loan move that never quite materialised, a top half championship club was prepared with a sizable loan fee.



28 Nov 2020 20:30:33
Tav’s form has been much better this season and deserves credit for that. Still don’t consider him genuine rangers captain material and leader.



28 Nov 2020 20:52:31
BWD a utter BS you must have read this in a rag and believed it.



28 Nov 2020 20:57:23
I'm sure when Tav sits down after his tea tonight to read rangers banter page he'll be glad to read your comments DS 🤦🏻‍♂️.



29 Nov 2020 00:00:39
The criticism was justified last year, he's vastly improved. I still say he shouldn't be captain or hitting corners either.



29 Nov 2020 07:51:57
BWD, you said he was ALMOST loaned out which is insinuating the club was close to loaning him out, which honestly mate is absolute rubbish.
Then you're saying a move never quite materialised? 🤔Do you honestly think rangers would have loaned tav our captain out or that tav would have went out on loan? Never in a million years mate was that the case!



29 Nov 2020 09:15:38
There was a very good chance of this happening.



29 Nov 2020 13:29:53
BWD no they weren’t stop telling lies.



29 Nov 2020 21:03:24
Very much mooted.



28 Nov 2020 15:47:00
Just spoken to Jordan Campbell, he's my neighbour since childhood, he knows nothing about learning dempster and Rangers

My daughter says Lee anne has bought a new house with her partner so she's leaving Edinburgh

Jordan has interviewed Tore Andre Flo, believe me when tell you this won't be the most entertaining of interviews, apparently flo didn't know advocaat had replaced big amo with Barry for the captaincy, and scarcely knows who his teammates were.



28 Nov 2020 17:25:06
Tom, I heard she's joining Queens Park.



28 Nov 2020 17:38:35
Queen’s Park I heard too.



28 Nov 2020 18:03:52
Tom untill match day fitness checks on players advocate and most players didn't no whod be playing its always been that way with all teams i'm sure.



28 Nov 2020 19:51:42
Leanne Dempster lives in East Kilbride as far as I know, not Edinburgh.



28 Nov 2020 13:31:58
hi fellow bears just thinking . the league cup / betfred cup. will there be any europa league qualification from it next year because of scotland's coefficient. i am not sure why it was stopped in the first place?



28 Nov 2020 13:42:56
Answer is no.



28 Nov 2020 13:46:45
This new conference european competition starts next year so good chance other smaller teams will make european competition also.



28 Nov 2020 14:06:03
anyone know why qualification was stopped in the first place?



28 Nov 2020 14:57:45
Brian beacase bigger clubs voted for it going on premier league position same as for extra place next year.



28 Nov 2020 14:58:40
I was a bit confused about this but daviedouglas has cleared it up a bit for me.
The Pacific Shelf may well have a chance of European footie next year.
Cheers Davie.



28 Nov 2020 15:44:33
cheers john i have been away from scotland a long time and i'm getting old and the memory is going . lol.



28 Nov 2020 19:06:10
Briangersfan don't worry about your memory mate cause i can't remember the last time we won anything lol put it this way all i know is it was b4 i had a head of gray hair ahah.



28 Nov 2020 12:18:34
There's a few of us gathering outside Ibrox tonight (social distancing applies) to show support for Neil Lennon. C and his small band of followers feel it's imperative that Neil is given the chance to see out the work he has started until the end of the season. All welcome. Everyone, anyone!

#Something inside so strong 🕯.



28 Nov 2020 13:49:19
Funny if a joke. sad if actually happening. 😂.



28 Nov 2020 14:34:38
Count me in!

Seriously, if anybody that didn't realise the Green Brigade were a bunch of attention seeking fuds, then surely their planned protests will change their minds. They can go on about social distancing but their behaviour could put lives at risk and their protest is a huge slap in the face for the NHS.



28 Nov 2020 14:35:41
Unfortunately due to me running low on black paint I could only make my LENNON MUST STAY banner 100ft long x 5ft high. I'll bring it along tonight anyway and we can proudly display it outside the front doors of IBROX. We must do all we can in these tough times.



28 Nov 2020 17:21:05
Anyone think the league is a long long way from finished and Lennon has every chance of coming back? , because it is, and he has,

Unbelievable how some think it’s finished, not even December yet,

Ridiculous.



28 Nov 2020 18:03:51
Agreed tom. We have been here last 2 seasons and still won absolutely zero.



28 Nov 2020 18:08:32
Totally agree Tam oh heard your a big bloke so what part of your body does Tomthumb refer too 🤣🤣 just bursting your baws mate.



28 Nov 2020 19:51:52
TT I for one believe it has a long long way to go as they can put a run together quite easily anyone who thinks it’s over needs to go to t the nut house.

Nothing is won in November and last year we all got a head of ourselves and look what happened then.
The problem is not many say it because you get excused of being negative and it’s just being a realist.



28 Nov 2020 20:54:40
Calm your jets. Nobody said it was over. If you can’t enjoy their misery then leave it to the rest of us who have a sense of humour. If they do come back and win it then at least we had something to laugh about at some point. You on the other hand, will always be miserable!



28 Nov 2020 11:41:22
Folks what's your thoughts on Morelos?
Me personally I don't think he does enough as our out and out striker. I'm going to contradict myself a little. Yes he holds up play and has some nice touches etc but his job is to score goals. Let's go back to a year ago and compare now. I think he's a shadow of the player he once was.

Then I've heard people saying that SG has asked him to play a different role? Mmmm I'm not so sure. Luckily enough there are goals all over the team. I also heard SG saying that the players tired towards the end last night? Well why didn't he make subs?

I can't criticise the team too much as we've made a fantastic start but nothing is won yet. Onwards and upwards and let's get 55.



28 Nov 2020 12:03:12
As 1974 someone else who does not get it. If Morelos was doing what he wanted running about do u honestly think the manager would pick him.
Also players did tire, u ever understand bringing on subs and getting them up to match pace.



28 Nov 2020 12:30:18
Morelos definitely playing more for the team last couple of months and team better for it. As long as we are scoring goals it does not matter who gets them.

On substitutes against Benfica in absence of Jack, Aribo and Zunga we did not have a midfielder on bench who could provide defensive cover. The gamble would have been to bring on Helander as 3rd central defender but against their fast offensive players that would have been risky. Think the only other available option would have been to bring on Bassey at expense of Kent, Roofe or Morelos. Although understand Bassey can play in a central defensive position don’t believe he has been tried in that position by us.



28 Nov 2020 12:59:56
Needs to be far better, needs to start chipping in with those goals.



28 Nov 2020 13:31:36
Can't think back, but did bassey not come on as a left midfielder a wee while back. Can't remember. Taking Kent off and putting him might have been an idea. Then again, what do I know, the manager and coaching team are the ones on the big bucks. Anyway, good result. No complaints so far. 5-0 tomorrow.



28 Nov 2020 13:45:09
Very good post bankie, no knee jerk response, well considered.



28 Nov 2020 13:47:51
Morelos ain't playing as an out and out striker this year.



28 Nov 2020 13:58:24
John25, I refrained from saying if Ross McCrorie on bench could have deployed. We’ve discussed before and exhausted that subject I think. Looking forward to Falkirk tomorrow and team selection.



28 Nov 2020 14:52:15
Out and out striker or not he's definitely not scoring enough goals.



28 Nov 2020 14:59:11
Lol bankie, him and SG r finished as pals.



28 Nov 2020 16:37:41
Last year if morelos wasnt scoring neither were me. he's scoring less for sure, but the way he's playing is pulling defenders out of areas to leave spaces for others. Far more goals coming from all over the pitch.



28 Nov 2020 19:54:26
Most of the guys have said what’s happening with him playing more for the team and anyone with half a brain knows he is playing deeper and pulling defenders all over the place the main reason we are getting goals from else where.
Less time in the box means less goals it’s not rocket science.



28 Nov 2020 09:54:40
Got a wee treble for Neil Francis Lennon today.
12-15-Bangor-Stolen Silver

15-28-Doncaster-O'The Pain

14-46-Fairyhouse-Call A Cab

And Tom I've got one for you.

14-53-Doncaster-Big Bad Bear 🐻.



28 Nov 2020 17:24:09
Fantastic brex, big bad bear, cracker.



28 Nov 2020 18:04:42
I had it Tom but on a lucky 15,iv got that one winner one placed 9/ 1,one nowhere and one running 7 o'clock Harry Love, and Norwich let me down on my football, hope you had a few winners.



28 Nov 2020 09:04:46
I think it was John25 who posted yesterday or the day before that outgoing hibs CEO leeann dempster, was linked with a powerful position at rangers and also linked with willie haughey funded club Queens Park 🤔
You are quite possibly correct John25,
regarding Queens Park mate 👍 Various media outlets this morning reporting that her next big challenge is Queens Park,
where she could be taking Haughey's offer up and becoming their new CEO 🤔
Haughey has massive ambitions of taking Queens up through the leagues and wants the business acumen of leeann dempster to spearhead the challenge! According to reports she's all but agreed to take up her new challenge with QP and will also be able to have more family time in her new position. She's reportedly delighted and wanted a massive challenge like this, to try and take the oldest football club in scotland,
through all the leagues into the big league 🤔What a football story that would be and especially so, as Queens Park were an amateur club practically all their long history, up until they turned pro a year or two ago. She would leave some legacy if that were achieved and this is the challenge she's obviously talking about!



28 Nov 2020 11:06:38
I never said she was linked to us, just that a rumour was building, I stuck up for Robertson
No time did I mention QP.



28 Nov 2020 11:20:20
I know John25 it was BMGH01 that mentioned QP👍 Sorry for the mix up pal?



28 Nov 2020 11:30:22
The rumour was that she moving to a Glasgow based club. Understandably some assumed incorrectly that was us.



28 Nov 2020 13:45:30
Cool SGL.



28 Nov 2020 14:37:51
Maybe with her brilliant footballing insight, she can persuade somebody like Paul Heckingbottom to manage Queen's Park. He's still without a club believe it or not after the fantastic job he did at Hibs.



28 Nov 2020 15:46:02
Geronimo, you name one manager out of 4 hibs manager she recruited mmm🤔
The other 3 were terrific appointments for hibs 👌Great how you chose the one who didn't end up being a good appointment to have a go at her because YOU don't rate her! She's superb at her job, don't worry about that pal👌.



28 Nov 2020 08:48:19
Anyone fancy Lukas Julis from Sparta Prague? I remember a certain Nikica Jelavic terrorised Celtic in Europe and turned out to be not to bad for us?



28 Nov 2020 09:25:09
Good shout, I also thought that he would be worth a look at,



28 Nov 2020 09:40:07
To be honest I have never heard of him before and I am judging that from 2 games against a poor Celtic side. I think he is definitely a goal scorer though and in a better team might be a real find.



28 Nov 2020 10:32:41
Looks a good player 👍.



28 Nov 2020 11:37:05
If we target every player that looks good against Celtic recently then we will end up with a squad of about 80 🤣🤣 love to see it and long may it continue.



28 Nov 2020 12:19:14
That’s true 😆.



28 Nov 2020 19:11:31
Arveladze and Jelavic were both outstanding against them and went on to be right pains in the ass for them. Wee Nacho also! Julis would be some signing imo.
