Oli Burke I reckon will be ours soon. No source just would like to see it happen.



29 Sep 2018 08:06:20
You've got half of the name right mate! It's oli mcburnie we're needing more! We're very well covered in the area oli burke plays in!



29 Sep 2018 10:34:57
I agree with you super cooper it’s not another winger we need it’s a number 9 we require.
I just don’t think mcburnie is the answer either, I think we need a number nine that will score 20+ goals a season and be able to hold the play up the way the buffalo does and mcburnie in my opinion isn’t that type of player. I am not saying he isn’t a good player but in my opinion he just isn’t what we require up top especially with the way we are trying to play. Just my opinion though.



29 Sep 2018 10:35:43
Nanook no chance with about 12 million.



29 Sep 2018 12:09:49
What nonsense, is that your opinion then?



28 Sep 2018 21:31:34
What's people's opinions on brexit affecting transfers from next summer. I read that officials from across the country are trying to make players exempt from the usual visa requirements, as all the players we get from eu will need permits to play just like the rest of the non British players.



28 Sep 2018 23:24:30
It’s one of the unknowns, non-eu’s won’t be affected, eu nationals will be subject to any deal made or whatever terms a no deal creates and new transfers will be subject to the new immigration laws, I suspect there will be no issues with any transfers to us as the players will be of sufficient salary to be granted a work permit and very few players from these shores head to the Eu to play so not much issue there.



28 Sep 2018 23:55:47
Thats just scare mongering if people are reporting that. There isn't a plan for anyone from the EU to need a work permit to work here for standard jobs, why would footballers be different?



29 Sep 2018 10:31:18
They said that they would have to had played so many full international games to get a visa. I don't think it will come to this either, but if it does then following the team in Europe will also cost more.

Hi fellow bears just watched a clip on youtube of the ayr game good quality and 7:52 long ejaria was absolutely outstanding especially 2nd half what a talent! Also shows worrall going bananas at rangers scoring I think the 3rd so he obviously loves being part of us! Hmm you never know? Would really love all loans to stay even sadiq if he kicks on.



28 Sep 2018 21:29:09
I've been watching players reactions at goals too lately and have notices coulibaly doesn't seem that bothered.



28 Sep 2018 21:30:58
Good post mate until you mentioned Sadiq.



28 Sep 2018 21:45:11
If he kicks on goalie! But yes the other 4 without a doubt the best loans we have ever had? ! I think so.



29 Sep 2018 08:54:32
Coulibaly looked pretty happy when he scored against Dundee!



29 Sep 2018 08:57:30
I even liked Morelos laughing when he got taken off straight after his goal. The boy is very happy. Just needs to learn to shrug off people trying to get a reaction from him.



28 Sep 2018 19:56:43
Was thinking the other night that we got out of jail by mcinnes not becoming our new manager and the appointment of Stevie G! I actually believe gerrard is the real deal and we have an absolute gem in our hands . I think we have been very lucky.



28 Sep 2018 23:27:35
Was never in the McInnes camp, those who were must be mightily relieved. He was/ is never good enough and we are mutually beneficial to each other with Stevie G!



29 Sep 2018 08:15:35
Couldn’t agree more. Celtic have been rank rotten but wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if they took 5 off the sheep today. Hope I’m wrong but Aberdeen are big game bottle merchants.



28 Sep 2018 19:10:20
Actually love 😍 Stevie g's press conferences. I says it how it is and if there's a question he doesn't like he puts them straight. that's all we've been crying out for, for years now. Someone who understands the club and doesn't take any rubbish. Hats off to you Steven Gerrard. At the very minimum you have brought some decency and respect back to this famous club. Long may it continue on and off the pitch. 🇬🇧👏🔴⚪🔵.



28 Sep 2018 21:39:53
Yip dunoonbluebear, very proud steven gerrard is the glasgow rangers manager! He's brought so much know how and professionalism, back to our club! Stevie G our manager, absolutely oozes class! If he stays the 4 years of his contract and i think he will, then i'll state here and now that he'll win the league as our manager, within the next 2 years! I truly now think that he'll deliver the title for us THIS season!



28 Sep 2018 22:09:54
Agree 100% lads like your optimism coop I too honestly believe we will do it this season coop cetic are already saying they will spend in january so they are obviously s*itting bricks. And it is only just starting.



28 Sep 2018 22:40:41
He will win the league this year, he's a born winner, done great things already with a new team and their just going to get better.



28 Sep 2018 18:47:22
Just thought i would post this as a lot of fans seem to be against Morelos, but also noticing the unfair treatment for referees and linesmen.

Morelos is lashing out as he isn't being protected by the referees or other officials. he is a young lad and doesn't want injured.

But no one is wondering why the club isn't going to the SFA for answers, this all happened before i'm sure Neil Lennon kicked it all off starting with Willie Collum not awarding them a penalty againts us. then again against hearts.

Then the referees went on strike as they were getting abuse at home and in the street, and new referees were sourced referees from other leagues.

at the end of the day, referees are there to officiate the match and protect the players. we can all say especially from last season with cardosos nose and the constant late tackles, and kicking at morelos the refs aren't doing their jobs.

the refs need to be brought up to the sfa by the club, because i for one would not want to see young middleton get injured as he is one of the best things to watch in our team. but scarily he runs straight at defenders and if refs aren't doing their jobs its an injury waiting to happen.



28 Sep 2018 19:00:07
100 % agree on referees.



28 Sep 2018 21:44:57
Nonsense! it's a physical game our players aren't immune to sticking the foot in what do uou expect other teams not to tackle us leave that to the tims. he's a terrific wee player but needs to accept he's a striker snd he's going to get fouled and not react.



29 Sep 2018 00:33:09
I think Morelos is being targeted by refs, . he's strong in every challenge, yet he has most decisions given against him. there's a definite agenda against him, .



29 Sep 2018 07:41:03
Teams are deliberately winding him up as they know he will react. Referees are also not protecting him, if they did it would stop this tactic. He also has to learn to be much smarter and not allow himself to lash out or be petulant whilst also remaining strong on the ball . I love the wee guys drive, commitment and how he absolutely loves scoring goals for us! He's not the finished article by a long chalk, but he is young and will get better as he matures. I think we should just get behind him and enjoy him while we can! One day like Gattuso we will realise what we had!



28 Sep 2018 18:19:17
Morelos being unavailable might not be a bad thing. When we went down to ten men they hadn't a clue who to mark due to the amount of attacking throughout the team. From the wings defence and through the centre, might not be a bad idea to play with no striker and have the wingers switch at playing through the middle. Just a thought.



28 Sep 2018 17:34:45
Set for an exciting week lads, we really need a win of any kind on Sunday, ugly, lucky, whatever and onto our biggest game of the season! A win against Rapid and we are definitely in the mix for progression to the knockout phase of EL. Personally I wouldn’t risk Coulibaly or Barasic on the plastic pitch although I would put Tav back in.



28 Sep 2018 15:51:36
Just got my home top delivered! #buzzing.



28 Sep 2018 18:28:26
Hows the sizing jzer, do you think they're big or small made or average.



29 Sep 2018 00:40:31
I'd say average mate I wear a large and it's fine on me have lost a few pounds of late right enough.



28 Sep 2018 13:14:17
Honestly some of the guff on twitter by 'reputable' people saying the reason the gers dons game is early is because of the trouble that would happen if they were the late kickoff as they claim gers and dons fans will cause the police all the problems. Or maybe if they put a sensible head on and realise that its a sunday and that many many dons fans will be traveling down for the game. that if it was 19:45 kickoff with hopefully not, extra time and penalties. then the dons wouldn't have any public transport to get home.
Any excuse some people can find to take a kick at us.
But of course a hearts celtic game never has trouble. It never has fans running onto the pitch and attacking managers. No No they are peaceful games where they all hold hands and join in a good old sing song.



28 Sep 2018 15:34:02
According to the press the sheep won't Be able to get to the game for start time due to public transport times. They have asked Scotrail to put extra trains on, but they have an overtime ban on at the time of the games.



28 Sep 2018 16:25:15
As far as I was led to believe the main reason for the early kick off was because of the sheep fans and their having to travel back up the road late as well as fed up after their pumping. Another reason might be that as Rangers are playing at home the previous Thursday while the mhanks are in Germany, they would give them more time to recover from the travelling after the game (and also because they would have been pumped and need more time to cheer up lol)



28 Sep 2018 15:22:49
1945 kick off - celtic and hearts fans most likely to be steamboats. See how that goes. Flash points will be town and train stations. Fans departing - rangers and Aberdeen with the arrival of hearts fans from Edinburgh.

Only my thoughts, see what happens on the day. On the ccc, hopefully come out the ballot, got my red, white and blue confetti to decorate hamdump.



28 Sep 2018 17:48:12
Haha, 2 factors I hadn’t considered Seeker, imagine the uproar if they had been made the early game and had to travel back late and play first! The point here is that there was no solution to it without someone feeling aggrieved. I don’t see why the midweek card following that weekend couldn’t have been moved to accommodate these games, too sensible I suppose.



28 Sep 2018 18:28:27
Spot on wee bear!



28 Sep 2018 18:59:11
you could have used murrayfield both semi finals played at same time. add more excitement to both ties. avoid all the hassle of fans clashing on same day. which will happen, how hard can it be.



28 Sep 2018 12:03:16
Personally I don't believe Morellos is a liability, he is a player who needs help, Rangers could get him to attend anger management classes, and him not knowing much English must be very frustrating as he doesn't know what the refs etc are really saying. I think he " could " become a great player for Rangers in the future, but most of the other posts have good points on his character.



28 Sep 2018 12:45:20
Sports psychology could work. More effective could be massive fines. He's letting his team mates and fans down.



28 Sep 2018 13:17:06
I heard someone make a good point about Morelos. The boy can’t speak English so he is obviously going to throw his arms around etc as a form of communication to get his point across. I still think he was well within his rights to be angry at the tackle from the Ayr player bc it was shocking. He’s been labeled a crazy South American hothead as soon as he arrived in the country and the refs have bought into it.



28 Sep 2018 15:23:21
Just to another spin on it I think Morelos being suspended for semi has worked in our favour think we’ll do the sheep without him because no doubt he would have been booked in that game and miss final every cloud and all that.



28 Sep 2018 15:34:48
He's been here for a year now, surely he has learned some English.



28 Sep 2018 16:12:11
It was a terrible tackle, but shouting and throwing your arms at the referee isn’t the answer.



28 Sep 2018 17:13:05
If he can’t talk English after this amount of time he’s obviously not particularly bothered.



28 Sep 2018 18:08:40
@36ulsterdivision I think it's more that he's not particularly smart that is preventing him from learning English rather than that he's not bothered.



28 Sep 2018 18:19:27
I agree totally that he has to channel his frustration in a better way when pleading his case or moaning about a challenge on him but the ref wanted to book him, I didn't really think there was a whole lot wrong with what he did I still wanted him to shut up and walk away but I really didn't think what he did merited the booking, however if you just don't give the ref a reason to book you then you don't get booked simple.



29 Sep 2018 06:09:47
I've got to laugh re his English, he's probably got quite a bit by now. A bit like being fluent in Spanish after 3 trips to Benidorm. lol
Young and dumb but will be s stsr. 👍♥️🙏💙🐻⚽🇺🇲.



28 Sep 2018 11:44:56
Good morning Ed

Can you do a poll today? Thanks

Question is

Should Rangers give Sadiq a chance to shine or should we go with winger Middleton upfront?

a) Sadiq
b) Middleton
c) Sadiq upfront and Middleton in natural postion.



{Ed033's Note - Middleton? Don't you mean Validation?


Sadiq, Middleton Poll

28 Sep 2018 12:07:23
Out of all the wingers or forward type players we have I think Grezda would be best fit through the middle. I’d have Middletona and Kent either side of him.



28 Sep 2018 12:36:12
The old Alex McLeish hit them with pace trick! Remember Caniggia, Lovenkrands and McCann wreaking havoc against a lumbering celtic defence. Happy days!



28 Sep 2018 13:18:50
Spot on seeker. Choose three from Middleton, Kent, Candeias and Grezda and let them rotate up across the front line. Big McKenna will be blowing out his backside.



28 Sep 2018 13:43:42
I would play ryan kent through the middle against the sheep! He'd run their slow defence ragged imo!



28 Sep 2018 16:27:06
I think that is the way to go guys 👍👍.



28 Sep 2018 22:44:58
@kazmania82 - a wee bit of a pointless poll considering Gerrard has come out publicly and said Sadiq needs to buck up his ideas before he’s even ready for a first team run out.



Review Of The Day 28th September 2018

28 Sep 2018 07:29:12
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 28th September 2018



28 Sep 2018 00:34:37
Ive emailed the rangers online shopping and been blanked regarding my order. has anyone else heard what's happening with the tops?



28 Sep 2018 01:54:10
I’ve emailed them 3 times regarding my order (£126) and they’ve not had the decency to reply. I’m giving it until next Mon/ Tues then instructing my Credit Card Company to retrieve the money and I’ll go to JD Sports and get it for £5 cheaper

I thought that by buying directly from The Club they are at least getting all the money

Don’t ever want criticise the Club but they’ve handles the whole situation with the strips badly.



28 Sep 2018 07:56:32
The club won't get all money from buying from website, there is a company that is selling them on the website on behalf of rangers called the elite group, who will take a cut.



28 Sep 2018 10:17:36
Hummel are struggling to meet demands and we are not the only club its affecting.



28 Sep 2018 11:26:05
Hummel are not struggling. We can't cope with the delivery demand, it's a non issue.



28 Sep 2018 14:12:52
I got my distribution confirmation yesterday and expecting it tomorrow at the latest. I wonder if they have enough for demand as they did say those bot successful will get priority when the next batch come in.



28 Sep 2018 22:31:24
I know its probably not what anyone wants to hear. But in terms of enquiries to staff (given recent issues) it is more probable that they physically can't answer everyone as quickly as they would like to.

They could have maybe sent an auto email or put up a post on Facebook or something to advise of delays tho.

I hope they answer you soon guys.



28 Sep 2018 22:34:39
Still find it strange we didn’t go to the press with a launch for the new kit? ie, advertising.
