Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

Had we not had to sell these players or had the money to keep them, you bears think we would be 4 points behind septic?

.... i dont think so!!

Believable3 Unbelievable4

No but we did , so lets crack on and hope we get it right ,

Agree2 Disagree0

HOPE ... thats the one word on all over our lips at the moment. There is no way a club of rangers' standards should be in this mess. Celtics squad itself is pretty poor but at least they are capable of putting in shifts and getting enough results to please their fans at the moment. Rangers fans on the otherhand are left redfaced, whereas it should be that conman Whytes'!

Yeh, and if celtic still had larsson, sutton, hartson, petrov, mjallby, mcgrain, hay, mcneill.......blah blah blah

stupid, stupid post....go watch the telly or something


taco

Agree8 Disagree3

Lets be realistic now. if we had been in such a strong financial position would we have even looked at aluko? doesnt matter what we dont have now, lets look at what we do eh. best goalie n centre half in scotland by a mile, most in form player at this time in aluko n on his game a excellent centre forward in jelavic(if he stays), wee naisy was head n shoulders above any other player this season, we've still got him to come back. plus for all the stick the big man gets i would feel a lot better with lafferty in my team before healy.

Dont think being one point off top at this time of year that bad. We were 15 points ahead after playing two games more which really is 9 and people are forgetting how many points that other side have dropped if they cant win the league with 95 players then we will

Believable1 Unbelievable2

95 players? same amount of trialists that have fled murray park screaming!!! green jhedi

Agree5 Disagree2

So by ur logic since we've played a game less ur not really just a point behind. Uv completely contradicted urself there. U really shud have thot before posting that.

Drew

Agree3 Disagree1

No matter how you dress it, it was 15 points you SURRENDERED

celtic still had to win those games in hand, they weren't a guaranteed 6 points. and like drew says, apply the same logic and rangers are really top.....yeah, you keep saying that to yourself lol!


taco

Agree9 Disagree1

Well seeing the OP didn't leave a name, his statements are ridiculous! You've lost 19 points and are sitting second....thats the end of it. The gap could/should be 4 again after wednesday.

We have played a game less, yet were still top!

Not a regular poster on this site so don't know if this is old hat or not, but if anyone can pick a worse Rangers team in the last 10-15 years than this I will eat my hat:

Letizi
Ross
Bardsley
Andrews
Fanfan
Sionko
Malcolm
Capucho
Namouchi
Ostenstad
Sebo

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Think it's a little harsh on Bardsley, Andrews & Namouchi.

Bardsley looked a decent player up here, was keeping Hutton out the team until he made a tackle (how dare he) in training. Le Guen ruined him. He's proved he is a good defender with Sunderland and Scotland.

Namouchi always gave 100% & had some very good games for us. McLeish always played him in big games (Old Firm etc).

Andrews was a brilliant short term Centre back for us. He threw his head in where others wouldnt put their feet! He played through a career threatening injury. He came up with our 'Keep Believing' motto. So of all your choices I'd strongly disagree with him in particular.

Steven.

Agree2 Disagree2

Meant to add my choice to my previous post...

Letizi

Ross
Penttila
Malcolm
Vanoli

Capucho
Mladenovic
Emerson
Ortiz

Ostenstad
Sebo

Agree2 Disagree0

Big Andrews shouldn't be near worst team he dine a job for us, where is fran jeffers he was garbage, ortiz, mckay, healy would be in mine, Emerson was shocking aswell.

Just a post to let the dhims know,the title was won last year by a poor Rangers team,and will be won again by a poor Rangers team,so where does that leave you,playing your Barcelona type football {not].Come back on when you win the league.

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Barcelona type football, are people really watching the rubbish I've seen from Celtic, they are a bad team and both of the Old Firms standards dropped but we're skint, what's their excuse?

Champions 3IAR

Agree4 Disagree5

Dont agree with that. Granted our performances have not been great since the old firm game but we are just doing wot uz was all so proud of earlier in the season. Winning.

Drew

Agree2 Disagree1

We may be bad, but we're top! What does that say about your £4m striker Jelavic, your £3m for Frodo Davis, £3.25m for Laugherty, 25k a week for Whittaker.........

You lot have actually spent more than Celts over the last few seasons, so think before you speak Percy's! lol That's the reason you're in this fine mess, Ollie's!

Miko x

Agree2 Disagree1

Miko that argument is a joke 8 and you know it...how much a week do you think is getting spent by your club and mine on wages you know celtics will probably be well over double to ours mate...

Tam-Sir 1873 only on 30k a year.....

Agree0 Disagree1

You may mock us buying a promising youngster from burnley for close to 4 million, a player you lot also quite fancied at the time also, and a mid epl team central midfielder for 3 million in davis. but you lot signed a daft wee lad fae hibs for 4 million who has won hee haw since his arrival in comparison to our duds, both of whom have 3 championship medals n numerous domestic cup honours. at least we knew these guys before we signed them, unlike a certain 2 million pound transfer of a fella called bangura.
j1985

Agree1 Disagree1

Difference is we can take a hit on transfers you cant! lets see how much you get for jellylegs? word is 3.5m upfront rest in instalments.if i could use one of your own quotes here.."in whyte WE trust".watch the papers tomorrow......

Agree3 Disagree0

Miko,

You and your false economies again. You keep going on about how much we spent, never once have you mentioned how much we took in from 'forced' sales.

But again, thats the celtic way. What do you expect from the fans, when the institution they worship is rotten to the core. Porkheid is falling down btw.

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Jan 2012 22:07:42
if (and its a big if) whyte releases some of the cash from the sale of jelavic to strengthen the team, surely we should be offering pre-contracts to some of the quality players down south who look set to run their contracts down to leave on a bosman in the summer. We would be in a stronger position than prospective buyers down south as they can't offer pre-contracts to players from their own country. Some of the players i would be taking a look at would be ... Cuellar, Bodde (Swansea) provided he's over injury problems, maynard (bristol city), Mcgugan (forest), Stock (Doncaster), and Rodriguez (Burnley). I know its ambitious but even signing one of these on a bosman would be a major coup.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

29 Jan 2012 22:01:13
i just hope we dont sell ourselves short with the jelavic deal, we shud quite rightly be looking for between 8-10 million, hes been a goal machine for us even though all we do is punt the ball up to him, i do think Jela could do better than Everton there never going to challenge for anything and they are the pure definition of a midtable team, but i really hope the money is used wiseley if we do not replace jelavic with a decent frontman, the title is gone, i do not see the point in signing guerra

Believable2 Unbelievable2

we will win the league. Place your bets.

This financial situation (excluding the tax case) all stems back to last summer. if craig whyte had spent the money getting players like goodwillie, verhoek and cuellar then whyte wouldve recouped that money as we wouldve beaten malmo as their pish. Unfortunately we are now reduced to signing trialists

Believable2 Unbelievable1

You mean Goodwillie whos struggling at Blackburn, Verhoek who doesn't want to leave his home country and Cuellar who wasn't even fit due to injury. Idiot!
GCUK

Agree4 Disagree0

Mr Angry! lol

Miko x

Agree1 Disagree0

Look goodwillie ar rangers wouldve banged them in. In verhoeks case, persuading a player to leave their home to join us is part of a transfer. so what if cuellar was injureed? He wouldve returned at some point. your the idiot.

Agree1 Disagree1

How could Cuellar have helped us beat Malmo?? Verhoek didn't want to leave his country for ANYONE not just Rangers!
I stand by my previous comment....your an idiot and a nameless one at that!

Could you please refrase that to we are now only looking at trialists and signing no one.

L'Oreal were about to announce a huge men's hair products deal with Rangers' £7m -rated striker Nikica Jelavic. Unfortunately the deal has fallen through because he couldn't stop laughing when he tried to say, "Because I'm worth it!"

Believable4 Unbelievable3

29 Jan 2012 21:25:27
You heard it here first, it's a fact, this is 100% true. This is what you see all the time on here but let me tell you this. We all know Jelavic is away so with the money we get Ally will get Sandaza and Templeton in. You can slag me all you want but this is a FACT.
I'm not leaving my name lol.

Just a question ed , how can we have a 10 million black hole and Celtic run to a profit? Celtic have 3 times the wage bill than rangers {Ed014's Note - Obviously Celtic have been better ran off the field.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Question for Celtic fans,Titles or money in the bank? Rangers problems are ultimately Scottish Footballs problems,a black cloud hanging over a proud club,i see no reason to gloat,Rangers still won the league for three seasons,without spending huge amounts ,even if it sets Rangers back for 3 years,i dont think we will be far away from trophies in Scotland,the league is weak,and tv money is a pittance.Rangers will survive,for the good of football,that is an issue for us all.Ready,as our motto says,for the fight ahead.

Agree0 Disagree7

Ran off the field nice one Ed.

Agree1 Disagree3

Count up what walter smith spent since he came back you might be surprised,that was all borrowed money adding to a debt your directors knew was getting outa control. green jhedi

Agree5 Disagree0

Your question should be titles and club about to go down the pan or money in the bank? Don't look at the last 3 years look back to the start of the SPL..Rangers have 7 titles and Celtic 6..If Celtic win the league this year it will be 7 titles each and they will have money in the bank and Rangers could go to the wall...Basically Celtic have ran their club correctly within their means and Rangers have borrowed money to keep pace with them...remember it's 7-6 not 3-0!

Agree1 Disagree0

GJ is right i 'think' when wgs was at celtic park & smith went back to rangers im sure they both spend the same amount of monies ?

lenny

Agree0 Disagree1

29 Jan 2012 20:58:59
Ed did we really turn down 9mill from Leicester in the summer or was that another " phantom" offer ... I doubt we did because would whyte of turned them down and if so why - he must of known this would happen to us in this window when all our teams attention should be on is the league an cup not who's coming or where did he p!ss of to - an let's face the cold light of day jelavic ain't a 10mill player. In the summer it should of been decided he goes now if not it's next summer after euro an we could of avoided this embarrassment to our club. macGER {Ed014's Note - The Leicester bid amounted to £6.5m but that was including add ons.

celtic have a draw in inverness in the cup coming up meaning a replay will be needed they will also slip up against hearts mid week at tyncastle followed by a draw at home to caley they are playing mince at the moment scraping results it wont last long *ksd*

We should worry about ourselves. Celtic beat Inverness at Inverness earlier on and so what makes you think it will be a replay?

Agree2 Disagree0

You have been saying for months Celtic will slip up. Well they gave not and we have.

Well get a coupon on those results mate i would think an accumulator would be great odds! remember and post the slip to prove you aint full of it. green jhedi

Also if you know all of the above going to give your club the lotto numbers for Wednesday ?

Lenny

Agree3 Disagree1

Celtic have already had their dip in form remember, at the start of the season when you went 15 points clear:D

and even today, playing well below par, we still managed 3 goals, had one ruled wrongly for offside, hit the post twice and had at least 2 stonewall penalties denied

so....if thats us playing poorly and scraping by....god help the spl when we hit form!


taco

Agree6 Disagree0

This is the best form you've got Taco and you still look pash, and as for 'you've had your dip in form', what, you're only allowed to have one? You've been grinding out results, well done (I actually mean it) but just like most of us new at the start of the season when we we're doing the same, it will not last. We'll keep the pressure on, you keep on hoping that HMRC do you a solid. duccablue

29 Jan 2012 20:56:22
What ever happened to the bidding war for the in demand Jelavic? Surely that wasnt spin was it? What an idiot Craig Whytes gonna look when he gos for far less than the 9.5m un named club un named source! Whats the betting on a tuesday night last minute undisclosed fee routine.. Still if any lot deserve it its you mugs.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Happenin boys? Gotta say, we were carrying 3 passengers yedterday in Wylde, Wallace and Bartley. Fantastic result though! Aluke has been a revelation although I fear he might fade away once he gets a permanent deal. We could do a lot worse than Farid from Falkirk as a welcome addition if we sell Jelly.

Right Percy's, now Celtic are top and on a fantastic winning streak, let's ask the question, is there any player currently in the Rankers team that would be good enough to slot into the current Celtic team, the club that plays the most attractive and effective football in the league!

There is no player that would get into our side, absloutely no chance! Funny how things can change within the space of half a season! lol

Miko x

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Celtic are so boring to watch and the goasl they score are always tap ins from about 5 yards ( with the exception of a free kick every 3 - 4 games. And ofcourse there is rangers players that would get into the celtic team haha look at your centre backs not to mention the likes of cha and samaras. McGregor (Most clean sheets and 4 times the player Foster will ever be), Jela ( STILL top goalscorer this season), Davis (Not been at his best this season but still got most assists this season). Obviously Naisy would walk into that celtic team at full fitness. Aluko is good enough aswell.

AH

Agree2 Disagree5

McGregor, Bocanegra, Goian, Jelavic.

Agree2 Disagree4

Your whole back four is mince izzy got hooked at ht cause he is finished, goian bocanegra papac davis aluko jelavic mervan mcgregor would all get a game easily and we have the best player in scotland naismith, loovens rogne wilson maj samagash bangura, paddy mc1minute,fat commons,wanyamaha there all mince *ksd*

Agree2 Disagree6

McGregor, overrated. He's a fumbler, nearly as bad as big Rab D! lol

Goian, aye right then, he should be goian home!

Bocanegra, he's no Rogne!

Jelavic, he takes your penalties, that's the only reason he's top scorer. I was at the last Old Firm game and he was pants!

Aluko? pmsl....ahead of Forrest? pmsl

Naismith aint current, Percy!

Wee frodo (Davis), didn't impress at last Old Firm game - spent the whole game hiding!

*ksd* what a sad sack you are! celik? after 20 minutes on sat. grow up. green jhedi

29 Jan 2012 19:45:09
Hopefully we can ship Jelavic out, the performance yesterday showed we are better without him. Recently he has been missing alot of sitters. He needs about 5 clear chances to take 1 and quarter of his goals this season have been from penalties. I think he looks unfit this is maybe the reason he has not been so good for the past 2 months. SC

Believable4 Unbelievable3

29 Jan 2012 19:10:52
Rangers fans please please please accept jelly belly isn't that good and no decent team wants him.the only reason cw wants him sold is because he knows something about the tax case and needs funds!7.5 million?try lowering it to maybe 5 million at a push and maybe even Alloa might be interested but until use do that please don't talk push. Why don't use write into the judge in the sunday mail to see if he can get use of with this tax case.no doubt use will get summoned to pay the lawyers that are representing use just now!

Everton in the hunt for that dud Jelavic, a queue of trialists coming and going, players sent out on loan, no signings, your great rivals pinching your top targets, dwindling attendances.........

Jelavic will be sold on Tuesday and there will be no transfer funds for McChins to reinvest.

The future's green and whyte.....and a treble. Mone the hoops!

Lol, your club cheated their way to titles over the last 10-15 years because your club is a tax evader. That's why you'll be punished, that's why we'll be dominant and that's why your club's skint!

CW is an administrator, not an investor!

Up ye, Percy! lol

We score goals from all over the park Frances, it's called total football, lol......unlike the dross your mob serve up.

I was at the last Old Firm game and he didn't impress at all. He and frodo spent the majority of the game hiding, they're imposters! There's no way they'll get £7m for him.

Agree3 Disagree1

Lol, yes, you are the people!

Miko x

Agree3 Disagree1

Seasons not over tomorrow but there's along way to go & the next 52 hours will be important to both teams. If jelavic goes who do rangers sign ? I don't know the recovery time of Naismith but will be back this season ?

Ally is a puppet to whyte & whytes just at rangers to sink it & make money & bolt. I'm sure if he makes 18m for one years work then I'm sure he can put his feet up for the rest of his days. Celtic were very ropey at the start of the season hence why it's took us so long to get our feet on the ground & running

I do think it will go to the wire & I think rangers will go top after the next OF game however I think Celtic will steal it during the spilt.

Anyway well done to Celtic for beating Falkirk...something rangers could do......

Hook ready....

Lenny

Agree2 Disagree2

Hes top scorer due to the amount of dodgy penaltys awarded to you diving cheats!

Agree2 Disagree3

Aaaaah Miko has come out from under his Rock!

It's funny because I am pretty sure Wallace did score in the last old firm game, but you don't hear us crying out conspiracy!

I think it's hilarious he reverts to juvenile tactics when he has been proven wrong in discussion.

the few games we have played without jelavis we have done allot better jelavic usally slows down the play and without him we play like the best team in scotland (which we are already) if we flog him for like 7-8m up front a would get a right back (jaager) midfielder(claros and bruins) and get a striker or two (gurerra and/or salihi) and maybe a few young people for the future i know theres 3 days left but some of these could happen

Good evening ostriches, not long back from Hampden, comfortable win, despite usual "naughty" refs and linesmen. Good goal chalked off, TWO penalties denied. Still we are not your lot, we do not need referees to win us games.
But my main point, apparently Whyte came in a promise to make Rangers a force again, alas he misheard and is well on course to make Rangers a FARCE again LOL Timalloy

GCUK

Even winning you lot go on about refs. Let's look at it dodgy penalty because if that's a penalty then keep your baldy swede in reserve because he does that every game. The free kick wasn't a free kick. The kick in the players face should never have went without a card but it's been like this all season.

I think its about time Craig Whyte came out and told the truth whats happening with the shambles that is Rangers FC . Im sick of picking up the paper every day to more negative news . He at the very least owes the fans an explanation as to whats happening with players , tax case , Ellis and the severe lack of investment !

Believable5 Unbelievable1

CWs only way to make money is when we go into administration. If we don't he will never make money from us. Therefore he is hoping and driving us towards administration. This is what he does, that is his job. We will sell jela and if lucky spend his wages on one or two. The hints have been there since the day he took over and yet some ppl believe his pledges despite lie after lie after lie.

He's not going come out and say I'm a conman is he? Think we all know what he's up to, if you don't waken up.

Just read some Everton fans comments on Jelavic,saying they have had enough dross from Rangers,does that include big Duncan Ferguson,or Arteta,what a clueless lot they must be,the best two players they have had in twenty years,no wonder Davie Moyes get annoyed with the fans,second biggest club on Merseyside.

Players arriving on trial and pissing off again. We,re interested in this player, that player but we all know we won,t get any bloody plaer .

We were always renowned for treating our targets really well, we made them feel special, welcom and wanted.
What's happening we are only after, loan deals, players with no club or not in the plans of their current clubs, or pre contact agreements. If we are to sign a new player then it's only after we sell or loan or players leave. I know we don't have a lot of money but what happened to the 5 million Whyte PLEDGED TO GIVE ALLY eh where did this money go? Or does he have any money at all?

Rangers will win the SPL with or without Jelavic, the team in the second half yesterday were creative, and a joy to watch at times, too many doubters on here, this time last season it was the same. Remember we have the bottle. Tried and tested. Our manager loves our club it's in his veins! The Celtic support honestly think they are world beaters, I'm watching the Falkirk game and hey are very very very average. Stick together Rangers fans. Support the team not just in the glory! We will win the Spl and will bring in at least 2 good players in this window! Oh and c'mon Falkirk they are mince!

Russian businessman iva loadsacashpal buying rangers from whyte, on a serious note, we have become a farce club the great club we love looks to be in ruins, administration looks to be on its way no money to buy anyone half decent, when we want a player we offer nothing like his value and miss out -thats if we really wanted him, i know its been tried in the past but right now our club needs us more than ever, we have to do something to take control oust whyte he isnt helping the club he has cut us short on promises weve looked cheap in everything we do, deals played out in the media we maybe skint but theres a way to do things-the rangers way not this mince weve seen since whytes came in and the last few years of murrays tenture, is it possible for rangers fans to buy the club appoint a board of rangers minded businessmen and get back on our feet- i cant stand to see what our club has turned into- murray built a dynasty and then pulled the foundations away, he`s probs ripped whyte off in the long run! if we stand by and let this happen we will not only risk losing rangers but the ethics that men like struth, smith, grieg, mcphail, wallace, cooper, jardine created over the decades- im scared of what lies ahead on this path im starting to think we should lead the club
stg

Believable9 Unbelievable3

I could not agree more, the club should never be owned by one man. We have seen the debacle of Murray & Whyte. Whatever these men are, they are businessmen and as such want to make a profit. Nothing wrong with that but the integrity of both men are in question. I think a consortium of rangers minded businessmen is required but the fans have to chip in. If every fan that was in Manchester gave what they spent in Manchester, we would be debt free even if we lost the tax case. It is time for the fans to make it clear that this is unacceptable. There seems to be little feeling of disgrace that the club with 140 years of history and tradition, is likely to go into administration, as if it is an end to clear the problems, and for some to make a quick buck. I run a business that was established in 1966 , and would be devasted if my business went into admin, I would do everything I could to stop that happening, there should be pride, and that is a small business, this is an institution we are talking about. I have to say that we have sat back and watched as our club is dragged through the courts and the mud. It is time to stand up and be counted. I can tell you that if this was going on across the city there would be demonstrations in the street.

Good win for the Gers yesterday. I was a bit concerned at the amount of times Hibs got in behind our full-backs though, the full-backs were pushed up a bit too high for my liking.

Possibly the best I have seen Edu and Davis playing together, hopefully a performance like that will give them a bit of confidence to build on it. Edu was ACTUALLY looking for the ball and retained possession very well. I hope we get Aluko signed on a permanent contract, I was sceptical of his signing but he has absolutely brilliant.

I think McCoist should look to loan out Greg Wylde, I'm sorry but the lad just ain't got it. He has no confidence nor ability to beat a man. I don't know whether to point the finger at him or McCoist, the lad has ability and potential but thus far he hasn't progressed. McCoist really has to start getting this young lad on an individual training program and work on every aspect of his game.

Greg Wylde was played out of position
on the right yesterday,had to keep bringing the ball back to his left to try and get a cross in,once their defenders seen this he was easy meat for them.

He might have been played out of position but he should have the confidence to take a guy on. He is too predictable, even when he is playing on the left, defenders can read him like a book. By being played on the right he should be starting to vary his game a bit more so that defenders can't read him like a book..

to sensible rangers fans: jg,pappy,govanfr,blue4ever.any truth in whats been printed that rapid are due a sell on? has the full fee been paid?and any tryth in this story that murray takes a fee for every player ,who comes through at murray park,after a set amount of first team games? if this is true thats a disgrace,hasnt he taken enough out of rangers? i know some die hards think he spent big but how?it was your money.iv met ally on more than a few occasions n he is a nice bloke but either he's lying to keep a job he loves or he's getting the shaft from whyte. i cant understand why you are not using the supporters assoc to ask whyte questions. no baiting just an honest question cos we were there once n demanded change. green jhedi

Believable4 Unbelievable4

I think the theme here is we just don't know what's going on. If it is true that rangers have to pay Murray for using the players it's a disgrace, I'd question why whyte would agree to that. As far as rapid go I'd assume there is done sort f sell on clause but I think we have payed everything now. The tax case must be resolved before we go asking serious questions because it provides a shield for whyte when it comes to asking him about the finances.

GovanFR

Agree0 Disagree0

Only the people at Ibrox know if rapid have a percentage of the transfer fee. As for does murray get a percentage of kids that come through to the 1st team the answer is No. Any player that makes the step up to the under 19s Rangers football club pay for the boy that makes step up but it's rangers youth that gets the money so they can redevelop more promising young players No money ever went to Murray. This is s**t stirring at the highest level Get a life you's its always the same 1s on this website post am/pm timnaemates

Agree1 Disagree0

Honest and hopefully sensible answers to your questions are
Don´t know
Don´t know
Don´t know
Don´t know but looks like murray has put more in than he took out
It was not the fans money that enabled us to make big signings when they were brought in a few years ago,
both of the old firm recently have not been surviving on gate money, advertising, and sponsorship, they depend upon loans, cash input from other sources etc,
Dont think ally is lying but there are times in any business when you need to be a bit more economical with the truth
last point, enough has been written on our current situation that we dont need to ask questions at this stage, we know where we stand and we need to wait for the outcome of the case which we are currently disputing with the tax man
I can understand why whyte is not coming out with statements everyday he has already stated money is tight and we need to wait for the outcome, there are also times when you do not air your laundry in public.

We have good players - edu , aluko, goian and boca have been superb of late - davis was better yesterday - and players such as bedoya and ortiz can offer more - and the new boy celik looks a player - - lets get behind ally and the boys and help them make it 4 in a row

I don't understand the mentality of some of the "fans" on here (unless they're just Jungle Jims at the wind up)
Basically my gripe is that they moan that we are not signing players (valid point) but then moan that we give trials to players that we can't offer contracts to (again fair enough) but then say that its some publicity stunt to appease the fans and that Jelavic will be sold on last day so Whyte can say we had no time to replace him.
I think it's fair to say that these boys have been identified as decent but Ally wants to run the rule over them then if Jelavic does go he will know exactly what he can bring in to the club without making a last minute gamble into transfer market and as we all know he will get a fraction of the fee which is maybe why he is trying to get a couple of bosmans on low wages to boost numbers and if Jelavic does stay then obviously we will only be able to sign any if we loan out or sell

If what you are saying is correct then it doesn't say much for Rangers scouting system. Five trialists in, five trialists out.

Agree2 Disagree0

And you think this is how we should conduct our buisness?
Get players over with a promise of a contract to then mess them about for a week(if they stay that long and haven't already figured out they won't be offered anything)With a manager telling them he would like to sign them,but needs to sell their main asset first.
When the director of football?? is asked a question about the trialists he replies" ask Ally"
If you think this is the way forward then i'm at a loss to understand your mentality(unless you are one of them) You have contradicted yourself with the majority of your post.
I have finally had it, Season ticket and share holder and feel like i've been locked in a dark room.
Wheres the transparency? wheres the AGM?
You whyte have until tuesday night to save our season but you won't as it's all for one, all for you isn't it?
So, Op my gripe is fans like you with their head still buried in the sand.
If you were out of work and got offered job trial with a large company who needed empolyee's and you came in and did well, impressing your line manager who told you he was impressed and would like you on board only then to be told that they had no money to pay you unless they sell their most productive machine, would you come back? or would you look for something else and forget all about this amature outfit?
Loosing yet another target to Celtic is a slap in the face to the manager and the supporters, The manager was already speaking about teaming him up with Jelevic.

I have been monitoring transfer odds in bookies since the middle of last week and Jelavics nect club was 4/6 West ham with 10/1 QPR and bigger anywhere else
Boyd was 8/11 to be at Rangers by the close of the window.
I had a look again with the same firm at noon on Sunday and Boyd is now 12/1 to be at Rangers and 1/2 Portland Timbers with the Jellyfish now out to 2/1 West Ham and 5/1 PSG with generally 10/1 minimum any other club.
I was wandering if there has been any further developments on either player since Saturday that is public knowledge that I may have missed that has altered these prices?

According to Sky Sports , Brozek is heading to Celtic , which i dont understand because if Jelavic leaves he would be a starter for us , week in week out ( if hes any good) but celtic have too much options in Attack , and with him not being a regulur starter for poland and with them hosting the Euros , you would think he would want as much 1st team football as possible

Celtic fan here in peace. Not being funny, but do any RFC fans really believe that signings will be made anytime soon. The fact that so many trialists have come and gone and none have signed. Aluko paying his transfer fee and RFC unable to afford £3500 per week for the big nigerian striker doesn't look good. I love my team, but would not like to see your team go bust.

The big Nigerian striker was mince and told to leave, I don't think wages had anything to do with it. Rangers didn't even get anywhere near discussing a contract with the guy.

Ally McCoist believes the 4-0 win over Hibernian proves Rangers can survive even if Nikica Jelavic leaves the club.

The striker, who missed Saturday's game at Ibrox with illness, has attracted the interest of a number of clubs during the January transfer window.

McCoist does not want to lose his top goalscorer, but given Rangers financial situation he knows it could be out of his hands.

He said: "There's not just life beyond Nikica, there's life beyond us all.

"There are bigger players who have left this club and the club always goes on. That's the most important thing because the club is the most important thing.

Economics

"But I understand the economics of our club and I understand the economics of football.

"Sometimes they dictate and determine what happens rather than other things."

Rangers were reported to be interested in a move for Polish striker Pawel Brozek, but he is now thought to prefer a move to rivals Celtic.
The Ibrox boss said: "It's a disappointment but I would use the word 'target' a little bit carefully.

"He's a player we were looking at and - I won't lie to you - we were sort of interested in but there were no specific bids made and I didn't have any contact with the player or the agent.

"He's absolutely well within his rights to do what he thinks is best for himself. There's no doubt about that.

"It would take a lot more than that to really disappoint me to be honest."

No deal

Jorge Claros also looks unlikely to be joining Rangers, despite impressing on his trial spell at the club.

McCoist added: "Where we are at the moment with Claros is we are not in a position to offer him a contract yet.

"We will sit down again tomorrow and Monday to discuss the situation. He has done well and he has looked comfortable.

may not just be the rangers that are struggling to find money to bring in new players

last january window in the epl 225m was spent
this year so far 27.9m has been spent

either money is tight, (good example at man utd no money for new midfielders they badly need) or UEFA have actually came up with a good rule to try and even the playing field

Totally agree JG. the new FFP ruling looks like it's finally putting an end to ridiculous transfers in england, which can only be a good thing for the rest of the footballing world.

i guess we wont be seeing jim whyte absolutely creaming himself about the transfer amount when sly sports do their transfer window countdown

Agree money talks , just look at Henry / scholes coming back ? I can honestly say epl will go same as sierra A went in the next few seasons ?

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah they must be a little bit fearful down south. If living in a non-English speaking country wasn't an issue and I had the choice of getting paid £30,000pw while living in Malaga or Tuscany or Blackburn. I know which place I wouldn't choose. No offence to anyone in Blackburn, I'd prefer to live in Tuscany than where I live as well.

Jungle bhoy (you can't be proud of that name surely).

The last 2 players you gazumped us for, Commons & Loovins, have been outstanding.

Hopefully again, we've dodged a dud.

Why are the press and media not demanding answers from Craig whyte, Gordon smith and ally mc coist?
Surely that's their job? We need to know what is really going on , even if it is really bad . At least we can deal with it and move on.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Why are your supporters assoc not leading the true rangers fans in demanding whyte answers pertinent questions? mccoist is either being shafted out the door or is a whyte stooge(which i cant see) its down to supporters to action any questions. green jhedi

What is it with celtic fans posting on this site?. 95% of there posts are really dumb and show a very petty child like view that some celtic fans have.

U do know you have your own site?. I went on there for a bit of research and didn't see one post from rangers fans. They do seem to care more about the Rangers than there own club.

A few posts from celtic fans is ok but it is the repeated dumb rubbish they post that puts me off.

Totally agree, don't mind some banter but there is some coming on here with name calling and repeated pathetic jokes. Yes let's have omega tear about the football but stop the other nonsense.

Agree2 Disagree2

I went to the dark side and tried to ask a sensible question about the size of their remortgage on lennoxtown training ground but got nowhere, dont think their ed liked my question

JG

Agree2 Disagree2

I know mate, there are Celtic fans who spend more time on the Rangers page than the club crest. Very sad individuals.

It is laughable that after we've had these financial problems for 4 years, including not signing anyone on a fee for two years, we are still in contention for 4iar. The reality too is that is it as near as damnit 5iar because they only won their last title because our players were totally shagged after playing 20 more games than them finishing off with 4 in a week.

Is it not funny as f*ck that they think they are being smart coming on here laughing about our money problems when they have been providing football comedy for 5 seasons. Can't they see there is only one joke in town, it is Celtic and Samaras is the punchline.

Agree2 Disagree2

..They are not Celtic fans mate..they are Rangers haters...real Celtic fans talk about their own teams woes..sad!

Agree2 Disagree4

Nothing more dumb than believing someone is coming to bail you lot out, that you will win the tax case.....there's nothing to see here...move on!

celtic fans are on here because you need educated and enlightened, oh and it's a banter page so lighten up. we know you're hurting, but there's no need to post rubbish like this

Totally agree CJM, Ive been away for a while (xmas and a broken laptop) and finally get online again to find Rangers Rumours is now Celtic Random Numptys. They really are obsessed with us bears but I dont mind. The emptiest vessels tend to make the most noise... CheltBlue.
