This is a plea to our manager ally mccoist from a season ticket holder of over 30 years, ally, if your hell bent in signing another striker then forget sidibe the guy we've got on trial and go and get the wee striker who's under your nose, nacho novo, for me it's a no brainer, novo knows the expectations at rangers inside out and has been there and got the t shirt there is no risk whatsoever in giving novo a 1 year deal with a further year option, for the record the algerian winger bouazza who's on trial is a good player but sidibe's scoring record is very poor and o wouldn't touch him, I really hope & think we should sign Craig Gordon and bosnian centre half boris pandza, what do you think of this fellow gers fans? BIG RAM!

30 Jul 2013 00:18:40
Im not sure about nacho i'm 50/50 but what I will admit like a lor of Gers fans I have a huge soft spot for him. I mean the reception the wee man got on sunday INCREDIBLE! BIG RAM, I agree I would like to sign pandza two for a solid back line a give us a great spine to our team along with the other boys we have signed, what u think about sidebe and bouazzza? Sidebe especially is a no go for me like, have u seen the guys injury record!

Let the "Wee Desperado" into the "Big Hoose" cause it's embarrassing to watch!

He could, nt get 90 mins when he was younger. and when will jigs legs go. no sorry no

Opinions on our trialists Sidibie and Bouazza?

I think Bouazza is half decent, however, I do not rate Sidibie and think he would be a waste on the wage bill.

EDs? {Ed001's Note - not sure on either, whenever I have watched them play, both have looked poor. Admittedly Sidibe has struggled with long term injury issues, but he doesn't look like he is ever going to get back to his best. Bouazza I have just never seen anything special about. I would think, if the style of play was suited to them, they would be more than good enough to return to the top flight, but I just don't see a need for them. I just think Rangers need to be looking to give more youth players a chance, rather than bringing in players for a short term boost.}

Well said ED totally agree give youth their chance. MacAusland and Gallacher certainly didn't let us down yesterday. Like somebody on the Rangers Standard recently wrote why didn't Gallacher not play in the last 5 games last year when the league was won? Ally on giving a reason for loaning him out is his lack of first team games -doh! Gasparato should be ahead of Cribari and McLeod will prosper under Law's guidance. Wee Barry is the biggest concern- will he get another chance with the extra options in midfield/attack this year? I hope so- real potential in the wee man.

Why are we even considering these journeymen? Possibly neither have had a decent per season, neither wil have any knowledge or passion for our club and both will want a decent wedge with no real desire to set the heather alight if they are on the bench week in week out. Just a thought but why are we not even considering Boyd? If Killie can afford his wages we certainly can, he knows the set up, loves the club and would probably break world goal scoring records with the service he would get in self 2 then 1. Thoughts?. WATP

Have to agree with the ED give the young players their chance to many has beens just looking for a wage. steveblue

Our last 2 friendlies are in between competative games so I don't think we should be messing about and trying even more trailists both players are too old anyway could see them getting signed if they do well against newcastle hope not though

McCoist has been on a winning streak with his 8 signings and now's not the time to get silly and mess things up. We don't need to up the wage bill with recruiting foreign players past their sell by date nor prevent opportunities for our youth to stake a place. I'm 100% with the OP and Ed on this one.

Hameur Bouazza and Mamady Sidibe both coming on trial at Ibrox. McCoist has confirmed and commented on this today.

Putting to bed for the time being the other mince about Adam Rooney, Ricardo Fuller and the even bigger porky about Leigh Griffiths who has just been given the number 9 shirt at Wolves. Hibs were told not for sale 6 weeks ago aswell so pure fantasy.

Bouazza is a dumpling and Sidibe at 33 has amassed an incredible 48 goals in 355 games. 1 in 7 ratio.

Bouazza has always had positive reviews down south. Bit harsh saying he is a dumpling. I do remember us being linked with him once before.

Sidibe on the other hand is the wrong way to go.

Gblue

@1) Mate, i'm not being harsh honestly Bouazza is a dumplin. He had his one and only good season at Watford when they were in the Prem, and how long ago was that? Fulham signed him on the back of that for 3 million and ever since he has got worse and worse. They loaned him out twice and after they freed him to go to Sivaspor he lasted 5 DAYS there before changing his mind and mutually terminating his contract. 5 clubs since then and played for 12 in all. He isn't even a striker which I thought we were looking for, he plays on the left.

29 Jul 2013 22:46:37
2) So what griffiths has been giving the number 9 shirt at wolves, it still dosent take away the fact he only has a year left in his contract, if they don't sell in january then they will receive no money for him in the summer but like I've said unless player or clubs change there mind the fee and terms with rangers have already been agreed!

29 Jul 2013 14:03:03
Not a cheep about the pyrotechnics yesterday? There was a lot of comment about your east end neighbours' use of them and they were rightly condemned by most. Usually ignited by children with short attention spans who are there for the party, not for the football. The authorities must bear their share of responsibility as they see fit to display this behaviour at high profile football occasions (internationals, CL final, etc) but maybe they use a different kind of smoke. But they then feign indignation and punish fans of clubs who follow their lead. Hypocrisy or what?

Ex stoke city striker Mamady Sidibe training with Rangers with a view to win a permanent contract!

Hope not, silky African players is the last thing we need for the 2nd division.

Sidibe is by no means a "silky" player he is a big target man who used to be the focus of Rory delaps long throws for Stoke and as a fan living in england I've seen (or had seen as I didn't realise he was still playing ) quite a bit of him. He's pretty dam bad! Would be just like kevin Kyle probably.

29 Jul 2013 10:07:43
Everyone on here shouting about strikers, we don't need strikers, we need a defender, we've got a decent strike force, 2 more commanding centre half, should see us threw this league.

Absolute rubbish, this league should be well covered with the existing squad. Any additional signings should be for the future.
If any good young players are available and are worth investment then fine, but we should continue with the development of our youths.
billyb

Totally agree @1, if we attack teams like yesterday we won't need a defense because teams in 2nd division won't cope with our midfielders and forwards pushing them back, last 30 mins Albion players ran out of energy because they chased the ball so much, the high ball tactic ally used last year played right into the hands of 3rd division teams.

We need at least one more striker if we're to compete in all cups this season, would like to see a younger Kenny miller type player with a bit of pace (not wee nacho), not sure if sidibe of stoke is the way to go if the rumours are true but we do need another striker and probably more importantly at least another central defender. The problem ally has got is us fans want him to play the young lads who just aren't ready (not all at the same time anyway)

Glad to see some quality goals today and a bit more of the passing and attacking play we want to play next 2 years so we are hopfly a quality bonded together team. My main point I wanted to make was about the Fergie style DISGRACEFUL pressure Lennon has put on the boy Banguroot, the rules are crystal clear and Cltic actually f****d up not puting a clause in his contract. I really hope he sticks a couple of goals in and puts Celtic out the CL. Would be a pleasure to see him kick the water bottle again. Sadly I actually see his tactics paying off and also I feel they are too strong a team not to beat the Swedes. WATP her's to Sept 1st and first real strong Rangers team since they all deserted us. george

If the malmo vs hibs result is anything to go by then the Swedish league is stronger then the Scottish league, Celtic will find this a very tough tie, p. s. what does bangura own Lennon and Celtic, Lennon never gave the guy a chance and couldn't wait to get him out the door at every transfer window.

Why are you bothered about Bangura? Or is it just a chance to kick Lennon you were looking for?

Come on now George. Your team has a decent result yesterday and you're still obsessing about Neil Lennon? I didn't see him being lectured by the referee yesterday for his behaviour (or lack)on the touchline. Is your obvious hatred anything to do with him being a Catholic captain of the Northern Ireland football team or something less obvious? I doubt if you've ever met the man to form an opinion.

Paddy Malarkey

Oh such bitter jealousy is typical of your wee club. JK

'Real strong rangers team' I'd love to see your definition of strong op lol plus if you actually read into it you'd see lennon said bangura is only their for gametime, and still has a future at the club, why would he jeopardise that? Think before you post Mate, gandalf the green

@5 if you believe Lennon about him having a future you are easily led, why is he always the 1st player Lennon tries to get out? He has no future and any normal minded person can see it.

@3 Funi Paddy actually met him at Gleneagles the year the trophy flew from there to Rangers after we beat the Arabs while you bottledit as usual, the amazing thing is my personal opinion of him was formed that day, a good sport and intelligent guy (i know you wouldn't think) I was his worst nightmare he was with Mjalby and meeting Jackie mcnamarra (spelling sori) for his birthday. All he got was me singing the Bluebells are blue EVERY time I wnt to the bar it was HEAVEN for me LENNON and we just won the League. that said I ended up buying him a few pints and he took it in good natured piss take it was. he would remember a I used a credit card I have from mycashplus with Keyser Sozee name on it he enjoyed his drinks paid for by a Usual Suspect. had a laugh with him and it was nice for me to see like tommy burns and peter grant whom I had met in Victorias years ago NOTHING like their on field persona nice intelligent guys. I hate celtic and did hate him but that day changed my opinion as he gave me one of my best nights ever singing the bluebells ALL night at him good sport. TRUE story if any tims that are constantly on here he would remember that night. WATP . george

Lennon loaned him to Sedes no don't PLAY CLAUSE and he is putting pressure on to stop him playing would be funny he knocked you out, I never post about you lot ALWAYS about gers ONLY INTERESTED IN OUR SITE think been onyour site once in 2 years over last 2 years. this just really annoyed me. george

@5 This is a strong team SINCE deserters left after liquidation the STRONGEST in all that time. obviously not compared to the 9 in a row team or the teams that have won 54 titles world record strength timmy. george

George, I support the Mighty Jags and we don't do bottling-abject surrender and snatching a loss from the jaws of victory are more our forte. Like most of the Thistle faithful, I don't bevvy - I'm hard enough to watch our s**** without a drink. Why go off on one out pf nowhere?Somebody yanking your chain?

just want to mention young sebastien faure for today's game. He strolled through it and considering the stick he got last season I think he was terrific.

Are you serious, he gave the ball away more than several times and was turned easily by their forward all to easily, I don't like slating players but faure was our weak link yesterday. BT

You realise that Albion Rovers are truly awful don't you.

He was totally unchallenged throughout the game.

29 Jul 2013 12:00:12
@1 totally agree mate he's appaling is it just me or does argyriou seem tae get most of the flack along with cribari when in actual fact a think there's a decent player to b had with the Greek albeit a only seen him a couple of times last yr but anytime I did he was ok n always looked to get forward in support of the winger in front of him. ad have argyriou over seb Faur� anyday tambo88

Foster will be the right back come 1st of Sept anyway.

@ 5

Faure played centre half yesterday haha. At least watch the games before you comment!
