Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


30 May 2017 22:08:27
Wonder what's happening with Weiss. ? Not heard anything since he tweeted he may be back. We can't sign anyone till 6th June when window opens unless their a free agent. That's correct eh?



31 May 2017 00:33:56
Heard there was no contact from either club to the other and Vlad was just trying to stir up interest. whether that is correct or not i don't know but heard it from a few people who are normally pretty spot on about things.



30 May 2017 21:00:39
I know we need a lot of players but I think our priority should be our defence it has been terrible but don't think Alves is the answer he has no pace and is a time bomb



30 May 2017 21:19:03
He is a Portuguese international do you not realise how good a player you need to be to play at that level he is there third choice behind carvallio and Pepe name one defender of his stature and quality you would bring in instead?



30 May 2017 21:21:05
neil what planet do you live on alves and the rest of the players we are being link with is exciting and we need more then defenders tbh, things are looking up



30 May 2017 21:37:33
A Euro winner and still a Portuguese international but he's no the answer? U on the booze?



30 May 2017 21:39:18
Haha. not the answer! aye right. Guy is still playing for Portugal at international level. Has played at the highest level for over a decade. Jeezoh! I really do think some of our fans know absolutely heehaw about football.
Rob Keirnan. I'll just leave that there๐Ÿ™„



30 May 2017 21:43:48
Neil are you nuts alves is still wanted at international level



30 May 2017 22:15:58
WTF First post for a while. I do hope you are on a wind up Proven internation with years of experience, knowledge and position are just as important as speed?



31 May 2017 07:22:48
Neil

We have went from signing guys who can't get a game for struggling league 1 teams to hopefully signing a Portuguese internationalist playing regularly in one of the top leagues in Europe.



31 May 2017 08:20:15
Let's be honest, we're nowhere near the team of 6 years ago, but the players being linked are a step or 2 up on current mob.
Will it bridge gap? Over to PC to coach and gel. At least he'll have something to work with



30 May 2017 17:46:26
If 3 million for Pena is true without anyone being sold then maybe money is being made available to spend. Maybe too many years of scaremongering and reality of the fact we had no money makes me sceptical about it. I am buoyed by the fact the shaggers seems to be losing a fair chunk of their squad and take with a huge pinch of salt the dirty ones would even look near hayes. If half of what we have been linked to comes true and within budget next season I may be looking more forward to than I thought possible.



30 May 2017 17:58:58
In generally excited about this transfer wall84 and looks like we're bringing a total different class of player than that loaf of bread brought in! Pena, Alves, Jack, Dorrans and possibility of Herrera, Dalcio, Naismith, cordoso and Walker and it could look good for us next season hopefully ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ



30 May 2017 17:34:03
Certainly hope we sign Pedro rebocho if rumours are true he looks an excellent left back and only 22 years old. ๐Ÿ™.



30 May 2017 19:37:50
You can always tell when fans of the players current club put up a good YouTube compilation that the player is well regarded haha!



30 May 2017 16:25:17
Need to get over what happened years ago with Naismith etc aswell. Done what was best for his family. I'd have done the exact same thing.
Gers fans at times are a bitter bunch of negative b@@tards. That's how the outside world sees us.
Need to quit all the nonsense an just get back to supporting our team.



30 May 2017 17:39:31
that's the point. we always support our team. always. always.



30 May 2017 17:55:07
So maybe you should quit



30 May 2017 18:23:53
People go on about, he was doing what was best for his family. He had the chance to transfer onto the same contract and let's be honest we would have accepted any transfer fee for him and he would have been off to the EPL all the same. But he decided to line his pockets as much as possible and ABANDONED us when we needed him most. What goes around comes around - I hope he and his pals never come back to ibrox (not even as spectators) they are not welcome!



30 May 2017 18:59:50
It was his decision to make not yours. He is a quality player who would improve OUR team. Who are you to decide who is welcome in OUR stadium. Short sighted if you ask me but everyone is entitled to their opinion including Steven Naismith.



30 May 2017 21:03:10
I'm with Zikos, I will not be welcoming any of that lot back to Ibrox. Like any right minded person I never expected them to stay in the Third division, and in fact we couldn't afford them too. But to walk away leaving the team with no transfer money was nothing short of scandalous (no matter what Green may have done with the money as they weren't to know he was dodgey) . Footballers jobs are not like yours and mine. I am not a monetary asset to my work, footballers are. They took advantage of the situation in order to line their own pockets. And now they think they can walk back in once we are doing better?



30 May 2017 21:31:54
It doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks about Steven Naismith or any other player, if the manager wants them and a deal can be agreed then they will join the club. As fans we need to support the club, the team and the manager.



30 May 2017 22:58:49
I think most folk thought Green was dodgey. Not surprising that players would have felt completely disillusioned with our club at that time. Esp after the Craig Whyte fiasco! Anyway if Naithsmith came back i'd be delighted, as with any of the names we're being linked with.



30 May 2017 16:23:15
All I read on here is- don't want dorrans, don't want Naismith, don't want Alves, don't want moult, don't want Cummings. Youz lot are deluded.
Then we are linked to some random Portuguese defender an it's all " oooooh he looks decent" sign him up.
Wonder what's wrong with some folk on here at times. Any of the top four or five players I mentioned above sign for us then they will VASTLY improve our team



30 May 2017 16:30:06
I think what Pedro is doing is very shrewd. He's building a Scottish spine to the team and then surrounding that with Portuguese and Mexican players. There still seems to be a bit of snobbery around the local name vs foreign name.

I'm looking forward to seeing these players in action but I do also feel that by placing a Scottish spine into the team, that the team won't loose their identity. All of these foreign players don't know what Rangers are all about. Same could be said for all the lower league English players we currently have = no winning mentality.

If all of our signing targets come off I think we'll be a force to be reconned with. Only question is how long will it take us to gel. I've got total trust in Pedro.



30 May 2017 17:41:01
sounds like a negative robot



30 May 2017 14:39:49
every player rangers are linked with is either portugese or mexican maybe next season we can order a nice portugese red along with some burritos or enchilladas at the concourse at HT ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.



30 May 2017 13:18:26
Anybody know what's happening about buying football tops its getting quite anoying now that i can't buy my self and my son the new rangers shirts with out getting daggers from other fellow suporters will there be any solution to this situation or will this keep going on untill the mile ashley deal is sorted.



30 May 2017 13:30:12
If you are happy to buy the merchandise, go ahead and buy it. Don't be swayed because you think others will disapprove. Personally I wouldn't buy it, but It has nothing to do with me whether others choose differently. Life is too short to be worried what others think.



30 May 2017 13:38:06
It is annoying but could have some time to go yet considering Ashley's seven year exit clause was only triggered in 2015. King did mention earlier this year that he hoped to have a proper kit launch this summer. That statement in itself was vague. What does a proper kit launch constitiute?

I think we'll first get to see the new kit when Bruno Alves signs (either this week or next) . Until then I'd buy the lion brand one instead of official merchandise. At least you'll not get growlers (no lion pun intended) .



30 May 2017 12:37:56
Jamie walker has told ian cathro he wants to leave - sky sports news.



30 May 2017 13:45:12
He won't be coming to us tho looks like Pedro has his targets abroad



30 May 2017 19:45:59
Pedro has already stated he is targeting players home and abroad, same he has done at all the club's he has been at. Looking at players he knows for sure but also with an open mind at some stand out performers in the spl. Not like there is a huge amount of players for him to try and figure out the good ones here.



30 May 2017 10:51:20
Just a thought but with rangers trying to sign all these players early on will it not drop the valuation of players already at the club? Having excess players ther other teams may try cheeky bids knowing rangers have to sell to balance the books.



30 May 2017 11:56:37
Most of them don't have any value as it is. Plus clubs already know we want to replace them.



30 May 2017 13:46:49
There is no value to them apart from mackay the rest I'd say take whatever we can get just want them off the wage bill and out the way asap!

30 May 2017 10:48:10
What counts as a cheeky bid for our players? Any bid is a good bid for some of our dross.



30 May 2017 10:51:24
that you are ref to is supply and demand.

we need to have demand to sell first

but your right we will now be in a position where we need to trim the wage will

but DK is not daft he will have a plan



30 May 2017 10:06:28
what do you guys think the formation will be next year?

I read that Pedros preferred formation was 4-4-2 but he has played 4-3-2-1 more often when he came in.



30 May 2017 10:17:13
Where did you read that Pedro likes a 4-4-2? He likes a 4-4-2 Double 6 - otherwise known as a 4-2-2-2 Which can also set up to be a 4-2-3-1



30 May 2017 10:59:02
read it in the daily record when they did a bit about him back in march. I see that from transfmarkt they state its a double 6 formation.

Interesting, that might be why he's willing to let McKay go as he has no plans for out and out wingers.



30 May 2017 11:04:39
Pedro has stated he wants McKay on a new contract? Only the papers have said he is free to go.



30 May 2017 09:34:40
Really hope the pena deal is a go ahead, the boys insane. Got a great eye for goal, good footwork and he's hard as nails. Seems to just be in the right place at the right time.



30 May 2017 12:22:26
Pena is defenely the most exciting target in my view exsactly what we need



30 May 2017 08:35:13
Is it any coincidence that the "spine" of the team is being "sorted" (by the press reports) maybe MW was unlucky with Barton / Rossiter / Crooks but he never really sorted that fundamental.



30 May 2017 09:46:11
Otterhound, I think you are right about bad luck that Warburton had. How could he have foreseen Barton would act like a complete dork and that Crooks and Rossiter would be injured? He made bad signings but to be fair to him that was unlucky. It seems that Alves, Jack and Dorrans are going to sign and Pena is flying in from Mexico for talks.



30 May 2017 10:10:59
Barton had a track record of being an idiot, rossiter was known to be made of chocolate and crookes was injured before he came so rather than being unlucky I'd say he was clueless



30 May 2017 10:18:23
"Barton would act like a complete dork" - It seems more like barton gave a good few home truths and the likes of Halliday and Warburton couldn't handle that.



30 May 2017 10:26:14
If they do all sign then it's looking good for next year. A ball winning CB and a goal scorer has to be next on list and it's positives all round for new season.
