Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


30 Nov 2020 22:06:00
Shagger all day long for me. Got two decent goalies tho which you need over a title winning season.



01 Dec 2020 09:30:42
Banxger, I agree two great goal keepers, but I feel that Alan's distribution has been dodgy the past few games, he could have cost us a goal last Thursday with his sloppy clearances, great shot stopper, but then so is McLaughlin, but his all round game is better (in my opinion only) at this time.



30 Nov 2020 21:57:09
The offside var decision in the West Ham villa game is proving why var is completely ruining football. When they Have to use measuring tools to work out if a goal is offside or not because it’s so tight then I’m sorry a few millimetres does not merit a goal being disallowed. I really do hope we never bring it in up here it’s an absolute farce down south.



30 Nov 2020 22:14:50
Its disgraceful mate 🙈said from the start it would ruin football and I'm being proved right. I thought it was for clear and obvious errors? Dome decisions are taking 4 minutes and more its an absolute farce.



30 Nov 2020 23:11:10
Agreed Pennyarcade, I watched the game it should have been a penalty and instead the goal was ruled offside by VAR, its an absolute farce and the fans are becoming frustrated with it,



01 Dec 2020 06:42:55
It’s not ruining the game it’s the idiots using it that are ruining the game.



01 Dec 2020 08:25:21
Pennyarcade, offside offside no matter what way you look at it but my query about last nights Aston villa game is when var frozrme the shot to see wether it was offside, the defender clearly had his hands wrapped around the striker so yes goal ruled out for offside but obviously the defender was holding the player before he was offside so should have awarded the penalty.



01 Dec 2020 08:48:37
Hi guys as everyone knows a goal is scored when all of the ball is over all of the line, now when VAR is used should the players body not be over all of the line as well when ruled offside, this is just nonsense when a player is deemed off side because his baw hair is over the line its a absulute farce.



01 Dec 2020 09:14:10
Living in the midlands and watching it weekly I have to agree its a farce. I call it VIR video instead of referee, i thought it was to assist referees if they couldn't make a decision, but no, they make a decision in real time and then someone over rules them. I would not want to see it in its present form in Scottish football, i mean offside by the length of someone's big toe is ridiculous!



01 Dec 2020 09:33:51
Yes, the rule says the whole ball should have crossed the line, and the goal line technology is working great, the VAR on offside should be the whole body also, otherwise t he player is level, and therefore onside.



01 Dec 2020 10:36:47
I agree atleast the players feet must be in front of defenders if you be classed as offside! Also agree with the amount of time the officials looked at it they never came to the conclusion it was a penalty is shocking. It was either a penalty or a goal but unfortunately for villa is was neither. It should be used when linesmen could not tell if it was offside or not the fact players don’t even celebrate straight away now awaiting a var decision bores the life out of me.



30 Nov 2020 21:23:59
So since the summer of 2018 when gerrard arrived at rangers Celtic have made an outlay on 13 players. Edouard 9.75, Bayo 2.01, Shved 1.8, Jullien 7.2, klimala 3.6,
Bolingoli 3.01, Soro 2.07, Elhamed 1.62, Taylor 3, Ajeti 4.95, Barkas 4.5, Turnbull 2.75 and Duffy 1.98 loan fee. That’s a total of 47.76 million pounds. Of these 13 players you could make an argument that only edouard and jullien have been a succes so that would mean Celtic have spent 30 million on bang average players who have contributed little to nothing. In contrast we have spent money on 11 players. Goldson 3.06, Barisic 2.2, Katic 2.05, Grezda 1.8, Murphy 1.08, Kent 6.48, Helander 3.51, Edmundson 706k, Roofe 4.5, Hagi 3.15 and Itten 2.7 million at a total of 31.23 million. With the exception of Grezda and Murphy and possibly Edmundson ( who knows if he still has a future at the club) every other player is playing their part in this monumental season and it’s credit to the recruitment team for being able to find players worthy of the jersey that are actually contributing to the cause as opposed to the other side of the city.



30 Nov 2020 22:10:21
Broxi we have had a fair few development fees in there aswell and possibly a couple of our loans may have cost a small fee but 100% on the whole our recruitment has been excellent. The fact we have got rid of a shed load of dead wood. Wilson has been instrumental to this and I believe he has been just as big a signing as Gerrard is. If only we had got him when we first wanted him!



30 Nov 2020 22:15:47
Forgot to mention Kamara but at 50k it’s almost as good as a free transfer in today’s market 😂 penny was only adding players that have had a transfer fee, if I’d added free transfers and loans I would have been at it all night.



01 Dec 2020 07:42:00
We would've got Glen for free if we'd waited till the end of the season. He must be the steal of the century. Playing brilliantly and has found a very high level of consistency.



01 Dec 2020 08:41:15
Broxi Bear

Can’t agree about Itten playing his part and so far he has been decidedly average for the £2.7m.



30 Nov 2020 19:47:33
Hi just checking out various YouTube videos and loving the meltdown in the east end.

Can't wait to see what their like when we win 55.



30 Nov 2020 20:19:12
Aye, long as that’s this season.



30 Nov 2020 20:55:25
I can't believe that they haven't got rid of Lennon. The phone in is a riot. 😭😭😭👍.



30 Nov 2020 22:13:08
Agree Coldo, I'm absolutely astonished to see him still there. Long may it continue.



30 Nov 2020 22:38:17
They will coldo, just as soon as his replacement is found, I believe he will not be there on Sunday, wouldn’t surprise me if they are trying to tempt Clark away right now, or strachan, and maybe blessed Martin will stab his love child in the back, and I wouldn’t rule out a left field move as a stop gap, like Ross jack, maybe they should ask lemons two media mouthpieces, mutton and big John, they seem to know a lot about football management,



30 Nov 2020 22:43:48
I'm surprised he hasn't resigned, he's got some brass neck on him. He will need top of the range body guards in the dug out.



01 Dec 2020 08:02:43
Yea, maybe they'll appoint Sutton and Stewart as joint managers. That'll do for me.



30 Nov 2020 18:56:51
Have a look at this video those of you who were too young to have seen it 8 years ago.



30 Nov 2020 19:23:06
What a chanter.



30 Nov 2020 19:38:37
superb bluebilly.



30 Nov 2020 20:36:57
Absolutely magical Bluebilly, I'll be singing that all night, brilliant, 😁.



30 Nov 2020 20:59:06
Just imagining a full house on Jan 2nd and that playing over the loudspeakers.



30 Nov 2020 21:19:16
The guy that made the video made thousands for charity all those years ago.

He got my pound donation he deserved it.



01 Dec 2020 08:41:15
Magnificent . I’m already humming it. Thanks for posting.



30 Nov 2020 16:49:59
McLaughlin should etain position as top keeper. Thought looked very comfortable yesterday and has edge over McGregor at
kicking and distribution.



30 Nov 2020 17:28:01
We've all got and are entitled to our opinions and although i like/ rate jon mclauglin, its allan mcgregor for me and he's STILL our no.1 goalkeeper 👌.



30 Nov 2020 17:38:12
I actually thought mclau looked a tad shaky yesterday abs was nearly closed down two or three times.



30 Nov 2020 17:46:10
As much as I love greegsy, I get the absolute fear everytime he kickstje ball out 🙈 he is without doubt the best shot stopper in the country though. 👍🏻.



30 Nov 2020 18:17:01
Easy solution to dodgy kickouts from greegsy is stop passing the ball back to him in pressure situations, why can't the defenders not just get rid of the ball into the stand and allow us to regroup.



30 Nov 2020 18:50:59
It’s Greegs jersey to lose, he’s the no1 at the club and Sweep that philosophy would go against everything we are doing at the minute.



30 Nov 2020 19:21:48
Sweep it's because the team has the confidence and self belief to keep the ball, even in tense situations. It might give us the fear at times but they've done well with it so far this season. I wouldn't change a thing this season.



30 Nov 2020 19:46:25
Shagger any day he's more experienced by a country mile.



30 Nov 2020 20:03:00
Quite simply bankie, for me anyway greegs is a better goalie than mclauglin, pure and simple my friend 👌.



30 Nov 2020 20:03:54
So goldson passing the ball back to the goalkeeper for him to kick it out the park is part of the game plan.



30 Nov 2020 20:05:30
Mcgregor is better at saving shots, has great reflexes and is number 1. McLaughlin is a solid 7/ 10 keeper with better kicking but in tight games when you need a big save I would always rather have Shagger between the sticks.



30 Nov 2020 20:08:19
I would take either both are great.



30 Nov 2020 20:11:55
Goalkeeper gets clean sheet then his job is done imo.



30 Nov 2020 20:30:12
McGregor is the best keeper in Scotland, not difficult To know that surely,

Do, McLaughlin has vast experience, more nonsense from you.



30 Nov 2020 21:27:55
Mclaugin makes a great number 2. Clearly greegs is no1.



30 Nov 2020 22:36:23
Sweep, you've suggested booting the ball out of the park SHOULD be the game plan. The game plan is try to keep control of the ball at all times. It won't always work but it's worked reasonably well so far this season. 🤷🏼‍♂️.



30 Nov 2020 22:42:30
McGregor remains a very good keeper but is now vulnerable and much slower to get down to low shots. Also the tactics we play now requires the keeper to be more than competent with ball at feet.



01 Dec 2020 15:05:17
Great position to be in, i think they are both the best keepers in Scotland by a country mile, and they are ours, things are looking good for the Bears.



30 Nov 2020 14:39:00
Hi Ed.

Are we prohibited from posting links to other sites like You tube etc.

Not a problem if we are as it would explain why mine have not been posted.

Cheers Ed.

30 Nov 2020 16:42:24
Thanks Ed001,

Great help mate.



30 Nov 2020 13:49:08
After watching the Meltdown at LEGOLAND, its became very obvious to me that after what our great and famous club have went through the last 8 years its obvious to see that we certainly are the best Fans in the world -#55.



30 Nov 2020 20:33:31
Some clubs all around the world might not think that is quite obvious mate, but I agree,

New image uploaded to the
Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, Lennon had enough



30 Nov 2020 15:42:22
Watches a re_run of the Tim's game. County defended really deep. They will do the same this Sunday. Maybe need a wee spark of quality to break em down.



30 Nov 2020 18:12:54
is that not what the team has this year.

30 Nov 2020 10:42:41
Anyone remember the bloke who posted a video song of McCoists " WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY ".

If anyone still has it, please forward it to Lennon as we need him to stay with celts till end of this season .



30 Nov 2020 12:56:39
I also think buzz butt has already walked away.
Not seen him in a few days 🤣🤣🤣.



30 Nov 2020 14:32:47
found it guys its still on you tube, brilliant,



30 Nov 2020 10:29:31
Guys, is there a more effective fullback pairing in the UK right now for their team than Tav and Barisic?
Now, I'm not saying they are the best in the UK in their position individually, that's not where I'm going with this. If you look at their goals, assists, mins on park, area covered and all the other stats, you will be hard pressed to find another pairing who are so effective and valuable to their team?



30 Nov 2020 10:37:50
If anyone is interested, channel 553 is showing full celtic v County at 12noon and gers game at 2 30pm.



30 Nov 2020 11:13:02
Aye, Laxative and PingPong at the Tims for every side that plays against them! 🤣🤣🤣.



30 Nov 2020 11:21:01
We've go Tav and Borna,

They've got Ping Pong and Laxative.



30 Nov 2020 13:57:28
Barisic to Tav yesterday = GOAL!
Laxative to Ping-pong = ball out the park!
Just remember none of our players would get in their team🤭🤣🤭
Just remember they have the best squad🤭🤣🤭.



30 Nov 2020 13:59:17
Our two full backs without a doubt are two of the best full backs in britain 👌Both james tavernier and borna barisic have been immense this season, so they have 👌.



30 Nov 2020 10:08:01
Notice a few people saying they won't pay for premier sports. My advice would be look into iptv or simply log onto hesgoal. com as they show every rangers game.



30 Nov 2020 10:19:58
I think the point about not wishing to pay for Premier Sports is that some (including me) already pay for Sky Sports, Netflix and Amazon Prime and have no wish to pay for anymore services. I don't know who or what IPTV is but I'm sceltical about signing up to services which are perhaps not 'legal'. Anyway, I don't have to worry because if I miss the odd game on TV I can get great feedback by visiting Rangers Banter!



30 Nov 2020 11:12:29
Doiger, you keep throwing your money towards Sky. If everyone gave up on Sly sports some folk wouldn't be able to watch every channel going for £40 odd a year- alledgedly so some folk say.



30 Nov 2020 11:25:42
I agree doiger re iptv. U also see the goals on you tube.



30 Nov 2020 12:11:47
Cullin. Blame the wife. She watches all the other crap on Sky! I thought I'd tag on Sky Sports for poor little old me!



30 Nov 2020 12:11:50
If greedy sky halved their prices at least they would get double the subscribers .



30 Nov 2020 12:45:39
I have sky but I also have IPTV for all others like bt premier box office etc. it’s the way forward as it cost an arm and a leg I wouldn’t even have sky but the wife says otherwise lol.

As you can get all live tv channels on IPTV.



30 Nov 2020 17:38:01
KJ is it legal mate.



30 Nov 2020 18:07:47
i had iptv the guy who loaded mine up got his and many others closed down, the firesticks are useless, hesgoal is okay to stream but keeps lagging and freezing, sometimes you want to heave the laptop through the window, i was watching hesgoal yesterday and had sky sports news on at the same time and boydy told me defoe had scored before it came on hesgoal.



30 Nov 2020 09:49:14
Good, very professional performance against falkirk yesterday 👍 Again our two full backs were superb and the evergreen (pardon the pun) jermain defoe were the picks, although the full team played well 👌For any young upcoming striker should be studying how defoe goes about his business with his movement, the shape he's in, even at 38 years old now and his finishing ability 👌
Defoe's finish for our first goal yesterday was an exceptional finish from a true master of his trade 👌What technique and the only place he could have put the ball, the wee man put it! As far as i'm concerned defoe most definitely should get a new 1 year deal and i truly think he will and no wonder 👍
He's brilliant to have around the place and can also be called upon from the bench at anytime and starts in a good few of our cup games and league games against the lesser teams as such!



30 Nov 2020 11:14:10
I thought Bassey was excellent at CH, SGL👍.



30 Nov 2020 12:42:38
I reckon that Defoe will get a 'part-time' deal as a player but his main role will be coaching the youngsters. He's still got an amazing skill when it comes to finishing.



30 Nov 2020 14:01:29
DoTheBouncy, defoe is the best goalscorer/ finisher in scottish football, even at 38👍.



30 Nov 2020 09:13:10
What a difference in this Rangers team this year.
Racking up clean sheets and scoring goals from all over the park.
Squad players getting a chance and we're still doing the business on the park.
I thought Bassey was outstanding alongside Goldson at CH.



30 Nov 2020 08:34:42
Luv the tweet that the Three Musketeers are to sue Celtic and Prague for using their phrase,
All 4-1 and 1-4 All.



30 Nov 2020 07:18:58
looking at fixture list we have 9 games in December before playing them in Jan.
It, s a good job we have a big pool of players for every position.



30 Nov 2020 09:41:36
Yeah, its a tough wee run, lots of away games coming up. I do think we can cope but getting the Europa league qualification done on Thursday could be a big help.



30 Nov 2020 10:02:58
Cambiger winning on thursday and against lech pozan is a must. scotland are only .400 points above ukraine in co efficiant rankings in sitting in 11th place. depending in results ukraine may retake 11th position.11th position is critical as if the winners of champions league qaulify for champions league through there domestic league position then country in 11th position in co efficiant get an automatic entry into the champions league in 22/ 23 season.



30 Nov 2020 16:28:14
I hear you Davie and I would normally be beating that drum to but for me all that really matters in Decemeber is to secure qualification on Thursday and then focus in on the league games. We have a very tough run of games coming up and I would hate to think we drop some league points as we are tired from chasing coefficient points that may or may not benefit us in years to come.



30 Nov 2020 07:02:53
Watching yesterday game the lad Dickson looks like a star for the future good eye for goal glad to see Middleton back in the frame again.



30 Nov 2020 11:33:20
Blue robb agree re Dickson. Many like 6 counties come on here and moan about academy players not getting a game.
However the harsh reality was they simply were not the standard required, ie Houston, ridden, Dallas et al.
But now we see players like Robbie mccrorie, Kelly playing on loan in Pl. we see Patterson on periphery of first team.
Mayo, maxwell Wright doing very well on loan.
Dickson, Middleton, king, only 16 getting a taste yesterday.
The manager saying how they r not ready but now need to work even harder.
The academy is improving but we need to be patient.
