Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


04 Jul 2017 23:47:21
I have never been so angry when being a Rangers fan. Worst result in Europe ever, Ally MCcoist's team would have beaten this team. One striker against the 4th best team in Luxembourg, utter rubbish. Slagging Celtic seems to have backfired and I knew it would. Celtic got through against the Red Imps. OH it does not count when Rangers are in the league, then they dominate us. You can't win the treble, we get back up and they win the treble. Caxhina is clearly not a good manager and has not done anything to earn this job. His 10 million signings can't earn us half a million in Europe. Acting like we were through and this. I don't see the point anymore.



05 Jul 2017 00:56:17
I reckon that you are being optimistic with the McCoist comments! He is one of the reasons we are in this mess!



05 Jul 2017 01:57:33
Absolutely gutted!
This team has to get miles better after playing together. i'm glad to see Dorrans coming in BUT will he be enough or do we need to really push the boat out and bring in a really top quality creative Mid. a



05 Jul 2017 03:20:54
I think that the Club should organise a friendly at Ibrox! We now have nothing on the cards until start of season.
Also if we did organise a game then the Club should let the Supporters who went to Luxembourg attend for nothing!
Caixinha and the Board must try and get a half decent Team to Ibrox for a friendly and give a performance. I know what will be said and it'll just be another chance to see a shocking display but no matter what we have too much time to do nothing until start of season when the other SPFL teams are going through their pre-season.



05 Jul 2017 06:13:19
TOM USA, the worst result in our history and you want to blame the manager from 2 1/ 2 seasons ago get a grip. The blame lies squarely with those half wits last night.



04 Jul 2017 23:26:16
PC needs to be given to end of season evenbafter his players humiliated him and the club tonight In terms of the players who embarassed themselves here is my opinion
Fotheringham - simply not good enough does not give defence any confidence
Wallace - never a Rangers captain. Poor for long time now. Should be Alves
Bates - squad player at best
Cardoso - still hope with alves beside him
Tavenier - simply awful defensively. Simply not good enough. New right back needed urgently
Jack - hopefully with pena and dorrans he will improve
Rossiter - running out of time at rangers shown very little. Needs to improve big time
Krancjar - impact player only for last half hour or first hour. Still has class but lacks legs for scottish game
Miller - similar to Krancjar impact player only
Candeias and Dalcio - first impressions they are not good enough look out their depth hope they can adapt quickly to Scottish game but very doubtful
Morelos - also looks out his depth rabbit in headlights at a big club. Needs to improve big time.
Lets hope alves dorrans pena



05 Jul 2017 13:03:10
One major problem defensively is our two full backs. Neither can defend, Wallace is not and never will be captain material. Out of his depth even in the SPL. Bates will improve with time but we need Alves in as soon as possible. Rossiter has been out for a season he will take time. Goalie doesn't't command his box but generally a good shot stopper. Problem still seems to be scoring goals although conceding two against a bunch of amateurs is a joke!



06 Jul 2017 13:08:03
Got to disagree with rossiter and candeias i think they look like players obviously rossiter is a well respected player when not injured, i also think herrera will be our main threat, we will come back from this, it's a shambles we all know that it should of been buried at ibrox but it wasn't so we crack on dorrans will also improve the team



06 Jul 2017 13:09:32
You're actually saying Jack might improve? He's been one of the best players in these last two games. The amount of times he covered well for Tav was amazing. Once again someone slating Bates, he's done nothing wrong. Same goes for Cardoso. Rossiter has also done well considering he's been out for so long. You've seen Morelos for 45 minutes and somehow you know he's no good even though he had no help up front. Away and support Hamilton or somebody else if you're going to slever that drivel



06 Jul 2017 13:11:05
On this performance pc needs to go before we get relegated by the end of the season. Wallace needs to hand that armband back tonight



06 Jul 2017 13:12:42
Why should he be given to the end of the season? Do you want even more humiliation? He is a clown who needs to go. That result isn't only the worst in our history it's the worst in Scottish footballs history and he needs to pay for it with his job. A part time team who are 4th in Luxembourg and they beat us



06 Jul 2017 13:21:28
I agree about Wallace, total joke, I disagree about Rossiter, he has been out for a season and he will take time to get fully fit yet tonight he showed more leadership than Wallace has since he was given the Captaincy. As for the new signings you can't judge players on one game and young Bates has the potential to improve. For me we need two full backs, Wallace is a waste of a jersey and neither he or Tavernier can defend.



04 Jul 2017 23:17:50
I've read a few folk slating Morelos already. Deary me give the guy a chance! He was surrounded by about 7 of their players anytime the ball came near him and he had zero support. I really hope that Pedro gets the finger out and changes to 442. I will say though that I have never been so angry at a player in all my days as I was at Windass tonight. At fault for both goals and when Kenny Miller beat about half their team and set him up for a shot in the last minute he took a touch and went side ways with it. Criminal.



04 Jul 2017 23:50:20
I completely agree about windass. A bit of magic from Miller to set him up and he takes a few seconds and slides it back to where Miller started. Never been so angry



04 Jul 2017 23:11:42
It would be wrong to consider sacking PC even after tonights humiliation. He needs to be given at least to the end of the season to turn it round. The early signs are ominous though but i hope he proves a lot of people wrong through time. In terms of the players who shamed the jersey yet again where do you start.

Fotheringham - simply not good enough does not give confidence to defence
Wallace - never a Rangers captain been poor for a long time. I said last week Alves should be captain
Bates - a squad player at best
Cardoso - still hope for him with Alves beside him



04 Jul 2017 22:42:09
Really! videos emerging of rangers fans surrounding the team bus in Luxembourg giving abuse! shows complete lack of class! disgrace!



04 Jul 2017 23:03:32
and videos of your travelling support singing songs about the lisbon lions dying glad its not representative of all rangers supporters



04 Jul 2017 23:14:40
Jones

The only people that were a disgrace tonight are the players and manager.



04 Jul 2017 23:16:54
Surround the bus i would of made them walk bak to glasgow after that pitiful performace



04 Jul 2017 23:48:05
Imagine what the Lisbon lions would do to this team!



06 Jul 2017 13:14:53
Jones

The British lions would beat that mob currently masquerading in Rangers jerseys. Imposter of a manager and imposters as players



04 Jul 2017 22:17:33
He is an idiot who doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Talks nonsense! And this guy Dalcio makes Dodoo look like Ronaldo. The worst player in a Rangers jersey I've ever seen. Depressed! Alex McLeish was the obvious choice and should have been installed when Warburton left. Absolutely shattered! Sack this man now, King. Please!



04 Jul 2017 22:38:33
@seeker - settle down! Big Eck was never the answer. Have we become that much of a basket case of a club that fans are wanting to chase the manager out the door after 2 games? How many games do you then give the next manager? 5, 10?



04 Jul 2017 23:05:12
I think he should offer to resign. The board might refuse and would be perfectly entitled to do so. I am heartened by the signing of Dorians and if ros sister stays fit and jack plays we could do alright but he should offer to resign



04 Jul 2017 23:22:18
Seeker

Seen a few interviews with Portuguese press regarding Dalcio and they all said they were astonished Rangers went for him as he had done nothing and was nowhere near the Benfica team.



04 Jul 2017 23:34:49
UnionJack

2 games? Weren't you aware he took before the end of the season? Did you not know he lost 5-1 at home to Celtic and lost a 26 year old home unbeaten record to Aberdeen? Now he is the managed the club to the worst result in our European history. Beaten by a part time team currently 4th in the Luxembourg league. He is an embarrassment and needs to go



05 Jul 2017 04:23:55
He still has no full backs and the team is lacking leadership. Same problem as last season and the season before. Wallace is not captain material!



05 Jul 2017 13:01:28
When Pedro was brining in all of these signings the same posters who are calling for him to be sacked were posting as to what a great job he was doing. They had never heard of these players with the exception of Alvez but were talking about winning the league. Now its get Pedro out. Shows a complete misunderstanding of anything to do with football.



05 Jul 2017 13:04:01
Absolutely spot on Bengy. How many more 'records' does this clown need to break before he is sent packing?
Disgrace



04 Jul 2017 21:25:50
And if you still want rid of Barrie McKay, get yourself to the nearest hospital and get seen asap



04 Jul 2017 22:19:54
playing 2 defensive mids in both games vs team who finnished 4th in lux baffles me.

i'm not being clever after the result but surely playing 2 strikers is not that miraculous a piece of tactics. morelos looked totally lost he needs a strike partner - the number or lack of chances we made over 2 legs is worrying though

hope pedro learns quickly as accies, thistle and rest of SPL
will take massive heart from that game

hope big bruno both mexicans and dorrans can make a difference but we need to attack teams and frighten them not sit in and pass it sideways.



04 Jul 2017 22:14:56
Better to get rid of the so called manager



05 Jul 2017 04:24:44
Alves should be given the captaincy and we should find two new full backs.



04 Jul 2017 21:13:58
Was it really that much of a shock? After the shitey display at ibrox and the manner in which we fannied about in the first half I think we passed the ball back more than forward! do we not practice shooting in training? No excuses about parking the bus, made it hard etc this was fu@king awful, at least we don't need to go and get pumped next Tuesday now and we can hopefully batter on with pre season playing against some under 11 teams to get moral up.



04 Jul 2017 21:55:17
Yes was a major shock although we would have lost out to a skilful Cypriot side in the 2nd qualifying round if we had got through. Pedro needs to accept responsibility for his selection. This was no time for experimenting and clear to me that Holt and McKay should have started.

Would also have started with Waghorn as think very unfair to give the Colombian boy his debut on such an occasion and he failed to disappoint. Big test of Pedro's character, skill and knowledge of the game and leadership abilities now. First of all he needs to accept responsibility and establish some grip within the football department. I wish him well.



04 Jul 2017 22:01:56
Embarrassment but people calling for pedros head need to calm down, what would that achieve? how can you go from saying pedros making great signings etc to sack him in 2 games, get real.



04 Jul 2017 22:07:25
we need a Sir Walter type manager and we need him badly because pedro's a sham and a fake plus he always winds up opposition teams which always comes back to bite you on the arse



04 Jul 2017 22:08:58
So how much time did we lose trying to get Dorrans in. If we had just paid the money at the time and had in the team perhaps we would have already made back the £500k or so we had tried to save in transfer negotiations. Not saying one man makes a team, but.



04 Jul 2017 22:29:38
Let's back the man, was a poor result. But let's face it, we've a proven track record of being rubbish in Europe. It's a long season so let's get behind the boys.



04 Jul 2017 22:41:24
Tails1873

Fair enough you back the manager however others think he isn't the answer. Dress it up anyway you like bottom line he was the manager in our worst ever euro result. Not good enough



04 Jul 2017 22:56:41
Go out and treat it like a final he said
Would hate to see them in a final if that's what they put up



04 Jul 2017 23:08:20
Mushy10

This is the worst result in Europe in our history. This clown has been in charge of our worst home beating by Celtic and now this. He has to go



04 Jul 2017 23:59:03
We get rid of Pedro who comes in, Macleish, god help us all!, or McInnes, (who in four seasons when there was no competition he failed miserably to take the league.

We are still suffering from administration and losing our quality players. Pedro has tried to bring in players on a reasonable budget that he hopes will do a job but in reality he has still had to go with the cheap option at a time when Celtic can spend £5m on one player. It will take time for the team to knit and we are still carrying crap from the Warburton and McCoist era. I am still hopeful that he will turn things round, especially with Dorrans but he needs two full backs and he needs all his new players to be match fit and in the team!



06 Jul 2017 13:16:49
Mr bassy

We won't be getting to any finals under him



04 Jul 2017 21:10:56
just when u think it can't get any worse as
a rangers fans after the 5 years of hell we have had. this happens. i saw rangers legends play in sutton v chelsea legends the other week and half those guys wudve been better in the team than these guys tonight.

and to a team from luxemburg who have never won a european game. embarrassing and shameful. still looking on the bright side at least we won't have to endure the fannies throwing things in any more european matches this season. great to be back in europe. humped by a pub team, and reported to uefa for bad fan behaviour of a minority. But no guts. no glory



04 Jul 2017 20:58:06
If i was Dorrans and having watched that dross i'd stay whete i was.



04 Jul 2017 21:20:19
Will Dave king pull the plug on that deal with the lack of Euro money coming in



04 Jul 2017 21:50:08
King should be pulling the plug on that manager utter clown. Heaviest home defeat to Celtic, losing unbeaten home record to sheep and now worst result in history in Europe. Maybe he still works for Celtic?



04 Jul 2017 20:56:05
i don't think the league will be as bad, this is a new team and this game came straight away, but the players we had should have got us through these two legs there's absolutely no excuse, treat this game like a cup final? the worst I've heard!
i can only hope that this will be a massive kick up the rear these players need,



04 Jul 2017 21:09:42
I'm sure we said that last season! Shocking result.



04 Jul 2017 21:11:18
Seriously? That team would struggle to finish in the top 4 of the championship.



04 Jul 2017 21:24:23
It was like some of the games last season after ped came in was like the players didn't know the tactics



04 Jul 2017 21:29:35
Hope your right but concerned for season ahead must sort things out in next month, no urgency tonight didn't play like they wanted to win embarrassed to say the least,



04 Jul 2017 21:31:53
I'm not usually one for knee jerk reactions but this is a new low for us. It's not too hard to point fingers at poor performances but tonight our so-called captain reaffirmed just how poor he is, both as captain and a footballer. As for Windows, he should never be allowed near a jersey again. Not only did he die in to give away that free kick but refused to take any responsibility when in good positions. His dad was twice the player and he was rubbish as well.



04 Jul 2017 22:18:56
I can't really recall a worse result in my lifetime



04 Jul 2017 21:19:06
Caxhinha can't organise an orgy in a brothell.



04 Jul 2017 21:22:47
You have just put up 2 excuses and then said there shouldn't be any. Which is it?



05 Jul 2017 00:01:53
Alves has to be given the captain's armband and we need two quality full backs.



04 Jul 2017 20:05:44
Typical performance of strangers really. Disjointed and no flow. What more can you expect before a few games under their belts.



{Ed039's Note - to be able to beat a pub team)

04 Jul 2017 20:55:07
This doesn't bode well, gutted
Hope am wrong



04 Jul 2017 20:56:19
Well said Ed, absolute embarrassment for us tonight . No excuses



{Ed039's Note - no excuses, not good enough)

04 Jul 2017 20:57:53
Worst result in our history absolute disgrace not one player gets pass marks Wallace never a captain make no mistake this is an absolute disaster for the club



04 Jul 2017 21:00:18
No excuses Pedro can bolt



04 Jul 2017 21:00:52
Pedro needs to catch the connecting flight to Portugal he's hopeless.
I cannot believe the board sanctioned his appointment.
After spending all that money we are no better it's criminal



04 Jul 2017 21:03:08
I expect much more than we got tonight Wall84. We need a keeper, he is a dud. Said it for all of last season and that second goal is a goalkeeping error. There is a lack of urgency in our play. If Pedro thought he received pelters last season he ain't seen nothing yet



04 Jul 2017 21:07:09
How. could you be wrong? We are i'm for an absolutely awful season.



04 Jul 2017 21:07:55
Wall84

Are you for real? Lost to the 4th best team in Luxembourg! A team from the lower end of the ScottIsh championship would beat them. Utter disgrace



04 Jul 2017 21:09:33
Wall44 I agree but we are in the minority. I wasn't too bothered about Europe this year sure it's a bonus but these guys need to gel starting the season a couple of weeks after last season finished, buying nearly a new team and expecting results just now is crazy as long as we do better in the league this team will be OK and there won't be as much change for next season



04 Jul 2017 21:11:46
just when u think it can't get any worse as

04 Jul 2017 21:17:09
ED039 was going to come on and have a laugh, but read comments of bigblue ayr, and have to say well done to him for pulling up a fellow fan for his bad language. Fans like him are the genuine heart of your club. This result also damages both the Scottish coefficient and our reputation.



04 Jul 2017 21:54:41
Gary75,

What are you on? New team? Most of the team was players from last season. How can you not be bothered about Europe when we can get 48k for home games? Think you'll find King and the board were concerned about Europe. Astonishing that a Gers fan not bothered about an opportunity to make some money now gone.



04 Jul 2017 21:13:14
In Pedro we trust



04 Jul 2017 21:09:17
That was an absolute disgrace, dalcio, candias, Morales joke, I know we have a lot of new faces, that's no excuse, should be able to beat a team of part timers who have never won a game in Europe, we're a bloody laughing stock



04 Jul 2017 21:24:28
Doesn't bode well? A master of the understatement!



05 Jul 2017 00:23:29
I live in Fleetwood and goto some of their games in league one in England and I would have expected them to brush a side Progres with ease . Absolute shambles and things need to change IMMIDATLEY



06 Jul 2017 13:19:54
Cheers timalloy. There was absolutely no need for that kinda talk obviously u guys were winding him but let's face it we would have done the same. No place for saying something like that he should be seriously ashamed when he wakes up today



03 Jul 2017 17:16:36
before speculating about bringing in another keeper, I would like to see what ALnwick is capable of. He can't really prove anything sitting on the subs bench every week.

Likewise our young keepers too. We certainly don't need another to be brought in until we know our own guys better.



04 Jul 2017 18:05:24
Tonights team is

Fod
Tav Cordosa Bates Wallace
Jack Rossiter
Miller Kranjcar candelas
Morelas



04 Jul 2017 18:17:39
good to see morelos getting the nod ahead of waggy and rossiter also kack will be solid again c'mon the teddy bears.



04 Jul 2017 20:40:12
Tonight's team is
EMBARRASSING



04 Jul 2017 21:23:34
New signings are all not fit apart from dalcio and Jack who look not good enough. Tav and Wallace are ineffective all the time and Millers second touch is a tackle. Caixinha thought by keeping the Tav Wallace Miller core it would get him through this tie. Biggest mistake ever.

Dorrans signs 3 year deal 800k



04 Jul 2017 16:33:17
Anyone know if I can still move seats for my season ticket as I've got restricted view? And will it cost extra?



04 Jul 2017 16:36:10
Doubt it mate, me and my 2 mates applied for a move a couple months back and had it rejected a few weeks ago. If it's just you it may be different but think the club decks really the only place left now



04 Jul 2017 20:12:17
do something better sell it and keep your money. or be prepared to watch another year of dross



04 Jul 2017 15:49:43
Any good streams for the game?



04 Jul 2017 16:08:48
First row sports mate works every time on the Xbox perfectly :)



04 Jul 2017 17:42:20
Try Mobdro, brilliant quality and streams Sky, premier, BT Sport and loads of other channels .



04 Jul 2017 15:14:10
Sky reporting McKay having medical at Forrest, but dorrans deal agreed! Looks like one in and one out.



04 Jul 2017 14:24:42
I understand if a player doesn't want to stay there is not a lot you can do, but very disappointed at Barrie Mckay supposedly leaving and for £500k?
Isn't that what we sold Charlie Adam for? How much has he cost in subsequent transfers?
Yes, Barrie needed to grow up and and show a massive improvement in his appetite for all aspects of the game, but he has exceptional skills and could be a massive star in the future.
I think this is one we definitely could have handled better, however Warburton and Weir have clearly been working long - term on this one. McKay's mind has been turnedset for a while and i don't think Ped can be blamed at all.



04 Jul 2017 17:24:22
Hes not actually that good. No end product and terrible at shooting (apart from the old firm goal), deserved more than 500k though.



04 Jul 2017 12:37:24
McKay has agreed terms with Forrest he's away for £500,000. Thought we'd have managed to get a bit more that that bit at least he's off the wage bill.



04 Jul 2017 12:58:13
Must say I'm disappointed with the fee (if it's correct as one of the local papers in Nottingham is saying 750k) . Hope we've got a percentage of any sell on fee as I still think he has it in him to be a top class player. Anyway the laddie did not want to play for us any more so good luck and good riddance to him! Would still like to see us sign Walker as a replacement (and far more effective goal threat! ) but Hearts seem far less generous sellers than we seem to be.



04 Jul 2017 14:04:34
McKay is decent player with bursts of brilliance but still a wee boy, Pedro says he wants a team of men who know what it is to play for rangers but good luck to him he has given some quality performances in games



04 Jul 2017 14:42:18
All this stuff about players such as Mackay being a 'wee boy'. If you have the talent and the class it doesn't matter how old you are, e. g. George Best, Denis Law, Ally McCoist, Derek Johnstone, et al. It must be down to attitude and of course money because Forest must be offering Mackay a lot more than Rangers can.



04 Jul 2017 14:47:50
We don't know what package he was offered by us but Forest is hardly a step up and McKay is capable of the EPL. Disappointed and I'd have liked to have seen it handled better. Amazing first touch and great ball control, and there wasn't a lot of that in evidence in the team last season. Agreed he didn't like to put in a tackle but the talent was there for all to see. I don't say good riddance it's a damn pity.



04 Jul 2017 16:23:11
Ed not so much a reply but a message to Liverpool Ger i will be in liverpool all next week can he recommend a good bear friendly pub to watch the game next week. Can you pass the message on thanks!



{Ed001's Note - there are loads down there mate you will have no problems.}

04 Jul 2017 16:33:31
Think he is probably going down there as much for the money as he is for the gobbles off the snake and the knobber formerly known as SDOW.

Do you think McKay would have got anywhere near the first team if we hadn't been patched to the 3rd div? You can carry a passenger when you are miles ahead of every other team. not when there is actual competition. Has, and always will be a disappointment when the going gets tough imo.

If we are paying twice as much for Dorrans as what we are getting for McKay, when done well as Dorrans is more than twice the player!



04 Jul 2017 17:17:24
Aye £6 million lol, where did it go so wrong or was it all bs to start with



04 Jul 2017 17:19:05
How he's in his last year £750,000 is decent and probably about what he's worth. we can't moan about that then on the other hand moan at hearts for wanting the same for a player in the same situation that we're trying to sign



04 Jul 2017 07:00:48
If you have a corals betting acc on line and place a bet of £1 or more on game then you can watch game live as they have live streaming of the game Just before kick off click into the rangers betting of the game and there will be a button saying "watch live" then sit back with a few cans and watch us on your tablet with Wimbledon on the tv. Bisto.



04 Jul 2017 09:33:57
Nice one cheers ill be intae that



04 Jul 2017 17:15:14
Vipbox works just as good. Also it is free. Can be used on phone, Tablet and pc.



04 Jul 2017 04:51:25
is the game on tv tonight?



04 Jul 2017 05:56:56
Yes its on premier sports



04 Jul 2017 09:40:40
