Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


04 Nov 2018 21:13:55
fair to say that the jam tarts bottle has went and its now a 2 horse race.



05 Nov 2018 02:19:26
Mate there are 8 points between 1st and 8th šŸ˜‚ itā€™s no a two horsed race at all.



05 Nov 2018 03:03:02
BearMode, leave it outšŸ˜­šŸ˜€āœŒļøšŸ‡¬šŸ‡§.



05 Nov 2018 11:14:11
To be fair they have lost five of their best players. Would have been interesting to see how far they could have pushed us and celtic this season.



05 Nov 2018 13:16:51
mate--its only november.



05 Nov 2018 14:59:22
Bottle no went lads injuries and better team won should be ok for second though if we don't win league.



05 Nov 2018 18:13:11
I know, but there bottle has crashed in the last four games.



05 Nov 2018 21:07:35
Trust me kennyour, you have no chance of the league, or 2nd for that matter. Yous had a good start but the fixtures were kind to you, think it will be 4th or 5th for you mate being honest.



06 Nov 2018 21:06:18
Your having a laugh jambo, I'll check bookies odds on you getting 6th at a push, could be worth a Ā£10 bet on that.



07 Nov 2018 06:53:35
Put a bet on season at start to win 40 to 1 so stuck a tenner on it and if am being honest 3rd would suit me think it will be the tic then you guys but only by 10_ points unless Brendan cannot get another striker use have dine well since Stevie g came in.



04 Nov 2018 20:45:06
Anyone else like the look of big Kamberi of Hibs? Thought he was outstanding in the final game of last season against us and showed glimpses against Hearts last midweek as well as scoring a cracker against them at Parkhead last month.

I'd be looking at him in January as an option btw. Big, strong, mobile and knows the league and more importantly has a track record of scoring in it. I believe he's on loan and I'm sure we'd be able to outbid Hibs to get this guy on a permanent deal.



04 Nov 2018 23:02:47
Hibs bought him in the summer for like Ā£100k.



05 Nov 2018 00:18:07
I thought Hibs signed him permanently in the summer for a knock down fee?



05 Nov 2018 02:21:30
Whatā€™s the point in trying to do business with Hibs, has he not just signed for them in the summer? Be paying way over the odds.

Iā€™d like to see a player that can create and score goals coming in, a proper number 10.



05 Nov 2018 14:56:13
Brought this up a few weeks ago, think he would have been a very good signing in the summer since he can lead line and play as 10.
Wonder what sort of fee would be required to get him now.



05 Nov 2018 21:19:23
Had no idea Hibs signed the boy permanently, thought he was back on loan. Scrap that suggestion then, wouldn't give them lot a penny.



04 Nov 2018 18:41:32
Didn't make game yesterday due business commitment but just seen highlights. Rangers nice and direct though final ball %%%% and it told. On another topic candyman who seemed to have game, his sending off atrocious, but it angers me Collum not answerable for his performamce and no appeal process for Candyman.



04 Nov 2018 21:22:07
Time fans took action against the SFA and SPL for their unfair and illegal in law procedures.
The right of appeal is a legal fundamental and cannot be denied at the whim of the self appointed elites of the SFA and SPL.
We lose our rights to be represented by, and entertained by, our players!
I met the appalling Blatter once and he told me in no uncertain terms that "football is above the law, above parliaments and above the courts"
The same attitude exists in the hierarchy which runs Scottish football!



05 Nov 2018 06:33:20
Scottsdad1, its not above the law to book a player so the sfa are not breaking the law by not allowing an appeal they just continue to make themselves look like bumbling idiots.



05 Nov 2018 10:41:44
Hey dad, don't let facts get in the way of your opinion. It is the clubs who run football. It is they who decide what the rules regarding discipline should be. It is also the reason why strict liability will never be adopted to deal with coin throwing and pitch invasions.



04 Nov 2018 15:51:46
Morelos has become a tremendous player. No service, caused problems every time he had the ball and scored a goal.
On the other hand, what happened to the ejaria who played against Ufa away? He's got very little to add to the team.
Good result in the end, hopefully get some momentum going now.



04 Nov 2018 18:00:26
Ejaria is only going through a dip in form. It happens to every player you know Ted Rangers! Totally agree with you regarding everything you say about morelos! He's paramount to the way gerrard wants rangers to play! If any club does come in, to try and sign morelos, I'd quote them between Ā£12million-Ā£15million, nothing less! I'm sure gerrard will demand that anyway for him and so he should! If clubs are desparate to sign morelos, hold them to ransom, just like other clubs do with us! If they want him badly enough in england, then they'll pay the asking price for him!



04 Nov 2018 18:45:24
If Morelos has 2 bad games or gets sent off, despite the blatant intimidation and goading of our opposition, you will see knuckle dragging fickle so called fans on here calling for his head. Exactly the same with Tav despite the FACT his statistics have shown him to be our best or close attacking threat, yes recently this has been boosted by his penalty taking, they want him gone sad some people do not understand simple truths. Does anyone on here really believe Tav would still be in the team or even close to it If he was not being asked to play that role. Everybody is entitled to their opinion but please think before you post. I do believe, as a few on here have said, Katic should be playing imo he's miles ahead of Worral, though his last game was very poor. We seem to be playing with a much slower tempo the last few games can not put my finger on why.
I Love SG and the way he conducts himself, Really and honestly think he can become a great for us. He's new to management and has and will make mistakes due to that but you just know he will learn.
I truly believe we are very close to being contenders, still expect Celtic to win the title but we are in with a shout if we can get 2 quality players in JAN>.



04 Nov 2018 19:49:17
Yeh, i agree regarding Morelos, wouldn't be surprised if offers came in January.



04 Nov 2018 20:04:26
Tav I'm not saying shouldn't be in the team, just his qualities as a captain aren't there . Morelos is only going to improve he had a good record in Finland and is doing well here . he will one day move on but will be a far better player and hopefully will look back at his time with us with fondness.



05 Nov 2018 06:36:41
blue, I quite like Worral, does that make YOU a knuckle dragging so called fan because your opinion differs from mine?



05 Nov 2018 07:24:21
Bluepete

Was it you that just said think before you post? Do you think itā€™s right for you to call fellow supporters knuckle draggers? Take you own advice and think before you post. Fans have different opinions and itā€™s pretty poor for you to call people knuckle draggers because they have a different opinion than you. Would even expect the numerous Celtic fans that post on here to call us that let alone one of our own.



05 Nov 2018 09:36:04
Bluepete agree with Arthur take your own advice before you post.



06 Nov 2018 20:40:07
Yea bluepete I agree for weeks me and a few others were on here defending Alfredo everyday with the knuckle draggers (as you say) on here wanting rid . even wanting Cummings before him . just goes to show you . speaks volumes for the mentality of some.



06 Nov 2018 20:41:13
Ps I donā€™t see frustrated blue or the isle of bull on here now thanking me king for letting the current manager at the time keep Alfredo. instead of trying to balance the books with a sale. Maybe mr king knew no matter what he did the treacherous few would still be out to Lynch him anyway. so I will say it for them. Thank you Mr King for showing great faith in Alfredo. who will get even better I believe .



04 Nov 2018 15:59:29
ok--not looking too bad now---3rd in the league, close behind tic and jam tarts---Europa top atm-scottish cup to come. glass is half full bears.



06 Nov 2018 20:31:00
4 behind hearts with a game in hand. Downside is Celtic also have a game in hand and will go top with a win.



04 Nov 2018 15:55:16
Does anyone else on here like the look of young Lewis Ferguson at Aberdeen heā€™s scored some big goals for the sheep Recently for a 19 year old i think he has potential and heā€™s Derek Fergusonā€™s son so bound to be a blue nose.



04 Nov 2018 16:51:56
We released him looking like a terrible decision.



04 Nov 2018 20:05:50
just one of a long list of promising young players weā€™ve released / punted on.



05 Nov 2018 01:35:26
He was released at 14. Kids develop at different ages. The youth coaches have to go with who looks best at the time. Essentially its a bit of a lottery, someone could be great at 14 but not develop any further. And vice versa.



05 Nov 2018 07:26:45
Every single team releases youngsters so itā€™s just one of those things.



05 Nov 2018 19:46:14
Anyone enlighten us to the long list of promising youngsters we've released and what they've went on to achieve. Just interested. Cheers guys.



06 Nov 2018 20:28:50
Do you live on Mars, He was released after a number of years in the Rangers youth system, was told not quite good enough. His Uncle is Barry - Of course he's a flipping bluenose.



06 Nov 2018 20:29:29
Shame we released him. I hope he goes on to have a good career, away from Aberdeen hopefully. We won't be getting him back any time soon from the sheep, he's on a long contract and they won't do business with us.



06 Nov 2018 20:33:16
FB he was released at 15. When they reach 16 pro contract we have a decision to make. Unfortunately some players develop wee bit later than 15. We canā€™t give everyone a deal.



06 Nov 2018 20:35:32
Trev no7 name all the future superstars who came back to haunt us.



06 Nov 2018 20:37:20
released in 2012 right in the start of the tour.



06 Nov 2018 20:47:33
Arthur D correct.



04 Nov 2018 14:39:06
I think the team is improving, maybe not at the speed some people want to see, but we are improving. 2 defeats in 24 games not to bad, 2 games with injury time equalisers (Aberdeen and Motherwell) . The games against Hamilton and St Mirren lately I reckon would have been lost by the Caxinha and Murty teams. We are still a few players short, but I think seeing an improvement this season and a run in Europe is an improvement. But looking ahead to the next transfer window and looking ahead, possible players to look at could be:

Steven Davies
Pablo Hernandez
Bradley Dack
AdlĆØne Guedioura
Barry Douglas
Pontus Jansson
Gil Dias
Eddie Nketiah
Daishawn Redan.



04 Nov 2018 15:48:25
Worrell come out said he doesnā€™t plan being here next year I think defence looks more solid with Katic in defence why are we not giving Katic more games . worrell will be away next season I would play him but not every game.



04 Nov 2018 16:06:51
Shaft1690,. With a near 15mill loss just posted, where do we get the money for January signings?



04 Nov 2018 16:19:02
BAR72-I donā€™t think for a second that we could sign half the players I mentioned. I just think that a few of them could add something to the squad. Also at least 3-4 of them would possibly be loans. There could also be possibility of getting some money for possibly Tav and Wallace. Also some of the loss was due to work carried out on the stadium. I donā€™t want too see the club getting into financial trouble like before, so may need to be more players on loan or at end of contracts.



04 Nov 2018 16:33:21
I can see Tav going in Jan and wouldnā€™t surprise me if Fod goes also. Both would bring in much needed cash. We have cover for both and Davis loan deal looking likely. Iā€™m not expecting us to spend anything in Jan.



04 Nov 2018 16:54:47
Bradley dack is getting talked about as a target for premiership clubs for 10m so I'd take him off your list.



04 Nov 2018 17:15:41
Didnā€™t know Dack was worth Ā£10 million. Maybe not then. One thing I have been a bit surprised at by Gerrard is that he doesnā€™t seem to giving any youngster at Rangers a chance to be in the squad. I am surprised as when he wasnā€™t in early years at Liverpool the squad regularly had some of the youngsters in their squads. The development squad seem to be getting some good results. Just to give the players the experience of being in the squad must surely be good for their confidence.



04 Nov 2018 18:04:29
Every player we release is not a terrible decision, frustrated blue!
Just because they're playing well enough for another club! Much more difficult to play for the famous, my friend! Who is lewis ferguson better than, currently in the rangers first team mate? Wouldn't get a game for us, as far as i'm concerned!



04 Nov 2018 19:21:03
McCoist didn't give any youngsters a chance either and that was in the lower leagues. i'd like to see McRorie getting game time as he looked promising.



05 Nov 2018 00:16:54
Nothe saying he would walk into our team coops but he would be knocking on the door. He's also young and would have improved.



05 Nov 2018 06:19:12
Not for me frustrated blue. I don't think lewis ferguson would be knocking on the door for a place in our starting 11!



06 Nov 2018 11:37:27
Disagree. Got the potential you go a long way in the game.



06 Nov 2018 20:23:50
Got to laugh honestly! 14 million losses and your still listing players who u want to get in January! And you lot sit and wonder how the oldco went belly up! Incredible honestly lol!



06 Nov 2018 20:26:45
I assume you mean to bring the young players mentioned in on loan. My opinion is that we have enough loan players here gaining experience just now.
As for the others, possibly with the exception of the Blackburn player, I don't see why they would want to come to rangers. Would any player leave high flying clubs like Leeds to come up here? And how much would they cost? Weird selection of names.



06 Nov 2018 20:31:00
Shaft1690, I'm sure Worrall, Katic, Kent, Ejaria, Middleton, Morelos, McCrorie (more than half a team) are all under 23. How many more youngsters do you think the team can sustain right now? I'm certain the manager knows who is ready and who isn't, it's not as simplistic as just bunging them in.



06 Nov 2018 20:33:06
Mccrorie doing fine. We just need to develop them further.



06 Nov 2018 20:42:58
No donā€™t tell me frustrated blue saying rangers and the board have made terrible decisions . my goodness thatā€™s no like him., . He is usually so supportive of our club manager and board. šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜‚.



04 Nov 2018 13:11:27
Have to say I enjoyed the players celebrating with the fans after the 1st goal especially big Goldson giving out big bear hugs nice to see it means a lot to the players.



04 Nov 2018 16:18:39
Love to see that lads celebrating as well but any excuse for a yellow card and the Refs cannot get them out quick enough.

Suspensions of the needless type will and have cost us dearly.



04 Nov 2018 20:44:02
Letā€™s not turn into Celtic. We beat st Mirren who havenā€™t won in 10 games. Celebrations were over the top. Fans running onto park . Really? Get a grip.

And what about Steven Thompson comments tonight? Morelos gets hit with a coin and he gets asks to comment.

His response? The st Mirren keeper got hit by 3. What a complete .



04 Nov 2018 10:13:44
Hello bears
After watching tav the last few games he's been having a mare in my opinion delivery has been poor shooting etc would like to see Flanagan at right back to see what he's like because he gets caught out at left back all the time. Hope barisic is back soon.



04 Nov 2018 10:34:54
Biggest disappointment for me regarding tav is he doesn't lead players when the going gets tough. Saw yesterday him hanging his head and shrugging his shoulders. Really need a captain who's going to scream and shout and demand better.



04 Nov 2018 11:11:27
I genuinely think sell him to West Brom in January. Can probably get Ā£6m plus for him that can be reinvested in the squad. Candeias can play right back no problem, he's no worse defensively that Tav and can put in a shift up and down the flank.



04 Nov 2018 11:42:36
I just donā€™t rate Flanagan. Am sure many will disagree. But I think he looks lost past the halfway line.



04 Nov 2018 12:01:37
Not overly impressed by Flannigan.

He looks slow and agree finty he is clueless going forward.

If we sell tav we would need a new right back and get Katic back in the team as well.



04 Nov 2018 12:11:26
Screaming and Shouting does NOT make you a leader.



04 Nov 2018 12:26:20
I agree with all comments above I donā€™t rate worrel either would rather katic playing with goldson.



04 Nov 2018 12:58:25
It's more than just the screaming and shouting . That at least shows that your passionate . Tav doesn't suit and your right shrugs his shoulders hangs his head . Not good enough in terms of attitude, he has to motivate those around him and encourage those who is confidence is low and guide the players on the park . He doesn't do any of that for me. Take the money and run in Jan.



04 Nov 2018 13:07:03
I think Goldson looks a better player with Katic beside him.



04 Nov 2018 13:31:35
As far as I can see, big connor goldson is a quality player playing beside both katic and worrall. The big man in my eyes is different class.



04 Nov 2018 13:47:11
Tav Goldson Katic and Barisic would be my first choice back four.
Lots of comments about Tav and admittedly he has momentarily had a loss of form.
If he was to leave in the transfer window which hopefully he doesn't but every player has a price.
Who would SG sign to replace him?



04 Nov 2018 13:48:55
Ive said before and will repeat this. Tav is a goid player and scored some important goals with equal assists, however for me he is not ready to be a Rangers captain. He has lost his way a bit, maybe because he's captain he automatically thinks he'll play every game. I would drop him, play Katic at left back and try Flanagan at his natural right back. Rangers might need to sell him, going by reports we're 14 million in the red!



04 Nov 2018 14:37:07
Definitely not a captain for me his last 3 have been poor only getting away with it because heā€™s taking penalties.



04 Nov 2018 14:00:37
Agree that tav shouldnā€™t be captain, good player but not a leader and a captain has to demand standards of players during a game and he doesnā€™t do that for me, also agree with Katic ahead of worrall, who would you guys suggest as captain, for me mcgregor.



04 Nov 2018 14:05:27
I would play flanagan at right back, said this at the start of the season. The ball doesn't stick up top. We need to have a rb and lb that defend first and keep it tight, not expose us. Flanagan rb and barasic lb. We need a creative midfielder and another st. Go 442. Before anyone says we haven't won when we go with two up top, that's because the balance of players have been wrongšŸ‘. Mcgregor, flanagan, goldson, katic, barasic, tav, jack, creative mid, kent, lafferty, morelos. When we play one up top, teams sit tight, we then play wide and fire aimless crosses in to no onešŸ™ƒšŸ‘.



04 Nov 2018 15:00:51
Flanagan is a right back not a left back.



04 Nov 2018 15:30:45
Coldo, i agree with some of your points mate, but if you're saying that you want our right back and left back to defend first and foremost, then yes flanagan but barisic is the exact same as tav, on the left! He leaves gaps like tav, as he likes to go forward just like tav does, on the right! So if you're having a go at tav, surely to god, you have to say the exact same regarding barisic? I like modern day wingbacks that do go forward and as long as you can accommodate that, its fine by me. I like both tav and barisic and think both should be our right and left wingbacks!



04 Nov 2018 15:56:38
On the Flannigan debate heā€™s carrying an injury has been since arrived thatā€™s from someone at club.



{Ed0333's Note - maybe

04 Nov 2018 17:10:11
Coops we don't play with wingbacks so I'm not sure why you always go on about them. We play with FULLBACKS who's first job is to defend, yes by all means get forward and get involved but you have to defend first and fore most playing fullbsck, tav is a weapon for us (except last couple) but teams are definately targeting him defensively.



04 Nov 2018 17:14:35
Did you read my post coop? Where am I having a go at tav? I have pushed tav up to rm and flanagan to rb its called playing to our strengthsšŸ‘. Barasic is much better at defending than tavšŸ‘.



04 Nov 2018 17:18:01
If he is injured he shouldn't be playing, never mind playing him out of position as well. Katic at LB really 6ft 5 and you want to play him at LB, surely you would want him in the middle instead of worral. We should be using worral as cover for katic not the other way around. Katic is our player and at his age the more you play him the better he can become, we will not benefit from developing worral but we will benefit from katic and as far as I can see worral is not better than katic and I feel Goldson looks better next to katic. For me the problem this season has been the centre of the park, nobody has that killer pass in them, there is also nobody there to drive the ball forward from our box to the opposition box.



04 Nov 2018 18:08:21
Frustrated blue, i can assure you that both tav and barisic play like wingbacks, so i don't understand what you don't get about that pal!



04 Nov 2018 20:27:36
Aye they play like it, but there not, like I said we don't play with wingbacks. They are full backs in our system we play so there first job is to stop crosses and defend. Maybe if you stopped going on about how good a wingback he is you could notice we play 4 at the back = fullback,



05 Nov 2018 06:23:18
You don't need to teach me pal! I most certainly know we play 4 at the back, with our both full backs given licence, to get up and down the wings, which in my book makes them modern day wingbacks, because like you said, both tav and barisic play like wingbacks, debate over!



06 Nov 2018 20:24:50
6 m for tav is very optimistic. maybe 3.5.



06 Nov 2018 20:25:06
Tavernier is a far better player than Flanagan. Be careful what you wish for here, you don't know what you've got till it's gone. We are trying to improve in every transfer window and here we have fans who want to sell the best right back in Scotland.

To get a player better than him to come up here would cost a lot of money that needs spent on other areas of the team. I'm only glad it's Gerrard making these decisions and not a committee of fans, as we'd be bringing back McKay, Macleod, Windass, Waghorn and all the other duds we've suffered in the past. Foster for right back anyone?



06 Nov 2018 20:27:52
Love seeing posts about going 4-4-2 as of it's a more attacking formation than 4-3-3. Problem isn't the formation, it's the lack of quality at our disposal in the attacking positions. We dominate these games, that's what the structure brings.

People criticise Tav, but he's usually the only guy who's trying to penetrate. I hope Flanagan was injured v Killie, otherwise he just has no mobility. Tav is one of our best players, that's why he's played every game. He does need to give up on the corners though.



06 Nov 2018 20:32:34
Goalie, it was a Ā£14m loss, even more in the red than that.



06 Nov 2018 21:07:04
Wingbacks fullbacks they are defenders first and foremost, Tav seems to think he is a midfielder and defends poorly in my opinion.



04 Nov 2018 08:34:01
Morning bears can anyone shed some light on this? I have noticed recently that on youtube that rangers highlights are becoming increasingly scarce even yestedays game I found a 35 second clip other teams are showing 6/ 10 minutes? I can't always get to watch the game so enjoyed the highlights I know thwres copyright and stuff like that but why is it affecting rangers more so? Maybe i'm wrong or looking in the wrong place?



04 Nov 2018 09:11:54
There is an spfl channel which puts highlights on YouTube but they unfortunately usually are uploaded once sportscene have shown highlights, but yes also have noticed highlights getting scarce no idea why.



04 Nov 2018 12:55:30
If you subscribe to rangers tv you will get the full game after midnight the day of league game not sure about euro games.



04 Nov 2018 14:02:30
Believe they are the same with euro games on rangerstv.



04 Nov 2018 08:07:36
Is this not the worst crop of referees you have ever seen in your life rangers must surely be asking questions now over these decisions that are going for us this season and last Ryan jacks red cards Morelos at Pittodrie etc it's becoming a weekly occurrence now and it's so obvious what they are trying to achieve out of this which is suspensions that one yesterday with Candias was absolutely terrible Collum was standing 2 yards from the assault on him and yes that's clearly what it was assault the refs are waiting on Morelos to open his mouth and they are right on him they are a joke and should be taken to task by our club it's plain to see what the agenda is here is it not and they don't even try to hide it any more because they have nobody to answer to so it comes from the top! šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§.



04 Nov 2018 08:39:12
I was going to post collum should never ref another Rangers game but correct myself to collum should never ref another game.



04 Nov 2018 09:13:35
Exactly should neve ref again mate heā€™s a joke no group of fans can stand the Willie Collum show every time he refs.



04 Nov 2018 11:24:26
Take a breath tinman šŸ˜‚.



04 Nov 2018 17:13:22
I think colum is just a terrible ref I've never met a fan that likes him my boss is a killie st holder and despises him, don't think there's any more in it than the guy likes to be the centre of attention.

Well, all will agree today was ignominious to say least. Not going to blame manager but more players overall performance. Worries me our sole reliance on El Buffalo and lack of spark between midfield to forward. Maybe old fashioned but still prefer 4-4-2.

Itā€™s a good post Miller+Wilson. I do believe in Stevie G but watching the Gers right now really is hard. In the last few games we hold possession and thatā€™s it and hardly create any good chances! There is a spark missing in the midfield with a good playmaker and also a driving midfielder. I am sure Stevie is on the case šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§.

I think agsinst the likes of St mirren livi etc we should go 4-4-2, fair enough 3 in the middle against celtic hibs etc but get 2 up against the rest and go old school, getting it into big lafferty n the buff.

ā€˜getting it into big laff in the buffā€™

wot an image to wake up to šŸ˜‚

sorry cldnt resist frustrated - yes I agree iā€™d like to see us go 2 up top in some games give other teams more to deal with also wld allow us to go more direct at times.
