Do the recent displays without Ardield highlight the need for an attacking midfielder?

06 Jan 2021 07:46:55
Defo bazza.

06 Jan 2021 08:49:29
We should be focusing on how we replace arfield and davis long term. Tying Kamara to a long term contract and keeping him at the club is also key. 👍.

06 Jan 2021 08:57:32
Scotty Arfield i've stated constantly is the best attacking midfielder we have at rangers, as he's the best at making the clever runs, to get beyond our front 3 👌
He would always be in my rangers starting 11 when fit 👍🇬🇧.

06 Jan 2021 09:11:12
Coop the way he supports the lone ST through the middle and those runs he makes, he's almost playing like a second ST. His work rate to get back and help out aswell is unreal. Completely agree mate he is the best attack mid we have. I said for ages aswell that he should be playing and what a difference he has made to our attacking play. 👍.

06 Jan 2021 10:58:50
Yip coldo can't argue with that mate 👍🇬🇧Scotty Arfield even in his early 30's now, is still a class act on and off the park 👌.

06 Jan 2021 11:01:36
John Hughes told us we were getting some player when we signed him, he was right!

06 Jan 2021 12:37:12
Spot on guys Scotty Airfield is a class act, The sooner he gets back to fitness the better. It was evident on Saturday how much he was missed. 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🇬🇧👍.

While there are travel exemptions in place for elite sports which are designed to facilitate international and European competition and the celtic trip to dubai is not a competition and a training camp
are they not breaches of virus protocol
and the photo for not socially distanced.

05 Jan 2021 19:24:05
Cheese oh, they r allowed to be there, they operate in a bubble.

05 Jan 2021 19:38:26
Oh man, let’s focus on us, not them!

05 Jan 2021 19:57:13
Couldn't care less what they do, but your right mate, the FM has said on BBC that celtic have questions to answer, her words, not mine,

05 Jan 2021 20:13:56
You're right DK19. Let's just focus on ourselves. They are making a decent job of self destruction themselves.

One thing though. All it takes is one of them to test positive on their return and from what the pictures show they will all have to self isolate as they are not following social distancing therefore they are all close contacts of one another. Watch this space.

Let's just quietly go about our own business though. There will be more episodes from their soap opera to come.

05 Jan 2021 20:16:04
Correct dk.

05 Jan 2021 15:25:33
Thomas Robert must be worth a punt at a few hundred grand, young enough to invest in?

05 Jan 2021 15:43:47
Is he any better than our academy players, I read Murray saying he could earn Ardrie around one million.

05 Jan 2021 15:58:01
So in the past week alone on here, posters would like to buy Nesbitt, Doig, Newall, Porteous, Ferguson, Lundstrom and now Robert ( calm down Coldo, it isn't PR7🤭😂👀 ) from Airdrie!
Where's the money coming from? And are we going to build a bigger dressing room?
I would only take Lundstrum. 👍.

05 Jan 2021 16:13:53
MPH every club needs new players as other players will
Move that’s what happens in football.

05 Jan 2021 16:26:24
What about big Duffy as back up? I hear Celtic want rid and have paid his wages till end of season? 😳.

05 Jan 2021 16:49:06
Desperately trying to dig yourself out your kerryfail winners post MPH I see👀👀😉🤣👍.

05 Jan 2021 16:51:42
Correct KJA9. But players need to want to move on first - and we've a few who won't get the same money elsewhere.
Not everybody will want to move for footballing reasons.
And a few of the names mentioned are not at the quality we should be aiming for.

05 Jan 2021 17:01:05
Have we not got over a dozen young guys out on loan?
Are any of them getting a game or doing well enough to be kept on? Or brought back.

05 Jan 2021 17:02:54
I’ve never seen Roberta play but if he’s good enough to impress the scouts and dof and coach then he will be worth a punt. I know he’s had good reviews and made a good impression with ability and attitude. And mph those players were all suggested by different posters. You’re making out one person wants them all. It’s just fans making suggestions mate.
Kind of the point in the site bud 👍.

05 Jan 2021 17:24:55
MPH, never mind the nasty posts mate✌️.

05 Jan 2021 17:35:04
Some just love to make it personal!

05 Jan 2021 18:43:21
Re-read my post Ingerrardwetrust.
It clearly says posters which is the plural of poster (singular) .

05 Jan 2021 19:25:14
Yately, what is the nasty post from mph.

05 Jan 2021 19:26:47
Yes I know mate but you’re basically saying get a grip with regards to the amount of players people are posting about, not in so many words, but that’s what your saying. I’m pointing out that it’s all came from many different people and oppinions so obviously there’s going to be lots of players. We’re not the board weee not in the know so can’t just discuss the guaranteed signings. Not having a go mate just saying that’s what the sites about gossip rumours oppinions etc.

05 Jan 2021 20:26:31
MPH did you say the same when we signed kamara Some of these players could do well for us or some could bomb that’s the gamble when you sign anyone.

I am not saying we should be going for them but we
Can’t afford to spend millions upon millions.

06 Jan 2021 08:03:45
KAJ9 - Rangers can't take gambles anymore on players who might make the grade for the following reasons:-
1/ from a financial aspect
2/ we've already got players on decent money that need to be moved on
3/ most importantly, most of the players I've noted above will not enhance the 1st team ( IMHO ) . And would not make an impact in Europe as they aren't good enough for that level.
And you mention Kamara, who only cost £50,000!
Would you be happy to gamble £2 million plus wages on Ferguson?

05 Jan 2021 14:21:15
Hi guys,

Lot of talk on here that timco want the season voided.

Is that not the same as turky's voting for Christmas, as they would then not have any chance of winning ten in a row.

If the do not win this season whether or not they play out the season, they cannot win the ten that have to be won ten on the bounce season to season.

Am I wrong again as usual tho guys.

05 Jan 2021 14:41:45
No its correct but they already know they can't win 10 and are trying to ruining our success.

05 Jan 2021 17:26:05
I’m not sure how that would mean they couldn’t do ten, not that I think it’s truly nine, if this season was voided it would simply mean them having a clean start at 10, I don’t think that will happen though.

05 Jan 2021 18:04:57
Tomthumb12 it would break 10 consecutive seasons.

05 Jan 2021 18:38:46
Hi Tomthumb,

Do you mean a clean start at a new ten, that's what I was trying to find out but unfortunately only you and sweep1 have responded.

I personally feel they have no right to a ten in a row if they do not win it this season whether the season is voided or not.

Wish someone could provide an official answer answer.

Perhaps a new post on the subject at a later date may help guys.

05 Jan 2021 19:32:44
If, and it’s a BIG IF, the season was to be made null and void, which it won’t, Rangers will either be awarded the title on same basis as Celtic, which is a points per game ratio or it would be made void and the “10 in a row” campaign would begin again as null and void means it never happened. It will never happen after Celtic being awarded it last year.

05 Jan 2021 20:00:09
Sweep, no, it would mean 10 x consecutive seasons, don't know how you would think otherwise really, if ones " voided" it means it doesn't exist, therefore the consecutive seasons would go on without that season being counted of course it would be consecutive seasons.

05 Jan 2021 23:02:05
The " 10 in a row campaign " wouldn't begin again inger, they would simply be going for 10, sadly that's what it would be, they would be going for 10, sad as that would be, you can't be serious thinking they wouldn't be going for 10, because one season is voided it just doesn't count but they would still be on 9 and going for 10.

05 Jan 2021 13:49:56
After talking about our former youth keeper the other day there liam kelly, i see he's signing for motherwell on loan 🤔 He's a terrific keeper and that's a good signing for motherwell 👌 He'll be their no.1👌.

05 Jan 2021 15:38:01
Great young keeper but seems to have fallen out the first team under Warburton.

05 Jan 2021 16:20:48
He fell out the picture because he got injured BluebellAndy 👍🇬🇧.

05 Jan 2021 16:55:11
I know him personally sgl.
Great lad and loves the Rangers.
He was gutted to leave us at the time.
Theres a little bit more to it than just his injury. 😉.

05 Jan 2021 18:52:42
BluebellAndy, i actually stated on here how highly i rated liam kelly mate. He would imo anyway be the perfect understudy to greegs, with the eventuality of taking over from him. He's a talented young keeper 👌.

05 Jan 2021 18:55:47
If liam kelly does indeed sign for motherwell, i wish him all the very best and hope he can go on to fulfill his massive potential, as he has plenty of that 👌🇬🇧 Hope he gets his career back on track 🙏.

05 Jan 2021 19:27:43
McLaughlin is the understudy to mcgregor.

05 Jan 2021 19:33:32
Could gatecrash Scotland’s euros squad coops I remember he had a call up at livi.

05 Jan 2021 12:56:44
Morning bears was watching old firm game from 2018 at Ibrox I know it was two years ago but Ross mcorrie played not a bad game that day is he now out on loan to Aberdeen if so could we not recall him for cover for Jack and arfield.

05 Jan 2021 15:25:19
Don’t think we could even if wanted to, although it’s a season long loan deal they have an obligation to buy at end of season for £350k. Therefore it’s an iron clad contract that he’s now there player basically mate.

05 Jan 2021 15:40:52
I'm sure I remember reading when he went to the sheep it was a loan with buy at end of loan period so I'm not sure if we would be allowed to bring him back in.
I'm sure Stevie will have someone else up his sleeve though🤞
🔴⚪🔵.

05 Jan 2021 15:45:40
Ingerr I agree. The mccrorie boat has sailed, he does not want to play for gerrard.

05 Jan 2021 17:29:01
Not even a consideration mate, he’s basically an Aberdeen player.

05 Jan 2021 11:41:06
Does anybody else find it sad and desperate that a set of fans who celebrated winning the league last season want it voided this season under the same circumstances.

05 Jan 2021 12:04:10
Embarrassing, humiliating, pathetic, desperate, pick a word that best describes the dhims. They don't want to let go of that 8 and 3/ 4* and will do anything to hold on to it. Quite sad really. 👍.

05 Jan 2021 12:23:43
Brilliant how they are all changing there views from last season haha. N.

05 Jan 2021 12:35:01
I don’t use social media guys other than this, so I’ve not seen fb or Twitter etc. but I was reading paper online last night and that was making out the rims are doing this out of tongue and cheek. What’s you’re thoughts on this as yous have seen the comments/ petition etc I take it? I haven’t.

05 Jan 2021 12:48:48
Interesting to note that last season each team had played against each other home and away. This season hasn't been the case. There have been a few postponements but one team in particular seem to be dragging their heels with regards to rearranging games. They had a free week in December and they could have played another game this week too. I wonder why they are holding off the games as late as possible? Is it to say that as they haven't played every team H&A that it hasn't been a fair league? I would hope that wouldn't be the case.

I also hope the season gets played to a finish so we can win the league on the pitch and we can celebrate an actual moment that will live in the memories unlike that lot last year celebrating a lost email.

05 Jan 2021 13:06:26
There's no chance of the season being halted anyway, testing is much better now. Clutching at straws comes to mind.

05 Jan 2021 13:07:51
Coldo 2020 - Celtic deserved to win 9IAR as Rangers wouldn't have caught them.
Coldo 2021 - Celtic don't want to let go of that 8 3/ 4*

05 Jan 2021 13:34:55
Need to remind you SWEEP1, they didnae win the league last season they were AWARDED (gifted) it.

05 Jan 2021 14:14:59
Poor effort MPH, stick to kerryfail posts🤭👍

We would never have caught them, same as they would never catch us👍

I always said the were awarded it and the league should have continued.

And for the record, history will always show 9* in a row.

Better luck next time MPH, another belter🤭👀👀👍.

05 Jan 2021 20:03:34
Tattie, is this all you do mate, can't you just discuss football without putting someone down, i rely on the football to see me through some very very dark times, why do you need to attack absolutely everything I say just because you have taken a dislike to me, you don't know anything about me, and you would be quite shocked if you did, its just pathetic now.

05 Jan 2021 10:21:14
With the schools closed again I can see my Granddaughter and Grandson getting top marks in their Fortnite exam.

05 Jan 2021 12:24:34
I'll never get a game of the wee mans fifa21 now with him in the house all the time 🤣🤣.

05 Jan 2021 09:25:13
Could you imagine BuzzBUM if we had went to Dubai on a piss up, sorry I mean training exercise? Sitting in public areas sinking pints?
"The Sevies next two results are now 3-0 defeats and the lead is now down to 13 points" would be his cry! 🤠😂😂🇬🇧.

05 Jan 2021 09:52:57
See timco don't want their Dubai trip investigated, Peter says the SNP gave permission an helped them to arrange it.

Paper can take on anything including sh*t.

05 Jan 2021 10:11:18
Permission was given 2-3 months ago. Things have changed a bit since then, and you would have thought someone at porkheid might have had a wee think.
But then again?

05 Jan 2021 10:15:44
They'll be safe, they've put Herras fencing around the pool.

05 Jan 2021 10:43:20
Everyman and their dog knew we were heading for a lock down after the new year, Wh did they not listen to Government advice about travelling after boxing day and cancel the trip.

05 Jan 2021 10:55:50
morning fellow bears getting fed up with this jolly outing of the dhims! in my opinion they probably have not done anything wrong . but should the trip not have been reviewed before they went? they applied back in november why the level wasnt as high as now. so why wasnt their plans reviewed? it has been stated that elite sports may only travel for competitions only? so. ? they are so many games adrift and could be more . so this could lead to a huge back log of games a fixture nightmare for the sfa spfl or whoever why would they allow this when they could have made celtic play the week before last seasons fa cup? and they could be playing midweek this week? this was all caused by rule breaking but they still allowed this trip to go ahead? without any review? absolutely ridiculous in my opinion . are there any other teams in the uk doing the same? ok rant over bears. i wonder what we would think if rangers were doing similar?

05 Jan 2021 11:11:53
Listen guys you were told not to even spend Xmas and New Year with your family and they never thought to review the situation! Probably sale or no return on their money.
