Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


05 Sep 2019 21:44:09
See that rangers are still looking at free agents to add to what we have, Claudio marchissio allegedly said no. But if we're still looking to add then must only be a good thing surely? Any thoughts bears.



05 Sep 2019 22:25:33
We were looking at Italian b4 we signed king.



05 Sep 2019 21:38:27
Guys, regards Barisic, is he a single guy or married or with a partner, because if he has a partner who isn't with him, that could unsettle him, just a thought folks. I agree, he's the best left back we have, as I said in another post, you don't play with Croatia if you're not a good player, also, if you remember, katic had to bulk up in the gym when he wasn't get a start and just look at the difference in him, just some points to consider.



05 Sep 2019 22:08:46
Are you fishing for a date?



05 Sep 2019 22:28:16
Ha, Ha Snell, no, because you would be too upset, valid points though, some players take longer than other to settle.



06 Sep 2019 12:02:12
Sure you can find a nice handsome left back on Grindr mate 👍.



{Ed001's Note - there spaketh the voice of experience.... Are you happy with your handsome left back? Have you any advice for irv on finding one of his own?}

06 Sep 2019 14:02:50
Nice one Ed.



06 Sep 2019 16:13:18
Swagman, McGrumpy and ED, you guys seem to know a lot about these websites, wonder why?, got to go, the wife's just belted me with a frying pan, real banter at last guys.



06 Sep 2019 17:25:52
Did she catch you creeping on borna's Instagram again mate?



05 Sep 2019 14:29:12
See Greg Docherty didn't make Europa league squad, think it's time we let this boy move on its obvious he's not making it with us
Real shame had high hopes for him he must be gutted Jones out as well I've a feeling he'll be off in January window.



05 Sep 2019 14:41:07
He was never going to be good enough. His family are friends with my family so I was really rooting for him but he’s just not at the level sadly. He’s another Halliday, decent squad player and you would maybe keep him around as he’s a bluenose and probably a good influence in the dressing room, but he’s never going to be a first choice.



05 Sep 2019 15:20:27
Jordan jones is injured that’s why he’s no in it 😂.



05 Sep 2019 16:31:44
So is Flanagan and Barker but they are still included.
Jones injury must be worse than first feared or has he really annoyed Gerrard with that tackle on Sunday
Time will tell.



05 Sep 2019 16:41:19
I really think Docherty is a very good player, and my feeling is that he's what, 19 years old?, so plenty of time for him to make it, he needs more game time, but at a higher level than League 1 in England.



05 Sep 2019 17:25:19
Like yourself irvger, i do also think greg docherty is a good midfielder,
who will only get better. Who better to learn from and train with everyday than steven davis! I honestly do visualise greg docherty becoming a first team regular for us, in the future. I think we should keep him and tell him to bide his time. I may be wrong on this but i stand to be corrected, as i think doch has a future with rangers!



05 Sep 2019 17:47:45
Yeah absolutely plenty time for Docherty to develop.



05 Sep 2019 18:00:04
Said it when we signed him. said it when he went on loan. said it when he returned. Not good enough. Aribo jack davis kamara arfield and loaned out mccrorie are all better than him.



05 Sep 2019 18:39:16
He's atleast 22 not 19.as good as he will ever be or there abouts. Regardless he not quite good enough unfortunately.



05 Sep 2019 19:51:51
Would be really disappointed if Doc didn’t get a chance. Think a guy like him should be in front of Andy King but I trust SG so I hope it works out for the guy.



05 Sep 2019 21:05:45
Said a while ago that he'd be lucky to get game time👍.



06 Sep 2019 07:06:00
With a squad of 50 named and he's not in it?
I think that tells you all you need to know.



06 Sep 2019 08:44:58
Docherty is 23 next week and unfortunately he won't be making it with us. He'll be away come January.



06 Sep 2019 08:45:37
Jaws, surely you're not seriously suggesting that Docherty is a better player than King, a highly experienced and skilled internationalist with an EPL winners badge? Or are you suggesting he should be in front of King just because he's a good guy?



06 Sep 2019 09:53:36
Tango rfc Jones out for a month europa league is longer than that, so entirely possible he could have been included 😂😂😂.



06 Sep 2019 10:55:52
daisy yore I’ve always thought if Greg Doc got a good run of games he would be a big player for us in the future. Only reason I used Andy king as an example was although he’s only 31 Doc would be more one for the future imo.



06 Sep 2019 12:42:13
Blue blue sea who would u have dropped to include jones.



06 Sep 2019 14:39:35
Doc should definitely be in the squad just because he supports rangers i can imagine is some folks thinking.



06 Sep 2019 16:06:10
John25 we've 4 recognised forwards in our squad initially I'd have dropped Zak Rudden then for final squad on current form Ojo all depends on the recovery of Jones so I kinda get not taking chance on him just feel Jones if fit seems to offer more than Ojo.

05 Sep 2019 11:05:13
I read Flanagan is out for a while with a hernia problem. Croatia are ranked 7th in the world by FIFA. Surely if Barisic is good enough for them he's good enough for us. Katic has adapted to Scottish football. Why not Barisic? Gerrard needs to give him a run of games. Halliday's not the answer to left back. Can you imagine him making the Croation team? Something's not adding up.



05 Sep 2019 11:19:39
We all know that its a mentality issue with barasic and have done for a while, if he had half the mentality of katic he'd be a player👍.



05 Sep 2019 11:36:19
The thing is guys he needs to start playing like a Croatian international and not like a nervous wreck. I agree he has talent but hasn’t shown it for us and I hope he succeeds 🇬🇧.



05 Sep 2019 12:17:52
Do we Coldo?



05 Sep 2019 12:24:16
I think most of us on here all rate barisic as a talented full back, but for some reason it just hasn't happened for him in scottish football yet! It could be a number of things, like expectation of our club,
the style of scottish football, the pressure of playing for a club our size etc.



05 Sep 2019 12:38:26
BB last outing where he was took off due to concussion he was arguably one of our best players b4 being removed. The game b4 he scored the winner with his free kick and was again one of our better players.
He just needs a run in the team.



05 Sep 2019 14:42:42
If a player is lacking in confidence that’s a coaching issues. It’s for the coaching team to build the boy up so he’s confident enough to go out and express himself. He’s playing the safe pass just now rather than going at his man and putting in those quality crosses, he needs to be encourage to take risks in the final third.



05 Sep 2019 09:31:13
We have all had time to reflect on that debacle on Sunday afternoon and to be honest I am glad for the international break. We have to regroup and with adding Kent it makes us stronger. We will never play as bad again and that was by far the worst we have played under Mr Gerrard! Don't no what he was thinking with the line up and a blind man could see after 10 minutes we were going to lose that match! Anyway upwards and onwards boys ✌️🇬🇧.



05 Sep 2019 09:53:16
Yately, I posted a couple of days ago basicly saying if we do play like that again and lose next 2 or 3 league games there are thousand of previously dedicated Stevie fans who will have had enough of his experiment and will show their wrath in no uncertain terms (just start of season or not) .



05 Sep 2019 10:24:03
As some on here have said - yes you too coops - don't fix something if it ain't broke. We had to play with wide players. Great to have Kent back. A pity about the Jones injury as I rate the guy.



05 Sep 2019 11:01:10
And do you expect us to lose the next 2 or 3 league games bluebilly?



05 Sep 2019 11:12:34
I also noticed referee letting game flow after 20 minutes but only one team seemed to know how that would work.



05 Sep 2019 11:21:33
I don't know why stevie G has to tinker, surely he must have learned by now👍.



05 Sep 2019 11:30:01
Coldo, the problem I think is that we are still in Europe and while that is great, it is the reason that Gerrard tries to freshen up the team, alternating between European games and domestic games. Maybe it would have been better this season not to have qualified for the Europa League! We have Livingston, St Johnstone and Aberdeen (home) in the next three league games this month. Let's get 9 points and see where we are.



05 Sep 2019 11:45:41
Freshen up the team is fine doiger, but he changed the formation, system and tactics when there was no need. We all know that we should have set up to go at them but he set up to frustrate them and played in to their hands. Why? 👍.



05 Sep 2019 13:25:24
he made a mistake, simples.



05 Sep 2019 13:49:31
Why freshen up the team when he knew there was an international break after the game? Not picking Morelos was an awful decision and not playing wingers against 2 full backs that had been struggling defies belief. He had 4 central midfielders in the starting line up and pushed Aribo out wide to accommodate them.



05 Sep 2019 13:51:24
Agree coldo, freshen team don’t change system.
He will learn.



05 Sep 2019 21:44:36
Claudio Ranieri was the ultimate 'Tinkerman' but went on to win the EPL with Leicester City. Hopefully an omen!
