Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


06 Jul 2020 19:38:04
With the game against Leverkusen into the start of our season. Who is allowed to play. The squad players that are left after transfers or can the new guys play etc. If for instance Morelos left his new team isn't going to let him play and even if rules where put in place to allow it what player is going to want to risk injury and affect a move. I'm not sure of the process if any one else is.



06 Jul 2020 20:34:52
Chris. Uefa confirmed they must have been signed by us in February. So example Hagi ok
Bassey and McLaughlin not
I think it leaves us a wee problem in goal. Ie mcgregor and Firth then a boy.
If we bought back kamberi he would be ok.
Dochefty, mccrorie, Middleton Murphy not eligible.
So I see us being very short given we have lost Halliday, Flanagan, ojo, foderingham polster etc.



06 Jul 2020 20:41:22
Would not worry a out Leverkusen as it will be damage limitation only.



06 Jul 2020 21:35:11
Good post John25, looking forward to the game, will be interesting to see how we approach.



06 Jul 2020 21:40:55
John how would FK be ok but hagi not ok to play can you please explain?



06 Jul 2020 21:41:34
Sorry John read your post wrong 🙈 need to go to spec savers.



06 Jul 2020 22:10:28
Cool kJ a9.



06 Jul 2020 22:17:33
kJ our squad would look something like
Mcgregor tav goldston helander barisic Jack Davis kamara
Hagi Morelos Kent
Firth Barker Edmundson Defoe Stewart Jones Aribo
Very thin. Add new signings not eligible for Europe McLaughlin and Bassey
Consider Murphy docherty Ross mccrorie
We need work for a league squad.
I’m sure I’ve probably missed a couple.



06 Jul 2020 22:51:56
At least we got this far how far did the Celtic get I rest My case 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.



06 Jul 2020 23:43:08
Thanks for clearing that up I hadn’t read anything. Technically if the club had a mass clear out of the squad you could in essence leave yourself without enough eligible players. Realy is crazy situation. It obviously doesn’t effect us but is this the same situation for hearts and their Scottish cup semi when it gets played because their squad will take a big hit you’d imagine with relegation.



07 Jul 2020 08:55:10
Chris gf 4 no I believe clubs left In Scottish cup will be allowed to use present pool of players. To be honest I’m not interested as it does not affect gers.



07 Jul 2020 10:21:31
John, but most of Hearts team from last year have left so maybe they can’t field a team? ✌️.



07 Jul 2020 12:05:20
Yately I clearly say they can use their present pool,



07 Jul 2020 13:38:48
I understand what you are saying a John mate but how can that be last years trophy then? ✌️It’s not right. If we had finished our season like most Leagues we wouldn’t be playing last years EL into our new season ✌️✌️.



07 Jul 2020 14:59:50
Far Too logical Yately01.



07 Jul 2020 16:36:07
Yately I don’t make therules.



07 Jul 2020 17:10:12
Ah bet Celtic staff will go over all remaining team lists, searching for illegible players.
Try and have remaining teams kicked out of competition.
Have the Scottish cup awarded to them like league was awarded.



07 Jul 2020 17:32:46
Benjiboy what a load of bull

I never seen the we got further than Celtic cup before have you

I don’t care about Europe the league is the only thing that matters anything else is a bonus.



07 Jul 2020 19:25:01
My rants over John😇✌️🇬🇧 Cheered bud.



07 Jul 2020 21:51:55
Yately rants are allowed mate.



06 Jul 2020 19:34:03
Guys i was reading an article with big kyle lafferty there saying why he felt it didn't work out for him under gerrard, in his 2nd spell at rangers. Very interesting and very worth reading, as he holds our first team coach michael beale in very high esteem.
He says beale's coaching methods/ ideas are out of this world and says beale is the brains behind our management team! 👌He says in his opinion beale most definitely has the ability to follow on from gerrard, as the next rangers manager/ head coach. Of course that would depend that when gerrard eventually leaves, that beale didn't move with him.
Worth the read guys 👍.



06 Jul 2020 20:52:42
Where did you read that SGL? I always liked big Kyle. Didn’t work out 2nd time but I fondly remember him scoring in the first few minutes at Rugby Park when we won the league down there on the last day. He was fortunate enough to play with Jelavic who was some player. An all round centre forward who could score, make some runs, hold the ball up and bring others into play.



06 Jul 2020 21:02:46
The full interview is on open goal with Si Ferry on YouTube. Great viewing once again from Si 👌🏻.



06 Jul 2020 21:07:05
Its from open goals with Si Ferry, now on you tube, couple of hours with big Laff. Interesting watch as usual.



07 Jul 2020 10:23:19
Obviously big Lafferty didn’t have the correct mindset to play again for our club and this should have been picked up after all his problems off the pitch 🇬🇧.



07 Jul 2020 15:48:32
This lafferty interview regarding how highly he rates our first team coach got me casting my mind back years ago to the graeme souness/
walter smith management partnership.
The scenario then as was said even back then, that souness was the big name and magnet for players and walter smith was the brains behind it and the better coach, who went on 2 become the better manager. This looks like it could be reminiscent of the gerrard/ beale management partnership. Gerrard the magnet with the big name, with beale the coaching brains behind it. I wonder if beale could go on to eventually become the better manager and maybe the future rangers manager/ head coach, when gerrard does eventually leave. You just never know guys, but a very interesting subject, brought to the fore by big kyle lafferty's interview on gerrard and beale! 🤔.



07 Jul 2020 17:05:16
Coops, Don’t think I would place too much reliance on the opinion of Lafferty even if he does hold it which I’m not convinced he actually does. No comparison between Beale and Sir Walter.



07 Jul 2020 19:43:17
Bankie, i remember when we brought gerrard in as manager and then when he in turn brought in michael beale as our first team coach, i remember reading from people in the footballing circles, how highly beale was rated as a coach and the places he went studying different coaching methods. Its also worth noting that beale has worked under and alongside some top manager's. I remember that brendan rodgers had worked under some great managers, before eventually becoming a very good manager himself. It does work you know mate!



07 Jul 2020 20:06:14
Coops, hope your right. I was not impressed last season when Beale tried to explain our inconsistency, sounded far too much like unacceptable explanation provided by Tav and Kent.



06 Jul 2020 18:44:17
With pre-season and only one league game under our belt before the Beyer Leverkusen game but with their season over since last week, who will be fresher for the Europa League match? You often see it in play offs or after mid season breaks that the "stronger" team can be ring rusty as they have had a few weeks off legs are a bit heavy and aren't quite as match sharp. If we had a couple of games more I would say we would have a right good chance as you have to admit they are a stronger team when match fit, but I think it is a wee bit of a leveller. Makes it a bit more interesting.



06 Jul 2020 20:00:00
Leverkusen will beat us, much better side and 3-1 up.



06 Jul 2020 23:54:53
Even if Leverkusen are a better team with better players I always believe, heart on hand, that Rangers can win. If our players play to their best and Leverkusen don’t then Rangers have a chance.



07 Jul 2020 00:31:49
Sweep1 always the optimist.



07 Jul 2020 08:29:07
being truthful, they were miles ahead of Rangers at Ibrox, 3-1 flattered us.



07 Jul 2020 10:09:45
Leverkusen might lose a couple of their top players by the time of the game.



07 Jul 2020 13:52:47
guys we always have to consider ourselves as having a chance. else why even try. you think SG will be in the dressing room saying don't worry we expect to get beat so don't try and don't get injured. ofcourse not we need to try. ok odds are against us but what's the point in even playing if you don't have some belief we can work a mirable. i always remember the BoB against Leeds, never thought we had a chance and look what happened.



07 Jul 2020 16:48:33
So they should be sweep1,as they've got havertz who's worth 100million and is an amazing young player. So of course they were a better team than us, but no shame on us, as we had a fantastic europa league campaign and again punched above our weight! 👍👌
Bayer Leverkusen are a terrific team.



06 Jul 2020 17:43:02
So Jordan Jones in soapy bubble with the law with driving offences. Does anybody think he'll get a game this season imo chuck him as soon as.



06 Jul 2020 18:00:38
Dont think he will be at club for start of season.



06 Jul 2020 18:35:23
Boy has lots of ability but, no brains by the sounds of it. don't think Stevie G will put up with any more of his Nonsense. Loan him out and hope he plays out his skin and we can either sell him or take him back.



06 Jul 2020 20:12:20
Jones has very limited ability, a 1 trick pony who has been sussed out. He won't play for Rangers again.



06 Jul 2020 21:49:28
It’s a traffic offence happens to most people give the guy a break.



06 Jul 2020 23:10:26
He's hardly had any game time to get sussed out! And the boy does have good ability just needs tae settle down and screws the Nut.



07 Jul 2020 06:44:53
he got caught undertaking people, not even news worthy.



07 Jul 2020 13:21:25
I can't get too excited about someone being hit with a traffic offence for undertaking other cars given the number of morons on the road that hug the middle or outside lane and sit at 30 MPH! I am more interested in the boys football ability!



07 Jul 2020 13:55:10
and football ability is what he is lacking, as someone said 1 trick pony. in fact my mate who is a Killie supporter said exactly that when he heard he was coming to us. No great loss he said, one trick pony and no good when teams are sitting in against us as he won't get past anyone where he has to make his own space.



06 Jul 2020 17:29:50
Bears if Buffalo goes remember we are losing the top goal scorer in the Europa League is goal was the one that took us into the group stages against if I'm not mistaken the best defence in the qualifiers (Legia Warsaw)

If he leaves I'll be really disappointed if we don't get £20m.

Also would like a proven European goal scorer to replace him.

I know Morelos came from Finland but he is one in ten that you buy for 1m and get that goal return .



06 Jul 2020 18:20:17
AB We won't get close to 20m. We will get 12m plus add ons or there abouts imo.



06 Jul 2020 18:38:11
The simple thing is, if we don't get a price that suits us then he will have to stay.
He is a 20m player every day of the week, if mcburnie is 20m then why not 20m for fredo who is better than him?



06 Jul 2020 18:59:42
If that’s what comes to light very disappointing. We can’t challenge the funny folk if we keep selling our best players on the cheap

If you have a good first half playing for them your worth 20m and they tell themselves that and others start to believe it .



06 Jul 2020 20:14:55
As1974- if teams are only going to offer 12 million then simples- Not for sale!



06 Jul 2020 21:28:19
@The Stuck totally agree but if the boy wants to go then let him.



06 Jul 2020 23:00:37
Set up by JJ.



06 Jul 2020 23:38:54
I'm sure we will get what some team is willing to pay, could be 12million, but hopefully, will be nearer to 20million.
he is our player on a long contract,
I'm sure we will try and barter for ah wee bit more than 12m.



07 Jul 2020 00:29:39
Another bear, great UB40 song in your recent post anybody else got it.



06 Jul 2020 17:14:40
just my opinion - do not believe that any of the players we are looking at are quality enough for Rangers or more importantly, will stop Celtic. And if Morelos goes, we can forget it. Rangers need quality players from quality leagues, not has beens or a might be!



06 Jul 2020 18:05:38
Top quality players cost big transfer fees. Those days are long gone.
Despite that let's wait and see who we actually sign (not just linked with)



06 Jul 2020 19:14:55
I totally agree mrgrumpy, just all feels a bit desperate at the moment. Hopefully Mr G can motivate the arrivals to a high standard.



06 Jul 2020 22:43:46
Alfredo won't leave till January. Club really don't need to sell. We will knock back anything less tht 15 with add ons. Guy can score for fun get him out of this joke of a league and his disciplinary problems will suddenly vanish and we will wish he stay. Some gers are shocking these days with the negativity, we talk about buy this guy that guy we have a top class European striker get aff his back and hope he stays.



07 Jul 2020 13:22:49
The transfer window does not open until August and right now the Media is trying to guess who we will buy. They don't even have a clue of what our transfer budget is!



06 Jul 2020 16:16:52
Morelos to Everton doing the rounds of say make them pay 20mil+ with add ons and see what our scouting network have up there sleeve. What do think bears cut him loose now and look for someone with the right attitude.



06 Jul 2020 17:17:42
I do think morelos will be sold this summer and i wouldn't rule out atletico madrid signing him.



06 Jul 2020 17:31:40
I would sell Morelos to Everton if we received £20m + a 10% on any future transfers. Good team to start his career with in England now that they have a quality manager. If the Gatusso rumours are true then Everton might have to outbid the Italians!



06 Jul 2020 18:34:39
SGL and Berkshire Blues I hope that all clubs mentioned are serious contenders therefore we can get a bidding war going.



06 Jul 2020 19:38:20
On the assumption that morelos is definitely going and i think he is,
then of course the more clubs that get involved bidding to sign him, the better for us, as it will bump up the transfer fee 👍.



06 Jul 2020 13:45:46
Re the center half, any one think a cheeky loan bit for Scott Dan of CP?
I doubt we will go n buy a CH simply because Katic will be back.



06 Jul 2020 14:58:19
I agree Kri55. I said a few months ago that I thought he woke he good addition to the squad. Just what I think we need an experienced defender.



06 Jul 2020 17:16:43
Helander is back in full training will be him and goldosn as a pair 💪🏼.



06 Jul 2020 17:19:19
Scott dann would be a good signing if we could get him and he's a free agent Kri55!👍.



06 Jul 2020 17:32:40
Good call! A no nonsense experienced defender!



06 Jul 2020 18:15:09
Don't necessarily have a problem with signing dann but signing experienced (older) players doesn't always work.
He's only played 25 games in the last 2 seasons. Can anyone really say they've seen much of him play recently?



06 Jul 2020 18:21:19
Don't rate Hellander. he's too slow.



06 Jul 2020 19:27:36
Neither was Davie Weir but he came up here and done a job for us 🤔.



06 Jul 2020 19:40:25
Mrgrumpy, surely we've all seen scott dann playing many times? Most of us that watch english football must have seen dann playing often!



06 Jul 2020 21:28:53
He's played 25 games in 2 seasons. Are many folk really watching palace? 🤔
David Weir worked brilliantly.
Bruno alves? 🤔.



06 Jul 2020 21:48:38
For the people saying exp doesn't always work. Well neither does youth lol so, its always a shot in the dark. As mentioned before, most of us will have seen Dann play enough to know he would be a fine addition for 6month/ 1 year, if he's a free agent even better. Years deal with option of a further year.



06 Jul 2020 12:08:46
£25 million for Odsonne Edouard from Crystal Palace. £15 million for Alfredo Morelos, what's your thoughts on this fellow Bears?



06 Jul 2020 12:49:55
funny that, my mate from London says that in England they believe Morelos is way better than Edouard who they believe has not much skill and can't score at european level like Morelos can. He believes the pricing should be the other way around.



06 Jul 2020 13:01:17
Whatever striker has scored more goals should reflect their price tag.



06 Jul 2020 13:03:16
Bria bear does you cousin speak for the full of England?

Can’t see him going to palace either.

Imho Edouard is a better player than fredo and I can say that because I don’t walk around with blue tinted specs on like some.



06 Jul 2020 13:18:30
If Morelos could stay disciplined and do it over a whole season then yeah, on his day Morelos is unbelievable, Edouard is a more composed finisher and is reliable. Unfortunately Morelos has devalued due to form and reliability. If he stays that could change in the next six months with some good form and behaviour but it’s a gamble.



06 Jul 2020 13:36:13
Morelos is the better goalscorer.
Édouard is the better footballer.
I'd rather have the goalscorer. 👍.



06 Jul 2020 13:43:33
I tend to mostly agree with KJA9 on the morelos/ edouard debate, if i'm being honest! I think edouard is the better all round footballer, but i think morelos is the better goalscorer and IMHO it doesn't matter who these 2 very good strikers go on to play with, i believe that morelos will outscore edouard if not every season, definitely the majority of the time. When both their football careers have ended calculating in the games they've played in, i would fully expect morelos to have scored more goals than edouard! 👌.



06 Jul 2020 13:54:35
I like probably most of you played for many years and as a striker. You can see it in players who are natural goal (their movement and thoughts are only of scoring, not looking good, the animal to always score) scorers and others who rely on huge service. Morelos does not need as much service as Edouard and in my opinion a far better striker.



06 Jul 2020 14:37:19
If you compare both players on chances take and missed, Edourd is the better player, as I said in another post, I think Alfie has missed too many gilt edged chances, again, jus my opinion, it doesn't make him a bad player.



06 Jul 2020 15:35:42
You are in denial if you think Morelos is a better striker than Edouard (at this stage of their careers) . Firstly, they are totally different in style. Morelos works harder and can bully defenders more than Edouard. But on the goalscoring, I think Morelos is an instinctive striker, but he lacks composure in front of goal, something Edouard has lots of. If Morelos had better composure in front of goal he could have scored double the amount of goals he has done. How many guilt edged sitters has he missed? He gets into good areas really well so if he could nurture the finishing he could be some striker for sure.



06 Jul 2020 15:43:44
FruitBear, we are in total agreement here.



06 Jul 2020 16:06:20
I think that's s very true, well written post by yourself FruitBear 👌! Can you imagine how even better defoe would be, if he could bully defenders like morelos can? Also take it the other way, imagine with the style morelos has, he had the finishing ability of defoe! Morelos would be unplayable 👌.



06 Jul 2020 16:11:28
Coops that's a silly statement. So if 1 ends up in english premier league and 1 ends up staying in scotland I know which one would score more goals.



06 Jul 2020 16:04:32
I agree Fruitbear that Morelos and Edouard are different strikers. However they are both good strikers and they both miss chances. For example, when they played FC Copenhagen in Europe this year, Edouard missed a glut of gilt-edged chances in the first leg of the tie. They would probably have went through the tie had he taken those chances.



06 Jul 2020 17:12:00
SGL it depends on what teams the strikers go to as to who will out score who.

Fruitbear great post.

Bris bear take of the blue tinted specs.



06 Jul 2020 17:25:08
Fauldhoose bear, i'm hypothetically speaking on the assumption that both morelos and edouard will move on to play in better leagues mate. It stands to reason if one of them remained in scotland and the other moved to the english premier league,
the one in the weaker scottish league would indeed score most goals, that's a given!



06 Jul 2020 17:38:38
Goal scorer vs Footballer.

Morelos - 12 goals in 26 league games
Edouard - 21 goals in 27 league games

Who is the goal scorer again?

Edouard all day long! Morelos is great on his day, he can bully an entire back 4 on his own. But his finishing is poor and his attitude stinks. Plays football like a spoilt little brat, not an elite professional.



06 Jul 2020 18:14:06
Edouard doesn't get sent off morelos does, Edouard is much better under pressure, no question I'd rather have Edouard.



06 Jul 2020 21:47:32
Exactly zikos it’s not even a contest but some people can’t bring themselves to praise other teams players no matter what.



06 Jul 2020 22:29:42
Eduard is a good player, no doubt about that. He should be he cost over £9m.
Morelos cost just over £1m.
If we're looking at stats here's some.
Morelos, last 3 seasons
Games 137
Goals 77
Assists 29

Eduard, last 3 seasons
Games 129
Goals 60
Assists 31.

Think it's a bit more of a contest than some on here think 😉.



07 Jul 2020 00:24:06
Totally agree Mrgrumpy. Your figures are more of a true comparison, not just one year as above.



07 Jul 2020 01:05:07
Ok Mrgrumpy - Can you do the stats again and show league games.

Btw Edouard cost £2M more than Kent - I know which investment I would rather have made.



07 Jul 2020 05:49:29
Why zikos? I included ALL games both players have played in. Am not disputing Eduard is a good player, simply pointing out so is Morelos.
Not sure where Kent comes in to the discussion but yes Eduard certainly seems a better investment than Kent.



07 Jul 2020 08:51:45
The reason I’m interested in the league stats is because that’s the premier competition. Some people on here are of the opinion that Morelos had a great season, saying he scored 30 goals when in fact he had a pretty poor season scoring only 12 league goals. I don’t even think he was in the top 5 scorers which for the No1 striker at an old firm club is shocking.

Also the reason I mentioned Kent was because it was mentioned that Edouard should be good because he cost £9M. Well Kent cost £7M and so far has been rubbish.

Personally think that when Morelos is on his game he is a great player but his attitude stinks and he can’t manage himself over a full season. If we can’t replace him with better this season then we need some more depth so that when he is going through these spells that we can take him out the team and then his erratic form won’t impact on the team and results as much.



07 Jul 2020 16:07:58
Morelos was having a great season up until the winter break. He scored incredibly important goals in Europe, the winner to get us into the group stages, goals against feynoord, Porto, young boys.
In the premiership he scored 12 goals in 26 games.
Definitely agree we need more strength in depth, goal wise throughout the team.



06 Jul 2020 11:36:33
With Katic being a doubt for most of next season I'd like to see us take a punt on Dario Del Fabro who impressed on loan at Kilmarnock last season or Christophe Berra, thoughts?



06 Jul 2020 11:40:24
Berra not anywhere near good enough for a shocking hearts side. You have to be kidding me?



06 Jul 2020 11:53:08
Berra past it mate. Hearts fans wanted him dropped last year and that's playing for the worst team in the league!



06 Jul 2020 11:59:38
We have 3 CH’s and McCrorie and Bassey can also play in the position. Also CH’s in the U21 to call on. No need to panic.



06 Jul 2020 12:06:15
You Berra be joking he’s rank.



06 Jul 2020 12:21:30
Berra you are having a laugh. 😂😂😂
It’s a bit early to be on the sauce is not.



06 Jul 2020 12:31:36
Promote youth to fill the fourth CB slot and use Calvin Bassey if things get worse injury wise, youth have to see pathway to first team. Berra. c'mon man.



06 Jul 2020 13:07:02
I would have said give Leon king a chance but maybe just a bit too young at 16.

Bassey can play left back CH so maybe cover there.
SG will not play RM at CH.

Maybe a loan for a CH for a season.
But no doubt SG will have someone in mind.



06 Jul 2020 13:17:26
I think we will go for a loan cb.



06 Jul 2020 13:46:09
How about the Uruguayan carceres on a short term deal.



06 Jul 2020 14:39:03
For me, Bassey will start in the team, either at left back or centre half. the left back slot, if Barisic is sold.



06 Jul 2020 16:09:52
Give Lewis Mayo a chance now that Katic is injured.



06 Jul 2020 16:59:49
Goldson, Helander and Edmundson will be our centre backs with backup from Bassey and Mayo. That's five, we don't require anyone else.



06 Jul 2020 17:01:18
Im not sure what all the panic about Katic injury. For me we have loads of cover with Goldson, Helander, Edmunson and Bassey all vying for 2 spots.



06 Jul 2020 17:03:53
Woeful. Woeful. Awful.



06 Jul 2020 17:28:56
What about crystal palace centre half scott dann on a short term contract, as he's a free agent in the summer? Big dann would absolutely p**s it up here in our league, so he would! 👍Would be a terrific signing with still miles left on the clock, if we could get him! He's 33 years old, not too old for a centre half.



06 Jul 2020 11:07:59
That is a shame about Katic's injury and I liked him as a player, but I don't think we need to go and sign someone else for central defence. Goldson and Edmondson are here and isn't Helander still a Rangers player? Can McCrorie be recalled from loan? I also thought new signing Bassey could cover at CB?



06 Jul 2020 12:14:29
mccrorie not a centre half mate. Sure gerrard has already said as much.



06 Jul 2020 12:32:30
Agreed, promote youth, Bassey/ youth as 4th choice CB, let's not waste any more wages on someone who won’t play.



06 Jul 2020 13:18:44
Apart from Bassey who is under six foot none off our academy players r ready to play ch.



06 Jul 2020 17:04:00
Joh25 I'm sure Lewis Mayo could handle a game or two against Ross County, St Midden, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone etc. We'll never know until we try him in a couple. He's 6ft 3in, strong, good in the air and has young legs.



06 Jul 2020 17:45:01
Not sure we have a young player that is ready to play Centre back. Unfortunately we don't have a player like Derek Johnston that at 16 was capable of playing both centre half and centre forward. Given the thugs that masquerade as strikers at clubs like Aberdeen we need centre backs that can look after themselves! There was a suggestion previous that Scott Dan on loan might be an option. I thought that was a good call!



06 Jul 2020 18:27:13
Would like to see young lad Mayo given a chance and run out as CH cover.



06 Jul 2020 20:42:37
Covenanter I had forgot about him. He has not played above academy level but agree they need tried sometime.



06 Jul 2020 10:51:30
A couple of weeks ago Lemon was moaning about the league being put back for fans to be at the game. First game is one of the last in the first round of fixtures. Last year it was game four I think. Random draw?



06 Jul 2020 11:00:53
no giving fans that pay 600 bucks a chance to view the biggest match, what's the problem in that?



06 Jul 2020 11:08:11
What makes the Tims any more important than the other clubs fans?



06 Jul 2020 13:46:09
The Tim's are desperate for the corporate hospitality financial boast that will bring.
Times are tight at Celtic Park when you can't afford Big Lurch and you're looking to steal Marshall on a free from Wigan. 👍.



06 Jul 2020 13:48:45
C of ibrox, its totally corrupt and its going to come to light. Wait 'till you see what comes out from this hearts partick thistle case and investigation and not before time!



06 Jul 2020 17:07:12
Strings being well and truly pulled.



06 Jul 2020 10:43:37
With the injury to Katic occurring at this point in pre season and looking like he will miss most of next season i think it is crucial we sign in the central defence.
Assuming Katic will return at this point i think the obvious style of signing would be an experienced player on a short term deal (1 year) or a younger loanee from a premiership side. Any thoughts on the sort of player we could go for?



06 Jul 2020 10:59:57
I don't we will. Doesn't Bassey play LB and CH? So I can't see us signing anymore CH's. 👍.



06 Jul 2020 11:07:16
My understanding was he was a full back. don't think we can cope with only goldson, helander who has an injury hisory and edmundson.
Especially now with mcrorie showing himself to be stronger at RB.



06 Jul 2020 12:15:29
bassey is CB amd LB.



06 Jul 2020 10:34:39
Shame about katic, Ross mccrorie should be the cover for cb. If we go buy someone else it will hurt our chances of convincing top Scottish talent there is a chance at Ibrox for home grown players.



06 Jul 2020 12:09:21
Ross mcrorie is not a cb and under gerrard he will never play cb 👍.



06 Jul 2020 12:11:14
I really wish people would stop saying mccrorie can play centre half because he can't.



06 Jul 2020 16:20:26
Hopefully Lewis Mayo gets a chance.



06 Jul 2020 10:32:06
Well lads the season starts in little over 4 weeks. Its simple. SG wins the league and becomes a Rangers legend. If not his time is up. He won't get another crack.



06 Jul 2020 12:45:06
As1974 I agree with you this has to be last chance saloon, let's not forget our brothers across the sea want to be first to 55 also so it is imperative that we win.



06 Jul 2020 10:25:07
We are away twice to Aberdeen hibs and them before the split they are away only once to hibs Aberdeen and us before the spilt, and I guarantee we will not play all 3 of them at ibrox after the spilt, and they will not be away for those 3 after the split either. 😔😔.



06 Jul 2020 10:55:43
We were home to them all before the split last season. What's your point?



06 Jul 2020 14:23:55
No point mearly an observation, let's see the fixtures after the split.



06 Jul 2020 09:35:20
Rangers away to Aberdeen on a Friday night

Second time in Three years we have been away to Aberdeen

Third year in a row we have been away on our opening game if the season

First old firm game at Celtic Park ( who would have guessed that )

F**k Doncaster
F**k the SPFL

As I've said before on this site nothing else here for us in the corrupt " league "

The sooner we submit an application to joint England's lower leagues the better .



06 Jul 2020 09:38:39
Another bear I'm buzzing Aberdeen away on first day great opening test and difficult game to get out the way.

Cannot wait 😁😁😁😁.



06 Jul 2020 09:45:58
First old firm had to be at Celtic Park it was at Ibrox last season so no point whining.
I hate Doncaster and the SPFL but the reason we have been away from home is because of finishing 2nd it's not rocket science. Win the league then we get an easy home game to start Next season for the flag unfurling.



06 Jul 2020 10:01:21
AnotherBear you should know by now that Celtic and Rangers are never at home on the same weekend and the champions are always at home on the first game of the season. Last season the first old firm game was at ibrox so this season Celtic are at home the way it always has been.



06 Jul 2020 10:04:57
Gazza a do not like Scottish Football at all it seems to be very predictable .

I phoned my dad for example conversation went like this .

Hi dad seen the fixtures list

Naw son

Guess who we have first game if the season

Dad says Aberdeen away - correct

Dad - first old firm game at their ground - correct

Funny that eh?



06 Jul 2020 10:20:37
So we can play away on a Saturday night at half 5 but couldn’t play a Sunday At Ibrox if they are at home on a Saturday?

Why am I acting surprised also we all know the SPFL have nothing to hide they are clean as a whistle.



06 Jul 2020 10:22:03
Another Bear, we are away first game because we can't win the league, league champions always start at home and the first old firm game is at theirs because the first one was at ours last year. let's not let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory though🙈👍.



06 Jul 2020 10:31:58
I’m out.



06 Jul 2020 10:37:55
Another bear

If Celtic win the league then they are at home 1st game of season.

If we win the league we would be at home 1st game of season.

Last season our game against Celtic was at home so this season Celtic play at home 1st against us.
How hard is that to understand? This isn’t nothing new but it suits your corrupt narrative.



06 Jul 2020 10:45:13
Another bear off course we r away they won the league.



06 Jul 2020 10:57:25
EXCUSES already.



06 Jul 2020 11:04:45
I see oldkilly is not conforming with his “comrades” in participating in Dry July!



06 Jul 2020 12:19:26
brilliant. Were away from home because celtic are at home due to winning league always been same way. No sure this is a new thing. Also celtics turn for 1st old firm game at home as was us last season. Such a bonkers rant its funny.



06 Jul 2020 09:31:02
Away to the sheep first game. Find out if Alfie has screwed the nut.



06 Jul 2020 09:35:35
Yip, 5:30 kick off.



06 Jul 2020 09:36:16
Shocker! Tim’s home to Hamilton 1st game we get Sheep away who saw that coming?



06 Jul 2020 09:39:10
There will be no fans at the games so it’s not really relevant who we are playing first up. Should have enough to beat Aberdeen.



06 Jul 2020 09:47:47
Champions always open the campaign at home for flag day. Suppose you cannot remember that far back tho.



06 Jul 2020 10:58:14
What does It matter what time it is on a Saturday night? There's no fans anyway.



06 Jul 2020 11:04:39
Celtic did not win the league it was given to them.



06 Jul 2020 09:18:14
Regarding the new fixtures am I correct in saying it's a computer that does it?
Normally old firm game is 5/ 6 games in and they wanted it later on so fans would hopefully be back and all of a sudden the computer says October the 17th.
The 11th league game in.



06 Jul 2020 09:36:18
For once i agree with you KJA9!👍
It's to suit them, as they will be hoping by then that a good amount of their fans will be able to attend the game, as the first old firm game is NEVER that late in! Popcorn teeth was moaning about this just over a week ago, mmmm🤔, corrupt or what and they're not even hiding it now!



06 Jul 2020 10:41:47
Woo hoo

I didn’t think we would ever agree lol

I think it’s nothing short of a disgrace especially when they mentioned this weeks ago about putting it back.

We do agree that all we want is the best for our club and to be champions again.



06 Jul 2020 10:48:29
Great to see number my fellow bears panicking. I’m glad we r at pittodrie first with no crowd.
Also Hibs Celtic Aberdeen away twice before split good.
All we need to do is our job.



06 Jul 2020 10:59:41
Catch a grip, celtic fans pay 600 pound for a season book, they should be given the best chance to view the biggest game. Honestly the excuses on here are pathetic.



06 Jul 2020 11:07:32
The Tim's are desperate for the corporate hospitality money - nothing more, nothing less.
If we go about our business on the park this season then a random fixture computer will have no bearing on the league destination.
Some on here are starting to sound like paranoid conspiracy Tim's!



06 Jul 2020 12:28:17
U r absolutely correct mr Tupacman.
Medical ie scan was Katic on Friday.



06 Jul 2020 13:10:49
Sweep1 you are talking utter BS.



06 Jul 2020 08:56:52
A few articles now saying Rangers are going to make preliminary enquires about Toney from Peterbourough if it's indeed true

Do you guys then think Morelos is definitely going to be sold
Or could it be we want to add a striker?

I hope it's the later, would like to have that added option of playing the 2 of them up front

If it's the fact morales will definitely go
Would you guys be happy if Toney his direct replacement?



06 Jul 2020 10:26:15
If Toney is being lined up to replace Morelos, then I suppose it would make more sense than Morales.



06 Jul 2020 00:13:52
See Jordan Ibe being suggested down the page, decent player but hopefully had a big personality transplant- start of last season crashed his car. Was at half four in the morning while his mate drove him home ahead of the first day of pre season training.



06 Jul 2020 08:27:09
Ibe is a big no from me, has not kicked a ball since a promising start as a youngster at Liverpool. Can’t even get near Bournemouth squad. I hope we are moving past guys like that these days, up and comers like Olsen etc are where we are at. Ibe on big wages and ends up continuing to be a dud on 3 year deal etc would be a nightmare.



06 Jul 2020 08:56:03
Although i still think both jordan ibe and aaron lennon are good wingers, as long as their attitudes are sorted out, i agree with you coully, that skov olsen would be my preferred choice to solve our troublesome right wing position. He's relatively skillful and likes to cut in on his favoured left foot. He's got a few goals in him also, which is most welcome. He's also at the right age, with already a good bit of experience behind him. He's seemingly not really settled in italian football with bologna.



06 Jul 2020 09:24:17
Coully

I agree ibe is a no go for me just a complete waste of talent.
Hardly played for a couple of years and you need to ask why? Especially in a a struggling Bournemouth team.
Brewster scored again for Swansea yesterday I would definitely take him on loan for a year if we have the chance but think he will stay in the championship on loan.



06 Jul 2020 15:36:21
SGL we already have a player who could play on the right and cut in on his favoured left foot. Ryan Kent 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.
