walter smith

Boyd might have turned pish but he still beat the record of that dread headed w**k larson.

A text from marvin from the scheme ya daft gypsy.take your chin off the keyboard, you don't even make any sense.what u talkin about larsson for?! that makes no sense to anybody in any relation to what u said about those players coming back.

Where did gattuso go? where did gio go? get a grip son. we are the people and use will never be!

Brox scouts were reportedly in attendance to see Hemed's international debut at the weekend where he set up a goal for Yossi Benayoun.

Hemed is available on a free transfer as his contract expires at the end of the month and agent Yossi Gaier has urged Rangers to make their move sooner rather than later.

"I'm waiting for a call about the plans of Rangers, " explained Gaier.

"Cagliari and Bologna are interested so clubs will have to make up their minds quickly."

Rangers linked with slovakian defender Roscod. Plays right back aparently. Anybody heard anythin bout it?

06 Jun 2011 22:05:21
to all those posting we are gonna sign this one and that one . .i got a shareholders letter from rangers today and im no legal wizard but it doesn't sound to good and we may not have as much money as we think . .the debt has not been payed off just transfered to another company and the tax issue which mr whyte was confident of winning is creating a serious concern . .we are not out the woods yet guys

I'm sure this is rubbish, yes the tax case is an issue but Murray said he would only sell the club if the deal was in order

Sensible man

Just read statement i am no wizz either but don't see what all the fuss is he has promised 5million a year and 1.7 million for ibrox only thing it doesn't say that he will give us more this transfer window but it dosent say he won't either
west coast bear

Looking at it from an outsiders perspective (Celtic fan here), Murray probably did himself a huge favour in letting Whyte take over the club.

I've no idea what your chances are of winning the tax case but either way it means he's no longer anything to do with Rangers should the case be lost.

This Craig Whyte guy seems a total mystery man as well and I can see why the old board didn't trust him. Everything he says and does is totally vague. Even his thing about pledging money for transfers was vague (He made two points: one was £5M this season, the other £20M between now and 2016 with a maximum of £5M in any one season). Maybe it was just to clarify that there will be money in the summer but on the other hand it could be his way of saving £5M by including this summers 5M leaving 15M over 5 years if things aren't run the way he wants. Or maybe he's not sure yet - wouldn't surprise me.

I also wasn't totally convinced about what he was going to do as regards the debt and tax payments should the tax case be lost (or even won). For all you know he might jump ship to parts unknown.

i read most of the rumours on this site and would like half of them to come true but not heard much about richard foster would love to see him back at ibrox might not be top quality but does his job anyone herd anything ?

06 Jun 2011 20:43:23
gabby obertan to be confirmed as our first loan signing next week , and wil make his debut on the 12th of july agaisnt linfield. I have an inside source at the club , obviously can't name names , but he has told me this exciting news!

This is nonsense. Rangers do not play Linfield on the 12th of July. It is the 16th. If you made this part of the rumour up, what else did you make up?

grow up he was 4 days out

Your inside ource is he drugs tested very often

06 Jun 2011 20:16:15
I read from an actual newspaper that Bartley is surplus to requirements at Arsenal, I don't understand Arsene Wenger now. He signed people like Squillaci for his defence. Kyle Bartley is big and solid and I think he's the kind of guy I could see being an England international if he keeps up his progress. Would have him back at the Gers in a heart-beat and if that was ona pernament basis a young man with that much potential would be some signing.

06 Jun 2011 19:59:40
It is fact that danny wilson wants to go out on loan from liverpool to the championship in england.Dalglish has told him he is going nowhere.

BTW LENNON WILL BE REPLACED BY MARK HUGHES, WOULD RATHER HE STAYED AS HE AND HIS PLAYERS ARE GUARANTEED TO BOTTLE EVERY BIG GAME.

COISTY TO BRING HOME 4 IN A ROW

FOLLOW FOLLOW

06 Jun 2011 18:56:18
Rangers in for Danny Wilson and Kyle Bartley not fact but not far off seeing Coisty has said as much about the Bartley side anyways
A lot about Frings and tbh we have almost as good if not better in the squad and the youth players are begining to emmerge now so maybe not him.
Goodwillie is a Rangers fan and yeah he would probs love to play for them BUT he attracts trouble woth his off eild aticts and i don't think Ally McCoist or Craig Whyte would take the chence unless the price is right to buy him
McGregor will STAY! he has said he wants a new long term deal so will be in his 30's by the time it ends atleast!
Rangers should be trying to buy in younger players and invest in them and hopefully be able to make profit to slowly and steadily improve the squad so we don't get carried away!
The Kenny Miller issue is not even worth the time to mention but i will . . He left after a couple good seasons back at Ibrox however he hasnt really done much in big european games for club or country recently ( in 5 seasons) he has scored a few but not as many as he could/ should of. people can say all they want about it wasnt his choice to leave in january but he still had to agree a contract etc and could of said no but he got greedy!

06 Jun 2011 19:43:42
Danny Wilson was at Ibrox today! ! i am happy and annoyed about this, we gave him his chance . he left. now as expected hes struggling and oh look lvpool want to loan him back, what sort of club are we, if lads like this leave then great best of luck but they shudent be allowed to swan back any time they please! ! there are plenty of other center halfs we can get let danny plod away and live with his decision!

Kenny MIller DEF not coming back
Weir getting offered a new deal but his family live down in england so i think he may not accept! !
Goodwillie waiting untill court case completed. .peter houstan basically said it in an interview yesterday.
Hemed has NOT signed so would ppl stop posting made up nonsence, if we want him we better move 3 seria A clubs want him and a couple of EPL clubs
Ally is in south america right now so u'll find there will be no signings earliest wednesday! !

Hope i helped! !

Just because people are seen in Glasgow doesn't mean they are signing. My Grandad was in WHsmith in glasgow airport today. Will he be signing??

06 Jun 2011 18:27:31

06 Jun 2011 17:51:17
Nothing on sky about miller going to Swansea. Ally concentrating on Centre half first, Then hopefully get Miller back and Goodwille after court case

06 Jun 2011 17:44:38
Skysports transfer centre has stated that Kenny Miller could be on his way to Swansea. This should put to bed the rumour hes coming back to Gers - don't know why anyone wants him back - he ditched us in our hour of need


Did you happen to see miller's interview where he advised he was pretty much forced out the door at ibrox for the money? When he left we had no guarantee on a buyer and Lloyds who were controlling rangers decided to cash in! The guy didn't ditch us, he was pushed out, the same way Alan Hutton was when he wanted to stay with us and rejected spurs originally only to "change his mind" an hour later!

I truly don't think some of you people realise how seriously close to losing our club we were!

ofcourse we all do just not everyone of us believes every word kenny miller says - playing victim he had the chance of a contract on the same money if he was that desperate to stay he could've stayed and taken that or waited til the summer to see what happened with the whyte situation. kenny miller was not forced out of rangers!

06 Jun 2011 17:40:11
This is coming from a friend who is a football agent, and has a couple of players at Ibrox:

Cagliari and Bologna's interest in Hemed is only going to speed up his move to Rangers, as McCoist rates him and wants to get him signed asap. As for Cribari, Rangers have upped their offer in a bid to lure him to Ibrox, but he has apparently stated that he will reject all offers in order to move back home to Brazil. He has heard nothing specific about Granqvist, although he knows a scout was recently sent to Northen Europe/ Scandinavia, but this could have been for Bedoya who we were also linked with. Also says Danny Wilson is all but certain to return on loan after Rangers agree how much of his £20k p/ w wages they will pay. Other names that he has been hearing in and around Ibrox are Cardiff's English Duo Mark Hudson and Peter Whittingham who have apparently grew tired of Championship football and want to prove themselves on a bigger stage. Although they are apparently waiting on who is appointed Cardiff's new manager and what his plan is. The fee's for this duo are believed to be around £1-1.2M for Hudson and £2.5-3+M for Whittingham.

Regarding to those leaving Ibrox, Bougherra still has his heart set on a move, but he has heard nothing of him sending a recorded delivery letter to the club saying he is quitting. Weir may stay, but on a player/ coach deal and will be used sparingly, and it also depends on his family's, who still live in Liverpool, decision, as Everton have also offered him a coaching role. Diouf, Weiss and Healy will not be returing, but there is a possibilty of Bartley returning on a 1 year deal, it is unknown if it is a loan or permanent. Fleck will be asked to go out on loan to a Championship side in order to get him a run of first team games, but as of this moment, no one down there is interested in him.

06 Jun 2011 17:33:48
why do none of my posts get approved, i didn't use offensive language and i'm not putting up garbage, frings does want to join us for a year and mccoist does want him

{Ed010's Note -thank you for your post but I can assure you it is nothing personal because you haven't supplied a name or email address on your post and so you are unknown to me.

There are other reasons why posts don't get uploaded and the most common reason, is when there are multiple postings on the same subject and providing the same information or views. I have to make a decision when this happens and the site moderator's instructions are quite clear, the best posts containing the most concise information are to be used. I am sure that you will agree that there is nothing worse than reading the same information on different threads, time after time after time.

I hope that this answers your point and why your posts may not appear but please don't feel disillusioned and keep your posts coming. Cheers Ed10

06 Jun 2011 17:27:56
torsten frings has clearly shown interest in a move to ibrox and i highly doubt mccoist would turn down a player with his experience on a free transfer

06 Jun 2011 16:23:17
Question ed / has the charges against David goodwillie been droped


{Ed010's Note - Sorry but I have no idea.

06 Jun 2011 16:19:01
Heard of a friend that played with Rangers Youth Team that Rangers are looking at a young Turkish player called Sercan Yildirim heard anything ed.

{Ed010's Note -Heard nothing but this name appeared on another rumours board but I cannot remember which club it was. I do know that he plays for Bursaspor and was a £5m target for Locomotive Moscow around the turn of the year but he failed his medical....knee problems.

06 Jun 2011 16:01:20
a midfeild of Ferguson Frings Guttuso would b like the USA invading the vatican so swift and organised that no scottish team could handle. .just my thoughts i know alot would disagree cos they are all getting on a bit but look at WEIR he is still going at 41. .

Planet and which one are you on spring to mind

06 Jun 2011 14:29:48
So ED do you think we play an attractive style of football under McCoist?? I personally don't care as long as we win but when you see how we played towards the end of the season there it whets your appetite a bit.

Billyboy1!

{Ed010's Note -Billyboy, interesting question and observation and the answer to it is going to be based on the quality of player that Ally brings in. I don't know about you but there were times last season when we looked anything but champions. Ally needs to bring at least two quality midfield players and depending on who they are, will determine how expansive our football will be.

I agree ED at times our midfield was non exsistent and you just couldn't imagine us winning the league. We need someone who can pass a ball and is comfortable in possesion. There is too much onus on Steven Davis who is clearly a class act but he can't do it all on his own.

Billyboy1!

Have to disagree ed . . there were times thro the season we didn't play well but we still picked up the points which to me IS the sign of champions. . I hate this whole attractive playing thing (well the arguement). . . since wen did football become purely attacking ?! as a centre half i luv watching well organised defences i like to watch the players read games the way i cant. I understand that most folk oly really like the attacking side of the game but if that was what football was about there would be no defenders on the pitch. . Playing expansive football is IMO and most managers comes 2nd to an oragnised defence. . It is impossible to lose a game if u don't concede however can still lose a game where u score 2/3 goals. for me a result comes before a performance in ANY game. Ask any player (even at junior level like myself) what they take more pride in . . a win or a good performance . . to quote my gaffer . . . "posers like performances, winners like wins and the junior league is too ugly for posers".

Try not to take it outta context obv i would love to see my team have 90 possesion, 40 shots on target etc but these are not the stats that matter really.

06 Jun 2011 15:25:49
IM MATES WITH DANNY WILSON AND IF HE GOES ANYWHERE IT WILL BE BIRMINGHAM OR PORTSMOUTH ON LOAN HE HAS NO DESIRE TO RETURN TO THE SPL AT ALL HE IS HAPPY AS IS HIS GF WHERE THEY ARE STOP POSTING NONSENSE PLEASE.

Considering the fact its in the papers no one is makeing it up just posting wot they have heard

06 Jun 2011 15:10:08
Would be great to have Gio Dos Santos on our team, what are the odds of him signing? I know theres been no rumours as of such but i'm always hopeful, doesn't seem that he will be getting football at Spurs and he's still got potential

06 Jun 2011 14:54:57
I realise that its a romour page but lies are annoy stop post that sky sports say this bbc said that when its clearley not true your not going to get and applause for it true of not so top making stuff up.
rant over thank you for listening

06 Jun 2011 12:40:14
Who would we rather have
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
vote agree for Frings and disagree for guttuso.

How about none of them?? as they are both past it. We need younger more attack minded midfielders. Agree if you agree with my post and obviously the opposite if you don't.

Billyboy1!

Two old boys , no thanks . we have ness and hutton .

Gattuso would be red carded every 2nd game. too hot headed , i loved him when 1st here , but no porrini or amo to calm him down.

Rangers are being heavily linked with Birmingham city Goalkeeper Ben Foster in a swap deal plus 5 mill from them for Allan Mcgregor. I heard this as my mate is a taxi driver , and Ben Foster has been dropped off at Murray Park to under go a medical and finalise the deal.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST GUYS

Bougherra not using the 'webster ruling'

skysports.com/story/0, 19528, 12876_6967971, 00.html

Add www. obviously.

looks like we should get a decent fee for Bougherra then. approx £3m (personally think we'll get £2/2.5 for a player with one year left)

Does anyone have the links to the stories banding about regarding Wilson coming back on loan. As far as I was led to believe Dalgliesh rates him highly, and was the main man behind the transfer in the first place, so can't see why they'd let him go on loan since he played a number of games last season

06 Jun 2011 12:36:33
I believe we have been conned by the new owner, there will be no major signings at all and only a couple of loan signings at the most. Mr Whyte is out of his depth and instructed Ally to get bargain basement players, our days of dominance is gone, hard times ahead.

Re: aye ok, don't let the door hit u on the way out . . . a bit more respect for your champions son !

Cant understand a bear posting this nonsense. heres the thing on ally mccoist im pretty sure he has had a good apprenticeship under walter. but i do think he will have his own ideas as for the board there is a lot going on and fans have wait for a statment. as for transfers put it in to context average epl player 8-10 million if rumour are correct we will have 10-15 million total so we have to be realistic we were very lucky when souness talked all those stars to join us but would they have come if english clubs hadnt been banned from europe we can't go down the road of spending monies we havnt got. the clubs got to find more ways of generating money to spend but as fans we have to stop the whinging and complaining and give the new owner time to get his people in place big rab by the way

Ibrox bound? Danny Wilson could make a loan return to Rangers

SCOTLAND international Danny Wilson could make a shock return to Rangers just a year after his £5million transfer to Liverpool, the Daily Record reports.

Kenny Dalglish belives Wilson has a long-term future at Anfield, the paper claims, but believes the 19-year-old defender would benefit from greater match practice after a frustrating first season in England.

Rangers will require defensive options due to the likely exit of Madjid Bougherra and uncertainty over the future of David Weir.

05 Jun 2011 23:33:28
Hi ed. Do you have any rangers transfer news?

{Ed010's Note -Good morning. The latest rumours are on the main page but nothing official regarding any transfers. Cheers Ed10

06 Jun 2011 10:54:09
I've read we might get Wilson back on loan, sorry, don't want him. He made the biggest mistake of his young career so far by deciding to join Liverpool. I said at the time he shouldn't sign for them or anyone else for at least 3 years, he was still learning his trade at Rangers & in any case, we couldn't have Wilson & Bartley as our 2 cb's, not enough experience.
On another note, i would go for Ricardo Gardner (Bolton) for left back, he's quick, strong & would be a good attacking option from the back.

What is up with papac?

There's nothing wrong with Papac but we should find another left back, who incidently is quicker.

I think Wilson was kindly asked to move on by people above Smith and McCoist in regards to the transfer fee he commanded, £5m for 19 year old was good business. I would have him back in an instant, you can't hold a desicion like that against the boy

Rikkisixx

You simply cannot blame wilson for moving, its so hypocritical ! how many players do we as the old firm poach of lesser teams in scotland? how often do u see one of these players then go on a really make it ? how many careers do u think the old firm have held up by taking on players who never break thro but would have at a lesser team?
swings and roundabouts mate. . I personally would gladly take the boy back he cantered the SPL the first time it would be fair to assume that he would do so again.

Wilson is not experienced enough, quick enough or strong enough, enough said.

06 Jun 2011 10:15:52
Out-of-contract Werder Bremen and ex-Germany midfielder Torsten Frings was on McCoist s wanted list, but he has now decided against making a move for the 34-year-old.

Bougherra not doing a webster.
If I leave in the summer I want everything to be clean with Rangers, " he told the Scottish Sun.

The club must be happy with any transfer. I ve been at Rangers for three years and don t want to cause any trouble.

The last three years has been fantastic but maybe now is the time to move on.

Bull. I've just had a look about at the SPL page on www.skysports.co.uk before I came on here and theres nothing about that.

If weir and bougy do leave we havnt got any cb's way first team football we need at least 3 a winger someone in the middle to help davis and hope to make edu play better and a forward a expect 5 or 6 new players

06 Jun 2011 00:18:50
the Barry Robsen rumour is the worst of the day ther sould be a s**test rumour of the day started cos we got a winner here :)

05 Jun 2011 23:37:09
I don't know if Novo wanted to b sold i don't think he did the guy loved his time at rangers. . clearly a return for him wouldent b the worst guy to have on the sidelines of a team look at him and Prso what a team they banged goals in for a laugh maybe Jelivic could do the same with Novo

Didnt he always say that he wanted to finish his career back in spain though?! that said i don't think he saw the time when he left as the end of his career.

Hi there, was wondering if anyone can confirm, or knows anything about the Facilities within Ibrox being upgraded this close season? Such as the toilets and cattering stalls. Im sure i heard talk of this happening quite some time back via some daily newspapers, But talk seems to have fizzled out. Personally think it would be money well spent, and long overdue. And also, was watching some videos of Andreas Granqvist, Looks like a direct replacement for Bougey, very impressed. But has anyone got, or know of a concrete source? Cheers
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

craig whyte was said to be disgusted with the lack of investment in ibrox itself ie: toilet's kitchen's ect and said he would make it one of his priorities to upgrade them asap
