Think maybe the problem is that a few lads
find the Jersey a wee bit too heavy once here, but this only becomes apparent when they are here, and yes a core of players you have came through the ranks would be ideal,
But young players will blow hot and cold, and when you get people saying the manager had 45 minutes to save his job at half time of 3rd or 4th game of season because it's nil, nil you can see why there could be a reluctance to play youngsters.

06 Sep 2020 23:10:29
Should be looking to give at least one of them a chance each season.

07 Sep 2020 01:19:53
50K at home, global following, gazza, laudrup, mccoist . legends mmm . fair weight!

07 Sep 2020 02:26:17
55 or bleed youngsters u can't have it either way. If we blow teams away in the first half then bring the youth in but 55 and 150 years anniversary comes before youngsters.

07 Sep 2020 06:14:56
Empty stadium, a chance to bed in maybe.

07 Sep 2020 07:14:34
Empty stadiums should in theory help us. If not winning in league b4 70 mins atmosphere at ibrox can get toxic.

07 Sep 2020 07:39:04
Other than Paterson which youngsters are ready and available for consideration for first team?

07 Sep 2020 07:52:58
I know that if I had been good enough to play for Rangers in my younger days, I would've loved and lapped up playing to full houses, the adrenalin alone would raise your game, so I don't go along with this weight of the shirt, it should be a privilege and great honour to wear the jersey.

07 Sep 2020 10:35:18
I remember the 100,000 plus atmosphere at Ibrox especially the games v the Celtic, my da was at the disaster but got out early.
Who would have thought half that attendance would still have made the best atmosphere in British.
football (bar none) . I used to go to sleep running out the tunnel with the deafening noise of the crowd chanting my name.
It's sad to see an empty Ibrox but it is what it is and hopefully we will be back soon and following the most famous to a well deserved league title. let's do it.

07 Sep 2020 13:00:55
Nice post Brexit Jam, recall those days well when crowds of 100,000 at Ibrox. Much more comfortable experience now and hopefully we will all be allowed back soon when safe.

07 Sep 2020 19:41:43
I had a union Jack crash helmet bankie. Hampden was good aswell the noise in the covered Rangers end was special.

06 Sep 2020 18:34:52
We should be taken a chance on young Scottish players, we all know they won't all be a success but some will, too late when they go south and end up with big price tags and huge wages, seems a reluctants on here to beleave anyone playing in Scotland could be good enough.

06 Sep 2020 19:07:43
100% BB a lot of people turn there nose up and young players in other teams for some reason.

06 Sep 2020 19:39:24
I agree to an extent border . They must be good enough otherwise we can stall their development, guys like the doc, Hastie recently etc. We would be better developing our own.

06 Sep 2020 23:11:57
Yes, unfortunately a lot of the ones mentioned on here are absolutely pants.

07 Sep 2020 07:18:26
All good shouting about give youngsters a chance, at this moment in time they aren't good enough simples. We're here for 55 not to give more poor youngsters the chance, they get there chance to prove themselves in the u21 or out in loan.

07 Sep 2020 07:57:14
You just need to look at the balls shown by Alex Ferguson at Manchester United when he made his name down there by taking a huge gamble of faith by fielding the Beckham's, Scholes, Butt's etc back in those days, it didn't faze these young players.

07 Sep 2020 09:04:59
The old saying goes, 'if he is good enough, he is old enough'. Denis Law proved that theory!

07 Sep 2020 11:08:39
Doiger. Derek Johnstone 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.

06 Sep 2020 16:53:01
Reading earlier posts saying Patrick Roberts not good enough for us, jeez ohh guys get the blue tinted specs off he'd play on our right wing every week. don't think it will happen and I'd rather we got Olsen but wouldn't be disappointed with Roberts he's definite upgrade on ojo or candeias.

06 Sep 2020 17:21:06
Of course he would play every week kingwalter. Some people's biased opinion's are just bellter's👍.

06 Sep 2020 17:23:32
There is absolutely no way Patrick John Joseph Roberts is even being considered Walter. Even the Scottish media won’t entertain that. Why do you think he would walk in the team? Lol

He wasn’t even good for them, his stats are crap and i'd start Hagi.

Baffles me some of these posts lol.

06 Sep 2020 17:36:56
I don't know if he's being considered or not just responded to comments! But I'd say he'd walk in as rw is a problem position for us for several years and Roberts undoubtedly has ability to be an upgrade at rw. like I say prefer Olson but Roberts better at rw than we had for few years.

06 Sep 2020 17:45:04
Gecko why did you feel the need to use Roberts full name? 🤔.

06 Sep 2020 18:20:45
You've made your point gecko😂😂👍.

06 Sep 2020 18:21:18
It’s never going to happen it’s the most pointless rumour I have ever heard on here and he was good years ago he is not anymore.

06 Sep 2020 20:15:42
What Roberts are you talking about Kingwalter 🤔
The one that looked good in Brendan's all conquering Celtic 3 years ago?
Or the Roberts that helped Girona get relegated? Or get recalled by City because he couldn't get a game in a poor Norwich side? Or hardly played for Middlesboro in the championship? He's been terrible for the last 2 years but you think he'd do a job for Rangers?
Totally delusional is putting it politely. 😂😂😂😂.

07 Sep 2020 09:27:47
Roberts is absolute p****.

06 Sep 2020 15:53:26
This is the week we will see Alfredo Morelos leave our club with his goals a distant memory, especially the ones against celtic -Cost 1 million and change and will be sold for 20 million plus add ons including sell ons if he actually stops his petulance with his new club Hopefully we have a replacement that will give the fans as much enjoyment on a circus perspective and a striker who will actually score against our rivals--good luck to the lad and i'm sure we will all be watching his new exploits sorry you missed out on #55 Alfie--should have stuck around for one more season .

06 Sep 2020 16:56:22
If anyone comes back to buy him I'd say we would accept 15 million in a heart beat.

06 Sep 2020 16:56:54
Just another guess mate, nobody knows whether he will or won’t be here in 2 weeks, and kinda silly saying his goals against Celtic are a distant memory is it not, the rest is just the same things posted again and again and again me thinks you are having a very boring day to simply post such bunkum.

06 Sep 2020 18:21:29
Ill remind you next week thumbsucker --hes a goner accept and gone with zero goals in an old firm derby.

06 Sep 2020 20:34:31
Deecee, we did ok in the old firm games without Morelos goals. Take away his 30 goals in other games and we would have been out of Europe very early and 5th in the league.

06 Sep 2020 21:16:12
To all the Morelos haters remember the line you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

06 Sep 2020 21:39:08
Wouldn't say people hate. just see the bigger picture.

06 Sep 2020 23:01:58
Exactly, he doesn't score against rivals or at all after January. Would rather take a dive than show composure, an endless list really. Rangers need better, it's undeniable that he isn't good enough.

06 Sep 2020 23:22:42
Why do people always use the word haters.

08 Sep 2020 01:39:37
First time poster and I'll get it out the way, I'm a Celtic fan. Expect usual comments but not interested in religion, political ect of the game and will show respect in comments and replys if shower back.

My honest thoughts on Morelos was around 20m but cause of attitude and unrest I think clubs will come in near end of window and try to get him for around 13m but with a lot of add-on to rise to 17m with sell on clause.

06 Sep 2020 11:25:45
Morning Bears. I am saddened by the demise of the Scotland national team over the last two or three decades. Only Robertson is international class in my opinion and McGinn is OK. Tierney is overrated and Jack performed alright the other night. How Forrest, McGregor and Christie get into the national team I don't know, Dykes too. Gone are the days when you could reel off names like Hansen, Dalglish, Souness, Bremner, Jordan, McQueen, Johnson, Law. the list goes on. Clarke is a useless manager at this level. Sadder thing is that there are no true Scottish international class players at Rangers just now other than Alan McGregor.

06 Sep 2020 12:20:15
I watched the Jim Baxter documentary on Alba the other night. For sheer entertainment it must have been great to watch players like Baxter, Grieg and Willie Henderson playing at their peak. Baxter and Henderson even being selected for a Best of the World team for Stanley Matthew's testimonial.

06 Sep 2020 12:26:46
I am a big Scotland fan so I will add my tuppence worth with an honest opinion.
Roberston I agree about. I also think Tierney is very good and should also be in the team. Forrest McGregor and Christie are also good players and key players for the current SPL champions so I don’t think you can argue much there. Maybe Jack ahead of Forrest but both completely different types of players.
Again I agree Clarke is useless who I think should never have been appointed. He has ZERO personality and I think you can see that in the way we play. Scotland now are a team that set up not to get pumped and will look to snatch something.
Even Allan McGregor I don’t think is international class, I’m starting to think McLauchlin could be our number 1. (Club and country) he’s excellent with the ball at his feet and there is no fuss and a calmness to his game.

Like a broken record but our grass roots is a shambles, with plastic pitches. I’m involved with junior football and (very limited) under 10s and 12s. The current coaching methods in my opinion are to technical for kids. I hear guys go on about shape and transition etc.

Whatever happened to letting boys “kick the baw about”? Even when I was younger that’s all I did, I also feel there is an argument for the PlayStation generation not getting out as much as when I was younger. That’s why we won’t ever get back to producing players like you mentioned on your post.

06 Sep 2020 13:30:19
I tend to agree with Blackthorn. As much as i hate to say it, we should be playing the Celtic boys. I said a few years ago when they were wiping the floor with teams that we should be playing them all. OK atm that can be argued now. Personally I think Jack and McGregor will be our holding CMs, n mcginn in front of them. Him n Christie will share duties. Now I think KT is a good defender but we shouldn't be changing our shape to shoehorn players in. The big lad from Motherwell should be playing, Liam cooper as well. Why we dropped a CM into defence is beyond me. Our curre t club goalkeeper should be starting for Scotland.
We do have the players to win games and get us to a major tournament if they all perform to their true abilities.
For the record, i wanted Scott gemmel as manager, a young guy who's been doing the trick with the understand, fresh ideas etc.

06 Sep 2020 13:50:05
Doiger the fact you are saying KT is overrated shows your lack of knowledge of football it really does it’s embarrassing.

06 Sep 2020 13:53:53
Blackthorn I agree with you 100% about kids football and it was the reason I stopped coaching because of arguments with 2 other coaches all he banged on about was shape even when the played 7s I left in the 1st year of 11s as I was banging my head against a brick wall.

Also pro youth is a complete joke in this country as when the kids get there the majority think they have already made it.

Big changes need to happen at grass roots but I can’t see it happening.

06 Sep 2020 14:31:18
KJA9

We do shape training at junior level because most of the boys have experience of the game and understand the concept of retaining positions, and to a degree it works.

But kids. it’s ridiculous, the should be focusing on technique (passing, shooting etc) . An old coach once said to me “the ball is round because it needs to be passed around”. The best advice I ever received.

You talk about pro youth and how they think they have made it, the same can be said for some of the under 10s coaches. It’s actually embarrassing listening to it sometimes.

06 Sep 2020 14:44:26
Kj, I actually agree with Doiger. Tierney has been constantly ripped a mew one in European games in the past. Do you think he is worth 25m? Don't get me wrong he is a good player and should be in the Scotland team no problem, but is he any better than Barasic (a regular starter for Croatia)? I don't see it. Only an opinion same as Doiger. Take from it what you will guys.

06 Sep 2020 15:29:49
Kja9. This is a debate, exchanging views. What is embarrassing is your personal remark. Tierney is nothing special, couldn't lace the boots of Caldow or the late great Sandy Jardine. Grow up and debate sensibly or return to the dark side!

06 Sep 2020 15:37:07
Kri55

Am not a Scotland fan. I don’t bother with internationals. Breaks out momentum to duck in the league. Just want to say Scott gemmil
Would give you the same product. He has been in and around the state for years onvs you will know this but they are all told to coach the same narrative stemming from
The Ada programme at the schools. My son had brian McLaughlin in holyriod. He went to school with Stephen Kelly mayo and the likes. He moved on to the 21s I think. James Grady I think done a bit after that. Not sure who does the holyrood school now. My point is you could bring in say ancelloti. The Everton coach. But it would be the same result. All the sfa coaches coach the same ethos mate. I’ve seen it personally.

06 Sep 2020 15:39:19
Doiger KT is a great left back and the fact you don’t see it is embarrassing.

Also your dark side remark is embarrassing also just because I rate an ex Celtic player I think you and seeker need to grow up and take the blue tinted specs off.

06 Sep 2020 15:41:13
BB

I agree with you about coaches it was one of the reasons I left everyone lives winning but at the young age the boys weren’t enjoying playing as it was win at all costs at that age.

Kids should always want to win as I do as well but not if they aren’t going to enjoy it.

06 Sep 2020 15:57:11
Kja9. Would like to add just for the record. There’s a guy called Neil Macintosh. He’s one of the head honchos at the sfa programme. There’s someone above him
Can’t mind his name and obviously who ever has the big chair. Was brian mcclair I think who took over last I looked. Same job as the Dutch guy. You should look into that.
It’s all these people that get told of the sfa how they want Scotland to play. I could telL you a few stories abt the programme that surprises me. Not in a good way.

06 Sep 2020 15:58:25
Doiger what a poor comparison barisic could not leave Caldow s or Jardine boots
Not one of that Scotland team are any good but they happen to be the best around.

06 Sep 2020 16:00:41
Blackthorn boy. 100% correct mate. The whole
System is bollocks. As per previous posts. It stems from the sfa with regards to pro youth and the Scotland team. Absolute waste of time and tbh I can’t see it changing.

06 Sep 2020 16:52:15
What's Barisic got to do with it, I was talking about Tierney. I'm the first to acknowledge great Celtic players, e. g. McNeill, Dalgish, McGrain, but Tierney is VERY ORDINARY INDEED and couldn't lace Sandy Jardine's boots! Read my posts properly.

06 Sep 2020 17:02:59
Don't think that's entirely true John25. Imo Scotland have some good players and one very good player (Robertson) . I'm just echoing Doiger's point when he says he thinks that Tierney is overrated. Obviously you think the same going by your last post. And nothing to do with blue tinted specs KJ, if Tierney had played with us I'd have said the same. Falls into the same bracket as Hutton for me - good player but nothing special.

06 Sep 2020 17:05:06
God. I need to read what I’m
Playing eh. Typos galore. obvs I mean sfa in general.

06 Sep 2020 17:06:49
Doiger barisic has everything to do with it. I’m not interested in Celtic players.

06 Sep 2020 17:21:08
Arsenal have paid a helluva lot of cash for someone you don’t rate guys, I don’t think they will worry too much.

06 Sep 2020 17:58:04
Tierney has played at rb for Celtic before. Scotland could have played tierney at rb and cooper at cb from what I seen. Seemed to me he played a team to keep players happy to get a cap but certainly not able to entertain ther correct positions. Mf and lb in CB. ? Crazy. Shot himself in the foot. Why don’t they just play the same formation for so many games and play his best players in ther proper positions. 🤷‍♂️.

06 Sep 2020 18:09:47
More fool them wee Tam. Just wait till they next play in Europe.

06 Sep 2020 06:35:48
Is there a way to sign up to Rangers tv without buying a season ticket like sky or bt etc pay monthly.

06 Sep 2020 07:16:54
Googling it gets you all info mate.

06 Sep 2020 08:28:18
Go onto the clubs website and everything you need to know will be on their.
