Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


07 Jan 2016 21:16:52
Surely AS will want as much for Windass and Crooks as possible and will let them go this month? The boys will be treated as lepers down there just for saying they are buzzing to be joining us. I'm sure they would still have given AS 100pc till the end of the season but looks like they'll be outcast now till summer. I hope we try our best to bring them now. These situations arise every January all over Europe with players signing pre contracts and its called good business, but we do it and get vilified for it.



08 Jan 2016 09:44:27
I can't believe the many headlines and newspaper columns about us signing 2 players from English 2nd division. I'd love to go back and see what the reaction was when celtic signed niall mcginn from Dungannon swifts and paddy mccourt from derry city.



07 Jan 2016 15:45:58
Do you think it would be worth making a move for Sam Nicholson of hearts. I think Warburton could really make him into a top player.



07 Jan 2016 16:31:40
I think that's a great shout Abomb1982, anytime I have saw Hearts this season he has been the stand out. wouldn't be cheap to buy though. ?



07 Jan 2016 20:13:24
Don't think hearts are going to be selling any players cheap.



07 Jan 2016 20:38:58
Do you actually think. we can afford anyone other than free. loans? god our directors are trying to get money out of Rangers First to keep us going.



07 Jan 2016 22:11:31
Read the club statement responding to that ally. Even if rf get the 75% they need the board won't be taking them up on the offer at this point and are seeking no further investment currently as they are covered until end of season. Also states they did not approach rf on the subject at any point but would be willing to work with them in the future. A bid has also been made and refused for Brentford dm. Money is there, not saying it's a lot, clearly it isn't, just saying it's not as much doom and gloom as you state every time I read a post of yours on here.



08 Jan 2016 08:49:44
Here, here spart7,far too many doom and gloom merchants on here, we're going in the right direction, I wish they would try and see the positives for a change, I'm for one very happy with the way were rebuilding and moving on.



07 Jan 2016 12:22:59
I wouldn't worry about what celtic fans are anybody else says about signing players from Arrington Stanley. Three of the best players in the spl rooney, mcginn and boyce 2 of them came from the irish league and rooney came from Oldham.



07 Jan 2016 13:51:03
They can't say nothing they've signed 3 duds from dundee utd 😂.



07 Jan 2016 14:11:31
And a dud from hibs 😂.



07 Jan 2016 14:44:43
I just can't forget it being the butt of a joke in an old advert. Can't remember what the advert was for. So much for the power of advertising.

Boy 1 - Why are you eating/drinking that?
Boy 2 - My dad said if I don't grow big and strong I'll end up playing for Accrington Stanley.
Boy 1 - Who are they?
Boy 2 - Exactly.



07 Jan 2016 15:07:37
Is that your post finished STYAB? Or do you have a point?



08 Jan 2016 09:46:43
The point is in the first sentence.



08 Jan 2016 13:39:08
Yeah, so it is.



{Ed001's Note - and the product was milk.}

07 Jan 2016 10:47:22
So we sign Matt Crooks, have we not had enough crooks recently .
I'll get my coat.



07 Jan 2016 10:34:28
So far our team for next season looks a little like this. (if Law and Shiels are kept on? )

Foderingham

Tavernier
Kiernan
Wilson
Wallace

Crooks
Halliday
Holt

McKay
Windass
Waghorn

Bench: Gostomski, Gasporotto, Law, Forrester, Shiels, Miller,

It is clear to me that we need (between now and start of next season) Another centre half to replace Ball. Cover at full back positions, an experienced holding mid and an out and out striker.

Thoughts?



07 Jan 2016 11:26:15
It's pointless to speculate what the team will look like next season. No one can say what the team will be like come 1st February let alone next season.



07 Jan 2016 11:32:11
Summer window as well to add 2 or 3, no need to worry.



07 Jan 2016 11:50:15
Not worried Coldo. Actually looking forward to see who we are going to bring in. Just curious to know of other people agree or feel more/less needed?

Biffo I know we don't know what/who's coming that's why a said looking a bit like that so far. Just to get people thinking.



07 Jan 2016 12:05:57
I think crooks will play centre back more, don't think shields will be here.



07 Jan 2016 12:20:49
Why is it pointless Biffa?
Its a forum, a banter page you know? People like to read other peoples opinions on stuff like this.



07 Jan 2016 12:52:01
I agree Cee but I can see him being deployed as DM with the potential of a loan signing from the EPL for cover @ CB with Halkett and Gasparotto being on the bench. at least for next season.



07 Jan 2016 14:15:30
An experienced CB and a strong CF is a must for SPL.



07 Jan 2016 15:29:06
Sounezz

Who knows what the team will be like come the start of next season. There are 2 transfer windows and players will come and go. Players will be brought in on loan and add to that the possibility of injuries. So that's why it's pointless to speculate. Thought it was pretty simple to work out?



07 Jan 2016 16:01:35
You know what Biffo you are right. None of us have a clue and enjoying ourselves discussing our team and possibilities is pointless!

Eds you better just shut this site down. It's all pointless!

I'm off to just sit and watch re-runs of Sportscene until next season! Bye.



08 Jan 2016 14:32:58
I also think Crooks will be utilised as a CB, the Stanley manager described him as a "Fish up a tree" when played in midfield last season but since his move to CB has become a player "worth well over £1m"



07 Jan 2016 10:17:21
I've got to laugh at all these celtic fans on all media outlets criticising rangers because of signing 2 players from accrington stanley, what they blatantly choose to forget is that they signed armstrong, mackay-sreven and ciftic from dundee utd and these players aren't anywhere near the standard of these players coming from the lower leagues of england, these players in these leagues would walk into most first teams in scotland, nothing any different from them signing from dundee utd to us signing from these clubs in fact the players we've signed are playing at a better standard, the magic hat v deila next season, bring it on! I honestly hope he's still they're manager to put it another way!



07 Jan 2016 11:29:32
Think your being a bit harsh on Armstrong think he is a really good player and would have certainly liked him at Rangers. It's impossible to tell how the 2 from AS will get on but fingers crossed they will do a job. As for Delia v Warburton next season unless Warburton is given some money to spend you can forget about challenging Celtic next season. No doubt they will be given a few quid and even bad managers can look better with money to spend.



07 Jan 2016 12:07:45
Don't know about that they have been spending money and bought a load of steve Wright.



07 Jan 2016 10:41:54
Jamie vardy came from fleetwood and gary hooper from Scunthorpe the celtic fans don't have a clue they can just stick to buying great £2m players from la liga like scepovic lol.



07 Jan 2016 09:24:51
With Crooks signing does this mean that the Hat thinks we currently have enough to see us over the line this year?



07 Jan 2016 06:32:44
Rangers manager mark warburton wants to reward his key players and tie them down to improved and longer term contracts with probably transfer fee clauses in them if another club comes to buy them, the 3 players are-jason holt (currently in contract until 2018) , andy halliday (currently in contract until 2017) , & barrie mckay (currently in contract until 2017) , warbs obviously rates these 3 very highly, I must admit they've been excellent especially for me jason holt what a bargain at 65k!



07 Jan 2016 08:54:38
Holt is the best of the players to come in imo. They're all are very good but wee Holt is brilliant. He's so attack minded and always on the move, running into wee pockets of space or darting into the box. He's always a danger for the opposition. It's good to see the Bears showing those players how highly they rate them. Wee Barry needs to do more for me. He needs to believe in himself a bit more and take the wing back on more regular, instead of the easier option of passing it back or inside. Haliday will be a key player for us in the future. He can play all over the park just about. Def mid, Att mid and both wing back positions. Players like that are great for the team when injuries come.



07 Jan 2016 10:01:10
Good post.



07 Jan 2016 10:05:06
Blue Bear Stevie, sit down for a minute because although we've had our many difference of opinions on here I find myself 200% in agreement with you mate! Jason holt imo also is the best of the warbs signings to date, he's a smashing wee player and at 65k is the bargain of the season, not much I can add to your post mate, well written!



07 Jan 2016 10:07:18
Blue bear, I have to agree, for me Holt has been head and shoulders above every other signing, the level of consistency and commitment not to mention the numerous vital goals this season put him ahead of all the new signings. 65K what an investment.



07 Jan 2016 11:36:46
I agree witch is testament to Holt when we have a right back with 11 and loads assists and a striker with more than 20 goals well done Holt a rangers and Scotland legend in the making.



07 Jan 2016 11:54:33
It just shows ya what kind of players that are around and right under our noses. They just need that break at a big club to showcase what they possess. He will be a player that will feature heavily for the Bears for years to come I think. We will win the league this year by 10+ points i think, and next year will be where we see what the boys are made of. If we get the defense tightened up and solid then we will do well in our fist year back. I would expect a top 4 finish and build on that. It will take us a few years but we will stop them getting 9 in a row. I have faith! The Celtic team and managements is a pile of rubbish anawl. They've been buying up average players and have sold all their better ones on. We will not need to break the bank to get close to them. We will buy better as our management is light-years ahead of theirs. Peter Lawel does their player recruitment, that's why Lennon done a runner. Oh I canny wait to win the league so's we can wipe the smug smile off that crook Lawels face.
