Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


09 Aug 2019 22:24:36
What a performance from every player on the park. Our defence was solid tonight. Goldson and Katic are building some partnerships.

Think Jack not Ryan had thrown some beans down and our team had entered the land of the giants lol.



09 Aug 2019 22:22:52
great team performance, so the formation and tactical plan would it work in SPL against the defend or die set ups? 👊.



10 Aug 2019 02:54:00
The team will be changing constantly over the next few weeks/ months with Europe etc, you can see how Gerrard sets up and how he wants us playing, the key will be keeping up with consistency of performance as the team rotates.



09 Aug 2019 21:51:36
The way I see it, we're bringing in young, raw talented pros who, with the proper management will, A. Give us a title winning team, B give us a run in European competition and C Bring in serious transfer money when the big money comes calling. The future is bright and the bluebells are blue.



09 Aug 2019 21:39:49
Gerrard said he and the team need ibrox to be rocking on sunday, challenge accepted👍.



09 Aug 2019 21:34:20
Whoops!

So many of our players not good enough to wear the jersey, eh Coldo?

Where are you naysayers - any positive comments?

Thought Arfield was poor but excellent team performance.

Tav only gets better

Alf is on happy pills!



09 Aug 2019 22:42:11
When have I slated the club and manager?

I said kamara and flanagan should be in the team. Justified.

I said katic is best CB. Justified.

I said jones should play instead of ojo. Justified.

I said aribo has to move the ball quicker, he did and was class.

Morelos was class and seems to have matured. I have always said he is a great goal scorer and that I don't hate him. I think we play better with defoe.

If you are going to call me out on what I have said Dk then get your facts right.

One game doesn't hide the fact that we have been poor the last few weeks so wind your neck in. 👍.



09 Aug 2019 21:22:23
I thought everyone was class, big katic wow, kamara aribo jack superb. Flanagan should play left back, what a performance. Jones morelos outstanding. We went up a level last night. I would have taken a draw back to ibrox, thought it would have been a tough game. We blew them away. That was a marker👍.



10 Aug 2019 00:09:31
Kamara was sloppy. Gave possession away a lot and positioning was suspect. Rest of the team played well though.



09 Aug 2019 20:53:28
Rangers fans praised for our behaviour by Danish police and today the Daily Record run the Headline Rangers charged the most by police Scotland for policing. I used to laugh at folk going on about the papers out to get us but I am starting to believe it myself now. Anything positive about our club is quickly followed by the black cloud that is the Scottish media. Who shall seperate us?



09 Aug 2019 22:37:45
agree buddy. look at bbc rangers win 2-4 away from home in europe and not on bbc main football page you have to select rangers to see story yet they have a story on football page about netball. seriously lol.



09 Aug 2019 20:39:57
The dr at it again. Rangwrs billed the most for policing. And how many clubs have a subway outside there stadium. None. So we get extra coppers. Numb skulls!



09 Aug 2019 20:22:03
Not a rumour just wondering if anyone knows when the red 3rd strip goes on sale? Cheers in advance.



09 Aug 2019 22:34:31
Hopefully never it’s god awful just looks like a sheep strip.



09 Aug 2019 19:48:16
We should test Aberdeen that boy Cosgrove could be our 3rd choice striker he offers something different obviously he wouldn't be a starter but would be decent to bring off the bench Rangers could probably lure him in just by Ibrox and fans working for Gerrard and fighting for top spot plus it weakens Aberdeen more .



09 Aug 2019 20:35:12
I'd certainly keep an eye on him Jim as he had a decent season last year and started this season ok. Only 22 and a big unit but would like to see how he does this season or at least until xmas.
We do need a big hitman up front for when the majority of the teams pack their defences, not sure why SG hasn't bought or loaned one yet.



09 Aug 2019 22:38:38
would love a punt on him but can't see them parting with him for the money we would offer. been saying i'd like a big bully cf to complete the rangers jigsaw for a while now.



09 Aug 2019 18:38:01
High praise for the Rangers away support from the local Danish Police last night.
So can we expect a piece in the Sun from the banker Leckie? Or another 4 man panel set up on BBC Scotland to analyse this GOOD behaviour?
Or when it comes to Rangers do they only report on all things bad and ugly?
Impartiality is all we ask for from a public funded organisation like the BBC.
The Sun can go **** itself with the blunt end of a rag man's trumpet!



09 Aug 2019 19:47:59
I was critical of some of our support at Killie but well done to the fans last night.



09 Aug 2019 21:55:35
You should read the Herald online. You'd think we were up against all game against the Danes and were lucky to scrape a win. F****** Scottish media! Glad I live in England in the sense that I buy English versions of the newspapers and don't have to read that crap! 4-0 against the other dark side on Sunday, all scored by Morelos.



09 Aug 2019 22:33:33
The wee neds can't afford plane tickets :)



Biggest problem with the Transfer Window

{Ed's Note - Shappy has posted a new article entitled, Biggest problem with the Transfer Window



09 Aug 2019 18:21:58
For everyone that is missing Kent (cough Coldo), close your eyes and listen to Barker talking. Sounds just like him😂 he's not coming back lads so this might soften the blow (cough Coldo👍)
P. S your boy Morelos was stinking last night as usual 😉.



09 Aug 2019 18:31:35
Ur blind mate he scored and set 2 up you



09 Aug 2019 19:14:28
I have gave up being sarcastic on here mate. Even winky faces is not enough for some folk to get the picture lol.



09 Aug 2019 20:11:37
Brilliant, I thought the winky face would give it away but obviously not C of Ibrox.



09 Aug 2019 20:50:37
Oblivious. A 4 year old could've pegged that as sarcasm 😂😂.



09 Aug 2019 22:49:17
100% agree mjg1067😂😂👍.



09 Aug 2019 18:04:31
Have a listen to Brandon Barkers interview. I think Rangers have pulled a master stroke by getting Kent to play on the QT with a Brandon Barker mask. They've even got the Leigh Griffiths hairstyle, down to a tee. BTY Is that a look these days, tell you what if it is i'm signing up for that Mars thing.

BB to come on and score the winner against Hibs. and back in the room.



09 Aug 2019 17:23:29
Great result but all quiet from the boo boys?

Where's Coldo?

Ha.



09 Aug 2019 18:58:17
DK19 in fairness coldo is not one off the boo boys. He stands up and states he clearly prefers Defoe to Morelos.
He is entitled to have his opinion.
One day he may change based on alfredo delivering more, and improved disc.
I see a better all round player and hopefully some improvement in behaviour, but it needs to last a season.



09 Aug 2019 20:17:51
Come on John, stop defending those guy who constantly criticise our players, club and manager.

You defended IOM but it’s clear that he has an odd agenda.



09 Aug 2019 20:39:18
If coldo prefers defoe over morelos then there's no problem with that. We all have different opinions and our favourite players we think should be playing week in week out, in the rangers team. Although i rate morelos highly, minus the huffy, bad tempered antics, i thought we played better football towards the back end of last season with defoe up top, when morelos was suspended, after being sent off against celtic. So i for one definitely see where coldo is coming from. We're all bears together on here and that's what we all have in common bears!



09 Aug 2019 20:52:31
Your a changed man coops/ sg loyal. Calm and the voice of reason now, keep it up chief 👍😂.



09 Aug 2019 21:41:08
Here Here Coop👍🇬🇧.



09 Aug 2019 22:31:15
It was a great result and much more like it, to a man we were class. Doesn't hide the fact that we were rank against progres or killie. Does it DK?



09 Aug 2019 22:13:15
Dk 19 it’s not defending people it’s respecting their right to an opinion same as u and I.



09 Aug 2019 17:17:54
I said after the Killie game, that we would probably be better suited to the game against Mijtelland.
Bigger pitch - team coming at us - more space (Goldson/ Katic clearing their lines instead of trying to play football) Unfortunately MOST of the games in Scotland are going to be like the Kilmarnock one. We will be locked in the other teams half looking at two rows of 4 defenders - - Brandon Barker et al will not have the room or space to use their speed and create room for EL BUFF to do some damage.
Lets hope SG and co have a cunning plan to break these teams down quickly.



09 Aug 2019 15:40:11
Sell barisic. Buy kent 👌🏻.



09 Aug 2019 15:54:36
As much as i also wanted ryan kent,
we do really need to move on now fellow bears. Kent ain't coming back,
so let's get right behind the team and players we do have at rangers. I really do think we'll have a really good season this season.



09 Aug 2019 14:14:15
Would like to see another proven goal scorer coming into the squad. Need cover if Morelos and Defoe gets banned/ injured. Still hearing rumours about Sturridge.



09 Aug 2019 15:49:04
Stewart csn b used as 3rd striker. Really still need to ship a few bodies out yet.



09 Aug 2019 19:43:08
Can Barker not play through middle. I know he’s a winger but sure he played through middle a few times for Hibs.



09 Aug 2019 10:45:55
Not going to lie, lastnight after the first half an hour I was fearing the worst, they're a good, big, tactical unit who were moving the ball around very nicely, the character and strength we showed reminded me of the old days and I was absolutely buzzing, I see our club rising and it's a feeling that can't be beat! For me Alfredo was the man if the match, he had some game, they all did but he stood out for me, katic close second, bring on the return leg, can't wait 🔴⚪🔵.



09 Aug 2019 11:19:16
To be honest it was hard to pick out a standout performance as the whole team played really well. But Alfie with a goal and 2 assists probably just about man of the match. Jack was superb as well though and allowed us to play, because he was everywhere, winning the ball back and distributing it well.



09 Aug 2019 12:32:24
We were immense some great performances. Morelos imo best performance since he joined us 2 magnificent assists a great goal and a continuous thorn to their defence, why was he carded? I have been very dismissive of Jones but in an open free flowing game he was superb another slice of humble pie please hope he can play as well against teams who shut up shop. Aribo very very good really you could go through the whole team easily, some great performances. More of the same please. Also with the opposition and the police praising our fans well done guys did us proud.



09 Aug 2019 15:50:52
Last night was a massive leap forward all over the park, still agree we need cover at left back but john Flanagan was outstanding last night the best performance he has put in wearing a rangers shirt.

Ryan Jack was outstanding and the midfield as a unit were very good.
Morelos looked like he has matured a lot in the past couple of months.

We had a poor 5 mins but apart from that I thought we were outstanding against a decent team away from home.

So many good points and for once out weighing the negative.



09 Aug 2019 18:38:59
All the team were superb last night, and I think this came from our midfield bossing the game. Jack/ Aribo/ Kamara controlled it which allowed the team to play so well.



09 Aug 2019 10:21:16
Would love to see docherty succeed at Ibrox was brought on last night to use his energy closing down opponents which he did. However just a wee negative in his last couple of appearances I'd say he needs to be stronger in the tackle . he's lost a couple that he should have won, been unfortunate in another couple. Just a wee criticism but hopefully he learns.



09 Aug 2019 09:45:21
Wee shout out to @kaney, who said Morelos wouldn’t score 30 again this season, that’s 5 in 5.
He then changed it to he doesn’t score important goals. Well, he got the all important opening away goal last night kid👍
How did your £9 million striker get on again? 👀.



09 Aug 2019 13:26:08
LETSGO! _55 @kaney isn't the only non responder regarding Morelos. The silence from Coldo regarding Morelos is deafening.



09 Aug 2019 15:16:47
Blue toon, re coldo and let’s go, like us they are all entitled to their opinion. We all have views and favourites.
I’m sure they will be on and give an honest opinion re Alf last night.



09 Aug 2019 15:18:31
It wasn’t just his opening goal. It was his all round display. 2 assists as well and never gave their defence a moments peace all night.
I’ll take the wee man to lead us to #55 over the cash, Cosgrove and many of the other names that have been spouted on here the last couple of months 👍.



09 Aug 2019 15:27:35
Morelos is the best striker we’ve had in years, he is strong, his first touch is great, he leads the line well, as a loan striker he works his arsenal off, he never gives defences a rest we all know about his red cards but if you look at them they are all for petulant things I’m sure he will mature and be a top striker he will move on we all know that but it will be for a big fee which will help us rebuild so as long as he is here sit back and enjoy a top striker at work bring on the Hibees on Sunday and unleash El Buffalo.



09 Aug 2019 16:01:54
If morelos keeps his temper in check then of course we have a smashing striker on our hands. Feel we should have signed lawrence shankland not as much for the here and now, but for the future as he has all the attributes to go on and become a terrific goalscorer. We should have made sure he became our permanent striker, irrespective if he was going to become a first team regular
here and now. If he continues his terrific goalscoring feats with dundee utd as he did with ayr utd,
then you're going to have to pay serious money to sign him. He's certainly started like a house on fire, with dundee utd.



09 Aug 2019 17:41:54
I said as much last season sg loyal. I'm from ayr and go to ayr games when we're not playing, saw Shankland a lot last year and he's a terrific finisher, he very rarely misses the target, and his movement around the box reminds me of super ally. Doesn't do much outside the box but has the knack of finding space n more often than not it's in the net. we should have took a punt on him n loaned him straight out to a spl team see how he did. Was nothing to lose really.



09 Aug 2019 18:35:27
John 25, I agree every one is entitled to their opinion regarding a performance or a player, however, some here repeat time and time again what they think of a player, whether it be good or bad. DK19 is of the same opinion as myself, see above.



09 Aug 2019 19:59:53
It’s life blue toon, that’s Alf scored 13 in europa League.



09 Aug 2019 09:42:16
Brilliant result and performance last night .
What’s just as pleasing though is this team are fighting and sticking up for each other👍.



09 Aug 2019 09:19:45
Superb performance last night. Morelos Jack Aribo Jones Greegsy all stand outs, but for me, the man that stopped a lot of their attacks was big Katic. Not for a long time have I seen a Rangers man win so many high balls towards our back 4. The big lad he was marking didn't get a look in, absolutely no fear. In my opinion he is the best CB we have and will go on to be a legend at our glorious club.



09 Aug 2019 09:45:07
Thought this myself Bryan. Looks as if he’s matured into a proper player. Another player that looked good was flanno.



09 Aug 2019 10:55:43
I’m sure Aribo would agree Bryan - he got in the way of big Niko’s clearance early doors and paid the price! 👊🏻

Seriously though whole team fought like hell last night and stuck together against a decent outfit - fabulous result and performance apart from that poor wee 10mins

mon the teddy bears - let’s go!



09 Aug 2019 11:23:19
His strength has always been defending his box, just had to cut out his loose and dangerous square passes, seems to have done that now though. Haven't seen much of helander, but impressed with the other 3 centre backs this season so far.



09 Aug 2019 12:57:26
I really like Katic, I love his attitude and desire and also think he’s tremendous in the air and is a great threat at set pieces too. I do believe he can go on to be a tremendous player for us. However. he can still be a little iffy on the deck. He sometimes loses his man and let's them in behind him. It happened a few times last season and was the reason Gerrard dropped him (although I still think he was way better than Worrell) . Also you can’t say that the big man he was marking didn’t get a look in seeing as he scored their second goal (having lost Katic in the process) . Believe me I’m not having a go at Katic, overall he had a great game and as I player I love his attitude and style. Just saying there are still a few areas of his game that need tightened up which is why I’d still expect Helmander to come in from him when he’s fully up to speed (although I reckon all 4 centre backs will be rotated during the season)



09 Aug 2019 07:40:25
After the great team performance last night is this the formation we use for the "park the bus" SPL teams?



09 Aug 2019 10:15:17
The frustration of the games against the park the bus teams will never end in afraid we just have to hope we get better at breaking them down. last night was different because we played a side that was willing to have a go and not sneak a draw or win by sitting in and hoping to catch us out at some point as we push for win. We ll always look better against a team who believe they are on our level or even if the team is actually slightly better than us.



09 Aug 2019 13:47:40
Exactly, breaking down those "Park the bus" teams will always be difficult. I'd definitely take us scraping every single away league game 1-0 if it means we win this league! Home games (touch wood) shouldn't be too much of a problem 🤞.



09 Aug 2019 14:41:17
The manager has described what attacking options and styles certain individuals offer to the team, including Barker. He realises we need variety in attack to win games. That's what we have now. Certainly enough to break SPL sides, be that home or away.



09 Aug 2019 09:32:38
MOTM for me was Katic thought he was throwing himself at everything and his goal was taken really well! For a defender lol.



09 Aug 2019 09:48:00
I have to agree Tommy. Katic was outstanding last night. I think he is our best centre back right now. Ok, I've not seen Helander enough yet but Katic is outstanding at both ends of the pitch. I can't help thinking that he will be the one to drop out once Helander is fit enough to start though. I hope not but I can't see us spending that money on Helander for him to warm the bench.

Last night the whole team was good. It backs up what Gerrard said pre match about being able to play better against better teams as they don't just box in. Most of the games in the league we will be playing against teams that will sit in so we need to find a way to break these teams down. Jones looked great last night in spells but needs the space to run into and he won't get that in SPL.



09 Aug 2019 09:31:05
As we all have different opinions on who was the rangers man of the match tonight
could you please run a poll please ED? The poll should read who was your rangers man of the match against midtjylland tonight?
ie. tavernier, jack, aribo, jones, morelos, arfield,
or another?



{Ed033's Note -


Rangers M.O.T.M. poll

09 Aug 2019 09:52:30
I'm not Tavernier's biggest fan but I could be. Man of the match for me just shading Katic. He played a captains role, showed magnificent stamina and provided great opportunities. Excellent player and perhaps at times underappreciated.



09 Aug 2019 12:36:35
Where is Coldo today. did you hear the managers press conf after saying this should put the end to the Buffalo doubters. please listen think he knows better than you.

09 Aug 2019 06:46:45
I thought the whole team to a man were great last night apart from a slack 6 minutes, I would just like to give Flanagan a mention he came in from the cold and was outstanding. Lb is definitely his to loose. Superb Gers.



09 Aug 2019 08:18:16
What I really like about him is his ability to mix it up when the tackles start to get meaty. This team seems to be showing a real togetherness and look to have each other’s backs at all times.



09 Aug 2019 09:21:18
Agreed, thought he was superb, there we right back caused us a few problems early on but Flanagan dealt with him very well over the course.



09 Aug 2019 06:37:29
I see the tweet from the danish police thanking the Rangers support for their very good behaviour and for creating a great atmosphere last night we are the best supporters in the world Keep it up 👍🇬🇧.



09 Aug 2019 08:16:36
Fantastic! Well done guys and girls! 👍.



09 Aug 2019 08:17:57
Great to hear. Wonder if the media knows about it? Maybe somebody dropped a crisp poke in the stadium. Either way I’ll catch the news later.



09 Aug 2019 06:36:55
Is it just me? Or is one of our players going to get seriously hurt?
Some of the tackling in both the killie's game and last night was very cynical and the referees seem reluctant to pull out yellow or red cards.
On the other hand morelos got booked for nothing?



09 Aug 2019 08:19:00
Aye they are a big physical team like Killie. I likdd the way we wemt head to head with them just as Rangers teams of old did. And yes, Morelos was booked for nothing. Very impressed with the lad's attitude and application.
