Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
09 Feb 2020 22:46:18
Right guys. No more signings or departures. So what is your strongest 11.
McGregor
Tav
Barasic
Goldstone
Katic
Jack
Davis
Hagi
Kamara
Kent
Morelos.
09 Feb 2020 23:13:56
Aribo in for Kamara would be my only change fauldhouse. Davis, Jack and Kamara together is too defensive for me with not enough creativity. Davis and Jack sitting a bit deeper allowing Aribo to drive forward fron the middle just looks a bit more offensive and creative in my opinion. I like Kamara though but you can't play everyone. Aribo is a very talented player and played in the right position on a regular basis we will see him get vetter and better.
10 Feb 2020 08:11:50
Haji and Aribo have to find a place, due to their attacking prowess, I would personally like to see us play with two strikers to take the pressure off Alfie a bit.
10 Feb 2020 12:39:56
Kamara out that centre mid. Still unsure about Centre halfs.
10 Feb 2020 13:25:16
For people wanting Kamara out of a best 11, assume every player is at their peak performance level that you have seen them play against best standard of opposition they did it against, then tell me Aribo over Kamara. Currently yes but over the course. it a not yet from me for a best 11.
09 Feb 2020 20:46:01
What's the deal with the Ibrox pitch, SG raging that is such poor condition. Worse I've seen in about last 10 years.
09 Feb 2020 23:15:23
We had a lot of home games in quick succession. i'm not surprised the pitch is cutting up a bit.
10 Feb 2020 09:11:29
Yeh MOC, but it looked terrible in the first of that 3 game run.
09 Feb 2020 20:02:25
Scottish Cup Draw, anyone notice that we have been the last ball to come out in both draws of the sc ensuring we were always going to be away?
just saying lol.
09 Feb 2020 20:17:05
The mhanks are away aswell.
09 Feb 2020 20:34:26
Would you like to elaborate slim? lol.
09 Feb 2020 20:44:25
Slimjim, a ridiculous example of your paranoia if you believe that. Actually believe it’s a good draw for us.
09 Feb 2020 22:16:06
Lol you guys.
I have no worries about the draw nor do i care about the mhanks draw.
merely commenting on the fact that to be the team that were not drawn out in 2 successive occasions is highly unusual.
Clue was in the ^just saying lol"
Obviously too subtle for some on here.
09 Feb 2020 22:42:10
Stranraer slim jim?
09 Feb 2020 18:37:13
Hearts? . Guess that's another trophy you will miss🤔.
09 Feb 2020 20:02:59
Bridbhoy.
Welcome to our page. Comes as a massive surprise to see you here. We had no idea our club had such interest from across the city.
As it happens, most of us wanted either Celtic or Hearts. Gives us an opportunity to atone for that which has gone before.
09 Feb 2020 20:24:50
Bribhoy, let's have a bet between me and you, on the hearts V rangers scottish cup game pal. Name your stake and the loser has to give the agreed sum of the bet, to the chosen charity of the winner! How about it? let's see how confident you are that hearts will beat rangers in this scottish cup tie. 🤔.
09 Feb 2020 20:29:04
Gooners can you simplify your text please as I think it may elude the deluded!?
09 Feb 2020 21:02:58
steven gerrard loyal, would not bet with bribhoy you have to shame him and chase for your winnings, although i will give him his due he did pay to charity our bet after about 6 months, not worth the grief though.
09 Feb 2020 22:04:49
Is that the sort of character bribhoy is truebluesotrue?
09 Feb 2020 18:36:22
Lets all ban buying the sun till they sack davie proven over Morelos comments.
09 Feb 2020 19:57:44
What he say?
09 Feb 2020 20:06:13
I thought no rangers fan touched the sun already?
09 Feb 2020 20:30:03
Who buys the sun?
09 Feb 2020 21:51:58
Provan said if Morelos can't put up with the abuse he gets, then he's in the wrong city and if he thinks he gets in bad, have a word with Mo Johnston.
10 Feb 2020 00:16:35
Does anybody buy papers at all?
10 Feb 2020 01:59:17
haven;t bought ANY newspaper in years, they are ALL rags. And that modern stuff called toilet paper is much more gentle on ones arse lol.
10 Feb 2020 05:42:45
Wee alex, i ve never bought the paper, in my life, honest mate.
10 Feb 2020 12:51:57
Ridiculous comments to go with his ridiculous hairstyle. Does he say the same about Neil, when it happens to him?
09 Feb 2020 17:44:11
James McClean? Not going to say to much as I might be classed as a bigot🇬🇧🇬🇧.
09 Feb 2020 17:53:24
What’s he done now?
09 Feb 2020 18:44:39
The guy is a total no mark.
09 Feb 2020 19:04:32
Apparently he talked Tyrese Campbell out of joining "Sevco".
09 Feb 2020 19:57:05
He is a 1st class fud.
09 Feb 2020 19:57:45
Hes boasting it was him who talked Tyrese Campbell into not signing for Rangers. Instead he extended with Stoke for 4 years.
09 Feb 2020 22:04:02
whats he done in foitball? not much.
and hows Anthony stokes doing these days?
wdw.
09 Feb 2020 23:47:05
Tyrese Campbell was never signing for us. He was just trying to milk stoke for extra wages.
10 Feb 2020 05:40:21
that mcclean is a bigger knob end than the other eejit davie provan, mclean can only mention the word sevco in his description of rangers, as for provan it seems if you can't take racist abuse then alfie should not be playing for rangers, and he should go back to where he came from in so many words, mcclean reckons he persuaded whoever was touted for rangers not to join sevco as he puts it, as i said a couple of bigoted morons, provan should be brought to book for me, as his comments stink of racism.
10 Feb 2020 05:41:41
He’s a big brave boy Twitter now deleted
Imagine him trolling anybody a no mark who every year shamed whatever club he’s at by refusing to wear poppy.
10 Feb 2020 05:43:34
Load of bull, if mclean had told him to jump into the thames would he have done it, the campbell never wanted to come, or he would be hear.
09 Feb 2020 16:46:09
Hearts away in cup surely after last 2 performances against them the players will be ready for the battle. A place in semi awaits.
10 Feb 2020 05:36:08
Onewaltersmith, there's no getting away from it now mate, the whole team will ned to stand up and be counted, in this game,
09 Feb 2020 16:37:46
Listen folk we all have our own opinions
If I want to say we're still not playing to our full potential then I can it's my opinion
Doesn't mean I don't back the manager or players
It's called passion and passion to want to win every game
And if I don't think some performances have not been great then surely I have the right to post it as much as you are aloud to post your opinions
We all want the team to do well and most important win the league this year
And I'll keep shouting from rooftops with opinions and suggestions on the thread they might not be accurate it it's just my own views and frustrations coming out 😊
Not trying to change anyone's own opinions
And you don't have to agree with them
Same as I don't need to agree with yours
But I recognise we're all supporters and want to be team to do well
Any negative review of recent performances is not going to change the team
Only the team can change the way they play and the manager to get them firing on all cylinders which I hope will be next game and going forward
Certainly seen a little bit of difference in past 2 games all being, coming 2nd half
Slowly but surely we can get back to the heights before winter break 😊
Anyway I'll try keep the faith for the league this year 😊.
09 Feb 2020 17:02:28
Thestigno, I really get your passion and certainly nowt wrong with posting your opinion- much appreciated my friend but can I ask you, are you enjoying a wee Sunday session? LOL.
09 Feb 2020 17:06:26
Spot on Thestigno1, everyone get behind the team and let’s go on a run over next 10 games.
09 Feb 2020 17:59:08
I respect your post which you are quite rightly entitled to mate. It’s the constant singling out of players, making them scapegoats and branding them crap, mince etc that doesn’t sit well with me. Players who are suffering a dip in form/ confidence isn’t helped with our fans constantly on their case. Let’s get behind them and realise how far we have come.
09 Feb 2020 18:43:56
Yes thestig we all have our opinions and come on here to express them sometimes I do out of frustration sometimes boredom.
What bugs me is those who disagree with others opinions go on to slag them in a manner that feels like being treated like a traitor and anti Gers supporter.
In any case I doubt very much our manager or players come on here for our advice when they are the paid professionals not us.
09 Feb 2020 19:37:34
The stuck
Nothing wrong with a Sunday sesh haha 😂 👍
Everysaturdaywefollow
Get your point and I do it myself I know
Again frustration and passion
Need somewhere to vent lol 😊
Hope everyone is enjoying a stormy Sunday in doors 😊.
10 Feb 2020 02:08:04
thestigo, great post, I get shot down here every week for my opinions, so join the club mate. what I don't like and have no time for are the abusive responses from others with stronger opinions than my own. Like you, I do not wish to influence anyone but we are all entitled to speak from the heart, most would call it freedom of speech, but others call my posts drivel or worse usually. I've been a fan since 1950 when my dad took me to Ibrox, I have remained and will always be a loyal supporter, that's for sure.
10 Feb 2020 05:37:39
Bankie, let's just go on a run until season is over, that's the way it should be every season, there's no point playing any sort of game, if you don't try to win it.
09 Feb 2020 16:20:54
Hearts away.
09 Feb 2020 16:45:47
Great draw, chance for revenge and show how good we are. Take positives from the 2nd half on Sat.
09 Feb 2020 17:33:50
Very good draw, listened to it live and with 3 other teams left felt like an old firm quarter final on cards.
09 Feb 2020 16:19:32
Away to hearts next round. better alfredo is playing.
09 Feb 2020 16:19:29
Hearts at Tynecastle in the QF of the Cup, surprise, surprise.
09 Feb 2020 16:36:14
worse place we could go after parkhead for sure.
09 Feb 2020 17:17:20
Our revenge will be so sweet guys. If we perform we'll beat hearts at tynecastle, simple as that! Have some faith.
09 Feb 2020 21:45:17
Coops right, we play like we can, we win.
10 Feb 2020 05:39:58
Correct SGL, one of the worst teams in the league who have raised their game against us.
Play to our potential and we blow them away. 👍.
10 Feb 2020 05:45:56
Sgl, i'm on your side, with this one matey.
09 Feb 2020 14:36:47
There are two petitions for the Micheal Stewart on change.org. One for him to be reinstated and one for him to be permanently sacked. Reinstate is way ahead probably because its been running for a few days.
09 Feb 2020 15:33:33
got a link to that sacked one pal?
10 Feb 2020 05:31:34
Sack Stewart Petition
10 Feb 2020 23:45:29
Tjbb, every time i click onto any petition to sign it, ( to get him sacked) the screne just clicks it away, don't know if its my ipad, it does play up now and then, thus i usually only write short replies, if ime typing to long, the page uploads again in middle of my text, waiting for new ipad, do you think my ipads the problem, or does this happen to others? .
09 Feb 2020 10:58:20
Read an ‘article’ saying Beale banned for 5 games for calling Clancy a cheat.
Sporting integrity indeed.
09 Feb 2020 14:57:56
Banned for telling the truth lol.
09 Feb 2020 15:01:14
Andy-NS, keep up my friend, that was Thursdays news. All the same, good point it's a bit extreme.
09 Feb 2020 12:02:01
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new manager profile about, Julian Nagelsmann
09 Feb 2020 10:24:28
Someone told me Michael Stewart is doing the draw for next round. Not sure if they are taking the mince or if true.
09 Feb 2020 10:45:05
The only thing he should be drawing is a line under his career as a pundit, guys a Juan Kerr.
09 Feb 2020 11:35:07
Not being hard in the least here fellow bears, but michael stewart is one bitter, twisted person, towards our club! Its because we rejected the nungy, when he was younger and on trial at rangers. My message to him and his cohorts, is get over it you bitter galloot. He talks utter p**h anyway!
09 Feb 2020 11:57:31
That should guarantee the unwashed the easiest draw possible, if they get through today. I had an odd £3.47 in my betting account so put it on Clyde to win at 45/ 1! lol.
09 Feb 2020 16:00:52
Even worse it's Chris Sutton.
PS Get the petition link to get Stewart sacked permanently please.
09 Feb 2020 18:14:19
Hearing Traynor will be moving to pastures new.
10 Feb 2020 05:44:22
Doiger, good on you for giving them odds a wee go pal, unlucky.
10 Feb 2020 23:49:34
Should also ask, has anybody noticed the micky stewart chap always gulps after he speaks, and his face goes red, he is even embaresing himself, thus red face, i hope he reads this just so as i make him parra known that i know lol. hate the liar.
09 Feb 2020 06:28:38
Decent second half again . seem to be getting better as we go. so what's that then played 7 games since winter break and won 5 of them. wheres the stevie g haters now?
Dont just sing when you're winning. everyone has had a bad day or days at the office. sure if we were never winning etc then obviously questions about the manager/ players should br answered but i said it last week it was a dip in form and the team will come good. well last couple games proved my point. yesterdays 2nd half performance was pre dubai rangers.
Got to stick up for kent aswell. many you questioning his 7 million price tag, that's not his choice. that was liverpools valuation of him not his. let's put it this way. had liverpool sild him to us for a million all you kent haters would be praising him as deal of the century.7 million or 7 quid. not his choice what he's worth. And i for one think 7 mil is a good deal and he WILL make us a profit.
Hagi looks the part. All be it only played 2 games but he's looking good . some really good touches.
Do i still think we can win the league? Yes i do.
09 Feb 2020 09:10:45
Good post mate. 7 games, 1 defeat since the break isn't bad at all. The unwashed will have their stutter in form before long. We need to win our next 5 league games before we play them at Ibrox then we'll see what happens. Like you, I still think #55 is possible.
09 Feb 2020 09:35:25
I really hope Celtic do have their stutter in form very soon, however, at the moment they just don't look like that's going to happen. I was fully expecting Motherwell to make it difficult for them, but they went to the team third in the league and battered them.
09 Feb 2020 10:02:33
Piggle
Your an eternal optimist. Sure the Christmas hangover logic has been put to rest but feel we are still under performing in numerous areas. 1st half against Hamilton we stank. LBH took SG to kick arses for 2nd half. Pro footballers at our level shouldn't need that kind of motivation. Further, Tic outplaying/ out scoring us ATM and I fear the worst but hope and pray.
10 Feb 2020 05:32:57
Pigle, until its mathematically impossible, i will always fancy our chances of winning the league, this season, as long as we keep ourself within striking distance for when there blip comes (and it will imo) so as to restore our rightfull place, looking down on the rest.
09 Feb 2020 00:16:49
We won 4-1 not the best games we've seen but progress from last few games hopefully build on that
Arfield penalty was terrible luckily got it in 2nd attempt
Arfield 4th goal was beauty want to see more of this from our midfielders instead of trying to walk into net at times
There goal? Where was our defence
All for talking the lads up and giving them credit great score line
But the goal we let in was awful defending
Anyone disagree on that?
Morelos In on goal why go with right foot
For keeper to save
Switch left foot bit a bend round the keeper he scores
Again the confidence shows at these points just now glad to see him on the scoresheet though
We won main thing keep the momentum going into next game
Personally still not convinced on how we're playing but 4 goals scored more than we have scored in one game in a while
So happy with that
Need to get result against Killie midweek
But I have a sneaky feeling we will not be back to our best until after braga game
Hope I'm wrong - but I'll wait and see
Seen a few posts some folk happy with recent performances
And happy if Celtic get there 9 league titles if that's the case why spend so much money on trying to catch up with them
And put ourselves under pressure
Play the young guys in some positions lose Defoe etc
Sometimes can't understand some people views on our team on here, ?
We have the 2nd biggest wage bill in Scotland I'm assuming behind Celtic
So for that I do expect and You also should expect to be beating teams far more comfortably than we are.
If not then lose these big wages on some of these players and then we can lower expectations
Very simple.
Right now I believe and I'm sure our current manger who comes from a winning team winning mentality we should be expecting to be beating everything in front of us in this league in this present moment
Again simple too see.
09 Feb 2020 06:11:06
agree with some of your points but because we have a high wage bill doesn't mean we will brush teams aside easily? man city arsenal chelsea? we were brushing teams aside with ease but a dip in form injuries suspensions . can have a huge influence on the team not to mention media pressure on players and individuals and pressure from supporters all can have an adverse effect. yes they should be able to cope being professionals but as we know the pressure on rangers is huge . jurgen klopp 4 years to win the league (should win) . he didn't do it by bringing in youngsters to suit the wage bill he built a team and i believe SG is trying to do the same. i so hope we start to win trophies sooner rather than later but i can see that we heading the right way liverpool beat shrewsbury in a cup with a team of youngsters will they be called up to play in the first team? who knows our team of youngsters are in the semi's of a cup it doesn't mean they should replace our first team does it? food for thought though stigno i would love to see rangers winning every game with ease but things changed at our club and i for one don't know how long it will take to see those days again? even in world soccer there are very few easy games anymore. but hope springs eternal mate.
09 Feb 2020 07:25:27
Do you really think fans talking about positives is happy with the poor performances and happy to see another season without a trophy?
09 Feb 2020 09:36:52
Can’t remember reading any posts on here saying that they are happy with recent performances but happy to be corrected.
Plenty of posts effectively saying our manager and half the players are crap.
Plenty of posters who have thrown the towel in already.
Very few posts saying positive things about our players.
09 Feb 2020 15:55:36
guys. when we had the biggest budget in the league we still lost the odd game against the lesser teams. it happens that's football. i am not saying i am happy about losing, far from it, but its reality unfortunately. i for one, whether we end up trophyless, would want SG to remain. his influence in other areas are obvious for all to see. i was never an SG lover either as a footballer or when he came as manager but i can see the difference he has made. wise up guys and get behind the team and manager, that's what fans do for good and for bad.
09 Feb 2020 20:18:06
Wage bills have nothing to do with what happens on the park!
If that was the case, we wouldn't have blown Celtic away at the piggery on the 29th. Or Livi wouldn't have beaten them, or they wouldn't have dropped points to Hibs.
Some on here are needing to have a long hard look at themselves how they support the team through the good and bad times. And I don't mean after one defeat and a draw!
10 Feb 2020 05:33:56
Geezadodathat, yes im in full agreement with you, i recon we will never install a manager that has the same clout as steven gerrard, it takes time too build a good side, but we will get there, we also have the youngsters at our club to step up, when the time is right for them,
