Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
09 Jul 2020 23:26:16
Why is every media outlet under the sun linking us with dykes? Is he a Celtic fan? Hoping to join to be the party pooper? Stories getting paid by Celtic in the media that we’re dying to sign him? There’s been NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA from ibrox about dykes, yet all I see, is stories, ohh Livingston manager sets price, Livingston manager knows he will lose him, plus also Livingston manager admits ZERO approach ( cover their azz no doubt ) , talk about conspiracy theories i'm almost certain Celtic engaged in trying to promote us in media to sign players they want us too 🤔 just a thought 🤔😆.

These teams need to sell in this climate mate, they are all going to punt any valuable assets if interested parties, they are trying to generate interest.
10 Jul 2020 08:39:34
It’s just about selling papers and transfer news sells papers. Unfortunately for the papers they seem to know as much about who we are after as everyone of us on this site and basically make rubbish up.
10 Jul 2020 08:41:09
The word was rangers most definitely wanted lyndon dykes in january mate,
which was common knowledge! The then were prepared to wait 'till the summer to pay the transfer fee for a permanent deal for dykes, meanwhile we took kamberi on loan for cover for the remainder of the season.
Thats the story pal, which most of us know!
10 Jul 2020 09:00:56
Zikos saying we all talk rubbish on here! That’s not true is it guys 😂.
10 Jul 2020 09:25:48
No thanks to Dykes, we can do much better than that.
10 Jul 2020 09:58:50
From what I can see, the Press hasn't got a clue who we are signing. For whatever reason they have lost their contact that feeds them information and that for me is good news. Like everyone I want to see two or three top quality players signed that will walk straight into the team and since I have not seen any realistic names mentioned in the Scottish Media I will with until the Transfer Window opens in August and hope that the quality arrives and newspapers like the Record are left looking like idiots again!
10 Jul 2020 13:17:47
Weird tho that the press don't get a sniff no (great news btw) but some on here still claim sources 😂😂.
10 Jul 2020 16:37:49
well I love the way we’re doing business, the less other teams know about who were after the less competition to sign that player, keep it up rangers! 👍👍👍.
10 Jul 2020 20:37:14
Defo agree gaz mate, cardsvclose to chest at all times.
09 Jul 2020 23:17:52
Thoughts and prayers with big scott nesbit. Just reading there the big fella has cancer with it beingb 4 tumours. Hope you can beat it big fella.
10 Jul 2020 02:31:31
Yeah I’ll never forget his deflected goal against club Brugge in the champions league, more for the celebration 🥳 could tell he has rangers flowing through his blood, I wish him all the best!
10 Jul 2020 05:37:42
My heart sank when I read nizzy's sad news.
10 Jul 2020 08:33:25
all the best scott, u have got this. Will never forget that goal, it might be the biggest fluke in europe, but who cares. Rangers are back in front.
10 Jul 2020 08:34:23
Aw that is really sad. Good big guy. All the best in your fight with this terrible disease, Scott.
10 Jul 2020 08:38:29
Scott, as someone who beat this challenge, stay positive Son, I'll always remember the valued contribution you made to our Club, all the best pal, praying for you.
10 Jul 2020 08:44:49
So sad and hope and pray Scott nisbet will beat this terrible challenge 🙏We're all rooting for you nizzy! 🙏I'll never forget his goal at ibrox and watching the game again when i got home and that goal against brugge! "It may be the biggest fluke in the world, but who cares"! God bless you and all your family big man!
10 Jul 2020 09:08:30
Thinking of Nesbit at this challenging time.
10 Jul 2020 09:07:09
As someone who has had and beaten cancer I wish him all the very best. This will affect all his friends and family but he is a fighter.
10 Jul 2020 13:19:08
Still no idea how that ended up in the night lol stay strong big nizzy.
09 Jul 2020 21:23:48
Guys anyone shed any light on this for me? Renewed my season tickets last month, paid in full. Money was taken and got my confirmation emails through. Haven't heard anything since. Was on checking out the new website and it says my season ticket purchases have been cancelled? They've refunded the money into my account aswell.
Wtf? Does anyone know if the ticket line is taking calls yet so I can complain to them and try sort it?
09 Jul 2020 21:40:03
Fruit bear, I'm sorry to hear this, this is unusual. I've been a season ticket holder for a long long time which renewal has went pretty well. No idea why that has happened to you, hope you get it sorted out ASAP mate.
09 Jul 2020 21:50:06
Can’t believe it, been a season ticket holder for years. I’m absolutely raging at the thought I’ll lose my seats. Just cannot understand it. I’ve got all the bank statements and confirmation emails to prove that it was successfully renewed paid in full! Plus that MyGers aswell.
09 Jul 2020 23:08:25
FruitBear same happened to me and my friend you must have paid your season ticket through the clubs webpage it clearly states that is only if your using credit, I paid mine in full the money was payed back into my bank as you have to use the renewal link, my advice is to email the ticket office explain what’s happened and ask for the link to be resent to you that’s what I did and I got mine sorted out hope this helps.
09 Jul 2020 23:25:52
FB
Did you pay thought the web site rather than the email with the link to the new payment portal?
I did the above and received a email the following day cancelling my renewal. I had to find the email and use the link.
I have not received the credit and that’s been 10days now.
10 Jul 2020 08:40:06
Cannot believe u got your money back. That's a first.
10 Jul 2020 09:04:19
Guys you are right, I spent hours last night trying to get to the bottom of it. Part of the problem was that the cancellation email they sent Went to my young daughters email address. I had set one up for her when creating her Rangers account which was required for buying her a season ticket, which I always thought was strange as a child isn’t going to be paying for the tickets.
Clearly been an admin error and not been picked up by myself until now. I checked the link last night and it stated the payment was due so I just paid it and emailed the ticket website to explain the situation. Hopefully that will be it sorted.
09 Jul 2020 19:40:35
Belgium have set a precedent - so the arbitration panel will be under pressure to follow suit.
What is interesting for me is if the decision is reversed and ALL team fixtures go back into the impartial computer fixture program then it will be very difficult for Doncaster/ Lawell to again manipulate the Old Firm game at Parkhead so very late, and at the same time give cfc an easy first game at home and also aberdeen v Rangers.
But mind you we are talking about Doncaster/ SPFL/ Lawell and their machinations and dumbfoolery.
Interesting times ahead - again 👀 👀 👀.
09 Jul 2020 20:06:10
How Doncaster is still in that job is incredible. Totally inept and has done nothing to justify his ridiculous salary. He has brought nothing to the table and only does as he is told by Liewell.
09 Jul 2020 20:20:46
And the worrying this is they don't even bother to hide it anymore.
09 Jul 2020 20:27:35
Guys I'm not getting this. So what is the difference getting the sheep 1st game or 11th game. We are away to celtic aberdeen hibs motherwell simply because we had all them at home 1st last season. That's the way it has worked ever since I can remember.
09 Jul 2020 20:48:19
FH Bear - it is second time it has happened in three years, and they have their first game at home and they asked for the first old firm game to be delayed and they got it - all this from an impartial computer fixture program - that is the issue.
09 Jul 2020 21:03:40
True blue- not from a computer - from Peter Liewell ! It's so corrupt or am I being paranoid?
09 Jul 2020 21:06:21
If we win the league last year we would be at home.
09 Jul 2020 21:36:07
What's worrying is that people believe there is a conspiracy 😂😂😂👍.
09 Jul 2020 21:47:55
@true blue can't you see a pattern your away to certain teams 2 out of 3 seasons next year it's likely 2 out of 4 seasons, don't let alternate seasons get in the way of your ever increasing paranoia. As for old firm game being later don't you think in a 2 team league it's only sensible to try and promote the game in the best possible way which includes fans if possible? I appreciate you want to try and get an advantage but take green/ blue specs off it makes sense to try and have fans at biggest match in the campaign at that point to promote the game, I don't know about you but watching matches without fans loses interest quickly for me if you don't support that team and that's not good for a broadcaster.
09 Jul 2020 21:50:57
The Stuck - but the party line is that there is an impartial computer fixture program, however what they don’t tell us is that Doncaster et al can input specific teams and dates into the impartial computer fixture program, so they can. Makes you wonder which words in the impartial computer fixture program are correct, so it does, or maybe it’s just another name / pseudonym for Doncaster/ Lawell?
09 Jul 2020 21:55:33
Jim1972 - no.
09 Jul 2020 22:08:35
True blue you sound like one of them have a day pal.
They play at home 1st because they won the league.
Old firm games go one year them 1st our turn the next.
You need to take the tin foil hat off.
09 Jul 2020 22:36:56
apart from that there is definately fixtures picked out then the rest are fitted in between them hence you get the old firm new year match. or do you think the randomness manages to do this every year.
league champions get the home game for flag unfolding. so again that's one game "fixed" into the equation straight away.
09 Jul 2020 22:52:14
What will set spfl apart from the decision in Belgium france etc will be the clear and total corruption of the directors at spfl. I bet a pound to a brown #### that a certian Peter (who isn't on the spfl board) was in negotiation with Jim Nelms, offering financial gains to change his vote from no to yes, Doncaster was the middle man pushing 'Peter's bargin' whilst offering hollow incentives to get jim to fold. The only responsibility donkeycaster had to the 42 clubs was to ensure a fair and impartial vote, not to coerce. He has f##ked up big time👀.
09 Jul 2020 23:02:21
Is there an RFC director on the SPFL board or a CFC one?
09 Jul 2020 23:21:21
Thing about computers, they are created and programmed by humans 🤔.
09 Jul 2020 19:15:46
Here is a question seen aberdeen accepted 2mil for Sam Cosgrove who else thinks this would be a good move.
09 Jul 2020 19:28:22
No thanks.
09 Jul 2020 19:35:57
Defo mate worth that.
09 Jul 2020 19:39:33
Sam Cosgrove is a big lump of wood for me anyway Ibroxstorm!
09 Jul 2020 19:41:03
Would rather have dykes for less money if I was to sign a striker based in Scotland.
09 Jul 2020 20:07:34
Guaranteed if we did bid £2m then that mob would want another £1m on top of that. It’s pointless trying to buy anyone off them as they will drastically inflate the price.
09 Jul 2020 20:21:33
Dykes before Cosgrove any day.
09 Jul 2020 20:57:17
The numbers speak for themselves. Cosgrove is a far better option than Dykes. It’s not even close!
09 Jul 2020 21:49:46
I 200% agree with both bgate w and seeker, dykes easily better than cosgrove for me. Dykes has a very good turn of pace and cosgrove is slower than me! Pace and the five yard burst a big attribute in football. Big Oakwood Cosgrove when he tries to run, looks like he's towing a caravan, he's a big carthorse!
09 Jul 2020 22:10:16
C of Ibrox, what numbers speak for themselves? Assume your talling abount Cosgroves goals? Look closer 90% are pens.
09 Jul 2020 22:10:43
Going by goals it’s Cosgrove but for me neither him or Dykes are worth it to be honest.
09 Jul 2020 22:38:15
please don start this discussion all over again. fed up being on this roundabout.
09 Jul 2020 22:48:15
Was 2.7mill. No thanks.
09 Jul 2020 23:03:51
Understand some don't like Cosgrove, if he is slow etc. But what does that say about our defence he made them look stretched.
09 Jul 2020 18:26:25
Well well well! Belgium decision on relegation and crowned champions overturned by CAS!
09 Jul 2020 18:44:15
I can see this happening here as well Barrowlad.
If Hearts don't get relegated timco will have to re-sit their tainted nine.
Bring it on! .
Pity our smoking gun was a dud tho.
09 Jul 2020 18:53:15
Remember no matter what hearts can take this to CAS in Switzerland to get justice and precedent has been set! Not looking good for the season or the spfl.
09 Jul 2020 20:22:40
Would be brilliant but too much to hope for I fear.
10 Jul 2020 06:14:46
Blue billy
The problem with the smoking gun was that we released the dossier a month too late. If it had been issued the end of the 1st week in May when people knew nothing then it would have been much more creditable as a lot of the information became leaked over the next month reducing its impact.
The facts that Hearts and Patrick have had to petition the courts to gain access to the real smoking gun shows how difficult it is to get hold of the evidence.
It seems that justice and fairness and applying the rules correctly are only available if you can afford to go to court.
09 Jul 2020 16:52:25
is morelos in Spain find it strange why he's not in Scotland.
09 Jul 2020 17:48:16
Noticed that Andre Schurrle is available for 2m from Bundesliga. Why aren't Rangers going after a player of that quality.
09 Jul 2020 18:34:57
Laudbear for his quality He hasn’t been quality for about 5 years.
09 Jul 2020 18:37:48
Potential wages might be one issue laudbear.
09 Jul 2020 16:12:39
Hey guys hope everyones doing well. Just seen Dortmund have lowered there asking price of 27m to 2m for Andre Schurlle. This is something i feel we should look at if wages aren't an issue 2m for him would really be a no brainer could score goals.
09 Jul 2020 17:06:27
Shuurlie not. He's had his day. We're not a retirement home.
09 Jul 2020 17:15:35
Apart from Defoe, Davis and McGregor 😂😂.
09 Jul 2020 17:50:09
I think schurrle for 2m is a no brainer. What age was arren robin when he retired.
09 Jul 2020 17:59:26
Arjen robben is no longer retired.
09 Jul 2020 18:05:17
The winger i'm hoping we're wanting is the young 20 year old Dane, andreas skov olsen.
09 Jul 2020 18:27:49
does that mean we will have churrle bassey?
09 Jul 2020 18:36:03
He hasn’t been good for about 5 years, he has wasted his talent it’s a big no.
I would go with the boy SGL says if we can get him.
09 Jul 2020 18:49:54
Barrowlad cosmic, very clever.
09 Jul 2020 20:32:26
I’d give Cove and Daith £5k and tell Dundee Utd to poke it for previous prickery.
09 Jul 2020 21:51:45
Daith😂😂😂.
09 Jul 2020 15:54:08
So Dundee Utd. Among others want our club to give them a wee dig out. £5k from prem clubs to be precise.
Crowdfunding and the likes to support their legal costs fighting their ‘case’ against hearts and co.
Maybe I’ve too long a memory. but no thanks for me, nothing personal re:
09 Jul 2020 18:17:49
Meant to finish that by saying nothing personal re: the other two Raith and Cove, but the other mob can ram it.
10 Jul 2020 09:04:13
Agree Andy, I hope Rangers do not give them a penny.
10 Jul 2020 09:05:06
Id give them the square root of 0.
09 Jul 2020 15:10:43
Just seen on some poll there about which 3 players Rangers fans would like to be given a decent chance this season, and 3 players to sell. Greg Stewart comes top of the selling list!? Wtf? The guy's been given very little chances, and when he has been given a chance he's performed.
09 Jul 2020 16:42:26
I agree 100% Patmo85, there are too many players whom some want discarded, but, it costs money to replace them. We persevered with a few under performers last season.
09 Jul 2020 16:45:39
I thing Greg has done well and is a great squad player.
09 Jul 2020 17:22:44
I'd certaimly keep him.
09 Jul 2020 17:50:35
Persevered with a few and where did that get us? Let's not make the same mistakes again.
09 Jul 2020 18:37:16
He ain’t good enough we need better.
09 Jul 2020 20:10:20
Stewart is very average and his career goal scoring record is abysmal. Shouldn’t be anywhere the squad let alone the team. His performance against Hearts in the cup was disgraceful threw in the towel after about 20 mins.
09 Jul 2020 11:23:22
Former loan player could be Kyle Bartley worth around 2m and has fair bit of experience now. I liked him, had a bit about him stood up to everyone.
09 Jul 2020 11:45:36
Would be an excellent signing, a player who seems to have been around for ever now.
09 Jul 2020 11:54:10
I'd take Bartley back 👍.
09 Jul 2020 12:01:41
Yip I'd take bartley👍.
09 Jul 2020 12:09:22
in a heart beat just to see broonies coupon.
09 Jul 2020 12:50:28
In total agreement guys, i would have kyle bartley back in a heartbeat! 👍.
09 Jul 2020 13:10:18
Good shout with Bartley lads, read his contracts up next summer but if West brom get promotion could see him signing on longer.
Hope Brentford beat West brom to promotion now 😂😂he might think about moving on.
09 Jul 2020 14:00:03
Would be a very good signing, big bartley!
09 Jul 2020 14:06:56
Gazzaloyal, where's the story of the link with us being interested in kyle bartley again mate? 🤔I can't see any link to rangers wanting to sign bartley anywhere 🤔. According to ibrox noise, they're circulating a story that andreas skov olsen the young danish winger is poised to be our fourth summer signing from bologna! They stated they're just waiting on confirmation of the deal being done. This would be a tremendous capture for us, as both our danish former players, brian 'god' laudrup and peter lovenkrands had highly recommended skov olsen to gerrard and ross wilson. He's still only 20 years old. He looks quality with a very good scoring rate for a winger, while he was playing in Denmark. The italian league just as it was for laudrup, was probably the wrong move for olsen.
09 Jul 2020 14:39:46
No link at all as far as I can see coop ad I said on the reply 'good shout with Bartley lads', think you've miss understood me I never said there was a link just would be a good shout to have him back 👍👍
Then I commented his contracts up next summer and if West brom don't reach premship this season it's likely hel look for a new challenge.
09 Jul 2020 14:43:43
SGL: surely there couldn’t be a positive story on Ibrox noise regarding our club?
09 Jul 2020 17:24:03
Bartley and Olsen 👍.
09 Jul 2020 09:32:16
Just a thought here guys.
José Callejón. Free agent I know he's 32 but he's still a very good player. Although a do think wages would be a huge problem. Would love him at the club but again we can dream.
09 Jul 2020 10:22:32
Not for me. We need more energy in the team not guys over 30.
09 Jul 2020 11:08:15
Not for me fifaguy.
09 Jul 2020 11:55:10
In terms of ability would definitely take him. International and champion league quality. In terms of cost would say nah, would be on hundred grand a week easy.
09 Jul 2020 09:31:34
Gutted for Big Niko Katic after his Cruciate injury.
Felt like it could’ve been a big year for him, has matured a lot over past 2 seasons and was a big presence for us.
For that reason - I think we should try replace with a short term experienced CB that can fill the void.
Names I’ve seen mentioned are - Wes Morgan, Phil Jagielka, Yoshida.
Less risk involved that taking a young CB on loan for the season imo, too much riding on this season.
Thoughts?
09 Jul 2020 10:15:26
we have 3 centre backs and another in bassey. we also could use mccrorie.
and multiple highly thought of from the youth team. personally think we'll be fine without signing one.
09 Jul 2020 10:38:15
I’m with you IvIarkGraham.
09 Jul 2020 11:38:08
Ivlark mccrorie ain't no central defender and SG will never play him there.
09 Jul 2020 12:27:54
We should never use McCrorie at CH.
09 Jul 2020 14:00:39
seen durrant mention leon king stepping up. was a massive year for katic but he wasnt a world beater. Had some shockers last season fornall his good attributes he's probably out of the 4 CH the one with worst positional sense.
09 Jul 2020 16:06:13
His positional sense wasn’t that bad in the last auld firm game.
09 Jul 2020 16:45:46
Yeah katic probably yworked too hard on bulking up his top half he was too heavy for his legs, should’ve did leg work first when your already a big dude in my opinion 🤔.
09 Jul 2020 09:29:34
With regards to the Leverkusen game are we only allowed to play the players that are already registered. We are missing several defenders so we do not need any injuries. However Leverkusen may have sold a couple of players by then.
09 Jul 2020 10:39:19
I believe we can give a much better showing against Leverkusen in the second leg. It is a tough one to win through the tie overall though.
09 Jul 2020 00:25:25
First timer so be gentle,
Feel we need to get real,
The days of buying players who are the finest article are gone sadly, and everyone we sign won't be a success, it's players like ferguson, dykes that we will be buying, players with a sell on value, lf even 2 out of 3 work out there should be a profit down the line, but there should be some form of forward planning, a replacement for the buffalo should have been bought in the last window to bed in , work out who to sell a year ahead and have a replacement in the club, got to face it we are a selling club.
09 Jul 2020 10:40:39
Makes sense Border blue.
09 Jul 2020 12:13:46
why would you bring in a replacement for el buf last window when its not even clear if he is leaving this window? then you have more money paid out to sit in the stand - can't really follow that logic sorry.
09 Jul 2020 12:30:00
Geesaadodothat
We needed another striker in anyway and it does make sense to bed someone in don’t know why you would have a problem with that and it’s great logic.
09 Jul 2020 15:12:53
mccrorie was a CH
granted I don't think its his best position but don't see a problem him moving back there for emergency cover.
