Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


09 Mar 2020 23:01:31
Ok so that's Serie A on hold due to corona virus. surely every league in europe for safety reasons should just call off every league now and call it a draw. Start a fresh next season. On serious note there a high chance nobody will travel to leverkusen away.



10 Mar 2020 00:21:41
I know plenty of lads who are going to leverkusen.



10 Mar 2020 05:48:30
Herewego, yes so do i mate. Bout 5 of my mates got tickets and heading over but it may yet be played behind closed doors with no travel in or out of the country. Much like Italy has just done. PSG v Dortmund is already effected.



10 Mar 2020 09:11:32
As long as the game at Ibrox is ok to go ahead although feel bad for guys if not getting to Germany. It would cost our club upwards of £2million if home game was closed doors😭🇬🇧🇬🇧.



10 Mar 2020 09:34:51
Some chairman from EPL said football teams insurance covers gate fees am sure. So if a game is forced into an empty stadium and it wasnt the fault of the club then they are covered for the gate fee. We have all watched closed door games on tv before and its just weird. But stopping a dangerous virus is more important than fans getting to watch a game. I believe a german mp has called for all gatherings over 1000 people to be cancelled and if that is the case they will stop flights in for football and other events. So no one is really going to be going to germany at all. I think germany sits second in europe for the most cases of the corona virus. It may be very likely that something will happen with the away game. England will be the first british league to close doors then the rest will follow.



{Ed001's Note - French Ligue 1 is already limited to 1000 maximum spectators as well until mid-April.}

10 Mar 2020 09:45:58
I doubt I will be getting to Germany for game.



10 Mar 2020 12:08:22
Can you imagine if the English opt for close door games when Liverpool can win the league at home? There will be about 100,000 supporters outside the ground. It will be mayhem.



10 Mar 2020 13:42:52
Defo going to Leverkusen. No symptoms in Germany at all as yet. Spoke to friend and no hassle/ quarantine going to and from Germany.



10 Mar 2020 15:38:32
Millerbrandwson that could all change yet. And yes there are people who have it in germany. No deaths though.



10 Mar 2020 17:12:24
Miller. We will definitely be behind closed doors in Leverkusen. Just announced Bayern Chelsea behind closed doors.



09 Mar 2020 22:05:07
Anyone know where I can watch the game on thursday night in prague?



10 Mar 2020 07:25:27
Have you been to Prague before mate? I was there in January with the wife and its one of the most beautiful cities I've visited. Nice and cheap beer. Quid a pint. Not sure where you could catch the game but there will probably be plenty of places that will show euro football.



10 Mar 2020 12:11:00
Aye on youtube prob or hesgoal.



10 Mar 2020 15:34:22
Aye ready, best bet is lion and ball just off old town square.



10 Mar 2020 16:42:50
This is my 1st time in prague just arrived at the hotel so going out round the town to see if I can find out if the game is being shown anywhere. But thanks for the replies lads.



10 Mar 2020 23:43:47
There are a couple of sports bars called “the pub” 1 and 2. They should have it on.



09 Mar 2020 20:30:34
Apparently return leg v germans could be closed doors if on at all.



09 Mar 2020 20:00:21
Croatian LB has had one paid transfer in 10 seasons, for a total of 2.2m. After a wonderful season in Scotland he is worth 20+ million. Naw not believing it.



09 Mar 2020 20:11:33
he’s ‘worth’ what someone is prepared to pay Shug am
afraid

was glass hips really worth 25m.

If someone is prepared to 15 or 20m for either barisic or fredo we’d be mad not to take it.



09 Mar 2020 21:12:04
In reality I think if we were to sell him we could get £4m or so. He's been much better this season, but still lacks consistency and crucially, is incredibly soft for a defender. Gets injured considering a 50/ 50. I'd keep him and hope he can adapt better to the Scottish game and toughen up.



10 Mar 2020 08:35:30
Far too low a figure if we sold him for That there would be uproar on here £25m for an injury prone Scottish international? And £4m for a occasionally fragile Croatian international not sure of your reasoning on this one.



10 Mar 2020 09:43:49
1st choice LB for a team ranked top 5 in world, who got to world cup final. he's worth more than the 4m getting mooted here.



10 Mar 2020 13:22:42
Jbf. I’d love to think we could get about 12 million with sell on clause. Just look what uncapped championship players in England go for.
At end of day we take what is on offer if it reaches our evaluation, we need to trade players to lower impact of debt and ffp. Remember what our accounts said re we need to generate income from player sale.



10 Mar 2020 17:12:52
I'd put him in that bracket as well mate, about 12. Csnt believe some think we will get over 20m for him.



09 Mar 2020 19:38:50
Leckie dated a few pigs with lipstick on after his online dating episode.



09 Mar 2020 13:35:31
Even though i agree we did struggle for that result yesterday i don't like how most of the media and pundits out it across. When rangers grind out a result all we get is. rangers struggle to get win at ross county. yet when celtic struggled for a draw last week it was. champions battle to the end for precious point.

when rangers struggle but get the win we don't get the same plaudits as celtic get when they struggle. according to everyone when we grind out a result we are still poor when they grind out a draw its. Celtic show champions spirit to get point. yesterday's headlines should've been:

RANGERS SHOW NEVER SAY DIE SPIRIT FOR 3 POINTS!



09 Mar 2020 14:32:35
Totally agree mate.



09 Mar 2020 14:42:03
Spot on Iggle, the worst are the DR panel, especially Parks. Everything is magical and world class when it's the Euro failures. I rweally do hope we gub both Leverkusen and Celtic this week to see what reaction we get.



09 Mar 2020 17:12:24
Irvger . I disagree irv the worst is leckie from the sun . he likens rangers to a pig with lipstick on . brilliant . I kn who I see more of as a pig mr leckie.



09 Mar 2020 17:19:51
So agree with you, there is a mandatory bias by these people.



09 Mar 2020 18:23:05
A pig in lipstick is probably the only reply leckie got off his cringe worthy online dating profile (worth looking up if you want a laugh)



09 Mar 2020 20:02:59
I posted last week that there is an agenda against our club driven by the media sfa/ spfl and certain political groups. Your post provides even more proof. The Rangers Board must address this issue.



09 Mar 2020 13:34:32
Guessing next weeks game against them we are going to see our team actually turn up. we will win against leverkusen. and weel beat celtic comfortably sunday then we will draw with leverkusen in the 2nd leg to go into last 8 then itl be back to the grind against st mirren.



10 Mar 2020 10:10:54
I admire your optimism, but it's just what you hope for rather than based on any facts or statistics, isn't it.
I long for the day when somebody comes on here and says we will bet Celtic and then give a justification for the statement. I won't be holding my breath.



09 Mar 2020 13:31:55
Prediction number 1 came true for me. Struggled against them for that win. now watch them against leverkusen and Celtic. both comfortable wins.

Morelos is a moany grumpy waste of a jersey. may as well put me on as i'm fat, got 2 left feet. Need to wear specially made contact lenses, but i will give 100% every second.

Tav injured so captain for today 😂goldson . thought someone was pulling a funny on way to game when i got told that
Polster a much better defender than tav but his crosses were woeful.
BB aribo and kent done ok.
Davis is done
Kamara tries but he's piss poor
Edminson does what he's supposed to. DEFEND.
All in all a struggle for a 1 0 win

Guarantee you won't see this kind of performance on Wednesday and again next sunday. we will win both or atleast a great draw Wednesday but we will up our game by about 5000 against celtic and win about 2 maybe 3 nil.

Keep morelos tav kamara and goldson away. ones a greeting faced so n so. Ones saying we are pussies. ones just a 7 foot accident n the other thinks he's good when he's not.



09 Mar 2020 14:10:21
Who we playing on wednesday?



09 Mar 2020 18:00:19
Glen Kamara is anything but piss poor and will prove that in the Finnish team at the Euros. He was playing brilliantly in the first half of the season and had a couple of stormers against them. You don't suddenly lose that so to say he is piss poor is just wrong imo. the lad has a bit of class about him.



09 Mar 2020 13:14:45
I still believe we're a better team than Celtic. They've had a lot of lucky last minute winners and a draw in added time together with a couple of friendly refs happy to show red cards to their opponents. We need Morelos scoring again. It lifts the rest of the team.



09 Mar 2020 13:44:23
How can we be a better team if we are 2nd and 13 points behind, please help me out.



09 Mar 2020 14:41:55
@KFraser it's been a long tough season, but if that's your take on what has really happened then I can't take you seriously anymore.



09 Mar 2020 14:51:17
Deemc22 we're a better team 11 against 11. I'm old enough to know refs make mistakes but this season has been shocking. Take yesterday as one example of many. Blatant handball penalty not given Aribo elbowed in the face straight red not given. Do your homework on Clancy and his red cards at Parkhead. Might sound paranoid but we've been hammered by refs without a doubt.



09 Mar 2020 17:09:00
Ethe one on aribo wasnt even close to a red mate, don't be paranoid. Difnt throw an elbow happens every game when one guy gets up earlier and higher you csnt jump without your arms up.



09 Mar 2020 18:12:58
@Kfraser. Man I've heard it all now.



09 Mar 2020 18:50:58
That you collected all your toys and put them back in the pram AS1974?
Good, because the variety of opinions on this site makes it👍
Welcome back from your short sabbatical😂.



09 Mar 2020 20:01:56
Might sound paranoid* lol.



10 Mar 2020 06:57:11
@Mr Tupac. People can have thier opinions. I don't have a problem with that. You'll soon be saying I was right about SG. I am a realist. I didn't post after Ross county as it's a waste of time on here. Some people are blinded. We get a deflected goal against another team who are poor in the league. Same formation and same dross.

It will be his last season for sure. Sorry if that's negative but the Gers fans won't put up with this. Wins nothing in 2 years and you want a 3rd session with this guy. If you're a born loser and you're happy with that then that's your prerogative.



10 Mar 2020 11:00:29
I hate to be a conspiracy buster, but what about the penalties that haven't been given against us. The one that springs to mind is the handball against Hamilton.
And as for better 11 against 11. I hope you are meaning in a one off game, but even then you are probably basing that on the pre-break performances against them. Now is a different story. I do expect us to raise our game for the next couple of games, but I can't see how you can even suggest that we are better than Celtic.



09 Mar 2020 12:46:40
Know what guys,

Iv'e enough despair at our team going down the pan about every game since Jan without reading the doom and gloom on here .

Mind you we can find nothing to celebrate after another performance that looks nowhere near like a RANGERS team.

To be honest I'm DREADING the rest of the season (excuding Europa) as I have great difficulty in finding any forthcoming games to look forward to.



09 Mar 2020 12:52:04
This is the problem - all these blind faith loyal folks bitching at those who complain. Telling them to be positive and back the team.

BACK WHAT? A team that doesn't care, plays horribly, whose manager is out of his depth - there's nothing but crap coming from Ibrox but let's just ignore that and BACK THE TEAM

The end of critical thinking.



09 Mar 2020 13:46:43
think you have to remember the press are doing all they can to create tensions, and are now being successful. you can hear the glee in their typed words. don't fall for it. don't click on their sites.



09 Mar 2020 14:44:18
Back what?
A team that’s in the last 16 of the Europa League, playing some wonderful football along the way.
You might have wrapped this season but there’s still some enjoyment left for the optimistic left on this site. 👍.



09 Mar 2020 15:41:36
Agreed on UEL, it's a wonderful run, but it may come at such a huge cost. Still, I will admit if you'd asked me for 55 or UEL trophy this season I'd have to have gone for UEL because it's more money, it's a UCL spot, and it would give us time and cash to put a team/ squad in place next summer to stop 10IAR.



09 Mar 2020 17:17:07
1872 . so you just support a team that is winning. and playing well
Am afraid to tell you my friend that is not what being a football teams support is all about . maybe when you are under 8 but not in the real world.



09 Mar 2020 17:40:29
1872, aye you're dead certs to win europa 👌👍.



09 Mar 2020 17:57:50
Nothing to celebrate? How’s about 3 points that just may lift the players confidence ahead of an extremely difficult week ahead because let’s face it their confidence is shot to sh! t. If you’re that unhappy then don’t bother with us anymore. The rest will follow on.



09 Mar 2020 18:36:19
1872, what was your assessment of the season so far and the team and manager on the 1st January this year?



09 Mar 2020 18:57:02
More chance of winning it than your lot, Yernawsbaws, considering you've been dumped out of Europe twice this season by 2 very average sides! 😂😂😂😂😂😂.



09 Mar 2020 12:38:59
Saw Alfie come off yesterday and everyone ignored him and he ignored everyone. Had to change my pants everytime goldson was on the ball as well. Hopefull when Alfie's kid pops out, his attitude will improve. Lookin forward to pumpin the jerries.



09 Mar 2020 13:18:24
Rossco,

I for the life of me can't get to grips as to why Stevie still thinks Goldson is good enough as a defender, just like yourself I watch him through slits in fingers everytime he has the ball and I mean EVERYTIME.

Maybe he could be usefull in a different position, but where I have no idea.



09 Mar 2020 14:12:19
In rhe stands maybe?



09 Mar 2020 16:47:42
Like every other bear, I want the whole team on top form again, but watching Goldson scares me as well, you can almost see him thinking about what to do with the ball when it comes near him, and by the time he's thought about it its too late! Is it the pressure, ? I don't know, but he certainly needs to sharpen up a bit, especially this week.



09 Mar 2020 11:39:42
The worrying thing is now for me
Alfie looking disinterested.
Who is going to pay the money for him?
Maybe that's his game plan?

I fear we're a game or 2 away from an absolute hiding maybe 4-5 being put past us
And you look at the next two games coming up
Hate to say it but it could be very well the case
Ross county had a few chances today if there striker was in a better position he may well have been free to put the ball in either corner of our net

Better team today could have punished us.

Still can't see how we became so bad from winter break
Even though we had majority of ball the team still looked very amateurish against a very weak team, no offence to ross county

I'll say it now this pool of players won't bring success next season or season after
Majority have to go
But we don't have the means to bring in anything else
Unless something major happens in summer 😩.



09 Mar 2020 11:57:37
I was thinking the opposite, i. e. that Rangers are due to give a team a right hiding soon, maybe 6 or 7. Please let it be the unwashed should it happen!



09 Mar 2020 12:13:42
Would be nice Doiger lol.



09 Mar 2020 12:15:08
Where does this perception we don't have means to buy new players come from
Please explain?



09 Mar 2020 12:56:27
Doiger Hope You are correct But lately we have been a little bit of, The players need to start believing in themselves. Play like before the end off the year and the Celtic are there for the taking AGAIN 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



09 Mar 2020 13:38:39
@tilladie

Dave king stepping aside, we don’t know who’s taking his place and we’re told by board th ere’s not a lot of funds available and cash shortfalls etc etc

There is no one from the board saying we have money to spend put i that way and the books end of lat hear showing a loss?

Yes we will have European money and hopefully we make some off players who will leave but going by persistent poor performers there value is diving

Hey unless I’ve got it wrong and someone knows better
Would cheer me up for the summer so if you or anyone else knows different please elaborate?



09 Mar 2020 13:39:55
Could the problem go all the way back to how many euro games we played at start of season and from what we are hearing no rest at winter break?



09 Mar 2020 14:52:47
I don't go with this fatigue feeling, that's the business they're in, other teams in the UK play as much as us, but you don't hear them making excuses. We have to start playing ONLY those players who are showing an appetite for the games, and, it pains me to say, that this doesn't include Alfie at present, we have no room for passengers.



09 Mar 2020 11:38:21
Well a win is a win
Wasn't pretty but it's 3 points and right now I'll take that every game till end of season.



09 Mar 2020 12:38:48
Exactly stig. Complaints when we draw or got beaten rightly so but now complaints that we only won 1 nil.



09 Mar 2020 12:45:40
The complaints are because the performance was a carbon copy of the last few games. we were lucky yesterday. County almost won it.



09 Mar 2020 18:01:54
Couldn’t give a monkey about the performance. We badly needed that win yesterday if not only for a little bit of confidence back.



09 Mar 2020 11:26:21
I know we've basically given them 9iar this season. some of the performances since January have been disgraceful. we have became that team again where our opposition no longer fear us. and unless someone from rfc comes out and explains what's happened then we can only assume. and my thoughts for this imo only are.

1. Gerrard's choosing his "besties" every game regardless of their performances or abilities. and Not tactically aware when we go 1 nil down.

2. we have a captain who by his own accord saying we are no good when teams are in our faces. therefore he shouldn't wear the rangErs jersey again never mind being captain. (disgusted by that comment)

3. when you have players agents saying his clients too good for us and will be away in the summer (if anyone of them feel that then leave )

4. we have a striker who has spat the dummy because he feels he's far superior to us and wanted to leave in january)

5. kent claiming we are only at best when we are the underdogs. sorry son but this is Rangers fc. unless we are in europe we will NEVER be the underdogs.

6. when we go a goal down our heads drop and have no one on the park to egg us on (captains job)

When you accumulate all this together i can see why there's very little confidence in our team.

I could put a team together consisting of all you posters and we would all give 100 percent til the very end. my team:

Paulellen (keeper)
SGL
C OF IBROX
THE STUCK
EVERY SATURDAY WE FOLLOW
JOHN25
SEEKER
TILLADIE
MR GRUMPY
MYSELF
ED (main striker)

MIGHT NOT BE ANY GOOD BUT AT LEAST I KNOW THERE WILL BE 100% COMMITMENT WITH A NO SURRENDER ATTITUDE.



09 Mar 2020 12:14:29
Jeez, I never even made the bench.



09 Mar 2020 12:17:05
Haha agreed
But where am I on the bench 🤣🤣.



09 Mar 2020 12:17:19
Can i be captain iggle? 😂👍.



09 Mar 2020 13:41:45
Poor team wouldn’t pick 1 of you for my fantasy football.



09 Mar 2020 13:48:28
Iggle who takes the penalties.



09 Mar 2020 14:58:26
Iggle, is the fattest person in goals as it would give us an advantage straight away, AND, why am I not at least on the bench, I could score a few I can assure you, just tell me (because of age), which way were playing, as I don't own goals, good bit of banter mate, well done.



09 Mar 2020 18:05:07
I’d certainly give 100% but would probably get my marching orders mate.



09 Mar 2020 11:10:09
Hey guys don't know of any truth. My Mrs called me this morning as she was told from her boss in work who is a huge Celtic fan that the SFA are thinking of playing Sundays game behind closed doors. Anyone heard anything?



09 Mar 2020 11:16:16
Its very possible but I hope not. Irrespective of how far behind in the league we are each and every Old Firm game means something so I hope its not closed doors and we can all go support our team.



09 Mar 2020 11:36:07
MOCbear apparently their having a meeting today about it. I just think it will cause trouble and a lot of money, considering people travel from around the world for this game. And if they where to play it behind closed doors, the fans will go mad. Someone would need to fork out money to fans who paid for their ticket to the game, and also travel expenses. Well I think would be the case.

If I was to travel say from Sydney to Glasgow for this game and to be told that the game was behind closed doors I would be asking for a refund on my travel and my ticket.



09 Mar 2020 12:19:32
God could you imagine
A team in such poor form without the fans to atleast try them going
Wouldn’t like to see what the score would be
Unless it works in there favour no stress with fans expectations.



09 Mar 2020 11:02:01
It's Kevin clancy.

09 Mar 2020 08:26:04
Not seen that much media hype in Scotland over Billy Gilmour. England are all over him and rightfully so as he is a special talent. I wonder if he came through
Celtic (separate entity) ranks would the media be quiet. We won ugly yesterday but we won that’s all that mattered. Onwards and upwards hopefully.



09 Mar 2020 08:08:36
All eyes are now on the Rangers flying the flag for Scotland in Europe. I really think we can beat Leverkusen. Not saying that lightly. Obviously they are a very good team but we have shown on the European stage that we are capable. I think we need to keep a clean sheet, nick 2 off them and take it from there. We can do this!



09 Mar 2020 11:20:33
Absolutely, our European form has been really good, only taken our eye off the prize against young boys.



09 Mar 2020 07:43:32
Just reading that Kamara thought he had a good game yesterday and was back to himself. they must have played a bounce game afterwards then as the one I saw he looked not worth the 50k we paid.



09 Mar 2020 10:14:13
I thought he was ok one of our better players but certainly not back to where he was only Mcgregor and Oribo were anywhere near their best but Aribo still almost cost us a goal at least he drives forward Morelos looks well out of form but the service to him is shocking, our wing backs delivery was a disgrace also our midfield created nothing but at least we got the points.



09 Mar 2020 10:41:07
Twacoos, I know the chance you're talking about that Aribo gave away. The pass that Edmundson gave him for that put him straight under pressure though. Goldson and Edmundson were both guilty of playing our midfielders into trouble with poor passes.

Kamara did ok. Didn't do much wrong but didn't do much to influence the game either.

A win is a win. I'll take it.



09 Mar 2020 12:21:57
Mate if you genuinely believe that Kamara played to the level of a player under his 50K fee then you have no clue about football. Seriously some of the comments in here are beyond laughable.
