I honestly hope rangers sign Lithuanian ex hearts centre half marius zaliukas, he is a terrific aggressive no nonsense stopper, I've always rated zaliukas highly and on his game is the best centre half in scotland in my opinion, what do you think my fellow bears' fans?BIG RAM!

09 Sep 2013 23:08:57
@op read my post on the rumour site, it should get cleared soon would like zaliukas but if what I've heard is true then there's no chance he will be offered a contract M8

09 Sep 2013 23:28:18
@BigRam heard that rangers are ready to look elsewhere for there cb as they are really concerned about Zalukas injury to his ankle from last season that hasn't cleared up properly, they don't think he will pass a medical, now this could be someone stirring or it could just be the truth, it would make sense in why there hasn't been clubs south of the border and abroad knocking on his and his agents door? Like I said could be a rumour but also could be a fact, has anybody else herd anything else similar about this? And what about you Ed heard anything about this elsewhere? {Ed001's Note - I had heard there was an issue that required him having a trial to see if he was worth signing. I would assume it was an injury doubt, or they would just not even want to give him a trial. }

Just for you Ed that last post I copied and sent to banter from my comment on rumours was a mistake and I just realised I shouldn't have maybe done it I just wanted to respond to BigRam and not have to write it again sorry again and I hope I haven't piss*d you off and broke any rules sorry alex1972 {Ed001's Note - no worries mate, it is fine.}

Best centre half in scotland in my opinion

That's totally mental!! If he's the best centre half do you not think sombody would have taken a chance on him regardless of his injury or would still be at hearts. Give me peace!

@2, why oh why if what would have been a good deal for us falls through should we now be looking for another cb, we have enough players on the books.

You should be ashamed of yourselves, you spit the dummy out when other clubs fans have a pop at our players. then you think its ok to slate a player. Dean Shiels plays for Rangers. so support the guy. some Rangers fans need a reality check. get a grip. or go watch St Mirren or whoever. i'm gobsmacked at some of the drivel on here. Rangers, the club, the players and the fans always.

spot on mate couldn't agree more

manderson 1873

Well said Op Dean has been Called up after 2 other Rangers supporting players both got themselves Sent off with horror challenges letting down their team mates. Dean can create & score goals he's plenty good enough to play against Luxembourg get off the guys bloody back Northern Ireland have turned to him when there in need just like we may have too at somepoint this season.

@2 couldn't agree more people need to get a reality check and realise dean can't just become cr*p over night, he was nominated for spl player of the year just 2 seasons ago and then came into a Rangers team that was threw together and it took him and others to adapt to the lower leagues were he is getting Kicked in the air without little if any protection from officials, rangers fans will see a big improvement in him this season and then the higher the leagues and op
Opposition you will all see the real dean shiels and templeton for that matter! .

@2 Lafferty is clearly no Rangers fan after his shameful desertion of the club last year

@4 I take it the same goes for McGregor, Davis, Naismith, McCabe, Ness for moving on to a new challenge rather than jumping on the Charlie's touring Circus we couldn't afford them apart from the last 2 that's just it. Good luck to them all in what's left of there short careers. The only 2 I was gutted we couldn't keep was McCabe & Aluko but that's in the past now we have Lewis McLeod & Nicky Law plus Full Internationals such as Sheils, Wallace & Peralta I'm more than happy with that.

Larky Bear

Agree with @5 people forget all these players could have left as soon as we went into adminastration but took a cut in wages to help the club. after admin no way could we pay all they wages even for a month. steveblue

@5 yes the same goes for them too traitors the lot of them and players that will never be welcomed back at Ibrox. Your right we couldn't afford them but they could have transferred over and negotiated clauses in their contracts to allow them to leave if a bid of £500k came in. That way the club would have got some much needed income at a time when it wasn't certain the club would have survived. Naismith is clearly the worst though for holding that press conference declaring Rangers dead

@6 actually it wasn't as straightforward as that as Greg Wlyde found out. He left the club and went to Bolton but wasn't able to play that season. The English FA would register him so its quite feasible that the players wouldn't have got another team and could have been left with no club and no money coming in. Even a wage cut meant they were still getting some money in

Or go watch Saint Mirren?! Charmed I'm sure. Although we are likely to meet you next year if our wonderful run of form continues.

LLSMFCF

No offence intended to St Mirren or their fans. but they are struggling to get a result. always had a wee soft spot for the buddies. see you buddies when the Rangers are back where we belong. the all singing all dancing Spfl

11 Sep 2013 04:07:13
There are 2 sides to this story about traitors, I totally agree that the likes of lafferty left without so much as a backward glance, a dog of a man, as proved by his intentional sending of for NI on friday so he wouldn't have to be available to travel to luxembourg on Tuesday,
Lets get this straight, Steven Naismith has neither the knowledge nor years to decide our club died, he has no rights whatsoever to make that statement, we stood by him thru injury after injury, and paid him well too, what he said was a disgraceful way to leave our club, and he can greet all he wants when the time comes when we are back, he has burned his bridges, the tens of thousands of RANGERS fans will decide if our club is dead, not Steven naismith,
And we are a long long way from dying, Good luck to the Glasgow rangerrs,,

The Great Divide?

Not so long ago it was Rangers Football Team who was apparently in bed with the establishment and in particular the SFA and the SPL.

Whilst all this was going on the darkside where up in arms with the SFA, remember Mr O'Neill on the steps of Hampden declaring 'Would you have done that to Rangers?', and later wee Fergus trying to buy a London club by the back door. The darkside during this period became more and more Irish, less Scottish and definitely not British, going as far as refusing to salute the British Troops.

How things have changed, celtic is now the hero, Lennon can do no wrong (although he still gets angry - at what?), an ex manager in charge of the Scotland Team, and his second in command an ex player (both who also played for Aberdeen their feeder club!) and an ex player as the under 21 coach (why are the papers not calling for his head! We were unlucky at 4-0), and Lawell, yes Lawell has joined the SFA!

They have gone on a journey in Europe, albeit as they do not have a challenge in Scotland, and can afford to put all their eggs in one basket, as no Rangers to challenge them.

The Famous Glasgow Rangers need to have a board and a Chairman that can amend these broken chains with The Establishment and restore order, as it should be, and bring in the necessary funds whilst ensuring that we have a team capable of hitting the ground running and win the top league in Scotland and forward into Europe.

Ally must ensure that he gets the maximum effort from his team at every game this season and beyond. He must ensure that maximum points are taken with as many goals as is humanly possible.

I want this team to set world records both in points and goals scored. They must play to the whistle at all times.
This will put the team under extreme pressure and help them adapt to the environs of the upper leagues.

We are all in this together. We must give the team maximum support.

Matt Crozier

Ha.

i read most of your posts and they are comedy gold and this is also total genius, are you steve coogan?

keep up the good work making us all laugh.

shona baird airdrie

Think you need to take your medication, folk like yourself that are holding your club back.

Pmsl. aye the hoops run scotish football. NOT!. 1 personic post once again mr crozier keep up the good work ma man, or are you a teenager? steffany

09 Sep 2013 18:36:02
Mr or Master crozier. you bring laughter to another dull day. keep up the good work your dillusions and absolute piffle really brighten up the gloom of everyday life. JohnnyG

p. s. if memory serves me right when Mr Smith was Scotland manager and aunt sally was his assistant did they not Walk away to "rescue" your club and the other ex manager of yours that was Scotland Manager ( Big Eck) did he not walk away also to manage in England.?

Well said martin luther/matt crozier. steveblue

At least our manager has dignity not like lennon who acts like a child when he doesn't get his own way and rangers make everyone welcome at ibrox and you people know what i'm talking about

09 Sep 2013 19:03:13
6. Having more dinity than Lennon isn;t much of an achievement likewise with Lennon being a better manager than Ally, not saying much is it?

@6: I remember going to watch Liverpool in a friendly at Ibrox just after Robbie Keane signed. We were booed for singing Fields of Anfield Road and Keane definitely wasn't given a cordial welcome by the vast majority of Rangers fans.

Take lennons millions off him and leave him with 6 players and see if he's better than ally

9. )?

I'll think you'll find that Ally was left with only three first team players -

Alexander, Wallace and Big Jig.

Lemmie had to rebuild a million (s) pound team from a million (s) pound team - simples!

Matt Crozier

@10: pointless argument - it's not Lennon's fault that McCoist was left with that. McCoist also had cash to spend and was left a good team before admin but managed to lose a lead. Or did you conveniently forget that?

09 Sep 2013 21:21:38
OMG! First time on here and as a fan of the champions I have to admit if i'm ever in need of a good laugh as pick me up after a s*** day at work its reading one of these crozier posts! To the honest rangers fans out there I genuinely feel sorry for you that complete delusional people like this are exactly the type that no club needs! Still keep it up matt, i'm sure if you keep trying you might get something right, might!

It is an ability of humankind how we can write and rewrite history to suit our needs.

ie.

Some say the moon landings never existed.

Some say the holocaust never existed.

Some say that aliens exist.

I say that my team, The Famous Glasgow Rangers were dealt a disgraceful card by ALL in Scottish Football, in particular the silent ones, who stated that they did not believe in getting involved in other footballing business, but felt it necessary to write a disparaging letter to the SFA.

During that disgraceful period that The Famous Glasgow Rangers were fighting all and sundry, Ally McCoist had to try and lift his team, however, the rumours were rife that the club were going to fold and no salaries would be paid. Can you imagine what this would do to the football team? This team who were 18 points clear and coasting over Mr lemmons rebuilt supertroopers. Well it was catastrophic, they collapsed. Hardly surprising as the media was full of doom and gloom scenarios regarding what was going to happen To The Famous Glasgow Rangers. The illegal leaking of the tax case caused untold damage to my great club, the most successful club in the history of football, and contributed in the capitulation of the team. The perpetrators are still at large, but I can hazard a guess at their footballing persuasion and allegiance.

In all of this only one club - one club, has had any benefit. Wonder who?

Their manager is now being hailed as a hero, a genius, a kind of wunderkind!

You have to laugh, really at how this has come about. All of Scotland has been taken for a ride. All of Scotland has been brainwashed.

Mind you, what goes around comes around!

Given a level playing field, we all know what will happen.

We will prevail.

Mr lemmon is standing on the shoulders of GIANTS and they do not like it - they are going to bite his bum!

@11 Craig whyte never gave Ally any money to spend remember the 7 bids for 1 player which still didn't hit the £1.8m mark. Ally had work with players he got for free after administration except temps he is the only player we have paid for in the past few years and even at that we didn't hit the £1m mark. Lennon had a good team, then took the players rangers went after ok looking at it now the players made the correct choice but still followed rangers targets the same I'm sure rangers done to Celtic in the past. As for lawell being on sfa board don't think he should be there when still incharge of Celtic!

If aberdeen are celtics feeder club! Who have celtic signed from aberdeen in the last 5 years rfc have had more

@10 your wrong as both Goian & Bocanegra played for this first month of the season plus Edu was available but wasn't played

Sorry Matt, but after Shona Baird's reply above everytime I read your posts I imagine the voice of Alan Partridge, pmsl! Keep them coming. Hilarious!

I'd bet my last £10 that this Matt guy is a smelltic fan. probably there ed at another one of his wind ups

Alpha papa!
Sorry matt why why why. Are you sure your paranoid rants are miles away from anything close to the truth, shame as I know a few decent fans being from airdrie. Just a few but you my boy are miles out

Shona baird

"I say that my team, The Famous Glasgow Rangers were dealt a disgraceful card by ALL in Scottish Football"

Matt surely this should read "I say that my team, The Famous Glasgow Rangers were dealt a disgraceful card by ALL who have and are running the club. "

Scottish football never put you into administration, Scottish football never made all those players walk away, Scottish football never sold your club for a £1, Scottish football never withheld Rangers tax & NI, Scottish football never put you into liquidation, Scottish football never asked for account so that you could join the bottom tier. In fact Scottish football has bent over backwards to help your club remain in existance.

Ian

@11: what about all the other SFA board members who are on other clubs' boards?

Matt, when you brought up brainwashing in your post 13 I was skeptical. I believed that the human brain was just too complex to be deviated from its beliefs so easily by another person. However, I looked through your old posts for some evidence of your claim and you have proven me wrong.
Matt, you can trust me, I'm a doctor and I have some bad news for you; have been brainwashed - by an animated meerkat. Simples.

Al (the original one)

p. s. I have to agree with poster 18, although I wouldn't have used such a juvenile disparaging term as him. So when are you going to come out as a Celtic fan?
@18, could you maybe try to be a little more inventive with your name calling. It shows the same level of intellectual skill as you manager's managerial skill.

09 Sep 2013 13:24:26
I do not see a new Ibrox

I do not see a new manager

I do not see new fans

I do not see a new training ground

I do not see new supporters clubs

I do not see new fanzines

Simples.

I was a Rangers Fan then!

I am a Rangers Fan Now!

Simples.

Matt Crozier

And who's arguing? This is just sloganism, not banter.

1 QUESTION. ok mr cozier. Why has your club not lodged legal claims v every media outlet who printed in BOLD PRINT that the history was over, brand new club etc. so if a much needed cash injection is needed there its there millions too be maid in law suits, yet none lodged,. simples,, steffany

Matt, you need to stop with this nonsense mate. At the end of the day, everyone has accepted that Rangers is still Rangers. Our fans, media, pundits, journalists, the vast majority of opposing fans (aka the decent opposing fans) and of course ex players from Celtic, Rangers you name it. They have all accepted the truth.

The only ones who haven't are the pathetic, bitter fans of CFC and other clubs who can't do it simply because they want to hang on to any thread they possibly can to take their clubs ahead of us in the pecking order. The reality is that they know as well as we do that Rangers is and always will be the biggest and most successful football club in Scotland.

Let them continue to spread their hate and lies. It's sad yet hilarious and if anything we should all be feeling sorry for them.

Good post rangers then rangers now rangers forever

3. ) Q --> The Dream Team

This was posted in response to an earlier post (since removed?) that alluded to our glorious club The Famous Glasgow Rangers being a new club.
