If some rumours are true and there is unrest between some of our players, we undoubtedly have a very big problem on our hands ? It's alleged by some that our manager philippe clement shows favouritism towards certain players and is harder on others and that just shouldn't be happening ?.
09 Sep 2024 08:16:30
Where are u seeing rumours of unrest between the players SWS, who is alleging that PC is hard or favours others, not seen anything other than the hagi/ cantwell situation?
09 Sep 2024 08:23:53
yes and if he is harder on some players as they aren't giving enough then I have no problem with that. it happens in every job with every manager in my experience. Nothing to see here.
09 Sep 2024 08:43:53
Apologies SWS starting to see what looks like pundit assumptions, as a result of some pressers, nothing concrete, but then again smoke n fire n all that.
09 Sep 2024 09:13:06
The majority celtic biased media has us on strings. The ones who can't work this out are just being constantly manipulated by the nonsense.
09 Sep 2024 09:13:17
Fork. people can make their own fire though ;)
09 Sep 2024 09:15:36
Derek Ferguson has actually commented and picked up on this a few times Fork ?He was talking about some of our players and their body language ?.
09 Sep 2024 09:17:49
They made a big thing of Souter's presser in August when he was asked questions about getting up to speed by October and losing ground. he said yes he agreed with what the manager said but looked sheepish. that turned into there must be issues in the squad. this is the basis of lots of the poor journalism around, seeing or reading something and then putting a negative spin on it. they have always done this with whoever isn't on top between the OF. difference is social media and support believing it without research.
09 Sep 2024 09:18:24
There is no unrest just the media trying to create the illusion that there is.
Cantwell was a prima donna and is better out the club, Hagi wanted away but cannot find a club willing to match his wages, so rather than accept that harsh reality his team will look to create an alternative story the usual fall out with the manager routine . The international break has produced a frenzy of rangers stories predominantly just opinion not based on fact . The media thrive on drama and we just happen to be the fall guys, the only way to change that is to start winning football matches.
09 Sep 2024 09:20:21
Ive yet to read a positive Rangers interview from Derek Ferguson. So much so I almost forget he actually played for us at one time.
09 Sep 2024 09:25:52
Just to prove my point Football Scotland today (9 Sept) running a Derek Ferguson piece on players body language using the Souter presser from the 16Aug as their evidence. There is no new as it is international week so they keep on dragging over the old news.
09 Sep 2024 09:40:07
Derek Ferguson the man who makes a living taking money from Open Goal the propaganda arm of the Lawells.
09 Sep 2024 09:45:48
There is chater outwith the likes of D Ferguson that some players have an issue with PC.
It's common knowledge that PC has a history of falling out with players, and he lost the Monaco dressing room, which ultimately led to his sacking. However, regardless of whether our players like PC, or not, they're not playing for him, they're playing for our club and should always give 100%. If any of our players are not committed just because they don't get on with PC, then they're the problem.
09 Sep 2024 10:00:50
When you’re losing games of football everything is perceived to be an issue. PC is big on squad unity and player and fan togetherness. This is press filling spaces the other lot being obsessive.
09 Sep 2024 10:13:57
I’m guessing it’s a load of absolute nonsense and made even worse by our own fans giving this tosh the time of day, not to mention then coming on here and putting up posts about it that will then be read (and maybe believed) by other fans. This is how more and more negative stories get pushed about us and more fans end up getting on the teams back. Stop listening to the Celtic biased media making up negative ‘opinions’ on all things Rangers and then doing exactly what they want by spreading it further amongst our fan base.

Walter
DF ain't exactly in middle club anymore and story apart from being very weak was also very large in presumption. c'mon get real.
09 Sep 2024 10:47:54
Derek Ferguson Jesus Christ just a drunk is all he is now.
09 Sep 2024 11:43:02
Sunshine other than Cantwell and Hagi I've not seen anything about falling out with players. Just checked for Monaco and can't see anything so not sure it is common knowledge. Bruges were followed by TV in one of his seasons and in it they report he was always calm and measured and his voice tone didn't change. Fan forums and individual fans online seem to voice this opinion but no-one in the club does. Media trying to create headlines as we lost the OF and it is a quiet week due to internationals.
09 Sep 2024 11:58:03
I would imagine that some of them are getting it tight from the manager, hopefully its those who aren`t doing what they are supposed to be doing and not performing. A lot of the squad wouldn`t be at the club or in the team if it wasn`t for Clement. I`m pretty sure he is driven to be a success and of any of the players don`t like it they know where the door is. They might think they are but none of them are that good that they would be missed. The manager would be harder to replace than any of the players.
09 Sep 2024 12:16:27
Sunshine, I never read anything about him falling out with any player, I understand he was unhappy with Monaco selling about 200m of his players that he took from ninth to 3rd in his first season, but never read or heard anything about him falling out with any player, if he has, cool, but surely this is not another kick in the balls from you.
09 Sep 2024 12:16:53
Aye Ally that's true bud and I seen that also SWS?.
09 Sep 2024 12:34:54
Maybe Rangers just ain't good enough? Maybe the manager contributing to Rangers not being good enough.
09 Sep 2024 12:38:54
Spot on Sunshine. We just got rid of a core of players who were notorious for getting managers the sack rather than playing for the club.
09 Sep 2024 13:06:29
I think some of the Rangers players are despondent and ready to blame everyone else and not take their responsibility. They are really annoyed with those fans who went to Ibrox to complain and ridicule team . Fans need to build confidence not attempt to destroy it . Whether PC has favourites isn’t the problem, problem is general low spirits.
09 Sep 2024 13:08:50
Some of these players you speak about have been involved with unrest regarding previous managers if stories are true. Maybe pc might be harder on players who might actually deserve it. I get the impression some modern day players don’t like home truths.
09 Sep 2024 13:42:42
RabbiBurns hit the nail on the head. The constant cycle of negative attention our club received is largely made up nonsense from a pro-Celtic media.
They constantly fan the flames, whether it’s player performances, club finances, or alleged unrest in the camp.
Another example is Chris Sutton. His comments after the OF about “being really worried for Rangers” weren’t just disingenuous IMO, they were a very shrewd way to set Rangers fans against their own club.
It worked.
09 Sep 2024 14:07:33
It’s nothing new to have unrest at a Football Club the size of Rangers, The Manager can’t always please the players and the players can’t always please the Manager, It’s life, So just get on and do your best.
?????????.
09 Sep 2024 15:35:49
Derek Ferguson a nobody who is trying to be relevant, same category as McManus and McAvennie
Should ask him how he got on with souness
Exactly Newman, it’s for the manager to manage, if players like cantwell don’t like it leave, won’t end up anywhere better.
09 Sep 2024 15:36:25
I'm pretty sure every club has disagreements from players who are no longer part of the plans or up to the standards required by the new manager.
Clement will have now had time to fully assess the squad, moved on some that he didn't fancy and will also be stuck with others he doesn't trust to carry out his plans.
That is just the nature of football.
09 Sep 2024 16:05:34
Agreed most clubs will posses an element of clique (language etc. making a difference) . And in general those players least happy are the ones not getting game time. Equally success breeds confidence, and aside from a bad result in the league I don’t think the players are mutinous or devoid of hope. and I suspect a few more wins under the belt, being back at Ibrox will work wonders.
