Priority for January really needs to be adding experience, creativity and physicality to the squad.
We are massively lacking in those three areas. For one window I'd like us to forgot about trying to find and mould the next sellable asset and just focus on what can immediately improve our ability to win games.

Here, Here Scotty ?.
21 Dec 2025 20:18:29
Priority this window needs to be moving players on - we're building a squad of players who know they don't have a future at the club which brings the whole squad down.
I agree with the profile we need to bring in though.
Priority positions remain GK, LCB and CDM for me.
21 Dec 2025 20:23:02
Agreed Scotty. At times it looked as though Hearts were just waiting to pick up second balls - they out muscled us all over the park.
We need experience, leadership and physical presence - creativity could come from within the squad if we had more bite.
21 Dec 2025 20:35:22
U got a point EHL. Think there's a few that know they're gone ( the red list) and it shows.
21 Dec 2025 20:40:24
Scotty creatively is a must we create next to nothing how many chances did we create today virtually zero the same for months how many chances did Hearts create way more than us anywayif you don't create you won't score.

We have 2 shots at goal in the whole game and somebody thinks centre back and defensive midfield is a priority. We do need that but if we don't find some creativity either on the wing or midfield and at least one striker then we can forget even third. Rotating those three dumplings up front is killing us and the lack of a creative ball carrier like the much maligned Kent or Cantwell means that we are struggling to even get up the pitch in these type of games.
After that I would be quite happy to bring back Kent and Aribo, they would walk into that team.
21 Dec 2025 20:53:28
That as well EHL and your correct.
On something you said earlier and in relation to a segment that Rohl mentioned in his presser on Friday.
You said in an earlier post that players are scared to make mistakes, Rohl spoke about players being targeted need to have a mental strength.
That needs to be the way for our club as players will always make the odd mistake during a game but they can't hide.
For me having the character to play for our club is vital and we have overlooked that quality when recruiting players.
Potential or having a bit of ability is only a part of it.
21 Dec 2025 20:55:39
EHL, I know you have championed Rohl before he was appointed. The basis for you wanting him seemed to be his status and standing as a highly rated young coach. When you look at our European and big games in Scotland like semi against Celtic and Hearts.
Can I ask you are you still convinced he has the minerals, respect and status as a leader to get us back to winning in Scotland.
Also get back to competing in Europe in the manner of the previous five years. In your capacity as a coach in the game could you respectively inform me of all the reasons that convince you he will be the huge success you think he will be. Your positive thoughts would be much appreciated.

Agree we need to reduce that Squad. We need to bring in 3 starters with the view of replacing our captain. Start building a squad for next season as this season apart from the cup and a couple of old firm victories is gone. To many players are turning up like workers seeing out their last 6 months on fixed contract. ?.

ST has to be top priority the difference in level between hearts strikers and ours today is shocking. You would think they were the team that had spent 12m plus on strikers.
21 Dec 2025 21:00:07
LB, RB, no6 and striker are priority, GK not priority this window.
21 Dec 2025 21:23:26
Ehl you were bullish about the squad in early season so csn I ask was that more because you'd seen them only in training or are the club doing something to hold back there quality.
21 Dec 2025 21:24:28
Any average player coming in would be a starter.
21 Dec 2025 21:30:56
The only thing we actually need to add in January is goals as we are absolutely stinking at creating/scoring chances!
21 Dec 2025 21:42:30
Ehl do us all a massive favour please and the next time your talking to anyone in the recruitment dept at Ibrox can u PLEASE suggest the name of dominik livakovic for fi mate.
21 Dec 2025 22:46:00
Very poor summer recruits and some need moved on in Jan. Aasgaard, Rothwell and Dowell a must for me. I see nothing in them. Hopefully get 3/4 in and 5/6 out at least.
22 Dec 2025 04:42:25
1980 I can see Aasgaard going back to where he came from in loan. Rothwell is going Sheffield is he not? Deals signed. Dowell another who's definitely away soona s it opens
I hope to be rid of Gassama and Matondo too. Hopefully Danilo and Miovski or Chermiti
Antman can go if we get the bid
I think we're going to have a more hectic January than what we had summer.
