Ok had posted recently on how our squad would maybe look like in the new season. Revised it now.
To keep;
Butland
Kelly
Sterling
Souttar
Fernandez
Rommens
Barron
Chukwuani
Diomande
Moore
Chermiti
Naderi
Curtis
Bring in;
2XCB
RB
LB
2XCM
ACM
RW
LW
Plus continue to progress our youth players that wee have had glimpses of (Lawson, scally, etc)
Everyone else can be sold. Squad of 22 plus youth boys to make it up to 25-26.

I don't think Butland will be here next season.
For me, priority areas would be:
RB
CB x 2
DM
AM
RW
ST.

Need to get shot of Butland. One of the worst in the league statistically for saves, scare with the ball at his feet. The amount of goals that go in down the middle of the goal is mental.
He always starts having worse howlers the closer it gets to the end of a season. Think he's full of patter as well, and talks a good game, but doesn't have the right mentality for Rangers, unfortunately.

Players needed imo minimum are the following.
1xGk
1xlb
2xcb
2xrb
2cm
2 wingers 1Lw 1Rw
1 striker
11 players needed imo.

Blue, Butland is 3rd best in the league for saves after McCracken and Prior. Try to check the stats before you just try to spout things against a player.

Having watched JB concede that og on Saturday, imo he needs replaced. His distribution is hopeless, and has caused us problems all season. He is not good at cross balls either, and, as someone else alluded to, he has lost a lot of goals he should have stopped, i.e. in the middle of the goal. We need to stop also waxing lyrical about the like of Raskin, who imo has totally underperformed for a full International Footballer.
Who we sign, I wouldn't know, I'll leave that to Danny and the powers that be, but they must show more determination than this sorry squad showed. Let's just wait and see, I think things are probably already moving.

Angus, someone put up stats before Butland was worst in league for point saving saves or expected saves above average. Something like that. He is prob referring to that, the wording escapes me.

Agree with your post, irvger. Cannot go to games any more so have to watch them on tv, and my thought about the team over the course of the season is we need players with a desire to win. There seems to be a culture within the team of just turning up and results do not matter, and if what I am reading, that players are disrupting the dressing room, get shot of them, and I think we have to strengthen the spine from defense to mid field.

Anyone who watched the Celtic game and can say they would have Barron anywhere near our midfield needs their head examined. We need much, much better in there
Would also trade in Souttar whilst we can.
Nowhere near quick enough as a modern CB
Overjoyed to see the back of Tav. Past 3 managers have all tried to get rid, and he has stayed purely because he couldn't find a club willing to match his salary.

For me i would part ways with all of the "Leadership group" at Glasgow Rangers. Although we are losing up to 10 players straight away with the loans ending of Aarrons, Djiga, Cornelius, Moore, Megoma and Skov Olsen and Tav, Dowell, Davies and Rice leaving on a free.
We have up to 9 players returning from straight loans or where options haven't been taken up in Danilo, McCausland, Cifuentes, Nsio, Wright (gk), Curtis, Hutton, Nsiala & Gentles. May be more youth that are too old for U19s.
This leaves us with a heavily bloated squad full of players not good enough that need moved on. This is only players i'd be open to keeping, happily move on the rest. Obviously i know it isn't possible to move everyone on just my opinion on who i would 100% keep:
GK -
I would keep Kelly if he was willing to stay as a #2 but he may want 1st team football elsewhere. i'd be looking for a new #1 and promote from within for a #3
DEF -
Rommens 100%
Fernandes - i would only entertain selling if it was for a club or Scottish transfer record fee.
MID -
Barron - keep as back up to a new #6, think this would bring him on further.
Chukwuani - started well, maybe kick on with a pre season amd new players around him.
LW/RW/ATT
Curtis - wee man deserves a chance next season.
Antman - still feel that with a good preseason there is a good right winger in there. His assist record before coming was decent.
Chermiti - genuinely think next season he could get 20+ with a more settled team. 1 more year then move on for profit.
Nadiri - been decent in spells and a good option.
Moore - if can get him back for 1 more year on loan it would be a no brainer for me, never be able to afford to buy him.
Moore would be the only Loan i would look to do. 6 loans this year has been a disaster.
Anyone not listed i would sell if money was right.
Antman - should get money back as a minimum, has great feet just don't see the fight in him.
Gassama - probably actually make some profit on.
Raskin - i feel he will be 1 of the first to go for decent money to kick start the rebuild.
Dio - should get decent money for.
Bajrami - heard accepted bids already around what we paid.
Miovski - think he suits a counter attacking team more might take a small loss.
Soutter, Butland, Cameron, McCausland, Cifuentes, Nsiala
I'm sure I've probably missed players out but it shows the severity of the task ahead in turning this squad around in time for the qualifying rounds in Europe during a world cup summer.

Orange,
More interested who were getting shot of TBH.

Miller Brand, if you take away the players I have mentioned to keep, you get the ones we are getting rid of, for me lol.
