Anyone know the type of player our new manager will look/go for to take us forward. I'm 100% over the moon McInnes has come home. Long over due in my opinion. In hindsight he should have been approached and came home last year.

He said he believes the team should have a Scottish core and that a player has to be over the moon about playing for the club (that was his philosophy at Hearts).

Oh goodie, let's fill the team with Scottish players with a Scottish manager and we can play like the current Scotland team, boring.
The only player I would currently take from the current Scotland squad is Scott McTominay which we've no chance of affording.
I will give McInnes and the team my utmost support, but let's buy the best players that we can afford no matter where they're from.

Take your point, sco11, but being Scottish doesn't make them boring either. That's totally down to Steve Clarke.

Many might disagree, but TBH, at this moment in time, Scotland clearly have better players than Rangers.

Team and Manager with a Scottish core. Did that chat not cause bother on her a couple of months back. ?????

Good wans.

Sco, so you wouldn't take Gilmour, Ferguson, Doak or even McGinn from the Scottish team, Hickey? Also, I know we can't afford them, but to just say McTominay is utter bs.
15 Jun 2026 02:31:45
Sco, Scottish core doesn't mean that the whole team is Scottish. It means that there's a handful of players that will set the culture for the squad.

Sco11, there's absolutely talented players that's Scottish, my friend. ? For instance, how many of them now are signed by Italian teams? ? There's no one saying we should sign all Scottish players, but for me we should have a spine to Rangers that knows the expectations of our club, will run through brick walls for our club no matter what, can play in our league, and be role models for talented players from different countries who it will rub off on.
? We should have a core of players who know the expectations and blend the team with other talented players, because there's a few players that's Scottish and also players that are currently playing in our league who imo would improve our team, simple as that. ? ??

9 Coops, don't think that's any great pointer tbh. They may be doing it there, but as we all know it sometimes doesn't work in our league. Different style of football imo.
Scott McTominay (Napoli) - Serie A
Billy Gilmour (Napoli) - Serie A
Lewis Ferguson (Bologna) - Serie A
Che Adams (Torino) - Serie A
Josh Doig (Sassuolo) - Serie A
Lennon Miller (Udinese) - Serie A
Kieron Bowie (Hellas Verona) - Serie A
Liam Henderson (Sampdoria) - Serie B.

Whenever we say we need a Scottish core, folk say that about filling the whole team. I honestly wonder if some people know what a core or a spine is.
15 Jun 2026 09:21:58
The Scottish core that are good enough for Rangers we can't afford, and I don't want sub standard signings just because they're Scottish.
Sco, even though he put his point across poorly, is still right. We sign players that are good enough no matter where they're from!

Sco11, Gannon Doak is more productive than any winger we have. One player I would love Derek to go for when appointed is Kazaridis.
15 Jun 2026 12:34:03
I don't know so much about Scottish, but what we do need is a goalkeeper and defence that don't gift goals. All successful Rangers teams I've seen over the years have had a solid defensive base to the team.
