Forgetting for a second what other midfielder's we may possibly sign what would be everyone's Rangers starting midfield at this moment in time and that's to everyone on this site 🤔👍
25 Jul 2026 16:53:42
Pandur
Fernandez Rommens
Chukwuani, Devlin, Dio, Neil, Dragojevic, Aasgaard, Barron
Shankland Chermiti.
25 Jul 2026 16:58:26
I'd have a 3 man midfield, Devlin, Drago, and Aasgaard as the 10.
25 Jul 2026 17:01:57
Based on our current squad and assuming everyone is fit.
LCM Dio
CM Raskin
RCM Chukwuani.
25 Jul 2026 17:05:20
Coops,
GK Pandur
Def
McCrorie
Godfrey
Fernandez
Rommens
Mid
Neil
Cammy Devlin
Dragojevic
Fwd
Gassama or Aasgaard?
Shankland
Chermiti.

Difficult question Sws. For tomorrow I'd like to see us starting with Chukwuani, Dragojevic, Neil and Devlin. Would also like to see a Naderi-Shankland partnership up front to see how they get on. I know it's only pre-season, but I'm a tad worried that Chermiti hasn't found the back of the net yet, believe he's been involved in all 5 matches with 0 goals and 0 assists.
Like I say, I know it's only pre-season, but this is the time to be getting confidence up for the start of the season (next week!). Hopefully he contributes in some sort of way tomorrow.
25 Jul 2026 17:23:19
We won't play a 3 in midfield or a 10. 442 is how we will play.
25 Jul 2026 17:23:39
EHL, are you basing the midfield on the fact you think those 3 are better than what we've brought in or the fact the new players need time to settle and haven't played a lot of games with each other?
25 Jul 2026 17:32:10
Box to Box, did we not play 3 in middle 2nd half when Devlin came on?
25 Jul 2026 17:35:40
Based on losing Raskin and Barron.
I'd go.
Pandur
McCrorie
Manny
New cb
Rommens
Neil
Devlin for a month, then try Drago
Chucky, unless we get Dahl
Naderi
Shanks
Chermiti
Until we get a left and right forward, I think that's our best attack.
Look at the attack they're going to have, it's a must we sign a top centre back who's been there and done it. Not a project.
25 Jul 2026 17:39:05
Until players are well bedded in and get to know the squad, I'd go.
Pandur
Sterling Godfrey Fernandes Rommens
Shankland Chukwuani Devlin Curtis
Naderi
Chermiti
Devlin to cover for Rommens/Curtis, being a bit more free to attack.
Any way you build a team, it's clear we need wingers and we have plenty of options middle and up front.
25 Jul 2026 17:49:11
Think Ehl has hit the nail on the head.
This question from the OP has made me realise that we are not ok in midfield, despite having a glut of midfielders.
25 Jul 2026 17:51:46
Mciness plays 442, 433, 352 in periods of the same game.
25 Jul 2026 17:52:37
Box to box (Coldo), we play 442, we don't win the league. Teams will run over our midfield with ease.
25 Jul 2026 17:53:54
Forever, are you serious playing Shankland left or right midfield? Devlin to cover Rommens or Curtis? Have you watched any of these players?
25 Jul 2026 17:59:54
My 3 starting midfielders at this moment in time would be Dragojevic, Devlin and Neil. 👍🇬🇧
25 Jul 2026 18:00:23
Based on those likely to be involved and fit, current starting line up would be
Pandur
Sterling, Godfrey, Fernandez, Rommens
Neil, Dragojevic.
Antman, Shankland, Curtis
Chermiti.
Not a big fan of Antman but he's the only natural starter on the right wing unless we play McCausland.
25 Jul 2026 18:09:54
GMW, just basing that on what I have seen now the players.
Only seen Neil once and wasn't wow'd and have never seen Drago.
Outside of those, I'd say that was our strongest 3 as I wouldn't put Devlin, Barron, Cameron, Bajrami or Thelo ahead of them.
25 Jul 2026 18:32:38
This doesn't make good reading. I've got no idea what formation or team he's going to try and patch together.
25 Jul 2026 18:35:56
Peterpan loyal is cheating with 12, probably still wouldn't win the league. 🤣
25 Jul 2026 18:43:35
Pandur
Mcrorie Godfrey Fernandes Rommens
Drago Neil Chuckwana
Aasgaard Naderi Shankland Chermiti
These players, but don't know which formation, don't really care, just play good football as poss and win.
25 Jul 2026 19:22:34
EHL, very interesting.
My first thought when I saw your preferred 3 was how far we've fallen in recent years.
Dio, Raskin, Chukwuani (maybe cost £10M?)
Vs
Kamara, Jack, Davis (£50K)
The latter one's out on top every time for me.
25 Jul 2026 20:11:05
TJBB56, that team would dominate, especially because there are 12 players in it.
25 Jul 2026 22:36:58
442 will win us league. 💪😉👍
26 Jul 2026 00:38:14
Ehl is basing it on his own personal opinion, which was the question asked.
I think we're strong in mf, strong in attack, need a winger either side, a top class experienced mf, centre back not a project, not a gamble, a 28 yo experienced old school defender 6'3 or 4 and a real British defender to deal with this Celtic attack.
The only way I can see us getting what I think we need is a loan deal. We couldn't afford what we need.
I'd be at Chelsea and Liverpool.
What about Gomez? Or McGuire at Man Utd.
We need a Goldson or better.
This is where we will see we didn't know what we had tik he was gone with Conor.
We need a British cb to come into the 11, hit the ground running.
Ehl.
Do u have any suggestions who fit the bill? I'm trying to explain, mate.
Newcastle maybe? Villa? We need a player like Goldson or Weir or Cuellar.
