Rangers banter 10

12 Jan 2026 21:08:15
No idea what Szoboszlai was doing for Barnsley goal, trying back heel 3 yards from own goal.
Also didn't really celebrate when scored with rocket shot for first goal. Also should have given away a penalty.
Question for Ed is something going on with him as for me been best player for Liverpool this season.

{Ed001's Note - not sure what you mean by something going on with him sorry, could you explain that for me? His big weakness has always been casualness, he has a tendency to do something like that every game. A sloppy pass or a trick in the wrong area when there is no need, he is just so confident in himself and sometimes it can become overconfidence.}

13 Jan 2026 09:19:32
He is a baller, not some tactical boring player in a system

brilliant to watch.

{Ed001's Note - I fully agree with that, I love him as a player.}

13 Jan 2026 10:49:20
He didn't look his normal self especially after scoring a great goal no celebrating. Wondered if not happy at Liverpool.

12 Jan 2026 21:15:50
If anybody needs any more info in the run in/ CL qualification for winners go give Scotlands coefficient video on instagram. Explained very well along with minimum earnings.

12 Jan 2026 20:20:45
Stig i really appreciate your post pal. I don't want to go into it, but going through a lot in my life just now, feel like it maybe was showing in my posts, especially to mystar, sorry if you felt I was mystar or anyone else. Decided to take a we step back, not completely just not as much. Happy new year stig, thanks again mate.

12 Jan 2026 20:45:37
Take it easy mate.

12 Jan 2026 20:49:38
Boy blue, I hope everything works out for you, pal.

12 Jan 2026 20:55:14
BB4 understand what your saying mate
Glad you have came in tonight to say hello

Please keep in touch we have spoken on here for a long time mate
So don't be disappearing on me💙❤️

I'm here anytime mate for a chat or just to talk nonsense as always 😅.

12 Jan 2026 21:16:43
BB4 take care my friend, I know we have had our differences in the past but I would like you to know I am here if you would like to talk.

12 Jan 2026 21:28:57
BB4, this place is double edged most days, when life is tough and you need a break from it all it's great to have somewhere to go to chat to like minded people, it gives you some down time and can even lift your spirits. The double edged comes in by a few users who don't give you that and seem just to go out their way to throw their toys out the pram and spoil it for others.

Don't ever apologise if you've bitten back at people, everybody does it from time to time.

Take care of yourself mate and remember you've got a lot of online mates on here who look forward to hearing from you.

12 Jan 2026 21:46:24
Boy blue all cool, you take care mate 👍.

12 Jan 2026 21:50:58
Take its easy BB4. I hope all is ok. Take a breath and come back when you are feeling btr. All the best 🫡.

12 Jan 2026 22:19:07
BB4 you look after yourself. U r one off the best on here.

12 Jan 2026 22:19:16
Sorry to hear that, take care mate.

12 Jan 2026 22:26:34
Take care mate your health is more important all the best.

12 Jan 2026 22:28:52
Take care my man.

12 Jan 2026 22:29:36
Best wishes and hope things improve for you. Keep well.

12 Jan 2026 22:47:02
Guys thanks so much to each and every one of you, i really mean that, the support on here at times is unreal. Your a great group of lads thank you 💙.

12 Jan 2026 22:58:24
BB4 as John says you are one of the best on here.

Genuinely are a very good guy who I certainly did not understand before.

Let's get back to what we do best and push on for this title.

12 Jan 2026 23:55:26
And brining up the rear is the horse. You have a band of brothers here. Hope what ever is going on, gets sorted. You are nearly as good as fork with your posts. By the way fork, hope you are in a good place to mate.

13 Jan 2026 05:13:42
Keep your chin up Boy blue and we're always here for you on here pal 🙏You take care my friend and look after yourself 🙏.

13 Jan 2026 06:00:30
How dare you refer to us in here as a great group of guys 😂😂 jokes aside bud. You know I've had issues and it does effect you at times but just keep your head up mate and hope you get yourself sorted and can get back posting. Take care bud 🙏👍.

13 Jan 2026 06:23:22
Take care mate. One of the most genuine people on here.

13 Jan 2026 10:51:06
Take care BB4.

13 Jan 2026 11:31:23
Thanks guys 💙.

12 Jan 2026 19:23:50
🚨🔥 EXCL | RB Salzburg, Rangers, Copenhagen and Olympiacos are all pushing to sign DAC Dunajská Streda winger Damir Redzic.

The 22-year-old Hungarian has impressed in Slovakia, scoring 7 goals in 14 league appearances so far this season. 🇭🇺💫

From rudy galletti on twitter.

12 Jan 2026 20:33:51
This would be a coup.

12 Jan 2026 20:48:00
ASO and this lad would be tremendous business 🤞😁🤞.

13 Jan 2026 05:16:11
Bigtrfc, i think it's only if we don't get skov olsen that we'll move for the hungarian young winger damir redzic mate 🤔 Romaine Mundle also an option 🤔.

12 Jan 2026 17:32:39
News breaking there that real madrid have sacked head coach xabi alonso and have approached Glasgow Rangers for permission to speak to Danny Rohl 😲.

12 Jan 2026 17:50:06
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

12 Jan 2026 17:54:13
Dont do that to us. They've already appointed ex player as new coach lol.

12 Jan 2026 17:54:28
Sws just stop it right now mate 😁, Rohl would knock back the Madrid job😉.

12 Jan 2026 17:54:31
Don't mean 2 burst your bubble but they have put the b team manager in charge.

12 Jan 2026 17:55:32
lol SWS, Arbeloa just been appointed.

12 Jan 2026 18:04:08
Is this April 1st?

12 Jan 2026 18:04:23
Never happen, the daddy cool melody cannot be sung in Spanish, 😛.

12 Jan 2026 18:04:50
Seems unlikely but if true, permission denied. Danny has to prove himself with a team like us before thinking of moving to elite level clubs.

12 Jan 2026 19:09:34
Walter, that did make me LOL.

12 Jan 2026 19:42:14
would we do a swap with cash for us 😉.

12 Jan 2026 20:58:02
That made me laugh out loud 😂😂

Nice try Coops 😅.

12 Jan 2026 15:26:36
Tav v Aberdeen was player with most tackles (6) key passes 3 and diesels won 7

He has a very good game as most of us said yesterday.

12 Jan 2026 16:34:59
Duels.

12 Jan 2026 16:44:31
About time he had a decent game.

12 Jan 2026 17:10:55
He's not half as bad as ppl
Make out on here.

I do think this should be his last season, I think due to that and with being mindful of everything he's done for this club, his goals in Europe have won us games and points more than any other player in the last 10 years. He's a legend to some and maybe not to others but imo we should all back him and treat him with a lot more respect than we as a whole do.

12 Jan 2026 17:35:03
Given Tav is OOC, Aarons is on loan and Sterling can't string together 3 games without getting injured I think Tav will sign a one year on reduced terms.

That would allow us to bring in his replacement with Tav as backup / rotation.

12 Jan 2026 17:38:47
Also gave the ball away the most - 19 times.
Only achieved 76% pass accuracy in his own half.
Only achieved 78% pass accuracy in the opposition half.
He only won 50% of those tackles ( 3 from 6 ).
We need better.

12 Jan 2026 17:39:04
His Tank looked full last night, he had a good game.

12 Jan 2026 17:53:22
A lot of people on here lately beginning to sound like buzz bomb from the darkside with the old statistic garbage, its all getting a bit tedious.

12 Jan 2026 17:58:17
Stevie firstly you are probably wasting your time but I agree he is nowhere near as bad as made out even now. Also I think it is just easier for some to agree with the crowd rather than think about how he actually plays. 8 goals and 4 assists across all competitions. If we were getting that from all our creative players we would be top.

even when we win these days there is normally at least one player who is criticised just because that is the norm.

12 Jan 2026 18:30:23
Cherry picked stats.

12 Jan 2026 18:33:04
He's definitely gone from supercharged to diesel Stevie. Couldn't believe he got negative comment after the game as I thought he played well.

12 Jan 2026 18:34:42
Some engine on him.

12 Jan 2026 18:59:46
Interesting stats though as the team successful pass rate was 79-80%.

so if Tavernier gave the ball away 19 times or 21% of the passes he made that is exactly the team average for giving the ball away.

It surprisingly also means he attempted around 90 passes out of a team total of 371. that figure seems high for our RB or any player really to make almost a quarter of the total team passes. I don't think he made that many passes from memory so checked and read on a few sites he made 41/42 passes. but if he misplaced 19 of those then his successful pass rate is just over 50%.

also re tackles as a team we attempted 29 and won 12 which is 41% so at 50% success rate he was above average. not great as a team but didn't lead to any goals so no panic.

so stats as always can spin things many ways. It is difficult to get figures so soon after the match without paying for premium sites but still the main ones readily available.

12 Jan 2026 19:15:25
The problem is at his age he needs to be managed he can't play every minute of every game. When he does he starts to look miles off it. We need to rotate him and Aaron's until Sterlings back.

12 Jan 2026 19:34:54
If he is good enough for Danny Rohl then he is good enough for me, he is always available for selection, he will always give his all, brilliant from the spot and can swing a ball in.

Been a good servant to the club over the years and all previous managers seemed to like him. Yes he is in his twighlight but if the manager wants him to stay, for me, he stays.

12 Jan 2026 20:01:47
Angus I know mate but can only try change the moods lol

Ur absolutely correct though, no matter how we play or win there's always someone getting it tight for something.

I think we're used to being bad and moaning about it that most people now look for something to come on and moan about.

12 Jan 2026 20:26:32
Speak for yourself bluesotrue, I enjoy poster's like mph giving stats. You can always swipe past mate 👍.

12 Jan 2026 22:03:14
BB4 me too actually and I like to have a look and see what else is out there.
good to see you posting tonight as well. hopefully you can continue when you want to. It can get a bit intense on here at times but we need to remember it is meant to be a bit of fun where we can all have a bit of debate and argument about the club we all support.

a difficult balance to get at times. hope it works out well and we continue to see you regularly.

12 Jan 2026 22:24:19
Bb Angus I love reading people's stats it throws a different light on a game or individual,

As Bb says anyone can swipe past.

12 Jan 2026 14:00:43
I would have Skov Olsen in a heartbeat.
Even if he is supposedly having a terrible time of it in the Bundesliga.
Which is a far higher standard than the SPFL.
Because he is still better than what we have.
League matches.
Skov Olsen:-
8 matches.
1 goal.
14% goal conversion.
85% passing accuracy in opposition half.
17% accurate crosses.


56% ground duels won.
Mikey Moore:-
17 matches.
3 goals. 1 assist.
11% goal conversion.
72% passing accuracy in opposition half.
16% accurate crosses.
37% ground duels won.
Gassama:-
22 matches.
1 goal. 2 assists.
2% goal conversion.
76% passing accuracy in opposition half.
11% cross accuracy.
58% ground duels won.

12 Jan 2026 14:08:14
Yet he is a failure MPH. We should just get Just, Watt and Gogic for our title challenge.

12 Jan 2026 14:22:12
Aphelion he was done nothing at 2 clubs out of 4, I said 50% success rate, but you can read it however you want mate.

12 Jan 2026 14:30:11
I believe this is media speculation anyway, after looking at his salary, I just can't see Rangers paying his wage, it's around double our biggest earner.

12 Jan 2026 14:38:37
Aph, do l detect a bit of sarcasm 😂.

12 Jan 2026 15:02:55
Aphe, given Olsen's struggles at Wolfsburg, I can understand people's concerns, especially with the figures mentioned for a loan fee and transfer fee. They are huge sums for us. Personally, I think he'd be a great signing and would be a step up in quality. There is however always risk and no guarantees with signings. The 3 players you mention have all been doing well in Scotland and they would possibly be a lower risk as they know the league and understand the unique nature of Scottish football.

They would also be a lot cheaper to buy and be on a much lower salary, so less of a disaster if they don't work out. I think the 3 players you mention would improve our squad (possibly not Gocic imho, but that's up for debate), where as Olsen would massively improve our first 11, so no one is necessary right or wrong here.

12 Jan 2026 15:08:14
I'd take gogic 🤣.

12 Jan 2026 15:13:43
What's wrong with Watt am sure if he was Scandinavian you would feel differently?

12 Jan 2026 15:25:18
all signings are a risk no matter how they have performed or otherwise at previous clubs. if it is a loan the. that takes an element the risk out of what would be a high transfer fee for the club. If an obligation then all it has done is nudged that fee to end of season. If he performs no issues; if he doesn't then you know the conversations.

actually if he isn't good in first two games he is considered a wage stealer 😉.
personally although it isn't sure the fact that Cerny performed similarly with the same club and came here and did will fills me with some confidence he will succeed. that and his record in similar rated leagues.

12 Jan 2026 15:34:20
Sorry, has done nothing at 2 out of 4.

12 Jan 2026 15:42:33
Olsen would be a quality signing, I personally think he'd drastically improve his numbers playing for Rangers.

12 Jan 2026 15:50:33
WATP yes sarcasm my friend, My star I have not mentioned you and have not implied I anything to do with you.

Der Hammer 1 out of the 3 i mentioned would maybe help our squad but I will ask how many clubs have they been successful at?

Skov Olson played 71 matches in Italy, hardly a failure.

What did Cerny do in Germany?
What did Sima do in England?
What has Jadon Sancho done outwith Dortmund.

Some players don't settle quickly and some clubs don't allow for it, like Wolfsburg.

He hasn't done nothing at 2 clubs. But in between the 2 clubs mentioned he had a very successful spell in Belgium.

12 Jan 2026 16:10:55
Aphe, how many clubs they have been successful at is one metric. How they are playing this season is another metric. I wouldn't rule any player out on either. The reality is, if Olsen was flying and playing really well for Wolfsburg and getting great numbers, then we wouldn't even be having this debate as he would be way beyond our reach.

I think he can be a quality player especially for us in our league, but there are never any guarantees and the risk is higher the more you pay.

12 Jan 2026 16:11:31
Newtonards not at all.

My star says Olson failed at Bologna and Wolfsburg but their are people who want us to sign Watt who was deemed a failure at Burton Albion.

Surely you can see what I mean when mentioning these players.

I will always be honest about players.
That's why I was completely against us signing Norwegian midfielder Emil Bohinen.

12 Jan 2026 16:12:56
My Star, I wonder if you remember a Danish Winger we signed a good few years back who flopped playing in Italy. I believe he and his brother were full Danish internationals.

As far as I recall, that Danish player did okay here, in fact I think he has a Scottish cup final named after him when his performance was that good he outshone someone who scored a hat trick! I am sure you, like everyone else on here, will know who I am talking about!

12 Jan 2026 16:16:45
Olsen is always the one that dies during any surface mission in star trek. But I have a good feeling about this one.

12 Jan 2026 16:25:20
DOB yes but he wasn't on double our biggest earner, that needs thought about, well it does for me.

12 Jan 2026 16:25:47
Most of the players we signed from England did nothing at their previous clubs but they played in a better league right?

Isn't Italy and Germany not better leagues than the Championship?

Somehow you have concerns about a Danish international with 40 caps and played in Italy and Germany?

12 Jan 2026 16:37:57
We can't be paying the kind of wage he is on, firstly that's how you get into bother and secondly would sow discontent throughout the squad with someone on that kind of money. What happened to being sustainable.

12 Jan 2026 16:38:24
Der Hammer I take into account players that are playing well this season. Does not mean they can be Rangers players.

Plenty players look amazing in their small pond but can't do it at Rangers.

What I can say is Skov Olson can and has more league title wins than our entire team.

12 Jan 2026 16:58:10
Skov Olson on the right deal. wpupd be a superb signing a real statement with intent in my opinion.

12 Jan 2026 17:22:57
Aphe, I agree, playing well currently in our league doesn't necessarily mean they will continue that form if they sign for Rangers (many don't), but I'd say it's a good metric. We've seen what these players can do week in week out in our league and how they cope with the speed, physicality and weather etc. I agree with you that Olsen has the potential to be an excellent signing and a real step up in quality, so I really hope we sign him, but it comes with a huge price tag and more risk than say signing someone like Tawanda Maswanhise for a much smaller fee and salary.

I'm by no means comparing the two players (as there is no comparison in quality and career) but for me it's around the level of risk and how best to spend the transfer budget we have.

12 Jan 2026 17:36:17
If we can bring him in on sensible wages then it would be an amazing signing.
Every signing has risk but he has proven ability.

12 Jan 2026 17:45:43
what money are Rangers going to pay him. he was earning high £20ks at start of Wolfsburg contract and the same at Brugge and Bologna. so he may be willing to go back to that level to come to us.


he dropped money to move to Brugge, he increased slightly originally to move to Wolfsburg. and that is according to the salary guessing sites. so people don't know.

12 Jan 2026 17:45:49
Whilst I get what you are saying my star about his wages…. that can be offset by not having Matondo, Tavernier, Davies, Rothwell, Danilo, Dowell and whoever else is on over inflated wages that may be away in next 6 months.

And if he's a game changing signing then it's worth it…. we all wanted sima and cerny who are on large sums and neither are as good as Olsen IMO.

12 Jan 2026 17:47:17
Skov Olsen is no more a risk than Chermiti, look at the outlay for him? His records hardly got the fans excited when he was signed. With Olsen u would get a seasoned international with vast experience. If a player like that is available and interested in joining then it would be pretty crazy not to explore that, he is still quite a young man as well, coming into his peak years.

Personally I think if we landed him he could be an exceptional signing, a massive coup by the club and an upgrade on our starting 11.

12 Jan 2026 18:05:32
If skov Olsen genuinely wants to come to Rangers i am sure both teams can come to an agreement that suits both parties, if its down to money other teams will be involved to pay more than us, i don't think personally we will go overboard and pay stupid money, cerny came fom the same team as Olsen, both are put in the shop window to get the best deal, olsens times up at Wolfsberg 6 month loan suits them and us.

12 Jan 2026 22:06:33
I think all the signings from the past though were meant to be part of the solution which won us the league. that didn't go so well so I wouldn't think we should consider going down the same road again in case it didn't work. we now will have a salary ceiling and won't go above it if we have any sense.

BTW I understood Luadrup was offered £30k per week for his final contract offer before he left. so we have paid silly wages for a while now.

13 Jan 2026 05:20:31
Absolutely not called for newtonards and the vast majority on here absolutely respect and rate Aphelion as one of the very best posters on this site 🤔He contributes a helluva lot to this site and for me personally i love his wealth of knowledge he shares with us, regarding the scandanavian market 👌.

12 Jan 2026 13:34:20
. big shout out to our away fans yesterday. can't get the Danny Rohl song out of my head. woke me up at 3am. our players must love celebrating in front of them. home and away.

12 Jan 2026 14:17:02
My parrot nearly got it, which hopefully stops the cursing and abuse.

12 Jan 2026 16:38:24
Could've done without the billy boys deecee.

12 Jan 2026 13:05:33
The way this season is going, the split will have a big say on the title. It often throws up an issue with amount of home v away games etc.

It is however very likely we will be away to both Hearts and Celtic and that Celtic are home to us and hearts.

12 Jan 2026 13:22:06
You're such a cynic Slimjim, but I'm inclined to agree with you.

12 Jan 2026 13:32:38
Fling Motherwell and Hibs into the play offs and it could be the most exciting end to season, hopefully we are top with a few points before split tho.

12 Jan 2026 13:41:40
I reckon 3 home 2away.

12 Jan 2026 13:43:43
We will definitely be away at Celtic as we play them next at Ibrox February will be a big month away to Hibs and Motherwell and home to Hearts bring it on.

12 Jan 2026 13:45:12
Good point but imo if it's still a three horse race for the title I don't think they'll have one team playing away to the other two.
100% we'll be at Parkhead so I think it will be
Celtic v Rangers
Rangers v Hearts
Hearts v Celtic
That way each team will have one home and one away against a title rival.

This is only my opinion if its still a three horse race.

12 Jan 2026 13:50:06
Brandy 100% Hearts won't be at Ibrox post split we won't and should not get three home games against them.

12 Jan 2026 13:57:28
Brandy, that would mean Celtic away to Hearts 3 times, and Hearts away to us 3 times.
Can see the fallout now lol.

12 Jan 2026 14:06:46
We will have played both Celtic and Hearts at home twice before the split. Depending on who gets there but likely we will play Motherwell and Hibs at home then possibly 6th place team post split.

12 Jan 2026 14:22:57
We will be away 3 home 2. Celtic 3 home 2 away. As we had 3 home last season. Changes like that every season. So likely hearts, Celtic away for us in the split.

12 Jan 2026 14:24:45
We will have 3 away and 2 at home after split it normally alternates every season and we had 3 home last season.

12 Jan 2026 15:29:39
Why does anyone get their knickers in a twist about this? Us, Celtic and Hearts will have 19 home games,19 away and each of us will have played each other twice home and away by the end of the season- if it can fall into place we will be away to teams post split we have only played once away, same for home games, as will the other clubs, there's no conspiracy or unfairness here by having to go to Tynecastle and Parkhead after the split.

12 Jan 2026 15:54:26
If top Six stays the same we will be away to Hearts and Celtic, the other three would be Hibs Motherwell and Falkirk who although all still to play a game at Ibrox a think we might have to play one away for a third time, just win all five no hassle.

12 Jan 2026 17:01:10
It's all very simple

We will have played 17 home games and 16 away games pre split.

So we have 2 home games post split and 3 away games

If table stays same home to Hibs and Motherwell. Away to Celtic Hearts and possibly Falkirk.

If the team 6 is not Falkirk, it's still an away game, that may mean we play a team away three times. Ie Aberdeen would be in this category

The rules r layed out before a ball is kicked, and would affect only our game against team six, not nearest rivals.
