29 Nov 2025 06:38:45
Im amazed in the number of people that want old players back, yesterday alone we've had calls for Sima, Cerny, Morelos, Katic, Kent and Barasic.
I would rather look forward instead of back.

There are plenty of good players available in the market that we can afford yo bring in without the old guard who many called out as a waste of a jersey week in and week out on here.

29 Nov 2025 09:33:41
I would agree, a lot seems to be basing on what they did a number of years back. When the sima option came out my gut reaction was he is not doing well or starting at Lens. So is he good enough to come back? We bought Miovski on what he did at Aberdeen. That's not worked out yet.

29 Nov 2025 09:44:12
Big difference with Miovski and Sima, Sima has already proved he can do it in a Rangers jersey, he done well last season, he's maybe not suited to the way Lens play, personally i would be over the moon with a front three of Sima, Morelos and Cerny, but it won't happen.

29 Nov 2025 09:48:42
Past success doesn't guarantee future performance of a similar level. Would rather look forward.

29 Nov 2025 10:15:41
I agree jfm, although i would make an exception for cerny and sima mate.

29 Nov 2025 10:23:46
Why would you not want players back who are proven successes in our league, and are still young enough to be successful again?

There is not one current player anywhere near the quality of Sima, Cerny and Alfie! If (never happening) they signed, our starting 11 automatically goes up several notches in quality. Are you against that? Is it not more of a risk to bring in players with no experience of our league? Look at the last few matches?

29 Nov 2025 10:27:49
Morelos? You've got to be joking?

The same Morelos that has failed everywhere he's been and been dropped for being overweight or other attitude issues like not training properly. Or the same Morelos that hit someone whilst drink driving? Sorry but Morelos was a problem first time around, we don't need these problems again.

29 Nov 2025 10:35:14
New signings doesn't guarantee "future performance" either, Fork!

Look at all the failures we have had since the last season on the SG days?! We have had much more failures than successes, so your arguement is just as risky as out arguement. However, we know these guys can play, score, and have experience of being successful in our league, so I would say they're a much safer bet to succeed.

29 Nov 2025 10:52:13
Boomerang failed? He is doing well right now and won a treble in a better league than ours last season.

29 Nov 2025 10:56:37
Correct but why do u want a drink driver with a damages claim to come.

29 Nov 2025 11:05:17
Past success means nothing. Where are they now. Are the still playing well and at a level that we need. Doesn't matter what they have done in past. It's not relevant to now. Yes they may no the club and what it stands for but means nothing if the above mentioned is not there.

29 Nov 2025 11:05:48
Also would the club want him, sima isn't getting minutes, will he be as gd, and by all info on here cerny wasn't interested in staying, by all means in form and no baggage, yes, but as I said I'd prefer to move on.

29 Nov 2025 11:06:38
**that was meant to say "last few batches" not matches**.

29 Nov 2025 11:39:02
Ssfc if we got the dima and cerny that we got first time around then fine. If Sima is that good why is he not getting much game time. Cerny wanted away, I was a huge fan of Morelos and fought his corner many times but his behaviour at our club was bad enough, people gave Tom Lawrence a hard time on here because of his past history so why is it OK for Morelos.


He's had problems at every club he's been at.

29 Nov 2025 13:05:16
Sima didn't want to come back Cerny didn't want to come back so it's pointless. A lot of players don't want to play long term in Scotland. I agree with you fork. Yes those 2 are better than what we have but the problem is getting them to play here for more than a loan.

Jfm good post. I don't want Alfredo back. i backed him when he was here but I ain't massive on bringing players back especially ones that were trouble.

Why do we bring back the king of assisting the assister in kent? 🙄.

29 Nov 2025 13:05:32
Morelos has been called out and dropped at every club he has been at for his negative attitude, being overweight and lack of fitness. Every single club! He over stayed at Rangers and ruined his reputation.

Why did he never make it to one of the top 5 leagues? Put simply, he was never good enough. One or two back every player to be great but have never got one right ever. Madness.

29 Nov 2025 13:16:58
You told us the MLS and the lower English leagues are better than our league yet the vast majority of players from these leagues failed at Rangers because they are not good enough. Those leagues might be more competitive but the standard of player is not any better than our league and that includes the Colombian league.

29 Nov 2025 13:22:13
I would agree to an extent but I don't regard Sima and Cerny as going back for old players. These two guys were never our players and they did well enough that we would have signed them if we had been able to afford them at the time.

Situations change and maybe the opportunity comes again and this time we can bring them in. Depending on fitness and circumstance we should do it. I would add Tilman to that but that is never going to happen.

29 Nov 2025 13:31:18
Cerny sima came in done an excellent job moved on, would take both back in a heart beat, but alfredo morelos, really? The same guy that was around a stone or 2 overweight his last season, constant weight problems, petulant child that spat the dummy constantly
The most basic thing any player has to do is stay in shape, something he could hardly ever do for his adoring fans, we are desperate but surely not even close to being that desperate.

We also need a striker that can score against our biggest rivals regularly, not the 2/3 goals he scored against them in 5/6 years.

29 Nov 2025 13:32:45
Id take Dessers back though, with his goals some of these draws would have been wins and we could be sitting top of the league.

29 Nov 2025 13:47:22
That is nonsense boomerang, start player last season when winning a treble in a better league than ours.

29 Nov 2025 14:21:09
Star player.

29 Nov 2025 14:40:50
Its not nonsense. Morelos is nowhere near good enough that's why he's playing in an unknown South American league.

29 Nov 2025 15:13:21
You do realise his league is rated higher than our league coldo, his team won a unique treble with him being a star player last season.
The Colombia league is unknown to you? that says a lot.

29 Nov 2025 15:26:47
It doesn't matter if its rated higher, so is the English Championship. The players in these leagues are not good enough to play with Rangers. It has been proven countless times with players from England, South America and the USA failing to make it at Rangers. You have backed these leagues and players from them and not once has it worked out for you.

Cortes, Cifu, Sands and all the players you backed from England have failed in Scotland. Its all the evidence you need to know that these markets and leagues are not of the required standard.

29 Nov 2025 16:11:42
Agree with fork you have got to look forward, a lot of reminiscing because the recruitment has been poor, had it been better then the past players wouldn't get a mention.

29 Nov 2025 16:32:00
Correct Rose👍.

29 Nov 2025 16:37:58
So players can't be found in England is what you're saying coldo, you're having a league ranked 11/13 in the world as unknown league, deary dear man, you're mental.

29 Nov 2025 17:21:30
Where did O'reilly come from, where did Joe Arbio coldo sure that was league one.

29 Nov 2025 17:13:28
One or two is the exception not the rule. We will struggle to find players from England on our budget. We have over paid for the duds we have. Has history taught you nothing? Far more have failed than succeeded from England's lower leagues.

The definition of insanity is doing the same over and over expecting different results. That's what you are doing by advocating these markets with one or two examples of successful players against the vast majority of failures.

Its like you saying earlier Chermiti needs a goal scorer beside him because he is not a goal scorer. Then why did we pay £8m for a striker that doesn't score goals. Its insanity.

29 Nov 2025 18:09:51
Because obviously Chermiti isn't a natural goal scorer, because you see nothing that isn't a shock for me, can't even believe I'm replying again, Coldo, more of a serious point, why do you change your username many times weekly but post about the same stuff, honestly don't think you're keeping well, not in a bad way but help is out there, you take care.

29 Nov 2025 19:02:59
What use is an £8m striker that isn't a natural goal scorer😂😂

What did we pay £8m for? to win a couple of headers or a few nice touches😂😂.

29 Nov 2025 02:27:03
Dijga for me has again, this week, reiterated the absolutely awful recruitment from Thelwell.

A scare that was responsible for Livingston goal (criminal) and Braga goal.

Think is. that if you look up his stats on Wikipedia. it shows.

That we signed him an expensive loan - player who has NEVER had a first team game in British football, just because Wolves signed him the end of January 2025 window on a long deal. but never played him.

Would also say that Max Aarons will turn TWENTY SIX 4th January. Has completely no positional sense whether defensively/offensively, whether left or right back. Plays like a wee primary school "player".

Hopefully the loans include an option for us to send back in January. but if the parent club doesn't want them and got a season long contract with Thelwell on that basis, we might be stuck.

29 Nov 2025 03:49:56
Aarons had a fairly decent game against Braga so I'd keep him till end of the season just for cover.

29 Nov 2025 05:20:18
Dijga was touted as the next carlos cuella after his first game or 2. Tbf he did look the part. Weird how he went on a downer so quick. Same as Antman n Gassama. Makes me think there's something toxic deep rooted within the club. Fan pressure with is unparalleled? Who knows but we need a big January window 😅😅.

29 Nov 2025 06:36:22
he has played for wolves/in british football before (don't think that's entirely relevant as a lot of our signings who aren't performing have) and he came from a league and a team you would think would transfer well over into our league/team in red star belgrade.

i had absolutely no problem with the Djiga singing, thought it would be a good one but its just not working from him. An international player who's played most of his senior football in the serbian league at a team playing for league titles and trophies (of which Djiga won 4 in 2 years) who wolves signed for 10 million seemed like a good signing on the face of it.

29 Nov 2025 07:10:07
BBJ- Only for cover as Aarons looks back for safe pass every time - rarely takes man on and final ball is debatable- he is one I certainly don't want to stay and his area needs improved on🤔Only stand out with potential at back is Cornelius and he is gubbed for a while 😫.

29 Nov 2025 07:20:22
Djiga is having a horrendous loan time with us and for both parties it would be best if it's cut short in January.

When a club goes through a squad overhaul it's fairly common when you sign say 10 players+ you get a mixed bag of results.

Some hit the ground running some take time to adjust to the league pace ect.
And some just don't work for whatever reason.

On this occasion only Gassama has showed glimpses of promise and has potential to be a good signing in time.
Rest have been failures
I wouldn't put Cameron or Fernandez in that bracket because they have barely played for us yet.
Which is strange considering how poor Aasgaard has been Cameron deserves a run ahead of him all day long.

Personally I think Thelwell and co thought of the SPL as a joke and buying guys from English lower leagues would walk this league at a canter.
This is clearly and very evidently been shown how wrong they were.

It's very easy to just shout the defence needs
Fixed which it clearly does but that is not our only problem unfortunately.
We have zero creativity in the team and when we do create anything we don't have guys who can finish.
We've scored 17 goals in 12 league games that is horrendous.

So it's not just a defence issue it's all over the park.
Do we cut short the loan deals in January?
Do we try loan guys like Rothwell out?

How we fix this is simple move on the bad players bring in good players but obviously it's not as easy as that.
We have guys on long term deals ect getting shot of them especially in January won't be feasible in some cases others might still have some suitors in the championship you'd imagine IE. Aasgaard Rothwell
Either way January is going to be huge because as stupid as it sounds there is a long way to go in the league and a Scottish cup to play for.
A few proper players in the door could make a huge difference.

29 Nov 2025 13:29:51
Djiga is so bad he is actually a step down from Robin Propper. Forgetting his spell at Wolves, he has experience in other European leagues so he's no raw youngster but he plays like one. Nobody was calling him the new Cuellar, right from day one he was slack in possession and completely lacked awareness of what is going on round about him.

The red flag with the recruitment team should have been, why didn't Wolves want to keep him this season when they were rejigging their defence especially when you see what they have got playing there. He may have cost £10million but we all know the EPL clubs have more money than sense. He is the defensive version of Chermiti.

29 Nov 2025 13:37:47
We haven't got a mixed bag though alex none of them are good enough mate, unless your seeing something i don't?

28 Nov 2025 20:58:06
Victor Orta ex Leeds is fav for role as sporting director.

28 Nov 2025 22:55:58
Just read his profile, doesn't fill me with confidence, F**cked up mre than been good, these sporting directers seem to be like career politicains that just take a wage and move on to another disaster. I wouldn't have on, a good mamnger is all you need with the correct support.

28 Nov 2025 23:45:08
Can't see that ows, he never done a good job at Leeds.

29 Nov 2025 00:24:44
No he's not.

29 Nov 2025 00:25:49
DOF is a waste of a wage. Spot on.

29 Nov 2025 13:10:20
Yeah that's why all majority of big clubs and every epl one have them windy but you know better than all these clubs 😳.

29 Nov 2025 15:59:07
Thorntonsuite according to Rangers review and a bookies he's the 3/1 fav.

28 Nov 2025 18:30:15
Cant believe how pig headed Theiwell was basically turned down what barry Ferguson thought best in the transfer market a guy who knows Rangers knows Scottish football worked with the team. Then didn't want to meet billy Davis whose advice would of helped so for me this shows what a big head the guy was.

We as fans as well as any Scottish football fans knows buying several players from the English lower leagues does not work that has been proved over the years but this guy did exactly this why? Because he didn't know any of this he knows nothing about what's haped in the past which proved he was in the wrong movie.

This guy genuinely thought he had come up with some cunning master plan that nobody had thought of yet this shows how absolutely clueless the guy was.

28 Nov 2025 18:53:27
Brought Barry in to assess the squad then didn't take his advice. Pointless exercise.

28 Nov 2025 19:14:55
And Barry Ferguson has proved to have great credentials in football management i think not.

28 Nov 2025 19:17:22
Delano u serious about Davi's. Probably on
Y thing Thelwell got correct.

28 Nov 2025 19:50:20
I get the argument about Ferguson but Davies has done nothing in football for years and appears every now and them with some story to get his name in the papers. Last season he was putting himself forward as manager I can't stand Thelwell but don't blame him at all for not talking to this Rangers legend ( in his own mind).

28 Nov 2025 20:12:06
Maybe Thelwell heard about the parties and company Davies keeps and decided no thanks.

28 Nov 2025 20:54:09
Ferguson wanted mulligan shankland and cerny.

28 Nov 2025 21:06:11
Billy Davies? Feck off.
Stevie Cerny didn't want to come back so it's irrelevant that he wanted him.

28 Nov 2025 21:52:30
Storm did he tell u that mate?

28 Nov 2025 22:23:02
Im not sayimg he should listen to billy Davis i don't like the bloke either My point is that just it just shows how Theiwell just refused any advice and was so arrogant he thought it would be easy.

And as for Barry he does no Scottish football and Rangers so his advice would be valuable if you were new up here i really don't understand the hate he gets on here.

28 Nov 2025 23:16:34
It is not hard to find the opinions of what went wrong in Thelwells previous jobs

Every time the fans come back with poor recruitment

We simply didn't do our homework just like Thelwell didn't cone to Rangers prepared.

29 Nov 2025 13:12:43
Great response.
