Rangers banter 5

19 Apr 2026 20:14:25
Here's a question troops. I've just watched all tavs free kicks he's scored from. All time british goal scoring full back. I know we all have our options of stay or leave but correct me if I'm wrong. We paid 200k for him. Is Tav in modern times our biggest ever bargain buy.

19 Apr 2026 21:23:05
All things considered, I don't think anyone can argue with that, tbh. His number of appearances alone make him a bargain. Yes, his legs are about done, and his time is almost up, and he's been much criticised, but nobody can fault his efforts and commitment to Rangers.
I for one will be attending his testimonial and thanking him for his service to the club.

19 Apr 2026 22:06:54
Absolutely spot on, guys here here regarding the highest ever British defender goalscorer, the Rangers captain James Tavernier. 👌🇬🇧

19 Apr 2026 22:09:39
As a club, we haven't delivered enough in his time here. The fact he is still here, 10 years later, having cost so little would make me agree with your view.

19 Apr 2026 23:23:53
Tavs the greatest Ranger of the last 15 years.

19 Apr 2026 22:06:33
100% great servant of club.but when time is done time is done hope he does draw it out and hurt his memory. I wouldn't mind him staying as a back up option but not on wages he's currently on

20 Apr 2026 01:14:45
Absolute bargain he was & yes, he has his critics & maybe doesn't show captain traits as often as he should, but nobody can deny he stuck with us through some tough times when others walked away. He totally deserves his testimonial & a proper thankyou/send off from a full Ibrox.

Personally I'd give him a yearly rolling contract, kinda like Balogun & I'd start playing him further up in midfield or even RW. Like him or not, still our best deliverer into the box; just his pace & defending that's suffering as he's getting on.

20 Apr 2026 01:36:20
Davie watched all his free kicks as well on TikTok. None of them were ok, they're all absolutely brilliant. The guy has a wand of a foot. An absolute bargain and gentleman, great servant. Would love him to lift the trophy at the end of season, go out on a massive high, he thoroughly deserves it imo.

20 Apr 2026 07:09:13
I'm with you, bb4. Would be a great way to finish his Rangers career, lifting the trophy he should have lifted more. Absolute bargain and a great and loyal servant to the club.

20 Apr 2026 08:14:02
A terrific set piece expert, great technique. As has been said before, we won't realise what we had until he's gone.
Bring home 56 Tav!

20 Apr 2026 08:28:15
200k Europa League finalist captain, 1 million percent, don't even have to touch on his goals and assists lol.

20 Apr 2026 11:00:41
I don't think anyone would disagree that he has been a bargain. 👍

19 Apr 2026 19:24:49
John or anyone else that can help.

I have never hidden my lack of knowledge of British football.

Can anyone tell me which players in the SPFL and lower English leagues that are within an achievable range to find the next quality signing.

19 Apr 2026 19:46:32
Aphe, that is a very hard question. Depends on OOC, length left on contract, what we value player at, what his club value him at, what salary he wants, the list is very long.



Rangers have a ceiling in Scotland, as they don't wish to overly strengthen, say, Hearts, re Braga.

If we wanted we could pay 4 million for a player. Will we? Depends on many factors.

19 Apr 2026 19:57:15
I understand, my friend.

Personally, I have been very shocked at Braga this season.
From his time in Norway he did not show the capabilities he has now.


I like Jack Milne and Kristian Keresztez.

19 Apr 2026 20:23:01
Aph, in my opinion I'd possibly say 3, but that's going on 1 good season. Braga at Hearts, Mashawarie at Motherwell and Stewart at Falkirk, but really hard to judge as it's not consistent over a few seasons. We also play against normally a low block, so can put their offensive skills useless, seen it with so many descent players over the years.

Out of the 3 mentioned, I do think Braga would fit in. Possibly Stewart as 4th choice. 1 thing we're missing is that creative mid who can create that chance. We don't currently have that, I don't see anyone in Scotland providing that.

19 Apr 2026 20:49:05
Aphelion, there are several players that I think could step up & play a part depending on how they settle.

Watson
Stewart
Mashawarie
Milne
Graham
Yogane
Braga
Also, remember Curtis & Cameron will return, & it will be really interesting to see how they react to a proper pre season.

19 Apr 2026 20:50:43
Braga and Maswanhise with a new striker through the middle would do me fine next season.

19 Apr 2026 21:00:35
Sorry I forgot.

Just
Watt

There is probably a couple that have slipped my mind, and I feel all of them would add depth and increase the competition within the squad.

19 Apr 2026 21:18:16
Aphelion, in my opinion, this is the worst season in Scottish football. I don't think we could make a good team out of the league to play, say, Coventry, imho all top 3 teams in Scotland would be totally embarrassing in the Premier League over the season. Okay, people will say that we would have the money, but.

19 Apr 2026 23:35:20
Disageee, scrambled.

My best team from the league, not team of the season but best team would be.

Butland

Sterling
Djiga
Fernandz
Rommens

Raskin
Calmac

Moore

Maswanhise
Chermiti
Braga.

19 Apr 2026 23:55:52
Of those not mentioned, I'd really like Longelo from Motherwell to compete with Rommens.

20 Apr 2026 01:41:31
But we would have the money scrambled. If in Premiership, I don't believe we would have any of the players we have. It's not as straightforward as that, mate. Many factors to add in. We could definitely attract excellent talent if in Premiership.

20 Apr 2026 08:09:55
Sorry I should have been clearer.

Does anyone know any players we should target that are what could be said bargains.

I am meaning in the mould of Bassey and Aribo.

Personally I wouldn't sign Braga and I believe there are lots like him.

He has had a great season but was not a standout in the 2nd tier of Norwegian football.

Maswanhise, I would sign but I believe that Motherwell would command a fee I would be unwilling to pay to strengthen a domestic rival.

20 Apr 2026 08:18:17
Filip Lissah from Falkirk (currently on loan). Good on the ball, decent defender, and looks comfortable at RB. Would improve playing alongside better players.

20 Apr 2026 08:40:55
Calmac. 🤮

20 Apr 2026 08:52:59
Lol, Paul. 👍 😄

20 Apr 2026 09:31:13
Biggar, Stewart is only a young player, why I hope he doesn't choose Rangers as his next club because of fans like you.

20 Apr 2026 12:57:19
Calmac? He has been so poor this season, even his own supporters want him binned. Not sure if I had the whole league to pick from that I would pick Chermiti as my main striker.

19 Apr 2026 19:05:15
A lot of decent comments made about Skov Olsen and his mental struggles. I have no wish to make any comment on that but at this moment in time we need to be totally ruthless and nasty to win these 5 cup finals.

If Skov Olsen isn't capable to fight for his life and a starting place he should be no where near our team. We can't again sit back and watch one of the poorest Celtic teams in recent history win a double.

19 Apr 2026 20:44:08
wonder if his mental struggles and lack of confidence affects his ability to cash his weekly 5 figure wage

20 Apr 2026 00:33:36
Fight for his life? Really? Give your head a wobble.

20 Apr 2026 08:32:49
Deecee, I really hope you never have any struggles in life or your family never have any struggles.

I would imagine if that is your viewpoint you would advise any of your loved ones who are potentially in a well paying profession not to collect their contracted pay whilst they were dealing with issues.


I would guess not though as people rarely attribute their own pathetic thoughts to themselves and the people they care about.

20 Apr 2026 12:59:49
I do hope that while he is at our club, we are giving him all the support he needs. However, I don't think we should be paying millions for him in the summer just based on his form on the football pitch, whatever the reason is.

19 Apr 2026 15:30:20
Where are people getting the salary figures for Skov Olsen.

To my knowledge the club have not released the details of the provisional contractual agreement in the event of a permanent transfer.

If they have can someone please direct me to the source.

19 Apr 2026 15:50:20
So do you know the salary ASO is receiving, Aph?

19 Apr 2026 15:58:00
His current salary dictated by his contract at Wolfsburg has no bearing on the agreement made in principle with Rangers.

Figures being quoted by some in relation to future payments are nothing more than hypothesis.

19 Apr 2026 16:05:49
One thing for sure Aph, he's on a good wedge. 👍✌️

19 Apr 2026 16:13:10
Another thing for sure, Yately, he's being vastly overpaid for what he contributes for our team.

19 Apr 2026 16:13:22
As are the vast majority of players, Yately.

It only seems to be his prospective transfer that gets calculated, including wages, over an indeterminate amount of time.

To use the same logic and metric.

Sterling cost around £15 million for a small amount of games.

Chermiti could potentially cost around £ 40 million.
The list is endless.

19 Apr 2026 16:17:31
I agree with that, Yately, he will be on a fair amount. Let's face facts, Olsen has been a very disappointing signing for us. He hides during games and offers next to no impact. Subbed twice in a row at HT tells it's on story.

I cannot see us playing him in any of the last 5 games with a title at stake, and we certainly can't justify a large outlay for him based on what we have seen so far. 🫡

19 Apr 2026 16:25:49
Offers nothing but a goal involvement in 50% of matches with no confidence and in very poor form.


I will support the boy.

19 Apr 2026 16:27:56
I got the responses I anticipated.

I will take that as confirmation that no such details have been released and all figures quoted by some regarding his future salary are nothing more than hypothetical.

No factual basis in the figures, so can be dismissed without consideration.

19 Apr 2026 16:28:18
Florida, all I'm seeing is 2.7m yearly, on showing not he's worth a fraction of that salary, it was the Dundee United game, he didn't even want to be on that park, that got me, off form, low in confidence, burst your baws helping your teammates, was none of that
in the United game.

19 Apr 2026 16:37:50
I agree, my star, he is very lazy. We won't see him in any of the last 5, and I can't see him being signed in the summer. Best wishes to the lad, but it just simply hasn't worked out. 🫡

19 Apr 2026 16:38:56
Wouldn't waste 1 mill on him, never mind 3.5mill. And high wages.

19 Apr 2026 16:41:54
Aph, I have stated in the past, that it's maybe better he returns to Denmark for a season to find his form as he's a top player. He hasn't settled with us, and surely you must admit his form is so poor? I think he will struggle for game time for the rest of the season, and I wish him all the best. ✌️👍

19 Apr 2026 16:55:14
Yately, I have been clear on my position.

Yes, his form has been poor and no one could ever say otherwise.

I disagree entirely with him returning to Denmark and I have given my reasoning behind that position.

I do feel that positive inroads are being made in both the management of the player and the player himself.

The information I have is the management team are happy with the player and his effort certainly has not been questioned.



Sascha Lense is working closely with him in ways to improve his confidence and Danny Rohl is an excellent man manager.

I hope he signs permanently but I completely understand other viewpoints and I respect your opinion.

This post was never to discuss Andreas, it was merely to ascertain whether the figures quoted were released by the club or just fictitious.

Many rods to best him with are being fabricated out of nothing.

19 Apr 2026 16:56:53
Exactly my point about kicking a guy when he's down earlier. While most get the point re performance against wage, is it necessary to continually drag it up and aim another kick? The club will decide, as it should be. None of us on here have a clue, no matter who thinks it'll happen the way they want it too. By all means kick away.

19 Apr 2026 17:02:31
Fork, great post, I will return to keeping my counsel, especially in regards to this deal.

Who knows what I'll get blamed for in the summer window.

19 Apr 2026 17:17:39
Aph, this site is here to discuss whatever people want, and I will continue to discuss whatever I want??? It's not the Aphelion show.

19 Apr 2026 17:19:27
It's every day now, Fork, and after people close to the club telling us he's going through stuff.

19 Apr 2026 17:20:10
In my opinion, Skov came with big expectations from the fans, and truth be told we haven't seen that. There definitely is a player tho. Will we sign him on performances shown? I very much doubt it, but with the reported loan fee of 2m, I would like that fee reduced, and either loan him for 6 months or the season, then there's no excuses. Remember, he's not played much prior, coming to a new country and trying to settle your home life takes time for some people.

If there is indeed the rumoured depression then I hope the club are giving him professional help in any way they can. I'm kinda torn as we could have a gem on our hands if he rediscovers form or could be wasted money. Could go either way.

19 Apr 2026 17:27:59
What is your response about Yately?

I've never once tried to stop you doing anything.

19 Apr 2026 17:37:24
Yately does have a point, to be fair. Wonder just what the reaction would be from him/her if several people were to post several times a day to say that Yately's posts were uninspiring, generally rubbish and just not worth it, almost like he/she couldn't be bothered putting the work in?

19 Apr 2026 17:43:23
Yately, I don't know what you have taken offense to.

I merely pointed out the intention and reason behind my post.

No need for the dig. I have done nothing to you.

19 Apr 2026 17:46:10
Aph, I get that you back ASO but I'll rephrase my original question as your "anticipation" of others' replies set you off on a tangent.
Do you know what Rangers pay ASO per week? Not what he gets at Wolfsberg or any prospective deal that might or might not happen.

19 Apr 2026 17:52:19
Alphe. Not sure where u get these figures for Sterling and Chermiti.

Sterling was signed on a four year deal
L as a bosman. His signing on fee reputed to be 750 k over four years. His signing on fee and salary equate to 1 million pounds a year. Four years equals 4 million, not 15 million.


Failed to make addons.

Chermiti signed four year deal with option to add a year, don't know sign on fee.
Salary circa 1.5 million.

8 million fee. No addons met as yet. I can't see how we will be laying out 40 million in his time at Rangers.

19 Apr 2026 18:04:42
At the start of the season, every Rangers fan I know all said that spending £10 million and approximately £1.5 million a year on an unknown, unproven striker was a huge gamble and waste of money.


So, who's to say that Olsen can't come good?
On current form, I can't see that.
But the exact same could be aimed at Chermiti for his first few months in a Rangers jersey.

19 Apr 2026 18:06:48
John, it was a deliberate exaggeration, my friend.

Based on the fabrication on figures regarding Olsen.

My apologies for that.

19 Apr 2026 18:09:52
I believe he's on 44k at Wolfsburg, so u can imagine we're paying some of that. How much is anyone's guess. John, have u got any idea, bud? 👍

19 Apr 2026 18:15:58
I do not know for certain, but I believe we are paying roughly 70% of current salary whilst on loan.

19 Apr 2026 18:19:05
Aphe, you're not happy at people quoting figures, but you seem to know fine fine details, 50% off etc if Wolfsburg relegated. All speculation. He's still not with the fee at 50% off. 👍

19 Apr 2026 18:26:45
Not at all, I pass information on a rumours forum as rumours.

Not once have I claimed it to be anything other than rumour.

What I don't do is use fictitious figures as a reason to speak ill about a player.

I will keep my counsel from now on and refrain from posting rumour.

19 Apr 2026 18:38:58
Aphelion, he's on just over 50k. If he took a 50 percent wage cut to come to Rangers, he would be on 25k. I suspect he would want at least 70 percent of what he is currently on, and even at 50 percent he is not worth it.

You always stick up for him, he's not worth half his fee or half his wages imo. You're entitled to yours, and if he signs I hope he comes good, but to me he's a massive waste of cash.

19 Apr 2026 18:41:26
I have little knowledge of the financials on Aso but for what it's worth (probably not much) in my opinion I'll refrain from truly passing judgment on any permanent deal for Aso until season's end.

Something I think most fans and players seem to not realise is that a player's fate at Rangers is entirely in their own hands. All it takes is 1/2 good games and their fortune completely changes.
Look at our starting 11. Fernandez and Djiga were both considered flops, and now we're quoting massive fees for Manny and asking to keep Djiga.

Moore was considered too young to be here after a few games and has now kicked on into a top player. Chermiti, Aasgaard, Miovski. All considered duds at one point and with just a few games fan opinion lightened and their confidence returned.

For me, Aso gets the split to prove himself. I must admit, at this moment, I'd be wary of making him permanent, but his story here is firmly in his hands. Let's get behind him and the rest of the squad and see what happens.

19 Apr 2026 18:46:51
Like Dowel, people have made their minds up on Aso; he is a very divisive figure amongst the support. My concern is, should he remain at Rangers, will he be able to handle the grief that will come his way with every error he makes during the games he plays in?

19 Apr 2026 19:55:24
Aphe, that's fine, no need to apologise, I understand the post better now.


Fork, Alphe, 70% is accurate as far as I'm concerned, not so sure for those who say 2 million for just under 5 months loan fee.


Teds, that's the due diligence that needs to be properly carried out by the recruitment team.

19 Apr 2026 20:19:26
I'm continuing to be told that the deal will go ahead. It will only be renegaded on by the club if we finish second or third.

19 Apr 2026 21:20:56
Cheers John, appreciated. 👍👍

19 Apr 2026 21:53:04
In defense of Skov, he was praised up as the best player we could ever have signed and would rip up the league, "by the press." Some players take time to settle. I personally think he could be the player that we need.

20 Apr 2026 08:24:12
I hope Skov stays and regains the form he is capable of in a blue jersey. My one concern is whether the player actually wants to be at Rangers.

20 Apr 2026 11:20:10
It's becoming the latest big deal

The boys been awful, adding a couple of goals assists won't change that

If there's something else then we know nothing about that,

19 Apr 2026 14:44:34
Seriously, how many goals this season have been caused by goalkeepers or unforced errors? Must be some sort of record.

19 Apr 2026 21:57:29
As my friend says, "That's why they're goalkeepers." Another thing that I have noticed is the change in kickoffs, kicking for touch, putting pressure on defence right away.

19 Apr 2026 13:03:13
🎵 SO LET ME TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU AND I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME 🎵.

19 Apr 2026 14:24:43
Thanks Bb4.

19 Apr 2026 14:41:54
Was worried you wouldn't realise I was talking about you, tc. Phew. 😅 Obviously biased, but got to be one of the best tunes in football. 😉

19 Apr 2026 15:01:22
It's the best song we have sung in years. It's brilliant when the verses get sung a bit quieter building up to the chorus and then everyone just gives it laldy on the chorus. It's even better when the full song gets repeated over and over and everyone keeps singing. One of those songs that gets the blood flowing and gives you goose bumps.

19 Apr 2026 15:08:08
I thought that was in honour of the Scottish Women's Team sitting top of their World Cup Group after 4 games, and a crucial double header against Belgium.

19 Apr 2026 15:20:05
Sure is, t.c.

19 Apr 2026 15:50:12
Hate that song. 😁😁

19 Apr 2026 17:21:35
They're doing well, Ehl. I've tuned in to a couple of their games.

19 Apr 2026 10:59:21
What's everyone's thoughts on Skov Olsen and the apparent news that his head is down and low in confidence. Personally I feel that at a club like ours we need players with a winning mentality. Over the last few years we have had too many players that have had many excuses made for them and that need "an arm around them".

I think this has been a big part of the reason why we have failed over the last few seasons. The next 5 games are huge in our bid to win the title. Can we afford to gamble on a player who doesn't have the required mentality? I think not. Personally I would keep Skov Olsen as far away from the team as possible. These are 5 cup finals. No room for passengers. We need winners on the park.

19 Apr 2026 11:12:35
If we could get him on loan for another season, I think get more out of him.

19 Apr 2026 11:20:32
He does have a goal and 3 assists in 8 games and has shown moments of his class and composure, but is clearly lacking confidence. If we had him on loan from start of season, he may have come good by now, but half a season in a team where every game is vital is a tough ask for him, especially with the potential price tag associated with him.

I doubt he will start many games, but let's try getting behind him. Jeers when he plays bad aren't going to help.

19 Apr 2026 11:21:26
Back to Germany after Falkirk game and call it a day at that. Had really high hopes for him, but he's been dreadful.

19 Apr 2026 11:21:48
It's clear he's not the player he once was - physically, emotionally, mentally. I hope he can find a way back, but we cannot gamble on that.

There's no way we pay £7.5M for him.

Not a chance.

19 Apr 2026 11:23:18
For me, firstly it's about Skov.
We have no idea what is going on in his life just now.
Yes he is a player for our team, yes on money that some of us can only dream about, but first and foremost he is a human being.
Is there a reason for this, are there issues.
Does he need and get support.



Granted it might be none of the above, but

People react differently, some need a boot up the proverbial, others an arm.

I would agree we can't spend money on the hope he will come good, but who am I.
That's the club's decision, they see him every day. They will make an informed decision.

19 Apr 2026 11:27:37
I'm hugely disappointed in Olson, I expected far more. For me, it's a no - unfortunately.

19 Apr 2026 11:30:33
Coldo, he has won more league titles than most of the Rangers squad.

Winning mentality is not an issue.

19 Apr 2026 11:37:27
I don't understand why you are picking out a guy that has one more than one league title when we have nearly a full squad that have won less? So, just to put other names out there, Tav shouldn't play again as he hasn't got winning mentality, one title? Raskin, what has he won? Souttar? What has Manny won? You can go through the full team, but instead of doing that, just get behind the full team and get behind whoever Rohl decides to pick.

You could easily go through our full team and find faults if you want, but would rather get behind them for these last 5 games.

19 Apr 2026 11:41:42
Boy has demons and is struggling and none of us has a clue what's wrong. Just feel there is always an opportunity presented to kick the guy when he's down on here, support is better than derision.

19 Apr 2026 11:53:49
Olsen just isn't the same player he was a few years ago. Confidence or fighting demons, nobody knows. Hopefully his mentality improves greatly, but signing him is a different story for me. He'd be our biggest earner without his transfer fee.

It matters not what he won in the past, very talking about present time, something that never gets mentioned on here either. Olsen has missed around 40 games through injury since 2023.

19 Apr 2026 11:59:49
He's not the same player he was, why no one knows. I hope he can rediscover his old self, but at the current terms, it should not be at Rangers, too much wages, too much money to buy. I would only take him back on loan at 1/3 of his wages and half his loan fee, with an option to buy.

19 Apr 2026 12:30:02
If we could extend the loan by a season and pay a 2m fee in the hope he rediscovers past form I'd be willing to take the chance after a full pre season. Currently it's a simple no to activating his clause.

19 Apr 2026 12:35:08
After the last international break, he had time to work with the coaches, and again now in Spain. If he doesn't come back and hit the ground running, it's a big No - not even a loan.

19 Apr 2026 12:36:23
Big Dado caveat that with the fee reducing to around 3.5 million Euros if Wolfsburg get relegated.

Surely it makes good sense to take the risk.

19 Apr 2026 12:46:34
The lad has quality and that is something not a single person on here can deny, the issue is purely all inside his head. But to hear that he is isolating from the rest of the squad means imo we can't take the risk to sign him for the kind of prices we have heard.

It could be as simple as he doesn't feel like he belongs because he is a loan player but could be something much worse.

Honestly though, Glasgow just isn't the kind of place where he will be allowed to work through said issues as the pressure here is and always will be immense.

19 Apr 2026 12:55:51
Big Dado, his salary is around 2.7m a year, mate. Say we give him a four year contract, over 10m on his current salary, we can't go signing a player on past reputations, he's hardly kicked a ball much the last few seasons, that's without taking into consideration him missing around 40 games through injury in that time.

If he doesn't really impress in the remaining games, I'd be sending him back to Germany. We do sign him, I believe it will be a big mistake, but hopefully, if we do, he'll prove me wrong.

Zikos, it is a fair point. Maybe this break and some team bonding might help him, so we will see if there is any improvement in the next few games. I do think, if it was EUR3.5m, then probably worth the risk.

Whatever is wrong with Skov Olsen, he sure doesn't lack talent, because there's no doubt he's a talented footballer, but of course yet to do it for us. 🤔 Having said that, it's far too early to give up on him, because I've no doubt his confidence will return, and when it does, I think we'll all see the player we know he can be.

🤔 I wouldn't and don't think we'll pay the current asking price for him on a permanent deal, but hopefully there's wriggle room for possibly another loan deal with option to buy on a lower transfer fee. 🤔

I'm on the side with a full pre season under Rohl. Skov Olsen will improve to the player he once was. I'd imagine most in the team will improve significantly.

Really crass and classless OP.

First and foremost, he's a human being.

The guys got mental health issues. Has he performed as well as we'd have hoped?
Absolutely not, but there's more important things in life.

I hope these issues never visit you or your family.

Athole, 👏👏👏 total respect my friend.

19 Apr 2026 13:57:25
He will be good next season when we sign him on a perm. Short memories of Steven Davis' loan spell. The Rangers legend started the same way and started to kick on post split. The rest is history.

We will 100 percent pay the price, Sir Walter, that's why they put as much effort into telling you he's having issues.

He was always a player for next season. The board can't tell fans that because they hate future planning.

Americans love playing the media, this set up to feed a narrative post season, he's better and when we sign him 'all he needs is a preseason'.

That's why you got news about RM being cheeper to sack at Christmas? It was to try and bide him time.



Why do you think now when Celtic put out their dembelle dollar fees for players you see articles the next day about our dembelle dollar transfers.

Americans love playing the media game, they're the best, think around what is happening and being said and you'll see patterns.

Same reason why I know Skov is a Rangers player next season excluding a serious injury, which is why is an option not an obligation due to age, we will be required to take it up if he plays x games or is fit.

19 Apr 2026 14:10:03
To tldr, you don't put this much effort into a player in the media if you've not already decided he's a Rangers player next season, which I believe he was always going to be regardless of this six months to settle and get up to speed.

19 Apr 2026 14:24:12
As long as he's getting whatever support, if any, is needed while he's here, but sorry, wouldn't be taking up the option on his wages or fee. It's far too expensive a gamble when he isn't doing it on the park. There's plenty of players with serious issues as well who do still perform.

19 Apr 2026 14:34:56
Not seen this particular issue in the media anywhere, only became aware during the chat on here.

Gd post Athole. 👍

19 Apr 2026 14:40:47
I hope we support him, create a platform that helps him rediscover his confidence and that he plays a part in firing us to the title.

Rather than keeping players who are struggling as far away from the team as possible.

19 Apr 2026 15:02:16
Hes a good player in a bad spot

I also think he is in a bad place mentally, but look what a few goals against Celtic did for big Chermiti.

Hopefully he shows up for this run in. A few big moments might give him the spark

19 Apr 2026 15:08:53
Good sense and take the risk don't make good sense, Aphelion. Too expensive to take the risk even at reduced fee. He shows what he can do before the season end or it's tata.

19 Apr 2026 15:25:36
Ayrshire, different between Chermiti mate, he does the yards for his teammates, when have we seen Olsen do the same?
It's the 2.7m a year salary for doing very little.

19 Apr 2026 17:54:15
Don't know what's wrong with the lad to be fair, but I get the impression football is not his be all & end all & he looks like he would love to be somewhere else. But, not many professions paying the sort of money he is on, not his fault.

19 Apr 2026 20:54:59
Aph, if the 3.5m figure is true upon relegation, then it definitely takes a good bit of risk away from the deal. 👍 It's pretty much the going rate for any player now.


Mystar, he may not be getting a 2.7m salary if he signs for us perm mate.
I'll back him if he signs, but I get it's really hard to say yes to a deal the now.
