Rangers banter 6

19 Apr 2026 10:27:20
Watched the semi final yesterday what an appalling game, quality was like non league football, I sometimes wonder how some guys make it as a professional footballer in Scotland.

Lots on here giving DR great credit for getting us back in a title race, I'll keep my powder dry til the end of the season where if we win the league I'll give them all the credit in the world.

19 Apr 2026 13:12:39
Many years ago I used to go to the Junior Cup Final and watching yesterday's game that's what it reminded me of. Lots of effort, little quality, but two sets of enthusiastic fans, in a half-full Hampden, cheering on their home town clubs. I was shocked by Falkirk who are much better than they showed yesterday.

19 Apr 2026 13:21:32
Biggest game of both clubs' season, you can understand nerves etc, why it wasn't a good game. Loads of things come into. They have been Old Firm games in the past that have looked just as bad also.

19 Apr 2026 13:40:59
I watched from the second half onwards and was a bit disappointed with Falkirk.
Expected a better performance as they're normally quite good on the ball, but I'm not sure if it was just me, but the pitch looked to be heavy when the ball was getting passed around.


They've had a lot of plaudits this season, but I guess nerves come into it and then you get a bit of a slugfest.

19 Apr 2026 09:39:14
Does anyone know when the ticket allocation for parkhead is released? hoping to be allocated this time around 🤞🏻.

19 Apr 2026 08:05:32
John, i noticed in your post yesterday that we had representatives of Rangers at hampden yesterday watching andrew tod of Dunfermline and not for the first time 🤔I watched some of the game and i did like the look of him 👍So what's your thoughts John, do you think he's one we'd hope to bring in mate 🤔

19 Apr 2026 11:03:35
I don't think he improves Rangers.

19 Apr 2026 11:39:19
The boy has something, but don't think it would be at Rangers or Celtic or even Hearts. Next, maybe a low level team in our league.

19 Apr 2026 13:13:52
I thought the young boy Fyfe looked far more dangerous when he came on, one to watch maybe.

19 Apr 2026 13:21:21
I watched the match, paying particular attention to three boys we are meant to be monitoring, Lissah, Stewart and Dod. Lissah could make it at Ibrox. I was disappointed in Stewart and Dod. The other players weren't worth a second look.

19 Apr 2026 17:32:57
I've seen him play a few times, whilst he did ok, I never thought, oh, we should try sign him. Will he improve us? I doubt it at the moment, and don't see whose place he takes. Could it be sign him, take the chance and loan him out for next 2 seasons to carry on developing? It's a risk tho.

18 Apr 2026 22:20:32
Just seen there Man United top of the league since carsick took over? Is that correct? That's outstanding btw he deserves that job without a shadow of doubt

18 Apr 2026 23:00:25
He's doing a great job imo, he's gone back to basics in some instances by playing players in the correct positions and has them playing for the jersey. He's being helped massively with his coaches. Steve Holland is very highly regarded.

19 Apr 2026 02:10:19
Steve Holland was going to be Stevie G number 2 with Defoe and David as coaches.
That's some team imo.

John, u verified that for us, I think, mate?

19 Apr 2026 06:19:09
Stevie, that was my info. Holland is an outstanding coach.

19 Apr 2026 09:09:31
Yes, Stevie Holland, a very highly rated coach indeed. 👌 He worked with England as well. 👍 Michael Carrick will get the Man United head coach job at the end of the season, as him, Holland and the rest of his management team have done superb at Man Utd, since taking over from Amorim. 👌 I see Chelsea might well be parting ways with Liam Rosenoir at the end of the season, and he's only been in the job several months.

😲 My favourite English club, Newcastle United, had another poor result yesterday at home against Bournemouth, and I just wonder what the future of Eddie Howe remaining Newcastle head coach beyond this season will be. 🤔

19 Apr 2026 11:40:54
Coops, it was a strange appointment from Chelsea. I know they got him from the French club they owned, but it was still strange.

Think Eddie Howe has taken your 2nd team as far as he can, and it looks like a lot of big players leaving in summer. New manager, fresh start, I would think.

19 Apr 2026 12:51:18
Coops, Chelsea are one of the worst run teams in the EPL. Rosenior had never won 3 games in a row at any former club, and yet they appointed him and look at what he has done to them now. He will be away at the end of the season.

Howe will be away.

Too many Newcastle fans are not wanting him gone, but I feel for him as they lost Isak and never replaced his goals but have wasted the money imo and looks like Tonali, Livramento and Gordon will be away so massive summer needed there too.

19 Apr 2026 13:18:46
Chelsea appointed Rosenior as a yes man, apparently not actually picking the players who start, hence why Enzo wasn't captain yesterday. Unless the club gets sold I fear a freefall from where they once were.

19 Apr 2026 13:05:49
You're quite possibly correct storm regarding Newcastle mate. 👍I also think the superb Anthony Gordon will be sold and i see Arsenal.
Liverpool and Bayern Munich all linked with moves to sign him in the summer. 🤔 He's a boyhood Liverpool supporter so he could well end up with your favourite English club storm and of course one of the ED'S favourite team. 🤔 I think Gordon is a cracking player. 👌

19 Apr 2026 16:14:08
"Look at what he has done to them" is an absolute joke of a comment. Outside of when Abramovich bought several titles, Chelsea are no more than an also ran EPL team. Honestly, I would like to see them crash and burn the way Spurs have this year. Can't stand that club in any way.

19 Apr 2026 16:39:43
Joke of a comment is it, DTB? Am I not allowed an opinion, like. My bad, I'll ask your permission next time, shall I?

I don't mean what he has done to them as a club, but the form they are on! This was a manager that had never won 3 games in a row, and was always going to drag them down the table, not up.

18 Apr 2026 21:22:25
Thanks everyone for the kind responses on my return post

Now I'm back, I'd like to give my thoughts for tomorrows games 😁

My opinion I think Hearts will have a really tough game against Hibs and at best I think it will be a score draw

I reckon Celtic will win there game

And the best part of the day when all is done and dusted tomorrow night
I reckon we will be top of the table after a win against Motherwell and this will be the catalyst that gives us the push and momentum to go on and win 56

I reckon every game will be tight and hard fought and nervy but if Hearts don't win tomorrow and we're sitting top I don't think we will move from that spot making us title winners this season
And what an incredible achievement after an incredibly difficult season with all that's went before

Come on Rangers I know we can do this

Let me add another little opinion in 🙈

Think Chermiti is a player at only 21 if we can hold onto him and help nurture and develop him we will have some player on our hands he's not the finished article by any means and he will keep getting better if we aid his development in the right way.

18 Apr 2026 21:56:52
Games are next week, fella. But let's hope your views are correct.

18 Apr 2026 21:58:29
Stig Genes, you refer to r next weekend.

18 Apr 2026 22:14:19
U returned a week early, mate. 😂😂😂

18 Apr 2026 22:19:25
At least he remembered his name and log in details, Kaiser. 😳🤣

18 Apr 2026 22:53:58
U got me Fork. 😂😂

19 Apr 2026 08:59:00
🤣🤣 Superb, Stig, easy mistake to make. 👍
Fork. 😂

19 Apr 2026 11:53:23
Stig, unfortunately, you don't get away with a mistake on this site. 🥴🥴 Brilliant Fork. 😂😂😂

18 Apr 2026 18:00:24
What's everyone's thoughts on how we should set up going into the last 5 games? Personally I would go with two up top as there is no doubt we are a different animal playing this system. Those who were dead against two up top and laughed at the idea, what do you's think now? Who would be your starting 11? Two up top could win us 56 🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵.

18 Apr 2026 18:15:24
I'd go 2 up except Vs Celtic. Don't think it worked once they had legs in midfield. All the other games two up with Bojan in the 11 will do me.

18 Apr 2026 18:18:45
M8, nobody laughed at 2 up top, just sometimes you can't play like that if you don't have the correct pairing. The team that's dominated Scottish football past 15 years has played with one up top.

What do you think about that? It's not like it's a new invention. I think people more laughed at the fact that we could tell exactly who a certain someone was when constantly banging on about two up top. 👀

18 Apr 2026 18:33:36
I'd go 4-3-3.

18 Apr 2026 18:58:50
I think game at a time, each will come with different challenges. I'm not against anything that gets us 3 points. I would like a statement performance against Motherwell, a good spring board into the last few games would be perfect.

I just can't believe we might just be champions. I really don't know what I will do if we get it over the line. In the same breath, though, I hope to God they don't somehow win it. If they do, the team of the year should just be 11 referees.

18 Apr 2026 19:04:06
A couple that could be useful signings is Chalobah at Wednesday along with Charles. Along with Souttar's brother and Mavidi. There's probs a few at Leicester that would suit our style.

18 Apr 2026 19:27:31
I don't like 4-4-2, never have, never will.

I agree with 4-3-3.

A true 6 with two 8s.

18 Apr 2026 19:45:16
Eleven on the park and some subs 😉👍
4-3-3 all day.

18 Apr 2026 19:45:21
We have certainly been producing the results since switching to 2 up front.

18 Apr 2026 19:49:15
Falkirk was 433 from Rohl's mouth after the game.

18 Apr 2026 19:53:56
Probably be 4222.
Butland
Sterling
Djiga
Fernandez
Rommens
Barron
Raskin
Aasgaard
Moore
Chermiti
Miovski.

18 Apr 2026 20:03:45
433 won us the game against Falkirk. I prefer 433 not the 4231 or the 442.

Miovski just behind Chermiti, but we had a major problem if either gets injured. As we only have 2 strikers.

18 Apr 2026 20:08:21
2 recognised centre forwards on the park, happy for formations to be dynamic, but to get the best out of Chermiti, then he needs support.

18 Apr 2026 20:19:55
Had two up top for the first 30 minutes of the second half, went 433 when Barron came on.
Gassama moved left, Aasgaard right, Miovski and Chermiti cf's, moved 433 when Barron came on for Aasgaard.

18 Apr 2026 20:21:45
Strom, totally agree. We only have two fit strikers and I feel we need to keep at least one fit for the run in. I'd be looming at 433.

Butland
Sterling
Djiga
Manny
Rommens (if fit)
Raskin
Chucky
Dio
Skov / Antman
Chermiti
Moore

I still think that Skov will come good and show his worth for us.



Btw, I'm torn between wee Barron or Dio, but I'd rather have balance in my team, especially in the mid going into the last 5 games. Let's go.

18 Apr 2026 20:28:51
We're putting teams away playing with two cf's, first half last Sunday, Chermiti was wasted up top, he's having to drop deep for a touch.
Only five games remaining, one gets injured, then we'll need to go with one, but I'm playing two for the remaining games.

18 Apr 2026 20:36:39
My star, like your team but, one change Chuka for Barron.
Going to be one amazing end to the season, one comment I will make is that Falkirk will not win another game this season.
Don't care what anyone says but I do think that we do have the best and biggest squad.

🤔
Just wonder what everyone's nerves will be like just before we play Hearts on the Monday holiday.
🫡 🫡 🫡 😇 😇 😇 🥳 🥳 🥳

18 Apr 2026 20:44:02
Aphe, totally agree mate. One of best mf's I've ever seen was Alonso, Gerrard and Didi Heiman, excuse spelling.

Always 3 in middle for me.
Best mf we've had in 15 years is Jack, Davo n Kamara.



We'll never do anything again in Europe with 2 mf's, we're not good enough players. Best to play same in league as we do in Old Firm and Europe's too for me.

18 Apr 2026 20:44:23
Chukwuani has been a bit loose in the middle of the park the last couple of games, I do like him, scrambled.

18 Apr 2026 21:06:45
I think he's been outstanding, Beale, settled as if he's been here all season. He's probably our best mf now, imo, as Raskin is underperforming.

18 Apr 2026 21:20:17
Gave away a couple of balls, Stevie, and one cost a goal against United, mate. Unlucky it never happened at Falkirk. But I do like him, for the Motherwell game, Barron sitting with Raskin more advanced on attack.

18 Apr 2026 22:02:34
Yeah I had some negative comments about Raskin last week and he has a 2nd half like he did. Shut me up, eh, haha.

Mf 3 Barron n Chucky with Raskin to right of the 3, but the license to go forward.



I just think we should play all the games like we're playing Celtic n Hearts. Players need to be on top of tactics n formation for me.

Front 3 would be.

Moore free role.

Chermiti and Miovski.

19 Apr 2026 06:40:56
I would be inclined to go with your team, My star. 👍🇬🇧 We must go for this now and go and grab this league title in these last 5 cup finals. 🥊🇬🇧

19 Apr 2026 10:49:36
I've been crying out for 2 up top all season, esp given how bad we were at scoring early part o the season. Personally, I'd go 4-1-3-2, think that would give us a good balance defensively & attacking wise.

18 Apr 2026 15:35:39
Where is my friend.

18 Apr 2026 16:00:53
He was over there 👉 earlier on, he said he was going for a few pints. 🍺

18 Apr 2026 16:04:22
Is your friend the enemy of your enemy. 🤔

18 Apr 2026 16:14:49
Is this Stroms new account after being banned? 🤣

18 Apr 2026 17:48:48
Storm banned. 😲

18 Apr 2026 16:28:59
Did storm get banned ed?

{Ed033's Note - 1 day ban, yesterday. Ban is over now.

18 Apr 2026 17:47:30
Is Storm banned? Why?

{Ed033's Note - No longer banned.

18 Apr 2026 18:15:24
Micheal Stewart trying to out do Storm.

18 Apr 2026 18:20:10
I wouldn't make another name up.
If I get banned indefinitely, I would be gone.

18 Apr 2026 18:22:26
Storm, if you're looking in, I hope you didn't take my ooft the wrong way. It was just a bit of banter, mate, but, looking back, probably bad timing. I know you're not one for holding grudges, but apologies if it annoyed you. Hope you're good. 👍

18 Apr 2026 19:02:11
Glad you're back, Strom. You are one of the best, even if you do wear your heart on your sleeve.

18 Apr 2026 19:10:15
Storm, I know we don't see eye to eye a lot of the time, mate, but would never want you banned, as I appreciate your input and, of course, you make good points. 👍

18 Apr 2026 19:40:16
Bb, your licence to Oooft has been revoked. 😉

Crabbit one, gd to see you back. 😉 👍

18 Apr 2026 19:35:14
Bb4 I was laughing at your ooft. fork done it as well on a post lower.

The Ed and I had a disagreement on a post and I said to him to ban as I didn't think I was in the wrong but it's done and dusted now.

Cheers aphe as always my good friend.
Coops I feel the same about you if we all agree on everything it would be a very boring site IMO.

Anything I say or do I don't mean it personally.

18 Apr 2026 20:21:55
Thought you would take it the way it was meant, Storm. Glad you did, mate.

18 Apr 2026 20:26:35
Oh for fork sake, how long for? Bloody love a we ooft now n again as well. Am appealing it.

18 Apr 2026 20:45:49
Storm, site is a lot better with u mate, it's good to have disagreements and I have most of mine with u but I enjoy it mate. 👍🏻

18 Apr 2026 21:00:52
Ok, you're allowed the "ooofter" commander in chief "P" says you have carte blanche, BB4. 😳

18 Apr 2026 21:38:40
That'll do me fork. 😂

19 Apr 2026 01:07:26
Why did you get banned, Storm (did you say Olsen was good 🤭).

19 Apr 2026 02:07:08
Said he's sick of all the moaning about posters talking non Rangers haha.

19 Apr 2026 09:03:03
Stevie, I technically wasn't non Rangers. If we win the league, then it's Rangers related, but I am just nervous and never look ahead, mate. I just want the league so bad. Whatever happens after it regarding Champions League etc.

is not in my mind. Whatever will be will be in regards to that.

Laudrup, I ain't that daft. 😂 Though I do hope this break in Spain with the team will do him good, and he will be firing on all cylinders when we return next week.
