Rangers banter 8

13 Jan 2026 21:52:43
John have you heard anything about Michele Sego - hadjuk split winger? Rohl an admirer apparently.

13 Jan 2026 23:16:59
Nothing Baxter.

13 Jan 2026 20:35:56
Just saw on the teams official X account that Cortes has joined that it's a one year loan for a fee of 80k, the purchase option is semi annual and mentions 1.8m, 2m or 2.2m with a 50% sell on.

13 Jan 2026 19:46:58
Paterson?

13 Jan 2026 20:49:59
Not for me.

13 Jan 2026 21:15:06
Nor me Mark. I feel sorry for the lad as he looked an amazing player.

But the best ability is availability and he just does have it.

13 Jan 2026 21:28:50
Agreed.
Ideally, we need players to be able to play 35/45 games a season.
Patterson doesn't fall into that bracket.

13 Jan 2026 22:45:14
Sure if pay and fee is appearance based.

14 Jan 2026 07:20:02
forever then you have a person sitting doing nothing, ok you may not be paying for him but would rather pay for someone to contribute not to sit in the bylines.

13 Jan 2026 18:09:29
I've stayed pretty quiet on the Olsen debate

I haven't watched enough of him to say either way
But what I'm reading is he can be inconsistent in matches plays great one game, next he's missing
Tracking back isn't a highlighted attribute
Injuries have also interrupted his playing career
Ball retention at times can be a mixed bag Along with his decision making under pressure

other than that strengths is about going forward and cutting in have a shot or playing others in and linking play etc
He's creative and has international experience

Be interesting to see what he can bring again especially with money being quoted
But hoping our scouting team know what there doing and he will be a great player.

13 Jan 2026 18:57:44
Hes a winger all wingers are inconsistent or they would be at madrid or Barcelona

And Barcelona did look at him for a while.

13 Jan 2026 18:58:37
I know coming from me funny but don't get why overly negative on this guy when its by all accounts a loan of a position we need desperatley.

13 Jan 2026 18:59:43
Stingo some think I didn't want him signed, not true, I like we're going for that level of player as well and up and coming, we do need experience, hopefully he delivers.

13 Jan 2026 19:26:59
Forever as I said don't know enough about him not really paid much attention to his playing career
Maybe just don't want to get overly excited until I see him play for us

Can only go on what I've read after doing some digging

As I said end of post I hope he's a great player 👍.

13 Jan 2026 19:39:02
There shouldn't even be a debate lol.

13 Jan 2026 19:45:02
I'm really excited by the calibre we're looking at, at 26 he's hitting his prime. I suspect he'll smash the SPL even if it doesn't work out great in some of the top leagues, does that sound like any other Great Dane that we've had before?

13 Jan 2026 19:54:07
to an extent I would rather our winger (s) stay forward when the opposition attack. defence will never be their strongpoint and I would rather we put doubt in opposition defenders' minds about moving forward knowing we have left 3 up front. defence and midfield should provide sufficient defence especially through centre. hate seeing forwards track back and leave us no out ball.

13 Jan 2026 20:22:43
Stig, i mentioned the other day that ASO reminds me of Gassama - reading your post it's almost like you're describing Gassama.

13 Jan 2026 21:30:58
Will be more than happy if it's a loan with option.

After he has been dumped on his arse a few times by some of the hammer throwers in the league, he just might retreat into his shell and an " obligation" would be expensive if he did.

13 Jan 2026 22:47:49
Slimjim exactly my point i wouldn't have worried about that when i wanted him signed from denmark and norsj but last wee while he's picked up few injuries so it does warrant being carefull.

13 Jan 2026 17:26:11
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 21 - Quick Round Up

13 Jan 2026 17:05:30
Cortes called back from loan looks like 👍.

13 Jan 2026 15:43:42
22 shots from inside the box yq.

13 Jan 2026 16:25:11
who has?

13 Jan 2026 16:29:46
Lol, I don't even know what that post is all about😁. Think is was saved in my comments from a while ago.

13 Jan 2026 17:13:19
I was hoping it wasn't another Skov Olsen thread 🙈.

13 Jan 2026 17:16:10
Angus that was weeks ago about us against Motherwell, it was still floating around, just glad it will be away now.

13 Jan 2026 17:30:50
Angus bored of that chat myself mate, but negatives need highlighted as well as positives, why I'd only want Mundle on loan.

13 Jan 2026 17:59:24
I disagree, I think Mundle over Skov Olsen would be a backwards step. Mundle has done nothing of note that would suggest that he's a better option than a 40 cap Danish international.

13 Jan 2026 18:14:58
star no real complaints on topic more having a laugh with the comment. you both see different sides and they are interesting because it saved me looking it all up. just sometimes on the forum we get about 10+ threads all on same topic. doesn't stop me commenting though 😂.

13 Jan 2026 18:31:33
What are you ever talking now Big Papa cc, who actually compared either them?

13 Jan 2026 13:37:03
ASO deal almost done
Number seven squad number could be the one.

13 Jan 2026 14:03:07
Yes what's the story.

Finally Rangers back shopping in the big leagues.

13 Jan 2026 14:55:26
If we get him as well as Rommens and Chuki this will be an excellent window and a real show of intent from the new owners.

None of them may work out because player recruitment is so hit and miss but they all look like good signings.

If this window is as crucial to a title challenge as is being discussed then we are certainly doing our bit.

13 Jan 2026 14:57:47
So hope option to buy will be a bit disappointed if not, don't know much about him but going by other posters seems like a different level of player than we've been signing lately.

13 Jan 2026 14:59:07
What's the story Aphelion? haven't have shopped in the biggest league in the world for a while mate?

13 Jan 2026 14:59:32
Aph, it's been a long wait well done for the updates and info you post I'm sure appreciated by all.

13 Jan 2026 15:00:13
Aphe what do you call a semi in norway because I have one. 😅.

13 Jan 2026 15:26:11
My star no we have not been competing with big teams for signings for a while.

We pay over the odds for players in the epl that no one else seems to want.

I know you are against this transfer but do you need to bring negativity to every single post.

13 Jan 2026 16:29:01
Excellent post Aphelion keep them coming please.

13 Jan 2026 16:32:31
Aphelion so we haven't signed players other clubs want, nonsense mate, you telling me nobody wanted Tillman or Cerny signed on loan from better leagues?

13 Jan 2026 16:39:50
I got a bungalow Dado.

13 Jan 2026 16:42:22
Correct Aph, we haven't, as we didn't have the funds to compete, that's why we had a cost cutting exercise, then 49ers took over.

13 Jan 2026 16:43:45
I agree with aph this is a significant shift

It does concern me finances wise but still buzzing to see skov at Ibrox.

13 Jan 2026 17:04:53
No deal is done until he's standing there with the Rangers scarf above his head guys and i hope and pray we see that shortly 🙏I will be absolutely delighted if we sign andreas skov olsen and can close my eyes and visualise him standing there with the Rangers jersey on with the scarf above his head 🙏If this deal happens like i've said before it will easily be the best signing of any scottish club, in this january transfer window bar none for me 👌An absolute game changer in this title race for me 👌.

13 Jan 2026 17:17:50
You said biggest league in the world.

A term only used when talking about the EPL.

So again you change to suit.


We signed Tillman and Cerny on loan.
Neither wanted to sign permanently.

Skov Olson wants to sign permanently.

13 Jan 2026 17:17:57
Cheers for info whatsmyname and aphelion.

13 Jan 2026 17:27:07
Correct Fork, that fact is lost on some.

13 Jan 2026 17:31:20
My star you are coming across argumentative just for the sake of it on Aphs posts ref skov olsen.

It is pretty clear we are making a step up
In calibre signing wise in most people's opinion. Pretty much all of us would have had to google Tillman and he definitely wasn't an established player. Cerny I had never heard of and had to google but sure some had. most of us have followed skov olsen since he was linked along time ago…so the excitement is valid for us.

He may be a disaster but equally he may be ridiculously good and we get him permanently…that's the joy of it. No one knows for sure.

It's exciting though.

13 Jan 2026 17:42:57
I'd like our wage structure kept in tact with new signings.
We've worked hard over the last few years to reduce it.

13 Jan 2026 17:55:58
Star come on now are you for real? We haven't been a competitive force when aiming for signings for some time and as Aph stated neither of those 2 you mention wanted to stay.

Not to mention most our signings have been championship and below so not even the "biggest" league in the world.

The fact we are trying to sign ASO shows that this new board are well behind making us the most dominant force in Scotland again and let's just wait and see if they follow up with more high quality signings.

13 Jan 2026 17:56:11
Coully believe it on not I am excited about him, especially that level of player, but is he going be the player he was at Brugge, hopefully yes, no, it costs us more cash we don't have, probably thinking too much after Martin, Thelwell and Stewart.

13 Jan 2026 18:02:06
ASO has got to move country, get fully match fit and up to speed in Scottish football at the same time adjust to being back in a pressured environment where he will be singled out by the hatchet men.

It took Cerny a wee bit time to settle and find his feet.

He might be similar. If he arrives can we all take this into consideration before he's written off.

13 Jan 2026 18:08:28
My star would rather we signed Gogic and Devlin.

13 Jan 2026 18:18:45
re finances I would only say we are no longer being managed by Rangers fans. not a criticism of the board who went before as they did what they could to try and make us successful. what I mean is that the 49ers are businessmen first and won't be swayed to make poor financial decisions.

I know businesses fail all the time but not ones run by the 49ers enterprises.
if they are trying to go all in to get ECL qualification and it doesn't work I don't think they will do it again. but it would place us in a. good position for next year.

13 Jan 2026 18:36:33
Mystar if they didn't have it they wouldn't spend it.

13 Jan 2026 19:33:24
bornbear no why?

13 Jan 2026 20:44:52
L-Mac great post.

13 Jan 2026 13:09:45
Some really good updates from Aphelion last few days. Thanks bud.

Great mix of info from different accounts on here lately, let's all keep it positive and refreshing.
People should be encouraged to post on here, not criticised for the info they get or have.

13 Jan 2026 14:03:46
No need to thank me my friend.

I only dropped the deal onto the site.
It's what the Eds give us the site for.

13 Jan 2026 14:35:29
Aphelion is a top poster who really has inside track on Scandinavian markets

His info ties in with what is happening at Ibrox presently.

13 Jan 2026 14:46:40
Thank you John, I am not sure I deserve such compliments my friend.

My knowledge pales in comparison to many.

13 Jan 2026 14:49:06
All great news so far this window…think we're recruiting at a level we didn't think we were capable of…good times.

13 Jan 2026 15:11:03
I for one am very grateful to guys like John and Aphelion with the info. Nice being a rangers fan again.

Olsen is a very smart piece of business.

13 Jan 2026 15:15:26
100% - I was kind of in denial with the Skov Olsen links at first, thought he was way out of our reach but this could be a massive coup for us.

We have the right manager in charge and its clear we have owners who are really serious about getting us back to where we belong.

Trust the process.

13 Jan 2026 16:08:17
Caution lads, it was all positive with the last 3 rebuilds
Fingers crossed, this next lot settle quick and live up to expectations ( which are huge! )

13 Jan 2026 16:10:49
Aphelion- posters like you and John provide a great source of information to all the Rangers supporters on this site.

13 Jan 2026 16:25:12
Agreed 👍

And please don't pull anyone up if something falls through or doesn't happen.

Many moving parts to these deals and we won't get everything we hear about across the line.

Thanks for the info guys.

13 Jan 2026 16:27:48
BAR that is always my worry. very rarely do players settle immediately and our expectations are always so high. we aren't trying to bed in 10-11 granted this time and we are playing well so hopefully it takes less time.

13 Jan 2026 16:30:30
Aphelion did say about Skov Olsen and it progressed very quickly. Credit to you.

13 Jan 2026 16:45:12
Bar i get what your saying but everyone can see there is a real shift in club thinking regarding age and profile of players here.

13 Jan 2026 17:06:21
Superb info as usual Aphelion and your knowledge of the scandanavian market is outstanding my friend 👌.

13 Jan 2026 17:18:53
Correct Marco things change that fast in transfer anything can go wrong.

13 Jan 2026 17:22:34
I think aphe. If he has the connections within his own club as he says and who are we to say different? Then he'll have info from all across his league and the players and agents it concerns.

A great poster to have on the site guys and deserves a wee bit more respect from some. Al say no more.

13 Jan 2026 17:25:31
Thanks a lot guys. I talk nonsense remember 😉😂.

13 Jan 2026 18:34:31
Aphe we all talk nonsense, your nonsense is better than our nonsense.

13 Jan 2026 19:13:37
Oh no John, I am not even close to the standard of you and others my friend.
