Rangers Debates 2

08 Jan 2026 14:23:48
Tuur Rommens flying in from Westerlo's training camp in Turkey to undergo medical

Fee agreed.

08 Jan 2026 12:39:38
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or more, wee Connor Barron is running the show, here we go shouting his name in the street, another 3 pts will go down a treat.

08 Jan 2026 14:10:40
Stop it 😂.

08 Jan 2026 16:31:43
What is that.

08 Jan 2026 17:13:10
at a guess snoopy versus the red baron song? only guessing not the numbers part.

08 Jan 2026 11:27:13
Fernandez is our joint top league scorer with 4 goals is it really feasible we can win a title with our forwards contributing those numbers.

08 Jan 2026 13:40:18
We've done OK recently with goals spread around the team OWS.
But I much prefer my strikers to be in and around the 15-20 mark along with others contributing.

08 Jan 2026 14:18:58
Ows, Yes just win the remaining games 1-0 with Fernandez scoring mate 👌, that question can't be answered.

08 Jan 2026 14:56:36
OWS 13 different scorers across the team so not relying on 1 player who may go off boil. If Shankland or Braga get injured then that could be double figure goals go missing from their team. I would rather they were scoring more but as long as we are scoring. need to also create more chances for them as well.

08 Jan 2026 16:32:13
If we had a striker that could score 20+ we would be romping this league easy.

08 Jan 2026 16:53:54
u mean dessers.

08 Jan 2026 00:06:56
So with a few on here regarding Sterling, flip the coin. You leave work, several hours later in your spare time you get arrested and you should be sacked from your job, give your head a wobble lol.

08 Jan 2026 03:24:57
It's completely different and if I got done do drink driving I would lose my job.

08 Jan 2026 08:30:34
You've minimalised that Davie. If it is DD it's a disaster for a so called athlete. Irresponsible and reckless. Unacceptable. I'd lose my job too.

08 Jan 2026 08:38:03
I should elaborate. Just because it my old role I'd have been sacked for DD however I wasn't a sportsman. If it's true, if, he'll be punished. Fined by the club too but hopefully play on having learned a big lesson.

08 Jan 2026 08:40:10
If I was arrested for drink driving, I would also be looking for a new job for various reasons and not sure how many new employers would take me on after my ban.

However i'd still imagine Sterling is still going to be a Rangers player. Some people will disagree with that because of their personal experiences with that issue which is fine and others are happy for him to be dealt with through the court processes etc and for that to be the end of it.

Sterling was probably my favourite player at the club, very disappointed.

08 Jan 2026 08:43:34
It's a wee bit of a different job to what us civilians do, he plays professionally for the biggest club in Scotland, supposedly a role model, a multi millionaire who could hire a Bentley and driver to chauffeur him about, it's zero tolerance for a reason, most people would get the sack for gross misconduct especially if yer job includes driving, but sadly his punishment will mean little to him, merely an inconvenience.

08 Jan 2026 08:45:46
possibly Storm but would your company wait until the court case was heard and you were found guilty.
I need to drive for my work but the contract says I need to be able to get from A to B so if I cna get a driver then they accept that. The courts do the punsihment; nobody is saying that he is above the law.

however there is a need imo to rehbilitate people when they break the law. btw I detest drink drivers and think their licence should be removed for longer but there is also a need to not ostracise them completely from their life. not about me not having morals btw.

08 Jan 2026 10:12:44
this is not condoning anything but certain jobs dictate which offences are acceptable or not. if you are a driver then of course if you can't drive then you will lose your job.

I do agree that high profile individuals have an obligation to their supporters to live a morally acceptable life but people have different moral standards.

08 Jan 2026 11:21:35
Storm, why does Sterling lose his job?

08 Jan 2026 11:48:07
I think losing his job is extreme I believe in second chances. He needs to be seriously punished though. Not sure what we can do legally ie docking wages etc but has to have some punishment.

08 Jan 2026 14:00:25
Wishy that's for the courts not us on here, soon be reading the lines about fetch the rope soon.

08 Jan 2026 16:36:59
Why because I think drink driving is that serious he shouldn't play for our club again. I said the same about Lawrence before an after we signed him. That is my stance. It's gross misconduct yately.


People going on about it's not that bad etc. people are losing their jobs because of tweets these days but hey drink diving is ok 😬

Has no one got any morals anymore? And I'll say it again if it wasn't Sterling and it was a Dowell or Matondo the people wanting him to keep his job would want rid of him.

08 Jan 2026 16:39:17
Angus I got sacked when I was younger because of something I done when I was at the darts years and years ago. I was through drink and drugs and they never offered to rehabilitate me an I told them I had a problem.

Companies don't need to. I will not support him. I will support my team but I will never support him no matter what he does.

08 Jan 2026 17:25:02
Storm legislation changes but you are right there isn't the need to rehabilitate that is my preference. they can dismiss him without waiting for the outcome of the court case but they do need to follow a fair procedure and have a valid reason that links the offence to the job e. g. gross misconduct or damage to reputation. first would need to have some sort of documentation in their procedures to back it and second unlikely given the other players we have kept in employment.

he is a young lad who, like you, made a mistake, which thankfully had no life-changing consequences for anyone. we have all made mistakes and I just think we need to support rather than cast him out. the courts are there to punish the individuals.
btw I abhor drink driving and would want the bans to be longer and feel punishment should fit the crime; so if someone had been injured or worse then the punishment should fit that.

08 Jan 2026 20:36:12
He isn't that young Angus he is 26 he should know better.

08 Jan 2026 00:05:44
Butland

Sterling
Souttar
Fernandez
Rommens

Barron
Raskin
Chukwuane

Maswanhise
Calum Wilson
Moore

That's a title winning team.

08 Jan 2026 02:42:06
Stevie I would be surprised if Wilson signs for them until the summer.

08 Jan 2026 03:43:51
Sorry, Wouldn't be, O'Neill knows he'll get him goals.

08 Jan 2026 06:19:05
Stevie I just read Chris Sutton saying Celtic should sign Maswanhise.

08 Jan 2026 14:04:09
Beale mate O'Neil has a record of signing the best talent from the league when he was at Celtic he done it a few times. Would
T surprise me if they bid £1m.

07 Jan 2026 16:40:10
Why does it feel like we have only just started talking to players now and not weeks ago?

Are we loosing out on our top targets.

07 Jan 2026 18:07:11
We can't talk 2 them before it as it be a rule breach your basically taping up a player I could be wrong tho mate?

07 Jan 2026 19:17:02
U can take through agents but cannot register until the window opens i'm sure a poster on here said wed met with 2 players before the window opened.

07 Jan 2026 19:54:21
We can speak to them before if their club allows it.

Ows talking through agents is tapping up with the players clubs knowledge.

07 Jan 2026 20:15:37
No such thing as tapping up now. Teams discuss with agents all the time.

07 Jan 2026 20:55:16
Can talk to them at any point if the other club accepts an offer / allows it. The window is just for registering the players.

07 Jan 2026 23:53:36
Jeezy peeps seriously.

08 Jan 2026 03:25:53
Without that's meant to be.

08 Jan 2026 08:46:50
Yes onewalter as we had permission from their clubs.

08 Jan 2026 08:48:26
if you had 3 companies all looking to hire you would you want to listen to them all and get the best deal for you and your family. If that process involved you moving to a foreign country would you also not want to find out more about that.


so we probably have been talking to agents, clubs etc but the whole process takes time for people to decide. as Davie says 'jeezy peeps'.

08 Jan 2026 10:15:15
if we are looking at a player that no other club wants should we be wanting them either.

if he is a good player then a lot of clubs will be showing interest. if i had 2 or 3 companies all wanting me to work for them i wouldn't be jumping at the first one to make an offer.

07 Jan 2026 13:29:23
Midfielder at Sturm Graz Chukwuani being linked according to Rangers Review.

07 Jan 2026 13:18:51
Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz the newest 6 linked to the club. This is the boy that was sent off Vs Celtic for a high tackle on Macgregor.

Rangers Review saying we have approached Sturm Graz about him. We are interested in Silas Andersen but have not spoke to his club, Hacken, but have spoken to his representatives in November whilst Thelwell was still here.

They also say that in left back a move for James Penrice is unlikely due to him being 27 and Rommens is the most likely incoming Left back linked so far as he is only 22.

Curtis and Cameron will leave on loan and Killie and St Mirren mentioned but not directly as destinations.

On Cortes he is going to Argentina as stated on here on a loan to buy deal which will contain a "significant purchase option".

07 Jan 2026 14:39:21
It's nothing to do with penrice age it's to do with his club not entering into discussions to sell him.

07 Jan 2026 15:17:48
Storm only passing on what Rangers Review are saying in their article and it specifies the biggest issue to them is his age but I have also previously said that AEK are unwilling to sell and what I read was they weren't willing to sell at even double or triple the original bid.

07 Jan 2026 16:10:59
I'd rather the Belgian lad anyway however he's free transfer in summer so we may wait to then. Penrice would be good tobget in now and get 3/4 good years out him as back up left back for me.

07 Jan 2026 17:00:37
Ayrshire good information although Tochi is not a 6 and I do not see him developing into a 6.

07 Jan 2026 23:54:54
Can cortes play for another club this season?

07 Jan 2026 11:43:57
Wee debate troops. I seen on FB, a fan was complaining about the lad with the drum in the UBs. Asking for it to be removed.
Whats your thoughts on this?
My view is, if you are near it, it can be irritating. But again without it, Would Ibrox be a graveyard.

So I say keep it.

07 Jan 2026 12:00:22
There the life blood of Ibrox and the atmosphere that's needed. Remember the cup game they were refused entry? You could hear a pin drop. If you don't like noise then Ibrox probably isn't the place for you.

My advice would be stay in the house and watch it because realistically if you can't handle a drum could u handle the noise in a bar or social club?

07 Jan 2026 12:13:09
In general I'd like the UBs removed - not just their drum.

07 Jan 2026 13:13:09
actually I am different I would like the drum inserted but I won't say where 😱.

same as EHL though get rid of ultras in football generally imo. if atmosphere is the constant regurgitation of 'the IRA has gone away' then we can do without it. nothing to do with Scotland or Scottish football.

07 Jan 2026 13:57:57
UB provide much needed atmosphere- I can't condone some of their actions but they are passionate about the club. They need to channel their energy in a positive way.

07 Jan 2026 14:40:45
Get rid of them because of all the crap they bring with them.

07 Jan 2026 15:11:28
As someone who isn't a part of them have sat in bf all my life and didn't really bother with them when there or when I travel abroad with Rangers but they never miss a game or a moment there there for 30 minutes before the game and 20/30 after.

They give us atmosphere and great nights especially in Europe and the old firm. Some of there sectarianism reflects badly on the club but that's rife through out the fan base and before anyone has a dig my name is due to me spending around half my year in Eindhoven nothing to do with the lodge ect. They put a lot more time and effort into the club that most of us through tifos, protests good or bad, charity work and creating new chants and bringing the younger generation into the fan base something that's depleted massively in recent years the amount of mates I've got who are Rangers men and there sons are Celtic fans due to how successful they've been / sway on the playground shows we need people like this to keep the fan base going. Personally would like to see more of the fan base get behind them inside Ibrox but probably not so much outwith.

07 Jan 2026 15:16:06
U ion bears are a very well run and financially backed organisation. They won't be going anywhere anytime soon guys Thata a fact.

07 Jan 2026 17:09:35
Union Bears are the only reason Ibrox has an atmosphere, the silence from the remainder of the support is almost embarrassing at times and the place would be a mixture of nervous inhales to goal celebrations without them. Your favourite chants come from these lads, alongside your favourite TIFO and your best night at Ibrox (Dortmund, probably)

They're young scheme lads, generally, from the West of Scotland - please expect them to have views that the more sensitive amongst us may find to be unsavoury, it's been hundreds of years gents and its not going anywhere fast so take a big gulp and man up.

Never been a Casual or an Ultra but respect the boys for the work.

07 Jan 2026 17:33:28
Been sat in bf2 for years. My wee bro is in the union bears. Absolutely nothing wrong with the young gen being passionate and vocal on the terraces. Better than half the sit down brigade that like to moan their way through the full match. That's more embarrassing, stop being prudes and enjoy the thunder.

07 Jan 2026 19:13:17
Like the energy but not the pyro.

07 Jan 2026 23:33:34
Forza papac on the button mate.

We're never going to be in total sync with them but without them we're nothing. They're the 12 man on euro nights and they follow the team far and wide.

They're here to stay so accept it.

08 Jan 2026 10:20:12
so why can't they just bring the good and leave the bad behind. why do we have to accept the drama that comes along with it. they seek attention for themselves, nothing more.
