Rangers Debates 3

07 Jan 2026 10:43:01
Any word on when we will get the announcement of the player that just signed?

07 Jan 2026 12:24:12
Cracking, few posters on here including myself hearing Watson has agreed terms so could possibly be him.

07 Jan 2026 10:05:03
Unbelievable Rangers, get your fingers out. Don't yous realise there is only a mere 26 days left in the transfer window. Disgraceful.

07 Jan 2026 16:26:23
OT I hear there will be an announcement tomorrow and if not then possibly the day after. oh and if that isn't right it will be the day after that 😂.

07 Jan 2026 17:50:18
Lies angus it's the day after that.

06 Jan 2026 23:35:29
We proved tonight that our squad is nowhere good enough Aasgaard, Danilo Aarons please get players in pronto and we can win this league.

07 Jan 2026 00:59:56
Aasgaard done well when he came on, we will sign quality, this team is getting better all the time, few quality signings and we will rock on.

07 Jan 2026 01:12:30
Aarons was on the park for 6 minutes. 🤣 don't think Danilo did anything wrong and Aasgaard was absolutely fine.

Why does Miovski evade your list?

07 Jan 2026 02:38:32
Assgaard similar to dio not cut out for tough games wants too much time and all backwards sidewards stuff he's meant to be a more attacking player from what we were told.

07 Jan 2026 07:09:06
I think Aasgaard has the tools to be a good player but he's in the wrong league. He's tidy enough on the ball but he's so slow at times and lacks urgency. You cannot stroll about our domestic league competition and shine.

It's early days thou. Some take longer to settle and get up to speed thou. For a big unit he IMO lacks some real bite and physicality.

07 Jan 2026 07:21:13
Didn't see any issues with the 3 you called out. Aberdeen are traditionally tough opponents for us but we out played them all over the park, interestingly we've had people recommend a number of there players on here as potential signings. I didn't think there was a single Aberdeen player who would improve our squad on last nights performance.

Assgaard is a bit of an enigma, he has great ability but just now he appears inconsistent, this will improve over time however, currently at his age and experience we need to accept that we're not getting a 8 out of 10 player week in and week out. I think he's only 23 so this will naturally improve over time.

07 Jan 2026 08:27:39
He Offered nothing going forward but at 2-0 up he helped keep it tight. We looked so comfortable 2nd half and barely gave them a sniff.

07 Jan 2026 08:41:32
and to say that Dio isn't cut out for the tough games after Saturday and last night. well what can I say.
I thought Aasgaard did well when he came on and clever man management by Rohl to get him back on the horse asap after Saturday. like Dio he takes the ball in tight situations and creates space for himself and others. they get caught occasionally but better than just lumping it forward.


on that watched the game on Sky last night and the guy sitting behind the commentators spent all game shouting get the ba' forward; that is in between his constant swearing. that is what any manager and team has to go against when they want to play good football. Scottish fans in general don't like patient build up.

07 Jan 2026 09:51:33
Some do need to go. I think everyone on here will admit that. But our squad isn't as bad as many of us thought.
Rohl is working wonders.

07 Jan 2026 09:58:17
Got to agree I thought Aasgaard played well last night when he came on.

07 Jan 2026 10:49:20
Angus, I agree with most of your points but there is slow and patient build up and a father is dithering and losing momentum.
I think we are both at times.

07 Jan 2026 11:51:54
Aasgaard did well when he came on. He does look (almost) lethargic at times but definitely has something about him. I'm not convinced he can consistently produce the goods, but I for one, am prepared to give him time.
Looking forward to one or two new faces to help freshen things up and keep building momentum.
Can we do it, yes we can! 🇬🇧.

07 Jan 2026 13:12:29
Diomande is our only cm that gets in behind, he is another that is all over the park, some see nothing in him and that's fine.

07 Jan 2026 13:16:53
Pieter I agree. I am speaking about when there isn't a pass forward and when we recycle backwards and across. I think we have stopped the latter to an extent when it isn't needed. what I would say is we sometimes don't get the first pass out wide in early enough.

07 Jan 2026 14:42:38
Dio is a good player some fans expect to much from him IMO.

07 Jan 2026 17:11:45
Angus, Would agree on that. Can be very slow and find big Fernandez hesitant at that.
Other times I don't think it needs to go through all the players in the back line.
Let the ball do the work and bypass a player.

07 Jan 2026 17:17:21
What people r missing is supporters need a new target, fernandes doing well, Chermiti best striker ever to wear blue certain people need another target, so step forward Diomande and Aasgaard.

07 Jan 2026 22:15:33
John sorry took that as a given. you are 100% right. normally on rotation.

06 Jan 2026 21:57:47
Well done boys onto Sunday now.

07 Jan 2026 07:22:50
I'm struggling to see Sunday going ahead (I get we still need to prepare for this), the weather looks awful up there and more snow is predicted to fall between now and then.

I would prefer to play them now while they are as poor as they are.

07 Jan 2026 08:43:07
Dado there was a bit of a thaw overnight. Can now see the cars in my street so game should be okay. I think the forecast for next few days is a mixture of snow and rain (mainly rain).

07 Jan 2026 13:11:02
Perfect Angus, let's do them twice then 🤣.

06 Jan 2026 16:12:31
Can I add to the Sterling chat here, if he has been charged with drink driving he would have to be suspended on pay until found guilty before the business/club could look to dismiss him.

Even at that point IF he was to say he had an alcohol problem for example then the club have a duty of care to look after him, offer him assistance and help with counselling and rehabilitation.

They can't simply sack him til after all that has been exhausted.

So why suspend him on full pay until after all that when we have a title to win.

For me he plays.

06 Jan 2026 16:52:56
I agree Stevie. Not an easy decision for the club and there is no doubt the big man has made a serious error of judgement.
On balance the club has to support him and let the legal process take it's course.

06 Jan 2026 17:11:00
I agree also lads yesterday I suggested what you guys are saying there's legal due processes to be taken we don't even know what he has done yet but he is being condemned on rumours. At the end of the day a business is a business whether its football or construction, etc every employee has t&c's, he was on his own time, not in a works vehicle and not conducting any work activities at the time so why would he be suspended from his work.

If, like some suggested he should be dismissed he has a case for unfair dismissal and a law suit incoming. I suggest we all just take a breath let the club and police do what they need to and then once we know all the facts then have our say. To be clear before I get abused drink driving is 100 % wrong and anyone caught should be punished accordingly.

06 Jan 2026 17:14:55
Calside you're absolutely right mate. he's made a total cun* of it for himself in a way.

But the law for businesses is strict and we couldn't just sack him even if we wanted to.

He must be offered counselling and help IF he were to say he has an alcohol problem.

Court from now til trial if he wanted to plead not guilty could be over a year

If he pleads guilty at his first opportunity whicj is likely he would then be subject to background reports to assess what punishment he can be givin suitable to his circumastnace and background. Ie mental health and past offending current living circumstances and so on.

The next court appearance therefore could be a few weeks away then maybe a month to a few months for sentencing

Be the summer by time he's beem convicted, at that point they club would have to have exhausted all offers of help to the player before they could then sack him but that would only be if he done something of the same nature through alcohol again that we would be legally aloud tk sack him for it.

Way way overboard conversations to have imo.

He plays like normal and he takes his punishment like a man and we try to win the title.

I'd then be happy to sell him in the summer.

06 Jan 2026 17:57:20
We all have made mistakes in the past… Everyone of us🤕✌️🇬🇧.

06 Jan 2026 18:27:50
I still find it strange that the media hasn't picked up on it, if it's been leaked to someone on here surely some police fae the dark side would tip off their colleagues in the daily rebel for instance. If it's been covered up it's only going to make it worse.

06 Jan 2026 19:07:38
He wasn't arrested for drink driving no mater who's granddaughter is a cop.

06 Jan 2026 22:38:10
I don't believe he'd be on the park tonight if he was charged with drink driving, I wouldn't like to think he was.

06 Jan 2026 23:36:27
He most definitely was Newtonards. Come back to me once it's out in public my friend 🫡.

07 Jan 2026 02:39:43
No punishment or talk of it until found guilty for me.

07 Jan 2026 07:26:11
Has he been charged with drink driving? My understanding is the circumstances have not been confirmed, regardless of people putting 'FACT' after their opinion.

I can't see him playing if he was, I think the club would get slaughtered if they did.

Let's wait to see the real facts (note, no capital letters making a real t*t of myself) before speculating.

07 Jan 2026 10:01:30
All speculation. A lot talking as if it's been made public of the offense. I forgot one will wait on the outcome. Even if it is the worst case scenario, we are all guilty of mistakes and errors of judgement.

The main thing is that whatever caused this crash, no one was injured. And whatever caused it, dujon while learn from it, as we all have at times in life with mistakes.

07 Jan 2026 12:30:57
Why would Sterling need sacked or suspended for something he did in his own time which never affected his employment, surely that would breach UK employment laws.

07 Jan 2026 14:44:43
Davie you can be sacked for stuff you do out of your office people get sacked for posting stupid stuff online all the time or doing something at a football match that hasn't nothing to do with your work. I was sacked when I was younger for doing something silly and I deserved it and it was out of work.

07 Jan 2026 16:13:05
Storm if it involves alcohol and u have a contract then the business that emus u are duty bound to offer counselling and help if u admit u have a problem.

I worked with the council years back and I kept missing Mondays eventually rather than be sacked I had to say I was an alcoholic and was given counselling instead of sacked.

07 Jan 2026 23:21:38
Fb, why would he be sacked? If he or any other player is red carded do you
Expect them
To be banned from driving? It's got nothing much do do with the club what he does in his spare time,

06 Jan 2026 11:53:06
Anyone else struggling to fathom why there's been no solid transfer activity?

When the takeover happened I'm pretty sure we were told there would be a robust and decisive approach to the transfer windows, which doesn't seem at all the case.

This year, of all the recent years is the year we need to have a seriously impactful January, We never thought midway through the RM stint that we would go on to be in a potential title race, now we are, with a squad that's barely keeping it's head above water.

In my opinion there should have been at least 3 players walking in the door this first week, ready to train and play, and immediately start making impacts in upcoming games. Instead what will probably happen is a long and drawn out window, with a few loanees and no real improvement to the squad moving forward.

I hope I'm wrong.

🇬🇧🇬🇧.

06 Jan 2026 12:15:53
not really, january window is a difficult window for everyone.

what is your definition of a robust and decisive approach, if we got to mid/late jan and managed to bring in good players that fit the team for the correct prices, would that not be considered decisive or robust just because it didn't happen in the first week?

Anyway Rohl said in his interview they are actively working hard to bring people in.

06 Jan 2026 12:24:29
Club targets rarely get out these days. We are only just into the 6th day of the window.

06 Jan 2026 12:50:25
This is just pure nonsense how many days we into January? January is notorious for being a hard window to get quality in. Would you rather we just signed players that aren't good enough just to please fans like you?

06 Jan 2026 13:32:05
Jfm, little coms out, nowadays it originates from foreign countries or agents.

06 Jan 2026 13:44:59
We want other clubs players and they need a replacement lined up or he'll not be sold this month EKGER, that simple mate.

06 Jan 2026 14:26:42
Stormtrooper, I think it's safe to say we've known for a while that incomings were needed, or do you think we only start looking at players and deals come the first day of the window? We've had no creativity all season, a shaky defence, all season, lack of goals, all season, and an obvious acceptance that players were needed.

But yeah we've not to wonder why there hasn't been obvious recruitment activity. Sound as mate.

06 Jan 2026 15:04:13
The manager says he has met targets, looked at players recommended by recruitment dept.
So something is happening.

06 Jan 2026 15:06:06
EKGER that's not the point, obviously they have been looking at targets to bring in.

Clubs don't want to let their good players go, clubs are also, just like you, aware of what Rangers need this window and will probably be trying to get Rangers to pay over the odds. Given we are looking for quality, we won't be the only team trying to sign certain players and the ones we are interested in may choose to go elsewhere, further delaying transfer business.

If it was as easy as you make it out to be, we'd have had all of our targets in the door January 1st and all the players we need to sell to keep squad numbers lower/wages lower/and generate funds would have also been sold on the 1st of Jan.

06 Jan 2026 15:06:31
Sigh. Impatience and Petulance is the hallmark of a Rangers Transfer Window.

06 Jan 2026 15:51:37
Skins not just a Rangers issue it's a football fan issue every club will be the same lol.

06 Jan 2026 16:06:51
Welcome EK Ger. 3 in I have heard in January LB, 6 and a 10'with Rothwell leaving. Cameron and Curtis out on loan 🫡.

06 Jan 2026 16:17:28
Correct John, the club is not sitting Idle. We are ensuring that we do the best deals for Rangers and Danny to be successful.

06 Jan 2026 16:51:58
Can totally understand the frustration though unfortunately it is normal. Owners made a total mess so could have expected to make more of an effort to make sure deals were done early to repair their damage. Hearts already had players lined up. Even Nancy got one over the line despite only being in a month.

So not unreasonable to hope for us to have acted quicker to secure deals. Important thing is tho that they get done and improve the team tho and not leave it too late. For me this window decides the title.

06 Jan 2026 16:58:35
I'd imagine completing a deal is difficult.
Patience is required.

06 Jan 2026 17:07:54
Missing the full point of my post which I am not surprised with 👍 had a good one.

06 Jan 2026 17:38:21
It's the 6th of January. The 1st of January is a public holiday so we're on day 5. There is discussions going on and January is a difficult market. I think that's the reality of it. No panic buying, only getting the right quality in that improves the starting 11.

It's easier said than done. Other clubs bringing in players early doesn't mean they've brought the right players in. Keep the faith.

06 Jan 2026 18:24:36
Storm I agree do we just sign any player to keep the fans happy or keep trying to get the right ones in.

I now await the calls of how we got our 3rd and 4th choices as the press link us with everyone to only say next day we missed out on them.

06 Jan 2026 19:32:18
Would be a bit concerned if it was the 26th of January still plenty of time.

07 Jan 2026 02:41:13
This happened in summer too then last few weeks bang bang bang transfers let's hope the quality is there and touch wood no injuries before signings.

06 Jan 2026 11:09:53
At 9 am Rangers put a social media post out of the game so looks like it's going ahead, as long as Aberdeen can make it then I get fan safety but it's their choice if they want to travel or not,

06 Jan 2026 10:13:47
Cmon out to play Forky boy, your patter is missed😄.

06 Jan 2026 08:22:55
Wee shout out to Butland, I know he's not everyone's cup of tea because he's calm and doesn't scream like shagger but overall he's been great for us all season. he's got a mistake in him but when you give up as much chances as we have recently, there's going to be a few that go in.

Yes, he should have stopped Shanklands effort but how many points has he gained us this season and that penalty record, even better than Mcgregors. He must be standing there genuinely believing its not going in.

06 Jan 2026 12:51:37
Good post an I agree 100%.

06 Jan 2026 15:52:16
He's won as far more points than he's cost us. He's the last person in the 11 I'd be looking to replace.
