Fork, Seeing it like that makes you think it's back four mate, more of a 4231, but switch of a couple of players it could still be 3 cb's, as long as it fluid, main thing is three points but would like a good performance, Rohl has definitely improved us as we wouldn't be picking up six points the last couple of league games.

09 Nov 2025 14:42:43
Like that he isn't worried about altering the setup👍.

09 Nov 2025 16:03:10
Looking like three out of three mate.

12 Nov 2025 06:18:08
It was a 442, I don't know what you were seeing bud.

13 Nov 2025 16:55:30
Bud lol man 😁😁😁.

09 Nov 2025 14:00:21
So what is the deal with Manny Fernandez?

Our defence has been poor all season and he's not been called on at all. Maybe a cameo, once if my memory serves.

Looks to me like its 3million odd on a squad filler.

09 Nov 2025 15:00:22
He's going to be the 1st one loaned out in January I think.

09 Nov 2025 15:58:13
Think you might be right Stevie, he's not even making squads.

09 Nov 2025 21:53:24
Not making the grade.

09 Nov 2025 22:33:32
Is loan him to a physical league where he'll
Likely show up well, he's apparently good on the ball so maybe with a slower tempo to the game too.

Germany Belgium Holland France and see how he does.

Duncan Ferguson in the Daily Record backing Chermiti and saying moving to Rangers is a big adjustment for any player and he is still just 21.

I am supportive of Chermiti and hope he can kick on quickly under Rohl and maybe we'll have player.

I did have to laugh however when Ferguson was quoted as saying Chermiti ' has to find his feet'. I think that would be a good start for any striker and then hopefully he can find the goal😂.

09 Nov 2025 19:47:21
Why? Is he wearing somebody else's feet - that may explain things🤔.

09 Nov 2025 09:45:09
Thelwell has spent 20/30 million and made our team significantly worse, still he has the January window to resume himself !

09 Nov 2025 10:05:01
I sincerely hope not, get him and stewart out ASAP.

08 Nov 2025 21:43:10
Hearts have brought in 10 new players this season. Only 4 cost a combined fee of 3 million. We have brought in 14 new players with 8 costing a combined fee of 29.7 MILLION. Hearts have scored 16 more goals than us and conceded 1 less. They have 14 Scottish players, to our 8. The 49ers seem blind to the fact that our recruitment is dire and flawed and totally useless. They are billionaire businessmen with supposed business acumen, strategy and knowledge. Alky Pete from the chip shop knows that our recruitment is crap, so why don't these businessmen see what we all see? Our recruitment has made us last in the Europa league with 0 wins, from last eight contenders and finalists to the worst in 50 years. Far weaker than ever before. 0 wins. Thelwell has single handedly made us crap in less than a season. 60 + goals to 12 so far. I hoped the 49ers would bring in a new dawn. So far, they have brought misery. Martin, Thelwell, Stewart, Thelwells son and 14 new and not up to standard players. We have regressed and it isn't good.

Cavanaugh seriously doesn't get us. Doesn't get our league or Scotland in general. I think they should sell us on, because so far, in my opinion, they are hindering us and making us worse than ever. We have never ever been so ridiculed in Europe. The blame lies at the hands of 4 men. Marath, cavanagh, Stewart and Thelwell. Not one is Rangers. Not one has been born into the environment in which Rangers and Celtic have. Not one really cares about Ibrox and it's history. We have become an investment for Americans. Only one of the whole board, lives in Scotland. The rest are in Hong Kong, Singapore, USA and England. How many people at the minute have even looked at who owns us? They are all investment people with fingers in many pies. We are just a risk. A hobby. Let me make it clear and simple. Falkirk FC, this year, have spent 0 and are above us in the league. Not 1 penny and they are doing better than us. Not spent 1 pence on a player and are above us. We've spent 29 million.

08 Nov 2025 22:34:35
They don't see this as a hobbie, they are business minded people only interested in a profit, made a few mistakes early doors, but for profit they need a successful Rangers team on the park whineonthewine.

08 Nov 2025 23:29:16
Ah yes, genius! they should just "sell us on" but to who?

09 Nov 2025 09:01:20
Hearts also have a very good player integration programme.

09 Nov 2025 09:10:41
There is no magic wand for us. We have been down in the doldrums for how long.
Thelwell has been a disaster but the 49ers have a good track record with guys who know their business.


Did they maybe underestimate the task yes but given time I think they will take us back to the top.
Short term so far not great but long term I have hope they will make us Rangers of old.

09 Nov 2025 13:38:58
That seems from the outside Ehl to be a big problem here for us.

09 Nov 2025 14:16:26
It absolutely is Stevie, there's no way that Chermiti should have played as many minutes as he has - taking in to consideration his experience, the time he's missed through injury, the fact he didn't do preseason with the squad and current atmosphere around the squad - it shouldn't have happened.

09 Nov 2025 15:02:34
Yeah mate I had Miovski down as forst pick.

For me signing Chermiti a young project striker then Dessers should have stayed as forst pick.

Only have signed Miovski either on loan or if we moved Danilo on.

Dessers
Chermiti
Miovski or Danilo

Is how I'd have worked it for what it's worth.

08 Nov 2025 21:12:01
Katic
Hagi
Dessers
Cerny

4 players that would vastly improve the team we have right now.

4 players we could easily have without any form of difficulty

We haven't hard made
Life hard for ourselves and by that I meant the fans.

Hounded out 3 of those guys.

They all walk into and improve our 11 right now.

08 Nov 2025 21:42:02
Katic nope.
Hagi nope.
Dessers and Cerny yes.

08 Nov 2025 22:22:03
Hagi has scored a fabulous goal today from 30 yards out on Onana, former ManU goalie.
Despite of what many are saying, Hagi was badly treated by Rangers. Despite what he endured here, he never wanted to leave.

08 Nov 2025 22:35:05
Same as that mph.

08 Nov 2025 23:13:49
That's all fair enuff lads.

I gathered it would be mixed. z

But would yous not admit Katic improved our team right now?

Hagi improves team right now?

09 Nov 2025 08:46:47
Stevie how is Hagi going improve us mate?

09 Nov 2025 10:43:09
Souttar, who so many criticise, I would say is comfortably a better centre back than Katic.

Hagi, brought with him a toxic circus, that would raise its head every tenth game where he actually turned on a performance.

Dessers, personally I was never a fan and think moving him on was the right call.

Cerny, even if we could afford his salary, he had no intention of returning.

09 Nov 2025 13:44:02
I think having offers more to us than what I've seen so far from Antman or Aasgaard or even to a certain extent Gassama too.

Dessers offers more than Chermiti or Miovski or Danilo

Katic would have a better defensive record than Souttar by far we'd not be conceding as many goals and he'd have chipped in woth a few.
Being comfortable on the ball isn't what defending is about ots aboit not conceding goals, even ped ditched the goalie thing when he signed donnaruma.

It's ok saying u don't want these guys I name but they improve out 11 right now.

I remember talking with John and he said we need better than some players I had mentioned, that's fine but we didn't sign better we signed worse. Katic would be best defender at the club instantly Infact he may be best in league, ccv is that just now.
They've shown to be better than what we have.

09 Nov 2025 17:14:54
Stevie, Ccv isn't even the best cb at Celtic mate.

09 Nov 2025 18:11:24
Fair play Beale. I strongly believe Katic is exactly what we are missing right now he would compliment Souttar greatly or play him on the right where he is natiral and he would partner and compliment Cornelius.

I'd be signing Katic 1000%

And a pacey partner to play beside him. Cornelius at left back Tav at right back until the summer and upgrade on him next.

09 Nov 2025 20:55:25
Stevie I'm saying that, but that's only going on what friends that follow Celtic say, Katic is decent mate but Souttar is a better cb imo.

09 Nov 2025 21:30:50
Beale, I think everyone would be extremely surprised at just how good Katic a these days.
I know your a fan of Souttar mate, he gives away way too many aerial duels for his size for me mate.
We lose a lot of goals thru him losing or missing the n the the air. Even if it's not direct from that it's the follow up.

We need 2 new centre backs and I'd keep him as back up with Nsiala, Cornelius could also cover if emergency.
