Rangers Debates 4

I find it hard to believe, that last year Derek Mcinnes whilst at Hearts signed players from second and third divisions of European countries and this year he has said you know what I want? MLS and Championship jobbers please!

As i posted post game yesterday That's four successive managers in a row who have played the same poor football, we got rid of the so called problem core of players, yet the same dross is still on display, makes me wonder who is actually calling the shots on team selection and tactics.

With all carry on with transfers, club will not be seen in good light by players as a good option,
Can see the only reason players are coming is if we pay ridiculous salaries compared to what they will get elsewhere, Dan Neil as example
We will be laughing stock, only we could have player at game to show him off, then find out about injury, if you believe that you will believe any nonsense that AC & club put out in media,
Just a stunt to try & appease some of the fans.

But the PSV director also confirmed the injury. 🤷‍♂️

Rangers pulled the plug on the Couhaib Driouech deal because a medical scan revealed a thigh muscle tear that would sideline him much longer than PSV initially expected. The exam was meant to determine the exact extent of the damage, which, to me, sounds like the due diligence everyone always wants us to have to stop us from signing players with an injury.

Remember the fuss with Rommens last season

PSV acknowledge the player is injured, but just disagree with how long the medical says he will be out for.

Not disputing facts that both clubs knew boy was carrying an injury & may have had different options on recovery time.
Rangers quite correct to not sign him if there is any chance of it being an ongoing issue.
It's the fact they knew all this, but still had him at the game, giving fans the impression his signing was almost complete when in fact they had all the relevant facts & signing was off.


You now have Derek Ferguson apparently having a go at the club for wasting his son's time over a proposed signing.
If this is the way we conduct our business, no one will take you seriously in future.

I completely agree with all posts on here. We as a club have become a top 6 club not top 2. Too many good managers have had to start a " rebuild " every summer to make up for the previous season failure.

Can't continue in this vain, it's financial suicide and bringing the standing of the club down each season.

Players should be walking to Ibrox, desperate to pull on the jersey and play, now we are rummaging in the supermarket reduced section and still paying huge wages and expenses.

Give us a team of players who want to play and bring success to the club, not a bunch of guys who want to use us as a stepping stone.

This season is already almost over, lose on Sunday and Thursday and all we have is the Scottish cup. Can't see the other lot losing many points at the moment and they may even make the group stage of the champions league, and guaranteed Europa at worst. The players signed by them are good enough for the higher leagues in Europe

It's so bloody frustrating we can't ever get this sorted

And we wonder why Stevie G. knocked the job back. Bet you Derek wishes he never took the job. 😮😩

14 Aug 2026 14:59:44
Actually, he doesn't.

He's pretty determined to turn things round.

14 Aug 2026 15:20:28
And, I hope he does, Ehl. I am tired of change after change. I am not his biggest fan, but we need to give him time and hope he comes good.

14 Aug 2026 15:21:07
Good to hear Ehl.

I back him to do it, give him the right tools for the job and let him show what he can do.
It's not an overnight fix with a massive turnover of players on out the club.

14 Aug 2026 15:36:45
If we change a manager or squad every year, then yeh it will never change. Give a chance.

Gerrard was right. He said something at the top would prevent him from being a success. He gave us a warning shot.

14 Aug 2026 17:52:54
Tol, I think Gerrard was talking about the SFA.

14 Aug 2026 14:03:18
Although Cammy Devlin would tackle an elephant, on any other metric, he is not a midfielder and should be nowhere near our club.

Criticise Dan Neil, or any of the other mids, but they can take a pass with the right body shape and they can see a forward pass and play it.

I see Derek McIness getting a pass from many on here, but Cammy Devlin is 100% on him.

Takes your breath away thinking about the start of the season to now. How far away we actually are. If there is folk out there that still have believe in this group that's something I can't do. Unless some serious quality comes in and at a fast rate this season could get ugly and let's be honest better decision's. Who's going to sign for him! Take you off if you're playing well then blame the player afterwards.

that's what i thought he did he did with Aasgaard last night. He's a player that's not great either but he was at least trying. When he went of it's was noticeable. At that's were we are as a football club. That it's noticeable when Thelo Aasgaard goes off. Up there with some of my darkest times watching us the now. From positivity and feel good to the abyss.
