Rangers Debates 5

Jeezo the point i'm making is if had a better striker at that time it would have made a big difference. You are entitled to your opinion fork but for me Dessers wasn't good enough. We can agree to disagree.

27 May 2026 22:09:46
I thought you told everyone to move on.

27 May 2026 22:26:16
Rob, how many goals did you expect him to score? Just so I can hold Shankland to that figure next season. 🤷

27 May 2026 22:46:23
Rab, why don't you just reply to your original post?

28 May 2026 07:46:51
No worries, Rab. 👍

28 May 2026 11:36:41
Rab, look at the bottom of your original post, press reply. You don't need to be creating a new post, mate.

28 May 2026 15:53:46
Is this the 2nd day or 3 day of rabs meltdown?

27 May 2026 19:29:46
Not been in for a while guys but if we're talking Scottish players I would be after watt, graham, other players in the league I like are longelo wakanise, elija, halkett but his injury probably put paid to that, but if it was me watt Graham would be a must.

27 May 2026 20:54:12
I'm 99.9 % sure Graham ain't happening, but always that % tho.

28 May 2026 01:21:33
You should have said something, David.

28 May 2026 09:42:38
Nice one, Tom. Succinct.

28 May 2026 15:54:32
Another snide remark from TT.

27 May 2026 10:18:08
Can I just say many thanks to all of our contributors.
I faithfully check these pages for any updates for the Glasgow Rangers.
It's a rumours page so there should be no animosity.
Keep them coming please, for those of us struggling it's a god send ty.
I just want shankland in asap then more and more Scot's. Ty.

27 May 2026 11:21:44
He is in Dodel, here's to a good recruitment and we get off to a flyer.

27 May 2026 11:51:54
Good post dc. i'm also enjoying reading all the posts and discussions. a lot of really good info and points of view being shared. Looks like there's a lot more to come as well in the transfer window as well. Looking forward to it

27 May 2026 15:56:38
Isn't it such a nice place when we aren't dropping points every weekend. What it should be like.

27 May 2026 21:17:17
Nice to have a weekend not ruined. 😁😁🙄🙁

27 May 2026 08:37:35
John, not putting you in the spot, but from memory I think you mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we had a couple of players pretty much agreed (sorry John if this wasn't you - but was definitely one of the guys close to these matters)

Not looking for names, but wondered if you might share what positions these players play in and whether or not they have experience in SPL?

Thanks.

Been posted a few times.

RW

Can't remember if there was a CB in there too?

27 May 2026 14:59:19
Bear, we need to be patient, better saying nothing. If I say d midfield and we play him on the right, the moaners say I'm wrong. I've said I won't name names till window is over, as many say our rumours bring nothing as it will be in papers. Sorry Bears, Bear.

The spoiler team have spoiled what was an excellent rumour page.

27 May 2026 15:50:47
Far more enjoy your posts and rumours, John, than those that would put u down. As regularly said, until scarf is over their head and all is signed, lots can change, so your info is correct at the time. Even then can still collapse like Jardel.

28 May 2026 07:45:07
John, I get where you're coming from with spoilers, but they only ruin it if you let them. I'm currently sticking my neck on the line, saying Graham ain't signing. If I'm wrong, so be it. We all, or should I say most of us all, realise it's rumours, and things can change at the last minute regarding signings.

26 May 2026 19:38:59
How about Barron plus cash to Bologna for Ferguson 👀.

26 May 2026 20:36:18
Would Bologna not need to want Barron?

26 May 2026 21:27:21
Apparently they have interest, John.

26 May 2026 21:55:24
Who says they are interested? As I haven't seen anywhere not saying it isn't true, just asking?

26 May 2026 22:57:50
Keep Barron.

27 May 2026 07:26:18
Blue89, correct, few clubs in Italy interested in Barron, Bologna is one of them.

27 May 2026 08:03:18
Is it not that there are rumours that there is interest for Barron from a few clubs in Italy. Nothing official. So totally different. Bit like there being interest in Ferguson from us probably.

27 May 2026 08:15:07
Yes, Angus, just media talk, but Blue89 must have seen it.

27 May 2026 10:55:28
That is what I ams align, Star. Someone has seen a rumour. How many rumours have there been of players we are reported to have interest in that haven't come to fusion for many reasons? Ferguson, I think, is hope, as we have stopped winning and it is because we don't have 'Rangers men' in the team.

Personally, I don't care who they support and just want winners. Lots of other winning teams don't have supporters in them; in fact, supporting the team may make them try too hard and be negative on performance.

28 May 2026 07:45:59
I did read an Italian team had interest, but never said who.

26 May 2026 18:40:29
Excellent news 💙
Have a good feeling about this summer now
Think we're going to build a strong team.

26 May 2026 20:30:42
All good having individuals, Stingo, not good if they can't form a team. Think we'll see a few experienced players with leadership qualities signed this window, mate. Like to see more Scottish players, Penrice, McCrorie spare fullbacks, and good enough for pushing for a start, and Luke Graham, that would be my first choice three.
We can manage Lewis Ferguson, he'd jump right to the front.

26 May 2026 21:55:39
We say that every year Stig.

26 May 2026 22:33:53
And, we go again, Stig. Every year lately the same. 😉😉

26 May 2026 22:58:19
Haha, I know.
But, we have to believe it will happen one year, and this year I'm all in on it.
As someone else said, it couldn't get any worse finishing 3rd.
Think we're going to really build a successful team this year, one to bring back the Ibrox Roar.

Treble for me next season, feel it in my bones. 😂😊💙

27 May 2026 06:30:23
I'm with u, Stig, much more positive for next season. Especially compared to last year, knowing it would be a complete disaster.

27 May 2026 18:17:08
Stig, keep being positive and, like the broken clock, we will eventually be right. I hope, like you, it will be this year.

26 May 2026 13:11:05
Update from Rangers Review today is:

Shankland will be announced this evening

Windass is not a target confirmed by Ibrox sources

There has been no bid for Elliot Watt but he is shortlisted for the 6 position

A deal to sign Dan Neil is not close to agreement but we are in talks

We have held initial talks with Luke Graham but no official approach has been made to Dundee and he is just shortlisted at this point.

26 May 2026 13:20:14
Thanks Ayrshire, good information. 👍

26 May 2026 15:36:03
I'm hearing something completely different on Watt. And from a family member too. Maybe they are doung the old club shill bit and saying no offer because it's not an official offer.

26 May 2026 16:05:09
Thanks Ayrshire.

27 May 2026 09:39:54
Ayrshire, sorry but that's rubbish regarding Graham. We would need to take an official approach to Dundee to even speak to Graham. He's under contract, so what you're saying is we're tapping a player then?

27 May 2026 11:29:21
Davie, agents talk to clubs all the time. Nothing new here.

27 May 2026 11:45:09
Gees, so we're tapping players. I get agents talk to clubs touting their players, but we certainly have not held talks with Graham. Maybe asking an agent of availability possibly.

27 May 2026 12:59:49
Davie, you are right. A football club can only legally talk to a contracted player or their agent under the following specific circumstances:

Official Club Permission: The buying club obtains written permission from the player's current club. This typically happens after the two clubs have agreed on the parameters of a transfer fee.

The Final Six Months: If the player is entering the final six months of their contract, they are permitted to sign a pre-contract agreement with a new team. In this scenario, the buying club is free to negotiate directly with the player or their agent without asking their current club.



Release Clause Trigger: If a player has a valid release clause (or buyout clause) in their contract and an interested club meets that specified valuation, the current club is obligated to grant the player permission to negotiate personal terms.

Attempting to negotiate directly with a player or their agent without meeting these conditions is strictly prohibited by governing bodies like FIFA and is known as "tapping up".

Perhaps by approach it is meant that he has been asked if he would be interested in moving. That, I think, is within the laws.

01 Jun 2026 11:56:03
So what happens if a player who signs wants to, in his contract, he can talk to any higher ranked club than the one he's at.

Would that not render rules about approaching invalid?
