We need to try to get a winning streak going as this league is still wide open.

08 Dec 2025 05:36:41
Winning streak of one 😜. I get the sentiment and agree mate, we just need to focus on Hibs and getting 3 points.

08 Dec 2025 21:46:38
We need to take one game at a time.

05 Dec 2025 20:49:13
So shankland not good enough but Murray is give me peace.

05 Dec 2025 22:29:20
Eh? Who you talking too?

06 Dec 2025 00:01:43
You talking too me,
that was in a rab de Niro voice by the way. 😛.

06 Dec 2025 07:28:33
He was good in the film Mask to be fair. Deserved an Oscar for playing Rocky Dennis.

06 Dec 2025 08:25:20
Eric Stolz played Rocky Dennis, DeNiro wasn't in it.

06 Dec 2025 14:15:19

06 Dec 2025 14:16:04

07 Dec 2025 14:17:30
🤣👍 brill.

04 Dec 2025 17:08:02
With all the duds at Rangers - who's going to buy them? Who's going to make us money?

04 Dec 2025 16:58:22
Players like Antmann and Asgasrd will have decent profiles as internationalist and we should get our money back they're not suited to our league i'd also expect Rothwell to command a fee the same as miovsky so we won't make money but if selling thise 4 brings in around 8m that's imo not unattainable where we lose money us on guys like Chermiti and Fernandez.

04 Dec 2025 18:22:33
you are making the assumption we are looking to sell them. with a few injuries we are down to the bones just now so I suspect we will be looking to add to squad with 2-4 quality experienced players who give us what we don't have or to act as first choice where we have a younger player who needs the mentoring which I saw EHL mention in another thread to bring them on.

04 Dec 2025 19:26:56
We need to sell them, players who show absolutely no commitment should not wear our jersey, this they will be better with more experience around them is nonsense.
We need players who give their all, all of the time, not just when circumstances are better.


I, m ashamed watching some of these players, they are supposed to be professional sportsman, we can't and shouldn't make excuses for them.

04 Dec 2025 21:40:01
Angus we can't just add players we will need to get rid of some. What's the point keeping guys who won't make it.

04 Dec 2025 22:08:06
OWS I know we can't but I still feel some of the 8 we brought in permanently will come good. There is a squad of 25 named on another page where 4 of those are injured and 5 won't ever get a game. so we have a squad of 20 of whom 16 are fit including 3 GKs.

so we need to have more in that squad to cover the 5 (Matondo, Dowell etc) who won't get a game. it is short term until they go in summer.
I feel that is more realistic than trying to sell the 8 players we bought who I feel some may come good. My logic anyway.

05 Dec 2025 10:08:22
Angus what if anything, are you seeing in any those players to make you think they will come good? Seems like absolute blind hope mate. Not even 1 of them will cut it here.

05 Dec 2025 11:49:38
Boy Blue. I am not arguing they aren't performing here atm but that football professionals see a player there. Swedish manager sees a player in Aasgaard, Portugal u21 sees a player in Chermiti. supposedly the scouting brief from Koppens time were looking at Djiga, Antman and Gassama before they went to other clubs and we missed out initially. Miovski has scored in the SPFL and Cornelius, Miller and Meghoma have showed promise.
so there is ability and we want a coach who can bring that ability out and blend them into a team with perhaps a few more experienced individuals to make the team better/more confident but also to mentor the young lads on the pitch.

we then add 2-3 upgrades/additions each season to replace those we sell or those who don't make it. we just need to do it quickly to keep the fans onside as we expect immediate results.
we can't just keep buying players in bulk and if they don't work (i. e. we don't win every game) after 6 months bin them and buy more players. that constant rebuild hasn't worked so do we continue that in the hope that eventually the 8-10 new players we buy every season will eventually win.

05 Dec 2025 12:46:53
Norway manager bud👍,
For keeping Cornelius, Meghoma.
Gassama/Antman, Coaching/Confidence
Djiga/Miovski, Naw / not the same player
Chermiti, thought he'd work out, but needs loaned maybe

Whose Miller btw?

05 Dec 2025 13:07:52
Thanks Fork you are correct. and Miller is Moore. I was jumping between that post and a report I was writing for work so wasn't concentrating 100% obviously.

I still think you can't judge these young players 100% when no-one in the team is playing well. Like Rohl I thought winning games however scrappily would give players confidence but that didn't work out although our attack was better on Wednesday bar the final product perhaps.
We all agree Thelwell wasn't suited but someone else (Koppen? ) thought these players would do a job for us.

Re Miovski I think our style doesn't suit him but I saw more on Wednesday than before and perhaps he will adapt to match our style rather than the other way around. I think Chermiti will play backup to the new no9 we buy/loan and be mentored and given time to adapt (a bit like we did with Iga).

my point is there is ability there but a large part of their development will be gaining the mentality to play for us. it will be that which decides whether they make it or not.

I do know without any inside knowledge that we aren't going to replace the 8 players in this window and send all the loanees back (even if the loan agreement allows it).

05 Dec 2025 13:51:20
Either way we need to get on top of the inconsistencies in not just the team, but individuals.

05 Dec 2025 16:53:10
Fork I agree but fed up with the thought process where if we aren't doing well we just get rid of manager, coaches and players as they are rubbish. then replace them all with a new group who are the same.

let Rohl work with what we have (and a few additions) to iron out the issues and get what we have playing well. it might take months but that is surely better than 13 years.

05 Dec 2025 17:03:58
Think Rohls the right guy, just need decent recruitment n build from there.

05 Dec 2025 22:33:12
The majority of our signings aren't good enough a will leave eventually Chermiti will never make it at Rangers. No point hanging onto guys that we know won't make it. It's just ludicrous. It's either the manager or the players it can't be anything else Angus it's football not rocket science.

06 Dec 2025 08:19:48
Storm but I am saying it is a science that is beyond a fan base who lack patience for a player to settle and come good. they were good players before they came to us but for some reason aren't performing here. partly the team performing poorly but probably a lot on the mentality and confidence. that can be worked on

it won't be the first time that fans have not liked players and they came good.

so what happens with the next lot we buy who don't hit the ground running straight away and have the audacity to just get a draw or even lose against teams who don't have the same budget as us.
we need to build a winning squad and team and that takes time; not in one window as not all of the players we buy will succeed.
As a fan I don't know either but let the football professionals work with them, add a few experienced players and see if they can give them that confidence to play in front of 50,000 fans who bay at every missed pass or chance.

04 Dec 2025 13:56:35
Rohl has talent I'm sure. He knows it, people in the football world know it ,so why in god's name take this job? It's a basket case. He certainly wants a challenge! He's got one.

04 Dec 2025 21:40:55
Maybe he believes he can sort out the mess we are in.

05 Dec 2025 09:52:45
and just think if he does he becomes a hero and worshipped by thousands.
