Rangers could borrow up to nine Newcastle players in a deal that will see Magpies owner Mike Ashley buy a share in the Ibrox club.
BBC,sports news.
AJM.

Assuming they can talk 9 Newcastle players into playing D3 football. Can't see the footballing advantage to Newcastle or the players in such a move.

Aye and you can imagine what Alan Pardew will say about that!You heard what he said about Fraser Forster being on loan at Celtic and he's been winning the SPL and Scottish Cup, competing in Europe.
Do you really think he wants his players rotting in the third division.

So we will have about 32 players plus the other ones we bring in before 1st September.

For Div 3 ?

How much wages would Premier League Newcastle players expect?

You are only allowed 5 loans at the one time. Look on the newcastle site.ed007 has posted the rule covering it.

This is poor journalism calculated to get rangers fans excited and noise up the opposition. Really nonsense.
We're talking 4th tier bottom of Scottish football playing part timers. Ffs two of the Peterhead players were let out of the prison for a few hours and played in their shackles!

UEFA financial fair play rules limits this sort of thing so that teams cannot field guys they cannot afford to purchase. There's no trying to be clever allowed by the really smart people anymore.

5 loans allowed in one season and only 2 allowed to be over 21.
Some where along the line,someone is going to talk sense about my team.
Ashley owns 20% of JJB.He's lost money on that deal.JJB are creditors of old club.WE agree a new deal with him,we're back in the same boat.Our merchandising owned by an outside company.Every penny people like him want back is a penny we don't have!

Your new away strip is going to be black and white

More pish by the msm. Only allowed 5 loan players

Think you will find the financial fair play only counts if you play in a uefa competition rangers don't

Why would ANY newcastle player want to go to 3rd division Scottish football. If you believe this, you're a mug

Says it all really about the BBC and media in general up here. they know F*** all!!! The eds on all these sites do a great job at keeping us upto date and and keeping all the stupid stuff off the pages.

At a guess the newcastle players would be either young or dont fit in anymore. as for not coming to the third its up to them but if ah wasn't playing at all, some football would be better than none

Why let the rules on loan signings and the unlikely hood of Pardew to let his youth players play in the bottom tier of Scottish football get in the way of a good fantasy.

I`v read this story to and fear getting into any deal with this guy.he won`t fund his own club never mind our`s.this guy is worth over 3 billion and won`t part with any of that to keep newcastle going forward after a great season last year and part of any deal is mike ashley`s company (direct sport) take over from jjb on merchandising the rangers strip.the club are in talks with jjb to end there deal. from what i hear the newcastle support hate him.

A football club that was once RFC now reduced to being a feeder club for Newcastle, lol

They might lend you an away strip too ??

"Think you will find the financial fair play only counts if you play in a uefa competition rangers don't"

Think you'll find all competitions in UEFA member countries have to abide by UEFA laws. This includes SFL Div3.
This is to stop corrupt people making up rules as they please.
Get real. This story only printed to fill column. Who invests £10 milllion in any company for 9% when overall cost was £5.5 million. Don't forget liquidators and HMRC are still able to claw back everything. This is why Green is desperate to get his money now. {Ed001's Note - the FFP ruling is not applicable to all leagues, that is why the English Football League had to sign up to it. You have not got a clue, so please don't try and claim knowledge of the situation.}

Mike Ashely could care less about being able to feed Newcastle players to Rangers, this is pure and simple about getting Rangers tops into his Sports Direct shops and out of JJB shops. Everything else is spin.

You will get discount on shirts with mike ashley at the helm

Yesterdays result was absolute disgrace they are part time players the rangers players should be ashamed at themselvs joke

The merchandising would not be owned by an outside company, it would be a joint venture allowing both rangers and sports direct to sell the merchandise, obviously sports direct would be paying annual royalties as part of this deal. Really cant see any downside to it

Prob talking about when we are back in the SPL, I can see that being positive in a footballing sense for both clubs if Rangers are fighting for titles etc, but not for D3

We all know how " wonderful" Broadfoot is, but I think Goian and Bocanegra have one eye on their bank balances and are already on the way out, so why is Ally sticking with them, and WHY is big Jig not captain ?
Another 35 games to go, so no doubt we'll get better.
We are still playing players out of position, something Ally inherited from Smith.

Yeah pure murder the day hopefully the reality check many in the team need goian and boca look uninterested and broadfoot caused both goals with sloppy defending then has the hard neck to shrug his shoulders and laugh. We will be okay at home but we need to learn to dig deep and take care of teams away or it could become a hard grind

Its tough in the 4th Tier.

The Gers were not upto par today that was for sure. Goian and Boca looked like they didnt care what the score was and id say thats prob the worst ive seen them both play ever. They are defo both on there way out and should not have been played. Big stupid Broadfoot got onto a few decent balls today only to hoof them into the flurry of players with the precision of a blind cobbler. Another thing noted was the amount of kicking the players off the park. These Div 3 partime teams make Blacks tackles look like a ballerina. The Rangers needs to learn although these teams are 3rd Div, these guys play hard and will try to out play the gers every game we need to step up our play rate by a mile its just not good enough comming away with 2-2 against these teams or it will be far more than 3 years back to SPL.

Firstly Peterhead did not kick us off the ball, they were just hungrier, better managed and even when we equalised they were pushing hrd for an equaliser.

The reality check is that these teams will be playing out of thier skin against us and it will not get any easier when the pitches start to tear up.

The reality itself is that some boys we are better shot of. There are very few who have enjoyed the spl good times who will be any use in this atmosphere - Jig being the obvious exception.

Peterhead away is a game that no team in Scotland would want to go to in a cup or in the league. Not an easy trip, especially for a team of players that haven't had time to gel we need to know now which players are staying and get the rest to France! Can't be a good team spirit if two or three aren't interested. I'm not expecting us to go out and pump these teams, every team will be hard to break down and will be treating games against us like a cup final. Its gonna be a hard slog. If the streets be broad or narrow!

Feels like a cul-de-sac.

Ally hasn't found his level in management yet.

If the players cannot be motivated to play in Div 3 then the fans have every right and reason to walk away.

The club AND the fans are in trouble..... "Firstly Peterhead did not kick us off the ball, they were just hungrier, better managed and even when we equalised they were pushing hrd for an equaliser".
so after an equalizer, they still pushed hard for an "equaliser"?
that sounds like it is straight from Ally's mouth...... Ally is a liability, 15point lead wiped, 2 european cup exits, 2 cup exits and now struggling and lucky to come away with a draw in the 4th tier..........

Aye, things are looking up!!

Ally must stay...!

Reality check time - Peterhead 2 Rangers 1 !!

The Rangers bosses should be doing deals with all the bookies- maybe we'll get some cash in that way !

Seriously though folks, we need to shake off this " how many will we score " attitude and look at the REAL world.

Finished 2 - 2 mate

2-2 with 90 min equaliser, Sally safe... Lol

Mcoist couldn't pick his nose never a manager he's terrible go back to question of sport

I don't know any fellow Rangers supporters that have that attitude.

Seriously though how bad was that?! as previously stated Broadfoot cant pass water...........Goian and Bocanegra looked like they were having a kick about and out formation is clearly not working.

We looked better when kyle and sandaza came on - if we are going to play 3 - 5 - 2 then mcculloch needs to anchor midfield - Black and shiels were poor today also but there was no width at all? - all in all that was a shambles...........

Wee argument going on here .... is the guy who scored Peterhead's 2nd a joiner or a plumber ...?

Not too worried kyle just back from injury hardley any pre season shiels and black said when they signed never played since the end of the season sandaza no pre season the rest are the same remember us getting beat by german pub teams in pre season's gone by with the players we used to have and we went on to win league's and cup's so way to early to hit the panic button plus would never slag the gers off when we are being watched on this page by pacific shelf 595 or somthing like that watp.

Away you can and give us peace, that performance was a shocker, mccoist should resign.

Trully awful performance...
probably the worst result in the history of this great club and so close to being "definitely" the worst result!!
a reality check indeed and these jokers need to get their finger out and realise they have to apply themselves in every game instead of just turning up,
well played to peterhead tho

ian

Mccoist never a manager ?! Id like to see Lennon make it through all Mccosit has had to put up with, and the highest score last season in div 3 was 8-1, so yes we will score much more past the diddy teams, peterhead are favourites to win the league until the gers were in it mind

Every team we play for the next 3 seasons will treat every game as a cup final. We can't expect to stroll back into the SPL and all this rubbish about scoring 10 goals in a match is just delusional.

It is the worst result in the clubs history ....won the first two games so a draw is a worse resul ,on the the bright side no defeat s yet .

@ ian

you're right, it is the worst result in the history of your club, after all, you've only played 3 games and that's your first draw:D


taco

#4--- you dont read this page very often do you??.comments from last 2 weeks regarding scoring barrowloads of goals against these wee teams with your strikeforce( being paid thousands against defenders on under £100) and numerous fans putting money on going the whole season undefeated and scoring 100+ goals...total disrespect to your fellow teams in Division 3...JohnnyG

8 full internationals played today, you have to blame the tactics.

Peterhead's 2nd a joiner or a plumber
He works in the Tax office

The worst result in the clubs history....

You are absolutely spot on 3 games played, 2 wins and a draw, so yes it is the worst result of The Rangers football club 2012's history.

Why sandazza not start he needs a goal bye the look of him well done big kevin

Must be a plumber cause he looked comfy working with s@%t. the airport bear

Mccoist has not had to put up with death threats, mail bombs, or being attacked in a football ground. He is simply not a good manager he blew a 15pt lead last season and got put out of 3 cups in the the 1st month of last season before all the nonsense started. maccabhoy

You'd like to see Lennon perform With the kinda stuff ally's had to go through? You serious? How about ally going through bomb threats, made to live in safe houses, threats against his life, not just through the last year, but his whole playing career? Lennon has produced the goods even with all that in the background, so don't give me that poor excuse

Worst result in our history? We drew away from home to the league favourites prior to us. It was a poor result and a terrible performance but if that's our worst ever result then I assume the next time we drop a point in this league then that'll be our worst ever result? If we draw our toughest fixture of the league campaign by playing that badly, we can still expect to walk the division. Ally is a club legend but he risks blowing it if he stays in charge, unless he improves drastically, because he's not cut out for management in my opinion

Grant

Yes what a history 3 games no defeats, the rest of the teams in the 3rd division are bricking themselves.

Never mind the result, what about the quality of football, it was dire.

No chance 20,000 are going to turn up every fortnight in the middle of winter to watch this embarassing dross.

Berwick rangers in the 60s is Rangers' worst result obviously. Calm down dear, 35 games to go.

Defence didnt look interested goalie apart who showed his quality. no creativity in midfield, strikers immobile. Kyle and Sandaza look like they need to lose a stone apiece. We need to stop this long ball rubbish the only way to play winning football is to play a passing game

We all love Ally but ..................

Suppose it is the worse result in your history when your first two results were wins. Still 3 played and none lost should give you some confidence. Hbhoy.

On a positive note it's the best league result in your history.

Isn't it amazing how may OBSESSED Celtic fans still post on this site!!!

Celtic fans on here laughing at us drawing with a team in the same league??

Short memories?

The drubbing by ict?
Losing to clyde in roy keane first game?
Losing to ross county ?

when does the away kit come out? and ive seen a picture of the third kit, (black with thin blue stripes) is this official? its not on website

The 3rd is official but its been delayed for some reason

No mate ! a brand new one is being designed.. will be released soon...

The black strip has been announced on the website today

It is official it is on official club site and they are wearing it today for the first time, andygers74 watp

Why do they need an away kit? Keep wearing the training top they're wearing today. Watch those pennies!!

The ref didn't let them wear it they had to use the training kit

The black third kit clashed with the refs lol
