No truth in the McCormack rumour, all media talk. Read a couple of comments on FB that I know is close to him that say he's heard nothing.



20 Aug 2018 19:42:05
I wouldn't want to see him back at Rangers

He was great 2/3 years ago but his wages are far too high as a result a massive risk!

No Thanks.



20 Aug 2018 22:55:13
If we can get him with Aston Villa still paying a high percentage of his wage then sure, I can see it making sense but otherwise he's not worth the money and hassle.



21 Aug 2018 10:08:32
McCormack may have scored a few for Melbourne in the Australian A league, but trust me this league is very average.



20 Aug 2018 13:57:41
Best news of the summer looks like Lee hodson is going to be finally off 🙌🙌🙌 #GoingFor55.



20 Aug 2018 14:07:52
Harsh.



20 Aug 2018 14:09:15
Maybe rid of Hodson but the move for Ross McCormick is a strange one? 🇬🇧🌈.



20 Aug 2018 14:30:21
Harsh but fair!
Hodson is our worst player bar none IMO.
I haven't seen any official statement that we are looking at McCormack and I don't believe we would.

I think people are just putting the fact that he is available at a time we are looking for a striker and the fact that he used to play for us together and getting this rumour.



20 Aug 2018 14:25:00
We haven't moved for McCormack, it's pure speculation. He's another one whose attitude stinks and that's not required in our dressing room.



20 Aug 2018 14:26:29
If Hodson goes to St Mirren I wish him all the best. Remember he did a great job on nullifying Sinclair at their place one game.



20 Aug 2018 15:49:41
that will mean the end of lafferty if we get ross Macormack never do buisness with hearts again they drag it on and on just like the walker deal.



20 Aug 2018 16:41:12
mccormack won't happen he’s on far too much money.



20 Aug 2018 17:02:45
Ross McCormack no thanks not worth the gamble, the squad is tight and everyone is pulling together, no disruption or bad attitude required even if villa are prepared to pay 75% of his wages. Hoping this is Scottish press doing what they do best.



20 Aug 2018 17:12:30
I’m really not up for McCormack
From the outside it looks like money has gone to his head and he’s a proper ahole - not turning up for training and all that sort of stuff

We need team players not billy big shot aholes.

I’m delighted with our business so far and really trust this management team
The only one that I’m not sure about so far is Sadiq - he sometimes looked like a two legged Giraffe on acid.

Looking good so far though chaps.



20 Aug 2018 17:37:16
ejaria is mince too. always giving ball away and never wins a tackle. too concerned with not getting hurt and is a total passanger.



20 Aug 2018 17:40:12
Yately 1, Ross McCormack is trouble wherever he's went mate. He's a very disruptive individual! Don't want him anywhere near rangers! I would seriously doubt this rumour, to be honest!



20 Aug 2018 18:26:56
Blue genius by name only bit ott 're. Hodson what about Pena.



20 Aug 2018 19:31:14
6countie Pena was better, contributions better than hodson, both are not what we require going forward.



20 Aug 2018 19:39:21
Stevie G saying we’re a bit thin squad wise after Murphy injury and mentioning others in the treatment room including Rossiter don’t why this guy gets mentioned how long has he been here how many games has he played can not rely on this guy.



20 Aug 2018 19:45:36
Red ger he has a contract with two years left on it.



20 Aug 2018 19:45:39
All the best on your loan spell with St Mirren Lee Hodson

You'll always be part of the Rangers faithful!



20 Aug 2018 21:18:46
Would like to see what stevie g can get out of Pena reckon once he off the bevvies might be able to get the player he has shown flashes of being.



22 Aug 2018 13:14:40
Pena is the laziest player ever, Pedro knew this but still signed him. Along with the rest of his duds. His team made le guens team look like world beaters. Anyhow that's all in the past now, the banter years are over.



20 Aug 2018 13:47:56
Its great how Gerrard has us playing every match now, even resting our best players, we still have a team that can win matches. The only thing I worry about is when the loan signing go back at the end of the season.



20 Aug 2018 14:04:22
If we keep Coulibaly from the loan players I’d be happy. I don’t see us missing any the others as I’m sure we will find better players too sign on a permanent to continue the growth of the team.



20 Aug 2018 15:20:11
Quite honestly Kent and Ejaria have both rather demonstrated why they're both around 21 (Ejaria in a few months) and not really achieved much in football.

Rather mediocre and I think Stevie's soft spot for all things Liverpool (understandable) is blinding him to them.



{Ed039's Note - eh?)

20 Aug 2018 17:23:58
When Kent departs if he doesn't want to extend his stay Jones from Killie would be a fantastic replacement as for Ejaria I still think our best balance of midfield is Jack Coulibaly Arfield.



20 Aug 2018 17:38:57
balls kent has been cracking and hard working. agree on ejaria MINCE.



20 Aug 2018 19:34:04
kent isn't too bad but would have middleton on the park before him,

ejaria is too keen to have the ball in daft positions and ends up losing it tying to be fancy, i agree jones could be a good player but we should aim a wee bit higher!

ross mccormack can get tae!



20 Aug 2018 19:53:39
I'm glad you guys have made your mind up about these two youngsters after a couple of games - i wasn't sure whether to trust Gerrard's view or not.



20 Aug 2018 21:03:41
To be fair Kent tracked back a lot and broke up bits of play I think he has been decent but could do with a few assists and maybe a couple of goals but not bad. The signings we have made have been on long contracts and when the loan signings go back we will replace with other players on long contracts, he is building a team and he has had to get a few loans in to give us depth, don't panic he's playing the long game.



20 Aug 2018 13:50:23
Anyone heard anything about us signing Ross Mcormack on loan? I'm reading he's been told to find himself a loan and villa will be paying the majority of his 40k a week wages.



20 Aug 2018 13:57:51
No thanks.



20 Aug 2018 14:04:33
👏🏽 souness_.



20 Aug 2018 14:08:57
I’d take him. He’d score for fun for us.



20 Aug 2018 14:12:12
Just read this on a few different sites, if they're willing to pay almost all or all of his wage then it's a no brainer imo, he'll strengthen our front line and he'll be excellent cover.



20 Aug 2018 14:26:48
Daily Rhebel pi*h. He's a disruptive element and I'm sure Gerrard knows that.



20 Aug 2018 14:37:08
No thanks.



20 Aug 2018 15:10:11
Don’t think he has the work rate to fit in with Gerrard system. Would probably score a fair few but he needs to work as well.



20 Aug 2018 15:16:32
More chance of Celtic signing him; he did proclaim his love of them when he left us. Ridiculous and embarrassment to suggest we should sign him.



22 Aug 2018 13:18:15
He's not played much, stopped going to training when he fell out with the manager. Do we need another miller and Wallace drama. No way, big Lafferty is a gamble at best but I reckon he is rangers minded and not a mole.



20 Aug 2018 13:49:39
just saw an article saying that barisic has been called up to the croatia team, hope he performs.



20 Aug 2018 16:43:34
Surely Big Katic can't be far away. He has been outstanding for us and Croatia's central defensive pairing are fairly getting on a bit now.



20 Aug 2018 13:14:55
Daily Record reported that FC Ufa may not receive Visas in time and may have to forfeit the tie. Can't see that happening but can you imagine the reaction. Sporting Integrity inquest at the Home Office.



20 Aug 2018 13:58:24
I sense a full-page advert in a national newspaper coming.



20 Aug 2018 13:59:01
Lifelong ger it would be worse than that **** over here would claim it breaches good friday agreement and threatens peace process lol.



20 Aug 2018 14:48:21
Timothy plotion coming up if it happens

It is a fix the home office etc are all gers fans lol can just see it now.



20 Aug 2018 10:06:05
hey guys. i don't know if this true but my mate said that rangers are waiting till the winter window and going in with a £3m -4M big for couilbly. know for me I think that's cheap and would be a great signing.

2 points for it.

1, Gerrard likes the guy.

2, he's become a fan favourite only after so many games.

Ed you heard anything on this?



20 Aug 2018 10:44:37
I'd be surprised if we never had some sort of first buy option built into his loan deal, i think Coulibaly was SG's pick rather than Mark Allen suggesting him.



20 Aug 2018 11:43:22
Surely it would make more sense to agree the transfer now? By January, if he keeps up solid performances, his price is going to go up?



20 Aug 2018 12:43:17
We have option to buy.



20 Aug 2018 13:11:22
The price would have been agreed beforehand would it not? Just like the murphy deal.



20 Aug 2018 13:40:17
Can’t see any of the loans being made permenant except Coulibaly at the moment. Both the Liverpool boys will return there and we will no doubt take another couple next season. If there is an option to buy Coulibaly for a fixed price then that represents good business by the club and from what I've seen he will be in demand.



20 Aug 2018 13:47:21
Gerrard has already said there's no option to buy in place. Enjoy the player while he's here his message was to us.



20 Aug 2018 15:40:29
@eezyeez mate there’s an option to buy big Coulibaly and Gerrard confirmed it himself.



20 Aug 2018 17:12:16
Eezyeez gerrard confirmed there was option to buy.



19 Aug 2018 23:40:19
Hey folks, what’s your thoughts on Rangers getting a free pass through to the next round if this Russian mob don’t get the visas they need! Me personally think it would be a god send 2 less games to play can focus on the next to league games well and the smelly mob, without worrying about 2 widweek games!



20 Aug 2018 06:34:46
As far as I can see ufa only have themselves to blame as they knew well in advance that they could have been playing in the uk and didn't apply for their visa and especially as spartak had been refused visas and some athelete as well do your homework lads I am assuming that we did?



20 Aug 2018 09:19:50
I think this is quite obviously the work of the British establishment trying to give Rangers the advantage and covering their tracks by using the UK/ Russian political tension.



20 Aug 2018 09:40:31
Could be another on of "Dodgy" Dave's ploys to cause embarrassment to the club?

(Thought I'd put it out there before a DK hater does! )

Just to be clear, I don't really think DK has anything to do with it!



20 Aug 2018 09:41:18
Bear mode away you go what a lot of fish your spouting it’s the Russians fault end of story like the British are gony do that so rangers get through worst thing av heard in here.



20 Aug 2018 09:48:58
the boy is blue, calm doon mate it's a joke fs.



20 Aug 2018 10:03:04
Bearmode think your right that's rumour all over West Belfast claiming it breaches good Friday agreement.



20 Aug 2018 10:15:01
You never mentioned the freemasons in your conspiracy theory bearmode!



20 Aug 2018 10:22:34
Does Bearmode really think this is the work of the British establishment trying to give Rangers the advantage the same British establishment (HMRC) that nearly destroyed us. Really?



20 Aug 2018 10:26:38
I heard it was the queen that's not letting them in to help her fav team.



20 Aug 2018 10:50:21
Bear mode I’ve found on here that in order to get your jokes understood you have to use crayons and draw them out ( no forgetting to colour them in )



20 Aug 2018 10:50:46
I think the Embassy will grant a large chunk of their players visa's but and they will come with a depleted squad, whether or not the squad has the correct depth requirement to be able to compete i don't know. Absolute shambles from their club to be honest.



20 Aug 2018 11:28:26
6counties, hahahahaha class.



20 Aug 2018 11:48:04
Bearmode is correct, I also heard that Donald Trump and Wikileaks involved.



20 Aug 2018 12:50:24
I wouldn't mind a free pass but I'd rather play Ufa or reinstate progress in their place

When teams are on a good run playing football is all they want to do. So taking games away from them doesn't help them.



20 Aug 2018 13:54:51
Damn tooting, I’d take a bye. Gives us the best preparation for going to breeze block mansion.



19 Aug 2018 23:32:40
This team ufa are no mugs . zenit really struggled against them and by all accounts ufa played them off the park even though they lost. We need to be wary.



20 Aug 2018 06:46:44
Unfortunately we don't have big enough squad for long run in Europa as well as league.



20 Aug 2018 08:33:16
6counties That means not having to play these two games will be a bonus.



20 Aug 2018 09:23:40
If Eddie izzard can do 26 marathons in 26 days, professional athlete can manage 2 90 min games a week for a few months.



20 Aug 2018 09:46:09
Marco C, marathons and football are not the same. One is low in intensity and the latter is high, not to mention there is physical contact with a competitor in football and poses a lot more risk to injury of joints etc.

The players also train midweek which involves high intensity training in various forms, including contact with team mates in training games.

Not saying marathons are easy, far from it, but its completely wrong to compare the two, they are in different ends of the spectrum.



20 Aug 2018 10:28:54
If our players are in the same nick as eddie izzard after the 26th marathon when we play celtic we might only scrape a 1-0 win. that's too close for me.



20 Aug 2018 10:49:43
Take agh 1-0 off the smelltic every day, but would love to see the wee man Morelos score ah hat trick, against that mob.



20 Aug 2018 10:54:27
The fitness might be there but the mental aspect will diminish, this is what most folk fail to realize. i'm in no way a professional footballer but i played 5's 3-4 times a week by the Friday i wasn't worth a f*** so imagine their intesity, training, expenditure during games and a mountain of travelling is a million times worse.



20 Aug 2018 10:57:03
As far as I am aware if the Russians don’t get visas the tie is awarded to the home team as a 3.0 victory with the second leg still to play . ? Do you know if this Is right ED.



{Ed001's Note - not a clue mate, I am trying to find it in the UEFA rulebook but it is hard going to sit and read through it and the sites are so busy I haven't managed to get far.}

20 Aug 2018 11:29:26
Yea have checked it and as far as I can see justvthe one game forfeit at a 3.0 score . UEFA gave the option to ban them from a he competition but that is only in extreme cases.



{Ed001's Note - you would think they would make an exception in this case due to the circumstances. The UK is making it extremely difficult for Russian nationals to get a visa currently, so it is not 100% the fault of the football club at all if they are unable to get the necessary documentation. I would expect them to appeal any decision along those lines and CAS is likely to back them.}

20 Aug 2018 12:48:44
Tend to agree with u mols. Interesting if uk gov don't issue visa, then Russians do same to us.



20 Aug 2018 14:55:51
They will forfeit the match from my understanding. It’s real possibility. Young lad had to pull out of Euro Athletics due to same issue.



20 Aug 2018 17:44:51
WE SHOULD GET TO GROUP STAGE THEN BLOOD YOUNGSTERS AND CONCENTRATE ON LEAGUE. we would never win europa with champions league teams dropping in anyhoo.



20 Aug 2018 18:17:31
What a lot of nonsense! If your in you compete.
