Big Gary Kenneth is the player mccoist wants. Refuses to go away this one. Think he'd be a great signing.

Rchy

But why would we sign another CB when we have bartley plus we have big perry he is 10x better than daft kenneth the guy cant run

Well if that dznt get the fans against him i dont know what will! green jhedi

Hes as slow as a week in jail if we are looking at an arab player nit has to be johnny russell a superb talent

Forget russell he's celtic mad n heading to parkhead in the summer n thats deffo!

If mccoist sign`s gary kenneth thats the end of him for me as the manager.he is nowhere near good enough to wear a rangers top and we need a striker first before we think about signing anyone else,

'Forget russell he's celtic mad n heading to parkhead in the summer n thats deffo!'

Someone's not been reading the script! If you're going to post utter horsesh*t on here you need to round off with 'FACT' not 'deffo'. Tut tut, some people just never learn do they!

Russell is a massive celtic fan,,FACT!!!!

I for one would sell Jelavic, the
sooner the better, what we don't
want to happen is we get a bid at
the last minute, and we can't get
anybody signed in time. Hopefully
CW would then give Ally 2.5 to
spend, I would go out and sign
1. Farid El Allagui - 300,000
2. Sandaza - 300,000
3. Bruins - Free
4. Jaager - Free
5. Claros - Free
Get rid of Broadfoot, Oritz, keep
Mckay he needs to given a chance

And what Whyte wants IS a bid at the last minute. And just to update you, Bruins and Jaager have alreday walked away from Ibrokes.

Very original - repeat of last week's news
any thoughts of your own instead of newspaper stories ?

If Jelavic went for £7 million for example.....CW would not give Ally £2.5 million for players. CW wants income. Paying 4.5, selling for 7 and spending 2.5 doesnt really equate to income. Thats just my opinion. I reckon he would allow Ally 500,000 tops.

Get rid of this one and that one, one question - to who?
In case you hadn't noticed there is not a queue waiting to buy these people. In fact there is not a queue for our better players. The problem is that they cannot afford anybody until someone leaves

McCoist is to get 10% of the money from the sale of Jelavic.

Drew

Can I ask why you would go out and sign bruins, jaager and claros? What do you know about them or is it because there on trial your throwing there names in

Paddy

Yeh where in bad days what where doin now is getting free transfers of young players to hopefully sell on for a profit in 6 months to a years time.

If whyte wants to save cash get rid of the hangers on that follow him like a collie dog also why sort the big screens ai ibrox when it cost over £100,000 to repair when its better players the fans all want on the park and help ally out like a owner should be doing.

The screens are a con its tax deductable so in effect costs nothing.

Do anybody real think craig whyte is going to let ally spend anything.we would not spend the £300 grand st johnstone wanted for sandaza.that was a player ally want and the striker we needed.if nothing is done we are going to slip more and more behind.

Think you'll find you need to pay tax in first place to have it deducted...just a thought

Very original - repeat of last week's news
any thoughts of your own instead of newspaper stories ?

In response to this Farid El Allagui 20 app - 12 goals not a bad ratio & Sandaza has scored 14 goals this season, with Aluko & Celik on the left & right supplying them I think this pair could score a lot of goals. Jaager, ok, has left for the moment but I think we are should sign him if we can, as I think we are shouting out for a decent right back. Bruins & Claros well possibly worth a shot, can't be any worse than Oritz.

24 Jan 2012 20:33:04
The Aberdeen player Arnason, who scored against us on saturday should be worth bringing in. We should have got rid of 3 or 4 players from last season and Super Ally not excatly making us feel good about some of the players he brought in. Need Whyte to make sure we only bring in tried and tested players instead of more benchwarmers...

24 Jan 2012 20:02:58
Huddersfield in for the dutch boy that's on trail, expect him to sign for the English club in the next 48 hours, what's going on?

Hats going on is that another transfer window is closing and we are becoming an even bigger joke. Last window stupid bids getting made, this one trials to people when we can't even afford them, wasting their time and insulting the fans who have and do spend money. Blue4ever

Dont think so mate the lad has indicated his desire to sign,on advice from Mr Mols,the Rangers legend,thats good enough for me.

No European football next year...no money...no hope!...also if rangers do go into administration and die and come back as a new company in div 3, who the f**k wants to sign up for that?

Seriously? Could the club just please tell us what state we are in. Good or bad i'm sure we want to know!

Calm down people . All will be revield.

Why would a Venture Capatalist tell you what he's upto. The very nature of such takeovers are based on smoke and mirrors.

Nah.he is listening to huddersfield its on twitter

Why would he sign for huddersfield when in the middle of a trial ?

On twitter he is speaking to huddersfield apperently.

Key word there-trial- they could offer more money n might not have him waiting about while they sell somebody! green jhedi

Dont the fans realise we are pennieless we have as much bank capital as a scottish 3rd division club rangers fc is gone.

The players will go to any club who offers them a contract first.there not making any money so u can't expect them to wait on rangers getting their act together while being offered money at another club.it's common knowledge were not spending so why would they wait on rangers.it's embarrassing.

The 21 year old boy msakni (spelling) seems a good player has impressed in every game for Tunisia and is still playing there would be cheap and is very tricky , worth a shout ( only if we had some cash ae )

24 Jan 2012 18:27:03

Aye Raul aff the urn Bru advert, hey ladies!

24 Jan 2012 17:42:56
ed what happend with zlatan muslimovic {Ed001's Note - he has gone somewhere else on trial, Sunderland I think off the top of my head but I could be wrong.}

Even trialists are snubbing yous now, lol bad days ahead!

Its on Rangers web site he went to Sunderland to train with them

I'm not surprised the guy has played 33 timed for his country its a joke to ask him on trial

He refused to take part in a bounce game and has gone to sunderland ..no bad loss IMO ....bigt

Aye because he because he seen the big picture and left!! If he stayed u would be well chuffed! t**t....

He probably heard big Gary Kenneth was going to kick him upside down in training when he signs next week

Ed, this is a posting on the Celtic Rumours Page:

"Ed do you think we should offer sandazza a pre contract for the summer? {Ed007's Note - No, we can't offer him a pre contract. As I said when Rangers supposedly had, in the UK you can only sign a pre-contract with a club in the same FA as your current team one month before your contract expires. The six month rule only applies when your are moving to a team in a different FA/country from your current club. The player and his suitor club also do not have to disclose to the player's current club that they are in negotiations. If Sandaza had signed a pre-contract with Rangers earlier this month it would have been void and the player could have signed for anyone in the summer.}"

-------------------------------------------------
This is absolutely ridiculous. Are Rangers blatantly lying to the supporters. {Ed014's Note - Ed007 is spot on about the ruling.

We can still offer him a pre-contract, but it can only be officially accepted one month before the end of the current contract. For all we know, he's unofficially said yes. Hope not though. Muzz

Rangers never said they made him an offer, steve lomas did, ally said that he had a chat about sandaza, nothing more, nothing less, but i'm guessing sandaza has burnt his bridges with the gers now...

The signing policies have been shambolic with more spin than politicians please ally do not mention ay signings till they have put pen to paper we are becoming the laughing stock for the media to feed off

Muzz - what is the point then, but more importantly, what is the point of Rangers going public on it.

Rangers may well not have made a formal offer for Sandaza, but Ally did confirm that he had contacted Lomas and informed him of Ranger's interest in signing the player on a pre-contract.

Still totally embarassing.

Ed014 I think you will find that you ed007 are totally wrong about the ruling.
Caldwell, zaluska and pienaar just to name a few from over the years have all signed pre contracts in January. {Ed001's Note - all moved from one federation to another. They can sign those 6 months in advance, as has already been pointed out.}

Wrong Ed014 they moved from the same federation. {Ed001's Note - Pienaar moved to Everton from Germany and then Spurs paid 3m for him, so never agreed a pre-contract if that is what you are trying to claim.}

Caldwell from hibs

should mc gregor naysmith and davis be sold to fund a return for big boyd . M ight be worth looking at ! TTTS

Are you intending buying Boyd for £15m - £20m and then paying him around £75k a week.

Rangers target South African defender Siboniso Gaxa.
The right-back, currently contracted to Belgian club Lierse, is said to be in Ally McCoist’s sights if a deal for Estonian international Enar Jaagar fails to materialise.

A move for Jaager is said to depend on finance, with McCoist reportedly told to shift players off his wage bill before bringing anyone else in.

Gaxa’s agent, Rob Moore, says his client is next in line if a deal doesn’t come off for the Rangers trialist.

“Gaxa is seriously in the frame for that move,” Moore told Soccer Laduma. “If they don’t sign Jaager, then he is their next target.”

Gaxa has 48 caps for South Africa and featured for his country in all three of his nation’s matches at the 2010 World Cup.

His contract with Lierse runs until 2013, suggesting a fee would be payable to the Jupiler League side to take him to the Scottish Premier League.

The 27-year-old moved to Belgium from Mamelodi Sundowns shortly after the tournament, having also played for Supersport United in his homeland.

If this is correct, it's starting to become a pantomime. What a riduculous way to do business.

19 appearances since 2010! Wow sounds fantastic, nottttttt

24 Jan 2012 16:00:08
Craig Beattie's contract has been paid up by Swansea in the EPL.....he has indicated that he is willing to play with Gers for 'expenses' until the end of the season (he's been paid anyway)....i think he would do us a right good turn, at least until then, and he'd also be desperate to do well, even just to get another contract 'with anybody'.....no transfer fee....hardly any wages, no risk, and he's fully fit, big strong quick and can score, in fact, he's a perfect gap filler for big Laff until he comes back (similar style) would it not be better than the nobodys that we are looking at, and McKay,Ortiz and Bedoya,,who can hardly make the squad.
On Saturday for instance, Jella and Heally up front....we needed a goal....absolutely! not another forward available to bring on....the likes of big Beattie woulda been perfect to toss up front for Heally....needs must at the moment.

Av always said he's sh*t but fk it, suppose it's worth a try

Where and how did he indicate this?

Beattie was torture for celtic....worst first touch i've ever seen on a footballer. and one thing a decent striker needs is a good first touch

i haven't seen much of him since he left, but i was ecstatic when he did go. a headless chicken imo

He's gone to MK Dons or Millwall

He has done it through an ex Rangers player, also has a chance to go to Well, but even if you do think he is s****, he might just be better s**** than we have at the moment...we could use him, no question......i'm with the guy who posted f*** it

At least Beattie is still in the premiership, unlike most of our targets.

Hasnt he signed for millwall?artybhoy

Would be good if he could keep laff out the team, the boy's a donkey !

You better phone him....knocked back Millwall, wants to come home.

Wouldnt need to keep Laff out....in case you never heard...Laff is not back until mid March at the earliest....would be a decent fill in for him.

How's Laff a donkey, two of the last three seasons have been won on the last day, scored important goals in the split.

Muslimovic has not left for Sunderland stop talking nonsense!! He's been playing today in bounce game against Carlisle along with the other trialists!!

Says on stv he's at Sunderland

Martin O'Neill has overseen a dramatic turnaround at Sunderland, As a result, the club also look set to rival Rangers for the signature of Bosnian international Zlatan Muslimovic.

The 30-year-old forward had looked likely to join Ally McCoist's squad after training with the Scottish giants but is now thought to be heading south for a trial with the Black Cats.

I think you will find he has done just that! His agent has released a statement saying he will train with Sunderland for the rest of the week!

How can he be playing today when he is training with sunderland.It is you that is talking nonsense!.Get your facts right.

He as gone to Sunderland ...but 17 goal's in 70 game's ...not like we have mist out on a good player

He refused to play in todays game.

Wats going at rangers its a joke guys even leaving who are on trial whyte is tighter than the pound shop mark my word if we win the tax case he will still run the club this way

Seems that Zlatan Muslimovic has left

sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/294880-zlatan-muslimovic-cuts-short-rangers-trial/

This is the only link i can find about him going to sunderland

www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/sunderland/transfer-talk/news/muslimovic-holding-sunderland-talks_14272.html

Mate stv are reporting he is in sunderland . unfortunately

Its on the rangers website hes refused to pkay today and has left for sunderland

24 Jan 2012 14:10:37
Muslimovic has left rangers after on day and is away down to Sunderland wtf Ally ur time is up am affraid as manager but ur still legend , I don't blame ally in all this but CW has left him down big time, if u dont want him as manager CW then change it, but dont try and ruin a club great it wont happen

The club is a shambles.

No decent will sign while we have threat of administration, we are no longer a big club

The airpot bear ... thats a bit harsh dont you read the papers or understand we're totally skint !! stop blaming coisty then say he's a legend then say his time is up then you blame CW ... man up m8

His loss then he'll no win many trophies there n totally agree ally will always b a legend but think he's either no cut out to b a manager or whytes no helpin him much with bein a manager a gr8 guy going to waste

Stop posting crap on sunderland site and learn to spell.

This guy has only scored 48 goals inhospitable career so hardly a loss ha ha Boyd scored more in 2seasons!!

Are you saying its Allys fault that this guy would prefer Sunderland and the EPL cash to the SPL. If you were offered three or four times the money for doing the same job what would you do?

Oh aye this guy must be mince like everybody who never saw him play said especially if he can get his way into the EPL


JG

Listen to yourselves. McCoist took over the champions and since then he has brought in the Australian player of the year, a Spanish winger who had been tracked for 2 years, and 3 defenders not to mention all of the young players being produced by Murray Park. Rangers made a loss last year, this year no europaen football so more money lost and the wages have gone up with the addition of all these new players plus the new contracts offered to McGregor, Davis etc. On the other side of the city Celtic have brought in 2 players for nothing and secured a 3rd on a pre contract that couple dwith last years freebies, Matthews, Wislon and the bargain of hte season Wanyama. The issue is McCoist;s scouting netwrok is very poor and Lennon's isnt. CW is a businessman who bailed Rangers out. He has given McCoist money but he has wasted it and now CW has said you must get rid of some dross before bringing in any more. CW is a businessman and he is not going to keep throwing money at McCoist in the hope he will get it right or maybe he is keeping the money for the new manager in the Summer.

Muslimovic has left rangers after on day and is away down to Sunderland wtf Ally ur time is up

so ally's time is up cos some guy he had on trial for one day has decided to go on trial with a premiership team instead lol

Was ortiz not the 3rd winger mcoist tried to sign in the summer surely if we had been after him for years he would have been our top target. As for wanyama i heard all this guff about kayal ki and commons last year. Mcoist needs time and support just like the beggers have shown lennon. We are a striker away from winning the league. And if you take hoopers offside goal against hibs and the goal that we scored against celtic the 4 point lead would be gone.

Said it once il say it again mccoist has to go!!!!!!!!!!!!i never wanted him in the first place i knew he wasnt right for the job the signs where there when smith was in charge ally is just a joke in a cheap suit we need a new manager and start playing the young lads.least they play for the jersey and r hungry to do well.

Alex ferguson couldnt do anything without money why do you people always blame the manager take of ur blue glasses and take notice rangers have no money until we save our club want do u want lose the league or lose all our history

Take a look at your comments! 'If you take Hoopers offside goal and Rangers' goal' ffs, are we no a lauging stock as it is. WE reallt are in a bad way! Time yo wake up guys!

The facts are we could potentialy be owing alot of money to the taxman.

If you were the chairman would you be throwing money at ally to get new players when in just a few weeks you could get hit with a 15 - 20 or even 30 mill bill. Better to have a club to support i think!

Going in to administration would mean points deduction for the start of season fr next few years!

f*** that! I think ally has done really well first year as manager hes brought in a few good players and they just need time to gel as a team!

I support my team through thick and thin! And fully support the work Ally mccoist a rangers fan and legend is doing!

24 Jan 2012 14:05:24
Just heard a RUMOUR that Kari Arnason signed a pre contract with Rangers anyone heard anything like this???
I personally think its just utter pi5h!

I heard it was Kar-aoke LOL Timalloy

Yer only saying that cause he scored and played good stop talkin s**t you t**t.

Na my supervisor at work see it on his facebook page someone saying it on there so I was just enquiring Why would i come on here and start s**te just saying what i heard!

24 Jan 2012 12:42:20
Muslimovic and Bruins having trial with Rangers and Jaager awaiting an offer. Why bring these players over and then delay in tying them up with an offer? Bruins sounds like he would be a good signing. No so sure about Muslimovic, but Jaager could fill a problem position at right back. I agree with others who have posted here about Matt McKay. Why did Rangers sign him and then dump him in the reserves?

Here we go again with the Matt Mckay rubbish. Rangers squad is threadbare. If this guy was half decent do u really think McCoist wud be leaving him out? No he wudn't. Managers dont leave out good players when their neck is potentially on the line. Why the big fascination with this guy? Dont c all the calls for Bedoya and Ortiz to be in the team. THEY ARE ALL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Ii repeat the question - WHY did McCoist sign McKay ? and Bedoya AND Ortiz for that matter ? Seems to me he hasn't a clue about who is and who isn't any good !!

Bedoya isn't half bad from what i understand. Now i know completely that this is a game, however, after half a season in football manager, Blackburn rovers bought him for 4.5 million. I laughed, but theres no smoke without fire. (Only reason why i remember it was because it seemed stupid). He might well become a good player, given the chance - Mackay might be the same. Muzz

Does this prove mccoist never had a say in the signing? or he dznt know a good player?

Ally out to chuck NOW it just to preserve some dignity, as it is going downhill every day this signing / not signing merry go round goes on.

24 Jan 2012 12:06:58
West Ham and QPR are no longer interested in Jelevic, they think he is overpriced and wont pay more than 6 mill
Also there is a sell on clause and Rangers have not paid the full 4.5 mill for him, it was in the media a few months ago, they have something like 1 mill left to pay, as for sell on clause i have no idea of the %, also Whyte wants the full transfer fee up front, when clubs are offering part payment and installments, Whyte has a cheek as thats how he wants to buy players, on the never never

Dont know a lot do you,why bother posting,trueblue..

Lies, lies and more lies.I don't care if it's a rumour site a lie is still a lie.
GCUK

Absolute nonsense terms have been agreed with set Ham and I believe Leiciester are now back in the frame for Jelavic. If QPR come calling with a solid bid and terms that double his wages he WILL go.

If there is a 10% sell on and old Jellylegs himself will also be due 10% of the fee as well . Maybe thats whats holding things up or that nobody values him at what you want . Just a thought .
CelticMatt

Rapid are not due anything as far as im aware ..bigt

West ham have denied making a bid for jelly. same as liverpool and leicester....anyone see a pattern here?

What you're saying is immediately discredited by the figures you've given. 4.5M? It seems as though you're trying to make us believe that the club would be making less money on a transfer than they actually are. In addition, the transfer WAS done in installments, however, the last of these was paid last year. Muzz

24 Jan 2012 11:53:12
Luigi Bruins looks great on Youtube vidoe.

This lad is better than what we have
no with bedoya etc, I would get shot
of one of the duds and replace with this
guy. He has a good pedigree

J

How many times to people hav to be told. You can make anyone look good on you tube. You could make broadfoot look like a superstar

I still think bedoya will come good lot of better players than him have took time to settle

The lad Bruins, Cellik and Aluko all look to be decent attacking midfielders that would siut the 4 5 1 /4 3 3 that a lot of EPL teams play, or even up front in a 4 4 1 1 / 4 4 2 so hopefully they will give us more of a cutting edge up front and in midfield.

24 Jan 2012 10:25:46
Davis apparently has been made available due to poor form and reluctance to take a pay cut. QPR monitoring the situation along with Jelavic. I used to think of QPR as the wee Rangers how the tides have turned. Watch for it breaking before you say this is rubbish..........

Just been given the captaincy and signed a long term deal in the summer.

Jus like to see if gers fans agree think davis is the most over rated player we have had at ibrox for years turns up 1 in every 20 matches

Was actually just saying this the other day. If we had any other decent midfielders I would take any offer we get for Davis. Really poor season and never a captain in a million years. Once Naismith is fit he should be permanent captain.

IT'S RUBBISH!

GDog
WATP

I agree that davis has been under performing this season. But to say he is the most over rated player in the gers history is crazy. For the last 3 years running he has been our best player. Hence the players player of the year awards etc. he needs a bit of quality in the middle of the park with him IMO then you will see davis back to his best.

Davis is quality but i would agree that his form has been terrible recently. He had the same issue running up to the CIS cup final last year and then on the day he was outstanding! and kept that form for the rest of the season.

We need a lift from someone.

CJM

Davis has struggled with his form this season fair enough but look at the dross along side him, our midfield is a joke, McCulloch never was good enough for Rangers, Edu has reached the pinnacle of his abilities and should go NOW, other than them its defenders or any who wants to leave Rangers in CM. McCoist doesn't seem to understand what midfield is about, if he wants creativity why does he play Bartley, Papac and Wallace THEY'RE DEFENDERS ALLY !!!!

24 Jan 2012 09:33:00
Everton to bid in the region of £6.5m
in the next 24 hrs for Jelavic. Moyes
will use the bulk of the money they
will receive from the sale of
Bilyaletdinov to S Moscow..

Watch this space.... {Ed014's Note - The fee for Bily is said to be £5m.

I thought they were just getting a nominal fee for Bily as he has been such a flop. and were taking a big loss on the deal {Ed014's Note - They paid £9m for him.
