Heard Barasic going to Auxerre and we will be after Marcel Schmelzer as a replacement on loan.



03 Aug 2019 23:35:54
Surely Schmelzer is a class above? He would be too good for the SPL imo.



04 Aug 2019 02:12:30
You must be having a laugh Barisic isn’t going to play in the french second league.



04 Aug 2019 09:36:15
Selection or otherwise of Barisic today defines his season. If he's not in the XI, he's done at Ibrox IMO.



04 Aug 2019 09:39:15
I’m an actively keep an eye on Dortmund as I have a wee soft spot for them as they were my first ever European game. Schmelzer is too old and not good enough to cut it at left back so I hope these rumours are not true.



04 Aug 2019 10:48:05
We got rid of our best lb in lee wallace. That position shouldn't be an issue.



04 Aug 2019 11:14:39
I have, said before barisic is a full
International and if we are not getting near 20 mill then we are selling ourselves short.



04 Aug 2019 12:35:27
Barisic starts today.



04 Aug 2019 12:45:10
Wallace was our best LB a long time ago. The club has moved on, happens all the time in football.



04 Aug 2019 14:21:24
Well said mr grumpy.



04 Aug 2019 14:29:55
Lee Wallace! 😂😂.



04 Aug 2019 15:06:22
If Barasic goes then Greg Taylor would be a decent replacement.



04 Aug 2019 15:23:44
Barasic wasn’t great today. His crosses were shocking. Can’t complain tho 3 points from a tricky away game.



04 Aug 2019 17:09:51
I thought barisic was awful

most killie attacks came down his side &’he got sucked in at free kick left huge gap behind him for equaliser

he kept giving ball away under no pressure and fell over couple times his crossing bang average and powder puff in tackle

exact same as last season he doesn’t have heart for SPL cld cost us league still out seen him clean someone out does t look
a rangers player to me and certainly not a defender

sorry guys just way i see it.



04 Aug 2019 17:10:16
It doesn't matter if barisic is a full international or not if he keeps playing this poor for rangers he should not play that easy that's the same with any player.



04 Aug 2019 17:42:34
Think you fell down the marble staircase.



04 Aug 2019 17:47:55
Barasic going nowhere get a grip.



04 Aug 2019 17:59:16
Barasic is terrible. His delivery is poor and he rarely wins a 1 on 1. Halliday has performed significantly better at left back for us than Barasic ever has.



04 Aug 2019 18:11:27
Almost every cross of his went into the arms of the goalkeeper but it was Morelos’ man for the equaliser you can see it as clear as day, so no fault there for Barisic, Halliday would definitely be a better option all round . Greg Taylor would be the perfect replacement for Barisic in terms of that attacking full back role.



04 Aug 2019 18:14:11
Bankie anyone that thinks barisic deserves to be in the rangers 11 on his performances since arriving needs to get a grip, can't say if he was sold and we brung in greg taylor that i would be disapionted.



04 Aug 2019 18:32:59
Take it I'm the only one who thought barisic did well today. His crossing wasn't great but he defended well n was involved in a lot of our play. Hard for both full backs today we were so slow in possession it was unreal.



04 Aug 2019 19:04:55
Barasic is looking less and less convincing everytime he plays now. Need to be looking at replacing him because can’t go with those performances all season.



04 Aug 2019 19:34:42
That’s about the best I’ve seen Barasic play which shows just how poor he has been over his first season. Good player and international or not Rangers need better at left back. For some reason he cannot do it in Scotland.



04 Aug 2019 19:47:44
Here we go Barisic was not the poorest get on the park today.
Also it was Morelos who was at fault for goal.



04 Aug 2019 20:39:12
There's got to a scapegoat John. WinDass then tavernier now barisic he definitely wasn't the worst today.



04 Aug 2019 22:46:39
Defensively he was sound, looks like everyone is irate over a few bad crosses. Probably the same folk wanting Candeias to leave and I for one would much rather he stayed. Ojo doesn’t look a patch on him energy wise and there’s no understanding between him and Morelos not sure how Arfield playing off wide left benefits the team either for me he should be the head of midfield 3 and just drop one of the others out.



04 Aug 2019 23:41:51
Marble lee Wallace wasn’t our best left back I have never rated him always caught out of position fans only liked him because he stayed period.



04 Aug 2019 23:45:06
Honestly macbow, have a day aff my auld mucker. Your drawing that other obsessed mob, onto our pages like a magnet, with comments like that. Put the breezeblock boulevard calculator away mate.



05 Aug 2019 02:13:16
Any team outwith Celtic we should be going out our way to give them players on loan that improves their starting 11 with the clause that they can't play against us. Means they could potentially take points off one another and that mob without making a difference to games played against us. Win win.



05 Aug 2019 08:22:58
Greg Taylor! So well regarded that Killie are fortunate to have him cause all the big teams have been holding a bidding war.

Oh wait, mibees they can’t see his talent and haven’t actually bid.



05 Aug 2019 12:21:01
Could say the same about Morelos with us then DK19

I thought defensively Barasic was pretty solid yesterday. Crossing let him down though. But he wasnt our worst performer yesterday.



05 Aug 2019 12:21:10
Barasic looks petrified when in possession, confidence is must be shattered. Every pass was safe, square or backwards. He never once tried to go past a man when 1 on 1 and his whole game was centred round limiting mistakes. I actually felt sorry for him and Halliday energy and work rate so far this pre season must make him best option for Thur game.



05 Aug 2019 13:12:40
lot of talk about Barisic today but how often did he actually have any players in front of him. There was no width! There were a few poor performances but for me OJO was the worst. Doesn't seem to know what he is doing and include the last game against Progress in that. Early days yet but he can't lick Candeis boots for me based on what I have seen so far.



05 Aug 2019 13:42:10
@dk19 so there hasn’t been a bidding war for Morelos does that mean he isn’t good enough? Taylor is a good player at left back. He was decent against us yesterday as well. I dunno if Barasic will leave, personally I hope he turns it around cause he has all the tools to be a great left back for us but if he does go then we could do worse than Greg Taylor. I swear some people think wouldn’t be happy if we brought in Andy Robertson or any the other best left backs in the world.



05 Aug 2019 23:36:54
Tav was worse than barasic today why is he not getting any abuse.



06 Aug 2019 10:08:50
Barasic had absolutely no support in front of him, same for Tav on the right side. On a narrow pitch we simply did not exploit the wings but then Ojo is just learning what Scottish Football is all about and we didn't have a winger on the other side. Our midfield was one dimensional with far too many square passes and back passes. Gerrard is right when he says we need to replace Candelas and it needs to be with a better player. There is still time in the transfer window for us to bring in a couple of quality players.



03 Aug 2019 20:38:08
Middleton to Hibs on loan - take a flying.



03 Aug 2019 21:07:36
Hello why, great chance to develop at spfl level, may even score a winner against them.



03 Aug 2019 22:28:57
Tell the Hibs to do one. I woulnt give them the time of day.



03 Aug 2019 21:18:47
Good move for Glen and Rangers.



03 Aug 2019 22:33:56
Why would we ever do any business with hibs.



03 Aug 2019 22:40:02
I’m over my dislike for Hibs, mainly because Stubbs has left and the current manager Paul Heckinbottom is actually pretty decent.
Could be a good move for Glen.



03 Aug 2019 22:40:14
The way that lot disrespected our club and their hatred towards us i'd laugh if they got relegated give them nothing and no one.



03 Aug 2019 22:49:01
Good move for Glen and Rangers. Can’t play against us, can play against them, undoubtedly makes them stronger so to me it’s a no brainier.



03 Aug 2019 23:14:21
Thought SG said he was going to NEC BREDA in Holland to help challenge for the league?



03 Aug 2019 23:42:20
My initial reaction is I wouldn’t give the steam of my white to the spoon burners
I actually think it’s not that bad an idea
Their manager is decent and could help his development while he could possibly help in games against the puddle drinkers
The bottom line is he needs game time.



04 Aug 2019 09:14:46
I wouldn't lend hibs a player.



04 Aug 2019 10:22:20
As fans we constantly say we are the best, we are better than the other teams.

Talk is cheap, it’s time to walk the walk.

Forget the bitterness about Hibs, Aberdeen etc and demonstrate that we as a club (inc fans) are above the nonsense.

If Hibs want a player on loan and we believe that it will help his development, they will pay him and SG thinks it will work, the all fans should support it.

If we act in a bitter and twisted way, we are no better than any other team.



04 Aug 2019 11:17:05
If it's Hibs then so be it he will
Probably never get near the first team at rangers unless he changes his name to kent.



04 Aug 2019 17:51:01
Think Hibs would be a good move for Middleton. Certainly his visibility to us on a weekly basis could be good for the boy. Believe there is a player in there.



03 Aug 2019 08:37:36
I'm from Kilmarnock, rumour going round that Lafferty has signed for Killie.



03 Aug 2019 11:38:13
Nothing about him signing for anyone online.



03 Aug 2019 12:12:28
Fifa guy, I couldn't find any information regarding this. I'm only passing on the rumour that is circulating Kilmarnock. Only time will tell mate.



03 Aug 2019 12:19:56
Fifa guy do you have rangers wallpaper?



03 Aug 2019 12:53:22
Just you and DK southend✊🏾👍.



03 Aug 2019 14:35:57
Coldo I suppose it is 😂😂.



03 Aug 2019 15:43:21
Southend🙈😂😂.



03 Aug 2019 18:47:20
Alright guys I heard that rumour today as well. would be surprised if Killie would pay what he's looking for in wages?



03 Aug 2019 21:08:26
Harhun, how do you know what Lafferty is looking for in wages.



03 Aug 2019 23:29:48
John . I would imagine he wouldn't want to take a hit on his wages . Killies top players are on about 2-3 grand . just saying like.



04 Aug 2019 11:20:50
It not his wages that would be the problem as he is still paying gambling debts and like Griff from
The other side he needs, to get his head sorted as Laff is not a bad player.



02 Aug 2019 23:54:14
Andy Carroll known to have been in dialogue with Gerrard last few days
Source London get.



03 Aug 2019 00:16:11
Would be a terrible idea.



03 Aug 2019 05:50:53
A fit Andy Carroll would score for fun up here. I'd take him if his wages were reasonable.



03 Aug 2019 06:58:00
A fit Andy carroll would demolish defences up here. One of the best headers of a ball i've seen. Big duncan fergusonesque! Big carroll is unplayable in the air, simple as that.



03 Aug 2019 07:24:15
If the financial package isn’t too steep and is comparable with what Lafferty was getting then it’s a great upgrade. Would give us that opportunity to play 2 up with the big man and Defoe or Morelos in certain games.
Injury record and wage demands are obviously a worry but a pay as you play or basic wage demand not exceeding £20k per week would be a great deal for us.



03 Aug 2019 09:02:54
No thanks. The man is injury-prone.



03 Aug 2019 09:20:51
SGL I can see where you are coming from re a Fit Andy Carroll, But that is the problem He is very rarely Fit, I said NAW about Carroll coming to Rangers on another thread, But maybe a Pay per Play deal could be reached, If Rangers are supposed to be interested in Him, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺.



03 Aug 2019 09:26:28
It won’t happen. Don’t want him hear he’s average to say the least.



03 Aug 2019 09:37:04
The reality is would he be willing to take a massive pay cut from his rumoured £90+k a week west ham salary? Doubtful, simple as that Coop.



03 Aug 2019 12:49:33
He is currently on £0 a week though
I can’t see many clubs knocking the door down to sign him either.
So maybe a pay as you play deal might not be a bad deal for both parties.
A fit Andy Carroll would terrorise SPL defences but that is the question would he be able to stay fit for long enough to do it.



03 Aug 2019 18:10:33
Aye because big dunc scored a lot for us right enough!



03 Aug 2019 18:48:19
A fit Carroll would be an asset. but there lies the issue. pay per play contract?



04 Aug 2019 08:01:43
Rick Witter , Big duncan ferguson didn't score a lot for us as he couldn't get into the team for big mark hateley and rightly so. He wasn't prepared to wait and learn under hateley, so off he went to everton on loan, which trurned into a permanent deal. Those are the hard, cold facts mate.



04 Aug 2019 12:49:56
Not quite all the facts Coop. Big dunc was thrown under the bus by the SFA and the polis. I liked him.



04 Aug 2019 23:13:59
Why do so many people mention pay as you play deals on here? . It was the same with Sturridge. The last time I heard of a pay as you play was Craig Gordon (not even sure if right with this) and the guy had come out of a forced early retirement. Someone like Andy Carrol could most likely still get a contract from a lowly Prem team, if not, then Championship or even League 1. he’s above that level but I’m just meaning even a good few league 1 teams could offer a fantastic wage and that’s before you think of MLS, China and the Middle East. My point is these guys prob won’t ever need to consider a pay as you play deal when they can get contracts on great wages somewhere in the world so I personally don’t think pay as you play deals are worth speculating about.
