Graeme Bailey claiming a number of clubs are ready make a move for Rangers captain James Tavernier:
-Istanbul Basaksehir are the latest club to show an interest, whilst Fenerbahce and Galatasaray have also had conversations about a deal.
-There is also interest in Qatar and we can reveal that Al-Arabi and Al-Gharafa are both showing an interest.
Qatar window seems to shut on 9 Sept; Turkey on 18 Sept. Would be nice if it didn;t drag on at least - either way.

given the way he was treated at Ibrox on Sunday I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted away. it is HITC though who are reporting.

Angus. because he got shouted at? really?
"oh that's abuse"
that fan voiced what we have all been saying for a couple of seasons.
World and the game have gone soft.

Angus what the guy said on Sunday was spot on the problem was how he went about it.

No man or woman deserves to be shouted at and called names. If someone came at you and called you all sorts would you not be annoyed. I don't care if fans pay and all that bull yes shout from the stands but not when the guy is going home to his family. Feel free to tell me where you work and i will come and shout abuse at you at your place of work.

Again stop comparing our place of work to a footballers place of work. Two completely different things! If they can't handle the pressure then maybe they shouldn't be football players! Or do what tik tok todd did and flee with his tail between his legs to a less pressure environment. Simple.

Yes the "fan" was wrong to have a pop in that manner, seems an easy excuse to say I'm away because of that, he knows he is not the player he was and should step away, no sentiments for past performances, he has not been gd enough for ages.

Ally how would you feel if you had a bad day at work and there were people there shouting abuse at you whether you deserved it or not. It says more about those fans and you that you think it is acceptable. Fife agree it was how they went about it but not sure there is a good way to go about it to be honest. come on here and moan amongst other fans. The players won't read here but they may see it as press tend to report what they see in fans forums. HITC report something then Talksport read that and report it like its news and suddenly we think that several sources have the story rather than one online site.
My question is who will be the next player to be scapegoated as not being good enough. Cerny was great for first few games and then dreadful. PC was the best in the world whilst we were catching them now he is dreadful and doesn't have a clue. only happy when we're winning but there is more to being a fan than that.

The clown giving Tavernier abuse was wrong, but the lack of genuine effort shown by him on such a big occasion permeated through the other players on the day. If I was Rangers captain and showed the same lack of effort and determination I'd expect to be dropped or be stripped of the armband. When the chips are down players, especially younger players, look to the captain for guidance and inspiration. Our young team were steamrolled and he did nothing to try to turn the tide. No one likes abuse but sometimes it's just too easy not to give your best - especially when you're picking up obscene money regardless. Bottom line, he has to be stripped of the armband at the very least or, preferably, moved on.

A bad at work? C'mon its not just a day, its been years! . We don't get paid thousands of pounds a week to and play infront of 50k fans paying our wages to underachieve. Its a bit different to having a bad day at the 9-5! Happy enough to take the plaudits but can't handle a few home truths. Hardly a captain.
The sooner he is gone the better.
What's the difference to him hearing on the radio, hearing it in the stands, reading it in the media and being told to his to face?
06 Sep 2024 18:34:50
Doesn’t matter how you dress ht it up the guys delivery was wrong right in what he said tho.

Interesting comments, and I don't believe that you can compare with the general work place. I also understand that the Rangers support has been long suffering and this season to date, (including the summer transfer window), has been a shambles.
People have different ways of expressing their frustration. Was the fan right is the way that he abused Tav, no. Was what he was saying correct, yes; and not just in respect of Tav! There was a general lack of commitment.
Is that 100% down to the players or is it in part down to the manager, his tactics and his man management, (or lack of it)?
If I am playing for Rangers, have been part of a successful team and see that the manager is replacing a large number of players and building for the future then I am excited and I am expecting to see an increase in quality, with what I have seen this transfer window, I would be disullusioned, all part of the bigger problem.
The problems lie at the top.

Trophy count is a lost cause now, enter forgetting it.

I'm not Tav's biggest fan, that's true, but we just can't tolerate idiots like this behaving in such a manner and shouting and swearing at players like a ned. Fans nay be upset or angry but you can't go about abusing people like that. I think he should be facing a lengthy ban to let him reflect on his stupidity.
08 Sep 2024 08:18:51
issue is that it is like work. that idiot will be the same person shouting at some lass in Tesco because she didn't do what they think is right. So it is the money they are paid which means they should take it. Maybe it is just me who wouldn't do it at all never mind what way it is done.

Can't ban the guy from outside the ground, could from inside but it's doubtful he's ever been inside it.
