PC not happy at all re Igamane passport situation, interesting to see what went on there. Guessing someone forgot to take his to the airport.
26 Sep 2024 20:32:19
Believe he required a visa to enter Sweden due to his nationality.
26 Sep 2024 20:52:54
A few of our players would fall foul of the Schengen agreement like Igname that would require a permit like Dio, Bagrame Dessers suerly we were all over this. One thing I did see you must have 3 months left on your passport on entry to Sweeden. Someone at Ibrox needs some help.
26 Sep 2024 21:17:14
Why not apply for it in advance.
26 Sep 2024 21:19:24
Would they not have said visa issue?
26 Sep 2024 21:21:09
Where is he from like the new moon. That rule is shocking.
26 Sep 2024 21:46:08
The swedes allegedly never processed it on time.
27 Sep 2024 00:22:10
John that's a bit iffy. let's see what uefa do. Now let me guess!
27 Sep 2024 07:59:14
If am correct did this not happen to an opposition player who was refused entry to play in Scotland?
27 Sep 2024 08:59:24
Yes scrambled I seem to rem A visa was not provided for a player to play in Scotland.
27 Sep 2024 09:04:36
Not the swedes fault, it's known they can take up to 30 days.
27 Sep 2024 09:21:58
He's treated the same as us for entry into the EU!
27 Sep 2024 10:51:29
It's more likely he's turned up without it.
27 Sep 2024 11:25:32
Moffat he shouldn't have had a chance of that happening, but can't see it being him turning up without it, they should have been in place days ago.
27 Sep 2024 11:42:25
Moffat, it used to be one of the admin staff who collected passports and took them to the airport - presumably players not trusted!
27 Sep 2024 12:04:05
If it takes 30 days to get a visa for Sweden then we had no chance of getting him one, 30 days ago we didn`t know we were going to be playing Malmo.
27 Sep 2024 12:07:24
79. We did not know we were playing in Sweden 30 days ago.
27 Sep 2024 13:01:02
Sweden is part of Schengen as is every other team we play … excluding the English . therefore a Schengen visa covers all and could’ve been applied for prior to the draw . Total amateurs.
27 Sep 2024 14:58:34
Lisbon can u explain he was able to travel to Poland for Kiev game.
27 Sep 2024 15:58:17
John. it can depend as sometimes the permit is for all countries in the Schengen Agreement and sometimes for individual countries. trying to read up on it and permits for business can't be applied for less than 15 days in advance. would Igamane have been part of our 25 man pool for Kiev or would the vis have been different, e.g a visitor visa.
time to get documents delivered and returned can be an issue; well it has been when I've sent off passport last minute. for Sweden they don't use their UK embassy to process these but an outside agency.
issue I see is the jumping on the issue to say the club have been poor and must have done something wrong; rather than defend us. these things happen and didn't affect the result so hopefully they can get whatever was wrong sorted for next away trip.
27 Sep 2024 16:10:26
Talking schengen ??? only kidding?.
27 Sep 2024 16:31:33
It’s done with now can’t be changed we won move on.
27 Sep 2024 19:21:05
agree Storm.
27 Sep 2024 19:43:49
Angus I be He was named in travelling squad but not selected on match day 23 players.
28 Sep 2024 00:35:28
My exact point John, it's nobodies fault.
28 Sep 2024 08:36:05
Too be honest never should of happened is it amateurs we are dealing with, we are a professional team all this should be sorted dotted and signed way in advance no excuses
N if big phils raging no wonder
Seems a lot of unprofessional things just happening then swept under the carpet as usual by the board
Stuff like this should never happen
We know we are playing in europe so teams are selected n sorted
So if this was an issue somdys head should role.
28 Sep 2024 11:29:45
Initial thoughts are it's the clubs fault unless he forgot his passport but surely their must be a checklist protocol for players/ staff for away days.
28 Sep 2024 11:57:46
Nearly killed Dessers, guy had steam coming off him like a grand national winner.
28 Sep 2024 13:32:11
Love how quick our fans are to blame the club for something when they know absolutely he-haw about what happened.
28 Sep 2024 14:41:33
Correct Ehl, not got a clue about it but it's Rangers fault.
28 Sep 2024 16:06:16
Sure if he forgot his passport he would have just went and got it and got another flight.
28 Sep 2024 19:27:29
Blue dreamer what you on about utter nonsense.
28 Sep 2024 19:34:40
agree EHL and my star; some are always too willing to believe things are the clubs fault without any facts.
29 Sep 2024 08:19:28
Storm your always quick to defend how utter nonsense
We knew for a good while we will be playing in europe
So generally all paperwork is applied n sorted
For all team members
If this indeed was the problem
So what's nosence about that
Whats nonsence isyou the messigh contantly sticking up for mistake after mistake from a mediocre board
Countless mistakes
N when called out or dared mention
Yourself
John
All quick too defend
Us don't like hearing negativity
It's my team to for over 4 decades
N I don't like a lot so i. say what iwill us guys think cause us are privvy too a little info everybodys negativity against the board is wrong.
{Ed001's Note - the board don't deal with these things, at least try and understand what you are talking about. No club board at this level is involved in these minor admin tasks. The club secretary will be overseeing the dept involved but it will be much lower down the food chain that deals with visas and paperwork like this. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.}
29 Sep 2024 08:38:28
Oooft! ED lol?.
29 Sep 2024 08:50:27
John … good point re Poland! I can’t explain that … it would indicate he already had a visa . Back to the drawing board ?♂️.
29 Sep 2024 09:06:04
Ed ?
Blue you obviously don’t see my posts I don’t defend the board a lot.
I said it was utter nonsense because you don’t know what you are talking about and I was right.
29 Sep 2024 09:07:02
Forgot to say I don’t care if I get called out BD if someone calls me out then so be it. I don’t take things to heart on here.
29 Sep 2024 15:42:57
Blue why involve me in your clueless rant.
29 Sep 2024 20:50:02
I don’t get any info from rangers or the board. You have had a mare, blue ?.
30 Sep 2024 16:01:50
Clueless if true I said it wad a mistake n somdys head should role
So whys that nonsense
I also said the board have made mistake after mistake, n yes Ed or.
30 Sep 2024 16:06:36
So it's a clerical error, the board hire n fire folk, so there's been many an error, so why is me saying i'm not happy with the board a mare, then slagged for dare calling them out
Yeah real Freddie kruger stuff storm.
30 Sep 2024 16:12:23

And yes my opinion you have had a mare than.
30 Sep 2024 20:40:32
All getting very acerbic on the forum lately?.

All visitors to a Schengen country require a minimum of 3 months validity on their passport. Hamza as a Moroccan will always require a visa to visit any Schengen country . As John pointed out he previously visited Poland without problems so his Swedish problems must lie with his passport not the visa . Either it didn’t have 3 months. on it or it was left behind . IMO .
