Just to clarify. I had a wee joke with Fork about Shanks. I am lead to believe shanks will be a Ranger.
EHL, I totally agree with you and will add. I can see Shankland being that man who comes on in the last half hour of a European game, when we need a goal and he delivers.
28 Jun 2025 15:00:25
White horse I think he will be too infact think that's who EHL eluded to being at the training centre mate
I'm buzzing for this season to start think it's going to be a cracker.
28 Jun 2025 15:06:03
Tom will be pleased. He's been wanting that signing for ages. He also got the manager he wanted.
28 Jun 2025 15:16:03
If we can get him take him will score goals.
28 Jun 2025 15:23:22
Stig I've had too many false dawn's don't think I dare to dream any more. Celtic are the team to beat and we ATM are consistently behind until probably this year barring consistency. I think we'll have to sell players on top of those gone. it's going to be a bit of time before Martin has his team together just hope it's not too late.
28 Jun 2025 15:26:08
I'm the absolute pollar opposite Stig, I'm dreading the season ahead but I'm trying to manage my expectations, just can't see us doing anything of importance. I'll feel okay if we're building a team who can deliver over the next few seasons.
28 Jun 2025 15:35:56
I agree Whitehorse on a free it's a no brainer. If we are buying the isreali boy and the Croatian boy for example both will want to start coming in at big fees, and also both a risk being young and coming from different leagues, you know what your getting with shankland. I would like one of the young boys and shankland to replace Dessers and Igamane if they go.
28 Jun 2025 15:45:33
No big fee, no big wages, the lad will score, get him in.
28 Jun 2025 16:02:31
If this is what we are going for then I will be one unhappy fan. He is not good enough never has been never will be.
28 Jun 2025 16:03:09
We need pace but the guy will get there soon as he can, will though be handy for crosses if there in time . To sign a player yards slower than Dessers might not be ideal but may help v Livi or Falkirk . possibly.
28 Jun 2025 16:17:51
Shankland will not be signed.
28 Jun 2025 16:40:47
Storm most would agree he would be third choice, he will score goals playing as a no9 when needed and if we did lose three strikers then the three mentioned coming in would do me, very similar to the Billy Dodds transfer from years ago and would do a job and more, he ticks a lot of boxes and as most would say it's a no brainer for our squad.

Experiecne of SPL Box ticked

Lorenzo Shankalandsze is a low risk high reward squad addition in my eyes.
28 Jun 2025 17:03:35
Just can't see Rangers signing Shankland.
28 Jun 2025 17:05:46
Can't see it rm likes pace and energy shankland doesn't have either and imp is a poor replacement for dessers or iga.
28 Jun 2025 17:06:22
Just my opinion coopersdad if he is signed ill back him but he ain't able to play high press which is RM style.
28 Jun 2025 17:08:32
I wouldn't be against the signing of Shankland.
28 Jun 2025 17:40:28
I think it might have been agreed in January.
28 Jun 2025 17:50:46
It's a yes from me!
28 Jun 2025 18:10:33
Low wages, Scottish and he's not first choice I don't see how anyone can be against it rather shankland sit on the bench and come on than Danilo.
Shankland is a lot more technical than people give him credit for Back to goal, link up play and very good positioning.
Assumptions that RM likes fast strikers when he's really only ever used one quick striker in Armstrong.
28 Jun 2025 18:13:40
Shanks will be 3rd choice, I'm happy with it as a signing, no problem.
But with iga and dessers leaving if Danilo is staying that suggests only one other striker on top to come in. I don't know how confident I'd be with one striker with Danilo and shanks as back up. I'd rather one or the other with 2 new strikers.
28 Jun 2025 18:14:41
Can't see him doing much in Europe for us if we do indeed sign him.
At hearts he scored a few goals in the conference league qualifiers.
Hardly Rangers quality.
I'd prefer the 1st team squad strikers for next season to be
Frigan, Turgeman, Danilo.
once Igamane goes to marseille and Dessers to Feyenoord.
25 mill euros in the bank - Kaching ;)
Frigan 7 mill, 5 mill. 12 mill spent.
13 mill banked.
28 Jun 2025 19:02:20
Nothing was signed in January.
28 Jun 2025 19:03:00
Sorry EHL mentioned 2 at training centre who press nor fans had got wind of. that wouldn't be Shankland as fans have spoken about him for ages.
28 Jun 2025 19:28:26
Correct Angus.
28 Jun 2025 19:30:31
Strom, do you have a crystal ball by chance? Unless you can see into the future then you've got no clue if a player would be a success or not at the club. If we do sign him at least give the guy a chance before writing him off.
28 Jun 2025 20:18:32
We have no interest in Shankland. Looking most likely he'll be resigning with Hearts this coming season.
28 Jun 2025 20:49:48
Got family at Plymouth who heard they tried to get Shankland and were turned down .
28 Jun 2025 21:10:34
Just can't see him staying at Hearts. Not after the season he had. Time will tell.
28 Jun 2025 21:11:17
Nobody knows anything about shankland, but he will get a club, he's easily the level of Dykes or better so clubs around the level he's at must have noticed . We could hold a sweep, I will try Stoke .
28 Jun 2025 21:12:43
Blue have you asked that same question to the people that have said he will be successful?
No you didn't so pipe down ?.
28 Jun 2025 21:13:21
Blue I also said if signed I'll back him maybe try reading ?.
28 Jun 2025 22:30:47
I heard one was doing the bouncy on the way in .
28 Jun 2025 23:13:49
Where is Cosgrove now many thought he was a winner too. he wisny.
29 Jun 2025 01:41:47
No Fee, Low wages, can score in Scotland So less of a risk as a big money signing could be.
I could see him having same impact as Boyd and think he'd be a great signing.
