Hi, wondering if anyone is hearing anything that is imminent? It all seems to have went rather quiet. I appreciate the world cup is on but surely we are in for guys?
Thanks.
23 Jun 2026 16:35:46
There have been many rumours and itk murmurings, give it a chance, man. Absolutely no patience.
23 Jun 2026 16:45:17
Tomorrow is Deeks' big day, then after that things will start rolling and gather momentum.
23 Jun 2026 16:57:06
Plenty happening Whyte.
23 Jun 2026 17:02:38
I may be of the minority, but I'm enjoying the way business is being done.
It's always nice to hear names etc, but I'd much rather things were kept as internal as possible until things are 100% done.
Looking forward to tomorrow and the coming days and weeks.

9090 When the WC is over it will go crazy!
23 Jun 2026 17:11:59
I agree, Gazza.
23 Jun 2026 17:45:14
No patience when the season finished over a month ago, and nothing has happened regardless what's said here. ?
23 Jun 2026 17:59:09
72, I assume u missed Rangers signed Shankland, Rohl left and McInness was appointed.
23 Jun 2026 18:14:00
Almost as if there's a major world footballing tournament going on.
23 Jun 2026 18:18:48
Whyte, I'd only be repeating the same posts over and over again.
Thankfully we'll have plenty to discuss by the weekend.
In the meantime, pick your favourite World Cup nation and a starting 11 of the best players you've seen.
I'll go first, Italy.

It's all about the Rangers!!. ???
23 Jun 2026 20:56:29
Fork ?in a huff noo, he's got Thuram too. ????
23 Jun 2026 21:00:01
Griezemann is one of my favourites of recent times. Such an adaptable player without compromising on quality across the positions he has played.

I know that, John, but don't think he ever played in a World Cup match. Was in 2 World Cup squads but didn't get a game.
23 Jun 2026 23:17:10
Great team, Gazza!
