can't get a bed in 1D white horse
04 Aug 2026 20:25:34
Daisuke or someone else. π€π€
04 Aug 2026 20:26:12
Would it be booked up by a contingent from Japan, or maybe even (hopefully) somewhere else?
04 Aug 2026 20:28:43
Jeez how many we got staying? π
04 Aug 2026 20:43:52
Busy busy, John.
04 Aug 2026 20:59:04
Actually 4 players in there, two going to Poland.
04 Aug 2026 21:05:16
"Can't get a bed in 1D white horse."
Can someone decode this for me please? I'm pretty new and not down with the kids. π
What is going on?

1D is a hotel where players and agents stay when coming to Ibrox, Gazza.
04 Aug 2026 21:13:24
Gazza, it is a hotel used by our club for players who have just signed or about to sign.
04 Aug 2026 21:14:43
Gazza, 1 Devonshire Gardens is a hotel where new Rangers players get put up.
04 Aug 2026 21:18:50
Ok. And how many players are there or expected to be? π. Be nice if one was a surprise? π€ π€
04 Aug 2026 21:21:59
Players traveling to Poland, I'm hearing.
Daisuke Yokota is expected to be one of them & Olwethu Makhanya, who secured his visa, I've heard earlier today.
Again, just a rumour passed on from a mate, haven't seen anything online as travelling for work late today for early start tomorrow π©, so not checked anything official from the club as yet.
Maybe others have seen this?
04 Aug 2026 21:23:34
There are plenty of rooms available, all u need to do is check online, and don't get these comments.
04 Aug 2026 21:28:12
Thanks. π
04 Aug 2026 21:31:11
12th, I think it was meant as there were a few players using beds rather than no bed space.
04 Aug 2026 21:34:26
The 12th, there's two comments literally explaining it. You're brutal for snide comments, mate, honestly. π€¦π»ββοΈ
04 Aug 2026 21:35:16
Stig, my post says two going to Poland, they r Makhanya and Dragojevic, folks.
There is an eastern man plus an other.
04 Aug 2026 21:35:22
You have taken that a bit literally, the 12th.
04 Aug 2026 21:39:36
Let the mind games start. π€π¬π§π΄βͺοΈπ΅

Gjd. A very clever man as always.

Ooooh 5 star β 9.1 rating.
They do get treated well, don't they.
I particularly like the black bathroom and I have my meal chosen for tomorrow.
Bircher Muesli
Yoghurt, honey, porridge oats, apple & crushed roasted hazelnuts
Charcuterie & Cheese Board
Dinner
Shetland Hand Dived Scallops
Chicken and Yeast Crumb, Tomato and Saffron Sauce
Fillet steak (rare) served with Triple Cooked Chips - Baby Gem, Parmesan & Pancetta Salad, and a peppercorn sauce.
If I've room, more cheese.
Selection of British & European Cheeses
Sourdough Crackers, Oatcakes, Truffled Honey, Fig Chutney, Quince Paste.
π
BTW, why is cheese on a dessert menu? It's a savoury dish.
04 Aug 2026 21:44:58
Wullie, in fairness, 12 may not be familiar with White Horse and his accurate posts re 1D.
04 Aug 2026 21:46:41
These other two. The Eastern man π and other, will they be Rangers players or possible players? Can you say?
I'm going out on a limb and saying the Eastern man is our new Asian friend?
And the 4th will be Gazza. π
04 Aug 2026 21:49:20
Ignore my last post, John. I see you've said above "Either signed or will be signing".
04 Aug 2026 21:59:53
Please please please be 2 lightening quick wingers that get up in the morning to run all day. Is it too much to ask for a winger that goes down the line and puts in a cross or drives along the by line and cuts it back every now and then?
Also, feel actual width and crosses would see the best out our strikers, more attractive football and give us an out ball from the back in quick counters.
It baffles me, this person inside constantly, it is incredibly frustrating and, in most cases, ends up getting passed backwards due to 10 men behind the ball in Scotland.
04 Aug 2026 22:03:04
That's weird. U have chosen the exact same meals I am having tomorrow from my work van near Princes Street. I should move trades. Honestly, some people. πππ
04 Aug 2026 22:04:33
Is one JHD at ODG. ππ€£
04 Aug 2026 22:06:25
Gazza, yes, can't believe u have not picked a nice wine, I've been fortunate to stay there, the food is absolutely outstanding as is the red.
04 Aug 2026 22:06:26
Thanks for sharing, John
Do you think Yokota will make it - if everything goes to plan over next 24-48 hours?
Be good to have the option of his services if needed. And if he's fit enough to go straight in?
04 Aug 2026 22:11:19
There is a picture doing rounds, Makahanya standing on steps at reception, the boy needs a wardrobe lol. His grey shorts won't catch on in Glasgow.
04 Aug 2026 22:19:44
Stig, 100% yes, we have till midnight Wednesday to name him in squad if we wish, but one of the 17 would need withdrawn, sign two we need to withdraw 2 if we want any for this round.
I have a suspicion Raskin would be withdrawn due to lack of training, we r well covered in midfield, I think.
04 Aug 2026 22:36:26
The one other the mystery player then John, love the way Rangers are doing business to be fair, 24hrs ago a bit doom and gloom on here and across social media so hopefully a better day or two incoming, a decent result on Thursday would help big time.
04 Aug 2026 22:45:41
Agree Cooper, business is so much under the radar. With exception of Jans.
04 Aug 2026 22:49:34
Yes, there red wines are lovely in there, John.
Have to admit though, there malt collection was more to my liking.
Used to visit for lunch often when I worked in Glasgow many years ago, for Glasgow City Council in Nye Bevan House, Education Department. Under George Mackaay.
Funnily enough, Glasgow City Council has a reputation for being on the other side. (If you know what I mean)?
But you wouldn't have met a bigger Rangers man in George.
Absolute gem of a man and a top manager for Education services and Glasgow Schools.
04 Aug 2026 23:04:22
I'll leave the Chianti to you, John. I'm not a drinker. π
04 Aug 2026 23:05:57
No room at the Inn Gazza, it's where potential new players stay, 1 Devonshire Gardensπ
04 Aug 2026 23:58:40
Thanks, John. Do you know what position the other mystery player staying at 1DG is? I noticed Gentles was on the Europa squad list, so he would likely drop out.
05 Aug 2026 00:17:05
Gazza, this is a bit random but I'm from Shetland and I've never been aware of anyone hand diving for scallops in my life lol, does make it sound fancy right enough but I'm not convinced anyone's that stupid up here. We do have a nice spear hunted wild haggis though.
05 Aug 2026 00:47:45
Su fu, I believe u back scuba off a small boat with a kind of electric rod in your hand, and at the bottom of the sea or loch bed u press the Todd and it sends what you're catching to the surface, mate.
Was offered a job doing that when I was 19 or something.
05 Aug 2026 07:10:43
Savoury dishes at the end of your meal aids digestion. π
05 Aug 2026 09:26:55
Mmm, Stig, after your last post. I wonder if we have crossed paths. I know George well.
Was my boss for a while.
05 Aug 2026 10:34:51
Def hammer gentle classed as home grown so needs to be one off 17 foreign.
Other not sure, been told defender, but there is serious action on another winger.
There you go, Gazza, our eastern friend has signed, 3 year with year option.
05 Aug 2026 14:23:07
Pieter, small world eh, very good chance we have.
I'm going back to around 2013/14.
05 Aug 2026 16:15:52
I have been in the council education department since 2004/2005.
