Rangers rumours 4

18 Nov 2025 09:23:56
Reading Clement to be announced the new manager of Norwich as early as today. Good luck to him.

18 Nov 2025 09:49:30
indeed, wrong place at wrong time for Rangers, man had his hands tied behind his back, no money, no senior management, doing job of 4 people. anyway good luck Phil, hope it all works out for you sir.

18 Nov 2025 10:12:47
I always liked the guy. He was mis sold the job and I think things became more and more frustrating for him.

He was treated appallingly towards the end and although he could be stubborn I think he was a good manager.

All the best to him.

18 Nov 2025 10:18:28
That's a good job for him. if he gets them tkk ok premier league and gets the right players to keep them there he could enhance his career significantly from there….

18 Nov 2025 10:49:54
I liked big phil, he got a raw deal with us. Hope he smashes it.

18 Nov 2025 11:17:05
He's given himself a tough job there. They're in a mess right now. Any chance of him coming in for any of the players he thought were good enough for us?

18 Nov 2025 11:27:50
Wish the guy every success. Very classy human. I believe he relinquished some monies that he was owed to help the club.

18 Nov 2025 11:34:28
He will do at good job at Norwich, like Clement, he got a raw deal at Rangers, doing jobs he never signed up for, wish him all the best.

18 Nov 2025 11:40:29
Hope he goes there and does well really liked him, as some have said he was Right guy wrong time IMO be watching out for Norwich results from now on.

18 Nov 2025 12:18:20
Overall he did a decent job under the circumstances, suffered from the chaos going on, off the park and had no backing, in fact there was nobody actually there to back him. Won one League Cup and was cheated out of another and a Scottish Cup and had a good record in Europe. Just a pity he didn't survive to get the backing that Martin wasted.


I wish him the best of luck, I have no doubt he'll drag Norwich out of the relegation zone and I'll be keeping an eye on their results from now on. Pretty sure he has inherited a couple of centre backs that we tried to sign,

18 Nov 2025 12:30:22
16 points off the play offs Kasier, second bottom right now, but they still have 31 games remaining, can't see him making the play offs, but Martin done that with less games, can see Norwich finishing 10/12 this season, fighting for promotion the next season.

18 Nov 2025 12:34:32
One things for sure we would have had far better results in been in a better position in the league and Europe if we still had him, but with Thelwells appointment likely have been a tougher ride than he had prior to takeover, very good record in belgium pre move to french premier with monaco, was doing well there too until the board cashed in on their top talents.

18 Nov 2025 12:59:56
Good luck big Phil.

18 Nov 2025 13:11:19
Good luck Phillipe 🫡.

18 Nov 2025 13:46:08
Always had a lot of time for Clement. Think he got a raw deal here. Would love to have seen him here with the proper backing.

18 Nov 2025 14:46:53
I'm another who liked Clement, no other Rangers manager had to contend with the circumstances the poor guy was landed with.

All the very best for the future Big Phil, you got a raw deal for sure.

18 Nov 2025 16:57:35
Good to see the genuine respect and love for Phil. Makes me proud to be a ranger when I see that stuff.

We need to do it more often for ex Gers though.
Too much of a split in respect among fans for ex Gers.

18 Nov 2025 18:42:52
Ex players and managers generally get respect if they have earned it, big Phil did, under difficult circumstances. Can't say the same for Martin and Beale, hence why they won' t get the same best wishes from the fans.

19 Nov 2025 09:30:50
Echo what everyone else saying, always liked him and thought he was treated harshly.

19 Nov 2025 12:42:53
The Rangers job came a year to soon for him.

19 Nov 2025 14:39:44
Wsl I'm talking about players who did earn it, managers who did. Gerrard namely.

The way people talk about him is a fu**** disgrace mate.

I could lost plenty.

21 Nov 2025 13:26:09
Stevie_G_new, I have to agree with you on that one.

18 Nov 2025 09:18:34
Sky reporting big Phil to be appointed as manager of Norwich. Best of luck to him.

18 Nov 2025 19:33:19
Lack of financial backing doesn't excuse his inability to change tactics, sticking with previous managers style of play. Barry Ferguson showed more tactical ability in his short tenure than Clement did. Certainly not the worst but even with a budget, I don't think he would have made much of an impact.

18 Nov 2025 22:31:34
Why did managers playing against Clement Rangers in Europe praise his tactics then Willie? that post was utter nonsense as far as am concerned.

17 Nov 2025 08:56:57
Talk again of spurs interested in Raskin, I think it's clear he will be off but what do we think would be a realistic fee, I understand he's a Belgian international but think we would only get between £10m and £15m to be honest, he should be worth more but can't see us getting the kind of fee that seems to get banded about other leagues for similar players.

17 Nov 2025 09:50:33
22 million use Bassey comparison and that would be us still selling cheap compared to European prices same player in diff league goes for way more.

Dont want another igamane where we've drastically undersold, but i also understand his deal is winding down.

20 million would be fair under his current circumstance and if Spurs are serious, i'd be telling them you want to risk him going to the World Cup and having way more suiters afterwards.

17 Nov 2025 09:54:11
We should give him a mega contract offer just to get his deal extended to give us a stronger position as i'm sure come the summer, he only has a year left on his current deal.

17 Nov 2025 10:32:25
Only got 18 months left on deal come next transfer window. He should be extending even if he's planning to stay give us max value for him. If he's not extending then sell in Jan.

17 Nov 2025 11:04:12
Poor form and a low contract I think be lucky to get 8m for him. If he signs a new deal and plays better second half of season then has a good World Cup could see him going for 20m round about. Hopefully the latter happens.

17 Nov 2025 11:20:05
Compare it with the Belgian that mob bought for £11 mil and can't get in the Belgium team. Personally I think he has to be offered a bigger contract with a £25-£30 mil buy out, especially with the World Cup around the corner. I don't think Rohl will replace Tav as captain this year but I think wee Nico would thrive with that responsibility.

17 Nov 2025 11:23:31
Forever we ain't getting that imo think it will be what Op said roughly 15 at best.

17 Nov 2025 11:52:59
Good time to play hardball with him, before he plays hardball with us.

Offer improved terms, a buy out clause, and a promise to sell, or he can sit on the bench from January until the end of the season and watch Engels take his place in the Belgium squad.

17 Nov 2025 12:10:13
Very much doubt we get £20m for Raskin.
Would we be happy if Rangers paid that for him based on his recent performances?

17 Nov 2025 12:36:48
What if Raskin has a sell on clause same as igamane around 12 million euros.

17 Nov 2025 12:39:45
Truthfully Raskin has played 1 good game for us this season rest of the time he's been average at best not near last seasons standards.
If we got offered anything over 12 million considering his contract length then I can see him going.
If he was playing like last season you'd be looking at double that.

17 Nov 2025 12:45:10
He's worth in the 20s of millions all day long for me, shota.

17 Nov 2025 13:19:13
I read somewhere that he is about to sign a new deal but that may just be rumour. If he doesn't we should be looking for the same as we got for Bassey plus a sell on. He's now an established Belgian international and keeping out players playing in better leagues in what is regarded as a strong European nation.

If its a top EPL club like Villa or Spurs that want him, that level of fee is still cheap to them.

17 Nov 2025 13:20:23
With 18 months 15million with add ons is ok.

17 Nov 2025 13:40:45
Raskin signs another contract it will be around 20m, if he doesn't it will probably be 12/15m unless he has a very good world cup.

17 Nov 2025 14:13:51
Raskin is keeping some very talented / highly rated players out of the Belgium international team.

17 Nov 2025 14:28:39
Correct mph, Tielemans the last game and Onana the game before, players valued at 40m+.

17 Nov 2025 14:39:45
I think if he has another year or 2 on his contract we would be asking for over £25 million.

17 Nov 2025 15:21:18
I'll be pleasantly surprised if we manage to get £15m for him, not that he's not worth that but I'll be surprised.

He's been a good player if not spectacular, perhaps we'd have seen more in a better team.

17 Nov 2025 15:22:50
John that would be a buyout fee not a sell on.

17 Nov 2025 15:24:11
He's a £25m player all day long.

We can base thi on his performances for his national team and compare price with his peers and you're still getting a bargain:

£25m standard price with 10% sell on fee.

17 Nov 2025 15:37:01
Well if that's the case then John we are protected as 12m with a year and half left is pretty decent and if we agree a new deal then we can increase the release clause.

17 Nov 2025 15:43:21
t 10/15m imo with 18 months left. i'd be selling in jan and hopefully using that fee a lot more wisely than the summer.

17 Nov 2025 17:04:57
Hes came out through this dad and said he isn't going anywhere in January. Not a chance.
So he's here til summer.
Better try offer him a new contract with promise sell and a wee backhander from the fee.

17 Nov 2025 17:53:53
Didn't think he would Stevie not with the wc around the corner, hopefully signs another contract before it.

17 Nov 2025 18:12:03
Am sure I saw Raskin has a deal until May 2028.

17 Nov 2025 18:54:14
Raskin is a regular starter for Belgium and IF we were to sell him surely he is worth £20m minimum.

17 Nov 2025 18:58:42
Stevie, he gets a percentage of the fee in any case .

Wee backhanders indeed.

17 Nov 2025 19:51:48
Regardless of if Raskin is keeping £40 mil players out of the Belgium team, the problem is he plays in Scotland and we are seen as the equivalent of league 1. If he doesn't sign a new deal then he needs to go which I think we would do well to get 12 to 15 mil for him. If he signs a new deal, nails down a consistent starting spot for Belgium and has a good World Cup then I don't see why we couldn't get 20 to 30 mil for him.

His style is hard to find in a player nowadays and before anyone jumps on my case, yes he hasn't been at his best but when he plays for his country he stands out.

17 Nov 2025 20:44:40
Tom I remember reading the player gets 5% of the fee from one of the Ed's last year.

I was meaning something like the bounding deal where he got £1m of the fee when we sold him I believe

Could do something similar with Raskin.

Promise to sell for fee over £20-25m amd give him £1m.

17 Nov 2025 20:48:05
If you believe the rumours there is interest from clubs across Europe in him so think around 15 mil is within reach and realistic to expect plus a decent sell on % I think over 20 is on the optimistic side but if we have multiple interested parties you never know.

17 Nov 2025 21:15:57
From what we have seen in Raskin, I'd take any money and move on with a player who wants to be at the club. He is anonymous far too often and his ball retention for a midfielder isn't good enough.

I think he's got potential but he's certainly not a must keep. I believe he plays well for Belgium so maybe Rohl can get some consistency out of him. We just have not seen it so far.

17 Nov 2025 22:10:10
Glasgow are you saying Raskin hasn't had many outstanding games for Rangers? not a better cm in the country, anonymous? I'm clearly watching a different player, maybe he's been off form in a few games lately but he's all over the park trying to win the ball.

17 Nov 2025 22:24:07
30 mill, straight sale, no add on.

17 Nov 2025 22:42:07
Should read boumsong *

My keyboard is gubbed on this phone.

18 Nov 2025 03:45:15
Get him to sign a new 2 years deal 25 million release if he has a good World Cup that's a bargain for him everyone is a winner.

18 Nov 2025 06:05:57
Thing is rfc wef meed to offer him to be highest paid player to sign the deal. We have players on 35/37 k pw mate so 40k pw for niko tik summer time.
Sell him after wc for 20-25m and give him his usual 5% of deal as required by fifa law, PLUS another 5% as part of his contract.

I'd also say that while 25m is the buyout that we would negotiate over 20m but 25m is the buyout met.

18 Nov 2025 07:16:08
That matt oriley went for 25million. Raskin is definitely worth 20 at least.

18 Nov 2025 07:48:22
Southend - O'Riley won two titles, had several years left on his contract, and had just hit 19 goals from midfield.

I agree we tend to undervalue players, but I'm not sure a wantaway Raskin entering the last 12-18 months of his contract would net us the same £.

Offer him improved terms with a buy out clause and promise to sell, and we can maximize value after the World Cup.

If he won't sign, he can sit on the bench from January and watch Engels take his place in the Belgium squad.

Can't have Nico making a name for himself at the World Cup, then negotiating a free agent move 6 months later for the end of next season.

18 Nov 2025 10:19:24
How many of those goals were pens though. ?

18 Nov 2025 12:19:33
For me with 18 month contract 12 would be realistic but a massive mistake. If i'm the owners I'd be pushing the boat out a bit to get him on an extended contract with a release clause that's fair for club and player in the hope he has a good world Cup if there and we allow him to leave with all our blessings in the summer after the world Cup.

20 Nov 2025 19:28:53
Raskin is easily a 30 million pound player.
If he signs for epl team he is then in excess of 45 million. belguim national and ran the show for 2 games out the last 4-5.we should get a good price not the 15 mill people are saying I reckon 20-25 mill easy.

17 Nov 2025 08:12:31
See, we're being linked with Shea Charles on some sites, maybe clickbait, Southampton and Northern Ireland midfielder,22, worked with Rohl at Wednesday, anyone any info? Unsure as to the veracity of this.

17 Nov 2025 08:35:09
Hope so cracking player
Raskins replacement?

17 Nov 2025 09:32:03
Fork hopefully this is true but he won't be cheap mate.

17 Nov 2025 09:35:02
If true, I would like to think he's a replacement for Diomande.

17 Nov 2025 09:51:24
Were we not linked to him before Rohl too?

17 Nov 2025 10:07:25
DTB, Charles is a defensive midfielder he wouldn't be Diomande replacement, really can't see this being true but would be over the moon if it is, just can't see us paying over 10m for a player but could be wrong after Chermiti.

17 Nov 2025 11:04:55
These owners are ambitious mystar hopefully they are ready to rectify their mistakes from the summer with a big backing for Rohl.

17 Nov 2025 11:12:28
Key in his name with Rangers, its everywhere, granted may be nothing in it, as I said unsure as to the veracity and probable clickbait.

17 Nov 2025 11:22:36
We need a CB, DMF and striker in January
That's for starters 😅.

17 Nov 2025 11:56:20
Stingo, Charles is a dcm that can play cb mate.

17 Nov 2025 12:45:35
Left back area.

17 Nov 2025 13:10:36
Shea is a cracking player would walk into our side. Pierce is his younger Brother who we was linked with in the Summer. i'd be shocked if we got either tbh but both worked under Rohl.

17 Nov 2025 13:21:57
Charles is currently playing for Southampton so he would be hard to prise away especially of Russell Martin takes over again. the only way I could see this happening is of we got big money for Raskin however I would prefer to have the two of them in our midfield together.

17 Nov 2025 13:44:41
CalB would like Pierce as well mate, he'll play for a top club later in his career. Shea would be a top signing for Rangers, just can't see that happening though, pay for him what we receive for Raskin.

17 Nov 2025 18:03:06
Mystar i agree with with Pierce hopefully recovers from his injury and gets back to playing soon.

Shea would be a great signing he sorta reminds me of a defensive version of Gibbs-White the build alongside the technical ability but I can't see Southampton anything less than 20mill even with a year left on his deal.

17 Nov 2025 18:52:19
Rangers will spend I've no doubt in that. I'm still very excited by Rangers' future.

17 Nov 2025 20:11:29
Personally I'd rather sell Diomonde than Raskin.

17 Nov 2025 21:34:33
Is the northern ireland goalkeeper pierce charles injured 🤔.

16 Nov 2025 12:11:22
Heard a wee rumour today that we are currently monitoring the Groningen striker Brynjólfur Andersen Willumsson. 25 year old striker, his brother plays for Birmingham I believe. Any ITK posters heard anything regarding this?

16 Nov 2025 12:47:32
Don't know him but had a look Mols, 5 goals in 8 league games, seemingly plays cm or cam as well but main position is a cf.

16 Nov 2025 15:07:13
Rohl seems to like 'hybrid" player type so fits the profile and can't imagine the fee would be too frightening for him!

16 Nov 2025 15:14:43
Sorry missed out his name, Galymzhan Kenzhebek.

16 Nov 2025 16:06:02
That was meant for the post below the Kazakhstan player.

16 Nov 2025 19:05:02
Heard we're in touch with a Brann director about one of there strikers?

16 Nov 2025 20:05:20
Paul that player above I've just read he's linked with Dundee United and out of contact next month.

17 Nov 2025 01:25:01
Mystar is it total snobbery to be concerned if we're monitoring a player linked to scumdee? 😂.

17 Nov 2025 09:33:20
Paul we ain't interested but he was class against Belgium mate.

17 Nov 2025 09:53:14
Not a great scoring record at all.

We need to start buying guys with proven goals record this team lacks goals.

17 Nov 2025 10:32:05
Some of us struggle to spell the likes of Cherooti and Cornelious so let's sign easier names. like Smiff and Joans.

17 Nov 2025 10:41:52
Franco that reply was meant for you mate.

17 Nov 2025 10:58:14
Forever he's scored 5 goals in 8 league games for a very average team in the Dutch league.

15 Nov 2025 21:06:07
Maybe John or EHL could confirm if they've heard that Neil McCann is the frontrunner and poised to be named as part of Danny Rohl's backroom team 🤔I've just been told this 🤔.

15 Nov 2025 22:09:26
Walter have stated I'm not saying who will get the job.

15 Nov 2025 22:22:15
ASA would be the man to ask.

15 Nov 2025 22:36:51
Sorry, not heard a peep.

16 Nov 2025 11:51:39
I'd be ok with McCann or Davis both know what it takes to win at Rangers and both have good reputations as coaches.

16 Nov 2025 19:05:10
After hearing opinions on here about Davis and his role with Northern Ireland, I would prefer him, I just don't think McCann is as good as he thinks he is, his managerial and coaching track record are hardly inspiring for someone who comes across as a bit of a know it all.

Loves the sound of his own voice and I find him quite irritating during commentary.

15 Nov 2025 17:27:55
Had anyone ITK got any info on Stering. Did I not read about a month ago that he was back on the grass training. I think we all agree that a fully fit Sterling plays in our defence.

I know the boy had a serious injury along with all his other problems but with the modern sports science which no doubt costs us a fortune will be eventually be fit to get in the team.

15 Nov 2025 18:23:03
Honestly mate, I'd play him up top before the boy from Everton.

15 Nov 2025 19:38:03
Sterling's recovery is moving the right way.
Danny gave a timeline after footage at Auchenhowie showed him stepping up rehab in training.

He won't be rushed, but the expectation is he'll be back before year's end and gradually integrated back into match squads.

15 Nov 2025 19:39:36
Guaruntee 2 more injury spells before the seasons end. He's useless and it's a pity.

15 Nov 2025 20:15:27
Unless we are spending money or bringing in a freebie, likely rotating Sterling when he is fit and Tav if he gets an extension?

15 Nov 2025 20:24:04
Like the lad but his fitness is a major issue.

15 Nov 2025 23:27:55
Dado 😂.

16 Nov 2025 06:59:59
Dado, The boy from Everton is named Chermiti, he is also a Rangers player.

16 Nov 2025 07:31:06
Does that mean he's the boy from Rangers👀 now😉🤣 sorry tourettes😇.

16 Nov 2025 07:50:24
No Fork but when we're talking about Raskin we'll just call him from boy from Standard, cringey.

16 Nov 2025 08:05:30
I really hope I read on the Plymouth Argyle forum soon that 'the boy from Rangers is murder'.

16 Nov 2025 12:42:38
another guy who seems to get better when he is out injured, hagi was same, we have had a few.

16 Nov 2025 12:46:18
as a youth, Sterling played up front.

16 Nov 2025 13:38:46
When Sterling comes back at right back we could play Tav up front he's more of a threat than the boy from Everton, the man from Girona and the man from Feyenoord. Sandy Jardine and Roger Hynd both did it short term, maybe Tav could tide us over to the January window.

16 Nov 2025 14:05:49
"Player "- is that not pushing the narrative there, Mystar? - 🤔😁.

16 Nov 2025 19:06:17
He needs to move on, he never has and never will give us a full season, can't be relied on. There is a player there though when available.

16 Nov 2025 23:11:02
Bt 58, ask John, ohh that's right he is not telling anybody anything wtf.

15 Nov 2025 11:43:26
Sani Suleiman is a 19 years old Nigerian winger who players for AS Trencin in Slovakia. Latest to be linked but apparently Chelsea and Spurs are after him.

15 Nov 2025 12:59:27
I just had a look through my messages, because I was told about a young Nigerian not long ago, but sure he was a cm, but must have wiped it, think it was after a poster put up about another young Nigerian and that name sounds similar so maybe that's who that poster put up around a month ago? can't remember the posters users name though.

15 Nov 2025 13:20:12
Franco, sounds about right in terms of the profile of the player and it's a league we've been actively monitoring.

15 Nov 2025 13:30:54
If the teams I read were watching him are genuinely interested then we have no chance.

15 Nov 2025 14:47:48
Not necessarily WSL, the offer of 1st team football, playing in front of 50k every fortnight, challenging for trophies, Europe and the promise of moving him on to a better league ( if successful) may be enough to tempt young talent as it did for eg: Igamane.

15 Nov 2025 15:31:16
My star, get a look at the young Kazahkstanian Dastan Satpaev plays for Kairat Almaty only 17 years old scored again against Belgium today. Got a very bright future ahead of him.

15 Nov 2025 15:39:33
Rfc, sure Chelsea signed him mate.

15 Nov 2025 15:39:39
Satpaev has already agreed deal to join Chelsea.

15 Nov 2025 16:43:14
They will be paying him mental money 😂.

15 Nov 2025 16:58:31
Full monty, I think when it comes to african nations in general they see it as away out and generally chase the bucks on show.
If it was a lower league team maybe but the gravitas of Chelsea and spurs Is different.

15 Nov 2025 19:09:23
What about the boy Mafokeng we were rumoured keen on or was he a koppen target that were no longer watching?

15 Nov 2025 19:24:14
Very talented young player.
Makes me wonder if countries like Kazakhstan can produce young talent like that why can't Scotland? Think our country is horrendous for developing and nurturing talent.
What ever happened to the young lad that left us to go to Aston Villa? Can't remember his name, sure he was a striker?

15 Nov 2025 21:19:17
Rfc you being serious look at Scotlands midfield 😂.

15 Nov 2025 21:19:44
Rory Wilson I'm sure John sayed he was doing ok.

15 Nov 2025 23:22:07
Rfc55loyal, letting the bigger clubs have b teams playing in the lower leagues can only help.

16 Nov 2025 00:28:33
Rfc look at the keeper, he's what 42? Countries a similar size in population to us seem to do much better with their youth development.

16 Nov 2025 13:42:09
The Fool Monty, Igamane didn't have La Liga teams and big EPL teams after him or he wouldn't have come to us. If one of them want him they'll get him and we won't even be in the running. We might not even be able to offer European football next season.

16 Nov 2025 15:12:34
Rfc55loyal, Kazakhstan lw was impressive against Belgium, lightning fast and had the Belgium rb turning in circles with his foot work, I looked him up, he's only valued around 800k and 22 year old.

14 Nov 2025 12:25:25
Few media outlets now reporting that whole is considering giving tav a contract extension.

14 Nov 2025 13:35:12
Danny, Danny whole.

14 Nov 2025 13:46:06
Let the madness begin.
It's a no/ yes/ mabye fae me
Can't say I sit on the fence.
If we don't bring in two, he's getting another year.

14 Nov 2025 13:55:48
Gulp🤢.

14 Nov 2025 13:59:07
Just checked on every news outlet that I use, and also Googled his name with contract extension. Nothing at all saying that he has been, or is likely to be, offered an extension to his current deal.

14 Nov 2025 14:15:11
The squad is devoid of leaders, not a bad idea to keep him around as a squad player if he's willing. People argued that for Balogun so it seems logical in my eyes. He seems quite settled.

14 Nov 2025 14:19:46
Aye to clean the lavvies 😉👍.

14 Nov 2025 15:06:00
At the £37k pw that would be another terrible decision. I really can't see him being extended and really hope he isn't.

14 Nov 2025 15:09:40
No is the answer - or we will end up in a bigger Whole 😫.

14 Nov 2025 15:14:18
Tav will move south next season after retiring his shirt and captaincy.

14 Nov 2025 16:41:00
Would be 37k if he renewed, prefer he moved on.

14 Nov 2025 17:22:25
OK, but he needs stripped of the captaincy, on a drastically reduced wage, who will be back up only, and replaced by a player good enough to make the RB position his own. If not all criteria is met, then he needs to go.

14 Nov 2025 16:20:43
Danny wonder whole. Typos are a great thing davie 😂 on the extension for el capitano am torn. Maybe not as captain but still think tav is a useful player interms of penalty conversion.

14 Nov 2025 18:20:02
I wrote last week his agent was talking to Rangers two year deal.

14 Nov 2025 18:45:01
Before last summers disastrous window I would have said no to giving Tav a new contract but after seeing the squad ripped apart to the extent he is the only person at the club to have won anything and the fact that we have made no headway in replacing him, I would say it makes sense to give him another year, probably on a reduced wage, if he wants to stay.


His numbers are dropping but he is our top scorer domestically this season and has played three different positions, two stats that show how bad the rest are. Currently he's not the problem.

14 Nov 2025 18:45:57
Would he be on a lower wage John?

14 Nov 2025 19:17:06
Would def keep him for another year on reduced terms. Bring in his replacement and have both for a year.

14 Nov 2025 20:34:26
The absolute lack of respect shown towards James Tavernier is disgraceful. If had played in the Souness, Advocat, Mcleish or Smith era he would be lauded over the years. That being said if he is to renew he needs vastly reduced wages and a rotational playing role given his age now.

14 Nov 2025 20:46:09
Surely not, he's getting on a bit now.

14 Nov 2025 21:57:33
Absolute ridiculous offering him a new deal. It's madness.

14 Nov 2025 22:11:56
Drastic wage drop and yes he stays.

14 Nov 2025 22:51:35
Drop of at least 25k, squad player, if he's not happy with that, he can go and find his next club and wished all the best.

15 Nov 2025 00:43:40
Fork that comment was unnecessary regarding Tav cleaning the toilets, he has been a superb servant to our club……people have short memories.

15 Nov 2025 06:09:05
Great servant to the club but no longer justifies the wage he is on and his physical capability is on a downward trajectory so feel it is his time to go to pastures new to see out the remainder of his career.

15 Nov 2025 07:10:58
No it wasn't, not a fan of sarcastic humour, he was in the past good, he's not anymore hasn't been for a while, been going downhill for a while, squad player if he stays, nothing else.

15 Nov 2025 07:12:56
Correct Borders, sentimentality nothing more.

15 Nov 2025 07:27:35
Really don't see him getting an extension. He should be thanked for his contribution, given his testimonial and part ways. Sadly his contribution has dropped massively since the run to the Europa final.

15 Nov 2025 08:37:50
You seen the state of our toilets Fork?

15 Nov 2025 09:15:35
Get shot. Require better.

15 Nov 2025 09:29:55
I'm sorry Fork, but you were out of order. Hang your head! 😁😁.

15 Nov 2025 10:05:04
Lol really👀🤣.

15 Nov 2025 11:04:29
When we acquire a right back who can

a) play 15 games without injury, and
b) perform better than Tav

we should let Tav go. However, all attempts to replace him thus far have failed, miserably. If fit, Sterling could be that player but he's not fit. The alternative options are not near good enough.

He's at the end of his Rangers career but we need a better, robust replacement prior to throwing him on the retirement pile.

15 Nov 2025 11:20:22
He is our top scorer this season too.

15 Nov 2025 11:58:53
Agreed EG. How many RBs has Tav seen come and go? They have either been injured or not as good. In addition, he is still one of our best technical players in terms of ball control. The 'need better' idea is great but I would say 7 or 8 other positions are in greater need of 'better'.

We will do well to employ someone who is 'as good'. Yes, time is catching up with him and any new contract should be on a more realistic salary. He would not have been out of place in any of our successful teams in the past.

15 Nov 2025 12:09:39
That just proves how woeful we have been Blue Yonder!

15 Nov 2025 12:14:16
Joint with Gassama on 6.

15 Nov 2025 12:29:25
We tried replacing him this year, and look how that went. Premier league experienced player. We should have signed Mulligan when he was on a free, but we ****ed that. Its a yes from me until we can guarantee an upgrade.

15 Nov 2025 12:36:01
Tavs contract should be renewed at about 10-15k.

15 Nov 2025 12:50:54
Good idea keeping Tav on a much lower wage. Say 15k per week and a back up right back role. Can also cover if we play back 3z

I'm all for this.

15 Nov 2025 13:18:06
I think tav is still of the quality he could go to the mls last 2 years and get 20-25k I believe he will go down that road.

15 Nov 2025 13:38:26
I agree it would be a good idea to get somebody better than Tav but let's get this guy, whoever he is, first and then let him go.

We needed better than Propper and look what we got, Djiga and Fernandez. We needed better than Dessers and we got Miovski and Chermiti. We were talking about getting rid of Tav when we signed Aarons and that's not exactly worked out.

Tav is currently our best option at right back and we should not get rid of him until we are sure we have a decent replacement. We don't even have an obvious replacement as captain never mind right back.

15 Nov 2025 17:32:30
Tavs been an excellent servant to to our club
But honest opinion he's past his best n a squad player at best
We need a new captain n a new direction
As much as I love him
He's not the captain to take us forward
But still a good experienced head to have around.

16 Nov 2025 12:49:32
we could use Rothwell for free kicks etc, but those in row Z would be in danger as would their cars in the car park.

16 Nov 2025 13:44:48
Who would you make captain then?

16 Nov 2025 21:34:58
Surely when Tav signed his last deal with us he knew that was his last 'big' contract one way or another at his age. If he wants to stay I can't see a pay cut being an issue.
