Double header this weekend with both teams playing Motherwell, men at home and women away.
I'll miss the men's game as I'll be at the EK vs Hamilton game and then off to watch St Mirren vs Celtic for the late kick off.
Will be at the womens game on Sunday though

With the possible sales/loans or releases of Souttar, Nsiala, McCausland and cifunetes still to come added to the reduction of the squad wages from Tav and others leaving and all the loan players retuning the hit could be less. Also I'm aware before anyone says that these fees are paid in instalments and not all at once.
Rough figures based on what was widely reported fees wise, although i still personally feel we are light of quality in one or two areas the owners have backed the manager to the tune of £23m despite no Europe is a massive outlay.
Time will tell if the squad we're building can improve and be successful which in turn will make us successful in selling on some of what we've brought in for profit.
Fingers crossed 🤞 it works for Mcinnes and he gets enough time to get it right.

Excellent info, Barron.
04 Sep 2026 23:39:58
16m share issue contributes to that, surely? Plus money saved off wage bill, so net spend might be nearer to 5m. Could be wrong.
04 Sep 2026 10:15:06
Given Shankland now has hit a bit of form do we then allow Kelsy time to bed in and get some training under his belt and slowly introduce him down the line?

Good team, Goram, we have good choices now, few different players I'd have starting.
04 Sep 2026 12:24:01
Yeah, I actually struggled with finding which combinations to pick in the various positions.
04 Sep 2026 13:12:28
It seems Dragojevic is a 5th choice midfielder, yet most people have him in their best 11.
Hopefully just bedding him in gently, but he needs to learn on the job.
04 Sep 2026 15:24:16
Agree, Big D, apart from that worldy and a couple of good shots, he's not convinced me with his overall play. It's far too early though, maybe those little signs are a sign of what's to come regularly from him. 🙏
04 Sep 2026 22:48:29
I think Drago is first choice.
He's maybe had an injury concern show up on the tests.
He absolutely starts the Old Firm.
04 Sep 2026 23:41:16
Definitely something to work with bb, 👍 a little too keen at times, but just need to harness that in a good way.
04 Sep 2026 08:11:28
Who do we all see as being the captain for match days going forward. Shankland will keep his place tomorrow I imagine, but we aren't spending 9m on Kelsy and not playing him.
Our strongest team probably doesn't feature our captain or vice captain.
04 Sep 2026 09:24:07
Think we've given ourselves quite a question with that one. He passed it on to Raskin, so could be him on most occasions. How many are guaranteed starters now? We can rotate just about every position.
04 Sep 2026 09:39:03
Kaiser, agree Raskin looks most obvious choice, but don't see him starting every game either. Suppose between Shankland/Raskin/Neil one of them will most likely be playing. Strange situation to be in that the captain and vice captain are most likely not in our strongest eleven.
04 Sep 2026 09:59:15
I think that is why Shankland is the club captain. Del knew he could trust him to push the standards at the club. Most of the captain's work will be outside match days in doing that and acting as conduit between manager and team.
Once they cross the white line, it is up to each individual to push themselves. Not really much a captain can do if the players don't do what is asked.
04 Sep 2026 10:59:16
Angus, I get that to a degree. But we still need a captain in the starting eleven. And also, "Tav isn't captain material" was a staple on here for years. A good captain on the park can make a huge difference.
04 Sep 2026 11:52:34
Delboy, having many captains on the park, can make a huge difference. Lawrence Shankland is our club captain. Good few choices if he isn't playing.
04 Sep 2026 12:04:02
As long as captains can take being dropped, and it doesn't create an issue, and manager doesn't pick someone because he's Captain, then it shouldn't be a big problem, but it does seem an odd one.
04 Sep 2026 13:11:17
We will have a captain on the park, but he might not always be the 'club' captain. Too much influence on match days, imo, to one man with a scrap of material on his arm. We need 'captains' all over the park, and perhaps with Shanks, Neil, and a few others being on the pitch there are more to try and influence others than just the one man in Tav.
Never sure what he was actually meant to do if the team was playing poorly other than play his best; shout at the others. 🤷 I think he would have been picked by Walter for his teams, and with others around him would have got the credit he deserved.
04 Sep 2026 07:54:49
Really happy with all the signings a good mix of squad & first team hopefully that is the end of the big overhaul of players & we can start to spend our money more specifically going forward. A think finally we have a very dynamic forward line which looks to have real pace & balance to it. Fingers crossed it all works out
03 Sep 2026 17:41:31
Well we can't say McInnes hasn't been backed with money spent
Let's hope he can get them all playing together and form an attacking team ready to compete and fight our way to the top of the league come May
Come on Rangers 💙💙

Any truth in the esmir bajraktarevic rumour?
03 Sep 2026 23:03:04
Don't know. But you would get 200+ points on Scrabble for that name. 😂
