I quite like the new away kit

Maybe just me
The top sort of reminds me of the 2001/02 top when we were sponsored by NTL

And the shorts are like a throw back to early nineties when we were wondered by Mcewan Lager?

It's a sort of mix between the two.

05 Jun 2026 11:23:00
No matter how bad any of our strips look, they'll never be as bad as any Celtic top.

05 Jun 2026 15:00:59
Yes it's just you Stig.

05 Jun 2026 18:14:37
Correct, Cuillin, that hooped rhag is just awful.

06 Jun 2026 07:23:35
I was underwhelmed initially when I saw pictures of the top alone, not being modelled. But having seen the photos on the Castore site with players modelling it in full kit, I've changed my opinion. I wouldn't say it screams "Rangers" but it's pleasant enough. Not my favourite by any stretch.

06 Jun 2026 12:04:06
I don't mind the kit. I just mind the price tag. Rangers shouldn't be following the doomed kit pricing model of the EPL. They have TV money to cover the lack of top sales (compared to us). 50 quid is enough that if we buy all 4 they would make more than if we only can afford to maybe buy one. And, with tariffs and shipping, the normal top would cost me 100 dollars plus.

That's insane. Between RTV price and, if I make it over, the ticket and travel costs, a top just isn't in the budget. And I've bought at least 2 tops a season since 06. Last year was my first year not getting one. I even have the crappy Puma gear from the lower leagues.

06 Jun 2026 14:28:30
Brad, it has been increasing by £5 for each of the last 3 seasons now, but I agree it is far too expensive. When you think the cost and shipping of the top is less than £9, by the time the retailer, marketing, the manufacturer and the government take their share we reach that figure.

£37+ goes to the retailer, so if at club shop the club get all less overheads.

I haven't bought one for ages since I stopped playing 5s. Tops for em were always just to wear to match or play in. Wife would kill me if I even thought to wear it anywhere else.

04 Jun 2026 20:29:05
New away top out tomorrow, just announced

05 Jun 2026 08:03:38
Think it looks like a poor training top. No thought put in it.

05 Jun 2026 21:36:07
Quite like it, plain but nice.

04 Jun 2026 13:14:07
Try and get a listen if you can to jonny McFarlane of Rangers review doing a podcast about an hour ago to how good a signing he rates lawrence shankland, it's a superb listen 👌🇬🇧He states he even thinks some Rangers supporters don't realise how good a signing this is, as some just see shankland as a kris boyd type striker who's a natural finisher in the box 🤔He says shanks overall game over the last 3 or 4 years has improved so much and he stated that he absolutely although not as good as harry kane, likens shankland's style to kane's 🤔I said the exact same when we signed him last week 👍He was waxing lyrical about shanks link up clever play and movement as well as being a very good goalscorer and reckons both Chermiti and Miovski will benefit massively playing beside shanks 👍🇬🇧 In mcfarlane's opinion he reckons shankland will play mostly and it will be Chermiti and Miovski that will take turns at who plays beside him, i'd imagine would be mostly Chermiti if that indeed was the case 🤔Shanks now overall link play and style was also linked to being of a similar style to the man United striker of yesteryear teddy sheringham 🤔It was a very good podcast and actually made you really think about what a very good signing shankland is for us 👌🇬🇧 What's everyone's thoughts 🤔

04 Jun 2026 13:39:28
Miovski wants out, very lazy player who is ok at scoring goals against lower league teams.

I suppose it's a great endorsement from a Hibernian fan.

04 Jun 2026 14:21:10
I assume McFarlane has forgotten we also have Naderi?

Will Shankland track back and chase in the same way as the others?
Unless we sell Chermiti, Shankland won't be first choice striker, though he may play in a two.

04 Jun 2026 14:36:23
Swso there's not even a slight possibility that Chermiti will play second fiddle to Shankland. That's crazy, mate. I do agree that his game has got so much more than just goals to it. If Chermiti is here he's number 1, 100%.

04 Jun 2026 15:22:29
I think Shankland is a better finisher than all our strikers, but, at 31, we should manage him and use him properly. He's ready-made for certain games and will be better off the bench for others.

Rather than guess who plays most, let's see who's here when the window closes, then have a guess at it.

04 Jun 2026 15:47:57
I don't think Miovski will still be here. Shankland, in my view, will replace Gassama when he plays.

04 Jun 2026 16:12:54
Blue, I wrote early March Miovski was told he could find another club.
Along with Nsiala, Sterling, Bajrami, Danilo, Cifuentes, Cortez.

04 Jun 2026 17:43:45
Think it makes sense if we are playing two up front that Shankland would be playing along side one of the other strikers like Chermiti/Naderi/Miovski.

I don't, however, think Chermiti will be taking turns with anyone.

He will be first name on the team sheet to play up front with Shankland in a two, and, if we go with one up top, Chermiti will be the first on the team sheet then also. In my opinion, of course.

05 Jun 2026 07:19:01
Having both is the real bonus ball, along with Naderi, competition for places, pushing each other along. I expect a lot more goals from the front players this year.

03 Jun 2026 10:57:27
Anyone have any idea of the release date for new strips? I've seen a few posts on what they look like but its still not 100% confirmed that is them.

03 Jun 2026 16:01:27
Deemc stuck in Strait of Hormuz.

03 Jun 2026 16:36:36
Everything stuck there, the now job am
Waiting on my new shaver for my pubes, been stuck there for a month now, and am hairy as feck down there now.

03 Jun 2026 17:03:52
Storm, I'm eating my dinner.

03 Jun 2026 17:41:41
Now you are making it personal, Storm. 😂😂

03 Jun 2026 17:49:20
Get waxed. 🤣🤣

03 Jun 2026 18:44:21
Should be open soon. Israel today opened its borders and is no longer considered a danger to travel.

03 Jun 2026 19:04:55
Ducking Fiscusting. 🤮

03 Jun 2026 19:27:17
Poor John. 😂

03 Jun 2026 19:32:55
Storm Ed has wisely edited my post

03 Jun 2026 22:27:10
We'll use our imagination, for what you had actually said, John, not for Storm shaving his downstairs mix up. 😂

03 Jun 2026 22:57:39
Sorry John, I hope you enjoyed your dinner. Fourlads tried a bikini wax before, maybe should have worn the wife's. 🤦‍♂️ It was rather tight.

04 Jun 2026 08:05:40
There is a bush tucker joke in there somewhere. 😇

06 Jun 2026 17:50:41
Storms shaver stuck in the strait of hormones.

02 Jun 2026 21:58:25
Jeez!

Another 8 women announced as leaving today.

We're going to have no ladies team!

Big summer recruiting for both senior squads.

I liked Camile Lafaix and Shin-Jo

Also, does anyone know why women don't seem to get longer than two year contracts?

02 Jun 2026 23:01:54
Shin Jo was only on loan, I think the club wants her back, but I don't think it looks likely.

Two-year deals are the norm as the league is still developing, so clubs operate on small budgets and player trading isn't anywhere near mature enough to merit taking the financial risk of longer contracts.

Additionally, and it's a tough pill to swallow, due to the anatomical structures, altered muscle patterns, and hormonal fluctuations of the female body, there is a significantly higher risk to lower limb mechanics during high-demand movements.



Some recent analysis indicated that ACL injuries in the women's game are almost 10 times higher than the men's, and the recovery process is nowhere near as efficient or effective.

As such, this turnaround for players is pretty typical, to be fair.

03 Jun 2026 07:43:44
Interesting that Ehl and I didn't know that about ACL injuries in women. ✌️

03 Jun 2026 09:44:59
Thanks for the info, Ehl.

I'm sure there was a documentary about ACL injuries in the women's game, not so long ago.

Interesting stuff!

03 Jun 2026 11:34:47
I've never really taken to women's football. Just not for me. Hope they're not left short though and replacements are incoming.

03 Jun 2026 14:57:31
Iron Gers

I'm not a fan of international football, but when I do watch, I prefer to watch the women's. Less of this cheating, play acting, discrimination and a more family and friendly atmosphere.

03 Jun 2026 16:38:39
Iron, I am the same to be honest, if I wanted to watch football like that would go down local park on a Sunday.

Gazza, there is a clip going about a Rangers player diving, trying to get a pen in cup final from last weekend, so to me that's cheating. 👍

03 Jun 2026 18:36:42
EHL, does pregnancy ever come into it? Not sure a club would be happy to give a player a 4yr deal, then find out the player is taking 2yrs out to have a baby.

Or, are there safeguards for that with a players' union, for example?

03 Jun 2026 18:46:06
Joey barton said port vale mens would beat man city women 30 nil. He is probably not far wrong even though he's an absolute bell.

03 Jun 2026 19:57:35
I expect the usual garbage from Strom on posts about the women's game, but I really don't know what to say in response to that Zikos.

I'm stunned.

04 Jun 2026 08:22:29
Zikos, surely if a woman was pregnant, she would just get x weeks of maternity pay at whatever % of her wage like most other jobs, no?

They would probably be out for a season, not two years, and not sure they'd really need a union involved, as they will have been aware of their benefits they are entitled to when they signed their contracts re maternity pay.

04 Jun 2026 08:23:40
Zikos, really, in this day and age, so are you saying we shouldn't sign any female player in fear of getting pregnant? I would think almost 100% of players would be in the "able to conceive" window of their life.



If it was even lawful we wouldn't have any players available, and I am pretty sure we would be up in front of the discrimination board if we even thought that way. Terrible comment really.

05 Jun 2026 19:11:09
I'm not a huge international football fan either until the business end of competition football but I'd watch men's before women's. There is nothing appealing to me about the women's game but I'm happy they're getting the opportunity.

02 Jun 2026 21:18:41
Great how most people on here were calling Chermiti a flo on here early on now they are calling him a 20mil plus player so fickle.

02 Jun 2026 21:57:57
I've always liked Chermiti and wanted people to stick by him, but you can't really blame people for calling him a flop at the start of the season. For one reason or another, i.e. settling in, getting match fit and sharp, he was quite poor at the start, with a couple of good cameos.



Main thing is, it's appeared to click and if we are lucky he'll have a better season than he did last and get over the 20 goal mark.

03 Jun 2026 07:45:04
Geo, thanks for the constructive input, Geo. 👏 👏 👏

03 Jun 2026 10:57:42
He was a flop, some terrible performances early on. He has had a few very good performances since. Sometimes that happens, Geo, but well done for pointing out that players can actually improve.

03 Jun 2026 14:16:15
Player who was terrible becomes good and fans change their opinion. It's pretty standard for football fans. We all lack a bit of patience, and it's down to how passionate we are. It's a pointless dig tbh.

03 Jun 2026 16:39:18
Is that a Tore Andre Flo?

03 Jun 2026 22:05:52
Few saw Chermiti's ability early. I said something about the Celtic cf Kenny. He scored against us not long after. Few then posted they'd prefer him over Chermiti. True story.

06 Jun 2026 12:11:18
Sell Chermiti.

02 Jun 2026 15:47:31
Gutted to see Mia McAulay leave and a little frustrated at the circumstances.

Hopefully she kicks on and maximises her potential as she's an incredible talent and will be a massive loss to the Scottish game.

02 Jun 2026 16:23:52
I thought she would be the star of the future for us.

02 Jun 2026 17:06:20
Just seen it announced EHL, you did say a few weeks ago it was going to happen. What were the circumstances? Appreciate you maybe can't share that detail, so ignore me if need be.

Do we get a transfer fee?

She is such a talent and will be missed, but can see her flying in one of the bigger leagues if she gets the right move. Think she is still 18 just now, and already has such a depth of experience.



Noticed a good few others also leaving from the women's team. No one in there to be concerned about, but we'll clearly need to recruit well. We need to learn from Glasgow City. They always manage to find a couple of great players to bring in each season who make a massive difference, whilst keeping continuity across much of their squad.

02 Jun 2026 20:05:38
Pity it wasn't Crichton who left.

02 Jun 2026 21:49:11
4 or 5 players announced departures today.

02 Jun 2026 23:05:43
Nothing controversial, Cooper, just the player and the manager not really seeing eye to eye.

I'm not sure on the actual technicalities, however, we may get a small development fee, however, it's dependent on the league she moves to.



I think we'll see a mini influx of players from the US. Good news is that planning etc is well underway, which is just as well as the Champions League games are not far off.

03 Jun 2026 15:31:39
Very frustrating and sad, Ehl, and she's a bluenose at heart and bleeds blue.

Gutted to see her go and hopefully we'll see her back in a Rangers shirt one day, but until then, I wish her a long and successful career.
