Must admit fellow bears I am genuinly overjoyed at the news of Davis coming back. We had the Naismiths and Lafferty rumours and personally speaking I would have taken both back ( still big Laff if the price was right ) but the possibility of Davis and with shagg*r back already I feel Gerrard and Mark Allen are being very smart.
Bringing experienced guys back to the club who are not just quality players but have been there and proved they can not only handle the jersey but win for the club they love. Stick that in the mix with young hungry guys who also love the club and the experience and drive of SG and Gary Mac things are finally starting to look up! I genuinely think it's our time to wipe that smug look off bucktooth Browns face! They've had all their own way for far too long. #Lets go 🔴⚪ï¸ðŸ”µ.

Genuinely quite excited about the prospect as well but don't think i can see it happening, just reading several different news reports on the situation and it seems either Davis or his agent are issuing a "come get me" plea which i don't think we'll bite too. I hope i'm wrong.
2.) 29 Jun 2018 21:33:33
Bears1872 to quote Wesley snipes in white men can't jump "just because u put a cat in the oven doesn't make it a biscuit"
I do love the optimism and I quietly feel confident but I am still worried as we are under someone who IS commanding respect but has never worked a day as a manager in his life. so let's do what we always do. keep it classy, hawd oor watir until at least we can see things are working.
I'm one of the tubes who listened to Pedro and thought I had the new Jose mourinho!
After the first OFG if we've not been smashed then please feel free to come on tell me I was wrong.
Just worried and been here before.
26 Apr 2018 10:36:36
Arfield and Mcgregor have signed 3 and 2 year deals reportedly. Wes away to Forrest or Sheff Wed.
I think Gerrard would be a huge gamble if reports are true. Maybe after Warburton I would of been really happy but look how Pedro turned out! I think at this stage we need a proven manager who has a knack of setting teams up to be hard to beat and also get the best out of average players as we don't have the ready's to go out and buy the players necessary to overtake that lot which is why Steve Clarke or Warnock would be front of the que for me. If we had the luxury of time on our hand then great but to be honest bears I don't think I can take another season of that lot rubbing our faces in it and 10 in a row doesn't even bare thinking about.
1.) 26 Apr 2018 11:16:16
I absolutely agree that gerrard is a huge gamble, but it could be either stupidity or genius. Perhaps our youth will start to flourish in the first team next season with gerrard having come through youth himself and currently doing well with liverpools under 18's
2.) 26 Apr 2018 12:09:43
BEAR72 - -the quality of the players being looked at with next to no sell on value, would suggest to me that it is definately a British manager we are to expect. i also suggested a day or 2 ago that Wes was in the huff re the Greegs saga and that why we haven't seen him for the last 2 weeks.
A lot of change to come, but same old story, we spent a lot, are getting nothing in return, and won't be able to offload many of these guys as there isn't exactly a queue at our door for them!
3.) 26 Apr 2018 13:44:32
We have young McCrorie coming through would much rather he learnt his trade from McGregor than Fod as at least he will learn to come for crosses
4.) 26 Apr 2018 14:36:55
Foderingham has been nursing a shoulder injury that's why he hasn't been seen in 2 weeks
5.) 26 Apr 2018 18:33:22
Is that why he's not been seen coming for crosses in 3 years? .
30 Jan 2018 23:43:18
If Morelos does go which I think he will if the money is right I would like to see us go for Will Grigg! Provan goal scorer and think we could get him for a couple of million now Wigan are in league one! Only 26 so possible sell on value too! Thoughts bears?
1.) 30 Jan 2018 23:55:28
I'd prefer someone small and fast like Devante Cole
2.) 31 Jan 2018 06:46:21
Watched the liester and fleet wood game and looked the like of devante cole but if morales wants England stay and finish this season top scorer and he will be worth double of dembele
3.) 31 Jan 2018 08:28:49
I would try to secure a deal for Umut Bozok young Turkish striker top scorer in Ligue 2 and would cost at least €6M. Hopefully the scouting system in place now have targets and if the Morelos deal is on we can get one tied down. I’d even be open to securing a summer target now with any money that comes in and getting in a short term back up for Jason Cummings.
4.) 31 Jan 2018 09:04:14
A think if he stays and gets his head down he will get big money move to England in the summer and could double his wages offered by the Chinese
5.) 31 Jan 2018 10:44:03
Could mibee get that boy bozuk cheaper than £6 mil could we not? he looks really good, but think Lyon and Nantes are interested.
26 Jan 2018 23:12:22
Couple of points bears
First of all If Wilson leaves its down to money! Once in a life time opportunity? To me playing for Rangers is just that and he’s had 2 shots now! If he doesn’t want to be a ger then good riddance! It can’t be down to football cause the MLS is murder!
Secondly I think we need to get Bates tie down as soon as possible! Had my doubts but has been outstanding the last few games! Still think he’s a work in progress but given time I think we could have a proper no nonsense CB on our hands!
1.) 27 Jan 2018 00:54:05
The SPL is murder too it’s one of the worst leagues in Europe I’m not saying it’s right or wrong about Wilson just in my opinion he ain’t swapping a good league for a bad one it’s obviously money/ lifestyle if he away
2.) 27 Jan 2018 02:47:51
A had my doubts about bates tae tbh. when he played 1st few games for us, but been really impressed with him. he's not the quickest but his positioning and and no nonsense defending has impressed me.
3.) 27 Jan 2018 11:18:42
Worst league in Europe, but according to some people, anyone coming from Europe can't live with the pace of our games?
4.) 27 Jan 2018 13:36:23
Bil72 the best leagues in Europe players get a lot more time on the ball because their passing and touch is far better and also down to the standard of the pitches largely due to weather conditions. So yes the pace in Scotland in is faster but that doesn't make it better quite the opposite in fact. Most countries wouldn't recognise what we play as football it looks more like pinball to them
5.) 27 Jan 2018 14:41:26
He's not the quickest? 😂 Boy is rapid compared to our other centre backs
6.) 27 Jan 2018 14:51:25
Bil72 pace doesn't equal good (see O'Halloran) .
7.) 27 Jan 2018 15:26:13
Hey JimBob and BigMarv,
Sounds like you guys are from the U. S. and your egos are a wee bit bruised with the comments about the MLS being murder. If you seriously think that a move from the SPL to the MLS is a lateral move then you don't know football or as you call it "soccer".
I will agree that standard across the board in the SPL may not be top quality but to call it one of the worst in Europe is just ignorant.
The conditions and style of play definitely make it a very difficult style to adapt to but again, to say that the players in the rest of Europe get more time on the ball because they have a better touch is total nonsense.
Let me ask, how many players from the MLS are being prospected to play in the top leagues in England or Europe? As opposed to how many young prospects from Scotland are being bought up English teams.
Why is it that guys like Alves can flourish in the other leagues can flourish there but struggle to stamp their dominance in the SPL.
The one thing we need is guys that are "Consistently" showing up for the games. Not on one week and off the other like Wilson has been in the past.
There is obviously internal conversations that have made Rangers shy away from offering a contract extension. If he was a major part of our future Murty would have fought to tie him up. Moving to Colorado isn't exactly a weather related decision. lol
{Ed001's Note - to be fair, players from Scotland don't need a work permit to play in England, while most players in the MLS would.}
8.) 27 Jan 2018 16:21:40
First of all skmg11 I am born and bred in Glasgow and not once have I criticised Wilson for his decision nor have I suggested it as a lateral move, and I'm in full agreement about the pish poor standard of the MLS. I am one for calling a turd a turd! However you only need to look at the International teams as evidence that many other European countries have a better touch. There are many reasons for this one being the quality of pitches and weather conditions which I pointed out. Is it a coincidence that teams from Holland, Portugal etc. sell their players for far more than the paltry sums we receive for ours? I have already wished Wilson good luck in his new adventure and while I'm slightly disappointed I don't feel it's a great loss.
9.) 27 Jan 2018 18:26:21
based on clubs co-efficient, Scotland currently sits 27th. Behind such rip roaring leagues as Bulgaria, Romania, Azerbijian (or however you spell it) and Israel. Maybe calling it the worst is a bit harsh, but its hardly great reading is it?
10.) 27 Jan 2018 20:22:13
Evening bears, just want to clear up what I meant last night with my MLS comment! I was in no way saying the SPL was the best league in the world but the best team in the world plays in it! All I was trying to get at was you could maybe understand the guy leaving to go down south as he maybe feels he’s unfinished business but to want out again to go to the states where the standard is just as bad shows the guys all about the dollars!
11.) 27 Jan 2018 21:34:34
ED001,
So what you are saying is the English clubs take the young Scottish talent because they don't need a work permit? c'mon get real. If the quality was really all that great in the U. S. they would be grabbing them. There are enough work permits available for the right talent.
Is it also a coincident BigMarv that the SFA and SPL always get screwed with lucrative TV deals?
I personally think we are falling into a stereotype of being known for having crap football. I agree that not producing a quality national team contributes to that, but I personally think there are much better quality of players available than what our national team puts on the field. As far as co-efftient. you can't use that as a determinant for rating the quality of play internationally. Look who the US has to play against to qualify for the world cup? Absolute joke that thy can't qualify playing the teams they have to play. and they are still ranked higher than us.
What we need is to purge out the old timers from the SFA. Get some new blood in there that are pro Scotland not pro celtic. Start putting money back into marketing the Scottish game. Build a new generation of fan base and renegotiate the TV deals so our teams can make money again to be more competitive in Europe.
{Ed001's Note - can you read? Then you will see I didn't say that at all. I just pointed out that it is an unfair comparison. Typical of people like you, who misuse stats to try and make their point because they fail to understand, to twist words. The MLS is a growing league which is bringing back a lot of the top US talent, unlike the SPFL, which sheds its players at a huge rate of knots. So to suggest that the SPFL is a better league purely because its players move elsewhere is a misnomer. It is refusal to use context to understand that there is more to it than simply numbers.}
12.) 27 Jan 2018 22:55:54
Well said Ed! For starters skmg11, other than Bears1872 initial statement that the "MLS is murder" (that's when to use quotation marks if your interested) no one else in this thread had mentioned the MLS or any of its teams or players for that matter, so the premise for your first post was wrong from the outset.
You then misquoted me by saying "the rest of Europe" when I said "best leagues in Europe" which is quite a difference. Following that you question why Alves has failed to dominate the SPL, which is a very specific example of a 36 y/ old who has had 3 injuries in the last 6 months or so.
Furthermore you tell us the "one thing we need", you criticise Wilson as a player, and presume that Rangers didn't offer him a contract extension, and end by bringing up the Colorado weather. None of which had any relevance to the thread.
Moving on to your next post. The reasons we "get screwed for TV deals" is partly down to the poor quality of the product and lack of demand for it, and partly due to the incompetence of the SFA/ SPL boards. Again you misrepresent Snell who brought up the co-efficient in relation to league standing not the international side, which I mentioned and suggested you judge with your own eyes. I sincerely doubt the SFA is pro-Celtic but merely incompetent and I agree they should be "purged".
Keep Believing!
13.) 28 Jan 2018 13:00:46
OK So here we go.
Lets go in reverse.
1. I used the international ratings as an example for why co-efficents are unreliable on any level.
2. Did I know lay blame on the SFA/ SPL for the state of football in Scotland?
3. Let me give you an example of why we get viewed as inferior in the football world in some markets around the world.
Scottish Football is featured in the USA. on one of the top sports channels. On one specific weekend. They feature games like Hamilton vs Ross county. On the same weekend games like Rangers vs Hibs or Celtic vs Aberdeen is being played. So when I try to tell my friends in the US that they should watch Rangers this is the type poor quality games they get exposed to on their initial introduction to Scottish Football. These are the types of issues the SFA/ SPL should be aggressively trying to fix.
4. I strongly disagree with you and think the SFA has been run by pro celtic people for years. Only the SFA would impose such harsh penalties on one of its two iconic clubs as they did to us several years back. No other football association would have imposed penalties to such extremes.
Only the SFA would allow a club like celtic to feature a viewing of a film about our administration. Could you imagine the EPL, LA LIga, etc or in the US. MLB, NFL, MLS allowing that? You telling me the SFA couldn't advise the mob that its just not good business to do this? and hurts OUR game.
5. I was not quoting you when I talked about the rest of Europe but I was referring to several posts all at once.
I think the aggressiveness of the game is taking its tole on Alves 36 yr old body?
6. The weather comment was brought up as sarcasm, Meaning he not moving to Colorado for great weather.
This whole thread took a turn when someone drew comparisons of the MLS and SPL.
Good Luck Gentleman
14.) 28 Jan 2018 14:00:05
who do you intend to market the league too? outside the celtic game, average attendance for matches today was just under 7500. why would fans from a wider market choose to watch our product when there isn't even a demand locally. a sky package with bt sport gives fans options of england, spain, italy, germany, france, holland and more. you really think people will tune in to watch our product ahead of these? and that stations will pay a premium for a right to show it? the co-efficient point i made is relevant as a large part is based on our teams performance in continental competition. what results from scottish sides you think are being harshly judged stand out in europe for you over the last five years?
15.) 28 Jan 2018 16:21:42
OK skmg11 so here we go again. Why does it not surprise me that you decided to answer backwards.
1. As Snell points out the co-efficients to determine League standing are based on European club results. Since every team barring Celtic have failed at the first hurdle for many years that is reflected in our lowly position.
2. You did indeed lay blame on the SFA/ SPL for the state of Scottish football, to which I agreed with.
3. If you tell your friends that only games featuring either of the old firm are worth watching that only highlights the poor quality of the product.
4. You are so far from reality on this one I'm not sure where to begin, but contrary to your belief the SFA did not impose any penalties further than what were in the rules. In fact they did all they could to return us to the top flight but the SPL member clubs voted against it. Subsequently they tried to put us in the championship but the majority of SPFL member clubs voted against that. I strongly advise you take some deep breaths and research properly what went on back then without the massive chip on your shoulder. The one saving grace for you here is that this is so far down the page that very few people will actually read this, as you would be pounded from both sides of the divide. The SFA may well have advised against their obsessive feature film as being bad business, but there is no way they could have stopped it, and yes that would be the same in any other country and any other sporting franchise as it broke no rules whatsoever, and I'm quite sure you would have been queuing up for your ticket had the shoe been on the other foot.
6. I understood the Colorado weather comment, was just saying no one except yourself had any interest in the U. S. or it's football. Finally I will point out that nobody other than yourself drew comparisons between the MLS and SPL.
Bears1872 "the MLS is murder".
Jimbobgers "the SPL is murder too ".
In other words each one criticised each league neither said that one was better, worse, or equal to the other.
Hope you at least enjoyed the football. Not a great spectacle but an important 3 points all the same.
Sorry for the long post Ed. You must be getting sick of me😳
16.) 28 Jan 2018 16:57:55
Just realised I missed 1 out there, I do apologise.
5. Firstly you referred to jimbobgers who called the SPL "one of the worst leagues in Europe" which in your opinion was ignorant (pot, kettle, and black spring to mind) then you said "to say that the players in the rest of Europe get more time on the ball because they have a better touch is total nonsense". The only other person to mention Europe was bil72 who ironically suggested that "anyone coming from Europe can't live with the pace of our games" which is the point where I entered the thread taking issue with bil72s comment, so you were not referring to several posts but in fact did misquote me. Personally I would say that it was old Father Time that was taking its toll on Alves but that is a different discussion and in no way relevant to this one.
21 Jun 2015 18:55:53
Just read that reports in Denmark are linking us with Danish under 21 defensive midfielder Jens Jonsson! Supposedly Warburton is looking at him in Prague! Being liked with a move to hearts also!

See SSN is reporting that Barisic is having a medical! Excellent signing. He was the one that really stood out for them over the 2 legs and obviously scored the goal so would be delighted if we got him in. My concern is if we progress in Europe would he then be cup tied? Apart from that I think the defence is really shaping up. I am a little concerned about up top though and was wondering what fellow bears thought of the boy Hety for them? Thought he played well especially at Ibrox and must have something about him for him to have been on the books at Milan! Just an idea if he was up for a similar fee! Personally I don't think Lafferty is the right fit at the moment and if asked to play as a lone striker I think he would struggle. I believe we need someone with aerial threat especially now we might be getting another player who can deliver the ball from the left as well as Tav on the right!
1.) 06 Aug 2018 14:22:53
The cup tied rule is gone. would be available for next round.

I'd agree with u, if we win againstmaribor he can play next round.
7.) 06 Aug 2018 21:33:15
awesome signing. best left back in Scotland by far😉.
8.) 06 Aug 2018 21:42:50
I think a signing can play play off round but because he's played for a team in competition already he has to wait to group stages.
26 Jul 2018 08:54:30
Just an observation bears, but I'm still seeing people saying we'll be bringing in another striker on loan, Solanke, Defoe etc Correct me if I'm wrong here but I thought the maximum amount of loan signings a club could make in a single season was 4? Since we already have Ejaria, Kent, Coulibaly and Sadiq, is that not our whack?
Read also that Derby are close to signing Jack Marriot for an initial 3m. Anyone else think we have missed a trick here? Not seen much of the lad but from what I've heard he certainly know the way to goal and would of ripped it up in Scotland. I also really like the look of the boy we've been linked with from Willem 2! Look a cracking player and according to the internet is only valued at around 2.5m.
1.) 26 Jul 2018 09:06:39

From non Scottish clubs no limit, from a Scottish club no more than two from the same club.
19 Jul 2018 01:34:12
Listen, I will probably take pelters for this post but just my genuine opinion on Morelos. I agree with most bears that his performances over the 2nd half of last season and also the 2 European games have been woeful but I think ex managers have to take some of the heat for this as since he's been at the club we have turned him into something he's not, a lone striker. When he arrived and played alongside Miller I think he scored half his tally for last season by the end of October/ start of November when he had scored 9 goals in 8 games? He was still full of confidence from scoring goals in Finland and I think playing as a lone striker, in that team last season has his confidence shot to pieces! Nowadays he does nothing well and almost looks afraid when the ball comes to him anywhere near the goal which can't be said when he first arrived. Yes he missed but he was always back in there. Now he spends more time on the flanks than in front of goal and we are relying on very average midfielders to make runs past him to get us goals. I think it's a bit unfair to criticise him so much when he's being asked to do a job that he's not suited to. I would also back this up by saying that 90% of the posts I read on here during the Chinese speculation in January were that nobody thought he was worth less than 12m which suggests to me he was no bad to begin with? Apologies for War and Peace there folks but give the guy a chance. Maybe playing next to Sadiq will bring the goals back. Let's hope, let's go 🔴⚪ï¸ðŸ”µ.
1.) 19 Jul 2018 07:16:20
So if we had miller standing across from him in the old firm games and others he would have scored all they sitters,
2.) 19 Jul 2018 08:01:51
No that’s not what I’m saying at all chips. What I’m trying to point out is that over the course of last season he has been managed poorly, played outwith his natural position which is in the box and has lost the confidence and knack of scoring goals! He’s no Messi but neither was Boyd and look how many goals he scored but Walter Smith had the know how not to play Boyd in these games as he wasn’t suited to the lone striker role! Goal scorers thrive on scoring goals and when confidence is low they are as good as useless. I do believe he is a finisher, I just think we need to find him the right partner up front and take some of the pressure of him.
09 Jun 2018 10:03:08
With Villas cash flow problems I think we could do a lot worse than look at McCormack again. Still only 31 and think he'd score a barrel load up here. Wages may be an issue but he's maybe at an age where he's wanting back up the road so might be willing to take a pay cut to make it happen. Thoughts bears?

24 May 2018 09:22:03
Now that the Skrtel deal is apparently off I would take a punt on Berra! Wouldn't cost much and was easily the best CB in Scotland last season! He might not be a stellar signing but he would be a vast improvement on what we already have including Alves! He'll be on holiday till January after the World Cup 😂.
1.) 24 May 2018 09:44:08
Big bruno alves has played with much higher class teams than martin skrtel, with the exception of Liverpool! Alves has also accumulated much more international caps for a much higher ranked country in Portugal, than skrtel has with Slovakia! I'd keep alves as opposed to going for skrtel anyway!
2.) 24 May 2018 09:52:16
Totally agree. Alves can still do a great job, just need another good CH to compliment what he bring.
3.) 24 May 2018 10:24:14
Alves at this stage in his career does not have the fitness and physicality to play in Scotland for us. Don’t believe he will play any more than 12 games this season. Either one of the Souter boys together with a proven and experienced CH would be a start. Hopefully SG knows his man and is working on it.
4.) 24 May 2018 10:42:03
Alves doesn't have the physicality or fitness to play in Scotland but he is going to the world cup with Portugal. You must be having a laugh
5.) 24 May 2018 11:05:36
Albes going to World Cup as experienced back up, same role he has at Ibrox.
6.) 24 May 2018 12:25:55
Alves playing Central in a 3 man defence would be class.
It's apparent that we still have a squad more suited to a 3-5-2 than any other system.
Been saying this for over 2 years and finally Jimmy Nichol had the sense to play this system when we went 3 down to hibs.
7.) 24 May 2018 12:29:47
Alves will be gone, We need his wages to re invest into team. I still believe Windass, Fod and Tav will also be sold for a decent fee to also be re invested. I think Tav would be a loss.
07 Jun 2018 07:50:12
I would definitely bring him in even if to challenge Murphy and help Murphy kick on. I was impressed with him last season especially the 2-1 game at Easter road where he single handily rip us apart and hit the woodwork about 25 times. Think if it’s still on the table I would prefer Harry Wilson though
27 Jan 2018 20:22:13
Evening bears, just want to clear up what I meant last night with my MLS comment! I was in no way saying the SPL was the best league in the world but the best team in the world plays in it! All I was trying to get at was you could maybe understand the guy leaving to go down south as he maybe feels he’s unfinished business but to want out again to go to the states where the standard is just as bad shows the guys all about the dollars!
01 Jul 2015 21:31:17
Don't want to step on any toes here but let's be realistic gentlemen! The days of us attracting great players are gone! EPL or Champions League standard players will not be through the doors of Ibrox for a very long time! The money isn't there anymore for a start and let's be honest the lure of the Scottish championship isn't exactly appealing is it? Our only way forward is to bring in young talented players and bring them on! Warburton has set out his game plan and only time will tell if he gets it right or not but I wouldn't expect any big signings anytime soon!
24 Jun 2015 22:29:31
I don't get why a player who clearly wants to be at rangers would snub us?? I'm not saying he will end up playing for us next season but it won't be Scott Allan rejecting the move! Anyway, I don't get why everyone is going daft about him! Had one good season at utd, went down the road couldn't cut it at a club like WBA and then has one good season in a decent hibs side and he's a player we must sign? Yes he's a decent young player but I've also heard he's a bit of a problem of the park! Do we really need to be putting all our faith in him?

Totally agree with the comments above! He did score big goals for us at important times but he seemed to go missing during the playoff games most of all against Motherwell! He has a cracking left foot but I think he became a bit predictable and his lack of pace was obvious! Definitely better out there

No that’s not what I’m saying at all chips. What I’m trying to point out is that over the course of last season he has been managed poorly, played outwith his natural position which is in the box and has lost the confidence and knack of scoring goals! He’s no Messi but neither was Boyd and look how many goals he scored but Walter Smith had the know how not to play Boyd in these games as he wasn’t suited to the lone striker role! Goal scorers thrive on scoring goals and when confidence is low they are as good as useless. I do believe he is a finisher, I just think we need to find him the right partner up front and take some of the pressure of him.

Looking at the pics of the game it’s looks like we were wearing a new strip as different from blue/ black training gear and had sponsor on it too. Maybe 3rd kit?

I know he’s our new manager mate, but if the board really wanted to back Murts then he would have been given the job full stop and not a trial period until the end of the season. I really like him and hope he’s successful for us as I think he has done more for us in 20 odd games than Warburton and Pedro combined! I know he’s had a few ropey results but he carries himself with a bit of dignity and seems to understand what it takes to be at our club! Like I said I wish him all the best but I think the board will be looking at someone else come the summer and that’s why I will be very surprised if we shell out big money in this window
