Told by a friend who's involved at St Mirren that we are definitely in for Baccus. Didn't give specifics on whether it's definitely happening only that the boy has loads of options but we are in the running.

FruitBear

1.) 06 Jan 2023 18:23:20
would like baccus in mate, would be a good squad option for us.


2.) 06 Jan 2023 18:43:06
Thot beale said he was looking for players to improve the starting 11.


3.) 06 Jan 2023 19:04:21
The question I would ask does he enhance the 1st 11? I don’t know this answer.


4.) 06 Jan 2023 19:12:29
Humph I know what’s say, but manager says it’s first 11 starters he is bringing in, do u see Bacchus improve starting 11. I don’t know much about him.


5.) 06 Jan 2023 19:17:14
If Beale says he wants starters to improve the 11 not to fill the squad then shanklamd and Baccus surely not going to be signed think the jambos would want decent cash for him he’s good age in great form I’d say over 2 mill for a squad player can’t see it. Hope we go for a rw cm and cb would love raskin but don’t know if it happen.


6.) 06 Jan 2023 19:21:31
Agree Humph mate he would be a good option too have in our team i like him good player ?.


7.) 06 Jan 2023 19:35:36
no john not the starting 11 mate, or straight away anyways, think since coming to scotland he’s done a really good job, also done well for australia as well, but yeah what beale says about only improving starting 11 i don’t think he walks into our team!


8.) 06 Jan 2023 20:17:47
I haven’t seen enough from Baccus to know what type of midfield player he is never mind if he gets in the starting 11. Listening to Beale today I’d say midfield is surely a priority. Davis out for the season and Lundstram, Jack and Kamara all managing injuries. Arfield also at an age where he won’t start every game. We need some midfielders with a bit of legs, energy and drive.


9.) 06 Jan 2023 21:05:21
yeah fruit bear i agree, that’s why i think baccus could be an option as i would say we’re limited in that area he wouldn’t be a bad signing in my opinion mate!


10.) 06 Jan 2023 22:25:26
Bacchus quite combative, but can play as well. Thought he was terrific at world cup for Australia.


11.) 07 Jan 2023 01:45:04
He's a decent player baccus but still think he's a class below what we need and he won't get the game time enough to develope into a better player at rangers however if it's as a reacement for sands could be one to consider.

Sands has the ability just don't think he has the mental toughness.


12.) 07 Jan 2023 02:14:07
Saying that if it's a choice between baccus and raskin I'll take baccus.


 

 

27 Aug 2022 20:19:46
Was a bit of chat from some guys at the game today that we might be in for Connor Gallagher on loan from Chelsea. Personally can't see it as I'd imagine he is moving on loan to try and keep his place in the England squad for the World Cup and doubt he would get selected if he's on loan to a Scottish team. Anyone else heard this? Generally I wouldn't post some talk I've heard at the game but it's a left field rumour and I've had a few so why not ?.

FruitBear

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold yor breath.}


1.) 27 Aug 2022 21:31:05
He's been in every Chelsea squad so far, dontbthink they would let him out on loan if I'm honest.


2.) 27 Aug 2022 21:48:37
Red carded in todays game against Leicester.


3.) 28 Aug 2022 05:24:52
Conor Gallagher ????FFS who comes up with this rubbish I swear some of our supporters are space cadets.


4.) 28 Aug 2022 07:31:04
go for it’s a rumour site. why do u need to be offensive.


5.) 28 Aug 2022 08:45:38
There are rumours John and then there are ridiculous statements like "we might be in for Connor Gallacher on loan".

Geez peace.


6.) 28 Aug 2022 09:13:58
John is correct when stating this is a rumours site, but I think what Goforbig was getting at, was the absurdity of some of the rumours that get posted on here. Even If it did come across as pretty blunt! ?? Let's be honest, when posters start putting up rumours like this one, or Suaraz, Ronaldo etc, then it kind of makes them a target for ridicule. I love reading some of the rumours that get posted, and I know you are always willing to put up what you have heard, John, but sometimes you wonder what is going through people's minds with some of the names that get thrown about. However, in saying that, and playing Devils Advocate here, who would have thought we could have ever signed Ramsey on loan? Even If it was a disaster. ?.


7.) 28 Aug 2022 09:14:56
To be fair a lot of people would of said the same about the Ramsey deal and that happened mcalpine, with ramseys wage people where mocking people for saying it.


8.) 28 Aug 2022 10:02:44
Well some believe we were going to sign CR7 I would say there is more chance of Connor tho both ain’t happening.


9.) 28 Aug 2022 10:47:21
I agree with John, its a rumours site people could of said the same about Ramsay, or even Dialo a 36m player, so no need to be offensive as peope are only posting what the hear.


10.) 28 Aug 2022 10:56:06
Like that mental rumour last season like were taking aaron ramsey on loan whos at juve on 400k a week? Aye connor gallacher is ridiculous.


11.) 28 Aug 2022 11:02:07
Storm, have faith!

Ronaldo deal all agreed in principle, fee, wages etc. Only two sticking points that he wants in the contract

1 He won't play in a stadium with less than 40000 fans
2 He won't play is the temperature drops below 18C.


12.) 28 Aug 2022 11:26:59
M alpine what about Ramsey that everyone rubbishd, scroll by if u don’t like them

M alpine someone new that is on to rubbish others.


13.) 28 Aug 2022 19:53:46
Connor Gallagher Is a young England international valued at around £30M. who played almost a full season at Palace and showed that he is EPL class and got international honours because of his performances. It can’t be compared to Ramsey situation lol.


14.) 29 Aug 2022 14:33:52
Your right John . sorry guys my bad.

Hearing we are trying to strike a deal for Nisbet. Cash plus Barker being offered.

FruitBear

1.) 31 Aug 2021 20:40:22
Can't see it mate. They want 5m.


2.) 31 Aug 2021 20:43:44
Would be well happy with that.


3.) 31 Aug 2021 20:47:47
Absolute nonsense.


4.) 31 Aug 2021 20:48:27
Definitely think something could happen to fill in for itten.


5.) 31 Aug 2021 20:49:41
If Hibs were to take Barker in part exchange then it would knock around 30 quid off the asking price.


6.) 31 Aug 2021 20:50:38
Fingers crossed.


7.) 31 Aug 2021 21:01:56
Nonsense rangers not signing anyone cause they never made the CL.


8.) 31 Aug 2021 21:04:25
Can’t see it happening.


9.) 31 Aug 2021 21:11:54
Yes i'm hearing this story about kevin nisbet possibly coming to us but i seriously doubt at, as hibs quoted swansea £5million for nisbet this afternoon and they won't budge on that fee! We won't/ can't pay that 😞 John25,have you heard anything of us having any interest in signing kevin nisbet before the window closes tonight mate 🤔.


10.) 31 Aug 2021 21:33:44
Typical rangers nothing to excite us with.


11.) 31 Aug 2021 21:44:49
Fruit bear u saw that on that youtube channel can mind whos channel it is but its 3 gers fans on it n they said hibs want 5mill but the gers fans laughed n said either 2mill or 3mill and throw in barker n they all laughed that's were this story started.


12.) 31 Aug 2021 21:46:49
We couldn't give Barker away in a lucky bag just now.


13.) 31 Aug 2021 21:47:51
Tbh I don’t see Hibs selling him to us now so late in the day. They won’t have the time to replace him. Only passing on what I heard that a bid offered.

Three cheers, proper laughed at that comment mate lol.


14.) 31 Aug 2021 21:59:33
DSGERS I heard it from someone who’s normally pretty good with info. Only passing on what I heard. Not saying I think it will happen, my initial reaction to him when he told me was ‘no chance we are paying that kind of money’ but he says there’s some mileage in the interest from Rangers.


15.) 31 Aug 2021 21:59:47
As i said earlier how did we not sign this young man from Dunfermline for a few hundred grand. You buy him and loan him to league above then review. Incredible that Celtic have over fed themselves with transfer fees and we are eating out the bins. Someone is not doing their job if we need to sell players.


16.) 31 Aug 2021 22:02:09
Think we need someone in cz it only takes a suspension n an injury then we are short up top. hopefule atleast 1 could be brought in.


17.) 31 Aug 2021 22:17:29
Jking because he was deemed nowhere near good enough for us back then, simple really mate.


18.) 31 Aug 2021 22:22:31
Not worried about team. Worried about how we are getting run and operated. Every team sells players but we seem to give them away. Trust Gerrard and staff just not anyone above. Act like a big club Rangers.


19.) 31 Aug 2021 22:38:39
Jking what is the point of saying why didn’t we sign him back then We didn’t do it’s a pointless statement to make.


20.) 31 Aug 2021 22:43:15
Don’t know how you can worried about how we are getting run? The guys running the club are putting money out their own pockets to make sure we don’t need to flog our stars on the cheap. Bids rebuffed for Morelos, Kent, Patterson. All because they didn’t meet our valuation. Yes, Rangers have stated we want to implement a strategy to develop and then sell players to generate income, but only if the valuations are met. If they are not met, they won’t be sold on the cheap.

Said it yesterday if we don’t bring anyone in but keep hold of all our best players then that’s a win for us and a big statement from the board for covering the money lost from failing to get into champs league.


21.) 31 Aug 2021 23:01:47
We (Rangers) won’t sign anyone this window. Been a spectator of the page for a while and I know it’s based on rumours and the occasional BS lol. But I like it lol it keeps me entertained along with others lol 56 here we come.


22.) 31 Aug 2021 23:32:39
I see McCann rumoured to be signing for Preston for £1m That would have been a worthwhile punt for us. Good young player.


23.) 01 Sep 2021 06:38:13
BB just shy of 2 million for the kid.


24.) 01 Sep 2021 09:04:29
One million for mcannn. We were allegedly being quoted in excess 3 million
There was no move for Nisbet.
A very good window imo. Barisic Paterson staying
Morelos kent Kelly staying

Still need to move Barker next week or two.


 

 

02 Nov 2020 09:40:16
Hearing that a couple of our first team players been issued with C.V. fines while at a house party last night. No names given, only passing on what I've been told by a Rangers supporter with some knowledge of the incident. Hoping it's not the case, stupidity from those involved if true.

FruitBear

1.) 02 Nov 2020 11:35:45
Heard Jones is one of them that's him out the club for good too many chances.


2.) 02 Nov 2020 11:42:06
Heard it’s Jordan Jones and big Edmundson.


3.) 02 Nov 2020 11:49:13
Two of them should be dismissed. We can’t have anything disrupt our club this year. If it’s grounds for sacking then they should go. Make an example of them.


4.) 02 Nov 2020 12:20:22
Get where you’re coming from c of Ibrox but we can’t just dismiss a couple million quid. Maybe jones can go by mutual consent in January but Edmundson is worth what £2m? Can’t sack 1 without the other and can’t sign a replacement for Edmundson TIL January so perhaps he will survive it with jones moving on in jan for nominal fee or a free. Get you’re point though mate 👍🏻.


5.) 02 Nov 2020 12:36:41
I gerrard sell them in January get some money in.


6.) 02 Nov 2020 13:45:36
Pity mate the fridge had a lot of potential I really liked look of him also backed up the “rangers fan as a kid” Patter with hard evidence of photographs. Really could’ve been a good player for us in the next couple of seasons. His problem now is how strong we are in defence with the 4 atm plus Katic to come back then young mayo and king behind them. It’s not going to be easy for him to come back from this.

Bhardwaj has reported that Miller is resigning on a deal to end of the season. Deary me Rangers, we must be rooked.

OMG read things properly before you post, there is no way Miller will be back, we ll put Mebude in before that.


4.) 30 Jan 2020 11:29:42
I would like to see Grant Murray from Brighton on loan.


5.) 30 Jan 2020 11:44:02
Couily I’ll try and read things properly from now on lol! No as bad as some of the rubbish folk blatantly make up, Foden, Lallana, Abraham lol.


6.) 30 Jan 2020 12:59:43
Agreed that not reading something properly is no where near as bad as ridiculous posts, our driver to the game last night suggested we get. wait for it. Jamie Vardy on loan but thinks the only problem is Brendan would nt let him come! I thought he was joking but he kept on saying it. had to ridicule him repeatedly until he stopped saying it.


7.) 30 Jan 2020 13:22:03
Rhodes can't play up front on his own so he wo 't fit the system. Don't be surprised if a bid goes in for Naismith or Cosgrove.


8.) 30 Jan 2020 13:40:57
Hagi the son of the legend currently at Genk will come in, seen as a creative player. Plus contacted 2 forwards about the possibility of short term deal or loan.


9.) 30 Jan 2020 14:02:22
We should go for Will Grigg not wanted at Sunderland no more.


10.) 30 Jan 2020 14:04:03
We should go for Will Grigg not wanted at sunderland.


11.) 30 Jan 2020 14:24:27
I will be surprised thank you.


12.) 30 Jan 2020 18:15:58
Why would we sign a player from league 1 that can't gets game for his club. Will Grigg has a good song and that's all.


13.) 30 Jan 2020 20:19:38
Why don’t we just bite the bullet and sign Edward for the 3 million the smellies want? Ok he wouldn’t get a game as he would be third choice but it’s a good back up . and I am sure he loves the Gers.

See the Daily Rebel are trying hard to slate Rangers claims on the VAR discussion with the SFA.

Headline 'SFA STRONGLY DISPUTE RANGERS VERSION OF VAR AUDIO DISCUSSION'

Reads the article

"Whilst the SFA have chosen to make no comment in response to Rangers claims, Record Sport is led to believe they strongly disagree with Rangers version of events"

In other words. This headline is a load of single fish ???.

FruitBear

1.) 04 Jan 2024 11:14:57
You would think the SFA would make a statement on the matter. Their silence is deafening.

The whole paper is a load of single fish.


 

 

01 Jan 2024 18:09:44
Encouraged by the players we are reportedly enquiring about, but enquiring and agreeing a deal are 2 completely different things. Guys like Denkey, Doig, Manhoef are exactly the type of player we should be going after but I just can't see us spending the money required to get them in now. Unless we can shift some players out to generate funds but how much could we realistically raise from the guys we want shot of? I'd doubt it would be enough to sign any of those 3. Maybe have the funds to get Manhoef but the other 2 are touted for north of £5m.

We will end up being priced out of a striker like Denkey, Shankland or Miovski and at the last minute give short term deals for loans or cheaper options like Morelos and Van Veen lol. Can see it already ?.

FruitBear

1.) 01 Jan 2024 19:24:01
@FriutBear. We have money to spend on three players. Or two loans and two more expensive players mate.


2.) 01 Jan 2024 19:39:36
Excellent info white horse.


3.) 01 jan 2024 19:48:24
what is this obsession with funds, rangers are very healthy, we will spend much more than one or two players, maybe not in jan, but funds are not an issue.


4.) 01 Jan 2024 20:00:42
Am sorry but acting like Shankland and the guy from Aberdeen are miles ahead of van veen and Morelos is funny they are of a similar calibre.


5.) 01 jan 2024 20:13:32
there is no limit horsey, what the manager wants he will get, he knows the boundaries, there's absolutely nothing that says “ two loans and two signings, or anything resembling that, he was given assurances the board will back him in january, and again in summer, no lists or restrictions, , no sorry, that's ridiculous, if the gaffer wants to go fir a player, the club will support as best they can,


6.) 01 Jan 2024 20:51:34
Fruitbear I can't see PC joining us if that was the type of budget he'd have to spend.


7.) 01 Jan 2024 21:07:24
TT. That reassurance will kick in this summer and not in a very awkward window. Which PC is also well aware of mate.


8.) 01 Jan 2024 21:10:30
@TT. On top of that, we already have one in the door. I will put my house on there not being six signings this window.


9.) 01 Jan 2024 22:52:03
Jan is not a time for an overhaul. It’s the beginning of a plan and we have no room for error, each signing has to be part of the jigsaw. Hopefully we shift a few out this window.


10.) 02 jan 2024 00:07:16
who said six signings mate, you gave a ridiculous post about this, or that

he will be backed, not given 5 different options, and he will know he needs to change some things now, or lose, that's the bottom line,

he has a great chance to win this title now, he will know that.


 

 

31 Dec 2023 21:34:35
Im seeing a lot of outrage on social media about why we didn't get a penalty yesterday, do people actually think we were wronged out of a penalty?

Am I missing something? my take on it is this,

I get that Collum has made a howler and it looks like he's got out of jail due to Sima being offside. But had he correctly judged the handball as a penalty and referred Walsh to the monitor, they would then have checked the build up and seen the offside, which would then mean NO penalty.

I understand Rangers wanting to hear the audio as it will no doubt highlight the incompetence of Collum (if indeed the audio proves there was no mention of an offside at the time), but I don't understand a section of our fan base feeling we were robbed of a penalty. It simply isn't the issue here.

The issue is Collums incompetence and the fact they've maybe then tried to cover his mistake once they discovered it was offside roughly 30 mins later by saying "oh we are just being told that the penalty wasn't given due to an offside" which was completely false. Collum never gave the penalty because he's either incompetent or a cheat and he's got out of jail because there happened to be an offside in the build up.

FruitBear

1.) 31 Dec 2023 23:25:33
Absolutely 100% Fruity.


2.) 31 dec 2023 23:34:16
only thing puzzling ne is all 4 peopl in studio, two commentating, and apparently mike dean, all said penalty

not one mentioned offside, nor did the commentary,


3.) 31 Dec 2023 23:41:53
No offside Celtic player touched the ball first.


4.) 01 Jan 2024 00:10:49
I think that's the issue fruit bear rangers want to know what was said on the audio as saying offside 40 mins later reeks of a cover up of collums mistake as offside was never mentioned in the whole process.


5.) 01 Jan 2024 00:51:02
The keeper played a bye kick so no offside was given. they weren't giving a penalty at the piggery. the ref had a clear view of the handball he knew what happened and wasn't giving it simple. As far as offside goes fine that would have meant there was no penalty but that's not the point they shat ther pants to give a pen. I was more aggrieved at McGregor ten fouls before he was booked and they other two could have seen red. No excuses sima has had a nightmare at the first goal and dessers and mcausland have fluffed great chances. We move on we weren't good enough on the day but just hope we have different set of officials and no Tim fans at Ibrox next time.


6.) 01 Jan 2024 01:04:03
It's even dubious that it was offside as apoarently they used a still after the ball had left Lundstram's foot. Rolling the Film back Sima could well have been onside.


7.) 01 Jan 2024 02:12:03
The SFA is corrupt. Still in Celtic's Pocket!


8.) 01 Jan 2024 08:37:30
Forget about the offside for a minute that would have been checked if the penalty was given. The biggest issue is Collum not giving the penalty when he has reviewed it, was bad enough that Walsh missed it but how could Collum not give that? Pretty sure at the time the info on the screen for the VAR review was checking potential handball if that is the case why is not given.


9.) 01 Jan 2024 09:17:28
Plus the 2 red cards. Which would have changed the game massively.


10.) 01 Jan 2024 09:45:27
Nope you ain’t missing anything if they have the pen they would have then checked offside and it wouldn’t have been given. Collum didn’t think it was a pen that’s why it was original decision from ref that stood as var can’t say it was atleast a corner.


11.) 01 Jan 2024 11:04:04
As much as it was a joke not giving the penalty, if he had given it, it would have been overturned for the offside, outrage at how it came about, but we wouldn't have got it anyways.

2 or 3 sigingns and see how 2nd half of the season goes, the penalty did not affect the game, we would never get it in any rules of the law - move on.


 

 

30 Dec 2023 15:27:54
Today was always going to be tough, given the amount of injuries and who we had available.

Clement has done really well so far based on what he's had to work with but today they weren't good enough.

Managers game plan was working in terms of press but when we got the ball we lacked quality. 3 or 4 times 1st half we got into great positions but picked the wrong option or lacked the composure to finish. They get 2 half chances (and tbh I'd say it's generous to even call Kyogos a half chance) and they score. Dessers had 3 great opportunities to get himself a goal and didn't even test Hart once. That's the difference.

One thing is clear to me that if our manager can do what he has so far with some of these guys then if he gets his recruitment right, we will do just fine with him at the helm. Need to get players back from injury and do good business in January and it's all to play for.

Not long back from Hampden. Soaked to the skin but totally worth it. The quality wasn't great today, hard shift on Thursday and the conditions at Hampden playing a part in that. What they did do today was put a graft in, fought for everything and got the deserved win.

Watched Sima sitting on his backside at the end of the game in Seville with what appeared to be a touch of cramp, then today (3 days later) he's sprinting back in the last minute to make a crucial tackle and then win a foul to get us up the park. That's the kind of effort you want to see.

Big Phil's got a lot to do still, but what he's done so far in such a short space of time is pretty much flawless. Our season looked doomed at the end of Beale but a few months later we have renewed optimism. Exciting times ahead.

Great to see the boss joining in the celebrations at the end. There seems to be a real sense of unity in the squad now. We're going to need it for the rest of the season as it will be tough. So far so good though.


4.) 18 Dec 2023 06:46:06
Fruitbear most teams that win the league sometimes do it with flair but they also know how to win ugly.
I think our team has shown the grot and determination. When Aberdeen play like that to try kill the game it is nigh impossible to play quick flowing football. If we can't beat them on our terms we beat them on theirs and this team can have a great season showing that grit and determination.

I don’t doubt or have an issue with clement wanting the injury prone players away from us, but I doubt he’s telling them that early January.

The chances are between now and the summer you will need them at some point and by telling them now that they will be away, there's a risk they will down tools. He’s not going to tell Roofe for example that he has no future at the club then ask him to come off the bench and rescue a game for us with a goal.

Based on the current market and the options in our squad, it looks very much like PC is stuck with the majority of what he’s got until the summer. He won’t want to upset anyone within in, he’ll need to utilise them all until he can make changes.

I doubt we will move on Dessers this window. That would leave us with zero strikers. You may not like or rate Dessers but we will need him between now and July, even if we do sign another striker in January.

I backed Slade Steel, Gaelic Warrior, Trelawne, State Man and Corbetts Cross on my acca. Trelawne has ruined my life today ??.

Agree a European trophy is more prestigious than the SPFL but wouldn’t draw the champions league qualification into it. If I was solely judging it on that I’d rather we won the league, purely because it stops the other mob then getting direct entry. If we could get entry direct into champs league and stop them getting into it at the same time I’d say that was better than if we get champs league off the back of winning Europa and they win the league.

For arguments sake, say we win the Europa and get into champs league and they win the league, the gap financially is much the same, minus the extras gained form Europa run. However if we could get into champs league by winning the league and then they miss out, we are straight away closing the financial gap between us. Longterm that’s what we need to do. The odd amazing run in Europa won’t help us longterm unless we win domestically and stop them picking up cheques every year for walking into champs league group stage off the back of our good work towards the coefficient. as has been proved in 2022 when we made the final, still managed to qualify for champs league the following year and still didn’t really improve on the financial gap between us and them.

But as I said, I’d rank a European trophy way above the SPFL. Taking money out of it, it’s an easy choice to know what’s bigger.

I said on Saturday I could sense a shift from the home fans. It’s almost like we trust them to get the result now so moans and groans have decreased and it’s been replaced with healthy encouragement and some much needed patient. Was like a European game last night. Hope we can sustain that for all the games now at home.

MacAusland worked his socks off and was kept on because he offers better cover and also can take the ball and build play well when we have lots of possession, granted he lost it a few times but he went straight after it to try and win it back. Thought it was quite a clever sub taking off matondo instead as the game was becoming more tight the deeper Aberdeen got, which meant our play had to be patient and we passed through them rather than a more direct attack which suits matondo. Matondos pace was a threat early on but as he tired and Aberdeen got so deep 2nd half he had no space to work into.

Ross MacAusland was terrific today.
