Looks like the scan is for Mcgregor’s knee not Barasic. Borna trained yesterday so should be fit for Saturday. Bad news on Aribo though ☹ï¸.
1.) 11 Sep 2020 12:23:49
A think we still need 3/ 4 players to compete in all competitions.
2.) 11 Sep 2020 13:33:05
Sign Olson and Lundstram and I think we are solid. Maybe another striker IF Morelos goes.
3.) 11 Sep 2020 13:39:45
Still time 4 few sales an buys.
4.) 11 Sep 2020 13:52:15
Seasons not long started and already we seeing injuries. Too many.
5.) 11 Sep 2020 13:57:24
Another 4 to 6 weeks for aribo? he's already been out 3 weeks. might be fairly bad. Gerrard say pre international break that he would be back fit.
6.) 11 Sep 2020 14:36:17
3 or 4? Not judging you mate but can you elaborate on that for me.
7.) 11 Sep 2020 14:55:59
Mate we need 2 at most, 3 if morelos leaves. Too many players disrupts the harmony.
8.) 11 Sep 2020 16:49:56
Aribo got an ankle knock in training or he would have been fit. SG says it has set him back 4 to 6 weeks but the big plus point is it doesn't require surgery.
9.) 11 Sep 2020 20:03:24
Cant wait to see Rossiter in action in 7 to 10 days.
10.) 11 Sep 2020 20:52:20
Concerned about McGregor’s fitness and availability this season even from the bench, unfortunately his powers are declining.
11.) 12 Sep 2020 10:31:34
Bankie, he is riddled with arthritis and joint problems. Don’t know if u saw him talking before st Johnstone game when he said he was struggling to recover from many minor knocks and strains.
That set off alarm bells for me, I wish him all the best but at this stage I see McLaughlin as number one I really pray nothing happens with him as I have very little confidence in Firth.
12.) 12 Sep 2020 19:09:01
John25, yes I saw interview and also share your opinion on Firth. Thankfully McLaughlin looks the part and will be available to play throughput the season. If McGregor can’t prove his fitness over next 3 weeks I expect another keeper to be signed as cover.
13.) 13 Sep 2020 09:11:43
I have less than 0 confidence in Firth, he's an emergency GK to let McCrorie develop in my opinion.

Seen a lot on here in the last few days debating whether Ryan Kent is a good / bad player for us so thought I’d throw in my tupence worth. First off I’d like to state that I’ve nothing overly against Kent (or for him for that matter) . In general he’s a decent enough player. I feel his strengths are his pace and his ability in one on one situations and he can show up well in the big European games when he’s given more space. However his weaknesses are still his shooting, generally his final ball, and that fact that he isn’t the best at tracking back and I don’t think I’ve ever really seen him make a tackle. The fact that Barasic isn’t the strongest defender therefore usually leaves us pretty exposed down the left. When you factor in that we spent around £7m on him (and look like we may not get much if any of that back) then you do have to question the value for money. Especially when you unfortunately look at the other side of Glasgow. In Jota they have a player that has followed pretty much the same path. A season loan followed up by a £7m move. Compare both their stats. Kent - total of 174 games, 31 goals and 30 assists. Not terrible but considering our league should probably be more. Jota - total 50 games, 17 goals and 17 assists. If he keeps that rate up then by the time he reaches 174 games it will be around 60 goals and 60 assists! Double the numbers Kent has and to be fair, the kind of figures you’d be hoping for from a £7m attacker playing for either Rangers or Celtic. So in summary, Kent definitely has ability and can perform in flashes, but also definitely isn’t consistent enough and unfortunately definitely hasn’t been worth the money we paid.
1.) 04 Oct 2022 14:38:01
Honest assessment and opinion, Gers1978.
Now stand back, incoming in 5,4,3,2,1?.
2.) 04 Oct 2022 14:49:58
Kenty is the most skillfull player at ibrox
Always supported him and always will.
3.) 04 Oct 2022 15:07:43
Totally agree with gers1978.Big stage for Kent tonight --lets see what he offers . he wants a move but whether it's the epl or the championship are decided with games at this level. same goes for all the other younger players who crave the big stage .
4.) 04 Oct 2022 15:08:34
I don't think extrapolating statistics makes a fair comparison. Who knows (or cares) what Jota might do in the future. I'm no great fan of Kent but you have to compare apples with apples.
5.) 04 Oct 2022 15:17:33
Good post Gers1978, I know which club got the better deal, Kent isn't fit to lace Jota's boots, Kent I believe including bonuses is earning about 60k a week, a complete waste of money imo, including wages, bonuses and the transfer fee he's cost us a fortune, all that money paid and yet Saturday was his first goal in the spl in 2022, yet there's certain posters on here creaming their pants about him, you couldn't make it up.
6.) 04 Oct 2022 15:35:11
INTR. I’m not saying he isn’t. Unfortunately though it’s not all about being skilful (not when you’ve paid £7m which is the most we’ve paid for any player in decades) . Take someone like Paddy McCourt. For all intents and purpose a pretty useless player. However it was well reported at the time that he was probably the ‘most skilful’ player the other mob had. Basically a phenomenal 5 aside player but couldn’t play professional football very well. Now I’m not putting Kent in that bracket, just saying ‘skill’ isn’t everything. If we look at 2 players we’ve had in the past who both played in the ‘left of a front 3’ position. Peter Lovenkrands - bought for 1.3m, 37 goals in 129 games. Shota Arveladze (I know he could play through the middle but most of the time played off the left) - bought for £3m 44goals in 95 games. No doubt neither were as skilful however arguably both have a better return and we’re better value for what we paid.
7.) 04 Oct 2022 15:54:53
Kent isn’t getting 60k a week no rangers player is the nonsense on this site is crazy at times.
8.) 04 Oct 2022 16:13:46
60k a week? Please tell me silly times have not returned to the club?. that's crazy. i'm lost for words.
9.) 04 Oct 2022 16:24:55
60 k a week ha what a ridiculous comment .
I think Kent is well worth it and we wouldn’t have had a sniff of Europa final without him.
10.) 04 Oct 2022 16:35:26
He wants 60k a week . hence no contract renewal. worth maybe 15k plus bonuses for scoring . so 15k it is . although his creamer was a beauty on saturday. did that every week he would get his move. starting tonight.
11.) 04 Oct 2022 16:54:41
There better out there for cash paid and wages 100%, The most frustrating player I’ve ever watched at rangers he has all the ability in the world just doesn’t do enough for me!
12.) 04 Oct 2022 16:59:58
Mols he should have won us the EL final in the 118th minute.
13.) 04 Oct 2022 17:05:37
Loved Shota❤️. Guy was brilliant.
14.) 04 Oct 2022 18:10:50
Agree Iking, I don't think Kent comes close to Shota.
15.) 04 Oct 2022 20:53:45
Another fake story like goldson wanting 40
or he was leaving.
21 Sep 2022 17:41:58
Although his original post (further down this page) led to some quite amusing follow ups, Mark44 actually touched on a significant point. Celtic made a £6m profit last year and apparently have £30m in the bank. £30m sounds a lot, but let’s consider that in the context of where we are (especially with what Bennett and Robinson have been saying in the last few days) . Since 2012 Celtic have been continuously winning leagues, qualifying for Europe and had a successful player trading model (making big bucks on selling players way back since Wanyama, Van Dyke, Tierney, Dembele, even Stuart Armstrong and others) . That’s 10 years of basically raking in the cash. In the same period we’ve had 9 years of continuously loosing money and requiring soft loans to get by and only 1 year (the last one) of turning a profit based on an amazing European run, finally starting to see a proper player trading model working and qualifying for champs league (although we won’t see a lot of that money until maybe next year and beyond. No one turns up at Ibrox with a giant comedy cheque every time we sell a player or qualify in Europe, the payments take time to come through) . My point is, whilst they have had it all their own way and financially been extremely successful, they only have £30m sitting available to spend (and of course it’d be madness to go out and spend all of that on players) . Why then would we think that after one good year we should have all this extra cash floating about? Everyone loves to look at the figures quoted for the players we sell and qualifying in Europe and just think ‘great we now have £X amount to spend on players! ’ But business are expensive to run i'm afraid, especially football clubs. Now before anyone says it, I’m not ‘sticking up for the board’, there are a lot of things I wish they did better. I’m just trying to be a realist and understand that there isn’t all this cash just floating about or as some folk say ‘lining the board members pockets’. Of course I would of loved to see a couple of £5/ £6m signings turn up on deadline day, however I’ll love even more to never again go through what we all went through back in 2012. Personally I still think the club is heading in the right direction. We may not be exactly where we want to be just yet, we may still be playing catch up slightly and we may still have to be a bit patient (which I know is hard), but overall I still think the last few years have been more positive and definitely steps in the right direction.

Gers 1978 undoubtedly one off the very best posts I have ever read on here. Well done that man.
2.) 21 Sep 2022 19:26:51
Spot on and as Robertson said we budgeted for minimum group stages of EL so the uplift in getting to CL is fairly small. Stability has to be key to our finances.

Good post?.
Defo could not take another 2012. Felt ill for months. Step by step we are getting there. Look where we have come from. They tried to bury us and we came back to KO the lot of them.
An old friend sat me down and said what is your 5 and 10 year plan? I was 20 and laughed. At 42 i now know and ask the question myself. Being secure financially is a prized position to be in. Our great club is doing the same. Protecting the future.
2012 will and cannot happen again.
Im one proud GER.
❤️??.

8.) 21 Sep 2022 20:44:56
Gers78 very true and accurate post and well thought out and written
all I absolutely agree with when you take a step back
But in the heat of the moment we all like a complaint when things don’t go our way and when players don’t play to there true potential and especially when we think we’re falling behind our biggest rivals and those texts and calls start coming through from the ones you know from the dark side and your blood starts to boil
I’m sure you know the calls and texts etc I’m talking about
So we come one here to let off steam and perhaps we do at times go over board which can be easily done doesn’t mean we don’t support or back the team no matter how it comes across
Some are more expressive than others and some don’t like to hold back and that’s why this site is so good ???.
9.) 21 Sep 2022 21:51:47
Well said Gers. I've not posted on the recent unravelling of some posters on here and sorry folks but that's what its been.
We used to laugh at the other shower for unravelling at the least wee thing.
The results/ performances of the last few weeks have hurt, yes, but let's maintain our level-headedness and leave the hysterics to them!
I don't know if i'm alone in this but I've cringed a bit over our directors coming out and discussing our finances over the last few days but its been in response to the madness that has engulfed us over the last few weeks. we've gone from Gio is now a sh! t manager from a genius to the board are pocketing cash to a takeover. geezo.
Chill out, no orizes are awarded in sept. The time to judge finances is year end accts. The time to judge a team's success is season end.
10.) 22 Sep 2022 07:59:51
Excellent post mate.
11.) 22 Sep 2022 08:36:06
I know stig, we all love our club and we all get frustrated when things go wrong and results are bad and that will never change and nor it should, if we just always accepted poor results and performances then we would never improve or move forward. I just wanted to put some perspective on things. The journey we’ve had as a club in the last 10 years has been massive and unprecedented but unfortunately there is still a way to go, financially anyway. Doesn’t mean though that we can’t compete and still win trophies. The players we have just now are good enough to do so and have proved it already. They just need to make sure they keep applying themselves properly! I just feel that for a lot of the fan base to all of a sudden turn on the board after a couple of all be it very poor results, is a bit off.
12.) 22 Sep 2022 09:11:59
Superb sensible and advised post. Too many fans think running rangers is like playing fifa. To pay for the stadium upgrades, new developments, disabled upgrades, building top class youth setup etc all takes millions. I said previously it's not the end of my world if we get beat of celtic, and we are punching in the champions league so expect a few beatings. Overall I like where we are now to even 5 or 6 years ago.
13.) 22 Sep 2022 13:32:09
A realistic and optimistic post at the same time and so well done for that. We have made some needless blunders along the way mind-you; appointing Pedro would be the principal one and I am not convinced the board do not have another blunder up their sleeve for us.
12 Sep 2022 10:19:50
There’s been a lot wrote on here in the last week or so regarding ‘board meetings’ to decide the managers future, suggestions of who may be the new manager (Scott Parker, Ole Gunnar Solksjer etc) Gio leaving to take up a post with the Dutch FA, fallouts between Gio and Tav or the rest of the team, Far East takeovers and so on. Here’s my take on it all. I don’t think any there is any truth in any of that or any of the other rumours going about. I don’t think the board would sack the manager and all the back room staff YET, costing millions, only a few weeks into the season, no matter how bad the last 2 results have been. I say yet, because if this continues for a few more weeks then you never know, but right now I doubt they’d sack a manager that took us to a euro final and qualified for the champs league, even after the disaster that was the last week. I also don’t think Gio is planning on leaving, he was still building his back room team just a week or two ago. Tav was injured, that’s why he came off, you could see he was struggling at Ajax’s 3rd goal (probably shouldn’t of played, could blame both the player and manager for that) . To me the last week has come about because of a combination of a number of things. 7 first team players being injured (probably 3 or 4 of which would be starting) . Morelos and Kent way off form, is that down to the contract situation and agents messing with their heads? Possibly. But that now means we are 5 or 6 starting players basically missing. Did the board mess up not allowing another couple of players to be signed at the end of the window? Probably but no one knows the real reason why that was (the lack of info coming out of Ibrox is another matter) . Resigning McGregor when he’s not able to play a full season so can’t be number 1, therefore meaning an alright back up keeper becomes our first choice and isn’t good enough. McGregor and Davis should of been let go and replaced with quality. Poor tactics against Celtic, not learning from the last time, that’s either down to the management team or the players not implementing the plan properly. And finally and inexcusably a lack of effort from a number (if not most) of the players. That all caused the Celtic result and the Ajax result was all of that along with now a huge lack of confidence and complete self doubt in the players minds. Napoli is now massive. Getting a result is a long shot but at least we must see a huge turn around in effort and performance. Otherwise some of these ‘rumours’ might actually start becoming the truth.
1.) 12 Sep 2022 12:04:17
Good post Gers 1978, agree with what you say . I was so disappointed when we resigned Mcgregor and Davis, both players have been fantastic for us but their moment has passed, ideal time to bring in new blood. Goalkeeper looks like a backup not commanding or vocal enough. The next couple of weeks will define Gio’s future.
2.) 12 Sep 2022 12:55:56
The first sign that ross had no ambition was resigning mccgregor. Was that gio's choice? I doubt it. When a keeper comes on for the last 20 mins of a final. That was his farewell. But wilson paid money to keep him. I would love to know who gio actually wanted out of who we got, as they all seem like wish. com versions of we were supposed to be looking at. Ange has been backed and invested with his players. Hearts have had by there level a far better window than ours. Is our board running the club that badly that we wouldn't have been able purchase anyone without the european money? I get the selling model and with aribo and bassey it worked. But its obvious out scouting system doesn't work. We have 11 midfielders, 2 injured. 1 Striker, bascially. 5 CD, 3 injured. The squad is big but completely unbalanced and missing in key areas. that's Ross Wilsons job.

25 Aug 2022 11:08:27
I’m actually glad we never signed Joey Veerman. Yes he’s obviously a quality footballer, brilliant range of passing and very good at controlling a game from midfield. However he’s also a whiny little b**ch and comes across as a bit weak willed and lacking heart / fight. I worried at the time we were after him when it was stated that he didn’t ‘travel well’ and was suggested he wouldn’t want to leave Holland as he’d struggle to settle abroad, then when he came out in an interview complaining that he’d been priced out of a ‘dream move’ to PSV (before he later got that move) whilst still at his current club. Now last night saying it ‘wasn’t fair’ that we won and we didn’t deserve to be in the champions league. Seems to me the guy would rather cry and stamp his feet when things don’t go his way than roll his sleeves up and make things happen. Not the kind of attitude you need to be a Rangers player!

Of course no one likes to lose, but there’s a way to handle it when you do, to go into an interview and totally disrespect the team that’s just beaten you (and in doing so prove that they are better than you) isn’t the way to do it. Very good player, not a very good mentality, hence why I wouldn’t want someone like that at our club. And yes I thought Simmons looked really good, glad they only gave him 20mins or so over the two legs.

Seriously stormtrooper? Have you read / listened to his interview? Completely disrespected us, clearly shows he thinks we are a small team (probably why he never wanted to come to us) moaned that he was played out of position, basically everyone else’s fault other than his and that we don’t deserve to be in the champions league. Whinging little naff. I understand that folk say things in anger but he’s got previous of making whingey comments to the press. Not the right type of mentality for Rangers in my book, not really a team player. Good on Wesley Snijder for tearing him a new one.

Gers1978 … total agree from me, I think the people running the game in Scotland think we will eventually stop mentioning or posting about the small clubs always getting pumped in Europe, but we wont, because it’s an annual even,
08 Oct 2022 18:28:44
Rfc22? How have you concluded that it’s a ‘load a rubbish coming out of Rangers? You post something that you read on Footballer Insider which we all know talks crap, even then it credited the info coming from ‘an Ibrox source’, same sort of rubbish they always say.
You then guessed at a figure (which was never going to be anything like the amount being paid to a 16 year old) . Then you state that the club are talking sh*te?!? Maybe just don’t believe every bit of nonsense you read online. It’s likely that what ever we did offer him, Aston Villa were able to offer much more, or at least the promise of much much more once he can sign a professional contract. It’s not exactly surprising that a premier league club can blow us out the water in terms of wages and wage structure.
20 Sep 2022 15:37:11
Monty, I think John’s point is, just because one person on a rumours site posts something, it doesn’t automatically make it true. That’s what can frustrate me, not that people want to post rumours or things that they ‘have heard’, (let’s face it, we all come here because it’s fun to read these things), but that a lot of the time they make statements without clarifying the details or what their source is. Then other folk on here suddenly take what was written as 100% gospel truth. I think what John is saying is, yes someone did write that, but they never even stated who these 3 players supposedly were and we have no idea at all if there is any truth in it. It could be completely made up for all we know. This happens a lot on here. Someone posts a ‘rumour’ (which is fine) but by about 5 or 6 responses down some folk are getting raging at Gio, Wilson, the board or A N Other, because of what the rumour was, without considering if there is even a modicum of truth in the original post.
20 Sep 2022 11:42:41
Ok folks let’s calm down, Ben Davies isn’t finished and I can pretty much guarantee we are not going to be signing any out of contract players. Our fans do this every year after a transfer window shuts, just like the papers do and the ‘bloggers’ do. Everyone scrabbles around looking at who is out of contract and the rumours start that we’re going to sign one of them. First it was Barkley, then some Portuguese midfielder who was playing in France, now it’s Gary Cahill. But it’s the same every transfer window and how many times how we signed someone after the window has shut who's on a free? That’s right, none. To me signing out of contract players outside a transfer window kinda smacks of desperation and makes it look like a club doesn’t know what it’s doing. The only time I’d advocate it is if your club suddenly came down with a string of major unforeseen injuries leaving them fundamentally short for a position. Yes I know we have both Helander and Soutar out but we still have Goldson, Davies (just back to fitness) King and Sands. Sorry Bathgate, but I reckon your friend read this on Rangers News Now (like pretty much the rest of us) where it was essentially made up by a blogger.
02 Sep 2022 13:33:39
I think folk just have to start to accept that we will not be bringing in any more players until January. If we were interested in this guy Xeka why would we wait until next week to bring him in? Gio had said for a while that no one else would be coming in unless someone was to leave. Think it’s time to accept he was being straight up and honest.
02 Sep 2022 09:45:47
RFC, very good post but unfortunately I fear some people on hear just don’t understand the business side of things and the huge costs of running and servicing an institution the size of rangers. They just think ‘we made so much from sale of player A, B, C’ (not even taking into account that a lot of that will be staggered and not up front) and then listen to how much the tabloids state we will make from the champs league and therefore think we should spend all of that on new players. They don’t take into account all the costs you have outlined, never mind wages, and I don’t just mean first team players wages, I mean all the coaching and back room staff, all the B team and under 18 and woman’s teams players and staff, and all the other employees the club has just to operate as a business. None of that is taken into consideration. Not to mention that we have been running at a loss (very large losses) every year since demotion except last year, with soft loans being required to keep the club going. And when anyone tries to point that out to them they just state it’s nonsense. Finally we are at least now turning a profit but we can’t just throw all of that back at players and wages like we did in the David Murray era, remember how that turned out?
10 Oct 2022 16:46:14
Yeah the problem is though deecee there’s a very good reason that Saka is playing for Arsenal in the premier league and is probably worth £70 or £80 million and Sakala, Kent, Wright and Matondo…. aren’t. Unfortunately it’s not as easy as saying “just watch what he does and you do it too! ” Otherwise we’d probably all be premier league players too?.

It wasn’t the refs fault, 5 mins had been added (when it was 1-0 to them) . St Johnstone score 92nd min and couldn’t see it out. Their right back was too busy hopping around with a sore foot when the ball was passed to him to even just knock the ball out of play and he gifted them possession and they scored. If I were one of his team mates I would of lamped him in the dressing room after!

INTR. I’m not saying he isn’t. Unfortunately though it’s not all about being skilful (not when you’ve paid £7m which is the most we’ve paid for any player in decades) . Take someone like Paddy McCourt. For all intents and purpose a pretty useless player. However it was well reported at the time that he was probably the ‘most skilful’ player the other mob had. Basically a phenomenal 5 aside player but couldn’t play professional football very well. Now I’m not putting Kent in that bracket, just saying ‘skill’ isn’t everything. If we look at 2 players we’ve had in the past who both played in the ‘left of a front 3’ position. Peter Lovenkrands - bought for 1.3m, 37 goals in 129 games. Shota Arveladze (I know he could play through the middle but most of the time played off the left) - bought for £3m 44goals in 95 games. No doubt neither were as skilful however arguably both have a better return and we’re better value for what we paid.

You do have to question why we signed him? I understand it was a gamble and the ‘pros’ were he was out of contract and being Scottish helped toward our European contingent… however he has been permanently injured his whole career. Gio even stated today that he ‘has the problems he had before’ and that he ‘brought the problems with him when he changed clubs’. I wonder if that was a subtle dig at the recruitment. The deal for Soutar would of been basically done and dusted before Gio even came in so I wonder how happy he is that he’s been lumbered with a player who is never available and we pretty much could of guaranteed that was going to be the case. Helander is another one that seems to be made of chocolate. Permanently picking up new injuries that he seems to take months and months to recover from, at least he’s out of contract at the end of this season.

It’s not being reported. One Liverpool related blog suggested it and it’s source was Ibrox News (which talks total bawls) who basically just said we may be struggling for CB’s for the Liverpool game as Sands is suspended and Davies may not be match fit as only just returned and was in the bench against Dundee United. So basically total conjecture. He may or may not be match ready but that story was complete guess work.
