Gers78!! has written an article entitled, Rangers Squad Rebuild For Next Season

Pretty much spot on Gers78, I'd keep Lawrence, he can still offer something imo, Raskin, I thought done well initially when played with Cantwell, you may be correct in that a full pre-season may help. Balogun for another year as cover. Gd read bud?.
2.) 29 Apr 2024 16:59:22
Good post 78. We may need three goalies.
3.) 29 Apr 2024 17:57:44
Was hoping there might be someone within the B team set up that is ready to be third choice keeper John, but not sure if that’s the case.
4.) 29 Apr 2024 19:08:28
Nicely summarised 78, i’d agree with pretty much all of that??.
5.) 29 Apr 2024 19:27:06
John is that you teasing that Butland is leaving?
6.) 29 Apr 2024 20:32:08
Storm no, plenty says he will go, I hope not, the thread talks McLaughlin and Mccrorie will go
Ger 78, wright was third choice for Europe this season but is behind McLaughlin now for domestic games.
Mb McLaughlin stays if mccrorIe goes
78, imo none of the reserves have any experience above say Alloa Stranraer, but that was same re wright.

Good post and hard to argue but with such a big rebuild we may need to keep some players like Lawrence because we need to use money in other areas I'd certainly sell hagi lammers goldson Wright and not offer deals to any if the ooc players I'd keep tav unless a bid over 5m is made and would look for at least 10m if butland is to. leave so potentially with sales you could generate over 20/ 25m and save over 100k a week on wages so daunting but not impossible.
8.) 30 Apr 2024 07:57:27
If butland goes to the euros then min 15m.
I know he is 31 but we should play hardball. Celtic would get top dollar if it were them.
9.) 30 Apr 2024 08:52:38
We certainly won't turn down 15 million for him.
10.) 30 Apr 2024 09:15:43
Lawrence has been awful wouldn’t have him near my team he looks broken.

Fair play to Dessers for his two goals yesterday. Can’t fault the guy for the effort he always puts in as well. However unfortunately, he’ll just never be good enough to be our main striking option going forward. 19 goals in 38 is a decent return but if you look back on all his games one major thing sticks out. He can not hit a ‘first time finish’. Almost every shot he takes he needs 3 or 4 touches first to set himself.
This results in either: him being tackled, defenders getting back and blocking his shot, or on occasions goals like his first on Sunday, which looked really good as he ‘beat’ 3 men before shooting. Proper strikers can hit first time finishes or at most one touch then shoot. How many times do we see him balloon first time efforts over or well wide.
He just can’t finish with out taking an age to get a shot off. Even both yesterday’s goals were a bit fortunate. The first went through Gordon’s legs, the second seemed to go through him completely some how. On another day both of those are saved. We are desperately Needing someone who can instinctively finish without taking an age to think about it.
1.) 23 Apr 2024 10:16:39
Dessers or alfie.
2.) 23 Apr 2024 12:43:03
Christen - A morph of the pair please - Dessers workrate and attitude and Alfies finishing (in his prime) - I will phone PC and see if he can oblige with this mash-up?.
3.) 23 apr 2024 17:38:43
think i would much rather have dessers finishing to be honest mate, in fact anyone's finishing.
06 Apr 2024 10:21:51
So the official Rangers facebook page just dropped an interview with Butland regarding the Old Firm game about 15mins ago. Doubt they would do that if they knew he was injured and wouldn’t be playing so hopefully it is just nonsense.
1.) 06 Apr 2024 10:43:57
There's nothing on the other main forums such as Follow Follow or Rangers media. If there was any truth in it, it would be all over those 2, but there's nada!
2.) 06 Apr 2024 12:16:49
It was just some wee attention seeking fanny on twitter posting bs.
3.) 06 Apr 2024 12:21:36
Wishful Declan thinking ??.
4.) 06 Apr 2024 13:11:04
Same as the rumours flying around ccv is out, all b. s.
5.) 06 Apr 2024 16:10:41
It was Twitter bs again I don’t know why people believe that rubbish I’ll never know.
6.) 06 Apr 2024 17:09:49
I never bother looking at those sites. complete and utter rubbish.
29 Mar 2024 16:56:55
Well Clement certainly seems convinced that Lundstram willl be staying!
1.) 29 Mar 2024 17:44:13
NRD did tell us???.

Ricksen as a right back was actually pretty poor. He got absolutely slated in his first season, couldn’t defend at all and was rightly subbed after about 25mins of his first old firm as Bobby Petta was ripping him to pieces and he was very close to being sent off. Luckily we found a new pos For him as a central mid where he excelled and got voted player of the year.
As a right back Tav is light years ahead of him. Hutton was decent but for all he was thought of as an ‘attacking fullback’ in his days his numbers were minuscule compared to Tav. It’s always the same, folk have the habit of looking back on players of the past with partially selective memories. 100% a few years after Tav has left he’ll be thought of by most as a legend (and probably rightly so).

Because he brought in Silva for that position and obviously we were unable to obtain anyone else who would have been worth while spending money on. No point in bringing in ‘the wrong person’ just now rather than wait and get the right long term option in the summer. Everyone is talking about how we only have Dessers and Silva, well Celtic only really have Kyogo and the guy they’ve just brought in from Norwich, so same position really.
01 Feb 2024 20:28:43
Here we go, folk jumping on the ‘our board are awful, shocking, sack the board’ guff already. So let’s look at things properly. Prior to the window (and with lots of injuries) under Clement and with the players we had we, win the league cup, cut the gap in the league and qualified for last 16 in Europe. This window we have brought in 3 creative / attacking players. Players that clearly the manager wanted, and we’ve managed to do so in very creative ways to get around spending much money in this window which won’t have been easy. The reason we’ve had to do this? NOT because the board don’t want spend, or ‘dip their hands into their own pockets (which actually, by the way, isn’t the way a board/ club should do things) but in fact due to FFP RULES. In any season clubs now have to prove they can break even financially and as we spent more than we brought in in the summer, in terms of tranfer dealings we are already in the red. Yes other revenue streams will help to balance that over the course of the season, but we can’t continue to over spend in this window and risk potential UEFA sanctions.
Look at Newcastle, on paper probably the richest club in the world due to Saudi backers, yet right now can’t buy anyone and in fact having to sell players so as not to get into trouble. People need to realise the way the business of football works before slating the club.

Would it not likely be Danilo….
31 Jan 2024 14:36:36
Absolute nonsense Fraser. There is no where stating that any deal of any kind with anyone has been ‘done’ for Butland. ?.
29 Apr 2024 17:57:44
Was hoping there might be someone within the B team set up that is ready to be third choice keeper John, but not sure if that’s the case.

I remember we once signed another Dutch forward who had a very similar experience with us. A certain Mr Van Vossen. Came with a good reputation as a very talented and technically adapt forward, had an awful time with us culminating in ‘that’ miss against Celtic. We sold him back to Feyenoord and he ended up back in the Dutch national team.
It would be interesting to see if Lammers could play as an out and out striker for us next season but unfortunately I don’t think we can take the risk of keeping him and he has another poor season. At least now his stock will be high and we’ll be able to sell him on no problem. He seems that type of player that really suits Dutch football which is slower and more technical and where he’ll get a bit more space and time. He’s not a ‘penalty box finisher’ type of striker, who will sniff out and take half chances in a crowded penalty box or bully defenders and hold the play up for others.

You’re right Tom but Matondo needs to be able to offer more than the occasional run when in open space or his new found ability to cut in on his right and hit a shot. He’s useful as an impact player in the last 20mins or so when teams tire but if he’s going to start then he has to be able to offer more. He doesn’t track back well, he shirks out of 50/ 50’s, he can’t beat a man from a standing start (or is afraid to even try most of the time) . His crossing and passing is poor. Yesterday isn’t the first time he’s basically been like a man down.
22 Apr 2024 13:07:31
Sorry stig but Matondo was absolutely horrible yesterday, worse than a man down. First thing he did was run the ball out of play because he can’t control a ball properly, last thing he did was fall over on the ball looking for a non existent free kick. Everything in between was just as bad. The awful thing is we are left with a choice now between him and Silva on the left side of attack. Out of the two I’d almost have to go for Silva just now as although he is also horrendous he can actually just about control a ball, occasionally pass to others and does work back and help out cover his left back. Matondo doesn’t even do any of those things. We are really struggling in forward areas now if Sima is out again.
08 Apr 2024 21:10:42
I’ve seen / heard a lot of folk saying Clement got the starting line up wrong. However unfortunately due to circumstances his hand was forced. He alteady clearly stated that a number of players weren’t able to play 90mins (some probably weren’t ready for anything more than 45). Therefore Sima could not have started. Also due to Ridvan’s injury and Barasic ‘being ill’ (was that just a polite way of Clement saying he doesn’t trust him? ) Sterling who probably would have started wide right had to play left back. So that leaves Wright or McCausland who is also not fully fit and has looked a shadow of himself the last few times he’s played. So reallly there wasn’t any other option. He obviously hoped we could keep things tight first half then go for it last 30mins and bring on the likes of Sima, Matondo and Cantwell to go for it. Unfortunately that game plan was gone in under 30 seconds?.
