Rumblings of Bouldini. Striker for Levante, scored twice v Albacete at the weekend. We had a scout there. Could be a replacement for Lammers.
1.) 15 Jan 2024 02:05:17
A plank fae B&Q could replace Lammers.
2.) 15 Jan 2024 03:49:26
Laudruphagi ????? I needed that thanks ?.
3.) 15 Jan 2024 03:53:58
Ooft another player with bad scoring record 28 years old highly doubt it been bit of a journeyman.
4.) 15 Jan 2024 07:13:37
I'd rather have Van Veen than dive into the 2nd division in Spain.
5.) 15 Jan 2024 07:32:14
The great bouldini, sounds like a circus act. No idea about him and just a post re his name not about the original post.
6.) 15 Jan 2024 08:15:50
Agreed JFM - if he is an escape artist that may suit us - or if he is a magician maybe he could make our useless players disappear and magic some talent into our team???.
7.) 15 Jan 2024 09:21:08
I don't even know him but know this would be a disaster.
8.) 15 Jan 2024 10:46:40
BD you don't even know him but it would be a disaster, brilliant stuff mate.
9.) 15 Jan 2024 11:11:46
Rumblings of Bouldini is a plumber in Carlisle.
10.) 15 Jan 2024 11:44:04
He’s a guy I’ve seen play. Decent but not an upgrade on anything we have.
11.) 15 Jan 2024 13:39:21
Yes the boy was with the circus, well not an act he was the only one who could get the tent back in the bag .
Later on here he may be called Baldina or Boulderannie .
12.) 15 Jan 2024 14:03:03
Mystar if a journeyman with poor gialscoring recoed in spanish 2nd division doesn't ring alarm bells for you then fair play.
13.) 15 Jan 2024 14:18:59
Come on now mystar, anyone with google and a quick search can see why this would be another disaster or should we all believe that you'll tell us he will score goals at Rangers and be a huge success just like you said with Dessers and Lammers lol.
14.) 15 Jan 2024 14:24:01
Really hope not this would be really desperate n scraping the barrow.
15.) 15 Jan 2024 14:34:38
Maybe Rangers ain't interested in him BD, but you having never seen him play and he would be a disaster, that's why i said brilliant stuff.
16.) 15 Jan 2024 14:51:26
Bigbluejim once again never mentioned Lammers once before signing, do that every couple of weeks on here, said the dessers i seen if the conference would do well for us.
17.) 15 Jan 2024 15:01:29
Personally I would prefer us to sign an up and coming young player with real potential for the future as we did many years ago with Gatuso and more recently with Morelos. I'm sure that there are players out there if we have the scouts to find them.
If we are going for an older player then I would prefer that we set our sights higher and go for a pre-contract on a to rated Bosman that can join us at the end of the season.
18.) 15 Jan 2024 17:45:11
Remember a certain lubo moravczick or however it’s spelled
Don’t write anyone off.
19.) 15 Jan 2024 19:22:08
Berkshire fully agree.
Talking of Lubo, how many dogs or cats in your area were called that? ?.
20.) 15 Jan 2024 23:19:30
Big dado 2 dogs maybe 3 actually mate pitbull, staffie and I’m sure a wee mongrel.
21.) 16 Jan 2024 09:00:20
Stevie? there must have been hundreds in Glasgow i knew a few as well. The other one was 'Naka'.
09 Jan 2024 17:57:30
Hi John227,
Saw you'd suggested there could be a swap deal involving Rabbi Matondo. Have you heard anything more on that one? Cheers.
1.) 09 Jan 2024 19:19:43
No ibrox, just rangers r open to swapping him for manhoef.
2.) 09 Jan 2024 19:27:26
Would be great bit of biz!
3.) 09 Jan 2024 19:45:53
Shame we rabbi was coming on to a game at one point.
4.) 09 Jan 2024 20:02:14
Ah I see. Wouldn’t be averse to that going on reports. Can’t confess to knowing anything about Manhoed other than the speculation in forums.
5.) 09 Jan 2024 20:14:25
Problem is he goes off it quicker than he comes on to it.
6.) 09 Jan 2024 20:22:07
Ridvan and Lammers seem to be on their way out but at the moment there appears to be nothing happening regarding incoming players has the board told PC he needs to cut the squad? if so similar to what SG was told after winning 55.
7.) 09 Jan 2024 20:47:05
Gresley we already knew we had to cut the squad size. Our wage bill is higher than celtics, how can we be paying more to players that haven’t been good enough to win the league over them, that’s not a good return for your money. We tried to offload more players in the summer as even then we knew the squad was too big, but weren’t able to, so it was always going to be the case that more would probably go this window than would come in, Clement has even suggested that himself. Also just because the noise right now is more about players going out than in, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t on going discussions happening regarding incoming players. There will be lots of on going negotiations for players going both ways, all at the same time. It doesn’t really matter which happen first (just that in the end hopefully the majority of the ones we want to happen do so) .
8.) 09 Jan 2024 20:56:12
Relax Gresley .
9.) 09 Jan 2024 21:05:00
Gresley, deals take time. Only a week into the window and DoF started last week. Fans need to be patient, it’s a notoriously difficult time to get players in and many deals will be done late in the window.
10.) 09 Jan 2024 21:09:07
Gresley Loyal, I very much doubt Clement would have come into the situation we we in without a promise of transfers available. Especially if the club manage to get rid of a few in the Jan window. Others also out of contract soon, so would expect new players to come in?
11.) 09 Jan 2024 21:14:39
Silva has come in Greasly they are still 2 weeks to go in the window but if patience needed.
12.) 09 Jan 2024 21:20:48
While I like the idea of swapping Matondo for Manhoef, I'm guessing one issue might be Matondos wage, which I think I heard was pretty big (she's of guess out of Vitesse's range? )
13.) 09 Jan 2024 21:30:27
Matondo could be useful second half of season.
He was really coming into a game before his injury.
Might be best to keep him get him playing and sell him in summer.
If we can involve him in a swap for manhoef that would be great.
14.) 09 jan 2024 21:51:14
fastest player I've ever seen, i would be sorry to see him fail.
15.) 09 Jan 2024 22:27:27
I’d keep him as back up to sima on the left if he’s fit.
Diva looks like hel be better on the right.
Mccausland will likely back him up.
Makes me wonder if manhoef is more likely a summer signing to replace silva leaving.
16.) 09 Jan 2024 22:28:19
Matondo has had numerous chances he is shocking. Sakala was by far more dangerous and we let him go.
17.) 09 Jan 2024 22:45:18
To be fair matondo moved around a lot in team but he is another who keeps picking up too many niggling injuries.
07 Jan 2024 17:00:19
Also, an observation from a member of the current Rangers coaching team is that Lowry will be lucky to be playing football at any level at the end of his current contract. Doesn't lack ability but his attitude is absolutely a problem. Has caused issues with his expectations at Hearts and has apparently been a Billy Bigbaws as he's a Rangers player. Naismith likes him as a player but his behaviour is causing discontent.
I'm disappointed hearing this as I'd like him and others (Devine, Lovelace, McAusland, Rice etc) to be a big part of our future. However the source is as close as anything.
1.) 07 Jan 2024 17:14:46
Ibrox he will be playing lowland league in three years imo.
2.) 07 Jan 2024 17:20:26
Yep. It’s very disappointing to see though. Saw him play at Tynecastle end of season 18 months ago and he lit the place up and called his performance with a tremendous goal. But all factors have to combine and for whatever reason, positive behaviour isn’t there. Wonder if PC could address this?
3.) 07 Jan 2024 17:21:04
He used to run about the training ground waving wads of cash to younger academy players. Arrogance will kill his career and it’s a shame as he’s a good player.
4.) 07 Jan 2024 17:36:55
I would have expected some senior pros to have taken him aside and told him some serious home truths and put him in his place.
Perhaps they have and he hasn’t listened.
If they have and he hasn’t listened then he’s a fool and will deserve the outcome.
5.) 07 Jan 2024 17:38:47
Wish, no he never.
6.) 07 Jan 2024 17:38:49
He'll badly regret his behaviour in years to come. the amount of young players that would love an opportunity like he got.
7.) 07 Jan 2024 17:43:10
I heard he went into Riccarton training ground dressed as Donald Trump and told Naisy he was fired.
8.) 07 Jan 2024 17:51:45
I thought the bad tackle against Dumbarton a while back may have been a wake up call for Lowry - unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case.
Real shame.
9.) 07 Jan 2024 17:53:41
Yeah wishy that’s just made up bs mate.
10.) 07 Jan 2024 17:53:42
Dado…??.
11.) 07 Jan 2024 18:21:41
Did he threaten too build a wall round the perimetre as well Dado ?.
12.) 07 Jan 2024 18:41:55
Sleeps on a mattress plumped up with £50 notes.
13.) 07 jan 2024 18:43:40
id be surprised if he had “ wads of cash “ to throw around anywhere
and if he did that in any clubs i was at he would have gone home poorer, and with sore cobblers, so no, no chance did that happen.
14.) 07 Jan 2024 18:43:49
Cried myself to sleep for years before I realised my ex wife had stuffed my pillow with chopped onions. Cow.
15.) 07 Jan 2024 19:16:03
Think the lad lost his mum a few years back who was his guiding light, it's understandable to go off the rails a bit, hopefully he knuckles down under big Phil.
16.) 07 Jan 2024 19:16:33
Big dado I'm praying that's true ???????
Absolutely no danger did Lowry turn up throwing cash about, no chance.
17.) 07 Jan 2024 20:16:09
Wishy that’s 100% utter bs.
His demeanour can be misconstrued, he’s a quiet but confident lad and some mistake that for arrogance. He def has the talent.
18.) 07 Jan 2024 20:31:40
It would be seriously remiss of PC not to have Lowry on the training ground for 6 months. I suspect talk of his alleged bad attitude is overblown but many young players do screw the nut eventually. I’d be more worried if he was on the drink every other night.
19.) 07 Jan 2024 20:52:13
Walter Mcoist, love that, still laughing.
20.) 07 Jan 2024 21:18:47
Always suspicious of a so called rangers fan that wants to shoot down a youth player before he’s even had a proper chance.
Ibrox4me, why you feel the need to shoot down a guy that is not even playing for us at the moment and is still considered a prospect?
Can all of you say you were clever or make all clever decisions at his age?
21.) 07 Jan 2024 21:19:26
The ego thing must be true as it's all you hear regarding him. Shame, lots of talent.
22.) 07 Jan 2024 21:25:02
I agree with John, boy will be in the lowland leagues or even playing amateur football in my opinion. I personally never rated him, always looked too arrogant for his actual ability. Will never make the grade at rangers.
23.) 07 Jan 2024 22:02:27
If his attitude was so bad why would hearts not send him back to rangers. utter crap made up story's as for throwing money around that's the best bs so far.
24.) 07 Jan 2024 22:26:45
You can believe what you want I trust the person who told me, one of many stories I’ve heard about him. It’s telling that every manager he’s played under he’s been bombed out.
25.) 07 Jan 2024 22:48:57
Wish bear he’s only 20.
26.) 07 Jan 2024 23:11:19
Wishybear that’s utter garbage! Are you still in school? Cause that’s playground nonsense.
27.) 08 Jan 2024 00:00:30
No highlandbear I’m not still in school, but I have two family members who went to school with lowry and played thru the youth acedemies with him. I know exactly what he’s like.
28.) 08 Jan 2024 08:12:27
East Belfast, likewise. Hearts have him on a year loan most likely without a recall like Hagi. If he was doing so well, he’d be playing every week. I think I’ll trust my source as opposed to an angry, anonymous poster who doesn’t want to accept a situation they he/ she doesn’t actually know anything about. If you know otherwise for certain, do let us all know. ??♂️.
29.) 08 Jan 2024 10:47:52
Some amount of rubbish being spread about Lowry. Wee Man lost his mum to cancer last year. Going through a lot.
30.) 08 Jan 2024 11:57:09
@Gofor - what a ridiculous comment. So you’re suspicious of me eh? Dear Lord. You’re one of the snippiest, nippy posters on this forum. You rarely offer any insight but always happy to shoot everything down. Read my post and follow up and look where the info is coming from. Instead of your constant sniping, perhaps offer up some insight or opinions as opposed to simply being consistently negative. It’s guys/ girls like you that often make me consider if it’s worth posting. You’ve had an absolute shocker here. And you have zero reason to suspect me, I give everything I can to our club.
24 Dec 2023 14:42:56
Chat at Fir Park today suggests a deal for Shankland has been agreed. From a source inside the club. There's going to be loads of soeculuand guesswork but would be happy at this.
From Hearts, Lowry has been a nightmare and a massive ego. Disappointing to hear this if it's true. Direct from Andy Halliday.
Anyway, wishing all Bears and the Rangers Eds, a very Merry Christmas. All the best.
1.) 24 Dec 2023 15:22:14
*speculation.
2.) 24 Dec 2023 16:27:27
Lowry stories would, make your hair curl, ibrox 4 me.
3.) 24 Dec 2023 16:46:22
Really John? All the ego roumers are true?
4.) 24 Dec 2023 17:22:34
Might not be new news, but heard yesterday that Shankland may have a clause in his contract with regards to moving to a club with European Football that will make any potential deal a lot more straightforward.
5.) 24 dec 2023 17:25:51
said a week ago deal with shankland agreed, but, I've just this very minute had a visit from a london based rangers supporting journo, in fact he's just walked out my drive into his car having come from london this morning, he says “ i don't see rangers agreeing to the price at his age “, so we will soon find out,
John, he agrees with you, lowry is in serious peril of throwing a career away.
6.) 24 Dec 2023 17:27:31
Lowry is an egotistical little one who got a very goid contract with us at a young age and thinks he is way better than he is or ever will be - just need to know about his dummy out the pram with regards to Ross mcAusland and Zak Lovelace 18 months ago.
7.) 24 Dec 2023 17:39:52
If that's true i'm sure he will enjoy league one in a few years.
8.) 24 Dec 2023 17:57:16
I posted a few weeks ago we wouldn't see Lowry play for us again, Clement strikes me as the sort that takes no nonsense.
9.) 24 Dec 2023 17:58:17
Much more than ego.
10.) 24 Dec 2023 18:02:02
Just like the story I told about beale, sakala that you rubbished, John?
11.) 24 Dec 2023 18:03:26
I'll repeat what you said to me where's your proof?
12.) 24 Dec 2023 18:38:24
Don't know about that big tel, you willing to share info?
13.) 24 Dec 2023 19:21:07
Gofor, go and
I’m not on here to be sued.
14.) 24 Dec 2023 19:22:43
Gofor, u have not told us how sakala was mistreated, u never answer a straight question.
15.) 24 Dec 2023 19:37:49
Lowry has more than ego. He carries wee stories and is a bit of a snake. This was the situ with him before he broke into the 1st team. Don't think he will have changed much though.
16.) 24 dec 2023 19:52:05
is there no skool in the morning then?
17.) 24 Dec 2023 19:52:43
Lowry to be given an opportunity by Clement to prove he has the quality, character and good enough for inclusion in the manager’s first team squad.
18.) 24 dec 2023 19:58:40
he guessed john, boys full of self aggrandisement, sad really, , but when something appears he needs to say he told everyone, must be kids thing.
19.) 24 Dec 2023 20:16:46
Loads on here slaughtering a young lad about attitude etc without a shred of proof? Has any coach etc came out and said the boy has a bad attitude or is it all folk on here thinking they know everything?
20.) 24 Dec 2023 20:21:08
What's this? Is this an Alex Lowry pile on tonight?
You've changed your tune, John? You were on here sticking up for the boy and reminding everyone that he was dealing with the death of his mum at such a young age, but now his behaviour would "make your hair curl"?! Well, as you're "in the know", tell us what he's been up to?
21.) 24 dec 2023 20:22:30
“ the story i told about beale “
laughable really.
22.) 24 Dec 2023 20:48:51
Give the kid a break for heavens sake .
23.) 24 Dec 2023 20:50:13
I remember watching the hearts games at the beginning of the season to see lowry amd saying he would never cut it at rangers and John agreed saying that Lowry would end up in the Scottish championship.
24.) 24 Dec 2023 21:05:07
Livi I stand by what I said shame really.
25.) 24 Dec 2023 21:22:06
And again, a very Merry Christmas to all. Go kind, go safe ???.
26.) 24 Dec 2023 21:32:38
Gofor you have no shame whatsoever matw.
27.) 24 Dec 2023 22:16:28
It's simple really, Clement will see what Lowry's like both on the pitch and off and he'll either kick on or be moved on.
As for Shankland, we need to stump up and pay for him as we'll regret it if we don't. He can give us 20 plus goals for the next 3 years at least.
28.) 24 Dec 2023 23:10:28
Having been involved with boys club football you can certainly see how this has worked out, been too good for his age and thought he was the finished player but you still need to train and be a good person. not an arsehole
“.
29.) 24 Dec 2023 23:00:08
Putting any alleged attitude problems aside for the moment.
Alex has to find his way on the park first, where it counts.
On the evidence of what we've seen from his time at Hearts he will need to improve many area's of his game if he's to wear the Royal Blue on a regular basis.
As stated previously
I for one wish him well, same with any young Scottish players in particular trying to make their way in the game.
It's not always best policy to judge novice players as it can take a wee while for the penny to drop with some of them.
Hope young Zac Lovelace can put his injuries behind him and get a run of games under his belt in the first team.
30.) 25 Dec 2023 07:15:04
Many a young player like Lowry have egos and attitude (past and present) - if that is 100% correct then I would like to see him back under PC and see how he deals with situation- its such a talent to go to waste or to fritter away his football future in lower leagues.
31.) 25 Dec 2023 08:39:42
I've heard all the rumours about his attitude think I posted a long time ago and got shot for it. The one thing I'd add to John's post is not one of us wants this boy to fail were desperate for more of our own to break through and take us to the next level.
32.) 25 Dec 2023 09:36:16
Raise the roofe correct re family bereavement, I’m also the guy who said he won’t make it
At no time have I written anything about his ego,
33.) 25 Dec 2023 10:11:41
I've had the good fortune to do coaching sessions with a lot of the younger Scottish age groups.
My take away from spending a few hours with Lowry and from conversations with coaches who have worked with him is his confidence didn't match his ability, and on the opposite side of that equation was Devine - who had an unbelievable amount of talent but just didn't believe in himself.
Barron on the other hand was an absolute dream to work with - kid gave everything and you could see that any other players involved in his drills also raised there levels to match him.
34.) 25 Dec 2023 11:02:21
I totally agree John. Any time I've seen him he's always seemed off and lacking that youthful drive of someone from the academy getting their chance. I remember steven hughes against Maribor he wanted it. Guys like barry Nicholson, David graham, jamie ness, gary mcsweegan all tried their hearts out even though they weren't at the required level. Lowry must think he's there. I had the pleasure of seeing derek Ferguson and durrant come through and barry Ferguson later, all far more talented than Lowry yet wanted more than anything. Lowry seems like he won't be playing football in a few years. The first time i seen lowry play was 5 years ago at the oriam. My boy was playing for hearts against him. Lowry is older than my boy but the SFA had arranged games based on a maturity index rather than age. Lowry looked the part playing and seemed the centre of attention in their group. Hearts won 7-2 and in my boys hearts team that day was Aaron hickey, things have worked out a bit differently for him.
35.) 25 Dec 2023 12:00:23
Livi my concern re all young players is it’s very easy to develop bad habits, I know of an academy who had three players fail a drugs test recently in the uk.
36.) 26 Dec 2023 21:23:57
Just like you have not said what Lowry did . hypocritical to say the stuff you did to me then come out with similar stuff yourself.
You may well be 100% correct on Lowry as I was with sakala
You seem to demand proof from others but not yourself it is a rumours page and I’m just saying try treat equally and give people their due when they get it right.
Then you say don’t want sued lol so any difference from any of us talking about similar stuff .
37.) 26 Dec 2023 21:29:42
Livi bear we ruined Hughes by getting him to bulk up this obsession with muscle mass just look back at guys like sounds who were lean. Still think Kent ruined himself with too much upper body stuff.
Lol funny people all say about seeing him truth is he hasn’t had many top team opportunities. They don’t just turn up and be brilliant right away some players take more time.
We all know the rumours about Lowry and fact Halliday called him wee shyness . It’s not always a bad thing just needs to back up with performances and to be fair not had many opportunities to do so minutes wise.
38.) 26 Dec 2023 21:30:35
I’d be very wary branding a young player with a label before he’s really had a chance to launch a career.
39.) 27 Dec 2023 09:59:58
Shame storm for standing up for what is right.
Just cause John has a reputation doesn’t mean he should be able to try pick apart others posts without same in return .
For a guy to try discredit a poster who told everyone about sakala way before it was made public and then claim he knew all about it. (Beales treatment of players)
Either makes him a liar or a bad person for deliberately discrediting someone when he knew it was true.
16 Dec 2023 12:37:01
One other point. Cantwell will play tomorrow.
1.) 16 Dec 2023 13:03:58
Ibrox that is my info as well.
2.) 16 Dec 2023 14:57:40
Our defence must be "On Point" for tomorrows match - no being caught on heels by Mijovski/ Duk or Sokler who have scored directly through centre defences in last few matches (us included) and also tight marking at set pieces - negate these guys and we will hopefully be smiling tomorrow night??.
3.) 16 Dec 2023 15:27:15
Better communication between the CBs required. One man marks Miovski the other covers. simple really. They scored a similar goal midweek with the flick on to the forward to who outran the CBs to score.
4.) 16 Dec 2023 19:40:48
The manager has said he’s available, so I’d expect him to play. Wright also available and will be on the bench.

11 Apr 2024 16:03:56
Forgetting the annoyance of the postponements, what do followers of this site think about the split with 5 games to go? For me, it's embarrassing and should be binned. Talk of dead rubber games I get, but having a team finishing in 7th with more points than the teams on 5th or 6th for example is a joke. Time to get rid.
1.) 11 Apr 2024 16:22:38
Not really embarrassing as the team that finishes 7th is playing all the below ranked teams so should collect more points whereas the opposite is true for the team that finishes 6th.
We should still be trying to improve the product though.
2.) 11 Apr 2024 17:04:34
I quite like the split and think it is a good idea.

What about the belgian split? Now that's a farce. Teams can win the title who are 30 behind.
4.) 11 Apr 2024 18:06:51
It is a joke, time for 2 leagues in Scotland. I'm sure I am in the huge minority when I say 2 games against them, per season, is enough. Possibility of 4 games with cup brought into it. Will never happen, of course, as Sky decides.
5.) 11 Apr 2024 18:36:46
I actually like it, the one thing I hate is the mismatch of home and away games, ie you might end up playing a team 3 times away.
6.) 11 Apr 2024 18:42:44
League should be bigger with a home and away against all section teams post split.
Scottish football's favourite phrase sporting integrity only seems to count when it comes to rangers.
7.) 11 Apr 2024 19:25:00
7th don’t finish above 6th, two leagues at that point. I thought it was stupid but it’s common these days with smaller countries.
8.) 11 Apr 2024 21:12:49
Scotland not big enough for 4 leagues. 2 leagues of 20 I’d have, with no relegation or promotion for the first year to encourage attacking play.
9.) 11 Apr 2024 22:01:56
18 team league home and away no split. No having a team in a euro position one week then relegation fight the next. Having a mid table to fight for a European place is good if there is no fear of going down. Teams might even try and play football. Young players are more likely to be given a chance and our game would improve. Anyone who says when we had the old first division it went stale, look at the players we prodiced then. Early 70's old firm in finals teams like dunfermline getting runs. Even the success of the early 80's came from yhr league format of the 70's and before when teams would have a go.
Look at the fiasco with the dens park pitch. Worse were played on in the past. Get on with it. If the suits can't bring a format that improves football, earns enough money to get a pitch playable then they shouldn't be drawing a penny from our game. How much football and even experience of simple exercise has MacLennan and doncaster got under their belts? Hee haw! If you had to go for heart surgery had the consultant told you what had to been done, you would say wait i'm going phone the guy who painted hall and see what he thinks. These two know nothing about football or even msking our league better. They simply want to make sure they can draw a wage and pick and choose when and how much their pay rises are.
Do these people solely work for the league or do they have other jobs. MacLennan worked for dermott Desmond amd that was his only need qualification. Does he still work for Desmond. Doncaster the security guard from boots seems unemployable so why are they there. Clubs are run by suits but the fans pay the money amd when these people go we the fans are still there, even if it means your clubs been run into the ground whilst some owner greases his ego f's off and leaves the team at the bottom off the football set up. We've had it done to our club but they've been doing it to the league and our association much longer. We compare ourselves internally in the league but for a lot of us we can remember our league being comparable to a lot of good leagues in europe. If you said to them about us and the top leagues its apples to oranges, but strip it back its mismanagement, lack of ideas and the shutting down of ideas, lack of belief that came from this and employing people that haven't got a clue. Leaders of the leagues and association along with league formats must be voted in through supporters clubs. Nominated by board members from clubs. No one outside of the bubble would have them or the set up we have.

Totally agree Livi, Well said. Would also consider two 20 team leagues with regional based leagues underneath.
11.) 13 Apr 2024 08:23:57
Livi, good post mate, I thing 2 leagues of 20 teams is sufficient for Scotland with teams playing one another twice in a season.
09 Apr 2024 19:29:50
Ed poll please - Are Rangers fans:
1. A Season ticket holder
2. Attend most games home and away
3. Watch most games on tv
4. Live abroad.
{Ed033's Note -
Rangers fans poll
1.) 09 Apr 2024 19:55:09
Ibrox4Me, Does live abroad include living in England?
2.) 09 Apr 2024 20:02:22
If you like, although I’m sure comparing Carlisle and Cornwall will earn me more side eye ? ?
It was a fairly general question to get an idea of who our posters are.
3.) 09 Apr 2024 20:15:51
Pensioner now, live in the Midlands, don't get to ibrox, but fan since the early 60's, I don't have sky TV, so it's BBC radio for me!
4.) 09 Apr 2024 21:31:38
As I stay in Blackwood and originally a Larkhall boy I attend every game ( apart from Sunday as I gave my book up for a fellow Ger who had family coming from abroad and he gives me his book for my boy as he works home and abroad) . I think a lot of our great posters are split. I attend every home game apart from a few with work dictating that but always someone within my family takes my seat. Also attend away games and even though some are hard to take with our support but I gulp it up and maintain a standard our great club is built on.
09 Apr 2024 15:52:02
Out of interest, how many people on this forum regularly attend games or are season ticket holders? Maybe a poll please Ed? Also keen to hear the comments too.
Before the odd few get upset, it's not about staunch points or being a better fan, I'm just curious.
I'll start. Been a STH for 30 odd years and went to most games for 9 years prior to that.
{Ed033's Note - For a poll, i need a question and options for possible answers. The word "regularly" is subjective and needs to be defined in a poll, i think.
How long is a piece of string? :)
1.) 09 Apr 2024 16:37:10
Had a season ticket in main stand front for 10 years but had to give it up in 2010, got my gers now and go to a few games a season with my daughter and both in st waiting list.
2.) 09 Apr 2024 16:49:45
Ok, are posters:
1. Season ticket holders
2. Attend most games home and away
3. Watch most games on tv
4. Live abroad
A piece of string is approximately 4-30cm in length on average.

I've been a season ticket holder for 48 years now and have been a shareholder for around 37 years and lost my shares when we went into admin ☹️I bought more once dave king, john gilligan and paul murray had ousted they leeches from our club, when the share issue became available again ?I only stopped going to all the away games about 8 years ago now but still go to all our european games home cup games and semi finals and finals of the domestic cup competitions ?.
4.) 09 Apr 2024 17:00:27
Not sure the point of a poll. I'm happy to tell that I can no longer attend games due to I'll health. This is the second season I have been in no condition to go. Not sure what it proves. I've said it before, it doesn't make mine or anybody else's posts more or less valid if they go or don't go.
5.) 09 Apr 2024 17:08:23
Gave up ST due to barely using it. Work away half the year and have 3 kids to occupy me when am home. But can get tickets for pretty much any game. Been 4 games this season. Both home games v celtic, betis at home and dundee away. Try my best to get an away euro game in but been tricky of late due to way they have been working out. Last one was liepzig away semi final.
6.) 09 Apr 2024 17:28:58
Previously season ticket holder and shareholder with my wife for 20 years. Lost the shares through Admin. and had to give up my tickets in the Govan Rear due to health and financial issues. TV Fan now unless I can blag a ticket for when they come to Livi.
7.) 09 Apr 2024 18:06:44
Had ST growing up until working most weekends got in the way now attend when I can and most midweek games. Probably make about dozen games per season with my wee boy.
8.) 09 Apr 2024 18:13:53
I had season ticket for 20+ years gave it up in 2011 as I just didn’t like going to games anymore. I just didn’t enjoy it. I hate being stuck in traffic also.
Info the odd time now and always get tickets for semi finals and finals at hampden but I give them to
My best mate and his son.
9.) 09 Apr 2024 18:31:02
Been a season ticket holder since we dropped down the divisions, when younger never missed a game home or away and always could get a ticket, only went up a few times a season when kids young as worked seven days a week, at the game, watching tv or even listening to radio it didn’t make me more or less a supporter through the years.
10.) 09 Apr 2024 18:53:12
JFM, don’t get upset. Read my post. Just curious. You don’t have to jump down people’s throat every time ?. Read, think, respond. Just keen to understand where everybody is at and what their viewpoints are based on. Watching a game live, watching live on tv and watching highlights or online will give very different perspectives. I would reserve my judgement on player praise or slating if I knew that someone was basing their opinion on 10 mins of sportscene. Doesn’t make anybody less of a fan of course.
Lots of great posts and info on this site at times, and one or two posters just out to argue with everyone. I didn’t ask anyone to prove they are the staunchest or to defend their views.
Thanks to those who had the courtesy of responding.
11.) 09 Apr 2024 19:37:36
I didn't jump down your throat. I said I was happy to tell you without a poll which in my view is meaningless.
There is always a reason for asking a question like that.
By the way you get more views of each incident watching live on TV but I wish I could be at the game.
12.) 09 Apr 2024 19:52:42
Try reading your own posts ibrox, you didn't ask anyone to defend their views but right above it you say you would reserve your judgement if you knew someone was watching TV highlights.
The reason I said that I'd said it before is it is not the first time someone has asked a question like this.
13.) 09 Apr 2024 19:54:30
Season ticket holder for long years. Stopped going to away games a few years ago. Go to the odd European game and cup games at Ibrox.
20 Mar 2024 15:19:24
Dundee away rescheduled to Wednesday 10 April. Common sense and hopefully strong representation from the club applied. Most appropriate date in the circumstances. Clear week leading into the match with the mhob.
18 Feb 2024 21:40:03
James Bisgrove and John Bennett deserve tremendous credit. Philippe Clemons was their first appointment. They took time, tested the market and did their diligence. So far, we have a cup, a last 16 in Europe (a bonus for now), a 9/ 10 point swing in the league and a 17 goal difference swing. Also in the quarters of the Scottish Cup. Other than the LC, nothing has been one yet, however the league was gone and the European campaign was headed for early elimination. The guys running our club have done a superb job appointing the manager. I also believe that Nils Koppen is a great appointment. Better times are here and more are incoming but let's not get carried away. One game at a time, and Europe is a bonus, albeit let's see how far we can go. After coming home from Perth today, I'm a very happy and optimistic supporter.
1.) 18 Feb 2024 21:44:20
Agreed Ibrox. Fantastic appointments.
2.) 18 Feb 2024 21:56:18
Ibrox, good post.
3.) 18 Feb 2024 22:33:06
*Clement/ won - typing too fast ??.
4.) 19 Feb 2024 03:40:55
Error was it not clement that put himself forward.
5.) 19 Feb 2024 07:28:59
So what gofor You can't help yourself.
They still interviewed PC and decided he was the man for the job.
6.) 19 Feb 2024 09:11:41
Whats the chances that PC could leave after this season?
7.) 19 Feb 2024 09:32:40
In that case Go For, I’ll just put myself forward for Barcelona Manager and head to Catalonia. What a bizarre take. Standard.
Ally. I think he’s here for a while and gets the club, but if he does leave, it’ll be for a lot of money.
8.) 19 Feb 2024 09:40:44
Totally agree ibrox. For me a bonus when Jensen said no.
Minute clement declared interest he was getting the job.
9.) 19 Feb 2024 10:30:09
All MC62 I'm sure I read he's adamant he wants to stay at least 3 years, his kids were grown up and his wife's first move with just them and wants to settle to put his mark on a club not sure how concrete it was but definitely read something along they lines.
10.) 19 Feb 2024 14:03:10
I think we need to stop these posts about the chances of Clement leaving, what will be will eventually bee, just let the man continue to excellent work he's doing, whatever happens, he'll always have our respect.
11.) 19 Feb 2024 16:47:21
They chose to give him the job fine well done.
All i'm Saying is they did not identify and pursue him what's wrong with that.
09 Apr 2024 16:48:10
Why don’t Rangers offer them Ibrox? Have they forgotten people have got flights, trains, supporters coaches and so on booked and paid for (again)?
28 Mar 2024 23:59:21
Alexa, show me a shaking Declan.
Honestly, what a post. ????.
24 Mar 2024 19:35:39
Superb intel John and potentially great business from the board.
20 Mar 2024 07:55:11
Could be a few from Shankland, Barron, Armstrong, Watson, Miller and the like.
13 Mar 2024 10:38:29
Correct Paul. Ian Black, Foster, Kyle, and others bring me out in a cold sweat at the very thought of them wearing our shirt.
The majority of others remain a positive part of our history.
24 Apr 2024 10:10:33
Would like to see these boys get game time this season if/ when we are in the cruise and 2/ 3 goals up. I know that may not be very often now! Play them through pre season and give them some momentum before the season starts. Time to play them or let them loose. Squad is going to be rebuilt and needs to be the best of youth mixed with proven first team ready players. I expect and hope for a lot of change in the close season.
21 Apr 2024 07:59:17
Time to go. Big wage and not consistently good enough in my opinion. Run to Seville excellent but hasn’t hit the same heights since. Wish him well and move on.
16 Apr 2024 14:23:15
100% agreed.
16 Apr 2024 13:14:15
That’s fair enough OWS. I don’t and can’t speak for anyone else but I reckon we’re all hurting right now. I’m finding some optimism and faith in PC. There will be many away this summer, a lot of the names consistently mentioned. New and better players will arrive. This season is far from over and whilst we made a f*****g backside of it at the weekend, anything can still happen. Recall ICT, Motherwell and so on. As fans, we’ve got to give it 100% together until it’s done or impossible. We all different views, different ways of supporting, different ways of communicating it. What’s common is that we all absolutely want to win. Let’s hope we can turn things around and that our manager can pull a rabbit out the hat. Next season will always be the year to judge but we’re still in a race.
