Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


10 Aug 2018 23:08:23
I would be happy to spend a fair chunck of next year's kitty on signing Coulibaly on a pemenant deal. I heard he once got in a fight with a bear and it's now a rug in his living room. It's not dead it's just scared to get up.



10 Aug 2018 23:39:15
Orange tam i also heard every time he passes it he gives it a wee sliding tackle.



10 Aug 2018 23:44:07
Coulibaly is not hung like a horse, horses are hung like Coulibaly.



10 Aug 2018 23:52:51
epic tam ha.



11 Aug 2018 00:22:01
Absolute class orange tam, buckled mate😂😂😂.



11 Aug 2018 01:27:10
Coulabaly will be no more than 2m How can he be any more? Its Angers he's playing for not Barcelona

Get real guys A fair amount of chunk my arse!

If he continues to do the right things and the fans get right behind him by taunting his name and he feels the love Then i don't see any reason why he wouldn't sign for us

It's a no brainer!



11 Aug 2018 07:56:38
Coulibally vs Broon at the Piggery. Mouth watering stuff!



11 Aug 2018 09:15:53
Unless another 'honest' mistake gets him sent off and he misses the game.
Wouldn't that be odd?



10 Aug 2018 21:31:33
I know it’s very early days fellow bears, but the way we have conducted ourselves over the summer since SG’s appointment is reminding me of how we were under Walter.

By that I mean, how we’re keeping our council, going about our business, there is a professionalism now which wasn’t there under PC or Murty, as I don’t think certain members of the board or players were happy under either stewardship.

We have struck gold with this appointment and it will only get better as we gain momentum.

I feel and our club is being led from the inside again, by good decent footballing brains and also Gentleman as was the rangers I knew and respected.

If we can progress in Europe and reach the stages where we’re getting a turnover again, this already would be a remarkable and significant step forward.

I am sure under SG and GMcC we have a great chance of reaching a level, that once again, will have us a the top of Scottish football.

Really looking forward to this season, unless Klopp loses his first 6 games lol.



10 Aug 2018 22:02:43
Breathe of fresh air, totally agree jardine72.



10 Aug 2018 22:34:37
There is no doubt Rangers have pulled a master stroke in pointing Steven Gerrard as manager. His name alone has pulled some class players. Gerrard is a winner and will not want to fail. He and his team is bringing the feel good factor back to Ibrox. He and Mark Allen have bought/ signed well. And so far they have spent less than Pedro did.



10 Aug 2018 23:04:31
Absoulutly buzzing. we all are ibrox was a brilliant place on thurs. no seen that for a while. beating them at hampden and knocking Motherwell out cup wi the deano goal was good but this . this is the real mcoy. Thank the lord we never got mcinnes. Thank you Derik from the bottom of my heart.



11 Aug 2018 09:20:19
We are looking good but let's wait to see where we are after 12 games before getting carried away. I’m optimistic the banter years are over as well but let's see where we sit in December at the break.



10 Aug 2018 20:49:21
Steven Gerrard is of course his own man,
but i do see shades of graeme souness in him. The way he commands respect and fight from his players, the way he's started rebuilding rangers from the back, his mentality of us and them, that he said in his post match interview, after the sheep game,
the way he sticks up for the club, the tremendous team spirit he's installed, the same iconic midfielder, with a massive global name that souness had, even down to gerrard's new club tie, which is a design of years gone by! Really feeling very positive with steven gerrard as our manager! let's go!



10 Aug 2018 21:13:20
i agree supercooper steve g is at the start of great things things for the famous for the first time in years i know we are in safe hands and it feels great bring on st mirren let's go.



10 Aug 2018 21:38:13
You should have that framed as a poem Supercoop!



10 Aug 2018 21:40:35
Is there anyone that you don't see anyone in? If you came out and said that you see dead people a wouldn't bat an eye lid.



10 Aug 2018 21:48:43
The thing that has impressed me the most about SG is how good his signings have fitted in so quickly. I don't think there has been a failure. I know it's early days still but the signs are looking good.



11 Aug 2018 00:09:57
I remember a post similar to that from coops coldo but it ended with something about statues of Warburton and mcpartland outside ibrox 😂😂😂.



11 Aug 2018 09:24:07
Lets all calm down to a panic. The early signs are great but let's see where we are in December before claiming him the messiah after 1 league game that we drew (aye I know we win with 11 men) Some of you spouted the same about the hat banker and texas pete!



10 Aug 2018 19:40:37
I see that armin hodzic has scored again looks some player hope the rumours are true that we are after him.



10 Aug 2018 18:35:09
Rumour has it that Lassana Coulibaly sleeps with the light on, as the dark is afraid of him. And he doesn't get flu, flu gets Lassana Coulibaly. and when doing a push ups, he pushes the earth away 💪💪💪

#CoulibalyTheMachine.



10 Aug 2018 19:25:35
True story patmo👍.



10 Aug 2018 19:39:55
He can start a fire by rubbing 2 ice cubes together.



10 Aug 2018 19:57:10
I thought that was Chuck Norris.



10 Aug 2018 20:43:43
For a leg he has. Patrick Duffy!



10 Aug 2018 23:11:20
Brilliant he walks on hot coals just to cool off i heard.



10 Aug 2018 23:48:07
I heard he can do wheelies on a unicycle.



10 Aug 2018 18:05:50
Well looks like we will be able to buy the new rangers top from Fraser's.



10 Aug 2018 21:52:46
He already had shares in frasers, just owns them out right now.



10 Aug 2018 17:45:52
Montreal must be gutted missing out on hodson and getting bacary sagna instead. Talk about a near miss.



10 Aug 2018 19:26:34
They could've got windass🙊🙈.



10 Aug 2018 17:34:32
I'm surprised a good English team didn't come in for Fodderingham. He's a good goalkeeper. We now are top heavy on goalies and not a spot for young McRorie.



10 Aug 2018 17:42:19
goalies are the backbone of any team . shagger has a dodgy back so a back up of fod and alnwick is awesome. mcrorie will get his chance.



10 Aug 2018 16:15:43
is Flanagan injured or suspended. don't see him on the first eleven.



10 Aug 2018 17:43:07
so a disagree means he is available then.



10 Aug 2018 18:03:36
I’m sure the starting 11 hasn’t been made public yet, that was a probable team u have seen.



10 Aug 2018 19:28:00
Was the game not last night and flanagan played, am confused🙃.



10 Aug 2018 20:12:35
He’s talking about Sunday’s game I assume.



10 Aug 2018 21:11:50
Gerrard might be trying something out on Sunday as Flanagan can't play against Maribor due to three bookings in the tournament.



10 Aug 2018 15:19:30
According to SG Josh Windass went to Wigan to to become a number 9 so I guess we’ll see if he can cut it as a striker I said this before I think he may do quite well at CF.



10 Aug 2018 18:04:43
Wont be there number9 am sure will grigg is better than him.



10 Aug 2018 15:18:59
Don't quite get people blaming Morelos for his off side goal. He had run in to force keeper to clear the ball when Candias picked it up. More poor decision making from Candias than Morelos. Candias can see Morelos is off side and should either have taken the shoot on or drove in further for a square pass. Let's take the positives from the game and focus on Sunday as it was a fine performance from a newly assembled team. No matter what level you play at players will have off games but the difference this season is every game we have at least 7-8 having solid games compared to 2-3 last season.



10 Aug 2018 16:22:05
Agree orange Tam, I do think it was more candeias' fault for passing to him when he was clearly offside. I did think at the time though that when the goalkeeper list possession that you could see it was going to go to Candeias and atm Morelos should have tried to get back onside but not to worry. Although I think 4-1 would have finished the tie, I now think we will need to score over there as I think they will also score.



10 Aug 2018 16:28:11
Typical lack of awareness by candeias.



10 Aug 2018 17:27:53
Bgate w, candieas has been a stand out for us, when you say typical you are suggesting this is a regular trait, your claim couldn't be further from the truth👍.



10 Aug 2018 18:15:13
I don't question his work rate, which should be a given anyway and yes he's had a few decent games but in my opinion he lacks quality with the ball in final third.



10 Aug 2018 18:17:41
Candieas should have buried it.



10 Aug 2018 20:51:40
Lacks quality in final 3rd. Most assists in Scotland last year.



10 Aug 2018 23:15:35
Come on boys we can’t be 100%, 100% of the time.



10 Aug 2018 13:35:02
Get the feeling reading various posts that Ovi Ejaria is destined to be the new Josh Windass in terms of splitting the support on his merits and value to the team
I hope not we seem to be getting back to the team ethos of the 9 in a row era and hope the boy gets a chance
On the giving a chance I'm glad to see Morelos getting back his mojo seems to be more of a team player in the last few weeks
Credit where it's due.



10 Aug 2018 16:25:43
Think Ejaria has everything required to eventually develop into a top player, just don't see it happening this season. Hope I'm wrong though.

Feel the same about Kent.



10 Aug 2018 16:48:01
I think ejaria will be a decent addition if he's used correctly. My impression is he'll be good value when the teams doing well but not sure I'd turn to him in a crisis.
Kent looks a bit rough round the edges, he tries things that maybe he shouldn't but his enthusiasm is first class. He looks like he'll keep trying things all game and he does have a bit of quality to make things happen. It's amazing what a wide player who's willing to take a defender on can achieve.



10 Aug 2018 17:15:33
Jesus guys they should all get a chance. Its really doors and we're playing some great football. Ejaria and Kent are young players that have energy in abundance and if SG puts them in the team then I get behind them for the whole game not just when they do well. Let's not drain the confidence out of young players by moaning and groaning at every stray pass.



10 Aug 2018 17:19:45
I think when we've got plentry of ball he'd do well. I wouldn't play him next week in the midfield 3 hopefully jack is fit if not mcrorie give us a bit more solid shape about us.



10 Aug 2018 17:32:42
Ejaria just needs a bit more composure, and too release the ball a bit earlier and he should come good. He has talent, that's obvious. His work rate is good too. Kent looks a great addition, great performance last night and as someone said plenty of energy and very direct👍.



10 Aug 2018 23:21:56
Agree frustrated.



10 Aug 2018 13:18:02
Guys does ny1 know if we have an option to buy on any of our loan signings? In particular coulibaly the guy could become top class under SG.



10 Aug 2018 12:33:29
I think Arfield was fantastic last night gave everything. going to be a big player but one of those who don't get the headlines.

Anyone think if solanke comes in morales might drop back a position thought he was better at running and attacking defenders.



10 Aug 2018 12:48:54
He is soo rounded as a player. I really enjoyed his performance and his work ethic is outstanding.



10 Aug 2018 12:58:30
Not sure what game you were watching. Yes he ran about but too often he was in space instead of close to the opposition. Not sure if him and Ejaria are a good fit together.



10 Aug 2018 13:05:21
Think the same about Arfield, a quietly consistent player who will get 7/ 10 ratings in most games. Just what we’ve needed in midfield after the last few years.



10 Aug 2018 14:10:14
Worked his socks off but he was very sloppy.

Probs the worst player for us, but he still had a decent game.



10 Aug 2018 16:49:16
Solanke will not be a Rangers player. SG dismissed this again.



10 Aug 2018 17:34:19
Arfield was tremendous last night👍.



10 Aug 2018 12:05:53
Easily tavs best game in a rangers shirt lastnight, the whole team stepped up after half time and Alfredo looks like he has his swagger back! The only downside was ejaria, Gerrard and co need to work hard in training and get him passing and moving, dunno why ejaria thinks he can just stop the play and take 90 touches when surrounded by opposing players, I just wanted to grab him and shake fudge out of him, can't wait til back is back! I think we need another cm brought in this month, a striker, a cb and another explosive type winger then we'll be sorted!



10 Aug 2018 12:20:09
*Jack is back lol.



10 Aug 2018 12:22:24
why slate a guy that's good he shows he's skilful and not scared to show it. Maybe SG said to him u be out playmaker break up the play and control the midfield. to me the guy was good last night. as a team we played great.



10 Aug 2018 13:00:29
Because Fifaguy Ejaria seems to like his wee flicks and tricks. Sometimes tho he should just make the safe pass. I worry that him and Kent are going to be more concerned about showcasing their skills than playing for the team.



10 Aug 2018 13:08:16
I agree about Ejaria, I’ll give him time to settle in though but he does seem very lackadaisical sometimes and give the ball away to cheaply. Now I know why the auld das at my football games when I was younger would get raging when players tried fancy wee flicks all the time and give the ball away. I’m doing the same when Ejaria does it. It’s fine if we’re a few goals ahead but he does it all the time.



10 Aug 2018 13:24:49
That's exactly it, there's a time and place for wee flicks and tricks, like 4 nil up against aye untied lol there was no need for it lastnight just do the job and see the game through, ejaria was caught out too often and needlessly gave the ball away, and every other game he's played in for that matter, he clearly has talent but for me he needs to sharpen up tenfold.



10 Aug 2018 13:34:09
so do all players that have a bit of class they show it. just because he doesn't do what we won't him to do don't make him bad. we should be encouraging it. we as fans always have bad words about players. last year was Pena now it's erjia. we should be cheering them on giving them confidence.



10 Aug 2018 15:25:46
Thought he was good last night personally. Showed for the ball all game and tried to dictate play.



10 Aug 2018 16:32:59
I'd say Ejaria was decent last night, he's a good player, not afraid of hard work either but seems to hang onto the ball a little too much and rarely does the easy pass when he really should more often.

I've no probs with the lad but think he needs to do more getting into the fast moving high pressing ethic of the team.



10 Aug 2018 11:00:11
Anyone think windlass will be replaced? If so by whom?



10 Aug 2018 13:01:16
The 2018 hide n seek champion maybe? 🤔.



10 Aug 2018 13:29:54
I thought Windass was the 2018 hide n seek champ?



10 Aug 2018 14:51:40
Parky. That’s impossible mate. Windass is the 2018 hide n seek champion 🤣🤣.



10 Aug 2018 15:44:59
One thing o won't miss is people calling him windlass!



10 Aug 2018 10:10:11
Lads here's a question for you, when Jordan rossiter is fit again, where does he fit in? Thought rangers were fantastic last night and would have been even better had Ryan jack been in for ojaria! Solanke and a decent centre back in and branda is sweating I think! Each Saturday we follow! #let's go.



10 Aug 2018 10:38:40
I would love to have rossister fully fit, he'll have to work hard to get in the team. This is the final year of his contract I believe, sadly he could be gone if his injuries persist.



10 Aug 2018 10:48:54
Coldo
Would you still not have Morelos in your starting eleven?
The guy was immense last night.



10 Aug 2018 12:50:20
Rossiter has another 2 years on his contract. He won't come straight in and will have to fight and wait for his slot. Ryan jack I imagine will come straight back in for ejaria. Looking forward to his partnership with coulibally this season.



10 Aug 2018 15:40:11
Surely we must try and offload Rossiter! Boy obviously had potential but will never cut it and it’s a shame🇬🇧.



10 Aug 2018 17:37:13
Yip, it would be hard to leave out morelos, he was immense last night👍.



10 Aug 2018 23:27:48
Adam, Brenda is sweating now. the manks are kacking it i believe. I heard them talking today.

10 Aug 2018 09:43:20
Hi guy off topic I am going to subscribe to rangers tv it not sure which device I can watch it though any ideas?



10 Aug 2018 10:25:47
I watched last nights game on my Ipad and it was perfect. You could watch it on a laptop and get yourself HDMI lead to connect to your television or VGA and separate audio cable if it's an older laptop.



10 Aug 2018 14:17:02
Watched it via the website on our xbox last night, and it was perfect on that too. £5.99 well spent.



10 Aug 2018 08:58:01
Where to start last night. I haven't been that impressed with a rangers side for some time. We controlled pretty much the whole game and our pressing was something else. Though its hard to pick out individuals last night I thought alfredo morelos was top notch and if he can make performances like that happen more frequently it would be easy to see why large transfer fees have been touted for him, I thought he was unplayable at times last night. Other individuals worth noting would be Coullibaly who was a machine aswell as the 2 centre halfs who looked calm, and comfortable all night. Also worth noting that Candieas was superb, he had a 10 min blip before half time but came back out and worked his arse off all night.
As for the manager we went in after conceding at a bad time against run of play and then looked shaky for 5 mins. Yet we came out looking energised and back to our best. Hat has to go off to him for whatever he has said to get the players back up as at other times over the past years we would have crumbled.
Best atmosphere I've experienced at ibrox for quite some time and I am super excited for the season ahead now. Hopefully get a clean sheet and win by at least 2 goals on Saturday vs st mirren to keep the confidence high.



10 Aug 2018 09:18:07
Spot on dunfermlineloyal, thoroughly enjoyed that performance and that is the best team we have had for a good few years, and the scary thing is this team has only been together for a few weeks. Can only get better. Onwards an upwards.



10 Aug 2018 09:22:04
DL, let’s get one thing straight here. They will be better than anyone we play in Scotland this season with the exception maybe of the tramps. Its the best I’ve seen a Rangers team perform in years. Not only that but to be buzzing about snapping into tackles in the 90th minute just shows how fit we are. I couldn’t pick a MOM last night as I thought everyone played a part but a special mention to Tav. Best game in a blue jersey last night for me. A bit more composure in front of goal and the tie would have been out of sight. Its hard not to get excited but I’m feeling something special might happen this season.
Chooo, chooo. all aboard the Steve Gerrard train to 55!🇬🇧.



10 Aug 2018 09:38:32
Chooo, chooo😂😂.



10 Aug 2018 10:29:35
I think everyone got a taste of the past last night which we've all been craving for the last 6-7 years. I was buzzing for hours after the game, couldn't sleep and feeling the effects at work today! Absolutely right what is being said, we will only get better and that lot from the other side bloody know it. We will have dips but for the first time in years i have serious confidence in my team. let's go.



10 Aug 2018 10:51:58
Dunfermlineloyal. Good post mate, only Rangers play St Mirren on Sunday.



10 Aug 2018 08:57:19
Last night was absolutely FANTASTIC. The fans more than anyone deserved that. I’m hoping all the doubters are now realising that Gerrard and his team are no mugs! I see the give Murty the job posters are all but gone 😂 KEEP THE FAITH, THE BANTER YEARS ARE OVER 🔴⚪️💙.



10 Aug 2018 12:09:58
Mon the Murty crew 😂😂.



10 Aug 2018 15:04:05
dazrfc lol.



10 Aug 2018 07:59:17
I see hibs have just got Emerson Hyndman on loan from Bournemouth.



10 Aug 2018 08:54:37

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 10th August 2018



10 Aug 2018 06:02:08
The feeling this team are giving us all is one that has been missing for many years! What a result last night.

I think Gerrards got into the heads of every player and the mentality he has instilled is showing.

Cannot wait to see what this season brings. let's go.



10 Aug 2018 06:24:47
Just to reiterate what your saying
DanBoy. I was absolutely buzzing coming away from ibrox last night.
The intensity of our overall performance, especially the 2nd half was tremendous to witness! Our ball retention was excellent. We've got to remember, that our manager steven gerrard has only just started building a team here! I think under stevie G, gary mac, michael beale etc,
we will get better and better and maybe, without getting too carried away, we can stop the eastend mob in their tracks and bring the league title home and back to its rightful place! I truly think now, we having the makings of a very good team and a terrific young manager, in steven gerrard! let's GO!



10 Aug 2018 08:38:40
Did you just copy and paste a comment for last season and just change the word "Murty" to "Gerrard" Coop mate? 😉.



10 Aug 2018 08:58:49
Agreed Coop, it looks very promising, however; I don't want to set my expectations too high. I just want to see good play all season, tight at the back and hopefully Alfredo finding the net over 20 times.



10 Aug 2018 09:30:17
😂😂😂near choked on my roll snell.



10 Aug 2018 09:40:52
Snell 👏👏👏😂.



10 Aug 2018 05:16:06
I think it just goes to show that the coaching set up and the mental side of the game is so important in the modern area. The players seem to be playing for the manager and it has been a long time since I have seen players play for the shirt rather than to put themselves in the shop window.

Say what you like about Tav’s faults but the passion for the club oozes out of him and has done for a while now and it is that passion that infects his team mates and the crowd.



09 Aug 2018 23:46:44
Outstanding performance, morelos tav koulibally unbelievable. Defensive was solid again. Candieas was class, I'll tell you now there is no way windass would have performed the way candieas did, to suggest at any point windass would have played before candieas is utter nonsense. We are two players away from being top drawer. Great night.



10 Aug 2018 05:12:21
Windass and Candieas are two different players and to be honest I have found both equally frustrating and fantastic at times. I think Candieas’s work rate has won Gerrard over but let's not dig at past players, without Windass’s goals where would Rangers have finished last season?

Onwards and upwards. Katic and Goldson are the best CB pairing in Scotland by far.



10 Aug 2018 06:29:08
Poseidon, windass of course had talent, but not the full package it takes, to play for the famous glasgow rangers mate! He hid in games constantly and you actually wondered if he was actually playing! No dig from me on an ex player now, but not disheartened he's away! He most certainly ain't what steven gerrard is looking for, that's for sure!



10 Aug 2018 07:54:06
Agree Coldo on most of what your saying but we would've been easily 5th place without Windass and not playing in the Europa So he does deserve credit where it's due

Great result though mate 👍🏼.



10 Aug 2018 09:46:56
That was some blow out kaz you had yesterday, "Too all the windass haters, get it right up you's, he's staying"🙃😞, lucky for you am in a great mood today and will see your out burst as desperation for the upper hand due to the hiding you have taking the last few days. I will leave you be👍😂.



09 Aug 2018 23:35:37
That is the first time in a long time I have heard our home support absolutely buzzing during such a tense period of a tight game. Just after the penalty in the second half we had a really good spell of possession and pressure and rather than tension coming from the support we were all signing and roaring the team on. Terrific support and night and day compared to the home game against Shkupi. There's a definite optimism from the fans and credit to the gaffer and player for creating such a welcomed feeling. it's been a while 😂.



10 Aug 2018 06:34:52
That’s the way the atmosphere should be at every home game, Kat night The was frightening at times 💙⚽️❤️.



10 Aug 2018 06:57:09
Last night the noise was frightening at time☝️.



09 Aug 2018 23:18:18
I think Tav showed a few of us what we would miss if he left. Yes there are weaknesses, but the positives he brings far outweigh the negatives.

A real standout performance.

McG - 8
Tav - 9
Gold - 8
Katic - 7.5
Flan - 8
Couli - 8.5
Arf - 6
Kent - 6
Ejaria - 5 not good enough tonight and too deep.
Candy - 7
More - 9.5 best game yet, really starting to stand up and shut up the doubters.

Great result, still work to do, I'm not convinced by our midfield. Really missed Jack.
