I have Banter for you...

Celtic have a nicer kit. Lets have a Banterment!

That will be the same kit as last year and the year before and the year before that and so on! Funny thing is you mugs buy it... WATP

I suppose u think the rangers strip changes drastically every season??

You can distinguish between rangers strips season to season

Don't kid yourself on mate! So u can distinguish between plain blue season to season haha.. No teams traditional strip ever changes that much!

Am a Teddy Bear with wrinkles and short grey hair, every year Rangers put out the same shirt and that's not fair, Celtic with their bumble bee strip and different ideas leave this old bear in rage with tears.

Come on Rangers show a bit of Imagination

WIZARD

Nike make the best strips! Umbro is cheap crap lol

I don't understand people , we are in the spl which isn't going to attract the bigger names in our game , I don't think any decent player from any big clubs in Europe would come , I don't think the prospect of going to Inverness in December will be appealing , we need to get fringe players from team in the epl , I know we all want the superstars but they days are gone , so let's get real here , Conway , cammy bell , are a must for me as squad players , need a midfielder that can score 10-15 goals a season and another wide player and 2 centre halfs , I will give ally my backing as he knows what the club is about But he has to spend wisely and hit the ground runing

Finally a rangers fan with sense unlike the ones talking rubbish on the viila page and good news ceullar is coming back your way god knows why you all rate him so highly

Cueller has been played out of position for the majority of the time he has been at Villa, as a central defender he was outstanding for us and im sure if he had been given a run at centre back then he would have been one of Villas top players, COME HOME CARLOS! {Ed001's Note - to be fair he did get a run at centre back, he was such a top player that Villa went out and bought Dunne and Collins to replace him.}

Most of the stupid transfer rumours on this forum are put up by fans of 'that other Lot' , I suppose to make their La la fantasy transfer targets less idiotic.

As for Ceullar at Villa , you have never played him in his right position.

Try and watch the Fiorentina v Rangers in the Europa semi final , He was immense that night at Centre back , his true position.

I agree but the future I think for us is getting the hot prospects in europe and beyond before the Big Guns do.
Hopefully Cueller comes back, as you said, that semi final every sentence from the commentator end with, "Cleared by Cueller...again"

I really like the look of this lad Hemed Tommer (Spelling*). With him and Jellybeans up front and McGregor, Cueller and Bartley or Wilson in Defence, and one top quality midfielder brought in, Celtic shouldn't get a sniff. Especially since their best midfielder is looking to get away.

I can't understand guys Like Kayal, who have been plucked from obscurity and been given the chance to showcase their talent, yet as soon as wee snifter of the EPL comes along they start greetin about more wages or they're off, Big Bougherra is a wee big guilty of it too, but it usually gets blown out of proportion by the media. I think some of these players should have awee bit more loyalty for the old firm especially since we are a direct link and proven stepping stone to the EPL

you gotta here this one sitting in restaurant wiv our lass and just heard scott brown say to one of his party if rangers win another title im looking at moving to the premiership ....how commited is he ......

M8 scott brown is not good enough for the EPL! He is at best a thug and would no doubt get sent off most of the time

I support Rangers and think Scott Brown would walk into most EPL teams out with the top 6 teams easily.

No chance scott brown is pants man.... definetly not a captian. I really do not rate him atawl.

maurice ross, nacho novo, steven smith and chris burke - why would we sign these players ? they were bit part players at best first time round. novo had 2 good seasons then was a bench warmer - were building a team for 4 in a row not signing duds who couldnt cut it first time round. to the guy who said Kevin Muscat would be signing - the guy is retired and a coach - not to mention guff when he was here. Cmon blues be optimistic but be realistic - 4-5 new signings 2 centrebacks, 2 midfielders and a striker. whittiker, davis and mcgregor will sign new contracts - bougherra to leave.

10 Jun 2011 21:02:36
LETS HOPE ALLY SPENDS WISELY , IF WE CAN BEAT CELTIC FOR THE LEAGUE WITH WHAT WE HAD LAST SEASON NO DISRESPECT TO CURRENT PLAYERS JUST THINK WHAT WE COULD DO WITH A BIT OF QUALLITY IN THE SIDE.

10 Jun 2011 18:47:32
Daniel piatti would be a great winger for rangers he plays for almeria in Spain very skilful argentinian and still only 22.

10 Jun 2011 18:22:48
rangers should not let whitaker go he is one of there best players

A take it ure a celtic fan what do u mean one of thare players dont u mean one of our players i smell a rat

10 Jun 2011 18:14:19
Seems like a lot of Celtic fans on the champions page. would have thought there would be enough excitement on the runners up board with the likes of keane and bojan signing for sugar puff teeth at the Glitterdome

10 Jun 2011 17:01:18
'Does Maxi Moralez need a work permit or does he have a euro nationallity aswell as Argentine?'

He has an italian passport so would need no work permit

where do bursaspor get there valuation from? 600 k for whitaker? i think ally shud put a bid of 100k for there highly rated forward insua! lol

Exactly coz he aint worth that

I think they should hav took it he hasnt been good

Two comments from the bitter fans of the perrenial runners up i see

Considering our "mediocre squad" i think whittaker has been very consistant and pitched in with more than a few goals, needed when none of the strikers at the time were on fire, that coming from him being played as a defender when he played midfield for hibs. needs to be cut some slack

10 Jun 2011 15:24:35
i really have to laugh when people comment about maxi morelaz height , its funny 2 rangers best stars were under 5ft5
cast back to klos the smallest goalkeeper , he wasa fan tastic keeper before his injurie , also nacho novo was tiny but still played best football and still a talent in fans eyes , ok he might not be the best at corners but he has wicked feet on him

Both were actually well over 5ft5 in fact was just short of 6ft at 5:11. The point is, a player who is 5:2 may struggle in the SPL. However Messi is small and strong but I doubt moralez is as good lol.

GovanFR

Not as gd.. but hes still classs.. attcking wise he would run circles around that awfull celtic defence.. but maxi is gonna have bogger clubs than us sniffing him trust me!

Novo was not a good player he gave 100% that is all he was a sub simple as that

Nacho Novo had NO quality whatsoever, he was only a fan favourite because he turned down celtic. FACT.

10 Jun 2011 14:34:56
why do so many people come on here and talk a load of rubbish berbatov Santa Cruz tiote players like that will cost too much wages we want Wilson cuellar bartley Vaughan hamed tomer goodwillie Wallace and a few others this is all we know rumors like berbatov are a load of rubbish so stop posting them it might be a rumors page but those are just horrendous guys

10 Jun 2011 14:24:12
If zander diamond plays for rangers next season a think andy goram will be in goals for celtic f*** sake man where do yous get this sh*t , and danny invincible the guys had more than enough time to prove himself in the spl and weve signed boyf and naismith from kilmarnock in the time hes been there why buy him now , use are gluebags

Invincible is not a Killie player anyway any more.He got let go bye St Johnstone, were he was rubbish for half a season.Just like Diamond has been for the sheep.As if we would sign him after being in the team that lost 9 0 to Ceptic.

I'm not a fan of keeping players who say they want to go, so let bougy go. His forays up front have endeared him the light blue faithful, but lets remember he was a replacement for Cueller when we didn't have any money. He came from charlton reserves and we've made him famous so if you want to go bougy, then do one. I've got faith in the scouting system thats brought decent defenders to us consistantly for years . Talk of whittaker going for 450,000 to 1,000,000 is a joke, Bursaspor took advantage of our situation last year and obviously haven't read the papers. Regardless of what people think of him, he can play many positions, is relatively injury free and scores goals. Also, he looks much better with a decent right midfielder in front of him rather than a striker playing out of position on the wing. As for the captain position, if weir goes or only plays a few games, i'm fairly sure it'll be mccullough, he's a die hard ranger, who Walter reckoned was player of the year last season, and thats including being out for a few months. I still think we need two decent centre halves, a left back and a couple of attacking midfielders. I think Bartley, Cueller , Wallace, Conway, Eagles..job done
Bazbear

I think most of us who have common sense realise that mate lol tottally agrea with the whittaker bid.. hes worth at least 3 million!

I totaly agree to be honest if they want to go because i go to the games and im a st holder and i dont want to play for the badge they play for the money so i think we should let bougherra go bring in someone who loves the club cuellar he only left us because the spanish coach told him he didnt have a future with them if he played in the spl , bartley you can just tell this guy is a rangers fan the way he runs out the tunnel to clap the fans people like tht

Gotta laugh at people thinking whittaker is worth loads even if he had not got 1 year left he still wouldnt be worth 2-3 mill take the money an run he is overratted rubbish

K

And i suppose you're gonna tell us Mark Wilson is worth 5 million? Jog on! lol

Hes a really gd player?.. he just broke into national side.. thats put his price up! hes a we bit like messi style wise.. gonna be at least 8 mill for his signature! so forget this 1 lol

10 Jun 2011 11:19:06
to the guy who mentioned bougy partnering granqvist or cuellar and bartley on loan for good measure... bartley would get a starting slot all day long paired with any of those guys! why do folk remain loyal to bougy after all his chat about wanting to leave basically since he arrived. Not to mention his AVERAGE season. The few games Bartley played at the back he looked fast, calm and safe as houses, including in europe.

Here here! i'm not a hater of bougy but he's got delusions of grandure if he thinks he'll top playing for the gers! he's a lucky boy to have had the opportunity at all, cash in while we can I say

10 Jun 2011 09:59:10
All these messages re old players coming back !!!!! what are we thinking what a backword step that would be Ally get your OWN guys in Please please please

Dont think for 1 minute rangers are gonna bring back old players with the exception of cuellar.... allys looking to freshing things up and put his own stamp on team!!

10 Jun 2011 09:14:57
Zander Diomand has not signed for hearts having problems with his medical.. he has raw potential could be future rangers captain!

Zander diamond is a big celtic fan!! So I don't think so he is hated by many at ibrox

He's a die hard septic man and had all sorts of disgusting comments about people and orange b***ards on social networking sites. Im glad this is a banter page cause that is serious banter! future rangers captain... I would'nt have him cleaning sh**e aff ma bits mate.

Ha ha zander diamond has raw pottential? that was like 8 years ago! hes no where near rangers class!

I am a rangers fan who lives in aberdeen and occasionally goes to pittodrie i cant make it to see the mighty rangers and lots of my mates are dons fans and they are glad to see the back of him. HE IS RANK ROTTEN

I know zander and he would never join us , and TBH he no where near good enuf !

Big Zander would be a fantastic signing guys! Weir would nurture his talent and bring his game on leaps and bounds!

ed Can we only sign player on loan or free agents since the Scottish window doesn't open until the end of the month??

{Ed010's Note -This is my understanding and if I'm wrong, I'll soon be corrected. The transfer window opens on 1st July of any given year, hence the reason why most players contracts expire on 30th June.

At this very moment, Rangers can sign any player who is "out of contract" and that includes any player who has been released from their contract.(eg Chris Burke's contract with Cardiff expired on 30th June but an agreement was reached between Burke and Cardiff to mutually terminate it, thus he became a free agent and could sign for any club outwith the transfer window)

Rangers cannot sign anyone on loan until the transfer window opens on 1st July, which is when they can also sign any player for a transfer fee and that includes players from within and outwith the UK.

Due to an agreement between the English FA and the Scottish FA, clubs are allowed to "unofficially" sign players, whose contract expires on 30th June but who haven't been released, from their contract by their club (eg Craig Conway at Dundee Utd). The clubs prepare the new contract, have the new player sign it but hold the registration until the transfer window opens on 1st July. Clubs who do this usually inform their fans of the "new signing" almost immediately.

transfer window opened yesterday, remember our season starts about 3 weeks early this time.I emailed the SFA asking the date the the other week. {Ed001's Note - domestic transfers are different and each FA has its own date for it, Ed010 was referring to the international window.}

Just read this on Rinos twitter page-Mia moglie di Scozia e la mia famiglia e mi piacerebbe tornarci. Attendo le vostre chiamate il signor McCoist

Roughly translates as- My wife and family are from Scotland and we'd like to return, I await your call Mr McCoist

Any thoughts troops?

Were you out on the piss last night by any chance mate?

There are about a dozen Twitter pages for Gattuso and this one only has one tweet!!! I smell poo me thinks!!!

Fair point, not too clued up about twitter and still half cut!
Would be nice to see him get the chance at ibrox he never got the first time around though. don't think it's that far fetched, wouldn't be surprised if it happened

10 Jun 2011 01:21:40
To the guy that said whittaker is terrible... He had the 2nd highest amount of assists for rangers this season.... no bad for a guy that cant cross a ball ehh?

And he scored into double figures the season before last also, i really dont know what the issue is, i feel he is up to the job of playing for rangers but people are welcome to their opinions as the only one that matters is allys

He had a great season the one before last but he was playing right midfield which he suits best but this season he played right back and he cant defend and there is no way he could get a game above davis naismith or weiss at right midfield

Im pretty sure when Whittaker came in at CB when we were struggling for numbers he did a good job! I know he can get caught sometimes but so does papa Weir.Steven is a very versatile player and i would be sorry to see him go, from what i have heard though Super Ally has no plans to sell so this makes me happy!

Although I agree with those who say Whittaker has been an excellent servant to us, especially having played so many positions, I do see where people are coming from when they criticise his defending at times. He is good when he keeps things simple and focuses on his task, but sometimes goes wandering and gets caught with the ball inside him for a winger to chase. This happened in particular against Hearts in our 4-0 win toward the end of the season, when David Templeton gave him a torrid time in the first 20 minutes. He also got caught out a few times against Bursaspor and Valencia at Ibrox by ball watching and allowing the ball to float over his head. However, I stress that I WOULD NOT sell Stevie. These errors can be easily ironed out and the positives from him last season and since he came to us by far outweigh the negatives.

Another point I'd like to make is with regard to the next Captain. Now, the popular choice seems to be Lee McCulloch, and while I don't doubt his credentials for the job, I wonder if it would make more sense for Ally to choose a younger captain, someone who could lead the club for the next 10 years as it's the beginning of a new era under Super Ally. Under these circumstances my choice would be Stevie Naismith, with Allan McGregor as vice. I think Naisy has the attitude, he isn't afraid to moan and shout at players if he feels they aren't playing to an acceptable level. The captaincy wouldn't change him much despite being young, and he reminds me of a young Barry Ferguson in that sense, who took the captaincy in his stride.

Any thoughts on my two points ed?

Cheers.

Steven. {Ed001's Note - I think both make sense, I especially wonder about giving the captaincy to McCulloch, he just doesn't have that strut that is needed, if that makes sense. He doesn't seem to lead the team, not in the way a captain should anyway.}

The new captain will be lee mcculloch, Alan mcgregor or steven davis if weir dosent sign a new contract or as ive heard a lot about signs for Aberdeen

09 Jun 2011 23:28:46
Why are people woried cos if super aly is happy that it covers the cost then so should us
