Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

Ed my post about the 11 v 11 is a good topic of discussion, would be nice to see the general consensus on that sir!



{Ed001's Note - I have been out, this was the first post from you waiting. Well I say been, I am still out sat editing on my phone. But there were no other earlier posts waiting sorry.}

10 Mar 2016 16:12:21
Should we download Ellie Kings stuff as a thank you for mentioning us on one of the most watched US TV shows?

The dhims get enough PR from Gherard Bhutler and the rest of their crew.



11 Mar 2016 02:23:30
What did she say? The girl has some voice and a chassis to back it up :)



10 Mar 2016 15:43:14
Strachans reasoning for not picking Wallace is that he is in the group of players he knows can "do a job".



10 Mar 2016 15:59:33
Of course that's why yes picked proven international class players such as mcginn and Tierney. Makes perfect sense.



10 Mar 2016 16:21:27
Surely Jason Holt has had a better season than John McGinn.



10 Mar 2016 16:23:31
But to be honest I'm not certain I would pick anyone other than Wallace- but I definitely would have McCormack and Rhodes.



10 Mar 2016 16:37:10
Luigi, we must remember he is picking players for a friendly match, really ought to expect young players to be tried, surely, don't want to drift back into the "anti rangers" agenda, plenty of Rangers players have represented Scotland in the past, Tierney has dislodged izzaguerdo from celtic side so must be worth a try.



10 Mar 2016 17:09:08
Tom what about holt and Mckay having great seasons surely worth a look but not for strachan not interested in Rangers players for some reason.



10 Mar 2016 18:25:17
Does it really matter who Strachan picks? He will be out the door in 2 years when Scotland fail to qualify for another tournament.



10 Mar 2016 18:30:13
Unfortunately for Wallace we have a lot of left sided players. Which is probably why he plays a right back In Steven Whitaker in the left back position.



10 Mar 2016 19:30:58
He doesn't pick mcormack or rhodes that tells us everything we need to know about strachan.



10 Mar 2016 19:59:19
Wallace would be in my Scotland team anyday. I think he's the best Left back we have. Robertson is a great wee player and he is getting better every game but for me Wallace is still better.
Holt is also better than McGinn although don't think either should be called up yet. If McKay plays like he has played this year in the SPFL he needs to get picked. I think he will take the next step in his stride having played all those games in the 3rd then championship. Look at Mcarthy and Mcarthur it done them the world of good wae Hamilton. And Roberson to be fair.



10 Mar 2016 17:50:56
Strachan has not been good enough in his time as scotland manager, imho so lt doesn't bother me in the slightest that he has not selected any of our players for the scotland squad, scotlands loss.



10 Mar 2016 22:27:01
He should have been sacked after the Euro failure instead the SFA allows him to be a failure for another 2 years.



10 Mar 2016 14:39:44
just saw the celtland squad. gordon. tierney forrest mulgrew griffith and a host of celtic signing targets fletcher etc. wtf.



10 Mar 2016 16:34:51
Tony watt is also in the squad but Jordan Rhodes and Ross MacCormack left out. Wallace deserves a call up but it ain't going to happen whilst the wee ginger ones in charge.



10 Mar 2016 16:38:47
Signing targets? Get a fxxxxxn grip of yourself man, , get down the lodge and let us football fans. Watch football, unbelievable.



10 Mar 2016 18:08:20
no lodge here mate. oh I forgot brown . and signing targets . fletcher McCormack. need I go on. Strachan is the #1 reason we are not in the euros . coincidentally celtic are also out of Europe. coincidence I think not and how dare you be so bigoted with your lodge statement. never been in one #hamshank.



10 Mar 2016 18:26:33
Deecee

Only have another 2 years to suffer Strachan before he goes after and failure.



10 Mar 2016 19:22:54
Listen boys wallace an maybe holt would only get in sqaud. mackays way off in my eyes. mcormack and rhodes should be in. strachen no the right man for job in my eyes. total failure last campaigne seeded 3rd but finished 4th.



10 Mar 2016 12:58:36
I'd also like to point out Danny Wilson for a call up, we have only conceded twice in our last 10 games.



10 Mar 2016 13:15:48
Im sorry but I don't think Danny Wilson is anywhere near good enough for a call up. He's been arguably our poorest player this season. Yes his form is good atm but a long way from a call up IMO.



10 Mar 2016 14:49:19
Well they are playing great football๐Ÿ˜‚
Seriously I wouldn't expect anything less from strachan. Bit like Ronnie the rocket really, knocked out a major tournament and given a vote of confidence. In Ronnies defence he has proved himself, he managed it three times.



10 Mar 2016 15:55:31
Above reply was for deecees post sorry.



10 Mar 2016 11:27:12
surely Wallace and Mckay deserve a call up?



10 Mar 2016 12:04:35
Did our players get snubbed again then, it's wee Gordon I can't believe nobody saw this coming.



10 Mar 2016 12:47:32
Not surprised in the slightest! Another guy who couldn't pick his nose, or is he afraid of the repercussions from the dark side?



10 Mar 2016 13:37:14
Scotland is one of the few countries where a manager fails, is lauded, and then given a new contract. Huge, huge mistake. We will never get a better chance to qualify.

He did well initially (very well) but faded badly due to over reliance on his wee group of favourites such as mulgrew and Forrest. Not to mention Scott Brown who is completely unsuitable as Scotland captain- the guy is a thug.

Also failed to give a chance to McCormack and Rhodes who are both prolific in English championship and have been consistently over several seasons- they are both 10m+ players in actual transfer fees. Obviously not one of his wee favourites. Same goes for Griffiths who many wanted to be given a chance (I personally don't think he is suitable for international football, in same way as Boyd wasn't) .

Don't hold your breath expecting any rangers players in squad anytime soon let alone in the team. Not going to happen.

Mcginn has done very well for hibs and I did offer the opinion that we should have tried to get him in the summer. However there is a massive gulf in standard between championship and international football. Ridiculous to call him up for senior squad. McLean has done well for Aberdeen so fair enough but he's proved his bias by selecting tiernan- who should be nowhere close to being considered.



10 Mar 2016 13:46:28
I agree Luigi, I would also like to see McLean coming to Rangers in summer, big fan apparently, picking players to go from 2nd teir football in Scotland to senior international game is ludicrous, and shows some people up as knowing nothing about the game,
Tommy.



10 Mar 2016 14:25:12
Listen rangers players not getting picked for Scotland is good for rangers but I must say I feel sorry for the boys themselves as they must wonder what the hells going on after seeing John mcginn getting picked ahead of the players that have left his club behind to fight it out for a play off spot.



10 Mar 2016 14:38:18
When was the last time a 2nd tier player was picked for Scotland?



10 Mar 2016 14:43:39
Are we really that surprised guys? i think it was last season, mulgrew was out injured for 2-3 months, he was still injured and he was picked for Scotland squad, also I agree with the teirney comments, can anyone name a better left back who has consistently performed all season better than Wallace? think we just have to face facts guys, we Gordon has got green and white tinted glasses on. also McGinn at hibs has had more time on his arse than he has on his feet, diving we **** ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.



10 Mar 2016 14:58:41
Graeme shinnie is the best left back in scotland by a country mile.



10 Mar 2016 15:37:24
Certainly best Scottish left back in premier league although I think Robertson at hull is our best left back.



10 Mar 2016 15:44:33
Is that the same shinnie that mcinnes has played in the midfield virtually all season?



11 Mar 2016 08:05:02
Yes it is, but he is still a left back and far Vetter than anything else in Scotland including wallace. Shinnie can defend .



10 Mar 2016 10:46:02
Good to see MW in the times stick up for his players after the comments made by coldo/ chris Sutton recently in the evening times/ rangers banter pages.

MW totally disagrees with the view that has been taken.

compares Leicester team to Man City how many would get into the Man City, its not about the players its about the team!

COLDO before you go on a ranting response, I am just trying to bring some humour to the forum, no hard feelings eh!



10 Mar 2016 11:16:26
No hard feelings at all, You've brought plenty of humour on here with some of your statements.



10 Mar 2016 12:49:37
Well done MW in countering Sutton ' s ramblings. Just enough to put him in his place. Love the way MW uses the media up here. I don't think they've managed to figure him out yet.



10 Mar 2016 13:40:09
Why is our manager so sensitive? Who cares what Sutton has to say - the guy still accuses dunfermline of lying down on helicopter Sunday. Noticed a few times mw seems to get bit wound up over critical comments that should be water off a ducks back.



10 Mar 2016 13:53:06
Your right mate, too many occasions when he has reacted to criticism, he must get used to it quickly because next year could be much worse on the media front, most people know Sutton is a bitter twisted halfwits who cheated his way through Scottish football, while getting far, far too much cash and plaudits than actually deserved, he means nothing to me as a player or person, and if he thinks he knows bout management then maybe he, l get a reference from the fans at the tiny wee club he failed at,



10 Mar 2016 14:02:09
I wouldn't say he overreacts or is too sensitive, he just seems to hate being asked the same question 20x in the one interview, also the media love to put a spin on everything. all the guy does is stick up for his players or shut down stupid questions.



10 Mar 2016 15:44:15
Bang on with the cheating point- his speciality was the backward dive- back into opponent then fall over.

I used to know Scott Wilson socially as I had lots of common friends with him when he played for gers and he said Sutton used to stand on his toes or barge into him when ref wasn't looking.



10 Mar 2016 16:45:25
Sutton is a dog of a person but onlyshow, warbs is paid a lot of money to deal with these sort of tactics from the press, its his job, he will even be provided with media experts to assist him, he is reacting too much, he needs to calm down, do you not see that the halfwit Sutton and hartson have attempted to wind him up lately ? They succeeded, not good enough
Tommy.



10 Mar 2016 16:54:52
Ha! I used to do that myself! And much worse! It's all about timing. Re Sutton - imo you just don't let a halfwit rant on like he does without setting the record straight. You have to fight your corner. And I'd like to see you guys try and keep your cool face to face with the rhat pack. MW is doing a great job in every way but I suppose it's never enough for some people. You'd almost think some of the guys on here would be delighted to see us fail.



10 Mar 2016 10:40:26
On a serious note thou, team for Friday?

Fod

Tav
Wilson
Kiernan or Ball if he suspended
Wallace

Holt
Halliday
Forrester

McKay
O'Hal
King

Miller, Clark, Law, Zal, Shields, and some youth players,



10 Mar 2016 11:49:21
I'm torn on this one. I do believe in using our SQUAD as the fixtures mount up but I think the 11 that started against Dundee have earned another go. This was the best we have played.
How would you feel if you had played that well and didn't keep your spot!



10 Mar 2016 12:02:44
I think McKay will be used sparingly until the celtic game an hour or a sub appearance. Miller will play.



10 Mar 2016 12:03:25
fair point mate, just think MW will mix it up, either way am sure they will put on a show.



10 Mar 2016 12:54:25
I think he will mix it up to make sure all the front men get some game time. We have a real attacking threat from all over the park and we still have Waggy to come back. It's looking great just now. If we can close out the league over the next few games and MW and DW can get the lads really fired up for the OF match I think we can turn them over? I really do. Mind you a few articles from the big farmer and his sidekick, the fat man, should do the trick!



10 Mar 2016 13:18:27
Would be surprised to see miller on the bench.



10 Mar 2016 10:38:04
Chris Sutton, every selik player would walk into Rangers Team, sounds a bit like Coldo and Luigi to me lol!



10 Mar 2016 13:46:19
You've rumbled me - I am actually Christopher Sutton in disguise. In between my media commitments I love nothing more than spending my spare time winding up people such as yourself. It is what gets me out of bed in the morning, it gives me a purpose in life that otherwise is missing.

What a small minded person you are. Getting all worked up because you can't handle other people's opinions. Iv noticed you trolling anyone that disagrees with you- #pathetic.



10 Mar 2016 14:47:57
Give him a day or two luigi, he'll be back with a late comeback. Probably away to sports direct to get a new tracksuit.



10 Mar 2016 15:38:19
Nice one coldo.



10 Mar 2016 16:00:50
proper pair you 2, sports direct, no mate I spend my 5 out of 7 days in my suit working in the city!

like a said, back ma team to the hilt don't care one iota about selick and their players, which is more than I can say for you 2

so you 2 continue with your pessimistic ways, don't like that people back there team more than you do!

Listen to MW, its all about Rangers no one else matters,

uz 2 should take note!



{Ed001's Note - if you don't stop insulting people continually for having different views to yourself, you will be blocked and your account deleted.}

10 Mar 2016 16:23:59
away to SD to buy a tracksuit that not an insult ED? am defending my point of view, that for some reason a few can't accept nothing more nothing less!



{Ed001's Note - I was referring to your constant nasty digs I have been editing out. Not one dig.}

10 Mar 2016 16:35:13
Well said- I'm embarrassed I even responded to his comments.

The irony of me saying MW was a bit sensitive about suttons comments in post above is not lost on me. Perhaps I should take my own advice!

Not to make excuses but I have a really serious operation next week and have a shorter fuse than normal.



10 Mar 2016 17:28:46
A short fuse, for what, me saying I don't care for selick or their players, cause let's be honest that is why we are going round in circles here. you seem to take consideration to other teams and I don't see the relevance in that so how about u except my opinion that we are rangers and we don't care about anyone else! has not done our manager to much harm! And u have drawn a great comparison with the MW CS debate and the Luigi M3LVO debate you being Sutton and me being MW hahahahahh!



10 Mar 2016 17:41:20
Luigi
Hope your op goes well, and your not off these pages for to long, i enjoy reading your posts. Good luck mate.



10 Mar 2016 20:54:30
All the best luigi.



10 Mar 2016 23:48:41
Luigi I've disagreed with a lot of your posts on here, but when it comes to your health that's an entierlly diffrent matter, i hope evrrything goes good for you mate, and wish you a speedy recovery,



11 Mar 2016 14:02:13
Much appreciated guys.



10 Mar 2016 10:33:15
That young left back from Celtic tierney gets picked ahead of waldo? Wallace has Played all bar a couple of games this season and has been excellent. A don't care about Celtic enough to know about tierney but IMO there's no a better left back in Scotland right now than Wallace. and he's been overlooked again. Shame on strachan.



10 Mar 2016 11:22:41
The WJE I totally agree with you, Strachan's true colours ripping out him now, its a utter disgrace, Wallace has played for a major club for years and before us hearts, he is the captain of the biggest team in the country a model pro and a wee bhoy is getting picked before him, if a was Wallace a would be ragging.

Am just waiting on some stupid post on here to remind us that Wallace has been playing in the lower leagues and it would be a risk to put him into international football.

Well before someone posts it, I completely disagree, Wallace is the best left back that we have had in Scotland in a good few years and he has been totally overlooked.

Why cause he got loyalty and stuck with the club that was in his hearts. Guys like Wallace don't come around often now a days.



10 Mar 2016 11:24:13
Strachan really isn't the man for the job, gives Celtic players the chance over English Premier League players. he is a fool and cost Scotland their chance in the Euros. why would Forrest, Brown or any other celtic player get near the international team when we have better quality players out there. the only player I actually agree with is young Tierney. Tierney and Robertson will be the players picked at left back from now on. both young and very good players (Robertson should be first choice though) why on earth he is giving Mcginn the chance and not Barry McKay I'll never know.



10 Mar 2016 11:47:04
The only defence in my eyes to not picking Wallace is he is playing at a lower lever but this is negated by him picking John McGinn from Hibs.
If he is willing to pick from our championship then a couple of our players must be in with a shout!



10 Mar 2016 12:37:40
Read that O'Dea reckons that Tav and Wallace are the best fullbacks in Scotland. This is from a guy that said we should have titles stripped. Enough said really.



10 Mar 2016 12:38:37
Strachan always has and always will be a Rangers hater, if I was Lee Wallace i'd snub any future call ups, just imagine if the same thing that happened to Rangers happened to Barcelona, would that make Lionel messi a bad player, of course it wouldn't.



10 Mar 2016 13:18:21
I can't believe the audacity of Strachan, I could have understood him overlooking our players because they are playing at championship level but to go and pick McGinn! truly unbelievable, he isn't even in the top 4 or 5 Scottish players in the championship. Strachan needs to have a right good look at himself!



10 Mar 2016 13:22:02
Cant quite believe that Tierney has been picked ahead of Wallace. Shocking stuff. From the small pieces that I've seen he is a good player but don't think you can argue that he's nowhere near Wallace, who may I add is having an outstanding season (Arguably his best in a rangers shirt) .



10 Mar 2016 14:52:33
Well said Dunfermline Loyal you hit the nail in the head big time there! Its a joke that Strachan has not selected him!



10 Mar 2016 09:17:04
I've posted a few times about the inconsistencies of our young team and then Dundee. The best football I can remember in my 20 years as a supporter. Yes we have played tougher opponents and perhaps more important matches but in the context of where we are that was special. The third goal would have been raved about by any team.

Celtic have the edge BUT if they keep playing as they are and we can even get close to Saturday's performance they are out.

Who was your man of the match? Very tough choices and me and my mates came up with 5 different choices. I picked young McKay.



10 Mar 2016 10:20:02
I'd of picked Ball tbh. Mckay struggled to get around anything on the left of the pitch and kept running into traffic. Would prefer him on the right. Ball was outstanding, breaking up the play right the way across the back 4. Covered the Wing backs extremely well. read the game. I wish we could sign him up!



10 Mar 2016 12:43:37
Everybody knows I am a fan of Barrie McKay. I've said it often enough on here but tbh it's really difficult to single out one player from last week as we were so good all over the pitch. I thought wee Holt was back to his best. He reminds me so much of Durrant it's unreal. Ball, Wilson, Kiernan and Halliday. Not forgetting Harry and Kenny! Impossible to choose.



10 Mar 2016 17:11:16
Teddyof thesouth: Ball is fantastic, he is what we have been needing.
