Scott Wooton of
Leeds bears, anyone think MW might be interested, he is 24 and by all accounts a good defender, sure he was once a Liverpool academy player also. Went to Leeds for 1m however some problem with his extended contract and he is now out of contract and wants to leave. Any thoughts.

11 May 2016 13:21:07
I think we need someone at the cb position with more top level football experience he is okay but I think not proven to be better than what we have just now which isn't really rangers quality.

See Hardie "back" at Ibrox after loan spell at Raith.

Question asked previously and unanswered?

Is he able to be added to squad for final - given our "sparse" bench in semi?

10 May 2016 20:44:15
Is it a play off semi final at easter road, looks like someone forgot to tell the hibs supporters.

10 May 2016 21:05:03
Just thinking the same mate, I've both teams to score and a falkirk win at 8 to 1 so a falkirk goal i'm a happy bear even so i think falkirk will do them at there park anyway, crowd is pathetic.

10 May 2016 22:12:48
Not seen the recent Hibs games, just followed on radio and live text updates but does anyone think MW and DW might have been a bit hasty in allowing Darren McGregor to leave? He is physically strong, convincing in the air, carries a goal threat from set pieces and if I remember right was fan's player of the year 2 seasons running based on performance commitment and effort. I know he had his limitations but what is it that Kiernan offers that McGregor with a bit of quality coaching couldn't. Feel we might have done the guy an injustice and short changed ourselves into the bargain. What do others think?

10 May 2016 22:54:50
If nothing else a good squad player though listening to players rumours he wanted the move, he's definately got a point to prove otherwise.

10 May 2016 23:11:59
He's playing for the team he supports, I think that was a major factor in the mutual decision made when we parted ways.

11 May 2016 01:13:31
Thanks guys - makes more sense now.

10 May 2016 21:15:19
Yes pb1 and this is the same hibs who demanded and received half the tickets at hampden for the scottish cup final, typical sfa allowing them half, total joke they shouldn't have got anywhere near half as their fans don't attend, you just need to look at their semi-final against dundee utd, poor poor supporters doing class rangers fans out of tickets! There's no way they should have got that amount of tickets, glory hunters!

10 May 2016 19:14:44
Just checked my e mails and to my utter astonishment had 1 from rangers at 14.55 telling me I was successful in the ballot for the cup final. i though ballot was last week and was just getting my head round not being there. still can't believe it absolutely buzzing.

10 May 2016 20:42:23
Result for u.

10 May 2016 23:14:50
Aye very good, for you!

Lol. I hope you have a good view when we win the cup and enjoy the day mate.

10 May 2016 15:51:23
exciting times bears indeed. just imagine the old firm games with warbs and keane opposite each other on the touchline. on a different note and I def will take grief here but I fancy joey barton for one season to toughen us up. out of contract and would relish playing up here. just a thought but he's a tough wee man and that's what we need.

10 May 2016 16:44:31
Warburton would never sign a player like joey Barton, plus we we couldn't afford him also burnley have just been promoted to the premier league so he would be mad to leave them this summer, but I understand were your coming from as he is the type of midfield battler that we need in midfield.

10 May 2016 16:48:42
Keane isn't that good of a manager so I'd welcome that appointment. Way too hot headed and I reckon his ego would get the best of him.

10 may 2016 16:40:18
is keane the new selik manager?

10 May 2016 17:13:34
Is Keane their new manager?

10 May 2016 17:22:14
I would rather they get him than Rogers.

10 May 2016 17:40:18
Joey bartons had a great season.

10 May 2016 17:41:06
Joey Barton is lucky that he's not in jail the way he acts of pitch, his behaviour on pitch isn't much better either.

10 May 2016 18:06:28
Barton is out of contract in the Summer so no signing few needed, athough wages too high i'd imagine.

10 May 2016 22:07:54
The good thing about Keane managing the green gang is he'll leather Broony the hard man instantaneously if any bufter lip is forthcoming.

11 May 2016 12:11:11
people think barton is an animal on the pitch he hasn't had a red card in two years think he has finally screwed the nut and would be a great player to get if we can afford him but no major money has been spent so far so tha must leave more cash in the salary pot!

10 May 2016 12:13:54
I think if we get the boy in from Liverpool we will have secured 3 cracking players so far this summer for next to nothing. Him, Crooks and Windaas are all good enough to go straight into the team.
We need another GK, CB, CF and cover for FB and I'll be happy. Maybe a few other squad players to replace what's going out.
Of all the positions needing filled I'd like to see some real cash being spent on a Striker, a decent one in this team will score plenty. Just hope it's not Graham.

10 May 2016 16:24:07
Recbob

Can't disagree with any of that. Need to spend money on CB and CF to try and get quality. Like the keeper at Hamilton to think he could do a job for us.

10 May 2016 18:25:13
He's a good keeper Biffo, Defo worth a look. I'm confident we'll be good come the end of the summer, to have 3 good players snapped up already is a good sign. Think a bit of experience is still needed though.

10 May 2016 19:35:31
The big Killie keeper always impresses me as well. McGovern would be a good shout too.

10 May 2016 21:44:25
Id go with mcgovern, killie keeper has the odd dodgy moment. really liking the squad were putting together of talented british players all of the same age group its how u build a solid team.

10 May 2016 18:33:43
I don't think we need spend money let's get young hungry striker 8n and he will get the chances.20 year old for 250 grand from epl. score 50 for season then sell him for 10 m with 50% sell on clause.

11 May 2016 12:17:42
I know I might get slated for this but I think the only reason hibs done as well as they have is because of their big keeper mark Oxley. the game they beat us in he saved their arses and I've seen him do that time and time again this season! thoughts?

10 May 2016 10:24:32
Daily Mail seem to suggest that The Liverpool Boy Rosslier is a stick on to sign for the bears on a 4 year deal, £250k compo to Liverpool, been given the tour of Ibrox and MP! Frankie Boy convinced him to come take a look, MW has given him the Vision, and personal terms have been hammered out!

Really hope DM is correct with this one, this boy is a snip for £250K.

Good morning Bears!

A lot has been made about Spurs making a late move for Jordan rossiter and if it is true I wouldn't worry about it too much. The lads 19, i'm sure he's Liverpool under 19 captain and an England under 19 at a vital stage of his carrer (he needs to play) our manager has a track record of giving youth the platform to go and show what they can do. Will he get that at Tottenham who where chacing the league title this year? don't think so . If his agent is worth his salt and his family around about him I think he could be a Ranger very soon .

09 May 2016 23:15:14
Anyone think we should put an offer in for Dunfermline striker Bakhtaoui? He's only 23 saw that Motherwell put a bid in for him a few days a go.

10 May 2016 06:39:24
Would be happy but it's if he can handle the step up in play.

10 May 2016 07:23:23
Seems warbs type but might b getting offered more money down in league one. danny Graham is a high quality striker who would have a point to prove. Lafferty forget it!

10 May 2016 16:25:49
cumming is a tit and would crumble at rangers we need a big solid striker that can hold the call up.
