Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

My gut feeling is we may cash in on McKay this summer, however, I believe we have a ready made replacement in youth ranks in Atekayi, he notched both goals in win over hearts and the lad has pace in abundance. Beerman looks like he's going to be a player and tho Bates has been shaky he's got 2 clean sheets to his name and brought out the player Wilson was always meant to be! Let's give a few more of the youth a chance in final league games as only game that matters is the semi.
Others I reckon we may cash in on is Waggy, M OH, Kiernan, Forrester (hopefully Warburton is still blinded by them) .
Miller and Hill should be given a years deal with youth coaching as part of deal 👍🏼.



13 Apr 2017 08:06:53
Don't know how much we can cash in as he only has a year left and has knocked back a new deal and to say he has been rubbish is an understatement. If we can't get something half decent I'd let him rot for a year as he hasn't shown up for the last couple of years anyway



13 Apr 2017 09:58:04
Hopefully Pedro can over time make Barrie a more consistent player because let's face although at his best he has bags of talent, most games he is frankly mediocre.



13 Apr 2017 10:03:11
We camn cash in with a year its 6 month an we get pdnnies



13 Apr 2017 17:19:34
The problem is Scotty123, King wants a quick fix, whether he gives Pedro the money remains to be seen but there are a few more players i would add to your list, Halliday (not good enough) , Windass (too inconsistent and injury prone), Garner (do i need to say anymore), Senderos (released), there are too many squad players who unfortunately are playing in the team just now, Holt, Dodoo, Tavernier, Hodson, Wilson and yes, even Wallace, we should be looking at a better standard and i know money dictates who we sign, this is just my opinion.



13 Apr 2017 17:23:04
Get shot now. We will still get £2m for him. Take the money and ta ta Barry. Too inconsistent.



13 Apr 2017 17:30:48
He's our best player with more ability than the rest combined. Why do people want to sell our best players but keep the deadwood.



13 Apr 2017 18:53:31
Dodoo would replace mckay no problem, never mind any youth player. In 5 mins at aberdeen dodoo had a goal and an assist. When was the last time we could say that about mckay. Dodoo has to get a run of games.



14 Apr 2017 16:42:27
That 5 minute spell against Aberdeen is all we have seen from dodo. He came on against celtic and physically ran away from the ball, he has the most to prove in that entire squad.



12 Apr 2017 21:31:47
Players that I would love to get rid of this summer,
Waghorn
Garner
Kiernan
McKay
Forrester
O'halloran

Maybe offer hill one more year, definitely keep miller

Try and get rossiter and cranjcar fit.

That would get us money and free up big part of the wage bill, but only if some other club wants them.



12 Apr 2017 21:38:33
A fit kranjcar would be a massive player for us next season. Wondering if rossiter will ever find full fitness. Hill and miller should definitely get another year. Bring in a winger, striker (maybe 2) a right back, a defensive midfielder and a central defender



13 Apr 2017 15:44:28
Here's the players i would like caixinha to sign for rangers in the summer! Aberdeen holding midfielder ryan jack, vladimir weiss/ jamie walker wingers, christophe berra centre half, sumalia centre half, a class striker! I agree JD90,niko kranjcar if back to full fitness will be tremendous for us, the guy is a class act, there's no doubt about that! Jordan rossiter can be a big player for us, if we can get him fit! I'd most definitely give both kenny miller and clint hill, one year contracts!



13 Apr 2017 15:46:47
IF we can have a fully fit Krancjar AND Rossiter its 2 new quality signings! Really feel for Rossiter but still think its odd that our medics didn't see anything during medical OR Warbs knew but took the gamble! Its astonishing as the lad was playing for the England Development Squad when we signed him! Anyways having him and Nico hungry and in shape will be fantastic!

Regarding Transfers I can see us doing a few deals that include a player plus Fee, players like O'halloran Forrester Halliday may go but these deals will be for up and coming players at Clubs either in the SPFL or Lge One. Do you think that these players have done enough to merit any interest from elswhere? Wish this wasnt the case but Halliday etc will be off to Clubs like Bury.

If these players dig there heels in over wages then the only other option imo is to loan them out recouping as much in wages as we can as paying them off is something I do not want to see us doing. Think Waghorn may generate some interest and i'd let him go for 500k and got a feeling Warbs may come in for Tavs.

We could offer Kiernan or O'halloran as part of a deal for say someone like Patterson or Crawford BUT will they go due to money we may need to actually give outgoing player a pay off which i think we will do!



13 Apr 2017 17:17:13
Would like to think we will told more about Rossiter and how he is with his injury but prob most likely that we'll know what's happening if the lad is involved in our pre-season.

Also heard that Crooks got injured but no news as to how serious, totally agree about the involvement of the younger lads and if we see Atayaki Burt and the other lad who was on the bench against the sheep get game time on top of Bates and Beerman would be fantastic.

To have 5 players involved and all 5 to perform well to stake a claim could not come at a better time! Also to get these players in the first team and stay there would be great for the future of our squad.

To build a team of players from that age obviously need a mix of experience in there too would mean having a solid squad on the pitch, I know its a bit soon but we cannot afford to let these guys go especially for a fee that in 3-4yrs time could be so very different.

This may too make Glamour think about leaving as this could be the makings of a very good TEAM and having the likes of Miller Hill and Krancjar would surely help these guys.

Caixinha must make sure that if these lads have potential that they are not only signed up but have decent minimum fee clauses in their contracts to stop cheeky Premier League and Championship clubs offering 500k-1m for a player, as this sum of money is a pittance to them.

its far too easy for these clubs to offer 2-3 times the amount weekly wages to up and coming players. So with fingers crossed the intro of these 5 players will save us money on transfers to then use on a better calibre of player.



13 Apr 2017 17:19:59
Kranjcar will not play for Rangers again. Caixinha won't be interested in a player who is returning from serious injury and nor should he be. We need a strong squad next year with no passengers. Kranjcar is a special player but i fear he won't figure in our plans



13 Apr 2017 18:48:23
Clint hill should never get a new contract.



13 Apr 2017 22:51:17
I'd let Hill go as well, he's average at best and its only because the other CBS are so bad he's looked slightly better. if we could get 2 good CBS in and Wilson can keep up his recent good form i'd be happy.



14 Apr 2017 16:55:55
Can't believe someone wants to sign berra. He's well past his best.

Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, It's All About The Rangers



12 Apr 2017 18:30:09
Ok lads, a wee bit of fun. As Caixinha has hinted he will buy Scottish. let's see your Budget squad from around Scotland that you would. No current players and certainly no timmys!

Ill start.

Joe Lewis

Callum Paterson
Liam Lindsay
Michael Devlin
Tony Gallagher

Chris Cadden
Ryan Jack
Kenny McLean
Jamie Walker

Louis Moult
Jason Cummings

Subs: Zander Clark
John Souttar
John McGinn
Sam Nicholson
Ali Crawford
Bjorn Johnsen

there is the odd name thrown in there to make up the numbers but it was fun.



12 Apr 2017 19:24:11
The only two that might make a difference for me are Calum Patterson and Ryan Jack. I would like to think that with Caixihna's connections that we will sign quality players from Portugal and South America, (Mexico being a prime example)!

We will not overtake Celtic with players like John McGinn, Zander Clark and Michael Devlin



12 Apr 2017 20:58:56
I would like Ped to go for Miguel Veloso he's a DM and his contrat expires this summer, wee bit old but way better than Halliday. He played under Pedro in Sporting Lisbon.



12 Apr 2017 21:24:29
Clark

Patterson
Souttar
Lindsay
Shinnie

Walker
Mallan
McLean
Elliot

Cummings
Rooney



12 Apr 2017 21:42:27
Totally agree Ajax, he's a cracking player. Only 30 so still a few good years left in him.



12 Apr 2017 21:28:22
It was not suggesting we go for them all. Just a wee bit of fun.



12 Apr 2017 21:29:02
The only one I would take out of that is Cummings! As TOMUSA says we won't catch Celtic with that group of players! We need to think outside the box and go foreign and hopefully produce a few gems that way.



12 Apr 2017 21:33:36
John mcginn is a cracking young player, who will only get better the older he gets, I don't know if you get many Scottish championship games out in the us of a but hibs don't look the same team without him and the boy is only 21, rangers would be lucky to get him .



13 Apr 2017 15:55:57
Budget scottish squad? The likes of patterson cummings jack cadden would all command 1 million pound transfers. As would rooney.



13 Apr 2017 18:49:42
Mcginn is awful. Doesn't even look good in the championship. All this hype just like Stephen before him because of who their grandad is. John mcginn isn't half the player halliday is and he isn't very good either.



13 Apr 2017 19:21:44
Fab, I don't usually find myself agreeing with you, but I agree with your last post 100% mate. I have post on here on a couple of occassions about John McGinn. He is a fine young player and in my opinion one of the best young Scottish talents just now. a lot of my fellow bears can't see past the end of their nose when it comes to him and its because of two reasons; 1, He is a Hibs player and 2, and more importantly he is a Celtic fan.



13 Apr 2017 22:41:51
We don't see Scottish Championship games in the US, but the problem, as we are seeing with Rangers this season, it is a different ball game when you are playing against SPL sides or are playing in Europe.

What we do see in Texas is a lot of South American games, Mexican League games in particular, and there is a lot of quality on show. Good players with a bit of dig and hopefully Pedro knows a few of them!



12 Apr 2017 17:48:03
Wallace looks good when Mckay is on form. You can't expect him to carry Mckay.



12 Apr 2017 18:24:37
Why not? McKay must only weigh about 7st! I reckon I could carry him.



12 Apr 2017 20:06:38
Wallace has been average all season



13 Apr 2017 15:45:06
Laudrup1, to be fair to our captain lee wallace mate, he's looked as if he's been carrying an injury all season! The guys i sit beside at ibrox have all been saying the same, for months now!



12 Apr 2017 17:18:17
Anybody think we should offer wee bit if cash plus MOH to hearts for jamie walker?



12 Apr 2017 17:33:54
Good deal for us dunno what hearts would think



12 Apr 2017 21:36:34
Hearts would be crazy to swap moh for walker. Walker has end product and scores goals. moh doesn't



12 Apr 2017 17:14:00
To all fellow bears! Does anyone think we should try and sign aberdeen winger niall mcginn and would he sign for us? what's the thoughts and possibility of this? I think he's a very good player and would be exactly what we need! His northern ireland and performances in scotland verify that!



12 Apr 2017 17:26:30
He is away to hearts after the season finishes I'm sure Supercoop.



12 Apr 2017 17:47:10
Would prefer Ryan Jack who would be a good addition as holding central midfielder.



12 Apr 2017 21:30:39
Mcginn is crap there are far better players in scotland than him, hayes, walker, Nicholson. Danny Swanson is better than mcginn.



12 Apr 2017 10:44:09
Does anyone who sees the youth teams regularly have an opinion on whether or not Atakayi or Burt are ready for first team? Great to see Beerman and Bates getting minutes, but heard more promising things about these two, and we could do with some pace and creativity.



12 Apr 2017 21:09:18
I've watched a few of the games and Burt is outstanding near enough every time. In all the games I watched it was Burt who makes the largest impact/ the telling pass or the goal on most occasions for the u20s. Atakayi has only recently hit a decent bit of form but he's rapid and got good feet, started to put on a bit muscle too. another one to watch out for Barjonas



12 Apr 2017 21:06:29
Physically i think Burt could handle it and from what I've read and heard about Atayaki he sounds like a craxking player although i ain't seen him in the flesh, hope both get a shot.



12 Apr 2017 21:10:28
Haven't seen a lot of either although heard a lot of good things about atayaki. I believe he got a double earlier this week. What i would say though is to truely measure the lads capabilities they need to either be playing reguarly in the 20s or at the very least training with the 1st team. Its a massive jump from performing well at 15s under 19s evens 20s to being a pick for the 1st team. Whether Caixinha uses the rest of this season to focus on that and the lads personal development i'm not sure. Ones for the future though.



12 Apr 2017 21:12:19
I believe that both of these boys are better than some players currently in the first team squad and could be promoted, but we already have a rather young squad. I think that promoting them to the senior squad now with a view to bringing them on next season would be an astute plan, provided we sign some good pros in the 26-30 bracket to become the nucleus of the team. This is the area in which we are severely lacking.



12 Apr 2017 21:14:54
Ive seen the youngsters play about 7 times this season. a couple of games were in the Scottish youth cup early on when hardy scored a hat trick and I think barjonas is probably the next midfielder to step up physicaly. he is ready and he has similar qualities to mckay with passing burt may be too light weight not seen atakayi so much as he was always a late sub but has blistering pace.

I would say mccrorie from the back was stand out a good 4 out of the 7 games as the best player he could fill any position across the back 4 and impressed by him also there's a boy upfront called rudden. I think that's his name he bangs them in for fun but may be a few years away for him was impressed by mccrorie, barjonas and rudden also burt as well but think he should maybe stay with the youth at the moment just my opinion lol



12 apr 2017 21:18:14
they seem a bit lightweight to me.
only see what i can on rangers tv though



12 Apr 2017 21:31:54
Josh Jeffries is quite the player.
