Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
14 Aug 2015 23:05:40
1st time poster on, having read site for a few years. Good banter and enjoy it. On a different note, I am signed up for the CCS (no not that one) and just realised Rangers charge me £22 for every £15 ticket they send me, apparently to post cost £7!! Anyone else feel a bit ripped off by this?
14 Aug 2015 22:45:05
Scott allan has officially signed for celtic its on sky sports news, I just hope our great fans show why we are the greatest fans around and leave the lad to get on with his move to celtic and not to slate or abuse him on social media sites etc as its his loss not ours as the manager says we only want players who want to play for the rangers jersey
14 Aug 2015 22:51:43
Good luck to the boy. WATP
14 Aug 2015 23:16:28
I for one don't wish him well, if he can't wait 6 months to play for the team he supposedly supports then he can rot in that team for all I care, he's only loyal to where the money lies
14 Aug 2015 23:45:49
Good luck to Scott, We all know where you really wanted to be at, but we all understand you have to look after you're future,
15 Aug 2015 00:33:17
Mark warbutons comments today make no sense, Scott Allan handed in a transfer request on the back of rangers interest in him so to say he didn't want to play for rangers is a complete cop out as he clearly did. The fact rangers pissed hibs off with the level5 pish to the extent they approached Celtic rather than sell to rangers is nobodies fault but the boards. They could have bought Allan if they'd offered a reasonable fee and given the boy a bit of an indication that they had they ambition to back up the spin that comes out on a daily basis. Scott Allan is now a Celtic player because rangers didn't convince him they really wanted him enough
14 Aug 2015 22:09:08
I would like to condemn the hateful msgs that are being sent to SA on social media by so called rangers fans. We were all outraged when Hibs fans abused him so I think it's only right that we should condemn 'our own' when they do the same.
14 Aug 2015 23:11:59
Would love to know the rationale behind those disagreeing.
15 Aug 2015 00:31:30
Im a bit gutted he has gone to them but he is still a young lad with a family to provide for, its a short career and you have to make the most of it I suppose. I won't wish him luck but I understand he did the best thing for him and his career.
15 Aug 2015 00:45:29
Bit gutted to lose out on Scott Allan but I guess it had to happen as he handed is transfer in!
Remember it isn't the players fault it's Stubby who wouldn't sell regardless of the offer from Rangers and right so I guess
Hadn't Rangers had not made a bid I don't think Celtic would have entertained Scott Allan
We have been quite shrewd but we need to be a smarter shrewd offering maybe a Nicky Law or a Darren McGregor might have paved the way but then again, Stubbs was adamant no matter the price!
We just have to kick on now
14 Aug 2015 22:06:20
Scott Alan failed Celtic medical due to not having a back bone
14 Aug 2015 21:38:56
Apparently our next loan signing is going to be a six months deal for arda turan from barca as they can't register him till January says he's looking forward to signing and pumping the hivees and getting it right up big una ff
14 Aug 2015 22:22:59
Oh the bitterness is laughable lol
14 Aug 2015 21:36:05
What do you think Tavernier and Vuckic playing down the right hand side. A good combination. What are your thoughts?
14 Aug 2015 21:33:15
Very disappointing the whole SA saga, but there is only one way to go now. Win the league convincingly and watch Alan Stubbs lose his job.
15 Aug 2015 00:34:01
He was near enough in tears the last time we beat them I dunno if he could handle it emotionally lol :P
14 Aug 2015 21:26:23
The thing that gets me about this whole Allan to Celtic thing is that it seems so short sighted. Allan is obviously unsettled at jobs now. but has the chance to sign a precontract in January with a great chance of Hibs wanting to offload the same month.
Now we find (if the rumours are true) that he'll be loaned back to Hibs for the rest of the season. So rangers in the scenario 6 months of Hibs play but going to Celtic he is looking at the full season back there.
All this comes down to is money. I'm sure if he wanted to go to rangers on January, best mate Halliday could have passed a message for him looking for reasurance he wouldn't be left out to dry. It's his choice but it's a reactive daft one if you ask me.
14 Aug 2015 21:06:38
If sa is a true bluenose and wanted legend status then at the last min he would say no to celtic.how can a gers fan play for celtic or vice versa.i just don't understand myself.good luck to the boy but come on scott be a legend or u never play for the gers ever
14 Aug 2015 22:03:06
Are you suggesting no rangers fan has ever played for Celtic or vice-versa? If so you are deluded.
15 Aug 2015 08:16:47
Not a true rangers fan
15 Aug 2015 09:14:31
Ok. You are deluded.
14 Aug 2015 20:06:45
Maybe This was all part of Warburtons master plan, to offer a fairly derisory amount for Allan to unsettle the player enough to ask for a transfer. Because he was never coming to Rangers where ever he went was to our advantage .Hibs now have a weaker team and will be lucky to finish third.
14 Aug 2015 22:04:07
I think that Hibs are going to be stronger. Henderson seems a good player. Scored for fun in Norway last season.
15 Aug 2015 07:39:08
Scored for fun? 3 goals in 9 games isn't scoring for fun
14 Aug 2015 19:55:26
I guess values have changed over the years. Not that many years ago if you were brought up to be a rangers fan it was in your blood and there would be only one club for you. Unfortunately these days we live in a money driven culture. I would expect Scott Allan's family will be very disappointed. If only he could have waited a few months to fulfill his dreams.
14 Aug 2015 21:38:20
Nonsense post. Kenny Dalglish, Danny McGrain, Murdo Mcleod, Maurice Johnston, Neil McCann, David Moyes, Danny Wilson. That covers a spectrum of 40 years or so, so nothing has changed has it?
14 Aug 2015 22:41:40
My apologies, my nonsense is merely disappointment at the whole SA saga.
15 Aug 2015 10:20:57
Lol, I bet that you are not as disappointed as Scott Allan's family. They must be gutted, and not at your post Reg.
14 Aug 2015 19:51:21
I think the whole Scott Allan thing just goes to show how much nonsense is posted on this site, so many people have friends and cousins of him that have met him this place or that place and said he'll wait till jan and all these deals that have been apparently been accepted and everything like that, don't know why people waste their time making things up.
14 Aug 2015 18:56:40
Let's not get carried away lads he's no garza there's a hundred SA out there so I for one am not that upset. The septic are just getting one over us good for them. Their cousins from the east had no intention to sell him to us, auld pals act that all so let's just hammer them again next week and have a good laugh at stubbsy, no class big man
14 Aug 2015 19:43:55
top post and money grabber allan laughing all the way to the bank as a bench warmer
14 Aug 2015 19:58:07
he will be like riordan never get a gemme
14 Aug 2015 20:18:09
Totally agree well said
14 Aug 2015 20:42:19
I couldn't agree more. Let's thrash them and give Stubbs pelters!
14 Aug 2015 18:33:21
ok let's get thins into perspective here with SA issue
I had two two interviews and was really keen on the first one, they took their time to get back to me and by then I had to take the first offer.Ok this is the building trade but it's my living and that what's more important.
Sypnopsis: no player ever plays for the club, jersey or boy hood heroes, cash always comes first
14 Aug 2015 20:40:29
yes cash always wins with allan just ask dundee united fans I would have one question for allan will you be selling your ticket for alloa on sunday
14 Aug 2015 17:41:23
Overheard a conversation at work today (the guy is a friend of a football agent for a Celtic player or two)that Scott Allan has been at Lennoxtown today ahead of a proposed deal. Didn't hear the ins and outs of the deal but it looks likely he will sign for them.
14 Aug 2015 19:46:41
NOOO!No way!I don't believe it!
15 Aug 2015 11:08:26
Just passing on what I had heard! Looks like it turned out to be true I'll try to listen in to more of his conversations in the future :P
14 Aug 2015 17:40:54
Delighted with Warby's interview today. Clearly indicating that there was more to the Scott Allan saga than meets the eye, he seems to imply that SA didn't want to come as he said numerous times "I only want players who want to play for this club" when repeatedly asked about Allan. He must have said it 3 or 4 times. i'm 100% behind him on that. He also said "It's all about us!" Couldn't agree more! Who gives a hoot who any other team sign, let's focus on Rangers!
14 Aug 2015 20:16:17
vuckic said he wanted to play for us. but no interest or offer made?.
seems there is upper limit on any player of £200k and that's the overspend!!!
now hearing £20m to be raised by fans and city investors. prior to new float to raise £8m more?. and not a penny upfront from our chairman who lives in £10m mansion with 350000 bottles of wine ( huge fire risk ) in cellar allegedly. no way
china showed explosions happen easily when you store to much flammable material. 35000 bottles of wine. yeah right. 1000 would be huge risk.
14 Aug 2015 17:39:11

Remember stubbs Hibs or not and will never be rivals for anything
14 Aug 2015 17:54:11
Ok can I just say this people moaning about Scott Allan saying he blew it bla bla bla. I honestly think the whole diehard Rangers fan thing came from the Media. Not once has there been any quotes from Scott Allan. He may have been a fan but it's obvious he's not a die hard like most of us on here. Even I can admit though that signing for Celtic is a massive opportunity & he now has the chance to play in a Champions League Qualifier on Wednesday and you never know he could be playing against Barca or Madrid in a month or 2s time. I Know My heart wouldn't be in it to spend another season in the Championship with Hibs. There was no guarantee Rangers would still be interested come January. Put in the same position I think we would all Consider Celtics Offer if you have ambition to play for your Country, win titles & get noticed down south or abroad. Good luck to the lad. The reason I don't care we let 2 better young Scottish Cms go last season in McLeod & Telfer. there's always going to be the next big thing & with Warburton unearthing Gems like Tavernier & Waghorn I know there will be other young talented players in the lower English leagues that would kill to play for Rangers & Warburton aswell as what we have in our system & our own country. Also I got slagged for it the other day but I said we should have tested the waters with a 500k bid & snapped the boy up it was a certainty Hibs wanted to get rid but just not to Rangers to end this saga & concentrate on there season. Yes we would have overpaid but speculate to accumulate the only way we will ever get back to where we belong is to buy & sell players. That let's you know right away that where we belong is not what it was in the 90s & we need to stop expecting that. The boy had sell on Value & either we missed a trick or we didn't have the money so stop Blaming Allan. Oh and stop believing everything you read in the papers if I had a quid for everytime I heard he won't sign for Celtic he's a bluenose. Celtic were always going to try & leave us embarrassed here that's how they roll & we should have been the ruthless ones & left Hibs & Stubbs looking like idiots if we wanted him so badly.
14 Aug 2015 19:23:48
well said m8. deecee
14 Aug 2015 19:38:23
problem with your post is we bid 400 thousand for him and septic are getting him for 275 thousand it wouldn't have mattered if we had bid 500 thousand or 1 million stubbs and petrie were never going to sell him to us it was allan who said in the press he was a rangers fan and put a transfer request in to push his move to rangers through he's a good player in the championship but has failed at 4 clubs in england he will be a bench warmer at septic but again liewell is only paying 275 thousand
14 Aug 2015 20:44:24
Best thing is refuse to take tickets for easter road hit hibs where it hurts
14 Aug 2015 21:40:47
Thats why I said test the waters. Hibs are in no position to turn that down they could have negotiated 275k a player & a loan from us & i'm sure we would have obliged. Like I said in my Post Alaska I really don't care about Scott Allan. We will be fine without him I'm excited about my Team this season not Scott Allan. Would rather see a Auchenhowie Graduate like Andy Murdoch Cement his place in the side & have a long career with us. We have let far too many Scottish Midfeilders go probably better than Allan. Telfer, McLeod, McCabe, Ness.
15 Aug 2015 00:42:03
Larky how the devil are you?
14 Aug 2015 17:33:57
just saw SA will make $10,000 a week. wonder what we were paying. thinking this is a win win for hibs wi 2 players going their way and hendersons wages being paid by celtic. lessons learned here I feel. deecee
14 Aug 2015 19:18:24
$10,000 How much is that is ££££
:)
14 Aug 2015 19:40:52
yes lesson is he's a money grabber who played the i'm a rangers fan card to get his big money move how long before he's holding a septic scarf up saying this is the only team I wanted to play for
14 Aug 2015 20:09:07
probably tomorrow I would think
14 Aug 2015 17:30:47
Mark Warburton hopeful of adding another loan singing at the start of the week
14 Aug 2015 18:49:30
why are we getting players on loan instead of players who will still be there at end of season? have we became a feeder club?
14 Aug 2015 19:06:26
after all. we are "the loan rangers". deecee
14 Aug 2015 21:29:08
Obviously we are a feeder club to clubs down south. There is no doubt or shame in this. We have to be realistic and realize where we are at this present time in our history. Financially we are not strong enough not to be a feeder club. Our club at this point in time needs to be bringing in players with sell-on value, so we can make a profit and start building up the coffers. This makes us an attractive place to play for young players who need to impress.
14 Aug 2015 17:26:55
Scott Allen
I cannot understand a Rangers supporter who would want to sign for them, but on the other hand there is no guarantee that he would be a Rangers player at the end of the season. Good luck to him, as he is joining a very ordinary Celtic team, who will get embarrassed in Europe, if they get beyond Malmo. I think he is making a huge mistake, that he may regret in future years. No big loss!!!
14 Aug 2015 18:03:57
hes a money grabber dundee utd supporters will tell you that he stabbed them in the back
14 Aug 2015 18:49:05
Scott allAn allAn!Wi an A!
That bursts ma arse man.
14 Aug 2015 20:06:07
i posted last week it did not pass ed we would soon know whether he was a bluenose or a money grabber now we know the sign on money we offered him for january was nothing like what he would earn with celtic in wages he is getting 10 k aweek we were 5 k
14 Aug 2015 17:24:20
I have just watched the latest Mark Warburton interview, everything he says is class, professional and thoughtful, even those poor useless hacks can't fail to be impressed, all he wants to do is make our club successful, and get the best from the players, and no excuses, music to my ears, no more whinging from the players.can't wait for sunday. even though its wee Alloa. Come on the magic hat.
14 Aug 2015 17:19:23
So, Allan has proved is all about the money, blue nose? My ass, me personally, I wouldn't play for them for all the tea in China, but hey, that's just me!
14 Aug 2015 18:55:30
what a great response from manager, '' we want people who want to play for us'' enough said.
14 Aug 2015 17:16:45
its taken a while but looks like septic have got us back for us stealing a player from under them dariusz adamczuk
14 Aug 2015 17:11:59
According to Sky sports Steve may could be on his way to Blackburn on a season loan deal
14 Aug 2015 17:05:56
Ok it looks like Allan ain't coming now but c'mon this is the first time in 5 years I'm truly excited about the Gers again, we're finally doing now with young lads what we should've done at LEAST 1 1/2 years ago. Exciting times ahead I am positive
14 Aug 2015 17:01:26
lets not blame SA, or even hibs. let's blame our financial gurus for playing games and undervalued the lad big time. celtic will sell this player on down the road for a significant profit.
guessing the powers that be thought "well we are the mighty rangers football club so he will come . well I hate to break the news to king etc. we are not the mighty rangers but a work in progress and don't command the same pull or respect as before.
we will win the championship by a country mile and will bring in decent players but ffs if a player is worth the money then pay it or do what we are good at right now.loans and free transfers.
deecee
14 Aug 2015 16:34:26
On way past rosshall TV cameras are there apparently Scott allan having medical
14 Aug 2015 18:18:57
is stubbs and petrie there as well
14 Aug 2015 19:41:58
is petrie and stubbs driving him there in liewells car
14 Aug 2015 16:21:24
You know listening to and reading comments from Mark Warburton really is a breath of fresh air.
His interviews on RFC news are articulated, intelligent and insightful. He instils the belief that he really cares about what he is doing and how he goes about his work - absolutely wonderful to have someone of his stature in charge.
However, for me, what sets him apart from the rest was his total professionalism during the SA saga. He completely refused to be drawn into silly games of Hibs and Stubbs and comment on the transer issues.
With regard to the SA issue it would seem that in the end MW did not think it warranted going above RFC ceiling for the player - at least I hope this was the reason.
It is good to know that he thinks there may be another one or two players coming in before the end of August - exciting time ahead.
TBBaB
14 Aug 2015 16:54:28
Scott Allen has only himself to blame, a bit of patience and he would have pulled on the jersey of Rangers. now if he signs for them, the dream is over. I could not wear that mobs shirt ever. even for charity. good luck son, but you blew it. good luck to the two young lads from Spurs, they appreciate our club and are keen to get going by showing patience. A lesson for young Allan.
14 Aug 2015 17:16:18
I agree the guy has been shouting about coming to us for weeks now and as soon celtic come in for him he's off. Could have waited till January and signed for the club he ''LOVES'' In all honesty if he wants to go to celtic let him go and I might getting slated for saying this but I don't wish him luck. I hope he's goes and sits on the bench for 3 seasons and then ends up at Dundee utd or something. Moving forward anyway he wasn't warburtons first choice signing. watp
14 Aug 2015 19:40:48
If he wasn't Warburtons first choice signing why make 3 bids for him? . Also I've not seen anywhere Scott Allan shouting about coming to Rangers for weeks now or even commenting about the club he "loves " . All of this has been engineered by the SMSM who love to put a twist into a story to antagonise both sets of fans . A few weeks ago they were slating fans for the abuse the lad was getting because he handed in a transfer request I wonder what they'll say now as social media sites go into overload .
14 Aug 2015 15:43:13
Mw sayn he only interested in players who wanted to play for rangers sa wanted to play for rangers but look where he is now cause of mw and the rangers board
14 Aug 2015 16:53:04
What does SA choice to go to Celtic have to do with MW or the board? I think you may be confused through anger about missing the chance to sign a half decent player? It is done, move on.
14 Aug 2015 16:41:33
What do you want them to do? Offer silly money for a player we don't really need? Most of us Gers fans are right behind DK and MW but there's still a minority of "supporters" like yourself who will never be happy what they do.
14 Aug 2015 17:05:44
absolute rubbish we put a bid in stubbs refused to sell to us end of the day allan has done to us what he did to dundee utd went for the money
14 Aug 2015 17:17:37
What are you talking about?? The rangers board have had 3 bids rejected and the first bid that comes in for celtic and he's off. What has that got to do with warburton and the board??
14 Aug 2015 17:58:38
I'm much more interested in what else MW said, somebody else signing early next week, I guess Eustace and hinting we are close to someone else WHO?
14 Aug 2015 18:25:14
At the end of the day it was Scott Allan's decision to join the manky mob.
He could easily have waited a few months and joined us on a pre-contract but has chosen not to.
We don't want players like him, we want players who actually want to pull on the blue jersey.
To hell with him, I said from day 1 that he wasn't going to sign for us.
We have a good squad with midfielders who are every bit as good as Allan.
Think we should all move on and stop talking about the guy. He has shown what kind of person he is by signing for them after all the support he got from the Rangers fans when he put in his transfer request.
He was never bothered about coming to us, was happy to go anywhere that was bigger than Hibs with more money.
14 Aug 2015 18:51:25
it has this to do with them. the price they willing to pay,
14 Aug 2015 15:31:54
i find it amusing how a few weeks ago all rangers fans were saying SA was the best midfielder in Scotland yet now he's poised to sign for Celtic your saying he won't get a game for us and will rot on the bench!! Make you minds up ffs!!
14 Aug 2015 15:53:08
Similar to the Celtic fans who were calling him an average Championship player when Rangers first showed an interest and now all of a sudden he is a great player. Have a pop at Rangers fans all you want but at least be consistent and have a go at the Celtic fans who have done the same thing
14 Aug 2015 16:01:26
I'm a rangers fan and not once did I say he was the best midfielder in Scotland! And I can't remember many of my fellow bears on this site saying that either.
14 Aug 2015 16:06:31
That's funny because I noticed a lot of Celtic fans telling us he was mince. Apparently he has become world class in the last week. He is a decent player, and would have fitted in well at the Gers. He won't be joining, nothing we can do about it. We move on.
14 Aug 2015 16:27:30
I find it amusing that 2 weeks ago Celtic fans were saying Scott Allan is rubbish that's why he's in the championship with hibs and would fit in with Rangers.
Celtic bid for Scott Allan now he has the most potential in Scotland.
Aye he's a good player and aye we rate him obviously but let's face it he won't get a game for Celtic who will he replace? He has chosen money over his career for the 2nd time.
14 Aug 2015 16:30:58
It's nothing to do with him being a good midfielder, it's the fact that he's a Rangers fan & after he knew of us bidding for him, he handed in a transfer request, I don't think he's any better than you have just now, he hasn't thought this through, how often will he play? jeez, it was only a couple of weeks ago that a lot of celtic fans were saying he wasn't good enough for your lot, make up your mind ffs!!
14 Aug 2015 16:46:39
Haha very good. Think there is quite a few bears on here who owe Gardner an apology! He said he wouldn't be heading Ibrox way from the start. Changed yer tunes
14 Aug 2015 15:22:59
Let us just end the talk over Scott Allan, He has made his bed now, Warb's said he only wants players who wants to be here, Let us not act as if it is the end of the world.
14 Aug 2015 14:47:14
Remember guys, Scott Allan would have been taking a huge risk waiting for Rangers (injury / Rangers signing somebody else this window) bottom line Hibs are naive enough to think they'll change us (and that's pretty sweet and innocent of them) and would sell us there best player. Let's wish him luck and move on, hopefully Hibs won't make the play offs or if they do the St. Mirren hammer them and they'll spent even more time rotten in the championship. The problem is Hibs not Scott Allan
14 Aug 2015 17:20:32
I agree to a certain extent but if Allan really wanted to come to us he would have waited till January and if he knocked back celtic he would have been a hero. I don't wish him luck I hoe he goes and sits on the bench for 3 seasons
14 Aug 2015 14:39:13
One last thing about the Allan saga. We don't want to get involved in what is obviously a one upmanship conspiracy ( its usually the tic fans that are being paranoid) between the green teams. We should walk away now, heads held high. There are many much better players than Allan out there and we do need a quality midfielder, so it's big time for the board to spend some of our season ticket money on just that - a better player than Allan. So far WW have made VG economical signings which is great, but I've said all along we need to invest in a quality mid ( and striker).
14 Aug 2015 18:43:10
A conspiracy is usually covert and secretive, oneupmanship is intentionally provocative and in your face. You're MEANT to know about oneupsmanship, that's it's point. Do you want to try that rambling nonsense again smrfc?
14 Aug 2015 15:30:54
Don't see point for breaking bank for Scott Allan when we have Jordan Thompson who I think will go on to be our next captain and the next great ger with much more talent and potential than Scott Allan
14 Aug 2015 15:11:03
Listen guys there's plenty of Scott Allans out their who want to sign for the Gers, good luck to him because as a life long bear I could never pull on the shirt of that east end mob,
see you next year Scotty I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome at ibrox
14 Aug 2015 15:32:35
Get a warm welcome?
He'll bloody well need it. By that time he'll have been sitting on that Celtic bench for almost a year and a half.
14 Aug 2015 17:21:38
I was being sarcastic about the warm welcome personally I think the kid has no class, no real rangers fan would sign for the east end soap dodgers no matter what, time to move on we don't need the guy we've started the season in terrific form n I can't wait to see us play every week
14 Aug 2015 14:58:29
Is anyone else not really that bothered that Scott Allan won't be joining us? Sure rangers are reportedly his boyhood heroes and we did try to sign him but only within our budget gone are the days of splashing out on expensive luxuries which is really what Allan would have been . We simply can't match that lot at present they have the lure of euro football . I think rangers are playing a shrewd game not chasing things that are out of our reach at least at the moment get up this season is the priority and see what happens next season anyone agree??
14 Aug 2015 13:59:22
Good luck to Scott allan on his move to them lot. I like the boy and I totally understand the need to do what's best for him and his family. I wish he had come to the gers but let's now focus on our own players. Has anyone on here seen these two new spurs lads before. Are they any good?
14 Aug 2015 14:53:55
I won't hold any grudges against Scott Allan, He wanted to come to Rangers, Hibs would not let that happen, End of the day he has to look after himself, and cannot wait for a hopeful move to Rangers in January or end of the season because Warbs might not want him, So Good Luck Scott.
14 Aug 2015 15:56:01
Yogi bear
What do you mean by good luck to him? Are you wanting him to perform well for Celtic even at the detriment of Rangers? I don't bear any grudges with what he has done however I don't wish him good luck playing for Celtic
14 Aug 2015 16:30:11
Well I'm a bluenose and under any circumstance I would NEVER join Celtic it's just something u would not do imo he is not one of us
14 Aug 2015 16:41:31
I'm just generally wishing the guy good luck. Just because he has moved to Celtic doesn't mean my opinion of the guy has changed. Rangers had their chance under McCoy's to sign Allan but we didn't. Shit happens! I'm just looking forward to seeing how our team performs this season.
14 Aug 2015 20:09:34
I now regard SA as a two faced lying little shhhh . Rangers supporter my arse, no rangers supporter would sign for them. Prepare for a very rough time boy next time we see you.
14 Aug 2015 13:39:58
Haris vuckic been made available by Newcastle, should warbuton sign him? Do you think he will fit nicely behind waghorn?
14 Aug 2015 14:59:19
Definetly, Harris Vuckic will fit in perfectly. I know things never went well in the last couple of play off games, but we should remember the impact he made on the team with his goals and tracking back, goal line clearances in a sub standard team.
14 Aug 2015 13:25:50
I can understand Allans reasons if he does actually decide to move to Celtic chance of winning the title, champions league etc bit if he truly wanted to play for the teddy bears and is a dyed in the wool blue nose then don't know why he would make the move as I will kill of any lingering hope that he'd ever have of pulling on the blue jersey I for one could not bring myself to wear anything of Celtic and my son follows both rangers and Manchester United but I won't spend my money on Manchester United merchandise but I will buy his rangers gear his mum has to dip in to her purse to buy the Manchester United stuff but if at the end of the day he does sign for Celtic then we've just got to let him get on with it at least it means this transfer saga will be at an end if it's true what's being said on sky is that the sale price is £275000 with 2 players 1 permeates and one on loan then I don't see why we couldn't have sweetend our offer with a similar deal to get Hibs to cave in although I still feel this is all to get rangers to slap in a much bigger offer before the end of the window.
14 Aug 2015 14:31:21
So, Scott Allan went to Celtic and persuaded them to put in a well worked out bid for him including two players in order to get Rangers to put in a bigger bid than the previous ones so that he could move to Ibrox? And Celtic went along with it?
You can't honestly believe what you have written.
Straws, anyone?
14 Aug 2015 14:33:23
Tommy DK says whatever it takes! I expect he will get SA why would he not?
14 Aug 2015 16:36:31
Tommyj that's a bit sad pal your boy won't get a footy top unless its a gers 1 your boy who obviously is your boy might want his dad to get him a man u top but u tell him no not unless its a rangers one u sound like the child here mate get a grip a could mibae get it if the wee man asked for a hoops top
14 Aug 2015 13:11:01
Guys let's look positive here fine we may miss out on allan we still have a team capable of running away with this league signed to good loans deals from spurs and having an exciting new management team plus plenty of players would love to come to the gers better than allan even if they don't come till we r back in spl next season we r still scotlands most successfull football team and no1 player is bigger than our wonderful club watp
14 Aug 2015 13:01:58
Maybe we should launch a bid for cummings before the next hibs game lol
14 Aug 2015 12:59:25
Scott Allan, looks like another wooden blue nose, better of without his kind.
14 Aug 2015 13:13:42
Is this BIGWULL less the VAT?
14 Aug 2015 13:27:36
No just Wull but still a BLUENOSE.
14 Aug 2015 13:42:49
Lol Billyb, cracker. :)
14 Aug 2015 12:39:25
scott Allan has been told his place in the squad already, the bench. Foolish kid, Going for the money, how sad.
14 Aug 2015 12:37:48
Acording to sky sports Scott allan to have medical at celtic can't believe it gutted
14 Aug 2015 14:51:08
At last some honesty. The vast majority of posters here who were proclaiming SA as the next big thing a week ago are now completely changing their tune. Unfortunately our chairman and board are making us look like a laughing stock. We can't even match celtic's offer. An amount which is small change to them.
14 Aug 2015 16:05:06
According to Sky sports news the Dylan mcgeoch and Liam Henderson are separate deals and it's a straight 275k for SA. I believe we offered 300k and were rejected?
14 Aug 2015 12:37:15
Allen undergoing medical at Celik lol. Money is his only motivation!
Prem players aren't good enough said Collins and backed by his manager. Except for the 3 D Utd players and Griffiths and Allen a champ player. Do they really fear the rangers already
14 Aug 2015 12:02:54
Every post seems to be about Scott Allan. So may as well say something as well.
Celtic will do the same with him as West Brom did and ruin his career for years.
Honestly do we have such little faith in Warburton & Weir that missing out on one player is going to ruin our good start.
Two years on the bench for Allan. Barry McKay, David Templeton, Lee Wallace, Danny Wilson, Andy Halliday and James Tavernier playing every week will make them better players than he would ever be.
Also Murdoch and Walsh have showed good promise.
14 aug 2015 11:37:32
looks like we dodged a bullet here with scott allan no more a blue nose than rod stewart
14 Aug 2015 11:37:31
Sa a rangers fan my a. he's a money grapping little t.
14 Aug 2015 11:27:45
Don't do it Scotty, your career will go into decline, you won't be a regular starter at piggeryhead but if this is what you want, go ahead but you could be with your boyhood heroes for this season & then be promoted for next season, you'll then be able to show what you can do on a regular basis.
14 Aug 2015 11:24:21
Scott allan poised to have his medical ( sky sports news ) ok bears that's it finished with , onwards and upwards
14 Aug 2015 11:17:23
For what it's worth here's my opinion on it. Do Celtic need Scott Allan? Right now, no. But Mulgrew and Brown aren't getting any younger and both had lengthy injuries last season so a bit of help in there won't hurt, more so if Deila does use Mulgrew as a auxiliary left back. For all some of you are quoting Johansen, I don't think it is his natural role, he is better further up the field, so in essence Celtic have three defensive midfielders as we speak, Brown, Mulgrew who is a utility player anyway and Bitton, help maybe is required given the number of games being played this season. We have a guaranteed minimum of 52 games even if we lose every cup game from this point on. Given the outlay can a profit be made on the transfer? The answer is obviously yes.
Now that doesn't answer everything. Is it mischief? Possibly. A bit of muscle flexing, highlighting rumoured lack of cash or indeed promises from King, sure and like Rangers bid just before the cup game (which you will recall I had no problem with) it is gamesmanship. BOTH clubs have therefore done it regards this whole transfer.
Now in the big scale of things it is up to you guys how you react here to the player should Celtic sign him. I don't think it is in the Mo Johnston, Luis Figo and Sol Campbell category by any stretch and Kenny Miller is prove that the switch can be made with some respect, he tried for every jersey he wore Miller and every fan appreciated that. Given Rangers policy of decades ago needless to say there are far more anecdotal stories of Rangers fans playing for Celtic Dalglish, McGrain and Deans to name three and presumably somebody wasn't towing the family line when Colin and Tom McAdam played for opposing clubs but it happens and despite what his book said it turned out Mo Johnston didn't need the keys to Stirling Castle before signing for Rangers. It happens, we deal with it. For what it is worth it reflects the Dariusz Adamczuk transfer where Celtic were all over him and Rangers nipped in with more cash to spend.
As for it's likelihood of happening, and I thought this last night before it was mentioned again today in the papers. There is NO WAY Celtic would have approached this on a "mibbe". I'm sure they wanted a cast iron guarantee that if approached and offered a fair income he would sign. Seemingly this was done via a third party so while the ball is still in Allan's half of the court I'm sure he made positive noises to Celtic's advances or else none of us would have heard a thing about it. Again it is up to you guys how you deal with that information in the future. I said before maybe a bigger bid not so close to the cup game might have yielded you a different outcome, chances are we will never know now.
14 Aug 2015 11:46:00
But allan is an attacking midfielder.
14 Aug 2015 11:52:25
Interesting post gaz.lets get one thing straight right away.im gutted he has turned us down as I rate the boy.however I think it is a bad career move for him as I think he will struggle to get into the Celtic midfield.maybe a first pick in a year or two but defo not right now.i have no ill feeling towards him or Celtic as he has to get the right deal for his family.its just a bit strange that he handed in a transfer request saying he wanted to move to rangers then does a complete u turn.
14 Aug 2015 12:05:18
Cee anything I've read of him describes him as a defensive midfielder, for me that's why it made more sense, we have a glut of attacking mids.
He's not the first of last to do it Bigcol, the lure of European games etc, of course they will come again for Rangers but we are talking footballers, short career, everything is pretty immediate for them. I think if one maxim holds true of footballers its "If you get the chance grab it."
14 Aug 2015 12:37:42
Agree gaz.he will never know unless he goes.i wish no ill of him.just disappointed.only time will tell whether it was a good or bad move for him.i just hope no threats are made against the boy like he got off hibs fans.
14 Aug 2015 12:50:45
That's what I don't understand, he's not as good as Armstrong or commons or johansen.
14 Aug 2015 13:23:51
But it's the number of games Cee. 52 as a bare minimum. If Deila has showed us one thing with McGregor scoring a few early goals last season and obviously his time with Martin Odegaard, you play well and take your chance, you'll get the games. If the league is going well and still competing in cups then rest some of the guys you mentioned, bring in Allan and the like. Also remember that if the deal is as mentioned then essentially it is two out and one in and while neither player(McGeoch and Henderson) are starters, they have contributed in 37 competitive games the past few seasons so those appearances need covered right away.
14 Aug 2015 11:16:29
By Celtic signing one of our main transfer targets does this mean they are admitting that we're back for real, lol?
14 Aug 2015 10:37:53
just a thought on a potential replacement target for SA Ryan Christie at Inverness looks like a great prospect I know Swansea are sniffing about but he would be guaranteed first team football at Rangers.
14 Aug 2015 11:14:26
Sa having medical at celtic. What a joke of a club we are dk is nt interested in putting us back at the top
14 Aug 2015 11:32:54
I suppose SA is the reason for recent results? No he had no input and imo has not been much of a game changer so far in appearences for Hibs, if he wants to warm a bench then crack on.
We have a decent squad for the championship and will further improve it as time goes on. DK is doing the right things for our club, chucking money around causes more problems in the future as history has shown. WATP
14 Aug 2015 11:12:02
Really hope the fans don't go and start abusing allan, he's a young man and it's a short career. There are more players out there.
14 Aug 2015 11:56:47
He better hope he does well at Lego towers or he will be getting stick all right.
14 Aug 2015 10:18:11
Guys its the usual here with sa stubbs hates rangers and would never sell to us he quotes 1 million for him then accepts that bid from septic he will have ruined a players dream and that's the kinda manager he will be known as plus septic have signed a guy who pretty much down all he could to sign for us and declaired his love for rangers
14 Aug 2015 11:01:34
He obviously doesn't want to be at rangers that much, all we can do is move on he's a good player but we all know there are some knobs out there who will really take this to heart ajd because trouble for the boy.
14 Aug 2015 11:15:05
Let's get Scott Brown! Of st.Johnstone.
14 Aug 2015 10:38:53
It is still quite simple for Scott Allan, his future is still in his own hands. All he needs to say is that he will only move to Rangers, wait a few months and sign a pre contract with the team that he has been brought up to love. Scott Allan has the chance to be a hero along side his best pal Andy Halliday for the next ten years. Over to you Scotty.
14 Aug 2015 14:17:18
Rangers are bigger than any player, especially SA. let's wish the lad well and move on, he may now never get the chance to play for his boyhood hero's.
14 Aug 2015 10:15:24
Well was hopeing to see scott allan move to rangers , but I now have to concede that the lad will sign for septic as to many things happening and getting said in the media that points to him moving to them ,disappointed that he said he wanted to come and then turns his back on us , so it's now time to move on from this saga
14 Aug 2015 09:21:57
Glad the SA chat is almost over. Yaaaaawwn.
It's a no risk move by celik in moving on a player and loaning a player to a champ challenger, though I feel it is more of a one up manship on us tbh and it def suits Hibs in getting rid of a player who don't want to be there and bringing 2 players in to replace him. Celik say Scottish players r too slow and not good enough lol Really?!
Hibs haven't come out of this looking good in way they handled the situation, it wasn't rangers leaking the bids! As far as I'm concerned we handled it in the proper manner, transfer window and we bid for a player!
Would have been interesting to see what Stubbs would av said if St mirren or Falkirk etc had bid for him. They r title rivals also. This is all about no to rangers only.
A real bluenose wouldn't join Celik over rangers! The balls in his court. Few extra quid or pulling on that famous blue jersey and bringing in a handsome wage. I know what I'd be doing
14 Aug 2015 10:33:03
The boys got a family to support,it doesn't matter if he supports us. He could do his cruciate posterior ligament in training tomorrow and be left with nothing,he is a professional footballer remember,its his loss though. Let's move on!
14 Aug 2015 08:25:25
People ought to stop coming on here blaming Dave king, and asking where's his money, he's done what he's said he was goney do, and us as a club r in the best place we've been in years, everybody's happy, the Scott Allan thing, and so what where he's goes, it's nothing to do with money from our side of it, he's a Rangers man so he says, he wants to play with Rangers so he says, he's 9 months left of his contract, the third bit was £275'000 plus add ons, which is a great deal, he met the price tag, Stubbs does stopped that, point blank, there's nothing we can do, y on earth would we give them £275'000 plus a player to keep, and 2 players on loan, plus add ons, NO CHANCE, it doesn't make business sense at all, that's what celtics done, at the end of the day,nits up to him if the deal goes ahead of not, but if I where him, and a Rangers supporter like I am, and Stubbs dictacing where I play my football instead on me dictacing that for myself, I'd just stay at hibs till the end of my contract and come to Rangers, if he goes he goes, we didn't find playing against him a problem, and near did Dumbarton last week, no dig, just being honest, I'd like him, but a don't think we need him!!
14 Aug 2015 09:19:07
Would they have sold to us if we weren't in the same league, probably not let's face it, it's still us against the world dundee utd would most likely be the same all those lot hate us, we shouldn't let it bother us a lot of it is just past jealousy because they couldn't even imagine themselves as great as us now they see us as weakened they can try and exert power that comes from there own inferiority, we will always be great, the most successful club in history and the hivs they will always be the club trying to win the cup for over 100 years. Is Scott Allan the greatest player to play in this country is he the best we could get no on both accounts. Let's move on if he would sign for them then forget him think what the guys who support this club and pay the wages of footballers but only work in factories and building sites would do to play for the club they love the certainly wouldn't chuck it all in and sign for the manky mob. Let's move on and forget him.
14 Aug 2015 09:30:31
At OP, you're right in that this is not about DK and I think everything to do with Stubbs. His 3 words " not for sale " has magically changed to 5 with " to Rangers " added on. I don't know if his stance is based on the promotion rival thing with us or something deeper but blaming DK and his wallet here is ludicrous.
As for Allan, he needs only to look at Steven Gerrard and his decision to play out his career at Anfield. Maybe didn't get the trophy collection but did well financially, loved every minute of it and had his friends and family at the games. A labour of love and now a Liverpool legend. Allan going to Celtic is a very risky career move on his side and he'll be turning his back on all the goodwill and support he's guaranteed at Ibrox. And we're a bigger club.
14 Aug 2015 09:40:07
Colin, I think you will find that DK's talk/promises prior to his takeover have not been fulfilled. Nobody was expecting the moon, just for him to back up his talk.
Yes, we look as if we have the makings of a good team and the management team are making the right noises and backing it up with the football being played. Early days, but the signs are good, and all this on a meagre budget. Maybe Mark Warburton is happy with the current financial back-up from the board, but I just feel that two good signings could make us the real deal.
On the Allan situation, I feel that it could have been handled better, but when a club, such as hibs take such a stance there is not much room for negotiations. However, Allan could, and hopefully he will, hold off and sign for us in January, as I know I would rather play with my heart in my jersey than money in my pockets, if it was a straight choice between them and us.
14 Aug 2015 10:12:41
Yeah OP, DK has did everything he said he was gong to do, the overspending at Ibrox proves that.
Seriously, I said when this saga began on here that we would find out a lot about Dave King, the man who cannot watch Rangers games in South Africa, who told people to vote against the CVA and sat on the board that saw the club being liquidated.
14 Aug 2015 10:18:23
Kfraser and gary75 what planet are u on! The worlds against us and we're a bigger club! Hahaha! If Allan comes to the champs it's because he feels we're a more attractive option! Plain and simple! He'll be joining Scotlands champs,he'll be playing in Europe,he'll have a better chance to play for Scotland,he'll get a better wage and he'll be playin with better Players! Come back from fantasy land for a minute and realise where u are! Scotlands 2nd tier with no money!! Face the fact! That if the champs come Calling that's where any player will go!!
14 Aug 2015 11:59:35
Hahahaha typical septic attitude, uz have more morals than an allycat, if the champions come calling, uz mob always miss the point, if your a Rangers supporter all your life, and they come in for u, u go there, simple as that, so he's not in my eyes, good luck to the boy, we move on, it's a sad day if the Scottish champions and above that, the only big Scottish club in Europe, r jumping for joy for buying a championship player from hibs is the best thing in the world, our game up here is DEAD
14 Aug 2015 08:19:04
What a load of over-hyped rubbish is being printed about Scott Allan. He may be a 'good' player but is hardly a superstar and do Rangers really need him that badly? Our start to the season hasn't exactly been poor and Warburton seems to have assembled a decent squad with the like of Mackay, Halliday, Law, Templeton, Murdoch, Walsh, Aird, Holt, Shiels and Thompson vying for midfield positions plus the two new Spurs loan signings. If Scott Allan is a true bluenose through and through like he has supposedly claimed then he wouldn't sign for Celtic. He might sign for another Scottish team but not his beloved Rangers' biggest rivals. I think Warburton will mould a squad that this season will be a match for any SPL team so the Scottish Cup and League Cup later stages will be interesting. I doubt whether any SPL team will relish drawing Rangers in the cups. Onwards and upwards for the Gers - with our without Scott Allan.
14 Aug 2015 06:27:38
As a rangers fan. I think rangers football club is a joke. Dk said he would do everything 2 get rangers back 2 where they were what a heap of s. he talks. I think he's just after seaon ticket money just like the other owners
14 Aug 2015 07:57:24
Hallet get a grip man! I am guessing this wee hissy fit is over Scott Allan? If so there is nothing DK could have done Stubbs already said not for sale to RANGERS and if the boy is happy to go to Celtic then all the best to him he's clearly not the player we all thought he was. I personally think it's a master stroke by them pay relatively little fee get some wages of the bill and stop Rangers picking up a player they will make one hell of a profit on if signed to a pre contract . Just goes to show we are already in their thoughts
14 Aug 2015 08:09:36
Have you been living in a glass bubble. The joke has been going on since we were forced to go to league 3. Years of absolute torcher cannot be fixed over night get real sir. Bide our time with the proper business structure and the on field benefits will be our reward. Just because we may lose SA to sceptic you take the huff. We are bigger and will be around after the lad has retired ,get over it h1.
14 Aug 2015 10:39:38
Rangers are bigger than SA.If he does not fulfill his lifetime ambition of playing for Rangers so be it after all he could regret it for the rest of his life. let's move on and get promotion, look on the bright side Hibs won't have him
13 Aug 2015 22:02:28
2 weeks ago Celtic fans were on Twitter slating us over the hype over Scott Allan saying he is rubbish and that's why he's with hibs
Fast for 2 weeks and they're all over Facebook and Twitter saying he is the best young talent in Scotland
If true and they have offered 600k plus mcgeouch permanent and McGregor they are vastly over paying in my opinion
4 year deal apparently
The only way I can see us getting him now is if he pay what Celtic are paying offer dean shiels and him back on loan for the season would suit everyone?
If he was that good though let's face it he would be in England
14 Aug 2015 08:12:56
He was in England . then came back after not making it??Utd had asked him to stay as it would be beneficial for his football learning .followed the money instead,so don't be thinking he is anyway loyal in his thoughts.
14 Aug 2015 02:04:08
My thinking behind Scott Allan wanting to talk to Cellic is that it will bump up his salary when January comes and is in for pay talks with Rangers.don't think he wants to hold us to ransom but when 2 parties are interested then he has the ball at his feet.sign for his boyhood heroes and get a better salary.
14 Aug 2015 11:36:57
I'm surprised there isn't a world shortage of straws with all the clutching at them going on here, but making up fantasies to justify the clutching is bad.
14 Aug 2015 00:30:30
Does it really matter if selic sign Scott allan? If he was as good as the commotion suggests let's face it he wouldn't be at hubs would he?
Plus either way it weakens hibs they are still losing their best Player, let's face it whether he joins them or not our objective is to get promoted
14 Aug 2015 09:48:42
Don't think it will weaken them. There getting two decent players plus cash to replace him.
14 Aug 2015 00:22:49
Looking more likely that sa is going to join that lot and I would love nothing more than for him to turn them down but my hearts telling me they wouldn't set themselves up like that to get publicly humiliated, I think they no something we don't. Come on sa #saynothanks.
13 Aug 2015 23:32:33
Seen on a couple of forums and a few tweets saying that Vuckic has been put on the transfer list tonight, if it turns out Allan's can't wait till jan to sign a pre contract then what's your thoughts on him as an alternative, already proven his creativity and he has a sweet left foot only his workrate let's him down but I think Warburton could get that out of him, he's a couple of years younger than Allan and has the potential to be miles better than him
13 Aug 2015 23:25:12
man there's a lot of negative people on here. maybe we should just go back to Charlie green, mccoist etal. personally i'm over the moon wi the current shape of things. no matter what's posted there's the "half empty " brigade ready to shoot it down. for the record . money will be available next year. we might win a cup or 2 plus the leagues a canter imo. teams playing well and going to get better and a great management team with 45000 supporters cheering the team on. just saying . but ill expect the ususl backlash. deecee
13 Aug 2015 23:07:21
They are just bumping the price up on SA to test DK with his "whatever it takes" statement. It's a game that's all.
14 Aug 2015 01:15:52
Thank the heavens that the Scott Allan saga is over!
Bit gutted to say the least and think the only way of getting over the loss of Scott Allan's signature is to maybe try get Stevie May or someone of that calibre!
