Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


14 Aug 2018 22:09:44
Thursdays game is huge now that celtic are in the Europa. no point in gloating until after we get maribors scalp.



14 Aug 2018 21:50:10
I'd rather Rangers had gone in for Steven Caulker than Gareth McAuley

Also I here Micah Richards has been released is he worth a punt mind you he is on 35k a week so I would say Naw

The transfer front for Rangers has gone quiet

Hopefully get Maribor out the way and then go snap up a couple players before end of the transfer window.



15 Aug 2018 00:18:45
How can he be on 35k a week if he's been released🤔. C'mon kaz, I think you are trying to bait me now mate😂.



15 Aug 2018 00:36:18
Not been a fan of Richards in a good few years, used to be quality but has severely went off the rails not to mention would cost a ton in wages.

If we could get him playing to his potential he could be great for us or at least make us a decent bit of cash after the season is over but I think the risks are too high compared to the potential rewards.



15 Aug 2018 00:54:13
1. Rangers haven't gone for either McAuley or Caulker.
2. Richards isn't on £35k a week. And he hasn't been released. And he's a bigger injury bombscare than Rossiter.
3. You really need to start nicking stuff from a better source than HITC.



15 Aug 2018 07:41:26
That wisnae from HITC dutycalls

FYI he is on 35k, what do you reckon he's on? Apart from Tramadol 🤣😂
I would agree Richards is so injury prone

Read the post lad

I asked you guys if he was worth a punt then said naw due to his wages and I never said we were in for the other two I just made a statement that I would RATHER Caulker than McAuley!



14 Aug 2018 22:25:23
Ed, can we have a poll on Andy Halliday. "Is Andy Halliday Rangers quality? Nothing to do with whether he's a "supporter or gives his all" is he good enough for our team. Cheers.

Andy Halliday Poll

14 Aug 2018 22:43:10
Stevie G gets 5000 votes on tne basis that he knows more about football that all the numpties on here put together.



14 Aug 2018 22:45:17
Give the guy a break . He’s a rangers player and SH has backed him. Wish everyone would do the same.



14 Aug 2018 22:53:29
The poll says it all! As much as he loves the club and gives 1,000,000% he's just no what we need going forward.



14 Aug 2018 22:53:51
A poll on Andy Halliday?



14 Aug 2018 23:14:19
Very precise wording of the question for the poll to get the result you wanted. Congratulations 🎉

He might leave tomorrow and no tears will be shed but he's currently with us. He knows he's not a 1st team player and is just happy to be where he is. He must be showing a good attitude in training which always helps the team, plus he can fill a gap when we're desperate. I don't imagine his wage will be huge by rangers normal standards. what's the big issue?



15 Aug 2018 00:19:46
What about a poll on whether blue89 would inspire the team if they visited this site or not ed?



15 Aug 2018 00:24:03
He's a stop gap till next season. Gerrard wants better quality but it's about building a squad. Will take more than 1 transfer window so he will have to work with some players that are already there.



15 Aug 2018 00:40:02
I'm not a fan of Halliday, I think we need better quality but as a squad player who can fit into a fair number of positions then I'm fine keeping him around for now for depth.

Gerrard obviously sees something in him though so his is the only opinion that matters.



15 Aug 2018 00:48:46
Blue89 no call for vote it's nothing to do with you or any other supporter wether Andy Holliday plays or not it's up to manager Gerrard.



14 Aug 2018 21:16:56
Cup your hand to your ears towards the night's sky my Rangers brothers. You will shortly hear the timplosion in 3,2,1.



14 Aug 2018 21:25:43
Just checked e bay apparently there's a big company in East end of Glasgow selling 2m worth of champions league disco lights, unused FAIL FAIL☘️☘️.



14 Aug 2018 21:29:00
I’m cupped, I’m cupped😂😂😂😂😂.



14 Aug 2018 21:29:38
Like your style, just hope we get a result on Thursday keep the good run going.



14 Aug 2018 21:38:02
Nice one DLC.
Starting but 1 thin dime 😄.



14 Aug 2018 21:45:23
The domino affect is happening.



14 Aug 2018 23:01:56
see there's a tim hitting the disagree button poor soul must be in tears watching it all fall apart, long may it happen.



14 Aug 2018 23:52:04
That mob are lucky theve got Partick at the week end and no us or the sheep or hibs. heard a rumour that Brenda will walk if they don’t qualify fir Europa.



15 Aug 2018 06:27:54
Can we have a poll on whither you would want blue89 sitting anywhere near you at Ibrox because you know he would spend his entire 80 mins at the game moaning at certain players.



15 Aug 2018 07:26:03
Unfortunately Jyf there is plenty of folk like that at Ibrox mate. Soul destroying.



15 Aug 2018 07:44:16
Andy Halliday is not quality but what he brings to the dressing room in enough to keep the lad! Please stop moaning about Andy Halliday Love him he plays for the short! Or at least, tries to.



15 Aug 2018 08:31:21
Jyf I think you have replied to the wrong post, happens to the best of us. Aye that filthy bunch of reprobates just can't keep away, they are 💩ing themselves that we might actually be ready to challenge them it's sad. I just hope we can take something from the old firm game when it comes, a good win tomorrow would be just the ticket.



14 Aug 2018 21:16:33
Unrelated but I've been reading this forum for over a year everyday before work I was just wondering how much people were in stitches today can't wait to play THEM in a few weeks so excited never felt like this in a long time #letsgo.



14 Aug 2018 18:37:59
I think left back is actually Andy hallidays best position, not saying he's better than Flanagan or beresic but he's honest and IMO better than hodson so can we just get behind him and stop the sniping.



14 Aug 2018 19:33:20
With halliday in the team in any position were essentially a man down.



14 Aug 2018 19:46:31
No we’re not.



14 Aug 2018 20:10:31
Aye, Halliday should be left back in the changing rooms!



14 Aug 2018 20:20:41
Well we’re used to playing with a man down, so we should do ok. 😂😂😂.



14 Aug 2018 20:27:50
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.



14 Aug 2018 20:59:22
Geez you want us to play with nine men now?



14 Aug 2018 21:33:26
I am not his biggest fan but as long as he gets a little bit of help and manages to cut out crosses he should do ok, I feel we can't be too defensive as that just invites pressure, get the 1st goal and keep it tight, it's certainly a dodgy one.



14 Aug 2018 22:52:23
Halliday is woeful and is never a left back. Can’t believe he is still around the first team squad and it’s worrying that he may play at left back on Thursday. Seems a few supporters have short memories and have forgotten about his diabolical displays last season especially against Celtic.



15 Aug 2018 08:36:25
Arthur your right he is not a LB, what other option have we got, if you start messing about with formations and totally change the set up then your setting yourself up for a fall, I would rather he keeps everything the same, whether anyone likes it or not Halliday is playing LB and we will have a very good chance of getting a result.



14 Aug 2018 16:47:19
I go with a 3-5-2 on Thursday with ross mccrorie, Niko and Goldson at the back. I'd have Tav and Candyass as wingbacks. Offeres us additional protection at the back and we don't need to risk playing Andy Halliday.



14 Aug 2018 17:33:21
I wouldn’t start changing formations on the eve of such a huge game. Haliday will do ok if he gets extra protection from whoever’s playing on the left flank.



14 Aug 2018 17:34:38
Im so glad you're not the manager c-bear.



14 Aug 2018 17:47:16
Ross McCrorie is not a centre back and will be exposed there why change what has been working for us if we are to tighten it up then do so in midfield as that's where game will be won. and lost.



14 Aug 2018 17:52:16
I wish folk (not everyone) would stop giving Andy Halliday such a hard time!
Yes he has his flaws and he will have the odd bad game. but so does everyone! It just grindes on me a little that he becomes the scapegoat!
The one thing you will get from the boy is commitment and desire! I think he might play an important role for us this year as he has become a plug for many positions, not many teams have someone that can play in a variety of positions!
I will support him honestly, if he has a poor game I will admit it, but I won’t slag the guy off.
I also feel SG might actually be the man manager chaps like Andy need. I really hope he has a productive season and proves a lot of doubters wrong.



14 Aug 2018 18:08:09
If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. The 2 wide midfielders will just start from deeper and tuck in which will give us the protection needed. Fully expect Tav and Halliday to keep shape and refrain from bombing on, Alfredo to knock his pan in and get a rest at weekend.



14 Aug 2018 19:30:21
Mcrorie should never play cb for us unless we have no choice. Let's face it he ain't any good in there .



14 Aug 2018 20:35:24
We're rangers supporters, so get behind andy halliday and our team!
Halliday is a rangers player, incase some of you have forgotten! Gerrard is happy to keep halliday and play him in certain games, good enough for me! Sick and tired of a minority of our supporters, continually slagging off halliday and making him the whipping boy! My message to andy halliday would be, go on andy boy and make them eat their words! The majority of us are right behind you and give you our full support!



14 Aug 2018 22:22:39
Ross mcrorie is a centre back. That's his position.



14 Aug 2018 22:53:34
I think most people agree that Halliday isn’t quite Rangers class but imagine if the poor bloke has a wee butchers on here his confidence would be blown apart he’s not that bad a player, he’s Rangers daft and weather we agree or not he’s mate it into the Rangers first team and he’s not going to give up his dream till he’s asked to leave, any fella on this site would give there right arm to play for the famous Glasgow Rangers so maybe it’s about time to cut him a bit of slack and get behind him it’s not too late for him to improve and become a decent squad player.



14 Aug 2018 23:57:55
If it’s no Morelos getting it it’s halliday or hodgson

We kn what’s going to happen windass is going to do well and the same people that slautered him are going to come on here and slauter the board firvsellin him for only 2 mil
It’s a cert. what a hoot. 🧟‍♀️ 😳😂.



15 Aug 2018 08:51:09
Halliday is no Gazza, or Albertz or even Edu, BUT he's a half decent player who is Rangers mad and plenty good enough to be a squad player, for now anyway. People are using him as a whipping bog on here now that Windass is away. The only other player who gets the same kind of abuse on here is Hodson. God help either of them if they ever do visit this website. Andy Halliday is a Rangers player and a Rangers supporter. We should all remember that before tearing him to shreds at every opportunity.



15 Aug 2018 17:54:24
We are not going to change our system for one game, I agree McGrorie is never a centre-half, we will play with 1 up front getting support up to him when we can, I think we will play a blocking game stay solid and press when they come into our half. It will be a very tuff night, but if we can get a goal I think we are thru.



14 Aug 2018 16:13:40
Hoping with the news that christoph berra out for 6 months it may open the door to cash plus player offer for lafferty.
Looks like they will need cover at the back.



14 Aug 2018 22:37:13
? And which of our center backs do you propose we offer as part of the exchange exactly?



14 Aug 2018 15:48:49
HALLLIDAY maybe lacking in finesse but has metal and plays for the jersey. just what we need thursday.



14 Aug 2018 16:17:02
Well said deecee.
Not best player in the world but always gives his all.



14 Aug 2018 16:41:33
He is nowhere near the level we need let's be honest but you know what he does have us at heart and he would die for our badge. All he wants is to win the title with us, I say c'mon andy son go make us proud👍.



14 Aug 2018 16:43:49
As much as I like Andy Halliday he no where near the standard for the game on Thursday. To be honest I think he's ok to bring on the last 10/ 15 minutes but he's far from the standard we require.



14 Aug 2018 20:54:46
Deecee, "Haliday lacking in finesse but has metal " For me that spells danger, ie, a card or 2. Yes i'm going to be honest, my belief is he is not Rangers class. What do i know you ask? What does Gerrard see in him? I can't answer that but what I've seen in him he is simply average, and average is not good enough for Rangers.



14 Aug 2018 23:59:38
I remember people on here saying that about waggy then totally freaking out when’s he’s sold for 5 mill.



15 Aug 2018 15:49:03
Did you watch him against leeds molsgoals? Derby definitely wasted 5mil and he is still nowhere near the required standard we need👍.



14 Aug 2018 12:34:55
hi fellow bears
have just read that the maribor manager has been quoted as saying that he knows how to beat rangers? pity you didn't know that for the first game pal!



14 Aug 2018 13:23:19
Has he just worked out that his team need to score more goals than we do?



14 Aug 2018 14:01:17
Let them all talk because it’s even better when we beat them. Even more funny when we steal their best player from them as well.



14 Aug 2018 15:28:53
Must have found our Haliday is playing 😫😫.



14 Aug 2018 16:15:26
Halliday on from the start, get at least 1sent off, then score more goals.
Sounds like plan?



14 Aug 2018 17:55:25
With all the experts on here why do we need Stevie Gerrard unbelievable.



14 Aug 2018 11:53:58
There's talk of Andy Halliday playing left back on Thursday night if this happens I think we are in for a long night can not remember the last time this guy had decent game never mind a good one for us Tin Hats on.



14 Aug 2018 12:11:06
Funny how our fans have this unhealthy obsession regarding Halliday but are pishing their frillies to bring back Kyle Lafferty. For a start even I know Halliday is not the best player in the squad but he is reliable and solid enough to do a job. As far as I can remember Halliday has never let us down. Lafferty on the other hand is f%#@£n hopeless. Granted scored a worldey on Saturday but other than that he was dug sh*te! I truly hope Halliday has an absolute stormer on Thursday and ram it right up you all!



14 Aug 2018 12:28:56
Colster I don’t think you can compare the two! Lafferty scores big goals for us, I don’t particularly want him back I would rather we got better but he was successful in his time at us before. When was the last time Halliday never let us down the guy is taking a large wage and is only at us because nobody else wants him! He must have a good attitude and is happy to be a squad player hence why Stevie likes him but if he was reliable he would be playing simple! Away fans don’t sing your name if your a good player and that’s a fact.



14 Aug 2018 12:41:11
Colster, never let us down? The guy is a bombscare, can you not remember he got brought of after Celtic last year only 30 mins in because he was so bad! He’s rank rotten and a complete liability. If he wasn’t a rangers fan you’d be saying get him out the door. You can’t even compare him and lafferty in the same sentence. Lafferty is classes above Halliday.



14 Aug 2018 13:03:17
colster hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Albeit Lafferty is not the most talented player in the world, he's played around 70 games for his country, played at a Euro finals (because his goals helped them get their in the qualifiers), scored goals in every title decider (titles 52, 53 and 54).

I'm not bashing Halliday, but what has he done in comparison?

Your comment is the most clueless I've seen on here in a long long time.



14 Aug 2018 13:38:13
there*.



14 Aug 2018 13:47:31
Tbf that game against them I think you could have easily taken off anyone. Everyone in a light blue jersey let themselves down that day, to put the blame soley on Halliday is a little harsh. Obviously the manager must know something you critics don't, strange one that and whilst I'm not suggesting Halliday is a world beater it just seems folk are too quick to try and find a whipping boy. He never put a foot wrong when he came on at the weekend.



14 Aug 2018 14:02:17
Tin hats pmsl 😆.



14 Aug 2018 14:05:01
Yes everyone was rank rotten that game, so that makes it even worse that he was the one that was brought off. He’s not rangers quality and it’s as simple as that. Barjonas is a better player.



14 Aug 2018 15:11:16
Sorry Blue89 but if the young lad was better wouldn't he be in and around the team instead? I'll stick with the gaffer's views for now mate.



14 Aug 2018 15:15:08
Red Ger shame about your memory . do you remember how to get up the road from govan? Or what your in govan for 😆? Andy Halliday had a good game on Sunday against St Mirren . at Ibrox. remember? The Rangers? You went to see them? Andy played well?
My goodness it’s hard.



14 Aug 2018 15:40:29
Halliday should do OK slotting into LB for this one, granted he's not great but he's experienced enough just to stick to his task and see the tie through.



14 Aug 2018 15:45:38
Halliday attitude is 100% spot on and Stevie G loves what he’s bringing to the squad esp around training ground. He’s not the most talented but he gives every ounce to the club. He deserves the fans to back him, if his own fans can’t do that then it’s embarrassing. Every player that’s pulls on the jersey deserves full backing! FANS need to get off his case.



14 Aug 2018 11:26:33
I think Lafferty had something like 12 bookings and a red last season with hearts - for a centre forward that is attrocious! Scored a cracker on saturday but also lucky to have still been on the park. If he does sign then that can't be allowed to continue.

I think he could be a good addition as quite versatile but would not be my first choice every week.



14 Aug 2018 13:42:00
Will be 2nd choice striker to Morelos if he signs. Possibly 3rd see how sadiq gets on.



14 Aug 2018 15:15:41
No he won't paul86, no he won't👍.



14 Aug 2018 11:21:26
I for one will be delighted to see Lafferty back in the royal blue, I am not too happy about the fee we are paying but think he will be a really effective signing for us and a great player to bring off the bench when we are looking for a goal late on in games.

I do worry how this will effect Sadiq's position at the club, it is clear we are rarely going to play more than 1 up front so think Sadiq will struggle to get game time. Get the feeling that Gerrard is not overly impressed with what he has seen so far.

Very happy with the squad assembled so far, business potentially done when Lafferty over the line, unless someone of real quality becomes available within our price range.



14 Aug 2018 10:36:22
I want rangers to win period no matter who we sign. trust in Gerrard . As with KYLE we all make mistakes in the past. if he helps win the league there will be a epidemic of amnesia with our fans. I want to win period.



14 Aug 2018 07:37:41
Coulibaly can start a fire by rubbing 2 ice cubes together.



14 Aug 2018 10:02:15
Coulibaly can pick an Apple from an orange tree and make the best lemonade you've ever tasted 😂.



14 Aug 2018 10:24:25
When Coulibaly misses a direct debit he charges the bank.



14 Aug 2018 11:17:43
When Coulibaly gets caught speeding, he fines the police and gives them 3 points.



14 Aug 2018 13:09:55
Coulibaly once saved liam neeson from being taken.



14 Aug 2018 13:59:42
Coulibaly lost his virginity when he was sixteen, then won it back!



15 Aug 2018 00:22:28
Coulibaly dosnt eat like a horse at mealtimes . HE eats a horse st mealtimes.



14 Aug 2018 06:24:36
I really think, louis moult would be a very good signing for rangers. He's younger than kyle lafferty and is more of a prolific goalscorer imo! In his spell in the scottish league with motherwell, he had a very good scoring record, of 1 in every 2 games. Just imagine with the chances he'd get, playing for us, how many he'd score!



14 Aug 2018 07:26:10
No for me or SG it would seem.



14 Aug 2018 08:20:08
Lafferty is better than Moult.



14 Aug 2018 09:24:20
I’m not sure what everyone’s obsession with Moult is? Yes he scored goals against us but as we all know, when he did he was scoring against one of the worst defences we’ve ever had. Everyone one of us were constantly slagging our defence as being abysmal and rightly so. Plus we’ve been down that’s road before of purchasing strikers who have done well against us, ie O’Hallaron, Sandaza, Daly, even Kevin Kyle and every one of them have been crap for us. Moult was a decent SPL level striker but we need better. At least Lafferty has done it at international level, has scored consistently against Celtic, has played for us before so knows how to handle the pressure and in my opinion is a better all round player than he was when he was here before.



14 Aug 2018 09:25:42
Think moult would score goals but lafferty a far better all round player and a proven international striker.



14 Aug 2018 14:23:40
Moult is a poor player. That's why we have not and will never show the slightest interest in him. He doesn't want to be in Scotland, he's rubbish in the English second tier. I sometimes wonder at the lack of ambition/ knowledge/ sanity of some of our fans.



15 Aug 2018 00:03:14
Dogey another bullet in him as in mcinnes. someone upbthere is watchin over us.



14 Aug 2018 06:20:17
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 14th August 2018



14 Aug 2018 01:28:46
Every night before I go to bed I am having to put the mortise lock on incase Coulabaly comes thru my door! 🤣😂.



14 Aug 2018 10:03:18
? Coulabaly dosnt use doors he walks thru walls.



14 Aug 2018 10:27:59
Coulibaly can wear a brown belt and black shoes and no one would disagree.



15 Aug 2018 00:26:24
When Coulibaly scores against the smellies he is going to wrap wee smelly griffis around a post instead of a scarf.



13 Aug 2018 23:06:32
I don’t doubt for a minute lafferty would score for us.

I just wouldn’t give hearts that kind of money or any other Scottish club for that matter.

Everyone of them have had a kick out and took a shot when we were down.

Well the lion is roaring back again. I’d spend our monies elsewhere.



14 Aug 2018 08:30:30
i agree with your sentiment jardine but logically if a player is good enough to play for rangers then we should try to sign them if they want to join us!



14 Aug 2018 11:24:09
Hearts look good this year, by signing him we are also weakening a rival club.



15 Aug 2018 09:14:34
Our target market majority transfers has been down south this window and its working so i would have thought stevie could find one more gem down there.
