Gerrard Wants rangers defenders to defend the badge with their lives! Too right.

Early days of course but everything Stevie G has said so far regarding Rangers is inspiring yet honest and believable.

Nuthin But A "Stevie G" Thang. Let's Go!



14 Jun 2018 21:49:41
Just how good is this Sean Clare guy his stats aren't brilliant what is his game what is his style dies he link up play or what?



15 Jun 2018 00:27:56
Hes a solid lad 6'2 i think i can see gerrard is wanting a big team to compete with the timmothy only seen bits on you tube could be a good shout tho.



14 Jun 2018 19:53:08
The way our manager steven gerrard is talking, our new glasgow rangers captain,
is more than likely going to be, big connor goldson, our new centre half! Some football media pundits already saying that our new centre half signings are of similar style, on a lesser scale obviously, to the old man utd pairing of, rio ferdinand and nemanja vidic! Goldson plays a similar style to ferdinand and katic plays a similar style to vidic! If these 2 new signings are even half as good as the man utd 2,then we'll have some partnership at the back!



14 Jun 2018 19:57:12
Let’s not set these guys up for a fall, their Goldson and Katic and hopefully they’ll both play well and gave 35 games under their belt at the end of the season



14 Jun 2018 20:42:05
I must say cooper, wether agree or disagree about what you say, you can sure put a post together. Excellent choice of words and punctuation. You should write professionally.



14 Jun 2018 22:03:15
Actually marco, the punctuation is quite poor and there is clear overuse of exclamation marks. Perhaps professional at daily rhecord standard



14 Jun 2018 23:17:52
Too many exclamation marks for me 😂😂😂



15 Jun 2018 05:54:30
Superb guys honestly! Oh sorry over use of they dam things again!
What do you call them? Gram and easy tiger, if this is the most thing that worries you guys, on these rangers rumour pages, then it really doesn't say much for you, i'm afraid! In case you've forgotten, this is a rangers rumours page, not an english language lesson! God, I never even got this grief from my english teacher, back in the day!



15 Jun 2018 09:38:10
It's fun to get educational for a moment coops!



15 Jun 2018 12:29:14
Take a joke coop. It was actually Marco that dug ye for it.

Just having a bit of bants.



14 Jun 2018 19:42:53
Will Stevie g be a tracksuit manager or a suit type? Thoughts.



14 Jun 2018 20:02:31
As long as he wins games he could wear a bin-bag pal. 😉



14 Jun 2018 20:04:28
dont care if he rocks up in a pink dress as long as were winning



14 Jun 2018 20:35:52
Suit shirt and tie I'd guess



14 Jun 2018 21:07:01
Name a Rangers manager that never wore a suit guys, suited and smart, gers tradition .



14 Jun 2018 21:26:29
Stuart McCall



14 Jun 2018 22:00:56
Suit and tie



15 Jun 2018 06:30:11
Suit. Shirt n tie and the brown brogues. It’s about tradition and standards!



15 Jun 2018 08:36:19
ffs who cares



15 Jun 2018 08:51:09
Shirt, tie, brown brogues, bowler hat and collarette. Staunch af



15 Jun 2018 15:38:13
don't really care however he will definitely be in blue suit and tie



14 Jun 2018 18:46:51
What's your opinions on trying young mccrorie at full back I think he's a cracking player but at the moment lacks the physical attributes for cb we have plenty central midfielders and Stevie g will probably strengthen there again gives us the option of pushing tav further forward as well as another 6 footer in the team.



14 Jun 2018 19:09:24
Keep him as a defensive midfielder as I feel that’s his best position and will only get better!



14 Jun 2018 19:14:23
too slow to turn and run; will give away penalties like celtic and Hamilton; much better attacking the ball in front of him



14 Jun 2018 19:19:33
He was one of our best midfielders last season so he should keep his spot there unless someone who has came in is better and can prove it. My 3 central midfielders would be McRorie Rossiter and Arfield



14 Jun 2018 19:40:07
Said before I think mcrorie is best in midfield but could easily play right back



14 Jun 2018 21:16:36
No use guessing a midfield or any other position just now as I reckon there are a few more signings still to come in .



14 Jun 2018 21:35:31
We defiantly need a creative No 10 (Windass won’t cut it) and anther striker



14 Jun 2018 17:01:38
Quick question. Would you sell the naming rights to Ibrox to win the league next season?



14 Jun 2018 17:22:36
Definitely at the end of the day it would still be Ibrox.



14 Jun 2018 17:30:17
no chance no need to sell your soul, give steve g a bit of time and no name change will be needed



14 Jun 2018 18:37:16
I’d cut my balls off tae win that title and stop u know what.



14 Jun 2018 18:38:18
Cant for life of me understand this naming rights if we got 10m to call it whatever, its 10m up and we would still go to ibrox that would never change
We're not in a position to knock back "free money"



14 Jun 2018 19:17:33
G
good point and I agree, I would cut off your balls to win the title



14 Jun 2018 19:24:18
I agree. The old lady will always be Ibrox to me no matter what



14 Jun 2018 19:59:50
sorry but there’s no amount off money that’s worth destroying the leagacy of a stadium, fair enough a training ground doesn’t matter but ibrox shouldn’t even be considered

that’s like teams like Utd wanting to change the name off old Trafford to Adidas arena or Liverpool changing Anfield to new balance arena. fans would cause a riot. The name off the stadium is just as important as the stadium itself imo I might be 19 but think I’ve got more sense than some people on here that would be okay with this happening



14 Jun 2018 20:03:54
Selling stadium naming rights should be a no brainer, as mentioned before it'll always be Ibrox and a naming rights deal is only for a fixed contract. If 32Red wanted to give us £6m for 3 years as an example, would you honestly say no?



14 Jun 2018 20:36:51
if they offer 3 million a season and call it hummel stadium, take it we need all the revenue we can get, its still ibrox as we no it, were so far behind in revenue compared to teams in england. its only a name afterall



14 Jun 2018 22:37:48
What if I cut 1 off? Can we call Hummel-brox



14 Jun 2018 16:23:21
It's quiet too quiet. All has gone quiet on our transfer rumoured targets front. Which leaves us armchair experts plenty of scope to make up our own much better than the media linking us with everybody.



14 Jun 2018 15:03:42
Alan Hutton has signed a new deal with Aston villa.



14 Jun 2018 15:11:19
Good never wanted him



14 Jun 2018 16:18:12
Would have loved him back but the 2 English teams I watch on TV are Villa and Hull so :) .



14 Jun 2018 16:23:43
How sad Bluepete



15 Jun 2018 14:31:55
Hutton maybe back in the day, but currently not setting Heather on fire so no thanks.



14 Jun 2018 14:10:16
Just a wee note to kenny miller thank you for your years of service. Its a shame it didn't end the way you wanted. I know players and x players come on this site so if your reading this Km. i'm sure you will get the chance to pull on the famous royal blue top again when you retire and join the legends teams.

Good luck in finding a new club and thank you for some great memories of some wonderful goals. Ps if you stay in scotland please don't score against us make sure u have a wee injury that day.



14 Jun 2018 14:56:19
Absolutely agree with OP.
His commitment to the club is without question.



14 Jun 2018 15:18:10
Must be our smelly friends across the city hitting the disagree both him and wallace where only saying what we all felt after that shocking display as for wallace i see a lot of fans on here wanting him sold. When fit wallace is in the top 5 left backs in scotland scores goals assists and can defend



14 Jun 2018 15:28:13
More leaks from kenny miller than a poor plumber. Will never be a Legend.



14 Jun 2018 18:01:33
I hit disagree stewartyblue. don't see how miller can be classed as a legend. He is taking out club to task for theif decision to reprimand him for his behaviour. Not the actions of a legend in my eyes. For wyat happened behind tye scenes we will never really know. So no point in taking sides. Its the actions since and of his wife. He didn't have to go public. But chose too. that's what i have issue with. Keep it in house. I feel sorry for how his tenure has ended tho. As its not a great way to end a 3rd spell with our club. But everything that's happened was within his control.



14 Jun 2018 22:09:08
Miller will never be a legend. Good player, scored some important goals, but, for me a mercenary.

A legend would never play for celtic.



14 Jun 2018 12:54:41
I think that tav would be an Ideal wing back or right winger. He has pace to burn. thoughts fellow bears.



14 Jun 2018 14:16:02
Unfortunately i would have to disagree, he had a better season but is not quick enough. He might be fit but not quick enough. Plenty of people would like to keep him because he faired better than the rest last season but he is still not good enough for where we aim to be. If we get offered 3 mill i think we should take it. Remember we finished 3rd, squad player at very best but we could get better i think



14 Jun 2018 14:22:24
He's already a wing back



14 Jun 2018 15:05:02
He is a great wing back is he not?



14 Jun 2018 12:45:53
I'm hoping our main signing this season will be Solanke, i think we need around 4 strikers that can score in Scottish football, I hope Gerrard is looking at Rhian Brewster, it would be another loan as Liverpool have already told German clubs to **** off when enquring about him.

Solanke
Morelos (personally I'd sell him)
Cummings
Brewster.



{Ed001's Note - Brewster is looking to leave Liverpool for more first team opportunities.}

14 Jun 2018 13:02:22
I would prefer a striker next to him with more experience as solanke is far from the finnished article



14 Jun 2018 13:08:11
really get rid of morelos and keep cummings, your having a laugh are you not, what does cummings bring that morelos doesnt



14 Jun 2018 14:06:34
Morelos twice the player of cummings



14 Jun 2018 14:30:56
SG is reportedly willing to let Jason Holt leave Ibrox.

What about a swap deal plus cash for Lafferty?
19 goals for Hearts last season.



14 Jun 2018 15:15:58
Would take the big man back any day.



15 Jun 2018 05:24:23
I don't understand why people still like Morelos so much. He is not a team player only plays for himself which is not a true Ger. When he played alongside Cummings he never passed to him once. May score some good more difficult goals but misses so many simpler chances he's too much of a liability in tight games where we need a goal. His second half was abysmal. Let's get some money for him. We should have taken the China offer in January.



14 Jun 2018 12:45:34
I doubt we will hear anything on the lad Solanke until after the World Cup all three Liverpool strikers are involved Klopp will want them all home safe and injury free before sanctioning a loan for the boy IMHO.



14 Jun 2018 12:43:08
What does everyone think about Ryan Jack? he seems to have gone under the radar with all the new signings arriving, I personally believe he would be great in the middle of the park alongside Arfield?



14 Jun 2018 13:45:36
Just because he been injured not really heard his name wallace was the same while out arfield jack rossiter my 3 for midfield



14 Jun 2018 15:08:49
Jack would haft to be a back up player



14 Jun 2018 12:08:25
Keep reading about mcburnie. I think if we need this type of player then Lafferty is the guy we should sign.



14 Jun 2018 13:08:10
100% agree cf bear, he would be a very good signing for us



14 Jun 2018 14:21:47
We need a big game player to play in MF every week, everyone named above would do better with less responsability, need a player ready to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Neither of the current MF carry that aura, we need a hard man!



14 Jun 2018 14:49:52
You would get Lafferty and Louis Moult for less than u would pay for McBurnie



14 Jun 2018 14:59:21
Copland01 and between all three of them you wouldn't find a player good enough for us.



14 Jun 2018 16:03:20
Dutycalls

Any names who are good enough within our transfer budget?



14 Jun 2018 17:11:51
Lafferty and Morelos would score for fun and compliment each other I think



14 Jun 2018 18:54:50
Copland01 plenty, mate, and the gaffer is bringing them in, so I'll leave it to him.



14 Jun 2018 12:02:04
Personally I'd like to see a dominant midfielder and a first choice striker come in, keeping Morelos for the bench and cover and I feel we're good to go 'til the next transfer window.



14 Jun 2018 11:50:39
So World Cup aside, Tomorrow’s fixtures are announced and got me wondering who do you guys want to be drawn in the 1st game off the season and why?

Know a lot will say Celtic but for me if we got Hibernian at home at our 1st game off the season it would be perfect, Would love to see us get some justice for the 3-2 defeat last season at our 1st home game and for me would be a huge sign off progress under Gerrard knowing we have confidence going into our 1st home game and put Lennon in his place after parading on the pitch at the end off last season 5-5 thriller lol. so yeh who you guys wanting?!



14 Jun 2018 12:40:35
Doesnt matter who we play we just need to win.



14 Jun 2018 12:47:57
Would rather see us get someone like Livy at home however I imagine we will be away from home as celtic will play at home on opening day.



14 Jun 2018 12:48:25
Think its important to build a bit of momentum at start of gerrard reign



14 Jun 2018 12:51:10
Whos saying celtic? Impossible to get them our 1st home game.



14 Jun 2018 14:45:24
It wI'll be StMirren away hopefully -



14 Jun 2018 15:16:21
Our first game is away. Champions play at home first game



14 Jun 2018 10:27:58
Hello fellow bears worldwide,
I am feeling cautiously optimistic about the new season, l think most would agree that the manager may be a bit of an unknown but, l've just got a feeling he will put a much more competitive team onto the pitch, just ready to fight for everything. I also think Brenda does crack when under pressure.
Plus the mhanks are all over all things Glasgow Rangers.



14 Jun 2018 14:35:25
". Brenda does crack. ", lol!



14 Jun 2018 10:24:44
quality right back and two forwards will be in good shape

What u reckon folks?



14 Jun 2018 11:24:49
Tav has been our top performer for past 2 season's. Albeit he has frailties defensively, I am more than confident Steven Gerrard will improve that aspect of his game, as he will in improving all players in the squad. He is so determined to succeed through hard work, knowledge and experience, and we should all be shaking with excitement at the prospects for this and future seasons. # let's go!



14 Jun 2018 09:55:00
Ok folks so with a number of signings already made and its common knowledge that there is more to come! would you agree with the following departures?

Fod or alnwick (cant see us paying the wages of 3 first team goalkeepers when there is no need especially with a good upcoming under 21's GK)

Dodoo - already gone

Halliday

Holt

O'Hallaron

Herrera

Hodson

Forrester

Wallace?



14 Jun 2018 10:26:14
add cordoso to that list
hopeless



14 Jun 2018 13:14:01
Would agree with your list doc and with the addition of Cardoso by till a die. I know you put a question mark against Wallace but surely he will be told he can go given he is in dispute with the club.



14 Jun 2018 13:52:23
Yeah Lpool Ger just wasn't sure what the story with Wallace is as its been very quiet, does Cardoso deserve at least one more season as a back up if no other CB's are signed? he still is young enough and surely if he bulks himself up a bit he's in with a chance.



14 Jun 2018 09:49:34
What's happening with Ryan Jack guys? I hope he gets a chance under Gerrard, he was great until injury.



14 Jun 2018 12:49:16
I think he will get his chance back in the side. Not an automatic pick though



14 Jun 2018 09:47:14
I'm very happy with the transfer activity so far, i'm still holding out for a marquee striker or am I hoping for too much. Still looking promising for next season. Let's go.



14 Jun 2018 10:40:13
I think our big signing will come around abou the strip launch and will be a striker.



14 Jun 2018 08:59:02
With 2 new young defenders in and an seasoned professional like Alves and cover with mcrorie in the squad. Would we not be wasting money if any deal was to reappear for skrtel. Just seems he is not really needed now. Money could be spent on right back and strikers.



14 Jun 2018 09:52:47
What if Alves leaves and Goldson or Katic are injured?
Skrtel is on a massive salary which In my opinion makes the move highly unlikely but u never know.
I do agree we need a couple of strikers and if Morelos is part of the Skrtel deal we will need to sign 3 strikers.
We need another CB but is Skrtel the one but we also need to keep Morelos unless we are offered a fee we can't refuse.



14 Jun 2018 10:10:46
Totally agree. Neither Goldson or Katic have signed up to sit on the bench and neither should. Skrtel's no longer needed and it would be an insane deal to bring him in at 33 and lose Morelos at 21. The young striker is a talented footballer and still learning and Fenerbahce must know they're chancing their arm. Can't see Gerrard falling for it.



Review Of The Day 14th June 2018

14 Jun 2018 07:32:32
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 14th June 2018



14 Jun 2018 07:25:40
if fernabache are jetting in to sniff around morelos don't sell ourselves short, young goalscorers are hard to get the turks are not skint so hold tight, if 10 million was offered take it. morelos wants away at 1st big bidder



14 Jun 2018 10:27:36
10 mill

did you see the chances he has missed



14 Jun 2018 11:54:59
See Hartsons at it again if it’s not him it’s one of the other saying we’ve no chance this season even though I don’t think we will myself if we i would be ramming down his big mouth if we won league. never shut up about rangers



14 Jun 2018 03:38:56
Good to see Hartson having a early dig. Tom Boyd I believe was on a few days earlier with similar obsessive comments. Twitching is always good to see. let's GO.



14 Jun 2018 05:26:06
They’ve all been at it. The hatred from those idiots is crazy



14 Jun 2018 07:12:56
You see Tom Boyd in Hamilton Asda and the guy is shuffling around terrified. Makes you wonder why these guys just don’t stay quiet and live the quiet life with no hassle. People will only want to have a dig back if you do yourself. Strange



14 Jun 2018 09:48:32
The dark side are starting to sound increasingly nervous. Good. The thing about having things all your own way for years is that, once things go wrong, even minor setbacks, the wheels can come off very quickly. The likes of Boyd and Hartson have done nothing but pile extra pressure on their former club. Mark my words- when they suffer a few setbacks this season, things will start to spiral. Any negatives will be magnified ten fold because of the way they strolled through these last 2 seasons. The pressure is already building.



14 Jun 2018 10:06:46
So it’s ok for big dj Barry goram hateley all to have an opinion but not any ex Celtic players? And ok for them to be fearful doing their shopping really disturbed opinion that?



14 Jun 2018 10:09:04
Hartson has gone out of his way to talk about Rangers to whoever will interview him in the last 24 hours,
Enough said!



14 Jun 2018 11:20:21
Hartson has never got over the fact that we turned him down and he ended up with them. As for Tom Boyd, he is a total irrelevance!



14 Jun 2018 00:23:33
Would still really like to see Moult sign for us during the summer. Guy has scored goals in this league against everyone including us and them, physical and great work rate. Hasn't worked out for him at Preston but he would definitely add quality imo and be affordable. Would be nice to add the likes of Solanke and the other bigger names suggested but realistic Moult and one other for me.



14 Jun 2018 05:35:34
GARBAGE. Fact Moult died at Preston showed SPFL AND A bad Gers side was his level. I could name ten affordable forwards ahead of him. Only being continually brought up because he scored against us which with our defence last season wasn't that difficult.



14 Jun 2018 05:42:44
Yip mate! I also think louis moult and dominic solanke, would be very good additions, to our frontline! Always wanted and rated moult, when he played for motherwell!



14 Jun 2018 07:08:31
Moult would probably fit into the mould Gerrard is going for in that he’s big and physical as well. Proven goal scorer in the league also which we will need.



14 Jun 2018 07:53:45
Agree guys, we should give Moult a chance!



14 Jun 2018 09:28:37
Not for me he has turned us down already we should be aiming higher than moult.
Plus he is damaged goods re sell on fee as if can't cut it with preston.



14 Jun 2018 09:33:46
Moult appears to be a good pro and a likeable guy, but if that's the case why not keep Herrera? The way we are taking shape I don't know if he'd be a step up.



14 Jun 2018 11:52:40
On you got then Millerbrand. Who are your ten?



14 Jun 2018 11:53:50
Ok MillerBrandWilson!

Go for it! Name 10 better value strikers that we could get in. Remembering that we will likely need more than 1 so he would have to be willing to sit on bench.
We are replacing Miller, Herrera and Cummings at least with possibly Morelos going too. Therefore 2-3 strikers may be needed and I'd be happy with him being 1 of them.



13 Jun 2018 22:30:31
Does anyone think there will be any more signings before we head to Spanish training camp?



14 Jun 2018 08:14:43
They reckon 1 maybe 2 before Sunday.



14 Jun 2018 08:24:07
I think there needs to be more signings. I suppose they are waiting to see about getting players out first. Would like to see a creative midfielder and a couple of strikers, need at least one experienced striker. Personally would like to see new signings given as much time together as possible before European qualifiers.
