Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


15 Jul 2018 20:11:35
HITC saying we should be considering an offer for McKenna at Aberdeen if the Cooper bid fails. First time I've ever agreed with anything HITC has to say. Big, strong, left footed CH with proven PL experience and at 22, and a couple Scotland caps already could have a decent sell on value. Rumours of Swansea sniffing round him with a 2M bid being considered. Surely a better and cheaper option than Cooper.



15 Jul 2018 20:26:58
HITC is a clickbait site. Churns out hundreds of articles a week based on a handful of tweets from random people. Not worth reading ever



15 Jul 2018 20:48:22
Agreed total clickbait and they'd never sell to us.



15 Jul 2018 21:26:40
I know for a fact that McKenna has no interest in coming to us. Would be a waste of a bid. If he is to leave Aberdeen its for England said it many times on here.



16 Jul 2018 00:13:50
Aye, HITC is click bait garbage that basically grab hold of any rumour even if it's just talk on sites like this and Twitter, puts it out like it's real news and hopes for clicks.

It's not uncommon to see 5+ different reports from them every day on Rangers alone.



16 Jul 2018 00:20:20
Guys, we already have better than McKenna. I think the young lad Wilson is more than ready to step in to cover, or indeed stake a claim for a regular slot



16 Jul 2018 09:45:09
Wilson should be fourth choice behaved nd goldstone Katic plus one



16 Jul 2018 13:02:36
Been saying I fancy McKenna to us for months now. Think he would be a terrific signing for that kind of cash.
and would significantly weaken one of our rivals.



15 Jul 2018 18:45:25
A lot of noise on here regarding Morelos and Windass. I personally think that the state of the general playing squad is putting these boys under more pressure.

In years gone by when a young player wasn't performing they would be taken out the first 11, allowed to come on in matches and build there confidence again.

Celtic do it very well atm, when Dembele isn't playing well, they play griffiths or Eduard. Take Dembele out the firing line for a few weeks until he is ready again.

The problem with Rangers the last couple of years is the squad has been so poor that there has been nobody else to bring in when Windass and Morelos have been playing poor.

So rather than replace/ sell the two I think we need to bolster the squad with another 2 strikers to help out, and as I've said before hopefully sadiq can be one of those strikers.



15 Jul 2018 20:56:24
The abuse Windass and Morelos get from some sections of the "support" is embarrassing. Some o you boys n lassies need a word with yourselves. I wasn't happy with Morelos attitude a lot of the time last season but he's a young boy with a bright future and works hard. Windass dares have a personality and give back some abuse after taking plenty. There are elements in this support that are embarrassing on basic human level. Especially the ones who offer advice to players who exercise their free right to show their faith, whatever that may be on how not to "endear" themselves with the support. I look forward to the disagrees.



16 Jul 2018 09:15:35
As most of you know on these pages,
i've constantly said, we should sell josh windass. Having said that, let me make it clear, that i've never booed windass at any rangers game and have never booed any glasgow rangers player, in all my years of watching rangers! I never will boo any rangers player that dons, our famous jersey!
My take on windass is he frustrates the living daylights, out of me.
There's no doubt there's a talented footballer in him, but he only does it in small flashes and can practically hide, for the remainder of the game. We just can't have that at rangers and he splits our support because of his workrate at times and putting the tools away early! He's definitely an enigma to me. Once he does something superb on the park,
he seems to think, Ach that's me done my bit and goes into a shell, for the rest of the game! Our club is hard to play for, no matter how talented you are. I truly believe that windass just can't handle playing, for a club our size and the expectation, that comes with it! He Would probably do superbly, with a smaller club, with much less expectations! He is a talented player though, of that i've no doubt! But i'll always get right behind windass, as long as he's playing in a rangers shirt! I truly want him to succeed here!



16 Jul 2018 10:20:37
Very sensible posts šŸ‘šŸ»



16 Jul 2018 10:33:20
I don't see how windass fits into gerrards style of play. No point in high pressing if you won't put a foot in, and having been to the bu1ry game and watched the shkupi game i don't think I seen him put a challenge in once. Morelos at least makes sense this way because he puts himself about up top, he just needs confidence and to learn to pass to his team mates instead of shooting at every opportunity he gets



16 Jul 2018 11:27:31
Thoroughly agree Supcoop Never have never will boo our team or players. Having said that Windass p88888s me off as he just does not seem to try or care, I think we all believe there is a player in there, but while he seems more interested in his hair than grafting for us i'll hope he's sold or bench-warming. Actually as he only seems to play for 20 mins a game perhaps an impact sub would suit him.



16 Jul 2018 15:29:40
As another poster said earlier. Made the first against shkupi by tracking backa 70 yards n winning the ball back starting move that led to first goal. How did he do that without pressing or putting a foot in? Some of you see what u want to see same ones wanting cummings to sign one of the laziest players I have saw at rangers wasnwasn't xactly the master of hard graft.



15 Jul 2018 18:25:30
Good to see our Under 19s have won the FC Viktoria tournament in the Czech Republic. Our youngsters are certainly being properly groomed these days.



15 Jul 2018 19:06:44
Iā€™m on holiday and was watching it with a mixed crowd, even the Croatian fans were agreeing? The OP has meme lost for words, I though he was at the wind up?



15 Jul 2018 20:13:27
Astounding. Some of our fans disagree that our under 19s are doing well and have won a prestigious tournament! Or maybe there's an infestation of idiots?



15 Jul 2018 20:34:03
Is that muppet Murty involved with the under 19?



16 Jul 2018 08:15:55
"Muppet Murty" you really don't have a clue, -this is a guy who's very good at his job I. e. discovering young footballers with potential and developing that potential-look at recent youth team results and how do you think we got Middleton? . He also seems a decent and honourable man.



16 Jul 2018 10:45:39
Yately show some respect. He is one of us



16 Jul 2018 15:31:10
Agree jboy good at his job with dev elopement teams. Never a first team manager but he should never have been thrown in at deep end to begin with?



15 Jul 2018 18:14:41
Getting a bit worried about the lack of striking options we have. Who do you think we should try sign.



15 Jul 2018 18:37:50
Somebody soon to get them settled not too far from Aberdeen game!



15 Jul 2018 20:15:22
Jack Marriott get him signed keep morellos Cooper was very good with millwall get him and 55 is ours let's go



15 Jul 2018 16:41:14
Anybody who thinks var is a good idea that should surely prove the faults that still exist. 5 mins nearly to give one of the harshest pens u will ever see. And why did the ref watch it in slow motion obv it is going to look worse. Hands by his side and he's 2 foot away how can that be deliterate?



15 Jul 2018 16:46:25
I know. All it's doing is creating another dimension to controversial deceisions



15 Jul 2018 18:21:01
I've said for a while now that VAR is not the way for football to go.



15 Jul 2018 18:42:16
It was a penalty all day long, the ball changed direction and his hand was in an unnatural position. Great decision and great to see football moving into the 21st century, hope itā€™s rolled out over all football!



15 Jul 2018 18:57:21
Please tell me you are joking hollow? In what way was it an unnatural position?



15 Jul 2018 19:02:00
hollow, are you on the glue? šŸ˜³



15 Jul 2018 19:05:13
Eh, his hand was head level? Whatā€™s natural about that? Not even worth complaining about penalty all day long.



15 Jul 2018 19:05:50
Sorry Parky, I agree with hollow, his arm/ hand make a very quick downward movement towards the ball in my opinion.
Very harsh certainly but a pen none the less



15 Jul 2018 19:26:04
Drugs are bad hollow. Terrible decision. Why not use it for the dive before Frances first goal? . It will ruin football.



15 Jul 2018 19:56:52
I donā€™t disputing it could have been used more but it was a penalty everyday of the week! Iā€™d have liked to see it used more for bookings for diving but itā€™s a great step forward for football



15 Jul 2018 20:14:56
His hand was waist height hollow not head height what we're u watching? He was also 2 feet away when ball was flicked it on he makes no attempt to handle it. It's ashocker of a decision mate.



15 Jul 2018 20:28:15
Clearly waist height. They showed it multiple times how could you possibly think it was head height?



15 Jul 2018 20:38:25
Not sure what game you boys were watching? Have you lot been on the sause? Although there have been clearer penalties anybody who has paid the game at a reasonable level will know thatā€™s a penalty!



15 Jul 2018 21:50:15
Not a chance mate. Played junior and amateur football for nearly 20 year and that's one of worst decisions I've ever saw. If celtic got gave that against us u eould be raging. Did u listen to mark clattenburgs view on it? Also the ref shouldn't have watched ithe n slow motion he's suppose to watch it in real time



15 Jul 2018 22:01:27
my love for football is slowly dissolving due to ridiculous var decisions, diving over paid prima donnas you can't put a tackle in nowadays its becoming a non contact sport



15 Jul 2018 20:51:55
Hollow55 you mean like Shearer, Ferdinand, Lineker and every other pundit except Wright who said it was never a penalty? Or the ex-pro who is sitting beside me right now?



15 Jul 2018 22:19:42
Anyone who has played the game at a decent level will know that's a penalty. OK Pele settle. For a start it was only head height if your a midget. Secondly the ball was flicked on 2 or 3 yards In front of him so unless you are the flash there is no chance your getting your hand out of the way. Also if VAR had been used for the 1st goal there would have been no free kick to score from. Anyone who has played the game at a decent level, i bet you couldnt hit a barn door with a banjo and being good at something doesn't give you better eye sight so what are you even talking about.



15 Jul 2018 23:21:26
Spill duty calls lol. Got to agree tho that's a pen the game is screwed



15 Jul 2018 23:21:41
Funny guy Jordy15, well done managed to construct a great argument, loved the Pele comment. You must sit up all night laughing at yourself!



15 Jul 2018 23:41:34
If u look at it again you'll see his hand was head height then moved it to around his waist height which prob made it a penalty very harsh though as they were so close to each other.



16 Jul 2018 12:28:46
The most important fact I think that is being lost here is if the boy didnā€™t touch and redirect with his hand it goes straight to two French forwards. deliberate for me Iā€™m afraid .



16 Jul 2018 15:34:33
Better reflexes than a cat then. Another point people are missing mold is that var is only supposed to be used for a clear and obvious referee error. U really think that was clear and obvious looking at the amount of opinions around the decision?



16 Jul 2018 17:31:18
Aw Hollow don't be like that, just a bit of banter. Aside from the silly jibes I did put forward my reasons for disagreeing with you, you just didn't like the way I worded it. Fair enough I'll know better next time.



15 Jul 2018 15:12:23
Windass the whipping boy.

Starting to feel sorry for this boy. The stick he's getting is a shambles, first game of the season.

He had a poor game up front on Thursday, but can I remind everybody that it was Tavernier who lost the ball against Shkupi and it was Windass who ran about 40 yards to cover him, nicked the ball off of the player and started the break that ended in the first goal being scored. Without Windas starting that move with his tacking back we would not have opened the storing at that point.

That is something people moaned he did not do last season? Give the boy a break fs.



15 Jul 2018 15:28:23
Problem is Windass has too many poor games. and doesn't have what it takes to be a consistent performer



15 Jul 2018 15:59:23
Windass maybe has had some dodgy games, can't see how booing the lad will help though.



15 Jul 2018 18:20:03
I'm sorry I cannot see giving Windass any more chances, looks disinterested for most of the game, I know there is a player in there we have all seen it. Unless they are prepared to sweat blood and tears I have no time for them anymore. Can't count the number of times I supported Barry McKay on here and Windass is worse.



15 Jul 2018 18:35:29
Have been supporting and going to watch glasgow rangers everywhere, over the last 40 odd years or so, but I would sell windass in a heartbeat!
He just hasn't got the full package, imo to play for the famous glasgow rangers, simple as that!



15 Jul 2018 19:18:42
Super cooper tend to agree, sell him



15 Jul 2018 21:53:37
But Jason cummings has coops? your bigging him up on other threads n he didn't exactly set the Heather alight either? Take windass goals n assists out last year wed have struggled for top 6 give thekid a break



15 Jul 2018 22:51:56
So how do all of you experts explain why SG wants to keep Windass and has backed him to succeed?

What do you know that SG doesnā€™t?



16 Jul 2018 10:54:25
Tend to agree wi you frustrated. think the problem might be he just runs out of steam and goes into a shell to recover his stamina and breathing . maybe itā€™s summit the physios could help with . he just appears exhausted after a burst of energy



16 Jul 2018 15:37:48
I font deny he's frustrating mols but there's a player in there n he's just a kid. Can't argue with his return last year tho some of the abuse he gets is bang of of order. Then all the sensitive souls gets all worked up if he gives a bit back to the fans.



15 Jul 2018 13:00:07
Just saw Liverpool bury result, maybe they will fancy loaning some of our players!



16 Jul 2018 10:56:50
Aye wonder if the Liverpool team and Klopp are getting as much stick as some of our mob are giving our team for beating a team 6.0 that they could only draw with and then a European team 2.0



15 Jul 2018 11:55:32
Josh windass is a training ground player its as simple as that.

He's the type of player who makes it impossible for the manager to not start him due to his training ground performances.

You see the instagram training videos etc. "windass wins shooting competition" scoring 25yards top bins. running down the line and chipping the keeper. 1 2 passes great movement and slotting the ball past the keeper.

SEEN IT PLENTY OF TIMES!

HE JUST CANNOT PERFORM CONSISTENTLY FOR 90MINUTES AT A CLUB THE SIZE OF RANGERS WHEN HE NEEDS TO BE ON FORM 30 GAMES OUT OF 38 ATLEAST!

The boy just isn't a ranger i actually cannot stand him. 3 seasons and he's still rotten.



15 Jul 2018 14:05:42
Harsh but very hard to disagree with!



15 Jul 2018 14:09:37
90 mins . Der Goalie I ainā€™t seen him play a good hour

10/ 15 here and there tops - flits in and out of games

the lads got bags of ability but not enough ticker am afraid

at our club you need both in spades



15 Jul 2018 14:59:33
Itā€™s simple we wonā€™t challenge sellik with Windass and Morelos leading the line next season we need better! ALThough they havenā€™t proved themselves at Liverpool I would sell them and replace them with solanke and markovic who would take it to the next level. I donā€™t think i could handle another season watching the two of them missing chance after chance.



15 Jul 2018 15:13:38
Been saying this about Morelos for months and get shot down every time he's never what we need pitiful end product every time



15 Jul 2018 15:20:08
Also, 3rd top goal scorer in the SPFL last season, 6 assists and only played in his proper position since Murty was brought back in.

Aye, training ground player šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø Clueless.



15 Jul 2018 15:35:12
Name me one game last season you watched windass all game and he was outstanding Bearmode91?



15 Jul 2018 15:45:32
See post above. Stats donā€™t lie.

Iā€™m not even going to get into a debate with you about any forward player being ā€˜outstandingā€™ all game. If thatā€™s your logic then itā€™s pountless, we will never agree. He put the ball in the back of the net more times than any Celtic player and any other player at Rangers other than Morelos. Took his chance against Celtic when it came also.

Heā€™ the whipping boy simple as that.



15 Jul 2018 15:56:14
A fat lazy kris Boyd at 34 years old was the leagues top goalscorer last season that says it allšŸ‘šŸ¼ Your correct Iā€™m no into a debate but if you think and our fans think josh Windass is the standard of player we need to halt selliks quest for 10 in a row then we would be as well handing them it the now!



15 Jul 2018 16:04:37
First competitive game of the season (which we won) and all the experts on here are wanting rid of this boy and that boy. We're all entitled to our opinions but when someone puts on the rangers top he'll get my full support. Booing one of our own players? What the f*ck is that all about?



15 Jul 2018 16:34:59
Same old same old, all the experts on football and players and formations who call themselves Rangers supporters, supporter means exactly what it says, support your team, support your players, one competitive game and you lot are out in force, leave Morelos and Wind ass alone and sort your own sorry life out, yes it's a banter page and yes it's most likely your opinion that most of you never say imo. They are Rangers players, Gerrard must see something in them or trust me they would be out the door, I know the stats regarding both player last season and taking into account they are both young there is lots of room for improvement which will come. But you expert armchair managers know best. Oh and if you want to have a go at me for expressing my opinion then feel free, but look at all my post first and see I don't slag off young players or any players, why? They play for Rangers and they all deserve a chance and time.



15 Jul 2018 16:53:29
Of course you're entitled to an opinion but so is everyone else on here i'm sure an we ALL want a successful team Blind loyalty is never a good thing a lot of opinions on here feel Morelos Windass will not take us forward I happen to agree, you don't its fine lines sure SG knows better than us
and he will get more time than most our first 4 league games will set tone for season



15 Jul 2018 18:38:58
Your 100% spot on JGG1, regarding josh windass mate, that's all i'm going to say, or all i need to say!



15 Jul 2018 19:56:06
Been going to rangers games for 35 years always cheered on anybody who puts on a rangers top no matter who he is or how bad a player he is. Will never boo a rangers player either! But the point Iā€™m putting across possibly coming into one of our most important seasons is that the firepower we have in Morelos and windass isnā€™t cutting the mustard unfortunately! I could be wrong not often regarding RAngers but thatā€™s my opinionšŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§



16 Jul 2018 15:50:39
Mark Warburton frank mcpartland joey Barton bruno Alves micheal o halloran carlos pena and more u bigged up and backed to be rangers legends mate. And your picking on a guy who has done a better job for us than all of those put together supercooper. Thank god the windass decision has nothing to do with u



Pascal Gross

15 Jul 2018 11:24:33
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Pascal Gross



15 Jul 2018 17:03:02
Yes give Morelos and Windass support when they pull on the jersey.
At the moment Morelos is lacking a bit of confidence and Windass is more suited to playing in the number 10 role.
What we do need is for SG to sign an experienced striker but who?



15 Jul 2018 10:24:40
If Liverpool prefer to send Wilson to championship maybe they will feel the same with solanke. would origi be an option? If not who could we get in?



15 Jul 2018 13:32:36
Is there really any need for us to sign a striker on loan.
Surley we have could find a striker for round about 2 or 3 million who we can then sell on further down the line.
There is plenty strikers out there abroad who could do a job for us



15 Jul 2018 16:03:17
ive been screaming origi on this site for past month, we are not getting ings, southampton bid 20 million for him and that's a player who has been injured for 2 years, shows how bad the english market is to get players. origi would do great job if we could get him on loan. big if may i add. hope mr allen has a magic wand because we need better firepower up front. london jock



15 Jul 2018 16:32:19
if there are plenty of strikers abroad? makes you wonder why southampton want to pay 20 mill for one who isn't really worth it according to some on here?



15 Jul 2018 17:57:37
Briangers fan there is plenty that could do a job for us like the lad from roma we just got bigger teams will not take a gamble on these players but if we do and it works out we will be rewarded for it further down the line



16 Jul 2018 11:52:24
Everyone is having kittens about our strikers . were we no top goals scored last season but it was the defence that let us down . ok so we only beat a team that Liverpool could only draw with 6. 0 instead of 10 and we only scored two against a stuffy 10 men behind the ball european team and yes our strikers didnā€™t excell innthat game but do we need to get in a panic? We have the boy from Roma too so I would say settle down girls stevie had it on hand



16 Jul 2018 16:53:09
Agree mols last couple of seasons has not been good enough and u could understand people getting impatient and annoyed. But one friendly and one qualifier p2 w2 scored 8 conceded 0 and folk are at it slready



15 Jul 2018 09:58:15
I wonder if we could play Morelos in the hole behind another striker only reason I say this is because we play one up front for the last season or 2 and he drops deep all the time only the odd run in behind and his movement is better with his back to goal for some reason and let's be honest when he's been in great positions he struggles to hit the target I'm not getting at him although it sounds like it I'm a big fan of his hold up play brings Murphy and other players in so maybe him bringing these guys into the game with his hold up play and someone running off the shoulder as he's battling away we would only reap the rewards and maybe he will take more of his chances this season after a break I love the guy but just a thought not my job though heads killing after thinking lol c'mon Stevie bring home 55.



15 Jul 2018 10:32:34
Good post joe. liking your thinking. I would give that a shot



15 Jul 2018 13:09:28
Totally agree, he would be much better there than on his own upfront



15 Jul 2018 13:15:29
I agree there is a player in there and at the moment he is not a number 9. His general play is very good but to be a decent striker you have to have good shooting accuracy and be able to spring an offside trap. Morelos doesn't do either very well (at the moment) . He may improve with good coaching and experience but we don't really have the time to develop 22yr olds. For me I would try and play him in the hole or in the position Naismith used to play before he became a w@#k.

Or at least give him a strike partner to shoulder the expectation and responsibility somewhat. Hopefully Sadiq can be that striker.



15 Jul 2018 17:08:50
Exactly what i mean with the naismith thing similar positions worth a try might go tits up but at least give it a go lol



16 Jul 2018 11:58:47
Good boys thatā€™s it sorted . al phn Stevie the night



15 Jul 2018 08:49:14
Well its looking like harry wilson is going to derby on loan, he obviously wanted to go to celtic so they sent him to the championship instead. I really hope we can get 19 year old ben woodburn on loan from liverpool. I think he got 7 caps for wales last year and looks an unbelievable talent. what's your thoughts on woodburn lads, and if there's any liverpool supporters on this page. What do yous think of young woodburn.



16 Jul 2018 00:45:21
How did he want to go to Celtic



16 Jul 2018 12:01:06
Because heā€™s smelly šŸ˜³šŸ˜·
