Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

Very pleased with the appointments made today. Firstly I think we need to be realistic about players coming in; Obviously we can't afford to splash the cash, therefore a mixture of youth and experience will be added by Warburton. Here's a list of players That I believe will be on the shortlist and will possibly join:
Wilson
Dallas (been brilliant for Brentford from what I've seen, although will be pricey)
Naismith (St Mirren)
Macleod (can see him coming back, whether it be a loan or permanent)
Allan (50/50 chance of joining, Hibs need the money, but we don't exactly have it either!)
Andy Halliday (wants to move back to Scotland+ Rangers fan)

Altogether if we buy all those players, baring in mind 1 or 2 are free and maybe a loan, that's around the £1.5-£3million I reckon that's within budget. Also we have to remember a lot of unknown lower league players will be signed. However look at Andy Gray, moved from Luton (conference) to Brentford (Championship) and scored 16 in first season at Brentford.

Be positive, and back the team.

Would be happy with that although I still rate vuckic he has been forgotten rather quickly would like to see him back

Agree4 Disagree2

Signings for me:

McGovern the Hamilton keeper
McLean at Aberdeen
Allan at Hibs
Sutton at Motherwell
McLeod at Brentford
Little at Preston
Telfer at Dundee Utd
Citfi at Dundee Utd

Euro Bosmans x 3
EPL loan players x 3

Plus to be honest I am confident the Dubyas will know probably better players than those above from English leagues

Exciting summer transfer window for first time in ages and it is great to be a Bear again

Tims will not have been happy with the Dubyas appointment as they may be a gamble but the potential is they are going to create something special at Ibrox and they were not expecting that anytime soon

Agree2 Disagree3

Lol kt don't kid yourself tims won't be happy? Why? Any manager has potential to be good . If you had appointed morinho , Wenger , ancelotti or even Eddie howe I would have been worried . That's not to say he won't do well but your kidding yourself on if you think Celtic fans are worried at this stage if he goes through the season unbeaten playing like Barcelona the again we would be worried but just now it could go any way . As for the FOURTEEN players you have lined up well that's just pure fantasy football straight from your imagination, lol .

Agree1 Disagree1

16 Jun 2015 11:03:51
Doesn't stop you lot coming on and obsessing about us as usual. I would be more worried about the impending CL qualifiers, though should provide some decent light relief for us.
Warburton is a gamble, yes, but his pedigree in his short career so far is all good and positive and he is well quoted in the coaching world. Obviously, the difference is most of our lot will back the manager and look positively at it, whereas your side will be hoping and praying we will again end up with egg on our faces and spend yet another year in the Championship. To be honest, I would be the same had roles been reversed. I can only hope we will be back challenging at some point in the near future, but, till then, it is what it is. Players will come in. Some will work and some won't. The new management team's philosophy will be to play attractive attacking football with the accent on passing the ball. I, for one, am looking forward to it.

Agree2 Disagree1

The Scottish MSM couldn't wait to slate Ronny Delia . So rfc should win the 1st Division by a country mile like hearts done anything less will be a huge failure.

Agree1 Disagree3

16 Jun 2015 13:58:22
Citfci is too lazy at times and that’s the last thing we need after last year.

Would love to see Allen at Ibrox though and one of his pluses is he comes from our main rivals this season. Would immediately give us a huge advantage over Hibs.

16 Jun 2015 14:28:02
Nuddy you always show yourself up to be so so bitter , lol . As I have said before these pages would get very boring if it was all about how great rangers are and how everything bad that ever happened was Celtic's fault , it is after all a banter site and it's hard to have banter when you've no opposite views . Now the op stated that we wouldn't be happy with the appointment and I pointed out that most Celtic fans at the moment most Celtic fans would be quite happy with the appointment as the guy is unproven and in Imo there are better managers out there, I would have been more worried about macinnes or Hughes both proven in the Scottish game . That's not to say in a seasons time if he has you playing like barca and beating every one in sight 4 zip I won't be . Can I just point out if the op hadn't mentioned our fans I would have read it and moved on without comment.

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 15:15:34
I doubt Warburton been a good manager won't be enough to even get Rangers promoted to the Spl this season . I don't think it will necessary be a reflection on him and Weir if they fail. Without some money to spend and to pay wages the man would need to be a magician to create a decent team at Rangers.

Agree1 Disagree2

16 Jun 2015 15:18:17
Tits is full of crap though, Delia was a laughing stock in the early games, he brought that on himself. He turned things round and has brought all the plaudits on himself too.

16 Jun 2015 15:45:23
'Can I just point out if the op hadn't mentioned our fans I would have read it and moved on without comment'

Guys, he is giving us a hint, please take heed of him, please.

16 Jun 2015 16:15:08
Cullin I very rarely give an opinion on rangers internal matters as it's not my team , I may on occasion offer an opinion on a new manager or a defeat just to give you an alternative view but I will almost always pass comment if some one tries to pass off the lies charley boy peddled to you to get you to part with your cash as the truth or if the really bitter members of your sect like noddy or sotonbear tries to pass on rubbish about my team or our fans , while totally ignoring the misdemeanours your own club and fans have committed.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 16:54:15
I'd like to know the rubbish I've said about your team or fans? I have opinions and it is a banter site (a Rangers banter site, mind you). Is it because I'm delighted when you get your seasonal pumpings in the CL qualifiers? Or is it because a dirty bomb couldn't have wiped the smile off my face for a month following Helicopter Sunday in 2005? Or the fact that the 'greatest supporters in the world' constantly misbehave home and abroad and have to be fined again and again by UEFA?
I'm so sorry if I've caused offence, Fab old bhoy. Aye right! Don't suppose you'd like to highlight the misdemeanours perpetrated on us by the football authorities? No, didn't think so.

Agree0 Disagree1

16 Jun 2015 17:53:58
Stuart McCall would have been a good Rangers manager if given time ,he knows the Scottish scene inside out. King wanted a "named" manager to sell season books for him . The Rangers fans are falling over backwards in awe of Warburton and Weir . Weir was a failure at Sheffield United and Warburton had just about 50% success at Brentford

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 17:55:59
And you never had any flare issues last season? And you were not investigated for sectarian singing ( Stan collymore incident? Sectarian or just racist you decide ) . And you didn't have a director who was a fan club LEADER , who had to resign for telling anti muslim jokes? And you didn't top the table released by police Scotland just last week for the offences at football act , with more than double the arrests than the club in second place Aberdeen? Your right enough though no fines by UEFA or fifa last year , but do you not actually have to be playing in European competition before they can fine you? Yes we were fined for letting flares off at European games but you actually think this compare's to tearing city's like Manchester and Barcelona apart when your old club used to visit? It's like comparing a shop lifter to a serial killer . Yes we have an unruly element but as your last post shows you have a very short memory and a passion for rewriting history.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 18:01:13
Fab, you should not assume anything. I can tell you that neither Green or Whyte got me to part with any money. If anything, their actions made me more blasé towards football, than I was then. As for your team, they do not interest me, that is why I do not comment on their page.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 21:00:37
Jeez Fab, press those veins back into your head and go and lie down in a darkened room. Now breathe.

Fabidoo

Be honest had Rangers been stuck with the same old same old in McCall or heaven forbid Davies you would have thought ho hum nothing new no change and with Delilah changing Celtic to the modern Euro way of living your life 24/7 as an athlete Rangers were going to get left behind. Whereas with the way Warburton believes the game should be played and the response it seems to elicit from both young and experienced players, there is a worry that should he be the real deal there is a very good chance Rangers will be competitive in 2 seasons which looking at us in the 2-0 Cup game would have never seemed likely.

I personally felt exactly that when Delilah was appointed, risky but if he gets it right Celtic could progress so much as a European style team, I would have been much happier if you had appointed a McCallesque type such as Jackie MacNamara or John Hughes, not that you would have just for comparison's sake

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Jun 2015 12:03:54
Kt absolutely right , my point which seems to have got lost was not that Warburton is not a good manager ( I don't know enough about him to say either way ) or that he won't be successful ( only time will tell ) it's that you said the tims are worried , I don't think we are yet . If the guy was a morinho , ancelotti or Wenger then I would be shaking, but as it is I don't think we will worry until he has proved himself.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 17:38:14
Is it just me or is anyone else a little disappointed with the quality of players being linked with us? Maybe Allen and 1/2 aside the rest seem average to me

What u expecting mate we got another season in the championship not going to attract decent names unless we throw money we ain't got at them like black mculloch to a name a few!young up n coming and hungry players lookin to make a name for themselves should be the way to go In my opinion who r u not happy with mate?

Don't be to disappointed it's just banter talk, the guys are just in the door let's wait and see who they bring in take it all with a pinch of salt!

THe player mentioned are by fans not the managment team

We will have some great players at Ibrox esp with Bosmans and on loan Euro and EPL players

Agree1 Disagree1

16 Jun 2015 15:18:22
Why are they no players in yet, they have been appointed over 24 hours and not a single player in . Unlike most they need a dozen , so there is no time to waste . McCall would have had players in by now because he needed the market .

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 16:56:10
Unbelievable! If he had brought three or four players in on the first day you would have been on here bleating about panic buying! Behave yersel!

Warburton is probably expecting to be able to sign up something like what DundeebearRFC has mentioned as the Brentford owner has a war chest of £50m .

Agree1 Disagree4

15 Jun 2015 18:24:21
Expect more players to leave rangers before we sign players.

Agree2 Disagree4

16 Jun 2015 11:08:11
ALLY

Remember we have lost 11 players plus the Newcastle loanees. It doesn't take Einstein to work out there has to be a long list of players coming in. Just think of the freed up wages with these players leaving. A bit of wheeling and dealing to be done, but Warburton has built up some great contracts all over Europe. Let's hope he can attract a few gold nuggets to the club

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 15:51:13
This could be, should be, the turning point for Rangers as a football club. A modern, forward-thinking manager installed, a new board at the top with financial clout so hopefully all bears are excited as it seems this could be the dark cloud that's been over us since 2012 beginning to break!?.

Best of luck mark & davie we stand with you

I remember when McGeun got the job , the sky was the limit , everything was going to be great . Honesty, I wish Warburton well but he has only 78 games as a Manager .
There are many clubs in England who were aware of what he can and cannot achieve
The English clubs didn't show interest , as an unknown the hope is he will sell season books . The fact that Dave King wasn't there to welcome him to the club speaks volumes of how poor King thinks he will actually do.

Agree2 Disagree9

15 Jun 2015 18:28:29
Chris, your desperation is showing. The guy is just in the door, give him the chance to prove himself. However you look at it, he got an unfancied club promoted, and into the championship play offs the following season. He must have done something right. Let him be his own man and we will see what comes of it. Sigh.

15 Jun 2015 20:17:24
Come on guys. Let's be positive. We're already casting doubts over the appointment. Ffs give them a chance. They've just signed their contracts. Warburton worked wonders at Brentford. Just think what he can achieve here with hopefully the right infrastructure in place. Can't believe somebody is criticising Dave King be a use he wasn't present at the press conference. Paul Murray said he was in London on important club business. Surely that should be enough! Let's get behind the guys. I know big Davie Weir well and although I haven't spoken to him for a while, I know for a fact he'll bust a gut for Rangers. Remember his awesome displays for the club at a time when most players are putting their feet up and dreaming of managing their own team. Yes, Warburton is a gamble, no doubt, but please let's show him how much we care about the club, yes, but also that we are 100% behind him and big Davie

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 20:33:19
The guy is"joking" Mcguen/Le guen.As far as I know Chris, King did most of the negotiating with Warburton.
We have a board of directors to share duties. So what if he wasn't there to welcome him?He welcomed him when they shook on the deal I reckon.

Agree0 Disagree0

Chris

our circumstances were totally different when LeGuen arrived plus no spoilt brat Barry Ferguson to put the changing room against him. After 3 years of fraudulent schemes and the worst ever manager Rangers fans are now open to and desiring change. Why don't you save your concern for your boring season approaching of no treble and out Europe at least once.

I see why your fellow tainted title green brigade also think the same

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 00:51:34
Chris, out of all the trolls from the east you are the most amusing. The 'others' are usually failing on the windup . Yourself, though, I am not sure what your daft posts are trying to achieve. I know your statements are out of desperation but . I just. am left dumber after reading them. Maybe it's me?

Agree4 Disagree0

KT,

You don't know what exactly happened with Le Guen and Barry Ferguson and it's wrong you have a cheap dig at Ferguson. Ferguson was a great Rangers player Le Guen underestimated the job and was poor. He hasn't done much since leaving Rangers so maybe he isn't quite the manager you thought he was

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Jun 2015 15:25:48
Honesty fellows put your sensible hats on . If king was involved in the appointment of the manager, I doubt if you could trust him . Has King spent 72 hours consecutively in the UK since he arranged the take-over of the club .
Before he managed the take over he talked about sitting at the Rangers desk and providing £30 m for transfers. After takeover £15/£20m and now it might be £5m£10m or nothing . People in the know called him a liar before , do you not thing he might just be taking you for a ride again .

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 14:59:04
Do you think Warburton was selected weeks ago and had a say on the players already left.

Good interview and I like his enthusiasm for attractive football and young players.

hope he can get the best out of the young players we have left .

now we have a manager the hype will now turn to who will be signed to me the first signings should be goalkeeper and centre half we should attempt to get macgregor on loan and danny wilson but I would defo go for macgregor every good team has a good goalkeeper and macgregor is a good goalkeeper

Bigwull. Are you talking about our former goalie who walked out on us and refused to tupie over and so denied the club any possible transfer fee that could have gone to the vast number of creditors that were left out of pocket? If so then that guy along with all the others is never welcome back at Ibrox even to do the half time draw!

Agree3 Disagree7

15 Jun 2015 17:12:06
parky7720 when the players tupie over you will notice all the good players left this is cause they new green was a chancer and the rest of the team that was left were younger and thought the would cut it at rangers and no doubt they got a bigger wage for staying with bonuses ect so I am with bigwull MacGregor seems a good shout and I think he would be welcomed back by most fans

Agree5 Disagree4

15 Jun 2015 18:29:48
Parky, are you speaking for all fans or just yourself?

Agree3 Disagree2

16 Jun 2015 16:48:35
Cuillin72. I think you will know that my post is my own opinion, so why even ask that ridiculous question? Although I woukd think that there would be a lot of fans for and against those players coming back. However every single one of them would have commanded some form of tranfer fee. do you believe that Everton wouldn't have paid 250K for Naismith for example? When the company was liquidated lots of creditors lost money including small business owners, so every extra bit of cash would have helped. These players we had that had declared themselves as life long Rangers fans numerous times walked away for nothing thinking only of themselves. Contrast that with the likes of Bocanegra, Goian and Mo Edu. They never proclaimed to be life long fans yet they Tupied over to the club in our time of need. So in my humble opinion McGregor, Naismith etc are not welcome back. Ever.

Warburton/Weir really! no experience between them of real management! these 2 will be put under pressure from when they announce this today, so they better have some news of the players they will be bringing to the club? after all it, s a week until pre-season starts so are their any players out of contract worth pulling on the jersey? board have been very naive the timescale was a matter of urgency, should have been dealt with more professionally, wish them all the luck in the world but in my opinion wrong choice, looks like another season of turmoil! PS if it goes tits up Mr King give me or any other blue nose a call for some real advice.

Believable1 Unbelievable15

15 Jun 2015 11:00:21
Your ignorance is laughable.

Did you on any occasion watch Brentford last season? They played very attractive attacking football under Warburton and Weir and got within touching distance of the Premiership.

Warburton has gotten into football management via a very unorthodox route but he is very talented and is a great appointment for rangers

Agree5 Disagree1

15 Jun 2015 11:08:45
Warburton and Weir were by far the best candidates and in fact I'm surprised they took the job

How does managing a team in the 2nd tier of English football constitute no real managerial experience?

Agree3 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 14:52:57
Hooly I normally agree with your posts but would just ask you if Souness and Walter Smith didn't buy success? In both cases on money Murray borrowed from a, soon to be bailed out to the tune of £1billion by the country, bank?
Even in Walter's second stint he spent £30million on transfers in 4 years and in a way as it transpired showed his appointee Mr McCoist how not to do it if you have the country's best specialist youth development facility. But hey that is in the past- onwards and upwards with a new management team who will hopefully utilse youth and Auchenhowie properly and keep it all affordable with exciting football. So no pressure really

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 19:26:52
You could make that argument mannering. But the point I was making was that every great manager was inexperienced at one time. Look at mourinho who I rank as one of the greatest he went to porto without much experience and the rest is history as they say

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jun 2015 21:03:04
Now that I agree with Hooly- never failed anywhere- probably just about the most successful club manager ever apart from Alec Ferguson - but Mourinho has achieved it with more clubs.
