Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


16 Apr 2018 20:56:01
Any thoughts on Robbie Neilson as manager. Did a right good job at Hearts he had them flying with pace and aggression.



16 Apr 2018 21:22:23
Hi everyone this is my first post what does everyone think of Derek Adam as new manager. he did well with Ross county and has taken Plymouth from lower end of the league 2 and they are now going for promotion to the championship. he knows the Scottish game and by all accounts a rangers fan. I'm worried we get another foreign manager who doesn't understand the challenges of Scottish football



16 Apr 2018 21:40:36
I say Kenny Miller till end of the season



16 Apr 2018 22:30:37
No We need a top manager even if it means less money of players a top manager is the priority



17 Apr 2018 00:01:24
Derek Adams, get a grip.



17 Apr 2018 10:18:03
So who do you recommend for the job



17 Apr 2018 10:29:55
Miller? Seriously?



Manchester United v West Brom 15 April 2018 Review

16 Apr 2018 20:43:50
{Ed's Note - Danny Lancs has posted a new article entitled, Manchester United v West Brom 15 April 2018 Review



16 Apr 2018 20:31:51
Martin-can’t get game for Norwich
Goss- can’t get game for QPR
Cummings-can’t get game for forest
Haliday-couldn’t get game in aberzazian

The list could go on. this type of squad will not topple them. There bench yesterday was very strong and had quality options to adapt to any tactical decision.
We have some good players and



16 Apr 2018 22:17:58
Every single player on their bench would walk into our first team and every single player in our starting 11 wouldn’t have made their bench



17 Apr 2018 00:42:45
Ok let's step back guys. We need a top class manager and investment. That is the only way. Jock Stein was seismic so was Walter. No more stop gaps - Rodgers is EPL top 10 we have to agree - this is a crucial juncture in 1970 Everton were the biggest club in Liverpool 20 years later Liverpool were out of sight. We can't become a scottish Everton. We need investment and a Messiah.



16 Apr 2018 18:45:40
Nice guys win nothing in football, watched murtys interview again he should have been in that dressing room tearing new ass holes! We get pushed aside bullied most weeks but nothing changes! To nice from staff to players got knows what our young players are being told either.



16 Apr 2018 18:52:47
Journalist: 'Have the players let you down today? '

Murty: 'I'm not going to answer that one'.

Sums it up. He should have slaughtered them, there's a time and a place to protect your players, yesterday was not that day.



16 Apr 2018 19:02:08
I thought Jimmy nicholl was brought in to do the dirty work and fire players up as JJ looks lost. Those pair can go aswell.
You have to be cut throat in football and unfortunately celtic are doing that to us everytime they play us, we would do the same to be honest.

But what you can expect is like Burnley have proved if you have heart and passion you can get results. Love watching them play.

When you play for Rangers or celtic every game is a cup final. I just don't belive our players are up for it. I think after we out played them at Ibrox and lost something snapped.



16 Apr 2018 19:12:23
It’s clear the players have no respect for the Manager or the fans with their attitude yesterday. Halliday was lucky he lasted as long as he did and it’s typical he showed more passion off the park than on it. Candeias too disgraceful way to act



16 Apr 2018 21:34:19
Arthur do you think any of those two players (if we can call them that) would play ever again if souness was manager?



16 Apr 2018 21:53:17
You never 'slaughter' players to the press! Murty answer should have been that was a team did not turn up the performance was no where near good enough and the players know that themselves! Interview done and dusted door shut and sleeves up, then they get slaughtered, not publicly! That's the trouble we have Murty as said before is not experienced enough to deal with the intensity of the job (shame as I think the guy will make a good manager) but we need someone who players will run through walls for



16 Apr 2018 22:19:34
Bgate w

Absolutely not and if they had done that to Jock Wallace they would have been lucky to breath again



16 Apr 2018 18:40:51
Still hurting from yesterday but thought I'd put this out there. We all know we need new manager but with anyone watching that shambles yesterday, the McInnes fiasco, the money needed to challenge celtic and king not exactly covering himself in glory, can we realistically expect a manager of the calibre of Brenda? I seriously doubt we could and unless Brenda leaves then yesterday will be a regular occurrence.



16 Apr 2018 19:19:09
SirStruth this is what I don't get. How can lennon, levein, Clarke do in my opinion very well with tiny budget but we can't do jot with ours. Well are in 2nd cup final this season and hibs prob have one of the best midfields. Can you imagine if these clubs had our budget?



16 Apr 2018 19:38:19
All this if Brenda stays on we won’t get near them. what absolute rubbish. they haven’t been tested at all since he's been there except in Europe. Steve Clark comes in to Kilmarnock and in half a season he has a better points tally that’s what happens when another decent manger come to the SPL

I’m sure if the board put they hand in their pockets for a decent manger we will be closer to them make no doubt about it



16 Apr 2018 19:51:29
It's no excuse, but part of the problem is the "old firm" factor. Everyone raises their game against us. Celtic cope better because they have the budget to buy better players. They are also well managed to be fair. I would argue that although our squad cost two or three time our competitors for 2nd spot, it is nowhere near two or three times better. Throw in the managerial merry go round and it's easy to see we will regularly drop points to Killie Hibs Hearts and if we don't shape up, Aberdeen



17 Apr 2018 06:35:24
We shouldn't be getting beat, at home by Dundee, st Johnstone, Hamilton. End of



17 Apr 2018 10:34:27
Murty should have replied . "You got any more stupid questions that you know I am not going to answer? "



16 Apr 2018 18:01:25
How are the players not fired up when you have brown, Griffiths laughing at you. Really don't understand how the players seemed to have no fire in the belly. It's an old firm game for crying out loud. Get the attitudes sorted and play with some passion for rest of season.



16 Apr 2018 18:11:58
JJK you are spot on. After ibrox game we had Broon walking about with sunglasses on Griffiths tying scarves on to goalposts add to that Suttons comments in paper what more do these excuse for rangers players need to fire them up? Its a shambles.



16 Apr 2018 18:18:55
Exactly Jaws. How are these players not putting themselves about. You might not be better but get in about them. No heart and too scared. We are getting bullied everytime we play them. Players should have took turns to stick it to brown. Only one that did that was the wee bull up front. I fully believe our players to be mentally weak.



16 Apr 2018 18:24:31
Wish Andy the badge kisser had shown as much fight and aggression while he was actually on the park! Total embarrassment when 25 thousand mankies sing your name!



16 Apr 2018 18:37:27
I feel we have no leader on the park. Someone to dictate to players around when to press, up the tempo and start getting stuck in. A hard tackle can be as good as a goal when you need to fire up players around you.
This is basic stuff that every professional should know.



16 Apr 2018 18:44:26
Whatever the transfer budget is this summer, it's essential we put 2m aside for a good manager.

Otherwise we'll be ripping up the team for seasons to come. They ultimately pay for themselves



16 Apr 2018 19:08:50
I totally agree with you Mols73!We must now pay a decent wage to get a really good manager, as this is the most important position, at any football club! Pay top dollar for a class manager and we wouldn't need to continue ripping up our practical full squad and starting again! I don't like saying this but its a near home example to use! Over the other end of the city, they proved when they appointed rodgers, you don't need to cull a squad! Having a good manager can make all the difference even with the same players! This is coming from myself who wanted graeme murty to be given a chance as our manager, beyond this season! I like murty as a coach and don't mind admitting i was wrong, as he's too nice and inexperienced, to be our longterm manager! Yesterday once and for all, proved that to me! I'd hope murty goes back to being our under 20's coach, and rearing our stars for the first team, hopefully!



16 Apr 2018 19:20:41
I am more astonished that people on here were actually wanting Halliday to start. A guy who was shown up for being awful last season and was shipped out to the far flung reaches of Eastern Europe. Do certain people on here not see the obvious



16 Apr 2018 19:27:26
Coop we want a manager who will thrive on chasing down celtic and then being the top club in Scotland again and winning trophies. Hungry, passionate and ready for war. problem is who is this person? Hopefully the board know.



16 Apr 2018 20:11:28
Supercooper

What were you views on Halliday’s performance yesterday? Seeing as you were the one who championed the cause for him to start



16 Apr 2018 19:41:17
I'm not even sure it is a lack of heart. It is well ingrained apathy.
We have too many average players that know they will never get the wage or play in front of the size of crowd that they do just now. They are plastic, pretend big time footballers.



16 Apr 2018 20:50:14
Supercooper.

Is Frank DeBoer a good enough manager?

Thoughts on that?



16 Apr 2018 21:14:51
ArthurD, i thought halliday was very poor but our full team was very poor! Don't get me wrong i'm not saying tav and docherty played well but they put effort in and you could see they were hurting!



16 Apr 2018 21:37:37
They were both shocking. Brown bossed the middle and if I'm wrong tav nowhere for 2nd goal.



16 Apr 2018 22:27:20
Supercooper

I can’t give any of the players pass marks at all maybe some players scraped a 3 but only just. To me trying is a minimum requirement and not worthy of any form of praise. The whole club is a shambles and I honestly can’t see much improving. I have no trust in the board to appoint the right man and yet again we will be left with the rubbish that Pedro signed. I would be surprised if any of the January loan signings were retained meaning another summer where we will be looking for 8 or 9 players.



16 Apr 2018 22:35:35
JJKgers, read my post carefully pal! I said tav and doc showed more EFFORT than the rest, i didn't say they played well! They showed they care and were hurting, just like all us bears! For instance its hard for docherty in midfield when there was hardly any effort from his midfield teammates and dorrans is well short with fitness! Regarding tav, he was forced on the back foot all game and couldn't get forward, as our midfield in general stood off brown and co which made it easier for them! Does that answer what my post meant JJKgers?



17 Apr 2018 06:51:13
Halliday should have started but only to allow Dorrans to play in his best position which is up the park as an attacking midfielder that didn't happen murty got several things wrong on Sunday INCLUDING taking Halliday off when he did, I would have put murty on his arse if he humiliated me like that but maybe that's showing passion and we all now know that's not allowed.



17 Apr 2018 08:20:33
I agree with you jyf Dormans further up or not at all he is never a defensive mid and was wasted



16 Apr 2018 17:48:34
the board are in chaos, we can't attract a REAL decent manager because what's available are all scared to admit they would lose their reputation by cominG here, the best of players we can afford are all scared to risk coming herewith the current turmoil, and if you look on any Rangers web pages, now the fans are starting to talk gibberish about who to sign, who to approach. God almighty, we ARE in a feckin mess, that's for sure.



16 Apr 2018 17:25:02
Might not get a lot of people agreeing with me here but on this seasons form big Wes has been worse than average, first goal yesterday wasn't even near being in the corner yet he gets nowhere near it. it's always the same he concedes more than he saves.



16 Apr 2018 17:55:44
Tommy wes has not convinced me from day one, sure he can make the odd good save but he has major flaws the main one for me is he's a poor communicator who can't command his box



16 Apr 2018 18:00:06
pish we’d be nowhere near 2nd if it wasn’t for some of his performances



16 Apr 2018 18:08:03
Better keepers our there. Shot stopper that's about it. Would gladly sell him. Yes has his moments but never been that impressed.



16 Apr 2018 18:44:39
totally agree tommy we have always been blessed with world class keepers wes never rangers class couldn't catch a cold



16 Apr 2018 18:50:25
We need to get rid of Fod in the summer he, s worse than average, his distribution/ communication is absolutely woeful, a lot of his performances especially against Celtic have been terrible. If we, d had a decent Manager he would have rid of him already, we need to buy a Top class keeper end of story!



16 Apr 2018 19:11:55
First and foremost we need to pay top dollar, for a top class manager,
end of story!



16 Apr 2018 19:27:58
Would happily let him try and pursue his dream of playing for England by leaving us. Bang average keeper who has no chance of playing for England



17 Apr 2018 08:22:56
Fod n tav have been head and shoulders above the rest this season in fact fod has been great the last 2 years there's a lot of positions Inc the management one that are more important than a new keeper



16 Apr 2018 17:26:15
Well now that the dust has settled and the hangover has wore off ( unfortunately ) from yesterday’s embarrassment our great club finds itself at a crossroads in the direction it must choose.

I’ve been a fan of Murty, the way he’s stepped in to steady the ship on a couple of occasions, even believing he was tactically aware and his handling of press conferences. But in recent weeks evidence since the defeat to Celtic then his times up. Baffling team selections and even line ups has left me fearing the worse for the split.

King hasn’t helped with his usual rhetoric about challenging next season when although the points gap has reduced we are still miles behind Celtic both on and off the park. Should we now build for a challenge in 2/ 3 seasons time or go all in again with the hope we get lucky and Celtic get complacent? Personally I’m on record saying plenty of times we could have built something special when we were demoted to the 3rd division but due to financial mismanagement amongst other issues we went down the overpaid numpty route and had the displeasure of paying good money to watch Kevin Kyle, Ian Black etc.

As a Rangers fan I can accept, hard though it is, getting beat. Especially from Celtic. But what I can’t accept is lack of passion, effort and fight from someone wearing the famous blue jersey.

Can we as fans accept another couple of years of hurt fighting the likes of The Sheep, Hibs and Hearts for 2nd before mounting a serious challenge to Celtic or do we continue to waste money on another batch of imposters in June with false hope?
Only one thing is certain. We as fans deserve better for the loyalty we have shown over the last 6 years and never to be treated to a performance like Sunday from our team again.
Rangers Then, Rangers Now, Rangers Forever.



16 Apr 2018 17:40:58
agree with every word jack

i’ve just snapped my cruciate and my physio is a big jungle

i had to sit through all his gloating this morning but thing that hurt the most was he said what’s happening to rangers just now wldnt happen to sellic as their fans wldnt put up with all the crap that’s gone on with whyte and greene etc etc 1 charlatan after another ripping the club off - sellic fans wld stand up for their club and make change happen unlike us

i thought the cruciate was sore but having him
have a go at my club, my team is 1 thing but putting boot into my fellow fans is another. I fought our corner best I could but hangover today was worse than i thought



16 Apr 2018 17:45:25
Well said nothing to add



16 Apr 2018 18:59:15
UJ, a sensible post and some thought provoking comments.
It just seems like deja vu every year at this time.
Share issue, season ticket funds, select the right manager, back him with funds.
They one guy who spouts all this expects the fans and anyone else to actually put up the cash.
Great opportunity missed when the team was in bottom tier and could have blooded young players but NO the manager had to overspend on quick fixes and any funds just kept disappearing.
Even before that when the Yank stepped up with cash and a plan. NO, must not have someone who does not understand the roots of the club. (so what if he is a successful businessman, he is not a rangers man)
One debacle after another and how much more can the decent loyal supporter take?
Your point is spot on, 'till now, the supporters have expected instant success which has not (and probably never was going to) happen. Can the supporters live with some pain like those other clubs (lets not forget that club across the city was close to it as well)?
I think if supporters saw a viable plan put on the table then most would go with it



16 Apr 2018 19:14:27
You covered it all union jack! Very good and oh so true post mate!



16 Apr 2018 20:01:44
Ldm17 your having a laugh he's shocking one of worst keepers I've saw at rangers!
And all these so called fans playing for us now weee embarrassing yesterday! tav was only player who looked ok. The rest were dug meat.



17 Apr 2018 02:23:09
Agree with questioning Wes ability but sadly only one in five or six who need to get shipped.



16 Apr 2018 16:48:24
Can’t say I have a favourite out of all the managers been shouted about. I would prefer someone that knows the club problem is it comes back to Walter evertime I think about it. 2 year deal with millar and Ferguson to get old standards and traditions backs, I know he’s retired but we really have no one linked with us that could do half the job he could



16 Apr 2018 18:02:12
Change the record. Walter is a step back!



16 Apr 2018 18:47:43
Has to be a British manager



16 Apr 2018 19:16:00
I agree with you Mols73,but which british manager would you have, that would come to be our manager mate?



16 Apr 2018 23:12:05
Warnock if he can be persuaded would be my no 1 if not then Steve Clarke. I feel de boer woUldale be too big a risk at this time. We need an organiser who can make us hard to beat warnoaks teams are known for being horrible to play against



17 Apr 2018 10:36:51
Walter back Ally and we saw how that went. Walter did a great job while at the club but his time is over



16 Apr 2018 16:47:48
I wass hoping yesterday was a watershed moment and we had hit finally hit ock bottom but the deafening silence from Ibrox today means it probably wasnt. Murty has to be replaced quickly as he is way out his depth. The players are a total disgrace. Every single one. Lack of fight, desire and effort is the worst thing you label a professional footballer with and we had a team full of it yesterday. The board better have a top quality experinced manager lined up in next few weeks or i forsee very troubled times ahead.



16 Apr 2018 17:18:39
Our board are incapable of getting an important decision correct mate they are a shambles and ruining our club



16 Apr 2018 19:01:00
2 x disagrees?
must be a couple of board members in the group.



16 Apr 2018 15:54:56
Apart from being seriously pi$$ed off at that shambolic affair yesterday, I'm wondering what king will do next?! If the remit of the new manager is to seriously challenge Celtic, as King has stated, that would require funding anywhere from £20 to £30 million. If that were available you would expect a "big hitter" to be interested. If its not, and I suspect it won't be, who would be interested in what is fast becoming a poisoned chalice? It's all very well getting a Rangers man who would "walk over broken glass" to get the job buy unless King etc can find some large numbers for funding, I worry we will be going down a well traveled Road, again.



16 Apr 2018 17:16:36
With good player recruitment in the summer and a manager who can improve players i think we will still need spent at least 10 million to stenghten the team.
Can the board provide this sort of money that is the big question surley we should be able give a new manager this kind of budget to work with.

Regarding the player recruitment david king feel mark allen has done a good job prob cause he has got us these loan signings but how many are now in the team or are really good enough to play at the club.

King has to provide us with the funds and a good manager this summer if not then he may aswell accept we will be second best for the forseable and stop demanding we challenge celtic on a fraction of there budget.



16 Apr 2018 18:24:41
The board should take responsibility, they hired a 3rate manager from Saudi Arabia to manage our great club, who goes onto waste £10million on a load of junk, then they get rid of him and replace hi. With youth coach who is to bloody soft and tactically unaware, where next?



16 Apr 2018 14:51:36
First time poster, been wanting to add my tuppence about Morelos for a while now. All I see is an old fashioned poacher. All I hear is he is young and give him time. We havnt got time, if we were ten points in front we could look at development.
Miller should have played and what's happened to Cummings? The ball sticks to his feet when he makes a run and he can score into narrow space.
Still quite emotional about yesterday but I will always support Glasgow Rangers no matter what state we are in.
No man is bigger than the club.



16 Apr 2018 15:10:13
In a team playing well, with 2 strikers, Cummings would do well. Morelos works his socks off, can't argue he's stuggling with scoring just now. When we play well, he plays well. There's plenty of other boys in the team that are p*sh. Martin, Halliday. Dorrans doesn't look fit. Docherty and mccrorie are young lads, they're form will go up and down



16 Apr 2018 16:37:40
If you look across the season, morelos was scoring more when playing with miller.



16 Apr 2018 17:51:34
Morelos is our best striker by far he is struggling with confidence as is the whole team this season we are top scorers in the league but only fifth in goals conceded not hard to work out where our problems are as for Cummings he isn't good enough and not worth £1mill send him back to Forest



16 Apr 2018 18:57:06
Morelos is a good player but he, s not a natural finisher, we really need to play Cummings up front with him, also need to buy Cummings in the summer cause when Miller, s gone he, s only real goal scorer we, ve got left.



16 Apr 2018 14:29:25
We were very bad but for those saying, worst performance ever, you ain't been watching the last 5 years. How Morelos did not score at least 2 is beyond me And not taking anything away from Gordon made some great saves and that's his job. 3 weeks ago we gave them a great game and we have the same players. I wanted ( I think a lot of us did) Murty to be a huge success but sadly this job is no place to learn.
I'm unsure as to who should be our manager Alex Neil would be great but would he leave Preston? Anyway I'll be right behind our team for the rest of the season.



16 Apr 2018 14:32:57
100% agree.



16 Apr 2018 14:58:13
alex neil

are you serious?



16 Apr 2018 15:09:05
Bluepete, Maybe not the worst performance but probably the must hurtful! No fight or commitment and you could tell after 5 minutes we were in for a hiding! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



16 Apr 2018 15:35:12
Mcoist was an old fashioned poacher and his first two seasons in blue he was rubbish. I like Morelos and think he deserves time.



16 Apr 2018 17:00:02
Alex Neil are you serious!



16 Apr 2018 14:08:12
This time last week we were all debating if Murty or a new man should get the job?
Yesterday at least proved to all Murty supporters that he is out his depth and the whole experience for him may stay with him the rest of his career? The whole performance was disgraceful and hurtful to all our fans and I don't know where we go from here? We are a massive club but any descent Manager or player would be thinking twice before joining us? We will all stand by the club I am sure but I say again that was shocking and to be honest I reckon Murty should be relieved of his duties! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.



16 Apr 2018 16:07:00
Why is it always the managers fault. Warburton. It was all his fault. Pedro. It was always his fault. Murty. Now its his fault. So if the next manager can't beat Celtic its his fault again? Before anyone chips in they don't care as long as the team show gight, then that is rubbish. After a season of fight and no further progress another manager will be requested. It will take years and years to get close to Celtic. And i mean years u less someone wants to chuck in £20 odd mill. If Celtic qualify for CL again this season another £25mill is going to Parkhead do Celtic can strengthen again if they want to. Rangers fans just don't want to look in the mirror. This is the new order.



16 Apr 2018 16:50:15
The reason it's their fault is because it's the coach's job to motivate, organise and setup the team to get results. I feel some sympathy for Murty but he's a lame duck now who needs to be removed.
Investment definitely is required. Even with a dozen players at least who are not good enough our wage bill is still only about a third of Celtic's. However there is a glass ceiling to Scottish football which means that while Celtic are considerably better off financially, they still can't convince top players to play here. Dembele was an unproven youngster down south when they brought him in, and other than a couple of Man City cast offs and some loan players it's still Deila's team.
As for all those directing their abuse at King, he has not been responsible for the managerial appointments so you should be aiming for P Murray, D Park etc. King just flies in and makes a few wild and ill advised statements, and then takes all the flak.



16 Apr 2018 17:22:19
Like I replied to you yday Johnny mac look at the difference in your mob from Delia to rodgers with almost the same team. A good manager cn make a huge difference



16 Apr 2018 18:11:24
But Celtic bought N'tcham for £4.5mill. Ajar has been great. I agree a good manager can make a difference but Rangers don't have the players for a good manager to work with. Yes could make a difference but not enough to catch Celtic. If Celtic lose Tierney, Dembele, Rogic, Armstrong then it depends who they bring in but those 4 are going to bring in £40mill so they will spend. Rangers have had 3 managers in 15months. Who is going to come? Maybe Clarke would make a difference but where is the money to challenge?



16 Apr 2018 18:57:19
You pay the money, you get a good manager.

Why wouldn't they want to come? The only way is up, and a massive opportunity to become a hero.

I'd rather follow Murty than come on on the back of a treble



16 Apr 2018 13:57:31
I'm now of opinion if we lose to hearts at weekend GM should go then whether voluntarily or being removed from post
Jimmy Nicholl and Johansen should follow him.
It's unthinkable that we are in real danger of ending season in 4th place
I'm sick to my stomach just now but hope yesterday was a watershed moment and forces the board to act to get us a fully qualified, experienced manager not another project in cost control and hoping for the best with a unknown gamble.



16 Apr 2018 14:10:00
i feel your pain totally shambolic gutless display and I fear the board are also hopeless and have no idea what direction is for the club

new manager should be approached as a priority to assess the dross that call themselves players and get rid accordingly starting with the joke of a centre forward who can't bring a ball down never mind score a tap in



16 Apr 2018 16:39:06
Never mind 4th, 5th is a possibility too with the way killie are just now



16 Apr 2018 17:20:22
We need at least 9 points for 2nd place I believe and can you really see us beating any of the top 6 on current form



16 Apr 2018 17:30:56
What’s the point sacking them there’s only a few games left be a change in summer Murty back to kids he deserves that



16 Apr 2018 13:57:26
Alot of talk about murtys treatment of halliday yestarday but what about hallidays reaction showed total lack of respect for the manager if that's who he was shouting too imagine shouting at souness or smith like that he wouldn't play again for rangers and a good manager would put fear into players going up the tunnel after that performance think we need a no nonsense manager to sort this mess of a team out and put the pride back into the shirt on these guys backs



16 Apr 2018 14:10:46
he was arguing with a fan mate



16 Apr 2018 14:25:17
If only Halliday had shown that emotion ON the park instead of off it.



16 Apr 2018 14:42:48
Hopefully be rid of him soon along with others who clearly aren't interested. Stealing a wage from us and don't respect the fans.



16 Apr 2018 14:50:18
A fan in the dugout come on tiladie



16 Apr 2018 15:02:18
gordo watch it back it kicked off with a fan then bench tried to calm him down

why sub him mins from ht anyway - made no sense was made scapegoat unfairly

russell martin should have been hooked, 2nd goaldefending a disgrace



16 Apr 2018 18:40:11
It was a fan in front of dug out



16 Apr 2018 13:24:00
After that mess yesterday with no pride no desire no passion and no spine next training session they should all be took tobthe sand dunes and told to run for the whole shift and be told this is what will happen everytime you put that type of performance in wearing a rangers top and the training kit should be a plain kit no badge and tell them you earn that badge and if you don't like it get tonthe office and rip up your contract and go sign for a club that has no ambition like you



16 Apr 2018 13:17:29
Absolute shameful yesterday, most 1 sided game av seen. You can tell the atmosphere is not right between the group of players. But they really need to get there act together or in danger of finishing 4th as morale is well down. We need new spine to the team almost feel wide players are fine. 2 centre backs. were fine for holding mids imo (mccrorie and jack, docherty is not for me. ) New attacking mid and definitely new striker never seen someone as huffy as morelos. Very unprofessional.



16 Apr 2018 13:19:13
Docherty is a embarrassment worse than a man down



16 Apr 2018 13:35:53
Gordo, have a word with yourself. What a ridiculous, immature comment. The whole were poor yesterday. Docherty is a young player who had a poor game and has been a little off the boil. Worse than a man down? Great supporter you are. Guys like you would be better staying away. Disgraceful.



16 Apr 2018 13:50:17
Good god Gordo,

This is a young guy who has been hot and cold since joining but has potential and like LifelongGer says have a word with yourself he needs experience beside him and Dorrans and Halliday badly let him down.



16 Apr 2018 13:55:03
Actually my mistake on that one lads, we also need a new keeper



16 Apr 2018 14:28:39
Docherty had a go at Morelos because he didn’t close down a player or fill in a space. basically Morelos chucked it. Docherty was having a bad game like every other gers player but he atleast showed he cared! Morelos wanting to have a go at him as the game was being played then in tunnel is unacceptable. He should have done it behind the changing room door. Morelos attitude is shocking.



16 Apr 2018 13:06:03
I know it is clear that a number of players are not good enough, however, I feel like considering the fight we put up just a month ago at Ibrox, in comparison to that disgrace yesterday, tells me Murty can't motivate the players. The team selection was so far off the mark it was painful.

I've already slated the team on another comment last night, but trying to look to the future now, I think if we get a commanding manager in who can work work with what he has and is allowed to bring in a good few signings for himself (Steve Clarke? ) then things should get better. Rangers need to bring a manager in that is going to stop Celtic playing, simple as that. This team is so powderpuff it's nearly beyond belief.

There are some good players in our squad, they just need proper leadership, this is not a dig at Murty - he is a youth coach after all.

Just look at Celtic under Ronny Deila for example, after that semi final game, Celtic fans everywhere wanted Brown, Armstrong, Mcgregor, Forrest all replaced, in fact Scott Brown was getting it the worst, fans claiming he was finished, but with he correct manager, those players have all thrived.

I'm not saying we are the same, i'm just saying the correct manager can change everything. Look what Clarke has done with those Kilmarnock players? They are 7 points from 2nd place - that is nothing short of a miracle.



16 Apr 2018 13:15:20
Agree manager has got to be the most important signing, i still don't know who though, thing is with clarke he has experiance at big clubs aswell would he leave killie is it just a one season wonder who knows



16 Apr 2018 13:21:01
Great post I’ve been saying for a long time Murty isn’t the answer we need a manager who can get the best out of the squad, I would not have started Halliday but why sub him five mins before HT why not wait till HT not make a fool of him
Now as for Clarke he may be a good shout but I can’t see him taking the Rangers job I know his family are all Celtic fans and would he put them through all the hassle they would get from the nutters I don’t know but yes he is manager of the year for me
As for the next five games can you allow Murty to carry on he obviously doesn’t have the whole dressing room with him yesterday showed that we need to finish second or the season will have been a complete disaster



16 Apr 2018 13:22:58
StmonkeyRFC

I think it speaks volumes of where we are right now that we actually question whether or not the Kilmarnock manager would turn us down. You need to laugh or you'd greet.



16 Apr 2018 12:50:19
Everyone going on about get steve Clark in if he was worth getting in the first place he wouldn't be at killy sorry.



16 Apr 2018 15:13:41
By your reasoning arrow the next manager should be a big name, successful manager. Who have you got in mind?



16 Apr 2018 22:00:58
I would like f De doer he was my choice before Pedro I know his record with his last two posts weren't up to scratch but look at Brendan Rodgers he never had a great record with his last two posts either and look what he's done up here I like the idea with frank and his Dutch contacts but we, 'll wait and see



16 Apr 2018 12:50:04
I don't know how this group of players can continually be bullied and mocked from players from the other lot and continually put in performances with no fight total embarassment the lot of them.



16 Apr 2018 09:45:04
The players who disgraced the jersey yet again yesterday have let themselves, the fans and the club down. They are out of excuses. The lack of fight and desire has been there all season. The expectation and weight of the jersey is too much for the vast majority. PC was a disaster and there have been too many very poor signings who are weak and lack fight. We should have taken the money for Morelos a couple of months back and used it to at least start a rebuild.

Another wrong call. Urgent action needed from the board ref a new manager but doubt this will happen. We need a Warnock type no nonsense experienced manager in asap. Bilic for me is a good shout as he is available but would take anyone in this mould who can take the club forward quickly and stop 10 in a row which is everyones biggest fear. Time for King and Park to act quickly and get it right this time. Murty - not his fault but time to go back to the youth squad as he's out his depth



16 Apr 2018 11:56:22
I am speechless. To think even this time yesterday I was still confident theat we would do over that mob. What has happened in a month last time they were lucky. Yesterday we never even got out of our own half for most of the game. We need serious investment. Don't even now believe we will finish 3rd



16 Apr 2018 12:14:00
Thank god we done try and buy deals for signings in Jan. The only one I would sign is Jamie Murphy. I would chase Martin and if Cummings can't get in that team he should go as well. i'm shocked at how bad Martin has turned out he is a total bombscare every game he has played in.



16 Apr 2018 12:25:20
Cummings never given a chance really. Am liking this main boy at well. Seems a solid player and finisher.



16 Apr 2018 12:56:28
Puts a shift in and puts himself about he would walk into our team just now



16 Apr 2018 20:42:46
Wouldn't bother with any loan signings including Murphy they're all gash



16 Apr 2018 08:30:33
Just shows the total lack of respect towards murty when kenny millers wife can give him tactical advice! What does that say about miller himself? He should tell her to keep out of mattters that don't concern her, and if she has so much free time perhaps she can go and look for her lost earrings!



16 Apr 2018 11:44:45
Just seen that. Who's getting these players told? A real manager would be dragging them in for a slaughtering this morning.



16 Apr 2018 12:29:38
If you do the maths with that team 12 of that squad have got to go. Good luck to mark Allen with that we will struggle to get anyone of them taken on loan never mind bought.



16 Apr 2018 08:30:16
We that's me done and dusted with Murty. Terrible thing is, that's him lost the dressing room now too. If the head Rangers fan in the team turns on you and and one of the foreign boys aswell your in trouble. Now don't get me wrong Halliday did not have a good game although not the worst on the park. I would like to know what was said as to me it looked like an attack at the manager due to the players and formation he put out at the start. Halliday is the player that would be equally happy celebrating if he was sitting in the stand watching a gers player scoring the winning goal as being the player that scores it. He is watching the team he supports fall apart and I think we can see who he is blaming.

Everyone of us could have picked that back line and the midfield. It was upfront most of us thought there maybe changes. Why chance a formation to suit celtic in the sense of that is not our normal formation. You have to play a formation that suits your team, that was not it. That was a formation that was trying to hide our frailties and it didn't work. You should be attacking celtics frailties, there defence. put pressure on there cd and you control where the game is played. force them to play quick at the back which they can't do. Let them get ball to the midfield and they will walk over you.

Back to the player/ staff. We have morelos and docherty fighting although I did think it was alves and morelos but turns out it was docherty and if they are now split something has to be done and if murty is the only tactician in our backroom staff god helps us trying to finish second.
Watch celtic lose to hibs so they can try and win the league against us. Watch Celtic play the youth after they win the league. Watch us drop further down the table. The future is not bright my friends its anything but.



16 Apr 2018 11:32:33
Head rangers boy? He's one of the worst players in squad. Did nothing yesterday and should be in stand. His time is well and truly up. If he was shouting at fans who paid good money yesterday he can do one in my book.



16 Apr 2018 12:02:41
Halliday had an ok 20mins coming on against Dundee and gets flung into the semi? And Dorrans has been miles off the pace since coming back from a long lay off. Starting both was not just naive but crazy. I feel sorry for Murty and the way it’s planned out but have nothing but anger towards the players who didn’t lay a glove on one Celtic player as they strolled and played the game like a testimonial against us. Murty should have stuck to previous team put out and tactics against them and given us another chance. I don’t know where we go from here and the next managerial appointment is biggest in club history.



16 Apr 2018 12:55:14
There isn't a player, more a die hard rangers fan in that team than halliday. Totally agree he isn't good enough. Do you know what was said to him by a fan? No. Anyone that had that emotion running through them would react to anything said to them. So I won't judge him on that till I know what he reacted to.



16 Apr 2018 12:59:05
You can stick your wages on hibs winning next week so they can rub our noses in it again



16 Apr 2018 13:08:52
Not buying it fintytint the guy is murder. Shouldn't be starting. If he was such a diehard why not put any tackle in or show emotion on the pitch? DID NOTHING AS USUAL. so he chucks toys out the pram cause someone prob told him a few truths. Then gets emotional when subbed.



16 Apr 2018 13:31:03
Jjkgers, exactly, why didn't we see that anger/ passion when Halliday was on the pitch? One of the first player get rid off I'd say



16 Apr 2018 13:47:37
Again I agree totally Halliday isn't good enough to put on that jersey. But you could clearly see they had no idea how to play the formation they were told to play. They were getting dragged out then having to run back to positions. They looked like they were man marking areas of the park. Our wide men were playing in the middle of the park when they had the ball. The banks he set up were allowing celtic to go wide. I fully blame murty. We all know halliday isn't good enough but he played him. We all know mccorie was unfit, he played him. Where was Nicol? Where was johansson? . That to me looked like reactions of knowing from the start this formation won't work against them. Every single one of the squad should be in today. When asked about Halliday he says 'i will seem him in a week'? a week?! Your the boss you bring him in today.
Show strength or just had in your notice. You think Walter/ Ferguson would let them off?



16 Apr 2018 07:03:42
Worlds still turning people, that was a doing and a half we got yesterday and we can only hope that this was our Ronnie Delia moment. The board must do right by the fans this time and appoint a more experienced Manager, My two options I would like to see are firstly Neil Warnock and if we fail to land him we should go for Steve Clarke.

Hopefully we can still finish 2nd and put this season behind us.



16 Apr 2018 08:32:02
Go away and both never rangers class



16 Apr 2018 09:15:51
Tommy your right. Experienced manager 1st of all then get the deadwood out the club. In my opinion Murty back to coaching, Jimmy and jj move on not sure what they have brought to club.

But finishing the remaining games and getting 2nd should be a must.
The players owe the fans this after their pathetic and gutless showing yesterday.
Blood sweat and tears must be given when you represent Rangers and this has not been shown by the players this season. Far too many times we have let teams take points of us with little fight.

The players embarrassed themselves yesterday and the club and should be ashamed they did that to our great support.
I said a few times yesterday that weeks wages to a charity would be a start. I'd be cancelling days off until these players understand how privileged they are.
The so called rangers fans in the team need to wise up cause when new manager comes doubt that will buy you anything this time round.

We are at a massive cross roads and hopefully Dave King understands we are fed up and are now demanding better.



16 Apr 2018 11:37:22
Jjkgers we are at a crossroads but dodgy Dave will come out with the same old stuff. Probably mention a kit deal, make more promises he doesn't keep. Can't imagine he'll take any responsibility for any of the problems. I just think he's one of our main problems



16 Apr 2018 11:43:24
Think Murty needs to step down today. Halliday, Martin and Candeias shouldn’t play again for the club and Morelos must be sold in the summer. I wouldn’t keep any of the loan signings and you could look to try and get rid of about a dozen players. Another Manager another clearout and a new season where we have to start again.



16 Apr 2018 11:44:27
South side what is Rangers class? And more importantly don’t slap down others opinions and ideas if you have nothing to add.
My opinion means not a jot but I doubt we can turn our nose up at managers who have been doing well over a period of time and Warnock definitely falls into that category.



16 Apr 2018 11:55:50
Blueberry he proberly is part of it but players are on the park. Yesterday was shocking. We were humiliated by celtic. Yes Murty in charge but players these days get away with not performing, all the time. What we the fans would give to play in an old firm match compared to these pretenders.



16 Apr 2018 13:01:10
Warnock gets his teams organised and up for a fight something we've not had in years



16 Apr 2018 13:43:56
Warnock wouldn't take a team up the EPL then just walk away to manage in the SPL. Not in a million years so get real



16 Apr 2018 14:00:26
warnock also stated that he doesn't want to manage a club in the EPL so make of that what you want



16 Apr 2018 17:18:18
MikeGer you are probably correct in what you say although Rabc is correct also as Warnock has stated he doesn’t like the EPL end of so time will tell if Cardiff go up, anyway it’s all good debating on here we got to hope that they are on the case at Ibrox.



Review Of The Day 16th April 2018

16 Apr 2018 06:43:53
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 16th April 2018



16 Apr 2018 04:41:16
Bob Malcolm new manager? Poll.



16 Apr 2018 11:39:00
mixu patalinnen haha spl experience steady the ship



16 Apr 2018 11:41:11
Andy Halliday could be a good manager



16 Apr 2018 02:32:15
Morelos actually had Craig Gordon phobia



16 Apr 2018 00:56:59
Steve Clarke has to been considered now he's played against Celtic with a average killie team and beat them surely he can make rangers a better team and more off a challenge in the league. today is the worst performance that I can remember.
