Just got a text fae my mate saying he as heard. Advocaat and Barry Ferguson could be in line ta take ower, canny c that boys what da you think?

{Ed039's Note - Didnt Clyde just finish second bottom of Scottish footballs leagues under Ferguson? Not my idea of a good combination, sounds more like jobs for the boys if you ask me, I cant see it happening)

19 May 2015 22:06:13
Barry Ferguson will not be rangers manager any time soon, and ed I think he did well not to finish bottom lol.

19 May 2015 22:24:47
andy mac I really hope your mate is at the wynd up don't mind wee dick coming back but don't want ferguson any where near ibrox he is nothing but a trouble maker and he done absolutely zilch with clyde and blackpool he should stick to writing for the daily rebel best place for him it was he who started all the trouble for le guen he is a waste of space

20 May 2015 07:57:18
On what basis is Ferguson trouble? Because the daily RECORD and other untrustworthy papers reported stuff what happened nearly 10 years ago.
I wonder if you thought that after he scored that free kick against Celtic or the amount of other times he carried the team.

You would want wee dick? An absolute dinosaur of football he is 67 hardly at the age to start building a side is he.

I have disagreed with your constantly on here however I have to agree with you here. It always astonished me how so many Rangers fans have a go at Barry Ferguson. Yes he has had his issues however I thought he was a great player for us and his positives far out weighed the negatives. As for Advocaat he is too old and it's not the way ahead for us we need a younger manager with fresh ideas

20 May 2015 09:50:09
I agree. Many a time Barry played for us when he wasn't fit. I thought he was one of the best midfielders Scotland has ever produced. Heart of a lion and just a great footballer

19 May 2015 19:04:44
King has now been passed as fit and proper.
We will now see investment in the club.

19 May 2015 19:34:51
Celtic fans on the phone in are concerned about King not being a fit and proper person to be involved with Rangers. Good to see they are concerned about us perhaps going into administration again. Pity they weren't as vocal about White and Green. Perhaps they know King is fit and proper to run the club and make us a force again.

19 May 2015 20:17:30
Same old story Celtic fans coming on and being experts in everything. Laughable when the start each sentence buoy the words " I know for a fact" . They should just be honest and say how much they hate us and want to see us gone

19 May 2015 21:25:42
JFR I think they were as vocal about the "other" 2 charlatans mate it just you people decided to keep your heads in the sand and do what you do best, "follow follow" blindly! So best get it right sport!

{Ed039's Note - I like how people use phrases like they were "vocal" or have an "i told you so" attitude, when what they mean is they jumped on a story when a newspaper broke it)

19 May 2015 22:16:20
i don't think it was the newspapers that broke the story it was on various blogs long before

19 May 2015 22:36:40
jfr said it before they are running scared at the thought of us coming up and this just proves it

20 May 2015 09:12:58
Lol come on bears if the shoe was on the other foot u lot would be thesame any chance for a dig at or greatest rivals is not to be missed we all know this so why pretend otherwise and dk has beendone for tax crimes and on the board when white took u under so let's not kid on if that was us you would be giving it large aswell and the thought of running scared no don't think so if u never had soo much sh!t to do before u buy a team I might think 3 years they might b bk but be realistic guys ok 5 years it will take for u to challenge for the league and get over the fact we love to hate each other hail hail oh ed039 hindsight is a wonderful thing let's u b vocal and say we told u so lol

21 May 2015 21:20:36
Your right matelot most fans did Bury their heads in the sand , but the point I am making is that I did not hear much criticism towards the SFA for passing these individuals as fit and proper to run Rangers.

19 May 2015 18:35:49
Great news tonight regarding king onwards and upwards from here on in let's get a good result tomorrow lads and finish the journey.

19 May 2015 17:22:52
Dave king passed F&P to become rangers chairman. Was actually passed conditionally over 3 weeks ago with further documentation to follow but mr king decided not to take up the offer as wanted full and complete transparency. finally is this the end of the nightmare?!? Let's beat hibs and Motherwell and take our HARD EARNED place at the top table. They forced us to start again we are just a whisker away from getting our own back I feel the good times are closer than we all think : )

19 May 2015 17:16:43
DAVE KING FIT AND PROPER PERSON

GREAT NEWS

19 May 2015 17:15:48
king been passed to be rangers chairman no announcement just now about the plans but will come in next few days he says good news should give the team a boost in time for facing hibs

19 May 2015 16:51:26
Dave King has passed fit and prpper test.

19 May 2015 16:00:18
getting away from our problems for a moment -what do you bears think of re-vamping the league cup and scottish cup like other european leagues and make all ties home and away, except for finals?? the extra games might encourage squads to blood some younger players.

19 May 2015 07:23:51
I know a lot of people will disagree with this but I would bring Boyd back in for first leg against hibs.

He has had a terrible season but let's be honest here so have most of the forwards in the squad.

I just think he is the best penalty box striker we have and with Lee Wallace always an option down the left side that could be out best chance of getting goals, using the Wallace to Boyd combination.

Too big a game to bring in the likes of Hardie and Gallagher, I'm a big fan of bringing in the young players but at this moment in time we need experienced players who can find the net and Boyd certainly has done that in the past

19 May 2015 10:00:41
I agree Fraser,been saying it for a few weeks.Its got to be worth a try,because Clark is not the answer.He's coming too deep or he's out wide too often,I think he's trying to hard in a Rangers jersey rather than just being in the six yard box where he was for QOS.I know more demands are placed on him here,but he's lost the instincts that we signed him for in the first place.

19 May 2015 10:21:24
We just need to make sure we give Jason Cummings no chances as he is lethal! The boy may be a wee rocket but he can sure as hell score goals.

19 May 2015 10:45:08
I was going to say this mate and in previous posts I have always backed Boyd. Clark can't handle the pressure of playing with Rangers he doesn't have the bottle, he's too small for fosters excellent balls into the box as well but but can both finish and is good in the air. Not too mention his link up play is good. Miller had a lot of faults but his movement and link up play is second to none. Boyd Miller against hibs for me

19 May 2015 12:31:16
I don't think you ever lose an eye for goal. I'd love to see Boyd and Miller click once again. I know they have it in them but is it worth taking the chance? Only wee McCall will know this of course. If we could just convert an early chance I think the backing from the crowd might just push us over the line and might even unnerve the Hibs youngsters. Remember they almost slipped to the bottom of the league a few weeks into the campaign. I think if we can get off to a good start we can rattle them and maybe nick two or three goals before the end. The only problem is we tend to ship them at the other end as well. I remember well the game during the nineties when we hammered them 7-0. Mind you, we had the likes of Gazza and wee McCall himself calling the shots then. It might not end up 7-0 but I'd take any kind of win.

19 May 2015 12:54:51
worth taking a chance? clark can't hit the target. Boyds problem at the start of the season was confidence, the teams confidence and the long ball tactics.

with rangers playing more balls to feet in the box. wallace and foster providing excellent balls into the box this set up is exactly what boyd thrives in and the team are crying out for his abilities. He likes boyd will get shots on target and subsequently goals

19 May 2015 13:21:31
L3mst3r boyd is overweight. why would you want an overweight also very lazy player in our team? He struggles to last the first 45 minutes. clark is struggling to score yes. However if it wasn't for clark setting up wallace we might not be talking about playing against hibs. Personally I believe McCall is starting to make a few errors, like playing law as a left attacking mid, where he has to go down the wing, our winning formula is a 3-5-2 it's attacking yet defensive. Perfect for us with the players we have

19 May 2015 14:32:44
You don't have to be an athlete to hit the target from inside the box. I'm not saying Boyd will give you lots of running but when a chance presents itself inside the box Boyd will get it on target.

352 is perfect for us but do we put Wallace in defence and lose an attacking channel? Either that or do you put in mcculloch or moshni? Both are prone to making mistakes and just now we need 100% concentration. We can't afford to chance losing a goal as the play off games are so crucial.

rangers are aching well all we need to do is take our chances and like I said if Boyd had clarks chances he would have a few goals just when we need it.

19 May 2015 15:49:04
Andbak- Team looks fine as Streete has pace and recently played 90 mins in the U20s but in the 2nd half he played in midfield.
Also Gasporotto is an option as both Cummings and Malonga are pacey and good headers of the ball.
Either way play Vuckic and Miller upfront drop Clark and have additional player in midfield or start with 3 centre backs with Foster and Wallace as wing backs.
