Just a thought! Micah Richards is without a club at the moment, anyone else thinks he would be good backup for cb?



22 Aug 2018 01:03:18
Shorty4114, his wage demands would be huge for a backup player and he hasn't played a competitive game for two years. There are more viable options out there.



{Ed0333's Note - wow I didn’t realize micah Richards was still playing competitive football.

22 Aug 2018 05:48:45
Be better off signing MIKA.



21 Aug 2018 20:57:01
What a player that McBurnie looks can't believe the amount of people who were against us signing him, ripping an inform Leeds apart and bursting my coupon at the same time.



21 Aug 2018 21:06:42
Was thinking that, he’s got off to a flyer so far this season.



21 Aug 2018 21:41:47
dodoo scores for blackpool.



21 Aug 2018 19:39:33
Hopefully Murphy is not as bad as thought. but if it is we should try to get shey ojo on loan from Liverpool until Murphy gets fit. villa sniffing about him the now. would give us good options.



21 Aug 2018 19:17:57
If aberdeen centre half scott mckenna is worth £10million, going by the celtic abacus,
then connor goldson must be worth at least £30million! Goldson is easily 3 times the centre half, that mckenna is and that's not being biased, in the least! He's miles better than mckenna and by far, the best centre half in scotland, with his rangers teammate, big nikola katic, the 2nd best centre half in scotland, with ease!



22 Aug 2018 08:59:41
There is no way Aberdeen would get £10m for him and they would except much less. £10m for a guy who hasn’t really done anything with no pedigree in European football laughable.



22 Aug 2018 10:07:40
Arthur d he will go for five - six million, reason why we should not sell guys like, Tav, Morelos, Katie, goldstone for less than seven.



22 Aug 2018 11:59:10
No he won't jboy21😂👍.



22 Aug 2018 16:50:45
Can't see anybody paying more than 3 he's rotten.



21 Aug 2018 18:59:43
Why don't spend £1.5 million. Get Lafferty in, young Lawrence Shankland from Ayr and Jones from Kilmarnock, after that squad would almost be complete.



21 Aug 2018 19:19:54
Do you mean the reserve squad? 😐.



21 Aug 2018 20:28:24
'Young' Lawrence Shankland is older than a third of our squad and is nowhere near the level required. Jones has pace and nothing else, another Mickey O'Horrible. The lack of ambition here is ridiculous. Even Lafferty wouldn't be a guaranteed starter. The name of the game is to improve us, not drag us backwards.



21 Aug 2018 22:12:07
I've seen Jones on TV a few times including last weekend against us and he seems to have a fair bit of skill as well as pace. He was their danger man against us.



21 Aug 2018 17:17:03
Anyone else here want to see Middleton left wing and Kent in his best position right wing. Dunno why bur it excites me.



21 Aug 2018 17:48:42
Are you sitting on a lumpy object bluepete.



21 Aug 2018 17:53:36
I would like to see that too, only thing is that Candeias links up well with tav and covers him when he gets forward really well.



21 Aug 2018 18:34:00
I'd drop Kent for Candeias. His work rate, direct play and effort is admiral but he's not contributed to one single goal in all the minutes he's played. Candeias gives just as much with his industrious play but he also has an excellent final delivery at times something that Kent doesn't.



21 Aug 2018 19:27:48
and to add to JM comments, his recovery in defense is pretty impressive too.



21 Aug 2018 19:29:11
Gotta agree with JM candias is one of our best forward players especially his crossing ability.



21 Aug 2018 22:52:48
Id like to see candias on the left and tavernier on the right of a front 3. With barasic left back and flanighan right back. Just to see if tav does well further up. Happy for the younger boys to get a game but the 1st eleven has to be the best eleven regardless of age.



21 Aug 2018 14:16:03
di wallace not play centre-back at one point? ---.



21 Aug 2018 14:56:37
Wallace won’t ever play for us again! 🇬🇧.



21 Aug 2018 15:15:29
Flanagan and Barisic can cover CB.



21 Aug 2018 15:37:06
Out of interest, why do people dislike Lee Wallace?



21 Aug 2018 16:06:58
How do you know Wallace won’t play for us again?



21 Aug 2018 16:13:48
I do not dislike Lee Wallace and actually respect his time at our great club but everything comes to an end with him not being part of the new Managers plan.



21 Aug 2018 16:42:06
How do you know he’s not part of the managers plans? Your just purely speculating, you’ve no idea just like the rest of us as to whether or not he is or isn’t part of it.!



21 Aug 2018 17:09:17
Are you on talking terms with Gerrard or is Wallace not in Gerrard plans your opinion.



21 Aug 2018 17:45:43
6counties, I respect your opinion but this is a site for opinions and rumours and always has been. Maybe you are in the no, and big Lee will remove the big Croatian lad to gain his place back? 🇬🇧.



21 Aug 2018 17:47:40
I hope he gets new deal ( wallace)



21 Aug 2018 18:17:53
Sorry Wallace won't replace Katic but untitled your opinion but respect wallace stuck by rangers others didn’t. think he deserves to stay be good cover.



21 Aug 2018 18:19:39
Yatley you stated as a fact that Wallace won't play for us again you didn't say I don't think he will play for us again you even added Ever how do you know or do you just not think he will play for us again .



21 Aug 2018 18:25:12
Meant Barasic, and Lee Wallace deserves better than sitting on a bench and I don’t believe he is the sort of guy who wants to be a back up! 🇬🇧.



21 Aug 2018 19:19:03
I do not dislike Wallace, however he has not kicked a ball in nearly a year, past his best and would struggle to deliver in our present style.
As for CH his big weakness I see heading the ball.
I do wish him every success away from Rangers as he stood by us.



21 Aug 2018 19:31:47
I wouldn't mind seeing Wallace be part of Gerard's plans.



21 Aug 2018 20:07:13
Gerrard already said in an interview "we want a fit Lee Wallace" not saying this means he definitely won't go but he obviously rates him.



21 Aug 2018 20:43:36
PerthTrueBlue, he said he wanted all of his players to be available, including Wallace, which is a bit different from 'obviously rates him'! He also expressed a reluctance to pick him while he is in dispute with the club and described it as 'a serious situation' which doesn't sound at all like he definitely won't go. Wallace will be away either this window or the next when he can sign a pre-contract with someone else, probably his preferred option.



21 Aug 2018 22:22:46
In my opinion Wallace, who hasn't played for over a year and is in dispute with club, cwill be allowed to run down his contract and then go. As much as it pains me it is a payoff for his commitment over the years, ( and his wife's for not wanting to move south )
Let the guy be and move on.



21 Aug 2018 22:29:50
Lee Wallace has been a great servant to rangers but his time is up, we r moving in a different direction. There are players well ahead of him for starting places now and I don't want to see him sitting around doing nothing, he deserves to be playing week in week out but unfortunately that usnt going to be for us.



21 Aug 2018 13:52:12
On another note ex bear David have is suffering with motor neurons disease a charity page from the rangers foundation has been set up on just giving let's give him our support lads.



21 Aug 2018 15:36:57
It was set up 5/ 6 weeks ago, do you know Davie mate he’s a Bonnybridge-Banknock Boy.



21 Aug 2018 17:11:02
Sorry if I'm Dumb but Davie who? Wish him all the best.



21 Aug 2018 17:34:50
Can you post a link or is that not allowed here?

Don't have much spare cash myself but will happily throw a few quid into the pot.



21 Aug 2018 17:46:10
David hagen is our ex players name,
Bluepete.



21 Aug 2018 13:06:31
Bockaj from Osijek looks a decent winger we could mibee look at signing.



21 Aug 2018 14:42:18
Or go for the ex- AC Milan forward who played against us? Was it Henty?



21 Aug 2018 11:50:20
See the sheep value McKenna at 10 mil?! What a laugh that is . If he's worth 10 what's magic and goldson worth?



21 Aug 2018 12:38:11
Agree. Goldson is a far better player than the hammer thrower.



21 Aug 2018 12:50:13
Yea but it’s 10 million dembelle dollars and when you take into account there are 100 rupees in a pound god knows how many dumbelli dollars there are in a rupee.



21 Aug 2018 17:29:54
hope they get him
will weaken both sheep and mhanks.



21 Aug 2018 17:36:09
I'd say he's worth 10m easily.

If we're talking Venezuelan Bolivars of course.



21 Aug 2018 18:46:44
Aye but it's the same as hibs saying they want 5 or 6 mil for mcginn and then let him go for 3, the sheep are kidding themselves, if celtic offer 2 or 3 mil they will accept it, so it's pointless for them to say they want 10 when they will accept a fraction of that, probably.



21 Aug 2018 11:41:51
Don’t agree at at all with folk wanting Jordan jones, he can run but that's about it! His final ball is awful. we have a better player in Middleton in the squad imo.



21 Aug 2018 11:55:34
MO'H anyone? He could run.



21 Aug 2018 13:45:57
Bang on BAR72, I'd say he's a little more tidier than O'Halloran but ultimately the same player.



21 Aug 2018 14:58:04
Do you not think that with the proper coaching that Jones could be developed into a right good player? Good pace and good first touch, a step up in calibre of player with us could bring out a wee gem!



21 Aug 2018 23:05:20
Would rather buy a really good player and with good coaching etc turn them into a great, than an average player to make into a good.



21 Aug 2018 11:39:35
Just watched the bill shankley documentary. There are many similarities between his ethics and methods that Stevie G is now implementing.



21 Aug 2018 08:15:12
Unfortunately working away on Thursday and wondering if game on TV?



21 Aug 2018 09:51:20
Rangers TV I think out of UK not seen any word of premier sports or BT picking it up.



21 Aug 2018 14:16:52
Hesgoal. com will have a stream.



21 Aug 2018 15:42:07
Just try YouTube.



21 Aug 2018 06:55:31
This team Ufa isn't up to much and on paper we should win. I feel we should go for jugular as soon as we smell blood on Thursday night. That way if we get a 3-0 or 4-0 lead we can rest a few players for the old firm game.



21 Aug 2018 10:17:42
Funny that orangefuture, I said the same yesterday and was ridiculed! Surely if we take say a 4-0 lead to Russia we could rest three or four key players in preparation of the game at the piggery and still go there and get a result? That's what having a first team squad is all about. Rant over!



21 Aug 2018 11:41:50
Why the arrogance after a few decent results? We have no idea how good this team will be, wait and see what happens on Thu.



21 Aug 2018 11:52:36
No arrogance at all Cullin72 it’s called utilising the squad if we take a healthy lead over there. There is a strong chance that can happen Thursday.



21 Aug 2018 12:03:03
I hope so, but we don't know enough about this team to take them lightly. There is a vast improvement but we shouldn't start getting carried away.



21 Aug 2018 12:10:46
Yes, of course if we only take a 1-0 lead to Russia then that sets up a different 2nd leg and we'd need our strongest team. Wait and see as you say Cullin72 but in the event of us winning the first leg well then surely what orangefuture and me suggest makes sense? Also, I don't agree with posters who suggested they'd rather progress to the group stages and lose to Celtic. Why one or the other? How about both!



21 Aug 2018 12:35:44
We win a few games and uve now got us beating a Russian team 4-0 and resting players. Maybe we should rest some players against Celtic for the tough home fixture the following week?



21 Aug 2018 13:01:29
there is no way a team that finished 6th in Russia are a bad team. We will have to be at our best over two legs to get through this tie,



21 Aug 2018 16:09:07
Dutch

We don’t play the following week that’s international week.



21 Aug 2018 18:55:20
OMG these guys are not saying we WILL win 3 or 4 nil, they are saying IF we get a great result of 3 or 4 nil then we can rest players, read it properly and don't jump on it making out they are arrogant, they didn't say we SHOULD or WILL win by that margin they are making a simple statement, if we are lucky enough to win by such a margin then it would make perfect sense to rest players



21 Aug 2018 06:25:30
Offer 500k for Jones, when they say new geez a million then we negotiate that if we pay a million they must rip up that pathetic 3g park and lay turf.



21 Aug 2018 13:49:29
Thank Christ you're not in charge of our finances, let's offer 80% more than what he's worth just so you can finance a better pitch on our behalf.



21 Aug 2018 17:55:20
Well Ashley used to do it when he used to have his monkeys in our board room. note I said used to have ( thank you chairman)



Review Of The Day 21st August 2018

21 Aug 2018 07:29:10
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 21st August 2018



20 Aug 2018 23:49:36
Think a move for Jordan Jones should maybe be resurrected following Murphy’s injury. Would be a decent member of the squad.



21 Aug 2018 05:51:59
Wouldn’t be my first or last choice. Can be good on his day but also very predicable at times.



21 Aug 2018 07:55:55
I think Jones is very good when he has space to play or run into. Most teams sit in against us and deny us space. He’s decent but no good enough for Rangers IMO. I’d rather we developed Middleton more.



21 Aug 2018 08:34:23
Agree LDM17 give Middleton a chance.



21 Aug 2018 08:54:34
Jones is nowhere near good enough, if we wanted a pacy player who will offer nothing we could have kept O'Hallaron.



21 Aug 2018 10:48:40
Jones would be a good addition to the squad in my opinion. can't really think of any other viable options. if we could get him for 5-600k then would be well worth it. Middleton will get chances however he needs to be managed well. If another winger was to pick up a knock we would be in trouble.



21 Aug 2018 12:58:03
Middleton could step up but we still need another winger to cover him.



21 Aug 2018 13:52:12
I'm more concerned if Goldson or Katic pick up a knock then who is stepping in because it will leave a massive weak spot.
