Any one know how the new signings looked 2nite against burnley. Know was many debuts just 1st impressions on what u seen?

21 Jul 2015 23:02:19
Halliday.holt and tavernier we're superb.Kieran and Wilson apart from gaol solid.wag horn showed good touches,missed a couple of sitters but overall played really well

21 Jul 2015 23:06:21
Travenier and waghorn look promising Halliday was the standout the boy from United looked good as well

22 Jul 2015 01:04:35
All were decent, waghorn should have burst the net twice in the first half and Kiernan played a few heavy passes but aside from that pretty good

21 Jul 2015 21:29:16
We might have lost (still playing, though can't see a goal) to Burnley but there's a lot of positives to be taken from tonight's game. Cohesive, confident and a passing team, the futures bright, the futures blue

21 Jul 2015 20:21:18
Tavarnier really looks the part already.Could be a find.

21 Jul 2015 21:04:29
Anybody know the score!

{Ed039's Note - 1-0 to Burnley, Scott Arfield. Full time result)

21 Jul 2015 19:41:18
Deluded if you think hibs will sell Scott Allan to rangers

21 Jul 2015 21:35:31
Deluded if you think nobody has a price!

21 Jul 2015 21:40:44
ur right bongo hibs have never turned money away in the past

22 Jul 2015 08:35:21
Theyv all got a price.money talks

21 Jul 2015 19:11:33
Can I just say a huge thank you to Ally McCoist for not signing Scott Allan.

Had he been under the gardener's influence he would no doubt have been ruined as a player by now.

Thanks then for once doing something that benefitted Rangers

21 Jul 2015 19:58:17
If he had been signed he would probably have been sold in theJanuary along with our only other good player, ie. Lewis McLeod.

21 Jul 2015 18:53:05
is bell injured again as not even on the bench, or is he getting the heave ho

{Ed039's Note - I hope he is getting the heave, terrible goalkeeper)

21 Jul 2015 21:43:00
hear hear ed goal against motherwell unforgiveable

21 Jul 2015 17:12:39
Looking ahead to Saturdays game at Easter Road how many players who ran off the park at Motherwell can expect a regular start this season?

{Ed039's Note - Nicky Law & Lee Wallace)

21 Jul 2015 17:47:24
Don't think Law will get a game! He will be a sub! Holt, eustace, and Halliday will be our midfield, that's if eustace is fit enough to sign! Even then if eustace doesn't sign I think either someone else will be signed for our new midfield, remember warbo likes a 4 3 3 formation, don't see were law fits into that! Tbh he isn't good enough for Glasgow Rangers! ED!

{Ed039's Note - Its a long season and I think Nicky Law will get plenty of playing time over the course of it, if the team plays a new formation I think it will get the best out of Law)

21 Jul 2015 18:47:42
ed I agree nicky law is better than he has shown up to know

{Ed039's Note - I also dont think Halliday will play a central role, he will play a wide attacking role which is his best position, he will also fill in at left back when needed)

21 Jul 2015 19:07:09
Ed I don't dispute that he will get game time! But I in my opinion will not be a starter,I think Warbo will sign someone just a bit more creative and consistent for that position! Law lacks consistency! Just my opinion lol

{Ed039's Note - I know its your opinion, I just think that Law will see alot more game time than you think, he is a creative player and I am hoping we will see the best from him under the new manager)

21 Jul 2015 19:26:27
Fair enough ED, I'll agree to disagree with you on that!
But I have a feeling it might be Templeton that shines under Warbo! But I'm looking forward to the new style of play!

{Ed039's Note - I agree that Temps will shine, he has not been used properly and hope that a new style of play will help get the best from him)

21 Jul 2015 20:02:18
I can see the 3 attackers really suiting all our wingers except for aird. Mckay, walsh, temps will have more freedom to go and attack.

21 Jul 2015 15:37:38
For all the Bears not going tonight. The game is being shown live on Rangers TV for a one off 5.99. Looking forward to it myself. I know it's a friendly but I'm anxious to see the new look squad / system at work

21 Jul 2015 16:47:33
How do u pick up rangers TV?

{Ed039's Note - Via Rangerstv.tv and then pay for the game)

21 Jul 2015 17:56:42
Cheers ed I'll maybe have a look

{Ed039's Note - I have paid already, I live too far away to make it from work so this is quite useful for me)

21 Jul 2015 18:47:38
It says you need to be outside the UK to watch it? Or can I register and pay the £5.99 then that it?

{Ed039's Note - I see it says that now, but it didnt earlier, plus if the match wasnt available in the UK they wouldnt have the £5.99 there, only the dollar sign)

21 Jul 2015 19:22:58
So will we get to see it if we pay the money and live here?

{Ed039's Note - No its live, I have started watching the pre match coverage already)

21 Jul 2015 13:15:53
Cant believe people are on here still moaning about players we signed I for one am delighted to open a paper and c rangers linked with players rather than clubs wanting our or the usual bad press we have had over the last 3-4 years come on guys be happy at some point big money players are out of our reach for now our biggest signing if it happens will be scott allen let's just be satisfied for once no doubters

21 Jul 2015 15:22:44
some folk never happy I think everything is going well

21 Jul 2015 10:32:29
I think if we manage to get promoted this season we will have had a great escape. The lack of a scouting network has really impacted us badly. I don't believe for a minute this is the team we would have built with an effective one in place. I understand fully where we are and how we need to do it, but this team is uninspiring and lacks ambition, I don't care how young and hungry they are we only have these players because he knows that league and they're cheap.
For me our club is still extremely fragile, no promotion this season and we will be back to square one and potentially still no decent scouting in place. Probably all screaming for MW to be sacked and King to stump up the cash.
Make no mistake this is the biggest season in our history, potentially make or break.

I wish MW and DW all the very best, I hope they pull it off. Incidentally I think they can and will.

Yes, good idea, let's pump 20 million recruiting players and at the same time pay them 20 k a week! Why don't we also bring Coisty back since money limitless .

21 Jul 2015 12:35:13
you say these players are young, hungry and cheap, and also as manager knows these leagues. I would suggest that each of these facts are a good thing and does not necessary mean they are not very capable player,which would be wonderful compared to ast year.

Next time try reading slower or I could write in capitals if it helps you! I never mentioned anything about spending big or Ally.

lw

These are good facts, but the question is are they good enough. Not having a scouting network may very well be the reason for not getting promoted.

I did say that I believe we will do it.

Dear oh dear season not even started you've covered all the bases
You say!
1. if we manage to get promoted!
2. The team is uninspiring and lack ambition!
3. You don't care how young and hungry the players are there cheap!
4. The club is extremely fragile!
5. No promotion this year and were back to square one!
6. No scouting system in place!
7. Probably all be screaming to get the managers sacked!
8. This is the biggest season in the clubs history its a make or break season
9. You hope we can pull it off
10. Finally you say incidentally I think we can pull it off .

Well at the end of the season you can certainly turned round and say told you so, you'll get at least one correct, we've not even played a serious game yet! You've written all this then said we can do it!!

21 Jul 2015 19:20:32
Not really interested in 'told you so'.

If this team struggle to compete, the usual angry mob will be out in minutes.

21 Jul 2015 07:18:11
Ok I'm going to put this out there!
I am against us signing Scott Allan this season when he's a free next season.
The team as it is will win the championship. Although I do think we need 1 or 2 more.
We would be better saving or using the £800k elsewhere. Allan would be a guaranteed starter all season in the championship for hibs and this would give us more room to develop current stock.

21 Jul 2015 08:02:52
or we take one of their prized assets, guarantee that he comes to us also, All this next year on a free talk annoys me, let's say out of nowhere a top 6 team from the English Championship want him, still think he'll come to us?

21 Jul 2015 08:30:53
Exactly onlyshowaround

21 Jul 2015 10:06:20
Maybe but I want the Scottish cup this year.gets us into Europe next season.bold statement here.if and a big if we sign Scott then the Scottish cup is a good possibility.spoke to guy whose friends with an Ayr player and he said rangers absolutely pumped them.wouldnt give them a minute.exciting times.cant wait till tonight to see what we are like. even if we get beat

21 Jul 2015 13:02:38
blue genious I don't think we are certainties if we bought allan and sibbald that would boost middfield and nobble opposition

21 Jul 2015 18:24:37
Good and valid points Bigwull and Only show around.nobbling opposition is a good idea it's the money involved that gets me. Also if he'd rather go to championship then let him. He can be another little known scot plying his trade or he can come to the club it is reported he loves.all the young guys we have signed are keen. Halliday is ecstatic. He will too.
