Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


21 Sep 2017 21:48:28
Motherwell beat the sheep 3-0. I wonder if the Daily Rebel or others in the media will be making headlines saying 'manager crisis at Pittodrie' or 'McInnes' jobs on the line' the way they do if we slip up when they're lining Pedro up for the snipers if we drop points. See big Moult bagged 2 as well - he needs to be captured by us at next window along with Walker.



22 Sep 2017 10:26:09
Couldn't agree more Ally. Think is even Rangers fans gobble that nonsense up and turn on him.



22 Sep 2017 11:35:43
I think one reason Pedro gets extra criticism is because of the extra expectation that comes with having spent so much and having such a large budget, compared to the opposition. Guys like McInnes are operating on a shoestring budget compared to Rangers. Any Rangers manager worth their salt should easily beat any of the opposing teams into second place at least. Time will tell.



23 Sep 2017 11:46:34
The difference is that we're Rangers and there Aberdeen that's why its big news when it happens to us. nobody cares when it happens to them



21 Sep 2017 21:30:36
Just watched moult score again tonight why didn't we sign him has plenty of pace or is he not Pedro's type of player.



21 Sep 2017 20:46:05
Why have we not signed Moult yet, discuss.



21 Sep 2017 21:17:08
discuss what transfer windows shut, probably try and get him pre contract in january if pedro wants him thatis



21 Sep 2017 22:19:55
Maybe its because you have no money, discuss!



21 Sep 2017 21:29:56
Because morelos is better



21 Sep 2017 21:31:58
Is it, I hadn't noticed. There's a wee clue in the question there, yet, not now, up to this point is what I was asking. And as for Lewis being touted as best keeper in league, that's up for debate after tonight's performance



21 Sep 2017 22:38:48
Its because pedro doesn't rate him or he would have bought him. He thought herrera was going to be the man in scotland. Will be good if we have an old firm final.



21 Sep 2017 22:59:43
Lol kwaj, now off ye go.



21 Sep 2017 23:10:23
Maybe because you're obsessed with all things Rangers kwaj, discuss!



21 Sep 2017 23:13:01
According to Brenda we've spent more than your lot



22 Sep 2017 09:00:12
Gary75

So we have 1 better striker than Moult in your opinion but do you not think Moult is better than Miller or Herrera? Do you not think we should have 4 strikers in the squad?



22 Sep 2017 09:49:31
Sparky

moult in and Kenny out at the end of season or get him in January if we can.

I would be quite happy with Morelos, Herrera and Moult as the 3 strikers in the squad.



22 Sep 2017 12:24:48
Because we wasted 5mil on pena and herrera, I know it beggars belief. Some say there is a player in pena, maybe we will see him soon and he will justify his 3mil price tag. My advice cletus, don't hold your breathe mate.



22 Sep 2017 12:25:24
Moult has been absolutely unplayable tonight. Should have been snapped up. Imagine him and the buffalo terrorising defences?



23 Sep 2017 11:43:02
Been saying this for weeks we should have signed him in transfer window I think a lot of clubs will be in for him and maybe he is out of our range now



21 Sep 2017 19:30:40
THE SPFL have SCRAPPED plans for an independent review into Scottish football's handling of the Rangers EBT saga


Maybe now all you septic fans will drop it nothing else u can do/ moan about now what happened happened it's in the past you just fearful of us been back and scared you will be back to second best before to long it won't matter now cause we are back and it's now just a matter of time before u result back to been the second best team in Scotland lol it will start on Saturday once we have shown u a game we may not win the league but beating you will be as good for this season ending your run will make u all run back under the rocks you crawled from.



21 Sep 2017 22:26:33
You been on the pipe again. Fearful, scared back to second best your pipe must have been working overtime today, do you read what you post? The irony is your old club cheated, they were caught and the outcome of this was liquidation. Your new club has and is taking the credit for something another club won by cheating, even funnier. You were only on top because you cheated. You want everyone to move on to accept the tainted titles you won by cheating. Losing to you lot at the weekend, well let's wait and see, however I am pretty confident you will be on the end of another beating. In the event you win a game against us enjoy it like the wee teams do. Have a really strong feeling it won't be this weekend, so no crawling and hiding under rocks required, although you may want to come Saturday 14:00?



22 Sep 2017 00:32:09
Oh somebody is hurting bad, i'd suggest a lie down mate or you'll have full on sevco
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ”΄βšͺπŸ”΅



22 Sep 2017 01:02:19
Highland you show utter contempt for the rest of Scottish football, are you happy with what your club done does it make u proud?
Your opinion really does become null and void when u say we are running scared are you for real?
We are running yes but all over Scottish football mate, its all about the rangers eh half your posts are about Celtic lol.



22 Sep 2017 08:39:56
And what about when your old co closed and then changed its company name pretty much the same thing when Desmond cane in lol away with with you both your replies says it all we never cheated we weren't the other only team using ebt so why just chase us for our titles away back to fifa/ uefa for the ucl and greet about fair play my friends what next u going to want the sugar from mammies tea vmback cause she took 1 scoop to many?



23 Sep 2017 11:48:20
Well done Highlander! Ruffled a good few obsessed feathers there. There can be only one!



21 Sep 2017 19:27:23
Every Ex player under the sun writing us off this weekend. I feel a Kevin Keegan rant coming on. i would love it if we go out and beat them this weekend



22 Sep 2017 12:23:53
Yeah according to most we have absolutely no chance, good no pressure on us then . We can win this game their bubble has to burst sometime so pressure is all on them . I am quietly confident on a win .



21 Sep 2017 14:07:12
right guys listen, i think that rangers are about to click which will be good if it happens on saturday but with the amount of chances we have each game and crosses into the box we should be scoring a lot more, once this starts to happen we will be a real force to be reckoned with.
i think by the end of this season we will have clicked and made the rest of the spl fear us again which is missing at the moment.



21 Sep 2017 14:28:20
So u think your about to click but u also think by the end of season U'll have clicked! So which one is it, now or the end of the season? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ got to give you credit for trying to be positive, but it won't matter one bit how many times uve clicked come 12 on Saturday!



21 Sep 2017 15:24:12
I think we have a while to go before we have clicked. I do believe however that we will give celtic a game on saturday.



21 Sep 2017 16:28:17
Our midfield is certainly stronger and Morelos poses more of a goal threat than we have had in a long time.

Our defence is still suspect and injuries have hit us at a bad time.

However, many a Rangers team have upset the odds in the past. If Lady Luck is on our side then 3-1 to Rangers.



21 Sep 2017 18:46:58
Doesn't matter how many we score. We need to stop conceding cheap goals. We're scoring and looking like scoring far more than we were last season.



21 Sep 2017 22:40:54
We need to beat the manky mob and stop there unbeaten run. Then take it from there.



22 Sep 2017 12:16:57
Peds you seriously need to take your meds. rangers will take a hammering on Saturday and the rest of the season will be catch up with the sheep for 2nd spot. It's already written in the history books. Just watched back to the future 11 and its all in the results page.



22 Sep 2017 12:22:06
Look if both teams play anywhere near to their potential Celtic must be strong favourites to win they are well ahead of us both financially and player wise we are still in the rebuilding stage anything we get on sat will be a bonus we are defenatly a better team now than last season and I hope we can grab second but it will take a share issue and a couple of transfer windows to even compete with Celtic be patient get behind the team and the manager I've seen good times and bad but every dog has its day and it will be ours again



21 Sep 2017 12:47:23
Just a wee post to find the general feeling amongst fellow bears what's everyone's feelings on Saturday personally I am a wee bit nervous to be honest haven't felt this way since the Walter days hopefully it's good sign

Been a season ticket holder for years and I am honestly nervous and excited



21 Sep 2017 12:50:33
I Feel very much the same way. Over confidence from them could be a factor though. Yes they have the right to be confident however they have played a risky game with some of their comments in the press. I hope we can keep it tight and hopefully nick a goal.
My prediction 2-1 Rangers with Dorrans to grab the winner ;)



21 Sep 2017 13:27:28
If anyones comments were risky its our very own Wes Fod



21 sep 2017 13:44:08
yes i've not actually read anything they have said other than forrest saying we are their biggest rivals.
but fod has basically don't their team talk for them.



21 Sep 2017 14:08:16
doen their team talk that was meant to say



21 Sep 2017 14:18:43
Feeling very excited (like a school kid) first old firm game for me in about 25 - 30 years, no 1 is giving us a hope in hell every 1 writing us off! I think we will give them a game and hopefully Nick it 3-1! Their run ends NOW!



21 Sep 2017 14:53:13
Yip feeling very much the same guys! Keep it tight and compact in midfield early on! Feel our way into the game and then TAKE their unbeaten record! Easy as 1,2,3 eh? Quietly confident, no, what the hell! We'll beat this mob on saturday! let's get right in about them rangers! always will be!



21 Sep 2017 15:36:26
I need a bevvy



22 Sep 2017 12:13:29
Forrest reportedly said they were looking to improve on the 5-1 from last season. This is very childish from them and should act as motivation for us. If it doesn't we are in soapy bubble!



21 Sep 2017 10:39:03
I would take 4 draws in the league against Celtic this season and take our chances against them in the cups.

On that note, team for Saturday should be prepared to nullify their flair and attacking players (Sinclair, Roberts, Forest) .

Fod
Tav. Cardoso. Alves. Hod
Calderas. Dorrans. Jack. Miller. John.
Morales

Make it ugly and go for nil nil.
Celtic will lose their discipline and shape in the last 15 mins and we will always have chance to nick it then. This is very much the approach adopted by Mury when we got a draw at Parkhead last season. If Pedro sets us up to go toe to toe we will be on a hiding. Let's see how cute a tactician Pedro is.



21 Sep 2017 13:50:20
WHO IS CALDERAS?
id have Candeias in that position anyways.
its not the game to be changing our formation but i think we would be better with rossiter and jack sitting and dorrans as cm with two wingers and pena playing behind the striker



21 Sep 2017 16:51:43
So only 3 at the back then Peds?



22 Sep 2017 12:13:42
Rossiter is injured



22 Sep 2017 12:18:33
Rossiter is injured



23 Sep 2017 11:44:19
Me personally would never be happy to take a draw against them regardless of the situation! always a must win for me! if your happy with draws then standards are slipping my friend



21 Sep 2017 03:03:06
@Kri55 Warburton's team lost many games last year, the fans remained resolute and didn't walk away so the way I see it we have nothing to lose.

Give me an up and coming youth player over the likes of Pena, Windass and Herrera any day of the week. You can add Wallace into that group as well. Yes he's been a loyal servant but he's spent and way past his best. Candeias has heart and tries his best every time. He has pace but that's all he's got to offer. He tracks back to cover Tavernier as he moves forward to try to beat the opposition's full back and get a cross in. Maybe it's me but is that not Candeias' job? It's a sad state of affairs when a full back has more of a chance to beat a man than the winger in front of him.

Most of the above mentioned can't pass the ball properly either and struggle with the pace of the Scottish game in general.

Every one of those youth players are bursting to get their chance. They've been raised by the club. They know what it means to be a Rangers player. They know the traditions and expectations.

Ross McCorrie was a prime example of that when he came on against Partick Thistle. He organised the back 4 and played without fear. His post match interview said it all. It's worth watching if you haven't seen it already.

I'm not saying we would be the next Manchester United and go and win the Champions League but we would build a team who already know each other having coming up through the ranks and there's no reason why they wouldn't go on to win domestic trophies.

In my opinion a pretty substantial section of the fans still think we could go on lengthy Champions League in the not too distant future which is just pie in the sky. They hang on to the glory days of signing superstars such as Laudrup and Gascoigne. Those days are gone and the sooner the fans realise that the better.

In reality we can't finish above Aberdeen in the league never mind do damage in Europe. Our return to European football this season also highlighted where we are right now - with 3rd rate foreigners!

I would have had every confidence of fielding 7-8 youth team players over 2 legs against a part time team who finished 4th in the Luxembourg league last season.



21 Sep 2017 07:30:33
Blackandredsocks you totally sound like a Celtic fan with that statement a big waffle of total mince yeah let's play a bunch if kids after buying players that ain't as bad as u and some make out they are clicking it takes time and considering that were 3rd and in the first semi we ain't doing to bad a good result Saturday and the rest will be forgotten would kids have did that we will never know kids should have been played few years back to get us thru the leagues we missed a trick get over it support the team or don't bother but your drivel is not worth the time posting or even reading



21 Sep 2017 08:09:06
, sorry black n red what complete bollocks mate. Your blind if you can't see we have good players. Calves doesn't get 90 odd caps and still continue to be called uo cause he's mince. Pena is still a bit off the pace but any real football person can see he has glimpses n will come. good. cordozo is decent and will only get better. Jury still out on herrera and candias puts crosses into the box for fun. Him and tav link well down the right. Sorry mate but your on the funny fags. i'm all for bringing through youth which PC has been doing but if they ain't good enough, then tough some will, be good enough and some won't.



21 Sep 2017 10:35:53
God I'm glad I don't live in Blackandresocks world. I tend to agree with Highlager on this, no way is that a Rangers fans post. think he's from another team. we have a better team now than last year. yes we need two or three more added to the squad, but that'll take time and more importantly money which is just not there.

if you look at our team, it's been built on a very small budget that Pedro spent. what, maybe seven or eight mill net after selling players. Celtic have players worth twice or three time our whole team, so forget about the league, it was never going to happen. too soon, we need to finish second. it will be hard as Aberdeen are right with us.

we are not the old Rangers full of multi million pound players, those days are gone. the only way we can move forward is patience. we need to build again in Jan transfer window; a left winger, a striker. look at the defence, we need to get a share issue, raise some money to invest in the team.

Ashley being out of the picture allows that. The kit deal will start to put money into the budget for next season, we are moving forward. I know for some (the glory hunters) it has to be instant success, but at this point Celtic are way ahead. they had years of champions league money, they have a settled team who have played together for a few years now. one or two in during a transfer window, but the heart of the team has remained, that is what we need to get to.

I don't expect much out of the game on Sat. I'm a realist, I'd like to see a good display, fight for everything, but I've supported this team for close to forty years. I seen us through the good times, I've suffered through the bad times and there have been much worse teams than now, but I remain behind the team and manager. be patient it's slowly getting better.



21 Sep 2017 11:35:05
Well said thinkaboutit. I too am a long standing Gers fan (52 years I think) . You are right, years of accumulating CL money has given them an advantage. If we can get back to win the SPL title within the next couple of years and back into Europe again (hopefully depriving them of any real European money) then we can begin to build solid finances again. I couldn't care less about all this 10-in-a-row nonsense. What would that prove? In the absence of Rangers in the top flight, it just shows how poor Aberdeen, Hearts, et al are that they couldn't mount a challenge. Once Celtic meet real opposition (e. g. PSG, Barca) then they get stuffed. As I've said before, big fish, small pond.



21 Sep 2017 11:57:31
The youth players need bedding in to the team, and how can you say that tav shouldn't be bombing forward taking on players down the wing?! That's the modern day full back, they attack and defend. I think, signing wise candeias has been one of the better players that we have got in, his crosses are a vast improvement to what we had last year. He uses his pace to try beat players also.

Pena's scored 2 goals, and hasn't really had a full 90 minute game yet, herrera also 2 goals and is showing glimpses he'll be useful to hold up play. And windass is improved already from last season. We have to give these guys time, mexican football is completely different to scottish football.



21 Sep 2017 14:20:05
7 or 8 youth players. can you name these players? . or as expected are you giving them a game simply because they play for Rangers youths? Have we legalised glue sniffing?!



21 Sep 2017 16:35:14
Black Andres socks

We should have tried that years ago when we were banished to the 3rd division

Unfortunately Ally was from an era where an old pro was better than a promising youngster, even if he was played out of position.

Mistakes were made but now things have moved on and we need to be competitive in the top league and the fans need to see progress year on year.

Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, This ones for Fodtheprod.



21 Sep 2017 14:01:54
our players will come good i have a good feeling about pena and morelos forming a good partnership with pena playing just behind our goalscorer.
herrera looks like he could be good but doesn't show a lot of fight which isn't acceptable in the scottish game
