22 Aug 2018 20:09:38
I read that palace are looking to loan out Jason Puncheon as coming back feom injury, would you take a shot on him, think he would stroll it up here very direct and quick.



22 Aug 2018 20:23:39
Puncheon on loan for a season could be the perfect replacement for Murphy. Not exactly the same player but a loan would suit us as Murphy has just signed and will be back next year hopefully. A PL fringe winger on loan if not Puncheon Could work for us šŸ‘.



22 Aug 2018 18:47:57
Welcome aboard Kyle Lafferty What a man!

What was the fee lads?



22 Aug 2018 19:37:49
Bbc radio Clyde both saying 450 k.



22 Aug 2018 22:55:26
Fee was undisclosed so nobody will know. Media just guessing.



23 Aug 2018 03:34:37
Fingers crossed he does better than last time around. Jury is out.



22 Aug 2018 18:29:47
Surprised to see lafferty only cost us 450k, excellent business. Well done mark Allen and those who negotiated the deal.



22 Aug 2018 18:27:38
I want a full and sincere apology for all those who said "JUST PAY THE MONEY" for Lafferty when we got him for less than Ā£500k. After your grovelling apology you are not allowed to comment on Financial matters on here ever again. I'm going to cry if I don't get more than 13 disagrees now . My record is 13 and I post some s**te some guy got 14 for just asking a question last week.



22 Aug 2018 19:21:45
Think u will find that I hold the record for the most disagrees on here, or so it was said. Thing is if I had revealed where I heard it then it would be understood why I posted it but never again! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤Ŗ.



22 Aug 2018 20:26:28
Yea bluepet the boards a joke caused they sav d 350 k. Ha I think what you have to remember is that the knockers and neighsayers are very small minded men but by slagging everything that moves it makes them feel big for a moment.



22 Aug 2018 20:34:59
Board should all be sacked - Iā€™m with FB, Billyb and IOM. ridiculous that they only saved Ā£350k!



22 Aug 2018 22:38:55
Yes and they are not letting us buy strips even although we are promised 7p profit from every Ā£1 . do they think that just because they work for nothing that they can keep making these crazy decisions even though itā€™s pulling us out the quagmire? Ridiculous. I think we should demonstrate
ā€œ Nine games without a hint of defeat . king and co should be out on the streetā€šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜œšŸ¤Ŗ.



23 Aug 2018 00:19:51
Uz 2 do some amount of slavering! we cany buy the strips at all mols so currently we are making no profit because it seems no one on our board know how to write up a contract. Many times has Ashley took us to court n won now? We might just get the strips from santa (if Ashley let's us)



23 Aug 2018 08:09:09
how many times has ashley taken us to court and won? erm i can't think of any actually even the last one an agreement was made out of court and the judge stated that rangers should pay costs but we don't know what the agreement was? so please list all the court cases ashley has won against us?



23 Aug 2018 08:32:25
I gave you your 14th disagree bluepete just to break your record. šŸ‘šŸ¤£.



23 Aug 2018 08:53:04
Iā€™ve just gave you number 14, your welcome šŸ¤Ŗ.



23 Aug 2018 13:42:57
Brian, tend to disagree just a tad. Ashley and his lawyears have had us tied in knots every court case. if u call 1/ 2 mill in lawyers fees on top of 3m to get rid of them from strip scene where they still hold all the cards a win then I'd be worried about your brain power. Ashley is toying with us and it's all personal now.



23 Aug 2018 15:46:49
Anyway onwards and upwards let's concentrate on the football. Can't make it tonight aso the Mrs is so unthoughtful she has to work lol. Be having a few beers n watching it with my 2 boys GET IN TO THEM LADS.



22 Aug 2018 18:04:49
Well done to all the bears getting the soap dodgers trending on sly sports. Oh the fun!



22 Aug 2018 21:20:05
so at least 3 of them are on here.



22 Aug 2018 16:57:32
great to see the TIM SKELPER BACK do you think stevie G will play him tomorrow night i would like to see him and wee buffalo up front.



22 Aug 2018 17:58:55
I think he'll start on the bench but he'll make a great foil for Morelos, coming in from the left and directly running at defenders. He might not score a lot, but he'll make opportunities and space for the wee man.



22 Aug 2018 18:11:44
Lafferty will start on the bench against ufa, the morra night.



22 Aug 2018 16:39:56
Done deal for lafferty 2 year contract an e excellent addition to the squad and will get us important goals this seasonšŸ‘šŸ¼ Terrible news about Murphy I do think we do need to replace him. Hopefully we can get another winger in and cover for centrehalf and it has to be said the business We have done in this transfer window spending very little money as well has been top class.



22 Aug 2018 17:20:58
Bad news about Murphy but it could leave an opportunity for Middleton. I know some say too young but think of Dalglish and Rooney at the same age. Nobody held them back.



22 Aug 2018 17:45:15
Fraser totally agree mate when av been to games this season n heā€™s played heā€™s been one of the stand outs.



22 Aug 2018 21:49:59
Middleton needs some spl game time asap to continue his rapid development, no use in him going to another team on loan or being demoted, he will come on leaps and bounds with games and to be fair, he could well keep Murphy out the team.



22 Aug 2018 16:22:21
Great signing today, especially now we are without Murphy for the remainder of the season. He gives us 2 players in one, can start out left or off the bench to fill in for Alfredo. Get a steady CB as cover and as far as I am concerned I will be delighted with our business.

Wallace training hard as usual so we have good quality players starting and covering FB positions. 55 on its way!



22 Aug 2018 16:31:25
We are still short of players and definitely need at least one more defender and another midfield player.



23 Aug 2018 00:54:51
Another midfielder? Even with injuries we've enough midfield for two teams.



23 Aug 2018 13:44:09
Centre half n a winger n were done I would say.



22 Aug 2018 15:44:36
How do we think the team will line up now given the signing of Lafferty and the injury to Murphy?

Will he stick with one up front and rotate Lafferty and Morelos? Hard to drop Morelos given his form right now.

Other option is play two up front, that would mean dropping a winger and playing someone in behind front two however?



22 Aug 2018 16:01:37
Lafferty can play left wing if need be.



22 Aug 2018 16:06:12
I think he will play lafferty on the left.



22 Aug 2018 16:56:35
Candieas, Morelos, Lafferty as a front three I would be happy thatšŸ‘šŸ¼.



22 Aug 2018 18:30:08
My team would be

McGregor

Flanagan. Goldson. Katie. Brasic

Tavernier. Jack. Airfield. Kent

Lafferty

Morelos.



22 Aug 2018 21:29:04
MOLS, Barisic is cup tied just now.



22 Aug 2018 15:20:07
He's 7 foot n plays the flute enough said
Let's go.



22 Aug 2018 14:52:00
all completed THE TIM SKELPER signs 2 year deal welcome home big man.



22 Aug 2018 15:52:10
Is that youbadmitting you were wrong teddybear? you were adamant it wasnt happening personally think its a good signing another positivešŸ”“āšŖšŸ”µ.



22 Aug 2018 13:58:57
welcome back lafalot.



22 Aug 2018 14:34:12
think the big man will be an important part of the jigsaw happy days.



22 Aug 2018 13:39:48
Unfortunate news Re Jamie Murphy however i'm sure the 2 more additions Stevie wants has now changed to 3! always thought even with Murphy we were a bit light in terms of creativity in the middle/ wings. Who do you think would be a viable option to bring in along with Lafferty and a defensive cover?

I know a few people want Middleton to be given the chance but let's get real here, the lads not the finished product and wouldn't do the job week in and week out between now and May especially with the extra possibility of European group stages and beyond.



22 Aug 2018 14:58:23
I see Middleton as a development player for the next season or two. Should get bench time and a 10 min run-out in a good few games where we are comfortable but would not like to see too much pressure or responsibility placed on him.

Build his strength, knowledge, confidence and talent gradually and we'll end up with a good player.



22 Aug 2018 15:33:42
Think we could do with more creativity from narrower, Tav and Barasic will provide us plenty width and as long as the machine Coulibaly and Ryan Jack look after the holes they leave then a quality ā€˜inside leftā€™ would be perfect, Lafferty I believe can play and be effective anywhere across the top end of the pitch!



22 Aug 2018 15:59:10
developement player. i hate that saying, what a load of crap. a player can't develope if he is sitting on the bench.



23 Aug 2018 07:11:31
I totally agree with you. I was really impressed with him in the pre season games. He loves running at the defence and showed great skill in doing so. We are missing that from our set-up just now. Get the lad some playing time and let's see how he fits in with the new guys.



22 Aug 2018 13:30:03
best wishes to jamie murphy for a speedy recovery.



22 Aug 2018 13:36:37
Massive shame for the lad, out for the season. He will be a big loss to the team. I'm sure he will get all the support he needs in-house.



22 Aug 2018 13:47:32
agree 100% lads

I ruptured my ACL in Feb and needed 2 ops and am still doing physio

terrible news - feel for the lad.



22 Aug 2018 17:32:08
timmy hitting disagree again šŸ˜‚.



22 Aug 2018 13:23:57
I feel signing mediocre players is ok as stevie g will turn them into top brass. eg -halliday etc.



22 Aug 2018 12:29:23
Mutton head Sutton saying Lafferty is a loose cannon and why is SG taking the risk in signing him. He must be getting worried. Twit of a man.



22 Aug 2018 14:00:55
Anyone the gers sign is not good for sutton as his mob ain't signing an were showing them up

Total num nut of a man his mob are world beaters in his eyes i just hope he remembers to turn off the disco lights then that wee dime light in his head might see how pi** his team is.



22 Aug 2018 16:06:04
all Sutton ever does is say the most controversial thing he can think of, that's why he keeps getting tv jobs. gers fans should just turn of from sky/ bt and use rangers tv for games. why rangers always get ex celtic players for commentators. so bloody annoying.



22 Aug 2018 11:51:04
As regards another defender, and from where rule out spl epl, suspect will sign player from efl div 1 or 2, europe possible but unlikley. somegood defenders in efl 1 or 2.



22 Aug 2018 10:39:49
SSN big laffs coming home.



22 Aug 2018 11:09:36
Lookin good for the big man all we need more is a back CH possibly back up for Murphy but i'd like Middleton to get a chance.



22 Aug 2018 08:19:02
People are forgetting this team FC Ufa Have spent a fair amount of cash on assembling a team and rested a few boys against Dinamo Moscow

Don't let this team fool you I did say it earlier We need to concentrate on our game and an A game at that

Lets do it!



22 Aug 2018 13:16:34
No one I know is underestimating them or taking anything for granted. I do feel thou if we play anywhere close to our best in both legs we will reach the group stages.



22 Aug 2018 07:27:44
Morning everyone, can anyone explain to me in layman's terms exactly what the position is regarding the strip sales please? Where exactly are we at? .



22 Aug 2018 10:05:44
Robbie c, layman terms SHAFTED.



22 Aug 2018 10:40:54
Jboy we werenā€™t shafted. my understanding is the board have backed Stevie G fully, heā€™s had pretty much everything heā€™s asked for in terms of upgrading training complex and at Ibrox. Heā€™s been backed financially in playing squad and still has some spending to do in this window and in winter as he sees fit. Hats off to the board for this and we are in much better place than anyone could have expected results wise. however. the board have massively fkd up with the new kit deal and by even affording Cashley the opportunity to challenge the deal and now be part of the deal is shocking! Itā€™s cost the club money, prevented large sum of money from coming in immediately and stopped the fans from buying the new kit. The board made this error, we havenā€™t been shafted! It should be a board priority to have this rectified ASAP.



22 Aug 2018 11:59:31
Scotty the question was re strips, nothing else, we are shafted on strips.



22 Aug 2018 13:12:13
Wow that was a rant, the lad only asked about the strips!



22 Aug 2018 13:21:38
We are NOT shafted on strips, the silence is deafening but it's very clear from the info that was available we could be selling strips with SD as the distributor on the same deal we had agreed with JJB. The board are obviously NOT receptive to this I think and I say I think as they haven't even had the common decency to update their fans and effectively their customers on the situation. I find it hard to believe the club cannot update fans and customers who put Ā£25 Million plus in every year but there you go, that's deemed acceptable at board level now at Rangers FC sadly.



22 Aug 2018 14:11:20
Lol in shorter terms we werenā€™t shafted. Board have been excellent but they fkd up with the kit deal.



22 Aug 2018 14:30:33
Scotty 123 Iā€™m behind the board. Read my posts. Ashley and his lawyers done us over. Hence the negotiators no longer on board
Iā€™m happy with everything else we are doing.



22 Aug 2018 15:01:50
Jboy I agree board have been great, however, it wasnā€™t Ashley that done us over. the board fkd up and gave a business man the opportunity to hit us hard again.



22 Aug 2018 20:43:42
Scotty the board have been trying feavorushly to rid us of this man . maybe this bus the only way king term has hey could. Remember 16 months ago Ashley was near enough running our board and club. He was never going to justv all away with 3 million and a thank you. I canā€™t beleive some people on here even saying rangers gave him a lease on the shop for 1 pound a year . don't they realise it was his own men that he planted that made these decisions . thatā€™s why we had to and have to get rid . It was him shafting us but because of king not anymore.
What would you gave done different from the board then Scotty boy. just went with the 7p in the pound as long as you got a strip? We need to rid of this man whatever it takes and the board kn better than you or I how to do it
But I am sure they would be open to all your suggestions
So letā€™s hear some of them boys come on.



22 Aug 2018 22:51:21
Also if Ashley still had the majority . by now without a doubt we would be called sports direct arena. be leasing the ground and trading ground from him . Not have the car park as an asset ( as he would have prob sold it or leased it back to us ) be paying him for the use of our logo and crest. be paying his crocked Newcastle players wages. buying strips at 7p in the pound profit . paying for all his cooked pals that he instates on our staff roster plus lots lots more . think about it bears . less we forget.



Review Of The Day 22nd August 2018

22 Aug 2018 07:29:12
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 22nd August 2018



22 Aug 2018 00:28:14
Dont know enough about the Waldo situation to criticise or defend him but he was fully involved in training this week. Don't be surprised to see him make his way back into the match day squad soon. He's a professional, will have handled him self impeccably well and Gerrard will have respected that. He is a top professional and those are the characters Gerrard wants around. People who want what's best for RFC. Watch this space?



22 Aug 2018 08:56:28
There is definitely still a place for him in the squad and he has a part to play this season.



22 Aug 2018 10:03:03
he is a good player, definitely offers something and loves the club. he will give his all for us, regardless of his ongoing issues with his disciplinary dispute.
