I would like to see Scott Allan at Rangers but is he really as good as people are saying? He is a stand for Hibs but he is playing in the Championship against a few part time teams not the SPL
He is not worth more than £300,000 if any team can get him for FREE come January
23 Jul 2015 09:55:34
When you think of the wages spent on a scuz bucket like Black,and that boy was for the taking. Its disgusting.
22 Jul 2015 22:00:27
Hibs have rejected a bid from Rangers for Scott Allan.
22 Jul 2015 19:20:25
Does anyone have any info on Eustace? Seems to have gone quiet, seem to here so many people on here saying we are desperate for a creative midfielder. I disagree, with Holt being signed and hoping Warburton gets the best out of templeton and Law I think it's imperative we bring in a tough tackling holding midfielder with experience who can help the likes of Holt, Halliday, Murdoch, Thompson in two ways.
1. Someone to do the donkey work so they can concentrate on creating chances.
2. A bit of experience in the midfield who has been there and done it to help the younger lads progress as players.
Personally from what I've seen and read from derby and watford fans Eustace is just the man do this job for us, a job that hasn't been done properly for a couple years at rangers.
23 Jul 2015 07:25:16
All football teams need the fans to buy tickets and kits to make money to pay for the team wages it's a business that has to make money to stay in business
23 Jul 2015 08:33:30
Jonathan Douglas is the latest name, he is free to leave Brentford according to the daily mail.
23 Jul 2015 08:50:11
i saw that one too. He sounds like a similar sort of player to Eustace. Not sure if it is just paper talk as he is same position as we are looking at and Brentford. DM say he is free to leave but the manager was in Brentford press this week saying he might be cpatain this season so not sure
22 Jul 2015 16:37:06
DK interview on SSN not saying much!
22 Jul 2015 16:47:24
DK said one thing which justifies what I've always been saying about him:
"Rangers football club will only be number 1 in Scotland again when the Rangers fans start outspending the Celtic fans. If the Rangers fans stop doing that or continue to withhold funds Rangers will never be as big as Celtic."
In other words, "get yer wallets oot because I'm no payin"
22 Jul 2015 18:06:54
You aren't quoting very well there Expat. It was to do with retail. We want a football team that can provide for itself. The only way to have that is to buy season tickets first. And then buy retail.
22 Jul 2015 17:11:21
Aye thanks fae telling us flump awe.
22 Jul 2015 17:36:58
He's just needs to be heard to be telling the fans we need to dig out and buy the merchandise if we get the deal renegotiated which he is meeting Ashley for soon. Which is all true, if we do get a new deal and we want to compete with Celtic again over time we must outspend them like we used to do, he's saying the right things before he goes in to negotiations
22 Jul 2015 19:31:23
At last you are starting to get it that the fans will be the cash-cow once again. So much for his over investment (1.5 million LOAN). Sky paid for Jim whyte to go interview DK in South Africa (a waste of time!). As for the Retail King knows what MA walking away price is & still no mention of any listings & no Nomad,auditors but wants you all to run out now & spend spend spend!!!
22 Jul 2015 20:04:04
Missed it but I would guess he did not repeat his ‘Would I be willing to invest £30m despite what happened previously? Of course.’ quote.
22 Jul 2015 17:55:58
i knew that would be the warcry
22 Jul 2015 19:59:06
You had also been saying that we would be liquidated by last January .
22 Jul 2015 18:27:01
The comedy road show continues! The billionaire Dave king wanting the follow followers to spend there cash again! So much for over spending eh! Maybe he was talking about the followers overspending haha! 3 years and use will be in the CL but,and not forgetting challenging the champs! Looked out the window there,thought a seen some pigs flying Hahaha!
22 Jul 2015 19:54:37
Finally he has said it mr king eh what a guy rangers will only b as big as celtic if fans spend spend spend wtf u did spend for 3 yrs and what sfa get the shamless 1 to spend spend first but he won't and u lot shouldn't either till u cansee some improvements anywhere ie stadium scouts youth there is loads hecould b doing but is he?
22 Jul 2015 22:59:15
You be careful now DH88 and not laugh yourself to death. And you were the one that brought up Karma- oaft calm doon.
Shandybhoy I was going to have a wee pop at you to, but you ended up talking quite a bit of sense. Suppose there is a first time for everything
23 Jul 2015 02:46:53
Haha it's funny your team was playing last night yet 'use' are busy obsessing over our problems haha
King is giving sales patter ( it is a business after all) in hope we have enough coin to keep our tiers open , maybe whoever is running Celtic should do the same?
23 Jul 2015 07:27:48
Check the times of our posts buddy! We thought we'd pop on and have a laugh before the champs played haha! And mannering I can't help but laugh! It's been one joke after another that's came out of ibrox mate! Haha! It just amazes me how many time use get took for mugs but still follow follow any half wit that gets the keys to ibrox haha!
23 Jul 2015 08:35:39
Good luck in Azerbaijan, remember and tell ciftci not to bite anyone and keep his muzzle on at all times, and make sure the thumb knows not to be racist. You send back tonev and bring in a biter.
23 Jul 2015 08:58:07
onlyshowaround:
"You aren't quoting very well there Expat. "
I was quoting him word for word, not sure how I can do much better.
Your apologetics for the big fibber does our club no favours.
23 Jul 2015 10:29:06
Expat, No you were not my friend, I was watching the interview while reading your post, Close but no cigar.
23 Jul 2015 12:36:08
What King said is exactly right. Merchandise is a huge part of a club's lifeblood. And if we want to be successful again then we have to get to a point where the fans are buying merchandise again. What he also said was that the current deal is not good for Rangers and with the current situation ie boycott, it can't be good for Sports Direct either. Therefore he believes a renegotiation of the terms would be beneficial to both parties. I would love to see the back of MA to be honest but if that's not going to happen and the club can renegotiate a substantial difference in the terms then I would be prepared to start buying again.
23 Jul 2015 13:35:57
parky,
Since the club have to make up any shortfall in the amount sold at "near retail" price, then it bothers Ashley not one bit how few are sold. He gets the money anyway.
Rangers continue to get 7.5% of the money from every shirt sold, so we'd have to buy 4 times the shirts each to match what Celtic get from their retail deal.
The idea of us being able to "outspend" Celtic fans in retail alone is ridiculous, but unfortunately it's not the most ridiculous thing King has said.
23 Jul 2015 15:35:06
How does Ashley get his money??if there aren't any shirts sold he gets nothing.if it comes to it I will donate £50 to the club rather than give that fat pie munchin greasy face I'd love to kick in a penny!
22 Jul 2015 15:21:13
Still lots of clever work to be done
So far, impressed with Halliday, Tavernier and Wilson
We definitely need a creative midfielder and a great finisher!
I'm sure if we get a good quality striker in the door then there will be enough quality and competition to push for a place in partnering him
Early days and hopefully once the team gel all players will impress and fight for a places
Impressed with the attention to detail showing by Warburton e.g having trackers on the players
Little things like this are so crucial for shaping the team
Lots more work to do but happy giving the fact it is the first proper game together
23 Jul 2015 09:26:40
Hear hear mate, but its going to take time and a few disappointments along the road, but let's be honest after the pash ally gave any true gers fan knows were only going in one direction and that's up.
22 Jul 2015 13:47:20
All in all, I think Warburton has brought in a good mixed blend of players, considering we are playing in the Championship
Those players will have to go out and prove to Mark Warburton of why he took an interest in bringing them to Rangers F.C
We need to push out the boat and go buy a creative midfielder and most undoubtly a quality finisher!
We have enough competition upfront on our books for to see who works best with a new quality finisher!
Early days, but I for one am excited to see how it all comes together.
Along the way, there will always be room for improvement and there will be players that will be surplus to requirement, so every player will want to prove successful from here on, in this exciting chapter :-)
22 Jul 2015 15:54:45
It is a very exciting chapter!
22 Jul 2015 13:38:46
Don't know what his wage would be but it wouldn't hurt to have a look at Aleksandar Tonev from Aston Villa since their manager is trying to get rid of him didn't have the best of spells at Celtic but if we can get him on his game I think he would tear it up here, possibly a loan deal with a fixed fee for next summer if we wish to make it permenant?
22 Jul 2015 15:46:11
The guy was done with racial abuse no thanks not the sort of person to have at our club
22 Jul 2015 15:53:03
Definitely not. Not only is the guy rank rotten he is a racist.
22 Jul 2015 13:28:08
Was at the game last night, and with the comments on this overall mixed feelings from most fans. Tempo dropped second half expect that tho. But overall ball recession was generally pretty good I know you can't be that crucial due to it being a pre season friendly but that Burnley side are by far better than any team in our league this year. Hibs without Allen are nothing. No doubt better looking than last season as it wouldn't be hard due to last years squad being full of absolute garbage, too put it nicely. Personally think we need a few flair players. Playmaker behind the striker or a couple of tricky wingers. Don't think templeton aird McKay Walsh have got that spark even at this level never mind premier league. Big striker also needed in my opinion.
22 Jul 2015 13:29:20
Good performance yesterday I for one couldn't get to Ibrox, recently broke my arm, so travelling was too much and I can't drive just now
It was watched for £5.99 on RTV
More positives that negatives to be fair
This Burnley team for one have played together and only just dropped out the top flight of England
There was no stark difference between the two teams Rangers were better in the first half hour and Burnley got to grips after quite a cheap goal conceded
When Rangers had opportunities, it was evident to see that they badly need more penetration, directness!
That creative player in midfield was missing, to carve open defences with acute clever passing, hard to find in our game but the best ones I can think of off the top of my head, for sheer value in our game today would be both Ryan Gould and Scott Allan, with the latter being a possibility
Don't want to be too critical of Waghorn as he has just come in the door! It is obvious that he is not an out and out striker. Not at all clinical for sure! What I will say is that he has a decent workrate
We badly need a finisher and I'm sure we can pick a decent partner with that finisher out of remaining forwards we have already on the books
Still think we need a star midfielder as mentioned (above) and a quality finisher
We may need to push the boat out a little bit to find those type of players
All in all, I am happy with the performance these boys still have to gel together so they will get better
All players have to do their bit for the team
Players impressed with so far:
James Tarvnier, Danny Wilson and Andy Halliday
================================
Mark Warburton and Co are on the right track to success Impressed that he had the trackers on the players, those ideas and the reasoning behind it make the difference!
Everything down to a tee will make a difference, when all come together e.g players behaviours, (no energy sappers) sports science, dieting, proper hi-tech training, (may that involve one touch to half touch football if Mark Warburton can pull in another coach or someone that can help him adapt that style unless he has got the know how himself)
Most importantly we require a Hi-tech scouting network, which I'm sure is being put in place
Keep up the good work
In Mark Warburton
22 Jul 2015 15:07:13
Nice post Kaz, couldn't agree more. The signs are there that this is shaping up to be quite a solid team and with a good finisher up top we should do alright.
22 Jul 2015 15:54:06
Finally a right back in who likes a tackle, not had one since Hutton.
22 Jul 2015 14:47:15
I think all Waghorn needs is a decent run of games which he hasn't got the last few years, he gets into the right positions just sometimes the final ball went astray but that will improve the more they play with eachother and know their playstyle I reckon after a few games hel start getting a good goal tally but yeah I agree with the creative midfielder from the centre if we get Allan which is a possibility considering how quick we've been with our business after we enquire about players there's a slight possibility it could happen as soon as Friday if you got him playing well creating through the middle it opens it up more for McKay and Templeton to exploit there which I think would rip a lot of defences apart this season
22 Jul 2015 12:00:29
Ian Black to sign for Rangers.!
Berwick btw :-)
22 Jul 2015 16:00:53
Well he was linked to a club in England.
22 Jul 2015 08:50:49
I think the signing of jordan Thompson could be very shrewd I thought he looked a really good player I no he only played 35mins but he showed enough to show that he could be an excellent player for us bags of potential.
22 Jul 2015 10:40:54
I expect him to establih himself this season. Technically very good with a passion for the club and only 18yo. Great bit of business.
22 Jul 2015 08:49:43
Yeah Murdoch was playing with the youth over in Ireland Warburton was making sure that him and a few others were getting match fit under Ian Durrant
I believe it is two 90min games so all good rather than him maybe getting say 15-20mins against Burbled
22 Jul 2015 08:48:09
1 Foderingham, 2 Tavernier, 3 Wallace, 4 kiernan, 5 Wilson, 6 Halliday, 7 Law, 8 Allan, 9 Waghorn, 10 May, 11 Vukic.
Wot do others think about this??
22 Jul 2015 10:07:08
Vuckic no.
22 Jul 2015 10:31:20
Stevie May is no good enough, especially for the money he will cost.
22 Jul 2015 11:10:33
Allan, May, and Vuckic ain't going to happen
22 Jul 2015 08:30:22
Was at game last night wld bring Allen in 2 play next to halliday and law as winger try and get May on season loan wld fear anyone.
22 Jul 2015 08:08:49
First of all decent performance last night but the forward players were a slight concern. I was surprised to see Halliday playing the holding role although he played well to be fair but I'd thought he was more of a wide player. We can't rely on Temps or Barrie McKay, neither has any end product at the best of times and we have very few options. Tom Walsh looked good when he came on but I'm not sure he'll be a starter. Personally I would spend on wide players before Scott Allan although I'd still like/expect to see him join.
Thoughts?
22 Jul 2015 13:53:31
Awe cmon. give the two guys a break.one game and already folk on here wanting temps and McKay out.yes sometimes it never came off for them but I saw enough last night if given a run in the team they will get a bit more confidence.the ones I worry about are the friggin FANS.some fans really need to winde their necks in and SUPPORT the team.read warburtons managers bit in the programme.we need to be patient and stick together.also forget vuckic.he is not the type of player who will fit into this style of play so please stop mentioning him!
22 Jul 2015 06:27:33
anyone know why the club deck wasn't open last night
22 Jul 2015 07:29:46
Where is the point in opening the club deck if only 23,000 show up? Maybe 38,000 open it. Not 23,000
22 Jul 2015 08:35:48
Its shut down because Ashley owns the car park.
22 Jul 2015 12:50:42
The Club Deck has not been open for a number
of years for friendlies and games where s season ticket is not valid. Has nothing to do with the car park but size of crowd
21 Jul 2015 23:47:18
Badly need another striker after what I just watched, looked decent played good stuff but the new guy from Wigan missed two sitters, I know it's early but still.
22 Jul 2015 08:12:06
The striker from Wigan didn't look the best but only arrived the other day and trained for 20 mins with the team. Need to give him a chance. The right back looked good
21 Jul 2015 23:38:22
A said hardie, when I meant Walsh played well when he came on,,,,,,
21 Jul 2015 23:26:47
Really disappointed with the set up tonight with pay at the gate, total joke man, never got into the game until 27 minutes into it, and other folk probably didn't get in until well after half time, game was ok considering we played all the news boys against a decent settled team, coming from a better league, a draw or rangers win would've been a fair result, the new boy at right back looked a decent wee player, and that boy hardie looked great when he came on, thought the keeper was a bit edger to release the ball as soon as he touched it, plus this might sound daft, but a thought if we went route one a couple times, we might've got a goal, played to much football, but it was a decent work out!!
22 Jul 2015 07:24:21
Short pass practice going well. Can't wait till they get to the wee bit where they get to know how to convert the effort into goals.
That said a very pleasing performance. Roll on Hibs
22 Jul 2015 07:36:34
Was Fraser Aird playing RB for the majority. Looks a better option there as he lacks end product but is quick and works hard for the team.
22 Jul 2015 07:48:41
Ingore me. too early. Thought Travernier was excellent as was Halliday!
22 Jul 2015 13:35:09
I agree op got to the game with 20 mins till kick off got to the turnstile stated on my ticket only to be told I needed to join what can only be described as the biggest line of people I've ever seen as the gate I went to was for smart card users only I managed to get in to the game missing the first 15-20 mins which i'm told was our best 20 mins of the game there was 3 turnstiles but only 1 of them was in operation it was a bit shambolic given the fact the attendant at the smart card gate was sitting doing practically nothing as there was hardly anyone using the gate they were working at
22 Jul 2015 12:29:33
Good thing is burnley are used to playing against teams that play that way, most of the Scottish teams except possibly Celtic would find it hard playing against that
21 Jul 2015 23:09:20
I think that Vuckic and Tavernier would be the perfect combination on the right hand side. I was very impressed with Tavernier. McKay would not be in my first eleven, but hopefully he can prove me wrong.
22 Jul 2015 07:04:11
Vuckic doesn't have enough pace for me, if he signed I would like him to play as a striker.
21 Jul 2015 22:57:50
Is jelavix and Weiss not up for sale / loan two Rangers die hearts would love to see them
Back at ibrox what's your thoughts guys
22 Jul 2015 12:30:54
Maybe weiss but barely any chance of that happening and jelavic is too lazy
21 Jul 2015 22:52:30
Does anyone know what wages our new signings are on? Heard a lot of talk of transfer fees and that danny wilson is on around 6/7K a week, but that's it.
22 Jul 2015 01:11:07
