We should go for frank lampard free agent only wages what an addition he would be and always said he would love to play for rangers



27 Jan 2017 21:00:39
Would be great but really can't see lampard coming to us think he go to West ham finish his career then coaching job with them?



27 Jan 2017 16:26:11
If gilks goes who replaces him ?? Any thoughts



27 Jan 2017 17:32:20
Jak Alnwick from Port Vale being reported



27 Jan 2017 19:18:41
250,000 is the fee being quoted.



27 Jan 2017 19:40:37
Buy out clause apparently met but vale not happy with the terms



27 Jan 2017 21:43:39
100 quid up front then £250 a month direct debit! In all seriousness we always seem to **** about over instalments if fee is the same pay it and get deal done instead of passing about



27 Jan 2017 21:46:18
Yes its seemingly a done deal for the port vale keeper jak alnwick, who is also their joint club captain! Its costing us 250k!



27 Jan 2017 23:31:30
Rangers have offered £250K however they want to pay it over 12 instalments. Scraping the barrel now guys!



28 Jan 2017 00:04:31
Port Vale keeper. Is that what we are mustering now.



27 Jan 2017 11:43:21
We are a selling club if the right amount for a player comes in we should take it no matter how much we hate loosing players
Most of our players were bought on the cheap or the loophole like rossiter
If we were to get 2 million for windass then that makes sense money wise only if we can use the money to bring in more young players with potential.

As much as I don't want to lose these players I understand this has to happen for us to progress bringing in more players with a sell on value.

It's like a ladder 1 step at a time to get to the top I've no patience but as a die hard fan I'm willing to wait as I do t see us spending millions over night I buy 10 euro millions tickets twice a week and you know where my winnings are going when I win.



27 Jan 2017 15:15:41
Everyclub is a selling club for the right price. Don't know why fans always get caught up in wanting to sell their best players for cash.



27 Jan 2017 14:21:14
well put humey even for the people without any patience they have no choice but to watch us take one step at a time.

I told the wife that I would buy rangers and solve our cash woes if I won the euro millions!
she doesn't believe me but we will see when I win it although I only buy 5 tickets a week



27 Jan 2017 17:08:45
I agree to an extent but if we are signing players on pre contracts and selling them next year for a profit how do we build a team capable of competing for first.

I know every player wouldn't be sold on but presumably it would the best ones.

We need a balance and to sell at the right time and price.

Plus if we sell too cheaply other clubs will come to us expecting to pay peanuts so I think a bit of strength is required.



27 Jan 2017 11:23:12
rest in peace Billy Simpson! could use a striker like you now.



27 jan 2017 14:46:23
condolences to all the simpson family at this very sad time! great rangers legend and fantastic striker for our club! rip billy simpson, god bless!



27 Jan 2017 09:35:49
Mark warburton again today saying that there's a lot of terrific talented young players, up here in scotland! Why is he not attempting to sign livingston midfielder Mathew knox and falkirk left back tony gallacher? Two players who are very talented and have a big future in the game!



27 Jan 2017 10:37:47
Know made it very apparent he didn't want to leave Livi. Gallacher is being watched by a lot of big teams, we wouldn't stand a chance of getting either.



27 Jan 2017 11:08:59
Both would be terrific signings for the future, but both are being head hunted by the top teams in the EPL. Don't think we'll manage to get either of them unfortunately.



27 Jan 2017 11:35:27
We could get players with potential if there was a genuine route to the first team. We know first and foremost they must be good enough but if MW was giving youth its chance then others maybe prepared to follow.



27 Jan 2017 14:53:59
I think if our youths were good enough, they'd get their chance! It's all about opinions. any suggestions who's good enough atm? Not looking for the usual names that are struggling at their loan clubs.



27 Jan 2017 14:49:41
Guys, we have to go and ask questions as in regards to the clubs both mathew knox and tony gallacher play for! If you don't ask you don't get! Pursue it for god's sake! They can only say no!



27 Jan 2017 08:02:52

Very sad, thoughts and prayers to him and his family



27 Jan 2017 05:51:56
I am off to Prague in few weeks, is there any Gers bars there.



27 Jan 2017 03:35:49
Ok so been a browser / lurker here for a while and have a few thoughts you may agree or disagree but that's the way of the world.

The Reece Oxford loan if it goes through COULD be a good piece of business if we at least attempt what Celtic did with Patrick Roberts and try to ensure a decent loan period. I reckon 12-18 months if possible. I'd offer more guarantees of playing time in total if we managed to get longer.

I like MW and his vision, this doesn't mean I agree with him wholeheartedly! Our striker (s) are often coming too deep. Our passing and movement can be great but passing without penetration is pointless. I do believe our youth seems to be taking a step in the right direction (about time, and time will tell)

Now I get to a point no doubt some of you may have an issue with but hey ho, Halliday and holy are not rangers quality, served us well but they have to be on the replace for next season list.

Anyone and I am a rangers fan remember but anyone who thought we would come up and instantly compete or win are delusional or at least biased beyond logic. We need to get 2nd build and improve. The most worrying thing about that is that I don't think MW is entirely sure of who or what to build around.

We need an out and out RM/ RAM who can beat his man and produce (too often we turn back or hit a cross to nobody) we need an out and our anchor man / defensive ball winning midfielder and a true goal scorer. Let's face the fact you could swap the full back four there is nothing great there.

Think we missed out on 1 with Coulibaly would rather have spent 1M on him than what we did on garner, he proved he can produce at this level and was relatively young would have liked him.

I expect a few to to totally disagree or disagree to a point that's fine though that is my opinion.

Also we need Ashley out and money in ASAP



27 Jan 2017 08:28:47
Agree with a lot of what you have said but i think one of the main reasons we struggle on the riggt is tav, i think he trys too hard to be a winger and not a defender, then when we ply hodson he releases the winger erlier amd let's them run at his man



27 Jan 2017 09:34:39
I didn't expect us to win the title but to be so far behind is the most worrying aspect. We are miles behind and the gap is only going to go one way. We have spent a lot more money than Aberdeen and Hearts yet we aren't any better than either.

You talk about MW vision. Is part of that to continually pick centre halves who keep making the same mistakes? Under him we are far too easy to score against and you go to every game now expecting to concede. Halliday and Holt are clearly not good enough yet play week in week out whereas some players get dropped after 1 poor performance. It's clear we need and out and out goal scorer but again MW has failed to address this and it's a bad day when a team like Kilmarnock can unearth one and we can't with far superior resources. It's astonishing that not 1 of our players are in the top 10 league goal scorers and players like Callum Paterson has scored more league goals.



27 Jan 2017 10:07:03
The thing that kills me is, even with the worlds best striker, he would be struggling to hit double figures in our team, as the service from midfield and the formation are rubbish.



27 Jan 2017 14:55:49
Australian-ranger, that's why emerson hyndman has been brought in on loan! This young playmaking midfielder has the killer ball in him and will create chances for our strikers! So will jon toral of course. Warbs must start hyndman and it doesn't matter who's to drop out for to accommodate hyndman! All i know is we have to start this young fella! He's a tremendous young midfield talent! I wish we could get him for an 18 month loan deal!
