Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


29 Aug 2018 22:27:43
jason cummings has scored 6 goals in 5 games at peterborough, was this one of stevies mistakes not keeping him? imagine having morelos lafferty and cummings.



29 Aug 2018 23:03:55
People will say that's his level. End of day you can only score against what's in front of you. Out with old firm, typical Scottish tram defences are on par with league 1/ bottom end of championship in England.



29 Aug 2018 23:12:25
No.

I like the wee man but he’s at a league one team for a reason.

Gerrards style is high press or sitting deep closing the space, takes a certain type of player to do that, Cummings is a decent striker but would never suit our style now.



29 Aug 2018 23:16:16
I was torn on Cummings, think he would’ve banged in the goals but his work rate was nowhere near what the teams is right now so Stevie G obviously didn’t want anyone slacking.



29 Aug 2018 23:24:34
Hes scoring goals in league. Could not score goals for us. Was not good enough its as simple as that.



29 Aug 2018 23:33:47
Peterborough. Rangers . I mean really.



30 Aug 2018 00:02:10
Still unsure of Cummings. Scot Premier still more of a league than Peterborough standard. At Peterborough only recognised striker.



30 Aug 2018 06:02:49
I'll tell you who, if he was 10 years younger, would have been absolutely perfect for steven gerrard's system,
kenny miller! He would have been superb in gerrard's, hard working,
pressing system, don't you think fellow bears?



30 Aug 2018 07:42:11
for the £500k he was going to cost I wouldve taken him.



30 Aug 2018 08:43:00
Jason Cummings was gash. Liked his attitude and the fact he never said a bad word about his experience at the club but can’t think of one good reason or one great thing he done while at the club. Morelos and Lafferty are a big step ahead.



30 Aug 2018 11:25:00
@molsgoals look at morelos, scored a lot in a little league but could still do it in our league, your point is crap.



29 Aug 2018 21:11:59
Is the match tomorrow being played on a plastic pitch?



29 Aug 2018 21:34:29
Yes it is Bankie.



29 Aug 2018 23:28:46
maybe the killie game was a blessing in disguise.



29 Aug 2018 19:30:16
we have a good enough squad to compete in the spl. go through tomorrow we need 2 players in pronto.



29 Aug 2018 20:24:48
The Albanian lad is a done deal according to all reports and club is awaiting completion of medical.

I think Worral might be waiting for Europa result (s) before committing.



29 Aug 2018 20:48:46
Joe worrall is also practically a done deal, irrespective of our europa league result tomorrow! Worrall to have his rangers medical tomorrow!



29 Aug 2018 21:30:29
SC11 - is that an opinion or a perception? The latest news on Worral coming is two days old - hope so but time is running out.



29 Aug 2018 21:44:33
Worral medical is happening tomoro. 1 year loan deal agreed subject to medical. Looking forward to seeing this lad play, he’s great addition.



29 Aug 2018 21:53:06
Media is reporting that he travelled to Glasgow earlier today (Wednesday) to undergo a medical.



29 Aug 2018 21:57:35
Agreed Scotty, should push Katic and Goldson all the way for a start.



29 Aug 2018 23:35:32
Worall dying to see the lad play 👍😂.



29 Aug 2018 19:16:09
Don't know if this will be approved or not but heard from a friend of a friend of a friend kind of idea the reason our fan zone being cancelled. It's basically corruption within Glasgow City Council and in particular underhand dealings from a specific Celtic supporting councillor who is hell bent on stopping us from doing it as he doesn't want any extra cash coming into Rangers.



29 Aug 2018 19:34:45
Struth
I am afraid this is hardly a surprise to most people -look at the way promotions and recruitment is managed in GCC.



29 Aug 2018 20:06:20
The boy had many anti rangers posts on all of his social media before he made them private. They’ve cut off their noses off to spite their face. Lost a lot of money for the city just to stop us from expanding.



29 Aug 2018 23:10:03
We in Glasgow only have ourselves to blame, when a right wine grape like frank the five fingered wrist wrangler says RFC are being treated badly by the republicans in national party then we must take note, any self respecting unionist who actually voted for this Govan councillor now know the kind of person he is . BTW the children of ibrox cannot afford the cost of using the pitch at the complex and it is rarely used on match days at ibrox.



29 Aug 2018 15:44:34
With rangers on the verge of 2 new signings according to roumers and the press with the deadline approaching do you think we might sign someone last minute that becomes available i just think we might.



29 Aug 2018 16:52:40
Cob if we win tomorrow I see another two in.



29 Aug 2018 17:10:31
That would be tremendous, on top of Worrall and Grezda if we qualify I definitely see an ace up Mark Allen’s sleave 🤞🏽.



29 Aug 2018 17:24:52
Wee bear. If we qualify I see another right sided defender and top notch striker.



29 Aug 2018 17:45:14
We don’t need a right sided defender we have Flanagan and Tav.



29 Aug 2018 17:55:59
If we go through that would amazing and an extra 7 million coming our direction. If we were to get another one in I would love to push the boat and sign petar bockaji from that mob agai I was really impressed with him. The thought of Bockaji, Morelos, Grezda and also lafferty as our firepower this season would be exciting 🙏👍🏼.



29 Aug 2018 18:20:07
Can see that too Jboy, think a striker on loan along with another, maybe a couple out also, could be a busy day on Friday!



29 Aug 2018 18:25:14
The tims are out in force the day with the disagrees lol.



29 Aug 2018 18:44:29
Lumie someone to cover rcb.



29 Aug 2018 18:45:03
Weebear who would u put out mate.



29 Aug 2018 19:07:58
No one Jboy, unless we can improve any area with a one in one out scenario. Numbers wise I think we are almost there, like you i’d like another central defender on top of Worrall as cover, then I think we’d have 2 players for every position more or less as well as guys who can cover more than 1 position, I only say maybe a couple out as these things can work both ways and Friday could be a busy day.



29 Aug 2018 19:30:05
Cool we bear, I see guys like Kelly, ridden out on loan but don't count them as kids.
Wonder if we will try move Wallace, also, heard tonight we knocked back loan deal from Dunfermline for mccrorie the goalie.



29 Aug 2018 19:55:57
Just noticed Worrall isn’t in the Forest squad for their Carabao cup game against Newcastle, must be on his way right enough.



29 Aug 2018 20:53:32
Weebear. Says loan fee agreed with us and medical tomorrow.



29 Aug 2018 21:49:49
With Worral and Grezda being confirmed tomoro I think that will be it for us and being honest the players coming in exceeded my expectations. Let’s hope we win tomoro night and keep the momentum going into Sun. There is no rush to spend the European cash if we get through.



29 Aug 2018 23:17:09
Noticed tonight on bbc radio show that the game is not on tomorrow afternoon, I hope that we can get the job done and get a good group, I don't mean an easy draw I want big teams like arsenal or Chelsea you know box office games just to shove it up those bstrds at pacific quay, and the turncoats like Thomson and dodds .



30 Aug 2018 02:00:00
Why are people saying 7million for Europa? its 3million euros for getting in, around 300k per win.



29 Aug 2018 14:58:16
Another true story from timalloys fantasy island

I would just like to wish Sevco good luck today.
after all it must be difficult flying 7 hours to the back of beyond in a fekin Easyjet plane lol.

The man is hooked on phil 3 names every word.



29 Aug 2018 17:10:08
PB1, in English please. No idea what you're talking about.



29 Aug 2018 17:13:24
Why repeat that rubbish on here PB1.



29 Aug 2018 17:55:20
because it's timalloy in disguise haha.



29 Aug 2018 23:23:25
Why rise to the bait lads, just agree with them and he will get fed up, remember it "IS ALL ABOUT THE RANGERS" at least he won't be watching the game as it will interfere with his loitering around the school as it is an early kick off, capo gatza.



29 Aug 2018 13:01:05
Is anyone else not impressed with this Gredza? Watching his highlights he doesn't look anything special at all, I said the same about Saidq and I was shot down by fans, if you watch Gredza on YouTube he's playing against diddys and he looks ok nothing special. Surely I can't be the only one?



29 Aug 2018 13:47:40
There’s a shock 😂 negativity before the guys even signed.



29 Aug 2018 13:50:02
How about giving him a chance to at least play for us that might be an idea!



29 Aug 2018 13:59:36
Brill rh9 . did you by any chance say the same about alfredo last year. Big Sadiq will come good just like alfredo. his style is totally unorthodox and one minuite he will be a clown the next a magician but at the very least totally entertaining . What I have seen if the boy he has massive potential ( that is Sadiq ) but at the moment we need more but his last manager warned us but said be patient and we will be amazed and Stevie reiterated that. Obviously that is harder for some than others.



29 Aug 2018 14:22:32
I don't mind what the score is as long as we go through without extra time and penalties. But would love to see the other mob have to play extra time and penalties.



29 Aug 2018 14:30:40
No negativity here, if he signs I’ll be fully behind him, all that aside my honest opinion (which I’m allowed to have) is that he doesn’t look that good, I feel we could do better, I’m guessing people have watched YouTube videos on him so what’s the honest opinions?



29 Aug 2018 14:31:44
Got my doubts about Sadiq, but think grezda will be good.



29 Aug 2018 15:48:22
Same as you Caw. Grezda looks a warrior, versatile and tricky, though only seen youtube clips, reading what the fans of Osijek (? ) are saying, got a good feling he'll be special. Not impressed with Sadiq so far but early days. Give the lad a chance.



29 Aug 2018 16:12:38
Honest opinion RH9, is that nobody, including you, really knows except those who have scouted him, watched him intensely, played alongside him, and they seem to believe he's the real deal. I'll trust their judgement anytime against that of a negative casual observer who has watched two minutes of YouTube.



29 Aug 2018 17:20:56
RH9, you know nothing about this guy except a few excerpts from youtube and yet you think you are entitled to an opinion?

You must be on a different planet - why not just show some trust in SG and the scouting team and hod yer wheesht until you have seen him in the flesh!

Amazing supporters we have!



29 Aug 2018 17:30:05
@Dutycalls I’m not asking for there opinion mate I wanted yours personally.



29 Aug 2018 18:01:18
RH9 is right guys if you can't judge someone by their YouTube hilights reel then how can you judge them?

By actually watching them play.

Wow!



29 Aug 2018 18:07:54
Steve G already said he spoke to Katic about Barisic. I'm pretty sure he will have spoken to both these two about Grezda. If they reckon he's a player I'm happy to trust that judgement 👍.



29 Aug 2018 18:16:26
@DK17 are you serious, I’m not allowed an opinion on a player? Of course I’m entitled to an opinion. I’m asking what’s yours? It’s really simple just, as stated in the OP what’s people’s opinions on the players ability? Don’t want to comment because you ain’t seen him in the flesh then don’t comment lol.



29 Aug 2018 18:28:12
RH9,He is a professional footballer, he may have played against some diddy's but I'm sure when he played for his Country 6 times nd his last game against Turkey scoring the winner that he wasn't playing against diddy's. And I'm also sure SG would have checked everything out that there was to be checked including a wee chat with Baresic and Katic who know him well, instead of negativity why not support the manager and his decisions, let's all move forward and support our team and players, Manager and board because they are building something very special and Rangers and their supporters will be the benefactors of all this.



29 Aug 2018 18:58:59
Careful now Buz, let the boy have his opinion and negative views before he gets upset.

Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps if SG is reading this and will have a rethink after he sees RH9's valued opinion!



29 Aug 2018 19:37:54
Look on here everyone talks about how great players are on YouTube. I remember last season everyone raving about Pena, Herrera and Cardoso and stating wow these guys are amazing and going to rip it up in Scotland, if the back of YouTube videos. Also Aaron Neneme from city everyone was going nuts for and all were horrific. Now Katic and barasic are looking very good in this team and a great market for us, trust in the scouts and we will be good, going by YouTube is false.



29 Aug 2018 19:58:01
It’s been reported that lKatic and Barisic. said the boy was by far the best player at Osijek last year so I think I like Stevie will take that opinion over others sorry rh9.



29 Aug 2018 20:29:47
Again I’m not asking for SG’s opinion or any of the players I’m ask for your opinion on his ability. It’s a simple question, I’ll ask again, anyone else think he’s not the best and we could poteinally get a better player in?



29 Aug 2018 21:01:09
Personally think you can tell a lot from YouTube. Can remember the Pena hype, checked him on youtube and saw how void of any technical ability he was! He came to Rangers and sure enough his first touch is a tackle!

In regard to Grezda, he had good technique, is tough in the tackle and can score. What I really like though is I couldn't tell which is his preferred foot. He looks equally as good with both.

The one thing he appears to lack is pace though, but can't see that preventing him having a good Rangers career.

Also don't think we would risk spending the money unless the scouting and coaching staff were absolutely sure he was the real deal!



29 Aug 2018 22:18:50
@zikos I like that mate was thinking the same about his pace, hopefully i'm wrong, I doubt our scouts know much about him as he’s been injured, that’s why he didn’t play against us.



30 Aug 2018 07:33:35
I don't have an opinion on the lad because I've never seen him play.



29 Aug 2018 11:49:26
Right bears.

What's everyone's score prediction tomorrow? Be honest!

I'm going for 1-1.



29 Aug 2018 12:00:12
0-0 bear. Tough game but I think we will get through.



29 Aug 2018 12:28:36
Think well win 2-1 there going have attack us so well have chances.



29 Aug 2018 12:41:49
2-1 to rangers.



29 Aug 2018 12:44:25
2-0
Think the Motherwell result is a bit of a wake up for the team and we will be a bit more focused and clinical.

They have to score so we should get a bit more space.



29 Aug 2018 12:44:40
Poseidon, definitely will be a tough game mate. I'm already nervy haha.



29 Aug 2018 13:11:12
Im confident. 0-2 Rangers.



29 Aug 2018 13:24:06
1-0 Rangers. If SG reverts to a back four we should keep a clean sheet. Can't see how he can play Morelos and Lafferty? We need to keep it tight.



29 Aug 2018 13:50:35
Could play Lafferty behind Morelos Doiger?

We seen against Motherwell he holds the ball up well in that position, likes to receive the ball with his back to goal and knock it on. Could be perfect for an away game in Europe.



29 Aug 2018 14:01:17
Bearmode I agree with you, plus lafferty has plenty of dig.



29 Aug 2018 14:03:34
I think it will be 2.1 them us going thru On away goals. would be happy with that . no extra time or pens please 🙏our worst result would be knocked out on penalty’s as we would be physically destroyed 🙏.



29 Aug 2018 14:19:40
We have to keep possession better in the last ten to fifteen minutes if we are in a winning position . not wellie it up the park.



29 Aug 2018 14:27:15
About 20 years ago we were in a similar position against Alania Vladikavkaz. We beat them 7-2 in Russia in the 2nd leg. Just saying. Put Morelos down for 5.



29 Aug 2018 14:46:20
3.1 rangers 👍.



29 Aug 2018 15:17:44
Really don’t know how this will go, they looked average at home but will be a different animal on their own (plastic) pitch. I’ll go for a score draw, an away goal should be enough for us and we are well capable.



29 Aug 2018 15:48:46
im saying 1-1. Interested to see how we set up. For me i'd go very similar to last week with both kent and candieas coming back in. for lafferty and barasic.



29 Aug 2018 16:14:44
Don't like predicting, but I think we'll have to score to go through.



29 Aug 2018 18:40:06
Bear
Lafferty could play behind Morleos, e is prepared and able to take on the shot from distance, Morelos is not and his shooting ain't great when he does.



29 Aug 2018 11:26:46
See some online posts from the paper's saying smellic are ready to hijack jordan jones deal are we still interested or even need him?
Reading the smellic fans posting about it to a man there is no interest in him one even said as if it coulnae get worse we're in for jordan jones.



29 Aug 2018 11:55:13
It's just an agent trying to make it public knowledge that his client has turned down a contract and is available for 500k. I doubt either Rangers or Celtic would want him. Might help him get a move to league 1 in England.



29 Aug 2018 12:04:25
Jordan jones won't improve Celtic so i really hope they do sign him.



29 Aug 2018 12:10:40
Methinks SG is looking at better class than J Jones, if truth be told.



29 Aug 2018 13:26:07
How can you hijack a deal where there is no deal and no prospect of one? Utter nonsense from Scottish mhedia as usual.



29 Aug 2018 13:43:00
Wel said duty calls.



29 Aug 2018 13:53:11
Hijack? 😂

Take him! I’d love to see him sign for them.



29 Aug 2018 14:01:56
87, as long as we don't sign him.



29 Aug 2018 11:22:27
Would love to know what is going on - one site says that cfc have tabled a bid for Worral, and another site stating that he is to have a medical shortly with us - wrap it up Gers.



29 Aug 2018 11:52:55
Saw that about Worrall must be an easy job scouting for them just go after who we identify!



29 Aug 2018 12:04:53
If he has a choice I'd like to think he'd choose us. Firstly because he's young and english and would have hero worshipped Gerrard. But also because his club should look at the way celtic treated that Chelsea boy last season, resulting in the loan being cut short.



29 Aug 2018 13:25:59
Ted ranger, Celtic did not mistreat Chelsea boy, he was very poor. Exactly what we should do with a poor loan player if it happens to us.
I'm hearing jake cooper is still so first choice and we will be back in next year.



29 Aug 2018 16:45:46
Jboy, mistreat him or not, he was a 2 year development loan. He wasn't supposed to be a world beater yet. Maybe Celtic overestimated him, but to take a player on a development loan and not develop him is poor. Worrall will never sign full time with a Scottish club, he needs developed. My point is we are surely more likely with our current set up to develop the boy.



29 Aug 2018 16:57:31
Ted mousanda was a twit, always late for training, billy big boots, I'm not here to defend them.
A Scottish club could never afford worrall, forest turned down eleven million bid In January from Burnley. I accept there market is crazy though.



29 Aug 2018 10:39:59
Ufa manager says they are going to knock us out of Europe then sign our best players (Morelos, Goldson and Tav) .

Russians have always been aff their nut.



29 Aug 2018 14:28:12
Hes on the vodka obv.



29 Aug 2018 10:02:08
UFA manager says after he knocks Rangers out the Europa league he wants to raid the squad he's impressed by Morelos Goldson tavernier well u can have them I say

Morelos 20M
Goldson 14M
Tavernier 9M.



29 Aug 2018 13:57:36
Is that Vietnamese dong
Morales £666.99
Goldson £466.87
Tavanier £300.13.



29 Aug 2018 14:25:51
I have some Vietnamese dong so might put a bid in for them as well at those prices.



29 Aug 2018 14:59:03
There is a dong involved HMRC Hector. We were all thinking that when we saw your post.



29 Aug 2018 09:13:45
Looking for a bit of advice lads. My wee boy wants some xbox footy game that has a gers edition pro evolution soccer. Anyone know where i would get the Rangers version cause i cannot find it anywhere. Cheers in advance.



29 Aug 2018 09:33:02
You probs need to pre order it. Also once is released I’d say the megastore at the stadium would be selling it. Could always send an email to the club, there’s contact details on the Rangers website 👍🏼.



29 Aug 2018 10:18:17
Thanks mate. I was going to pre order it from game but he says it had to be the rangers version lol. Proud wee bear.



29 Aug 2018 10:23:51
Just get him the regular version and tell him to wind his neck in, it'll be the same game.



29 Aug 2018 10:44:59
Davus hahaha, quite right!



29 Aug 2018 12:20:04
Please done waste your money on Pro Evo, regardless of their association with Rangers the game is absolutely dire! Best get him FIFA 19 and tell him to be happy.



29 Aug 2018 15:54:25
Pro Evo > Fifa.



29 Aug 2018 08:49:08
Guys, Is the Game not on Premier Sports? Is it just Rangers TV?



29 Aug 2018 09:01:17
Premier Sports now cancelled!



29 Aug 2018 08:46:44
take it Coulibally is just a rossiter in disguise. honestly incredible these players. play 2 games and that's it. why do we sign players who are constantly injured. I'm sure rangers get some sort of insurance pay out. I really think UFA will be a struggle in Russia. they looked a good unit at one of and know how to defend. then Celtic on Sunday I don't think will go too well.



29 Aug 2018 09:25:01
It's reasonable to assume that the fact that he only played 18 games last season is the reason he is here on an initial loan. Good player if we can keep him fit. Always a worry when players take this long to recover from a seemingly very minor injury.



29 Aug 2018 10:44:23
Always look on the dark side of life!



29 Aug 2018 11:29:40
Brilliant DK but so true.



29 Aug 2018 11:45:35
What a miserable git you are Jamie!



29 Aug 2018 14:31:08
Jamie
Take a happy pill.



29 Aug 2018 15:06:44
I knew all the positive comments about Coulibally couldn't last. Here comes the negativity already jeez.



29 Aug 2018 16:59:08
We are twelve games into a sixty game season give the lad a break.



Review Of The Day 29th August 2018

29 Aug 2018 07:29:09
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 29th August 2018



28 Aug 2018 23:55:55
Coulibaly looking unlikely to play either game this week.

Big loss 🤦🏻‍♂️.



29 Aug 2018 06:23:06
Totally agree BearMode, he’s been excellent since he came in and we don’t look the same force with him not in there, probably the first name on the team sheet when fit, along with Shagger!



28 Aug 2018 23:29:59
Gareth Barry would be a great shout. He is getting on but has had a great career. He might have signed a one-year deal with West Brom, not sure, but he'd be great for a year or two. He started his career with Hastings United, the adopted town where I live. I'm still as passionate a Scot as I was when I left my homeland!



29 Aug 2018 02:53:55
It was myself that disagreed diog. I think there has been a lot of older players linked to us in this window Davis Terry ECT however I think sg is going for young hungry players that if the do well we can sell on after 2 or 3 seasons. We already have artfield and dorrens to come back in that can provide that bit of experience.
Hopefully we can get that winger and cb over the line.

Imo the only other position that we could still improve is another morelas type striker. I think that laff and Sadiq will get goals but won't be prolific so hopefully morelas doesn't get injuries.



29 Aug 2018 05:56:58
Gareth barry
Behave yourself.



28 Aug 2018 22:23:41
Love hearing the positive and ambitious comments of young Docherty currently out on loan and getting competitive game time in England. He is class act and will return stronger to have e great career at Ibrox.



29 Aug 2018 08:35:25
Should of been kept, the bench on Sunday lacked any sort of depth.



29 Aug 2018 10:46:12
Yeah because he will progress far faster by sitting on the bench rather than playing every week!

FFS - give SG a wee bit of credit instead of mouthing off whatever comes into your heid!



29 Aug 2018 11:33:12
Don't agree bench lacked depth, Wallace, Arfield, Middleton, Sadiq, candaes, Kent and foderingham
Mccrorie suspended. Coulibally rossiter, Dorrans, injured plus three four still to come in
Docherty better on loan.
