Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


29 Dec 2015 22:37:50
Ibrox was rockin man! My boy and I, proud of our team. Hibs fans added to the atmosphere but it was great to shut them up.
My take on the Queens 11:

Foderingham; Needs to command
Tav: Needs to be a RB 1st then a RW
Keiron: Strong, tough no4 shirt wearer
Wilson: Needs OUR love and support
Wallace: Deserves the armband
Halliday: Will run through brick walls
Holt: Unsung like Ian Ferg, Mccall. Solid
Law: Done well, maybe got a future?
Wee Baz: Needs to believe in himself
Miller: Runaholic! True bluenose
Waghorn: 1st on teamsheet. Amazing workrate, movement and all round attacking, hold up and stylish team player.

As for Mark Warburton. I love him! Calm, eloquent geezer.

Happy New Year to The Magic Hat's out there. We ARE the people.



30 Dec 2015 01:10:05
My comments are:

Foderingham; Needs support in front of him
Tav: Needs to regain his previous confidence but get back to his position
Keiron: Strong, tough but needs to read the game
Wilson: Needs to be more dominant and be one step ahead not two behind
Wallace: Deserves the armband and OBE
Halliday: needs to get back more and forget the boy hood hero tag
Holt: Unsung could be a future legend as long as we don' have to sell him
Law: Has improved and could have a future if he keeps it up
Wee Baz: young and keen and will develop into a far better player than we think we have.
Miller: May be a True bluenose, but sorry Time is up
Waghorn: Not my 1st for the team sheet but s that's all we have, we can't deny his work rate, movement and all round attacking and play hold up, but far from a stylish team player. He needs far better quality of support.



30 Dec 2015 19:54:30
Miller is the worst player in the team by far.



29 Dec 2015 20:29:01
Can't wait to get back to the SPFL. The quicker we're back challenging Celtic at the top the better, where we belong. Hate having to be associated in the same breath as Hibs as supposed rivals.
They have no class from the management down to the players. They've tried to trash talk their way into the big time and I was happy to see us wipe that smirk of Stubbs's face.
How can he and Fyvie actually defend that dive. Not the first time either of them have shown unsporting behaviour. I hope they both languish in that division for a long time to come, it's their rightful level IMHO.
Few good additions and we could have this title wrapped up for the next visit to Easter rd. We have played them off the park every time we've played them.
Thought the atmosphere was electric on Monday.



29 Dec 2015 19:20:34
Hopefully I am wrong but i reckon we could get hammered if the singing during the Hibs game turns up in the match delegates report. I would not put it by the SFA to impose a deferred points deduction which will be activated should a further breach occur during the remainder of the season.



29 Dec 2015 21:53:54
Aye it looks like it will be included in the rep's report. God knows how they'll hammer us. I'm sure it will be costly one way or another. It's a pity because it will take some of the shine of the victory. Haven't exactly heard a media clamour asking for retrospective action against Fyvie.



29 Dec 2015 22:58:48
You know that they will look for anything to drag us down get it right on the pitch and they will do us for stuff off of it it's time to leave all the crap in the past as an ex soldier who has patrolled the streets through the troubles it makes me angry when I see or hear idiots shouting their mouth off about things that if it was happening in this country they would move and for those who say they are loyalist to the Crown why did they not sign up i did and the one thing I learned was it's a old of crap that just causes monumental trouble that isn't worth it life is too short we don't need it our club has been through enough we don't need any more shit for a few wee dafties that don't know what they are talking about and may only go to football to project this voice of ignorance with no understanding of the thing they are shouting about and probably less about football too let's stamp it out we the majority of rangers supporters that don't want this have to make it clear to the idiots we don't want it as it has no place anywhere I would have loved to see them volunteer to do top cover or patrol after closing time during the troubles they would shit it because it's one thing acting hard when there is 50,000 between you and the opposition different when there is just a fire team or a section of 8 against a few hundred when the pubs close.



30 Dec 2015 08:33:03
well said gary75.



30 Dec 2015 12:11:49
Too many people hoping for punishment so they can play that worn out victim card they love so much.
Nothing will be done as in the past, because, unlike UEFA, the authorities in Scotland don't have it in the rule book if the club has taken measures to prevent it.



30 Dec 2015 14:13:45
Don't bet on it. The authorities here like to set precedents using Rangers.



30 Dec 2015 22:45:20
The singing would not have been an issue if hibs had won the game.



29 Dec 2015 18:43:05
Just saw that Everton have agreed to sell Naismith to Norwich for £8 million. Should put to bed the stupid rumour of him coming back to the famous.



29 Dec 2015 19:00:50
No welcome at the brox anyways.



29 Dec 2015 21:55:12
Good riddance.



30 Dec 2015 11:21:06
Naismith was never coming back only delusional dreamers would have thought otherwise and yes he did run out the backdoor at the first opportunity with not even a thank you for all the times we stood by him during his knee issues. I would like him and Ally to be honest was he forced out the door or otherwise.



29 Dec 2015 17:31:57
ok so regarding the halliday red card. he blatantly had a kick at the cheat prior to the head and or shoulder incident which is a red every day of the week. end of. fyvie should have got a yellow for cheating followed by a red for the high boot on our captain. once again end of. deecee.



29 Dec 2015 18:10:39
Well if you say so it must be true. By the way there was no head incident, just saying.



29 Dec 2015 18:38:56
Ok deecee if you say so we will talk No more about it ever again!



29 Dec 2015 16:18:11
Does any 1 know much about the lad we are ment to b signing on a free transfer from Doncaster Harry Forrester?



29 Dec 2015 17:44:41
Big cog he is meant to be going through a medical as we speak, he was also up here watching our game yesterday .



29 Dec 2015 17:53:02
bigcog 123 - He had a loan spell at Kille a few years ago for 7 matches, (like Kiernan) and went into Brentford and Doncaster, interested Ajax while at Brentford.



29 Dec 2015 18:26:08
Big cog don't know much of his skills but seemingly he was at ibrox watching yesterday's game, in m. w. we trust.



30 Dec 2015 00:16:35
Cheers lads defo trust m. w he must see something in him time will tell if he's any gd.



29 Dec 2015 14:55:08
just been watching a slow motion rerun of the Halliday / Fyvie incident.

Halliday deserved a yellow for aggressive behaviour
Fyvie deserved yellow / red for simulated cheating

Remember Lafferty?



29 Dec 2015 15:25:03
Fyvie should get a retrospective ban for blatant cheating we will see if the relevant authorities take him to task on his embarrassing actions.



29 Dec 2015 18:09:25
I hated it when Lafferty did it. I still hate it.



29 Dec 2015 21:02:26
The hibs player held his face when his face was not touched, he done that to get AH sent off, he is a wee cheating person.



29 Dec 2015 14:09:20
i know I moan with the best at times, and although we are doing great under MW and DW I'm just thinking about messages I keep reading here about some players.

Wilson and Kiernan - not good enough
Miller - an empty shirt
Gasparotto and Murdoch out on loan
Walsh and Hardie not getting a break.

Just bear in mind, MW SIGNED Wilson and Kiernan, MN sanctioned Millers contract extension, MW sent Gasparotto and Murdoch out on loan,
MW doesn't pick Walsh or Hardie, so all I am saying is that MW and DW are doing a great job, but in my humble opinion they don't always make the right choices.
I hope they choose wisely with the January acquisitions, that's all.



29 Dec 2015 14:35:11
Fair point wee bill who would u drop to get Walsh and murdoch in the team.



29 Dec 2015 14:49:15
hooly78 I think Murdoch would be a decent risk in the defensive midfield roll, and I think Walsh could be used from the bench, Hardie deserves a punt in place of Miller, and Gasparotto could replace either Wilson or Kiernan. Remember too that Zelalem, Odowa and Ball will be gone at the end of this season So I think we need to utilise our own youngsters better than we do, in some games this season it was obvious we were going to win, yet very few times did we use the youngsters. Thompson got a run a few times ans Hardie once or twice, but our problem fitting players in, is the 4-3-3 formation, it works ok, but is not flexible enough in my opinion to give playing time to players who have shown promise on the fringes.



29 Dec 2015 14:51:22
Why are you not the manager I'm sure mw hasn't seen these players up close and alongside each other he earmarked someone to play in front of the centre backs but the guy never made it the performances that he has got out the guys who were already here is nothing short of a revelation to me for the money the gaffer has spent the team is brilliant obviously we need a couple of others but if we did it straight away we would pay over the odds for the league we are in or just get players of a standard for that league. Let the man get through the next transfer window see what he does but I suspect that the real difference in player class will be in the summer.



29 Dec 2015 15:14:16
gary75 it's a BANTER site, all about opinions, nothing more nothing less, re your opening comment, do i really need to answer?



29 Dec 2015 15:23:27
guys not sure what the clamour is to get Murdoch back in the type. Whilst good in the lower divisions, unless his physique has magically bulked up, he is just too small for the Premiership.

We are constantly getting caught out by runners but I recall last year strikers easily outpacing young Andy despite him having a 10 yard start.



29 Dec 2015 17:18:36
Too small? Didn't know there was a height regulation. Being a big player doesn't make you a good player some of the best players in the world are short in fact our best player just now is jason holt and he's got to be one of the shortest in the team. And in no way was murdoch ever outpaced when he had a 10yrd start he's actually a quick wee player. 100% we need a dm does he need to be 6ft plus nope does he need to be built like tank nope, all he needs to be is good at his job. I'm not saying the young lad is the answer but I'll certainly not discount him because of his size.



29 Dec 2015 19:07:51
Murdoch is nowhere near good enough for Rangers. Nothing do do with his size, he is just not rangers standard.



29 Dec 2015 20:03:42
Who do you think is rangers standard? Murdoch is a good player and would easily slot into this midfield and not look out of place.



29 Dec 2015 16:28:24
Garrionbluenose

Think your being very harsh on Murdoch I thought he came in and done a really good job. He totally nullified Allen during the 2-0 win away to Hibs and thought he didn't look out of place in the team. Was disappointed he didn't get his chance this season and was disappointed he went down a division on loan. Still think he could be a good player for the club however now is probably not the time to bring him back.



29 Dec 2015 17:45:16
Too small for the premiership? Maradona, Messi and Iniesta are all very small does that mean they aren't'/weren't good enough too?



29 Dec 2015 18:06:24
The boys a decent enough player but not exactly setting the heather on fire at Cowdenbeath. Aside from his goal a few weeks back I'd heard nothing about him. I know that League isn't extensively covered but when the boy Andy Robertson was starring for Queens Park you certainly heard report of it.



29 Dec 2015 18:03:26
Kenny Miller has been an outstanding player for us over his 3 spells now, yeah he might be getting on but his work effort is superb, to call him an empty shirt in an insult, he grafts his arse off and gives his all, and I'm delighted the gaffers signed him up for next year, even in training the younger players say he trains harder than anyone, he's an outstanding professional.



29 Dec 2015 12:45:52
I see patrick Bamford has ended his loan spell at palace. Would he be out of are reach for a loan signing he has been on loan at Middlesboro and mk dons hardly footballing giants.



29 Dec 2015 07:38:26
A week ago Hibs pinched a win over QOTS from the uncontested drop ball incident and Stubbs said he'd only been able to see it through green tinted glasses. Yesterday's disgraceful cheating is then defended using a glass half full or empty analogy. It may be fine to kick sporting integrity or general sportsmanship into touch in the pursuit of winning but from my point of view, if a Rangers player did what Fyvie did I'd be embarrassed and want the club to take action.



29 Dec 2015 08:30:53
Hibs where lucky to finish with 11 men I think it was Henderson who made a disgusting tackle on Wallace high with studs showing could of broke his ankle.



29 Dec 2015 10:54:26
Halliday kicked Fyvie before he barged him that alone has seen players sent off remember Beckham and Gascoigne slight wee kicks red card.



29 Dec 2015 13:43:20
Bigp did Fyvie not kick out at a rangers player only minutes after halliday was sent off.



29 Dec 2015 13:34:14
Will the sporting integrity campaign be shouting for Fyvie to receive retrospective action followng his behaviour big p? Remember lafferty and mulgrew 2009.
By the way I'm no fan of lafferty but the circumstances are the similar if not the same.



29 Dec 2015 13:43:08
The reaction of Fyfie was a disgrace. He was clearly shoulder barged on his shoulder and why he then clutches his face is cheating. Halliday was wrong to kick him and to get involved but the reaction was blatant cheating. I would be surprised to see an appeal be successful but Fyfie should get a retrospective ban for his play acting.



29 Dec 2015 16:41:45
Don't see the media coming out and panning Fyvie for his blatant cheating. If it had been one of our players they would already have had the gallows built. Sporting integrity? Don't make me laugh! Btw who else thinks the wee rat (Fyvie) was wearing eye liner? Had to do a double take when I saw him.



29 Dec 2015 17:20:41
Will take your word for it, I'm old school, not into men's cosmetic ranges.



29 Dec 2015 19:11:26
The referee was against us from the first whistle. He was giving Hibs free kicks for anything then playing on when it was a blatant foul against us.



29 Dec 2015 21:59:00
Agree, don't know how many times McKay was body checked and got sweet fa.



29 Dec 2015 18:27:27
Fraser fyvie from aberdeen.



29 Dec 2015 17:51:52
The seeker you could have a point in regards the eye shadow, as I me sure I seen him handing a physio a clutch bag on his way out the tunnel, and the clutch bag had the initials a. s. on it maybe he forgot his own clutch bag and had to use his gaffers, lol, nothing would surprise me in regards either club from Edinburgh, lol.



29 Dec 2015 01:17:08
What a performance. Fully deserved three points. Could have been as many as 6 again today. Completely outplayed a team that has put a great run together and are clearly good enough to compete in the SPFL.

Every player in the staring 11 and those off the bench played out of their skin today.

The fans were outstanding and got a performance that reflects the level of support.

Just another three points but the confidence the players will get from this result is vital.



29 Dec 2015 04:41:09
Totally agree thorn a very good performance today. what impressed me more than the quality football on show was the fighting spirt, the desire to win back possession when we didn't have the ball, and our togetherness as a team. We made hibs look average. i felt we had to win today as we have been getting a lot of stick from some fans media, ex pros . Other managers all a bit over the top imp so to win and get the performance was brilliant. We have a young team that has proberly never played in a atmosphere like that before. going 1 down showed they are right up for the challenge . There is no better site than a bouncing ibrox. So very happy bear today . I think Nicky law deserves a mention as well av not been nickys biggest fan over the years I can hold my hands up to that so after his layoff from injurie he has not put a foot wrong . And lastly what a gem we have in young holt he has to be steal of the season at £60,000 and he is only going to get better the sky's the limit for him. Ps a lot of absent friends today with all there negitve comments, nelson, rod the prod . biffo, Colin, to name just a few hope use enjoy that humble pie. we will win the league with a bit to spare.



29 Dec 2015 09:11:43
we ain't played like that every week and we should be, those guys play for rangers, that means u give 100% every game, that's why some of us criticise, there's no humble pie.



29 Dec 2015 11:40:53
Rod being a supporter is about supporting the team through thick and thin. If u can cast your mind back to after the Morton game u were calling for MW to be sacked and replaced with Alex MacLeish remember and my response to u was rod please stop sniffing glue. So don't eat humble pie support the team instead of talkin nonsense after a below par performance also I do believe that the team give 100% everyweek sometimes it gos for us sometimes it doesn't. I don't think they don't try 100% everyweek but hey rod waffle on.



29 Dec 2015 13:46:39
East enclosure

This is a fans forum and fans are entitled to come and criticise if they feel they need to. U seem to think that this shouldn't be allowed and that no one should have an opinion you don't like. All fans of every team criticise their team don't know why you seem to have such a problem with it?



29 Dec 2015 14:40:27
Biffo your back glad to see your ok I thought u have been obducted by aliens as u where the invisible Man yesterday. you have been telling use for weeks how hibs are better than us how they have a better squad than us how we would be lucky to get a draw against them and all u could see was the playoffs again for us. as u say this is a fans forum and everybody is entitled to there opinion I agree entirely with that so has your opinion changed? Because u have been very vocal about urs for weeks. By the way biffo not all fans critise there team check my posts I don't I support mine. i see the biggar picture and can see what the manger and players are achieving maybe u should try it.



29 Dec 2015 17:55:21
East end enclosure, we made his look very ordinary, that's because they are very ordinary, a few of us have been saying for long enough hibs are not a good team and I still say Falkirk will finish 2nd behind us in title race.



29 Dec 2015 23:28:38
Billybluenose I can't believe I am writing this but here gos I think hibs will finish 2nd yes agree we did make them look ordinary yesterday but until yesterday they had same points as us. a much as I dislike them them I think they have quite a strong team. i have also felt that we will win the league with games to spare felt that way when we had a 11 point lead and still felt that way at 3.o clock yesterday they wer on a 17 match unbeaten streak including beating the sheep so I would not say they are a bad team and think they will easily finish 2nd.



30 Dec 2015 00:07:30
East end I be been saying for months, Falkirk will finish 2nd and I won't change my mind, but we will find out soon enough. Falkirk have put a good reliable team together only losing to our selfs and hibs. I also think hibs will sell a couple of there better players in this window.



30 Dec 2015 13:02:56
Billybluenose I think Falkirk will sell some of there better players in the window. but like u say mate we will find out soon enough. billy for me it's all about the Rangers and I honestly couldn't care less who fininishs 2nd like fernando ricksen said after helicopter Sunday 1st is everything 2nd is nothing. Would be over the moon if Dundee Utd go down as the way I see it is u reap what u sow.



29 Dec 2015 00:57:24
Good to see the Ranges back to winning ways. I went with my 8 year old son today and he thought it was the best atmosphere
He has witnessed
Having only been a few times this season to Ibrox the defence looks vulnerable
Kenny Miller may be on his last legs but Kenny is still a fantastic person to have around the club. May score a few goals this season and have a few off days as well but most of the young guys will benefit from his experience WATP.



29 Dec 2015 17:59:24
11 the best, I think miller is helping currant with the youngster, so the 12 month extension was worth it IMO, though I still believe miller should on the bench and brought on for the last 30 minuets.



29 Dec 2015 00:37:04
think we should give the young guys a chance Thompson, hardie, lyon, walsh and andy murdoch who would fill in that dm role.



29 Dec 2015 12:36:37
and don't forget Gasparotto too. He must surely be ready now to give him the chance to show what he's made of?



29 Dec 2015 13:08:59
Hardie and Thompson and a few others you mentioned will get their chance, I know mw has very high hopes for several under 20 and under 17 players, we have a lot of very interesting prospects at Murray park just now which we should see in the next 3 or 4 yrs.



29 Dec 2015 13:57:55
Tp9 I agree with that I'm all for younger players getting there chance as I see that as the most important way for us as a club moving forward but it needs to be balanced. with some experienced players too so hopefully training with the first team makes prospects from u17s / u20s Hungary and ready to make the most of there chance when durranty weir and the gaffer think there ready.



28 Dec 2015 23:22:19
Think we should be looking at bringing in Osman Sow in jan contract running out and John soutter who is one of best young players in Scotland and can play cb rb and cdm.
