Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


29 Nov 2017 23:18:49
Terrific result tonight, improvements still to be made but much more like it! Hopefully the penny has dropped with regards the formation, we looked much sharper with no wingers and another couple of men in the middle to protect when the fullbacks go forward. Will be a different challenge on Sunday and they will be up for it, we have to keep our discipline.

Big McCrorie impresses more and more each week, he will make mistakes as all young players do but he is the first name on the team sheet for Sunday.



29 Nov 2017 23:36:58
Played really well and we must build on it! Think that the formation we played suited us and the only thing I could possibly see happening is that when Dorrans is fit, he goes into Jacks position and Jack plays CDM with McCrorie playing beside Alves.



30 Nov 2017 00:47:28
Above post is only if trying to accommodate Dorrans! Thought McCrorie was excellent especially for an 18yt Old!
Do think we play better with a CDM and we ditch the 4-4-2 plus if Morelos is fit have him up with Pena nxt week.



30 Nov 2017 00:55:36
mccrorie was exceptional for his age and experience, that ball for the offside goal was proper football! i'd like keeping him in the holding role, then a midfield three in front. we lose when we are overrun in the middle of the park and our full backs strength is attacking. so let them provide the width, have mccrorie in front of the back line then a solid midfield three between jack/ dorrans/ holt/ pena etc. that set up with two up top and i think we will look solid.



30 Nov 2017 08:44:21
Better just replacing Holt with dorrans he's decent but I still think he's a weak link in midfield



29 Nov 2017 23:17:47
Once again Pena proves he should be played up front. Somehow he manages to find himself in acres of space unmarked. Finishes brilliantly for the goal.

Holt brilliant tonight. His running and link up play was refreshing to watch. If he can play like that every week he'l not be far away from a Scotland cap.

Alves and Wilson formed a very strong partnership at the back. Tav impressive.

If this team can perform for 90 minutes like that consistently, we're onto a winner.



29 Nov 2017 23:43:53
Agreed mate.

The formation worked very well and I think we should continue that way because it seems to suit the players we have.

Pena is one of those players that is not industrious but his movement and very slight things like wee dinked passes, even the way he finished tonight, he knew exactly where the goal was and basically knew he had scored before the ball reached him.

Another major difference I thought for us tonight was the aggression in our play, everybody squeezed Aberdeen tight and gave them no time, why can't we get that all the time from them? We took a few yellows for it but i'd much rather have a few more yellows if it means more points on the board.



30 Nov 2017 01:32:33
Really hope Murty does bench Miller as I do think Morelos will be fit as he was close for the 1st game.



29 Nov 2017 22:17:02
Hi, am new to the sight and was wondering if anybody could help. I have a 9 in a row rangers signed framed shirt. It's the 97 away shirt, every player who played that season (even Andy dibble) has signed it. Walter Smith refused to sign it until 9 in a row was officially won, he then signed 9 in a row championship team Walter Smith. My dad bought it at auction in April 97. It's in my loft gathering dust and would be better with someone who would appreciate it. Does anybody know anyone who would be interested in making a offer?



29 Nov 2017 22:43:14
A will give you a fiver for it?



29 Nov 2017 22:52:30
Wee bit more than that mate.



30 Nov 2017 08:39:48
Contact the guy who owns The District Bar he buys up Rangers Memorabilia



30 Nov 2017 10:38:08
Will do, cheers



29 Nov 2017 22:02:27
Ok. can anyone tell me who that was playing against Aberdeen tonight and where the hell They’ve been because that was like night and day. absolutely no excuse from now on because if they can play like that tonight then they can play like that in every game



29 Nov 2017 22:08:15
Was the game tonight well done to team for put in a good performance for a change. hope it’s the same on Sunday but great 3 points



29 Nov 2017 23:51:38
I missed the game working nights now and i'm gutted I never got see it, I hope the players continue to work together and perform like this, murty is going to be a fantastic manager one day.



30 Nov 2017 02:44:29
Just wondering what I said that could be disagreed with there? Murty being a fantastic manager one day, i'm pretty sure he will be. From youth coach to first team manager at glasgow rangers twice now and is handling himself well.



30 Nov 2017 08:40:33
i think some folk just whack a disagree at certain posters sometimes mate regardless of the comment 😂 i gave you an agree there 👍 he is still very young in his managerial career and has lots of potential. the pressure cooker he is in the now will stand him in good stead longer term



29 Nov 2017 21:58:07
Great performance tonight. I really liked Ross McCrorie in the holding midfield role with Jack given a bit more freedom to get further forward. I've been Jacks biggest critic but thought he was excellent tonight.

One of the guys that sits near me is an estate agent and had said that Arthur Numan was moving back to Scotland. I know he won't be the manager but maybe a coaching role under McCleish or Van Bronckhorst.

Thoughts bears?



29 Nov 2017 23:29:49
Mcciness is gona be the manager



29 Nov 2017 21:53:38
I do like the professionalism and humility of Mr Murty when dealing with the media. Great team set up and performance tonight as well.
Well done to all.



29 Nov 2017 22:05:08
Yep me too. Was a very good performance tonight! The media will likely say the sheep didn't turn up but they were just out played from start to finish. Hopefully get another result on Sunday and a decent manager in start of the week and things will be looking up!



29 Nov 2017 22:38:44
good to watch, just home and happy, even Pena had his best game. there is a decent player in there. same with herrera belueve tgey both need game time. keep the faith. mcrorie was superb in the holding role.



29 Nov 2017 23:44:37
Yeah Pena is a Player and even tho not 100% fit I would from now on Play him in that position and if we get 45-60mins out of him then so be it as his fitness can only improve AND also his confidence!



29 Nov 2017 20:35:26
That’s the best I’ve seen rangers play this season I just hope they keep it up during the second half. how the hell can’t they play like that all the time



29 Nov 2017 21:39:08
Great stuff - wonder of Derek McInnes was planning ahead for his new job, or is actually just not very good tactically?



29 Nov 2017 21:41:41
Well, well, well, that was better. Not perfect but better.
Better attitude and hunger. Good first half (Aberdeen were Gash),
Slightly subdued second, they came into it a bit more.
Overall, more like it. Hope we get some good info tomorrow.
Onwards and upwards!



29 Nov 2017 22:23:47
Souness. . One good result and McInnes isn't good tactically. . Gez peace



30 Nov 2017 09:04:25
dont think its based just on last nignt though. a pretty high number of aberdeen fans saying how they are sick of bottling big games and a few asking if its time for a change!



29 Nov 2017 19:08:15
I can't believe that Windass and Miller start AGAIN.



29 Nov 2017 22:44:20
How do you feel about that now?



29 Nov 2017 17:50:18
Thoughts on tonights tactical approach bears? I'd reckon the sheep will play an attacking game and we can use that to our advantage if we break against them using candieas and windass pace! Key for me tonight is strong core to team! Like to see Murty play Wes tav mcrorie alves Wilson john midfield of candieas Jack barjonas holt with windass playing behind morelos! If morelos is out I'd replace him with Miller! Tav and john pushing on and candieas being aloud to switch flanks or play up closer to front man depending on how game is going.



29 Nov 2017 18:12:13
5.4.2 formation. Love it 😊



29 Nov 2017 18:21:24
Agreed Jzer, i've said before I think the players we have would work as a counter attacking team.

I hope the next manager we get in makes us heard to beat first and foremost. People may disagree because they want to see free flowing attacking football etc, however, we can;t even string 3 wins together so let's take things one step at a time.



29 Nov 2017 20:42:02
Was meant to be alves/ Wilson didn't know if he would make it 4411 formation



29 Nov 2017 17:27:15
Dave king will have to make a clear statement on where we are at the agm as to where we in getting a new manager it is the least the support deserve



29 Nov 2017 15:34:13
Allardyce agrees 18th month contract with Everton believed to be worth 9 million. After a phone call to goramsgloves it was confirmed to him that Rangers were looking elsewhere for a new manager so Big Sam decides to go to Goodison Park instead of Ibrox.



29 Nov 2017 17:25:20
9mill oor 18 month lol yip rangers were after him 25 irn bru bottles 3 day deal

Well we certainly can't compete there so the pulis bilic boas etc etc are well scrubbed off lol if only we had goramgloves crystal ball we cus c nxt who in frame mourhrino wenger



29 Nov 2017 12:43:25
AVB, deary me bears can we get with the programme here. There is absolutely nae danger we are getting him.

Also, I see Alan Brazil is saying we should bring back Mike Ashley and there actually some fans agreeing with him?

If there are are fans out there looking for Ashley back at our club then please don't come back to Ibrox. There are no words to describe how simple you must be to want that.

The current board are making an arse of the managerial situation, but it's astounding people are wanting him back in charge because of that. We are still paying for the mess he left before we paid him off.



29 Nov 2017 12:09:59
Every one of the 11 that starts tonight deserves our backing 100% for the full 90mins. Game is live on TV . Let's show what it means to be Rangers and forget about the board and manager situation, leave that for Thur!
Our team needs us to create an atmosphere and back them like never before. We need to be the 12th man and roar us on to victory, losing tonight could end our seasons hopes of finishing 2nd and the knock on effect is catastrophic!



29 Nov 2017 12:54:15
Scotty, the team have had unbelievable backing this season. The atmosphere at the start of the Hibs game was great me if the best I have witnessed in 40 years of attending games. The team need to give the fans back something tonight. No pulling out of tackles, no hiding, playing in your position and winning their personal battles. We also need to take our chances. As always I’m sure everyone wants them to do well at ibrox or wherever. Come on Rangers. It’s time to stand up and be counted.



29 Nov 2017 16:37:59
Sorry my typing is rubbish. Start of the Hibs game was one of the best. Ibrox was truest rocking for the first time in many a year but team fell away badly that day.



29 Nov 2017 11:37:19
Gio has stated he won’t be leavin, avb is another we’ve no chance of getting ands de Boer is probably out of our price range. People need to get real our next manager should be someone that can work with our squad get rid of what he dosnt like and take the squad to the level it should be at. All the Mangers would be looking to make big changes On a big budget. I think we should look for someone who can mix with the youth and has few year to build his team like Mcinnes Wright Ross or Sherwood



29 Nov 2017 10:37:42
Hopefully a big performance from the players tonight, they will have the support from us I’m sure and I don’t think Aberdeen are all that to be honest, thinking positively. 3-1 Rangers with Morelos back amongst the goals of fit! We need to be at them from kick off, could be a cracker!



29 Nov 2017 11:23:57
My biggest worry is if they score first then the crowd get on the teams back don't think we've enough character to get by that but we're due a performance of that there's no foubt



29 Nov 2017 10:08:07
AVB would be a dream ticket especially if he was teamed with Ray Wilkins. But financially I think we'd struggle unless the AGM in some way announced investment
There were rumours that Alastair Johnson was bringing north American investment to the table but that seems to have died down
A significant signing like these 2 maybe would sweeten the deal for a potential investment so here's hoping!



29 Nov 2017 13:17:48
the only thing johnson brings to the table is cheap patter, the guy talks crap



29 Nov 2017 09:47:58
AVB, De Boer and Van Bronckhorst. any of those three would be an excellent appointment and the only ones on the bookies list that excite me, financially not within our reach i'd say, King et al need to make a big statement to again appease us.



29 Nov 2017 09:05:50
Andre Villas Boas will come in. The board had to wait 5 weeks until Boas said he would not renew with Chinese club. Boas wants to involve Ray wilkins in some role, chelsea days Connection. Looking to take the the heat out of the AGM tomorrow. He believes he can get the best out of the Portuguese and Mexicans and take the club forward. let's see.



29 Nov 2017 09:33:16
Haha avb that's a classic. we can't afford the 800k compo fur mccinnes. sum unheard of numpty will get the job again. someone that's happy with no transfer budget. hopefully your right and we get avb but really canny see it lad



29 Nov 2017 09:36:29
Being a chelsea man i would prefer roberto di mateo



29 Nov 2017 09:37:18
AVB would be a good pic. hope its true but just can't see it.



29 Nov 2017 09:46:53
Chelsea days connection! Was Wilkins even at Chelsea when he was there? Don’t answer that because I already know 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 get your head out the clouds for gods sake eh! Did u see AVB salary in chinea? I’m sure pea brain Pedro will give his fellow Portuguese a glowing reference on all things sevco eh! The laughs just keep coming honestly 😂😂😂😂😂😂



29 Nov 2017 09:50:21
AVB? Come on! Even if it was true why would we want him any way? can't see how he would get the best out of the players we have now! Would like to see Ray in, in some capacity tho even if he does send me to sleep when he talks lol. Even at 70 Walter Smith would be the man i'd want, if he wanted it but at the same time think he's done enough for us in the past that he deserves to enjoy the rest of his days without the stress the managers job comes with. i'm getting impatient too but if they get this appointment right it will all be worth it in the end. Hopefully the board will be questioned tomorrow and we will get some answers, hopefully!



29 Nov 2017 09:59:42
AVB has resigned from Shanghai (Telegraph online) . Offered one year extension but turned it down. Says he wants to take an extended break from football and also quoted as saying he didn’t want to work in England again (was sounded out for Everton) . Doesn’t sound like he is getting on a plane to Glasgow anytime soon, but who knows! We’ve heard just about everything and everybody in the past 5 weeks.



29 Nov 2017 23:38:02
According to Sky Sports News tonight, AVB is going to do the Dakar Rally next! So def not getting on plane to Glasgow. Great show tonight - more of the same on Sunday please :-)



29 Nov 2017 08:29:32
The manager list is shrinking. Pardew to West Brom, aladyce everton, McInnes staying put, Moyes at West Ham, who knows who we will end up with.
