di you think ally will do away with the youth now he can get a better class of player in now

Let's hope he's not that stupid. McLeod in a few years time will be better than anyone we have currently

No, there will be no more important player next season than Lewis McLeod. he's the new Steve Davis.

He will bin the youth in a heart beat

01 Jun 2013 10:33:18
Poor Lewis eh, so he's good enough to get you through the leagues then he's punted because he's not worth the wages, just like Steve Davis.

Do you think the good folks on here and elsewhere would be happy if the youth gave the same performances as they did in SFL3?

I guarantee it would be Ally's head they would be calling for

We have decent young players, key word being decent, not great, not exceptional, just decent

I'd ask everyone moaning about youth players to make up their minds about what exactly they want from the team and the manager

It's either a team of youngsters or humping the rest of the division on a weekly basis, you can't have both, no matter how much you complain

The new steve davis haha aye because the old one was fantastic and he's setting the heather on fire down south another media myth.

Nobody wants another steven Davis, was a good player but inconsistent. McLeod is a different breed from Davis with bags of potential. Take your pessimism elsewhere, too much of it on this site.

@6 who really cares what he's doing down south, he was a cracking wee player for us, was part of a side that got to a uefa cup final and won 3 in a row.

Davis has been playing very well for sfc since xmas. Can more than hold his own in epl. he's found his level. Bottom half of epl standard. Which is about 2 divisions above SPL.

Despite the fact that we're all experts on this site, no one here knows class and ability better than McCoist and Durrant. Ally gave the youth every chance possible and some took it, some didn't. He'll stand by those that shone. For me the two stand outs were McLeod and Mitchell. Who can blame the manager if he ditches some? Sir Alex wouldn't have lasted two seasons at Manchester United if he'd relied on his youth team.

@10: you don't win anything with kids, eh? lol

You have to have a blend of experience and youth, and Mcleod is good enough to be included in the starting 11.

N11 we won the division we played in with kids

01 Jun 2013 23:52:56
Aye murdo's not as fast as he used to be but he'd defo hold down a first team spot going by last seasons showings.

02 Jun 2013 07:12:06
@13: never heard that infamous Alan Hansen quote? Anyway, check the ages of last season's team - not many kids in there.

N15 it was still won with kids doesn't matter how many my typewas mainlyfor n11

Will Littte get a starting position next season with Clark and daly signed.

No don't think so.

Theres a little chance

We'll see Daly in defense more than attack so Andy Little will keep his place

now that Rangers seem to be moving on
here, s one. some where to have a drink before the game
some where that's near the park and some where that ain't full tae the gunnels
come on Rangers give us some thing better than milling round the stadium with an hour to go

I think you have been on the drink les
The pubs are all busy due to the great number of loyal bears who continue to follow follow, don't think the club can do anything about that
You could splash out for club 72 tkts

The crystal palace in town ain't bad, and only out a fiver in a taxi for the 14. 55 dash to your seat!

Rangers moving on? Where to the EPL? The champions league? The scrap yard? The courts? Companies house administration dept?

Greens admission that Whytes solicitors 300 page dossier will keep the club in court for over ten years is hardly moving on.

There can be no moving on until officially signed off accounts are made public, and no season tickets until AFTER the accounts.

Just have a drink in town then get subway over

31 May 2013 14:43:53
its usually juvenile season ticket holders that are picked at random mate.

31 May 2013 14:27:58
Novikovas
Barr
Taouil
Grainger
Smith
Zaliukas

All left hearts, opportunity?

From that list i'd take novikovas and barr. one no nonesense defender who would cruise the lower leagues and one winger that never fully made it in SPl thro inconsistency however is still reasonably young.

Del

Barr or Zaliukas to play alongside McCulloch at the back that's if Goian and Boca move on.

So pissed off with the farce coming out of Ibrox, Whyte and green have no links to Sevco Scotland, off course they don't, but they certainly had links to sevco 5088 who where giving preferred bidder status, Green was never giving preferred bidder status, he was taken by the hand to the negotiating table by Whyte for Whyte and then saw a opportunity to grab the Club for himself, he shafted the man that was feeding him, remember when they purchased the club they struggled to get the money together, he just like whyte are chancers looking for a quick buck not caring who they stamp on, don't think for one minute this is over with, other investigations will reveal the real truth by looking in the right places, I hope Both Venture Capitalist's and D&P will get what they deserve, F&&king Jailed. Hugh & Dave

Think I remember D&P being cleared by their ombudsman?
The Pinsent Mason investigation was only to establish the non link of CW to Rangers.
If Whyte wants to take CG and IA to court that's fine.
The worst case scenario I see is the club gets put up for sale again, new investors? New Buyer? Step forward "The fans"? Dave King?
Tht's how I see it anyway. I'm no expert in corporate law, but thinking logically, if "Rangers" did nothing wrong, and individual spivs did, then we may get rid of them. If they didn't, then onwards and upwards.

P. O. B.

Whyte will be going to jail soon and that will be the end of the matter

The PM investigation established no link between and Sevco 5088 but not Sevco Scotland. In short, a fudge. What's on that?

Greg Wylde has left Bolton after negotiating his release. Would love to see him back at gers

Id love to see him cross a ball, boy had pace to burn but no end product, I think mckay will turn out a better player in the long run if nutured correctly and with stevie smith signed it looks like wallace is being pushed into left wing. No need for wylde, aird and mckay have shown enough promise to be back up for the left hand side.

No way, he was one of the first rats to desert the ship, let him see he shouldn't have left rangers. w. a. t. p. billy the bear

Did the club not move him on to save money in the Jan transfer window? How is that deserting a sinking ship?

Sure we signed Stevie Smith today. Money is tight lads let's just take it a bit at at time please.

@3 no. He negotiated his own release. It was amicable with duff and Phelps. It was for his own ends not ours.

He agreed to cancel his contract and leave.

Club didn't move him in january. He left in february as soon as admin was announced. He asked to leave

He moved to save the club wages. He offered to play for free but his father was concerned for his mental state being a young man. The boy deserves a second bite.

He would be one of the last players I would have back at Ibrox. Overrated ( by himself) selfish turncoat if ever I saw one, you are not welcome back

31 May 2013 17:52:25
the boy offered to play for free selfish omg get a grip don't think u would do that

You are wrong, 99% of true Rangers supporters WOULD play for free. At a time when we needed loyalty all he could think about was himself. So best go away Greg as you are not a Rangers supporter and stop pretending to be one by coming on here and typing your nonsense.

Totally agree good post

@11: would they play for free if they had a family to look after? Would you?

The answer is YES, any true Rangers fan would play for free, and they would get a paying job in the evening to support their family. You are obviously not a Gers fan so you do not understand the passion we have for our club. I suspect you are from the other side of the city, which would explain your lack of understanding of what it means to play for the best and most successful club in the world.

02 Jun 2013 07:24:48
@14: you suspect incorrectly but you're obviously one of those fans who assumes anyone who says something you disagree with is a Celtic fan - how juvenile.

I'm sure your family would be ecstatic that you were playing for nothing when the club was handing out very generous contracts to others. Passion obviously trumps common and fiscal sense in your world lol

Its good to see our new non executive chairman in the papers today spouting how he will not be a pushover in the boardroom. Its about time Walter and Ally told us important information like who owns the assets, how much money we have left and get rid of everyone of the shocking signings Ally made last summer except Templeton and Bocanegra and Goian need to leave aswell as we are running at a loss without signing every freebie under the sun and thinking we will stand for that. We are in the second division for gods sake get a grip and stop signing duds on thousands of pound a week. when we don't need them for a part time league.

What if we sign div 2 players and not get promotion? We need instant promotion each year. Bit like city or Chelsea a few years back. You have to spend to ensure you reach the goal. It's all about getting to the top. Nothings changed.

I agree with you 100% Rab, we need clarity and honesty from Smith and McCoist as an ever growing number of us are growing disillusioned with the whole set up. Not one of Allys bargain basement free agents have been even half decent, some we hardly saw if at all, Templeton and Shiels were the only proven players, hopefully Clark will do well for us, but Daly at 30 with his knee problems could be another waste of wages, it seems like a clamour to get "bodies in" again rather than buying players for the first team, I realise there are financial constraints, but surely he should be signing decent defenders not numerous strikers and central midfielders.

31 May 2013 09:55:55
Guys forget about what's happening in the background, its the team we follow follow! Signings so far are good and the football will be much more pleasing on the eye (he says optimistically). Its small steps. I love a beer or 2 and idgaf who the executive or non executive chairman is for tennents or what the accounts show at year end, its the product I enjoy. back your team and be a true support, I can't believe half of the stuff written in here about not buying a ST, that's not a supporter in my eyes. Rangers will rise again and we are needed more than ever!

It's not really up to us to force the board to do one thing or the other. If you're a fan then you need to be there for better or worse, sickness and health.

Love this attitude poster we support the Gers through better or worse. let's get behind the team and show the world just why we are the best supporters in the world. Cannot wait for next season.

@OP and 1. ) I believe I said something similar last week and got shot down in flames guys. Prepare to be given pelters for supporting your club in your own way.

I believe if you are happy with what you are paying for then buy a season ticket, if not, don't. Like you said above OP, if you didn't like Tennents I don't think you would buy it but you're not going to go shouting at the board of Tennents and demand to know who owns this or that or where your money is going.

Maybe if they sold you a sh*t pint you would lol

Left back Steve smith is back at Rangers.

31 May 2013 07:15:12
Going to grab new season books for me and my young son. Anyone make any suggestions for seating with a youngster? Don't want it too rowdy but I'd rather listen to the radio than go to the clubdeck

Main stand SW3 or SW4.
Close enough to the UBS and BO to benifit from the atmosphere they create but no right in it

31 May 2013 01:17:29
I know its unlikely, but I'd like to see Brown brought in as assistant to Ally to get the passion back in to the team. Ok he probs wouldn't come with Green still on the seen, but I rekon he could make a differemce where we are right now. He wouldn't stand on ceramony and wouldn't put up with sub standard performances. LB

Bomber Brown owes rangers nothing he got laughed at by 99% of fans when he questioned Charles green.

Dont know if any of you coming to hillsborough for the friendly, july 24th, but if you are jubilee club landlord is a season ticket holder at ibrox food put on etc, have a good day am on mornings so will be at game, also rhys mcabe is 21 on same day.

I must have been in that 1% that wasn't laughing then! Mind you, Green seems to have mustered quite a few laughs after that. unfortunately it was our opposition that were wetting themselves! Still, my point, that kind of character and drive would do our team no harm at all right now! LB
