Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


03 Feb 2015 20:55:24
As we all know by now we've signed 5 players from newcastle on loan until the end of the season ie. haris vuckic, gael bigirimana, shane ferguson, remie streete & kevin mbabu, I rate vuckic, bigirimana & ferguson highly and personally think they'll walk into our starting 11, to your good self ed & all the other bears which one of the 5 do you think will make the biggest impact at ibrox?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

04 Feb 2015 10:02:13
As you rate them highly & think they will walk straight into the team, were have you seen them play, because as I understand it they've had limited first team experience and been out on loans to clubs such as port vale so unless u follow u21 football or lower div down south its hard to see how u rate them, personally I've never heard of them sir.

Agree0 Disagree0

2 of them are internationals, haris, Gael and Shane have played in the pl and Europa cup haris also played for Cardiff on championship for a season

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 20:41:47
Wouldn't mind asking Harry redknapp if he fancied a season in the ibrox dugout next season if we make it up. That is after knee surgery just to ease him back in to the game thots guys?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

03 Feb 2015 21:52:50
I reckon Ferguson will have the greatest impact, I think Vukcic will also impress.

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldn't mind him, but we all know it won't happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 22:33:22
Dodgy knees or not, Harry is well known for his reluctance to move far from his south coast home and family. There is absolutely no chance of this ever happening.
Plus, as a Pompey supporter I'm all to aware of the impact his exuberant overspending had on the club and it's eventual collapse. What followed was years of chancers and crooks, along with numerous baggage that hinted at some of Harry's less than kosher dealings.
If all this wasn't enough Harry also told fans how much he loved the club and had no intention of going anywhere. He then promptly left the club to join SOUTHAMPTON!!
To be fair, he did then get them relegated before returning to Pompey LOL :0)
Seriously though, not for me although it'll never happen anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's hardly easing him back into the game by coming to Rangers.
ally looked normal when he joined rangers and it drained him of all life by the end!
imagine what Harry would look like after managing rangers!!

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Feb 2015 02:23:58
@4 A melted candle springs to mind

We would be better with bloody Rosie! (I think that's his dogs name lol) old Harry got lucky at spurs

Anyone got any detail as to why Norwich let
Lafferty go out on loan. ?got mate in Norwich who said he's been OK last couple of games. surely not up to his wimmin chasing again?.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

03 Feb 2015 20:32:28
He might have been OK lately,but probably because he's a pure coo.

Agree0 Disagree0

1 goal in 20 games might have something to do with it

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 21:46:04
Think I read that he's scored 1 in 20

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 22:35:14
Maybe because he's pash and the only thing bigger than his lack of goals is his ego.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think lafferty only plays well when he is looking for a new contract, or a move from the club he plays for.

Agree0 Disagree0

Coz he is a big useless tottie and he is absolutely gash!!

Agree0 Disagree0

They have an abundance of strikers and Neil wanted andrue needed funds

I hear that the co- founder of the sons of struth was arrested Sunday for sectarian or bigoted offences, there's enough off- field embaresment at present & we can do without loud mouthed fools who don't represent me!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I am giving Rangers 1st proxy with my shares but I am so worn down with all of this I'll clutch at almost anything so if these young guys can give us a lift on the park I welcome their arrival. I would suggest however the chance of this late infusion working is very slim while "I don't want to be here Kenny" remains in charge. If we can't afford to bring someone else in give Jukebox a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Oldguy I think Durie has got a more apologetic look on his dial than McDowall. Saying that, I'd rather Durie implemented his tactics etc on the team. McDowall has

Agree0 Disagree0

I remember a post on here saying durrant has more knowledge then any of the people trying to manage our team, the last I looked the unders were 4 nothing up at hearts, with durrant in charge, why not give him the chance, Ffs everybody else has had a shot, so why not.

03 Feb 2015 18:21:32
we are paying wages for these loans and anytime as long as both clubs agree the wages percentage can be put up or down or terminated so since ashley controls both clubs no doubt wee will get the rotten side of the deal to top it off 2 off the 5 players are injured between 3-5 weeks

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Correct anything that Ashley or the dunderheeds on that board do, it to there own financial gain, roll on egm

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 20:05:41
Which 2 are injured mate?I've been looking can't find anything.

Agree0 Disagree0

No club gets players n on loan and does not pay somethng for them good god have some common sense

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 22:27:13
Bigwull it's the the point it's ashley ripping us off again mate making us pay 100 percent wages for 2 players that are injured these guys ain't on cheap wages ment be streamline the club loyal staff payed of while we borrow money then gave it back to ashley for these loans win win for him Ferguson is ment be one players sure other one is streete or other defender

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 17:38:04
you guys JUST don't GET IT

bitching now because the loanees weren't signed BEFORE the old firm game?????

03 Feb 2015 19:50:39
u got question these deals mate two players are injured and wee pay there wages the where courted about England an no one wanted them so no doubt we will be paying full wages and why after celtic match he is one for you that mite explain why they didn't want us to get threw we would have to pay the players bonuses then more if we one the final

Agree0 Disagree0

We used to say celtic were paranoid when u read some posts if the lord god turned up and said u can have lionel messi for a year they would look a for a hidden agenda

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 22:40:45
BIGWULL- surely you're aware of the saying "if it seems too good to be true it probably is"?
It's not paranoia mate, just folk exercising caution based on past experience.

Ive just read the story about the young ten year old Rangers fan who was hit by a bottle and had three teeth knocked out while on his way with his dad to his first old firm game, and the Celtic fan who has set up a donation page for him. In days gone by I've sung the songs and I have hated Celtic, but I have to take my hat off to their supporter for what he is doing, it is a wake up call for me, after all its only a game, an incident like that will probably put that young kid off going to football again, I really hope it doesn't.
On the football side of things I'm happy Rangers have signed the lads from Newcastle, but I also think it takes another bit of our identity away. For the first time ever I don't really recognise Rangers anymore, its not the once proud club it used to be, I pray with all my heart we get it back but I have my doubts, I know lads who were diehard Rangers fans but they are just not interested anymore. I can see Rangers losing a future generation of fans if this shambles continues much longer.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just goes to show that most people on both sides just love their team and are decent chaps. Shame we spend our time and energy talking about the other sort.

The Tims seem keen to out the perp, so let's see if they can manage it.

Agree0 Disagree0

The biggest culprits for taking our identity away were the imposters that took to the field on Sunday. Most of the performances were disgraceful and these players aren't fit to wear the jersey. I'm glad those players from Newcastle have come in and I would play all 5 right away. Only issue is which 5 do you leave out?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 17:34:44
Well said Sir. Majority of the fans on both sides are decent people who are let down by a minority of arseholes who have held both clubs back. I really hope your wrong about gers never being the same again but Sunday was different and didn't have that magical feel about it. celtic are worse there's no doubt we have a symbiotic relationship anyone who denies that are only lying to themselves

Agree0 Disagree0

Stewie I agree mate but remember who signed them. he's the biggest imposter!

Agree0 Disagree0

It's a really great gesture from the Celtic fan. Along with the money donated by Celtic for the Ricksen testimonial, it helps put the football side of things in perspective. It's just a game!

As for our recent delivery from sports direct I'd like to see.

Bigirimana for Law
Vuckic for Aird
Streete for McCulloch
Mbabu for Foster
Ferguson for Smith
Monty Magpie for Ian Black

I'd also like to wish Newcastle Utd all the best for the rest of the season, if they can win their 2 games in hand, then just maybe they can catch Hearts.

Agree0 Disagree0

@4
Couldn't agree more mate this guy is as responsible as anyone for the shambles that was Sunday's performance. Maybe now the pro Ally brigade will realise that this man has done some serious damage to the club and this is his legacy

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 19:08:01
Royal blue what has bringing 5 lads from Newcastle got to do with are identity? We have never brought are own kids through to the first team, so bringing the 5 in doesn't make any difference to who we are! I'd be more worried if them imposters from Sunday was what are identity was all about

Agree0 Disagree0

Linger
That's a bit harsh on Monty Magpie lol

These new signings give us slight hope for the second half of the season. The one thing we lacked most during the old firm game was options and this relieves that situation a little. So I feel this does give us a silver of hope for the back end of the season.

But it is also all extremely confusing. These signings have obviously only occurred because of mike ashley, So what are his motives?

If he was genuinely interested in advancing this club and had a passion for us to be promoted and do well, then why not sort out these loans as soon as the transfer window opened? let's not forget that he sold our biggest asset and brightest prospect cheaply a couple of weeks before the biggest game we have had for the last three years. If Ashley actually cared one ounce about this club, he would have at least brought these players in before the old firm game so we had a chance to do ourselves proud.

Has he simply been spending the whole of this month researching and looking into ways to block this EGM? Has he only decided to loan us these players as a last ditch and desperate attempt to favour support with a fan base he must perceive as easily manipulated and gullible?

There are far too many logical questions that need to be asked and need to be discussed before any Rangers fan with half a brain in his head can sit easy with these loan signings.

What happens if he loses the EGM and gets driven out of the club? Do we keep the players? How much is it costing the club to acquire them for the duration of the loan? The only way to prove anything would be to reveal the clauses in their contracts but this highly secretive and devious will never give us an inch.

I am so angry with this board and have so little respect for them that I honestly think this is little more than a bribe to us fans in order for him to sway our votes in the EGM.

I beg of you not to be fooled by this snake pushing an apple in our direction.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

03 Feb 2015 13:42:04
Look at it this way, Mike Ashley and the board knew that Celtic would beat us on Sunday there. This decision to give us 5 loan signings has been carefully orchestrated so it now looks like he cares about the club and our future.

These loans were not offered prior to this because it would just have been seen as normal transfer activity. not reactive activity to the outcome of Sundays match.

What better way to get the support to switch their focus away from boardroom dealings and meanwhile show the shareholders (the very ones you are trying to sway ahead of the EGM to vote for you) that you are the future of the club. In short billy big baws!

This is all deception and yet another master play by Ashley. don't believe it and don't trust it and whatever you do don't put it down to Ashley caring about Rangers.

Agree0 Disagree0

It gives MA more leverage. If the EGM goes south, so do our new players.

Still so sure the EGM is going to fix things?

Agree0 Disagree0

I would believe that Rangers are paying the players ( With MA money ) and that they would be recalled if MA were to fail at the EGM. In this case I would suspect he has given a massive cancellation charge to the loan deal. Leaving King with the option to keep paying them which means DK has to cash out more on the wages or give them back and pay Ashley the cancellation fee. Isn't he a clever boy.

Agree0 Disagree0

@2

Absolutely sure. As long as the current crooks are removed, we can create a base and slowly and thoroughly re-establish the club. If EGM is unsuccessful, I will do a Duncan Bannatyne and declare that ' I am out' for good.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope you are right, but I don't see where we will get the cash to pay off MA. Even if we can settle the loans, he has a large chunk of our ritual and other business. He's not going to be seen to be bested, he'll want a fortune.

Agree0 Disagree0

We needed new players, we got new players, some are good, others ave never seen yet, they won't be getting the world at Newcastle or rangers either, who makes this stuff up we are paying Newcastle to play them per game total beeswax

Agree0 Disagree0

Disinterested expat, if and when Ashley's loans are paid back then everything he loaned against comes back to the guys that pay the loan as that is what the loans were held against.

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely there can't be any of you on here with even the slightest doubt about Ashleys intensions for our Rangers?Are people really that dim they can't see through this latest gesture to curry favour with fans and shareholders alike?

The guy is a complete egotistical maniac who clearly believes he can bulldoze his way in the front door of Ibrox. F the supporters F the sfa and Anyone else who dares stand in my way.

It's as plain as the nose on your face this character MUST be resisted with everything we've got left. Get behind Park, king, and the others to repel this parasite and don't let these token signings sway your judgement.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cicsy. Well in mate here here, in agreement with every part of your post, get them out.

Agree0 Disagree0

George, yes the loan collateral goes back, but Ashley owns a lot of us outside of what his loans are secured on. 75% of the retail (plus club buyback of unsold stock), our badge and future shirt sponsorship. I don't believe these are secured, he already owns them.

. also I'm sure these new players are so he can burn through the 5 / 10 million so we get skint again before the EGM and have to either forfeit the security or borrow some more, with more given away to him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Disinterested expat, the other 26p/c he now has on the shirt deals were part of the last loan agreement, so once that's paid his shirt money PC goes back to 49pc

Agree0 Disagree0

That's something at least. As long as we don't default before then.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 12:37:50
Call me cynical if you like but my take on the latest circus event is that it's a move to make it as difficult as possible for King & 3 Bears if the succeed with the proposed EGM. 5 players in on loan means extra outgoings by way of extra wages with Gers picking up the tab for the 5 at anything between 50 & 70 per cent of their salaries which could be in the top bracket of those currently on the payroll and by not selling any players in the transfer window those outgoings increase substantially. It would then transpire that a new board would have a possible cash-flow problem and find it difficult to pay off the loans secured by Ashley. Remember these 5 players are only on a short term loan an I suggest will cost a pretty packet. If Ashley turns up trumps at any EGM he can then re-negotiate the loan terms as to suit himself. Worrying times ahead.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The whole situation stinks. The man who has just provided us with a crisis loan on his favourable terms has now decided to loan us five players who will I would guess be getting paid at least partly from that crisis loan.

Mike wins and then wins again.

Utterly disrespectful too to Kenny MacDowall although you could argue he does not deserve too much respect.

Fat Mike has just stuck his middle finger up to the SFA who really should not allow this deal to go through unless they actually want to argue that Ashley is not in control of the club against their rules.

Campbell Ogilvie a great football administrator? What a joke.

Agree0 Disagree0

Naz yes he has not only gave our club the loan, he is now telling his board how to spend the money.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 11:30:12
Can't see current manager having authority to pick team, especially withe 5 toon boys here. No way he is going to allow youth unless someone else is running the show. From a business point of view it gives Arsley the control from a footballing point of view it might work in the clubs favour. Now the supporters might end up between a rock and a hard place. Accept arsley and promotion or try and get him out. interesting times ahead.

People have got to remember what is in play here and not to let the wool be pulled over their eyes. This is a PR stunt by Ashley to let the fans see what a caring guy he is! Its also designed to show the shareholders that he has the best interest of the team at heart. don't believe it and don't be fooled.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 11:11:43
This is a ploy Charles and his mates have done before Do not be fooled by these people once again united we will stand united we will conquer do not forgot we are glasgow rangers without us they are nothing

Agree0 Disagree0

Alrus, you are correct. It is also good business to at least keep the club within touching distance of the SPL and the cash he can generate from that. Trying to protect his assets as he can see the current lot are as talented as the Kardashians and the managers is as bright as a solar eclipse.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 11:50:43
Roll on EGM get the SPIVS out, they think we are going buy in to their PR stunt and flock to ibrox in our thousands.

He might be that bright but fair dues I bet he takes home more then you and me :-)

03 Feb 2015 12:21:44
@3 The cash he can generate from keeping us in touching distance of SPL?
What cash would that be mate?The fat ride can make more money from selling Lee Cooper denims over a 2 day period.
I just pray this EGM goes ahead but I've got a bad feeling about it TBH,this is it for me if we can't get rid of this mob on the board.

Agree0 Disagree0

There hoping the fans are going to rush back to ibrox to see this new vitalised side, a few thousand on the gate, give them nothing as do believe we, ll have them out at the egm.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dougdunlop and all posts above, I agree with all, we have got to stop going to ibrox, thus stop feeding there habit, habit of counting our money eh.

Agree0 Disagree0

N5 hh joe, yes he earnes money we could only dream of, but when I signed for my pay pack, I knew it was earned legally, I signed for pay known I was not shafting anybody for there hard earned, I was able to sleep at night, maybe through being exhausted, but no guilt on my part,

Gkk I was being cynical. Six that beyond your thinking.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are you beinG IMPertinant?Just a bit a banter.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe the latest actions are a sign of things to come, perhaps Ashleys plan is for Rangers FC, to become a feeder club for Newcastle United.

Whilst at the moment one could argue at least we are getting someone. Is this really the way we want to go? and a sign of things to come under Ashley.

Could it be his plan all along is to use Rangers as the Feeder Club, not bothering if we win things or not, just like he does at Newcastle. Then take the youngster back to the Premiership and sell them on for Premiership prices. You will always pay more for a Premiership club player than you will for SPL player.

Remember this is the man that pocketed £122m whilst not paying his low paid workers what the y are due when he made them jobless. Guys like Mike Ashley always have an alliterative motive, but it always evolves around him making money, no one else but him.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm delighted Gers have the 5 Newcastle players on loan, and turned down bids for Law and Shields at the close of the transfer window. We need all the help going if we want to progress in the Scottish Cup and win the Championship, and before anyone has a go at me, I know we're 16 points behind Hearts, but we are Rangers, and never ever surrender, until it's mathematically impossible in overtaking whoever!

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm hearing this story a lot now that peter beardsley will be announced as the new rangers head coach shortly on a deal until the end of the season, gordon durie will stay and work along side beardsley with kenny mcdowall being put on gardening leave just like mccoist, your thoughts 'gers fans & what do you think yourself ed?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - Peebo is highly rated as a youth coach, not sure what he would be like as a head coach though. Lovely guy though.}

Makes sense and could only be an improvement. I hope a deal will be struck to-day. McDowall looks totally out of his depth and his interim appointment was wrong from day one, then made even worse by retaining him after his resignation.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 10:09:09
With mcdowall in charge the 5 guys from Newcastle probably won't get a game! Especially the 2 defenders he won't drop the the atrocious mcculloch, the old pals act still exists at rangers unfortunately

Agree0 Disagree0

Well its good to have the five players but it will make no difference unless we get coach to take the helm I still say hearts can be caught but not with macdowall n charge

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 07:15:34
From what I've seen vuckic and Ferguson are good, bigirimana gets rave reviews must be better than Miller law aird and co.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Mbabu is a good one and will be a Swiss International soon
Streete was a class act as a youngster but lost his way
Shane Ferguson will have surely told them about RFC in detail

The others I don't know about but all will be an improvement I am sure

Agree0 Disagree0

It's hard to imagine the boy that can play right back being worse than Foster, the boy who plays wide left being worse than Smith, the 2 midfielders must surely be better than Law, Black or Hutton and the centre half being better than McCulloch

Agree0 Disagree0

Stewie of the players you've mentioned I think law could be good enough, with the right players round about him mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 02:01:39
Hello Fellow Gers. this my first post. have been reading for a while and time to start the odd post now and again with what can hopefully be a new dawn approaching if the GM is to be announced as I believe in king & the 3 bears for our future as a club to support and not become a cash cow for sports direct with all these loan merchandise requirements etc. yeah its always good tp see new players come in but Newcastle rejects. come on now its Ashley influence on the board and now on the pitch, as these players will have been vetted and coached to cause even more mayhem for the players that are coaching staff.
my opinion so reply and I wish to see if anybody has the same opinion or if just been a sceptic. anyway keep the fight and one day we will be back and better than what we where.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Welcome to the forum nelly youll fit right in on here with your negative views. Newcastle rejects? We're do you get that from? Did Wolfsburg sign at Chelsea reject or did the Tim's buy two Dundee utd rejects? Let's see what they ve got first before we slag them off. And by the way I think the Tim's are trying to buy the league cup by denying utd their best players.

Agree0 Disagree0

If we ally was still in charge he would have loaned thses new guys back out, there too young & not his pals.

Agree0 Disagree0

". one day we will be back and better than what we where".
Negative views?
I really have to admire these optomistic guys when it is based, not on any facts, but on blind hope. Unless, of couse, the "what we were" refers to last Sunday and not 2011 or before (sorry, I had to correct the spelling. It comes with having been a teacher).
No team in Scotland is going to be better than they were in the past.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - no mate, no deadline on managers.}

03 Feb 2015 00:24:35
I think we need to welcome these 5 guys and wish them well for taking the risks of coming to us.
If we get our finances stabilised who knows what it may do for us having them. They seem to have reasonably good CV's

It may be Ashleys way of telling us to get shot of some of the dross!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If these loan player had came in years ago I would have seen the advantage of taking them. But why now after we get loans from

Agree0 Disagree0

Five new loan players on an already bulging squad that we can't afford to pay? I thought cut backs were on the cards hence why we need MA s loan? If this lot are free loans then good call. if they are costing us, which in essence means MA is paying himself from his own loans then time to shut up the shop. Even the most blinded would see that this farce can not go on,,,,, il wait until the actual loan deal written stuff comes out before making a judgement.
Come to think of it why did they not come before semi final if they that good? and just read one of them is injured and has been all season (Shane Ferguson) surely were not taking players who can't play??

Agree0 Disagree0

What risks have they taken in the move? Well maybe that they'll progress backwards in footballing terms, I suppose. I guess I've answered my own question there.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Feb 2015 00:01:01
So it's confirmed that rangers have brought in Gael Bigirimana, Shane Ferguson, Kevin Mbabu, Remie Streete and Haris Vuckic.

I am not sure how to react to it as I have mixed feelings.

Negative ones are:
1. it's linked to Ashley
2. Shouldn't we be looking to give our own youngsters a chance?
3. More wages, although I assume Ashley has got it so Newcastle pay all their wages

Positives:
1. Bringing in some new players to get the dross that we currently have.

I can see some reasoning behind it as it's just a case of getting through this season and trying to get thru via the playoffs. with the current squad I don't think we would beat hibs in the playoff, let alone the spl team we would face after it.

the players they have brought in seem to be in the correct positions:
Gael Bigirimana : hard tackling midfielder to replace Black.
Shane Ferguson : left winger to replace Smith or Aird
Kevin Mbabu : central defender or right back to replace foster
Remie Streete : central defender to replace mcculloch or mcgregor
Haris Vuckic : attacking midfielder to create some chances as our current midfield haven't created any chandes since Macleod left.

I think it's just a case of getting through the rest of the season then seeing what happens. Hope we get promoted then look at who will come in as manager and what players will leave and come in. major changes ahead.

If you think Newcastle are paying he wages for he you must be kidding.

We will be paying all or most of their wages on top of the wage bill we have now.

How many players do we now have on our wage bill?

these 5 are coming to play not sit on bench MA will tell Mcdowall to play them.

Not a bad thing if they are upto it but still means we will be paying out wages to he 5 not playing anymore.

I think it is a positive step in many ways but without knowing all the detail it is hard to give a true assessment. I think we may be paying only a percentage of their wages, if anything, or maybe Ashley is picking up the tab and adding it to his loan. No doubt he'll have done it to suit himself. Also, some of our duds that will miss out in game time are paid a basic wage plus money when they play.
My biggest concern is that the new imports may just end up like the current squad, tactically inept and looking like a bunch of misfits. To get anything out of them, and even some of the current squad they need coached and we are most definitely lacking in that area.

At least they'll be s**t hot at head tennis by the time they leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gkk lol, maybe at the training ground they will be kicking the ball at Ashley's arse eh, most would strike a hit, cause his arse is fat enough eh,

That's the loan players confirmed what is with all defenders we need goal scorers and creative spark Ferguson Vuckic are worth a punt rest not sure anyway that's that done more important things on agenda now like getting ashley and his men out

Disagree craigs, We need a strong backbone, a solid midfield with some creation and then the potential goal threat we anticipated may flourish.
Again it will be influenced by the formation that is chosen, tactics and how they are being coached.

Billyb look at this way we could shore up our defence by playing Robinson in goal untill bell fit central defence magergor and zalkius also could have got bougie in to play for free he could have slotted in place of foster at right back or we could play him in centre and faure at right back also gasporrta should be near team that would shore up defence then with Templeton right mid Ferguson left mid Vuckic and birgiramana in centre mid Vuckic more advanced still leaves us with no striker part from what we have got already so who do we go with up front personaly I would go give Gallagher and Ryan hardie a chance for a few games if not boyd and Clark miller is past it daly to slow we need get ball on ground and start playing long balls not working

Agree0 Disagree0

Craigs, I don't disagree with your team except for the facts that Zaliukas has an obvious fitness problem and Gasparatto is loaned out to the end of the season.
Again I say, if the forwards we have get the ball on the deck and can't do the job get shot of them. Until we operate as a footballing unit and give them that opportunity then it is not fair to judge them.

Surely the SFA must take action against Ashley's blatant interference in Rangers' affairs with loans, installed directors and now loan players. If this means Rangers get docked more points and miss out on promotion, then good. If it means we can get King and the 3 Bears in charge and it takes us another season to get back to the SPL that is even better. I can't believe Ashley is getting away with his financial bullying. Roll on the EGM and boot out this evil, nasty and corrupt Board.

What these signings prove without question is the scant disregard Ashley has for the governing body of our game.

He has simply treated them with the same contempt as he has us. I personally couldn't give a flying feck what division we play in next season as long as this egotistical maniac is no longer in control of our club. Stick your money and your loan players. NOT WANTED HERE!!!!!!
