Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


03 Nov 2018 20:55:45
Not the best performance today but important we got the result, thought Ejaria was poor today too many touches fancy ineffective flicks and tricks and he needs to start showing some vision, thought Morelos and mcgregor were outstanding and pulled us through today but we can't keep relying on them, sometimes it was a painful watch a lot of players need to step up to the challenge, also Willie Collum! His performance today was awful anyway which is expected but that card for candeias is an absolute joke.



04 Nov 2018 06:54:49
Ejaria has went right off the boil, I don't know if it's just me butd he frustrates the life out me watching him. He's got so much talent and does some great stuff but a lot of times he seems to play likes it's a training game, want to turn players over and over and hold the ball too long. I was getting right frustrated yesterday at his performance.



03 Nov 2018 19:39:54
It was obvious today against a compact st mirren side who try and sit back against us that two wingers who re playing on there weak side are cutting in all the time to a wall of players. The formation cry’s out for them to take the ball to the by line and drag the opposition with them leaving space for our midfield to attack crosses. Ejaria try’s too much fancy stuff, slips over and goes side ways when playing against compact teams. These matches need a player with vision.
Is Davis the answer?



03 Nov 2018 20:34:31
in a word,

yes.



06 Nov 2018 18:09:00
We're not getting anywhere with constant crosses. there's no one in the box. Need more pass and go at the edge of the area through the middle then go out wide to create space.



06 Nov 2018 18:10:58
Haha, ejaria does fall down a lot. I thought he must be wearing his trainers out there today.



03 Nov 2018 18:42:14
Rangers played well candeias no idea what he was thinking but at least we got the 3 points.



04 Nov 2018 06:56:10
We definately didn't play well mate lol, if u had offered me a honking performance and a 2-0 win beforehand though I would have bit you hand off.



06 Nov 2018 18:06:53
Why did he get the 2nd yellow. Missed the incident, just seen the red coming out.



06 Nov 2018 18:07:51
What he was thinking? Every fan in that stadium including myself had no idea what the red card was for. Just saw a video on Facebook of incident and I still have no idea. Could sound like a celtic fan and talk about conspiracies but if I'm honest collum is just a terrible ref, easily the worst in scotland.



06 Nov 2018 18:08:27
Candeias did nothing wrong. Why can't you people wait until you actually see the incident before jumping all over our innocent player?



Fred

03 Nov 2018 17:49:56
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Fred



01 Nov 2018 06:41:53
To ED 0333, you say we need to give gerrard 18 months to bed his players in, are you having a laugh? A season and a half to learn how to beat Livingston away? We played against a manager who took someone elses team and completely turned them round last season then added his own players and managed to do things with them that we haven't managed for years. We all, on here, want him to do well but I thought we were getting a man that had tactics in his head ready to relay to the players not some kind of experiment that we HOPE does well, a season and a half? Away an bile yer heed.



{Ed0333's Note - so why employ the ‘experiment’ in the first place if you weren’t gonna give him time. I don’t see many world class coaches or in fact many quality coaches with tactical acumen banging your stadium doors down waiting to be hired. Correct me if I’m wrong but the last time you won the title was 7 years ago so your malaise is long term. So get over yourself lose the entitled attitude and appreciate your plight is not an overnight fix. You’ve had a plethora of loan signings which is not conducive to short term success. Maybe the guy isn’t any good at this management thing but surely he needs a little more time.

03 Nov 2018 17:20:03
I agree with you ed. We need to give the manager time to gel players and work out his best formation for all situations. If we keep changing managers every 9-12 months then we will achieve nothing.



{Ed0333's Note - I would have thought it was a common sense and elementary notion but clearly not. Also can you afford to keep paying managers and backroom staff off?

03 Nov 2018 17:38:10
It could take 3 or 4 transfers windows to actually get where we want to be. We are improving but it will take time. Even pep and the squillions of oil dollars didn't bring overnight success. This season is laying the foundations for next season and a more consistent campaign.



03 Nov 2018 17:42:37
Careful Ed, a lot of big words being used there. Poor Jyf won't have a scooby what you are on about.



03 Nov 2018 17:50:09
Ed - common sense will never prevail with some.



{Ed0333's Note - as my ex girlfriend used to say common sense ain’t that common

03 Nov 2018 17:50:36
Totally with you here ED. Gerrard will prove to be a very good choice as rangers manager IMHO. He most certainly needs at least this season, in his rebuilding process of rangers! Each transfer window, i fully expect gerrard to tweak and improve the first team, bit by bit! He's obtained the nucleus of his squad, with his big turnover, transfer plurge, in the summer there! He'll now add the class bit by bit, as its now quality needed, over quantity now! In stevie G, i most definitely trust! So professional, can handle the pressure of managing us and undoubtedly,
knows what he wants! He's a total winner and icon, through and through! Hope he stays his 4 years with us, as our manager! Knows the game inside out! Give him time to rebuild us!



03 Nov 2018 18:35:22
If Gerrard wants to be successful he needs to stop this rotation nonsense, always play your best 11. He needs a creative midfielder or two. We can't rely on kent cutting in all the time, its very ineffective when teams just sit in tight. We need players that can play two up top as the ball very rarely sticks up top. A RB and a LB that defend first would go a long way to achieving this👍.



03 Nov 2018 19:22:54
We've got to, at some point, pick a manager and stick with him, even when the going gets a bit tough. we have to give someone at least 3 transfer windows to put his own stamp on team. It's been a bit of a stutter recently but we have a young manager and newish team, there's been more positives than negatives so far let's give it some time and all pull together.



04 Nov 2018 07:38:25
Totally agree coldo but maybe because of our excellent run in europe ludicrous red cards bad luck with injuries that has prevented SG from playing his best team week in week out. Like you I would much rather play the best team each week. don't know why you got so many disagrees?



03 Nov 2018 16:17:28
The most important thing today was getting the 3 points first and foremost. Although the 1st half performance wasn't up to much, we definitely upped the anti, in the 2nd half and thoroughly deserved to win, in the end. A wee point about ryan jack, he'd always be in rangers starting 11, for me! He goes unnoticed a lot of the time, but jack does the hard, ugly work in midfield, well! He snaps into challenges, wins the ball and keeps everything moving in midfield! Morelos took his goal superbly today and wullie collum's horrendous decision, to send off daniel candeias, was an abysmal decision. Stevie G will most definitely appeal that decision! These wrong, blatant calls with referrees should be scrutinized and dealt with accordingly! Start demoting these referrees,
for these horrendous decisions! The refs standard in scotland, is of a shocking standard!



03 Nov 2018 17:38:35
can you appeal 2 yellows?



03 Nov 2018 17:52:53
Sorry my mistake! Stevie G can't appeal candeias's sending off, as it was 2 yellows he got, as opposed to a straight red card!



03 Nov 2018 18:08:06
I canthink find a replay of it what was the red for? Looked from where I was sitting likea ferdinsnd grabbed his neck, candeias didn't even react but got sent off and ferdinsnd got off scot free?



03 Nov 2018 19:21:41
both players got a yellow mate, was just Candeias second booking. You are right though that it was Ferdinand being the agressive, Candeias done nothing at all. Even the first booking is ridiculous, if that is a yellow then be prepared for dozens of them up and down the country.



03 Nov 2018 19:57:22
Snell although it shouldn't be, the first booking for candeias today is the rule! So i get his 1st booking his 2nd yellow shouldn't have happened, simple as that!



03 Nov 2018 20:23:49
Just saw the replay horrific decision by gallum again.



03 Nov 2018 20:46:50
If its a rule then fair enough but needs to be enforced every time not when a moronic ref has an agenda. Correct me if I am wrong but did Lustig get booked last season when arsing about in that policemans hat and the smelly lot jumping in their own fans?



03 Nov 2018 15:04:56
On another note when is this bloody sfa going to have a word with these refs. Something needs to be done with certain referees.
Football is all about entertaining the paying fans and the fans seeing the best players on the park.

Certain card happy refs are ruining our game.
Check out the stats of clancy collum and Dallas unbelievably.



03 Nov 2018 17:20:45
Collum (Gollum) is literally the worst ref in Britain. Never mind Scotland.



03 Nov 2018 17:59:47
Shameless and incompetent. Worst decision i can recall. Hope his next sh*te is a hedgehog!



03 Nov 2018 19:12:03
Every time that horrible we rat gets to ref a Rangers or Celtic game he thinks it's the wully Gollum show. He knows the country is watching and likes to make a name for himself against us, so he can tell his sad we 4th official pals that he booked thus guy and that guy, don't even get me started on Clancy. And why do most referees look like science teachers 🤔.



03 Nov 2018 15:00:44
Time for the Authorities to ban, demote or get rid of Willie Collum cause what he did to Candias Today was simply scandless. If Collum did that in his normal position, then he, d lose his Job SIMPLE AS!
Football is an entertaining sport and people spend their hard earned money to watch it and they don, t need Clown, s like Willie Collin wasting most games he, s in charge of.
Willie Young is the Referee Supervisor (I know him personally) and it, s time he got this sorted out!



03 Nov 2018 14:49:49
Good hard fought result. Listen guys SG has basicly replaced our full team in one transfer window. The next couple of Windows he will tweak all those areas that need improving by adding some quality.

So far this season our performances have been patchy but yet if results go our way later today we could be only one point behind the dims and r joint top in europa league.
So overall not bad for a new team.



03 Nov 2018 14:42:00
Just saw the Candeias "incident". Absolutely nothing to see. I really do think this is frustration from Gollum, annoyed at us winning the game. I really do and make no apologies for it. The worst decision I have ever seen and I'm 61 years old. Speechless! Surely something must be done about this decision? Can the red card be overturned?



03 Nov 2018 14:59:00
not sure seeker as it was 2 yellows?



03 Nov 2018 15:01:44
I may be wrong seeker but I'm sure only straight reds for violent conduct can be appealed. Hopefully I am.



03 Nov 2018 15:23:33
Was Morelos hit with a coin?



03 Nov 2018 15:43:56
Mcc yes he was.



03 Nov 2018 15:55:02
Sending off is a joke. I expect to see Collum having to explain himself. Scandalous decision.



03 Nov 2018 16:56:54
I think Callum can get it rescinded but he has to admit he made a total **** up.



03 Nov 2018 20:01:00
Fat chance of that Mr bassy.



06 Nov 2018 18:01:19
Mcc looks like a lighter.



03 Nov 2018 14:41:12
I see a lot of frustration on here that the points are not coming and the results are the same as previous seasons but one thing that stands out to me is that Rangers spend a hell of lot less time in their defensive third compared to the recent past. A lot of draws this season have been from giving up goals while we're leading. Last year our draws were from scoring late to avoid being beaten.



03 Nov 2018 14:33:08
I dunno, I think Candeias had a look up and tried his luck. Nice goal. We would have been howling had he missed. Don't you think a game with high winds requires less high crosses from the corners. It made Tavernier look like garbage. One of the worst i've seen from him. Things happened when we kept the ball down and ran right at them. Morelos had a few and Halliday had one even. You've got to give Halliday some love in this game, he's not the most talented but his head is up the whole time and he gives what he's got. What is with Worrall and high balls on his left side, reminds me of Derek Zoolander.



03 Nov 2018 15:03:28
I quite like Halliday in at left back, he's more skillful on the ball than Flanigan and better going forward. Tho Flanigan is a sturdier defender. Hope BB is back fit soon tho.



03 Nov 2018 15:30:43
Blue north tavernier has been playing like this when conditions are good.



03 Nov 2018 14:21:46
Brilliant 3 points after a poor performance just what we needed onward and upwards 👍 🇬🇧🇬🇧.



03 Nov 2018 14:32:40
Great second half. Can't argue with 21 attempts at goal away from home. Difficult conditions. Well done guys, much better! Let's grind them out and go on a run.



03 Nov 2018 15:04:49
You can certainly argue with only 4 on target tho. that's a shocking stat.



03 Nov 2018 15:13:44
Agree with only 4 on target, but like Wednesday 20 shots at goal. Getting there. If teams dig in, shot more and maybe get a goal or a rebound pick up. 😀 G.



03 Nov 2018 14:08:59
What a tit andy walker is just cannot praise rangers it's a joke.



03 Nov 2018 14:12:44
If you're referring to the goal then that was a cross every day for me lol. I agree that it's a joke that sky can't find anyone else to do the Scottish games.



03 Nov 2018 14:34:30
Commons and McFadden summarising and Walker co commentator. Wtf?



03 Nov 2018 14:03:26
CHANGE SOMETHING ITS NOT WORKING! PLEASE NO MORE 5 MINS TO GO SUBS!



03 Nov 2018 13:59:27
candeias might give 110% but a winger who clearly can't cross a ball to save his life is just a passenger that we can't afford at the moment.



03 Nov 2018 14:09:00
but what a goal lol think that was meant to be a pass.



03 Nov 2018 15:31:57
At least one of candeias crosses had an effect.



03 Nov 2018 13:41:39
Form aside one thing that shocks me given our managers background is we still seem to get bullied in the middle of the park I thought that would be the one thing we would sort out but no thought couilbally was the man for midfield enforcer but he's so off pace at moment.



03 Nov 2018 13:23:44
Same old same old. Haven't looked like scoring - could play for a fortnight and not score and we should actually be behind. I said after Wed that it would be a long hard season and was accused of negativity. I standby that. There is no urgency to move the ball quickly, everything is pedestrian. Don't think I'll bother with the second half, rather take the dog out and get soaked.



03 Nov 2018 15:02:22
lol took the dog out got soaked and missed 2 goals and a decent second half bummer huh?



03 Nov 2018 15:14:42
Agree with Struth1872 about our pace going forward, we look a much better team when we play it faster. They don't seem to have the confidence to do it, the last few matches. Only saw the last 20 minutes today, still have no idea what the second booking was for! and how does el buffalo put those away and miss the sitters?! . He does look sharper around the box lately, has he lost a bit of weight! Onwards and upwards.



03 Nov 2018 13:17:33
Awful viewing so far. The conditions are playing a big part in that but st mirren look completely untroubled at the back. Arfield doesn't do enough at times for me, he sort of drifts about never really looking to get on the ball and never breaking beyond the striker. We can't play with 3 midfielders who want to drop to deep, somebody has to get close to morelos and put them under pressure.



03 Nov 2018 13:31:24
We need to spend money on decent creative players (funds need to be found) otherwise we, ll need to wait years and develop our own. Because these Liverpool loanees ect are just not cutting it. Teams are finding us easy to play against!



03 Nov 2018 13:15:51
This is torture to watch! hope St mirren put as much in next week as they are today we look clueless in the last third really concerned at our form at the moment I appreciate they're choking the defence but it's up to us with supposedly superior players to find a way through come on gers! I'd take a scuffed deflected 1-0 just now for the points.



03 Nov 2018 12:06:15
Hi is it only me who is worried by the financial figures. Its tough on supporters. Need European money so stay in uefa is a priority. We have improved but still need players. Next year we must challenge for title as I can't see us stopping them this year.



03 Nov 2018 11:08:37
Seriously need the win today bears hope the team turn up and play with some confidence, anyway what's the predictions I'll say 2-0 not meaning any disrespect to fod but 2-1 if he starts but think it'll be mcgregor.



03 Nov 2018 10:09:52
Today's game how about starting with McGregor, tavernier, goldson, katic, halliday, jack, airfield, ajaria, gredza, Morelos and Middleton. freshen up a bit and have Kent on bench ready to come on as impact player if need be?



03 Nov 2018 10:44:09
Mcgregor
Tav. Goldson. Katic. Barasic
Jack. Rossiter
Grezda. Kent. Middleton
Morelos


Kent driving from Central areas is giving us something we lack badly.



03 Nov 2018 10:50:08
Barisic injured I think.



03 Nov 2018 10:51:41
Yip. Kent has to get moved into middle. He is the creative spark we’re missing in the middle.



03 Nov 2018 11:09:35
Aye think barasic is still out so flanno or halliday should do job! It's that attacking central area we lack threat from! When we signed Arfield I thought he would be that player but he plays abit deeper and doesn't get close enough to morelos.



03 Nov 2018 11:13:51
Mcgregor

Tav goldson katic halliday

Rossiter jack ardfield

Grezda morelos kent.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 3rd November 2018



03 Nov 2018 07:03:02
I honestly can't believe the way some supporters brains work.

'Warburton, Caixinha and Murty all had better win ratios than Gerrard'

If supporters were happy with managers who consistently led us to 5-0, 5-1 etc losses to our biggest rivals, getting put out of europe to Luxembourg's 4th best team or a man who gave the final say on what to do in a game to Kenny Miller then call me crazy but I'll take Gerrard every day.

Is he the perfect manager? No but he has improved the squad and he has us competing in Europe and he's only been a manager for a few months.

He's had one transfer window and yes we still are missing players in key areas but to be saying he's out of his depth is ridiculous. We WILL get back on track, we WILL move up the league and we WILL sign players required in January.

The nonsense has to stop, the last 3 games have not been good enough but every team has those spells. Give it time and Gerrard will show he is the right man for the job.



03 Nov 2018 07:54:14
Sorry, that's just your opinion. You can't guarantee we WILL do as say. At least provide us with some detail as to why you think what you think so that the rest of us can come up with our own opinions.



03 Nov 2018 09:44:23
Mate he has shown his is the correct man for the job
Pedro was taking about dogs barking and caravans
SG is a work in progress and so far 70% has been good.
Pedro 30%
Murty 45%
Warburton 45%
We also have had more funds so that has helped the quality improve
Come January it will get better again
Keep the faith lads SG will deliver the goods.



03 Nov 2018 12:44:30
STYAB, do you really believe there's been no improvement from the last 2 seasons? We have better players, competeting in Europe as well as the league, yes last 3 results have been disappointing but its still only the start of November, how people can write Gerrard off at this stage is ludicrous, we must be the only team not allowed a blip in form, one loss and its sack the gaffer, it's complete nonsense. My opinion is the same as most bears, we have improved and we will keep going. As has been said we are a long term project and I have full confidence that we have the right man for that job.



03 Nov 2018 13:24:26
He's only lost 3 out of something like 24 matches, including some tough European ties, and only by 1-0 each time. Does anybody really want Pedro back?
