Fans are split on Morelos but he wears our jersey and I'll always support him when he does. He's knuckled down in pre season and is on target to reach his fitness and body fat targets. One question though lads and this isn't a criticism. would you be confident in Morelos leading our front line and taking the limited chances he will get in Europe and against Celtic?

Eds, can you run a poll simply asking, Can Morelos score the goals required to win us the title or a cup?

Morelos Poll

08 Jul 2018 21:17:29
Well that should shut the naysayers up!

08 Jul 2018 21:28:29
Morelos will be a key player for us now he has better players around him. I think he will score 20 plus this season. I hope the fans get right behind him and any player who's got the jersey on.

09 Jul 2018 06:29:06
I've said it before and I'll say it again - to all those who constantly criticise Morelos and Windass, where would we have finished last season without their goals?

09 Jul 2018 09:47:26
10 / 5 DK17 hardly conclusive 15 people out of how many Hundreds here think he will score the goals

10 Jul 2018 01:00:12
Percentages my friend 3/ 1. Go alfredo

08 Jul 2018 14:41:56
Noticed Rangers don’t sell programs anymore on the website. Might be a long shout but does anyone know were I may get the souvenir Steven Gerrard Special Edition Cover Program from the game against bury the other day? Or if anyone is selling one? any help appreciated

08 Jul 2018 15:02:06
If it's online programme you are looking for Google Rangers Football club matchday programme and download the app you can buy the one your looking for on there, I got link from rangers website!

08 Jul 2018 15:14:55
CD Ranger, thanks man! but it’s the physical copy I’m looking for. shame rangers stopped selling the physical ones from there website could have easily made a lot off money off them I’m sure with fans that couldn’t attend the game itself to pick one up. hopefully al mange to get one soon but yeh again if anyone is selling a physical copy off the stevie g program let me know as al obviously pay more than the £3.50 retail price!

08 Jul 2018 20:51:55
There’s a guy sells old programmes out side ibrox on match days if he does have it he will get it for you. How this help

08 Jul 2018 21:13:35
E-bay I buy ones that I missed there

08 Jul 2018 21:39:53
Thanks Scottie will definitely try on the 12th when we have our 1st round in the Europa league, and yeh bill haha seen one in a auction right now and it’s going for £25. this program really is the most in demand I’ve seen tbh lol think even Liverpool fans want it. to commemorate one off there all time greats!

08 Jul 2018 11:58:26
can somebody explain why alves has to take a pay cut to go to a league that's financially higher than the spl,?
milking our club as per i'd make the twit sit on the bench for a year see if he gets any international call ups then

08 Jul 2018 12:13:08
Yeah that really makes sense to do.

08 Jul 2018 12:16:31
Aye because that makes sense pay him a pretty penny to do hee haw when our finances aren't obviously great, good thinking buddy👨‍🎓

08 Jul 2018 12:44:43
Hearing that Defoe is the marquee signing? what's the truth behind that guys

08 Jul 2018 14:47:57
Rangers saw fit to give him the contract and he is well within his rights not to sign for anyone if it means a large cut in his money. He has done wrong so I don't get your point

08 Jul 2018 15:06:31
If Parma can't afford him why is he demanding the pay up from us, I think we should keep him as it ain't going to save us money by letting him go to Parma! Then we won't need to go looking for another defender!

08 Jul 2018 15:38:18
We will have to fork out a percentage of his wages and the percentage isbwhat the haggle is about. if we pay say 15 then we are still saving 15 approx

08 Jul 2018 16:22:23
i totally agree with you guys on all replies to my post my main gripe is that he already got a years wages for doing nothing
now he will get to play in a league that's richer than ours for prob his last year and he won't go unless we pay half his wages u don't see many players coming are way doing the same

08 Jul 2018 18:59:19
Molsgoals my point exactly why let him go and get another def in and his pay would be what 10 2 15.so we have a def here already how's most people play and will be more acustomed to the league!

08 Jul 2018 19:41:36
This is nothing to do with how rich Serie A is, it is all to do with Parma not thinking he is worth his current wage and Rangers presumably paying over the odds for him in the first place.

08 Jul 2018 10:18:22
Who else thinks a 3 million asking price for McGinn is reasonable and would be a player that would fit perfectly into our midfield 3?

08 Jul 2018 10:21:12
I personally feel that it is cheap giving he would rule the midfield for us and would make us a lot of money in the future

08 Jul 2018 10:22:13
He's going to Celtic

08 Jul 2018 10:31:57
Would love to see us go for him, but safe to say if it’s a choice between us and them we know who he would pick.
Shame as they have ruined a few good young midfielders recently so you think they would learn.
I also can imagine it being £3m for Celtic and £5m for us.

08 Jul 2018 10:40:58
I totally agree with that. If lennon was not at hibs he would get him no probably but as long as he is there he won't get no1 from hibs. Who do you think we should be getting for a partner for El Buffalo

08 Jul 2018 10:43:58
Celtic won't pay 3m, and will still get him, by lending a player or 2.
Your right we would have been asked for 5!

08 Jul 2018 10:59:20
See hibs have named their price for mcginn (3million) where do celtic get there prices from. Tierney is a great young player but no where near worth 25m

08 Jul 2018 11:42:28
He will def go to Celtic with Scott Allan going the other way as part of deal and potentially Ryan Christie going on loan. Unfortunately McGinn would never do a Scott Allan and sign for the other half.

08 Jul 2018 11:49:11
There will never be a £25m player in Scottish football. Yeah Van Dijk went for triple that but he didn't leave Celtic for that.

08 Jul 2018 13:39:22
Players are only worth what clubs will pay for them

08 Jul 2018 13:31:11
Gers could bid £5mill he still no sign for us

08 Jul 2018 08:06:28
How’s about when any bear comes across sports direct, go in, grab as much garbage that Ashley sells as they can, take it to the till and when all of it has been scanned through, tell the poor wee sod at the counter politely “ no thanks son, I’ve changed my mind”. Causing havoc

08 Jul 2018 08:26:06
Don't take it out on the staff, take it out on Ashley if you take it out on anybody.

08 Jul 2018 09:07:57
The staff there have it bad enough as it is

08 Jul 2018 11:52:18
Reading the report it looks as though king has broken an agreement that would allow sports direct to make an equal bid to sell rangers goods, and that's why Ashley has taken action.

08 Jul 2018 13:27:00
Ye most of his staffs on zero contracts treats his staff like rubbish.

08 Jul 2018 13:32:00
Maybe we should be looking closer to home and asking why our chairman paid £3m to Ashley to get this deal and declared it a victory.

08 Jul 2018 13:45:46
The protest outside stores is stupid idea aswel. That’s just free advertising for him!

08 Jul 2018 14:59:59
Sounds to me as if someone screwed up. Most likely not King but whoever he delegated the job of making the Agreement to get Ashley and SD to bugger off.

08 Jul 2018 15:04:17
ABHAB enough about the chairman please . it out a victory . as far as I am led to beleive the injunction for his option to sell the strips is just until the end of the month or Aug. if this is the fact we can all surely wait another few weeks . I for one would love to wait then buy a couple . gi to st james park ( that is if he still is allowed by Newcastle support to sit in stands ) sneak up and throw the strip in his face . then suffer The qoncechenses of being evicted. I would just live to do that . the man is a rat

08 Jul 2018 15:08:21
TOMUSA the signatories on the deal were King and Paul Murray so seems King was very much involved in the screw up

08 Jul 2018 19:40:30
Shouldn't matter if Fat Mick is upset he's not being allowed to bid. If Rangers decide Woolworths is preferred bidder Mick should have hee haw to do with it.

08 Jul 2018 02:21:07
Morelos seems 2b getting pelters from all sides but I reiterate how he might improve under SG. Time will tell.

08 Jul 2018 07:37:29
Exactly the boy is still young. He can only learn and better. Remember super ally in his first season.

08 Jul 2018 07:43:44
Lad needs time to develop but my worry is that we just don’t have the room for passengers this year. 55s coming home

08 Jul 2018 08:31:28
He's going to have competition shortly, which will make or break him.

I tend to say it will make him more determined to hit the back of the next and improve.

But if he doesn't we should have someone who can 😀

08 Jul 2018 09:52:59
not sure i agree camoo

i know where you’re coming frm mate, but last season a good few times fredo got subd for cummings he took the petted lip face absl tripping him

don’t get me wrong that’s reaction i'd expect bit just not sure he’ll see it as a challenge and react positively

hope i’m wrong as the lads a grafter but in front of goal he just doesn't look a natural to me and doubt he’s the prolific finisher we need to get back on top

again i’d luv to be wrong and shot down on this

07 Jul 2018 23:32:17
Looking at this window so far i would say we half done good business but would say we need start shifting some on either by loan or free transfer to trim i squad down a bit espicailly midfield will be intresting to see if we spend any more money on transfer fees this window

08 Jul 2018 07:43:19
Cardoso Alves Halliday Forrester Hodson Herrera and Foderingham can all go in my opinion the fact Barjonas didn't play against Bury makes me think he's very close to his move to Partick on loan

07 Jul 2018 22:50:46
Dont post anything but really like some people's views on here What would be a successful season for Stevie G

What is his minimum and what wouldn't we accept I personally think second and a trophy would be a good season but is that too low or too high a bar?

Any thoughts?

08 Jul 2018 06:13:00
Obviously we are looking to win every game! With that being a long shot I would think a domestic trophy or 2 and to qualify for the group stages of europa league!

08 Jul 2018 07:52:21
Win the league

08 Jul 2018 11:22:06
Right here's my rant of the day. up to the 1-1 game would u agree that Morelos has had a good first season?

He missed a couple of sitters/ Craig Gordon made a couple of worldies and yes his confidence dropped. and at 21 he might be striker who needs five chances to score one but that will improve with better players (which we are getting) and better coaching (which it appears we are getting! )

What did he finish with in Finland? 44 goals or something like that. He wasn't exactly in a team running away with the league giving him tens of chances each game. He fought, he ran the channels, he bullied and he wanted it more than his opponent. And before u disagree look at his footage. now the spl is a step up and he will have to do the same. 21 years old, 18 goals, don't know how many assists. he's a wean! Solanke has done NOTHING at club level so all these people saying he would tear it up base that on absolute hee-haw. when his form fell off a cliff he still battled and fought, which I can't say that for most of the players last year. so here's an idea; get off his back, support him and let's see where he Can take us.

08 Jul 2018 13:51:31
Easy tiger 100% agree with your post. great valid points
Some people on here have no sense or vision and would cut their nose off to spite there face . Just hope the boy gets a chance to rub their noses in it . He certainly seems a lot happier now.

08 Jul 2018 17:47:49
Bravo bravo, much agreed. Solanke, Ings, Defoe just because guys have played in the Prem everybody goes "he'd rip it up in Scotland" "he'd run riot up here" they cannot even run riot in their own teams reserves but we want them to come and replace a young lad that is already holding his own as a profession footballer.
At 21 he was left as the only striking option at one of the biggest clubs in the world with a fan base full of expectation and at times desperation urging him to be the next George Weah under severe pressure in a team that were struggling to match their quality with the standards expected of Rangers. I hope he scores loads this season bit he does have to start sticking the easy ones away.
