Any1 think we got a chance tonight. Personaly no. I'm writing this season off. Hopefully better recruitment in January and close season and we start afresh next season.

Bit pessimistic. Braga played nobody since gubbing tims. Their defeats been against nobody. I admit we're team in transition but got good chance.

Each to their own davie, I will never write the season off. Hearts are crumbling and Celtic are in as much turmoil as anybody else.

David Weir
Stuart Webber
Paul Mitchel
All being linked with the current vacancy of sporting director
Outwith David Weir - would anyone like any of the other 2?

27 Nov 2025 08:25:26
Norwich and Newcastle most recent, don't think Weir would come.

Davie Weir, albeit my favourite and gers stalwart, got to be outsider. Gone Strasbourg weeks ago after 6 good years Brighton. After such short stint at Strasbourg even if had time yet to sign contract going to be difficult to prise away, and so far silence deafening.

Davie Weir would be my no.1 choice like many others Thestigno1 🙏 However he's working for strasbourg now, so unfortunately just can't for the life of me see us being able to get davie Weir ☹️.

Didn't we get linked with Paul Mitchell last time? Would be interesting but I don't know anything about any sporting directors outwith those who have been at Rangers.

27 Nov 2025 10:32:48
Why the obsession with Davie Weir, from one poster on here in particular? His name would never be mentioned if he hadn't played for us.
2
27 Nov 2025 10:45:37
Scott in hindsight should have probably left Weir name out of it.
It's the other 2 I'm more interested to know everyone's views on?
0
27 Nov 2025 11:18:15
I think Weir's reputation from Brighton would have had his name mentioned regardless whether or not he played for us Scott.

Paul Mitchell is rated highly, yes i think we did Rfc_55.

I don't know anything about the other two but I would take Davie Weir, experienced in the role plus he has knowledge of the club and Scottish football and he knows what is needed to win.
Keeping Thornton as CEO as some on here who know better than me say he s a good guy with real experience plus Weir as Sporting Director seems to me to bring a bit of Rangersness back at board level and guys who know their jobs.
If we are still looking for a DOF we should be looking for the same profile if possible.

Ed, a well written article.
Personally, I think Slot is finished. He looked lost last night.
Completely agree with you regarding VAR.
It needs binning.

I'm not a Liverpool supporter, although I do like to see them do well, but it strikes me that sacking a manager who has just won the EPL, 5 months into the new season is not a thing Liverpool would do. As a club they are better than that.
Slot is only part of the problem, star players are looking done, new guys struggling to fit in and who knows how the tragic death of Diogo Jota has affected them all.
The bottom line is, if you sack Slot who do you get in his place?

Russel Martin is available.

27 Nov 2025 07:11:41
Raskin saying yesterday he's waiting for someone to come and talk to him regarding new deal. Bonkers this has not been done yet, even if just to maximise sell on value.

27 Nov 2025 07:31:33
There's time Paul, he's still got 18 months, but get your point, sooner the better. 👍.

27 Nov 2025 08:32:27
Fork you don't want him getting to the summer with 12 month left and have his head turned and leave for pennies.
0
27 Nov 2025 08:48:51
Not really time mate if he does not sign soon and runs down another 6 month his value half's.
1
27 Nov 2025 09:32:24
Definitely get Raskin signed up the fact that he is a regular starter for Belgium if he eventually gos it should be for upwards of 20 mil.

27 Nov 2025 09:53:19
Aye true guys why I said sooner the better👍.

Should be working on Raskin contract right now, before the transfer window opens, think he'll sign another contract even for only getting Rangers the cash he's worth, just got that kinda feeling from his interview yesterday.
0
27 Nov 2025 11:26:15
We've just got rid of 2 guys due to their incompetence so I'm not shocked. This should be a priority for the new guys when they get appointed.

Fork
Even 18 mnth frightens me. His value lessening exponentially. If he's up for it as seems case give him extra 5 year contract as gers show willing.
1
27 Nov 2025 12:25:29
If he's being truthful and we don't sign him up pre World Cup even for sell on that's insane.
0
27 Nov 2025 12:26:30
We should be talking to Raskin and anybody else who is reaching the end of their contracts. Its neglect that we haven't done so but it is obvious that if Martin had stayed Nico was going and then we would be waiting to get Rohls feedback on each individual player.
Discussions should start now presumably with Thornton and some of the 49rs group. Get him signed now and if he has a good world Cup, we could make a fortune in the summer.

Great to see our American owner / chairman Andrew Cavanagh and paraag marathe now bearing their teeth and showing they will be ruthless and make ruthless decisions, to help make Rangers the no 1 team in Scotland again 👍🇬🇧 They've not dived in and watched/gauged everything over a period of time and we all know they were spot on in their decisions of sacking Russell Martin, Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell. 👍🇬🇧
Nowhere near good enough for our great football club 🤔Now the new era begins in earnest with our new head coach Danny Rohl who i'm very happy with and think he'll prove to be a very good/shrewd appointment for us 👌I think / hope our interim CEO fraser thornton becomes our new permanent CEO, as he looks to have all the necessary credentials 👌I would love davie Weir as our new sporting director, although i realise in all probability it won't happen. ☹️
My others that spring to mind would be carlos bocanegra, Christian Nerlinger,
Arthur Numan, Ronald de Boer. 🙏I also thought about Claudio Reyna, but Captain America will unfortunately also be out our reach ☹️ It's going to be very interesting indeed who's chosen to work in tandem with our head coach Danny Rohl, as our new sporting director 🤔🇬🇧.

Davie Weir has never done the Sporting Director job before, why would he be a good fit for it? Also Numan and de Boer, why would they be a good fit? Seems like you just want them because they played for us.

27 Nov 2025 06:14:01
Anyone in the know can correct me if i'm wrong but 3 available sporting directors
Christian Nerlinger
David Friio
Ralph Ragnik
I believe all these guys are available and all have decent pedegree as Sporting Directors
I'd like to see us go for David Friio.

Other than 'it's the modern way' I've no idea of the benefit to the club and the manager with having a director of football. The role always feels like it gets in the way of doing great things.
2
27 Nov 2025 06:46:47
Nerlinger hasn't been a Sporting Director for over 13 years. He runs a football agency now.
2
27 Nov 2025 07:32:50
Why Nerlinger?
Here's a novel idea. Why don't we go after someone who is actively in the role right now, and who is succeeding in it, rather than looking for the cheap option and hiring someone out of a job?!

I agree with you Dado, seems a costly addition to an ever growing tree, how did teams manage without half a dozen suits with computers keeping them right?

Let's not forget we have also advertised for a director to operate between DoF and manager.

Did he not have a fall out with Bloom and that led to a parting of the ways?
