Keep hearing rumours about players saying they don't rate the new guys. Fair enough they may well have said this but I'm almost 100% sure a couple of Mexican internationals (one of which hasn't actually played yet), a 90 odd capped Portuguese international, a Scotland international and a highly rated young Portuguese centre half are all better than the likes of Kiernan, ohalloran, Forrester etc.

Teams don't gel over night these things take time. The new players need to get used to a new country, different styles and different culture. let's give them time to settle before we judge.

It hasn't been an ideal start but I'm not worried about losing closed doors friendlies, we've had seasons in the past where we've had awful pre seasons and won the league. I don't think we will win the league but I think we need to be patient. let's see where we are at the end of August then we can start to judge until then we need to get behind the manager and his new players.



19 Jul 2017 00:05:30
I think what's happening is people r judging the manager very quickly and mayb not the players.



19 Jul 2017 00:07:55
Yeah your right teams don't gel overnight but come on, losing to parttimers then getting beat off a second string st Johnstone team with most of our new players involved. The writing is on the wall, anyone who says Pedro should be given a chance is in denial, he is a disaster and all the rumours about unrest and players confronting the manager is beginning to gather pace and with the new season just around the corner i for one hope the board have the balls to sack this guy and bring in a proper manager before it's too late. Unfortunately this board are weak and will stick by this guy until the results will inevitably leave them with no choice but to show him the door. I'm all for giving managers a chance but for goodness sake the job is clearly too big for Pedro!

It is with regret that I say that I agree with everything you said RonnieR9



19 Jul 2017 07:34:21
There's been a campaign against Pedro since he walked through the door by the media and it seems a lot of rangers fans are buying into it as well. Results over pre season have been shocking but then it hasn't been a proper pre season as they weren't counting on shocking Euro result. I think the fact many of the new signings can't speak English isn't helping. I've heard the rumours about previous players (kenny miller) specifically saying the new players are rubbish but it always comes from a friend of a friend who supposedly knows a player. Left and right back concern me but I think we should see how things go first few league games before jumping on the bandwagon.



19 Jul 2017 10:09:22
Agree 100% got to give Pedro and players time I really think it will but all the negative stuff especially from the media won't help they want us to fail I know Europe was hard to take what about the other Scottish teams just as bad and Celtic still have a lot to do for champions league group stages



19 Jul 2017 10:22:16
Enough of the conspiracy theories. Show me the evidence of a campaign against Pedro. In my eyes, any bad press Pedro has had has been of his own making with his idiotic statements and results.



19 Jul 2017 10:40:44
The simple truth of the matter is not one thing has changed in his time as manager except some good sound bites and a few signs up and around the training ground.

The new players, from the limited time we saw them, weren't very impressive - but most players need time. What worries me is his "tactics" and "style".

Setting out that last Europa game with both Rossiter and Jack is mind blazingly negative. Persistent mentioning of high press, quick play, crosses from wide and so on are all well and good, but its not showing on the park - Aberdeen have been weakened this summer of that there is no doubt, yet I would still fancy them to finish above us this year, and when you factor in the amount of money invested in the squad, it is a shambles.
Pedro can only take so much blame, you then must start to look toward the board that appointed a man with no real pedigree and a questionable track record at best.

Only time will tell, but I would think from our first 5 games, anything less than 11 points and he has to be replaced.



19 Jul 2017 11:15:48
With Aberdeen signing Stewart, mackay Stevens and christie I would say they have at least stayed on par with last season.



19 Jul 2017 11:18:19
I have to admit my concern is the lack of tactics not so much the signings. I personally am not a fan of 433 or 451 whatever you want to call it. I think a 442 diamond would suit us. Jack, Pena, Dorrans and Kranjcar in middle with 2 strikers up front. Playing with 2 strikers is a must for me in most games, especially Ibrox



19 Jul 2017 15:39:05
did they not sign sean malloney aswell? half decent player



19 Jul 2017 16:26:58
Jyf is spot on. He has faced negative press amongst some Rangers fans from the beginning. Same type of fans who want a "Rangers man" in.

Neiderkorn was just the car crash most of these numpties were begging for so they can install another "Rangers man".



19 Jul 2017 19:29:02
Pedro a disaster . not taken in by media. judging him by watching team and results since his arrival . not one good performance from any of his foreign signing as I have stated before Derek mcinness should have been boards first signing and I am sure with millions Pedro has been wasted mcinness would have built a good team to challenge the tims



19 Jul 2017 20:43:59
Definitely not a fan of the 4-3-3 formation. Imo I think we should start near enough all games 4-1-4-1 then switch accordingly. Our opening results are massive and we will need to build confidence and not go into games thinking we've already won!
We have on paper a harder start than last Season, Motherwell away is tricky and I don't care what the final score is as long as we win the thing.
Thoughts. What formation do u think Ped will go with at Fir Park and who?
My Team in a 4-1-4-1.
Fods
Tavs
Alves (C)
Cardoso
Beerman
Jack
Candieas
Dorrans
Pena
Dalcio-Walker
Herrera
Regarding who plays up front it prob comes down to showing to be on form during the remaining friendlys.



20 Jul 2017 14:19:29
ronnie, guys like u that put all the negativity out there do nothing other than harm our team and make us sound like greeting faced wains.
yes we have lost a couple of games but that doesn't mean this team won't click.
and to be honest i don't think we will win this league for the next few years realistically but i'm not going to say these players are terrible and the manager is worse just because they haven't clicked yet that's just childish.



20 Jul 2017 14:23:04
Would someone please tell Pedro what colours gers play I'm his quote after st Johnstone game was he not worried as team was producing and playing well man not up to it



18 Jul 2017 19:12:23
I'm reading that wiess wants a return to rangers well I say sign him up immediately I'm sure DK could muster up 2.7M spending over 10M is hardly breaking world records and get in walker again 1M isn't a huge sum of money . this way DK if you want to atleast challenge Celtic you must be willing to spend decent sums of cash without being reckless obviously I believe these 2 players are manageable to get in the door .



18 Jul 2017 21:44:43
Sick of hearing about Weiss, we have got to live within our means, if that means finishing second this season so be it.

We have already spent a lot of money, on transfer fees or wages
We have to back the manager and stop all the whinging negative comments



18 Jul 2017 22:49:32
Would like Weiss back but I remember him being very hit or miss when he played so wouldn't break the bank to get him.



18 Jul 2017 23:05:38
Mjg ok I see your point I guess 3rd or 4th place league finish is good enough these days



19 Jul 2017 09:37:42
Forget Weiss sign Walker now.
Walker will score goals and add a bit pace and creativity.



19 Jul 2017 13:46:51
Some folk are just stuck in the past - let's move on from Weiss, we can't afford him and we've just bought loads of midfielders.



19 Jul 2017 22:29:34
Weiss is a far better player now than he was before. And yeah Walker would be my priority and a fee of 5-600k for him is, what we should pay and no more. Hearts will not let that amount pass them by.
But get Weiss too and that gives us 4 Wingers with Dalcio and Candieas. If we have the Transfer Fee I think Weiss will accept the wages we can afford.



18 Jul 2017 19:30:40
A share holder at work was telling me we are definitely making a move for naismith and that hibs want windass. Just thought I would share.



18 Jul 2017 21:56:48
Rotherham want windass



19 Jul 2017 19:10:55
being a shareholder gets you no info at all unless you have 7%+ and maybe not even then



20 Jul 2017 14:55:51
Doesn't matter if Hibs want Windass they can't afford him. Not unless its a Player plus cash deal but I cannot see us doing business with the Club.



18 Jul 2017 18:29:01
Hearts training up in Inverness today and one of there Scottish players said he was talking to Kenny Miller and things were not good at training. Pedro falling out with loads of players inc him and also said he never rated many of new signings. 100% true.



18 Jul 2017 19:12:06
Unfortunately this seems genuine - people on one of the FB chats are now saying and reliable information it appears that players have downed tools - after today's performance this is incredibly worrying . This story will break everywhere soon . Can't believe what's happening at our club .
I think Pedro is looking a goner even before the season starts.



18 Jul 2017 19:26:04
Sorry for the following cliche reply but.

Did he aye?



18 Jul 2017 21:17:46
Never heard a rumour to put here as I live in Inverness but today that is what was said I'm only sharing it. TBH would love it not to be true as want us to get out this negative crap and start making headlines for good reasons



18 Jul 2017 21:44:16
Whether the rumour is true or not the job is too big for Pedro and this season will be another failure unless changes are made!



18 Jul 2017 22:08:39
So who was the "Scottish player" and did you personally speak to him or taking this as a Chinese whisper?
KM needs to come clean and decry or confirm this sh@te
I am getting sick fed up of this as ma da used to say 😖



18 Jul 2017 23:06:31
I agree with some on here, if it is Kenny Miller, why is he undermining the manager and not coming out and being open about it rather than leaking information to others. He has no right just because he has experience and it could easily cause a divide in the dressing room. He needs to get behind the management team and work with them to implement their tactics and understand them for the good of Rangers and not for a personal vendetta. If professionals cannot understand the basics of transitional play between the thirds in Scotland then it's worrying and no wonder the Scottish game is so dire.



19 Jul 2017 10:29:44
"KM needs to come clean and decry or confirm this sh@te"
That may be the way things work in Legoland, but not in the real world.
He is not going to come it and confirm the rumours or he'd never play under the manager again. The only thing he might do is to come out and decry the rumours whether there is any truth or not. That's the way things work.



19 Jul 2017 13:49:14
Oh it was on Facebook was it? It MUST be true then. Seriously guys, the Daily Record postings are bad enough, but some whisper on social media is most likely complete bull***t.



19 Jul 2017 14:38:05
Hearts? Inverness? Facebook? Kenny talking to some guy in a pub about Rangers players downing tools? Jesus, heard some belters on here but that's right up there with the biggest pile of guff yet.



19 Jul 2017 19:19:46
Davies big toe where abouts in Inverness do you live? Where we're hearts staying? It's true they were up here I also from Inverness and met perry kitchen in a shop he was on his way to the golf course where other hearts players were waiting not 1 of them mentioned a thing about rangers to me and I had my gers top on lot of folk on ere talking pure mince so come on spill



19 Jul 2017 22:36:24
When this Team starts winning any negativity will soon disperse and we can get it right up every hater of our Club.
An Old Firm win would do absolute wonders! Fingers Crossed



20 Jul 2017 10:43:28
Andy, change the 'when' to an 'if' and I'd agree with you.
