Hard to know, he only played a few games for us. He played in a holding role against Celtic and totally bossed the midfield so that shows he has some talent but seen a couple of other games where you hardly seen him at all. Still he's only a kid, got to give him time.
Agree0
Disagree0
Good young talent but still got a long way to go. Can play/spot great passes but thats all. Good signing for you lot and should have no problems in the championship :)
Agree0

Cheers for that mate - he is a cracking young prospect and one of the really sad things about what has happened to us is players like him and Jamie Ness have left the club. Hope he does a good job for you's I am sure he will.

Great wee player. A real prospect. Sorry to lose him.

Alright mate! I he's a good young player. Didn't look fazed with the big games. He's from my area - (his dad was mega strict with him, making sure he played football constantly etc) so no doubt he will do great for u and make u lot some money ;)

Alright mate,thanks for the well wishing.Rhys McCabe.Small but fast player,decent range of passing but quite lightweight.To be honest,didnt play that many first team games and bailed along with the good players that left us.was raised at rangers and theres a fair wee bit of dissapointment in his decision to scarper.good luck to him,good luck to your team.

He only played a few first team games for us. He looks like he could be a decent player in the future.

He didn't play much first team football. Seems to be a good player but time will tell! Needs to be coached well to progress

Raw talent, but very inexperienced and I think he has made the wrong decision to move on so early in his career. He really should have stayed another two seasons to gain experience and mature physically. I wouldn't expect too much, probably an average squad player at this stage in his career.
Agree0
Disagree0
Absoloutley bossed the old firm game in march , terrific prospect! Loyalty questionable tho
Agree0
Disagree0
Played a few games and did reasonably well in a poor SPL Young and a long way to go to prove himself. He will struggle in the championship as its more physical and he's not an athlete. Cant see him staying long with the Owls and will be back in Scotland within a year.

We will get 2 or 3 of the 4. Be stunned if we sign all 4.
Agree0

I have my doubts for the future, how can anyteam in the 3rd division afford the to be paying the wages these players are getting. Im I the only one feeling this way?
Agree4
Disagree2
Am I right in thinking Kafes and Ionescu are both central midfielders? Like Shiels and Black? Assuming Edu goes then we still have Hutton and Bedoya so that would be 6 central midfielders with a left back being our only winger. Why do we insist on buying players for positions we don't need and playing them out of position to fit them in? If we sign Beattie and Kyle then does McCulloch drop to central mid? Will Little go wide right?

Kafes-7k
Ionescu-2-3k

Rangers can afford these players wages because we will hopefully fill Ibrox regularly. Their deals will probably be more appearance based so if they don't play they get payed less. I think there will also be promotion bonuses to make up for smaller wages.
Agree0
Disagree0
First of all we won't have 6 central midfielders as neither bedoya or shiels are cm's! Second of all we need to build a squad as we are well short at the moment....plus won't be signin players for a year & a half so it's important to get as many decent players we can signed in the next few weeks.....a do agree that some of the wages bein mentioned are a bit outa hand though! Surely we're not seriously thinkin about payin guys 6/7k a week...shiels a can maybe understand as he's a class act & will prob prove to be worth it but most of the other guys are either injury prone or the wrong side of 30..! Think McCoist/Green need to be careful when handin out contracts to this type of player.

Can anyone tell me if rangers are still offering the direct debit scheme to pay for season tickets or is it a one off payment they are looking for? Thanks {Ed039's Note - Can be spread over 4 months)

Lets face facts here fellas, ally would have been sacked if there was no admin and he comes away with a slogan and suddenly hes the greatest, Green, certainly he was the only to put any offer in but surely to god Ł200k + a week wage bill in 3rd division, is surely a surefire way back to administration and still no full licence and he slags off the sfa is he mental? jj

Don't trust Green entirely but see no other option than to back him.

Lets be honest these old co rangers men were nowhere to be seen in helping the club new start new era the only disapointing thing from green was the bigotry comment trying to get some people on board was a really stupid quote lets distance ourselves from that we are better in that mr green seems the real deal
Agree0

Just talking to my wife.She works in banking.Her advice:
Anyone signing up for a "Continuous Credit/debit card scheme is asking for trouble.You are,in effect giving control of your card to a third party who can take cash when they like.It can be very difficult to cancel as their is no paper work involved.To a large degree you're at the mercy of the company.It's high risk.Be careful lads.

Bedoya to stay at Rangers...after showing ahis eagerness to move on to another club - Mcoist will make him stew on the bench for the start of the season if we sign this new attacking midfielder from Romania!

I remember Bedoya actually saying he was keen to stay with us quite recently. Muzz

Why the hell would you have a big earner sitting stewing on the bench, are you mental, no-one has learned anything from recent events. jj {Ed039's Note - Prob on less than Shiels)

Probably right there Ed, I just feel its a good time to blend some youth through with the current veterans, all this talk of signing the same type of 2nd rate players on big wages as previous regimes, just pi55es me off. jj

Well done sir. I totally agree with you, I use to post on this site all the time but constantly got shot down by fellow bears.

The majority of the folk on here are celtic fans looking to wind gers up. It's the same on the newspaper forums. I find it a bit sad and a tad weird. I never read celtic stories as I'm not interested in them. But then again they are just the pretenders...
Agree4
Disagree0
Well said mate the only reason i come on this site is too see rumours but when people make them theres allways more dislikes than likes , ed i think you should have said somthing by now:) {Ed039's Note - I did)
Agree0
Disagree0
To be honest, I think your original post covered it - it's not a suggestions page, it's a rumours page.
By that I mean, we come on here to see who might be signing. Maybe Robbie Fowler has been spotted at Glasgow Airport. Or Nacho Novo has been seen going into Murray Park. Or Andrei Ionescu has been getting a tour of Ibrox. That type of thing.
I think that some people just get fed up reading the same old player suggestions day-in, day-out. Personally I don't mind reading suggestions because, if nothing else, it gives me food for thought and it's something to talk about. But maybe that's what the banter page is more suited for. Also, for all us Rangers fans it's been quite a testing year - some ups, plenty of downs. It's worth taking that into consideration, ill feeling of how this whole situation has been handled (and continues to be) might cause a few people to be a little bit grumpy.
Agree0
Disagree0
I follow Celtic mainly but I check out all the rumours sites including Rangers. I find them all interesting (I do have a life) and you are always going to get wind-ups, no different from the terraces really. I particularly like it when the Eds comment as they are normally pretty sensible and accurate and sometimes tell posters off when they step out of line. Not having a pop here, but I have learned so much about football and the legal side (Administration, Liquidation, CVA's, BTC etc.etc.) from this site it made me realise how close Celtic came to a similar position. Keep pasing the info - good, bad or just plain silly...that is what the site is about.

Heard from a reliable source today that craig beattie is considering an offer from rangers.he has apparently been promised that rangers will be in the top division next season after a league re shuffle. He wants to wait for hard evidence of tis before signing. I think he'll have a long wait I can't see anything being leaked from spl chiefs about future plans for league reconstruction.
Believable14
Unbelievable78
Were did u get this info from,tooth fairy or even Doncaster himself, utter b****cks..
Agree0

Would anybody really be surprised if there was backdoor deals going on. Rangers went bust and are lucky to be allowed back in to D3 with a different company. But if this whole shambles has proven anything it is that SFL, SPL & SFA must be made into 1 organisation. They're all just covering their own asses.
When the sh*t hit the fan in February they should have went in a wee room and decided what was going to happen if Gers went bust. No one man making a call, a joint decision. No blame, no reprisals. All this deadline, deadline, vote, vote .... a joke.
(Take my hat off to the Rangers players from Sunday, Especially, the ones that may be leaving as they've cup-tied themselves for playing for any other team in the Ramsdens cup.)
Anyway, got to go, bhoys are playing in the Champions league qualifier tonight. Or to you, that's the diddy cup. lol
Agree0
Disagree1
The SFA have already denied this is happening (not that that counts for anything). Beattie's move is entirely dependant on what other deals he gets offered, nothing else.
Agree0
Disagree0
There could be some truth in this...... They do appear to be signing people capable and proven in the SPL, albeit if someone had mentioned on this page a year ago that we were interested in signing these players they would have been given so much abuse for wasting our time. Think they will all do a good job getting us back up to SPL (If there is still an SPL to go to)
Don’t know about the rest of you but would you like us to be invited into a restructured SPL as has been suggested? I personally would prefer to work our way back up to where we belong adding some new trophies that we have never won before on the way and bring through some good young talent which will only make us as fans and The Rangers as a team stronger.
Agree0
Disagree0
Why not just sign for one season then? Cos we are allowed to renew contracts I take it?
Agree0
Disagree0
As a celtic fan i would like to see beattie sign for yous ... and before you start the (why are celtic fans interested in who we sign ) we own your media rights so the better players you sign we can negotiate a better deal with sky and bring more money into the spl we can maybe sell the rights to ten games next year and make the spl stronger
Agree0

Regan confirm on BBC today that Green and McCoist agreed to all the membership pre-conditions weeks ago when they thought there were going into D1.
Green's "bigotry" chants and Ally's "I won't let them take our titles" one liners only came out after they were going to D3.

"(Take my hat off to the Rangers players from Sunday, Especially, the ones that may be leaving as they've cup-tied themselves for playing for any other team in the Ramsdens cup.)"
Eh, they aren't leaving The Rangers to play for another diddy team in D3 FFs, so don't think they will be too fussed with being cup tied!
