21 Aug 2018 21:37:04
Bill Young (usually reliable) has said he has been advised Lafferty will be announced tomorrow, his medical was completed tonight.

Sceptical myself but passing on the rumour.



21 Aug 2018 21:51:02
It was hoped the deal would go through tonight to enable Laff to face the Russians. I’m not sure Hearts have accepted terms yet.



21 Aug 2018 22:09:36
I realy hope so. Would love to see the big man do the damage for us once more. And the fact he's coming back a more polished player is a bonus.



21 Aug 2018 23:59:35
Spot on RJM88. Lafferty would come back to us a more mature, hungry player, with lots to prove to the team, and also himself. I would welcome him back, with open arms. Life is too short to hold bloody grudges. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS FOR THE FAMOUS.



22 Aug 2018 08:27:51
Bill young Talks pish.



22 Aug 2018 08:43:35
Think the deadline for Europa league is tonight.



22 Aug 2018 09:07:10
According to Bill Young he has been on the verge of signing for the last 2 weeks.



22 Aug 2018 09:17:18
I hope the announcement is made today, as it's dragged on long enough, it would be great if we could get him included for Thursdays game, it would take a lot of pressure off Alfie. I notice one poster said that announcement would be made, but terms hadn't been agreed with Hearts, if that's the case, there won't be an announcement.



22 Aug 2018 09:30:00
Forgive me for not knowing but who is Bill Young?



22 Aug 2018 12:19:53
Teddybear really? Well he gets it right most of the time, and he has got this one right also. He will sign today.



21 Aug 2018 17:16:56
Any news on the availability of the new strip my sons birthday on the 13th September and it’s all he’s on about is there any chance I’ll be able to get it by then?



21 Aug 2018 17:40:51
Will be lucky if it’s out for Xmas as Ashley has us by the haw maws 😭😡🇬🇧.



21 Aug 2018 19:42:36
Surely there is a tender out on it and a date been set for the bid. usually if you fail to meet the date then your bid is not considered. I would guess all Ashley is concerned about now is milking house of Fraser for all he can.



21 Aug 2018 19:59:01
Blue nose I heard that this is the issue there is no date by which tender required to be submitted.
I really hope this is not true. If it is whole board should go.
There was a wee rumour going around club Europe this was why Murray had left.



21 Aug 2018 20:04:11
As a club we now have absolutely no income from merchandise and Hummel would be quite right to pull out!
It’s a shambles! 😭🇬🇧.



21 Aug 2018 20:17:09
Yately it sure is.



21 Aug 2018 20:58:17
Now now lads it's all part of the masterplan u can't be criticising the board on here 😉.



21 Aug 2018 21:16:44
Well at least you might wait until the situation is resolved before criticising FB!

Ask some questions of course but until you know the facts at least take a balanced view.

I’m pretty sure that the board are doing all they can to resolve things.



21 Aug 2018 21:24:01
It must be some master plan Frustrated blue and unfortunately we are up against a man who is one of the richest men in the country. I did originally wonder why the big boys including Nike, Adidas never got involved, but now understand and probably Hummel were the only option who now probably regret getting involved.
It’s so sad we can’t go and buy our kids our wonderful colours and we all have to put on the old kits🇬🇧🇬🇧.



21 Aug 2018 21:29:06
I think I am right in saying in business tenders must be in by a certain date and usually the highest tender wins,
I also seem to remember that the judge told sports direct "you have got your contract its time to make peace"
Also I would imagine that if either side is not playing by the rules then they will end up back in court, hopefully it is settled soon.



22 Aug 2018 08:04:07
Paul Murray didn’t just leave of his own accord, he was advised to leave by the board.



22 Aug 2018 08:18:09
I think the club owe the fans some sort of official communication on this subject.

Don't need all the details, but an indication of timescales would be nice.



22 Aug 2018 10:01:49
Gersguy, u any idea why board wanted Murray out.



22 Aug 2018 11:59:18
Keith Jackson leak.



21 Aug 2018 11:59:36
rangers launch another bid for lafferty and are also intrested in jordan jones Belfast T.



21 Aug 2018 12:44:26
gettin fed up way this laffery thing now dragging on its obv were no getting him cause we won't pay 750k for him.



21 Aug 2018 13:04:54
I don't fancy any of the strikers we are linked with lafferty or McCormack. they are both past their best. We should stick to the academy strikers.



21 Aug 2018 13:34:54
Academy strikers won't win us the league.



21 Aug 2018 13:37:46
Academy strikers. good 1. What if Morelos gets injured, big Sadiq doesn't look up to much. Then what u left with some young lad getting bullied whole game. Just wouldn't work.



21 Aug 2018 14:48:27
Lafferty is in his prime, nowhere near past his best. Some folk are acting like he’s 35.



21 Aug 2018 15:13:18
Lafferty yes McCormack no.



21 Aug 2018 15:17:12
Lafferty looked pretty good to me last season and certainly didn’t look past his best putting the mhanky mob to the sword recently. He’s only 30 man. He’d do a job for us. Gerrard would get the best outta him.



21 Aug 2018 15:32:39
do not want mc cormack anywhere near ibrox.



21 Aug 2018 15:34:19
Hearts mulling over £600k bid for Lafferty, Gers also make enquiry about Jordan Jones.



21 Aug 2018 16:31:05
Cannot believe anybody would even mention McCormack coming bk to the brox a wouldn’t even take him if wee got payd for it aknow him from priesthill he’s a diehard manky unwashed fish (that’s if that mobs even got diehard fans) plus he un settles dressing rooms n doesn’t care always been the same n would take lafferty bk in a heart beat anybody else tell me a better signing wee can get at his price he’s only 30 still a few year yet with him
Let’s go.



21 Aug 2018 16:55:22
Russians granted visas.



21 Aug 2018 17:28:04
I’d take Lafferty but not interested in McCormack but I’d like to think there is some good youngsters who will get some game time this season and start giving the manager a headache in the coming seasons our training ground should be producing more!



21 Aug 2018 18:13:19
Yeah Lafferty is past his best You know hee-haw! To say you would want an Academy striker up tops, that's just suicidal for our goals this season!

Kyle Lafferty and Jordan Jones for less than 1m seems decent to me

Kilmarnock may want to cash out on Jordan Jones If Rangers come in with a similar figure this time from the last bid in January

I would take both of them and a solid centre back and that will be job done

What you reckon guys?



21 Aug 2018 18:30:39
If we got laff and Jones I'd be well chuffed. Need another cb aswell. Jones sell on value down the line could treble any money spent on laff. Great business. Get it done. Let's Go.



20 Aug 2018 22:37:09
Watched the Ufa game online tonight and I’m now confident we will make the groupstage, They may have Made some changes to there side with Thursday night in mind, but they were outplayed at times against an average looking Dinamo Moscow. they also have the journey back from Moscow And Then to Scotland with a days less rest Than Us from Sunday. They played a back 5 and two strikers but big Katic and goldson should be comfortable enough.



21 Aug 2018 05:46:26
GraemeH never seen them play and all honesty never heard of them until this draw but I think Osijek were one of the hardest teams in the qualifying round (much better than Maribor) and after seeing us beat them we shouldn’t fear anybody in these qualifiers.



21 Aug 2018 08:54:33
Don't be fouled by FC Ufa I feel these guys are already trying to play mind games

There was never a doubt that the Visa was going to be done in time

Those two matches will be the making of Rangers season

As they say, better to be in all competitions than none

Steven Gerrards season has gone exceedingly well so far but there is a long way to go

If we get to the group stages then you have to say the early signs are there as Mr Gerrard doing decent job

There is also the domestic side, we will get an idea how good we are by seeing how the result pans out against Celtic

We will only be able to start to gauge how we are doing in the come after the New Year

Still needing a couple of players yet Preferably another centre back and striker please

I wouldn't mind some kind of creative midfielder as feel we don't have one at all

C'mon the Gers!



21 Aug 2018 09:35:34
Totally agree with Kaz on all points made need to keep momentum going get new singnings in won’t need to wait till new year l believe we’ve got them flapping already.



21 Aug 2018 10:27:19
I would say that Gerrard is doing more than a 'decent' job. The difference in our team is night and day to the last few years.



21 Aug 2018 10:27:55
I would probably say we need another winger now Murphy is out, especially if we make the group stages of the Europa league. Maybe a loan or something.



21 Aug 2018 11:02:09
Young Middleton could step up to the plate.



21 Aug 2018 11:53:23
Gerrard has done wonders with us, before going into the Osijek and Maribor games on seasons gone by they would have walked over us, the transition from then to now is just remarkable.



21 Aug 2018 11:54:03
Don't be fooled by UFA, they are a very tidy outfit with a big bank book. This will be a tough one.
Could have done without it just b4 a game against them.
But if we're playing at this level already, it kinda goes withe territory onward and upward.



21 Aug 2018 15:17:54
They’re staying in Moscow and flying from there so they don’t have a long journey nack.



21 Aug 2018 21:25:50
They had two or three of their top players resting for that
Game. they want this possibly more than us
As I see it uts win win fir us . We don’t go thru and the manky do they play catch up every Sunday. we do go thru we are flying.



20 Aug 2018 22:20:19
Any word on Coulibaly need his engine in midfield.



21 Aug 2018 10:59:42
I don’t think he will be risked on Thur and depending on result in first leg if he will at weekend.



20 Aug 2018 21:56:52
Don't know about you guys, but just what is going on with these negotiations, with kyle lafferty's proposed move to us? What's the big hold up? Like i said before, i feel we're wasting far too much time chasing lafferty!
I wish we would give hearts an ultimatum of 48 hours to either accept our final offer, of no more than 500k, imo, or pull out the deal altogether and go and sign another striker! I'm not a fan of bringing lafferty back anyway!



21 Aug 2018 00:34:10
Every other deal has been tied up pretty quick, I just think Rangers are reluctant to give 750k to Hearts for a 30 year old in the last year of his contract, considering Hearts track record with us regarding transfers. I can see why they’re not rushing but also agree we should get the deal done or just move on.



21 Aug 2018 05:51:08
I think unfortunately Murphy’s injury plays straight into Hearts hands as I am sure they will feel we will be desperate to bring in a forward player. I think Gerrard want Lafferty to play on the wing as his height can cause issues at the back post when Candieas or Tav etc put crosses into that area especially with the SPL defenders struggling to man up 1 on 1 with Morelos. Lafferty wasn’t my first choice but I can see how Gerrard see’s him fitting in.



21 Aug 2018 10:36:54
Just read a few articles on Miller being linked with Hearts, i wonder if his resignation the other day has anything to do with them, and if so, will we expect to now see some movement on Lafferty as they will want a replacement sorted themselves before the sanction his move. I don't believe Lafferty and his agent will be allowing Hearts to play hardball without at least one toy getting thrown from the pram. Something is imminent.



21 Aug 2018 13:13:45
Right we all know you don’t want Lafferty back Supercooper you tell us EVERYDAY. let's just remain patient and trust SG and MA. It’s what they think matters. For the record we have NOT confirmed a bid its Hearts doing all the talking not us.
