rangers wont sell jelavic for less than 12 million ally will get 2.5 million to spend no money for jelivic no signings

Believable3 Unbelievable8

12m! wakey wakey mate.half that probably and remember jella due 10% of the fee.we have no money and are staring into the abyss here.is it true ally's record the same as le guen? would you give him anything to spend after his last buys?

Agree2 Disagree5

And Vienna still due some money too

Agree2 Disagree3

Last installments was paid last year mate, do your homework.

Agree1 Disagree1

No chance of £12m, £8m max of which Ally will be lucky to get £2m.

Agree1 Disagree0

I cant see the Jellyfish go for less than £8m but equally no more than £10m.
When he was on fire at start of season with longer on contract he was potentially a £10m+ player but his form has dropped and if we get £8m I would be happy

safe to say neither of the OF will be getting anywhere near young Jordan Rhodes... His asking price just went sky high!

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Finally someone talks the truth here. graeme

Agree3 Disagree0

Ano 5 goals? Ad offer jelavic for him haha

Agree3 Disagree1

Noone was ever getting him, he is going to everton or maybe even Man u...i would be well pleased whatever is best for Scotland {Ed001's Note - or Spurs.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Everton have less money than us...

Agree1 Disagree0

He is no doubt a natural goalscorer...but in League 1, no way would Man U touch him, I think hes decent but he still has to prove himself at either a big club in Championship or relegation threatened Premiership side then if he bags them in Man U etc might consider it but get real hes not proved it yet at that level - it doesnt mean hes not capable just unproven.

The white boy in the t n t team at the last world cup. graeme

guys if were lookin for some good players in who would do a job is sandaza for his goals and movement and 2 wingers tempelton for his skill and sproule for his effort and if not 1 or both of them leigh griffiths and danny swanson what do u think

Believable2 Unbelievable9

I think they're all poor (not templeton) and we should be signig better.

Agree6 Disagree1

A can see your intentions mate but tbh it wouldnt be a great difference, our full team needs to be a bit shaper and more creative

Agree1 Disagree0

You not get griffiths as he on loan to hibs till end os season!!

Agree1 Disagree1

Players mentioned not good enough, i would rather go with reserve players to show them there is a future for good youngsters. Save any money we may have for a good major signing . Truth is we have been kept in the dark since Advocaat/Mcleish and we have no way of predicting just what the future may hold. However whatever we may face never forget the brave young men who formed our beloved club , and the magnificent history we have achieved. Our enemies gather ever closer drooling over our demise. Rangers family whatever happens we must unite like never before. Be READY when our football team needs us in whatever way we can help. In our darkest hour i would urge all supporters who claim to support our club, please stop goading the present first team who are representing the club, our club, your club, they are playing and have been playing in this uncertain limbo for years now as we the support have.We must show again what a passionate support we can be. We owe it to the team to lift them up , let them know we are right behind them ,if not why bother going. I was there in the good old days . Left home Friday night arrived home Sunday . Loved every minute and considered it my duty at a time when the enemy were top team in the country. So remember if not up for the fight stay away , never boo a Bear your doing the enemies job .

Highland Bear RANGER till i die .

F#ck me William Wallace is a bear!

We are all Highland bear.

Haha like the above post but fair enough highland bear its good to see some still have someone being positive for a change fed up with all the gash negitive posts you post is a bit nutty but i think we should all be doin the same fellow bears lets show mr whyte what glasgow rangers means to us let lift the lads to 4 in a row!

bumped into ryan stevenson (hearts player) today and according to him he has almost signed for glasgow rangers

Believable6 Unbelievable14

Don't tell lies why would he tell you this

Agree8 Disagree0

Considering on sky sports news paulo sergio has called him to pay his wages and add ons and is signing a new contract

Agree0 Disagree5

Where did you happen to bump into him?

would be a decent player for us

Agree3 Disagree2

Aw an you werent genius enogh to ask who else was APPARENTLY joining rangers

Agree4 Disagree0

The boy is a celtic fan just saying.

Agree1 Disagree4

To the guy who says he is signing a new contract. He's not. Sergio had hearts first interview in a whole and said he was coming back but for some reason decided against it at the last minute. Source the interview. For once someone can actually put..... FACT

Agree1 Disagree1

Ryan Stevenson has been paid but is still refusing to play.of all the players we've been linked with I think he would be one of the better ones.

Agree1 Disagree0

Ryan Stevenson is not a celtic fan he is intact a die hard aye united fan so check ur info punk before posting rubbish

why are a lot of rangers fans persistent on buying ex gers players back.

Believable7 Unbelievable6

I know absolute numpties at times living in the past man waken up

Agree6 Disagree5

We only sign back the people who were the people, we are the people lol!

Agree5 Disagree3

Because it's how to win the league

Agree2 Disagree3

If the bears lose jela ad recommend bringing in new players rather than players we already had n let go n wouldnt mind someone like jozy altidore to take jelas place tho.........

Agree3 Disagree2

I suppose it's because we used to be a better team than we are now, so signing old players would be an improvement. I know a lot of fans have the Utopian idea of us producing youngsters like Barcelona. A good youth system would work but if would take a long time to really produce great talents and I don't think most Rangers fans would accept second for the foreseeable future.

GovanFR

Agree4 Disagree1

Think bigger than ex Rangers and other Scottish club players. There are lots of players Rangers could get abroad for a fraction of the price of these players.

Agree1 Disagree0

Wasn't that what murray park was supposed to do and how long has rhat been going?

JGD

Agree2 Disagree1

Accept second ha ha ha that will be ur target for a long time

2 Hibs players will be joining Rangers. Garry O'Connor and Ivan Sproule with John Fleck going the other way.

Believable3 Unbelievable17

Can't see the sproule 1 being true m8 maybe O'connor at the most.

Agree2 Disagree5

Sproule always works hard down the wing, wouldn't be my choice of signing but wouldn't complain too much either.

Agree1 Disagree4

Sproule is a dud, Bit of pace and nothing else, O'Connor aint much better but may grab some goals if he can keep his head on his shoulders for more than a minute at a time, As for fleck going the other way, He is better than the pair of them put together. Not happenin. CamShaft

Agree4 Disagree1

A wid rather huv DES Oconner

Agree2 Disagree0

Sproule USED to have pace. Hibs fans think he's mince now and many would bite your hand off to swap fleck- don't talk pesh man.

Agree0 Disagree0

No matter what you guys say about Ivan Sproule he plays with for the shirt he is wearing ... being from Castlederg when he single handedly beat us at Ibrox knowing that he was putting a dent in his childhood heros title aspirations shows you the kind of pro that he is!! ... if we had 11 Ivan Sproules in our tean we certainly would not be playing catch up at this moment in time! .... but i still believe ... WATP .... in Ally I trust

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Jan 2012 18:08:30
why do people persist on mentioning weisse for us he did nothing but stand with a scarf at a game

Believable13 Unbelievable13

He had top assists in scotland is that doing
nothing dont think it is

Agree16 Disagree5

Did he not think quick and play the assist to jelavic in the cup final.

Agree13 Disagree3

Apart from Naismith and Lafferty what players did we have that actually got forward after Miller left? Not many except for Weiss. Ness and Fleck get forward but never get played

06 Jan 2012 18:01:38
McCoist has held talks with the chairman and says Whyte is in agreement that new players must be recruited over the next few weeks.
He said: "I sat down and had a good chat with Craig. He is of the same opinion as myself.
"There has not been an exact figure in terms of how much cash we have to spend or what we need to do.
why does he not no how much cash he has got or what he needs two do he is the manager he should demand answers on the figure he has got an no wat two do way it

Believable3 Unbelievable8

No point letting other teams know how much you got

Agree5 Disagree2

He does know . he just cant say publicly he has nowt

Agree6 Disagree3

He could let them know how much if he wanted to really get a player in, ally is shooting himself in his golden boots by not coming over as more in control iin his interviews, he is the one in the firing line after all.
all we bears want is to know if were gonna get some players in or not?
it,s not rocket science if were not were not.
but stop tagging us along ffs?

Agree2 Disagree4

It is good keeping ur budget too our selfs but what's wrong with naming some targets let the fans know what we are looking at? Any1 agree or disagree ?

Agree3 Disagree11

Fans will just have to accept that Rangers are skint "NO MONEY" Ally will do what he can, but remember one can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear, there will be no top strikers from Europe or even the Championship in England we just can't afford them, lets get real lads "we are the people" Sproule and O'Connor will get goals, they are not world class but they'll do?

Agree6 Disagree4

He knows we have no time we all woke up whyte is taking us for ride

Agree0 Disagree0

No. Hibs Players joining Rangers ?!?!

Agree1 Disagree0

Budget and targets should be kept quiet am afraid...
You don't want other teams knowing your budget or they'll push and push for mare cash.
And if your having financial difficulties like us it would be smart to keep targets quiet to avoid competition from richer clubs and losing a good chance.
Eg... Goodwillie, conway etc...
Sorry but how the f**k was that not obvious to some people?

Agree5 Disagree0

The fans are fed up cause all this talking an budgets should have been sorted for the window opening an got our targets in quick before we drop more points deals should be getting done now

Agree2 Disagree0

I agree look what hapened in the summer ally was in the papers sayin e was interested in this person n that person n all that happened was they signed for
Other teams. I believe we should keep it quiet untill weve at least had talks with a player.

Big D

Agree1 Disagree0

They have to wait and see how much money they can squeeze out for their "prize assets" before they know how much they have to spend!!

Agree0 Disagree1

06 Jan 2012 17:20:19
Not a rumour, but with everyone in agreement that wee need a bit of dig in midfield surely a better option than black is to try n get kevin thomson back even on loan, doesnt seem to feature at boro or is he still injured!!!!

Believable1 Unbelievable12

Injured

Agree8 Disagree2

He made his comeback from injury last week

Agree5 Disagree0

Or Barry Ferguson

Agree4 Disagree12

Would take Barry back no problem just for his leadership alone he will kick a few arses

Agree6 Disagree7

Our midfield is booring enough without barry ferguson thank you very much

Agree3 Disagree2

Stuff that his attitude alone brought the club down. hes had his time.

Agree3 Disagree1

Why not just give Hutton & Ness a run in the team rather than sending them on loan?

Can we stop with the rumours about Hearts players. If all the rumours come true we will have half the hearts team and just cause Sutton is realised by Hearts doesnt's mean he will automatically go to Rangers.

Believable10 Unbelievable2

06 Jan 2012 15:13:14
'' reports are suggesting sasa papac is to leave rangers at the end of the season'' (e.times). also if rangers receive more than 1m offer for edu then we may have no option but to sell. coisty says he badly wants to keep edu- this worries me that our manager rates edu so highly and its silly decisions like this that will cost ally dearly(hope i'm wrong!)

Believable4 Unbelievable13

It's just cos we have no fit players

Agree3 Disagree2

A) Edu is a good player. Support your team ffs.

B) Ally McCoist said he didn't expect Sochaux to make a 2nd bid for Edu because they were " so far away from rangers' valuation "

That means it won't be £1m as sochaux bid £500k

Agree12 Disagree2

Read what whyte has said and you can work out the higher earners are available for transfer and will be replaced by inferior players or more likely youth players . i can see an end of the rangers we know arriving.

Agree4 Disagree6

You clearly don't know a good player when u see one. edu like so many at ibrox simply aren't up to it. him and mcculloch are shocking in midfield. look across the other side of the city- it pains me to say this but they have a midfield which is strong and creative-everything we're not!we rely too much on davis who blows hot and cold. what other options are there?

Agree5 Disagree3

Edu is minse

Agree2 Disagree4

A) Wrong B) Correct. Ally likely rates him at 4M or mo, considering his ankles hang out his bum.

Agree0 Disagree2

Edu is a funny one, I can see him developing into a good midfielder, he does give the ball away on too many occasions but he is a worker and his performances have been improving - think he could come good & he is worth alot more than 500k. I would say at least 2mill given his age & experience

Agree4 Disagree1

Edu is a decent midfielder he stands out cause he works hard on pitch and he would be better if having 2 fast creative midfielders supporting him

Agree3 Disagree0

Edu better than numpties like you think!

Agree3 Disagree1

Edu is one of rangers best players so many people under rate him , he is a far better player than Barry ferguson who was praised to the high heavens , there's no longer days of gazza and albertz so don't compare the current crop to what we will never have again the guy is determined and a hard grafter give him a break , would people like him more of he sung the sash and shouted about how much he loved rangers over twitter

Agree2 Disagree1

People need to stop blaming Edu. He hasn't been brilliant but he hasn't been terrible either. Steven Davis has been worse than him this season but because he's from Northern Ireland he gets away with.

Agree3 Disagree1

Edu has been the best mid all season, hope he stays

Agree4 Disagree1

Sceptic may have a better midfield in your opinion but how many medals do they have? Not as many as McCulloch, Edu & Davis put together so its not just about being a good player its how to grind out results and sometimes win ugly.
Edu may be poor on the ball but at least he is giving 100%, lay off the guy and support whoever is wearing the jersey. McCulloch I agree has had his day but if Ally picks him then I will support him. As for Davis he is by far the best midfielder we have but is having to do a lot of work which is hampering his performances, he cant be expected to do everything in midfield.

The Pilot!

If Boyd, Weiss, Templeton and Sandaza are available at a reasonabale cost and RFC can afford them - why not? {Ed014's Note - Weiss is NOT available.

Believable3 Unbelievable8

Why aint Weiss available ed? {Ed014's Note - He is on a season long loan deal.That is a binding contract.

Agree3 Disagree1

Why do people go on and on about weiss. whenever i watched him he flattered to deceive!

Agree6 Disagree8

Copius litres of Buckfast is available at you're local cornershop, why not? In fact please do

Agree3 Disagree1

Because he put on a rangers scarf ,jumped about in the crowd and declared his love for rangers. some people are easily swayed.

Agree3 Disagree4

Some fans are so easy swayed its unbelievable ... He's a blue nose playing sunday league he cold do a job for us, get Weiss he loves rangers, get smith I once recall he wore rangers shirt!! 10 years time fans will still want Weiss as he is a 'blue nose'

Agree5 Disagree2

Why aint Weiss available ed? {Ed014's Note - He is on a season long loan deal.That is a binding contract

ed no its not, plenty of people have went on loan for what was supposed to be a season and came back 6 months later for various reasons {Ed001's Note - only if a fee has not been paid for the loan period, once one has been paid, both clubs would have to agree to a loan being terminated.}

Agree2 Disagree4

06 Jan 2012 14:54:29
I was just on weiss's twitter page there and that boy has turned in to a die hard Gers fan i would love to see him back and i know he wants back would the bears on here like weiss back?
WATP
BIG CRAIG {Ed014's Note - Ally obviously doesn't.

Believable16 Unbelievable3

Lets not kid on here if he was on loan at celtic he would be the same with them! didnt really do enough for me n it seems ally thinks the same,so unless he does an alouko theres no chance

Agree4 Disagree6

If he rates edu and not weiss i have soem serious doubts about his managerial abilities :)

Agree9 Disagree3

Mccoist wanting the player had nothign to do with it at all the fact that man city still wanted us to pay his wages was the reason his move was never contemplated by gers.

Ally McCoist has said that he wants Sasa Papac to commit his future to Rangers.

The Bosnian left-back is out of contract at the end of this season and reports have linked him with a Bosman move away from Rangers.

"I was disappointed to hear that and I won't let that go without a fight,” McCoist said.

"Sasa has been here for a good number of years now and he is just a top player, a very, very good footballer.

"I don't want to be in the business of not retaining the services of good footballers.”

The Rangers manager said that he was planning to speak to papac and hoped to be in a position to persuade him to sign a new deal.

"I would hope we could talk him into staying,” he said.

“He has only signed for a year and I'm aware that we will have to get moving on that one."

Blue bells are blue

Believable9 Unbelievable0

Dissapointed to hear that! what the hells goin on? you would think ally would have known who was coming out of contract and dealt with this.papac,edu,mcmillan you think they know something we dont?

Agree2 Disagree0

I want Papac to stay, he's such a good player as well as being reliable. He's mostly associated with being consistent but some of his play is fantastic and he gets better as he gets older.

Agree7 Disagree0

Pretty certain that Papac aint allowed to sign any longer than a 1 year deal due to insurance purposes with the plate in his head ?

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2012 14:48:04
My dad is a taxi driver and he recently picked up Bob Malcolm's dad. He was telling him that big Bob is amazed Mckay is not getting a game over here as he is regarded as a superstar in Oz and recognised as a class above everyone else. Is there something we are missing as this seems to be the common opinion and makes you wonder why he isn't playing?

Believable18 Unbelievable0

Mckay is leaving rangers to return to brisbane(100% true)-will read about it in next few days!

Agree2 Disagree11

Must be in-house issues or some sort of problem Ally has with him. Convenient speculation but I reckon he'd have to drop Edu or Jig and he won't do that cus they are his pals.

Agree7 Disagree4

Can't believe he hasn't got a chance yet. The midfield has been terrible for weeks yet McCoist still sticks with the same players. Time for a shake up.

Agree3 Disagree0

A might be wrong mate but am sure a heard that mckay had personal problems to deal with so was given some timeout?

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jan 2012 14:34:09
With Papac set to leave in the summer, I think we should set our sights on McGowan of Hearts this transfer window and allow him to settle into the team before next season. Looks like a cracking young player

Believable8 Unbelievable1

I thought he played very well against us this season.

Agree2 Disagree1

Was wallace not bought with papac coming to the end of his rangers career in mind?
j1985

Agree8 Disagree0

Good player but i cant see this happening there seems to be a real financial storm brewing going by whytes latest comments.looks like players have to be moved out to free wages

Agree1 Disagree3

J1985 but if papac leaves then who would cover if wallace gets a long term injury ?

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we should look at all the scottish talent out there just now on minimal fees/free! could have had miller back same is going to happen with kris boyd go in when its to late and as for all the hearts players ie Black,Stevenson,Driver small fees would get them half mill each!! but suppose if cant afford allan from DU we wont get any of them either i would sell 6/7 players to get black,stevenson,driver murray davidson and kris boyd in get rid of jelavic edu weir mcculloch mckay and ortiz get some heart and soul back into the middle of the park!! Any1 Agree!!!

Ian blacks advisors are in talks with gordon smith first signing of 2012 to be be completed by Monday

Me and my brother were talking about Ian black coming to rangers and we both agreed that he is a dirty player we don't need that at rangers he was the one that Jelavic out for the rest of the year in his first season remember?

A hope not he is nothing but a thug that likes to cause injury!
WATP
BIG CRAIG

We need an enforcer, Edu's a wimp and Big Lees a wannabe hardman.

Scumtic have/had Kayal, a thug, and he gets away with murder, we could do with steel in the midfield.
BF

Agree4 Disagree2

I wouldn't mind seeing black at rangers, he would do a job in midfield and give us a bit of bite. No offence to Mcculloch but he's lost that yard its easy to see every time he plays.

Agree6 Disagree3

Agreed! this gut isnt a player he's a thug who goes studs up in every tackle making him a liability to his team

Agree4 Disagree4

We could do with somebody that put in a tackle.

Agree6 Disagree1

I agree we need someone that will put a tackle in but I don't think Black is capable of making legal tackles

Jelavic is fit and will travel to Arbroath

Broadfoot & Perry out

RFC Website

Blue bells are blue

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Was hoping Jela would be left out. We seemed a bit more interested without him against Motherwell.

Agree5 Disagree1

Pery s one of the very ew descent young players that we have. why would we get rid of him?

Agree3 Disagree1

Who said we were getting rid of him?

Agree3 Disagree0

Think he means injured for the trip to Arbroath.

Thank goodness, no Broadfoot cost us 4 goals so far this season.

steve lomas says that he doubts rangers could even afford sandaza if we cant afford a st johnstone player then who can we afford

Believable3 Unbelievable6

Steve who? What does he knows. about Rangers? Answer Nothing!

Agree5 Disagree1

Steve Lomas - the St Johnstone manager who played for Manchester city, West Ham and QPR.

All big clubs son!

He obviously thinks Sandaza is capable of playing at a big club/earning more than rankers can afford.

DazzaBhoy

Agree3 Disagree4

Bullsh*t ... Rangers can offer 10 times the wages st johnstone can ... not that they would for such a mediocre player.

Agree3 Disagree0

I agree, of course we can offer way more than st johnstone..whittaker has been given a bumper deal and he's a zoomer...rangers have money they just dont wanna waste it until we find the results of the tax case

Agree1 Disagree0

What i meant was Lomas obviously thinks Sandaza will head south, and that neither rankers or celtic can afford him.

Lomas is trying to make out he's better than SPL level.

DazzaBhoy

06 Jan 2012 14:07:24
Any truth in what I read that Bartley has a clause that says he should make appearances regardless of his form, or the form of others ? This being every time he is fit !.... ( read on Rangers media ) Also saw that Jelavic is fit for Sunday and has trained this week. Team for Sunday ?.....

Met boydy in breahead last night and asked him about coming home to Ibrox he said " it's the ideal situation for me" but he also said he couldn't really say anything about it.

Are we all forgetting about Vladimir Weiss? Him and novo unstoppable in the attacking area

Believable12 Unbelievable14

Are you forgetting the only bit of skill Weiss could do was at the halfway line?

Agree8 Disagree12

Who for Gijon, as far as I know Novo is still playing for them and has stated unlikely to leave until summer ... so why dont you go and post utter nonsense on Sporting Gijon page

Agree5 Disagree2

I would take weiss back no problem, but we wont sign anyone of any calibre cause we cant afford a happy meal far less a decent player remember aluko had to pay aberdeen so he could play for us ffs??

Agree7 Disagree3

Pointless post novo already said hes stayin and weiss on season long loan at espanyol which they paid a loan fee so dont think anyone else can come in for him

Agree3 Disagree0

To the second poster.....Are you forgetting every team put two men on him, and when he got the ball, The rest of the rangers team wouldn't support him. Everytime Weiss had a successful run, he was playing 1-2's and playing fast, short passes. You can't stick him on the wing and not support him, which is what happened.

Watch aluko, he always has support, to allow him to recieve dribble, pass and move quickly...weiss never had that luxury.

I'd love to see him back

I remember him from the 2002/6? World cup he plays for trinidad and Tobago at the time he played for port vale and scored some crazy goals but I don't rate him too highly tbh

Do you really remember or has Wikipedia and YouTube aided you're BS here?

Played for st mirren as well

The gaffer says that Chris Birchall is a player we are aware of, but it is not something we are persuing at this time.

I must admit, I despise Black, as he isn't a footballer, or a thug...he's a wannabe hardman...But the McCulloch comment isn't wrong.
I must say though, McCulloch is just Sh*te and fouls come from being clumsy or slow...but Black intentionally goes out to icause injuries to players from every opposition

Looks like jelavic is defo goin no

Mr Whyte the money to help clear
Some debt and look at bringin in wee
Novo Boyd (both been over the course)A
and O'Connor or someone with a bit
Of presence up front to help Boyd? To
me it sounds like the best we're gona
get! Also av heard that O'Connor
Is the most likely of all! But we need
at least 3 forward players in if we're to
lose jelavic..... Don't slate super ally
he needs our support! Any manager
would struggle with no strikers! WATP

What debt?.As far as i was aware we are debt free. Tax case is ongoing.

CJM

Agree10 Disagree6

Would agree to try and bring boyd back. he could be difference between drawing and beating the smaller clubs at least.

Agree5 Disagree3

We are not debt free, craig whyte will not pay this off until after tax case is settled and a clear picture of our finances can be understood.

To the main point, how can you state "Don't slate super ally, any manager would struggle with no strikers"?

The crisis has only just happened and we have not played a bloody game yet so anything in the past: there was no striker crisis!

Agree3 Disagree2

Ally is trying to fight with one hand behind his back, give him time he will come good.

Agree2 Disagree3

Need 3 to replace Jelavic? Are SPL hoing to allow us to field 13 player now? What use is 3 to replace when we can only play one?

Agree3 Disagree0

Well its happened bears.mr whyte"there is no scope for negotiations with HMRC and even if we appeal they could push for enforcement"this guy is a joke and unless he's got some masterplan that no tax accountants ever heard of were into admin eventually.it looks like he's following his usual course of running companys down to re-scale and start again.i find it hard to believe so many bears still think this is gonna be allright wake up guys! unless whyte has 50m to spend on us were in trouble,a fire sale beckons in the summer i would think then a full scale re-build with much reduced wages and transfer budgets for years to come.do you think any players advisors would point them at ibrox? i also heard last night this is why edu hasnt signed new offer. blue.

BAD NEWS : We are £18m in debt.
GOOD NEWS : The debt is owed to Mr Whyte and he will rule out the debt if we win the tax case.

I preferred his nickname..Dr Death

Love the big guy, and if he does go, I wish him all the best.... Although he has been on record many times saying his family love scotland and it would be hard to uproot them. Hopefully Wallace has been learning from him and we will have a ready made replacement.

i have from good sources that the tax issue will all be done and dusted before the end of this transfer window, but sadly this will be because we will sell jela, macgregor and davis for large fees giving us the clout to agree a deal with the hmrc.

No deal with taxman ever going to happen,why cant rangers fans get there head round this craig whyte has said so

Rangers and HMRC cannot reach an agreement over the tax penalty. It will be HMRC who decide the penalty and Rangers will have the right to appeal. Mr Whyte has said so himself.

Ian black would be a quality signing , proper hard defender that we have been missing for Years , twice the player edu is twice the hardmAn mculloch could ever be

He's also a scumbag, not a ranger

Agree15 Disagree4

And twice as s***e.

Agree13 Disagree4

Haha idiot hardman ye course he is he's 3 ft

Agree8 Disagree3

And a dirty, dirty animal who shouldn't wear a football shirt nevermind a Rangers one. His tackles are like carcrashes.

Agree10 Disagree3

Ian black is never in 1`million years a gers player

Agree12 Disagree2

Black is a wee t*t, and not that good all he does is run aboot and kick people all day. Resulting in getting sent off leaving the team in trouble. Would like somebody with that style of play but just a better footballer.

Agree10 Disagree2

I agree black would be a good signing for a midfield bully, good work rate ,would put a bit of fear into opposition,and he can play a bit

Agree2 Disagree11

Black, are you mental. He's an animal.

Would never have him near a Rangers Jersey.

Bebop

Agree9 Disagree2

Black's "no nonsense" tackling style sometimes verges on the outright violent.
He'd be unavailable through suspension half of the time.

Agree9 Disagree2

He's not a Hardman, Black is a sh*te bag, and an animal.

I would hate to see that man play in a rangers jersey. He feigns injury when challenging in a 50-50 and only tackles players from the back....usually aiming for their achilles. I am not saying this because of the Jelavic tackle but i have witnessed him do this in almost every game i have saw him play...

I think it was Paddy McCourt who was on the deck that he lunged at 2 footed at parkhead last season.

If he was twice the player Edu is then surely he must have got an international cap or two....of wait....

Cant believe people would have this guy in their team.

rikkisixx

Agree8 Disagree1

Ian Black shouldn't even be in football. The guys a total animal. Jelavic found that out last season first hand. Lasley at Motherwell was on the recieving end of another shocking tackle a while back. That's just 2 incidents that spring to mind. Hardman!! More like a wee ned. He has no control of his aggression and that makes him a liability.
J1985

Agree8 Disagree1

You are kidding. Ian Black is little more than a thug and the fans won't forgive him for chopping Jelavic last season. Ian Black has a quarter of the workrate and ability of Mo Edu and isn't even as skillful as big Lee, who would kill Ian Black in a square go.

Agree8 Disagree1

Is black not a defensive MIDFIELDER lol?
lol

Agree5 Disagree1

Black would be a great signing imo . To succeed in the scottish game you have to be a tough tackler ! in the professional game and even at any under level . And this is what black is a no nonsense midfielder ! would certainly do a geat job at a sitting midfielder

Mark ;)

Agree1 Disagree12

Kyle Hutton is a far better passer/ tackler and with a run of games could be the next big Murray park player

Agree12 Disagree1

We need bite in midfield and i don't see many better in scotland than black. Craig Whyte could also get him doing some paint jobs round the stadium. lol

CJM

Agree1 Disagree6

Ian blacks a muppet.imagine a pro coming out and saying that he had to work painting and decorating to give his family a good xmas.i kno hearts players' wages were late but surely this guy earns at the least 2k a week? most of us dont get that a month.come back to reality black and save us the sh*te.never a ranger,not on his best day,thug and a muppet.

To succeed in the scottish game you need a tough tackling midfielder??

so who was our tough tackling midfielder over the past 3 seasons that we've won the league? pedro mendez, steve davis, edu??.....

Well said J1985... a good response to the stereotypical Scottish view on the game.

4-4? was it not 6-6? a remember watching that game i actually celebrated the goal lmaoo

QUOTE

Assembly meeting with Chairman Craig Whyte -

No scope for negotiating a settlement with HMRC due to the criticism they have had from MPs and the Media about some high-profile "deals". That means the case could take even more time to resolve as any outcome is likely to be appealed by either party.

Agree0 Disagree0

Whi is tax case taking so long hmrc should have a figure, no one has disclosed, rangers this is what you must pay, if whyte doesnt agree with it then he has right to appeal the amount and put his case forward then it gets reviewed and final decision made, this is about 2 years this has been going on for and think whyte would at least come out and say what is happening think fans deserve that at least, if still not sorted for summer do people buy season tickets if club may not be there, the whole thing is a farce by hmrc,rangers and whyte

Believable11 Unbelievable4

Like a lot of our left backs, good steady pros, unsung heroes good player papac

Agree12 Disagree2

I hope not

Agree7 Disagree3

Papac signs 1 year extensions with rangers at the end of each season based on his current condition. As he was in a car crash as a youngster and has had problems with headaches all his career and takes it season by season.

I was really worried in last seasons old firm game when he took a bullet shot straight on the head to clear it off the line (even though they scored the rebound). He was crumpled in a heap and had to go off

Agree4 Disagree0

I heard they are going to give him a new contract. Few players in modern football possess the skill, artistry, guile, craft of Sasa Papac.

Agree4 Disagree3

I found it strnage we signed Lee Wallace when we have Sasa. Dont get me wrong Lee Wallace is a great player but I think it gives Ally a problem choosing the LB position. Wallace is not a winger

He has been told to find another club and Rangers want him well suppose to and what time he supports means not a thing just look at Scott Brown was a die hard Blue Nose even has unionjack tat and is now MR,Celtic as i gather he wants to stay in scotland because he will still be close to his family and Rangers his option so lets hope David Cooper Templton is a gers player come 1feb

If he goes were the money is rangers have no chance tbh it does matter if I was a player and rangers offerd me a deal I would rather play for east Stirling would be the answer lol but of course that's why I am not a player he will if he has to move there is sunderland or Newcastle not to far away from home

Agree6 Disagree3

Scott brown was not a blue bottle he was a Gretna fan lol well almost the same as rangers

Agree4 Disagree8

I hate this drivel about I know this player to be a diehard such and such and he won't play for this team, can you honestly tell me if Celtic wanted to pay you a few grand a week you'd tell them where to go, don't think so

Andy

Agree0 Disagree0

Players dont give 2 hoots about who pays their wages, his fathers a rangers fan, he supported celtic as rest of his mums family did so but at end of day the words maurice johnston, kenny miller should tell anyone guys play to be paid decent salaries, hes a good player and he will go to whoever pays him the most and gives him best deal, cos as i rangers fan I would have played for celtic if they came in and offered me a deal, most players do nowadays
