Rangers Rumours

07 Aug 2022 16:20:35
Rangers apparently looking at Cambridge United Goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov, any truth.

07 Aug 2022 20:35:14
Think they would only be looking at him if mccrorie was going out on loan.

07 Aug 2022 21:41:25
All hopes of getting a new keeper died with that new Allan McGregor contract.

07 Aug 2022 21:50:45
Yup posted this last week.

08 Aug 2022 09:29:03
Heard some chat, not from anyone in anyway connected to the club, that we have a few loan offers for McCrorie - however we'd prefer him to move to a higher level than the current suitors.

We're still keen on Ozer, but won't move until we can secure an acceptable move for McCrorie.

Also hearing, from within the club, that we're looking at another young American from Germany as a potential replacement for Sakala.

08 Aug 2022 13:18:46
EHL2020 if its bozer that plays in Germany he is now training with bayern munich.

08 Aug 2022 13:23:42
Let’s hope that young American is Gio Reyna 🤣🤣🤣.

08 Aug 2022 17:40:09
Kirkcaldy you are getting mixed up with the CH we were interested in EHL is 100% correct he is talking about the Turkish GK awe were reported to be in for.

08 Aug 2022 18:21:22
Ozer is the Turkish goalkeeper we were allegedly interested, present without a club

Bazoer is Dutch ch. signed three year deal with Az alkmar last week

Fraisal schalke goalie we were allegedly interested training with Bayern.

08 Aug 2022 19:02:31
Absolutely no chance of Reyna coming to us we still need an out an out number 9 there's still something lacking up top when Alfie is not playing.

08 Aug 2022 19:19:16
RenfrewBlue - if only! Reyna looks like he has one hell of a future at the very top of the game.

If true, hope they turn out to be half as exciting a prospect as Tillman looks. although, appreciate it's only been a couple of games.

08 Aug 2022 21:23:17
We only need a new nine if we can get roofe off books otherwise we are stuck with what we have. Sakala in a pinch is not too bad for third option.

08 Aug 2022 21:41:37
I agree gofor we don’t need a new 9.

06 Aug 2022 07:42:52
As usual you look to have good info John26,
as i heard late last night also, that ryan kent has a problem with him metatarsal 🤔Hope to god not🙏 but time will tell 🤔.

06 Aug 2022 10:03:10
We need a back up lw it was obvious on Tuesday.

06 Aug 2022 10:36:16
Matondo bassey1.

06 Aug 2022 10:57:29
He’s a starter on the right wing no a back up left winger lol.

06 Aug 2022 11:10:54
Scott Wright?

06 Aug 2022 11:17:52
Bassey majority off games in Belgium on the left
., not withstanding that sakala kent Lawrence Tillman
Can play there.

We simply can’t buy a player every time someone gets a short term injury.

06 Aug 2022 11:19:47
Matondo has played more games as a LW than a RW.

06 Aug 2022 11:31:19
Ryan Kent is expected to be back after suffering a small knock v Livingston and Morelos is in the squad as GVB wants to give him some minutes but could be on the bench.

06 Aug 2022 12:06:24
Kent is injured Wright is ok but not really good enough Lawrence is more a number 10 along with tilleman. We wasted aribo and hagi seasons gone out that wing we need natural wingers.

06 Aug 2022 12:07:30
John we have Wright Kent and rabbi 3 actually wingers in our team should be at least 4 so we have 2 for each side nothing Regardless a Kent’s injury.

06 Aug 2022 12:16:01
If Kent is out i would start either Sakala or Lawrence on left.
Tillman or Lawrence in the 10 and Wright or Matondo on Right.

06 Aug 2022 12:21:36
At a push you could also look at using yilmaz or Barisic in a more attack minded role.

06 Aug 2022 12:36:54
I'd go with mclaughlin, tav, goldson, Davies, yilmaz, lundstrum, arfield tillman, matondo, sakala, colak. Tillman and arfield playing as central mids in front of lun, sakala and matonda to stick to the wings and get some runs behind for cut backs or crosses.

06 Aug 2022 12:39:00
Play barisic LW best crosser we have with Ridvan LB that’s what I would do.

06 Aug 2022 12:49:52
Hope you're right Copland.

06 Aug 2022 12:57:29
Bassey Sakala best games for us have been playing lw.

06 Aug 2022 13:09:41
Hahahahahah Barisic LW that’s madness.

06 Aug 2022 13:10:41
John 26- sakala doesn't look like he's in squad today. just left stadium in his civi clothes and drove away. is he injured or you recon he could be away.

06 Aug 2022 13:19:40
Bassey, sakala is a winger in his interview he says Gio won’t look to play him as a striker.

06 Aug 2022 13:40:13
Can always play morelos and colak with Lawrence in behind and go 3-5-2. Still have plenty of options. Agree we can’t buy someone just because a player gets injured but still feel we lack something in midfield a box to box player, that can add goals and a bit of creativity. And once we get rid of roofe and sakala we can get a striker in. I’d imagine that would be us.

06 Aug 2022 14:43:05
A don’t think gio rates sakala hasn’t got a sniff recently if he could keep his shots down he would be god.

06 Aug 2022 15:06:40
Scotty i'm glad your no the manager then. that's a horrible shout.

06 Aug 2022 17:12:04
Sakala all day long if Kent out Scot Wright or arfield on right side we will nee she graft.

06 Aug 2022 17:36:17
Arfield is never a winger come on waste of a jersey playing him there he’s a centre mid.

06 Aug 2022 18:55:32
Gio just said on radio kent will hopefully be there on Tuesday 😂.

06 Aug 2022 23:22:30
Bassey,i'msure Scott wright started his career in the right wing, Kent has kept him out that right wing position,i'msure I heard or read that, mate, could be getting muddled up, old age doesn’t come along lol.

06 Aug 2022 23:22:44
Alone.

07 Aug 2022 07:30:43
Kent plays on the left mate not the right.

07 Aug 2022 11:47:17
Stormtrooper, I meant to say Scott wright started his football as a left winger, but he can’t get the jersey off Kent,

07 Aug 2022 18:46:18
😂😂 sorry bud.

07 Aug 2022 20:29:52
I’m hoping Kent is fit as we have a far better chance of turning this tie around with him rather than without. If he doesn’t make it I’d be going with Matondo on the left as he likes to hug the touchline and this stops Tav from being able to make deep driving runs, we need the the RW to make runs infield like Wright has clearly started to do.

07 Aug 2022 22:33:46
Stormtrooper, cool mate, no probs, cheers ✌️.

05 Aug 2022 12:54:44
Been told today hadjuk back in for katic. Circa 1 million euros.

Interest in Simpson, league one and Kelly.

05 Aug 2022 13:13:09
Great news John, hopefully we us the funds to bring in someone of quality. Any news on a new Keeper. As you know I feel that this will be our weak link this season if we have to rly on McLaughlin.

05 Aug 2022 13:16:03
I read an interview from Katic himself recently. He said he enjoyed his time on loan. Maybe this is one we can actually shift.

I did hope we would be able to sell Helander now and get some of that transfer fee back - He was an expensive buy back in the day. However, I doubt there’s any interest in him. I can see Helander playing out the year and leaving for free next summer.

05 Aug 2022 13:30:58
Berkshire the three will leave, I don’t see us making many millions. I’d say around 2.

Ozer was in frame, however McGregor resigned, I personally don’t see panic for another goalie.

Verdant can’t see anyone buying helander, I’m sure he won’t get new deal, roofe and sakala may get us good money in this window or next.

Kamara is the one imo.

05 Aug 2022 13:37:33
Any news about Sakala or Roofe going john? I think one of these two could yet leave this window.

05 Aug 2022 14:02:42
Correct - Hadjuk never stopped being interested, they just couldn't afford him. But they have now just sold two players for £4M and can invest around £500,000+ on Katic. He'll go there 100%.

05 Aug 2022 14:03:23
Mark. I think we hope to move both on.

05 Aug 2022 14:44:08
If Kamara and Roofe went, any possible names being considered?

05 Aug 2022 14:45:52
Mark44,

Sakala has apparently turned down the opportunity to go out on loan at 3 different clubs. He’s determined to stay at Rangers and break into the first-team regular.

05 Aug 2022 15:10:00
Verdant correct, he won’t be part of squad soon.

05 Aug 2022 15:29:04
Rfcrb I agree.

05 Aug 2022 15:34:30
KP I believe Olaru is in the frame.

05 Aug 2022 16:17:18
Thanks John, getting these guys of the payroll will be a benefit. I wish I had your confidence in our goalkeeping Department. As you know I just don't rate McLaughlin.

05 Aug 2022 16:58:21
Berkshire u only tell us ten times a day.

05 Aug 2022 17:00:02
Thanks John
From what I’ve seen, Olaru would be upgrade on Kamara.

05 Aug 2022 17:49:44
KP most definitely imo.

05 Aug 2022 18:17:36
You don’t rate JM BB i don’t think anyone on here new that mate 😂.

05 aug 2022 19:26:16
bb please mate, its incessant just like ross wilson last season

we know you don't like the keeper
there no need to say it 20 times a day mate.

06 Aug 2022 03:22:31
Is it just me or are we sleep walking into the same defensive problems as last year . helander injury prone souttar injury prone katic looks to be off Simpson off our cover at back starting to look a bit thin.

06 Aug 2022 07:10:36
John out of curiosity who do you prefer as number one at our club

I think McGregor should have retired, I actually don’t know if JM is a rangers number one but willing to give him a go he is better with ball at his feet and coming off his line but McGregor is the better shot stopper.

I would love to see the young boy RMc get some game time do you know if he is going to go out on loan I know he only played a couple of times a while back but I was impressed with the games he played in.

06 Aug 2022 11:15:16
I 100% support McLaughlin, I believe McGregor should have retired. Imo McLaughlin has earned his opportunity to be a 1.
Re Mccrorie I’m told we want him to stay, as it creates an issue for Europe. Mccrorie wants game time.
If Gio throws McLaughlin under a bus, it finishes his rangers career for ever.
McGregor has arthritis issues, can’t see him here next season although I have predicted Xmas.
Suddenly we need three goalkeepers, b careful what we wish for.

Bring in ozer Develop him, then it’s a fight for one next season. Many right of guy from Cambridge, this in actual fact would be a smart move if we get Mccrorie out for game time at a high level.

06 Aug 2022 17:22:45
Do you guys not think it might be better to keep hold of sakala with the way matondo played v union? .

07 Aug 2022 18:00:40
Gofor, yes but he will go after that game or by Xmas window
That’s nothing to do with matondo for me, that’s Alf getting muscle type injury which is very common after a long lay off.

08 Aug 2022 17:52:39
Gofor we can just go off one game with matondo.

08 Aug 2022 19:35:49
Not off him just in case he doesn't do it in home leg good to have the other option personally I'd go with the graft of Wright at the starta. d use matondo pace later in the game they are going to be sitting in and hitting on break at 2 nil up so pace might be useless again.

04 Aug 2022 21:15:17
Following mcatee to Sheffield Utd I'm told we r no longer interested in any city players.
City definitely not letting Palmer go on loan.

04 Aug 2022 22:18:30
We’ll see how Haaland is doing later in the window and if form not picked up we should move for a loan deal🤔.

04 aug 2022 22:25:53
we have enough players, making them a team is now the main thing, although i would have liked a poacher style player and i prefer greegs to jm, i'm happy with what we have, coaching is now the key, although i wouldn't be surprised if a surprise popped up.

04 Aug 2022 23:13:56
Tom two in yet.

04 Aug 2022 23:34:12
As long as morelos isn't sold TT12 🙏.

05 Aug 2022 04:25:54
Is that cause.2 are out 🙈.

05 Aug 2022 06:31:16
I’d say kind off. Sakala, Barisic Kamara all possibilities.

05 Aug 2022 07:06:51
I would definitely say John need another striking option another bulldog strong type like morelos, who would and can come back into mid win the ball, and take it past defenders hold it up for our
players and make chances for themselves not just relying on feed from wingers and midfielders as and when teams do park up need option who can unlock it morelos can, aribo could.

05 Aug 2022 07:06:58
Good info John I do believe we need a new goalkeeper in desperately, surely mcgregor only received new contract so he can mentor a new younger keeper coming in. Any other reason for his renewal doesn't stand up.

05 aug 2022 07:26:45
hope you’re right john, a poacher is what i want, if there’s a keeper then he must be no, 1,, kamara i feel has wanted away for some time, so i expect rangers to accept a reasonable offer, hopefully something that would ease any potential loss of cl cash, but hopefully we can get a play off place,

05 Aug 2022 07:43:53
Tom my understanding is kamara has a 10-12 million release clause plus a small sell on.

05 Aug 2022 09:17:51
I hope the 2 new signings if they happen are of a higher quality than what we have brought in so far. Not impressed at all!

05 Aug 2022 09:19:17
Agree Tom, new keeper needed and a striker.

05 Aug 2022 09:55:56
Guys i honestly don't think we need another striker at this moment in time, unless morelos or another striker leaves 🤔.

05 Aug 2022 09:59:47
Why the rush for a new goalkeeper? McLaughlin is a good goalkeeper who controls his area and made a huge save on Tuesday. Isn't scared to use his feet either. If we were to buy a number one they would need to be better than him but, unlike Greegs, still good in all those areas. That would cost a lot of money and we saw with Barkas at Celtic the risk of bringing in an unknown.

05 Aug 2022 10:13:55
We have a top class goalkeeper his name is McGregor!

05 Aug 2022 12:06:43
No we don’t 2 blue he use to be but not now.

05 Aug 2022 13:06:50
We need another striker and an attacking midfield player to fill Aribos role ( that may be Tillman, I haven`t seen enough to judge ) If we can`t rely on Roofe and don`t rate Sakala a striker is a must, a proper striker that gets in the box and scores goals . We have three keepers so we`re okay there but may need a left back if Barisic goes .

05 Aug 2022 13:17:28
Good news John, like others I hope that one of them is a goalkeeper! McGregor is still the best keeper at the Club by some distance but that does not mean he should be our No. 1 (and McLaughlin is not and never will be of the quality we need) .

05 Aug 2022 13:37:50
We do not need a Striker, Colak, Morelos and any of the young guys.

We are missing the biggest thing and that's a solid CM who can impact in the final Third, Jack has been pretty bang average for months now. Kamara does jack's role better than Jack however he's being asked to be the one breaking beyond the forwards it's not his game.

If he don't sign a CM and go into the season with Jack, Lundstram and Kamara as our main CMs we've made a massive error.

05 Aug 2022 16:50:43
We do need a third striker as we showed last season. Roofe cannot be relied on to be third option and after that we have a 16 year old Lovelace and an 18 year old Ure . Weston and Alegria out on loan until January at least so they are not options. If we stop playing Lundstram in the back three we have plenty of central midfielders, Kamara, Lundstram, Jack, Davis, Arfield, Sands, McCann. A goalscoring midfielder would be a definite plus for the squad though.

06 Aug 2022 00:17:55
Roofe made 36 appearances last season

Morelos, Colak, Roofe, Sakala and if needed Tillman can play no.9.

Our problem is in that list of CMs only one who has something to offer in the final third and that's arfield.

06 Aug 2022 08:28:07
I think we should never have given McGregor a new deal. As much as I agree that Mcgloughlin is good with ball at his feet and crosses, he's not No1 material.
We should have went for the boy that was at Dundee utd.
I actually think now we could do worse than going for Liam Kelly.

08 Aug 2022 21:30:46
Richy1471 the Dundee United boy had an error or two in him as well. nothing wrong with McGregor as a no2 I think we would struggle to get a keeper of his quality to sit on bench but as he is rangers man and possibly looking towards coaching it makes sens. The fact people are still debating McGregor or McLaughlin tells you he's good enough to be a no2.also I really don't see what mccrorie has done. wrong to not get a chance was ok at livi and never let us down when played for us.
