Aphe, I read an article saying the owners wouldn't spend big this summer after laying out the money this season especially if they didn't see any return. Do yiu thinkbthsts likely? Imo we should look to sell Raskin and Dio and reinvest thst.
09 Mar 2026 16:21:11
Sell Raskin, Diomande, Chermiti, Gassama and Bajrami.
Surely, get a few quid for that lot.
09 Mar 2026 16:25:42
Onewalter, I wouldn't believe articles, my friend. They have rarely been correct in the past.
Remember, articles suggested the purchase of the club was off.
09 Mar 2026 17:12:39
Why in the world would we sell Raskin or Chermiti, AllyMc62? Raskin finally looks like a Rangers player and will hopefully extend. If not, then sell. Chermiti is going to be an absolute star. We are lucky to have him, and if we keep him, I can see him being the biggest sale in our history. Why would anyone be keen to sell him? Honestly, our fans absolutely baffle me.
We don't have many who we would get money for.
Bajrami showing a fake fight after the game was cringe. He's shown none of it since he arrived. Get rid. Gassama is too terrible. Diomande can improve, imo. Plenty of other fringe players we can offload, but doubt for much money.
We can definitely save ourselves £8m by not buying Olsen. Overvalued at that by about £9m.
I'd pay treble on my season ticket if we offered mega and got Moore permanently.
09 Mar 2026 17:21:28
Raskin, imo, almost certain to leave this season, and Diomande would sell also. Tav gone. I think Fernandez will be away for decent money also. And, yeah, move Chermiti on. Pretty much bang on, Ally. Aasgaard and Antman also. Matondo out if contract, thank god.
09 Mar 2026 17:26:51
Raskin hasn't kicked a ball all season, and is saving himself for the World Cup, whilst Chermiti will not get us the goals needed. I'd sell both if the money was right. I'd expect 10m for Raskin and 10/12m for Chermiti. We could buy 4 or 5 quality players for that money.
09 Mar 2026 17:37:12
Raskin already away in his head anyway.
09 Mar 2026 17:41:43
Yeah, I don't think I'd buy Skov Olsen either, not at that price.
I'd absolutely 1 million percent prefer Curtis on the right than Olsen.
09 Mar 2026 17:55:56
I'm sorry, Stevie, I know you don't rate Skog Olsen and that is fair, but I don't believe Curtis has shown enough to be a starter yet either.
Sko Olsen has more goal contributions in the premiership than Curtis in less than half the matches.
Now I do believe Curtis can be an outstanding player for Rangers, but let the boy develop rather than placing the irrational weight of the world on his shoulders.
09 Mar 2026 18:05:22
Skov Olsen is today's version of Mel Sterland. Mel's contribution was 99 games and 3 goals scored.
09 Mar 2026 18:16:37
Ted's 4 goal contributions in 8 matches blow that away, but feel free to not add anything meaningful to the discussion.
09 Mar 2026 18:41:00
Aph
I am allowed an opinion, and mine is (and I'm not alone) that, so far, Skov Olsen's contribution has been nowhere near value for money.
09 Mar 2026 18:47:27
Why don't you engage in an educated discussion with your opinion rather than a poor joke, with irrelevant stats, just to have a dig at a Rangers player.
09 Mar 2026 18:53:50
Aphe, I think he's a talented player. But he's not showing it or doing it for me.
The thing is, mate, we can't sign him based on what he did 4 or 5 years ago. We will decide by what he does currently, and for me there's no way he's worth £8m to us. Just no way in hell.
Talent yes. Showing it, no.
09 Mar 2026 19:00:34
We won't be signing him, Stevie. 99% on here can see that. 👍
09 Mar 2026 19:01:47
And you can add Aasgaard, Antman and Miovski to that list. Also, if we don't take up the option on Skov Olsen, that will be more money available.
09 Mar 2026 19:06:31
Stevie, I agree he is not at the level he should be showing, my friend.
I would, however, disagree entirely with your assessment.
We are not talking about someone who was good 4/5 years ago.
We are talking about someone who was in the form of his life just over 1 year ago, earning him a move to Wolfsburg.
Granted, this has not worked out, and his confidence is a mess, but I truly believe he is a risk worth taking.
09 Mar 2026 19:06:42
I wonder if other clubs have the same amount of fans who really don't have an idea about the club. They seem to think we should sack the manager, clear out players and start again! If Rohl hadn't taken over, where would we be? We were by far the better team yesterday; the stats prove that.
The failure was not scoring both in time, and missing penalties, players' fault, not managers!!
09 Mar 2026 19:51:38
As someone who watched a lot of Skov in Denmark and the start of his Belgian career, and really, really liked him, I thought he would definitely solve our right wing problem. I've got to put my hand up and say I was wrong. The player I'm seeing for Rangers looks nowhere near the player I saw, and, thinking about it more, he didn't really deliver in pressure moments for Denmark either, so I'm now questioning if he is one of the players that don't have the mentality to play for Rangers.
And as for the rest of the squad, not investing would be madness when you consider.
Meghoma's loan ends.
Djiga's loan ends.
Cornielious' loan ends.
Aarons' loan ends.
Skov's loan ends.
Moore's loan ends.
Tav's out of contract.
Matondo out of contract, finally get rid of high wage.
That's eight players lost from the squad.
And then we come to players that should or need to be sold.
Diomande does not offer enough over a season, sell.
Raskin, sell after WC, hopefully generate an inflated fee.
Aasgaard, if not trusted off the bench, even then needs sold.
Bajrami, decision should have already been made, sell.
Antman just appears to be not good enough and injured, sell.
Sterling great but never fit, sell, need someone reliably fit.
Gassama, bite hand off if we get a decent offer, sell.
Miovski clearly not fitting, sell or loan to sheep.
Bailey Rice out of contract.
Fernandez, big teams circling, big fee reinvest, would like to keep another season if we can get him regular games for Nigeria, fingers crossed.
That's another 10 who could go. For me, looking at 18 players total, I know it's not a realistic target, but that, for me, is the size of the job and why Danny should get a reprieve and start next season.
09 Mar 2026 19:54:33
Fair enough, Aphe. I know u want him and back him. I would only sign based on his loan performances here, not his past.
For me, Cerny is a far better player.
09 Mar 2026 20:04:02
Mel Sterland only played 9 league games for us, however, he got a league medal (and, frustratingly, my scarf, as they did their end-of-season lap of honour).
Skov Olsen has until the end of the season to prove his worth (or not).
09 Mar 2026 20:05:27
Mel Sterland played for Rangers. For me, 12 games, two goals, and he was a right back.
09 Mar 2026 20:06:24
Stevie, I am not comparing players.
Cerny got judged after 50+ games, and never wanted to sign permanently for Rangers.
He also started terribly in the same number of games Skov Olsen has had.
I remember people saying they would take him back to Wolfsburg, personally.
Skov Olsen has had 8 matches and played the equivalent minutes of 5.
09 Mar 2026 20:41:18
Aphelion, a small question, if you don't mind, pal. 🤔 Do you rate/think Andreas Skov Olsen is a better right winger than Vaclav Cerny? 🤔
09 Mar 2026 20:59:03
SWS, they are 2 totally different wingers who are better than each other in their preferred roles.
09 Mar 2026 21:03:41
Scales was on a booking fairly early on, and not once did Olsen commit him or run at him. Any good winger would have had that donkey on toast, even if he couldn't beat him. Where was the movement in behind him to make him defend and tackle.
09 Mar 2026 21:14:45
2 assists and 1 goal in 8 games. He's still got a few months before the decision will be made, but on the evidence so far, he won't be signed and we shouldn't even be thinking about that.
09 Mar 2026 21:30:53
If we were to have Olsen here next season, it would need to be another loan deal, with him getting a full pre-season, etc., then see what he can do. To splurge 9m on the guy would be completely irresponsible.
10 Mar 2026 07:12:33
My star, and let's be totally honest here, his 2 assts were more about Chermiti. 1 great leap for a header and an incredible overhead kick.
10 Mar 2026 08:38:04
There are some players in all sports who lose form and never ever get it back. 9 million is a huge outlay for us and can't be risked on someone currently showing nothing. I wanted him since we were first linked 3 or 4 years ago, but he's just not producing. Even in terms of his goal contributions up to now, we are including a cross that Chermiti scores a world class goal from, for instance, 99 times out of 100 that doesn't end up in a goal.
I've yet to see him beat a man. He has scored 1 goal, and, to be honest, I don't remember him having many attempts on goal either. Whether it was down to Rangers or Cerny himself, we didn't pay the 6 or 7 million for a guy who got us almost 20 goals and around 10 assists. Why would we then spend 9 on a player who hasn't done anything?
10 Mar 2026 08:55:07
He's not even hit any sort of form, and still got 1 goal and 2 assists. He'll prove his worth in the run-in. It takes time for some players to settle. It's a complete mentality change from being at a struggling club and not even playing.
10 Mar 2026 09:40:09
Aye, we didn't pay it. The player needs to want to be here for us to pay it, going by what was said on here. Same with Sima, who wanted ECL football.
10 Mar 2026 10:02:05
So, just to be clear then, the consensus here is that we rebuild yet again, sell more than half of the team, and basically write off this season and next? We sell off our best players and replace them with players who may or may not be as good, but will need time to settle in.
Then we listen to 'fans' telling them they are no good and should be replaced within 12 months. Complete and utter madness.
10 Mar 2026 10:17:50
Teds pal, well said, mate. Some told us Olsen was the Messiah, he isn't and never will be. £8m is laughable.
10 Mar 2026 10:28:09
Some of you in here just thrive on failure. It's kinda mental.
10 Mar 2026 10:36:48
Glasgowrangersgooner, bit late on my reply but Raskin hasn't been great this season, so much so that Barron was our best player before his injury.
I always liked Raskin, but he's now more into throwing handbags and arguing with opponents than playing football and winning games.
And your comment about Chermiti being a star is hilarious.
He's scored a couple of really good goals, fine. So have lots of players, but they never amount to anything (Matondo has scored a couple of worldies, even against Celtic. Igamane is and will be a better player than Chermiti, and look how that went).
I'm all for supporting the team and players, but I'm not so biased that I cannot see the truth.
10 Mar 2026 10:51:53
I might be in the minority, but I would absolutely sell Raskin and actually don't think we'd miss him. He's flattered to deceive the majority of the time he's been here.
10 Mar 2026 11:52:29
Dor Struth, Raskin has been very poor this season. I'd drop him for Barron when Barron is fit.
10 Mar 2026 12:38:53
I think a lot of our players flatter to deceive, but none of them really have the balls required to win us trophies.
I hope I am wrong and we win the league, but I seriously doubt it at this point.
10 Mar 2026 13:33:11
Alph is entitled to his opinion on Olsen.
I watched him a few years ago, and he's certainly, at the moment, a shadow of the player he was. I don't think you can deny that. Loss of confidence can ruin a player, and he comes across as quite a reserved guy.
I saw a couple of our players giving him a talking to on Sunday, so you can see there is frustration there all round.
10 Mar 2026 14:03:41
Olsen, hell no. I don't care how many goal contributions he has had, he has been poor in every game he has played. Unless he gets his finger out.
Grg Raskin has not been great this season, and we need to sell players at the right time, and that will be after the World Cup.
Chermiti doesn't do it in enough games, that is there for all to see.
10 Mar 2026 14:06:01
Cerny was awesome for us. Olsen is not. It's as black and white as that for me
10 Mar 2026 14:46:42
Sws, the question should have been: who would you prefer in the team? Cerny all day, only on evidence in a Rangers jersey.
Agreed, GlasgowRangers. Chermiti has great ability, he'll go far in the game.
10 Mar 2026 15:15:41
Cerny may still have been a Rangers player if he had wanted to remain in Scotland. He didn't. He moved on, and is in the past now.
10 Mar 2026 17:34:42
I'm sure Olsen's confidence will build, and we'll see him shine, hopefully, over the remaining 9 games. He's a good player. He just needs more time. Just my opinion.
10 Mar 2026 18:30:28
Yoke, Cerny was absolute gash for about 6 or 7 games when he arrived at first. People were offering to drive him to the airport. Amnesia, much? Oh, and Olsen's played 8, so let's just see where it goes.
10 Mar 2026 18:47:10
No amnesia fork, and you are right about Cerny starting slow, but there was no talk of an 8 million fee before he hit form either, though, mate. I hope he comes good, bud. Just camt see it.
10 Mar 2026 19:06:52
Be good if he does, bud, but he needs to find what we know he's capable of, mate. 👍👍
10 Mar 2026 19:15:40
I agree, mate. I said on a previous post I was glad we signed him. I think possibly giving him the last half hour of games would have been better than throwing him in, but needs must, I suppose.
10 Mar 2026 19:19:34
For me, if Raskin has a good World Cup, it will be time to sell him. We need top money for our top assets. Sell to fund the next few. I think Dio and Gassama will also go, should the right bid come in. Personally, I don't think any player is a must-keep just now; if the valuation is met, they will be sold.
10 Mar 2026 19:23:41
Agreed, bud. 👍
10 Mar 2026 22:33:47
Enjoying the debate. Aph. You make some very good points on ASO. I'm in the "no" camp, but I admit to being a poor assessor of players. I thought Cerny was poor after 6 games; I wrote off Hatley after several games; I decided Laudrup had lost it after 6 games; and Chermiti and Djiga were useless. Glad I'm not the Manager of Rangers.
11 Mar 2026 07:42:31
I'd say Rommens falls into the must keep category.
