Rangers Rumours

24 Sep 2021 10:56:33
Reports going round Hagi going to Roma in January. Really hope it's not true as one of only ones that see sees that final pass and makes big difference as seen this week. Seriously underrated by many. Though fee being reported is around £17m which would be massive for us.

24 Sep 2021 11:46:18
Great deal for both parties. One player we definitely have to start scouting a replacement for right enough as he's our only player with that little something different.

24 Sep 2021 12:18:50
I used to think towards the end of last season Haggis, was one we could cash in on.

I honestly think we would struggle now. he's grown as a player physically mentally. It staggers me how many of our players don't move enough this season, his sense of positional football is excellent.

if John25 is right and a few others are set for a clear out, Goldson in Jan also then we will be disrupted.

17m is good but it better have at least 15% sell on added because he's got huge potential in the European market.

24 Sep 2021 12:30:35
Usual rubbish from Daily Rag. but if true no way will we turn down bid. give half to SG use rest to balance books.

24 Sep 2021 12:31:27
Think part of his trouble is he's never a traditional right winger, more a no10 and we never play that way so he's had to change. Think he'll be a real star in the future. Will be a bid miss if he goes.

24 Sep 2021 12:31:38
£17m take it and run all the best Hagi and thanks.

24 Sep 2021 12:43:20
I seem to recall saying we would get 15-20m for Hagi and some posters said I must have rocks in my head to think that.

24 Sep 2021 13:04:44
I’d be more inclined to sell the older players look at our midfield Kamara, Aribo, Hagi all young guys we should be looking at getting the best out of these guys and building the team around them.

24 Sep 2021 13:10:29
The boy is only 22 and has improved since joining Rangers has loads of potential but £17m is too good an offer to refuse if true ( probably not true) . Anyway if we win the league and get the £30m we don't need to sell.

24 Sep 2021 13:30:33
Hagi has physically improved but his general play as been sensational from the moment he walked in the door. He would be a huge loss but Veerman is a good replacement who sees that final pass as well. 17m for Hagi and 5-7m for Veerman is good business although I'd be gutted to see Hagi go.

24 Sep 2021 13:48:26
It was also rumoured that Barasic was going to Roma.

24 Sep 2021 14:49:53
Said long time ago hagi will move around Europe regularly, he’s that type of player, he will earn a good living without ever stay Long anywhere, you may remember John, I think you might have agreed,
Not that I’m saying it’s true mind, but one thing, I would have thought people would have learned about putting massive valuations and sell on clauses to our players, some are ridiculous.

24 Sep 2021 15:07:28
I'm sure that bacona was bought to compete with hagi hopefully he can post the same returns re goals n assits.

24 Sep 2021 15:41:48
Yeah you could be right stewarty, I’m surprised someone said hagi has been sensational since he walked in the door, he certainly Wasn’t , but he does have talent.

24 Sep 2021 15:55:37
What if he gets injured?

24 Sep 2021 16:02:28
Players will always move on. It is very rare for Players to stay with the same Club for 10/ 12 years nowadays. As long as the money is right for Rangers. A lot of Players come to Rangers to put themselves in the Shop Window. I would be really worried if no one was interested in any of our Players.

24 Sep 2021 16:11:45
That will be one of the reasons rangers will bite the hand off any offer of that magnitude for any player at ibrox, books must be balanced.

24 Sep 2021 17:41:27
We don’t play with no10s we don’t play with wingers as it’s left to the right back and left back to get to the bye line or cross early I honestly believe hagi would be better in midfield where aribo plays.

24 Sep 2021 17:42:41
Hagi is a great player and gets good assist also don’t understand anyone that doesn’t think he is a quality player.

24 Sep 2021 18:36:31
love hagi but rather club has 20euro in account.

24 Sep 2021 18:55:00
Would take the 17 million would like to keep him till end of season tho if possible we 6 month loan back 😂.

24 Sep 2021 19:34:40
Know I'm in the minority but I just see what others see in hagi, for me he's just average.

24 Sep 2021 19:48:11
Me2, he’s better than that, he has quality, he’s just not what some people think he is imo,
But he’s certainly better than average on his game, problem is people forget his best performances have been against the likes of Livingston when Rangers has 80% of the games, I just don’t see how he’s worth 17million quid,

24 Sep 2021 20:43:58
Will be prob be 12 million with 5 million in possible add ons he’s easy worth 10-12 million.

24 Sep 2021 20:52:20
TT his best performance was against braga.

25 Sep 2021 08:31:14
That was his only great performance for months players need to settle obviously, but he certainly wasn’t sensational,
Of course he’s had a few decent games now and we’re talking massive valuations, just like a few months ago when some players valuations went up by 5m every time they had a decent game against Hamilton

Decent on his game, not consistent, not quick, and not worth 20 million quid, but that’s just my opinion.

25 Sep 2021 10:59:11
I don’t for one min believe that is what we will get for him once sold the figure banded about is from newspapers that fans only believe what the Reed in them when it’s something positive about our club if it was negative they would be saying BS.

25 Sep 2021 10:59:36
Ps not every player needs to be quick.

25 Sep 2021 16:55:05
Gel be worth even more now.

25 Sep 2021 16:56:10
Sorry he’ll be worth even more, see what I mean about no pace and zero consistency.

25 Sep 2021 17:16:46
Agree Tom re hagi, a butterfly.

25 Sep 2021 17:56:56
TT os that you happy you are correct because hagi didn’t have a good game 😬 showing yer true colours again new it wouldn’t be long.

25 Sep 2021 23:26:29
Honestly lads, worth closer to 7 than 17, take the tinted specs aff.

21 Sep 2021 19:09:39
Told tonight rangers are planning a major clear out by start off next season
Leaving
Arfield
Defoe
McGregor
McLaughlin
Goldston
Morelos
Barisic
Middleton
Kennedy

Davis mb 12 month deal
Balogun mb 12 month deal

Incoming
Mirko ivanic
Joey veerman
Harry Souter
Danilo doehki
Jed Wallace
Zander Clark
It is expected kamara will sign deal and kent to be offered 2year extension

Mccrorie king Williamson Kelly alegria McClelland added to first team squad.

21 Sep 2021 19:40:56
Great to hear your info as always mate.

21 Sep 2021 19:43:59
Out of your leaving list, John25, I'd only keep Morelos and Barisic.
Apparently Veerman has started the season well - 4 assists in 7 matches. Do you think we will get priced out a move for him or a bigger club / more appealing league will come calling?

21 Sep 2021 19:44:40
John, that is quite a clear out. As things stand I would keep McLaughlin as I think he is better than Clark.

21 Sep 2021 19:54:13
You would expect McLaughlin to be our no1 if Greggsy decides to hang up his boots, and McCrorie as no2.
Goldson has yet to sign a new contract according to the media.
Morelos - every transfer window he is leaving.
Middleton- if he leaves then surely it would be St Johnstone.
Barisic - doubt it unless it’s a sizeable fee.
Arfield- possible as he has become a squad player but 100% committed.
Defoe - he has become a player coach?

Don’t know too much about the players listed that we are allegedly interested in bring in.

21 Sep 2021 20:06:20
Guys just info from usual source.
Mr ph, my understanding is guys need to leave to generate money to freshen squad.

I personally would keep McLaughlin
Copland as u probably know McGregor McLaughlin arfield Defoe Goldston will all be out of contract. Same as Davis and balogun so easy to move

Someone keep list see how it pans out.

21 Sep 2021 20:10:29
No reason to doubt what John25 is saying as he's mostly always bang on the money 👌I heard myself john25,
millwall right winger jed wallace is a certain signing for us either in january or the summer 🤔 Although he looks good i would prefer skov olsen TBH! I also heard zander clark and veerman 🤔.

21 Sep 2021 20:21:49
I’d cut your right hand off for Olsen SGL.

21 Sep 2021 20:22:17
John 25 - you’re info is usually spot on mate and it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

21 Sep 2021 20:30:40
Copland if I get three incoming correct I’ll be happy.

In all honesty outgoing not to difficult I’d say.

21 Sep 2021 20:44:27
John 25- we could do with a CB being brought in now due to the injury to Helander,

21 Sep 2021 20:47:09
Me too John25 👍 Skov olsen is different gravy so he is 👌 Please let us sign skov olsen 🙏🙏.

21 Sep 2021 20:48:31
I take it you got your info John25,
from your source that i know about mate 🤔.

21 Sep 2021 20:54:40
Yes SGL.

21 Sep 2021 20:58:00
Not going to happen in my opinion - no reliable source to back me up though.

Ripping up a squad like that would set us back and hand Celtic the advantage in their second year of rebuilding.

Continuity and evolution are essential to ongoing success of any team and we will be no different.

21 Sep 2021 21:07:37
DJ so do you think the out of contract players will be given new deals. If so whom.

21 Sep 2021 21:45:44
I think you're right about the outgoings John25, not too difficult to work out. Doekhi would be an outstanding signing and is the signing I want the most from what you've said.

SGL, again you mention Skov Olsen as you have done on many an occasion. I will need to take you and others opinion on him because I haven't seen much of him. I watch a helluva lot of Italian football but he doesn't seem to play much for his club team. He's only started once this season. I'm not saying that he can't be that good because he's not starting it's just I don't understand where people are getting to watch him. I'd love to see more of him to form an opinion. Like someone pointed out to me when I made this point before, another certain Danish international came to us from a situation where he wasn't playing much and that didn't turn out too bad.

21 Sep 2021 21:55:10
Good post again John, as you say most outgoing you can predict, couple of incomings are new names not heard before. Hopefully we can sell a few to generate some funds to bring in them players.

21 Sep 2021 22:08:28
Looking at list only likely to get Money for about 2/ 3 players say 15 m. Would that cover incoming, not sure who would require a fee, it will certainly be very interesting if all happen, team probably needs overhaul, new to site but good to here everyone's opinions.

21 Sep 2021 22:22:53
No idea John but if we lose all of those you mentioned it will be like starting all over again unless the recent recruits suddenly find form and become 1st pick for their positions.

We have no one to replace Morelos - Roofe had chances at the weekend but misfired in front of goal

Simpson - Very early days but yet to convince anyone

Lundstrom is recovering from a slow start but again has much to prove

Sakala has great energy but needs to settle and find his niche

Wright has been impressive in bits but needs composure

SG has always retained a belief in his core and I expect that to continue with >70% of the current match day squad to be the same next season

Just my thoughts without the benefit of your connections.

21 Sep 2021 23:24:37
Would keep McLaughlin a few players on that list would bring in cash so would expect Morelos and Barisic to bring in between 15 to 18 million.

21 Sep 2021 23:28:39
Is every player on that list coming in a free agent next year.

22 Sep 2021 00:02:37
John25 no news on Kent going.

22 Sep 2021 07:24:10
Question is, who is going to pay top dollar for Morelos?

22 Sep 2021 07:27:40
Rfc only doehki and Wallace free. I reckon rest about 15 million
Punter told Kent will be offered extension I’d be surprised if he took it. He spends all his spare time with his girl in England
Dk all guys I list would probably be first picks with exception of Clark
Also rfc we wold only get decent cash for barisic and money. Buttons for Middleton. Rest are out of contract.

I think we r relying on winning league.

22 Sep 2021 07:38:11
yip agree got to be winning the league for the 30-40m available CL money next season .

22 Sep 2021 10:22:17
I’ve seen Millwall 5 or 6 times over last season and Wallace seldom stands out in Championship games. Not for me.

22 Sep 2021 11:33:42
Thanks for the info John25. Is the plan then for Zander Clark to be #1? Disappointed that Kennedy will be going as had high hopes he might be one for the 1st team but as per your other thread seems he has shot himself in the foot with his attitude.

Excited to see King might be give an opportunity next season.

22 Sep 2021 13:09:13
John25 you’re the man for this info, however my concerns are that some of these players will need to be gone in JAN. If so that really upsets the push for the title.

I think the sooner Goodson is gone the better, I really do think his contract issue is starting to cause harm to the dressing room.

Kamaradonna would be a huge loss unless we get Veerman.

Interesting post John thank you.

22 Sep 2021 13:21:32
All seems quite placable I’d like to add a couple of names to the list 1 being Barker 2, Itten and also possibly Simpson if he doesn’t get his rubbish together cause I’m still seeing literally nothing from him doesn’t seem to excel at anything no pace, doesn’t get up well enough and seems pretty unaware at time.

22 Sep 2021 15:13:04
Highland I did not include barker as he leaves in May not part off squad
Also itten and katic are away and imo unlikely to return

Simpson will be fourth choice, cheap wages anyway.

22 Sep 2021 16:07:54
Thought defoe was staying as a coach.

22 Sep 2021 16:20:25
Google not so sure need to be gone for January, there u go kamara signed four year extension today.

22 Sep 2021 17:01:13
East Belfast yes. But not a player next season.

22 Sep 2021 17:06:33
Bankie I’ve not seen Wallace play. So I bow to your views. Time will tell.
I’m told he is very much like Arfield.

22 Sep 2021 17:14:23
Don’t know why Olsen keeps getting mentioned it was click bait well over a year ago it’s not going to happen tho I would love it too.

22 Sep 2021 17:17:07
Jed Wallace is millwalls best player by a country mile and could turn out to be a good signing.

22 Sep 2021 18:37:59
Cool storm. Is he a replacement for arfield in your opinion.

22 Sep 2021 19:31:17
He can play wide or as a number 10 so that’s probably why we are after him I don’t think he is the same type of player as arfield he likes to dribble cut inside and can put a decent cross in also 8 games 3 goals 3 assists this season He has been more central this season.

I think he will suit the way we play.

Shoots from outside the box as well but only my opinion.

22 Sep 2021 22:37:58
John 25 heard Kent was only staying up in Scotland till his misses finished uni.

22 Sep 2021 23:11:48
RFC his misses has moved to England and is now working down there.

22 Sep 2021 23:19:19
@john25 can we be pals? Haha.

I thought Defoe was a coach?

23 Sep 2021 10:59:22
Jed wallace nothing like arfield John25,he's a winger all day long mate 👍.

23 Sep 2021 15:19:43
Kriss still a player coach drawing a very handsome wage not to play.

23 Sep 2021 15:41:56
SGL interesting millwall say right winger, attacking mid or right mid.

23 Sep 2021 20:04:40
John he has played every game as a number 10 this season that is 100% fact don’t know what SGL is talking about as he can play both tho.

24 Sep 2021 08:27:21
Storm exactly, that’s what I thought mate.

18 Sep 2021 09:43:59
Eliaquim Mangala - short term For hilander,

thoughts peeps? any truth?

18 Sep 2021 13:06:10
Is this a rumour punter? Or you just asking.

18 Sep 2021 15:02:35
both, bit of click bate .

18 Sep 2021 15:45:50
copy paste job

Rangers could have to make do without Filip Helander for some time this season, the big Swede isn’t the sort of player to go down injured or need stretchered off unless something serious has happened, Steven Gerrard confirming that he has already had an operation which will put him out for the “foreseeable future“.
With this in mind, the gaffer has a few options:

Promote Jack Simpson to play more regularly.

Consider moving Calvin Bassey into his more natural centre-half position.

Recall Niko Katic in January.

Or, have a look at the free agents currently without a club.

If he decides to go with the latter, there is one name that sticks out like a sore thumb and one that is surprising to see still without a club having played in La Liga, the Premier League, Portugal’s Premeira Liga and the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

He’s won the league in three different countries and has eight caps for France and, at 30-years old, Eliaquim Mangala – once rated at £31.5million – is far from past it.

Since leaving Valencia in the summer, the former Manchester City centre-half has yet to find a new club, he isn’t injured or recovering from injury either, in short, he would be the perfect player to offer a short-term deal to should Gerrard decide that he wants or needs more experienced cover alongside Connor Goldson and Leon Balogun.
Mangala wouldn’t have to play every game and for all that the Scottish Premiership is a step down compared to what he is used to, there is no doubting his quality as a defender and it would give him the chance to put himself in the shop window to kick-start his career.

It’s an almost zero risk transfer, the sort that Ross Wilson loves, we just need to wait and see just how bad Helander’s injury is first but, in the worst case scenario, there is a solution available that ticks an awful lot of boxes.

18 Sep 2021 16:59:48
I thought Cahill should have been offered a deal when Goldson still hadn’t signed up, but this is a good call too Paul.

18 Sep 2021 18:51:41
I agree TT12 👍I thought we should have signed cahill but mangala is a free agent and is a left footed centre half, so could be a worthwhile shout on a deal until the end of the season 🤔.

18 Sep 2021 19:02:21
So it’s just click bait then.

18 Sep 2021 19:30:00
I've also seen this click bait. Mangala is a good option but also in the click bait article was Everson formerly of Monaco and Nicolas N'kolou. All would be great signings but for players of that stature still to be free agents I think there must be something wrong ie injuries or wage demands too high etc.

19 Sep 2021 09:17:17
Cahill didn't want to come to Scotland. He was quoted saying he wanted to stay down the south of England.

19 Sep 2021 09:27:08
Jack Simpson gives me the fear man.

19 Sep 2021 10:13:58
When you consider the teams and price tags he’s had then there must be something about him. Also has French caps I think? Could be wrong though 🤷🏻.

19 Sep 2021 10:35:10
I see maicon is also a free agent
There’s a good few on that list.

19 Sep 2021 16:46:09
Sorry sweep, I just said he could have been offered a deal.

19 Sep 2021 20:39:02
Punter Bassey played one game for liecster under 23 at ch.
played twice there for us so not a natural ch imo.

20 Sep 2021 16:25:41
we need a Gougie at the heart some passion Souttar would do me.

Bassey Durys out.

20 Sep 2021 17:32:05
We need a CB to fill the void left by the injury to Helander and the fact Katic is now on loan.
Basically we only have Goldson, Balogun, and Simpson.
Simpson to me will struggle to become a first team regular at Rangers.

21 Sep 2021 12:36:49
Think the young lad King could step in as a 5th choice behind the 3 you mentioned and Bassey can slot in. Big expectations for the boy King. Not seen much but my friend says he is a cracking talent with huge potential. We fought hard to keep him from moving down south and I think he could get some match time this season.

11 Sep 2021 13:39:02
Don't no if ther much truth to this the daily rag have asked st Johnston if they could put recording devices in the rangers end today st Johnston agreed rangers security went in and removed some. rangers are livid st Johnston apparently it was Barry ferguson that got the tip and he contacted rangers anyone else heard this.

11 Sep 2021 14:12:25
It’s going aww James Bond.

11 Sep 2021 19:54:54
For Your Ears Only ☺.

11 Sep 2021 20:57:08
Yip it's getting really bad, I'm sure I saw snipers today on the roofs in Perth.

11 Sep 2021 20:59:27
Heard this as well and heard Mark Guidi was involved, could be pish but it's what i heard on our supporters bus today.

12 Sep 2021 17:55:33
ffs get grip first of all its illegal to record anyone without there knowledge or have signs up even with cctv think u will find that's what happen to the news of the world who makes this rubbish up.

12 Sep 2021 18:10:29
Ffs, think maybe you should know something about the laws before spouting nonsense mate

It’s certainly not illegal to record anyone talking or singing, and stjohnston can out cctv anywhere in they’re stadiums that they want, with one or two exceptions obviously

Maybe just check before talking rubbish,

12 Sep 2021 18:17:45
The news of the world were hacking into people’s devices, , massive difference there

Nobody said this was actually true, , but what you said is definitely untrue.

12 Sep 2021 18:53:45
TT back having a go at someone 😬.

12 Sep 2021 19:29:35
If you read it back looks like big blue bear started first. On the point though, I don't believe that St Johnstone wouldve agreed to allow recording equipment to be put in the Rangers end.

12 Sep 2021 19:51:24
Merely pointing out that someone is wrong is not having a go KJ, it's telling them the truth there's a big difference.
I think you'll find that having a go at other posters is where you excel KJ as the majority of your posts do exactly that.

12 Sep 2021 19:57:52
Only the yes men get to have a go at people I thought 🤔🤭.

12 Sep 2021 20:23:13
Jesus,

13 Sep 2021 08:22:27
Would it not just be better to stop all the sectarian nonsense then no one could record anything we have got to stop this, the damage it is doing to our club is huge, we have already been warned playing with empty stands in Europe and it will come that we will be punished in domestic competition as well it’s got to stop.

13 Sep 2021 09:01:30
Think they decided to bug Charlie Mulgrew instead 😂.

13 Sep 2021 12:43:31
100% twacoos stop singing the songs and we won’t have anything to worry about.

13 Sep 2021 14:26:06
It’s been an away problem forever, many of the fans are locals, not st holders, doesn’t help but impossibe to control without the polis acting, when st are involved they need to be withdrawn for life.

13 Sep 2021 17:26:50
Twacoos and stormtrooper its not true that we would have nothing to worry about, what if they decided they did not want swearing in their ground or they didn't want any of their players taking any kind of abuse even after a leg breaking challenge? I known this is all nonsense as it never happened but nothing to worry about if we don't sing sectarian songs, don't be so niave.

13 Sep 2021 18:33:35
Jyf what are you talking about 😂 I am not saying if our club doesn’t sing another sectarian song we will have nothing ever to worry about this is a big problem for our club and it’s the fans that are causing it because the ste knuckle dragging brain dead bigots.

13 Sep 2021 19:28:51
I'm talking about your naivety at thinking that if we stop singing certain songs we "wont have anything to worry about". If you haven't noticed there's a bigger picture here and we are being singled out. Perhaps you go to games and not an offensive word comes out your mouth and good on you for that but just about every other team in the SPFL sings offensive songs about us and not a cheap Before you say it, I know that two wrongs don't make a right but this is all one way. Cut out the singing and people will be offended by something else that we do. That's what I'm talking about.

13 Sep 2021 21:53:48
Jyf ; I’ve no idea what your on about it’s the sectarian songs that keep getting us in trouble nothing else it’s got to stop I agree certain well one in particular daily newspaper has highlighted tweets while these so called reporters were using the exact same sectarian tweets about us but if we get our own house in order and leave that baggage in the dark ages where it belongs then there is no front page sensation.

14 Sep 2021 13:15:22
I’m with jyf here if the singing stopped it’s be something else. It’s ok to sing songs about disasters and bombing/ murdering British soldiers and nothing gets done. I don’t particularly want other clubs brought to task I just want us left alone. There’s a helluva lot worse going on in the world than a few songs. Love the holier than thou approach as well there was about 80% of ibrox singing the Billy boys v that mob but it’s only the away fans eh?

14 Sep 2021 13:25:16
3 cheers that not true but have a nice night 🤦‍♂️.

14 Sep 2021 14:44:10
Didn’t take long Tav eh .

Yes, the Sectarian Singing does need to stop, as does the songs that we hear at the other end of the City that rejoice in Terrorism however this is a much deeper problem that just the songs and for me it will not stop until all children are attending non denominational schools. If an individual wishes their Children to be taught at a Religious School, irrespective of the denomination then that school should not be funded by the State.

Tav, that's half the problem, we can only deal with what we do. Still too many people on here defending sectarian singing 👆.
