What's the news on raskin?
1.) 16 Jul 2024 05:50:24
He's got a sore leg?.
2.) 16 Jul 2024 09:05:53
BAU, injured.
3.) 16 Jul 2024 12:43:17
He’s not Rangers class ??????.
4.) 16 Jul 2024 21:22:22
I’ve long forgot what Rangers class was and is.
5.) 17 Jul 2024 07:19:26
Laudrup, gazza, numan, gough, ferguson, de boer, mols, klos, goram, mcgregor, lovenkrands, buffel, kanchelskis, Wilkins, Roberts, Woods, just a small reminder??.

Did Cordoba fail a medical with us?
1.) 01 Jun 2024 17:54:00
? No he never got that far, seems like his clubs are moving the goal posts on the fee, thinking his value will increase after he plays in the Copa America so we pulled the plug. Think his agent might have something to do with it too.
2.) 01 Jun 2024 18:02:31
Didn’t have one.
3.) 01 Jun 2024 19:52:48
No medical, it also appears Norwich may pull out.
4.) 01 Jun 2024 19:58:41
Seen a story saying he's being hawked around Turkiye (aye the tourist spelling) . Agent trying fir more, for himself likely.
5.) 01 Jun 2024 20:19:36
Good! Hope we tell him to F off!
6.) 01 Jun 2024 20:28:43
As I think we have.
7.) 01 Jun 2024 20:52:25
He made the copa squad and his side put his price up. The fee mentioned above is without add ons I've been told. We agree 1.9m with 1.1m add ons roughly they now want just over 3.5 with another 1.5 m add ons. Just not a 5m player yet.
8.) 01 Jun 2024 22:16:50
Agent/ Levski could feck Cordoba out of a gd move.
9.) 01 Jun 2024 22:48:49
Sorry is it not club who own him that dictate the fee and not the agent?
10.) 02 jun 2024 04:00:09
that’s actual spelling forky, not the tourist spelling, anyway i’m in airport, if anyone else around it’s 4am, let me know and i'll buy you a drink.
11.) 02 Jun 2024 06:40:51
Why I posted the way I did gofor, (Agent/ Levski) u can be sure agent has a part to play.
12.) 02 Jun 2024 06:42:23
Lol Tom, on the sauce already, all the best bud, have a good one.
26 May 2024 15:34:54
Any truth in the todd boehly rumours heard it a few times lately. Originally heard we had British interest but haven't heard it since.
1.) 26 May 2024 16:30:48
That would be quite something.
2.) 26 May 2024 16:33:46
I hope not.
3.) 26 May 2024 16:53:15
Nothing online with any credibility and can’t see the Board risking the season ticket holder backlash. I’d think other investors would play their hand if this was on the cards. Club needs serious investment and it needs to come from somewhere though.
4.) 26 May 2024 16:54:19
I was in the City a couple of times last week with folks that are involved with the Markets and they mentioned that there is a lot of noise that there is interest in Investment with names mentioned including wealthy Scottish, South African and US names mentioned.
I have also heard from a separate source of investment from an existing shareholder, (as has John).
I haven't heard Boehly's name mentioned specifically however he is part of a Consortium and is only one of a number of shareholders.
As I have mentioned before, it is quite likely that Bennett knows the Chelsea guys from his time with Hendersons and with him taking over as Fulltime Chairman with us this summer I would expect new money to be pretty high up his agenda.
5.) 26 May 2024 17:29:38
it isn't so difficult to understand. noone can come in and spend 100M as example, we need to live within our means. someone coming in with cash is only transferring money for some existing shares. sure money can be spent on infrastructure etc but we can't overspend on players as EUFA don't allow it. FFP rules exist for a reason. we need to create revenue elsewhere.
6.) 26 May 2024 17:52:37
Ibrox4me, why would there be a season ticket holder backlash? It would take comparative peanuts for him to invest sufficiently to make Rangers a winning team.
7.) 26 May 2024 17:53:27
Bb what would someone get from investing in us if we are hamoered by fpp what could investment do that would benefit the team?
8.) 26 May 2024 18:03:40
Income has to be generated not donated.
9.) 26 May 2024 18:05:27
What happens in Europe with the multiple team rule? Can us and Chelsea both play in same comps?
10.) 26 May 2024 18:46:14
McMinn, there would be fears that we would be being acquired almost as a feeder team/ club. After everything the rank and file supporters have been through over the last decade plus, putting significant money and time into supporting in blind faith, I don’t think it would land well.
11.) 26 May 2024 18:19:25
After seeing how he's running Chelsea, the Yank can keep his cash even if he wasn't running Chelsea like he was no thanks we can't afford to have anyone who has shares in another football team and again all the funds he could give us could only be used for the Stadium training facilities and retail outlets he can't invest in the Squad that would be breaching the Financial fair play rules.
12.) 26 May 2024 18:23:36
Hopefully not.
Would be a disaster.
13.) 26 May 2024 19:34:05
OneWalter, a lot depends on the Investors other Businesses and it isn't just the share acquisition. A US Investor that has other Sports involvement Stateside can cross benefit from the Rangers Support in the States, Investors in the UK could also benefit from the PR, especially if the Stadium was to be Sponsored by their Company.
Of course a wealthy investor that is Rangers orientated could equally secure ownership, or be part of Group of likeminded people, in general they just need to be more willing to invest serious money than Parks was.
Companies will spend money to secure naming rights and with us in Europe on a recurring basis would give them good cover.
The problem that I see in the recent past is that Parks secured significantly more coverage than was merited for their sponsorship. Other Board Members appear to be more there for the Blazer and Club Tie than taking Rangers to the next level.
We need new Blood and new ideas.
I am hoping that Bennett will bring change and I suspect that a lot of the noise is because folks in the City are assuming the same.
14.) 26 May 2024 19:40:11
Is there not something about having loses covered by owner shares? Think I read somewhere that was the case in England any loses over 15m were secured by owner shares whatever that means. So would imagine there is something an investor can do but as you say ffp may scupper us from what an investor can do.
15.) 26 May 2024 20:06:44
Really appreciate your input in this subject Berkshire blue. You clearly understand what this means for Rangers than most of us posters do (I mean people like myself) . I think we have to think beyond next season and hopefully a big investor could maybe help with stadium development as we always will start the season behind them until we catch up with them in income and that means growing the capacity.
16.) 26 May 2024 20:50:09
A very good post Berkshire.
17.) 26 May 2024 21:21:54
FFP relates to ridiculous transfer fee spending, we don't need that we just need to compete with the vast majority of real clubs in Europe at the sensible level of spending.
Buying the champions league is fake and worthless I'm sure the real Man City fans for example want their club back from the glory hunters and geeks that have turned up, same with Chelsea and Arsenal and certainly very soon Newcastle fans who can't get their long term seat now, quite often lifelong involvement.
18.) 27 May 2024 08:15:59
Because if FFP rules like numerous people have correctly stated we can’t spend given money so anyone that is looking to invest is only going to do it for their benefit in the hope that the share price rises. I am happy with our current board. They have steadied the ship and gave us a workable foundation to build on.
19.) 27 May 2024 09:11:11
Good accurate post Berkshire,
Also agree with your post aus.
20.) 27 May 2024 10:22:24
God hope not when has an American ever been good for a football club lol.
31 Mar 2024 10:04:41
John or anyone in the know are you hearing anything about potential investment?
1.) 31 Mar 2024 10:44:20
Ah that time of the season.
2.) 31 Mar 2024 10:47:11
Well it is about that time of year ?.
3.) 31 Mar 2024 11:23:52
The Hong Kong consortium perhaps ??.
4.) 31 Mar 2024 13:15:25
Hong Kong Bluey! I'll get my coat.
5.) 31 Mar 2024 13:39:45
Is that your new name for next year RTR.
6.) 31 Mar 2024 14:16:50
??? I never even thought of that, Flb, but it's definitely in the mix now, mate!
7.) 31 Mar 2024 16:06:45
Nicolás Romero possibly young and looks like contract running out?
This was only a quick Google btw am not saying my sources or any one told me.
8.) 31 Mar 2024 20:34:33
Hong Kong phoey, Jesus that takes me way back???.
9.) 31 Mar 2024 22:23:43
Number one super guy, Fork!
10.) 31 Mar 2024 23:05:31
Lol what was it " fanriffic" ah think??.
11.) 01 Apr 2024 13:06:15
Are we going to sign "Henry, the mild mannered janitor? " "Could be! "
12.) 01 Apr 2024 16:45:46
Who's that guy that owns the Hong King restaurants chain? Anyway these blazers and badge imposters we have will never give up their seats and allow a new face with real money in.
13.) 02 Apr 2024 17:51:23
There was a lot of talk about new investment at the back end of last year and as both John and others posted there has been interest from existing Shareholders and from a guy in the whisky trade.
Last comments that I had, which was in the City, (London), was that there was interest from the US, (possibly an existing shareholder or linked to an existing shareholder).
There was previously interest from the Far East but I'm not sure whether the current political situation, and the issues with Hong Kong have put paid to that.
Unfortunately I haven't been at any meetings with the guys that have previously commented as I have pretty much retired and tend only to be in London for Charity Meetings these days but rest assured if I hear any rumours from reliable sources I will post them.
What I would say that, with John Bennet becoming full time Chairman this summer it wouldn't be too much of a surprise if new investment was secured.
11 Feb 2024 17:01:55
I know this is the usual time of year for it but has anyone else heard about another investor looking at investing? Not sure what level but it's British based.
1.) 11 Feb 2024 17:45:27
Just a random thing, watching Airdrie v Hearts and Liam whoever he is saying Hearts lost aet to Rangers in 2022, also mentions losing the 2 to Celtic but no mention of one being on pens, just typical Sportscene.
2.) 11 Feb 2024 19:08:51
Cant stand him, always get he feeling he's doing something downstairs when Celtic are playing.
3.) 11 Feb 2024 22:34:06
Didn’t see the hearts game but assume you’re talking about Liam McLeod.
He’s an Aberdeen fan and I agree have thought for a long time his commentary is always for more vigorous when Aberdeen/ celtic score vs when rangers score and more vigorous when teams score against rangers.
Maybe I’ve got the tin foil hat on but sounds like I’m not the only one who has noticed.
4.) 12 Feb 2024 07:38:14
Sometimes think sheep lovers have same mental deficits the mob have, sheep thing goes back to Simpson Durrant thing, the mob thing prob goes back to Adam n Eve.
5.) 12 Feb 2024 08:00:14
Thought went back to Rougvie -Derek Johnstone.
6.) 12 Feb 2024 08:39:33
Might well do bankie, always thought it was the durrant thing.
7.) 12 Feb 2024 09:17:59
Alex Ferguson started the 'hate' thing v both Glasgow teams, but Rougvie and Simpson, took that to another level v us.
8.) 12 Feb 2024 10:40:36
He is a Sheep fanatic. Can’t stand his rubbish commentary.
9.) 12 Feb 2024 16:08:03
That not a bit strange BAR72, he was a Rangers player. I may be wrong but find that weird.
55rangers's banter posts with other poster's replies to 55rangers's banter posts
26 Jul 2024 15:38:20
Never seen our fans as disrespectfull as they are just now i'm ashamed of our own sometimes. Wish goldson well and thankyou for the memories once a Ger.
1.) 26 Jul 2024 16:08:05
I agree 55rangers, there's a minority of our supporters toxic and go way over the top which is unacceptable imo ?I also thank big connor goldson for his contribution as a rangers player of 6 years and wish him and his family all the best with his new club ? He's welcome back at our club anytime in the future as far as i'm concerned ?.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 16:09:27
Gers
Fans not disrespectful, just using this forum for honesty. I'll be first to rush Goldson out door because he's bombscare and never class required. A better, class c/ h give our rebuild cherry on cake. I think PC doing great job with limited funds.
3.) 26 Jul 2024 16:22:04
Now let's move Tav on.
4.) 26 Jul 2024 16:28:42
Would reserve judgement on PC doing great job, blew league last year, not signed any starters so far,
5.) 26 Jul 2024 16:40:56
Thanks for your service Conner, you had a period at the club where you were outstanding and got my player of the season vote (won by Tav) . I wish you all the best but the honesty of the situation is this is best for all party’s.
Best of luck.
6.) 26 Jul 2024 16:46:13
Miller your living in a fantasy land if u think we're able to buy another CB of his quality for what we can afford his wages are the problemfor me. I'm also referring to the idiot who decided to slate him in person on his way out. Thank the man for his service and wish him well its not hard whatever you think of him.
7.) 26 Jul 2024 16:58:42
Sirwalt. Totally disagree with you comments regarding some fans are toxic. Everyone is allowed an opinión mate. Its only banter.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 17:01:37
Being respectful and having an opinion that someone should move on are different things.
Yes, i think goldson had to leave this summer given he's on the decline and wages he's on.
But at the same time i won't say a bad word against him cause he's been a good player for our club and for that ill be grateful and wish him the best.
Some people don't know the difference there and have no respect. there's always a minority who think it makes them seem ruthless and that they hold higher standards by insulting rangers players.
9.) 26 Jul 2024 17:21:01
Correct Scotty, some ? don't understand this.
10.) 26 Jul 2024 17:22:39
Baxterboy, i honestly couldn't care less if you disagree with me pal because imo some of our supporters are toxic and go way over the top on their personal attack on players and nobody on here can deny that happens mate ? It's one thing not rating a player as we all have different opinions on players but to get personal and abusive ain't on and i've also witnessed this happening at games my friend ?.
11.) 26 Jul 2024 17:34:10
Thank you Mr. Goldson,
You hardly missed a shift, put in a full effort, never griped publicly, tried to meet the needs of every manager, wore the badge with pride on and off the field.
I appreciated your service and wish you the best in your future endeavours.
?.
12.) 26 Jul 2024 17:36:30
Coops you got personal with an ex keeper of ours is that ok in your eyes?
Thanks for the memories Goldson but you are another that stayed too long. He was on decline last 2 seasons.
13.) 26 Jul 2024 17:41:33
Walter, most of these players are serial losers who need to go for the good of the club. Although I don't agree with toxic posts, I can understand the frustration from our fan base. These players have badly let the club down.
14.) 26 Jul 2024 17:49:49
Deary dear 55rangers I know who I think is living in fantasy.
15.) 26 Jul 2024 17:50:34
All the best Connor, don't be a stranger to Ibrox in the future, but it was his and I believe a few other players time to move on for their sake and the Clubs.
16.) 26 Jul 2024 18:18:08
I wish him well but he'd clearly declined or have some forgot the performances he put in last season as fans we pay enough money to warrant an opinion on a player good or bad.
17.) 26 Jul 2024 18:37:28
Connor was our best ch imo for first four years, he was another who should have left and not got a new contract
He always gave hisbest imo, I wish him and his family all the very best for the future,
18.) 26 Jul 2024 18:58:28
One walter do not think the amount of games a season he played might have contributed to a decline in performance.
19.) 26 Jul 2024 19:12:41
Goldson time like a good few others was after euro final to leave, last year and a half been in different at best, before hand if even he made mistakes he would make up for it but pace and confidence had left him a bit, a wish him all the best.
20.) 26 Jul 2024 19:17:06
Gers58, PCs management got us back into the running for the league in the first place when we were well out of it when he took over, 8 points behind and with a squad that had stopped playing.
He managed to coach that squad back into contention but ultimately too many reverted to type. Even if he doesn`t win the league this year it shouldn`t be a shock as turning us around with Beale and GVBs follies and Gerrards old boys may take more than one or two transfer windows.
21.) 26 Jul 2024 19:37:44
Ger58,you state our manager hasn't signed a starter for our team yet ?Do you not think cerny is a certain starter on our right wing I most certainly do ? He's a really good winger ??? A good signing for us without question imo.
22.) 26 Jul 2024 19:41:20
Storm, i didn't get personal regarding jon mclaughlin mate, i did state he was never imo a rangers no.1 and not rangers class there's a difference you know between rating someone and getting personal with someone because you don't rate them, so stop trying to mix the two up and you continually mention this.
23.) 26 Jul 2024 19:57:03
Players that down tools deserve abuse or players you know aren't giving there all, big Connor doesn't come under any of those, always available always gave his all, that's all we ask for as fan's.
I think the highest earners will always come under fire if not performing, part and parcel of football, rightly so imo, if your earning nearly 40k a week and not performing you've got expect criticism.
24.) 26 Jul 2024 19:58:39
Yes, Conner never once let us down and was always a model pro in my eyes. First pick CH when fit and he was fit most of the time he was with us.
One’s a Ranger always a Ranger and I for one will always welcome him back to visit our club whenever he so wishes.
25.) 26 Jul 2024 20:17:39
All I am saying we should reserve judgement, no matter how you look at it our ability not to take points of Celtic cost us, gave a mediocre time and space macgregor to dominate game's.
26.) 26 Jul 2024 22:50:11
Speaking of continually mentioning stuff how's Tav doing today coops?
27.) 27 Jul 2024 06:35:44
Really Ger88 just wheen it was safe to come on the site, you drag him back in??.
23 Jul 2024 12:18:54
Am I right in saying John Bennet hasn't yet retired and is due for retirement in August.
1.) 23 Jul 2024 12:44:33
Who is John Bennett? ??.
2.) 23 Jul 2024 14:12:15
He's you carluke ?.
3.) 23 Jul 2024 15:11:48
Bb ???????.
15 Jul 2024 10:27:01
Did anyone take from the PC interview that he had been made promises that weren't forthcoming? Has something changed or has he been sold a lie?
Still like the way he conducts himself and I think he could turn the adversity round similar to them when they were in a mess with lemon and we didn't put them to the sword properly season after.
1.) 15 Jul 2024 11:54:07
55rangers, One important fact that i did take from that interview, Clement isn't going anywhere.
2.) 15 Jul 2024 12:12:03
I don’t think he’s been sold a lie we have spent nearly £6m on 2 players we can’t just simply keep buying players without moving players on.
3.) 15 Jul 2024 12:20:56
John on here said the budget was 20/ 25m this window. Clement has now said we need to sell before we buy….
4.) 15 Jul 2024 13:21:45
Yes borna that will be spent on buying players this summer, clearly some must be moved on, we get have a squad upwards of 30 players.
5.) 15 Jul 2024 13:23:14
I think a big part of the issue is our wage bill. We have a number of players earning £1m-£1.5m per year that we want to shift. We can not afford to spend the cash we have available until they are moved on, because we cannot risk spending the transfer budget AND having them stay.
6.) 15 Jul 2024 13:26:42
Borna he was meaning with players sold that would be the budget.
7.) 15 Jul 2024 13:44:12
We can't keep signing players or squad size will be unmanageable, so this is one of reasons we have to move players first,
8.) 15 Jul 2024 15:23:00
Gers what if we can't move goldson or tav or dessers on? I understand the point being made but iv little confidence we will get money in and may need to let players go on a free to save on wages.
9.) 15 Jul 2024 16:44:15
Borna can u direct me to where I say, we will spend that without outgoings please
One Walter how do you free a player who has a contract.
10.) 15 Jul 2024 21:24:03
Was it over ? might have been over? maybe ? or ? there. ? don't think it's anywhere??.
18 Jun 2024 11:48:13
Hamza igamame is surely a project player he looks (highlights only) like morelos strong can turn a player but his finish looks worse. 200 mins a goal too stats don't tell everything but they are an indicator. I'll get behind him if he does come but not sure he'll be better than dessers unfortunately.
1.) 18 Jun 2024 12:49:08
He looks to get shots off far quicker than Dessers so that’s a start.
2.) 18 Jun 2024 12:57:18
And you have came to that conclusion from some highlights on you tube, if he signs then we will need to see, he’s probably been watched live and been studied over footage over a period of time.
Just got to trust the scouting team, that’s all we can do.
3.) 18 Jun 2024 14:24:02
There can't be many 21 year old strikers with amazing stats and if there is we're not getting them. I think we'll be looking to get the spine of our team right this year Butland, a first choice CB, a proper number 6 and a goal scorer. Out with that bringing players in with potential and a hunger to prove themselves and develop is the right way to go imo.
4.) 18 Jun 2024 19:45:32
His finishes were good, quick, strong and not scared to fire a shot off, we are all guessing on these players, after 90 mins he could be the next McCoist or the next Sandaza.
11 Jun 2024 16:54:57
Just a thought but should our next new signing this year not be a new set piece coach? Cany defend a set piece can't score from one just a thought.
1.) 11 Jun 2024 17:04:42
That's more on the players than anything tbh goldson is one of the world at attacking a corner I've ever seen.
2.) 11 Jun 2024 17:29:26
One of the worst***.
3.) 11 Jun 2024 17:50:29
I agree 55, we badly lacked a set piece coach last season and it showed, mentioned this in the pub a hundred times before hopefully my moaning got back to big Phil ?.
4.) 11 Jun 2024 18:26:26
Perhaps if tavernier leaves we'll have someone stepping up who's capable of taking decent corners and free kicks going forward as his efforts with the exception of the odd cracker of a goal from a free kick leave a lot to be desired. When Tav takes a corner he'd be as well just passing it to the oppositions keeper.
5.) 11 Jun 2024 19:35:34
Sir Walter, Tav cannot defend I’ll concede that but not too much wrong with his corners and free kicks, the problem was we lacked aerial ability in the box.
Hopefully that’s something we remedy this season.
6.) 11 Jun 2024 19:43:59
Amazing at scoring headed own goals. the europa league one was one of the best headers I've seen haha.
7.) 11 Jun 2024 21:53:01
Corner kicks are the route to goals at ALL levels. It's how the UCL was won, how Dortmund got to the final, hoe England beat Bosnia. In the final, we had took excellent corners and couldn't capitalise. A theme through the season. 100% agree that were we able to attack and defend corners better we would have won a treble! Also, a lot of the poor defending from corners wasn't actually from our defenders. So time to keep 4/ 5 at the halfway line? Oh, and it was a duff corner that put us out of Europe too. So 4/ 5 at halfway for attacking corners as well to stop the breakaways.
8.) 12 Jun 2024 06:07:35
Like Austin Mcphee that does it at Villa n Scotland.
26 Jul 2024 10:53:56
Hope it's Saudi they should have more money than Limassol.
22 Jul 2024 20:58:41
Why would 3m be a lot for Goldson?

Fork not for me mate it might be his time to go but he's been a good servant. Can't stand the people being pretty disrespectful to him we are the best support in the world but sometimes we don't show it.

Miller your living in a fantasy land if u think we're able to buy another CB of his quality for what we can afford his wages are the problemfor me. I'm also referring to the idiot who decided to slate him in person on his way out. Thank the man for his service and wish him well its not hard whatever you think of him.

A good striker would hit 40 if he could finish and stay on side.

Not sure barron will be a starter he'll be in rotation. Think Raskin and diamonde will feature heavier this year.

Gers99, Danilo might be a main man but not sure. Think the way we play under clement we need a dominant striker who can finish and a striker with pace in Europe not easy to come across though.
