Old news but I've heard again from an informed source, Harry Souter discussions taking place.

Bankie

1.) 10 Jul 2024 12:37:45
Exactly what we need, somebody to dominate both boxes.


2.) 10 Jul 2024 12:47:30
If that's the case one (or even 2) of our current cb need to be off the books soon.


3.) 10 Jul 2024 12:54:11
Good source Bankie? What’s your thoughts?


4.) 10 Jul 2024 13:06:53
If the media stories are correct Goldson will be away before the close of the window as 3 championship teams are looking at him.


5.) 10 Jul 2024 13:17:56
Why do they have to be off the books " soon"? Surely like every other club we have the whole transfer window to sell players .


6.) 10 Jul 2024 13:27:55
I think it’s the wages WSL, I will be pleasantly surprised if we can afford Harry Souttar.


7.) 10 Jul 2024 14:47:34
I'd be very happy If we could bring him in.


How much is he on? The sites vary on wage, and terms. Google search says he's on 135k per week on a 6 years contract. Surely not?


8.) 10 Jul 2024 14:52:04
Because if we sign a cb and then a sale for our cbs fall through we are stuck will too many, and that's wasting wages.

Also add to that teams aren't stupid, if we've bought a cb they'll know we need to sell one so can hold us to random more. Ain't rocket science.


9.) 10 Jul 2024 15:11:14
If as expected Goldson does move to Birmingham.
I think he will.
Then we still need 2 centre backs.
I’d be happy with Harry Souttar as one of them.
John and balogun as back up and move on Davies along with Goldson.

King out on loan and maybe hang onto yfeko for first half of season to see how Harry John and Leon injuries play out.


10.) 10 Jul 2024 15:23:41
Bankie issue I have re Souttar is fitness, also has four years left on liecster contract, gets paid 40k a week plus bonuses

I’m not sure he fits our model.


11.) 10 Jul 2024 15:35:34
We NEED to up the tempo we're going at Snails pacei know the window is just open but we need to moving with real purpose we may not have a home for now but we can build a Squad and limit the back foot we are on as e club.


12.) 10 Jul 2024 16:09:04
The way it's going we might be in for soapy soutar .


13.) 10 Jul 2024 16:10:00
This is one I'd love to see happen. Imagine it must be a tough square to circle given his previous transfer fees and presumably his current wages though. He's only 25, so would have clear sell on potential, but more than that I'm minded that we need a few guys like him / McLean around the club longer term and we shouldn't put all of our eggs in the young/ foreign/ potential basket. I suppose it's difficult to know how fit he is etc. given he's been frozen out of his current team.

Not to mention I'm a sucker for footballing siblings!


14.) 10 Jul 2024 16:12:00
Most of the sites say 40k John that's why I questioned what the Google search said. They all say 6 years contract.


15.) 10 Jul 2024 16:13:38
Snails pace?! No we're not!


16.) 10 Jul 2024 16:19:14
We need to reduce our wage bill. in the past these high earners haven't been worth it.


17.) 10 Jul 2024 16:38:59
John, season long loan, apparently no future at Leicester.


18.) 10 Jul 2024 16:47:25
Just because he’s on 40 in England doesn’t mean he will get it here plus am sure he would take a wage cut to come. If his club don’t want him his length of contact shouldn’t really matter.


19.) 10 Jul 2024 17:02:29
He’d be in a years loan to start with.
We’d prob pick up 25-30k of his wages. Maybe £1m Loan fee.
Option to buy £6m maybe?
I’d say that’s a good deal.


20.) 10 Jul 2024 17:20:13
Not value for money imo, three games last season.


21.) 10 Jul 2024 17:37:45
Might be wrong John, but I think his lack of game time comes from his club trying to force him out rather than due to injuries.


22.) 10 Jul 2024 17:22:02
Gers4ever…. He never said they HAVE to be off the books?


23.) 10 Jul 2024 17:28:43
Rangers just signed a young left-sided CB from Italy. Do you think he came here to play B team football? This young guy is going to play, and Harry Souttar would simply block his path to the first-team.

I could see a RCB being signed, but someone would need to go. Balogun should not have been given that extension IMO. Davis and Goldson are going to be very tough to move as few club below EPL can actually afford their wages.

Rumours of Goldson going to League 1 are just a joke. Talk of £25m fees and a league 1 club paying £37k/ week, etc. It’s been nonsense from the outset.


24.) 10 Jul 2024 17:42:07
Soapy is the one we already have belhaven?.


25.) 10 Jul 2024 18:46:50
Generic who’s worth £25m?

Harry Souttar can play Rcb can he not? Is that not his preferred position.?

Also I forgot about Nsiala and I’d expect him to be first choice left centre back.


26.) 10 Jul 2024 19:40:36
Rangers 15,

He said "need" to be off the books soon, same thing. It's nonsense to say as he has since repeated that we need to get players in exactly the same position away before we bring in others, in case we are stuck with them. We must have a plan to upgrade positions without waiting until someone comes in for our players. We will know who we can get rid of.

We have also filled a position by keeping Balogun, we wouldn`t have done that if it could be a possible blockage to bringing someone in. Also to those who are worried abut Souttar coming in and blocking Nsialas development as a left centre back . Souttar, like his brother is right footed, although he does play to the left when required.


27.) 11 Jul 2024 06:46:10
Yes, we need players in. Players off the books are to allow others in, seeing what capital is available for new reduced wages of incoming players, as per wages restructuring. Fair point imo.


28.) 11 Jul 2024 10:23:55
Are 2 footed CB's really out of our reach, we have a couple of players uncomfortable even in the warm up, Davies is certainly one of them and should be out no matter what he wants to do .


29.) 11 Jul 2024 10:29:53
Gerrard said Rangers need 4 CBs. Two players for each position. We won the league under his watch.

Clement has Souttar, Balogun, Goldson, Davies, King, the young guy from Italy, and more are being linked.

Rangers don’t need 6 of 7 CBs. Rangers don’t need 5 strikers either.


30.) 11 Jul 2024 12:50:31
I hope to god Harry is better than his brother, if true.


 

 

01 Jan 2024 10:15:10
Lewis Ferguson signing in the Summer.

Bankie

1.) 01 Jan 2024 10:43:02
That's a big claim there bankie, how for uou know?

Be a great signing and one we should have made earlier imo.


2.) 01 Jan 2024 10:47:15
I love your optimism mate, but I wouldn't hold my breath.


3.) 01 Jan 2024 10:54:20
Would love that.


4.) 01 Jan 2024 10:59:37
Common bankie, you're better than that pal ?I didn't know you changed your profession to a comedian mate ? Unfortunately that has absolutely no chance of happening and i would think everyone on here would agree ?.


5.) 01 Jan 2024 11:02:09
We got a spare 20m aye ?.


6.) 01 Jan 2024 11:05:07
Unlikely

We should have signed him when he was at aberdeen.


7.) 01 Jan 2024 11:07:00
We can't afford him.


8.) 01 Jan 2024 11:27:28
The boy wants to play for Rangers, Hagi and another youngster could form part of the deal. Coops you always said Ferguson was no where good enough, glad to see you’ve changed your opinion.


9.) 01 Jan 2024 11:32:44
I think the only way we would get Ferguson is if he was out of contract unless we have some major investment.
He’s bound to have a fee of £15m-£20m on him after this season.


10.) 01 Jan 2024 11:50:09
We should have signed but unfortunately we can’t afford him.


11.) 01 Jan 2024 11:50:33
That ship has sailed. Absolutely no chance is Lewis Ferguson signing. Should have got him when he was at Aberdeen.


12.) 01 Jan 2024 11:50:59
We will not get lewis ferguson as he has intrest in him from Juv, Inter and AC so i see him staying in Italy.


13.) 01 Jan 2024 11:51:09
No chance the boy loves it there and is loved their he's one of their top performers, he has no alliance to us bar his uncles, he owes us nothing, so why give all that up, when we showed no desire too get him when his uncles where singing his praises too us a few seasons ago.


14.) 01 Jan 2024 11:56:06
Careful sir Walter, bankie will have a dig for you young emojis.


15.) 01 Jan 2024 12:20:12
That’s the best of the year yet ????.


16.) 01 Jan 2024 12:29:19
He'll be at juve in the summer. They want him now, but bologna don't want to sell.


17.) 01 Jan 2024 12:38:41
Will be miles out our price range if top Italian sides looking at him.


18.) 01 Jan 2024 12:47:54
Bankie, i've had the baws to come on here a good few occasions now and admitted i was wrong regarding Lewis Ferguson and how the young guy has developed into the player he now is, over at bologna ?At the time ?% i did say i didn't think he was good enough for us and that he wouldn't have got a starting berth, in our midfield ? But he's developed into a terrific midfielder and got much better over in italy and fair play to him, i wish him every success ?.


19.) 01 Jan 2024 12:54:28
Bankie this is not happening they are talking upwards of 15 million for him now. He is the captain also. With juve and few others rumoured to be in for him.


20.) 01 Jan 2024 13:19:53
He'll stay in Italy then end up down south. We mite get him when he's 32 or something.


21.) 01 Jan 2024 13:20:00
Starting the new year off with a bang!
They said they won’t sell for less than 20 million.


22.) 01 jan 2024 13:58:05
bluedreamer, if ferguson has no alliance to rangers then neither do you, me or anyone else on here

he was a rangers supporter from childhood, same as the rest of us, should have brought him in long ago, interesting news tho.


23.) 01 Jan 2024 14:41:11
We missed the chance if signing Fergusson and Doig. Both have experienced Italy and now way we have the cash to buy them . and no way they would want to come back to the SPL.


24.) 01 Jan 2024 15:54:23
That ship sailed! Far too many on here claimed at the time he wasn’t good enough for us lol madness! 10x the player Barron is!


25.) 01 Jan 2024 16:38:51
Sorry mate don’t have £20M.


26.) 01 Jan 2024 17:06:50
No Alliance to us he’s a rangers fan mate his dad talks about watching our games with him. A think he would love to play for us one day.


27.) 01 Jan 2024 17:32:48
Bankie at the windup and your all buying it ?well reported that Juventus are interested sorry but can’t see him turning down Juventus or another big move for Scottish football.

People will be telling him plenty of time to come back to rangers.


28.) 01 Jan 2024 17:42:02
Doig only has 2 assists in 34 games.

That’s not good enough for me and so I would pass on him:


29.) 01 Jan 2024 18:09:40
Reported on rumours sites and newspapers that they were interested, about 6 months ago. Things change.


 

 

25 Dec 2023 11:51:22
Don't expect to see Shankland at Ibrox in this window although a quality striker will be signed most likely on loan.

Bankie

1.) 25 Dec 2023 13:19:55
If Alfie is available for free we have to remember he is our 10th ever leading scorer with most European goals and is only 27. Surely makes more sense than Shankland taking into account likely fee. John any info if Beale had fallen out or mistreated Kent and Morelos last season?


2.) 25 Dec 2023 13:28:32
Beale had a few falling outs with a few players, Kent was one.

There was a major falling out right at the start of pre season that left key players in the squad raging with Beale.


3.) 25 Dec 2023 13:53:00
The pre season video footage of Lundstram and Dowell driving to the training session. Lundstram looked was raging about something.


4.) 25 dec 2023 14:01:28
all good n fine, but they were part, a major part of a team who saw celtic win just about everything going, and neither was any good fir major parts of their tenure,

backwards is not the way to go, not again please, the thought of either again is scary.


5.) 25 Dec 2023 14:08:43
The manager will have an idea who he can bring in without having to pay the Gorgie torn faces any money, he's smart the new manager.


6.) 25 Dec 2023 14:29:23
Only one I'd have back is big Aribo.


7.) 25 Dec 2023 14:31:11
Alfie? You’ve got to be joking, stop living in the past. He downed tools last year and cost us more often than not with his attitude and sendings off. Would probably take about 6 months to get him fit anyway. He had his time and blew it. He’ll drift off into obscurity like so many who think they are bigger than rangers.


8.) 25 Dec 2023 14:41:08
Yes thumb if you asked me at end of last season I would have said the same however after watching the replacements in Lammers and our injured list I think we would have been a better starting 11 with them. Also I think they both would have flourished under clement and let’s be honest Fat Ange was no mug especially domestically and tactically bull rushed us. But onwards and upwards time to move forward even though I loved Alfie.


9.) 25 Dec 2023 14:51:27
Really frustrates me sometimes that our fans just can't seem to let old players go, Kent and Alfie are gone and they are gone for a reason, they both chucked it. We won one league title in 5 attempts with the 2 of them here, so why on earth would we bring any of them back to help with a title charge?


10.) 25 Dec 2023 15:14:09
Cmon lads - Colin Stein is two stone lighter than Alfie and would still do a better job - "and in the past they must remain" phrase comes to mind re Alfie and RK - let's move forwards and not backwards!


11.) 25 Dec 2023 15:24:03
Colin Stein - now he was a top player. My idol as a kid. loved the big man ❤??.


12.) 25 Dec 2023 16:20:37
Morelos was crap for ages, not a chance I want to see him back. I'd say pay for Shankland and get a few seasons at least of regular goals. Something we haven't had for a while from a striker.


13.) 25 Dec 2023 16:35:59
Why don't you come back and play Mark Walters? i'd rather that than Morelos.


14.) 25 Dec 2023 17:01:58
Get el ? back he would be the best striker at our club.


15.) 25 Dec 2023 17:36:36
Alf apart from Europe, has never been or will ever be the prolific goalscorer we badly need. He's gone let it go.


16.) 25 Dec 2023 17:49:18
I can't believe people are still talking about getting Kent and or Morelos back. They were dreadful last couple of seasons and Sima has already scored more goals than Kent did in the Spl. Both had they're time! Move on.


17.) 25 Dec 2023 17:51:54
Take Alfie back, he only gets paid per goal. He needs an incentive, there it is. Being realistic, he downed tools a long time ago, no use to us now.


18.) 25 Dec 2023 18:35:36
Agree re plenty falling out, but really folk need to define mis treating,


19.) 25 Dec 2023 18:50:11
The player worst treated was Kamara. It got so bad that the player was advised by his agent not to engage at all with Beale which led to Rangers almost withholding wages due to not showing up to training.


20.) 25 Dec 2023 19:25:12
I don’t want Morelos back but would rather have him than shanks hopefully the DOF and manager pull out a cracker.


21.) 25 Dec 2023 19:26:23
Market garden that was a joke for the camera. also morelos not exactly prolific. Did he ever score 20+ in a season.


22.) 25 Dec 2023 19:41:18
Borna, ultimately Kamara was employed by Rangers and paid very well for it. Beale might have been awful but Kamara as a professional can't just choose not to play or not to come to training. These players are paid to be fit and available at any time they are needed regardless if they like the manager or not. Kamara was another that is a quality player but gave his all in about 25% of games.


23.) 26 Dec 2023 00:30:38
Absolute rubbish the players fell out with Gio when they were on pre season in Portugal when he told them they weren't there on a piss up.


24.) 26 Dec 2023 00:38:03
Why would you take back 2 players who were relatively unsuccessful in their time at the club, over rated whilst at the club and both have certainly been found out since leaving the club!


25.) 26 Dec 2023 10:41:23
Falling out is irrelevant as players get paid a lot of money to be professional and give 100% regardless of whether they agree with or like the manager and that applies to any football club.
Loved Alfredo but wouldn’t have him back as he appeared to down tools in the end.
I’d be open minded for Kent coming back but prefer to send a message out to other players that they should think twice before leaving and move forward without him.


26.) 26 Dec 2023 11:20:39
Alfie should be nowhere near a Rangers shirt, even a fully fit sharp Alfie ( more chance of winning lottery ) would cost us the title with a red card, would rather play with a Under 16 striker till end of season.


27.) 26 Dec 2023 16:58:41
El??? we are trying to win the league not chuck it away.


28.) 26 Dec 2023 19:57:32
Why are folk so against shankland? Scores goals for fun in all the comps we're in pretty much. Got a coule in Europe as well. Far better than anyone we've got, he knows the league well so won't need time to settle. He's in his prime and wouldn't cost a ridiculous amount, no more than lammers or dessers, bith of which he's far better than.


29.) 26 Dec 2023 21:16:04
Very rare for rangers to go back in for a player they deemed not good enough in the past.


 

 

28 Aug 2023 10:13:48
Harry Souter again omitted from match day squad at the weekend.

Bankie

1.) 28 Aug 2023 11:04:54
Seen Stevie Clifford said on Rangers Review they had asked the club about Harry Souttar and were told it was a non starter. Guess time will tell.


2.) 28 Aug 2023 11:09:11
Stevie Clifford says he asked if any truth in Harry Soutar coming and was told he definitely isn't coming to Rangers.


3.) 28 Aug 2023 11:15:22
Harry Soutter will not be signing for us confirmed today by Stevie Clifford on RR.


4.) 28 Aug 2023 11:46:30
Rangers Review have said that the club are denying interest in him.


5.) 28 Aug 2023 13:32:42
Really hope RR are incorrect on this one. I would really like Harry to sign, and if not him I think we really need another CB in.


6.) 28 Aug 2023 13:39:41
The club have denied it in the past regarding us being linked with players.

Happened with Zungu, Ramsey, Flanagan and plenty of others.

We’ve held talks with both Souttar and Leicester regarding him but it’s ultimately down to what happens with Ben Davies.


7.) 28 Aug 2023 13:45:30
Copeland you hearing anything regarding any winger/ forward or you think our only business will be a cb if davies moves on.


8.) 28 Aug 2023 14:18:44
Heart and hand say we are still interested.


9.) 28 Aug 2023 18:13:35
ypu think leicster would want a chunk of the 15 mill they spent on harry.


10.) 28 Aug 2023 18:19:40
Wingers still an option, would need probably Wright to leave.


11.) 28 Aug 2023 19:41:11
Zungu, Ramsey, Flanagan? not exactly salubrious company lads!


12.) 28 Aug 2023 20:19:13
Was told earlier an enquiry made about taking Amad Diallo on loan.


13.) 28 Aug 2023 20:34:38
Missing the point Jimbo?

Club will deny it unless they know for sure it will happen.


14.) 28 Aug 2023 21:14:01
Diallo would be great but how do we fit him and Matondo into squads both match day and euro?

I feel if we sign another wide player then mb has realised his way of playing won’t work as he’s quickly brought Matondo into the fold and another would suggest he’s realised what he thought was way to go won’t work. What doesn that say for players and style he’s brought in?


15.) 28 Aug 2023 22:07:03
Diallo is waiting to see if he has ruptured acl bankie.

Man Utd say if not he will be out for couple of months.


16.) 30 Aug 2023 11:55:42
I thought Wright would be gone by now. he's no future with us.


 

 

15 Jun 2023 20:33:53
Davie Weir is the preferred option.

Bankie

1.) 15 Jun 2023 20:54:40
A hard task pulling him away from Brighton mate.


2.) 15 Jun 2023 21:45:43
Personally can’t see it with his family down there and he is well thought of.


3.) 16 Jun 2023 02:12:30
Have they asked the fans if they even want a dof, I know what my answer is.


4.) 16 Jun 2023 07:26:27
Ask the supporters Lithium-1872?
Absolutely they'll appoint a dof because that's the model they believe in and we would have absolutely no say in that my friend ?.


5.) 16 Jun 2023 08:15:51
Why should the fans decide what roles are required?


6.) 16 Jun 2023 08:27:04
The fans don’t have a choice in DOF ?‍♂️.


7.) 16 Jun 2023 11:12:19
Fans should decide if we need a DoF? ? ? Tell me you don't get modern football without actually telling me. Deary me. There's so much involved now a manager just needs to manage.


8.) 16 Jun 2023 15:05:47
His son at Brighton too and a club who are apparently doing no bad and got plenty of money. hmmm I wonder .


9.) 16 Jun 2023 15:15:48
A manager imo should pick the players they like/ want football is so so different in everybody’s eyes some just cannot see what other can and vice versa a dof should take care of finances and try to get deals done not pick alternative players! If a player the manager wants cannot be got it should go back to the manager to select an alternative not the dof just my opinion!


10.) 16 Jun 2023 15:41:27
I honestly think director of football role vastly over rated but modern managers seem to prefer some of the weight of the club taken off them and better for family life less travelling.


11.) 16 Jun 2023 17:18:42
It’s the clubs that want it more than the managers gofor.


12.) 16 Jun 2023 21:11:23
Why don’t they just start doing a fans poll for new signings as well… lol.


13.) 16 Jun 2023 21:52:41
Imagine somebody telling Alex Ferguson or Walter smith who to buy lol.


14.) 17 Jun 2023 11:39:17
No one telling MIchael Beale who to buy if he gets it right, then i see no reason for us to waste money on a director of football, I would let Bisgrove take care of the financial side of it and let beale find source and convince the players he wants in.

Bill Shankly famously said at a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the checks. I loved Shanks but he could not have been more wrong.

Bankie

1.) 15 Sep 2024 11:12:51
Mate players, supporters and managers are football motivated or they were in his day. He had a philosophy that most understood. It’s changed. The steps we are taking are supposedly to make us a more sustainable and in the future a successful club. Through my experience be it a public or private company re-structuring regarding wages and size every so often indicates there is re-occurring problems. We keep highlighting a need for a CEO who is an extra chain of command, that will cost wages. He will though be a buffer for the board. ? when you slim line, others need to take on responsibility. Football doesn’t really have a lot of ways to generate cash but one of the most successful ways has been handed to our rivals 3 years running.

So maybe we need to go back to that philosophy. In the rear with the gear staff always blame operations even when the equipment they are getting is broken or below par. Personally keep the chain of communication to a minimum. that's why I agree with Shankly.

Steady and composed not realy tested.


2.) 11 Aug 2024 01:08:33
Looked strong, did well overall. Can’t really be blamed for the OG. Lacks pace though.


3.) 11 Aug 2024 07:12:26
Lazlo, propper is a very good reader of the game and has good awareness and positional sense so that indeed makes up for lack of pace as you put it ? He's by no means slow but isn't rapid either ?Big davie weir wasn't fast but he was superb because of his reading of the game, awareness and positional sense ?says it all pal ?.


4.) 11 Aug 2024 07:52:03
Went about his work properly??.

Fork my old son, you missed a 'P' out there pal ?.


6.) 11 Aug 2024 08:18:55
Took his goal badly, good sign for me, his look towards Tav was a belter.
He will be a good one I think.


7.) 11 Aug 2024 08:41:52
Guid to see a central defender win a few headers for a change.

Love the build up of pressure ahead of Saturday. Sense PC revels in this and fully gets the west of scotland press issues and influence. The reset and transformation has just started. Bring it on.

Looking forward to next week at Hearts and believe we will win convincingly. Long overdue reset and transformation now underway and PC knows what he is doing.

I also think we'll beat hearts bankie ?I'm going 3-1 rangers ??.


2.) 28 Jul 2024 14:29:31
Pre season performances suggest other wise.


3.) 28 Jul 2024 14:41:08
Optimistic for the future, the reset was definitely needed.
I expect a few bumps in the road as big changes are difficult but forever hopeful.


4.) 28 Jul 2024 15:05:45
King, preseason is about players getting match fit, nothing more nothing less.


5.) 28 Jul 2024 15:20:23
We need a better defence before we play hearts.


6.) 28 Jul 2024 15:31:35
Kingandulster correct preseason was poor, how did Hearts preseason go? ?.


7.) 28 Jul 2024 15:32:32
Yes king hearts have been horrendous in pre season.


8.) 28 Jul 2024 15:51:28
Not seen anything of Hearts pre season so not sure how they are shaping up?
Yesterday was more encouraging from Rangers however so hoping for a bold showing at tiny.


9.) 28 Jul 2024 16:04:31
Pre season results suggest we will draw, at best, all our games this season. Celtic, meanwhile, are the new favourites for ECL after their world class performances, pre season. Might as well give up now guys.


10.) 28 Jul 2024 16:19:52
I'm all for optimism. But how can we be confident of beating any team with that defence?


11.) 28 Jul 2024 16:24:08
Hearts haven’t won’t a game either beat off wrexham.


12.) 28 Jul 2024 16:46:41
Hopefully we sign another couple of CBs as the defence needs strengthened.


13.) 28 Jul 2024 16:47:58
Pre season isn't just about getting match fit, it's about tinkering with players, formations etc. I know its not about results but the performances have been very sub standard especially from a defensive prospective. I have no idea how hearts got on with their pre season. Good performances in pre season can only be good for a team to start a season off.


14.) 28 Jul 2024 16:52:47
Tooti
Partick 2 hearts 2
Leyton 2 hearts 1
Hearts 1 spurs 5
Burnley 1 hearts 0
Burnley 0hearts 0
Fleetwood 3 hearts 0.

Think PC is doing a very good job under very difficult circumstances. The team he inherited was made up of players past their best and on the decline and those purchased by Beale that were simply not good enough but on good contracts. Terrible situation created by the Board.

I admire and respect the way PC is going about sorting out the situation and with limited funds available. Although not best prepared now looking forward to the season and a balanced transformation of the club led by PC that should have commenced at least 3 years ago.

He needs to be given time no ifs, buts or maybe's. Let the guy do his job.


2.) 27 Jul 2024 22:18:56
Maybe case of just getting a guy with little sell on value off the wage bill as was on 39k apparently - maybe not a lot of options and no point keeping him just because we don’t get a high enough fee - he had to go - 2m would have been great but if it had to be 500k so be it ????.


3.) 27 jul 2024 23:06:01
our biggest and only worry is what celtic spend in next week or so, and believe me, it is a worry, we can build a decent team, but money will usually come out on top, i am seriously concerned about what is to come, i know the irish made it they're aim to topple rangers record and this is the season they intend drawing kevel and again securing cl money, i have serious concerns about the coming years without real money being facilitated and spent, we must get european cash, along with fresh investment just to compete with them, this isn't a level playing field and hasn't been fir a long time, sadly it may not be fir another long time, the irish benefactors are very rich, and they have done just enough to ensure celtic earn the euro money to enable them to spend just abov3 our level, in some cases it will be well above, we do have something to worry about here, very much so.


4.) 28 Jul 2024 01:15:48
Well said Ally, we need to look bigger picture, OK we only got 500k but we made cost savings on guy earning 25k week. I'm not advocating fire sale of unwanted, but we may have to lower desires to get rid sharpish. It's obvious PC rejuvenating team and we'd all agree sooner/ quicker.


5.) 28 Jul 2024 02:01:54
Tom they win the league they'll need to qualify for the cl next season, looking like we don't if we win it, major problem is getting players with quality coming here, you posted earlier saying players would come, we're not in the Souness days now, it will very rarely happen now.


6.) 28 jul 2024 09:25:41
fgs, watch and see it happen, i'm not entirely sure what your talking about, are you saying they won’t sign any players? you mark my words they are well aware of what’s required to qualify next season, and that’s why they will sign quality this season, , if you don’t believe that, just watch.


7.) 28 jul 2024 09:27:33
and quality will always come, if you pay them well enough, many quality players come with a view to the epl, you just need to sell yourself and persuade them, same as always.

If fit and has the desire will get 6 month contract to prove himself. Logically it’s a no brainier with no financial risk. More Colin Stein than Jim Baxter.

Boy would be our first choice number 9 now if he had remained at Ibrox. No chance of a return and nice to see being as loyal to Villa as he was to Rangers.

Angus, timing is everything and only now with Bennet’s medical condition that the need has arisen.

John, yes he is using his public platform to stir things up and discuss some things fans would not normally to privy to. The question though is his motive and that is honourable and true blue. Sometimes the end justifies the means. I greatly admire Bennet and what he has contributed and see no conflict between that position and supporting King in his current endeavour.

Thought was good and honest interview. Covered all the points in a fair manner and made perfect sense. Long overdue reset has commenced and everyone associated with the club including supporters should get behind, especially when the so called Rangers pundits like Boyd and Ferguson seek personal popularity.
