Seen online comment that BBC are reporting that Danillo and Lawrence out for rest of year with Danillo possibly needing surgery?
Hope this is grossly incorrect!
1.) 08 Dec 2023 18:44:36
It's correct. Clement said it in today's press conference.
2.) 08 Dec 2023 19:08:53
What’s happened to Danilo? He seems to be injury prone as well.
3.) 08 Dec 2023 19:16:25
It’s from the press conference do you even support rangers?
4.) 08 Dec 2023 20:17:11
Its like the old saying “ it never rains but it pours “ my question is do we have more players available or unavailable?
5.) 08 Dec 2023 20:49:51
Danilo does need surgery.
6.) 08 Dec 2023 22:12:54
Just my opinion but the way Danilo has been playing, recently, he won't be missed. Yes his mobility and effort is good but the chances he misses and his goals to games ratio don't make good reading. Hopefully we can get and keep Roofe fit until January at least.
7.) 09 Dec 2023 08:34:47
For me personally I think we push Sima up top until January and bring in either Matondo who will bring us pace and directness or we go to a back 3 and push Tav and whoever is going to be LB on. We seem to have the worst luck in bringing in players that struggle to stay fit. Roofe is fit again just now but again for how long.
8.) 09 Dec 2023 12:45:47
I don't think you can say Danilo injury prone a clash of heads is bad luck
The knee thing his first for us really
I'd be asking more questions of our medical team we seem to have a really poor record all we hear is will be out couple weeks next 5hing we know it's months as if they have no idea what they are doing.
9.) 10 Dec 2023 22:20:14
Also I'd stop reading the daily rebel always puts a negative slant on rangers stories.

Having watched Hearts game again - it is glaringly obvious how slow our play out from the back is - numerous occasions it is passed across back 4 then to Butland and repeat (same as last season) - possession is all very good but when trying to break a defence all we do is allow opposition mid and defence to get back and keep shape - we waste many many minutes by slowing the game down and don't have the intensity - Davies will never do for us and Souttar looks laboured too - I honestly fear the worst again at the back! Tavs will be there for the picking when Maeda comes calling so that area must change for 1st OF of season as we will get a doing otherwise - hopefully Propper can add some dynamism to rear-guard and we MUST get a goal scorer in too we cannot and must not rely on Dessers converting a greater percentage of chances he gets in a game- this rebuild could be a very long process guys imo?.
1.) 05 Aug 2024 12:40:00
Bang on Blue Floyd. Davies and Souttar both lack quality and aren’t comfortable playing out from the back. Tavs a bombscare and on the decline. We need to get him replaced ?.
2.) 05 Aug 2024 13:46:03
Totally agree mate, slow in possession lack of intensity going forward. We need wingers who can cross and players who can score from those crosses. Defensively we are a bombscare. Connor Barron was the only player to impress against Hearts. I see us getting battered by Kiev and still the board will do hee haw about it.
3.) 05 Aug 2024 13:52:39
The slowing the game down tactic starts an alarm ⏰ for me, the manager will fail if he slows the team down, his reign will end in failure, we need 2 signings by tonight a striker and a midfielder or we are going to fail very quickly . For me shankland would instantly improve the frontline and hit the ground running, it’s worth the money for stability, we must invest in players asap. Scottish preferred.
4.) 05 Aug 2024 14:14:58
PC wants to play with a much higher defensive line but couldn't due to the lack of pace at the back.
Unfortunately Balogun can't play two games as close together and Propper wasn't ready.
This and a six will change how we set up drastically.
25 Jul 2024 07:10:02
Wow - how poor was last night.
Tavs at his glorious best - ballwatching not picking up and looked like he has packed his bags to go - best for club in long term! All back four caught ballwatching many times and the lad May had almost a 12ft circle around him in box to score second . Gave the ball away too many times and there was no shape to the team. Again the set piece failures continually haunt us -we must surely be able to pick up a man at a corner and stay with him - bloody basics .
The total crime yet again is finishing . no-one with composure in box - and if we need to go through this season relying on Matondo and McCaulsand to provide then we are up sh*t creek without a paddle - Matondo in particular is a headless chicken and should be nowhere near the 1st team - Nsiala showed few good touches and moments but will need a leader and controlling CH beside him - even the usually steady Balogun looked shaky - I know good few players were missing but again it was blatant that we have no leader on the park. Could be a very long season ahead? Wright mom after coming on HT - say no more!
13 Jul 2024 09:19:46
IMHO lads - this could be one of the toughest seasons ahead yet due to the serious amount of change which is required - had we been carrying change out incrementally as required over the years things could be different now - but due to apathy/ arrogance after stopping the 10 and distinct lack of direction this is where we are - we need to embrace the change and allow PC some time as I for one don't see us miraculously transforming overnight into a total winning machine - remember this has been played out due to years upon years of inactivity or placing the wrong men in the pole position and letting them loose with cash- it is fairly obvious that we have deadwood/ losers still in our midst and until we see a marked change in senor personnel this will be the status quo- so yes I hope for success but hope in a greater way that we all can see the need for a shift of players and attitude/ desire to get us back to true winning ways and support the team through what I will feel could be a very rocky period of time at start to middle of season- YES I would love instant success but as a realist I see the need for some stability the better trading model and a trending towards good football/ tactics and general positive direction- imo we still need a few seasoned hardened winners and a striker brought in to help the team gel and give a bit of positive direction and experience (hopefully PC and board will still bring in some quality prior to start of season which can still fit our wage structure! ) Thoughts folks?
1.) 13 Jul 2024 09:54:07
Think we need to probably take some pain to begin with, some of the, "project" player's need time to settle in, yes some are in need of further development, but that'll come, problems come with a lot wanting instant success, last thing we need is PC moved on, then we go back to being in the ? yet again, he must be given time, your incremental point is a valid one?.
06 Jun 2024 07:16:31
Armstrong from Southampton now free agent -knows league and has plenty experience - would he cross the divide though? Thoughts folks?
1.) 06 Jun 2024 07:59:57
Take him in a heartbeat, should've got him first time round imo.
But a big drop in expected salary I would imagine.
2.) 06 Jun 2024 08:19:53
Liam Cooper from Leeds also free and he is an agressive unit and leader/ captain material too- likes a solid tackle as well - I wouldn't mind him being considered to boost defence?.
3.) 06 Jun 2024 08:29:26
We pay his wage he'd be a Rangers player.
4.) 06 Jun 2024 08:53:29
Mcburnie, Cooper, mckenna! We've j7st got 5 players off the wages who were average so replacing some with more average players will not take us forward.
11 May 2024 18:54:32
We can't mark a man - we can't play quick one twos to beat men and we can't defend against one twos as most just ballwatch - we were a yard slow all over the park today so where does that actually put us?
The team needs almost completely stripped down and replaced (obviously) - if we don't believe in PC as I see some doubters on here questioning him, then where do we actually want to go? - the managerial merry go round to happen every year? Not for me thanks - we need stability at top and allow the team to be rebuilt - Rome was not built in a day so it will take some time to totally change round this mob of mostly bang average players - He needs the right hungry fit players with ability to boost the club and whether we like it or not - this will not happen overnight- so allow this to happen and see where we are say next January or chaos will reign once more.
Still time to take a cup from them too so all is not 100% doom and gloom just yet - even though we flung the league away (which was out main priority) we still could do the double with a team mostly full of underachievers and loan deals. Mr Lundstram was only thinking of himself today flying into that tackle and cost us chance of a fightback- we can do better to fill his jersey next season - I hope we see the back of him and many other jersey fillers soon!
1.) 11 May 2024 19:05:43
Raskin at his best ie when he first came to rangers is better than lundstram anyway, if truth be told ?.
2.) 11 May 2024 19:05:56
Agree but we have seen this movie before Blue. Not able to change formation, adapt the team to suit the players we have fit and drop someone if they aren't playing up to scratch. Unfortunately our manager hasn't done any of the above. Neither can be beat Celtic.
3.) 11 May 2024 19:16:34
Well said Floyd, the manager inherited a poor team he has had one transfer window and let’s face it no real budget just loans or loans to buy, then we have a long list of injuries I didn’t expect to win today if truth be told they are a better team it’s going to take time to catch them, you can’t just bring in a manager and say right if you don’t win the league in first season your out . We need to be patient and rebuild, the money we have has to be spent wisely and the wages we save with out of contract players used wisely PC has won league titles and can do it again, some of the critics on here need to calm down.
4.) 11 May 2024 20:06:56
Well said a bit of common sense.
5.) 11 May 2024 20:44:54
Coops you weren’t saying that a few weeks ago you change yer tune quicker than the weather.
6.) 11 May 2024 21:00:34
AS1974 - Good analogy re movies as there are many ACTORS who wear the blue jersey for this manager as they did for several previous managers - so until these ageing ACTORS are moved on it will be Groundhog Day continuously - I want PC to have his own players in place rather than the inherited mess that we see today.
7.) 11 May 2024 21:24:56
Clement inherited an utter mess and for a while had us punching above our weight, eventually our shortcomings came back to bite us but totally unfair to question him at this point, has been struck down by a horrendous injury list to key players, only butland, tav and dessers haven't had some sort of injury over the course of the season having to continually play dessers and silva because there was noone else has cost us, he deserves a chance to build a proper team I don't think he's a mug, players he inherited have made awful errors in big games, noone will tell me that a fit sima, danilo and roofe wouldntve made a huge difference over the course of a full season.
10 Aug 2024 10:38:10
Stus - but winning league gets us into Champions league (until things change) so it is a double edged sword - if we can't compete in our diddy league what makes us think that getting tonked in Champs league is good for morale - it is obviously money we require from any competition but we can only look back over last 12 odd years when club has been run by wrong people almost as a status symbol and not a business organisation which it is foremost - it is obviously firstly a business and make a profit from business then yields can be seen on the pitch - they have usurped us by having the ideal buy and sell policy for donkeys now which will take us many years to attain so imo times will be very hard for next 3-5 years but if we don't grind through this together we may as well shut up shop - nothing is every easy or guaranteed in life so it will make it all the sweeter when we see good football and good business as the core of our being - it can be turned around but it will take time and belief and more importantly the right business people??.
06 Aug 2024 16:26:01
Fleck is free - if stays fit would add a bit of dig in midfield as long as wages not too high it seems a no brainer - also knows what it means to play in this city too?so would not be averse to this given our current financial position at least for a short term fix.
04 Aug 2024 19:29:00
If we don't get a TRUE goalscorer in soon the season will be helluva long to get through - Its damn obvious Dessers will not provide the goals alone and we need a quality finisher in ASAP- c'mon Gers get it done?.
27 Jul 2024 09:33:28
Agreed Zikos its not all about pace - however our league is all about goals - and that we certainly don't have enough of in our team - a good football brain and intelligence on park helps a damn lot imo?.
27 Jul 2024 09:26:33
Pity he prefers his phone to playing football- if he did more talking on the park than off it am sure his career would soar and be in a better place - ahh the draw of social media for the spoilt teenager that he seems to mimic?? Move on and fill his jersey with someone who wants to be here.
09 Aug 2024 14:06:39
PC add Dowell and Matondo to that list - also imo would punt Cantwell asap (who has flattered to deceive) as his spoilt brat attitude is last thing we need along with his teenage fixation with social media nonsense - his attitude to fans stinks- he should know where the line is and am afraid he crossed it??.
08 Aug 2024 18:03:13
Yilmaz has shown flashes of ability going forward but is less than average as a defender and has same marking skills as the rest of our back four and his height is a genuine concern at corners/ set pieces fact! and have seen been bullied on numerous occasions- I would be happy to see him move for reasonable cash and have him replaced - imho.
08 Aug 2024 16:17:02
AS1974 agree totally? - ballwatching has been a speciality of our defence (all back 4) for most of last season - also Celtic target our RB position frequently and have come up trumps there too . Maeda owning Tavs imo! Defence is definitely our weakest link at present.
07 Aug 2024 10:51:08
Tavs wasnt far behind in the poor playing stakes either?usual ponderous marking and posted missing at offside goal and both him and Souttar ballwatching at the actual Kiev goal - just same old defensive blunders which unless properly addressed will kill us again this season.
07 Aug 2024 08:46:15
Personally I would like Tavs wages off our bill along with his errors (Sterling as RB) - sign Shankland and have both strikers on our books as we will need goals moving forward - I have been one of Dessers harshest critics but the boy keeps giving good runs and so far is always fit and will get goals (but not enough vs chances) but needs support/ replacement in some games - so I say we need both ??.
