Still think another two will be in this week, getting to the point I would bite yer hand off for Souttar, McLean and Shankland, maybe not everyone's cup of tea but at least you know they would run through brick walls for us, a couple of high profile loans on top before window shuts, not what I was thinking before summer but would improve the spine of team and should be ready to go.
1.) 28 Jul 2024 21:08:53
Cooper I'm unsure we will get 3 in it depends if PC prioritises mid and striker we simply can't afford to bring in all the positions we need and it may be PC needs to do his work over next 3 windows.
2.) 28 Jul 2024 21:11:20
That just backs up my point, we’ve given up.
3.) 28 Jul 2024 21:14:52
Can’t see anyone in only cert looking clement will walk something seriously wrong at this club.
4.) 28 Jul 2024 21:37:01
I wish we hadn't bought a striker that's not ready to be on the bench let alone start. we are weak in that area with dessers and a half fit danilo. lovelace is injury prone and there's no1 else coming through the academy. Wouldn't be as bad if we had big sima or someone guaranteeing goals but we are significantly weaker back to front. I'd take all loans right now if it was experienced goal scorers!
5.) 28 Jul 2024 21:43:40
Quality will arrive ?.
6.) 28 jul 2024 21:52:11
nonsense, i look forward to your next post.
7.) 28 Jul 2024 21:59:35
Would think to start the defence should be rock solid, unfortunately it looks like PC needs 8 midfielders, crap defence and poor forwards. going for a lie down.
8.) 28 Jul 2024 22:29:24
The doom brigade is well and truly out in force tonight. League is over before a ball is kicked according to most of the comments here. We need to accept that we have spent above our means for years. Over inflated transfer fees and over inflated wage packets on mediocre players and now we are suffering the consequences. We don't have the money to buy proven quality and we will be propped up with loan signings to appease the majority of fans who crave immediate success. This is a long term project which should have started when we started in the 3rd division. Younger players coming through and being played so that we could build a squad instead of paying 10k per week to boys like Jon Daly and David Templeton. Yes we needed to get back up the leagues but our youth would have been more than capable of beating the majority of the lower league teams along with one or two experienced players. We spent a fortune getting to the top flight when we didn't have to in my eyes. We need to accept that the famous need a restructuring and we need to give up the idea of demanding silverware and sacking managers as soon as we fall behind to Celtic. Give it a few years, build a proper foundation, a proper transfer budget and then the world will see the true might of the famous glasgow rangers.
9.) 28 Jul 2024 22:35:35
Not sure about the level of panic on this thread. We need to get players out of the door and signings will follow. It can't be the other way round - that would be gross mismanagement. A left sided centre half would be top priority, I would think. Then a striker. We should keep Dessers, but Goldson and Tavernier should move on. Tavernier looks way behind in fitness so that might affect a transfer.
10.) 29 Jul 2024 01:18:44
I'm positive we'll see at least 3 first team players brought in by Friday.
11.) 29 Jul 2024 10:37:04
Pauly hopefully before Friday mate, squad for our qualifying cl named on Thursday.

If we have to go for it next week which a think we should instead of worrying about they might do then I think Tav might get the shout over Stirling, would not of thought to be saying that but with our forwards and wide men carving out more with more movement they will be assisted better with Tav, can understand the the defensive argument against but a think their weakest point is their defence.
04 Dec 2024 22:29:58
Great watch tonight, right formation and tactics with forward thinking players and shored up by the dynamo Raskin, Clemont seemed to be enjoying himself and hopefully he has learned that we are capable of smashing teams in this league playing this way especially at home, the two up top interchanging puts their defence under pressure as does the wing backs hitting the byline and cutting the ball back, looking forward to Sunday the way it should be WATP ?????????.
1.) 04 Dec 2024 22:47:41
We have been crying out for that movement and interchanging of front 3 and Raskin is looking very sharp on the front foot driving us forward.
28 Nov 2024 23:12:45
Iganame has a bit of everything and could turnout to be huge for us, he is going to have off days but a think he needs to get as much time on the pitch as possible to kick on and be more consistent, we are a different team with him as the no9.
1.) 28 Nov 2024 23:59:20
Same with Danilo as a 9 Cooper, hearing Dessers will be off in January and if he does get sold a cf will be signed in January.
2.) 29 Nov 2024 00:40:50
No we're not ? you're the type of person to declare diomande a star after two games and critise dessers when his stats are undeniable, you just want anyone else because you've been brainwashed into disliking the highest scoring striker we've had recently, we created more chances in the past but Morelos couldn't get more goals? Or roofe, or itten, or colak or anyone else, pack it in you're just picking a favourite as usual, try backing the 20 goal striker.
3.) 29 Nov 2024 01:28:47
Is that you cyriel?
4.) 29 Nov 2024 01:34:43
Wedon’tbelieveyou, the 20 goal striker who couldn’t hit a coos arse with a banjo from 6 yards out tonight.
If Igamane plays the amount of time Dessers does he’ll do just fine.
5.) 29 Nov 2024 05:31:37
Coldo is back with another name change.
6.) 29 Nov 2024 07:20:43
If dessers is off in january as you say My star and i've absolutely no reason to doubt you mate, then for you, who should be our no.9 danilo or igamane ?.
7.) 29 Nov 2024 07:52:07
Danilo will probably become our number 9 with Lovelace and Igamane picking up a lot of minutes.
Igamane will also support Cortes on the left.
8.) 29 Nov 2024 08:02:33
has to be danillo sws because of his price and experience however igamane should be getting more minutes. And wedontbelieveyou dessers is honking and after last night should be on the bench.
9.) 29 Nov 2024 08:02:40
if it is coldo then for once I agree with every word he writes. the miss was down to lack of confidence, the skill before it was excellent. Others missed easy chances, Igamane and Yilmaz to name 2.
Igamane was not good enough last week for many and now he is the greatest after one game. I hope with all my heart he turns out to be a great player for us but too early to say after 1 game.
10.) 29 Nov 2024 08:09:12
So u saying Jefte goes LB Bajrami goes 10 n we sell Yilmaz n Lawrence ?.
11.) 29 Nov 2024 08:29:49
Only dessers gets slaughtered for a miss on here, lots of selective vision in relation to other misses.
12.) 29 Nov 2024 09:11:07
Just wonder how many posters that said he isn't worth 1.8m will be thinking today or were losing money on Diomande not a chance of that happening maybe just maybe they can see some of the talent he has.
13.) 29 Nov 2024 09:42:53
Who says he’s the greatest after one game Angus, the boy has strength, pace, skill and knows where the net is, nearly everyone has said he will have off games but he is a better option than Dessers and will improve as long as he has mins in every game going forward, as for we’d don’t believe you Dessers is not scoring those two goals last night, Danilo will start on Sunday and Igmanme will come on Dessers better get a warm tracksuit looked out.
13 Nov 2024 18:46:48
With the window coming is there anyone who we could offload to fund any incoming and not just ones off the wage bill, the only one I can think off is Ridvan that might interest parties and a few quid incoming?
1.) 13 Nov 2024 18:58:55
Ridvan, Tav, Dowell, Matondo and Dessers are the core group we are looking to move on.
2.) 13 Nov 2024 19:07:42
Agreed. Also I understand Lawrence as well
Lowry ishaka also likely to go.
3.) 13 Nov 2024 19:18:52
No surprises there EHL. Can't see us recouping anywhere near what we paid for Ridvan, maybe half.
4.) 13 Nov 2024 19:24:55
If we are looking to get rid of Dessers it is 6 months too late. Tav and Dowell are obvious ones we can lose, Matondos been rubbish and injury prone and Yilmaz just injury prone. None of them would be a great loss but we would need players in to boost the squad .
5.) 13 Nov 2024 19:57:47
What do we think we’ll get for that list? £5m?
I can see Dessers going on loan.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 20:16:02
I would be happy to get every one of those off the wage bill, but we have to replace with better. That shouldn't be difficult!
7.) 13 Nov 2024 20:54:38
Eh problem is we can only make three changes to Europe squad in feb.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 21:14:14
I’m guessing Lawrence is contract related or does PC just not fancy him?
9.) 13 Nov 2024 21:19:14
we wanted to get rid of dessers but he didn't want to go. same with Tav and Ridvan. can't force someone out of their contract.
10.) 13 Nov 2024 21:41:25
Lowery is such a disappointment for me, as the boy has talent, mental problems is it? Thought ishaka was rated as one to watch also? shame how quick it can change.
11.) 13 Nov 2024 22:07:04
We pay these kids too much money, they then think the have made it.
12.) 13 Nov 2024 23:25:28
John, how much would moving those on the list save us in wages per week, I agree a lot of players in there who won't be used regularly, as such cutting the cloth is best for both parties.
13.) 14 Nov 2024 01:26:39
We pay these kids big money so they don't leave and then they go downhill.
14.) 14 Nov 2024 06:10:21
I wouldn't worry about the EL squad, anything in that is a bonus. Our priority is sorting this squad and getting of those on EHL's list. You are right we do pay these youngsters far too much and it only enhances an already over inflated ego.
15.) 14 Nov 2024 06:54:37
Irvger I’d say around six million a year.
16.) 14 Nov 2024 07:14:18
Ridvan the only one a think there could be interest in and he would leave, the rest no one paying them the same cash and don’t have the potential to advance in their career, not going to be easy.
17.) 14 Nov 2024 07:40:32
Lawrence, Ridvan, and Matondo collectively missing around 30 weeks of the season through injury. Ballpark of 70k a week.
Just read this!
18.) 14 Nov 2024 07:56:57
John, thought I posted this last night, but must have forgot hit reply.
I understand that Lawrence already has a move back to England agreed, and it will happen at the end of the season, not in January.
Both club and Lawrence seem pretty comfortable with it as he's seen as one of the leaders amongst a relatively inexperienced squad.
19.) 14 Nov 2024 08:04:44
Ridvan and Matondo have interest and were both close to leaving preseason, so providing they are fit would expect both to move.
Tav I believe has now accepted that a move is in the best interest for all, again there is a lot of talk that he'll be gone in January with Wigan being the rumour - I would be surprised as I thought he'd be going to Championship.
Dowell is going to be a struggle.
Dessers, similar to Tav, I think he can see the writing on the wall with Danilos return.
20.) 14 Nov 2024 08:40:12
John I hope you’re right re Lawrence, but it would be a weird one as the manager plays him every minute he’s fit so would make you think he wouldn’t want to lose him? He’s not good enough and one of my biggest clement criticisms is his love for Lawrence so I’d be delighted if he moved on.
21.) 14 Nov 2024 09:07:53
Just proves our recruitment is all wrong sunshine.
22.) 14 Nov 2024 10:14:12
I've always thought McKinnon could make the step up.
23.) 14 Nov 2024 10:21:22
This is mental Danilo to take over from dessers? Really ? I do agree we need better but untill we can get 2 fit strikers that can score dessers stays as he’s the only striker we’ve had put up numbers and stay fit the last season and a half.
24.) 14 Nov 2024 11:18:30
What ever happened with Ridvan
are we selling him because he’s injury prone or just because PC doesn’t want him?
Or is it Ridvan wants away.
25.) 14 Nov 2024 11:25:03
Ehl I hear January as we would get nothing in the summer for Lawrence
There is interest in dowell league 1.
26.) 14 Nov 2024 12:03:05
We had a bad habit of turning our players into injury prone stingo, Yilmaz and Cortes didn't have one injury before signing for Rangers.
27.) 14 Nov 2024 12:03:13
Probably should add Hagi to the list, he`s back in the squad but you have to think if we got an offer we would sell him. Still doesn`t seem to be really part of the plans and he`s getting a sizable wage.
28.) 14 Nov 2024 12:38:52
Is lawrence not out of contract at the end of the season.
29.) 14 Nov 2024 16:40:04
Interesting John.
Have heard the league 1 links for Dowell, but understand he's not keen to drop to that level - he expects mid level championship.
Hearing different on Lawrence as the feeling would be low and he's regarded as a leader within the group.
I'd be happy to see him go mind you.
30.) 14 Nov 2024 20:26:36
He can want all he wants, league is his level. Awful player EHL.
31.) 14 Nov 2024 20:37:45
EHL he's certainly not a leader on the pitch. Anonymous majority of the time and IMO a man down.
32.) 14 Nov 2024 21:07:43
John, I have heard that Lawrence already has a return to England lined up. Will leave at the end of the season when his deal is up.
On top of Lowry and Ishaka, there's a chunk of academy players that we want to move on.
General feelings that they know they aren't good enough, and as a result don't bring the required energy levels to training and also block the pathway for the next batch.
Theres around 8-10 players in that bracket.
31 Oct 2024 14:17:35
Can't see the manager staying in a job, similar to the Man U team ( not in quality) they had no style of play and if we had not got points with goals just coming from individual skill we would be a lot further behind, that is scary to think about in this league and no one can see it getting any better.
1.) 31 Oct 2024 15:01:38
Still hundreds of tickets public sale available for sunday. Tells you all you need to know.
2.) 31 Oct 2024 15:22:18
I don't get the comparison at all. Man U have been investing 100s of Millions on thier team. We are full of freebies and youth players.
3.) 31 Oct 2024 16:38:10
Compared to the rest of the SPFL Rangers are cash rich. The fact Rangers cannot outperform an Aberdeen team that cost £2m is embarrassing. Time for Clement to go.
4.) 31 Oct 2024 17:23:38
It’s not hard to understand the comparison compare it to other teams in our league.
5.) 31 Oct 2024 18:27:30
A told you the comparison, a team with no style of play who should be doing a lot better, a even added the quality difference part in brackets incase there were primary kids on the forum ??♂️.
09 Dec 2024 18:29:47
Hopefully signed up and he continues to stay fit, Soapy has been great for club and country, all round from positioning to last ditch blocks he has been top, would cost few bob to replace the player with anyone who could give the same as he is giving at moment.
04 Dec 2024 22:37:23
Cameron got another couple of goals tonight, as most have said it’s a no brainer.
04 Dec 2024 17:23:21
Cameron been a stand out every time we have played them, a no brainer.
02 Dec 2024 12:41:54
Think Cameron will be here in January with a possibility of a couple of our younger players heading in other direction either on loan or sold, It would be ideal for Rice to go until summer at least to get him playing regular first team football, in the ideal football manager world we could rid of a couple off our wage bill and a transfer fee for Yilmaz to try and get miller, a decent striker in is a bit to much of a fairytale.
30 Nov 2024 19:43:29
Jefte timing and tackling actually good for a young defender, his positioning sense needs work but a could say that about every wing back these days, to say he is a bad defender is wide of the mark.
11 Dec 2024 12:38:04
Chelsea the team to watch from now on with pool city and Arsenal being the top four, such a hard league even for top teams.
10 Dec 2024 14:47:04
Watched the highlights of the spurs Rangers game on YouTube few weeks ago, Ian Ferguson gave Gazza a rough time, well worth a look if you get a chance.
09 Dec 2024 18:57:38
Was not keen on Hagi coming back but he has done everything right and is working well with the other three up top, starts Sunday especially as not in euro squad, think Barjami is a top player and will play his part on Sunday.
09 Dec 2024 18:23:42
SXMMCR I agree he probably the same as Dessers at finishing but his movement for the team is at different level, think that’s been the main thing that’s gave us a lift and looking more dangerous up front along with Hagi, Igamane and Cerny, early doors hopefully he can get up to 100% and stay fit for rest of season.
09 Dec 2024 16:03:53
A think Tav will start in final brings more to the the attacking line up we have shown in last couple of games, need to go for them and stop worrying what they bring at us.
