Parts of the media today reporting that Ross Barkley is odds-on to join Rangers. Also, the Evander transfer story is gathering pace as he has apparently knocked back a move to Turkey. Interesting.
1.) 31 Aug 2022 09:39:48
Can't see either joining.
2.) 31 Aug 2022 12:05:55
Someone would have to go first.
3.) 31 Aug 2022 17:14:30
I'd love to see Evander join but that would cost money so I don't see it happening. As for Barkley, no thanks. That would be a waste of money!
31 Jan 2022 15:22:23
Ramsey is apparently in Glasgow as I write this post.
17 Nov 2021 08:19:13
Morning Bears. The Herald reporting this morning that van Bronckhurst is set to be announced as the new Rangers manager as early as today.
1.) 17 Nov 2021 08:52:13
Yet the Record say it's unlikely we'll have a manager in place in time for Sunday.
2.) 17 Nov 2021 08:54:59
Hope so🤞.
3.) 17 Nov 2021 08:58:43
No they have not just read it.
4.) 17 Nov 2021 09:33:36
11am apparently 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not sure what day though. I'm waiting on GDog's daily update😂😂😂.
5.) 17 Nov 2021 09:49:26
Groundhog Day ☺.
6.) 17 Nov 2021 09:53:10
I’m still of them opinion Gio will be our next manager I’ve no proof of that it’s just my thoughts on it but he will not be in the dugout on Sunday again just my thoughts, I see him in the stand but this happens often when the new manager is in place just a few days before a game but are in the stand, I’ve looked through all the posts over the last few days and I think we just need to give the board the time they need to get the new manager in place it takes time contracts to deal with back room staff budget there are loads of things to iron out but I’ll be very happy with Gio stay calm.
7.) 17 Nov 2021 10:25:15
Apparently photographers outside the training centre.
8.) 17 Nov 2021 11:11:19
Didn't take to much time for villa to sort Gerrard contracts out 24hrs by all accounts so really ot takes as long as a conversation to be dictated and printed then signed.
9.) 17 Nov 2021 11:33:09
Ness the difference is the backroom staff Gio wants could be scattered around a number of different clubs and continents. Gerrard and his team were prepared for an offer and move to the EPL. Villa only had Rangers to deal with for all staff.
10.) 17 Nov 2021 11:33:32
I could guarantee you it takes more than 24 hour to sort contracts of an they may of course reach an agreement in principle though.
11.) 17 Nov 2021 12:01:25
MPH i think GDog must be going for 11am tomorrow now that it’s past that today.
12.) 17 Nov 2021 12:58:29
Can’t believe anyone thinks millions of pounds contract dealings “ take as long as it takes to have a conversation dictated?, printed, and signed “
Are you at the wind up mate.
13.) 17 Nov 2021 13:25:38
Think I'm right in saying, although deal was agreed for SG, he didn't sign it for a few days until certain things were sorted?
No offence to anybody on here, but I would want some definite backing from the board in January signed off before I agreed anything.
And get it in writing.
14.) 17 Nov 2021 13:27:38
NessBear; do you really think it was all done and dusted in 24hrs I think there may have been a lot went on before it was announced remember SG snd Villa chairman are friends I don’t believe for one minute there was no contact prior to the appointment only my thoughts.
15.) 17 Nov 2021 13:28:15
If Gio is to be our next manager, it will take time as his No 2 continues to be contracted to the Chinese club. People on here say that Numan would be great, if this is true, he is contracted to the Dutch Club as Chief Scout. Just 2 examples of why it could take a long time.
16.) 17 Nov 2021 13:33:13
What difference if its today, tomorrow or next week it’s going to happen anyway and the new manager will need time.
25 Jun 2021 08:28:40
It is reported in the S*n this morning that Morelos (or his agent) has agreed terms with Porto for a move there. Anyone else heard this?
1.) 25 Jun 2021 09:21:04
Heard it but only through the papers so wouldn't bet on it being 100 percent factual. It gets on my goat nowadays how these agents are agreeing terms with clubs before a fee has been agreed. I'm assuming they will have had to have been given permission by rangers to talk, but in my opinion you shouldn't be allowed to until fee is agreed. Makes it easier to turn a players head.
2.) 25 Jun 2021 09:27:17
All over news in portugal. Its where the sun and record got there story from. Would be very shocked if rangers dealt at 10 million. 15million is probably a fair price. Think he's definitely gone tho. Will we bring in another striker? Borre was mentioned.
3.) 25 Jun 2021 09:39:03
How can he agree terms unless rangers gave permission for him to talk to them?
4.) 25 Jun 2021 10:13:52
How can he agree terms unless rangers gave permission for him to talk to them?
There is a loophole in the football legislation regarding this, the player isn't allowed to speak to another club until the fee has been agreed, but the agent can speak to any club and negotiate.
5.) 25 Jun 2021 10:18:09
Rangers must have ok’d something or it wouldn’t be so public, it may happen behind the scenes but this has been all public since before the agent set foot in Portugal.
He’s clearly leaving so all the best to him, he leaves us with some great and not so great memories lol
However, we must hold out for maximum money. Don’t accept £10m n awe that s*** as what does that tell other clubs about the rest of our squad.
6.) 25 Jun 2021 10:48:42
I'll tell you one thing, alfredo will only be sold if porto or whoever else wants to sign him, meets our asking price, i'm very confident of that ðŸ‘Gone are the days that we're going to sell any of our players for well below their worth!
7.) 25 Jun 2021 11:11:26
Did he not agree terms with a French club last year.
8.) 25 Jun 2021 12:58:57
SGL i think he will go for around 13 mill with add ons. definitely won't get as much as were wanting last season.
9.) 25 Jun 2021 13:22:24
Looks like he is away for around 15m including add on’s, think Clark-Harris would be a good replacement for 7-8 Million.
10.) 25 Jun 2021 13:31:25
Hendo would rather bring borre in on a free. Were never going to spend 7mill again this season on 1 player. We have also got sakala in aswel.
11.) 25 Jun 2021 13:55:28
Fashion is already the replacement for me. I have high hopes for him he looks like the real deal and a style of player Rangers have never had. Proper technique for European football!
If 10m is the figure its a disgrace and frankly an embarrassment of a deal! Buff's all round game increased last season and for me his stock rose it did not fall. His link play was immense and contribution at times was exceptional. If Porto want him or anyone else, you don't accept less otherwise why do they want him. He bullied Portos defense for fun!
Shocking deal if true!
12.) 25 Jun 2021 18:14:05
Coop we won't get what we want for him. 1. He isn't worth it and 2. He will throw his toys out the pram again until he gets his move. He doesn't want to be here. I told you's this during the winter window of 2020.ðŸ‘.
13.) 25 Jun 2021 18:33:18
Can agree whatever they want but if our valuation is not met the agreement is useless.
14.) 25 Jun 2021 19:00:25
So do we end up with a fredo who will down tools again, same as he did last summer bellshill.? ðŸ‘.
15.) 25 Jun 2021 22:13:04
Think he will go for around 12 with add on’s. We have a replacement already and I think another will arrive. I still think Kamara and Hagi likely to go. So maybe generate around 25-27 million in sales with good free’s. Big wages instead of transfer fees. ðŸ˜.
16.) 25 Jun 2021 22:32:57
Coldo i usually agree with you pal but not regarding alfredo morelos mate 🤔 I truly think steven gerrard and ross wilson have set a fee for morelos and if it isn't met by porto or whoever else wants to sign alfredo, then he won't be sold mate 🤔
I think taking all things into account regarding the full alfredo package, then he most definitely is worth £15million and with add ons we should be getting close to that £20million mark 🤔
Also mate i rate glen kamara highly but he's not a £20million midfielder for me, i reckon around £12million and rangers would accept that for kamara. there's rangers supporters on here saying kamara is world class, well certainly nowhere near world class for me, he's certainly international class.
Paul gascoigne was world class to put this overhyped world class statement into perspective! World class gets lauded far too easy against players regularly, who are nowhere near world class and that's the god's honest truth.
17.) 25 Jun 2021 23:36:41
Clarke Harris would be a good replacement but Rangers are never going to pay 7 to 8 million on a striker from Peterborough when we wouldn't pay that to get Ivan Toney when we were linked to him last year.
18.) 26 Jun 2021 10:28:47
Just think Paul, this guy is class even better than Toney, he would score goals and his value would treble, its a good financial model, this guy will end up in the EPL.
19.) 26 Jun 2021 10:59:51
How can u say kamara isn’t world class coops? Anytime he’s performed on the European stage he’s been in the top 3 on the park every time. Playing in the euros he was the best player on the park in each of the 3 games he played. So anytime he’s performed at the top level he’s exceeded expectations. His stats at the euros put him top of all players for most imterseptions in the group stage. Top stats motm performances etc. That would make him the best in that position. World class coops, is when you’re one of the best at what u do in you’re position in the world. I think kamara is one of the best at what he does mate. Does it take for him to move to England, like tierney. To be seen to be what he is? Can u not see it with your own eyes what he is? If not u don’t have much of an eye for a player mate.
20.) 27 Jun 2021 10:13:49
Kamara is a good but never in a million years world class.
26 Feb 2021 09:44:03
According to the Sun, Leicester City and Roma are preparing a bidding war at £20 million for Edouard. If he is worth that, El Buffalo must be worth £50 million!
1.) 26 Feb 2021 10:04:26
Professional coaches know what they are looking for and it may be that edouard is a superstar in waiting
It might be that Alf is also a prized target, last nig Will certainly help him in his aim to go, let’s hope that they want him as much as they want Ed our day, it helps Rangers go forward.
2.) 26 Feb 2021 10:13:20
Hope they get it, will help to pay Lawell's and Lenny's golden handshakes .
Well deserved golden handshakes , ha ha ha.
3.) 26 Feb 2021 12:19:57
Big secrets there i'm told, my best pal owns a sky box above the stand, always has former legends in for tea, , I know a few well, they have no doubt there's a major confidentiality clause for lennys silence thus the long drawn out sacking, they allowed him to embarrass himself every week in interviews broadcast nationwide, no club wants a manager who storms off duty during a media session, very strange that, very strange indeed that they let him carry on when he clearly cannot handle questions.
4.) 26 Feb 2021 12:23:22
We should buy eduard from celtic to replace the injury prone roofe.
5.) 26 Feb 2021 13:06:45
Being totally unbiased here guys, i honestly think that both rangers and celtic will lose their star strikers alfredo morelos and odsonne edouard for £20million upwards in transfer fees for both strikers in the summer 🤔.
6.) 26 Feb 2021 15:37:29
They will do coop.
7.) 26 Feb 2021 19:07:38
Think both will go for between 15 to 20 lads. Eduard down to last year come the summer his value will drop significantly in summer.
8.) 27 Feb 2021 15:43:02
Difference between Ed and Alf us Ed might be a superstar in the making but Alf us a superstar just now 🤩🤩.

I thought we played well against Poland and Portugal and were so unlucky in both games. The weakness is in defence apart from Robertson who is a class act. McTominay and Gilmour were also very good. Also, we don't have a top class striker. Having said that, 1 win in 14 isn't good enough and Clarke needs to go. As a poster said the other day, perhaps Davie Moyes?
1.) 09 Sep 2024 07:56:56
Davie moyes would be an excellent choice DOIGER ? In fact a few posters on here over the last week or so suggested davie moyes to become the rangers manager ?.
2.) 09 Sep 2024 08:34:26
Not huge fan of Clark but to show the other side of the stats 4 of those games were draws and of the other 9 we lost only 1 of them was against a team who weren't at least 20 places above us in the rankings. Clark must have chosen the likes of Spain, England, Germany, Holland etc to give us a better chance of playing in the top group level. we played well in both it seems and lost by 2 late goals from defensive errors. Not sure how Moyes or anyone could improve. changing the manager isn't always the right choice.
3.) 09 Sep 2024 08:35:17
I can't get behind Clarke. The players you named are top quality.
However we stick with other players who are clearly not up to par. Primarily Ralston.
4.) 09 Sep 2024 09:21:45
Agree isn't the right quality but with injuries we don't have anyone to play there now. One thing about Ralston when he plays is that he gives 100% for the jersey and never let's his head go down. Ill settle for that from. player all day long. Quality is the bonus.
5.) 09 Sep 2024 09:24:02
We talk about the style of football we play and some people are suggesting David Moyes ? you’ve just got to laugh, just been relieved of his duties at West Ham for playing awful football . Same fans question why the board get so many decisions wrong, possibly because they listen to the fans .
6.) 09 Sep 2024 10:34:42
Moyes did lead West Ham to win a European trophy, the Europa Conference League, in 2023 and did a good job as manager of Everton for several years. You can't really count Man Utd as nobody has been able to follow Sir Alex Ferguson. At least he has managed at the top level. Clarke comes across as surly and miserable, hardly inspirational!
7.) 09 Sep 2024 12:03:21
Surely when we are getting a draw, they have put on an extra striker the players were tiring and the pressure was on, he should have put on an extra defender . Normally he`s so defensive in games we should attack, Hungary for example but in this game he`s putting on lightweight, inexperienced guys like Doak, Conway and Gauld instead of shoring up the team . A club manager would be sacked with his recent record, not just the losses but the amount of goals being conceded and no threat at the other end . He has an amazing ability to read almost every game wrongly.
8.) 09 Sep 2024 15:38:18
Walter I’d be absolutely stunned if moyes ever came to rangers, a very good manager of the underdog, football sty dreadful.
9.) 09 Sep 2024 23:10:28
Moyes would be an outstanding manager for Scotland. A change is needed and Clarke should have gone after the summer.
06 Sep 2024 09:20:56
I watched the Scotland v Poland game last night. Firstly, how sad that there were no Rangers players in the starting eleven. How times have changed when players like Greig, Caldow, Baxter, Ferguson, McCoist, etc were automatic picks for the national team. I actually thought the team played OK last night but schoolboy tackles cost us the game. What other manager would go one win in 13 games and not be sacked? Clarke should have been gone after the Euros fiasco. I think Derek McInnes would do a good job as Scotland manager.
1.) 06 Sep 2024 09:28:23
David Moyes for the new Scotland manager if it ever happens.
2.) 06 Sep 2024 09:36:19
Sad indictment on scottish football when there's no other scottish born manager in scotland bar mcinnes that could do the job, i don't think he would be a success either.
3.) 06 Sep 2024 10:09:56
Watched the match with my brother and he was complaining about how bad Scotland were. They certainly weren't great but as I told him, they were a damn sight better than us on Sunday and we could only dream of having players like McTominay and Robertson. That team is clearly now underperforming under Clarke.
On the bright side as somebody that can remember the likes of big Tam Forsyth and Sandy Jardine in Scotland tops, I reckon it's only a matter of time before Connor Barron gets his chance in the starting lineup.
4.) 06 Sep 2024 11:46:44
Teddy not sure what game you and your brother were watching mate, 2 stupid penalties and brilliant goal aside, Scotland dominated that game after polish first goal. No way did Scotland deserve to get beat last night, but that's the fine margins in international football. Big mctominnay is a class act, impressive every time I watch him.
5.) 06 Sep 2024 13:06:30
Used to be Rangers and Celtic players featured quite a lot in the 70’s, I also remember if you weren’t playing first team football you had no chance of being selected. Also if you were off form or had played a stinker for your country it was almost a certainty you would wait a while before being selected arms other players were in possession of the jersey.
6.) 06 Sep 2024 15:03:25
Scotland played well but two crazy tackles especially Grant Hanley on 95 minutes is what cost us. We seemed to have decided that we can actually attack to try and score rather that sit back and defend the zero.
13 Aug 2024 21:54:21
Well, having calmed down, I have never seen such a dreadful, biased referee performance in all my life. He cost us the game. Just because it's Ukraine doesn't mean that we have to roll over. Surely Rangers FC should protest/ complain to UEFA about the referee? I know the team is in transition but I thought that we were doing OK until that ridiculous red card. The referee is clearly corrupt and should be brought to book. Stay strong my fellow Bears.
1.) 14 Aug 2024 01:15:35
Are you trying to say the referee handed them the game out of sympathy for Ukraine? Wow, just wow, I thought I'd seen it all on here.
2.) 14 Aug 2024 02:54:24
Ref is a prat, cost us.
3.) 14 Aug 2024 07:01:41
Like most on here I seen the sending off coming at halftime. Text me mate and told him. Can anyone clarify if the Ukrainian guy got booked in first half for blatant shirt pull.
13 Aug 2024 18:19:43
Looking forward to tonight's game fellow Bears. I think we will do it. Let's get behind our beloved team and this game could really set us up for the rest of the season. It's a European game and we'll need to be patient but a win and we are one step closer to the CL group stages. WATP.
1.) 13 Aug 2024 18:28:32
Hoping for a quick start with a couple of early goals and to be out of sight before the 2nd half ?.
We’ve got this! ??????.
07 Aug 2024 08:14:12

31 Jan 2022 10:23:10
Ramsey on loan until the end of the season would clinch the league title for us, provided that Juventus pay most of his wages. He is a top class midfielder, better than anyone playing in the Scottish Premiership at the moment. A midfield with Ramsey, Aribo and Davis would be terrific. You never know!
12 Nov 2021 16:39:25
Maybe Lampard and Terry as a double act. There's a thought!
22 Sep 2020 11:16:27
Hardie never got a chance so we'll never know what might have been and I'm not suggesting for a minute that Shankland is anything other than a squad striker. But if Morelos does go soon who have we got in the short term as a striker? Itten hasn't had a chance yet, nor has Roofe (who isn't a striker anyway) . My god, you are such a misery Coldo!
22 Sep 2020 10:34:21
It's all about budgets these days craigs. Gone are the days when we could splash out £10 million for one player. Strength in depth is important as is being demonstrated with the injuries to Jack and Aribo in particular. I wish we had kept Docherty and/ or McCrorie though as either of them could have been a decent squad player. Also, I still say signing Shankland would bolster our attacking options, especially should Morelos go to Lille during this window.
31 Aug 2020 16:11:34
Jack, Aribo, Hagi, Kamara, Davis, Arfield. They are all very good midfielders much better than Ferguson or anyone else in Scotland in my opinion. We seem to have the best defence for years and it is iron curtain defences that win titles. No point scoring 4 and conceding 3. Get Morelos sorted one way or the other and give Itten and Roofe a chance. By Christmas, we may well be out of sight (ahead, I mean lol) .
09 Sep 2024 10:34:42
Moyes did lead West Ham to win a European trophy, the Europa Conference League, in 2023 and did a good job as manager of Everton for several years. You can't really count Man Utd as nobody has been able to follow Sir Alex Ferguson. At least he has managed at the top level. Clarke comes across as surly and miserable, hardly inspirational!

30 Aug 2024 15:53:07
Glad to see postive posters like Rangersforlife are still here.
11 Aug 2024 11:08:09
Good point 55. I've been thinking about this for a while. Most of our new signings seem to be foreign. I've nothing against that, but surely some of the young talent must be good enough to at least be in the first team squad? Also, how about homegrown players currently with other Scottish clubs? On that note, I'd definitely be in favour of signing Shankland.
