I know a lot of posters don't rate the MLS, but heard a new name being banded about today - Mihailovic.
Not from anyone connected with the club, so take with a pinch of salt.
1.) 29 May 2024 18:34:10
Not a name been bandied about but Christos Tzolis was impressive playing for Fortuna Dusseldorf in Bundesliga 2 this season.
Currently on loan from Norwich City.
2.) 29 May 2024 18:40:02
Copland, according to the chat today PC wanted to bring him in in January from AZ but we didn't have the funds - but he's a big fan of him.
14 Jan 2024 10:39:37
Some interesting chat today that's given some insight in to the mentality of the new Management Team.
Barron, deal was agreed in principle and we immediately revoked it when they asked for more money. Chat today was that they are trying to honour the original deal but we're not progressing as PC has questioned the mentality of the player.
McKenna, we spoke to player and agents, were very much interested and were willing to meet the provisional demands - we gave them a deadline to respond and this wasn't met - so we're moving on.
There's are a rumour that a number of the injury prone players have been advised that they no longer have a future as they've not been managing their recovery process sufficiently.
Looks like PC only wants players at the club who are 100% committed to being there.
1.) 14 Jan 2024 11:05:57
If this is all true (not doubting you) I have no problem with it. For too long we’ve had injury-prone passengers and players not up to the mentality required at rangers.
Full faith in bad bad bald phil - he clearly has the right mentality and if he doubts a potential incoming player has the commitment/ mentality required we should be moving on.
2.) 14 Jan 2024 11:11:12
Thanks EHL apreciate the info mate ??
I think cole McKinnon could do a job for us similar to that of Conor Barron,
We know it’s left centre back we’re looking at but again I’ll say, Lewis mayo is someone we should be looking more at. We have a buy back option and he’s one of best defenders in the league.
I actually prefer him to Souttar. Plays on the right of the defence but as back up to a first pick he’s a great addition.
Also like shankland and Danny Armstrong.
Lennon miller is one od like to sign and loan back for 1 year.
3.) 14 Jan 2024 11:42:09
Don’t think we will get miller to be honest stevie we have tried a few times.
4.) 14 Jan 2024 11:59:39
There are always these kind of rumours about the injury prone players.
5.) 14 Jan 2024 12:00:20
I doubt this is true but if it is well done pc.
6.) 14 Jan 2024 12:04:48
Will29, agree 100%.
Also, this is just rumours from some coaching sessions this morning - could be close to the truth, could be miles away from reality.
I only tend to post the rumours from the guys I tend to believe though.
7.) 14 Jan 2024 12:05:32
StevieG2 - tend to agree, think our squad should be bolstered by some of the younger squad and some tried and tested SPL players.
8.) 14 Jan 2024 12:08:38
That’s very interesting information EHL, it’s about time the management took control. We are Rangers and players shouldn’t be allowed to backtrack with us?
9.) 14 Jan 2024 12:57:23
He's trying to create an elite squad, you can clearly see that. He understands what the club demands and it would seem his own demands are on par. Can't wait to see what the future holds because I think he'll take us places.
10.) 14 Jan 2024 13:29:33
Mi info which I said last week is we have stepped back from Barron for now on clement say so.
11.) 14 Jan 2024 13:37:10
I don’t doubt or have an issue with clement wanting the injury prone players away from us, but I doubt he’s telling them that early January.
The chances are between now and the summer you will need them at some point and by telling them now that they will be away, there's a risk they will down tools. He’s not going to tell Roofe for example that he has no future at the club then ask him to come off the bench and rescue a game for us with a goal.
Based on the current market and the options in our squad, it looks very much like PC is stuck with the majority of what he’s got until the summer. He won’t want to upset anyone within in, he’ll need to utilise them all until he can make changes.
12.) 14 Jan 2024 13:37:15
Encouraging if true. The number of injury prone players signed and the number of times that injured players return only to be injured again almost immediately has been a concern for some time.
I'm encouraged by the professionalism of this management team but they will need considerable support from the Board if we are to reach the levels that can be achieved.
13.) 14 Jan 2024 13:39:18
Hope we don’t cut our nose off to spite our face with Barron as I think he’d be very good for us. If it is true he won’t be happy with his new agents for pushing for more money.
14.) 14 jan 2024 13:59:25
every good info as always ehl,
15.) 14 Jan 2024 14:22:35
Fruitbear, from what I gather it's not a blanket approach to all our injured players.
PC appears to be very strict in terms of his application of sports science and the rumour is a number of the injured players have either neglected to follow their recovery plans exactly or have chosen to follow advice from their own fitness teams - for those players, I believe we now have a zero tolerance approach.
16.) 14 Jan 2024 14:35:44
Good info mate, as I said I don’t doubt PC will cut the deadwood loose. Just think he will (unfortunately) to work with what’s there until the summer.
It’s good we seem to have a manager that doesn’t take any passengers.
17.) 14 Jan 2024 15:09:37
Thanks for that information mate. Great post.
18.) 14 Jan 2024 15:35:53
Barron Watson and miller would be some midfield in a few years even if 1or2 make the grade would be money well spent.
19.) 14 Jan 2024 16:53:00
Injury prone list not, exhaustive
Roofe
Souttar
Lawrence
So what you’re saying is they are finished at us?
20.) 14 Jan 2024 18:17:00
That’s exactly what he’s saying Ravers! ?
Although Souttar isn’t injured a lot? He’s just bang avg.
21.) 14 Jan 2024 21:19:11
Could add Yimaz and balogun and Jack to that list then?
Maybe Matondo?
Danilo?
Davies.
22.) 15 Jan 2024 01:26:51
Players that are out of contract in summer must know there self that they will be leaving, as there has been no offers/ talks of new contracts, so if required to play would you not try your best to attract more interest come summer, unless you have something lined up and you don't want to risk further injuries. we have had a few like that in past.
23.) 15 Jan 2024 01:56:24
Balogun, Jack, Roofe, Mclaughlin, Barisicare all away in 6 months, along with Lundstram unless lunny signs an extension.
would not sell Danilo, Matondo or Yilmaz all young and talented, sort of players we should be keeping, if they can stay fit and hit there best form.
Gofur i reckon your right mate, Don't see much coming from Silva, unless PC can work his magic on the lad and get him scoring again regularly.
24.) 15 Jan 2024 08:34:07
Laudrup lunny will stay imo. so will yilmaz come summer amd u lost me at matondo talented. Bang average. 1 of the highest wages and not really doing a lot needs moved on.
25.) 15 Jan 2024 15:08:35
For me Matondo has had his chance and hasn't taken it. If we could get decent money for him I would gladly take it. Unless he is free from his injuries, (which I suspect is not the case then I would also be looking to move Souttar on if there was any interest.
We need to have players that we can have for a full season, not players that we know are injury prone when we sign them.
26.) 15 Jan 2024 18:31:01
I think you can put Clement calling up youth to first team tells you he wants a look at these guys first.
For me it means he wants to try maximise his budget.
02 Jan 2024 14:50:36
Met up with a few of the youth coaches with Rangers and Scotland last night and got some gossip - most of which has already been shared.
Barron is as good as done and will come in this month if we can move someone on.
McKenna is in the works, but couple of complications are wage demands and he wants to join a new club now - and we need to move players on first.
Shankland isn't being actively explored.
King and McCrorie have good loan offers from SPL clubs, but both moves are complicated as the clubs are restricted on the number of loan players they can bring in so may not happen until the end of the window.
Devine has loan offers but not from a level that Rangers want.
Lastly a new name, a LB currently on loan at St Mirren - Thierry Small, who we are apparently keeping a watchful eye on.
1.) 02 Jan 2024 16:41:16
EHL, i don't think we'll be signing scott mckenna unfortunately mate ? Celtic are in discussions with mckenna and his agent and are prepared to sign him now, as opposed to signing him on a pre contract ? Middlesbrough also have held discussions with mckenna's agent, no mention of rangers talking to him at this moment in time with celtic seemingly big favourites to sign him ?.
2.) 02 jan 2024 16:42:00
i like your posts mate, you know your stuff and i'm grateful for the info, i'm surprised you say mckenna is still a possibility as i thought as soon as celtic showed interest that would be that, but ma6be they havnt spoken to him?
3.) 02 Jan 2024 17:20:17
Great info mate
Certainly interesting month ahead.
4.) 02 Jan 2024 19:58:29
Id be delighted if McKenna went to them. I don’t think he offers anything better than we have currently.
5.) 02 Jan 2024 22:33:00
Been linked with small since last season.
27 Oct 2023 19:42:56
Had an interesting catch up with some friends who work at Rangers and they said that a lot of what PC is doing behind the scenes is very similar to what GVB and his team tried to do - which a lot of the players didn't take to.
1.) 27 Oct 2023 19:52:31
A lot of the players we have need moved on so that doesn't concern me. If they can't better themself or cope with changes and demands then cheerio.
2.) 27 Oct 2023 19:55:44
New manager same ideas?
You never know they might actually play for him.
3.) 27 Oct 2023 20:27:20
Too many auld guard had it too easy for too long n hit periods of underperformance with little too no cociqunce, also to many wit too much influence but not the play too back it up
Don't like it move on
Nobody's bigger than the team
Tune up or tune out.
4.) 27 Oct 2023 21:39:14
The core of this team have a history of throwing the manager under the bus and need to be replaced if PC wants a long and successful time as Rangers manager, because as we have seen over the last three years as soon as the going gets tough these same core of players will down tools.
5.) 27 Oct 2023 22:38:33
Big difference in character. Gio was a pushover. Clement won't tolerate nonsense.
6.) 28 Oct 2023 04:28:33
Look in my complete personal opinion from the info I’ve gathered. Gio’s downfall was completely on partly being too lenient on player performances and partly being too defensive minded when setting up against teams we should be beating.
I have heard nothing of this around Clement of yet. I feel people aren’t completely understanding the rubbish show that Beale left him. Hopefully Clement can sort at least the majority of this out in Jan but it probably will take longer.
I know people won’t want to hear/ accept/ acknowledge it but at the very least our club has been a rubbish show since around appointing Beale (definitely longer as well) . But as usual we are left to pick up the pieces and trying to move forward.
7.) 28 Oct 2023 04:35:28
We need to give Clement the time to change things as he sees fit. A section of our fans just don’t seem happy with anything the club do! I, personally still think we could do at least a double this year!
8.) 28 Oct 2023 08:26:09
We have not had a quality manager since were kicked down the divisions, but I believe we now have one, although early days, and we need to give him time. Some of our players will prosper under PC, and some will have to be replaced if they don't show it on the pitch. Next few games will give us a good idea of the progress our new man will make.
9.) 28 Oct 2023 08:33:02
There is a major difference this time. The guys that were primarily involved in the Clement appointment, Bisgrove and Bennett, involved Souness in the process so you had three professionals. In the past I would suggest that this wasn't the case.
Some of our old Board, that are no longer there, were as much of a problem as the manager.
Thankfully we now have a proven manager, probably the first since Walter, (and I say that with the greatest respect for Stephen Gerrard) .
With the right players, (and I agree that we need to steadily replace the old faces), we should look forward to a period of success, but he will need time and he will need everyone behind him.
10.) 28 Oct 2023 08:56:55
Gio's downfall apparently started during the preseason trip to Portugal some of the players weren't happy with the rules he set in place for the trip.
11.) 28 Oct 2023 10:28:57
What player threw the manager under the buss? You wanted Beale out now he’s gone yer blaming players our fans are always looking for someone to hate.
12.) 28 oct 2023 15:02:57
you just love the old “ our fans “ abuse raskin.
13.) 28 Oct 2023 12:14:02
Board need to make clear to long servers follow manager and do what he wants
We can only keep swapping manager for so long before board realise it's long serving clique players that are the problem.
14.) 28 oct 2023 20:11:11
we don't swap any managers, , no manager worth his salt will allow any clique to buckle him amd the board will support a good manager,
15.) 29 Oct 2023 01:56:45
So true TT1212. If this happened in a normal work place. Chaos!
16.) 30 Oct 2023 16:11:48
White horse, that is why in any Business the Board and in particular the chairman has to be 100% behind any new appointment. I have seen it personally, (during my working life I went into underperforming Companies with a remit to turn them round, where I had 100% commitment from the Board and the Chairman it worked. It's exactly the same for Clement, he has the job of turning round a non performing Business, (unfortunately his job is much more complicated, I could just get rid of non performers irrespective of what level they were at with the total commitment of the Board, and I could replace them with a top team, sadly he doesn't have that level of flexibility) .

I know there's a lot of frustration on here at the moment - some merited, some a little bonkers and a load that's clearly Celtic fans at the wind up.
However, I suspect that Bajrami, Igamane and Kasanwirjo are going to bring a lot of smiles back to the majority.
Also, watch out for Raskins redemption arc!
1.) 06 Sep 2024 18:57:51
ehl2020 hope your spot on pal.
2.) 06 Sep 2024 21:55:55
I admire your optimism however you lost me at Raskin's redemption.
3.) 06 Sep 2024 21:59:32
I don't think I've ever seen a player strike a ball like Igamane before - in terms of natural talent he's ridiculous.
4.) 06 Sep 2024 22:51:55
Ehl good hearing this mate, I meant to ask if you've worked with him a couple of weeks ago mate.
5.) 07 Sep 2024 11:17:37
EHL2020. I hope you are correct and we have a light at the end of the tunnel. ?????????.
30 Aug 2024 07:48:59
Enough of the doom and gloom, today brings to the end the first wave of the rebuild and the European draw.
Think the squad will be stronger overall, but with a lot of young inexperienced players it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Hopefully the work the club is doing behind the scenes pays off in terms of fitness, as if we can keep the core of the team fit we'll be amongst it when the trophies are awarded.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 08:09:02
Ehl no doom and gloom here mate actually excited about today.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 08:18:07
We are not stronger overall, that's just not true. If we sign some quality first 11 starters, then yes, we will be stronger, but, at this precise moment, we're not stronger. Infact, this is the weakest we've been since SG took over!
3.) 30 Aug 2024 08:38:42
I think we've done quite well moving out as many players as we have this window.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 08:39:24
Sunshine no it’s not. There are still a couple positions that need filled i. e. a centre back and a number 10 but once that’s done then I think we’re in a good place. Our squad has gone from aging players on massive wages who don’t give a F to young lads who are here to improve and win. We’re 2 or 3 away from this being a good window imo.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 08:45:42
The best starting 11 is better than last season sunshine, on paper it maybe doesn’t look that way because it’s lesser names etc but lunny, goldson, and the rest were all part of the problem . They won’t be missed and lunny is out of the Turks 11 already.
6.) 30 Aug 2024 09:26:53
Totally agree coully.
7.) 30 Aug 2024 09:37:54
Sorry but saying last year we were strong is a huge insult.
We have managed to get rid of a fair bit of dead weight.
Sunshine. would you rather Goldson, Lunny, Borna, Wright, Roofe, Jack, Davies were still in our squad? WOW
Jefte, Diomande and Cerny i think will prove to be really good signings. Cortes if he can stay fit.
And Barron, if he keeps o going the way he is then be good be great.
8.) 30 Aug 2024 09:39:56
This transfer window is not going to totally transform team but as lads on here noted we have had to shift so much dross and wannabes from this team that it will take time - gut feeling is it will be several windows before we see true progress but some positivity is growing and we ALL need to buy in to the process - pity we don't have Champ L money but looking across city I don't really see too much to fear -we need to be better in midfield vs them on Sunday as that's been our downfall in recent OF games - get right in McGregors face for full 90 - so onwards and upwards - hopefully at least 2 new faces to boost this window would be good - praying this is the start of a new dawn for Rangers and we can have a team who makes us proud once more to follow follow?.
9.) 30 Aug 2024 09:45:54
So, david, you're saying that we still need a couple of positions filled then we're in a good place. Is that not what I said? Yip, I think it was! If we don't sign anyone, we are weaker! If we sign quality, who automatically enhance the team, and go straight into the starting 11, we are stronger! It's not hard to understand!
10.) 30 Aug 2024 09:47:10
I am agreeing with SS.
11.) 30 Aug 2024 09:55:01
Totally agree Sunshine. I think some of the players we’ve signed might make us stronger in the future but today it’s a s***show and we’re going into the first old firm with Tav, Souttar and Lawrence likely to be in our starting 11. It’s heartbreaking to be honest.
12.) 30 Aug 2024 11:03:19
It’s not been a rebuild it’s been a downsizing.
13.) 30 Aug 2024 11:11:47
We don't know how good these players are yet. we got to trust the process etc koppen etc.
Pmab.
14.) 30 Aug 2024 12:12:06
Sunshine is 100% spot on people don’t like the truth on here.
15.) 30 Aug 2024 12:25:32
They definitely don't wishy.
22 Aug 2024 16:29:32
Could be a crazy couple of weeks that either makes or breaks the season;
GK.
Butland, interest from EPL, valuation not met.
RB.
Tav, interest from Europe and Saudi, getting close to our valuation.
Devine, Loan interest within SPL
CB.
Davies, interest from multiple championship clubs, loan to buy looking most likely.
King, loan interest from multiple SPL sides
LB.
Yilmaz, interest from Europe, valuation not met.
CM.
Cantwell, multiple offers on the table, down to player to decide.
Lawrence, interest from Championship but valuations miles apart.
Hagi, interest from Europe, valuation not a problem on this one - issue is the quality of clubs interested.
Lowry, loan interest from SPL.
LW
Matondo, multiple offers from Championship, loan to buy looking most likely.
I know most would love to see the majority move, but realistically can we turn around this number of players in one window?
1.) 22 Aug 2024 16:50:04
Only one I would be disappointed losing would be Butland the rest I’d sell they are not good enough and won’t win the league with them so having a large turn over and players not settled isn’t going to make a difference to the outcome of not winning the league but it does give as an outside chance that they all hit the ground running and is take they odds over the current players staying and winning anything.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 17:26:46
Great info EHL, let’s hope some go soon and give us the opportunity to bring new players in.
3.) 22 Aug 2024 17:29:44
Would be delighted to see Butland go, at this moment in time he would represent the best way to get some capital to strengthen other key areas
Kelly would be capable of playing behind a better defensive unit.
4.) 22 Aug 2024 17:43:15
8 days to move and replace that lot never in a month of Sundays.
Its going to the wire but I would reckon 2 out and maybe 2 in.
5.) 22 Aug 2024 17:50:15
Good info Ehl, hopefully a few moved out very soon.
6.) 22 Aug 2024 19:03:13
Tav valuation has been met several times. Problem is Tav will miss out on a testimonial if he leaves circa £1-2m so he is looking for this as a pay off to leave.
7.) 22 Aug 2024 19:12:45
Haha there’s no way we move that many players on and bring in replacements in the time that’s left!
8.) 22 Aug 2024 20:05:20
Are testimonials not for charity these days? If that is truei, it's fecking ridiculous the money he's earned from our club. I can't see that being the case surely not.
9.) 22 Aug 2024 20:23:10
Bornabear, that's a new one to me. Most of the players I know who have had testimonials gave most of the money to charity.
10.) 22 Aug 2024 20:31:40
I don’t think for a moment the testimonial plays any part in his thinking .
It’s the 30+k a week that he won’t get anywhere else that’s holding him back .
If a player who has been earning 1.5m a season for the last how many years needs a testimonial then I fear for his long term financial future is bleak.
11.) 23 Aug 2024 08:53:10
He's not going to get that, he is absolutely gash, but but he done this and that and is top scoring defender in UK. So what, he is done, he can't do that now, past glories are no use in the present for a guy with no pace, or that gets constantly caught out of position. He was great, not anymore.
12.) 23 Aug 2024 09:25:58
I would sell them all asap. Get in a few replacements. We won't win the league with them so what's the point in keeping them. Some fresh blood in and bring up a couple youth players :) happy days.
02 Aug 2024 10:33:37
Never made it to Rangers as a player, but finally joined the club today as a coach.
Lol, can't believe PC pinched the limelight by announcing his extension. or maybe he only extended as he heard I was joining!
1.) 02 Aug 2024 12:03:17
EHL?very well done mate, you will be on top of the world just now, congratulations again mate?.
2.) 02 Aug 2024 12:27:28
All the best EHL ?.
3.) 02 Aug 2024 12:40:01
Well done EHl absolutely buzzing for you
Hope it all goes well for you
Now tell them what we all want and need ??.
4.) 02 Aug 2024 13:00:04

6.) 02 Aug 2024 16:50:46
Congratulations mate ? what an honour.
29 Jun 2024 12:58:25
Bonkers seeing some of the English clubs "exchanging" home grown talent in order to bypass PSR before the deadline tomorrow.
1.) 29 Jun 2024 14:02:58
Ehl, a very clever move, not doing player swaps,
Selling an academy player is pure profit to seller, buyer then can spread payment over five years. Win win, we r about to see some crazy prices for kids.
Wonder when that loop hole will be closed.
08 Sep 2024 13:07:25
Tav has been the best right back we have at the club, it's why he's not been dropped.
08 Sep 2024 09:24:48
There is a lot of interest, from what I hear one has been rumbling for a while but seems to be gathering a bit more momentum at the moment.
06 Sep 2024 14:49:00
We'll be weaker with out him and I wouldn't blame him for leaving.
Big question is, who would be the next Scape goat?
06 Sep 2024 11:59:41
Rfc55loyal - if you can't recognise the change on style of play from MB to PC then it's not really on me to explain it.
06 Sep 2024 09:39:11
Cantwell didn't fit in with the managers style of football and wasn't willing to adapt - that's why he is no longer at the club.
All his perceived personal and personality are only an issue as he wasn't performing.
If he was, we wouldn't be moaning about them - in fact I'm willing to bet we'd be defending him.
He's gone, let's move on.
09 Sep 2024 19:24:46
I think we'll see him left side of the midfield 3 in most games.
09 Sep 2024 19:23:18
Just my opinion, but a group of players got GVB sacked as they could see that the writing was on the wall for them.
PC has identified many of the same issues and is addressing them.
Unfortunately we haven't managed to move them all on, but there is a big enough shift in the squad dynamics to see some serious improvement.
Time will tell if PC can deliver, but I suspect he will.
08 Sep 2024 13:10:01
I don't think you get to his level of management without being stubborn and arrogant.
Personally I like the Guy.
