Bit of a worry if true both Biscrove and Bennett in London to do interviews, neither have enough football knowledge. only person likely to be in London is Parker.
1.) 09 Oct 2023 10:04:13
How’s that, my info Bennett has met no one at this stage, a mix of Bisgrove with Robertson or souness.
2.) 09 Oct 2023 10:06:40
Or W Rooney? ? - or anyone else who can fly into London? London is a hub after all?.
3.) 09 Oct 2023 10:21:14
Football knowledge, yep that's the problem with many clubs upper management . there isn't any and we are certainly struggling with it . They take positions they know nothing about then have to bring in others to help them .
4.) 09 Oct 2023 11:07:09
Ger58 clement is in london.
5.) 09 Oct 2023 11:14:32
John, I'd like to see Souness in some type of full time roll at the club. I know he's around 70, but still could be able to do a job for us.
6.) 09 Oct 2023 12:35:13
Is Souness involved in the selection process for the new manager?
7.) 09 Oct 2023 12:38:24
It depends what u actually want him to do, I’m hearing he may become a non executive direcTor on he board.
8.) 09 Oct 2023 12:51:35
Copland, he is the advisor to the panel. Has sat in on some off the interviewing.
9.) 09 Oct 2023 13:23:49
London is just a central point to meet various candidates and it is away from the Scottish media sniffing around . Easier to have interviews without anyone knowing who you are talking to. Interesting that Souness is involved after that nob Simon Jordan said that he had spoken to him and he bad mouthed the board . Hardly likely to be involved in this, if that was true.
10.) 09 Oct 2023 15:52:28
Manager is always a gamble if they will work or not.
Not all managers that fail are useless they all get the sack eventually
If the board are leaning on souness only shows they are doing right thing in getting a football persons opinion.
11.) 09 Oct 2023 17:34:16
Souness lives in the Bournemouth Area, he is advising Bennett and Bisgrove and has been doing so. A lot of our Commercial Activity is run from London and as such I suspect that Bisgrove spends quite a bit of time there. Bennett might well do the same given his Business Activity. Add to that the fact that any overseas manager can fly into London much easier than Glasgow and it keeps them out of the sight of the Scottish Press. (Flying through Heathrow they are likely to come through the VIP Lounge which is relatively confidential compared to Glasgow or Edinburgh.
As far as I am aware, Clement has a home in the London Area. If Mucat is flying in for a meeting, (rather than a Zoom call), then he can fly direct to London, and there could still be a left field Applicant that the media isn't aware of or have discounted!
12.) 09 Oct 2023 18:22:16
Thanks John.

Any truth in the rumours Lowry is going out on loan. looks like he is down pecking order with signing we have made. can't see him getting much game time if he stays.
1.) 18 Jul 2022 03:54:29
That's a good idea question I wouldn't be surprised if he does I would be happy if he's guaranteed at least 20 games at Rangers he wouldn't be guaranteed that I want him to keep developing I hope he continues to at the pase he has been.
2.) 18 Jul 2022 06:49:05
At present Lowry is injuted.
3.) 18 Jul 2022 07:56:09
The signings must be pretty good if we are going to risk holding Lowry back, for me he was set to star this season as a 10 but Tillman and Lawrence have both been signed seem to play that role.
4.) 18 Jul 2022 09:17:41
If he goes on loan, it should not be a division lower. This lad has shown he can perform at least to SPL level.
Personally I'd hold onto him, we have quite a few injury prone players on the books.
5.) 18 Jul 2022 11:07:55
Agreed Bar72, i'd keep him with us this season as well.
6.) 18 Jul 2022 11:47:12
For me he stays but he must get games.
I really don’t think our kids will get time under Gio and that surprises me.
I think most of us can see Lowry has the potential to be the real deal.
7.) 18 Jul 2022 12:02:44
He should stay, even if its giving him minutes from the bench . This boy is the real deal and farming him out to lower league clubs won`t help him. He needs to be looking up not down.
8.) 18 Jul 2022 23:22:07
Only concern is if Lowry stays and does not get game time, we will have very unhappy player, plus if other youngsters see this happening, less inclined to sign contract with us, Think Lowry could be first class just needs the chance.

Clement is delusional if he thinks it was only down to finishing, we were terrible no shape or real tactics, if he can't see Tav is finished, cerny is just not good enough, Barron runs about a lot but makes so many mistakes, as for Dessers if he would stop trying to get fouls and get on with actually trying to help team but I suppose it down to how poor a player he is. As for some of others signed can anyone actually see us making future profits on many of them. i know we can't keep changing managers but we have to do something before it is too late, PC is set in his ways and not going to change and he has shown so far he is not capable of turning things round,
1.) 04 Oct 2024 06:21:53
Last week they all have a clue this week not we just got beat by a bette team.
I think the stats are roughly lost two at home in 18 matches in Europa league and both been Lyon.
2.) 04 Oct 2024 07:26:38
Wow, i was expecting to see some grim posts today, but this is wild.
3.) 04 Oct 2024 07:31:33
Gers - Poor finishing cost us dearly but must disagree re Barron - he has been our outstanding player from start of season and constantly wants the ball unlike others in team (we could do with more having his same attitude and desire) agree re Tavs as he was burned by their wee winger but who was not in our team (some player) - but realism must kick in too - they spent upwards of 100 million in summer and look at our rebuild - money definitely talks. However IF Cerny had finished early things could have been different - just shows how badly we need a true poacher up front imho.
4.) 04 Oct 2024 08:34:07
EHL, BF and Storm agree with all your points. we are either the best in the world or the worst no in between. If Cerny and Tavs had scored their chances then our confidence is high and their tails are down. It is about taking chances when they come and we didn't take ours and they did. Their front 3 are the best I've seen for a long time and will give lots of teams a hard time. they dragged us around as we were trying. to double up against them and a trick took them clear. as BF3 says money does buy you ready made quality and a good team allows you to give the 19yo Fofana a chance to shine.
5.) 04 Oct 2024 09:02:14
Some folk on here still watch games and actually think dessers is a player, yet again this season his goals come against the dross ( St johnstone, motherwell, Ross county) but next to nothing in big games that matter, why? because he's brutal! the apologists say he gets no service and sometimes there's some truth in it but he could still do other things much better ( if he was any good) he can't hold it up, rarely wins a physical battle, spends half of matches on his backside or arguing with refs, if that had been mark hateley or dado prso, or dare I say it hartson or Sutton for the manky mob they would've got on with it and bullied their centre halves, if we as fans continue to believe guys like this can recapture the number 1 position in Scotland then it shows just how far our standards have dropped, the scary thing is there are 5 or 6 others just as bad as him, tav is finished and as for cerny, mcausland, propper and diomande, well they are horrendous too- the only bright spark was bajrami who was excellent again and must already be wondering what he's joined, he looks on a different level to the rest of our team.
6.) 04 Oct 2024 09:57:38
Brilliant post Jackboy55.
05 Sep 2024 15:41:43
The europa squad just about sums up the shambles we are as a club, no Dinilo there must be more to his injury recovery than is being reported
Motondo why is he still at club, one good game Ross County and he is a world beater, why keep him if not using him
Surely both should be there before Dowell.
Now convinced Clement not what we require, who we get I don't know, but if we carry on like this it's not second we should worry about, it will we qualify for Europe next year.
1.) 05 Sep 2024 16:18:54
Gets he is on Holland seeing a special-ist.
2.) 05 Sep 2024 16:27:17
It’s not good Gers, Dessers and the Moroccan lad only realistic options as strikers. problems in other areas also.
3.) 05 Sep 2024 16:28:02
Both players are injures.
4.) 05 Sep 2024 16:37:14
PC was annoyed last year because couldn't have a full squad in Europe so doesn't buy homegrown except Barron and Kelly so we even we've less than before.
5.) 05 Sep 2024 18:31:37
Deary me, both players are injured and will be out for the next month minimum.
What would you want the manager to do with that news eh.
6.) 05 Sep 2024 20:49:20
Rose ale that’s one more striker than last year.
02 Sep 2024 05:05:41
Defeat is bad enough, but when you have players who are not even doing the dasics right it is worse, first goal if Motondo had tracked back could have prevented cross coming in, plus Tav once more not covering there man, other 2 goals just poor passing to give ball away cheaply, as for Dessers if you watched his body language as soon as he lost ball just gave up. i know we keep saying it will take more than one window to complete rebuild but where is money coming from. We have very little sellable assets, we can't even give some of them away for free, as we pay them inflated wages so rightly so they are not going to leave, yes board are responsible for a lot of mess we are in but who do we get to replace them, Fans will likely be expected to pay more for tickets to try and make more money what price are Europa tickets going to be, as they will look at the fact we will only get 4 home games, as can't see us progressing with this squad, rant over only want best for club but future looks bleak.
1.) 02 Sep 2024 07:28:24
We should have sold Butland! Would Kelly have been any worse think not .
2.) 02 Sep 2024 08:34:22
Patchwork quilt Vs Well Oiled Machine sums it up for me.
We will improve with time, but we need to patient.
I'm well in the minority, but I'm optimistic.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 08:36:02
A hard fought defeat is difficult to take but that’s not what we witnessed.
This was another mauling, so easy to play through no goal scoring threat .
The goal they scored which was chopped off ended our resistance we just seemed to accept the defeat which was coming, why do we have players that let their opponents run off them so easily, why are we still getting caught out by a quick throw how many times does it need to happen before the penny drops.
We simply cannot play against them with the managers preferred set up we are simply not good enough, I’m struggling to see any meaningful coaching of the players it’s just Groundhog Day.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 09:03:16
is Clement just Beale in disguise?
He tries to talk a good game but it doesn't show on the pitch.
Pure waffle merchant!
5.) 02 Sep 2024 10:03:25
I would have sold Butland. Nowhere near as good as some fans make out.
25 Aug 2024 04:27:03
Surely yesterday was perfect time to play King when Balagon got injured, instead of disrupting midfield. if not why is he still at club waste of a wage better to move him on, allegedly on 8k a week. again shows ridiculous amount we are paying in wages to some. we have quite a few so called young players in 20 to 22 range, who if we are honest are not going to make it at club, been here long enough with little game time,
1.) 25 Aug 2024 06:52:20
I agree paying over 30k a week for a wee baby like Cantwell is way to much money.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 07:34:14
Very true Gers58. I think it’s time for King, Devine and Lowry to move on they might still have good careers but I think this ties into what PC was saying they don’t play enough competitive football if they are not getting first team mins. B team set up is not a good enough level and the jump up is too big. Sadly King showed a lot of promise early on but hasn’t progressed enough and GVBs time probably did his confidence no favours in the UCL.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 07:53:08
I get what you're saying about king but the manager obviously sees him as a last resort. It's not PCs fault the boy isn't good enough or how much wages he's on but one thing for sure yesterday is that the midfield was not disrupted but instead the substitution led to an immediate goal and energised the midfield . I'd be surprised to see king even on the bench moving forward if PC signs another CB.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 08:29:59
Dio was really good when he came on and PC won't play King next week so playing sterling made sense as he maybe needed at ch.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 08:59:25
Maybe if it wasn't just 1-0at that point given how low on confidence we have been. He got things tight yesterday and we were outstanding against a poor county team. Looking to go forward at every opportunity and actually shooting rather than dithering on the ball. Dessers looks a different player with confidence, shooting and hold up play and passing was excellent. Looking forward for once to what this week will bring.
15 Aug 2024 08:37:02
Have been following Rangers from way back in Dave White era so witnessed some poor Rangers teams, but they at least had some fight about them, current team is one of worst teams I have watched, how have managed to get in this position, lack of direction from Board, signing players who are not fit or don't suit scottish game, so poor scouting, team has no apparent set formation, playing players who are out of form/ past it, playing them out of position, the list goes on. I don't have answers but you would like to think people in charge would but on showing so far it appears not, we can only hope they have plans in place we are all missing, was through in Idrox direction yesterday not sure we will be back in by project time board stated, does this mean we will have to play all European games at Hampden, which will mean more income lost due to all there incompetence.
1.) 15 Aug 2024 08:48:14
Re hampden I think if we play first group game there that's it for the season can't switch back .
2.) 15 Aug 2024 09:03:00
Times have changed and so has football.
The fight you speak of, especially in the Scottish game was being physical and playing hard.
This way has been stamped out of football. Players getting booked and sent off for very little contact etc etc.
It is almost a non contact sport at this point.
Also i'm not sure their will be many European games needed to play this season lol.
3.) 15 Aug 2024 09:22:45
Are the board accepting 2nd best, are we that skint? what's the reason for extending PC contract. As John said, worrying times ahead.
4.) 15 Aug 2024 18:09:20
Baxter told this afternoon pc took a pay cut 20% for an extra year. Can anyone help re this.
5.) 15 Aug 2024 18:55:36
I have been following Rangers since the 60s and it’s difficult to admit that Celtic are a far better run club than us.
These days they have -
• A better board
• Better players
• A huge war chest
• A better player model. They recognised the potential of the Far East market. Huge transfer fees for numerous players that they got for a pittance.
I will continue to follow the Teddy Bears in the hope that we change our ways. Unfortunately I can’t see a change in the near future. You would think that the board would be desperate to keep the fans onboard e. g. a signing that would make the press, SPL and more important the DEPRESSED fans base stand up and take notice of our “great club”.
16 Sep 2024 09:42:25
King fighting for club has cost us a fortune,
11 Sep 2024 06:59:40
If we keep Tav and play him, we are still one man down.
30 Aug 2024 21:53:54
PC will not play Hagi he and his advisor have basically called him a liar, Hagi wanted away but no one would match wages we pay him.
30 Aug 2024 10:03:12
Shankland now meets criteria of our signing policy, over priced and injured.
26 Aug 2024 23:59:59
Why would we pay of Cantwell to go, maybe take low offer but he requested move so why would he be entitled to pay off.
07 Oct 2024 12:05:06
We have clean sheets until we come up against a decent team.
03 Oct 2024 22:05:30
Surely Tav cerny don't start next game, Barron not much better, PC not answer, reminds you of Leguen . does not get fact second is not an option, we are not even competing, that's the least we expect.
03 Oct 2024 15:02:42
Need change, but most of clubs will not vot for it as TV deal dependant 4 rang V celt games,
02 Oct 2024 20:04:43
I think a lot on here have short memories regarding Hagi, very average player, Time for him to show that he has it, time to stop all the nonsense he has been saying, he now has chance to make himself a first pick at same time put himself in shop window so he gets move he wants, either way he will be of by January. Club just trying to create interest.
13 Sep 2024 01:19:25
Majority on here want what is best for club and at this moment, Tav should be dropped due to his current form, any other players, playing so poorly would not expect to be picked if they had best interests of team at heart, but does PC have the bottle and best interests of team to do this or is he to stubborn.
