What's the deal with Andy firth? I thought he was brought in short term the second half of season, has he signed permanent contract now?
1.) 29 Jun 2019 04:52:29
Firth signed 18 month deal when he joined don't know you got your info from but mine is from Rangers Official website.
2.) 29 Jun 2019 11:43:37
Just in my mind he was stop gap as Alnwick was on loan. Strange one that we still have 4 senior keepers.
3.) 29 Jun 2019 13:06:10
It’s also strange that he has a 12 year olds head on a mans body.
4.) 29 Jun 2019 13:33:58
Blue 89 .
5.) 29 Jun 2019 19:26:28
I see two goalkeepers moving on permanently, Mcgregor, fods, Alnwick and firth all have twelve months left on deal.
Would like to see Mcgregor extended plus think mccrorie Robby will go on l.
6.) 30 Jun 2019 14:28:44
Shagger obv No1 has 12 Months left but no need to extend contract, he will no doubt be happy to sign 12 Month deal each season until he decides to retire.
Either Fod or Alnwick will move on in this window. Fod is Gerrards 2nd choice despite it initially being Alnwick, club more likely to get a fee for Fod though it probably depends on if he wants to get 1st team football or stay and battle it out with McGregor.
I think Firth will he kept as a no 3 as he is on low wages just to ensure we have a back up if Mcgregor gets injured. McCrorie is highly rated as a future replacement for AM but at this stage looks likely to be loaned out again.
7.) 30 Jun 2019 21:33:59
John25 I see us having 2 new keepers fighting for no1 Jersey after next season and all 4 current keepers going 2 just now fod and alnwick probably then Firth and McGregor at end of season/ contract.
8.) 01 Jul 2019 07:37:04
Could be right bellshill, I think Mcgregor on last years form deserves another twelve months.

I'll just bring something up which should be fairly obvious to most, when judging players ability/ potential and judging new signings etc it's very hard to show anything playing in a poor team. Until we are playing decent football and playing with confidence then it's hard for players to show their worth. Time for Clement and coaching staff to make it happen, hard work on the training ground will hopefully pay off.
1.) 04 Sep 2024 22:25:24
agree J-zer. I think the work on training ground seems to be getting done. we have been improving this year whilst bedding in new players and those who didn't play regularly last year. However once they scored the first goal we lost confidence so we need to get on a run of games where we win and that confidence will come.
2.) 05 Sep 2024 01:28:17
The coaching is the key to getting better because we don’t have 50 million to buy quality. Gerrard and his team coached it into players, might have taken 3 years but you could see it developing. The worry I have with Clement is I don’t see it. Since last season through pres season and this season we have no structure and teams can see our weaknesses. Even in the games we’ve won this year teams have cut right through us (Ross County and St Johnstone both had great chances) . My only hope is that there are enough players to come in (Cortes, Yilmaz, Raskin, Nana, Bajrami, Igamane) that they will make a difference and the team start to gel. Clement said they will by Oct/ Nov so he’s put a timeline on it.
3.) 05 Sep 2024 06:44:44
Quality players should stand out regardless, sounds like another excuse if I'm honest. I have not seen any improvement since last year, infact we are worse. We have not won any of the big games so far this season. We are sitting 4th and 5 points behind already, improvement?
4.) 05 Sep 2024 07:03:51
Agree not saw much improvement.
And the poster mentioned work on the training ground being done, I don’t believe the system suits the players at our disposal, set pieces are as poor as I can remember, we don’t look a threat at corners like we used to, in fact on Sunday when we had a corner me and my brother picked up the lack of movement in the box to create space from a corner.
Lacking a bit of Steele in there, we are a bit to nice and easy to play against.
5.) 05 Sep 2024 07:10:58
Surely our players are quality when compared to the rest of the SPL? If not what are we doing here?
6.) 05 Sep 2024 08:17:11
We are a shambles all over the pitch, I've not felt so despondent with a Rangers team for along while, I'm not convinced they try anything other than a 4,2,3,1 formation at training either.
7.) 05 Sep 2024 08:23:23
we don't have the same sort of quality as we did in the late 80s and 90s so we are buying younger who have the potential to develop into those quality players. this needs time both on the coaching pitch as well as patience from the fans. I think the RC game was the best I've seen us play in years; and before you see the negative and say it was only RC Aberdeen in 2nd only beat them int he 8th minute of injury time. So there has been some improvement but there will be more to come. They probably have more quality than rest of SPL except for Celtic at the moment. We have a younger squad who will develop.
all teams get chances in a game but like us on Sunday they don't always score them., we had 3 or 4 great chances but got beaten 3-0. do you think Celtic fans are complaining about those chances we got.
we are 4 games into the season and there are 34 to go so there is time. what is it about people these days that they want instant success without the hard work.
8.) 05 Sep 2024 08:34:05
Rayger - have to agree clement has been there a year next month and I understand turnover in players was a big priority but everybody should still be able to see what his ideas are and what the manager is trying to implement but nobody does a part from punt to dessers and pray it sticks. It’s very worrying that we are so open defensively also can say some players aren’t good enough but there better that 95% of the spl still but main issue is I don’t think they know what clement is wanting to do in terms of passages of play and defensive structure.
9.) 05 Sep 2024 08:41:46
i am suprised noone can see his ideas, whilst i agree the players aren't playing it well when it works its effective. its when we lose the ball and tracking back we aren't doing well which must improve.
10.) 05 Sep 2024 09:22:00
It is only Ross County! We couldn't beat Hearts, Kiev or Celtic and you think playing well against Ross County is an improvement. C'mon let's get real!
11.) 05 Sep 2024 09:37:29
I'm not buying this "better players" around him rubbish. That, I'm afraid, is just the flimsiest of flimsiest excuse, and is embarrassing. Class, no matter who else is in the team, stands out, period.
12.) 05 Sep 2024 11:18:16
Playing against the rest of the SPl our formation and style of play will work well as when we lose the ball they are not good enough to break with numbers and pick us off, Europe and Celtic games we should have another plan as we are not competent enough to leave our defence exposed if they play through us or win the ball off us.
13 Mar 2024 17:40:41
Anyone know when the quarter finals are played, if we get through need to book time off work trying to plan ahead.
1.) 13 Mar 2024 18:37:05
UEFA website. Has to be more reliable than asking someone on here.
2.) 13 Mar 2024 19:58:29
11th and 18th of april but I may well be wrong ?.
3.) 13 Mar 2024 21:30:57
Quarter-final first legs: 11 April
Quarter-final second legs: 18 April
Semi-final first legs: 2 May
Semi-final second legs: 9 May
Final: 22 May.
4.) 13 Mar 2024 22:24:45
Cheers guys. Didn't see it on website could be on it now right enough.
5.) 14 Mar 2024 12:36:25
Been on uefa website since start of season, an excellent website for accurate info,
08 Mar 2024 08:28:14
Here's my thoughts on the penalty we conceded last night, if the ball doesn't hit Souttar's hand it goes out of play so how can the opposition then be given the chance to score a goal from the penalty spot when they were not denied a goal scoring opportunity!?
I've seen loads of examples lost count of the amount of times a forward player is fouled and a penalty is awarded when it's clear the ball is either running out or the keeper is out and collected it but if the forward is fouled in the phase of play a penalty is awarded even if a blind man can see there is never a chance the player will make it to the ball.
Think the rule makers need to sit down over the summer and sort out a simple game that's becoming so over complicated by the 'letter of the law'.
1.) 08 Mar 2024 08:54:45
Was never a penalty. His arm was out but he headed it onto his hand. The rule needs changed massively we’ve totally scrapped the idea of ball to hand. Would love to see the stats of handball penalties before and after VAR.
2.) 08 Mar 2024 08:59:45
J-ser, we've had multiple pens when the ball is not going towards the goal line.
3.) 08 Mar 2024 09:40:19
Some of these penalty decisions are ridiculous.
4.) 08 Mar 2024 09:44:16
Didn't say anything about wether we had or had not Amato my point is how can any team us included be given a spot kick when they weren't going to score from or even have a chance at scoring from the situation. The ball wasn't going to a benfica player. As you say we have gained advantages in the past and tbh if same thing happens in the benfica box I'm wanting a penalty only because that's what is given nowadays but it's wrong.
5.) 08 Mar 2024 13:47:30
Last night's penalty is the type that annoys me if I am honest.
People talk about the rule but its pretty clear if you head onto your hand it's no penalty.
To be fair the ref last night was top notch. Would take him in the league every week.
I think VAR effed him over by not showing the replay through the goal which was only one which clearly showed that it was head onto hand.
07 Oct 2023 09:38:37
Team for tomorrow
Butland
Tav
Souttar
Balogun
Barasic
Raskin
Cufientes
Mcausland
Wright
Sima
Roofe
442
Could easily have dropped Tav barasic wright but don't see an alternative to Wright as lammers dessers have had far more football and done nothing. Tav stays as dropping him causes another circus we don't need and let's face it he should be stepping up as leader. Barasic stays as he's best fitted to provide for front two aswell as ridvan being brutal.
1.) 07 Oct 2023 10:28:19
Wright is banned? No? If he is thank god.
2.) 07 Oct 2023 10:37:03
Tav and Barisic should not play. Devine and Sterling in.
3.) 07 Oct 2023 10:45:33
Aye he will be right enough. Play with ten then can't stomach watching lammers or dessers again this week ?.
4.) 07 Oct 2023 10:52:59
Someone needs to have the balls to drop the poor performing players in that squad.
5.) 07 Oct 2023 11:09:00
Wright suspended.
6.) 07 Oct 2023 11:41:40
I am glad wright is suspended but I don’t understand why any fan would think he would start I would rather play with 10 men.
7.) 07 Oct 2023 11:44:21
The full squad is underperforming.
8.) 07 Oct 2023 11:58:46
Wright is a decent player and to say better off with 10 is embarrassing ?.
9.) 07 Oct 2023 12:19:50
Ha here we go . The old embarrassing argument again … and it’s directed at storm this time brilliance. I love this site.
10.) 07 Oct 2023 12:25:16
Wright got sent off last week and we hardly noticed the difference . McCausland looked better in the 10 minutes he was on than Wright did at anytime in the game . He`s hopeless, the problem is when he, Lammers and Dessers all start its like playing with 8 men anyway. Three guys destined for our Worst Players Ever, Hall Of Infamy.
11.) 07 Oct 2023 12:30:36
The problem with dropping all these guys is when do you bring them back in? Is it when we get another defeat or when we’re on a winning streak? It’s old firm mentality that fans want sweeping changes but dropping the whole back four isn’t going to happen. No manager would do that. Confidence is low and needs to be built up again. Throwing a pile of inexperienced or young guys in is a gamble and if it doesn’t pay off then the league really is well and truly over.
12.) 07 Oct 2023 12:32:32
I’m assuming it was a tongue in cheek comment seeker, or rather i’d HOPE it was tongue in cheek.
13.) 07 Oct 2023 13:06:17
Aye just a bit Alloa ?.
14.) 07 Oct 2023 13:06:46
That's me embarrassed again ?.
15.) 07 Oct 2023 14:12:14
Won’t be the last time seeker ?.
16.) 07 Oct 2023 14:22:10
That’s embarrassing ?.
05 Oct 2023 16:51:40
That's the 11 I would have looked at, keep roofe and use if required was my thoughts. Two midfielders with four attacker's let's hope we play higher, give them nothing press them and play with tempo.
1.) 05 Oct 2023 17:30:56
With what he has available, I'm hoping for the same as you!
06 Sep 2024 09:09:17
All players have private life's etc doesn't justify acting like a twit. Time to forget cantwell and move on.
03 Sep 2024 10:25:53
Trouble is why would anyone want to come join this toxicity that's been created especially someone like Armstrong who's already the barrier of being an ex Celtic player. Regardless of that we need to bolster the squad as we are nowhere near ready to make a fist of it.
02 Sep 2024 21:48:11
Better than what we have.
01 Sep 2024 22:45:46
Fleck Armstrong two most talked about.
30 Aug 2024 18:27:26
In a word yes if that's a concrete offer they will take it.
13 Sep 2024 09:38:42
Id have balogun in team more often than not. Can't play every week but he's still out most consistent central defender.
06 Sep 2024 07:47:27
Yes but what a position to be in a club of our stature going into European competition against top sides with 1 senior striker.
04 Sep 2024 20:50:11
Not the midfield I wanted I'd never have sterling in midfield as he's a full back simple. we're spending good money on wages to midfield players to play in midfield.
04 Sep 2024 20:47:57
Tbh ait does seem a lot when finds are tight but at 8 million between them with both player at a good age and on a relatively low wage I'd imagine then you'd have to think that's decent business if they prove to be rangers class if they don't then it's obviously money down the pan but that's the chance you take.
03 Sep 2024 10:34:40
It's maybe easier said than done but PC has he's full coaching team around him now so it's high time they got on the training pitch and worked with what they have got I'm not saying board doesn't need addressing or that we don't need to invest in a better quality player but we certainly have more talent at the club than what we're seeing on match days.
