Angus regarding the source for the martin/ Wilson thread from. yesterday I have a daughter who works in corporate law and she had dealings with a football agent. As I said whether that remains the case with Wilson away I don't know but I have no doubts on the rumour I posted.
1.) 16 Apr 2025 22:15:55
Cheers OWS I know they are rumours and happy for those to be put on to stimulate discussion and I am never calling anyone out when I ask about where it came from. on the other side I am always interested in the rough source as it can tell me a bit about the likelihood of it being the case.
I did remember a while back someone on here said that Russell Martin's name had been mentioned endlessly at Ibrox and I (mis) remembered it being a Walter who had said it. doesn't really matter just me being the pain I can be on things like this. Appreciate the clarification as I am sure you wills ee the difference between your source and a bunch of fans talking.

Keith Jackson says takeover could be completed by end of April and some directors are getting frustrated by the time the Americans are taking also rumours of the deal having stalled are not what he's hearing.
1.) 07 Apr 2025 20:41:47
What i will say OWS, there's nothing certain either way and until it's confirmed either way, nothing is set in stone or completed yet?I just hope and pray it goes through and doesn't go the other way, because we definitely need this takeover to happen for our club, absolutely no doubt about that ?.
2.) 07 Apr 2025 20:47:33
No frustration from anyone involved my friend.
All understand business takes time.
3.) 07 Apr 2025 21:09:48
I can't wait til the takeover is complete so one of our regular posters can maybe say a wee bit more than what he's aloud to atm
If people read between lines they will see that everything is going great and it's just a matter of time.
We're being told this from an informed source and people still are doubting it:
Appreciated by me anyway.
4.) 07 Apr 2025 21:13:26
Keith Jackson how would he know what's going on with the Americans.
5.) 07 Apr 2025 21:22:44
I can't see this takeover not happening.
I don't want to think what would happen if it doesn't.
6.) 07 Apr 2025 21:30:12
The same Keith Jackson that broke the news of the takeover first.
7.) 07 Apr 2025 22:01:07
East Belfast Keith Jackson broke the news to begin with mate.
8.) 07 Apr 2025 22:22:56
Yes ows because he was given the information, he won't have a clue about anything now.
9.) 07 Apr 2025 22:32:27
Everyone I've talked to seems to understand its complicated an won't happen over night.
Also don't think splash cash is realistic either but hopefully they make better choices.
10.) 08 Apr 2025 01:35:15
As long as the deal gets done that's all that matters.
I don't these people coming in and spending 30/ 40m right away they will probably want to build up the income of the club first keep us within FFP rules.
11.) 08 Apr 2025 07:42:25
Keith Jackson is trusted by the club and is probably filling space until he can break bigger news.
12.) 08 Apr 2025 07:55:43
Mystar maybe the people who gave him info about takeover are giving info now anyway I thought I'd post what I read.
13.) 08 Apr 2025 08:34:41
Doesn't Dave King feed Keith Jackass info?
14.) 08 Apr 2025 08:36:30
Jackson was fed the story! Jackson is seen as a safe vehicle for putting out scoops to a wider audience, and was ofter used in the past to get "exclusives" out. That's why he "broke" the story! Does anyone actually think he broke it through any form of journalistic investigation?
15.) 08 Apr 2025 09:24:20
I would doubt anyone getting frustrated as they are complex matters and it takes time.
16.) 08 Apr 2025 10:02:56
My guess would be Dave King phoned him SS and i'm happy that i don't read anything written by him or his co-workers and i feel sorry for all nut cases in our support who do.
17.) 08 Apr 2025 12:05:16
If the club trust him how many times has he broken story's about players signing before he came none.
18.) 08 Apr 2025 12:27:52
If the club don't want to break the news then why would they tell Jackson. they will share what they want, and not share what they don't want known.
19.) 08 Apr 2025 13:36:34
Geesadothat - that's not really how it works.
20.) 08 Apr 2025 13:51:22
King broke the news to Jackson, the club were livid.
21.) 08 Apr 2025 14:20:27
Did King leak the story?
Gary Ralston was King's go to when he needed a story out there, but I believe Gary is no longer involved in MSM, so this makes sense.
27 Mar 2025 14:52:28
Read today Marco rose mentioned with the managers job. Don't kn9w if he's a serious name or not.
1.) 27 Mar 2025 15:49:30
One of the names doing the rounds. No One knows who the new manager will be. Looking forward to getting all sorted.
2.) 27 Mar 2025 18:10:46
I ain't taking any notice of names as the DOF will be decided 1st IMO so until that happens names are all bs.
3.) 27 Mar 2025 18:55:33
Don't get me wrong marco rose would be a terrific appointment as our next permanent manager, if he were to get the job ???We all have our choices and it's all speculation until like storm says ie. it will be decided who is our next permanent Rangers manager, once our sporting director is appointed and everything else just now is guess work ?.
4.) 27 Mar 2025 19:06:45
Yes all guess work sws but you must be into your second hundred by now??.
5.) 27 Mar 2025 20:09:20
My star i'm mentioning names mentioned and what i think of them mate that's all ?I've never wavered from my own preferred choice try and bare that in mind mate ?.
6.) 27 Mar 2025 20:15:20
You tell him coops???.
7.) 27 Mar 2025 20:40:48
Sws only having a laugh ?.
8.) 27 Mar 2025 21:52:02
Yes but who is that personal choice you haven't wavered from. must admit I am lost in the wave of names. was it BF, can't remember if you had the £40 bet or was it OWS.
9.) 27 Mar 2025 21:52:57
Fair enough My star ???.
10.) 27 Mar 2025 23:58:54
Muscat i think Angus think he just bet Ferguson.
11.) 28 Mar 2025 02:57:23
Good news. It not Mick Beale. ? Sitting In the row behind me in economy class on his way to Dubai? No so keen on spending his own money ??.
12.) 28 Mar 2025 08:45:49
Nut him Pieter???.
22 Mar 2025 19:07:32
Reading marseille are prioritising igaman this summer but for 8m! Double it and maybe but we need to get more clever at selling players.
1.) 22 Mar 2025 19:21:43
8m is laughable no way would we even entertain that for that lad. I agree double that before add ons and we might talk. Raskin imo is the one we should look to get at least 20m for. Of the current squad i do a see a few valuable assets the one i don't understand people saying is worth a lot is jefte.
2.) 22 Mar 2025 19:49:11
Muscat not a big fee Jefte now but he's got many positives in his game right now but he's got plenty of areas to improve on but could go for a good fee in a year or two mate.
Can't see 20m for Raskin either 12/ 15 max, Diomande will go for a good fee as well.
3.) 22 Mar 2025 20:16:23
I reckon I could get a golden buzzer on BGT with that statment.
4.) 22 Mar 2025 20:54:31
Yip, mentioned the other week about Marseille - it's very real.
5.) 22 Mar 2025 20:59:17
Raskin (20 million he's the core of our team)
Igamane (15-18million) He's a gem
Diomande ( 10-12million)
Jefte (7-10 another with lots of potential)
6.) 22 Mar 2025 21:08:29
Hes fast and can beat a man now and then? that's all I've seen in jefte. Yilmaz is still well clear imo.
7.) 22 Mar 2025 21:13:35
See tbh, if raskin is performing as he has been come the last game of season then he is worth £20m for us without doubt.
He looks a far better player than Engels who they'd want £20m for tomorrow
Igamane has faded a wee bit last 10 games but that goal brought his profile back up.
For me both are £20m players, diomande £15m maybe £20m
We need to demand top dollar from now on. We are now debt free so can't be held to ransom.
8.) 22 Mar 2025 23:03:57
Id be looking for scottish yransfer record with igamane.
9.) 23 Mar 2025 06:13:42
His head def got turned in Jan as his form dipped since all the hype about a move to the EPL. He just needs to look across the city to see how things have worked out for their "irreplaceable wonder striker". The grass isn't always greener. It would be better for his development to play for another season and prove that his 1st season in big boy footy isn't a one off.
10.) 23 Mar 2025 07:22:37
Gersgirl we sell when a bid meets a valuation. Held out for too much for morelos and got diddly squat.
11.) 23 Mar 2025 08:08:01
Every player has a price and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see bids come in for raskin and igname in the summer.
Hopefully with the takeover the days of us selling for buttons is finished.
We need to be selling players while their stock is high we can't be doing another morelos kent type situation again.
I do think there is potential though for getting bassey type money for raskin and igname.
Diomande and jefte will go for decent money also.
12.) 23 Mar 2025 08:08:46
Although I like Jefte in flashes - neither him nor Ridvan are showing consistently what we need in LB position imho - both only show in rare moments and to be brutally honest we need two new fullbacks for next season as this hopefully is Tavs swansong ?.
13.) 23 Mar 2025 09:15:08
Blue Yilmaz problem is Injuries mate he goes Injury free he is a very good lb, Jefte back up for me.
I'd be keeping Diomande and Igamane for another season thier fees are only going one way, good offer for Raskin and think he'll be away.
Butland
Tavernier
Hagi
Cifuentes
Dowell
Davies
Matondo
Think they will leave, hopefully they do for wages alone.
14.) 23 Mar 2025 09:30:28
Missed out Danilo, good footballer but fitness and wage.
15.) 23 Mar 2025 10:06:06
Raskin is our best player 100% worth 20m need to get him on a new deal asap and make him the next captain.
16.) 23 Mar 2025 10:20:57
Igname and raskin will definitely make the club money, as for jefte, I just can't see it,
17.) 23 Mar 2025 11:15:09
Diomonde 10-12 million?! ???
And if that wasn't bad enough, you have Jefte at 7-10 million?! No! Nope! Never! Not even close! C'mon?!
Serious question here. Do you actually believe what you posted?
18.) 23 Mar 2025 11:19:44
Some of these figures are pure fantasy! 15m "maybe 20m" for Diomonde is pure pie in the sky!
Please stop! ???.
19.) 23 Mar 2025 11:23:58
Sunshine obviously you can't see Diomande talent mate but he only leaves for double figures.
20.) 23 Mar 2025 11:29:32
C'mon guys these valuations are wild.
Realistically I think there valuations are as follows…
Jefte………3-5 million
Diomande……5-7 million
Raskin………8-12 million
Igamane….12-15 million
I genuinely believe holding out for more than my above valuations will be a mistake the same as the Morelos n Kent situation!
Just my opinion.
21.) 23 Mar 2025 11:41:07
Crazy idea but how about we keep our best young players and try and WIN something?
Winning regularly is far more appealing to prospective signings than shunting players on at earliest opportunity.
Who is going to replace Hamza, Dio or Raskin? This isn't Football Manager. we need an established core to build upon, not a revolving door.
22.) 23 Mar 2025 12:17:55
Would that be the same way I couldn't see Sands, Beale, Cifuentes, Cantwell, Lammers, Dowell, or Clement's talent, My star?! Do you see where I'm going with this? ???.
23.) 23 Mar 2025 12:27:32
Sorry but are people mental
I could maybe agree if players get to two years on deal and not want an extension sure sell them at those prices
But Celtic just sold a 30 year old injury prone kyogo for 10million
We need to stop underselling or at least put in a huge sell on fee percentage.
24.) 23 Mar 2025 12:29:00
Dio is worth 10 million all day long boy is class and would run riot in likes off Spain.
25.) 23 Mar 2025 12:30:09
We never once held out for more money for Kent and Morelos pure myth sg didn't want to sell them end story.
26.) 23 Mar 2025 12:43:42
"Run riot" in Spain, but was in his backside against Queens Park?! ??
"Mental"?! Nope, just realistic living in the real world. ?.
27.) 23 Mar 2025 12:44:38
Sunshine lol man, you really can't spot talent that's fine.
28.) 23 Mar 2025 12:46:58
Because thier talent never showed in a Rangers jersey does that take the talent away sunshine aye? Pissing myself at that man.
29.) 23 Mar 2025 12:51:00
Think around 12m would be fair. If takeover happens we don't need to sell. Keep him for another season and his value will go up again.
30.) 23 Mar 2025 13:06:36
Why would anyone want Butland and Tavernier to leave " for wages alone" . We need to keep some top class experienced players and although Butland has had a few mistakes this season, he showed in Turkey and in the OF game what a good goalkeeper he is . If we get offers we can't refuse then fair enough but if not we need these guys to stay.
Can't see Jefte being worth big money yet but he is still young but if, as some seem to think, Yilmaz is better than him then he must be worth a fortune too . Diomande had been very in and out for us and I don't see any club wanting to buy him for big money unless he finds consistency.
31.) 23 Mar 2025 13:16:03
Oh dear! ?.
32.) 23 Mar 2025 13:33:10
Nae wonder you're oh dearing man?.
33.) 23 Mar 2025 13:44:59
This the last chance we get to get some cash in for Dessers as well, his performances in Europe should see us get close to the outlay back, our three strikers could all be away if the price is right.
34.) 23 Mar 2025 13:57:14
Every player you have mentioned has impressed since moving on sunshine.
35.) 23 Mar 2025 13:59:53
We aren't under selling our stars as we haven't got the strategic correct Celtic have and players are playing in champs league also. Some fans are just clueless.
36.) 23 Mar 2025 14:32:26
My star, i agree with you about diomande to a degree but like many of a Rangers player for us he's to inconsistent. And you can't say to someone that they can't see talent just remember mate you said Cifuentes is a baller and clement is a brilliant manager who has made progress.
37.) 23 Mar 2025 15:02:51
Cifuentes can play though King, should have been a good Rangers player.
38.) 23 Mar 2025 15:46:07
Im thinking sunshine supporter is a Celtic fan.
I challenge anyone to watch igamane 14 goals and all different types of goals 9 with right foot 4 with left one with head goals all varied in style but all rather cool finishes then come back and say he's not worth 20million
Examples
Orielly 29million
Jota 29million
Tierny 27million
Bassey 23million
Dembelle 22 million
Ajer 15million
Wanyama 14 million
Patterson 14million
Hutton 13million
Are people seriously trying to put igamane 10million and under jeeze even Celtic patyed 10million for engles someone who only looks good for hitting penalties.
39.) 23 Mar 2025 16:42:24
Sunshine u undervalue players all the time. Something I've noticed before.
Why should we not be asking top dollar for our players. See if we don't get that top line at least we'll get something higher than your valuation:
Worst thing that happens is we keep said players an extra season and get the figure they're worth then.
40.) 23 Mar 2025 17:22:27
??????.
41.) 23 Mar 2025 17:52:33
Accusations are a growing SS?, no smoke without fire and all that?? seriously one of them, funniest thing on here in a while.
42.) 23 Mar 2025 17:54:22
What's big cyriel worth then? Scores right foot left foot n headers, oh and more than igamane???.
43.) 23 Mar 2025 18:02:56
Sunshine certainly not one of them.
44.) 23 Mar 2025 18:04:17
Forever correct, they got 10m for 30 year kyogo and some want less for a cf just learing the game with massive potential.
45.) 23 Mar 2025 18:36:06
Nothing even remotely funny about that mate.
What's your valuation of these players. Give us what u think we can realistically get for our top players this summer?
46.) 23 Mar 2025 19:22:39
Not aimed at you Stevie, but the ludicrous post accusing me of being a tim!
Look, Diomonde is growing on me, but he frustrates out of me, the way he stands out in games against them, and in Europe, but then is absolutely woeful against the rest. Until he stops being so inconsistent, we are getting nowhere near double figures.
As for Jefte, I'll just leave it there.
Right now, we have 2 players we could definitely get double figures for and one who deserves to be valued higher. The 2 players are Igamane and Raskin. Can you guess who I believe should be valued higher?
47.) 23 Mar 2025 19:25:50
I'll tell ye who is under valued for n this country and be this support is big dessers.
48.) 23 Mar 2025 19:26:16
Fork this is starting to get interesting, how many times is this now he has been accused of being one of them. Hmm???.
49.) 23 Mar 2025 19:26:29
My cover is blown Fork! Undercover Agent 0069 (licensed to thrill ??), has been rumbled and the game is up.
50.) 23 Mar 2025 19:36:13
Clubs will only pay what they value the player at, we can guess but will more than likely get it wrong.
51.) 23 Mar 2025 19:53:51
Aye SS = Seltic Spy????.
52.) 23 Mar 2025 19:50:06
Celtic are better than Rangers better players so get more money for them.
53.) 23 Mar 2025 19:56:03
Can't be very thrilling mate, you had a menage a trois with Subo n Sturgeon while singing the "Monster Mash" ???.
54.) 23 Mar 2025 20:15:15
With the names mentioned in his dream threesome I'm sure there were a few songs sang about the team they support.
55.) 23 Mar 2025 20:20:42
Thrilling for them, though! I aim to please. ?.
56.) 23 Mar 2025 20:31:44
Igamane will go for around 8m but I expect stacks of adds and a big percentage sell on fee. I believe Dio will go for around for 8-10m and ther same as above. Raskin for around 15-17m. You don't have to agree but that's what I think.
57.) 23 Mar 2025 21:06:38
There is no way we will accept 8m for igamane. he was signed for 2m and although its profit its hardly earth shattering for someone with his potential. If we are serious about player trading we need to get maximum value. 8m is bare min.
58.) 23 Mar 2025 21:25:11
Fair play mate.
Btw I agree in a lot of what u say about dio.
I think the reason we get £15m for him is his potential and his ability more than his domestic performances, I agree he's been missing a lot, his concentration can be poor at times.
I actually agreed with ? of what u are saying just a few months ago. He's changed that opinion though.
Who do I think should be valued higher?
Dessers or souttar?
59.) 23 Mar 2025 21:46:10
Dessers, mate! The guy has his faults, but he's a goalscorer, and goals win the games.
I like big Souttar, but he's never making us double figures.
Let's be honest here, but If you look at our players over the years, who have made us double figures, there's only 2 of them (Bassey and Patterson) . Not good at all!
60.) 24 Mar 2025 00:16:06
Dessers is not a 23 year old with room to develope just starting out hi sinternational career too
Teams pay for potential
Can any of you honestly say patterson is or was better value than igamane is now.
61.) 24 Mar 2025 11:44:19
Sorry sunshine knee jerk reaction just don't get the negativity around our players it only drives the price down
You can honestly say we have not undersold players compared to smelltic though.
62.) 24 Mar 2025 11:47:26
I tend to agree likes dessers jefte yilmaz won't go for big feea as too many flaws in thier game or injuries in yilmaz case
But diomande igamane we should be looking at great fees also now with raskin playing for belgium his price kust shot up especially if he holds down a place in the team over next few internationals.
63.) 25 Mar 2025 12:10:25
Ok storm so buying cantwell for 1.5million with 6months on deal and not playing
To
Selling cantwell with more time on contract playing regular for 500k
How is that not underselling.
13 Mar 2025 11:11:36
DR write seville ready to bid 8.4m for Iga this summer but that they know they'll have to go higher because of his form.
1.) 13 Mar 2025 11:54:15
Hes got bags of potential, but think he's had 1 good month. Not scored in about 10 games now. But yes we certainly need to cash in on him. And not end up another Morelos situation.
2.) 13 Mar 2025 12:42:35
Too early to cash in for me Paul especially for that price another season at least I'd like to see of him maybe accept that sort of fee if they agree to a 40/50% sell on fee.
3.) 13 Mar 2025 12:44:44
I read somewhere on line that Igamane and Diomande are both wanted in the summer.
Rangers have apparently placed a £20 million price tag on Igamane.
Diomande is interesting clubs in both Italy and France.
Don't know how reliable the source is - potentially clickbait.
4.) 13 Mar 2025 12:51:29
DR always a dodgy source for anything, an appalling rag . Prob better info in the beano . However if Seville will really pay that then sell yep.
5.) 13 Mar 2025 12:59:00
Diomande is just starting to kick on for Rangers mph, unless it's 10m i wouldn't be selling him just yet, remember many said we'd lose money on him mate.
6.) 13 Mar 2025 13:42:17
Diomamde is a player. Not fully appreciated nor have we seen his best. Money in the bank.
Iganame is a real prospect but shown little lately. His price will go up but he needs to produce the goods. Think interest is affecting his game.
In their faces tonight!
7.) 13 Mar 2025 13:58:44
Although cooper it was the DR the broke the news regarding takeover before anybody else had a sniff.
8.) 13 Mar 2025 14:01:00
Could be an interesting time regarding Igamane - the £8m bid won't be accepted but an offer of £10m might be considered - The lad has some potential but was the good month as good as it gets? Do we cash in now or keep him, which in my mind could be a gamble.
Dio on the other hand, if we receive a bid in the region of £10m I would definitely sell.
9.) 13 Mar 2025 14:09:13
Got to bite someone's hand off at anything close to £15m.
He has potential and had a great spell, however right now not starting due to Dessers.
If we get big offers need to take them, been our issue in the past hanging on hoping for more that never comes.
10.) 13 Mar 2025 14:14:04
We are taking about players who couldn't beat Queens Park, St. Mirren or Motherwell at home. If we can sell both for around 15 million total, I would sell. I do feel Raskin will generate the biggest offer if we wish to sell.
11.) 13 Mar 2025 14:34:20
Dio needs to be in a midfield 3 to get the best out of him IMO.
12.) 13 Mar 2025 14:43:31
Igamanes form doesn't help that he's been 1, run into the ground 2, been played out of position to shoehorn dessers in.
13.) 13 Mar 2025 14:45:22
Windy but your talking about a man that made a spurs centre midfielder valued at 50m look very average.
14.) 13 Mar 2025 14:53:13
And it's obviously worked 22 goals tell u that, but let's play the guy who hasn't scored in 10 and drop the no 1 top scorer, I think I'm happier that dessers has been " shoehorned" in?.
15.) 13 Mar 2025 14:55:08
Igamane and Diomande for only 15m and we claim we sell players far to cheaply but they prices are worse than poor man.

Posted on another thread that there is real interest in Iga from Marseille - who as a club apparently have real appeal within the Moroccan community.
Dio has interest from two clubs in France.
Will be surprised if both are Rangers players next season.
17.) 13 Mar 2025 15:17:39
I know Igamane hasn't score much recently but he's been played off the left and in the 10 not his position! His Nutmegs are worth than 10m ?.
18.) 13 Mar 2025 15:40:19
Fork spot on mate.
19.) 13 Mar 2025 15:56:54
East, your view on shoe horning Dessers in for me is bewildering. Would you have dropped Dessers for Igamane on births current form?
We are turning into a low level selling club by a lot of the comments above. Everything is a quick fix. With the take over we now hopefully have the luxury of holding in to players and developing them and then selling them on at the proper value. This fan base need to learn patience.
20.) 13 mar 2025 15:57:32
i would improve both contracts and not sell for another season at least, we have a league ti win next year.
21.) 13 Mar 2025 16:51:09
Agreed Tom??.
22.) 13 Mar 2025 16:58:44
Hopefully with this new investment we can bring in a higher calibre of player. 2/ 3 quality defenders, along with a new keeper are essential.
The form in the league this season baffles me when you see the same players performances in Europe.
23.) 13 Mar 2025 17:39:34
Literally just told you why he hasn't been scoring. Dessers got 6 weeks out the team and he's full of energy again.
Igamane will be the same.
If igamane got half the chances dessers does he'd have double the goals.
24.) 13 Mar 2025 17:49:41
Tom that's exactly what we should do mate. Said this few months ago.
Storm your ? correct mate he needs to play on left of mf 3 imo. More defensive player behind him and another 8 on the right.
Igamane should be kept unless we get bid of £20m and diomande I'd say somewhere between 10-15m I'd also have sell ins included.
Lastly it looks like the £8.4maune adds upto €10m, need to remember that clubs in Europe will add it upto euros so we get daft point somethings. What we see as a £10m player they see as €10m just the way it is.
25.) 13 Mar 2025 18:14:05
My star aye and Queen's Park look like Barcelona. Dio is a skilled midfielder but should be playing in another league. If we can double our cash then that's a good investment. More seasons in Scotland will only hinder him. As for Igamane cost very little and another profit if we sell him for someone else to develop.
26.) 13 Mar 2025 18:40:18
Easy enclosure no one is shoe horn in dessers he is our top goalscorer and there on merit. Also igamane has played striker in that run and been poor. Ridiculous comment to make.
27.) 13 Mar 2025 18:40:35
"Shoehorn" ? and igamane will score double will he? U got a time travel machine then, his form dipped around speculation of a big move, dessers stepped up he didn't, dessers scores he doesn't, not rocket science who is no1,so let's just move our 22 goal striker to accommodate a player out of form. Ludicrous.
28.) 13 Mar 2025 18:42:24
That's utter nonsense east he wouldn't have double the goals what is wrong with people ?.
29.) 13 Mar 2025 18:47:49
Can't fathom it either absolutely bonkers???.
30.) 13 Mar 2025 19:28:50
£10 million for iga with another 2/ 3million in add ons and a 20% sell on would prob be decent business for us.
31.) 13 Mar 2025 23:32:38
Paul it was Morelos attitude that stopped us from getting a big fee for him I don't see that happening with Igamane. That being said if we get 12m plus i'd be thinking about cashing in.
32.) 13 Mar 2025 23:50:43
Think that he has gone off the boil at the moment, go back to basics and not fancy footwork.
33.) 14 Mar 2025 09:57:18
Windy, 15m for both Igamane and Diomande would be kinda crazy in my opinion mate.
34.) 14 Mar 2025 10:41:01
Why would we accept 10m when the club have said 20?
Honestly!
35.) 14 Mar 2025 11:50:19
Pieter - In a perfect world maybe. It might be a luxury now with the takeover that we don't necessarily have to sell but we also have to learn from past mistakes. We've been too patient with players in the past I would say and missed our chance to get serious cash in. Any offers over £10M for most of these guys have to be seriously considered.
36.) 14 Mar 2025 12:27:01
Coisty9 that s my thinking. Dio last night was not worth 15m and Igamane 20million come on. Sell put in add ons and percentage sell ons. But figures of around 30-35 million for these two players. Problem is this type of thought process has actually been running the club.
37.) 14 Mar 2025 13:02:41
Igamane looking like a £1.8m striker recently. He had a purple patch, really needs to kick on as has been poor lately.
38.) 14 Mar 2025 13:44:54
If big bids come in, 10m+ we take them and move on. ohh but wait possible 49 ers cash lol.
39.) 14 Mar 2025 15:43:27
Windy you're selling both for 15m that's mental.
40.) 14 Mar 2025 17:37:49
As people said in the past. Let's look to the future and start giving progressing. With that way of thinking we will never make serious money. Did we make mistakes in the past absolutely. Hopefully a lot more expertise coming in now.
Is there any harm holding off for another year?
I don't think so. I am happy to hold off for me we have sellable and potentially sellable for big cash. diamonde, Raskin, Barron, Igamane, Jefte eventually Ridvan. We should make money on all these players. How much is down to us and how we develop and play them.
41.) 15 Mar 2025 07:36:27
Diomande strength for me is turning and finding those through passes for thst you need counter attacking football i believe he would shine in premier league or bundesliga but in scotland he's facing opposition with forward players outnumbered and congested pitch no spaces to play into less movement stiffles his game.
Rangers are a team that sit on top of other teams we have over recent years been buying counter attacking style players when we should be looking at guys with decent scoring records
Just look at records of likes of lammers bajrami irs no wonder they don't score goals can't do it in more open leagues what makes people think they will do it here. We need to look at guys scoring in smaller european leagues and give them a chance to replicate that in spl.
42.) 15 Mar 2025 07:40:50
Huistra i agree but also think we should be getting a good fee for dessers if they can get 10million for injury prone 30year old kyogo then we should be looking at decent fee
Same gies for likes of davies people saying 2milion i'd say screw that at least 4million he's thier best defender and earned a move to liverpool in past just didn't work for him in scotland for various reasons, players down south have one good aeason and easily go 10million or more.

With only 5 games to go until this wretched season ends i'd like BF to play as many of the younger guys as poss. I wouldn't be against guys like Munn Fernandez Rice Curtis playing and we need to see Cortes in remaining fixtures also Iga must get the next games as no9 we won't learn anything playing dessers finally danilo has to get a run of games.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 13:59:24
Think Fernandes picked up an injury mate, agree should be game time for Curtis, Rice, Nsio, Nsiala ows, would like seeing Hutton as well, also agree Igamane should be leading the line in the remaining fixtures, hopefully Cortes shows us what he's all about, he could be a player for us next season.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 14:14:11
Pointless playing players that won't be here next season. Give the youth a run out.
Onewalter, Danilo is a player that needs to go this summer.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 14:29:02
Can't argue with that OWS - just need to make sure there are a few experienced head in with them to help support them.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 14:31:32
He will want to get as many points as possible to keep hit hat in the ring.
If he wins all remaining games I still think he will be in with a chance. Maybe only 20% but you never know.
The new owners might have a preferred option but they could easily knock us back. So he needs to keep winning.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 14:32:52
OWS could not agree more. However think he will continue to play the "old guard" if for no other reason than to keep them in the shop window, which unfortunately will stunt the groath of the the young players. We will however have to play some of the older players to help the young lads.
6.) 20 Apr 2025 14:35:40
I don't think Cortes will make it at Rangers, he's shown nothing in the handful of games that he has played that would hint at him being a player for us next season. I also want to see more of our younger players. It would give us an indication of who could make next seasons squad.
7.) 20 Apr 2025 14:58:33
Cortes was a highly rated young player.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 15:14:46
Agreed OWS.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 15:27:03
Lots of players were highly rated when they were young. Its how they develop that will determine how they progress in their careers. In the last year and a half Cortes has not progressed or shown signs of progressing. Sadly he appears to be another failed Koppen signing.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 15:27:14
I'd like to se Hutton and mccallion make their debuts and rice and Curtis get a few games in a row.
11.) 20 Apr 2025 15:44:58
I was impressed with Rice and Nsiala against Athletic Club. Maybe a run of games is all they need.
12.) 20 Apr 2025 15:45:52
Coldo EHL says he progress well now I'm listening to him before you, in fact I'm listening to most before you, he has showed a few flashes about what he can do, again he could be a player next season.
13.) 20 Apr 2025 15:55:58
Agree about playing young players we can't continue playing the failures We also can't go into next season with Tav, Dessers, Propper, Barjami, I've no idea if Cortes is a player he's never fit he's been here 2 years and is becoming the new Roofe.
14.) 20 Apr 2025 16:01:16
He needs to start playing Igamane as the central striker to help his development.
15.) 20 Apr 2025 16:06:19
Zikos he has absolutely no chance of getting the job full time.
16.) 20 Apr 2025 16:09:55
Cortes will be here next season unless there's some clause in his deal so we should at least play him to see exactly what he can contribute i have my doubts but he should get some game time.
17.) 20 Apr 2025 16:30:14
Cortes injury record is worrying BT and you're right, we can't afford to have players constantly injured. Again, I have serious doubts about Cortes and can't see any signs of how he could be an important player for us. Time will tell.
18.) 20 Apr 2025 16:46:47
Only problem with Cortes is that BF doesn't play with wingers - so of he goes 3-5-2 or even 3-4-3 like Aberdeen it'll be tough for him.
19.) 20 Apr 2025 16:47:16
My starting team for last 5 games:
Kelly - to see if can be no.1
Tav - due to lack of rb options
Souttar
Nsiala - to develop and has something
Jefte
Rice - needs a run of games
Raskin
Diomande
Cortes - dud or not?
Igamane - play as main forward
Danilo - in behind igamane or on the wing.
20.) 20 Apr 2025 16:50:08
I pray there's a get out with cortes but going on decisions of this board i doubt it ?.
21.) 20 Apr 2025 16:52:26
Storm, you really don't know that unless you're telling us you have inside info, which i doubt.
You know i agreed with you that didn't think he was right choice but i can see why they did it as a temp.
But we have no idea what the intent of the Americans are until they actually take over.
22.) 20 Apr 2025 17:07:05
We still need 3 points to clinch 2nd place remember.
23.) 20 Apr 2025 17:11:41
Storm who do you think will get the Rangers manager's job mate ? I have a very strong feeling that marco rose will possibly get the job and i definitely think russell martin is in the running although not my choice ?.
24.) 20 Apr 2025 17:39:10
Storm, I beg to differ.
I am in no way a BF fan boy and even I would consider him in a FT position.
Personally (again not a fan boy), I would have SG as my number 1 pick. He had won this league before and took the reins in a very similar position and regardless what others think did a fantastic job.
If you look at what the leadership dept did at Leeds when they took over, they basically picked the guy with the best championship experience. Think they will prob do similar here.
Afterwards BF is probably on a par with continental options. The main reason being his knowledge of this league and in European competition.
Obviously this could be way off the mark, but I actually think it would be quite sensible, and if NK ups his game then it could work.
25.) 20 Apr 2025 17:42:58
I wish there was a get out clause forever but I fear the french mob have us stitched up good and proper.
26.) 20 Apr 2025 18:00:09
You know who I want coops as you have asked me many times and I have told you but it looks unlikely it will be him. As long as it's not BF or SG
Forever BF will not be the manager for us next season that's just what I am saying I don't even know why it's an issue with you?
I do know BF but not spoke to him in a long time.
19 Apr 2025 19:59:18
Does the cost of a manager come under the financial rules in place? Even if we could afford a top rate manager would we be hampered if yhe cost to get him fall under ffp rules.
{Ed001's Note - yes, under UEFA's PSR regulations, all salaries at the club, from cleaning staff to coaching staff, are included. As are agent fees and transfer fees.}
1.) 19 Apr 2025 20:31:18
That is why i can't see us paying over 2m a season ows.
2.) 19 Apr 2025 20:55:04
My Star, i agree.
I also wouldn't mind a manager on a one year rolling contract. I suppose that might not appeal to too many managers.
3.) 19 Apr 2025 21:12:06
Cheers Ed and I agree with you star.
4.) 19 Apr 2025 21:40:35
In the last set of accounts we posted record turnover of £88m and the salary cost alone were £61m.
That's 69%, and to put it in to perspective as per UEFAs Cost Control rules, this year Salaries, Transfers and Fees combined need to be under 70%.
5.) 19 Apr 2025 22:06:29
Mark that is the problem though in that we aren't willing too give any manager some time to get it right. Guardiola didn't win in first season, neither did Ferguson or Klopp.
6.) 19 apr 2025 22:09:58
il bet that opened a few eyes ed

7.) 19 Apr 2025 22:37:10
Would taking some salaries off of our books and have these roles/ services provided by 49ers group, thinking things like analytics, scouting, sports science etc be a way of increasing our player budget? Is this possible within rules and something other clubs do?
8.) 19 Apr 2025 23:37:42
Good shout Huey. We could sub contract to a 3rd party who could be employed by 49ers
Need to be careful though.

Read today our club will be sanctioned again by UEFA for trouble between both sets of fans on Thursday.
1.) 19 Apr 2025 13:55:57
Not sure UEFA have any weight if the trouble is well away from the stadium?
And the only trouble I've seen online is the Bilbao fans going in mob handed on a couple of normal Rangers fans.
2.) 19 Apr 2025 14:23:28

East Belfast away and have a lie down, only person mentioned ub is you, i wonder why ?.
7.) 19 Apr 2025 15:42:03
No trouble in the stadium. Despite all the media build up, it was a very civilised environment. Fans weee all mingling on the way out and no hold back. We were in a bar outside the stadium 10 mins after the team had left the pitch. Saw the video of the three guys getting hit but saw nothing off any bother in the city and the police and stewards were all great in my experience. Apart from a muted chorus of HH, the songbook was all above board too. Be very surprised to see any kind of sanction and would have no idea what it would be for. Also, no pyro thankfully.
8.) 19 Apr 2025 16:31:20
Ibrox, did you think that was a pen on Dessers?
What was the feeling amongst the Spanish reg it?
9.) 19 Apr 2025 16:45:17
I can agree with Ibrox4me. I was in Athletic end right behind the goal for their penalty and never had a bit of bother. Also had a great view of the handball incident. Athletic fans around about thought it handball and penalty. Hopefully we made our concwrns known about this ref quietly and BEFORE the tie. I'm not going to cry corruption. Just bad. And I see no reason for any sanctions for Rangers after that game.
10.) 19 Apr 2025 17:07:08
Mark, a penalty and red card all day long. Haven't spoken to anyone who thinks differently. A few of the locals admitted they got lucky. I haven't seen the second one again, just thought we had a shout at the time. Not sure what the second question is?
11.) 19 Apr 2025 17:18:56
I was in the Rangers end, just that the ease of getting in and leaving the ground and lack of any tension in my experience was great. I did hear about some Bilbao fan groups scrapping with each other after the game, with one group setting a car alight, but everything I saw of our own fans was pretty decent.
12.) 19 Apr 2025 17:36:40
Same ibrox/ bear abroad thought it was a brilliant atmosphere between fans from the minute we go into the city. Spoke to a few locals all thought the dessers incident was a penalty, one saying he couldn't believe his shirt was nearly ripped off his back and no penalty, he just couldn't understand, anywhere else on pitch it's a free kick he said, my thoughts exactly.
13.) 19 Apr 2025 17:56:17
Ibrox, most of us on here thought it was a penalty as well.
My second question was what the Spanish thought about the Dessers penalty decision, but you answered it in your reply.
Apart from the result obviously, did you have a good time?
14.) 19 Apr 2025 17:56:21
It wasn't a red card tho ibrox.
15.) 19 Apr 2025 18:47:50
Had a great time thanks Mark. I'd never done the North of Spain before and absolutely loved it. Had a good bit of time to explore too and thought the food was some of the best I've had. Wine tremendous too and the company top notch. Met a lot of brilliant bears, one of the best things about away trips.
Storm, possibly not a red. Always subjective when interpreting a goal scoring opportunity but it was absolutely a penalty.
16.) 19 apr 2025 22:30:31
if he gave the pen he would have given a red, imo.
19 Apr 2025 13:02:59
Don't know about anyone else but it's galling on scottish cup semi weekend we are not there. Aberdeen into there 6th semi in 8 seasons. We really must get back to competing for silverware on a regular basis and hopefully from next season.
1.) 19 Apr 2025 13:11:37
Big turn out for Aberdeen today with their 12k fans. Horrible club.
2.) 19 Apr 2025 13:24:03
This is always the argument Paul. these teams never sell out semis then when get to final with either Rangers or Celtic they want 50/50.
3.) 19 Apr 2025 13:32:09
12k is better than none Paul.
Onewalter was thinking the same when I sat down to watch the game mate, it's just not acceptable.
4.) 19 Apr 2025 13:38:29

In every game that we lost was to the other mob.
Disappointing exit in the Scottish Cup this season but is that not competing for silver ware every season .

Let me rephrase then, not winning silver on a regular basis.
7.) 19 Apr 2025 14:46:07

No love for Aberdeen but not easy to get to hampden for an early kick off for Aberdeen fans.
10.) 19 Apr 2025 17:39:28
So OWS how many of those competitions did Aberdeen win when they reached a semi? we do compete but not winning many at the moment.
I think the finals should be set up initially that each club get a 50% allocation. However do it by section so when they don't sell the remainder goes to the other team. that shuts them up and means we or Celtic eventually get the bigger supply.
11.) 19 apr 2025 22:35:59
sorry can't agree
much as i despise them as a club,
but a final is a major thing fir a community and a city like aberdeen and surrounding area deserve as much chance to be there as anyone else
this is an entertainment business, what if you went to the pictures and they didn't let you in because you weren't here last week?
18 Apr 2025 21:04:40
Interesting point by r lads tonight. Basically 49s don't need 51& only a controlling stake and they have thst with king Bennett scott already agreed sale. Asa or any1 is that a fair point or are they wrong.
1.) 18 Apr 2025 21:52:32
51% for absolute control.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 22:14:07
Agree with Asa but it Is possible for them to have a control if they form liaisons with other shareholders to get things done if they don't hold 51%. did it with Leeds until they got that controlling share. Just chill though these things take time.
3.) 19 Apr 2025 06:46:17
From what I understand they have spent a lot of time speaking with shareholders with the purpose of identifying those willing to sell and negotiating the sale in writing.
This means they can execute a massive purchase in one go - which is the preference to buying them out bit by bit.
It's very similar to how they gained control over Leeds, which was complete in three phases.
4.) 19 Apr 2025 08:17:22
EHL, with what you know if you don't mind me asking mate, will this takeover announcement and all completed by the end of may ?.
5.) 19 Apr 2025 10:04:07
SWS, it honestly impossible to say as the club are keeping such a tight lid on things - which is a positive.
General consensus is that next week they will announce that the 49ers are the largest stakeholder, which will then trigger a number of other announcements.
After that, how or when they get to 51% and 100% is anyone's guess.
6.) 19 Apr 2025 13:11:40
Rangers, like most other clubs are adept at leaking good news. I have concerns about takeover as Rangers don't seem to be leaking any takeover news. Within a month, we should definitely know whether the takeover is on or not.
Onewaltersmith's rumour replies
19 Apr 2025 21:14:27
Super i'd doubt that as well also as I posted yesterday the 49s don't need 51% to be in charge only the mist shares as I read they have that already.
19 Apr 2025 19:57:29
Fingers crossed Deboer all info well recieved.
19 Apr 2025 17:44:59
If yiur the 49s and are looking for a manager surely logic is they'd at least sound out the last guy who won the title? I may disagree with the choice but do think SG will be at least be spoken too by the new owners.
17 Apr 2025 18:48:21
John iv no idea mate about company's house but relaying a story from a red tops.

Sws if sterling could stay fit he'd be the ideal replacement but I think we will have to go out and buy a rb.

Paul I don't see any announcement until end of season mate I'd love something definitive sooner.
20 Apr 2025 16:11:55
He's on 25m a year i believe and hos salary wouldn't be affordable under any circumstances with ffp. I still like myscatt but have a feeling Gerrard maybe coming back unless takeover doesn't happen then. it. ll be BF or Mcinness.
20 Apr 2025 16:09:55
Cortes will be here next season unless there's some clause in his deal so we should at least play him to see exactly what he can contribute i have my doubts but he should get some game time.
20 Apr 2025 16:07:02
We should only play any player if there form deserves it. Imo tav should've went last summer and for us as a team and a club really need better than tav who has regressed.
