I don't post rumours because I don't get info but. a guy I work with says there is apparent interest in stuart Armstrong and that we have contacted his club about availability. Only putting this out there to see if anyone has heard similar.
1.) 25 Jul 2024 09:43:58
Hasn't got a club and on trial at Brentford.
2.) 25 Jul 2024 09:46:23
And that be the reason I don't ever post rumours. Cheers for info.
3.) 25 Jul 2024 09:54:52
I’d take Armstrong in a heartbeat, decent player with good experience.
4.) 25 Jul 2024 10:06:07
A player we should have snapped up when his deal expired, current midfield is non existent and where is Keiran dowell.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 10:13:18
Been chanting this since halfway thru last season.
He should’ve been snapped up on a pre contract.
We won’t match his wages at Southampton or even Brentford he’d need to accept about 20k week
Very good mf player again though I’d want mf 3 with him in the team not 2 and a 10
Although he can play in attack.
6.) 25 Jul 2024 10:15:55
Orange tinted, But you're right Brentford boss quoted as saying "great player" very intelligent guy is Armstrong and that's rare in the game.
7.) 25 Jul 2024 10:35:20
Brilliant player. Would he come to us though ?.
8.) 25 Jul 2024 11:05:05
Turned down the offer of an extension at Southampton despite them getting promoted and is now on trial at Brentford so think he’s out of our reach.
9.) 25 Jul 2024 11:06:50
Good player.
10.) 25 Jul 2024 11:14:55
Armstrong isn't the answer, terrible passer of the ball, gave away possession a lot when he played for them.
11.) 25 Jul 2024 13:03:13
He's garbage imo and too old.
12.) 25 Jul 2024 15:43:27
Dowell lol so much for him strolling it in Scotland like many predicted.
I hope we now see the end of people underestimating how tough a league it is to play in.
13.) 25 Jul 2024 16:46:43
To be fair, Dowell has had horrendous injury problems. I actually think he is a very good player.
08 Jul 2024 21:18:19
Dessers was infact on the plane today to.
1.) 08 Jul 2024 23:56:01
I heard he missed the flight.
2.) 09 Jul 2024 07:20:22
? Big Dado!
3.) 09 Jul 2024 08:29:04
He will be with the squad until his move is finalised.
4.) 09 Jul 2024 09:39:55
Oooft big dado. I bet a few on here will get there knickers in a twist with that comment.
5.) 09 Jul 2024 11:54:32
?? surely not dave.
6.) 09 Jul 2024 12:38:36
He's missed many things maybe missing a flight would not be a shocker. Maybe was too slow on the stairs and they shut the door.
Btw there's a speedy gonzales type at Luton somebody mentioned we had looked at, apparently the quickest in the game down there.
7.) 09 Jul 2024 12:41:04
Ogbene is his name now relegated and wages to drop .
8.) 09 Jul 2024 13:03:54
I'm not dessers' biggest fan, but I think it's a mistake letting him go now. I'd wait 6 months to see how our signings get on first and Danillo will need time to get back up to speed.
9.) 09 Jul 2024 17:53:19
I agree totally Rfc, unless he wants away we should keep him for another season.
Dessers, Danilo, Igamane, and one more will do us. !
05 Jan 2024 19:59:11
Just heard from my source that mckenna is at ibrox as we speak.
1.) 05 Jan 2024 20:35:10
Is Emanuel Dennis there with him?
2.) 05 Jan 2024 20:41:12
Well if he is there and signs I wish him all the best and hopefully brings us success, not a player I would want but who knows he may be brilliant for us, signs then he has my support.
3.) 05 Jan 2024 21:30:02
Was only kidding lol. Was just repeating Paul's info as that seems to be the new trend.
4.) 05 Jan 2024 22:02:56
How come you get away with that orange tinted and I get told I'm being negative.
5.) 05 Jan 2024 22:19:23
Ally mccoist driving the taxi.
31 Dec 2023 20:31:32
Have u heard any names or positions john? Just going off you saying that hotel is booked.
1.) 01 Jan 2024 10:14:16
Millio definitely one orange
McKenna is a target and Barton a target.
2.) 01 Jan 2024 11:02:28
Millio John227?.
3.) 01 Jan 2024 11:04:03
Barton?
4.) 01 Jan 2024 11:17:33
Who is Barton and what position does he play.
5.) 01 Jan 2024 11:35:21
Hi All, Happy New Year.
I suspect Barton is actually Barron (pesky predictive text) .
Maybe I am being naive but I don’t think that the last Celtic result is a killer;
If we can win our 2 in hand, find our own killer touch (I believe we simply need a finisher rather than a forward who can play all positions. I won’t repeat the maroon clad player but if not him then someone of that ilk) . We have holes IMO at left back, CH and a true down the line winger, but don’t think we are that far adrift. Those in green were overall better but as we have seen this season both the big 2 look vulnerable if the other SPFL sides can be brave enough…Points will be dropped. So win out games and we will win the league. Not easy granted but got to be optimistic for 2024 :)
6.) 01 Jan 2024 11:39:10
I take it John is referring to Million and Barron lads.
7.) 01 Jan 2024 11:39:31
John means million manhoef Dutch right sided winger and Barron from Aberdeen who will be a long time replacement for jack.
8.) 01 Jan 2024 11:39:47
Think he means barron.
9.) 01 Jan 2024 11:39:58
Don’t want McKenna.
10.) 01 Jan 2024 11:41:50
John, I heard yesterday from a retired Celtic Doctor, that they want McKenna. Have you heard any more on this. (Incidentally, he also said that there had been rumoured interest from Rangers in Luca Ranieri, centre back at Fiorentina) .
11.) 01 Jan 2024 11:51:33
He meant Barron for the sheep I think.
12.) 01 Jan 2024 11:53:13
Joey, it's too Boss midfield n skelp mgregor.
13.) 01 Jan 2024 12:08:29
They tried to sign Mckenna b4 he went to forest.
14.) 01 Jan 2024 12:27:45
Not keen on mckenna imo no better than souttar.
15.) 01 Jan 2024 13:14:49
Sorry folks predictive text, yes million and Connor Barron
There is a lot of interest in McKenna all over, a free.
16.) 01 Jan 2024 16:13:42
Think a Souter/ McKenna CH pairing could be interesting. Always thought McKenna was a good player at Aberdeen and did very well in England when he first went down although latterly not so well. Believe we also have eyes on another option for CH.
07 Oct 2023 07:13:48
Strummer you heard anything re who will be our new manager?
1.) 07 Oct 2023 16:32:33
Orange tinted I'm still saying clement.

20 Jul 2024 18:31:27
My take is we need one or two proper no nonsense, experienced centre half's, a right and left winger and a proven number 9 who can control the ball. And an experienced CM who is a cool head. 5 - 6 starters are required before anything else. That should have been what we done first instead of all the projects.
1.) 20 Jul 2024 18:57:58
Best part of £20-£25m needed there then to get what we need Orange.
Unfortunately we don’t have that cash. We are in a position now where we can’t even have a net spend due to the poor financial situation we find ourselves in.
2.) 20 Jul 2024 19:39:54
Hard to do that with the current situation. Can’t bring in 5,6 top players who will be earning on the higher scale of the squad and cost more money when we have 7/ 8 players on 20k plus a week who need shifted first.
3.) 20 Jul 2024 22:04:00
I think the money is there to spend 25/ 30 million. Just the fair play regulations as a hold up for the time being. Flog a few first.
26 Jun 2024 11:44:50
Has the morrocan boy joined yet? It was meant to be feoday was it not? Or was it then monday? can't keep up.
1.) 26 Jun 2024 12:31:19
Feoday has always been my favourite day of the week?.
2.) 26 Jun 2024 13:32:44
Weoday I believe.
18 Jun 2024 23:00:04
If its true that rrahmani club want 7.5m euros then I would prefer miovski for that kind of money.
1.) 19 Jun 2024 05:55:11
Shankland about to enter his last year of contract offer Hearts £3m for him.
2.) 19 Jun 2024 09:16:57
Lennon isn't going to do us any favours in this deal. wouldn't surprise me if he went to Celtic.
3.) 19 Jun 2024 12:07:09
Mark, I genuinely think Lennon is trying to convince the lad and Celtic to do the deal.
4.) 19 Jun 2024 12:13:56
Tin foil hats back out again.
5.) 19 Jun 2024 13:35:03
Its nothing to do with Lennon, the price will be set by the club president and I`m pretty sure he won`t let a manager who is just in the door influence him too much.
6.) 19 Jun 2024 14:30:29
Only if Celtic want him.
Good chance Miovski going to them so they may not be looking for another striker.
7.) 19 Jun 2024 16:40:52
Wsl, Lennon has plenty of influence over the potential deal. All he has to do is recommend him to Celtic and if they’re interested tell the player to hold on a bit for the bigger better club etc as you’d imagine him to say.
If he could get one over us by getting out too target to Celtic it’s silly to suggest he wouldn’t do everything in his power to do so mate.
May not be the case but u can bet he’d do it if he can.
8.) 19 Jun 2024 17:27:47
Stevie, I agree.
9.) 19 Jun 2024 19:43:12
I don’t agree with that.
If Rogers is interested then it could happen, only then would it be beneficial for Celtic with Lennon there.
14 Jun 2024 05:44:05
Too far down now but it's a reply to fork about my post about the European squad. If you only register 5 of a possible 8 home-grown players it does not mean you then have your non European players reduced by 3. It means you just have 3 less homegrown players. That is it. Otherwise it would be like a double punishment. So basically you can have 17 non homegrown or locally trained players regardless, and 8 homegrown players, as a minimum to make your squad.
1.) 14 Jun 2024 06:25:41
You miss the point OT, you lose in overall squad total, yes you still get 17 of the 25, but some of the homegrown are senior or vital, as stated balogun and yilmaz missed out due to squad being reduced, as squad dynamics in managers selection is affected and detrimental to the squad. If you include senior homegrown and don't fulfill your quota, foreign players will miss out, what part of that is hard bud.
2.) 14 Jun 2024 06:31:46
Plus read the posts back, I never said we lose foreign/ European players, I said we can lose them if the quota is not filled, it limits the managers selection choice by list A squad reduction. Uefa rules bud but the managers selection headaches can impact on others not homegrown as stated ie. Balogun/ yilmaz last time out and the squad was only 23 as opposed to full 25.
3.) 14 Jun 2024 06:45:37
Basically it's not the rules that reduce the non homegrown players, it the selection headaches the gaffer faces that impacts them when squad size is reduced. I see where your coming from bud, but it happens and not just to us?.
4.) 14 Jun 2024 07:13:02
It’s a simple rule, we r act The best position we have been in years re our own academy players that are 21 plus, wether they r good enough is a different debate, as it stands we have.
Mccrorie/ kelly
Yefeko
Mackinnon
Lowry
Fraser
Wright, gk
Devine
Add in wright, Barron there’s our 8.
5.) 14 Jun 2024 07:16:15
Balogun and yulmaz didn't miss out because the squad was reduced. They missed out because they weren't picked to be part of the 17 non home grown players. I have read the posts hence why I'm replying. You said if you don't fill the quota for homegrown the squad is reduced, that's why they missed out. But that isn't the reason because reducing the number of homegrown players doesn't affect the amount of non home grown (17). The way you put it across is that if you reduce the amount of home grown that you select it reduces the amount of non home grown. So by that reckoning if you only select 3 home grown from a possible 8 then you reduce the non homegrown by 5. So that would mean 12+the 3 homegrown to have a squad of 15 lol. I don't think so.
6.) 14 Jun 2024 08:29:34
I never said that I said all along the failure of 8 of homegrown players reduces the A list quota, and gives the manager a selection headache in terms of squad dynamics.
Not once did I say that non homegrown players would be reduced, I said in every post that non homegrown player can miss out due to the reasons above and every previous post, you choose to interpret your own ideas of what it involves to suit your reasoning which is wrong. And you answer what I've told you in every post the past week in your opening 2 sentences bud in relation to non homegrown missing out due to manager selection headaches. There lies the issue, its selection headaches is why some miss out not squad size, made this clear numerous times.
7.) 14 Jun 2024 08:33:42
If it's came across wrong I apologise, but as stated its more about squad dynamics and selection problems, that can result in non homegrown not being included and that's included in posts to John, gofor and yourself all at different times the past 7-10 days. Hope this clears my thinking up bud?.
8.) 14 Jun 2024 08:36:36
Agree John it is simple to follow, but selection headaches can still see others miss out in the 17, as stated all along.
9.) 14 Jun 2024 08:43:46
Sorry to go on OT, but your not seeing the bit about players missing out because of selection headaches in a reduced squad.
10.) 14 Jun 2024 09:07:11
Plus, the reduction comes from the 25 not the 17 in list A, not in the way you refer to reductions in your post at 7.16 am, UEFA rules bud. ?.
11.) 14 Jun 2024 09:18:07
We get it. move on fork ?.
12.) 14 Jun 2024 09:43:03
Lol Colonel, just trying to clear it up for OT bud? moving on?.
13.) 14 Jun 2024 10:56:21
John - are we sure to sign Barron?
14.) 14 Jun 2024 12:42:40
Copland mb, if not we move on.
15.) 14 Jun 2024 13:14:09
Does McCausland not count as one of the 8, even though he is Irish he has come through our Academy?
16.) 14 Jun 2024 13:47:45
Agree John ?.
17.) 14 Jun 2024 14:04:58
Mccausland and Souttar count towards 8.
18.) 14 Jun 2024 14:50:57
Wslgers, MaCausland isn't Irish, he's British, as he's from Northern Ireland, thankfully still part of the UK.
12 Jun 2024 09:14:53
Just posting a small rant. Why do people suggest scottish players be signed "for the European squad quota". Does my head in. I'm all for it if they are going to be heavily involved in the games, but absolutely pointless task if they are there to sit on the bench for a quota.
1.) 12 Jun 2024 09:29:30
Because unless we want to fill our squad with the youth we need more home grown players.
2.) 12 Jun 2024 09:42:55
Because you lose main players if your quota is not full, but I understand your frustration and where you're coming from bud. If their in then use them.
3.) 12 Jun 2024 10:04:16
I think all would agree we mean Scottish or Scottish qualified players who can play 1st team football.
Which is why we have been linked at times with Kenny Maclean, Kelly, Barron, Harry Soutar, McKenna and more. Don’t believe we actively seek out squad fillers but at the same time we need to be both diligent and pragmatic in terms of costs and euro implications.
4.) 12 Jun 2024 10:40:23
Fork what do u mean u lose main players, I don’t understand this.
5.) 12 Jun 2024 11:10:41
You don’t lose players as you can still register the same amount of foreign trained players no matter what. It just means our overall squad is weaker as we’d need to fill the remaining spaces with youth players.
6.) 12 Jun 2024 11:23:07
My issue is why waste money on less talented players who would struggle to get a game in the SPFL never mind in Europe for Rangers.
I'd much rather promote the youth.
7.) 12 Jun 2024 11:27:55
Hi John, I think he was meaning if a few of our Scottish Senior Pro's were injured long term, we may have to use youth to maintain the quota levels, I may be wrong though.
8.) 12 Jun 2024 12:33:24
Nobody has asked for a player who’d struggle to get games for an SPL team. McLean McKenna Barron and Shankland are the ones I’ve seen on here and all would be able to do a job for us. Barron is the pick of the bunch for me and he seems to be the most likely.
9.) 12 Jun 2024 14:17:31
So you think McLean, Mckenna, Barron and Shankland will all walk into the Rangers team and are of a good enough standard to turn over Celtic?
Not very ambitious. IMHO.
Each to their own.
10.) 12 Jun 2024 14:35:24
Posted this after you asked gofor the other night John227, if your quota is not fulfilled with your 8 players in list A either homegrown or association trained, your quota of 25 players is reduced accordingly, List b is different, search my posts John, I lifted of Uefa site bud.
11.) 12 Jun 2024 14:52:08
David b you are wrong, A list is reduced if the quota of 8 is not fulfilled, as stated to John227, that's how balogun missed out and can't mind the other, as our squad was 23 instead of 25, only 6 were homegrown, so reduction of 2 players from list A, for every homegrown player not in the quota the squad is reduced, if it was 4 then squad is 21.
12.) 12 Jun 2024 15:05:26
So basically you must have the 8, if not then the squad is reduced, and even foreign players can miss out as the squad is diluted by the reduction, whether its 1 or 5 homegrown not in the squad, the reduction causes selection headaches, as instead of 17 main places in list A for the manager to fill, non fulfillment of the 8 is accordingly detrimental to who he wants in the squad if the quota is not full.
13.) 12 Jun 2024 15:09:27
Cool fork.
14.) 12 Jun 2024 16:29:54
Think the other may have been yilmaz, might be wrong though.
27 Jul 2024 08:50:33
Wow lol.
26 Jul 2024 16:34:31
Obviously that's the bare minimum GMW. But clearly not all in the squad do that. That's the point.
26 Jul 2024 16:32:53
Some deal for man u. Not so much Copenhagen.
26 Jul 2024 15:42:33
If he signs a extension get behind him and stop constantly moaning about the boy. It's actually embarrassing getting now. Support him, he wants to be here.
25 Jul 2024 21:09:48
So he is a fine young hannibal ger88?
27 Jul 2024 09:15:20
I get what my star is saying. But was it not stated his PREFERENCE was to stay in Spain the first time we bid, but the bid wasn't what seville wanted. Maybe we went back with improved offer a week later, and thought he might have decided he would come.
27 Jul 2024 09:12:01
I don't get this "I would pick him because he is cheaper for a start" nonsense. Wright is better than matondo on ability. That's all that counts.
27 Jul 2024 09:09:26
Is cerny going to be available?
26 Jul 2024 05:19:25
Nest player in the league by a distance? Heard that many times on here. Ramsey as just one example.
25 Jul 2024 19:36:34
How many loans you allowed.
