John, morning mate, do u have any info on the outcome of the meeting between Hagi and club?
1.) 18 Aug 2024 10:30:01
There is no indication of 1 happened.
2.) 18 Aug 2024 10:39:43
I would imagine we'll find out in the coming weeks, if he's in matchday squad then we've negotiated the wage issue in his contract, if not then what Clement said a few weeks ago still stands.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 10:47:14
Play the guy and pay the guy we need every player at the moment.
4.) 18 Aug 2024 10:56:40
Stevie nothing, apart from a meeting did take place.
5.) 18 Aug 2024 12:06:20
Thanks John. I know we disagree on Hagi the player, but keep us posted if u hear anything re the meeting and what’s happening with him .
If we don’t move him in before the window closes we absolutely MUST utilise him in the squad. No point paying and not playing him:
6.) 18 Aug 2024 13:23:29
Agree Stevie ?.
7.) 18 Aug 2024 13:34:21
Heard something the other day that the problem with Hagi's game time,
was the extras bonus payments added to his contract at the time of signing under Gerrard, certain bonuses were agreed based on games played etc, is it true?
think about it though, played almost every game for gerrard, played several games for GIO up until his injury, Beale extended his contract by a year, said once he had recovered was an important part of the team, just like Sakala etc, then suddenly he was sent away on loan, played over 20 games in the spanish premier league at a crappy team, now he is back fit and still not being played, sounds like the club are refusing to pay his contract bonuses, as they know if he plays one more game they have to pay him out his bonus.
could this be an ongoing issue with seeral of the players that downed tools then left on free's because club are not honouring the bonus payments agreed in their original contract?
Shoot me down all you want, just passing on what i was told.
We are in dire need of a creative 10, we have 2 and are playing neither, really putting them in the shop window for potential buyers this window, by letting them rot in he B team.
Get this mess sorted and explain to them both play your arses off and compete against each other for that 10 spot, and a team will come in and you will get your move, but you need to earn it, that will not happen playing in a b team that even play regular games against opponents.
8.) 18 Aug 2024 15:48:49
Laudrup yes been welll documented if hagi plays 1 more gane his wages go up 8k a week. Was sitting at work dicussing with a former scotland international during kiev game and he said this is a very common thing in a contract.
9.) 18 Aug 2024 15:58:07
Hagi won't play again fact.
10.) 18 Aug 2024 17:01:44
Paul is that why we have not played him since that last game he played for us and scored before being shipped off to spain, just because the club are not willing to honour the contract we agreed with Hagi.
Surely we could have handled 8k a week extra if it helped us win the league, that is a big if though.
sound like we are freezing a player out deliberately and not honouring the contract obligations we agreed to, so we force the player out of our squad, and then talk about buying another 10 lmfao.
Backwards way to take a club forward.
11.) 18 Aug 2024 19:21:12
If hagi is still here after the window its in his own best intrests to accept to scrap the clause in his contract and be available for first team football or stay in the b team with the same wage.
12.) 18 Aug 2024 20:08:58
I think it's clear the manager like several previous managers and the vast majority of managers in Europe don't want the player . Getting a small fee may be possible but that is the best and only outcome for the club, though far from certain.
13.) 18 Aug 2024 21:56:04
If Hagi was that good we would have paid the 8K and have him in the team. obviously someone doesn't think he is worth it.
14.) 18 Aug 2024 22:23:32
Laudrup …. it’s well documented what the situation is with Hagi and gone are the days when the club has the upper hand.
15.) 18 Aug 2024 23:56:25
Must be true that he won't play again then strummer said fact after it. That'll be that then lads.
16.) 19 Aug 2024 12:06:52
would Hagi even make a difference?
seems a lot of hassle and chat but i don't think he would even improve us.
08 Aug 2024 13:07:02
I’m reading that we got £1.5m for Goldson.
Anyone have any info I. That?
If true it’s a good deal by the club.
Also did we pay off any of his wages?
1.) 08 Aug 2024 13:31:33
Why does everyone keep saying about paying off players wages that get sold for a transfer fee.
If a player gets sold his contract with us gets ripped up as he would have accepted terms with another club.
we would only pay a players contract off if we release the player.
{Ed001's Note - sometimes you have to agree to continue paying a player some of his salary to get him to sign elsewhere, due to the hugely reduced salary the other team are offering. Robbie Fowler was still getting paid by Leeds United for years after he left.}
2.) 08 Aug 2024 13:47:46
No matter what it was was still a deal worth more than money.
3.) 08 Aug 2024 13:55:35
Stevie I heard 1.5m too mate.
4.) 08 Aug 2024 14:03:03
That seems to have been the rumour. More or less swapped him for Propper on significantly lower wages. Not much certainty if that was the case though, and I doubt we'll ever know for sure as the accounts go in to specifics on each transfer deal.
5.) 08 Aug 2024 15:03:35
1.5 million small addons small sell on
We paid no additional wages to him.
6.) 08 Aug 2024 15:10:47
Cheers lads, and pcloyal just same as been said mate he was in 38k a week or therabouts and doubt he’ll come close in Cyprus so wonder if we paid him a large lump sum to leave and free up our wages.
7.) 08 Aug 2024 15:38:29
Going in to the game vs dynamo I’d have took a draw all day long before balls was kicked, keeps tie alive, and restored some belief. We are def short of some quality to challenge for title. But how smug they are across the city is infuriating me. I really hope big Phil can wipe the smirk off all their faces!
8.) 08 Aug 2024 15:40:42
Stevie, Goldson getting 25k week in Cyprus,
9.) 08 Aug 2024 16:08:07
Probably paid up his signing on fee if it was built into the contract.
10.) 08 Aug 2024 16:13:07
That’s a great deal from the club about time we started getting fees.
11.) 08 Aug 2024 16:24:56
Cheers John for both answers mate.
He’s knocked it off hasn’t he? 25k a week for moving to Cyprus at his age and being on the decline
Not too shabby atall.
12.) 08 Aug 2024 16:25:11
The main thing is that he's gone.
13.) 08 Aug 2024 17:14:17
Stevie, also 5% income tax in Cyprus, better than over 40% here
Dado no his full signing on fee only payable if he stayed four years.
14.) 08 Aug 2024 17:57:25
Great insight John. CG will be a few k a week up in Cyprus. 50% tax v 5% in Cyprus. No brainer, Les pressure, European football, will win medals and lives in the sunshine.
26 Jul 2024 13:53:48
Nobody seems to have commented of Cifuentes joking Aris Thessaloniki, obligation to buy for £4.1m (€4.5m).
Great business.
1.) 26 Jul 2024 14:13:17
I did but it wasn't posted for some reason.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 14:13:38
Stevie if it is obligation that be be great news mate, over three times more than payed.
3.) 26 Jul 2024 14:30:12
We are never getting this, pure pie in the sky. Surely, this has to be a wind up?
4.) 26 Jul 2024 14:39:36
I read option to buy, not obligation?
5.) 26 Jul 2024 14:42:53
If we get that doe for him it would be a good bit of business by the club.
6.) 26 Jul 2024 14:53:42
Yeah Beale that’s what was reported mate.
Obligation after seasons loan.
Quote a lot of mo et so very well done to the club.
7.) 26 Jul 2024 14:53:59
That pays for Cortez next summer.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 15:06:41
It is option at end of deal not obligation?.
23 Jul 2024 15:28:03
Goldson on club flight to Birmingham 8 mins ago.
1.) 23 Jul 2024 15:33:46
Seen that too. Disappointed he still with us. We won't win anything with Tav and Goldson at Ibrox.
2.) 23 Jul 2024 16:00:08
Tav and Goldson have been great servants to our club. If they both go in this window I wish them nothing but the best. Once a bear always a bear ?.
3.) 23 Jul 2024 16:01:06
Ah well, that'll be that then. I was actually thinking with the talk of Tav, Goldson, Hamilton etc that we finally might be off loading players. Tav and Goldson's wages are crippling along with Matondo. If we go into next season with a back line of Tav, Goldson, Davies/ Souter, Yilmaz/ Jefte then sadly it'll be same outcome.
4.) 23 Jul 2024 16:08:50
For Christ sake, just thought things were looking up, woke up to another Shankland rumour and now this, I’m heading back to bed, see you guys in September.
5.) 23 Jul 2024 16:10:55
Maybe he’s chosen to sign for Birmingham and the club are just giving him a lift ?.
6.) 23 Jul 2024 16:13:51
Gers78 here's bloody hoping.
7.) 23 Jul 2024 16:26:09
Maybe giving him a last game for a send of maybe.
8.) 23 Jul 2024 17:01:41
Def Birmingham England?
9.) 23 Jul 2024 17:25:17
Gers78 ???
I posted a pic but it’s not went up yet
We really need someone to ask somebody at the club direct what is happening with specific players ie Goldson tav cantwell
Believe Hagi will be off, believe they’ll all be off along with Lawrence and lammers and dessers
Think tav may just well stay.
Think dowell will be staying along with Matondo maybe wright aswell clement seems to like wright.
10.) 23 Jul 2024 18:02:26
Stevie the club won’t tell you anything until a deal has been done.
11.) 23 Jul 2024 18:39:11
Doesn't look like his potential move is happening to Cyprus.
12.) 23 Jul 2024 18:43:45
I know what u mean storm, I was more meaning a Goldson away for medical, it’s a straight question.
Not just admitting who he wants rid of but more direct factual wuestion when they need asked. Should be a fans press member in those conferences.
13.) 23 Jul 2024 18:43:56
I also think the manager likes Wright, the boy is a trier just not a great finisher but doesn't dither as badly as Dessers and he's quicker, most of us are quicker than Dessers.
14.) 23 Jul 2024 19:22:59
Kirkie as bad as dessers can he gets numbers wright doesn’t.
15.) 23 Jul 2024 19:38:32
Wright is a truly awful player with no end product either by scoring or assisting . The fact that he is a trier doesn`t come into it, you could pick anybody out the crowd who be a trier for the club. People keep saying we won`t win anything with Tav and Goldson in the team but we certainly won`t win anything if Wright is still playing . Don`t know if I can bear another season of watching him and Dessers in a Rangers jersey . Why we would be chasing a talent like Cantwell out the door and keeping a pudding like Wright is beyond me.
16.) 23 Jul 2024 19:49:19
Maybe he’s just cadge a lift down to his new gaff?
17.) 23 Jul 2024 21:06:11
Daily Record reporting deal is on hold for Goldson as we want £1m to sell. Would’ve that would’ve already been agreed.
18.) 23 Jul 2024 21:36:44
Wsl I’m also one of weights biggest critics mate. Should’ve never even been at ibrox, thought the lad hedges looked a better player than him at dons.
Just calling what I see though that I think he’ll still be here, same as dowell who I don’t rate either.
19.) 23 Jul 2024 21:42:56
Chat at football tonight was 5 players out and 3 in - 2 of the 3 similar to what we've signed already, i. e. young with potential, however the other is a bit left field and one that will divide fans.
Tried to push for names, but best I could get was ''think El Hadji Diouf''
21 Jul 2024 16:46:24
Could. Suggest, with regards to Goldson going to Cyprus today, he was possibly meeting with a Turkish club?
1.) 21 Jul 2024 18:10:13
Hope so.
2.) 21 Jul 2024 18:36:16
If Goldson leaves we need two starter centre backs. Davies certainly isn’t good enough.
3.) 21 Jul 2024 19:01:51
Stevie, here's hoping. We need him to leave with Tav.
4.) 21 Jul 2024 19:13:50
Yeah, we hope Goldson goes so that we can be left to pick from Davies, Balogun and Souttar, that will make things better. Just like we get rid of Tav and have a choice between Sterling and nobody or get rid of Cantwell so that we can watch Lawrence or Dowell play walking football . We are getting rid of all the wrong players.
5.) 21 Jul 2024 19:34:03
Think he'll end up at Trabzonspor too? Just hope Bennett makes clear there's No Backsies!
6.) 21 Jul 2024 19:37:24
We need 2 centre half’s regardless.
7.) 21 Jul 2024 19:48:08
GC, I’m agree we need 2 strong centre backs.
Souttar and Nsiala as back up balogun aswell.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Harry Souttar as 1 of them.
Will be hard to live on Davies I think we may only get rid of Conor.
8.) 21 Jul 2024 20:13:36
At this stage i'd be a happy man if we could move on Tav and Goldson and bring in McKenna and Souttar. Not much to ask. Right? .
9.) 21 Jul 2024 20:20:21
If goldson leaves it will cure my impotence.
10.) 21 Jul 2024 20:32:57
Possibly a few Turkish clubs with a training camp in the North maybe check out where Gio's club is just now .
11.) 21 Jul 2024 20:51:40
Wslger I agree on cantwell and tav argument has merit but goldson is woeful and always has been people have failed to see it until now.
12.) 21 Jul 2024 21:20:15
Honest question Stevie, Have you watched Harry Souttar a lot, I haven’t but been reported that he is strong in the air but not the quickest covering the ground, we certainly need more pace in that area if we are going to play a pressing game.
13.) 21 Jul 2024 21:20:42
I'm reading aris limmosol.
14.) 21 Jul 2024 21:50:47
True blue, honest answer mate - no.
I seen a bit of him as a kid at Dundee Utd not much of club football but seen a lot of his games for Australia and he has always really impressed me in those games .
I think we need 2 starters.
1 with a strong physical presence and aerial threat, and the other who can play a bit and has pace.
Those 2 would be my starters with Souttar and Nsiala as back up and balogun as 5th. Maybe even back up instead of Souttar if he’s fit enough of the time.
Hope that answers your question as honest as I could mate. I don’t pretend to have seen a lot of players if I haven’t mate.
15.) 21 Jul 2024 22:23:52
Tav and goldson need to go due to their age and wage - amazed some can’t see that - replaced with younger cheaper options with a good future sell on - like Cantwell but may be one of our most sellable assets - Davies Lawrence wright dessers Lammers hagi - if we can move them all we can give PC a chance to build his team, save a load on wages and build for future - I think we can shift a good few or certainly hope we can - looking forward to the season regardless ??????.
16.) 21 Jul 2024 22:45:57
I think at the end of the day we are governed by those players who are actually generating ‘transfer’ interest.
The desire to move on a team of players from Dowell, Hagi, Goldson, Tav, Lammers, Wright etc needs to be tempered with both expectations as to what we are likely to receive for them as well as whether they go.
We’ve seen Lammers reject a number of opportunities due to salary demands (which he is entitled to do), and I think we may need to be creative in helping move some high earners on.
That then means we equally have to be creative in our signings from here on in. Don’t shoot me when I say looking at both the ‘free’ market for players like McBurnie, Tyrese Campbell and McKenna or finding creative ways to attract the likes of Conway (last year of contract and currently banished from his 1st team training, such as player swaps (say Ben Davies for him) .
Money is tight and we need to box clever and I think be more frugal in our contracts, but I believe we will get more experience in. Loan to buy seems a clear path.
As to CL it’ll come down to the draw and where the squad is at. Like it or not if the said players are still here come CL qualifiers then if they’re deemed important enough they’ll play.
I am an optimist without being naive. At heart we all want to unearth the next ‘o’reilly’ and our strategy is moving that way. Just hope the manager gets the time to see this through.
17.) 22 Jul 2024 06:08:07
I'd start nsiala what's the point of signing these guys if not going to play we don't have a reserve league or youth league do we?
Wasn't a fan of them being in. Highland league without promotion just there to be kicked lumps out of.
18.) 22 Jul 2024 06:37:21
@TrueBlue
We already have the better brother and the majority of our fans dying think he's good enough. Vast majority who want Harry do so based on rarely if ever having seen him play.
Harry is better in the air, but he's less mobile (in terms of direction change) than John. John is a lot better with the ball. Neither is quick, about the same. John is not aggressive in ground duels.
Long and short, I don't think Harry is any better than what we have currently. He wouldn't be a starter for me, so I don't see the point.
19.) 22 Jul 2024 09:20:00
J Soutar will be fine right side it's the doubts and fears left side that worry me, with uncertainty over Yilmaz transfer, Davies and of course Jefte who has looked not to good so far.
20.) 22 Jul 2024 12:49:54
RFC, Goldson hasn`t always been woeful ( 4 managers all had him as first pick every week ) although I admit he was poor last season. The point is if we sell him and the others we have no experience and are left with the players who couldn`t displace these guys. that's hardly an improvement. There is no guarantee that we will bring in better, there has been no signs of it up to now and to be left with Souttar, Davies and Balogun is a nightmare.
21.) 22 Jul 2024 15:38:07
Wslger
Do you remember goldson being at fault vs edouard at ibrox couldn't run
Do you remember him standing off the the pitch to right of goal when we drew 2-2 at Aberdeen
Do you remember him failing to cut out cross in europa final then flinging his hands up and blaming youngest guy in our team bassey
Do you remember his poor header that let them in this season when kyogo scored
Do you remember he faced to shut kyogo down at park head and gave him a free shot which kyogo took
Remember his f up in champions league qualifier
The guy constantly fs up and flings hands in air and points finger elsewhere how managers put him as vice captain I'll never know.
He's never been good enough ills say what I always do
Is he better than
Weir gough amoruso cellar butcher hemdani Moore boumsong boli bougherra ehiogu. Mcpherson mclaren Alves Andrew broadfoot Bartley bassey berg bocanegra deboer boli daily hendry khizianisvilli
Kyriakos petric Rodriguez
LOL I'd take any of these guys over him.

Although Cortes is an obligation, I’d guess that obligation kicks in after a set number of games or starts or appearances?
At this rate we may just avoid the obligation.
Which imo would be a good thing.
22 Nov 2024 02:45:09
I’d like to make a serious point here.
Ano am no flavour a the month the now right lol so be it .
But that aside. What is it with rangers having hatred at worst or disrespect at best for ex bears.
Gerrard as example or Goldson borna kamara Alfredo Kent cantwell all recent but further back we’ve got negri or even super ally in some quarters. Barry. List goes on.
Current, tav dessers
Why do we show fellow bears who have represented us such distain?
It’s really bad when u add it all up:
13 Nov 2024 00:06:41
Here’s one for yous lads, what about ruud van nistelrooy to replace PC?
Defo worth a shout if we were to part ways with him.
12 Nov 2024 11:10:34
I’d place PC on gardening leave and give the job to David moyes until the end of the season with an agreement to review and both parties to have the chance to agree to a new deal or not:
12 Nov 2024 10:21:59
Seen a post online there from a guy, pretty quality tbh.
Matondo is now 10 weeks into an 8 week injury.
Pretty much sums rangers up for many a year doesn’t it.
02 Dec 2024 21:45:06
Jesus Christ lads, where did I say miller is near mctominay or Ferguson now?
Coops I mean Lewis not Barry:
Young miller is way ahead of Lewis Ferguson at same age right now.
And he’s also played more first team games than mctominay had at same age, so to say he has any going to be better or similar to that level in few years is just daft.
He has the ability to be better than both: obviously ability doesn’t take u there alone.
I stand by, miller will be too top drawer and imo will be better than those 2 be mentioned:
02 Dec 2024 15:20:12
Atlanta Utd reportedly wanted him for £4.5m in the summer. I’d be asking them again.
02 Dec 2024 15:19:25
Thanks for info mate.
This would be the best transfer news I’ve heard regarding rangers since Steven Gerrard news broke:
I really really rate this lad. He is going to be a star. Better than mctominay and Ferguson imo: time will obviously tell though:
For me he walks into our team right now so I wouldn’t be loaning him back
I’d loan them rice if they wanted for 18 months though.
01 Dec 2024 22:53:07
I think rice will go in to be a good player for us.
How good I don’t know, maybe after a years loan next season? Could send him to Motherwell on loan as part of a deal for miller.
01 Dec 2024 22:49:14
Storm, u obviously know the family better than I do, which is zero, m going from reading online.
However kids normally follow in fathers footsteps when comes to football mate as wee all know too well.
Doesn’t mean he’ll go to rangers but I think it will be between rangers and Italy mate.
