I see Ronaldo has pulled his funding from the Brazilian club that cifuentes is on loan too.
It has put doubts into whether they can afford him permanently at the end of his loan.

The 20+ goals a season striker problem we now have one on 20 and I do think he will score more in last few games so as rangers fans what do we really want? 30 goals now? I couldn’t believe the stat of 4 strikers since 2000 in top league have score 20/ 20+.
Dessers the answer? I don’t think so but it’s his 1st season in this league and he has hit this mark. We can still win the league but will be difficult. If Celtic win the league this season they will not have a striker hit 20+
Goals.
So basically my question is if we don’t win the league is it really the strikers fault? As lot seems to be getting blamed on dessers?
I don’t believe dessers or not getting another striker in jan the reason we don’t win the league just my opinion. Goals need to come from everywhere and other than Tav and dessers and sims have a shot enough goals from el.

That should say at the end we haven’t enough goals from elsewhere.
Clicked the wrong button?.

For me we seem a bit disjointed, there seems no flow through the team, chance creation is down also, yes when we get a chance big Cyriel can miss, every striker does, he has 20 maybe more before we're done, 20 is gd could be more, but I'd rather he was in place to miss than not, he won't miss them all.
3.) 01 May 2024 08:38:14
Good post storm.
4.) 01 May 2024 08:40:08
Good post Storm, I think it's a mixture of poor defending and missing chances that should've been taken, also, a it's a big also, the Officials have been hellish this season, not just for us, but for every team.
I hope PC has already identified his targets, I believe I saw something a few days ago saying that we have had initial discussions with a few players about joining us, we'll find out in due course I suppose.
5.) 01 May 2024 08:47:48
The thing is, what we really need is a striker that will score at least (if not more than) 20 goals in the LEAGUE, not just across all competitions. Yes Dessers has Improved from what we saw of him under Beale, however if we are being honest he still has a lot of faults. He can’t hit a first time finish. If you look at most of his goals he takes 3 or 4 touches before shooting (other than the one at the weekend and a similar finish against Hibs, both where he couldn’t possibly miss) . He does work hard but too often let's defenders dominate him and just goes down looking for fouls he’s never going to get. Let’s face it, if it wasn’t for his goal on Sunday (which of course was vital) he literally did nothing else all game other than one woeful shot that went no where near goal. If he doesn’t score in a game he usually offers virtually nothing else. He is a decent option to have around, I wouldn’t sell him, but we still need a better first choice pick.
6.) 01 May 2024 08:57:23
Nothing to do with not signing striker in January, more to do with picking players who are out of form and have no fight, to get league won, same culprits as usual, but we keep picking them, no creativity in mid field. we go on about how poor a team they are, so what does that say about us. can't see anyone doing us a favour plus can't see us beating them in next 2 games,
7.) 01 may 2024 09:41:18
combination of a few issues, dessers needimg 2 mins to control a ball doesn't help him or the guys around him as he stops everything immediately, when its put on a plate he scores, there never usually any great skill to his goals, he can't miss really, people forget how often the ball is in the opposition box particularly at ibrox, the midfeild don't know how to shoot exception possibly i'm diamonde, the wingers don't exist with exception of cortes and the defence is 2 years out of date, celtic and rangers are a pale shadow of former teams, guys like dessers score so many goals mainly because they play against such poor opponents and get 20 chances per game, sometimes more, imo shankland is vastly better player, but he's the only one outside old firm who has any quality, maybe miovski, at this moment in time the rangers centre forward, who plays virtually every game and is virtually guaranteed an abundance of opportunities, often from a couple of yards out should absolutely be scoring a barrowload, let's put it this way, if dessers somehow can't make 25 before the seasons out i would be very surprised . i dread to think the amount of sitters missed so far.
8.) 01 May 2024 09:49:11
Gers78 I am not saying dessers should be 1st choice strike next season as we need better. It was 20+ goals a season and now you are changing it to the league only. Only one player so far has 21 goals shanks then Tav at 17 then dessers 14. Celtic best goalscorer is O’Reilly and they are favs to win the league he has 13 goals. So having a 20+goalscorer in the league only is not needed this season anyway.
Gers58 I agree people do say how poor a team they are but it must make us worse at the moment as they are 3 points a head I have never understood that. I think both teams are very poor and unfortunately at the moment we are just a bit worse than them.
9.) 01 May 2024 09:49:53
I agree with that fork it would be worse if he wasn’t getting in the positions.
10.) 01 May 2024 10:08:42
He has his faults but a big part of the problem is that we rely on him for goals. If we had 2 wide players or a CM who consistently chipped in with goals then his misses wouldn’t be discussed as much. His 20 goals would be looked at with a different slant as we would be top of the league. For me he isn’t the answer moving forward but he’s just a part of the jigsaw that has pieces missing.
11.) 01 May 2024 10:13:07
Some of our defending this season has been dreadful.
12.) 01 may 2024 10:19:49
i don't particularly think they are better, as proven by europe, i just totally believe there's a large gulf in heart and courage,
13.) 01 May 2024 10:31:59
its about big chances missed will
danilo coming back make the difference lammers on loan there was
a time we talking about giving him away now 3 mill looks a possiblity
hagi will he come back if not how much can we expect any truth in tav and goldson leaving again even 10
mill for both we need to be looking
very careful.
14.) 01 May 2024 10:48:22
If we don't win the league it's not Dessers fault. Poor defending lost us vital games. Threw it away!
15.) 01 May 2024 11:08:25
You are spot on, Storm.
To win titles you need goal scorers all over the park ( and a decent defence ) .
In the last 10 seasons, 5 top goal scorers have been with the team that won the league.

Unbelievable if it didn’t have they daft designs totally ruins it.

No glasgow rangers kit ever minging for me ?As long as that famous scrolled badge is on the shirt that does it for me ???.
5.) 30 Apr 2024 13:34:17
Is it not the streets around the stadium, or meant to be? ??.
6.) 30 apr 2024 14:06:19
could have something there fork, like the streets of govan? possible, love to know if true.
7.) 30 Apr 2024 17:43:09
Tom, it is said to be the streets around Govan and ibrox, if this is our top we will find out soon enough
Actually quite clever if true, my great grandkids want the white top.
8.) 30 Apr 2024 17:48:45
Naw you're all wrong. Did it myself, left handed, blindfolded with my 3 year old niece telling me what to draw. I think it's fantastic considering.
9.) 30 Apr 2024 20:00:35
I quite like it.
10.) 30 apr 2024 20:02:47
think if your grandkid had been telling you what to do with your pen and blindfold you wouldn't be sitting down for a week parl, lol,
thats interesting john, as fork said, i never knew that, it might actually look better wearing it, would be good in a case on wall too.
11.) 30 Apr 2024 20:25:41
I usually hate castore tops but i like this one.
12.) 30 Apr 2024 20:37:55
I quite like the design, I'm just not a big fan of white tops. You can't beat our Royal Blue Top, white shorts and red and black socks. Wouldn't mid us have a blue and black striped away kit with black shorts and blue and black socks, (similar to one of the Milan Teams), and I would love to see a Rangers top with our rampant lion, Ready crest.
13.) 30 Apr 2024 22:01:40
White tops make us portly gents look fat, scratch that fatter? I quite like it and already slightly rotund?.

I like that storm.
2.) 27 Apr 2024 13:25:52
If that indeed is our new home jersey, i think it's really nice/ smart ? It's what our home jersey should be ie. plain, traditional and basic ?If this is the new home jersey i think our current home jersey and this allegedly new home jersey are our best 2 home jersey's since castore became our kit makers, with the current home top just edging it over the new home home top for me as the nicest ?.
3.) 27 Apr 2024 14:03:53
Always liked a plain top whereas the manufacturers seem to prefer an explosion in a paint factory look.
4.) 27 Apr 2024 14:16:21
Smart top storm.
5.) 27 Apr 2024 16:41:59
If only you could buy one with out the UNIBET stuff on it.
6.) 27 Apr 2024 17:23:42
Agree with that Ted's Pal, you used to be able to back in the day,
Looks more like a traing type top to me, but I must admit I like just plain blue, no zig Zags or stripes.
7.) 27 Apr 2024 19:40:12
Looks like training top. Pretty poor.
8.) 28 Apr 2024 10:44:20
Like this top.
25 Apr 2024 12:30:58
It’s getting to that time of season rumours flying about but we still have a few cup finals to play starting Sunday and a hard away game to st Mirren we must win and put a wee bit of pressure on that shower who play after us. Whether we win the league or not we need to make sure we don’t make it easy for them. I would keep same team as Sunday apart if all fit maybe only change would be matondo.
1.) 25 Apr 2024 14:31:10
Spot on, Storm.
Matondo failed his starting position audition and was a huge flop.
We know we have to win every league game just to be in with a chance of the title.
And we also know we have to beat Celtic for the Cup double.
And that's the $64,000 question.
Not can we turn them over at the Piggery but also beat every other team as well?
Not over to the Fat Lady Sings. But she is certainly warming up the tonsils!
C'mon the Rangers?⚪?.
2.) 25 Apr 2024 17:55:35
Matondo has been at us 2 years now and still can't control a football or beat a man. He will be playing with blackpool within 2 years.
Hes on big wages allegedly, he should be out the door if possible to reinvest on a starter.
3.) 25 Apr 2024 18:49:41
Have to agree we can't expect to win titles with matondo only contributing now and again from the bench.
21 Apr 2024 20:47:45
I see dessers still getting it in the neck of a few on here he is the reason we are in the final his two goals. Is he what’s needed going forward next season no everyone agrees with that but he is the best we have at the moment. Scores two people want 5 ? no striker scores every chance. We win 2-0 and in another final and some still not happy. I think if we manage to win the league some fans still wouldn’t be happy ?.
1.) 21 Apr 2024 22:22:07
Spot on Storm, big guy gets it stinking on here, he should be getting all the plaudits for today, along with a few that seemed more on it today, balogun, cantwell a few others and dare I say it, tav played well.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 05:05:16
Correct fork no matter what the guy does it will never be enough for some.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 06:08:52
He needs replaced ASAP but yesterday was his best all round performance and thoroughly deserves credit for that.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 07:05:32
I agree with you storm, even coming out of Hampden yesterday some supporters just never happy mate!
Credit where credit is due, yes, dessers probably should have scored 5 but his double put us in the Scottish cup final and a very well done for that to the big fella ???.
5.) 22 Apr 2024 08:13:45
If he scores against the mhanks in the final, then i might change my mind. We need players to turn up every game.
6.) 22 Apr 2024 08:32:48
Was Danilo not starting ahead of him before injury? I agree dessers has done well to turn things around but he’s still not scored against Celtic.
Performances could be better 13 goals in league is hardly great for a rangers forward just that our standards have been so low for so long now
Still think Clement will want a top striker signed and dessers could find himself third
New forward
Danillo?
Dessers.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 11:49:46
The big guy did well with 2 great finishes. Seems like a top guy and I desperately want him to do well.

He is predominantly a right back that can play left back too.
30 Apr 2024 21:07:12
Roofe I won’t rap anything thanks maybe you should have finished with boak ? man child.
Barron has never been a rangers player and now looks like he is going to Italy so it’s irrelevant that’s my opinion.
30 Apr 2024 18:49:57
Since jan? DTB by end of January the rumours were we walked away from talks with him. So with all due respect it’s irrelevant ?.
30 Apr 2024 14:28:35
DTB Barron is irrelevant.
29 Apr 2024 19:24:42
A quick check shows he is paid 40k a week at wolves so borna whoever is telling you that is pulling your leg.
