Was given a new coaching staff name recently. Guy Andrew Goldie. Started at Dundee utd then Swansea and believe he was taken to Southampton also by Martin.
1.) 15 Jun 2025 19:20:14
Bells hill, just been promoted at Southampton. Has not been on the pitch in his roles recently.
2.) 15 Jun 2025 21:15:05
He was academy manager at Dundee United before moving down to Swansea in same role and was taken by Martin to Southampton till academy manager role there. His wife and kids have moved back up and they have or are in the process of selling up down south. He couldn't confirm it to my sources person I trust with my life who is close to Goldie. I knew the lad years ago but lost touch. I see him becoming academy manager with us.
06 Jun 2025 13:07:44
Was told by a friend, not sure if reliable or just 2+2=5, that Martin wants Harry Darling 25year old CB OOC at Swansea and Kyle Walker Peers 28 year old RB OOC at Southampton. Both look solid defenders with the RB looking big upgrade on Tav form recently.
Just waiting on Joe Aribo rumours surfacing.
1.) 06 Jun 2025 13:33:59
To be honest I'd like to see Aribo not sure if it would happen but definitely be happy to see him back and see him strut his stuff at Ibrox again
Probably learned a bit more since being away also
Harry Darling I've never really watched him play so can't comment but had read Martin has signed him twice so obviously knows the player very well
Kyle walker around 35yrs old can't say I'd be overly excited by that.
2.) 06 Jun 2025 13:36:02
Walker-Peters would be a top signing for Rangers and Darling a good one.
3.) 06 Jun 2025 13:40:04
I think Darling might be possible at a push for us financially. But KWP has had England caps within the last few years and realistically I think would be well outwith our budget and on a free will be getting a host of English teams bidding for him.
4.) 06 Jun 2025 13:45:11
Tav is going nowhere, Martin has already said that he sees Tav as a big part of his team, so unless he gets sold he will be right back and captain.
5.) 06 Jun 2025 13:51:08
The Aribo rumours were already rumbling last night on X and in papers suggesting he would be a target for Martin without saying he is a target.
6.) 06 Jun 2025 14:03:19
DR are hinting at a move for Aribo.
7.) 06 Jun 2025 14:13:15
Stig walker peters. Not kyle walker.
8.) 06 Jun 2025 14:22:41
Stingo different player mate.
9.) 06 Jun 2025 14:25:04
Aribo is a pipe dream. He's a year left on his contract and has just played 30+ games in the EPL. His wage will be 2-3* what we can realistically afford and if he wants to leave he'll have a host of EFL/ EPL teams who want him and can still blow us out of the water financially. Just not going to happen sadly.
We'll always have Braga though!
10.) 06 Jun 2025 14:37:14
Aribo 70k a week not happening and don't want him back.
Darling may well happen.
Kyle walker peters I would take him definitely an upgrade in Tav but don't know about wages.
You having a mare again stig? ?.
11.) 06 Jun 2025 14:38:12
Broxi he may well be but he isn't going to rip the club captain in his 1st interview now is he?
12.) 06 Jun 2025 14:45:47
KWP will be delighted Stigno has added 7yrs on him
?.
13.) 06 Jun 2025 14:55:51
Broxi he didn't say he was a big part of his team. He said he will be hugely important next season. another case of hearing something different from what was said. what he said (below) was really just saying what a great player he had been for Rangers.
"I think you have to respect what Tav has done here, it's incredible, " Martin added. "I think it was his first season having the armband when I came down.
"He is a really good person, and cares so much about the club. He's been a brilliant performer for the club over a long period of time, which is not easy to do at a club like this, with its size and stature.
"I have so much respect for that. I look forward to catching up with him properly, we've had a very brief conversation. I look forward to picking his brains and he'll be hugely important for us moving forward. "
14.) 06 Jun 2025 15:11:27
Are we saying Aribo is getting £70k a week in the Championship? I don't think so✌️.
15.) 06 Jun 2025 15:54:04
Yately the web pages where we make our players salaries up from are saying £70k pw.
16.) 06 Jun 2025 16:05:00
Could have a relegation clause.
17.) 06 Jun 2025 16:39:05
They all have relegation drops, pretty standard practice down there.
18.) 06 Jun 2025 16:52:41
So he's had his shot at prem and didn't work out thanks but no thanks want someone on way up not way down.
19.) 06 Jun 2025 17:10:56
Stig Arbil on 70k a week. Won't be happening.
20.) 06 Jun 2025 17:53:12
RB is a must. Tav is finished and we desperately need a new captain along with everything else new.
21.) 06 Jun 2025 18:07:58
Aribo like almost every player in bottom half of BPL have a 50% WAGE DROP if relegated so he would be more likely to be around £35k and in last year of contract wouldn't cost a great deal in transfer fee.
He is within our price range.
22.) 06 Jun 2025 20:06:29
I would not bring a player back on high wage that basically would not have a sell on
We need to think more long term with our signings young enough so if they do well can sell on and young enough if they don't someone still willing to take a punt on them when you sign players over 23 by that time most teams have already looked and passed and your markets to sell get smaller
Have to buy them young and show faith and play them
I mean was there any real diff in quality between nsiala and propper i'd say no but the potential up side in nsiala is better.
23.) 06 Jun 2025 21:59:58
You need experience.
24.) 07 Jun 2025 01:37:33
Nsiala came from AC milan and was part of MIlan youth side that went all the way to youth europa league final.
Personally i think he is a LB not a CB, can't remember the game but we played him at LB i think and his link up play with Jefte playing at LW was superb.
Lucky we got Nsiala there was a lot of good clubs interested in him.
did he make mistakes last season yes, did Bassey make mistakes in his first season at CB yes, and look how he turned out in time, give Nsiala a full season in a stronger defence and i think he will come good, there is definately a quality player there.
25.) 07 Jun 2025 10:03:28
LH I really like Nsiala and believe he'll be a very good player, but he has never played lb once for Rangers.
26.) 07 Jun 2025 10:47:45
How often did Martin use Aribo?
27.) 07 Jun 2025 11:26:36
The new manager has stated clearly Tav is in and certainly not finished, so you can bin those thoughts .
28.) 07 Jun 2025 11:32:24
Cooper Arbio played just about every game for him.
29.) 07 Jun 2025 11:39:59
Also think Nsiala would be good in a defending midfield role.
30 May 2025 16:39:44
So with the takeover now announced and finally official, we can look forward. Read that there will be new faces one of which is Co. founder of Cavanagh company.
Spoke to my mate who has a business relationship with them and he is quite excited. He says both have great business heads on them. My mate is a massive blue nose and he thinks the areas we could look to develop are the match day experience.
1.) 30 May 2025 16:57:48
Bellshill the best improvement in match day experience will be winning games.
2.) 30 May 2025 17:54:42
Exactly Penrith, no one will complain too much if we actually start winning and winning well would be even better.
3.) 30 May 2025 17:55:03
Got to agree Penrith. You can have as pre-match experience for the fans as you can give. Lose 3points = Lose the fans.
4.) 30 May 2025 17:56:18
Let's just put a team on the park that wins first and foremost. I'm there to see Rangers win the match day experience…. ??♂️.
5.) 30 May 2025 18:01:33
Sounds great bellshill.
6.) 30 May 2025 18:32:27
I, but we, d play better eating a 3ft hotdog and a 5 litre coke.
7.) 30 May 2025 19:51:39
It wouldn't be very hard to improve the match day experience as the things currently on offer are pretty mediocre. I think if i was to stand at the corner of the Main stand and the Broomloan and juggle a couple of tennis balls singing Kenny Rogers songs in my best Elvis impersonation voice then what an experience that would be for the thousands crowding round me enjoying the show.
You got to Know when ta hold em? uhh huh ?Know when ta fold em uhh huh ??
Fans singing and dancing chasing after my tennis balls because i can't juggle would be brilliant?.
11 May 2025 14:50:06
Saw an article about a 22 year old African LB from red star Annan I think his name is that we have reportedly signed. Any truth or is it just click bait.
1.) 11 May 2025 15:28:00
We haven't signed him.
2.) 11 May 2025 15:56:02
Think Feyenoord are close to signing him.
3.) 11 May 2025 16:11:53
Very good numbers
Think he had 7 assists and 1 goal in 28 games when I first looked him up about 2 months ago.
Vary big strong and fast. He's going to be some player.
4.) 11 May 2025 16:25:48
We are watching a number of players in that league - including a GK.
From what I've heard we've been very impressed by a number of players.
5.) 11 May 2025 16:33:09
EHL great to hear that. It's an underrated market/ league imo.
6.) 11 May 2025 17:06:20
Irvblue, it's also a league, and area, that's been identified as comparable with our league I'm terms of the physical demands.
7.) 11 May 2025 19:04:52
Hopefully it's Aleksander Vulic the keeper. 6 foot 7, commanding and surprisingly agile for his frame. I think there's a good bit of interest in him though.
05 May 2025 14:36:15
Just finished the Rangers stadium and museum tour and were told we have 1 young Scottish lad signed, Cameron, but we will have 2, possibly 3 finished in coming 3 to 4 weeks.
1.) 05 May 2025 15:15:10
Excellent ?.
2.) 05 May 2025 15:49:50
Things you love to hear.
3.) 05 May 2025 15:54:54
Hopefully they're not counting Cortes as one!
4.) 05 May 2025 16:39:44
Yeah cause they tell you that when you do the tour ?.
5.) 05 May 2025 16:45:03
Assuming you mean more Scottish players signed up? Mulligan will be one of this.
6.) 05 May 2025 17:46:25
Didn't know Cortes was Scottish .
Does Shankland count as a young Scottish lad (he's a lot younger than me ) ?
Seriously though I hope one of them is Miller. The best young talent in Scotland.
7.) 05 May 2025 18:22:25
Wsl Millers my first choice of signing for summer. Think he will make us at least treble what we buy him for and he already looks a cracking player.
8.) 05 May 2025 19:24:40
Actually they do and they told me who the manager would be on the tour. some lass called effin Debbie it was who was the guide ?.
9.) 05 May 2025 21:03:54
Would love to sign Miller but motherwell want 4+Mil, which i don't think we would spend and a lot of english/ french and italian clubs after him.

John you seem to have a good knowledge of our B team just now. Was talking to a friend about the young lad Finlay Curtis and how well he's been doing this season. After last night I'm sure he is on 12 goals 2 assists in 15 games. I'm hearing he has caught the eye of first team coaches. Any insight into how close the lad is yo getting an opportunity for the first team?

Lad looked good when he was at Dundee. Good engine and looked good going both ways.
22 Jun 2025 21:04:48
Heard some talk about a week or 2 ago but don't know the guy that told me. Would be a good signing in my opinion. Definitely would know what's expected.
20 Jun 2025 08:34:26
Thought he was starting to look like a good addition when he got injured. Would be happy to see him back.
20 Jun 2025 08:32:20
My information is that a guy called Andrew Goldie will become academy manager. Lad started at Dundee utd becoming academy manager there before moving to Swansea where he worked under Martin. Was taken to Southampton holding same role. I know his family, wife and kids have moved back up to Lanarkshire area. When his close friends asked he said he wasn't allowed to confirm it.
16 Jun 2025 23:00:39
At 25m we can't turn that down. Love Raskin think he's outstanding but we can go out and get 3 quality players for that 25m. For me if it happens we must secure Lennon Miller as we could make at least 25min 2 to 3 years.
