John, after our failure to beat kiev are our offers for rhamani taghalen and sima along with South American rb now off the table?
1.) 14 Aug 2024 14:13:59
They have never been on the table! We will be lucky to sign anyone else at this rate!
2.) 14 Aug 2024 14:19:59
The club budget for EL so it shouldn't but I'd be surprised if a sima or Rhamani are signed purely down to the fee unless we can sell a Cantwell or a hagi or tbh all our players are available.
3.) 14 Aug 2024 14:22:18
Time will tell, but it’s likely to be different as at least two wanted CL football.
4.) 14 Aug 2024 15:18:46
The two that wanted CL football, it's unlikely they will get it anywhere else in truth, I can see either Sima or Rrahmani not both after last night, we still need a midfielder, CB on top of a striker.
5.) 14 Aug 2024 15:34:14
Nah this board are great they do a really good job of running the club
???????.
6.) 14 Aug 2024 15:35:57
I can honestly see us struggling for top 2 this season Aberdeen look so much better than us.
7.) 14 Aug 2024 15:57:07
Baaaah! ?.
8.) 14 Aug 2024 16:23:58
If we don’t sign anyone else’s and strengthen the squad be lucky to finish 4th.
9.) 14 Aug 2024 17:15:30
At the risk of the snipers laying in wait taking their shot why is there so much emphasis on folk crying out for Sima?
Granted we have an injured Cortes and Cerny working himself up to be able to undertake 90 mins so where does Sima fit in? Why is he consistently mentioned in some sort of saviour prose (just short of Jesus H Shankland himself) .
Surely the 6million or so floated would be better spent on x2 starters with one that can actually come in and play 90 mins and take shots on instinct and not forty four touches and concede possession like it’s the right thing to do.
10.) 14 Aug 2024 17:18:00
Finish fourth is nothing but bs Jones.
11.) 14 Aug 2024 17:18:30
Well we need to beat speccy's team this week or there will be protest marching, he's about to (with the backing of yet another fake club owner) sell his main striker .
Our board of free hurl people need to note quickly the disappointing 39,000 there last night or suffer the consequences rapid.
12.) 14 Aug 2024 18:34:43
Sima is the best winger we’ve had in about 15 year numbers and ability.
13.) 14 Aug 2024 19:13:53
Young blue I think it's more our league players don't fancy there's other mob with cl football had to pay up to 9m for an average striker put on a 5 year deal.
14.) 15 Aug 2024 08:43:39
Give the Sima chat a rest. Too expensive for what he actually is, not what some fans think he is.
At least Shankland was achievable.
30 Jul 2024 16:18:46
John or anyone else with information, do you know if we are interested in any young Scottish players that have or have not previously been mentioned on here? Guys like Cameron, Mackenzie, miller etc.
1.) 30 Jul 2024 16:26:05
Bgate, we looked at Cameron, I like him but not seen as better than our academy, ie Mackinnon Lovelace ishaka rice
Miller we know all the rumours on here, we certainly won’t pay four million for a kid that could walk out at say 22 for a development fee
If you refer to mckenzie at Aberdeen, we looked that’s about it
Of all the kids, Watson is the one.
2.) 30 Jul 2024 16:36:43
Realistically I doubt Motherwell could hold out for £4m. They're pretty much a loss making club without the odd player sale. I think we should be looking to a deal at half that with reasonable add-ons. The guy has 2 years left on his deal, and that's reducing every day. And while there's said to be EPL interest, it doesn't look like they've put their money where their mouth is. We really need to test the water with a bid and go from there.
3.) 30 Jul 2024 16:38:16
Interesting John that Watson seen as the one from the pick of young players do you think that’s due to price or staff seem him as having more potential than miller?
4.) 30 Jul 2024 16:46:08
John, very surprised to hear that McKinnon is rated even as equal to Lyall Cameron. Cameron has just played a full season for Dundee and is the same age, whereas McKinnon couldn't get a game for Partick a year ago.
5.) 30 Jul 2024 16:55:19
Thanks John.
6.) 30 Jul 2024 16:55:26
Agree John. Don’t think Watson will be available for transfer until Killies European run has finished.
Would still hope Nsio and rice get a chance this year.
7.) 30 Jul 2024 17:12:19
Mentioned earlier I'd love us to sign more Scottish players. Forgot about Watson tbh. Lad looks seriously talented and I'd love us to try and get him in the door.
8.) 30 Jul 2024 18:16:18
Pc. Really liked McKinnon, he loves his attitude.
9.) 30 Jul 2024 19:11:11
To be fair the boy Cameron stood out against us last season, find it hard to judge our own youngsters unlesssthey get run in first team which does not happen often, think Lovelace was unlucky and McCausland lucky in the sliding doors moment last season.
10.) 30 Jul 2024 19:48:34
UnionJack, Kilmarnocks Euro run will be over in a couple of weeks, so we won`t have to wait long.
11.) 30 Jul 2024 20:16:44
ishaka and lovelace can't be that highly thought of when we have terrible wingers and still don't see them.
12.) 30 Jul 2024 22:03:44
Dado both missed most last season due to serious muscle injury.
08 Dec 2023 16:19:12
Being reported John park has left the club.
1.) 08 Dec 2023 17:24:29
Great news shocking track record at ibrox.
2.) 08 Dec 2023 18:09:09
Best news of the weekend, get him chased.
3.) 08 Dec 2023 19:04:08
John indicated that he was on his way out, great news as far as I am concerned. His track record with us was abysmal!
4.) 08 Dec 2023 23:45:14
His pish signings where a tactic
Undercover celtic agent
Whoever sanctioned that should be paper as well.
5.) 09 Dec 2023 12:46:40
Said at time didn't understand the appointment.
13 Oct 2023 09:30:15
John 27 I read one of your posts yesterday or day before saying one candidate had turned us down? Was this guy muskat or Clemente? Also are we now on to 2nd 3rd or 4th choice for manager position? Any information welcome John ?.
1.) 13 Oct 2023 09:49:14
That’s not what he said. He said there was another manager who had turned down a job, meaning with someone else, who may now be on our radar.
2.) 13 Oct 2023 10:18:32
Bgate my info Jensen turned us down, he was favourite
Other two in frame well publicised ie clement and muscat, Parker is the other name gers not what i said.
3.) 13 Oct 2023 10:37:20
So does that mean Jensen was our number 1 pick John?
Who do you think will take or be offered it now?
4.) 13 Oct 2023 10:44:35
Sorry John, that’s what I thought you had meant from what you said. Picked that up wrong, apologies.
5.) 13 Oct 2023 11:01:40
Cool Gers.
My info Jensen was who we wanted. We move on.
6.) 13 Oct 2023 11:03:12
Is it nena bjelica the manager that has come in late?
7.) 13 Oct 2023 11:27:03
Thanks again John, good information as usual ?.
8.) 13 Oct 2023 11:55:55
I think we need to wait John had originally thought lampard ferguson and Morris would be the management team or that Clement was flying in on Tues by someone else the truth is no1 really knows but hopefully we. ll all know soon and its not often John is wrong.
9.) 13 Oct 2023 13:03:05
One Walter lampard was never getting job. Whilst everyone in media writing stuff we were doing due diligence off others effectively under the radar.
10.) 13 Oct 2023 13:41:35
Actually think lampard might have been a target until we seen the reaction of fans . So it seems Jensen was number 1 target but that’s not to be. I wonder if Parker is maybe a souness influence if that’s to be believed (souness advice)
John out of the 3 names who would you prefer? I actually think if we had a full fit squad things might not be as bad as it seems however I do believe any new manager will need time and luck.
11.) 13 Oct 2023 14:40:36
1 betting app has muscat at 1/ 2 another has clement 1/ 3 crazy.
12.) 13 Oct 2023 15:09:49
John it was a post you made I read saying lampard Morris and ferguson where getting the job but no matter who posted when people should remember this is a rumour and banter page and stop b.
13.) 13 oct 2023 16:35:51
strummer again, these betting offers are novelty, they won't take a penny ove4 about 25quid without they're security having a look, no decent wager will get accepted.
14.) 13 Oct 2023 16:40:30
Walt trouble is on here you offer an olive branch of sorts and it's swatted away so now I don't bother trying.
I just say what I think.
15.) 13 Oct 2023 18:49:17
One Walter 100% I have not written any post re lampard getting job.
I have consistently said lampard a red herring,
16.) 14 Oct 2023 09:56:13
Did you not make a post saying Job hasn't been offered to anyone?
17.) 14 Oct 2023 20:22:05
Yes gofor I did, and it’s not getting offered to lampard at all.
01 Sep 2023 09:23:37
Anyone picking up Scott Wright to stoke city?
1.) 01 Sep 2023 09:32:46
What a signing that would be for Stoke, he's the best players Ibrox.
2.) 01 Sep 2023 10:01:20
I hope so. The guy played 30 games last season and couldn’t score. Why anyone wants him I don’t know. Should be nowhere near a club like Rangers.
3.) 01 Sep 2023 10:28:11
How many minutes did he get in those 30 games?
4.) 01 Sep 2023 10:49:33
Aren’t stoke also meant to be in for Ben Davies on loan aswell.
5.) 01 Sep 2023 10:54:17
Scott Wright is a decent enough player. Is he good enough to take us up a level? No. Has he came in on a free and played his part? Absolutely. Concerning thing for me is I’m not sure Sima is any better as a right winger.
6.) 01 Sep 2023 10:56:19
Verdant have you ever thought about going into sales. With that pitch Doncaster will be on the phone trying to get you to broker the next tv deal.
7.) 01 Sep 2023 11:33:08
We should try and hijack az move for sadiq that put 2 past Aberdeen last night he’s what we’re missing and he’s only 3.5 million.
8.) 01 Sep 2023 12:09:47
If you judge wright on Scottish talent he's not far off the other Scottish players in squad.
9.) 01 Sep 2023 14:21:04
Hopefully Scott Wright will go to Stoke and he might just be good enough to get a game for them. At least we would get his wage off the books and we might even secure a small transfer fee. He isn't the level we should be signing but then looking at recent results could we say any different about most of Beale's signings and some of them cost big bucks!
10.) 01 Sep 2023 14:59:11
Stoke have made a lot of signings this summer, there is no way they would be interested in a player as poor as Wright.
11.) 01 Sep 2023 21:46:35
Thought sadiq was exactly type of player we are craving for the money he is an absolute steal. Strong fast and scores goals. What a winger.

If Todd Cantwell has his wish and gets a move, how much do fellow posters on here think we can expect to get for him?
1.) 25 Jul 2024 07:03:20
Circa £4m. Hoping we’ve agreed a deal since PC specifically mentioned it but that have been due to him not featuring.
2.) 25 Jul 2024 07:10:56
3-4 million tops.
3.) 25 Jul 2024 07:12:55
Bgate around 3m mate, but should have been a lot more if he kicked on like he done in his early days.
4.) 25 Jul 2024 07:17:42
4-5 million. Maybe a sell on but 5m would be fine.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 07:43:32
ir we get 3 mill tske it a player does not want to be at ibrox so get
him off the wage bill.
6.) 25 Jul 2024 08:15:53
2m with add ons and if he’s submitted a formal transfer request that saves us a few quid from the deal.
7.) 25 Jul 2024 08:39:30
Bgate he cost 1.5 si i'd hope for 2.5, addons and a sell on.
8.) 25 Jul 2024 09:30:51
We got £5M for Kamara and he was barely a squad man later when he left. I’d be expecting at least the same for Cantwell.
My only concern is with all these 1st team players playing with the B team, that our B team is going to be better than the 1st team!
24 Jul 2024 13:03:00
With the hearts match and europa qualification fast approaching do we continue to play players we are actively trying to get off the books in friendlies? We might after all be relying on these guys. So do we get these guys prepared or do we avoid injury with them?
1.) 24 Jul 2024 13:44:57
ECL you mean or have u gave up already??.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 14:36:32
No smart arse I’ve not given up, you know what I meant.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 14:37:01
Tav quoted at for sale for 1m this am. Know we're trying offload but bit throwaway no?
4.) 24 Jul 2024 14:54:21
Miller and others. Do we sell tav say 2 million and save 4 million in wages or let him run down deal walk away for nothing
Same re goldso.
5.) 24 Jul 2024 15:12:04
I've posted recently about selling players below market value just to get them off the books. We have got to move these players on. They will not win us the league.
6.) 24 Jul 2024 15:24:19
John we sell.
7.) 24 Jul 2024 15:56:02
Sell Sell Sell Tav he once had a Rolls Royce of an Engine, These days it’s a Fiat Uno. ?????????.
8.) 24 Jul 2024 16:01:17
Bgate off course we do, because if we don’t same peo Will complain when they leave for zero.
9.) 24 Jul 2024 16:15:24
We have to get what we can but imo 1m fir tav is a joke but its a decision PC and the board have to make but with 10 days before season starts we are in a terrible position.
10.) 24 Jul 2024 16:25:19
Need to take a hit and sell to get off wages. Wonder we're all the people that slagged us off for saying expect low fees and that we'd get 15-20 from Saudis or profit on Lammers after good 6 months.
11.) 24 Jul 2024 17:13:46
Looks like we are getting a profit for Lammers.
12.) 24 Jul 2024 18:13:44
My worry is that Tav has not played in any pre season games yet so how match ready is he.
In my opinion and I understand others opinion will differ from this but yes we have to move him on and in doing so get a reasonable price for him.
In the event he’s still with us when Champions league qualifiers come around he has to be match ready to play his part.
Although maybe I worry needlessly and he is either definitely away or ready to play his part in what looks like to be a tough match against Kiev.
21 Jul 2024 09:11:23
John if you don't mind me asking, do you think we have any young players coming through who can seriously challenge for or win a jersey in first team this coming season? Personally think the ones who have been in and around past 2 seasons haven't really done it and now need games, king, Devine, McKinnon, yfeko frazer etc.
1.) 21 Jul 2024 11:32:41
Think John's your man for youth team has good info on them.
2.) 21 Jul 2024 16:39:55
Bgate yefeko will leave, coming through who have to get minutes all u name
Add in Lovelace Stevens Curtis possibly ishaka
I’m told munn likely to go on loan.
10 Jul 2024 12:42:15
All the best to mcrorie. I think he'll push on now. Probably sold him for peanuts.
1.) 10 Jul 2024 12:55:20
You expect big money for a guy who doesn’t play?
2.) 10 Jul 2024 13:03:13
Bgate allegedly 400k, addons sell on buy back.
3.) 10 Jul 2024 13:21:23
Just asked about buy back on post above John ?.
4.) 10 Jul 2024 13:22:03
How can someone be sold for peanuts when he hardly plays what amount were you expecting bgate?
5.) 10 Jul 2024 13:24:53
Good deal if that’s the case John, didn’t see Kilmarnock paying out that sort of fee. Probably a record fee for them.
6.) 10 Jul 2024 13:46:28
cannot see Kilmarnock breaking their transfer record for our reserve keeper?
7.) 10 Jul 2024 15:52:57
It’s an investment.
They got mayo for a supposed £250k
He’s prob worth £750k to £1m now.
8.) 10 Jul 2024 16:56:53
Storm if the amount John said is true I believe that is fair.
05 Jul 2024 09:36:52
I know we are trying to get the best young players in our academy and if we have them for 3 years they are classed home grown . Hopefully some of these boys are actually Scottish too, I think it helps sometimes. I'd try and sign Dylan Reid from Crystal Palace formally St Mirren who is the youngest player to appear in an spl match. If we get him now he could become a home grown player and he's rangers through and through which also helps.
1.) 05 jul 2024 16:31:24
decent shout bgate.
10 Sep 2024 13:08:18
Sws stop reading down market tabloids.
09 Sep 2024 13:10:30
I doubt very much gvb or any other manager in turkey would want to sign James tavernier.
04 Sep 2024 12:51:39
John did in fact indicate this regarding Tavernier and his testimonial. Problem is for Tavernier, I can’t see him getting a good turn out the way things are going his only chance of a turnout is if he agrees to donate the proceeds to a worthy charity.
28 Aug 2024 19:14:39
Correct John many posters didn’t want anyone from championship or below, apparently not standard required.
20 Aug 2024 13:19:34
So do we tell these players we will sign you as soon as we manage to offload some dead wood to free up wages? Not a very good sales pitch.
10 Sep 2024 13:10:37
Agree scotty.
09 Sep 2024 13:08:50
Some of these players you speak about have been involved with unrest regarding previous managers if stories are true. Maybe pc might be harder on players who might actually deserve it. I get the impression some modern day players don’t like home truths.
04 Sep 2024 12:45:50
I don’t think Scott Wright proved to be a player to be relied upon, he had his chances. Can still see the ball rolling under his foot.
03 Sep 2024 20:03:47
Wouldn’t mind a good solid spine to be honest.
02 Sep 2024 16:01:09
Ball watching and not following runners. Failure to tuck in and cover team mates, I could go on.
