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.

10 Jan 2025 16:37:16
Something I don't get, a club like rangers should always have transfer targets for every position that suits our budget . We are in desperate need of a cb since last month but it seems we aren't making any inroads to signing one. Games coming thick and fast, are we just going to hold out till summer try and get some freebie's?
1.) 10 Jan 2025 17:10:50
That is what we're waiting on Stewart for.
2.) 10 Jan 2025 17:36:55
100% correct.
3.) 10 Jan 2025 17:55:40
We maybe don't have a pot to pish in.
4.) 10 Jan 2025 18:20:30
Spot on stsr that's the reason pc remains in charge. Frightening to think thst.
5.) 10 Jan 2025 19:13:54
maybe he is still in charge as the board have finally realised we need to stop the rinse and repeat process. so a question would fans accept this season ebbing poor with no signs of progress that they cans ee to then be competing for league next year or just sack another manager. no guarantees on anything mind you.
10 Jan 2025 12:08:57
I realise due to European squad we can't have a massive clear out right now but surely in the summer we need rid of
Clement
Balogun
Sterling
Yilmaz
King
Devine
Dowels
Matondo
Mccausland
Dessers
Danilo
Proper
In fact I'd probably only keep about 5 players for back up that bunch I mentioned are either unreliable due to injury or not the standard required. I'd build a solid foundation from the back commanding gk two uncompromising cbs 2 full backs who can defend and get forward a good holding midfielder with presence will need 2 wingers and I'd get an old fashioned battering ram striker as an option.
1.) 10 Jan 2025 12:30:29
Suggesting to get rid of Danilo is a horrible take.
2.) 10 Jan 2025 12:31:43
I understand most of them but sterling is a utility player and fills any position we need him to, yilmaz is a lb who is having to play rb because our manager for some reason loves to do that. and danilo is scoring goals?
3.) 10 Jan 2025 12:37:41
Need money for that but I get what you’re saying. Offloading some of these players will be a struggle as well. We can only hope.
4.) 10 Jan 2025 12:38:46
only question I have agate is where does the money come from to replace all those rubbish players who we will get little money for? if it needs to start from GK then Butland has to go as well as he is not going to get £30k pw as a back up.
not disagreeing just interested don your thoughts for funding of all these changes.
5.) 10 Jan 2025 12:45:53
Diomande, Bajrami, Barron should be on that list.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 12:48:03
Sterling and yilmaz wherever you play them can’t be relied upon usually injured as for Danilo I’m not convinced.
7.) 10 Jan 2025 13:17:45
Of that list I would keep Sterling, McCausland and Danilo but add Bajrami and Diomande .
If Yilmaz was only bad because he`s playing out of position, a forced situation not the managers choice, as someone has said I would want to keep him but he`s pretty poor at left back as well.
No way we sell Butland unless we get a big offer, whatever his wages he won`t be getting hem to be back up, certainly not to Kelly. As soon as he is fit Butland will walk back into that team .
8.) 10 Jan 2025 13:30:19
Danilo? Lol a guy who’s been doing well! He should be starting over bajrami!
9.) 10 Jan 2025 13:56:24
A lot of our players are not suited to scottish football ?.
10 Jan 2025 10:53:34
What a shambles we are. Little ridvan had an absolute stinker at rb, we have king who earns 8 or 10 k per week now our last choice for cb and apparently last for rb . A goalie who doesn't fancy diving to stop a goal our left back drawing out of tackles young lad flung in at cb beside proper who turns like an oil tanker and he's the captain. I remember clement saying when he came in he knew why we had so many injury problems, and he could sort that out, blamed the bold micks training methods. Now he says we are fatigued ohh and we probably have even more injuries! How many excuses are we going to listen to? We have a powder puff bunch of players who aren't near good enough and no leadership.
1.) 10 Jan 2025 11:03:23
Yilmaz was very poor last night but remember rb ain't his position and Jefte was honking last night as well, both fullbacks well off it, players need to take responsibility as well, Clement isn't going to get sacked that is about guaranteed, but I'd maybe find another position for him, that was as bad a performance I've seen last night.
2.) 10 Jan 2025 11:12:33
My star, I don't want Clement in another position at the club, I want him GONE.
3.) 10 Jan 2025 11:17:46
Excuse after excuse bgate.
Yilmaz needs sold if anyone comes up with the cash for him. You can count on one hand the amount of good games he has had for us.
Pc must go also 1 win in 5. He must have the worst record for a rangers manager since we came back up.
4.) 10 Jan 2025 11:22:15
Another position for pc? The dole?
5.) 10 Jan 2025 11:24:57
Mystar they are very few fans that want to keep PC so the board will have no choice but to sack him he has lost the majority of the fans and it’s only a matter of time.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 11:29:02
Fact of the matter is Jefte cannot defend. He might be a good outlet going forward, but he is laughable when needed to defend. I honestly do not see how he gets pass marks when Tav gets panned for being below expectations defensively. I don't blame Ridvan, he was out of position, but why they hell do we have guys like Devine on the books if we're not going to play them.
Abject performances across the park. I'd give Igaman, Hagi and Cerni pass marks. I think Dio suffered from what was around him. But everyone else was far off what we should expect. Bringing on Matondo was ridiculous.
7.) 10 Jan 2025 11:41:44
Mark, Stewart is going to probably tell us we have no cash for players and where are we going to find the cash to sack him?
Terrible football last night but players do need held responsible as well we can't just blame the manager everytime we perform like that, you think Clement wanted that performance last night, no.
I wanted to give him more time and that performance last night changes nothing for me.
8.) 10 Jan 2025 11:43:48
Coldo you'd like that, according to you Diomande is an awful player?.
9.) 10 Jan 2025 11:50:24
Yo-Jimbo lost how Hagi gets pass marks mate, he was another that had a honking game last night, no player got pass marks last night from me, and Clement was only being honest about Igamane he was wide far more than central and I never seen him having a go at him in his interview either he only said it will be worked on, fans getting offered with that, fine.
10.) 10 Jan 2025 11:53:45
My star according to you were making progress. that's an even bigger statement. Oh and let's not forget dessers 30 goals a season comment. Were in a bad bad way. Sooner phil the fraud is gone the better. Fans heavily turned on him last night and rightly so.
11.) 10 Jan 2025 12:08:44
Paul see if you couldn't see any progress fair enough mate.
12.) 10 Jan 2025 12:10:32
Maybe living in the real world Paul, we are potless as a club.
13.) 10 Jan 2025 12:17:14
Paul you fail to say I said only 30 goals if he took the penalties but just miss that put out for your argument eh.
14.) 10 Jan 2025 12:28:37
Clement needs to go, we’re now at the point where we can say with confidence that he’s becoming incapable of winning an away game. Even if he does string together a few wins he’s had his chance.
15.) 10 Jan 2025 12:32:21
Is it potless or progress? You need to make your mind up.
16.) 10 Jan 2025 12:54:08
There's no way someone said Dessers would get 30, I don't believe it, never happened. Surely not.
17.) 10 Jan 2025 12:56:49
Eyptor, See if you couldn't see any progress, fair enough but I see it like many others.
18.) 10 Jan 2025 13:09:57
Potless club. Are u aware how much we have spent in transfers compared to the rest outwith with the tims.
19.) 10 Jan 2025 13:27:58
You've just you're running out of patience and now you're saying you see progress? Are you for real here.
27 Dec 2024 10:19:26
Not posted much lately as I've not got anything really positive to say. Also was fed up reading negative comments aimed at certain posters. My take is we improved slightly over last few weeks but probably only papering over the cracks. I don't think sacking a manager would help right now. We must be patient and very hopeful. I think we have a few players who would rather be somewhere else and hopefully the find pastures new in January. Obviously we need a fit commanding centre back as a priority in January however I would say we probably need better in most areas. Too many players can't be relied upon to play every week let alone twice a week, balogun, sterling, yilmaz, etc etc . Surely we have a couple of youngsters who could step up and at least give some youthful energy and hopefully get a couple of good signings in January.
1.) 27 Dec 2024 14:05:08
Butland to blame for last night. He's been led to believe he can't be dropped despite him being no more than an average keeper who's hopeless when a shot is hit low to his left or right. His poor performances have cost as much as any other player. Time for him to be dropped.
25 Jul 2024 06:57:17
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!
12 Jan 2025 13:41:33
To be honest I don't think he fits the profile, reputedly 20k per week. We are looking to reduce wages so say he is a loan to buy and in the summer balogun is released this surely adds to wages? We are looking for relatively unheard of prospects that are commanding a lot less than 20k.
12 Jan 2025 08:02:17
I’ve never left before the final whistle. I’m a supporter! If people don’t want to it’s probably best they don’t show up at all.
12 Jan 2025 07:58:03
A loan deal? Nah ps said it would only be long term.
06 Jan 2025 12:06:35
Good info John, thanks for sharing. Personally would rather we just sold dowell and used any money to buy a cb. Not keen on porteous at all .
04 Jan 2025 22:15:59
Sws who holds the jersey right now? In my day it was the player playing well got to keep it? Players who don’t have it must earn it.
15 Jan 2025 09:44:38
Pleased for the boy.
13 Jan 2025 13:55:12
Well my take, yesterday at the goal we lost both proper and Nsiala were marking big guys as they are the only 2 players over 6foot who started for us yesterday. Hagi probably the tallest after that so that's how he goes with him, you can only go height for height if you have height. If it wasn't hagi marking it would have been raskin, Cerny, ridvan, jefte Danilo or something. We lack height, not the be all and end all but if we were a bit taller as a team I'm sure we would do better at the other end of set plays/ corners too.
12 Jan 2025 10:54:35
Always liked billy.
11 Jan 2025 15:45:15
What is long term? We normally buy with 4 years contract. So what would be the oldest we would bring in?
11 Jan 2025 11:38:39
Good article storm, I feel that pat stewart needs to address the fans ASAP. I would urge him not to sugar coat anything say it how it is please. The fans deserve this and will respect him for it! Perhaps the board who have done well steering us from predatory characters have made mistakes along the way, they are human. Pc contract is a strange one and the bold mick being given a free rein with a cheque book as scout, coach technical director or whatever Eli’s he was doing.
Ultimately it’s the boards job to raise funds, get investors etc.
