Looks like the cifuentes deal is off at aris as their new coach does not fancy him.
1.) 03 Jan 2025 12:50:44
Its mad how far he's fallen as a player, his stock was very high when we signed him.
2.) 03 Jan 2025 12:53:37
Bloody fantastic. Another waste of a wage. Koppen and PC are going to have a really hard time getting rid of deadwood even if they're on the cheap.
3.) 03 Jan 2025 13:08:58
he has been injured since start of December I think so he hasn't been playing because of that. remember they are trying to negotiate the fee down so it may be part of that ploy.
4.) 03 Jan 2025 13:19:10
We should bring him back and give him January to prove himself while also looking for his next move before end of window.
5.) 03 Jan 2025 13:19:44
Gersgirl, cifuentes is a good midfielder and just because he didn't settle into scottish football doesn't suggest he ain't ?.
6.) 03 Jan 2025 13:27:39
He might even be worth a second look to be honest. I didn’t think he was as bad as some made out.
7.) 03 Jan 2025 13:27:40
Hes a dud. Just glad didn't splash on him like we did dessers and lammers etc but deary me we really need to start recruiting a lot better. Really hope we can shift dessers this month.
8.) 03 Jan 2025 13:59:29
Lot were saying the same regarding Hagi.
9.) 03 Jan 2025 14:14:43
Aye in your opinion Paul86 ? Because he's not played well in our league doesn't make him a dud ? He's looked good in america, in greece and for his country? This is stupid/ crazy patter a player is a dud because they've not settled or played well in our league ?.
10.) 03 Jan 2025 14:30:02
I always thought Cifu had something. never given a proper chance i feel.
I'd give him another chance in the squad now.
He can't be worse that Dowell haha.
11.) 03 Jan 2025 14:33:09
I’d look at touting him to clubs in USA n a swap deal for someone.
12.) 03 Jan 2025 14:45:59
Cifuentes was awful please no.
13.) 03 Jan 2025 15:16:08
Cifu wasn’t the worst and most people can see a player in there as some have said maybe not suited to Scottish football.
14.) 03 Jan 2025 15:29:51
Did he fail to make the grade in Greece?
15.) 03 Jan 2025 15:01:53
Cifuentes is a very good footballer but he never showed in a Rangers jersey apart from the game against Betis away, man seemingly isn't mentally strong enough for our climate, sell him, top teams in Greece very interested in him, or like stevie said teams in mls would be very interested in him he was one of the best cm in that league, only problem will he go back.
16.) 03 Jan 2025 15:38:25
I'd be in no hurry to see Cifu return, but given how poor so many players looked under MB I wouldn't automatically write him off if he did.
17.) 03 Jan 2025 15:49:16
He was very slow, and didn’t like the weather here, so he’s not going to settle, cut your losses with him.
18.) 03 Jan 2025 15:50:38
Dont think cifu should ever be a weatherman.
19.) 03 Jan 2025 16:11:17
Never believed for a minute they'd pay the £4m.
20.) 03 Jan 2025 16:24:20
Cifuentes didn't adjust from Sunset Boulevard to Mosspark Boulevard. Maybe best to alert MLS clubs and spin him round again. Definitely a player in there but just not got the temperament to make it at Rangers in the wind and rain of Scotland.
21.) 03 Jan 2025 16:56:33
Maestro he wasn't slow, he wanted too much time on the ball in our league, which probably made him look slow ?.
22.) 03 Jan 2025 17:05:04
He wouldn't be the first player not to settle in a new country.
23.) 03 Jan 2025 17:18:25
Ecuador gets plenty of wet weather so that's no excuse.
24.) 03 Jan 2025 17:30:38
No difference it temperature catch? that was the reason not rain fall.
25.) 03 Jan 2025 17:34:33
Exactly mark.
26.) 03 Jan 2025 17:52:25
Sir walter failed in scotland, has been heavily slated for his country, failed in brazil and now out of favour in greece? Was good in MLS by all accounts tho. Beale did day he woukd take us to the next level after all.
27.) 03 Jan 2025 18:23:15
Beale from what we know it’s the weather and culture shock for him; I’d imagine he’d junk at the chance to go back to America mate.
28.) 03 Jan 2025 18:52:23
He wanted a crack in Europe Stevie, he could be satisfied that he never cut in Europe but that certainly wouldn't be me mate, i wouldn't be going back to the mls unless I'm putting it down to failure and that wouldn't be happening before trying again for another season or 2,when went in for him he really seemed like a positive man but him seemingly not mentally strong enough for our climate does it for me mate.
29.) 03 Jan 2025 19:35:07
Wouldn’t be me either mate. Was it not something to do with his missus though? did she not leave him And head home when she seen the weather?
Maybe try the Dutch league; I know he has skills. It’s finding a league that suits him so we can maximise our return.
A loan swap is a great idea.
30.) 03 Jan 2025 21:11:57
Valued around £8-10 million when in the mls still think we can get 3-4million for him to the right club.
31.) 03 Jan 2025 23:34:21
Paul out of curiosity mate, what rangers players do you like ?.
32.) 04 Jan 2025 00:45:50
Did they not sign a binding contract to purchase him? Wether or not the new manager wants him or not they have an obligation to purchase.
23 Aug 2024 13:27:21
Davies to Birmingham loan with option to buy.
1.) 23 Aug 2024 15:26:53
Wish it was "obligation" to buy ?.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 15:43:17
As long as Birmingham pay his wages or at least most of them it gives us some flexability.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 15:45:19
would explain why we made an offer on the CB that got rejected then. wish Davies well and hopefully can bring us in some funds for next summer, and another high earner off the books reported 27k per week.
4.) 23 Aug 2024 16:45:00
Better than nothing. So long as it means we can strengthen at CB. Think he's contracted to 2026, so good this works out for him and he gets a permanent move from it. I was disappointed to see us missing out on McKenna and Souttar, and think we need another first pick CB in.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 17:38:21
27 grand a week? good God there must have been several eejits getting to that result .
6.) 23 Aug 2024 18:38:39
You would think some English club would take him. Ex Liverpool defender, that wouldn't cost too much.
7.) 23 Aug 2024 18:43:17
I think that us needing to sell before we bring in is to do with wage structure and squad size rather than transfer fees.
8.) 23 Aug 2024 21:27:59
The guy must have been decent at Preston, maybe other things have caused his problems, family stuff etc, good luck to him seems a decent bloke.
9.) 23 Aug 2024 21:46:33
Mark44, from what I remember he didn't make the first team once mate.
10.) 24 Aug 2024 00:47:12
Hopefully he kicks on wish him the best with his loan move.
11.) 24 Aug 2024 06:38:31
Pretty sure his manager at Preston rated him as the best left sided CB in the championship before he went to Liverpool
Coincidentally the other mob were trying to sign him before Liverpool made there bid, due to injuries
Genuinely think he was probably at one time decent but being ripped to bits by wee Mo and Sadio etc probably dented his confidence, just like it did to Leon King.
12.) 24 Aug 2024 07:27:02
Mark44 - Ex Liverpool in name only - there was probably a reason why he never kicked a ball for them - Klopp didn't want him and was only there as a benchwarmer - then we pay top dollar and high wages - knee jerk Rangers board once more - hope he gets move south and we at least clear our feet.
{Ed001's Note - he got injured, that meant he missed his chance.}
13.) 24 Aug 2024 09:44:18
Mark44 an ex Liverpool player that didn't play a game for them not exactly great selling point
I said at the Time we vastly overpaid and was hounded here.
14.) 24 Aug 2024 10:02:11
Guys, you might be correct that he never played for Liverpool, but he was still classed good enough for them to sign him.
15.) 24 Aug 2024 10:32:55
Birmingham ain't skint so if we are subbing them in any way it's insane. Would have been better to see if they had someone to trade.
02 Jul 2024 23:19:30
AZ Alkmaar allegedly submitting bid of £2.5million for lammers, got to be more than that, surely?
1.) 03 Jul 2024 00:28:16
Take it and run.
2.) 03 Jul 2024 00:40:03
I would give him pre season to impress.
3.) 03 Jul 2024 07:17:35
Take it and save 3 million on salary costs over next three seasons. A no brainer. Add in a sell on.
4.) 03 Jul 2024 08:14:32
I would be hoping for that up front with add ons taking it to 4m.
5.) 03 Jul 2024 08:27:01
Agree John don’t want to get greedy with him and we get stuck with him.
6.) 03 Jul 2024 08:46:52
I'd want more than 2.5 million.
7.) 03 Jul 2024 09:38:30
He impressed last pre season and look how that worked out.
8.) 03 Jul 2024 09:39:23
Mark last season you said Rangers would not be able to sell Lammers or dessers, let’s not get greedy.
9.) 03 Jul 2024 09:40:03
Agree John/ Bellshill 3m and add ons would do, aswell as the wages saved. ?.
10.) 03 Jul 2024 09:42:41
Yeah, said before I think it's important we don't get greedy with Lammers. I like him, but he's never going to be our no9 and didn't fit in our team elsewhere. We need to move him on and in the circumstances where he's never going to make it at Rangers anything from £2.5 m up is good business for us.
Our fans mostly agree buying him at c£3.5m is/ was bad business for us, so we can't turn round and seriously think he's worth £5m on the market now.
11.) 03 Jul 2024 11:25:22
So we sell Lammers for 2.5m and we talk about selling our players for profit, the tims want 4m for oh a poor cf, we paid 3.5m for him covered most of his wages but sell for 2.5m 12 months later, probably cost us 4.5m including wages but lose 2m in twelve months is very good business, by the way i don't think we only receive 2.5m for Lammers, hopefully media bollocks again.
12.) 03 Jul 2024 11:26:49
One of the best cf in Holland since Christmas but we want to lose 2m on him, cool.
13.) 03 Jul 2024 12:23:15
2.5 up front with achievable add ons to potentially double it based on appearances/ goals would be an ideal scenario. Was quality second half of the season but we run the risk of it being a flash in the pan by not selling now. Always thought there was a player there but not one that we will see in Scotland.
14.) 03 Jul 2024 12:43:40
Usual panic mentality from some. Aye let’s keep selling for a loss and say it’s good biz! Selling at a loss IS NEVER GOOD BIZ.
Selling a player who has been less than a year with us and been very successful in the league where a club want him to play for less money is completely inept!
15.) 03 Jul 2024 13:27:37
If the team who want him have just sold a player for £18 million we should be at least asking for a fee that gives us our money back .
16.) 03 Jul 2024 14:43:35
John, I still think 2.5 is too low. you don't get much for that money nowadays.
29 Jun 2024 14:12:28
i see papers reporting Rrahmani to slavia prague for £2.5 million, strange considering we were allegedly quoted up to 7 million.
1.) 29 Jun 2024 14:57:24
Appreciate that we all have the blue tinted glasses on a lot of the time.
But if you were neutral - would you love to Prague or Glasgow? I would be heading to the home of Staropramen over the home of Tenants everyday.
From a footballing point of view the two leagues and clubs are pretty evenly matched. Although more chance of moving to a top 5 league playing in Prague I would say.
Maybe we can offer more on wages but I’m not sure?
2.) 29 jun 2024 14:58:27
nothing strange, nobody knows what actual figures have or have not been discussed, if it’s 2.5 then the 7 quoted on here was wrong that’s all.
3.) 29 Jun 2024 20:06:17
You start to wonder if all transfer plans have been pulled to pay for stadium debacle and we will got to free signings or minimum fees only.
4.) 30 jun 2024 13:33:19
i dont,
16 Jul 2023 17:49:12
anyone any info on why souness knocked the ambassador role.
1.) 16 Jul 2023 19:16:42
Maybe wants some time off he is in his 70s mate.
2.) 16 Jul 2023 19:19:13
He might want to wind down a bit at 70.
3.) 16 Jul 2023 19:24:52
He's 70 would you work at 70 if u didn't have to.
4.) 16 Jul 2023 19:25:06
Think Souness was looking for DOF not an Ambassador role, Other than that it’s a strange one.
5.) 16 Jul 2023 21:18:17
I’m 70 and would love to go and see our great team every other Saturday, a lovely meal a few drinks and meet the wonderful fans. I’m in heaven.
6.) 16 Jul 2023 22:01:16
Dof is ft role he only wanted pt and didn't think he could add anything to us according to reports.
7.) 16 Jul 2023 22:14:30
A want to stop working and chill now an I am only 34 ? he's been a very busy man over the years mayne it's time to spend it with his family.
8.) 16 jul 2023 22:36:14
didn't have the experience nor training for a dof position, and he is already am ambassador, even from england, anything else obviously does not suit him atm.

Rip, to the 39 year old female who passed away after becoming ill at ibrox yesterday, very sad indeed.
1.) 16 Jan 2025 17:16:15
Here here truebluesotrue ?My deepest condolences to the young woman's family and friends at this devastating, sad times for all ? Nobody should go to a football game and never return home, god bless ??.

5.) 16 Jan 2025 17:38:35
Absolutely. Would a mins applause be something we should do on Sunday?
6.) 16 Jan 2025 17:59:52
Very sad news indeed. God bless her family at this very sad time.
7.) 16 Jan 2025 18:29:00

Absolutely heartbreaking. Condolences to the family.
9.) 16 Jan 2025 23:10:50
I saw that today, yes, very sad indeed, my condolences to all her Family and Friends.
11 Jan 2025 14:07:58
whoopee we are getting a centre half in on this window don't know who, we are also having an inquest with external help don't know the cost of that either, but the good news is big phils job is safe for the time being, reading inbetween the lines it looks to me like a deflection tactic, at the end of the day you can guarantee this will drag on till the end of the season, to say i am disappointed is a bummer.
1.) 11 Jan 2025 14:44:00
Results away from home don’t improve, then he's away. That’s what I took from it. If we don’t beat the sheep. On Wednesday he could be out the door.
07 Jan 2025 11:27:10
Right lads does anyone else but me think that this january transfer market is going to stink for us this month, i don't hold out much hope as the names being mentioned so far don't make me happy, hope i am proved wrong.
1.) 07 Jan 2025 11:52:47
Jonny Evans would be a no brainer, Porteous I think would do well at Rangers, we need that aggression in the team and he's another Scot. I would be making enquiries about Nicky Cadden, that lad can put a cross onto a 2Bob Bit. However, I think we're either waiting on players leaving or PS is going to announce new investment. Fingers crossed. Lol.
2.) 07 Jan 2025 11:59:11
We're always linked with loads of players tbt, some are nothing links, happens every window bud.
3.) 07 Jan 2025 12:14:45
I think it will surprise many in the closing stages of the window.
4.) 07 Jan 2025 12:31:52
We just have to sign at least one centre half this month ?Top priority for me.
5.) 07 Jan 2025 12:50:11
If we’re after a solid no nonsense CB could do worse than Grant Hanley. 33, last 6m on contract and not regular at Norwich. At right price could be worth 18m deal or even 6m.
6.) 07 Jan 2025 12:59:45
We will get a defender in first then the rest will likely be after a flurry of leavers are gone. Nothing has changed I. That we have to move bodies out before we bring any in it’s that simple and that’s why PC job is so difficult at the moment and has been.
He can’t get fixing his team because of silly high wage contract some are on.
7.) 07 Jan 2025 13:08:09
did anyone miss the news we are trying to cut costs reduce wage bill and don't have the same money to spend anymore. gone are the days of marquee signings and exciting names. but maybe I have just dreamed all this.
8.) 07 Jan 2025 13:14:45
Hope your correct Asathor, but we don't seem to do much right these days.
9.) 07 Jan 2025 13:16:58
Like doig before him nicky cadden does have a fantastic final ball.
10.) 07 Jan 2025 13:33:06
Correct Angus some think we are shopping in the top bracket, no idea why tbh.
11.) 07 Jan 2025 14:13:32
cheers BB good that someone else can see this.
Re Evans why pay a wage to an older player when we can loan a younger one or give minutes to Nsiala. We have a 36yo already who can't play every game but can give experience to the young lads.
12.) 07 Jan 2025 14:59:48
Why waste a wage on Evans, league over, scottish cup unless it celtic we should have enough to cover, he will not be allowed man u game, so maybe 3 games europe. go with what we have unless it is permanent signing.
13.) 07 Jan 2025 15:38:12
ASA, when you say surprises do you think we will do more buisness than some expect?
14.) 07 Jan 2025 15:39:44
Asa- interested to see who we bring in near end of the transfer window?
Any names, feel free to share the info.
27 Dec 2024 18:10:50
Honest question here, does anyone on here think if clement is given money to spend in january he will be given time to see out this season, and do you think if he gets the money is he the right man to take us forward and make us a hard team to beat, personally i don't see it myself going on him so far, i look forward to replies.
1.) 27 Dec 2024 18:44:23
Everyone saying it's koppen gets the money to spend not clement koppen makes the signings clement manages players at his disposal.
2.) 27 Dec 2024 18:58:16
He's absolutely going to get to see out the season and next season as well. Apparently we're needing to reduce even more wages/ costs so no manager will risk their reputation walking into this.
3.) 27 Dec 2024 19:47:18
Imo he gets the season unless we get horsed at ibrox next week, I think he should get this season.
4.) 27 Dec 2024 20:27:32
I’d give him the season at least. We’ve been miles better the last 5 or 6 weeks and were robbed of a cup. Every rangers manager will get results like st Mirren when we have a packed fixture list and defensive injuries. We’ve no right to beat every team in the league, especially away, but I genuinely think the team has improved a lot since the first part of the season. Just my opinion.
5.) 27 Dec 2024 22:41:12
They will be given time and both will work out well for us. That's what I think.
6.) 28 Dec 2024 08:27:21
I agree Colonel. I think both will get the time to turn the process around and get us competing again. whether he gets one or not in January that will still be the case. if he doesn't get money in January it is because there isn't any and not because he isn't going to be kept. If that was the case then surely they would sack him and bring in the new manager and give him the cash.
20 Dec 2024 19:07:53
reading mike mulraneys take on the league cup final, i have come to the conclusion he is a bigger fud than maxwell, he says the var officals are hurting just as much as everyone else, what an absolute cretin.
1.) 20 Dec 2024 20:06:56
Mulraney is a complete cretin who is no fan of ours. The hatred he holds for us is palpable.

I honestly can't see much change in the officiating in these games with Celtic supporters on VAR. It's a bit like the inmates running the prison.
4.) 20 Dec 2024 22:03:39
Oustside the box, not a penalty, not a penalty they all screamed. I thought they had recorded the Celtic dug out not the VAR officials .

Listen again wsl, one of them says "penalty there" just after or close to "pull" and gets spoken over.

10 Jan 2025 19:13:46
Orange T i don't have to hope we get beat on sunday to give him any extra motivation for our fans to get on his back more, there's more of our fans want rid of him than want to keep him, so yes i hope they give him a right good torrid time, and on an end point i have never in my lifetime wanted or hoped we get beat or bet against the gers and never will, so your wee snide remark don't wash with me pal, if you don't like my post do what other posters would do and scroll on by.
