Anyone think a loan for Billy Gilmour could be possible?

I seen he was with Nico Raskin the other day say Monday I think it was I seen it so could've been from Sunday night?

I think he's injured but when is he due to be fit again.

I'd love us to sign him for 6 months and I feel Napoli would support a loan for him as if he shows up well they can sell at a good profit back to epl.

17 Dec 2025 15:37:06
Personally I would love it. But I can't really see it happening.

17 Dec 2025 15:49:34
Don't think he's suited to Scottish football at all.

17 Dec 2025 13:05:10
Is Sundays game a must win or is a draw acceptable?. imo a draw is a good result given the players we have out.

17 Dec 2025 13:32:50
I'd take a point now. With this group and our current injuries/players out I'd take a draw now.

17 Dec 2025 13:41:50
A draw for now is very respectable. Would certainly take that.

17 Dec 2025 13:48:32
I wouldn't take a draw no way

We go into every domestic fixture to win it.

I fancy us to beat hearts to be perfectly honest. 2-1.

17 Dec 2025 14:11:00
If we want to have any chance of laying down a marker I'd say it's a must win, obviously loads of points left to play for but if we can win our next 4 fixtures It will give our club a real lift and put the seed of doubt in to Celtic and hearts.

17 Dec 2025 14:13:33
Always i expect a Rangers win and i fancy us to beat hearts 2-1 on sunday 👍🇬🇧 Whatever it ends up it ends up, but as a Rangers supporter of many years my expectation will always be for us to win.

17 Dec 2025 14:17:43
It's a game I will always want to win v those sour faces.

17 Dec 2025 14:25:31
Anyone who says take a draw is accepting being losers. We are Rangers. We need to catch Celtic and then hearts. Only a win will do. The mentality of accepting runners up or worse is part of the problem on the park. Let's not allow that to become who we are.

17 Dec 2025 14:37:17
Must win for me unless we score a last minute equalizer. A win puts us on a high going into the following 2 games that have so much importance. I would take a draw at the midden mind you in the new year old firm game.

17 Dec 2025 14:49:52
We ALL want to win but sometimes you've got to be realistic! We are where we are for a reason. It's got nothing to do with being a "loser" it's a marathon not a sprint. Better Rangers teams on form have lost at Tynecastle. Honestly ….

17 Dec 2025 15:04:50
I would never accept a draw, we play to win every game.

17 Dec 2025 15:50:54
We might have players who would accept a draw but no many fans who would. I'm thinking Motherwell should have battered Gorgie early in season when 3 up but somehow they got away with it, got m/well mates that were there who couldn't believe the collapse as it was looking like 6-0 to M/well after an hour.

17 Dec 2025 15:50:57
Play to win and that is a distinct possibility. Go for the draw and we're likely to lose in the dying seconds. Take the game to them. WATP.

17 Dec 2025 12:36:18
Congratulations on yuur new role Stig. 😜.

17 Dec 2025 12:58:49
Yip the norweigan stig inge bjornabye is hired on a consultancy role to work with Rohl until the end of the season 👍 Looks like a really good appointment.

17 Dec 2025 13:16:29
Thanks Kaiser
Didn't want to say mate until it broke 😅.

17 Dec 2025 14:15:10
What new role would that be Stig 😜.

17 Dec 2025 15:06:05
Never heard of him, tbh.

17 Dec 2025 15:13:42
Congratulations, Stig.
Keep us up to date with any news. 🤓.

17 Dec 2025 15:43:19
Boy Blue

I'm insulted sir!

🤣🤣🤣.

17 Dec 2025 15:51:46
Good, knowledge of that market a real plus.

17 Dec 2025 07:46:59
Slow and steady wins the race.

17 Dec 2025 12:11:30
Unless it's the 100metres haha.

17 Dec 2025 07:44:18
Ed can you confirm my sons statement that Danny Rohl has took more points than any other manager in the league since taking over mate?

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea sorry.}

17 Dec 2025 08:38:13
Hi Ed, can you answer my posted question. Can clubs do business behind the scenes before the window opens?

{Ed001's Note - yes deals can be agreed at any time, but the registration of a new signing can only be completed during a transfer window.}

17 Dec 2025 08:44:36
Yes mate, 20 from 24 points, nobody else has better since Rohl arrived BornRuffian.

17 Dec 2025 09:15:40
Thanks ed.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}

17 Dec 2025 09:55:07
Aberdeen have highest points over last 10 games.

17 Dec 2025 10:16:03
they said it on commentary on monday evening, will sound a lot better if that remains the case after we play hearts and Celtic hopefully with 6 points out of 6.

We had three draws in a row, braga, falkirk and dundee united which is probably still at the back of people's minds and probably felt like we were going backwards again but our league form has been pretty solid. 8 played, 15 goals scored, 4 conceded, 6 wins and 2 draws. Night and day from the first 8 under martin with 1 win, 1 loss, 6 draws, 8 goals scored and 9 goals conceded.

Need to start seeing good performances on a consistent basis.

17 Dec 2025 10:22:35
Correct, Paul.
Which makes the double header more difficult than it would have been.

17 Dec 2025 10:25:55
Maybe last 10 Paul, but Rohl's has only had 8 league games mate, not any club has picked up more the 20 points in his 8 games.

17 Dec 2025 10:52:33
mph also makes it harder game for them than it would have been had we not improved results.

17 Dec 2025 12:20:14
Love the confidence troops but although we are starting to make more chances we are not scoring anywhere near enough and yes we have had a few clean sheets in league but we still look very fragile at back, the next six games are huge but being honest we are still a long shot from a title, a think the next six games are a flip of a coin from victory to defeat.

17 Dec 2025 12:37:50
We have the exact same record as Aberdeen over the last 6 games, so they will be saying the same about us that the double header will be tougher than it would have been a few weeks ago. It will be interesting to see how they get on against the other mob on Saturday.

17 Dec 2025 14:02:54
Cheers for the info lads, my star i had a feeling you would know that one, heres one for you mate, you stated months ago, finish ahead of Celtic and we win the league, which i agreed with, just wondering if you still feel the same now the jungles have appointed nancy, i'm kind of on the fence on that one now, hearts look like winning more games then them for me at this minute in time.

17 Dec 2025 14:21:24
Still feeling the same BornRuffian, but did say before Hearts won't disappear like Aberdeen last season mate, we win against them 6 behind with a game in hand, we can't lose though, fancy our chances far more of beating Celtic on the 2nd now.

17 Dec 2025 07:39:31
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 16 - Quick Round Up

17 Dec 2025 00:32:31
On last nights game see a lot of Praise for Barron and Moore who were full of running great to see, but for me although he never played the full game Sterling was MOM, First game back and had a Goal line clearance and a lovely cross at the other end for the goal. He brings that aggressive defending that everyone likes to see.

17 Dec 2025 12:25:16
A fit Stirling would bring a lot more confidence in our defence, Barron and Moore first names on team sheet at moment, you know when players are on it when both are demanding the ball, hopefully a few more take note from the two youngsters.

16 Dec 2025 22:29:36
Tide is turning, we are slowly rising they are slowly sinking with all the problems we had. Just to keep the head down and keep moving forward and pray we get the recruitment right in January. We are definitely due a break.

17 Dec 2025 05:48:46
Bluey I've had too many false dawn's I'm not getting excited.

17 Dec 2025 06:41:56
I'd happily accept scrappy 1 nil victories in the games left in December. If we can keep the points gap beween us and the top 2 close, ie 3-6 points, going into January and strengthen then it could get interesting. Recruitment is key though in January imo.

17 Dec 2025 07:00:04
Not sure the tide is turning we would need to go on a winning streak with better performances for that, hope you're right but saw too many bad displays this season so far and still believe that a number of these players are not at the level needed.
That said I like Rohl and he is doing a good job considering what he has.
I will finish off with a positive and say if we could get maybe three players in to hit the ground running then I believe we can finish the season on a positive with the summer recruitment to come and a chance to get more players in and out to have a real impact next season.

They will look to strengthen in January also and Hearts are showing they have mental strength to be still at the top so we need to concentrate on us.

17 Dec 2025 12:44:40
Hearts have done really well but in between their two wins over Celtic they lost a game, drew a few and dropped plenty of points. they will drop points between now and the end of the season, we need to do some good business in January so that we can go on a run between now and the end of the season.

We need a goalscorer so that we can continue to be pragmatic but be able to nick a few goals and grind out wins. We can't refurb the whole side to play scintillating football in the next window we need too many key positions filled for that to happen.

16 Dec 2025 19:32:42
The thing that astounds me about our position in the league is played 16, lost 1.

All the draws under Martin. Just wow.

16 Dec 2025 20:49:47
I was talking about that today with someone at work, I said hearts had only lost one, then noticed we were the same.

16 Dec 2025 21:30:03
If we had kept Dessers he would probably have scored 10 goals by now and we would be top of the League.

16 Dec 2025 23:48:59
If we had kept Igamane we'd still be in the Europa League looking forward to the next round.

But we didn't do either, so we dust ourselves off, get up, and go forward!

17 Dec 2025 00:24:43
Was thinking about that today, If we had appointed Rohl at the start of the season where would we be, We're not far off now with one of the worst starts in the clubs history! If we had stuck by PC and Koppen we would undoubtedly be top and have recruited far better IMO those guys were working with one hand behind their back.

17 Dec 2025 04:30:15
Who would be creating those chances for Dessers? Because we barely have anyone creating chances for the strikers we have.

17 Dec 2025 08:00:49
picking up on a couple of points made:

R1 I agree if we stuck with a manager and played through bad spell and now gave him money I think we would be stronger and winning leagues.

it is our reactionary behaviour; now seeing posts about how we are going to win the league, only then when we lose a few we want rid of manager. just play every game as we go along. we will lose and draw some but the aim is to get stronger. It was getting rid of Clement and Koppen which set us back 2 seasons. there wouldn't have been Martin or Thelwell then.

Dessers created a lot of his own chances. we didn't create many more in previous seasons and ball was still punted forward which he had to control and lay off.

17 Dec 2025 12:53:25
Totally agree we should have kept Clement, sacking him only to replace him temporarily gained us nothing as we had no intention of giving Barry the job. It would have been interesting to see what Koppen and Clement would have done with the backing that the two imposters got from the Americans. I'm pretty sure some of the guys who left would have been encouraged to stay and added to, to improve the squad.

I'm still not sure we would have got into the CL but its possible because Clement was savvy in Europe but I sure we would have done much better in the Europa for the same reason, we have lost to 4 teams that last seasons Rangers team would have beaten. We would also have a much better points total in the league. Water under the bridge as they say, so its onwards with Danny and good luck to big Phil at Norwich.
