Wow. What a night at the Norwich game.

Clement really has them playing some brilliant stuff.

26 Jan 2026 23:30:16
EHL glad you enjoyed it mate, remember you saying you're were going.

26 Jan 2026 23:47:15
Yeah it was a great night EHL Norwich are the team I follow down south and he is doing a wonderful job so far and is pulling us further away from the relegation zone.

27 Jan 2026 01:09:36
Real touch of class by Mr Clement going up to the stand to shake the hands of the family of the fan who passed away recently.

26 Jan 2026 22:23:31
Had a discussion today regarding the League and what winning it will bring in terms of Champions league. My work colleague (Tim) says that the winners, regardless of which team, will automatically qualify for League phase but I don't think they do. Can anyone clear this up?
Thanks in advance.

26 Jan 2026 23:31:17
Celtic can't Foolmonty, a decent chance Rangers can.

26 Jan 2026 23:45:51
It's only yous I believe but it depends on coefficient so it's not guarenteed as far as I'm aware👍.

27 Jan 2026 02:02:20
The foolmonty, Rangers fc are the only Scottish club that could get automatic qualification, there would need to be a lot of misfortunes happen ( unlikely) in other parts of Europe to prevent us automatic qualification ( like a nutreon bomb) landing in my front pocket,

27 Jan 2026 03:56:19
We must keep above Olympiacos in coefficient and win league to automatically qualify.

For us to stay above Olympiacos they must draw/lose against Ajax OR we must draw/win against Porto.

26 Jan 2026 22:19:02
Cant believe there hasn't been any talk in Big Djigas tackle in the 2nd half yesterday 🤣🤣.

26 Jan 2026 21:09:06
Goodness me a just seen ryan nederi injury history I certainly would be looking elsewhere this looks absolutely crazy when there is a lad at Motherwell the same age doing it in our own league selling one injury prone player to get in an other.

26 Jan 2026 21:26:27
Ryan Naderi :: 2025/2026 - Hansa Rostock - Player Profile. Ryan Naderi's recent injury history includes a significant 163-day muscle injury in the 2024/25 season, a torn muscle fiber (12 days) in 24/25, and a torn lateral ankle ligament (36 days) in 23/24. He has experienced multiple, recurring muscular issues that have caused him to miss significant playing time over the past few seasons.

26 Jan 2026 21:30:24
Danny Rohl has enough credit in the bank to buy this guy if he thinks he's the right guy.

Let's see how this unfolds and get behind him if he does sign.

Quality fully fit goal scoring centre forwards are not coming to Scotland.

26 Jan 2026 21:31:33
Think this is my bug bear. We have a lad on our doorstep who wouldn't need brought up to speed, is full of confidence and banging them in. just go get him. And the big German lad, I wouldn't worry about injuries, as young lads can have bad luck with injuries as their physicality is developing still ie bone structure etc. I think this could be a gem of a signing.


Im greedy. Go get both.

26 Jan 2026 21:33:47
Ryan just looked after you mentioning it, not promising mate, good few muscles injuries and tear injuries, ankle as well.

26 Jan 2026 21:43:26
Injured 19 games season last season, he's had muscle injuries the previous three seasons, would still only been 18/19, hopefully over them.

26 Jan 2026 22:06:28
He is a young boy that has had injuries related to growth.

Nothing new and certainly won't be the last.

Many forward players have had similar.

26 Jan 2026 22:15:16
On the flipside of the injuries just imagine how many goals he would have got if he had played.

Might be clutching at straws but I'm a glass half full kinda guy. 😂.

26 Jan 2026 22:18:29
Tawanda Maswanhise has had absolutely no injuries so I know who I'd be going for. But what do I know.

26 Jan 2026 22:40:04
I'd like to see the Motherwell player signed.

26 Jan 2026 22:50:48
Sounds ideal 🙈.

26 Jan 2026 23:05:50
We know you like to push the Scandi/European players Asa but the posters are right to be a little concerned. Remember Rommens has come in injured as well. Regardless of that would you choose Naderi over Maswanhise?

26 Jan 2026 23:20:34
You stop growing at 18.

{Ed001's Note - no you don't. Everyone grows at different rates. An easy example to use is Dennis Rodman, at 19 he was 5ft 7, then he had a growth spurt and ended up 6ft 7 by his 20th bday.}

26 Jan 2026 23:33:50
That's why i said 18/19 Aphelion, hopefully over them.

27 Jan 2026 00:00:02
Far behind it from me to contradict you Ed but I think he was kinda close to 5'11" at 19 and jumped up to 6'7 by 21, still a hell of a spurt and your point is still valid. Maybe Fernandez will be 8ft next season🤣.

27 Jan 2026 01:39:08
Danilo didn't have any injuries until he came to us and now look. I agree though, wouldn't be touching a player that has that injury record with our luck.

26 Jan 2026 20:06:15
Just seen how players appreciated Danilo at the end of the game their, with rumours I would suspect he is indeed leaving. Bit risky Rohl putting him on but what a goal to say goodbye if he does leave.

26 Jan 2026 21:15:35
He's going to Pathos £2m.

26 Jan 2026 16:39:47
Terrible rumours coming out of England.

Leicester City FC could be about to enter administration for the second time in just over 20 years.

I hope these rumours are not substantive.

26 Jan 2026 17:17:21
Seen they were linked with russel martin as well.

26 Jan 2026 17:17:30
Must be some wages alisha lehman is commanding these days.

26 Jan 2026 17:27:57
Not so good.

26 Jan 2026 18:15:17
That's what it is Aphelion, a rumour. Sacked their manager is all.

26 Jan 2026 18:37:21
Is it any wonder the amount of money that gets thrown about down south!

26 Jan 2026 18:58:53
old gary linekear earned well out of them.

26 Jan 2026 19:39:20
They would be better off in administration than taking Russel Martin.

26 Jan 2026 19:42:35
What's my name I am glad.

26 Jan 2026 19:49:42
Another fire sale (cf Sheffield Wednesday)?

(I still remember 2012 valentine day! )

26 Jan 2026 20:03:54
Hope that's not true, a terrible thing to happen to any club. I would think they would have a few players they could sell to raise cash if they have money problems.

26 Jan 2026 20:04:37
Lifer did you ever think Rangers would be in this position today? We're 100% back in town.

26 Jan 2026 20:04:59
dont know about admin but it is reported that they were having trouble meeting FSR rules from last time they were in EPL and will most probably mean they lose points. so if that takes them to League 1 and the Thais don't back it then it could happen.

Manager left as he wasn't winning, fans didn't like him and I suspect he didn't agree with owners on what as needed.

26 Jan 2026 20:22:14
I had heard that King power are in serious financial difficulties.

This would have a direct affect Leicester if true.

26 Jan 2026 20:45:19
Mystar you can't claim to be 100% back in town until yous challenge for titles and trophies year in year out, keeping pace with Celtic in January the odd season doesn't mean " your back"👍.

26 Jan 2026 20:57:02
Don't like to hear it happen but English teams have it coming.

26 Jan 2026 22:04:01
Bhoy88, do you think the owners are going anywhere soon like? they want to be successful at Rangers, only way of being successful first of all comes on the park first, you'll see over the next few seasons, you must be thinking the money for better quality will stop, sorry but that just won't happen.

26 Jan 2026 22:36:31
Mystar I never said I was thinking anything lol, I said you have to challenge year in year out to be back not just keeping pace with Celtic in January the odd season.
The owners can't buy better quality, it's the 70% of the clubs revenue and your manager that can contribute to buying better quality👍.

26 Jan 2026 22:53:33
Honestly have no sympathy even with our past trouble they continued to spend when they went down and could have sold players and went with youth but these teams are too greedy to do this.

26 Jan 2026 23:35:32
We're not near 70% though Bhoy88, Celtic fans must think we are.

26 Jan 2026 23:51:12
Nobody thinks anything or said you were near the 70% Mystar, I just pointed out the owners can't buy the better quality as it's 70% of the clubs revenue and the manager having an eye for talent that contributes to buying better quality. It has nothing to do with Celtic, their fans or anything green and white mate👍.

26 Jan 2026 16:24:47
Great interview Kyle Glasgow. Incredible maturity for 15.

He confirms he has signed a new contract and is desperate for his debut.

26 Jan 2026 16:58:44
Think this boy is a player. Bit too young to be thrown in the first team but next season we see how we get started and if doing well we give him game time at 16/17 by the time he's 19/20 he will have a full understanding of the demands of spfl plus being a Rangers fan will obviously aid his mentality and willingness tk battle for the badge.

26 Jan 2026 17:01:41
John, this could be the best signing of the window.

26 Jan 2026 17:26:42
I have a lot of hope for him John hopefully gets a chance to show what he can do over the next couple seasons.

26 Jan 2026 17:42:01
Is it the one at the tournament they were playing in? I seen that last night and he spoke very the boy.

26 Jan 2026 18:05:01
Was Rooney to young at 15 ?

26 Jan 2026 19:11:14
Yes storm. Alkass tournament, interview by two people in studio.

For me this lad needs minutes, he would be free to walk when he's 18 1/2,he needs to see the pathway. Same re Condy, Lawson and scally.

26 Jan 2026 19:18:10
Rooney was built like a man at 15, very robust some 15 year old like gilmour was need a bit more time to develop their body's to suit the physical nature of the game.

26 Jan 2026 19:23:25
He will get minutes this season.

26 Jan 2026 19:26:23
If he was to find a pathway into the first team it would be a encouragement for other young players to sign at 16.

26 Jan 2026 19:28:03
Please can we stop with the too young comments, look at Yamal, Rooney etc all made debuts at young ages and it helped them immensely. As soon as he is 16 he should be on the bench and be shown that the club is invested in his growth so that we can then get him to sign another deal and eventually sell when his value peaks.

No point in doing anything else but this with our best talents since the SFA are content with stunting youth development.

26 Jan 2026 20:02:23
Scottish cup you have to be 16 a think or he might of played last week.

26 Jan 2026 20:31:48
I'm quite intrigued by our handling of Glasgow, think it marks a significant change in direction for our academy - one that I'm not entirely sure I agree with.

26 Jan 2026 20:40:45
That's the one I seen John.

26 Jan 2026 20:57:31
I don't understand how Arsenal can play a 15 year old in the champions league and we can't play Scotland in the Europa.

26 Jan 2026 21:24:23
We will destroy him.

26 Jan 2026 21:39:27
EHL - do you suspect we are paying over the odds for youth players?
Assume this is the only way that keeping a well rated academy player could be seen as a negative.

26 Jan 2026 22:55:27
Can he sign a contract at 15 in Scotland? Do they not have to be 16?

26 Jan 2026 16:06:05
Looking at the league fixtures. Up to 21st of March we play hearts, hibs, Celtic and Aberdeen amongst others. Then the split. So we have 2 games v Celtic and hearts. Winning is definitely in our own hands.

Hearts showed resistance v Celtic coming back twice for the draw. Don't count them out even tho their top. Most exciting title race and most exciting times at Rangers for years 🔴⚪️🔵.

26 Jan 2026 16:56:16
Agreed Davie. nice post.

26 Jan 2026 17:01:37
We have the tougher figures coming up next few weeks but your right it is in our hands I fully believe Hearts won't be able to sustain a title run. Question is can Rangers? Certainly been a while.

26 Jan 2026 17:18:37
I predict our home games in the split will be Motherwell and Falkirk.

26 Jan 2026 17:49:53
The way the top six is just now we'll be at home against Hibs and Motherwell and will be away to celtic, Hearts and Falkirk 🤔.

26 Jan 2026 18:24:46
Definitely away to Hearts Celtic.

26 Jan 2026 19:00:21
paul practically guaranteed.

26 Jan 2026 19:13:58
Paul the rules already determine the fixtures and at present r as Walter states.

26 Jan 2026 19:26:24
I don't see Hearts fading now. Yesterday was a massive statement with 2 of their best players missing. They deserved the 3 points. It's all about US beating them in games directly against them. Hopefully that lot across the road can take points off them as I fancy us against them.

26 Jan 2026 22:57:44
Resilience yes they did just can't see them making it to end of season with gers Hibs Celtic Motherwell all able to take points off them us and celtic.
