Rangers Banter

Morning all,feels strange on a Saturday having to wait til 8 for a game but this seems to be the new world.Must win for me we need to build a sense of momentum and we won't win the league if we can't capitalise on them dropping points.Derek doesn't need anyone telling him how to set up a team away from home but for me the 2 man midfield doesnt control games in these tight grounds.Id play Chuckwani in there and drop Minsu who looks lost when he doesn't have space to play.It's looking more likely that Gassama and young Finlay will feature as impact players and I expect that will be the case tonight,Would I take a scrappy 1 nil definitely.

Hypothetical post for some discussion.

If Chermiti was fit and in form, how would this alter everyone’s starting XI?

We’re settled just now with Naderi and Kelsy, but curious to gather everyone’s thoughts on how the team would look if Chermiti was back and firing.

For me, he needs to start but I’m not sure who gets sacrificed or if a couple of players from other positions would drop out to accommodate a different shape.

07 Nov 2026 05:10:40
Personally I think our forward player would be built around Chermiti so he starts for me. I'm honestly not sure we would have signed Kelsy if Chermiti was fit and staying.

07 Nov 2026 08:00:37
Totally agree with you Dado 👍If Chermiti hadn't been injured i don't think we would have signed Kevin kelsy, unless we sold Chermiti and for me Chermiti back to his fitness and best i feel would be our no.1 striker and it would then be a case of which other striker McInnes chooses to partner Chermiti 🤔🇬🇧.

07 Nov 2026 08:27:50
Is it the whole season Chermiti is out for or is there any chance of getting him back for the run in?

07 Nov 2026 08:57:20
I have a feeling that McInnes would start with Chermiti or Shankland and Naderi or Kelsy.

Chermiti and Shankland are both more natural at dropping deep. Naderi is more natural at running the channel and leading the press. Kelsy prefers to play on the last defender.

07 Nov 2026 09:01:42
Agree, a 100% fit Chermiti starts - and Kelsy probably drops to the bench.

One interesting thing to note though - Kelsy has a knack of scoring those easy chances which Chermiti tends to miss 🤔

One of the three strikers will leave in summer so don’t think the argument will come to fruition , can see big Kelsey getting better and bettter for us right enough

One of our company vans in the background!

07 Nov 2026 07:48:31
Thought that was Saint Martin at start 🫣.

06 Nov 2026 21:32:31
Just read there that our former Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty has signed for Preston North End until the end of the season after leaving Charlton Athletic, where he was club captain 🤔He was rated very highly coming through at Hamilton accies and it was regarded a coup for us when we signed him and he was delighted to sign for his boyhood club Rangers 😁It never quite worked out for greg at Rangers but i do remember a former Rangers player who played for Rangers at the same time as greg that you won't find a fitter player than him and his fitness and attitude was immense 👌🇬🇧 Another cracking prospect for whatever reason never worked the way we all thought it would have at his boyhood idols Rangers at the time ☹️.

07 Nov 2026 09:55:44
Loved wee Greg Doc. Wish we had more like him at the time with his attitude and desires and he was as fit as anything. Like you said it just didn’t work out but I always keep an eye on how he’s getting on.

Assuming our manager Derek McInnes continues to play his preferred two up front, who do we reckon will be given the nod in the majority of our games when all our strikers are fit again. 🤔 We'll then have Chermiti (£10million), Kelsy (£9million), Naderi (£4.75million), Miovski (around £3.2million) & Shankland for nothing. 🤔

I just can't see McInnes leaving a £10million striker and £9million striker on our bench. 🤔 So i wonder which two in the majority of our games McInnes will go for. 🤔 What's all our thoughts on this guys, which two plays up front in the majority of our games when all our strikers are fit and available 🤔🇬🇧.

06 Nov 2026 19:17:27
He should play with the team that is best suited to win the match, it is a squad game and all our forwards offer something different.

06 Nov 2026 19:29:15
He is the manager and will pick who he feels is better suited to each game.

06 Nov 2026 20:05:56
The jerseys are Naderi's and Kelsey's to keep. They also link well.

DM will pick the strikers that score.

06 Nov 2026 20:07:44
You don't drop strikers who are scoring goals just to fit someone else in because they cost £10 million.
Chermiti has to earn his place back in the side.
Otherwise you would drop Sterling for McCrorie.
Neil or Raskin for Chukwuani.
Etc.

06 Nov 2026 20:44:23
So who would your two be MPH 🤔.

06 Nov 2026 20:52:18
Lol, I'd drop Neil for Chukwuani in a heart beat MPH.

06 Nov 2026 21:21:08
By time Chermiti fit Miovski will ne away before next season.

06 Nov 2026 21:33:56
John which two would you prefer for Rangers up front if McInnes insists with his preferred system 🤔.

06 Nov 2026 22:09:42
Chermiti and whoever he decides. missing Chermiti big style just now.

06 Nov 2026 22:23:37
I would also EHL, and SWS my two would be reduced to one.

07 Nov 2026 08:21:47
It will be horses for courses, SWS.
Naderi and A. N. Other when 2 up top.
And probably Kelsy or Chermiti if we go one up top in certain games.
Right now, Naderi and Kelsy are better goalscorers.


Kelsy - 5 in 8 games.
Naderi - 8 in 16 games.
Chermiti - 15 in 41 games.
But to be truthful, I'm just glad we finally have options up front instead of over relying on one player.
