Rangers banter 10

05 Jul 2026 20:37:09
Are we in for 2 of the Partizan Belgrade players

Vanja dragojevic & Ognjen Ugrešić

Says online we have bid for both of them?

Glasgow Rangers have submitted a formal written offer of €4.5 million in guaranteed upfront cash for Ognjen Ugrešić, a 19-year-old Serbian-Hungarian central midfielder. Rangers are seeking a swift completion, aware that Partizan Belgrade requires funds ahead of UEFA monitoring deadlines and their Conference League qualifiers. However, Partizan considers the bid insufficient for their vice-captain and is seeking a fee closer to €5.5 million, in addition to a significant future sell-on clause. It is reported that the player's €15 million release clause gives the Serbian club leverage in the negotiations. Ugrešić joined Partizan in January 2025 and is under contract until 2030. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €10.00m. The Serbia U21 international, with 4 caps, scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists in 48 domestic league appearances last season. Several other clubs have been linked with the midfielder, including Bologna and Sassuolo.

Big clubs are after this boy Ferguson, club Bologna being one of them. If we could get him, it would be some signing.

06 Jul 2026 06:30:52
Rfc, both Dragojevic and Ugresic are supposed to be superb young midfielders, my friend. 🤔 I think there's much more clubs chasing Ugresic than Dragojevic, but someone posted yesterday, when I asked which one was regarded the better of the two, that Dragojevic would fit in better with us. 🤔

05 Jul 2026 20:20:14
Wouldn't it be lovely if the Vikings overcame the Brazilians?

05 Jul 2026 20:26:37
I'd like them to Gazza, can't stand that Vinicius fella.

05 Jul 2026 20:39:12
Cunha score anytime, Berg carded. 17/1.
Couldn't back Brazil or Norway for a win, close call.

05 Jul 2026 20:43:52
Hate Vini and hate Neymar.

Really don't like Yamal either though.

Hopefully Norway can do it tonight.

05 Jul 2026 20:52:36
Would not be in the least bit surprised if Norway beat Brazil, as this game could go either way, a very tight game imo. 🤔

05 Jul 2026 21:02:52
I noticed a Mr Dallas on VAR duty at the Brazil game. Is that our Dallas?

05 Jul 2026 21:22:24
I put money on Brazil months ago to win WC, so I'm going with them. But kinda want Norway to win tbh.

05 Jul 2026 21:44:42
Not Vini's biggest fan, but what a player he is, absolutely explosive, brilliant finisher. What's not to like about young Yamal Stevieg2? Maybe we'd all change our minds if these guys were playing for us, eh guys?

05 Jul 2026 21:47:21
I have to say, I think this World Cup has been rotten. Maybe I've missed the best games, but most of what I've seen has been so boring.

05 Jul 2026 21:57:57
No, there are no Scottish officials at the World Cup despite there being 170 officials in total.

05 Jul 2026 22:03:35
How can anyone support Norway, after what they did in our country, pillaging hairy bams.
Mon Brazil, they invented Pele.

05 Jul 2026 22:32:43
I think he's a great player, Bb4 / Fork, very smart with the ball at his feet and that pace is crazy. I am sitting patiently waiting for a goal or assist. 😁😁

05 Jul 2026 19:20:22
Just in regards to some opinions of loans aka Moore. Andrew cavanagh can we instantly stop all Rangers youngsters going out on loan to other clubs to help their development and possibly make their loan club better. In regards to loan players into our club that may improve our squad regardless if they make our squad better.

Send them back to the parent club as presumingly theirs no point in some opinions of making other clubs benefit from loan players # tag Rangers end all loan agreements in and out.

05 Jul 2026 19:52:15
The loan fee they want for Moore could buy a player, and to be honest, it's not worth it. He will be a gd player, no doubt, but not at the 2 or 3 million fee that's been stated on here. For me, he done OK, that's about it. He has a lot to learn.

05 Jul 2026 19:57:23
Curtis went on loan then ended up playing in the WC!

So absolute nonsense!

05 Jul 2026 20:29:55
Exactly yer maw. Some think it's ok for our players to go out on loan, and same posters state it's not worth developing other teams' players. Bit ironic lol.

05 Jul 2026 20:38:19
All I'll say to that, Davie, is do you want to be a development club like Alloa or do you want to win titles and be a big club?

05 Jul 2026 20:53:31
That's clearly Wishy, but if the loan players come into any club that improve the current squad, surely it's a no trainer for the club.

05 Jul 2026 21:13:21
Agree, and if there is a loan like a Sima or Cerny that can definitely improve us, then do it. However, I think Moore is still very inconsistent, and we could actually buy someone for the loan fee we would be paying.

05 Jul 2026 21:18:23
So you make a whole post to have a go at people for having opinions, and because they don't agree with you that MM should be loaned back in. Get a grip, Davie.

I would love MM back, but only a permanent transfer, as the amount we will have paid on both loans and wages, we could have bought our own LW that would be ours.

So I guess that means stop all loans. Seriously wonder what goes through folks' heads on here at times.

05 Jul 2026 21:21:53
If Moore was to come in n help us win the title, the same folk would all then be going how great loan moves are. N how nominal the loan fee is.

05 Jul 2026 21:43:46
PSV & Dortmund want Moore.

05 Jul 2026 22:15:52
Curtis going on loan to Killie then making the Scotland squad, did Curtis improve that much?
I mean, really, the Scotland squad it's hardly unlikely Real Madrid are going to come looking.

05 Jul 2026 22:26:20
Teddy, Curtis is only 19 years old, clearly game time got him into the Scotland squad.

05 Jul 2026 17:33:04
If we sell Chermiti i'd go and gwt Robbie Ure, I see Lyon and hoffenhiem are both aftet him.

11 in 11 for a pretty much minnow team. 9 clear at top of league

Front option of Naderi shanks and Ure is fair enough for me

05 Jul 2026 18:21:19
For me, I would go with Ross Stewart on a free to replace Chermiti that would allow Naderi to be the main striker alongside Shankland with Ross Stewart as back up to both.

05 Jul 2026 18:32:09
McBurnie, anno just being silly or am I? 🤔

05 Jul 2026 18:38:59
Fork, I heard one of the doors at Ibrox was a bit stiff, and with the price of decent joiners and McBurnie's style he was the cheaper option to open it every week. 🙈 No real skill but batters everything around.

05 Jul 2026 18:43:37
Got to keep Chermiti unless great offer, we will be gambling bringing in someone to replace him.

05 Jul 2026 18:44:26
He'd do that no doubt. 😉👍

05 Jul 2026 18:54:37
Stewart's injury issues would be an issue. Good player, but just can't go any decent spell without being on the treatment table.

05 Jul 2026 18:56:15
Ross Stewart is a no injury prone so pointless.

05 Jul 2026 19:14:09
A front 3 of Naderi, Shankland and Ross Stewart aren't winning us anything in Scotland, let alone Europe.

05 Jul 2026 19:14:51
Definitely not Ross Stewart. Not sure what level ure is at or playing amongst, but fair play to him, he's doing great. I know he's from a great family and is well grounded and a really good professional.

05 Jul 2026 19:35:28
Kasper Hogh for 10 mill.

05 Jul 2026 19:41:13
Hasn't Kasper been mince anytime he's left Norway?

05 Jul 2026 19:46:45
Water pan, I'd be all over that for sure. Absolutely mate.

If we got him for £10m, I'd still go for Ure and ask if he came would he be happy going out on laim to Championship for a year before coming back to challenge.

05 Jul 2026 20:32:16
In my opinion, wouldn't go for any of them but that's just me.

05 Jul 2026 21:06:02
We could always get them on loan. 😉 😇 🤣

05 Jul 2026 21:19:43
Wouldn't be a bad 3rd or 4th choice, Stevie.

Fork, maybe we should stop all transfers now. :p

05 Jul 2026 21:32:28
You got spare couple of million, bbj? 😳

05 Jul 2026 21:55:27
A do mate, tucked in the old sock lol.

05 Jul 2026 23:00:22
BBJ, I've only got my schlong tucked in my sock.

05 Jul 2026 23:07:37
Kip, we would be better with Rod Stewart, surely.

06 Jul 2026 01:11:37
Athole, you should be wearing waist high socks, bud, bad for circulation lol.

05 Jul 2026 14:08:11
Been along time since I have been on to post as I have had a few health issues with tia's and waiting for a hip replacement but look in every now and again to see the rumours.

Looking forward to this season under Dm and hopefully some trophies to show at the end of it.
Last game I was at was v Dundee United and you could see the nervousness in the players and play that day trying to push on and win the title, hopefully we have learned from last season and under DM how his season finished we can go that one step further.
On the player front seeing a lot of possible departures does make me a little nervous but if we get big money for them hopefully we can replace with quality new players, thoughts fellow bears.

05 Jul 2026 15:33:24
Hope everything works out for you, bigak, good luck, pal. Yeah, hopefully we see our team play with freedom, instead of the nervousness you speak of, as seen that myself last few seasons.

05 Jul 2026 16:02:56
Very sorry to hear that, Bigak, and hope your hip replacement goes well, pal. 🙏 Hope you're now on the road to recovery with all your other health issues, and wish all the best of health going forward, mate.

🙏 Hope we're all enjoying our team playing this season with our new manager now in place. 🙏 Enjoy watching the Rangers and take care, my friend. 👍

05 Jul 2026 17:28:36
Best of luck mate.

05 Jul 2026 17:36:26
I hope everything goes well for you.

05 Jul 2026 17:37:28
Welcome back pal. Hope you're in good fettle.

05 Jul 2026 17:57:42
You take care of you, bigak, plenty on here to worry about the fitba, best of health mate. 👍

05 Jul 2026 13:38:05
Question for MyStar, who do you think would best compliment Dan Neil in midfield for us?

05 Jul 2026 14:24:21
Lewis Ferguson.

05 Jul 2026 14:27:10
😂😂😂😂😂.

05 Jul 2026 14:42:15
Blue89, many, he can play any position in the middle of the park, mate.

05 Jul 2026 15:56:50
Depends on our formation. Dan Neil I think is better in a 6, but does like to take his man on and burst forward sometimes with great passing range. Be interesting to see how DM sets up his line up and midfield.

05 Jul 2026 16:50:47
I think it'll mainly be a 442, Davie. It looks like that in the training videos that have been posted. DM likes old fashioned wingers as well.

05 Jul 2026 17:19:12
With that being said, Blue, then hoping Dan in a 6 with a cam in front of him.

05 Jul 2026 18:40:38
I read when he was first suggested that he is better in a box to box role. The articles I read said whilst he can play 6, he was 'average' as that and there were better. He will get more game time playing further forward as we have 3000 DMs on our books now or being linked with. 😉

05 Jul 2026 19:46:21
Angus, he was box to box, but he got far better playing as a six over a couple of years.

05 Jul 2026 19:54:46
Dan Neil has been signed as a 6.

05 Jul 2026 20:11:05
Stevie, sign someone like Dahl, I think Niel will be an 8, mate, but very capable of being our 6.

05 Jul 2026 20:46:37
Beale big Dahl is absolutely an attack-minded 8, bro.

As Johns said, he played on the left of a 3 in mf and is very much all over the park.

I liken him to Yaya Toure in style.

Very skilful player, great passer, and scores some outstanding goals, mate.

Not a 6 for me. However, I know it has been said that online at times, so I know why u would think that, mate.

05 Jul 2026 20:59:44
Never seen him, Stevie, just thought he was a number 6, Niel is best box to box, but have learned his 6 role over the last couple of seasons, was the 6 in the promoted team.

05 Jul 2026 23:20:28
Beale, I'd urge u to go have a gander at him in YouTube clips, mate. Watch a few different ones, mate. I promise you'll be in awe of the lad, mate.

05 Jul 2026 12:54:40
First time I've posted but I've enjoyed being part of the group for years. If Barron wasn't injured last season and continued his vein of form he would have been a contender for our POTY imo.

05 Jul 2026 13:39:42
GS75 I honestly believe there's a player in Barron, and would keep him.

05 Jul 2026 14:29:27
I took rate Baron, ticks a lot of boxes, good honest pro, strong on the challenge, Scottish, will run all day, does a lot of dirty work covering ground. Unless it's daft money, I think it would be foolish to sell, especially after trying to target Scots.

I feel now he was starting to settle before his injury, was just hitting right good form in my opinion.

05 Jul 2026 14:30:54
Decent squad player but not got enough to be consistent starter.
Work hard so appears to be doing a lot, but never really makes a great difference.

05 Jul 2026 16:26:52
GS75, yup, I agree.

05 Jul 2026 16:28:01
Before he was injured, he was head and shoulders our best player last season. He was brilliant. Can't say the same about anyone else.

05 Jul 2026 16:39:52
Welcome gs, good to have you on board, mate. I agree, he definitely could have been, having said that, it wasn't exactly a high ceiling for poty, considering we finished 3rd.

05 Jul 2026 17:30:34
Before his injury, we were rank rotten as a team, and it was Butland, at that point, that was a player of the year contender. He kept us in so many games, first half of season. Barron ran about a lot, that was it. 👌 I needed a pick me up today, and that about Barron gave me a right laugh.

05 Jul 2026 17:31:13
Forgot to add, just shows you how low the bar was last season that some thought he was brilliant. 😂

05 Jul 2026 17:36:22
To be fair, Storm, 3/4 games at start of 2026 he was really good, we played with him, Raskin and Dio, and dominated games. However, I wouldn't say 3/4 games constitutes being player of the year. 😂

05 Jul 2026 17:48:11
Storm, I'm beginning to think you don't rate Barron.

05 Jul 2026 17:58:59
No 💩 sherlock. 😉😄

05 Jul 2026 18:51:57
Was our best player until getting injured. Be interesting to see what midfielders we have and what our main formation will be come end of window.

05 Jul 2026 23:28:57
First post also, but agree with some of the above posts about Barron. He was head and shoulders above everyone before his injury. Definitely think he can be a big player for us but if he moves we should command a decent fee for him.
