{Ed's Note - Anonymous Woolback has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool Fear a Collapse After Klopp's Departure

18 Apr 2026 09:46:25
When we were searching for a new manager before Martin, Souness suggested Frank Lampard. He's just got Coventry into the EPL. If only. Before you sing Rohl's praises, as of now he's won nothing. Maybe all our draws might have been wins?

18 Apr 2026 09:51:00
If my aunty had baws.

18 Apr 2026 09:55:39
Yip, he has won nothing but still deserves a lot of praise. From where we were with the squad we had to where we have the league in our own hands is phenomenal.

Whatever happens at end of season Rohl will have my utmost respect and praise.


With his own pre season in place, his own players and his style cemented next year will be exciting and hopefully successful.
Bring it on !

18 Apr 2026 10:13:32
I'm delighted with the job Danny Rohl has done as our head coach, and irrespective what happens in this league race, I'm looking forward to his signings and mini rebuild for next season. 👍 He absolutely deserves credit that he's even got us near fighting for this league title, and he's a good head coach who'll improve us again next year.

👌 I totally believe if we win the league this season I can see a period of dominance domestically for us going forward. 👍 🇬🇧

18 Apr 2026 10:42:50
What's my name. What has Lampard done in his managerial career to merit Rangers manager? I know we took a chance on Stevie G, but he had the player pull what Lampard doesn't.

I think Danny Rohl was perfect appointment as has shown he can turn a struggling club around, but w ways too look at it. Proof in the pudding with Rohl or who knows with Lampard.

18 Apr 2026 11:44:08
Rangers were refused permission to talk to Lampard. He did not bat an eyelid.

18 Apr 2026 11:44:23
Danny Rohl has done an amazing job since joining Rangers, as who would have thought we would be in this league position when he was appointed.
Regardless of the outcome, it will be good to have a bit of continuity going into next season with the same manager and coaching team at the helm.

18 Apr 2026 11:52:58
What's the bigger achievement?

Lampard getting Coventry promoted or Danny Rohl shaking the tag 'project manager'?

There's only one winner if you ask me.

18 Apr 2026 11:58:17
Mark Robins reached the playoff final.
Coventry getting promoted, whilst a great achievement, was not an insurmountable challenge.

Danny Rohl winning the league this season would eclipse that achievement in my opinion.

We were buried under Martin, there was a more positive atmosphere in a morgue under Martin.

The very fact we are discussing potentially winning the league shows how good a job Danny has done.

18 Apr 2026 12:44:02
The thing is this.

If Lampard got the job in the summer, the league would already be won.

18 Apr 2026 12:49:07
Stevie, if Danny Rohl got the job in the summer, the league would already be won.

Danny was Cavanagh's choice in summer, and again after Martin.

If Andrew has taken a hands on approach in summer, the league would be won.

18 Apr 2026 12:58:27
I think Lampard would have been the ideal replacement for Gerrard to keep the momentum going at that time. The board, however, didn't have the finances to invest in that progress, so they went elsewhere. At the time Clement got the job, Lampard's reputation was at a low point after being sacked by Everton and his temporary stint back at Chelsea, so there was a definite groundswell of supporters who didn't rate him.

Fair play to him, he has taken a step back to move his career forward and I think he is unlikely to ever be Rangers manager.

18 Apr 2026 13:40:56
I think Lampard would have been a great choice, but am equally delighted with Rohl. The future is bright.

18 Apr 2026 14:08:54
Aphe, Thata also true, both are very good managers and I'd be very happy if we got Lampard in the future.

18 Apr 2026 14:09:38
I really think Frank would have done very well.

17 Apr 2026 23:19:41
Think reading through today's post, people need to take breaks from social media. Whether that's a day, a week, a month or even longer. Not good to be constantly on it.

18 Apr 2026 00:01:21
Orange, I used to give my kids a row for being on their phones constantly, even at meals and watching a movie at night together.

Now I do it.

Social media companies hire psychologists to help their apps target the same pleasure receptors in the brain as drugs do.

Also reading newspapers can Blume etc, calculators, alarm clocks, cameras and so on means we're in our phones at every cut n turn, mate, so end up nipping onto Instagram or this site, personally I don't use Facebook but most do.



You're right though, phone addiction is an epidemic level problem these days.

18 Apr 2026 00:11:12
100 percent Stevie, it is dire with how addicted everyone is. I was also talking about people end up having a bad day in general from it, like arguing constantly on places like here.

18 Apr 2026 00:22:43
Yeah mate, or maybe having a bad n real life n come on here n act the goat.

I've done it too, mate.

When I've had a drink I dread coming on the next day in case I've made an arse of myself hahah.

18 Apr 2026 00:42:13
Easy solution. Get a phone that is what they were made for. Speaking to people one to one. The internet was created with good intentions but is now used badly. What would some do without them.

18 Apr 2026 03:12:51
Bill, that's what I had when I used to give the kids a row for being the n it at times that there wasn't any need to be, then if I look up and the missus at the time was doing the same.

What u meant to say to kids when adults are doing the same.

I ended up joining the iPhone club and now I'm just as bad.

18 Apr 2026 05:45:27
Using a phone is a bit like VAR, it's not the phone, it's the idiots using it. 😇

18 Apr 2026 06:51:27
Give yourself a wee break then Fork. 😉😁

18 Apr 2026 07:03:27
I feel sorry for the younger generations, as they have now been brought up to think it's completely normal for a wee handheld device to lead you through life. It's nuts, the amount of folk whose phone spends most of its life in its owners' hands, getting used to scrolling through mountains of meaningless s***.
I must be in a very low percentage of the population who only use their phone to talk with people. I have never used Facebook, Twitter, etc., and the only social media that I use is on here.

It's sad times when you go to the pub, and you have adults sitting at the bar with their phones in their faces watching TikTok videos, in search of the best video so that they can show you it like they have accomplished something.
Not for me, thankfully, as there are far more better options widely available for frying your brain, rather than a phone.

18 Apr 2026 07:47:20
I have noticed that many older peeps are on social media constantly, who I thought would have been immune to it. Changed days, good to leave the phone on the sideboard and get out there and be free!

18 Apr 2026 07:54:00
That's remembered, Star. 😉🤣🤣👍

18 Apr 2026 07:56:09
Three Cheers, u probably watch TV a lot though? Most people do.

Kids now just watch it all on the phone, the entertainment content they look for isn't on the telly.

Even books now are read on handheld devices.

Schools are loaning kids iPad type devices to do homework.

The people running these massive corporations want kids hooked on computers. They want them all reliant on AI for every little thing they can possibly think of.

It won't be long now til GP's are replaced with AI versions. The world is only going to get more and more technology driven and ran as we go forward, so it's essential for people to know how to use and constantly have these devices.



Eventually it'll be a chip in the brain as Musk has developed with Neuralink, and probably the phone will be in your arm or hand or something like that.
We are literally merging computers and humans now. It's not online tinfoil hat stuff I'm speaking, it's literally happening before our eyes, and cause we see it happening slowly over time it's just normal and not the big shocking realisation it should be.

18 Apr 2026 08:02:09
Fork, only having a laugh, mate.

I don't use Facebook or just about any social network, except on here.

18 Apr 2026 08:11:14
I know bud. 😉👍

18 Apr 2026 08:28:04
The only time that I watch TV, Stevie, is if there is a sporting event that interests me being broadcast. I learned a long time ago that the mainstream media broadcasting companies are run by the government and are there to brainwash you with whatever the government wants placed inside your head and 100% best avoided.

Things like the 6, 9 or 10 o'clock news etc would be better named the half an hour of complete lies and scare mongering shows.
If I'm in the house and in the mood for watching something, then my go to source of entertainment is YouTube.

18 Apr 2026 09:25:03
Social media is causing more problems than any good, especially in the younger generation. Some of the studies coming out now are frightening.

18 Apr 2026 10:03:25
Three Cheers, you're absolutely right, mate.

I like my apps rather than telly. Watch a lot of box sets.

Netflix, though, is really really bad for what u are describing. Absolutely off the scale with it, mate.

18 Apr 2026 10:17:22
Aye right cheers, what about the 10 minute Freeview after 12? 😉😄

18 Apr 2026 12:01:54
I agree, OT.

I always liked this forum as it didn't 'feel' like social media - which I have to use for my job and absolutely hate as it's toxic beyond belief, especially when posting about women or girls football.



You can clearly see that the pressure of the title run in is having an impact on here though, as there's more handbags here than the Barras.

17 Apr 2026 22:54:10
Hoping the info on Jens Hjerto Dahl is just agent talk but rumoured fee being quoted is £10m. Would assume that's a package with add ons included.

18 Apr 2026 00:03:22
True blue, I posted about him the other day asking Aphe about him. He suggested I go watch some videos.

I don't normally do that. I did for Rommens, and I done it the other day.



This boy is pure class btw. He looks like he could go to the absolute top.

I actually said he has to be worth £10m us easily.

If that's the price I'd happily pay it.

18 Apr 2026 06:28:23
Totally agree, Stevie G. 👍 Dahl looks a class act. 👌 Would be some coup if we could somehow get him. 😲

17 Apr 2026 22:37:30
Guys this site is imho the very best of what we are as fans of our great club. We can agree or disagree but we are bound by the passion of our club and over the coming months o may not post as much as at 52 i'm about to start treatment for lung cancer.

My prognosis is good but i'm expecting a tough time as hope when I do pop onto to see what's being said we treat each other with respect. Remember we are supporters of the best club in the world backed by the best fans in football.

17 Apr 2026 22:46:38

17 Apr 2026 23:20:33
Sorry to hear that, OWS. Wish you a speedy recovery, mate.

17 Apr 2026 23:29:36
Take care of yourself, OWS.

17 Apr 2026 23:30:28
Gutted to hear this OWS.

My thoughts are with you, my friend.

18 Apr 2026 00:13:06
Absolutely gutted to hear that OWS. Feel you've always been a good level headed poster. Would have been so easy to spill out with horrible news like that. Be strong, pal. You got this. Thinking of you and family. 💙

18 Apr 2026 01:04:59
So sorry that you're having to face this, OWS, but very glad to hear your prognosis is good and wishing you the very best through your treatment and recovery.

18 Apr 2026 02:03:57
Onewaltersmith, I am sad to see you have this demon, but am happy that you will beat it. God speed, my friend.

18 Apr 2026 05:30:55
All the very best OWS. 👍

18 Apr 2026 06:02:29
Sad reading that OWS, you take care, mate, and kick that horrible disease on the arse, all the best, mate.

18 Apr 2026 06:32:14
Wishing you all the very best with your treatment, OWS. 👍 Keep your chin up, pal, as you have the attitude to beat this. 🙏 Will most definitely be in my thoughts, and I'm sure you'll post back on here when you're ready. Take care, my friend. 🙏

18 Apr 2026 07:06:51
So sorry to hear that, OWS. Wishing u all the best.

Stay strong and you will win the fight - God bless. 🙏 👍

18 Apr 2026 07:14:36
Best wishes, OWS, and I look forward to seeing posts from you very soon.

18 Apr 2026 08:04:06
Jardine, u had the plumber in for your pipework yet. 😉

18 Apr 2026 08:21:45
No Surrender OWS. 🫡🇬🇧

18 Apr 2026 08:46:51
Best of luck to you, pal, all the very best.

18 Apr 2026 09:48:47
Stay positive, mate, a strong mind can achieve anything. Wishing you quick recovery.

18 Apr 2026 10:00:52
Ows - so sad to hear that but I know you'll fight it and beat it.

Just remember we're all behind you.

18 Apr 2026 10:05:37

My very best wishes to you and yours.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Mo Salah

18 Apr 2026 10:02:02
Why has someone photoshopped Salah's head on my body¿?? 😅

17 Apr 2026 17:28:47
Rangers had a bounce game yesterday (Dont know who against (any timmies tunned in - it was against the Brazilian national team) )
They won 10-0.
Chermiti x2 Milovski x2 Aasgaard x2 Gassa, Barjami, Olsen and an og.

17 Apr 2026 18:21:51
10-0 against any professional opposition would be a good achievement.

Hopefully the time away allows for players to build confidence and hit even better form for the final push.

17 Apr 2026 19:14:00
Would love nothing better than Olsen to ram our words right down our throats in last 5 games, myself included. C'mon, son, you've got it in you.

17 Apr 2026 19:30:57
Boy Blue, spoke to a few of the coaches about Olsen and they said they've never worked with a player lower in confidence and that he's really isolating himself from the squad.

It was pretty sad to hear and it doesn't sound like there's an easy fix. Hopefully he can work through whatever he's dealing with and come out the other side stronger.

17 Apr 2026 19:42:17
Yes, EHL, it is a serious confidence issue, but one I do believe can be rectified.

Danny Rohl seems to understand him and is offering that arm around the shoulder.

I do still believe he can be a very good player for Rangers.

He is a wonderful lad, and with the correct support mechanism, we can have an exceptional player at our club.

17 Apr 2026 20:00:25
What is causing him to be this way?

It's clearly a form of depression and one that we really need to watch and look after while he's here.

17 Apr 2026 20:18:16
Stevie, it's a symptom of being injured and having a shocking lack of support.

The atmosphere around Wolfsburg is not a conducive form recovery environment.

Like Cerny, he was deemed surplus after an injury and put on the proverbial scrapheap.

Danny Rohl man management style is one o feel will begin to transform Andreas fortunes, and hopefully this time away will benefit him.

17 Apr 2026 20:28:14
Personally I think he needs to maybe go home and reset. If he is depressed or up against it, maybe a team in his homeland can reinvigorate him. The Old Firm goldfish bowl is the worst place for a man in his position; it has broken many a good player.

17 Apr 2026 20:54:02
Aphe, we both know the lad is capable of some wonderful stuff, but with EHL saying he is isolating himself from the squad, I'm afraid that after he confessed football is just a job to him and he doesn't love football anymore, then the Wolfsburg treatment.

This, for me, no matter which way you cut it, is someone we can't and won't be taking a huge risk on, as we are talking a significant outlay on hoping that he gets the love for the game back.



Hearing a player isolating from the rest of the squad is really sad, and I hope, wherever he ends up, he can find whatever he is missing.

17 Apr 2026 21:05:58
That's actually quite sad to hear, EHL. I do hope he gets the help he needs. Mcmillist makes a good point that maybe the goldfish bowl of the Old Firm isn't where he should be right now. Would love nothing more than to see him get through this and become a legend for us, having dealt with depression my full adult life.

It won't be as easy as that. I honestly think the boy needs to go back to his family and get his head straight. Health is your wealth.

17 Apr 2026 21:12:03
BBJ, I will not continue to go over old discussions. You have your opinion which is entirely valid, I have my own position on the matter.

We will never agree, and, no matter what way you cut it, I will not change my way of thinking.

You use a misquote from an interview all the time.


The same misquote that caused an argument between me and my star.

He never once said football is just a job to him.

He confessed to being a "loner". Football is his job, but that doesn't change his personality.

17 Apr 2026 22:02:33
Aphe, I'm afraid it's a team game and you need to trust and get on with your team mates to be able to fully integrate. So I'm with BB4 in thinking that the goldfish bowl of Glasgow might not be the best place for him.



Ehl, do you think the board take the risk that he can come through the other side?

I really hope he can, as when he is the Brugge Olsen, we would have an outstanding player on our hands.

17 Apr 2026 22:36:00
Very sad if true. Personally I'd like another 6 month loan, but hopefully wherever Olsen goes to, he can fall in love again with the game and a place to call home. If indeed he is isolating himself from the squad, I hope Rangers see this and offer help.

Regardless of loan or permanent, he's currently our player and should be supporting him in every way possible.

17 Apr 2026 22:53:30
Why 6 months, Davie? Doesn't happen a lot either, that the 6 months loan deals are at start of season to winter.

17 Apr 2026 23:14:44
Hopefully the passion of the fans in this run in can lift him a bit and he can start to enjoy the game again.

17 Apr 2026 23:40:41
Would imagine a sport psychologist would be involved. 🤷🏼

17 Apr 2026 23:53:26
OrangeT, full pre season under his belt and settled, hopefully at new club he comes good is why I said 6 months. Does take time for players to settle, as we know.

18 Apr 2026 07:53:08
Hate to agree but here probably isn't the right place for him. From a personal point of view, I hope he can get through things and regain his joy and form. From a purely football point, it's not worth the gamble hoping he can get through his personal issues.

Far too many good players in their early 20s lose it and never get it back for whatever reason, and we simply can't afford that big a gamble. He'd become one of our most expensive players and be constantly under the microscope.

18 Apr 2026 11:44:28
I actually agree that he'd be best served in his own interests to return home for a full season and agreed that even if injured he remains at home.

Sounds like he needs his family around him.

17 Apr 2026 17:27:55
Well that's the Scottish premiership team of the year out and only manny Fernandez from Rangers in the team 🤔 TBH it's very hard to argue with the majority if not all the picks 🤔 What's everyone else thinking 🤔

17 Apr 2026 17:47:20
Can fully understand the selections. However, it's going to look stupid when we win the league. Hearts could drop to 3rd and Motherwell conceivably ending up 5th if they lose to Hibs on the last day of season!

17 Apr 2026 18:12:05
Dundee, I don't think it will look stupid, we've been a hard watch all season, mate, exception of 2 or 3 games. I'm not sure who else should be put forward, Butland, possibly? Tbh, I think it's daft to name it now before the 5 biggest games of the season.

Tells you how crazy a season it's been with 1 Rangers, 1 Celtic player in team of the year, don't think there could be many complaints from both sides of Old Firm.

17 Apr 2026 18:13:27
Think it's probably about right. When was the last time only 2 Old Firm players?

17 Apr 2026 19:10:54
Would rather nobody in it and we go on to win the league, the more they try and fight against us the better. NFG.

17 Apr 2026 19:17:16
I think it's good for a player like Big Manny to be in it. Give the boy huge confidence. Watching his we documentary, I think his family will be proud also. See where you're coming from though, TJBB. 💪

17 Apr 2026 20:37:12
I would argue with Ward and McGinn, I think this is a look at the wee team doing well, overkill. Butland has been as good as Ward this season. Ward has given away more goals passing out from the back than any keeper I have seen this season.

I can't argue with the rest of the team and in fact I'm a bit surprised Fernandez is even in it.

17 Apr 2026 22:56:36
Agree, Wsl. I too feel it is over the top. Yes, Motherwell have done well, but 5 players?

17 Apr 2026 23:01:06
Team of the season does not reflect reality.

18 Apr 2026 00:20:14
OrangeT, Motherwell's football was brilliant to watch for months, a good few times I watched them and was a little envious. They definitely played football this season, so wouldn't grudge them it tbh.

18 Apr 2026 08:09:35
Wsl, Motherwell had the best defensive record in Europe for a large part of the season, so can understand the choice of Ward over Butland, who has been good but also very questionable at times.
Aphelion, if it's not a reflection of reality, who should be in it? I'd be interested in your team. A number of posts have been who would make the team of the year or be player of the year, and only Manny and Butland really ever got mentioned for us.

Only Nygren has performed for Celtic. Hearts have topped the league most of the season, and Motherwell have had people talking about their football even outside Scotland most of the year, bringing attention to our game. How is that not reflected?
