Rangers Banter 3

Foot result today, hope you are well Angus. It's the result we all wanted and you more than anything.

15 Feb 2026 22:09:01
Flb, fine, thanks for asking. That's the result we needed, but more importantly, that performance was massive for the confidence. The atmosphere was top tier too - the whole place stayed right behind the team even when we went 1-0 and 2-1 down. We need that every week.

Buzzing for Chermiti. He finally added goals to his work rate, and it shows that if he actually gets some support up top, he's exactly the player we hoped he'd be.

You could see his confidence grow and the team spirit around him.
Still think Celtic and Hearts are the ones to beat right now, and there's definitely more drama to come in this race.

Also, maybe some of our fans need to realise they aren't managers, and stop acting like they know better when it comes to the starting XI. Trust the manager. He won't get it right every single time, but I've got full faith in him and the team.

15 Feb 2026 22:42:05
Rohl has a squad for a reason.
If we win, he made the correct decision.
If we lose, he made the wrong decision.
It is always easy to criticise in hindsight.
I never reacted on here after Motherwell, because, as gutted and disappointed as I was, I felt it was an overreaction.
Very happy tonight!
There are going to be ups and downs, though.

16 Feb 2026 08:34:19
CO2, it's also easy to praise hindsight.

My point being, would you have been saying the same if we lost to Hearts?

We will never know if Motherwell was the right or wrong decision, just like Porto/Hibs.
Personally, I still think the manager was wrong and could have picked up more points vs Hibs and Motherwell if he had not been looking ahead and had just gone game by game, as he preached all season.



It was more the contradiction I didn't like. It sends mixed messages to fans.

It's hard not to like Rohl though. Like today, all the pressure was on him and he turns up to the interview just the same, with a smile on his face.

Right man to take us forward, but I'd rather he go back to a game-by-game basis as we are not in Europe anymore.

15 Feb 2026 19:46:12
I know it's early days but I have to say that Rommens is looking like some player. Been very impressed by him in first couple of outings but thought he was excellent today during the whole game. He has some engine on him and still making runs up and down the park right to the end.

He looks like an attacking LB who causes havoc in attack but can actually defend as well. Hope this guy keeps up this level of performance as this is exactly what we need.

15 Feb 2026 20:16:29
He's very, very composed with the ball in the final 25 yards of the pitch.

I love how he looks to cut the ball back and not just hang it in the air and hope for the best.



I said on here, when we had just got him, he looks so, so similar to Arthur Numan in style, it's pretty scary.

He might not be quite as good, but no shame in that.

15 Feb 2026 20:22:35
Made a couple of runs that he was not played in, always on the move, giving options and willing to hit the byline. Since it's one game a week for a while, he should be starting.

15 Feb 2026 20:26:22
Was just about to post this, Cooper. Was thinking, any chance we can employ Issam Charai as a scout 😅 because the two players (Igamane and Rommens) he's said would be perfect for Rangers have been.

15 Feb 2026 22:32:17
Blue 69, he might be back as head coach someday, ye never know, mate.

He was brought in with the hope he could take over in the future, so he's highly thought of within Ibrox.

16 Feb 2026 01:33:28
He's played today as a starting left back, was booked, and they won 2-0.
He was an unused sub in the last game.

I've seen a lot of left-back qualities in him, but not like Basset at all. He's a defensive left back who will likely move into centre back, and it's more about experience.

I think we'll see him end up in Ligue 1 in France in 2-3 years, at a mid-table team, and becoming a very good centre back.



We should keep him and loan him again next season, and even try to make max money on him if he doesn't want to be here.

He seemed heavily committed to us. Even when not in the squad under Martin, he was always posting pics of us and him in our gear.

I think it's a mistake, and he's better than Djiga was until he came back from AFCON.

If he got the chances Djiga got, he'd have shown better, imo.

16 Feb 2026 08:01:34
We got to guess the player, since u don't even mention him? I know it's Nsiala, but a clue next time. 😉

Haha Fork, I like to make sure the lads are on their toes, mate lol.

15 Feb 2026 19:42:20
Very well done Chermiti, your effort is all we've been asking for, and, you also got the end result for your efforts today. It's absolutely amazing where Dany and the boys have taken us to, it was a dream only after Martin, but here we are and hopefully we can now impose ourselves between now and the end of the season.

15 Feb 2026 20:17:58
Absolutely take a bow, Youssef Chermiti, who was superb today and absolutely MOTM. I don't think anyone can argue about that. 🤔 My star has constantly praised Chermiti so far, props to you also, my friend. 👍 🇬🇧 I did say in my post yesterday, while answering My star's post praising Chermiti, that the big fella needs to start scoring regularly and adding goals to his game, and, by God, he did it today, and to be fair to him he's now scored 5 goals against the 2 teams that we're fighting to win the league with.

👍 I also said in that post to My star that there's no doubt Chermiti is a talent, and is fast, with very fast feet and skilful, also. 👌 Before he scored his 3rd goal today, he showed immense skill along the byline, and I had a terrific view of that piece of skill with his very fast, mesmerising footwork. 👌 🇬🇧

15 Feb 2026 22:06:18
Irvger, putting it as a dream is underestimating it, imo. I thought a Europa League spot would've been a great achievement after Martin was sacked. Brilliant job the guys have done.

15 Feb 2026 19:34:57
Well, that's why Danny Röhl's a football Manager and I'm not.

Had Chermiti nowhere near the starting XI today and he thumps in a hat trick with 2 good goals and a great 1 (header).

Happy with that today. Let's move.

15 Feb 2026 20:21:00
Souness, yea, three good goals, but the header was one to savour, the power in it was amazing.

15 Feb 2026 22:08:48
It was class. It was everything we've all questioned about him in terms of his striker instincts: the desire to get there, the leap, the power in the header, and the accuracy.

Love to see a goal like that as much as a 30-yard screamer. Fair play to him, that's 2 'win or bust' games now this season, and he's popped up with 5 goals across the 2 matches.

16 Feb 2026 08:52:23
Remember the lad is also still only 21.

15 Feb 2026 18:49:10
Well I'll gladly eat my words. I thought the league was gone and wasn't confident about Hearts games but what a day to put on a performance. Big difference having 2 strikers on and Olson and Moore as well.

Think Danny got it spot on today. So pleased for Chermiti. Think you could see his celebration and other players pointing to his name he's been feeling the pressure a bit

15 Feb 2026 19:53:13
Yeah, not surprised he's been feeling it when our fans are posting things such as "please sell him in the summer." 😉

15 Feb 2026 20:02:41
Chermiti: 6 goals, 5 games against our title rivals. His overall play and link up with Naderi were absolutely brilliant. A wee bit more consistent, and we'll have a brilliant striker on our hands.

15 Feb 2026 20:07:19
Again, Davie, good performance. We're in the hunt again, but the one-game-at-a-time analogy couldn't be more apt. Hearts have players to come back, and all teams will lose points. We need to not get ahead of ourselves. Great 3 points, though.

15 Feb 2026 18:39:03
Thankfully we don't have a say on team selection otherwise I'm sure none of us would've had big Chermiti on, or Gassama for that matter lol.

Massive win today. Doesn't matter what the rest do as long as we win our games.

Plenty of bottle shown today also, that should give them all a big lift.

I'm feeling it

15 Feb 2026 20:09:31
Gassama did well off the bench because we have competition for places now. People are fair enough to criticise aspects of both of their performances and Chermiti's goal return, but some of the stuff is outrageous and just poor reaction to a defeat.

15 Feb 2026 21:08:55
It wasn't even a defeat, Bazbear73. It was a draw. I dread to think what the reaction will be if we do lose a game in the run-in.

15 Feb 2026 22:51:33
Aye, Foolmonty. I still think a point against Motherwell away will be more than the teams around us will get.

15 Feb 2026 18:31:43
I like being wrong. Chermiti's best game in his career and all credit to the boy. Hat trick hero. Not often we see one nowadays. A Rangers striker should still have more goals than 7 in 3 years, but I'll be positive for him today.

Tomorrow I'll be back to normal. An interesting end to the season coming up. Danny Rohl really has done an amazing job.

15 Feb 2026 19:39:59
7 for Rangers.

15 Feb 2026 19:40:14
It's not 7 in 3 years at Rangers, though, is it? Talk about dampening the mood. Boy scored a hat trick and was involved in our other goal.

15 Feb 2026 19:41:29
Whine, maybe those who see nothing in him should at least trust the man who got us into this title fight.

15 Feb 2026 20:27:31
Whine, stop taking the gloss off a superb performance by big Chermiti today, my friend, and not just his hat-trick, because his overall play was immense against Hearts today. Give the big man full praise, without having a wee dig also, Whine.

👎 My star is correct, Chermiti now has a 1-in-2 goal-scoring record at Rangers, i.e. it's 7 goals in 15 games, better than some realise. 👌 🇬🇧 Hope he can kick on and score regularly for us now. 🙏

15 Feb 2026 22:45:15
I'm absolutely scunnered at the lack of belief and appreciation for Danny. Tav, Chermiti, those two, outwith the manager, have especially been tremendous for us.

15 Feb 2026 23:10:01
Chermiti won the game at Parkhead, and again today.

15 Feb 2026 23:23:48
Mystar, there was a guy on here last night - a former coach - who said he could see very little in Chermiti that would warrant a start. I'll bet that guy feels like a bit of an eejit tonight. 😂😂

15 Feb 2026 18:55:54
So happy that awful player scored 3 goals today, not just his goals but his quality on the ball, why i believe he's a young talented player with plenty ability.

15 Feb 2026 19:36:28
We are much better when we play two up top. I thought Chermiti and Naderi linked up very well and caused Hearts all sorts of problems. I just wish we could defend balls into our box.

15 Feb 2026 19:37:55
I have roasted the lad at times, tbf. Should have scored against Well, but great performance today. 👏🏻❤️🤍💙

15 Feb 2026 19:41:34
My star, he is 100% talented, and I pray that we don't chase him out the door. Yes, he finds Scottish football tough, but this boy will make us a fortune. Bring back Thelwell, only kidding. 🤦‍♂️

15 Feb 2026 19:47:46
😂😂 Awe right, my star, stop milking it, mate.

15 Feb 2026 19:53:32
I thought he was immense for the full 90 minutes.

One of the best striking performances I've seen for a long time.

15 Feb 2026 20:00:08
Fair dues, my Sky. It was good to see him win an important game. His interview was humbling, he thanked the team.

15 Feb 2026 20:10:02
Aye, he played really well today. Needs to kick it up a gear now and build on it. I thought Naderi did a lot of donkey work today also, Olsen's ball for Chermiti's header was a peach.

Moore was wasted out wide for me, should've been thru the middle when Naderi went off. I think subs should be introduced earlier, Rohl leaves it too late for me. 3 points n on to Livi.

15 Feb 2026 20:11:09
Quite right, Mystar, rub it in. The criticism of players sometimes is laughable. C'mon, the happy clappers.

15 Feb 2026 20:13:50
Fantastic result today. Really pleased for Chermiti today, the big man is class, & we need to get behind him rather than waiting for him to fail. Also, I thought we were excellent today in sticking together & not letting the heads go down.

Not the perfect performance, but one that gives so much hope. And, let's face it, we couldn't ask for more after the start we had.

15 Feb 2026 20:20:58
He was excellent. Tracked back well also.

15 Feb 2026 18:53:31
That was some performance. Well done to all the boys. Every player was on it today.
This title is there for the taking.

15 Feb 2026 20:13:36
Star, you have consistently backed Chermiti.
You are entitled to have a glow of satisfaction.
I always read your posts with interest. You always provide food for thought.
Cheers.
