Rangers Banter 3

Looking like Kilmarnock are wanting Curtis for another year. Do we give it the ok or bring him back?

08 May 2026 12:48:57
Bring him back and give them Gassama.

08 May 2026 13:28:25
Agree, Scooby. BTW I used to know a guy from Posso called Scooby, him and his partner were addicts, both totally clean now and doing great. One summer's day I was hanging out my window, along comes Scooby running along the street sweating, shouting to his brother who stayed up above me, "George going to phone an ambulance, Marion has stuck her arse to the radiator." Omg I couldn't believe my ears, just another day in Posso.

Every time I hear the name Scooby it takes me right back to that day, think I was about 9yr old, what a place.

08 May 2026 14:20:20
Boy Blue, that's comical but I can confirm that's no me. Never been a junkie and never had a bird called Marion who got her arse stuck on a radiator. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

08 May 2026 16:03:24
Rw has been a problem position since Cerny left Rangers, so hopefully Curtis might return from his loan spell at Killie and become a regular starter or important member of our first team squad.

08 May 2026 11:57:01
I for one Hope's that DR will still be our manager next season When he came in we were a basket case and he has improved us in my opinion onwards and upwards wee arra peeepoll keep the faith

08 May 2026 12:35:10
We can't keep changing managers, and, for me, Danny Rohl gets his deserved chance to sign his own players and build his own Rangers team. 👍 He imo deserves to be our manager for next season. 👍🇬🇧

08 May 2026 12:46:30
Has he improved us? We were 13 points behind Hearts when he took charge, and we could end the season 13 points behind them.

08 May 2026 13:10:17
Sausage, you saying he didn't improve us? He clearly did. Still the best points total under Rohl.
He needs a couple of windows then he can be properly judged.

08 May 2026 13:23:14
On Sunday we could be 10 points behind Hearts. No improvement here that I see. Possibly 3 points? Danny has to go.

08 May 2026 13:36:46
Rangers 60 Celtic 56 Hearts 54 in Rohl's time, deecee.
You think Rangers would have won 8 games in a row under Martin? We get you want him out, but improvement has happened under Rohl even if you can't see it.

08 May 2026 13:39:43
Yeah, but if he hadn't improved us, we could be 26 points behind Hearts by the end of the season. He gave it a right good go with the worst squad of players we have had since Mad Pedros days.

08 May 2026 13:40:57
We don't win anything for the points total since Rohl came in. Not really sure it's something to brag about.

08 May 2026 13:49:47
Brag about? I'm only highlighting since Rohl came in we've picked up the most points in the league, sausage.

08 May 2026 14:26:24
Sausagerohl, what were the expectations when Rohl came in?

This nonsense about the points gap is starting to grate on me as well. We couldn't buy a win under previous manager. We were nose diving and the rest were pulling further and further clear of us every week.
Even if we finished 13pts behind, it would still show progression of some sort as the bleeding has stopped over a period of time.
So for those who suggest we haven't improved under Rohl, with a squad that isn't his, are far from reality imo.

It's about time we pulled together as a support, backed the manager and backed the team.



I note in 2003-04 McLeish losing the league by 17pts, having been champions, knocked out of both cups with a far better squad than this btw, still kept his job and delivered the title again the following season.

Those were the days. Loyalty to the team and manager, before the 'happy clapper' comments come out.

Danny Rohl had us 'playing electric' up until 18:30 on Monday. 45 mins later & half the fan base want rid. What chance ye got.

08 May 2026 14:28:06
Wsl, absolutely on the money. Sense and situational understanding at last.

08 May 2026 17:17:40
His record against the top 5 teams is 6 wins. I think he's won maybe 1 big game v Hearts, and his selections and subs are baffling. I've said he should go, but I also accept we can't be continental, sacking managers after 1 season or less.

08 May 2026 09:57:35
Danny Rohl has answered a question today about Wolfsburg links.

Claims his full focus is on Rangers, winning trophies and changing things here.

08 May 2026 10:07:04
He's not going to come out and say he wants out.

08 May 2026 10:22:43
He also wouldn't say him and the board are aligned to go in one direction, and he is in the right place with the right people if he was going. You can see what he's said on X, as Chris Jack is posting it.



If he was leaving you'd get the usual "My focus is on the next 3 games and in the summer we will see what happens".

Just my perception of it. But could be wrong.

08 May 2026 11:05:22
I think the pull of going back to Germany would be too much for him to resist, only for family reasons.
I wonder where we would be now in the league, if he had the backroom team that Barry had.
I think he's a good coach and going to get better. Just his inexperience, especially in a unique league, that's failed him.


With the correct players, I think his style would be implemented better, and we would be watching a better game.
I still think having an Ian McColl or Billy Reid next to him, would benefit him so much.

08 May 2026 11:06:02
I agree with that take, Ayrshire. That's the usual line if they are going. Not saying though that that means anything.

08 May 2026 11:11:03
We shall see what happens. Won't need to wait long. A couple of ITK have said we will hear after Falkirk game.

08 May 2026 11:23:49
For me he's staying after hearing this. Most rumours on here are wrong, as you would expect.

Totally agree, Ayrshire. That's exactly what he would say.

08 May 2026 11:25:37
I think Danny Rohl is definitely staying. 🤔

08 May 2026 11:29:45
We can only wait and see, lads, but I'm leaning towards that sounds like staying to me.

08 May 2026 11:32:29
For me, he needs to beat Celtic on Sunday.

08 May 2026 11:32:43
He did seem fairly defiant today, gave an insightful answer to what went wrong in the 2nd half and how he could change it. Time will tell, however, no confidence for Sunday at all despite Celtic fans I know being just as optimistic as us.

08 May 2026 12:15:40
He's staying for next season. My reaction after loss to Hearts was he has to go and to go get the Motherwell manager in. We can't keep changing managers, and hopefully he gets the backing in the window and we get lucky with recruitment.

In an ideal world, we bring in players that understand what the club is all about, however, I just want players in that improve on what's going out.

08 May 2026 09:34:36
Morning troops, just wondering after all the chat I've seen recently, what's our feeling in terms of if Rohl will be in charge next season? Do we think he will be in charge or not? I hope he is but based off what I've read I feeling that it won't be the case unfortunately.

08 May 2026 09:47:14
I hope so as well.
But, the nature of football, there is always rumours flying around.

08 May 2026 10:07:38
I can see him going back to Germany.

08 May 2026 10:33:08
Don't have any idea he really is homesick, or if Andrew Cavanagh will decide to bin him.

My guess, though, would be that this time next year someone else will be in charge.

08 May 2026 10:53:51
For me I think that Rohl has met his targets and objectives for this season. Likely told that he needs to be in some European competition and show signs of progress. Some people will say there is no progress, but when he came in to the end of the season, it's arguable that league position and point difference have been improved and may well be enough for the board to consider targets are met.



I'm only guessing as I don't believe anyone knows the targets set, but I don't believe he was told you need to win the league this year or you're out.

08 May 2026 11:07:12
I hope he is at Rangers, but if he goes I hope we are at least looking at the following: Lampard, Gerrard and McInnes.

08 May 2026 09:01:31
Classic Rangers!

Another manager fiasco!

What's the point what with this constant merry go round.

All the positive rumours in this site around what's coming and what's in place. Yet here was are again all talking about another manager we want sacked or happy to go or isn't happy themselves.

We are totally lost. Fumbling around in the dark. Talking up what should be called out.

How exhausting it is now to be a Teddy Bear.

08 May 2026 09:30:41
I am with you GDog, God help any manager we bring in that doesn't have instant success. Fans saying Gerrard got 3 years because what he inherited. What a load of bull, there was fans crying out for him to go before he won the league and was saved by Covid.

Yet every manager since has had less than 1 season to do anything. Most of them have had real reasons why it failed, injuries, no funds etc etc.



I genuinely fear for where we are going. No stability, constantly chopping and changing. Some fans saying we need managers who can adapt and change against different opposition, the others saying we have no playing style. Until last 2 games Rohl had the most points gained v any other manager in the league over the same period.

Don't like the way it's heading at all.

08 May 2026 09:39:18
GDog, I'd prefer Rohl staying, but maybe he wants the move, agreed, replacing managers as fast is why we're winning nothing, new man is working with the old man's players, it's happening constantly since Gerrard.

08 May 2026 09:39:49
I think under Gerrard you could see progress and a style of play from early on, that's why he got so long. His first season he was never going to win with what he had, no manager would compared to Celtic at the time.

08 May 2026 10:05:23
I think the narrative around Gerrard is a bit tedious. Everyone speaks like he was universally back. If it wasn't for COVID he would have been bulleted that second season. Nobody gave a crap about "signs of progress" or "style of play".

Style of play has become a loaded gun aimed at basically every manager. Our "style" needs to be "win at all costs". Don't care if it's down to pretty little triangles, underlapping, overlapping, whipped crosses, floated crosses, long shots, tap ins, cut backs, OG's.

Just win.

For my 37 years on this planet, I've known Rangers to be the hardest working team willing to get dirty and do whatever it takes. I want that back. I want work ethic first and foremost, then a team that will bleed for each other. Then if we add technical quality to that I'm a happy man.

08 May 2026 10:05:35
How did Covid win us the league, Geesa?

08 May 2026 10:55:47
Never said COVID won us the league.

08 May 2026 11:14:11
I agree, Ayrshire, he was very close to the Dan Mack and then COVID came and saved his job. There wasn't any progress from 1st year to 2nd year. We were getting worse. It is only because he won the title that people want him back and don't remember the 2 years before it.

I will always thank him for that title, but his record overall before he jumped ship was not great.

08 May 2026 11:49:23
It's not Rangers causing the rumours.

08 May 2026 08:38:19
No matter what Aph posts ( and I enjoy what he brings to the site ) there is always someone willing to have a dig to get a rise out of him.
Yesterday, we all championed a couple of threads that gave much needed help / advice / sounding board to a couple of posters who were struggling mentally and the fear of an eye op.
12 hours later and we have meltdown.
The constant sniping is wearing down some very good / respectable posters.
I know the sight of Rangers being 3rd and seemingly throwing it away can impact our ability to convey thoughts correctly ( I've done it after a bad result ) but we need to be mindful of what some posters use this site for.


It can be break from stuff happening in normal life.
It can be for company around other like minded Rangers fans.
It might just be to vent about the good, the bad and the ugly of our current situation as Rangers fans.
I'm asking all to take a wee step back and think before posting. It's easy to type, post and sit back for the fall out.
Keep Believing. 🔴⚪🔵.

08 May 2026 08:50:10
I love what he brings to the site, MPH, but he does tend to go overboard on the accusations of discrimination if you disagree with certain elements of his opinions.

Me, disagree with me and I couldn't give a toss. I'll not come back at you and accuse you of discrimination.

08 May 2026 08:52:17
Respect every poster on here. We are not always going to agree, but opinions are what make this site great. 🫡 Here's to a good weekend. 🍺

08 May 2026 09:01:57
Rostosto, there lies the problem.
I don't care what people think of me, but everyone is different and to play it down is wrong. You are having a dig about discrimination, and saying you won't come back at anyone and accuse them of that.

As I said, everyone is different and people take things differently to others.

People go out their way to do this to Aphe and have done since he started posting on here a long time ago.

08 May 2026 09:27:14
Asa, Ehl, Keep posting my friends.

08 May 2026 09:29:45
Storm, the guy had effectively accused me of being a racist in the past mate. If the guy knew anything about me he would be embarrassed by that accusation.

Done!

I'll take a break from posting.

08 May 2026 09:31:49
I disagreed with a comment from one about no more foreigners but apart from that I think the Eds do an incredible job keeping out the worst stuff. I even find it reassuring when I see my posts at times waiting for approval longer than others because it shows they monitor everything to keep it clean.

So a big thanks to the Eds. If u can't accept others views or strongly disagree with someone then just block them.

08 May 2026 10:42:11
Even had to wait for approval to thanks the Eds 😂😂. They don't tolerate bigotry or racism. If u don't agree with how they run the site or what they accept take it up with them. Cheers again Ed.

08 May 2026 11:05:45
Social media is accessible globally, when you post you have no idea the background, ethnicity, religion or orientation of the person reading.

If you say you can simply scroll past something you don't like, in itself is asking people who are offended to ignore. More appropriate is that you should be mindful that everyone is different.

Saying something in Scotland may well be acceptable to "Scots", but offensive to others.

Just me mindful of others, respect all and be aware different cultures could easily be offended. We are diverse on the field. Why can't we be diverse in the stands?

08 May 2026 07:55:48
A lot of talk now about Danny Rohl. Will he, or won't he leave in the summer?

I'm just going to share my opinion on Rohl. It changed dramatically after we played Hibs away. Our set up that day was a disgrace and I noticed some red flags. Our next game was Motherwell away (I think) and the same flags reappeared. Ever since then I knew he didn't fully "get it". We've struggled since, albeit beating some bottom 6 sides and maybe Hearts at home in between it. It's weird, because I go to the games but I've never been able to force myself and sing Rohl's song, I always felt it was premature even though it's just supporting him, I felt we made a mistake. I guess I was just so against him being our manager but didn't notice how much.

I think Rohl is a very good man-manager, but I don't think he's a great coach and it was too soon for him to be manager of our club. He's been out coached a lot since being here.

I've just never been a fan. He's not really improved us that much (and It shouldn't have been difficult), as the only way was up, and he's spent maybe £12.5-£15m in January. We're out played in games a bit, rarely have control or dominate games. The evidence is there, we don't win consistently (overall) either. 42% win rate? 🙈.

I like Rohl as a person but this is Rangers and I would be glad to see him leave as harsh as that sounds. I was always an advocate for Muscat but now I'm desperate for the Motherwell manager if that's ever possible. It's saying us in the face.

If Rohl stays and he proves me wrong then I'll be delighted because I know we've been successful and that's all I want. We just don't have much time as Hearts are strengthening and Celtic you'd imagine will too.

Just remember, everyone has an opinion. I've shared mine over Rohl.

08 May 2026 08:32:45
Chasni, you are entitled to your opinion, of course. There has been lots of discussion on here about the Motherwell manager and if he would be a success at Rangers, and the general view is no, because his style is claimed to be similar to RM.

The biggest challenge for Rohl was changing our set up half way through the season. Preseason had conditioning targeted towards marathon runners rather than sprinters.

Plenty on here said you can't change that midterm, and they know more than me.

We just cannot keep going changing managers every time we have a few losses. It really is not sustainable. Half of our costs recently must be to cover managers' compensation when sacked.

08 May 2026 08:33:10
Chasni, I think that Jens Berthel Askou will end up across the city mate. 🤔 If Rohl did leave, my choice, like it has been since Steven Gerrard left, would be Kevin Muscat. 🤔🇬🇧

08 May 2026 08:35:54
Good post, Chas.

08 May 2026 08:44:54
I don't think the Motherwell manager could do what he's done at Motherwell at Rangers or Celtic.

08 May 2026 09:04:45
Ange done it at Celtic, so to say it can't be done at either team is wrong. The problem the Motherwell manager would have is he would need to hit the ground running. Every manager has that problem coming into Rangers, and it's not always possible.


I would say it's not like RM football as he likes to get the ball forward at every opportunity, whereas RM football was just to keep possession, no matter what.

08 May 2026 09:13:55
Tactics were very different from Martin. Defensively, they seem suspect, but somehow had the best defensive record in Europe, and they are also possession with intent rather than just possession. Can someone explain why no one else shows any interest in Muscat if he's so great?

08 May 2026 09:23:20
Kasier, I don't get this Muscat either. Yes, he has won leagues, but where about has he won them? Not for me anyway. Number one choice for me is Derek Mciness.

08 May 2026 09:24:26
Rhol. Nice guy. Arm round the shoulder modern manager but.. that squad should be beating Motherwell etc. out through by Motherwell and Hearts management. He's got Celtic to paper over the cracks. Even a win. There's still cracks.

08 May 2026 09:25:58
Experience - Experience - Experience - is what we need if Danny is going to leave - not a trial attempt at getting the next new up and coming manager (nice though it sounds on paper) - one who has been over the course and has won trophies is imperative - perhaps an older head - no point in having American backing and taking on yet another project - firstly, we need stability and forward planning and we need to become hard to beat, but also have a winning mentality which, unfortunately, has been lacking in our club for many years - sounds simple, but it is obviously far from that given our track record - Is Gerard the man, don't know?.

🤔 - Is McInnes the man, don't know?. 🤔 - but hopefully those on high make the right decision, whoever is chosen, as we need said stability asap along with a winning attitude asap too. 🙏 Give us back a winning Gers team we all can be proud of as the years of suffering and Groundhog Day scenarios must stop - Please.

08 May 2026 11:21:44
I don't think McInnes would leave Hearts to come here. The same way he didn't leave the sheep to come here. I think that ship has sailed the same way Shankland has. I wanted better than Shankland, but I said at start of season I would rather have Shanks than Miovski and the golden boy who has failed to score in the 1st 2 of the big 5 cup finals in Chermiti.

The boy has something, but doesn't score enough. He has stopped scoring in big games now. When we needed him the most.

08 May 2026 11:22:27
I forgot Chermiti had scored in those games. 🥴 I was going off in a rant. 😂 Apologies.

08 May 2026 13:21:56
McInnes should be asked if he wants the job, bigger wage and bigger transfer funds, can only ask, and Chermiti will only become better with more experience, his first proper season, he has bags of ability and one of only a few players recently putting the graft in.
