Rangers Banter 3

08 Mar 2026 18:06:40
If we don't win this league which i don't think we will then i'm all in on the jams. that shower taking another title would be drastic for our club. oh and a ban on all those kids in blue balaclavas is a must.

hope our new owners throw down the permanent bans. no place for this in footie now. its just draconian. and how the heck do those irsh palestine flags get into the stadium. so many questions need answered.

08 Mar 2026 18:44:46
Sorry Deecee, but I only want 1 team to win the league. Couldn't care less about anyone else.

08 Mar 2026 19:32:55
It's important that Hearts win it. If Celtic win, they will be on 6-in-a-row. They will start talking about going for the 10 again.

Many will be too young to remember this, but before Rangers won 9-a-row it was all Celtic ever spoke about.

The fact they had done 9-in-a-row, when we equalled that, it broke them. It took away something special from them. If they do the 10, we won't beat that in our lifetimes. Hearts winning the league this season takes that pressure off.

08 Mar 2026 20:05:09
I bet the first game after the split is Rangers and Hearts, so we can't influence the title, and the last game will be Celtic v Hearts, so fixed in their favour. Got away with so many today, refs don't want to book them.

08 Mar 2026 20:36:48
I've said this so many times before, and been shot down. Those halfwits dressed in black have no place at Ibrox, get them banned for life. Losing the game is bad enough, seeing them destroying our name yet again is sickening

08 Mar 2026 21:18:28
I agree, Dob. I cannot think why any fan who loves Rangers would defend the Ub's actions today.

08 Mar 2026 21:29:26
How many fouls is Maeda
allowed to commit? No bearing on result of game, but still. Why is he allowed to commit so many fouls without any booking? Can't understand it.

08 Mar 2026 21:36:03
Azul, I think Maeda has diplomatic immunity.

08 Mar 2026 21:46:47
Be interesting to see how many fouls over the two games he's committed.

08 Mar 2026 23:34:49
Kaiser 🤣 could be right.

08 Mar 2026 17:58:30
Moore only player that wants to get the ball and running to create things.

08 Mar 2026 18:34:47
Yeah, and our manager, who hasn't done anything wrong ever, took him off.

08 Mar 2026 19:06:35
He was exhausted, Storm.

08 Mar 2026 19:06:50
Maybe he was knackered?

08 Mar 2026 19:14:38
The way I look at Moore is he is a talented player who gets on the ball a lot, but produces very little, almost nothing. The hype around him is unbelievable for how little he actually delivers. I would have him on the bench; that's where he has the most impact, against tired legs.

08 Mar 2026 19:26:34
Who would you prefer as manager, Stormtrooper?

08 Mar 2026 19:30:02
Stuey, he is definitely our most creative player. He will have a decent career in the game. Hopefully we can keep him for another season.

08 Mar 2026 19:35:57
Mikey Moore is like Ryan Kent. He has no end product. Where are the goals and assists?

Some people might point to his age. Tillman was a young guy when he came to us, and it was his first year of men's football.

He scored about 18 times. People said he wasn't worth £5m. When you look at Motherwell and Celtic, they have attacking midfielders who get them goals: Maswanhise and Nygren. We need someone who has end product.

08 Mar 2026 20:06:00
Maybe knackered but still better than others on pitch.

08 Mar 2026 20:12:18
Moore is entertaining and a joy to watch. Football is entertainment. 🤷‍♂️ He's only a young lad and shows more fight and dig than most experienced pros we've had in recent years. Let's not hound him out because too many of his teammates are duds.

08 Mar 2026 20:17:56
Baz, I have said numerous times who I would go for if Rohl wasn't there, but I have said Rohl should get next season.

Chermiti was knackered. Naderi was knackered, he never took the off. Moore being knackered is still a better player than Gassama.

08 Mar 2026 21:32:00
Who is it, Storm?
I don't remember seeing who you wanted.

08 Mar 2026 23:36:00
Good point, Rohl. I have had similar convos with mates. I do rate him to be great in future, but dribbles into non-dangerous areas most of the time and is dispossessed.

08 Mar 2026 17:32:29
Spending 40mill on players and winning he haw is an absolute embarrassment in Scotland. there's nothing more to say that that really.

08 Mar 2026 17:27:55
Nine games to go would like the same back four that started today to play out the rest of the season, if all fit. Though big Djiga and Fernandes played well today, even though they didn't offer much up front. Also let's finish of the season with two strikers up top.

Let's just have a go and see where it takes us. Very disappointed on today's game but we carry on and keep believing.

08 Mar 2026 18:35:22
We didn't create many clear cut chances with 2 up top.

08 Mar 2026 19:36:46
The defense looked a lot better without Souttar. Souttar is an absolute bomb scare of a defender. He is not good enough to pay for Rangers. Giving him that new contract was a mistake.

08 Mar 2026 20:02:53
We played 120 mins this weekend, 90 last, and I can barely remember their keeper making a save.

08 Mar 2026 20:06:58
Hate to say it as I backed his signing, but Skov has done nowt.

08 Mar 2026 20:15:43
Defo need better quality in wide areas, especially if we go 2 up top.

08 Mar 2026 20:18:19
I agree with that, Rohl.

08 Mar 2026 20:22:38
When we signed Souttar, it was for depth to the squad and not as our main defender, and that is the way it should stay.
We have seen enough to know that he will never be the level of defender that we need to be successful.


With us now playing with two up, it is even more imperative that we play with two central defenders who can play a higher line and go man to man.
The best we have available to play that way were the two who started today.

08 Mar 2026 21:45:56
Might not be a popular opinion, but the first decent crosses we had coming into the box today were from Tav when he came on. I can't see any reason why we don't try him further up for the remainder of the season, at least he gets a ball over, which is more than can be said for our current wingers.

08 Mar 2026 22:18:10
He is a good crosser, but glad he's not in the team anymore. First minute he comes on, he isn't tight enough to the winger, who goes past him for pace. Sterling had the boy Tounetki on toast, and was touch tight to him.


Rightly so, he is out the team; he is too costly defensively, and if you play him, midfield players would run off him. Impact sub till he goes for me.
But I agree, most of the crossing was very poor.

08 Mar 2026 17:20:06
Today's game was like watching 2 aging punch drunk boxers slugging it out trying to recapture form of the past.
A game devoid of quality.
Which was ultimately settled by the team who was more proficient from 12 yards.
With a lot riding on the fixture, I'm not sure either Rohl or the players got anything wrong.
But the opposite was also true. They never got much right either.
The game will be remembered for everything that is now wrong with the Old Firm fixture.
From Celtic fans without tickets forcing their way in. And the obligatory mocking of the 66 souls who lost their lives in the Ibrox disaster.


The bigoted and sectarian singing from both sets of fans.
Point scoring about CSA scandal.
To the pitch invasion at the end.
There is a vileness and hatred from both sets of fans that has crept into this fixture since 2012.
Which will now put paid to any full allocation at either ground in the foreseeable future.
A fixture that used to be one of the Crown Jewels in European football has been reduced to a knockoff version of a fake Rolex you can buy on a Spanish beach.
We now have to dust ourselves down and put in a monumental effort in the remaining 9 league games.
Onwards and upwards🔴⚪️🔵.

08 Mar 2026 18:24:46
Why were the away crowds restricted again?
Our lot were bad enough, but it takes 2.
& Both were culpable.

08 Mar 2026 18:45:50
They campaigned and cried about the lack of atmosphere, welcome back, and that's what u get. Lock them out again. And that goes for ours at theirs. Can't be trusted. Morons.

08 Mar 2026 18:47:10
Well said, MPH.

08 Mar 2026 19:00:25
Bar, have you seen the damage Celtic have caused today. It will go back to 800, I feel.

08 Mar 2026 19:13:08
Totally agree, MPH.

Sad thing is, with more balanced numbers in the crowd, it was totally predictable.

Really, don't get the clamour to move to old allocations. All you end up with is more bile and hatred.

08 Mar 2026 19:29:22
I wouldn't allow them back into the stadium after today. Would rather have 7500 passionate Rangers fans in those seats than those animals.

08 Mar 2026 19:33:08
Reportedly, more of them pushed their way into the game. Also, they were the first to run onto the pitch. Not condoning what our supporters did, but let's get all the facts out.

08 Mar 2026 19:38:11
I would limit Celtic to 800 seats forever. I don't want them in our stadium, running onto the pitch, putting scarves on goalposts, wiping snot on corner flags, grabbing police hats, jumping over advertising boards, etc. They cannot behave. It's why their allocation was cut to begin with. Ibrox is for Rangers fans.

08 Mar 2026 19:40:38
Well said Mph, no place for the balaclava boys running riot at the end.

08 Mar 2026 19:41:17
Union bears should all be banned for life

08 Mar 2026 19:41:43
MPH I think that is a great post which sums up what is wrong with both teams football and supporter wise. Most fans are great and go to offer great support but is seems the "minority" of troublesome fans are growing.

On a football front Celtic are brutal and had half a team missing offered nothing middle to front. Rangers had most of the ball but Celtic keeper only had 2 saves to make. It is a sad indictment of both clubs that the football they are playing is dire.

No wonder Hearts are ahead in the league they are not great but have been consistent.

Both Celtic and Rangers have a lot of improvement needed and new players bought!

08 Mar 2026 21:58:48
So why highlight Rangers fans running up the pitch on your own site, and say nothing of the despicable behaviour of your own fans graffiti of 66 people who lost their lives on your site?
There are no place for either of these types if idiots in either fanbase.

08 Mar 2026 17:19:47
We need a severe injection of real quality in the attacking side, our strikers are just not consistant enough, Chermiti is a flash in the pan, turns up sometimes, we need a striker who turns uo every week, Naderi works hard but doesn't look like he has that quality finish, also we have been crying out for a central attacking midfielder for years that can create chances or score, for me our central midfield of Raskin, Diomande, chucky are too defensive, Skov Olsen i would not be paying a hefty fee for.

08 Mar 2026 18:27:40
So, I've said already, does not appear anywhere close to an 8mill or 50k per week player.
Dr says we have 9 'finals' to go! It's the only finals any of this lot will see.
#pissedoffbear.

08 Mar 2026 18:54:09
BAR72, I can't see us winning 9 "finals" as Dr calls them. We are toothless up front; hopeful balls into the box won't do it, I'm afraid. Trying to walk it in doesn't work, and it's been a problem all season. I hope I'm wrong, but at the moment I just can't see it.

08 Mar 2026 19:12:52
To be fair, Naderi was doing the donkey work for Chermiti. Maybe, if he was played as the lead striker, he might grab some goals, as his movement looks far better than Chermiti.

08 Mar 2026 20:42:20
Big Dado, no, just no.

08 Mar 2026 21:07:45
Not sure what Naderi has done wrong to be written off, Ghaz.

08 Mar 2026 17:06:06
Can only hope for next season we can bring in some players with a winning mentality. This team is totally bereft of players who know how to win in any way it takes. To be unable to beat a Celtic team with half a team missing is unforgivable. As poor as Celtic are at this time they still have winners and battlers in their ranks.

Who do we have that can drag us through tough games, I can't think of one player I'd chose to have beside me in the trenches. Powder puff, sand dancers aplenty but no soldiers among them.

08 Mar 2026 19:00:37
100%. We can't keep on this wheel of sacking a manager. The new 1 gets an improvement, but we fall away. Look around that squad, who's the 1 fans rely on? If we don't have the players with the right mentality, then go get them, and 2 or 3 make a massive difference.

08 Mar 2026 19:43:01
I remember Rohl saying that mentality was number-one priority, and so he knows it is a problem. I would ship out Olsen at the end of the season. There was a player there once, but his bottle has gone.
