Rangers Banter 3

26 Sep 2026 09:03:56
None of us really know the character of players, the type of man they are, the strength of personality. Saying that and on reading Barry Fergusons comment on Dan Neil it looks like Dan has all the attributes to be a Rangers Captain and Leader for years.

Along with most fans I was surprised he was made vice captain as he didn't strike me as an obvious candidate but the guy has obviously something about him.

26 Sep 2026 11:47:43
Never seen it either until Celtic game at Ibrox, he was always being vocal and pointing at players and spaces etc. to keep players tuned into their jobs, think the armband improves him which you don't see often.

26 Sep 2026 12:15:36
Ferguson also thought Martin would be an excellent Rangers manager.🤷‍♂️

You win some, lose some when you are in the click bait game.

26 Sep 2026 12:24:37
Already said Dan Neil hadn't many top class abilities, BT, you are seeing it now, also said great leadership skills, you're also seeing that, a manager dream, does his job on the park with organising others.

26 Sep 2026 12:29:54
Massive difference with a quality cm judging another cm than manager.

26 Sep 2026 12:40:50
One or two also thought that every manager and every player we had over the last few seasons would be great and be a success so you are right Mr PotatoHead, you win some and you lose some.

The team are playing great and its not even October yet. For the first time in a long time I am confident that we have the minerals to be serious title contenders.

26 Sep 2026 17:22:07
🪃 Massive difference with seeing him play over 200 games.

26 Sep 2026 20:15:06
Watching a player over 200 games will give you a great understanding of a players ability. Obviously the other predictions were never watched over a prolonged period of time, which is understandable as there was a lot. Its a massive difference when a someone like Barry says he's a player instead of one or two who say everyone is a player.

26 Sep 2026 21:48:59
You said he couldn't play a few weeks ago, your words another poor player from the Championship, now he's quality

27 Sep 2026 00:32:56
That response was to 🪃 not Mph, reading it back, could look like that.

26 Sep 2026 00:57:43
Watching the 04/05 season on youtube

What a team

Klos

Ricksen
Boumsong
Kygriakos
Vignal

Ferguson
Mendes
Novo
Lovenkranse

Prso
Averladze.

26 Sep 2026 07:06:02
Arteta you mean not mendes?

26 Sep 2026 10:52:23
Ricksen was in the midfield
With alex rae.
Big zurab was at full back with bumsong and marvin andrews and vignal.
Kyriakos replaced bumsong when sold and a fit michael ball replaced zurab who lost his place can't remember if it was through injury or if he fell out of favour.

26 Sep 2026 11:41:50
Michael Ball lost his place as it was in his contract if he played so many games Rangers had a large payment to make.

26 Sep 2026 11:46:19
Pedro Mendes was at Rangers 2008-2010 - unforgettable memory of that goal at the piggery from 25 yards - that shut them up.

26 Sep 2026 13:14:08
Remember that goal Greg. That -- Is -- Just-- Brilliant!! Fantastic!

27 Sep 2026 14:41:37
Yes seeker one of my favourite Rangers goals everybody expecting Davis delivery into the box from the corner then the wee man hit a diagonal ball out to Pedro and bang - what a goall and a definite training ground move - love it.

New image uploaded to the
Rangers Player Sightings page entitled, Gassama Showing scoring on Live Score app.

Wish this was right Parlane as has few quid on him for to score in 90 and lost - hence my post on other thread -therefore a screenshot doesn't help me at all bud😫😫😫fact is bookies didn't pay out.

26 Sep 2026 08:47:15
I just wanted to confirm that I wasn't going completely 'doo-lally' after I'd posted that the app did indeed show Gassama as having scored. Unlucky with the bet BTW. 🙄.

25 Sep 2026 19:01:19
BBC sport website excellent article re recruitment by Man City. Great reading, may be a day late lol.

25 Sep 2026 19:20:11
I read it this morning, was an interesting read and good insight.

25 Sep 2026 20:13:47
They'll get the book thrown at them.

25 Sep 2026 20:29:16
They'll get demoted to Championship and a massive fine.

I wonder if they'll be stripped of titles though, anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on that part.

25 Sep 2026 20:30:52
Points awarded rather than deducted.

25 Sep 2026 20:42:06
If they lose titles we know melt down from east.

25 Sep 2026 21:25:03
They'll get a fine which they'll pay by back transfer that day and move on. The EPL have no balls to do anything meaningful. Honestly £20m / £30m and it's forgot about.

25 Sep 2026 22:04:06
I'm going for just a fine. Won't be any title stripping.

25 Sep 2026 22:20:04
They will be hammered or it will be the death of the EPL. Demotion to the lowest league imo.

26 Sep 2026 00:25:50
Why are Celtic fans getting so wound up re Man City and trying to get titles removed from RFC?

26 Sep 2026 03:24:35
There lawyers will appeal & it will drag on for years,
Real winners are the lawyers, its crazy what this is all costing,

26 Sep 2026 08:37:31
Will be interesting, especially when you look at Forest, Everton, Derby and West Ham.

I just hope it comes to a conclusion quickly.

26 Sep 2026 09:20:58
It's a minefield, think there are already clubs looking at challenges against them, for loss of revenue and exits from cup comps and obviously cheating when winning the league. Its bonkers and the lawyers are going to be loaded, I read City's lawyers Lord Pannick KC is on 5K an hour apparently rising to 10K.

I wonder how the PL will handle it.

26 Sep 2026 10:37:21
Seems coincidental about Pep leaving just before the 💩storm ehh? - 🤔imo many people knew what was coming and the ship started to lessen in numbers- actually surprised Big Haaland stayed on - interesting to see if City demoted(which prob wont happen - money talks) who had clauses in their playing contract to allow them to leave under certain circumstances - time no doubt will tell.

26 Sep 2026 13:16:32
Yeah, big fine and move on is my guess. Not saying it's enough btw.

26 Sep 2026 13:18:16
Man City will appeal and appeal and appeal. They will tie the EPL up in court with big name lawyers and drag the EPL to the point of bankruptcy if they have to because they have the wealth to do it, and they will face having to pay compensation of millions to other EPL clubs particularly those who feel they missed out CL qualification.

This could still go on for years and in the meantime they will still be allowed to compete and win more trophies.

26 Sep 2026 14:00:32
I was reading an article from a Manchester newspaper stating that they had paid 28 million pounds to get charges reduced,, incredible

25 Sep 2026 16:47:02
Anyone else have issues purchasing semi final tickets. Me & my partner had to buy individually as opposed
To combined as we normally do. Made it a bit trickier trying to get seats together.
App threw a few errors and no option to add fam-friends from drop down box appeared.

25 Sep 2026 18:05:55
I haven't been able to use the family & friends option for a while mate. Need to buy mine and my sons tickets separately and log in under separate accounts. Frustrates the life out a me.

25 Sep 2026 18:23:23
Checked with Gers support they said
Fam / friends is still available ( assuming both have same Gers points which we do )
Bit of a keech site all the same. Onwards & upwards.

25 Sep 2026 20:33:09
It's pish. If you don't have the same points/buying time.

25 Sep 2026 16:40:30
Good to see Gassama score last night.

25 Sep 2026 17:45:01
He played (83 mins) but didn't get on score sheet John🤔just hope he stays injury free.

25 Sep 2026 18:22:31
@Blue

According to my LiveScore app Gassama scored in the 69th minute to put Mauritania 2-1 up against Central African Republic, they went on to win 3-1. You're spot on with the sub time. 👍.

25 Sep 2026 18:35:44
Parlane, he's never scored mate.

25 Sep 2026 18:40:39
According to the BBC Website, Gassama played but he didn't score.

25 Sep 2026 18:44:32
Blue Floyd I understand he scored.

25 Sep 2026 18:45:26
W
R will find out when he returns.

25 Sep 2026 18:50:15
Sofa score, reliable site has camaraderie as second goalscorer.

25 Sep 2026 18:50:48
Sent an image to the correct thread on here showing Gassama had scored as per the LiveScore app. That's where I got the info from 🤔

Can you not attach an image to a message on here? Or attach a message to the image file on the correct thread?

25 Sep 2026 18:53:40
Goalscorers in that game. Koita, Camara, Diallo.

25 Sep 2026 19:01:58
Seen that on the beeb site. Just saying the LiveScore app shows different and Facebook live posts at the time of the goal were all showing that he had scored, too.

25 Sep 2026 19:02:37
Parlane, my star info is what's on sofa score.

25 Sep 2026 19:07:52
That's plenty! 🤣.

25 Sep 2026 19:32:35
John, also a report about Gassama, starting but he never scored.

25 Sep 2026 16:35:36
Man City found guilty, good news for football fans, I can only wonder what punishment is coming.

25 Sep 2026 18:11:41
Step forward but you can now expect Man City to lodge an appeal and drag this out even longer. Its a disgrace tgat this has taken so long.

25 Sep 2026 18:31:08
Good news, I think our Ed01 will be happy with that.

{Ed001's Note - I am disappointed they got away with one of the charges!}

25 Sep 2026 20:53:14
They could get docked 40 points and it still wouldn't save Spurs from being in the bottom 3😜.
