@Fork checking in. Missing the one liners and the witty retorts.
Hope all is good?

28 Dec 2025 07:06:35
I'm fine Pieter, still keeping an eye in, but just chilling for a bit bud👍.

28 Dec 2025 08:00:27
Glad to hear you're ok Fork 🙏I enjoy your posts on here and you're a good poster knowledgeable and funny 😁take care pal 🙏.

28 Dec 2025 12:01:33
Get off your knees Walter, but true 😂.

28 Dec 2025 12:45:56
I've always had a lot of time for Fork Waltersguitar 👍even when he's having a go at me he does it in a nice off the cuff funny way 😁I can take it and give it where Fork is concerned 👍🇬🇧.

27 Dec 2025 22:48:04
Well another lackluster performance but it is the result that matters.

Sterling looked far more comfortable than Souttar who I hope is nearing the end of his Rangers career.

Tavernier was himself 3 years past being an adequate squad player.

Belgian international posted missing once again although never picked up on as he is supposed captain material.

Dio frustrating again as I know he is technically one of the most gifted midfielders in Scotland but doesn't prove it enough.

Barron was energetic and tried. Great squad player for me but not the 6 we need.

Thelo very easy to criticize but done more than our £20m midfielder and evidently more than our strikers managed.

Gassama really hope he can add more to his game.

Chermiti - lost for words again, like Barron was energetic and tried but ultimately done very little.

Butland- great performance from a much maligned goalkeeper. Done what he is paid to do but we need better soon as his distribution is a hindrance.

Miovski - many clamoured for his signing but in my opinion Chermiti is even a better option.

Unfortunately as I discussed with others during the live chat we have a leadership group of cowards and pretenders. We have a squad paid over the odds with very little quality.

The one bright light in recent weeks has been Danny Röhl.
He is a breath of fresh air and he and his coaching staff have worked miracles with the horror that they have to work with.

Where is the next Ferguson going to come from? Leaders that make good players around them excellent. We don't even have the leadership skills to make woeful players less woeful.

27 Dec 2025 23:12:59
I actually gave up on the live chat today after about 5 minutes.

Just like the forum in general it feels like it's 75% relentless player bashing, 24% fellow poster bashing and 1% chat about football.

Grim times indeed.

27 Dec 2025 23:15:31
For once I totally disagree with your comments and contradict yourself re Chermiti lost for words, Miovski Chermiti better, Butland good keeper but cannot kick a ball, Souttar first game for a month, Aphelion take off your Norwegian specks as we say?

27 Dec 2025 23:30:11
It was a hard fought 3 points. That's all we can ask for until Rohl gets his own players in.
I, like many, thought Barron was excellent today and got MOTM and will only get better with quality additions around him as will Gassama and Aasgaard imo.


You are 100% correct about Tav.
Chermiti needs sold or loaned out but Miovski will score goals if we create the chances.
Still lots of football to be played but if we get it right in the transfer window we can push on!

27 Dec 2025 23:33:15
Aphelion, agree with a lot you say. Chermiti is best option but views on Barron in my opinion are so wide of the mark. He was more than just energetic. He is young and leading by example.

Dogged, tenacious, drives forward. Looking to pass the ball forward.
If he didn't have to cover the length of the pitch sometimes to cover lacy team mates I think he would be even better.

27 Dec 2025 23:42:47
Offering Souttar a 2 yr deal. It's not a stupid move. Unless you have better in the buidling currently which we don't. You cut him in or watch him leave then have to replace for a good few quid. I trust Danny can see the value in that logic.

Phase him out from a position of strength not weakness. Is he a saviour? No. is he useless? No! He has merits in this league of ours. Do I think he should be a starter? No. Do I believe he should be a starter currently? Yes!

28 Dec 2025 00:38:41
Barron was fantastic today and has been for a good while now.

28 Dec 2025 04:42:39
A decent striker would have had 2 or 3 with those chances at the end. Miovski looks so immobile and awkward, you'd think he was at the wrong side of 30 going by his all round play. Hard to believe he's mid 20s.

28 Dec 2025 06:27:55
As always like and respect you as a poster on this site Aphelion, you know that mate but i have to disagree with you mainly on connor Barron my friend 🤔I honestly don't know what more you and the likes of storm want to see from this young, combative midfielder to actually see what he does for the team. 😲

He's the type of midfielder breaker that does the often unnoticed donkey work in midfield well that then sets the tempo and gives the platform for our more technical midfielders to flourish. 🤔

Every successful team needs this type of midfielder 🤔On Raskin yesterday much improved performance from him especially in the second half and not before time, as he's been well off if for weeks now. 🤔

We need another striker of that there's little doubt but Chermiti for me mate is nowhere near a better option than Miovski and Miovski would be the only one of the three i'd keep at Rangers. 🤔

I'd get Chermiti out on loan with an option to buy, for any club hopefully interested and i'd sell Danilo absolutely and he's never been a central striker for me, he's a second striker, if anything at all. 🤔I would absolutely sell dio if we can receive a decent offer and i'd probably let Lyall Cameron go out on loan and depending who we can bring in, i'd consider letting Findlay Curtis go out on loan 🤔As for big Souttar, he's getting a new deal mt friend and i agree with that. 🤔

I agree with you regarding Danny Rohl as i think once he gets his own players and stamp on his Rangers team, he'll be a really good head coach for Rangers 👌🇬🇧Now let's see what the january transfer window brings for us 🤔 hopefully good, experienced/exciting signings to help Rohl 🙏.

28 Dec 2025 06:52:37
Agree 100 % SWS. Barron was MOTM. The wee guy was everywhere yesterday.

28 Dec 2025 07:38:42
Raskin has been off it all season not weeks! Bar his 4/5 months last season this is what he is. Move him on ASAP.

28 Dec 2025 07:46:31
Sorry Aph Barron was MOTM by a country mile, said it after 10 mins into game he would be MOTM.

28 Dec 2025 08:40:20
Why should we give Souttar a new deal? He has been a huge factor in why we concede a lot of goals. I understand the home grown factor but I don't think that's enough to warrant a new deal.

28 Dec 2025 08:40:28
I agree you do tend to big up your country men quite a lot aphelion. Every player you post about as a good signing is near enough always Scandinavian. Not saying they aren't good suggestion but shouldn't be the only suggestions.

And as far as it goes with Connor Barron, I agree with SWS. He has been a stand out in a very poor side albeit. But he can only do his part and he is doing it well for me.

28 Dec 2025 09:12:01
Souttar at this stage has rejected two offers from Rangers, not a rise that he finds acceptable walter.

28 Dec 2025 09:58:25
I'm not even going to be respectful here Aphelion. Your 'opinion' about Barron is completely idiotic and if you don't think Barron is progressing at our club then you really don't know what you are talking about.

EHL is right. The player bashing on here is awful and unfortunately us arguing with each other is what we need to do to challenge each other's opinions to get fans to support the team. If you can't see the progress young Barron is making and think he needs replacing then I think fans like YOU need replacing.

28 Dec 2025 10:01:39
Aph, completely agree regarding Rohl.

28 Dec 2025 09:37:53
I always attempt to speak fully about football and feel that giving my assessment on certain players still falls into the category of speaking about football.

Scrambled, I don't believe I contradicted myself at all.

I am lost for words at Chermiti, but feel that he at least offers energy and effort where I don't feel Miovski offers anything at all at the moment.

I feel we are improving with Danny Röhl but our core group need to start performing.

I don't believe my opinions to be with any sort of "specs".
I feel I have given an objective assessment of the players based on what I see.

28 Dec 2025 10:19:50
what the same Souttar who is part of the stingiest defence in the SPL 🙈.
we have a team struggling a little. but still they beat Motherwell who hadn't conceded in 6 games and we should have won by more.

we have pulled in the most points in the 10 games in which Rohl has been here in the league. How about trying to support them for once and see if that helps with their mentality and confidence.

28 Dec 2025 12:14:14
Angus well said mate. Some people acruallt are just used to complaining now and so look for what's worth complaining for each day.

28 Dec 2025 12:24:22
Souttar does not deserve a pay rise, squad player at best.

28 Dec 2025 12:26:43
Thing I find rather strange is with men that say they know that game but can't see the massive improvement in Barron.

28 Dec 2025 13:15:03
There has been improvement in Barron but that doesn't mean he's good enough. What I find strange is men that claimed to have played the game as a pro but have spectacularly backed every failure 🤦‍♂️.

27 Dec 2025 21:03:49
We don't need a similar style midfielder in cammy devlin when we have the superb connor Barron in our midfield 🥊As the saying goes amongst us bears 'the world is covered by 71% water and the rest is covered by connor Barron 👌🇬🇧 Superb attitude he has with a terrific midfield engine and does the ugly work superbly well 👌the wee man will most definitely do for me 👍 He's like our former midfielder stuart mccall for me a combative terrier in midfield who breaks up opposition play and just never stops 👌🇬🇧.

27 Dec 2025 21:23:40
100%. He was superb today and needs to be kept at Ibrox.

27 Dec 2025 21:49:59
Two players for every position 👍🤞🤔👏👌🇬🇧🇬🇧.

27 Dec 2025 21:51:55
Had a good game and is tenacious like mcall was but to be as good as Stuart he needs to go up a few levels and score the odd goal too.

27 Dec 2025 22:11:38
Barron puts in more effort than any player we have but he's not good enough to take us to the level that we need to be at.

27 Dec 2025 22:23:28
Got to say SWS Stuart McCall is always the former player I'm reminded of when I watch Connor Barron. Every team needs a few of those players to really thrive.

27 Dec 2025 22:31:53
SWS we now need the creative players around him to get us playing our attacking game more effectively. we have stopped leaking simple goals in moist games but need to do more going forward. also a new DCM will help him develop more.

27 Dec 2025 23:37:06
Absolutely Angus we are missing a football iq in the forward roles. Noone that can create, spot a defence splitting pass. We are lacking midfielder who take a chance and go beyond the forward line.
Motherwell today were great at running from deep and at angles to break the line.

28 Dec 2025 04:41:23
'As the saying goes amongst us bears 'the world is covered by 71% water and the rest is covered by connor Barron'

😂

You are the only person that's ever said that.

28 Dec 2025 06:30:54
Good post Angus and i agree with you my friend 👍🇬🇧.

28 Dec 2025 06:32:35
Huistra i also agree with your post mate and i was also impressed with motherwell yesterday and the shape their manager has them playing in 🤔.

28 Dec 2025 07:47:58
They beat a team to move up the league all we can ask. Every player that won us 55 and got us to the Europa league final has been slated on here no idea what chance anyone else will have.

28 Dec 2025 10:23:53
we also need to remember that Stuart McCall was 27 when he joined us and had just left Everton. Barron is still just 23 and will develop further given the right coaching and an experienced player alongside him teaching him the role.

28 Dec 2025 12:16:48
ScottW no he is not I have seen it all over social media pal.

27 Dec 2025 19:54:09
Danny said basically he had to stop us conceding now we have to get better the top half of the pitch. he's got a plan i'm sure a style will become more apparent as he gets in the style of player we need.

27 Dec 2025 20:25:35
Really impressed with Rohl.
Comes across well in his interviews.
Some difference between him and Martin.

27 Dec 2025 21:11:27
Apparently all we need is 11 Barrons and we will be fine ows.

27 Dec 2025 21:53:04
Games would probably all end up 0-0 with 11 Barrons.

27 Dec 2025 22:09:23
Storm surely you can be a bigger man than that? 🤷.

28 Dec 2025 06:36:32
That's a stupid post storm and not one of us on here who's absolutely correctly praising Barron has said that 🤔I take it midfield wasn't your position IF you played the game yourself 🤔.

28 Dec 2025 07:49:28
Rohl still to impress imho, no style as of yet maybe once he gets some of his own players in, team selections at times questionable and subs erratic, like i say my opinion.

27 Dec 2025 18:32:24
Thought today was a bit better than previous showings. Isn't it a funny game when people think Barron is not good enough to play for us, today he gave a performance that I thought was exemplary, he puts his heart and soul In to it and was vital in breaking up the Motherwell attacks and driving us forward. As good as he was how bad again was Diomande, he must be dropped he's an invisible man let's hope Cameron can push on now and take his place.

Tav as well has to be replaced by Sterling with Souttar and Fernandez as CBs. Gassama is certainly our most potent attacking force and I also thought he did very well today. With injured players coming back DR should have a clearer idea of his best starting 11.

27 Dec 2025 18:47:16
Barron was outstanding today.
He showed he can play forward thinking mf role briallianrly today.

Anyone who says he's not worth £5m+ must be blind or dowsnt know football. He's a cracking wee player.

If we sold him to Italy he'll be a superstar over there.

Dare I say it, I think he will be better than Lewis Ferguson in a years time.

27 Dec 2025 18:48:18
It's a pity we don't have Eleven Derek Johnstone's, totally agree with everything he said, Nice One Derek👏👏.

27 Dec 2025 19:07:47
Watp62

After that speech I hope he went in and spoke to the players at half time as that was absolutely bang on the money.

27 Dec 2025 19:39:55
Really enjoyed the game today and thought we were well deserving of the 3 points.

Only criticism is that we don't seem to be able to dominate for any prolonged period.

We dominate in spells and then seem to sit back and let the opposition get a foothold.

Good hard fought victory.

27 Dec 2025 19:59:48
Could that be down to a poor pre season and the players aren't fit enough for it EHL.

27 Dec 2025 20:06:56
Barron is only improving, turning in a top player for Rangers, so glad having Sterling back, same with Souttar, Fernandez has done a fair bit of improvement in around ten games.
Sterling Souttar Fernandez Meghoma would be my back four for the Celtic game.

27 Dec 2025 20:18:42
Fully agree EHL.

Until we can extend those dominant spells we'll keep giving teams oxygen.

Maybe not the place to say but I enoyed watching Motherwell their passing lanes were really positive and clever for about 20 minutes they overloaded well pulled our midfield wider than we wanted, and played through the us a few times. It wasn't just us switching off they forced some of it with good movement.

Once we reset and tightened the distances again, the game swung back our way albeit in stages.
Hard‑fought, deserved win, but as you say still work to do in terms of sustained control and finishing teams off.

27 Dec 2025 20:27:12
My star, Sterling is massive for us.

27 Dec 2025 20:35:30
FLB, it's no doubt a factor, however I actually thought we looked to have really good energy levels today - so hopefully the conditioning of the squad is shifting.

I actually think there's three reasons we can't sustain any dominant spells,

1- out pressing game is poor and breaks down far to easily.

2 - we are guilty of slowing the game down far to often

3 - we aren't clinical enough when we are dominant.

Hearing Rohls interview it's clear the team have been working hard to make us better defensively, so hopefully we bow start to see things progressing in our attacking play.

27 Dec 2025 21:13:41
Better than lewis Ferguson soon 🤦‍♂️ I needed a laugh. He couldn't lace Ferguson boots.

27 Dec 2025 21:21:02
Nae bother storm. Time will show.

When Ferguson was in Scotland 90% of Rangers fans didn't want him.

Don't know what camp u were in. Not really interested tbh. U obviously don't know much about football with your opinions on Barron.

27 Dec 2025 22:01:19
Thanks EHL.

27 Dec 2025 22:10:48
Derek Johnstone never played in goal and he's now 72.

27 Dec 2025 22:20:07
C'mon Stevie, better than Lewis Ferguson? You're having a laugh. 90% of Rangers fan were wrong to not want Ferguson.

I thought it was another awful performance today from the team. What parts of the game did you enjoy EHL and what area of coaching are you involved in?

I agree regarding Sterling, he's a key player for us and I hope that he can stay fit.

27 Dec 2025 22:29:24
Who is going to give us 5m+ for Barron, is that same one that will pay 20m for Raskin.

27 Dec 2025 22:49:23
Agree Stevie always rated Baron think he will prove you correct.

27 Dec 2025 22:53:24
We created many chances today.

27 Dec 2025 22:58:16
No worries FLB

Jason, completely agree. Thought Motherwell were excellent and you could see how well drilled they were.

Still frustrates me that we don't seem to have players on the pitch that can adapt during to close those channels down.

27 Dec 2025 23:47:49
Jasp Barton is worth more than 5 mil plus.
Are you and storm related 🤔.
It Beggars belief how he can turn out consistent performances and you still think he is rubbish.
Honestly I genuinely believe unless a player is from foreign soil and wears a different coloured national top some guys on here would not give them credit.

Barron is the best consistent player in team.

28 Dec 2025 00:47:43
Barron is worth more than £5m now to be totally honest I wouldn't sell him, if players are values on potential and Barrons keeps growing then his value keeps going up. It's not rocket science.

We always undervalue our players then when some of us try to big them up a wee buy we get shot down.

Raskin is worth more than£20m as he's a current Belgian 11 starting mf it really isn't hard to work that out man.

Barron is worth more than £5m and is be quatimg £7m rising g to £10m in order to put clubs off as he's going to keep getting better.

I did not say he is better I said in a years time he in a years time. I think I will be proven right too.
With that years time will have had 2 windows to strengthen his team mates and squad and 11. he's only going to get better.

Ferguson had a bad injury and really hasn't re found the form he had in season 1

I don't think I'm over the top to say what I've said.

28 Dec 2025 03:24:31
Nothing to do with where players come from.
we await 5m+ dids for Barron which can be reinvested in team.
Do you think Barron will be going to WC maybe after that he will be worth more.

28 Dec 2025 06:45:29
Absolutely bang on the money Huistra👍no need to add anything to your post pal 👍🇬🇧.

28 Dec 2025 10:19:38
Stevie, that's a great assessment of Barron's current value and potential. Looking forward, I can only see that value growing.

We definitely don't give our own guys enough credit when it's due.

28 Dec 2025 12:29:23
Jim thank u mate. Glad u can see what I'm trying to put across mate.

Not saying Barron is a £10m finished article I'm saying he's got so much potential that I'd over value him in order to put clubs off so he can reach his potential with us and then be sold for his value.

Hes Raskin a replacement for me.

Jasp I would say No to World Cup mate.

I think Steve Clarke will stick with the lads who got us there he's a very loyal manager who works in cycles. I can't say that's wrong.

If he continues to play like he has and maybe adds a few goals then he'll give Clarke a headache that's for sure.
Aftet World Cup he'll be in every squad.
