Rangers banter 4

12 May 2026 17:12:19
If Lewandowski took a 99% pay cut for a two year contract, would you sign him?

12 May 2026 18:23:15
Player manager.

12 May 2026 18:26:01
Absolutely. 🙏

12 May 2026 19:13:47
I don't think he would come, but I certainly would take him. From watching some Barca games this season, he still has great quality. Which is what makes me convinced he'll have finer suitors elsewhere.

12 May 2026 21:51:53
We can but dream, would take that deal in a heartbeat.

12 May 2026 15:43:52
Is it possible Andrew Cavanagh and the new Board are looking to the new season as their first season with all their own staff and players in the door with no previous board influences.
I know it hurts to lose out in the manner we have, but was winning the league in a business sense a 'nice to have' rather than a 'must have'? especially after the whole Russell Martin and Kevin Thelwell tenure.

12 May 2026 16:44:33
So, Jasper, do u reckon he is going to sack the board members here before he arrived.

12 May 2026 16:51:37
What's your thoughts, John? Do you think Rohl will be leaving?

12 May 2026 17:03:58
Montrose, how many times pal Danny Rohl has been told within the last 48 hours by Andrew Cavanagh that they back him 100% to build his own Rangers team. Rohl will be our head coach for next season, that's it. 🤔

12 May 2026 17:12:04
Fingers crossed, SWS. 🙏

12 May 2026 17:25:33
I see the "who should we sign" brigade have started with about 20 names already. Normally in close season or open window time I get caught up in the rumour mill and hang on every word certain posters say. However, this close season I'm leaving till I see Haaland or such being paraded at Ibrox.
Have a nice summer y'all.

12 May 2026 17:30:27
Danny Rohl has supposedly been assured his job is safe. However, does Rohl want to stay at Rangers or move to a job where he is nearer his young family?

12 May 2026 18:18:27
Montrose, u ask what u choose.

imo, the question really ought to be: does Rohl want to stay? If not, goodbye.

I've been very clear, the owner, from day one, wants him to see out his contract.

My view of Rohl is he is struggling, mb that's down to dreadful players.

12 May 2026 18:20:27
John,
As you know, those board members that remained from before the takeover are now the minority, so I would think have little influence on the decision making. My question was more to do with next season being the first season with all the new owners, movers n shakers, in place.

12 May 2026 18:28:51
Rohl has said he absolutely wants to stay as Rangers manager. His words were 100% from his side; he wants to remain, so, John, you either believe him or you don't, pretty simple I think. 🤔

12 May 2026 18:37:52
SWS, exactly, mate. How many times is the question? Maybe ask yourself it as well, bud.

12 May 2026 18:47:53
Cool, Jasper, can't see Thornton being pushed out. He is still a big hitter on the board.

Walter, I'm allowed my opinion. A man asks me a question, I answer it.

And, I don't believe him, why r three is backroom staff seeking to go.

12 May 2026 18:53:45
Guys, Rohl ain't going nowhere and rightly so. Like many, I'm not convinced, but the guy at least needs a fair crack at it; it would only be fair. For those wanting Gerrard, would he have stopped 10iar if he wasn't given time? We would be sending out the message that if you can't do it in 3 quarters of a season, you're out, is that really what we want to become? I totally get the concerns, but let's be fair and give him a good go of it.

The guy is away from family and is obviously committed to us, let's show him some in return.

12 May 2026 19:03:10
That's his backroom team, John, as you put it, not him. 🤔 That's up to you whether you believe Rohl or not. 🤔

12 May 2026 19:04:23
Absolutely, Boy blue. 👍 Well said, mate. 👌 🇬🇧

12 May 2026 19:05:35
If you are Rohl and have any doubts about remaining at our club or are homesick and want to return home, he would be saying the same things. Only he knows, but any manager with a jacket on a shaky peg will sit in post and hope for a contract termination compromise. Personally, I think he will start the season in charge.

12 May 2026 19:19:47
Maybe his backroom staff are struggling with the requirements of this club. Football now pays a decent wage, even within the lower reaches, without stressing you out. Players signed were expected to canter Scottish football. Sometimes the big jobs aren't what they seem.

12 May 2026 19:40:41
How many times, pal? He's only asking a question sws. I myself still think Rohl will be away in the summer. And really hope so too. Otherwise we're going to have another trophyless season.

12 May 2026 19:45:54
John, I'm with you on this. I don't believe Rohl either. I know he's come out and said he wants to stay; he's not going to say he's leaving when he maybe doesn't have a job lined up. I just feel there is too much coming out of Germany, with him being on shortlists for clubs and the family thing coming up all the time, for him not to be more in it.

Hope I don't upset SWS with saying this, as he seems to know and no one else is allowed an opinion.

12 May 2026 15:04:27
Leaked pics of new shirt put up on Sightings page.

12 May 2026 15:48:32
Jasper, seen it, mate, another belter. 👌

I thought that jersey was said to be a fake. 🤔

12 May 2026 17:05:50
We seen the pinstripe jersey a couple of weeks back, and it was deemed fake, but I do like it. 👌
Very smart. 👌 🇬🇧

12 May 2026 18:21:45
The ones leaked before were Turkey specials, as the back of shirt sponsor has changed.

12 May 2026 18:30:16
So Jasper, you reckon this is our new home jersey, mate? Only asking, mate, I don't doubt you. 🤔

12 May 2026 20:04:17
If it's pics of our players wearing it, then this will 100% be our new home shirt. It's just amazing how the designs get leaked to Turkey.
I think this looks a cracker. I hope we stick to our shirts being Red White Blue for away and 3rd strips.

12 May 2026 14:27:38
Now we can all discuss and focus on who Danny Rohl should sign for next season. 🤔 Just off the top of my head i think we should sign pierce Charles, X2 right backs luca Stephenson and trovossas or hampus skoglund, Luke Graham, James Penrice, Elliot watt, Elijah just plus another winger and Curtis returning from Kilmarnock, another striker. 🤔

12 May 2026 15:36:10
I'd prefer we go for 2 wide players in the Sima/Cerny mould. Players who can come in and get the numbers we have been missing for about a decade, players who are more experienced.

I know with ASO signing, even that can be hard to do, but that is the key area in the team we have been lacking imo.

I don't mind signing Just, but more as an option than to be the main man.



Agree with a new GK, done with Butland. Genuinely feel he has caused a lot of our issues these last few games. While he is there, I think we continue to beat the press by hoofing it up the park rather than playing through teams.

RB is another easy win in the squad. Anyone who remains fit and can get up and down the park will be a big improvement.

12 May 2026 15:50:41
His best signing will be bringing in an experienced, talented number 2 that can motivate some of these wasters.

12 May 2026 15:58:59
Luca Stephenson, the midfielder who was covering right back for Dundee Utd. I think we need better than him and don't see us signing him. The Motherwell players, I think, it depends on if the manager goes to Celtic or not, and also the price, as I think they will want decent money for them.

The goalkeeper, I've not seen much of him, but if he's as good as people on here are making out, I think he will be out our price range. The right backs I've not seen play, so can't comment on them.

12 May 2026 16:02:35
Ferguson (c)
Shankland
Max Johnston
Penrice
Watt
An experienced CB
Like Graham
Maswanise
An experienced CM
Another winger

Blend of Scots, experience and some flair.

12 May 2026 16:22:40
Why would we spend millions on Shankland now for a 30 year old when we could have got him for free?

That makes no business sense to me.

12 May 2026 16:36:17
Right wing/ wide mid has been a massive problem for us this season. ASO was supposed to provide a solution, but hasn't hit the mark, unfortunately. An experienced winger in the mould of Cerny would be a start. Someone whose numbers are good, provides goals and assists.

12 May 2026 16:45:31
Walter, why would u sign just.

12 May 2026 17:06:52
To play on the wing, why else, John? 🤔 Pretty obvious I would have thought, mate. 🤔

12 May 2026 17:10:27
Foolmonty, you could say exactly the same about Antman, he came with a very good Rep, but it seems the jersey is too big for him.

Not the first time that a player just seems to wilt at Rangers.

12 May 2026 18:25:27
Antman always looks unfit to me. He looks shattered anytime he plays.

12 May 2026 19:41:38
Stephenson. 😂😂

12 May 2026 20:13:06
We are not signing Ferguson or Shankland.

12 May 2026 14:05:01
The fact it is not Rohl's team and the fact he only had 1 transfer window in neither here nor there.

He plays players out of position.
He is unable to change things when it is not working.
He waits too long to make subs.
He has no system or style of play.
It would appear that he is unable to get players up for some games judging by the way some of them just go through the motions.

What makes people think next season will be any different?

12 May 2026 15:13:02
Next season Rohl will have benefited from a summer transfer window. Then, he will get to work with a squad of his own players. I fully expect new wingers to come in, a new defense needs to be bought, and we could finally solve our number 6 issue if the rumours about Watt are true. Things could be very different indeed.

12 May 2026 15:20:52
It's simple, would any of the past managers survive finishing 3rd after the investment in the team? Answer is no. He / whoever's in charge should be gone. Remove the name, simply look at the outcome, it doesn't meet the investment and our expectation. We should not celebrate failure, and that's what it is, a massive embarrassment for a club of our stature.

12 May 2026 15:30:45
Rab, Just remember, before Rohl a big majority said we'd struggle getting into the top six. Him getting us back in the challenge, he at least deserves a pre season and more quality added. Far too fast some of our fans, the real season we go trophies less the majority of the time now. Maybe a bit of patience is required from all.

12 May 2026 15:32:56
Sure, let's just ignore all the factors that make things difficult so we can only focus on his faults.

12 May 2026 15:56:58
Slim Jim, not to seem argumentative, but if it is up to Danny to "get the players up for some games" surely that is down to the players. If they cannot get up for a game, they are in the wrong profession. Remember, these guys get a helluva amount of money only some of us can dream of a week. As you were saying, going through the motions, I think there has been, and still are, players in the team going through the motions for most of the season.

These guys don't seem to realise what a privilege it is to be playing for our club. Regarding, again, getting up for some games, they seemed to be able to do that when Russell Martin left, as up to the split we had only lost 2 games in the league. I honestly, personally think these guys are too pampered, taking them away to Spain. The guys need to grow a pair and start earning their money, either put up or P*** off.

12 May 2026 15:59:52
It's just blind faith from many on here. What are they actually seeing that they like? No structure and permanent softness.

12 May 2026 16:00:01
#Real reason.

12 May 2026 16:08:26
It's manager/coach job to get players motivated, I've only seen us play ok under Rohl, and that was 4-2 win over Hearts.

12 May 2026 16:52:31
Mr Rangers, surely the £20k + going into your bank account every week is not motivation enough. Not counting your own personal pride and being able to go home at the end of the week saying I earned my money this week and every other week.

12 May 2026 16:59:18
100% you're correct, but players play for managers, ie run through brick walls. Why aren't ours?

12 May 2026 18:07:59
People said this squad wasn't good enough to win the league and have been 100% proved right. We will not win a league with Rohl as head coach. 6 wins in 16 games against the top 6, and some think this is acceptable. 🤦‍♂️ Banged on about 5 cup finals and lost 3 of them out of 3, so the last two don't matter.

Also pumped out both cups to Celtic even though we have been told we have a better starting 11 and squad, 7 points behind them in the league and 8 points behind Hearts. 🤦‍♂️ He has to go.

12 May 2026 18:31:00
Well said, Storm, here here!

12 May 2026 19:22:18
I personally think they have got away with murder ever since SG left, as the managers who have came in are not of the same stature as SG, as he has played the game and knows what winning is all about, seems that some managers have a total different approach, also I again personally think they are to mollycoddled, and you can't raise your voice to them, I have been following Rangers since the early 70's when as you said these guys would run through a brick wall for a few bob a week, and played with more pride than these guys nowaday's.

Imagine Wullie Waddell or Jock Wallace getting a hold of these guys, even latterly Graeme Souness or Walter Smith, they would have known what hit them, possibly a fist

13 May 2026 02:12:06
Jotgalbertz 11, imagine Big Jock taking them down to the dunes for a wee while, lol. Half of them would rezine straight away. Half an hour max, most would put in a transfer request.

12 May 2026 13:41:14
Am I right in saying Celtic win the Scottish Cup we then move into the Europa league play offs?

12 May 2026 15:01:54
I looked into that very subject today. I believe that is indeed the case, and it would also mean whoever finishes 5th in the league would then also claim a Conference League place. It would be ironic, though, if Robbie Fraser ended the season with a Scottish Cup winners' medal after being sold and deemed surplus by Russell Martin at the start of the season.

Theoretically he could be playing in a higher tier of European football in July than Rangers will be.

12 May 2026 15:23:40
Not play offs, no. Round 3. If we then didn't win that we drop to Conference play offs.

12 May 2026 15:27:27
If Celtic win, we are EL; if DAFC win, we are ECL.
