Rangers banter 4

15 Feb 2026 18:50:26
Credit to Danny for sticking by and selecting Chermiti who played prob as well as he has for us grabbing a hat trick. It wasn't pretty at times but the team showed togetherness and some good quality to battle back twice.

Can we improve definitely will we get better definitely but we are right in this race and have as good a chance as the other 2.

15 Feb 2026 19:39:50
I just hope he can build consistency from that performance. Having 2 * 6 foot 4 inch strikers can be very daunting. Would love to see him come good.

15 Feb 2026 18:17:39
I don't know if we are going to win this game. But Hearts starting to get a lot of joy down our right side was directly related to taking Sterling off.

15 Feb 2026 17:31:14
Am I missing something with Skov Olsen?? Yet to see him go at a defender. All simple passes with very little creativity.

15 Feb 2026 17:55:27
Give the guy a chance.

15 Feb 2026 18:35:27
I don't think he is fully fit. Danny is taking a chance on him. Great touches, control, and deliveries.

15 Feb 2026 18:45:26
He was absolutely brilliant today, i thought.

15 Feb 2026 19:30:49
I think he's a good player (stating the obvious), and I think he'll prove a good signing this season.

However, I don't know that we should pay another GBP 7-8m on top of it all to keep him.

I don't know that he's good enough to justify GBP 16m over a four-year spell.

Cerny, for me, is better. Just my opinion.

15 Feb 2026 19:43:36
Cerny is nowhere near as talented as Skov. Put it on a sixpence for Chermiti header. Skov is still settling in, and is rusty. He will come good.

15 Feb 2026 19:51:43
Wilkins, we're Rangers fans. Giving players a chance is not something we do.

15 Feb 2026 19:52:10
Stevie Cerny offered absolutely nothing at the start of his Rangers career.

Cerny is remembered over the course of an entire season, yet Skov Olsen doesn't even get a single whole month before getting written off.

Embarrassing.

15 Feb 2026 19:53:51
I just watched a YouTube video of him, and he operated completely differently from when he plays for us. At the moment, I cannot justify the GBP 8m or so fee he commands. I thought he was going to be a Cerny replacement. I genuinely hope he becomes good very soon.

15 Feb 2026 20:13:09
Spot on, Otter. 👍👍

15 Feb 2026 20:45:16
I personally think Cerny was more effective in games from what I've seen so far, but you are right, there were calls for Cerny to go early on too. It's just the way it is in Glasgow. You better get used to it, Aph. 😁 Fickle bunch.

15 Feb 2026 22:49:55
Wow, wow, wow, lads.

I said simply, I think Cerny is better than Olsen.

I've not said a thing against Olsen there.

It's my opinion comparing them.

I think Olsen will have a good few months. What I've said is I don't know if that's enough to convince me to spend GBP 7-9m and 35k a week for 4 years on him.



I think that's a fair comment to make, no?

If we had only GBP 20m to spend in summer, would I spend GBP 9m on him?

I don't think I would.

15 Feb 2026 22:52:01
If he was GBP 6m, I'd say a million percent jump at it.

GBP 9m is a lot for Scotland, guys.

I rate him, and I think he'll be a great signing come May. GBP 9m, though, I'm not sure.

15 Feb 2026 23:12:20
Aphe, Cerny scored on his debut as a sub, I am sure, although I might be wrong, and also scored a double in Europe early in his career. He was better than fans gave him credit for, mate.

I rate Olsen, so don't get that mixed up with me. I'm saying, is he worth GBP 16m over his contract to us? That's all I've said, mate.

15 Feb 2026 23:32:59
Had a wee read at his stats there and he had 6 goals in 4 games with 4 wins and 2 match winning goals in the Europa group for us.

Before December, he had an absolute blunder for us. I think he got injured or suspended, didn't he?

4 games, 4 wins, 6 goals.

That's not too shabby, Aphe, mate, c'mon.

2 against Steaua and 2 against Fenerbahce in the Round of 16.

If Olsen can do that, he'll do fine. Haha.

15 Feb 2026 16:13:22
Moore and Chermiti are more than fortunate to start after their performance mid week. I'm not convinced with this 11. Happy to be proven wrong.

15 Feb 2026 18:51:05
How did that work out for you, Lmac?

15 Feb 2026 18:58:02
Don't know what to say tbh.

15 Feb 2026 18:35:22
That didn't age well, L-Mac.

15 Feb 2026 18:36:19
Chermiti is starting to score some important goals.

15 Feb 2026 18:37:36
You're wishing you could delete posts, eh? 😂

15 Feb 2026 18:38:34
Happy now? L-Mac17.

15 Feb 2026 15:57:14
I wish the ref would let the clock run until we get a winner too. we'd have a few more points on the board too.

15 Feb 2026 16:25:37
Never seen their game. Was the 3 hrs injury time justified?

15 Feb 2026 17:23:21
We'll never win this league. 97 minutes again. We never get luck like they do.

15 Feb 2026 17:29:46
2 games in a row, they have been given more extra time than needed. They can't hide it anymore.

15 Feb 2026 19:05:42
They must be embarrassed by how much help they're getting from the officials. Can't be down to luck anymore.

15 Feb 2026 19:14:52
It's not luck, it's biased referees.

15 Feb 2026 20:45:23
It's 10 subs and two head knocks. The other night it was similar; I think it was 12 or 13 subs and a concussion substitute. Tin foil away, guys, stooping to their level. Yes, it's annoying they get out of jail. I've moaned about it too. Their luck will run out.

15 Feb 2026 15:36:40
Is it 2 up with Chermiti and Naderi.

15 Feb 2026 16:26:15
Chermiti will play as a 10, mate, I think.

15 Feb 2026 15:02:43
Is Raskin injured or on the bench.

15 Feb 2026 11:37:16
Butland
Sterling
Souttar
Fernandez
Rommens
Raskin
Chuckwani
Moore
Antman
Olson
Naderi

15 Feb 2026 12:02:13
Spot on, mate.

15 Feb 2026 12:25:14
Good team apart from Souttar.

15 Feb 2026 12:29:45
I like that team, Stu.

15 Feb 2026 12:35:16
Diomande has been one of our better performers recently, so I wouldn't be taking him out of the team. Moore, as well, lost possession far too many times the other night and couldn't keep it, so if he starts, that has to be much better.
Does Antman warrant a start?
Need to wait and see.

15 Feb 2026 13:21:21
Hearts will come tearing at us from the start, we need to up our own intensity, which is lacklustre at times, and match them physically from the first whistle. Do we have that as a team?

15 Feb 2026 13:49:47
I would start with Diomande in a midfield three because, to quote Souness, we will need to win the battles and earn the right to play from there. I think Moore in the 10 position leaves us short in midfield, as he's too lightweight to compete in there in a game like this. Start him on the left, coming inside, leaving space for Rommens.

15 Feb 2026 15:00:48
I know it's not going to happen, but I'd like to see.

JB
Sterling, Souttar, Manny, Rommens
Dio, Raskin
Moore
Skov, Miovski, Chermiti.

15 Feb 2026 15:11:36
Good side. Diomande is mince, so hopefully he doesn't start. See what Antman can do. Jury's out on him.

15 Feb 2026 15:32:28
442 today. Naderi and Chermiti up top.

15 Feb 2026 11:24:55
Saw Barjani mentioned isn't he totally forgot about, he's actually quite a clever player should play before Aasgaard, but I think we are seeing DR has his favourites which might haunt him at end of season

15 Feb 2026 12:42:24
I agree, for me he's a better option than Aasgaard, but ideally we would have a more clever, intelligent player in that position.
Moore could turn out to be that player in a few years' time, but, here and now, we don't have that influential 10 that can impact the big games.

15 Feb 2026 13:03:24
Nonsense, he's playing what he considers to be his best team.

15 Feb 2026 13:52:56
Not a big fan of Aasgaard, but Bajrami is no better. He has the same issues. He has obvious talent, but has lacked the heart and physicality to play in Scotland. I don't think Aasgaard will start today, but at least he has pitched in with a goal or two.

It's nothing to do with favourites. Bajrami has done nothing in the 18 months he's been here.
