Rangers banter 4

17 Jan 2026 10:52:12
The change in some of these players is phenomenal, not so many months ago l like many were calling for Moore to be sent back to Spurs, Aasgaard should never wear the shirt again. Some said there was a player there ( you know who you are Asa 🙂).
Antmans first game l thought this guy is class, he then seemed to be scared of the ball in games after his debut.
It makes me think Martin completely destroyed these guys confidence along with most of the team his philosophy, break them down and mould them into the players the wee man in my head says they should be.

Danny looks like he has given them confidence, plays them in positions they are comfortable in and has instilled a play and fight for each other mentality.
This reinforces the fact management does make or break and we have had first hand experience of this. I hope we continue to progress with the new signings and the gaffer driving us forward.
Can't believe the change from a few months ago, long may it continue in the blue blue sea.

17 Jan 2026 11:26:36
Thanks Bunnet my friend, its too easy to write people off.

17 Jan 2026 11:43:21
Our players don't show it in half a dozen games they're just not good enough for many.

17 Jan 2026 12:03:18
I don't think we have any superstars in our ranks, the players just seem to have a new lease of life since DR came in. More self belief and confidence to carry out what's asked of them. Still a long way to go but progress has been good to see compared to RM's tenure.

17 Jan 2026 12:17:04
There's never going to be any superstars in the spl, cuillin.

17 Jan 2026 12:58:33
You're forgetting Chermiti, poor lad took dogs abuse. Folk saying Curtis was miles better than Moore etc. patience is not something a lot of our fan base is blessed with. Even Cerny, was bang average until he had the spat with fans then plays really well and consistent after that and we all wanted the board to spend £7m to keep him.

17 Jan 2026 13:12:32
I hold my hands up and say I thought each one of those players were useless. I am happily 100% wrong. They aren't terrible and have had super guidance.

17 Jan 2026 14:13:24
A lot of our signings over the years never showed it over seasons nevermind half a dozen games. We need a lot better than Gassama, Antman, Meghoma, Djiga etc if we want to be competitive in the EL again. These players have the achievement of our worst ever EL campaign, against some very poor sides.

17 Jan 2026 09:23:58
Another win for Rangers under Rohl.
Hat trick for our much maligned striker.
Wonderful free kick for the vilified midfielder.
Brilliant performance from young Curtis.
Nice wee cameo from Lawson.
But you wouldn't know it on here.
As the site descends into chaos over rumours.
Or to be more precise, certain posters greeting their eyes out because others won't tell all.
And calling out or having digs at certain posters.
Ironically asking for full details of the info from ITK and saying it doesn't matter if it comes to fruition or not.


But then in the next breath questioning the validity of the info on a different rumour.
The Ed set up an ignore button. Some of you are needing to partake in it instead of greeting all the time.
Or scroll past.
Or even just grow up.
You know there is an issue when a wonderful, happy to go lucky poster like Fork says he has had enough.
We are all Rangers ( except for the lurkers,.
Act like it. 🔴⚪️🔵.

17 Jan 2026 09:57:37
It's becoming a farce Mr P and you just beat me to this post.

We're in the best position we've been in for years and are signing what appears to be the best standard of player in a long time - perhaps 20 years.

I don't know why people keep pushing for names like they're entitled to this information, then calling posters out is nuts.

In the same breath I don't get why certain posters get a semi over posting cryptic clues, is that honestly the highlight of their day? Does it given them an extra inch?

People can post whatever they want, if you don't like the smoke and mirrors like me, I just skip past it, let's not keep digging at each other while we're going through a good period. We should all be buzzing.

17 Jan 2026 10:24:29
Lots to be positive about.
Into the next round of the cup and 5 goals playing our fringe players.

17 Jan 2026 10:46:47
Yes loads to be positive about even Matondo looked good - free kick from Theo was ridiculous.

17 Jan 2026 10:55:58
Maybe some of the posters causing negativity on this site are not Rangers fans.

17 Jan 2026 10:57:31
Exactly dado. People can post what they want. You said it yourself.

17 Jan 2026 10:58:21
Here here well said MPH.

17 Jan 2026 10:59:53
And mph are you referring myself? Because I said we want get groetzka? That's not questioning a rumour bud. That's explaining that we won't pay him the salary he will be after lol. Guys on 200k a week. Answer me this? Do u think we will pay that,?

17 Jan 2026 11:27:38
Great post MPH.

17 Jan 2026 11:28:58
OT i think the Goretzka, Rudiger shout has been because I jokingly mentioned them in relation to people saying that we need players that have played under scrutiny like at Rangers.

17 Jan 2026 11:44:31
Mph very good post mate.

17 Jan 2026 12:00:21
Guys we played Annan last night. apart from Aasgaard freekick you can't get excited about anything else!

17 Jan 2026 12:21:12
Maws people are just happy we were able to win at a canter with fringe players. cheer up muka. its Saturday.

17 Jan 2026 14:34:11
Miovski hat trick against any team is a confidence boast for him.

17 Jan 2026 08:53:21
Really happy with Aasgaards recent goal return.

I've never doubted his ability and too many have written him off way too early but I have been critical of his work rate. I think he needs to be a bit busier and more physical or dominant, he's a big unit.

I used the term he's sauntering about with his sisters haircut which annoyed a few (it was a throw away comment) I don't care if it annoyed it but if he can work a bit harder and use his size more we have a really handy tool at our disposal.

17 Jan 2026 09:11:56
Hopefully recent signings will help him and others to up their game. I like how Rohl said he was the next one who had improved. I'm guessing but I think he's taking time to speak with each one to work on their game and it's bearing fruit.

17 Jan 2026 09:21:01
Lmac I think the criticism he is lazy and his work rate is low is due to how we expect football to be played in Scotland as well though; Bajrami was thought of the same. we see Barron and Devlin as being what our MF should look like, hard working and hard tackling. however players like Dio and Aasgaard offer a different option; one who can take the ball in tight situations and create chances and keep attacks moving.


I agree both can be infuriating at times as they will lose the ball trying to do that but I feel we don't look the same without them in the team. Aasgaard has improved recently as well and I think he is a confidence player and if he can keep that going he will be a mainstay.

17 Jan 2026 09:25:24
I believe he's talented.
But Sometimes he looks half arsed in the way he plays.

17 Jan 2026 09:40:06
I think he's struggled with the pace of the game here, we need him to do what he's doing but a lot faster…he's also fairly ineffective because he tends to be receiving the ball too deep, we want him slightly higher up to create or shoot.

Ability is there and it's a shame he wasn't filtered into a good Rangers side gradually he was hyped up and thought of as saviour of the team. I think with better players around him he'll progress with less pressure on his shoulders.

17 Jan 2026 09:40:58
Why would the sisters hair cut annoy anyone L-Mac, a little bit of crack has kept the site light hearted through some grim times to be fair, bang on about Aasgaard he has so much more and if he used his size and quickened his play we could have a player on our hands, he says himself his best asset is shooting just has to get into those positions more and grab ball off tax at shoot able free kicks.

17 Jan 2026 09:21:09
ED, i'm only posting this on a reply post as i can't seem to get my original posts through mate ☹️Can you possibly find out why this is happening ED🤔As always would be very much appreciated pal 👍.

{Ed033's Note - Please use the contact form on here.

17 Jan 2026 10:20:34
I agree with all the above points Gents. He's very slow in getting back in, out of possession and just needs that bit of urgency. In regards to his sisters hair cut Cooper people just go out there way to get offended or upset 🤷🏼‍♂️.

17 Jan 2026 10:31:34
I think the issue with Aasgaard is his work rate, closing down, tracking and movement. That was some strike last night.

17 Jan 2026 10:32:40
Wish I had my sisters hair, I, m a baldy big bas#turd. Mabye curtail that thought, she has purple hair and is a leftie.

17 Jan 2026 11:08:04
I wrote him off LMac. and probably unfairly so tbh. I do now see glimpses of a v talented player, but his lack of work rate still concerns me. Even the most talented players nowadays have an exceptional work rate.

17 Jan 2026 11:46:07
Shota I'm bald as well mate but if I had hair it wouldn't be like that but to be honest when I had it I ran my hands through it. Never used hair product or had a style lol

It's an area he needs to improve Ally but he'll know that mate.

17 Jan 2026 12:14:27
lmac I think that's a misconception because of how relaxed he plays. He definitely sprints to defend, even as recently as the game against Aberdeen he was working his socks off to get back.

Imo it's similar to aribo and Tillman, people said they were lazy because of their style on the ball as opposed to actually seeing the effort they put in off it.

17 Jan 2026 13:23:56
Agree with what most of you guys say regarding thelo Aasgaard 👌His talent never been in question as he has very fast terrific feet and can beat opponents, it's his sort of lazy workrate at times and can be a luxury player 🤔His free kick last night was superb 👌🇬🇧.

17 Jan 2026 14:36:13
Tav my eyes don't lie. He's not busting a gut out of possession and more than a few times folk just glide by him. He'll get better as he adjusts to the physicality (I hope)

17 Jan 2026 08:52:40
Here by any chance did the poster that threw up the dro Fernandez possible interest, see that he was leaving Barcelona and just thought "feck it, I'm bored I'll fire this one in since he said he is leaving Barca" 😂😂. He is leaving Barcelona because he is off to PSG.

17 Jan 2026 09:13:08
Well u did say u wanted more names thrown out there. 😂😂.

17 Jan 2026 09:21:43
OT come on that would be lazy. you need to remember that Rohl knows Hansi Flick as well 😉.

17 Jan 2026 08:46:34
In my personal opinion I'd be holding out for 25m lowest I'd go is 20m for Raskin with at least a 30% of future sales.

17 Jan 2026 09:23:58
Allegedly a club has offered close to what Rangers were wanting for nico Raskin 🤔I'm hearing £15million plus £2.5million in add ons and a 15% future sell on fee 🤔 Still hearing it's a german club, although other clubs are interested 🤔.

17 Jan 2026 09:59:03
That would be a good deal Sir Walter.

He's a good player but not really showing the consistency just now.

17 Jan 2026 10:15:09
Money talks for both club and player.
Wherever Nico ends up, it will be a step for him, and maybe just maybe, his transfer ( if it happens) is what will fund our latest signings?

17 Jan 2026 10:26:58
£15m max I would say and that's a good price. I don't see how we can get more than that when he has been average in a poor Scottish league until very recently.

17 Jan 2026 10:32:51
Which German club?

17 Jan 2026 14:18:46
We are not getting that amount plus 30% sell on the more a club spends the less the sell on will be let's be realistic about it.

18 Jan 2026 01:16:30
Storm
Where did the 30p/c get mentioned?

17 Jan 2026 07:16:23
Anyway, moving away from the mysterious of the Rangers rumours page, what did you all think of Zebedee Lawson (no spring jokes please)? I thought he looked confident, direct, good feet and a nice shift of pace. I'm actually excited for him. He looks a talent.

17 Jan 2026 08:21:38
Was very impressed.

Most importantly, he actually looked like he was enjoying himself.

17 Jan 2026 08:26:06
OT I never watched match as like to spend Friday football free with the family. However I remember his 1/2 game vs St Mirren on his actual debut and he was very impressive then for a young player. he unfortunately got injured and that was it. I actually thought he had moved on.

17 Jan 2026 08:44:19
I enjoyed his performance and a straight after the end of the match it was time for bed.

17 Jan 2026 08:44:21
Angus that was Zak Lovelace mate. And aye he's away. 😂.

17 Jan 2026 09:23:03
Kaiser that explains it 🙈. he was decent as well. same initials and got confused. I wondered why club website had an interview asking about his debut 😜.

17 Jan 2026 09:28:02
You got your players mixed up Angus🤔 - nice MR link JFM 😁😁😁.

17 Jan 2026 09:41:18
Aye last night was his first team debut and his previous debut was also Annan for the u19s.

17 Jan 2026 09:44:35
Done well for first outing and quite a unit, up to him to fight for a bench place after window shut then get more min on pitch, seems a happy go lucky fellow from interview a bit like Bassey was.

17 Jan 2026 10:27:53
I only seen the highlights and his interview. He came across well and seemed delighted.
What position does he play?

17 Jan 2026 10:33:26
He caught my eye.

17 Jan 2026 10:51:04
Bee he's primarily a winger who was 17 in November, we beat a couple off English epl teams to get him from Brighton.

18 Jan 2026 00:57:57
Orange t, in a round about kinda way, no spring jokes allowed.

17 Jan 2026 06:55:33
Can I ask why we aren't sharing names? Who cares if a username on a screen slags you if it doesn't happen?

17 Jan 2026 08:47:44
Paulydon, it's all about power mate and knowledge 🤪🤕🇬🇧✌️.

17 Jan 2026 10:18:21
& 90+% of names, don't happen, so posters don't want the flak!
I tend to wait till end of window and see where things are.

17 Jan 2026 10:19:36
Pauly I think some like to give the impression that they are in the know and like the attention that comes with it. Its very easy to give off this impression. No one knows you on here, you could say that you were an ex player that played the game for example.

For example I could say that we are working closely with a couple of ooc players, hopefully one will be announced this window but both will be signed in the summer.

Or

We are looking to bring in a cb this window.

Or

1dg has someone staying.

These statements are carefully worded and used on here regularly. These are also patterns the club do every window and if we have a problem position then you can easily put 2 + 2 together. The club and Rohl said we would do business quickly this window and would back the manager.

The only poster that I have seen actually name a player is Aphelion with Skov Olsen. He announced it 24 hours before anyone knew and was bang on through the whole process. Very credible.

I'm not saying that there is not other people with information but I don't understand why people can't just say a name for fear of backlash from people on an online forum that they have never met. Its strange behaviour but there's nothing more queer than folk.

Its a rumours page, if you are wrong or right.

17 Jan 2026 10:21:14
It's just the cryptic posts that annoy me to be honest. I get people being cautious but c'mon 😂.

17 Jan 2026 04:27:45
Just searched out of contract bundesliga players

Only "big names" we could maybe attract is Julian brandt emre can iz a kabak andrej kramaric and Mario goetze

That's it. Anyone thinks we get goretzka is smoking funny things look.

17 Jan 2026 03:16:47
I think the sites been pretty friendly and really respectful recently so can I ask where this notion that people don't want to say names they know we're signing or aftet etc?

It's a rumours site more than anything else so is that not the whole point of being on the site?

I know people wil say it's upto them what they do but c'mon to fuc* man. If ye aren't going to say the name don't tell us u know it and basically play a game of I know something u don't know it's not what the sites dor and it's a bit shi* to the fans that don't get the info and come in for that reason, in the most respect maul way I can I'm asking folk to just give the info and leave it at that don't take the doubters too serious.

17 Jan 2026 07:11:48
The thing is Stevie the actually do throw names in there. But for some reason when it comes to a "someone even bigger than Olsen" or "he's not even the biggest one" they somehow don't say the name.

17 Jan 2026 07:18:43
Some guys on here either work at auchenhowie or are friends with someone high up there. These are the most reliable guys on here and if they leak names it could fall back on them badly or even mean losing their jobs so I respect them for any info they give and also respect their decision to keep names to themselves.

But trust me you will eventually know who the reliable ones are and if they say something is going to happen take it as gospel.

17 Jan 2026 07:35:49
StevieG I with you to a certain extent. I prefer hearing names and gossip. It's what I started following for. I even enjoyed the old taxi and airport rumours of I saw Messi at a petrol station in Pollok. Unfortunately I think some just can't be bothered with the flack from some for things not working out even though their posts were genuine. I do think some others like to play the game to wind up tho. And others only have partial info but still pass it on. For example I asked EHL about his done and dusted players but he hadn't actually been told the names, just that they were done.

But it still gives excitement to know there is more to come and it's not just 3 so far. So suppose the anticipation will need to do.
There has still been a fair amount names flying about in the meantime anyway. Aphelion got it spot on ahead of anyone about Skov and gave me info straight away regarding Chuk. So hopefully more names will be thrown into the mix for discussion.
I would also like to agree the site has in the most part been a lot friendlier with good banter and some decent debate as well as support for ones going thru hard times so good to see that.

17 Jan 2026 07:45:16
I think like the majority on here, I'm very grateful to those that pass on information (correct or incorrect) ahead the main stream media. And like the majority on here I would agree that people have the right to post info they have or keep it to themselves, that's entirely up to them.

On the flip side though I would agree that if you don't want to mention a name, then don't mention anything at all or all you are doing is rubbing people up the wrong way and appearing like you're trying to show off a bit.

On a separate note I'm delighted with how Danny Rohl (+ the board) are approaching things. It's a breath of fresh air. Some proper football, a proper title race, and some proper signing!

17 Jan 2026 07:46:22
Disagree Stevie; Aphelion broke the Skov Olsen story before we knew, we suspected but didn't know, yet some, usually the same ones can't wait to bring up past indiscretion, they look for some small slip to jump on every comment, it's the same sad individuals, all u have to do is look u can see it.

John has also been attacked as has EHL and others, some just can't accept when told and go out to disprove anything some posters may offer, if u look posters are tailing of, Berkshire, Copland, 3 cheers and others gone, stig, ss, Storm, Johnand others posting less for varying reasons, all have commented on this when offering info, some have stepped back myself included, other reasons, but as SS said the bitching on here at times is pathetic, one reason I'm not on much, used to love coming on here and being jovial, crack a joke, stir a pot for fun but now it's a chore.

Yes its a rumours site that thrives on rumours, but as experience has shown sometimes not keeping your counsel can lead to vitriolic and accusatory posts calling people's characters and even identity in to question.

I can do without that.

Sometimes anticipation can make the reservations worth the wait.

17 Jan 2026 07:58:40
I get told things like,

-The calibre of players we're looking at is ridiculously good, it's time to be excited
-We're working on 5 deals, and all are looking really promising

The guys I used to work with don't just casually reveal names at 5's / 7's.

If you don't like what I post, feel free to ignore it, engage with it or b! tch about it.

Doesn't bother me one bit either way.

17 Jan 2026 08:14:42
Robbie then explain what you gain out of posting a rumour if there is no name. It's not a rumour then really. It lacks the main ingredient. The actual player in question. I actually believe this is how a lot of the arguing originates from on the rumours page. It's a bit of teasing someone.

17 Jan 2026 08:48:03
Ehl this is exactly my thinking, and I'm glad you said it. I believe the majority get into like the info you have stated. Looking for a striker, want 5 players in etc etc. And I believe they don't reveal the names. And I'm good with that. I think the problem is people gatekeeping (or at least making it out they are gatekeeping) is what ends up peeing people off.

If someone came on and said for example, "we are in discussion with 2 more players, but no names have been given to me", I feel there would be less annoyance and people sniping. It's when a poster says "we are speaking with 2 players but I'm not telling yous the names as I'll get attacked" or along the lines of that. That's what's annoying.

17 Jan 2026 08:50:29
EHL and Johns knowledge is hearing things from friends and colleagues and not searching the web, so keep it up boys👍👍✌️.

17 Jan 2026 08:59:50
Ehl exactly mate. It makes no difference what anyone says on here.

17 Jan 2026 09:30:03
EHL, i absolutely trust and appreciate your superb info you so kindly share with us all on this superb site 👌I also so much appreciate the very good info we receive from John, Aphelion, coplandfront5, Ibrox4Me, Lundstramloyal etc and i extend that to all posters who are prepared to share any info they're hearing and that's what this site is all about 👍So cheers to every contributer and leave the bitchiness at the door 🤔.

17 Jan 2026 09:38:21
EHL I think what you say is how the club are working these days so names aren't escaping from there. we can't keep plater's agents quiet etc but if we have a deal on the go do we really want to alert other clubs to the players availability.
it is good that the coaches etc at the club respect that need for that confidentiality.

Like OT I am happy with the type of posts you mention as it shows the way the club are looking. so not that it matters what I think but I appreciate those insights.

17 Jan 2026 09:41:18
EHL, keep up the good work mate👏.

17 Jan 2026 10:25:41
EHL, I don't doubt for 1 minute the guys we are 'looking at' are exceptional, top quality etc. but in the last few years (or more) what we have signed has been 2nd or 3rd choice on the picklist. or 'projects'. would be nice to get 3 or 4 first team starters from the TOP list.
Keep posting mate, always good info.

17 Jan 2026 10:53:08
I honestly have no issues with any posters who doesn't like / believe what I share - so have no intention of spitting the dummy, throwing my toys out my pram and leaving in protest, or worse, threatening to leave.

My only frustration with this site is that there are a few petty posters who ruin loads of decent threads with their pathetic online beef and one upmanship - I believe this puts newcomers off posting and contributing, which is just really sad as we really could be doing with some old posters returning and some new posters joining.

17 Jan 2026 11:19:20
EHL i really appreciate the information you bring mate, if some don't believe an anonymous poster I'd be fine with that.

17 Jan 2026 12:26:29
if someone's been told we will bring in x amount of players, should they not post it because it doesn't have names? I don't get any info or know anyone who does so i'm hardly going to wet myself or have a go at people who do for not naming names.

The last person we signed someone on here broke the name before it was in the media?
