Rangers banter 5

17 Jun 2026 14:13:43
Hey guys, anyone know McInnes whereabouts today/when is he back in Scotland? Any sightings at Edinburgh/Glasgow airport? In a pub, local kebab shop. anything LOL As you can tell I'm a really patient supporter!

It may give us an indication of timing of announcement now that Rohl departure confirmed officially.

17 Jun 2026 14:34:44
Someone will see him soon enough when they're out with their dog. 😉😂

17 Jun 2026 14:47:53
Sure, he was spotted driving taxi, taking Danny Rohl to Glasgow Airport.

17 Jun 2026 14:59:19
McInness allegedly in US till after Brazil game.

17 Jun 2026 15:22:35
Given we start training on Friday, I find that a bit disappointing.

17 Jun 2026 15:34:34
It's Medicals and fitness. Probably new training gear being issued over the weekend. As long as he's in for Monday, does it matter if he misses them doing a bleep test which I can pass at 50. 🤷🏼‍♂️

17 Jun 2026 15:42:21
I understand we start training Monday. Friday is medical requirements re playing in Europe, beep test etc

If he is appointed, I suspect he will return after Morocco match, unless he convinces Cavanagh he wants to scout Vinicius.

17 Jun 2026 15:43:42
Iron, Brazil game ain't getting him in by Monday.

17 Jun 2026 15:56:30
John, do you really think Vinicius is better than what we currently have?

17 Jun 2026 16:06:49
He wouldn't get a game for us MMG. 😲

17 Jun 2026 16:07:34
Hope he's not at WC to check out Dykes (Clarke's secret weapon). First touch is a clearance type player.

17 Jun 2026 16:26:30
Ross Stewart, Lewis Ferguson maybe both them, Burger.

17 Jun 2026 16:40:45
If he needs to scout Lewis Ferguson, well, I would be both surprised and worried. 😉

17 Jun 2026 16:47:35
Angus, it was more of a joke. Why would he be scouting Dyke.

17 Jun 2026 16:47:45
Perhaps, folks, he's already started his work, has nobody thought of that?

He could be meeting with and trying to persuade Ferguson and others.
Maybe trying to convince Gordon to be no3.

Is McCrorie there? Maybe he wants Souttar to stay. Watch Curtis and decide what he wants to do with him.

17 Jun 2026 16:54:12
Stevie, why would McCrorie be there.

I'm sure Clarke would allow him into the raining camp to work.

Let's try and remember, at this moment in time, he is a Hearts employee.

17 Jun 2026 17:07:20
Coully, personally, I think he'll watch the game Friday night and be back for Monday. Let's see.

17 Jun 2026 17:46:09
Think he means was McCrorie in the Scotland squad, John.

17 Jun 2026 18:08:46
Been well written. He is not in the squad, My star.

17 Jun 2026 18:41:15
Cheers again, Beale, seems some folk are a bit nippy at times on here today.

John, McCrorie is Scottish, and I was asking, is he there? In the squad.

I wasn't sure is all.

If McInnes has agreed to join Rangers then he's going to have his Rangers hat on.

17 Jun 2026 19:23:50
Why would he be trying to convince players to join us when we haven't been given the go ahead to discuss terms, and that McInnes himself isn't confirmed yet?

Also, if true that he is our manager and it's announced, then I'd expect him back here pronto to, you know, do his job.

17 Jun 2026 19:39:02
DM will be at Ibrox for the formalities next mid week.

17 Jun 2026 20:45:07
Blue Jim, he's in a thing called, ye know, holiday. It's the norm.

17 Jun 2026 21:09:42
Aye, well, he's agreed a job at our club, Stevie, and that begins on Monday, so I'd expect him to be there.

17 Jun 2026 21:54:40
Stevie time you write it u can look it up yourself, these Ed's have enough to do.

Mcinness 100% won't be conducting Rangers business Scotland camp.

Drew formalities done in us since Sunday night

18 Jun 2026 12:18:33
The McCrorie question was part of a larger post involving numerous points so I'm sure I didn't take up the Ed's time by posting it, that is the point in this whole thing we have here.

I'll tell you right now, McInnes 💯 will be conducting Rangers business in the USA

The players get down time John they can answer phones FaceTimes and I'd guess they're about to leave the actual base at times as well.

Regardless of that McInnes will be conducting Rangers business daily possibly hourly now that he's confirmed. So you are wrong.

17 Jun 2026 13:04:55
I wish Rohl the best in his new role, he's far from being the worst manager we've had and at least he took the job, he clearly wasn't our first choice and we were starting to look a bit amateur at one point. Thankfully the owners have acted a lot better replacing him.

17 Jun 2026 14:12:45
I also wish our now former head coach Danny Rohl all the best in his new job as the head coach of RBSalzburg. 👍 I wish him no ill. 👍 I truly think he will go on to have a good successful career in management. 🤔

17 Jun 2026 14:32:17
💯 Gents.

Danny was a decent, honest man who was sadly out his depth at Rangers IMO. We need a proper LEADER. A man that understands The Club, The Expectations and The Demands of the fans. I've no doubt he'll do well in his new role, but Rangers 99% of the time is no place for a young, inexperienced Manager. Good Luck, Danny.

17 Jun 2026 15:02:38
He could not get away quick enough. 9 months at Rangers, yet we knew in April he wanted out.

Wish him the best as we want the addons, also told we have a compensation clause if he moves on, that is quite unusual for a manager imo.

17 Jun 2026 16:11:39
To be fair to your good self, John, you called this regarding Danny Rohl wanting to leave Rangers, even before the season actually finished. 👍 🇬🇧

17 Jun 2026 16:19:01
I get that, John, but he also took the job when others, who were reportedly in advanced talks, walked away. He brought the team and the fans together again and conducted himself very well. He also had a fantastic head of hair and sported the brogues in immaculate fashion. 😂
Good luck to him.

17 Jun 2026 16:21:37
Walter, too much was happening behind the scenes.

17 Jun 2026 18:09:44
Alloa, it's syrup of fig.

17 Jun 2026 19:25:59
What a masterstroke by AC to get money for someone who was never good enough to be Rangers manager in the first place.

After seeing he was already taking training for RBS, I couldn't give a monkeys about wishing him all the best.

17 Jun 2026 12:18:44
Is mudryks ban ovwr now? I know it was shortened at me point and I think possibly it's been or going to be rescinded soon, if so I'd love to make a loan move for him.

Hes some talent, with a point to prove he offers more than Gassama

17 Jun 2026 12:27:14
Still a couple of years, Stevie, sure he appealed and lost a few months ago, mate, think it was a four year ban.

17 Jun 2026 12:28:22
He looked very impressive for the Ukraine club, never really got going at Chelsea.

17 Jun 2026 12:54:39
CAS is in the process of receiving written submissions from the F.A and Mudryk's team in relation to the appeal, which has not been heard or decided as of yet.
Using the same legal team that did Pogba's, probably even a loan is out of reach, Stevie, even if, as Mudryk hopes, he can get back earlier if successful.

17 Jun 2026 13:17:24
Thought I read something a couple of months ago, must have been appealing it then.

17 Jun 2026 13:28:11
I don't think we should be signing anyone who was found guilty of doping, even if they are claiming that they never knowingly took it.

Meldonium isn't licensed in this country (only in Russia and the Eastern Bloc; say no more) and isn't available anywhere in an over the shelf product and is very, very rarely discovered as an ingredient in mainstream supplements.

So, it was prescribed for someone, and then he must have taken that drug. Just nipping off to see if my auntie has cojones.

17 Jun 2026 16:58:55
Fork, thanks for that info informedandwer, mate appreciate that. 👍🏻

Lads, I understand he failed a doping test but I don't believe he took it knowingly, just my view.

I think when he's fit Chelsea will loan him out to put him in a shop window, maybe it's too late now, but maybe January he'll be available.

17 Jun 2026 18:29:09
No worries, bud. 👍👍

17 Jun 2026 18:58:44
We shouldn't go near any player with that kind of baggage.

17 Jun 2026 12:09:59
Im hearing the hold up for the announcment of derek mcinnes is that andrew cavenagh has asked him to shave his beard off before he even thinks about putting on the famous managers suit and brown brouges. mcinnes is thinking about walking away from deal as he loves his beard. could go either way this. 🤔🤔.

17 Jun 2026 13:27:48
Could be close shave then. 👀😳

17 Jun 2026 13:31:54
Aye right. Didn't Russell Martin have his beard for the whole time he was manager. Tell whoever it is winding you up, they need to try harder. Ad didn't Souness have a moustache. It might have been a tradition at one point in our history but is long gone.

17 Jun 2026 13:35:07
Did Martin not have a beard?

17 Jun 2026 13:45:41
Angus & Peter. 😂🎣

17 Jun 2026 14:04:37
Aye Martin did have a beard. Look how that ended up. And he never wore a suit. 🤣🤣

17 Jun 2026 14:07:24
How is it. 🎣 I was trying not to just say the OP was posting c**p after the discussions yesterday on Bing, nice to others, and giving the OP the benefit of the doubt.

17 Jun 2026 15:47:17
Caught 2 bites with one bait. 🤣

17 Jun 2026 15:49:04
TheRoyalBurgh, I jokingly posted this a few days ago, was the rules quite a few years ago when even John Greig had to get permission to grow a goate beard.

17 Jun 2026 19:00:06
Aye folks, Andrew is razor sharp, lol.

17 Jun 2026 11:26:45
Rangers have confirmed Rohl is away and am happy

17 Jun 2026 11:34:43
Glad to see Rohl gone and he's got what he wanted!! We move on with a better Gaffer. 👍

17 Jun 2026 11:44:24
Phew. Might be able to stop watching the team from behind the sofa. He was a PE teacher. Clueless team selections and substitutions. Went from winning the league to 3rd. We can only wonder what might have been from 2-0 against the Tims to 3rd. Let's see what Del can do.

17 Jun 2026 11:49:49
Well, as long as you are all glad. Hope one day you will find happiness. I don't believe McInnes is the answer, but will get my full backing.

17 Jun 2026 11:53:47
Best thing for all parties, good luck to Danny on his new job,
Time for us all to look forward to new start under DM & get behind him & team. Let's hope exciting times ahead.

17 Jun 2026 11:59:35
Agree, Geesa.
Let's cut out all the he wisna good enough / school teacher guff. He was a manager of our club and, ok, didn't work out, still deserves respect. Honestly, wonder about some of our fans.

17 Jun 2026 12:02:32
Best thing indeed, and this move has probably saved our season and potentially could win us the league.

Danny was going to get sacked by December at the latest.

We've got a few million for him and his team, some suggest £4m.



We've paid less than a million for the new team. 500k for Derek, so coaches will still be under a mill.

Great business as for vast majority we now have the person we want in charge.

17 Jun 2026 13:21:40
Stevie G. The compensation (if true) is fine, but it's really an irrelevance.
And, it's the manager you and others want, I get that, but not everyone, so please talk for yourself and not others.

17 Jun 2026 13:24:50
2 nil up at half time and absolutely flying. To come out 2nd half, sit in and let Celtic attack after attack was a big turning point.

17 Jun 2026 13:28:01
Broste, he did say the vast majority.

17 Jun 2026 13:28:57
I would have preferred we didn't have to change management though.

17 Jun 2026 13:32:00
PeterPan, you are right, if that's what happened but it wasn't. We still attacked, missed a great chance to go 3 up through Rommens, then Souttar got spooked by Maeda's pace through the middle, and he and the back line dropped back 10 yards, leaving too big a gap between the midfield and forwards, which allowed Celtic to get on the ball and dominate.

It was not the manager's plan.

17 Jun 2026 13:34:11
Never mind, guys, will just be a few months before you can be back insulting our next manager. Club just need to realise all the tactical genius sits in the stands and then they can stop looking for the perfect manager.

😉

It didn't work with Rohl as he didn't get time; only difference with him was another club came in and bought him from us instead of being sacked like every other coach/manager we have had since Gerrard.

17 Jun 2026 16:23:03
Fair do's, My Star - correct. Apologies to Stevie G required if he's clocked it. Read the 'we' in haste.
Not that I'm pedantic, but is McInnes what the vast majority want - genuine question and not based on a poll between McInnes and, say, Neil Lennon.

😄
If so, I must very well be in the minority - I can only see it as a major step backwards.

17 Jun 2026 17:06:47
Beale, thanks mate.

Broste, appreciate the follow up to apologise.

I'd say yes, the vast majority want Mccinnes now, sadly Klopp isn't available.

We need certain skills and attributes in the new manager, and Mccinnes ticks almost every single box. Just not enough trophies, but that will come.

He's served his apprenticeship and matured and gotten better as times gone on.

He's the perfect appointment imo.

17 Jun 2026 17:31:52
Np, Stevie G. Was due after all.
All about opinions after all. Hope you're correct.

17 Jun 2026 10:12:26
I'm on the train back to London watching The Open Goal interview with Derek McInnes, I'm not a huge fan of Si Ferry for numerous reasons but this is a really good interview with McInnes.

Not 1 I hope is repeated at The Rangers Training Centre.

Closed doors. Give them nothing, siege mentality!

NO ONE LIKES US WE don't CARE 🔴⚪️💙

17 Jun 2026 11:29:45
Iron, I listen to Ferry Slaney and Halliday all the time. I enjoy it. Ferry and Slaney are grade A bangers, but I still enjoy it.

17 Jun 2026 12:28:40
Agree, I can't say what I really think of them, but that interview with Ferry and McInnes was good. I've met Slane on a few occasions. He's on par with David Lammy for the UK's biggest idiot.

17 Jun 2026 10:04:06
Could Mbappe's celebration mean that Gazza's his idol and that he's coming to Rangers :)
