Rangers banter 5

23 Sep 2026 21:12:53
More than happy to be corrected here lads but I keep hearing colby Donovan is the only one who got pass marks over the 2 games but I thought Gassama (who has been a major threat this season imo) had him on toast (might be a stretch but got by him on many occasions) 🤷🏻‍♂️ is this a case of when sebo was absolutely mince but ran his heart out so was endeared?

23 Sep 2026 22:33:31
I think Donovan's going to be a good player, think he'll be their rb for years to come.

However I wouldn't say he has been great in the 2 games.

23 Sep 2026 23:33:00
Boy likes a tackle but getting called out for his positional play by his own fans, think that a bit harsh when no one knew what the team was doing, Gassama ripped him one that's what I took from it.

24 Sep 2026 00:01:00
The boy just turned 20 couple of weeks ago, starting for celtic, Scotland call up, he's doing something right. He wasn't great against Gassama, but not many rbs will be great against Gassama on that kind of form. He's been one of there better player this year, think he'd be a lot better with better round about him. He's young so he's going to make mistakes, it's about how he bounces back from them.

Although he runs his heart out, he can also ping those long diagonals, he split our defence wide open with one, seen him do that 3 or 4 times, also good at crossing, whips them in withplentyof pace, his positioning isn't great at times but that will come with games. I think he looks a good prospect tbh.

24 Sep 2026 01:41:06
Are we bothered?

24 Sep 2026 05:05:12
Gassamma has really put in some good performances lately he's certainly winning me over long may it continue.

24 Sep 2026 07:32:15
What's all this? The smeltic FC appreciation society. Who cares, the young lad got ripped two games running by Gassama and is not international class currently so his call up is just another example of the SFA bias.

24 Sep 2026 08:46:27
Couldn't care less 🤷‍♂️.

24 Sep 2026 08:50:37
I really like Donovan, hope he takes his chance in the national set up.

24 Sep 2026 08:50:28
64. Yes it's an international break, same with all the new 0-0 posters it is very prevalent at this time.

24 Sep 2026 09:40:04
He looked a good player to me, he'll get better. Gassama will run riot against most RBs this season.

24 Sep 2026 09:40:57
Donovan not a patch on Johnston. I dislike Johnston very much. But dirty. He's that good unfortunately.

24 Sep 2026 09:59:55
I thought Donovan was lucky to stay on the pitch both games. Some of his challenges are reckless at best dangerous at worst. Straight Red on Naderi in the cup game.

24 Sep 2026 10:05:21
While I agree he had a decent game at Ibrox, he should have been sent off in the first half. Gassama absolutely had him on toast! Also thought he was invisible in the game at the midden.

24 Sep 2026 10:34:05
Its Rangers rumours not a Celtic love in 🤮 i for one don't care about any of their players and would certainly not like to be on here talking about their players get back to all things Rangers or go on over to the Celtic version of the page.

24 Sep 2026 10:50:30
All this hope this for Donovan hope that for Donovan what am I actually reading. I hope his next dump is a hedgehog.

24 Sep 2026 11:24:01
Thought i was on a Celtic forum for a second

why we talking about our rivals crappy RB?

The young lad looked completely lost and made comments to media thinking he was the big yin HAHA.

24 Sep 2026 12:21:42
I thought Gassama tore him apart in the first game at Ibrox and he was lucky to stay on the pitch. How he was selected for an international squad after watching that is beyond me but then again Ralston has 20odd caps so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
I have to take issue with the initial poster saying Sebo was " endeared".

By who? He was a dreadful player and all the running about he did, didn't change that. Things were so bad in that team that he became a joke figure with the fans because they had nothing to cheer. To say he was endeared is changing history.

24 Sep 2026 12:42:18
SEBO SEBO I was at the Rangers-Chelsea friendly many moons ago and he scored the winner for us finished 2-0 wonder how his career went. Wee nacho novo was the other scorer.

24 Sep 2026 13:02:18
Just call them mellow yellow.

24 Sep 2026 13:50:08
They are desperately looking for a positive from our deadly double demolition.
Its obvious.

24 Sep 2026 13:00:05
Listen to yourselves, a group of adults getting upset because we are discussing a Celtic player. It's international break, he's been selected for Scotland, who cares what team he plays for. You can easily scroll on. The banter polis trying to dictate what we speak about.

24 Sep 2026 14:24:23
If he's going to be any good I hope someone buys him. If they don't, I hope he flops just like any of their players.

24 Sep 2026 15:32:56
Just about everything positive in the first game at Ibrox came down his side. Looks way out his depth. Hopefully we get to play him again at Ibrox as he'll give us plenty chances.

24 Sep 2026 16:56:12
Gassama who a load of fans wanted rid of ripped him to bits IMO he's only being praised for effort defensively he wasn't good.

24 Sep 2026 22:35:10
Wallace RFC, I was also at that Chelsea match and Sebo's goal was a great goal, but, I agree his career never took off, Mark Falco was another who didn't cut it.

24 Sep 2026 23:47:19
Bb4 don't talk about the big bad mob we don't get on with. lol

Celtic should always be on our mind and in our immediate thoughts.

They're our biggest rivals.

Imagine telling Arsenal or Man United in 98-2005 don't think of each other? It's not real world mentality.

Better they do better we must do so always pay attention or u get complacent, does that not make sense?

25 Sep 2026 01:28:48
Stevie, looking like the Celtic board haven't been paying any attention to us, mate.

25 Sep 2026 03:55:24
Beale I think they seen us for years and kept putting the big backing back and back and it kept working.
I think they thought it would be ok again.

Martin almost walked cause they wouldn't pay maloney and foderingham same wage as last year.

Genuine. Literal madness aftet double.

I think they've put money by to splash when we're nearly there and they miscalculated this year I think they'll splash big next summer, kind of backs up the Haughey Rodger's and Saudi bud up too. Under offer clubs not going to spend big.

I think aftet this season we will be in too for a while mate. 4/5 years at least.

25 Sep 2026 13:05:21
newwirvger, we have had a few strikers that have struggled but they have all got better records than Sebo, scoring in friendlies doesn't make him a decent players. Falco was miles better than Sebo, and I agree he wasn't great either.

25 Sep 2026 15:00:16
Newwirvger I had a wee look into his career he went on to be a triathlete and won 🥇 in his age category his football career went down hill after leaving us we was the pinnacle of his career. Wsl he actually won the Austrian league and scored something like 22 in 30 odd games in a season that's why we signed him I think.

23 Sep 2026 20:42:01
Old firm game in the USA over preseason.

Thoughts?

23 Sep 2026 22:07:58
Good financially I'm sure but don't think would be keen on an Old Firm "friendly".

23 Sep 2026 22:34:29
All depends on how much both clubs make in terms of profit.?

And mean £5m each would be good money for it.

23 Sep 2026 23:35:39
It'll never be a friendly.

23 Sep 2026 23:36:25
As long as they can't win the three trophies we hold by the time we play them, think I've been watching too much boxing.

24 Sep 2026 00:04:52
As long as trump is on var.

24 Sep 2026 06:32:02
Baz

For 5m quid they can call it what they like. But we all know its a kick a bout.

24 Sep 2026 08:04:22
think if fans over there want to see the two teams and get the chance to see an OF game then we should be going all out to do it; the cash we get is an added bonus. But then I didn't have any issues over the Australian one as more than happy for our overseas fans to see the same games we do.

24 Sep 2026 08:21:28
yah but we took the huff as it seemed to favour Celtic more.

24 Sep 2026 08:51:09
Aye it was the ange appreciation game, not into all that lovey dovey crap for a manager.

24 Sep 2026 08:54:58
I understand Rangers had to play 3/4 games after the Australia debacle, a court judgement to clear a major finanydebt

I believe we only played Man United at Murray field with all money going towards our debt to the organisers, can anyone update did we pay all the debt as part off takeover.

24 Sep 2026 09:18:24
Apparently it's now the Glasgow derby, it's a no for me, you don't go to bed with the Devil.

24 Sep 2026 09:40:56
It's not a friendly game and never should be.

24 Sep 2026 11:01:25
Sons, while I do understand you're opinion there mate, if we don't move with the times we'll be left behind.

All the too clubs around Europe are doing these things now and we must join them and not just for the lucrative contracts on offer but for the global fan base to see us in action and for that fan base to grow every time we play these games.

24 Sep 2026 12:27:07
I agree with SOS, we have to play them in Scotland but I by choice I wouldn't want anything to do with them. As far as they are concerned there is no OF game anymore so how could we have one in the USA. Some of the stick and disrespect we've had from them, and I don't mean the fans, over the last few years just sticks in my craw and as I say I wouldn't want any extra games against them.

Play other teams in the USA and the fans can see Rangers that way without the aggro.

24 Sep 2026 13:15:13
I wasn't against the Aussie friendly either.
A chance for the club to make money.
And a chance for Rangers supporters over there to see the team in action.
We complain that our game is being left behind in Europe but don't want our 2 biggest assets to showcase what we have to offer and grow the game.


Huge club rivalries all over Europe play preseason friendlies and yet an inward looking, narrow minded Scotland looks down their nose at the concept.

24 Sep 2026 14:21:03
If both clubs gain financially, I don't see any problem playing a friendly anywhere.

24 Sep 2026 16:59:06
Can just see the two sets of supporters happily sitting alongside each other on couches along the sidelines ala the World Cup. "Could you please pass the mustard for my hotdog, Timothy", "Certainly Bro. William, enjoy" 🌭 😜.

24 Sep 2026 18:32:10
Absolute non starter, imagine 30k each over there. How on earth are you going to police that?

24 Sep 2026 18:48:46
To add to my earlier reply I said it would be a non starter, both sets of fans and policing it etc would be logistical nightmare!

However.

I was at the WC and to do it you would need a stadium bang in the middle of 2 cities.

Gillette Stadium is one but you've the Irish connection in Boston and Providence so a non starter.

Miami and Ft Lauderdale is one option but the whole area is a complete rip off and I would be against it.

Dallas and Ft Worth at Cowboys Stadium is a better option.

San Fran and San Jose 49rs stadium but not sure about infrastructure getting to the stadium would be ideal.

But now comes the interesting part, you would have both sets of fans at the airports and on the plane at the same time. that would've to be avoided somehow!

24 Sep 2026 20:47:38
Absolutely! Was all for it a few years back in Australia! Should be doing it every preseason in America, in Japan etc! Should be a showcase every preseason can make some serious cash and get the brand out globally.

24 Sep 2026 22:34:22
Different continwoevery year.

Asia America especially but South America is a place we need to try and make an effort to make new fans and in turn customers, make some noise eith good support and locals will take note.

23 Sep 2026 18:18:47
Ok fellow bears here's a wee question and there's no doubt we'll all have different opinions and it's only to gauge all our different opinions 🤔We have all said how superb a signing makhanya has been up until now with his superb performances for Rangers 👌We've seen a good few posts on here regarding who from our superb former centre halfs that makhanya is like and has a similar style to 🤔So from former Rangers centre halfs, who does makhanya have similar attributes to and remind you of ie.

boumsong, cuellar, bougherra,
weir, butcher, gough 🤔🇬🇧 Should be an interesting debate 🤔.

23 Sep 2026 19:23:43
Honestly coops before I got half way down mate I was sure it was going to be a poll about him being captain 😂.

23 Sep 2026 19:48:18
Boughera is probably the only one. He's a far better footballer than the rest you've mentioned. Not necessarily a better defender but a better footballer.

23 Sep 2026 19:56:39
Makhanya impressed Messi when sides meet.

23 Sep 2026 20:10:54
Loved the Madjid Bougherra song man anyone heard the Makanya one yet troops?

23 Sep 2026 20:49:45
Coops he reminds me so much of Virgil van dijk, so much so that I would t liken him to any ex Rangers player, for me he's a young version of Virgil and so far for me looks like he could be better than Virgil was at the same age.

23 Sep 2026 21:37:17
What a comparison Stevie G and i can see where you're coming from mate with makhanya having some similar attributes to virgil van dijk 🤔If makhanya eventually becomes anywhere near as good as van dijk what a centre half he'll become and capable of playing for any the top clubs in Europe's top 5 leagues 👌🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 21:59:20
I really do like your enthusiasm Sir Walter and the feel good factor that you bring to this forum. I would have to say Boumsong. I know its early days but Makhanya really has been a revelation and a much needed stalwart at the back. He can only be a positive influence on Fernandez's development. Through in Pandur and its looking great at the back.

23 Sep 2026 22:07:08
he definitely reminds me of a young Makhanya 😉. but I never understand the need to tag a label on a player as a comparison of an ex player. I am just happy he is playing as well as he does.

23 Sep 2026 22:16:16
He reminds me of him as well Angus.

23 Sep 2026 22:38:27
Angus and Beale Thata fair comments this make too lads, it's just a bit of fun for others who like to do so.

I liken him to Virgil based on his style and attributes, I think that's fair to say.

If we could have him for another 2 seasons with euro football that would show exactly what he's all about.

23 Sep 2026 23:15:11
Angus at Rangers a club our size you'll know yourself mate that comparisons with past and present players always happens and is spoken about 🤔🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 23:51:06
The boy seems to get better with every game as his confidence grows, some of the things he did on Sunday were a joy to watch, watch that 2nd half again you could believe he was an all round midfielder if you had just switched on, a joy to behold.

24 Sep 2026 09:01:53
Makhanya. Imo is not like anyone at Rangers I can think off.
He has his owtvery distinct style and hopefully progresses well, I think he could be another boumsong who will leave in December,

24 Sep 2026 09:43:03
Don't see the owners selling in Jan John if we are in a title race. Be surprised if he's here by next summer but really hope we can get two seasons out of him. Really need to start winning trophies again and need a settled team to do that.

24 Sep 2026 09:44:36
Van Dyke.

24 Sep 2026 10:07:41
Wishy imo it's about money, we only need look at scenarios like Chermiti Barron Raskin Fernandez

One out long term, one can't get game lower league, Raskin no real offers, fernandes written off already by many.

24 Sep 2026 11:06:40
If we can keep him til the summer I'd be looking at his replacement at Philadelphia union as a possible replacement for us, Infact I'd be looking at signing the lad anyway before we miss out on him the following year.

We could sign him and when we sell Makhanya he steps up. Same as he's just done for Philadelphia, by all accounts the boys just as good if not better.

I don't remember his name and I don't like to Google to make my points sound better but have a wee look, lads only 18.

24 Sep 2026 12:03:26
Get that John but we have to start winning trophies again and we can't keep selling players after 6 months to 12 months. The squad has 10+ assets in the squad now so we are not in a bad position where we really need to sell. What we are in is a position where we are failing to win a single trophy year after year after year.

So until we start winning again we need to keep a settled squad and when we start winning we will get in to a position where the squads settled and one or two big transfers a summer and hopefully back into group stage European football.

24 Sep 2026 12:30:04
Interesting somebody saying he will help Fernandezs development when Makhanya is actually younger than Manny. I get what you mean but it should actually be the other way round.

24 Sep 2026 12:37:27
Cant see us selling in January, if he keeps playing the way he is then a summer move is possible and for more than what we would get in January. Hope he stays for a couple of seasons.

24 Sep 2026 12:57:28
Royal hope you're right. But as I say its about money.

24 Sep 2026 13:20:03
The new owners are finally starting to see some consistency John after a horrible first season of turmoil can't see them risking that for a quick sale when they have a chance of winning the league and there will be plenty of players for us to sell next summer. Only way he goes January is if he pushes for it imo.
Turned down bids last Jan when in a title race for key players.

No team going for a title should consider selling a key player in January.

24 Sep 2026 15:09:06
It will have to be a crazy amount of money for us to sell makhanya in january imo 🤔🇬🇧.

24 Sep 2026 15:25:04
I was reading that England and former manchester city centre half John stones was makhanya's idol growing up and he models his style 🤔🇬🇧.

24 Sep 2026 15:40:23
I think if we look at last years prices, we could get 10 million pounds.

We were told 20-25 for Raskin I stick by 12 million


No way we're getting 8 million for Barron, can't get on bench in Championship


We need to be careful re rules in Europe.

24 Sep 2026 15:55:20
Selling Makhanya for 10m would be silly, still think we'll get around 18m for Raskin, needs another contract for that though, John, I noticed earlier you said about Barron in lower leagues, would like hearing what our league is then, third world league?

24 Sep 2026 17:04:40
John there's not a chance in hell we sell Makhanya for £10m unless he has a buyout clause.

If he does I suggest we offer him a new improved contract tomorrow.

£30m is what I'd want for Makhanya not a penny less.

24 Sep 2026 17:46:50
We need to keep makanya for couple seasons at least as we need trophies before cash our owners are not short of a few bob.

24 Sep 2026 22:45:08
We keep players like Makanya for as long as possible or we win nothing.

23 Sep 2026 14:06:27
Has anyone on here who watches youth football ever come across a Partick youth player called Jack Braid? My nephew insists the boy is a real prospect, but who knows?

23 Sep 2026 15:08:29
Yeah, Jack's a good prospect.

Think he's been down south a couple of times for trials - so suspect he won't be long in our game.

23 Sep 2026 16:31:04
Ehl, just one to keep an eye on Morton signed a young goalkeeper recently a think she has the potential to go really far in the womens game. A don't want to put her name on here because of her age but she would certainly be worth keeping an eye on she has a lot of potential fast, brave, great agility good reflexes.

Certainly someone the Rangers womens team should keep an eye on.

23 Sep 2026 17:12:42
EHL, would he be enough of a prospect for us to be looking, mate?

23 Sep 2026 19:34:12
I'm sure we would know about him, it's a pretty small pond.

24 Sep 2026 10:09:06
The way Morton are going she might be in their first team soon!

23 Sep 2026 11:56:25
As others have said Penrice and Makhanya stand outs. But big shout out to our new goalie. Pandur to me oozes class, calmness and belief in himself, he must be a great assurance for our defence, knowing he is so reliable.

23 Sep 2026 12:45:51
Very good with the ball at his feet and happy to come out and play sweeper when required. A stark contrast to McGregor style who has a nosebleed outside his 6 yard box.

23 Sep 2026 13:48:32
i think we have a few players who have not only improved the position but helped players from last year, who we all wanted to write off, improve too, as an example Gassama, last season i would have been happy never to see him in a Rangers top again but this season, and whilst he isn't the finished article he is miles improved.

He can easily go round players with ease.

23 Sep 2026 14:54:05
Gassama Naderi Sterling manny all improving. Sterling always been good just fitness is becoming more consistent. Will be good to see how Rommens does when he's back as well challanging Penrice. Then hopefully we will see Vanja and kosta more soon too.

23 Sep 2026 18:08:02
What about makhanya WishyBear 🤔If he keeps improving god only knows how good he will be mate 👌🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 18:11:52
Sir Walter I fully expect him to play for a top level champions league team. Hopefully only after he's won a couple leagues with us.

23 Sep 2026 18:28:19
Sws, Makhanya will keep on improving, mate he's only a young cb's, as wishy just said he definitely has the potential to play for any club, can't see him not playing for a top side, win a couple of leagues first, him and Fernandez are both quality, some pairing for a club in this league.

23 Sep 2026 18:29:20
Back five have the looks of being talked about in future years as we look back, still early but confidence is not something we have talked about in a Rangers defence in years.

23 Sep 2026 23:41:35
3 weeks ago they were all mince. Sterling was always a solid defender, just fitness. Our 2 centre halves are young so there will be mistakes in them which might go unpunished in league football. Penrice looks every inch a Rangers player to me and Pandur has impressed me.

23 Sep 2026 08:17:18
Just for a bit of interest and debate to gauge all our opinions who do we reckon has been our best signing from what we've seen so far from all our new players signed under derek McInnes fellow bears 🤔 What would your order be 🤔🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 08:25:47
Makhana then pandur then Penrice would be top 3.

23 Sep 2026 08:32:21
McInnes.
Makhanya.
Penrice.
Neil.
Minsu.
Kelsey.
Drago.
Shanks.
Yokota.
Etc, etc.

23 Sep 2026 08:38:46
1. Big Mak
2. Pandur
3. Neil
4. Penrice
5. MinSu
6. Kelsy
Pretty much throw a blanket over the rest due to limited impact/opportunities so far but happy with just about all of them.

23 Sep 2026 08:44:45
Mine would be (top 6)
McInnes
Makhanya
Neil
Penrice
Pandur
Minsu Kim.

23 Sep 2026 09:06:59
Don't think McInnes signed McInnes, Sir Walter 😜🤣.

23 Sep 2026 09:08:33
I thought a few would pick Neil over Penrice first, but wee Penrice has been quality from the minute he walked in the door, no settling in period just bang at it from the start.

23 Sep 2026 09:16:41
Penrice been class bb4. Not just in terms of ability but he's got an infectious attitude. I absolutely love how much he loves playing for us, to many over last few years haven't appreciated the opportunity they had.
A lot of them now look like they are loving playing for us think McInnes a big part in that.

23 Sep 2026 09:21:46
Penrice
Makanya
Pandur
Shankland
Minsu
Neil
Kelsey
Yokota
Bouanni
McCrorie
Devlin
In that order.

23 Sep 2026 10:11:15
Pandur, Kelsey, minsu.

23 Sep 2026 10:11:45
Makhanya
Kung Fu Pandur
Neil
Penrice
Kelsy
Minsu Kim

Delighted with the positive impact all of the above have had on the team. The other signings I was either fully aware of what they could bring, e. g. Shankland, or haven't seen enough of, Bouanani for instance.

23 Sep 2026 10:12:00
Isn't it amazing what 2 weeks can do. not long ago we had a rubbish transfer window and wanting all involved sacked. how fickle eh.

23 Sep 2026 10:34:12
There's always a pop at fans amongst a praise the team discussion. 🤷. Any coincidence the majority of players topping the lists were signed after our bad start which was main reason for criticism?

23 Sep 2026 10:53:44
Geesa many said wait till window close before deciding what It was like.

The last three signings totally changed the dynamics

Although signed last window Naderi has proved to be a sensational player for us.

The only players we wanted out who r still here we're Miovski Souttar Miovski.

23 Sep 2026 11:00:01
totally agree John, shame we couldn't have got them in that bit earlier.

23 Sep 2026 11:04:05
Makhanya
Penrice
Neil.

23 Sep 2026 11:22:57
Glad we didn't get Miovski out as he's the reason for the turn around with that late goal against St Mirren imo. Will be a useful
Player of the bench in the coming weeks.

23 Sep 2026 11:14:04
That's a great question Sir Walter and every tough but I'll give it a go and briefly explain why.

1. Minsu - quality attacking player and inspires others to play without fear which I think we lacked in our play.

2. Neil / Makhanya - both bring a calmness and structure to midfield / defence.

3. Pandur - Quality GK and instills confidence at the back.

4. Penrice - energy and desire rubs off on others.

But most importantly our biggest and best signing has been Derek McInnes. His ability to lead and bring a togetherness to a squad is clearly evident to see. I have no idea why anyone would try and spin a negative on that.

I used to be the butt of jokes between my supporters club because I said for years that we should go for McInnes and we would should play with two centre forwards in a version of 442, I would say that McInnes was the man to take us forward and bring back our identity. The jokes would be along the lines of that I knew nothing about football or 442 was outdated and that Celtic play 433 or the job was too big for McInnes.

Well Sir Walter, I had great fun giving them my revenge over the last couple of weeks. Its just banter and all in good fun.

I admire your enthusiasm Sir Walter, keep it up and I hope that answers your question. What do you think?

I think they've all done well. DM will have installed in them that there is no one player better than the next and it looks like the squad are buying in to it with their displays of recent team cohesion, both on the park and off it.

They are all playing for one another, all vocal when required and all playing for the badge on their chest. On top of that, the team look like they're starting to enjoy their football. It's great to see.

1. Raskin
2. Penrice
3. Shankland.

Makhanya, Neil, Minsu.
Most are different, which only says one thing, top recruitment that window.

23 Sep 2026 12:38:30
🪃 is back, just very surprised about his post about Neil the other day, just a few weeks ago he wanted him binned, but Del Gets it.😜.

23 Sep 2026 12:47:29
EHL what's your thoughts on Nsaila leaving? A few weeks ago you named him as your first choice CB at the club?

23 Sep 2026 12:47:46
Difficult one, I'd say Makhanya, Penrice, Pandur and Neil as joint No1 signings 😅 honestly can't pick one! For me also though Sterling feels like a new signing, getting played in his natural position week after week has shown just how good he is, so consistent.

My top performer so far. Raskin looks a different player the last few weeks EHL, seems to have a new lease of life under McInnes. Long may it continue.

23 Sep 2026 13:10:40
For actual impact since they signed, not just in a couple of games.
Penrice
Makhanya
Pandur
Minsu
then the likes of

Walter

Player who stands out Makanya. Needed class CH and best in blue long time.

23 Sep 2026 13:35:50
For me it's Makhanya Neil and Minsu, for me these were all positions we badly needed to strengthen more than any other.

23 Sep 2026 13:56:18
Del gets it, many on here called for McInnes mate. You called for us to play two up top constantly, even when we didn't have the personnel or a manager used to playing that system. We are playing it now because we have the players to play that way, just as importantly a manager that knows how to get the best out that system.

We haven't won anything playing with 2 up top or McInnes, Celtic seem to have done not to bad playing 433.

23 Sep 2026 13:58:53
Bornabear, I'm glad he got move.

23 Sep 2026 14:24:09
Honorable mention for Shankland btw. We'd be 6 points behind right now if it wasn't for his goals.

23 Sep 2026 14:49:52
So we'd be 8 points behind without Naderi goal Blue, they players are on the park for scoring goals mate.

23 Sep 2026 15:21:00
Top 3 because they have been on it from the start and didn't need time to settle.
Pandur
Makhanya
Penrice.

23 Sep 2026 15:40:11
Penrice
Neil
Makanya
Pandur
Minsu

❤️🤍💙.

Thanks Del Gets It for your nice post to me pal 👍 it's very much appreciated mate 👍🇬🇧Of course that does indeed answer my question and good on you for having faith in derek McInnes as our manager in waiting for so long 👏I think derek McInnes will take us back where we all want us to be and if he does he'll be our manager for a good number of years🤔Del has now got the manager's job he's always wanted and he won't be looking to go anywhere now he's here, of that i've no doubt 👍🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 18:28:33
Correct mystar but he wasn't a new signing and if Shankland hadn't scored against Aberdeen and Falkirk we would've had zero momentum.

23 Sep 2026 19:12:09
You are very welcome Sir Walter. I was fed up with foreign managers coming in and trying to establish their own brand of football not suited to our game and also bringing in players not suited to our game either. I know a lot of fans will follow blindly and back every player and manager to be a success without really having knowledge.

I just couldn't and I knew relatively quickly that these would not work out and as I said to you earlier, I took a bit of stick for my views and I always felt that the answer was on our own door step with McInnes. His tactics and formations aligned with my own views and thankfully so far it looks as if I could have been right all along, much to the detest of many of my own pals in our supporters club I might I add. I enjoy your posts pal and I'm always happy to have a blether with you about all aspects of our great club.

24 Sep 2026 08:56:33
why do you have to use the word foreigner, its nothing to do with that label. that's where you start to lose the credibility. many were wary about DM me included because on paper many of our previous managers had a better CV than his.

he still hasn't won anything yet so let's see how it goes. but well done for knowing so early our previous managers would all be crap. should get on the board, you could have saved us a fortune.

22 Sep 2026 22:08:05
Was watching my brother tonight against the B team and got to say Kyle Glasgow is sensational. What a future he's got.

23 Sep 2026 08:30:54
With the Rangers WishyBear? Or will this be another one who heads south at first opportunity??

23 Sep 2026 08:42:16
Bar do you blame these young guys, who was the last youngster to get a right fair crack at the whip playing for us? The money some of these young guys get is life changing as well. The one that really should have got a chance was lovelace, thought that boy had the quality to really be something, but didn't really get as much as a sniff.

It's a case of sit at Rangers with no chance of a game on low wages, or go down south with a even lower chance of getting a game, but higher wages.

23 Sep 2026 09:18:46
Hopefully with us Bar, we have to get him a couple good loans and then look to get him in playing. Curtis getting as many chances as he is getting can only be a good thing to young boys wanting to follow in his foot steps.

I'm telling you but he's only 16 but he's absolutely rapid, he's strong men are bouncing off him, he has an eye for a pass, he can play off both sides, and he works and presses hard.

Another player that impressed was Josh gentles scored and assisted, wasn't too impressed with Zeb Lawson, but my brother said he was class the last time they played him so maybe just an off day for him.

23 Sep 2026 10:13:45
Wishy Lawson has definitely went back since the season started.

23 Sep 2026 10:28:22
Is he not a winger John? He was playing more centrally and it didn't suit him at all.

23 Sep 2026 12:13:02
Would love to see something like longer term loans for these youmg players or perhaps better buy back deals so they can go out and develop for those 18-21 years but we don't lose them entirely. Just now it's if they aren't in by 19 then they feel they better to leave. Read Ure saying something similar.

23 Sep 2026 13:27:42
Boy blue 4, don't blame any of them that take the road south, its a short career & if they get regular football even in the Championship, they are probably set for life.
only thing that might make them consider staying is a proper pathway to first team, not as it is now, with the best hope seems to be loaned out to Raith Rovers etc etc.

in some cases never to be seen again.
