14 Oct 2026 16:53:50
Really appreciate your take Ed001, starting to get concerned with Sunderland mate, did think Liverpool were better side before the send off.

{Ed001's Note - the extra games do look to be taking their toll on Sunderland.

14 Oct 2026 18:19:53
Ed001, that was my thinking before the season started mate.

{Ed001's Note - luckily the promoteds3 are bad enough They should finish above them.

14 Oct 2026 20:10:10
I dunno ed, Coventry look like they turned a corner, hull look decent, so do Ipswich. I genuinely think it's impossible to predict who will get relegated this season.

{Ed001's Note - not one team in the Prem looks good--far this season other than Brighton. That is why those threelookok.

14 Oct 2026 19:29:00
Very good read, i have to say i was hysterical with laughter at the flop comments especially surrounding Tottenham.

15 Oct 2026 12:54:25
Probably agree Ed although I think Villa might have turned a corner, also think Chelsea will start to hit form now caicedo is fit.

{Ed001's Note - you could be right on both, but Chelsea still look wide open at the back with Caicedo. They conceded so many chances at the weekend.}

14 Oct 2026 13:06:30
I might have missed it being discussed but what's the view for the massive drop in minutes Drago is getting? We know we're preferring DN and NR as starters but he's barely getting a minute off the bench.

14 Oct 2026 13:35:02
Bit concerning he's not getting any minutes from the bench, can't complain about him not starting as the two starting are on a 7 game winning run. Hopeuflly we see more of him over coming weeks.

14 Oct 2026 14:10:26
Dragojevic will getting plenty minutes as the season goes.

14 Oct 2026 15:26:32
Sollo it was explained by possibly Ehl, that they are working on him to be part of a 2 in mf as he's not familiar with that role. As you can imagine it's a lot more difficult to play and understand that role.

14 Oct 2026 16:01:39
I heard Drago is receiving some additional coaching from an exceptional 1 on 1 coach.

So expect to see him getting some minutes over the next run of games and start to stake a serious claim for starting minutes after the next international break.

14 Oct 2026 16:10:09
I believe this is a conscious decision from McInnes team to integrate him gradually so that he has a better chance of succeeding.
Kosta is very much the same.

Doing what Clement done with Igamane.

14 Oct 2026 16:12:23
Ryan Docherty then😉🤣👍.

14 Oct 2026 16:14:45
As always, thanks for the responses and insight!

14 Oct 2026 17:33:28
NATO that's who i thought of Igamane, who was 22.
Drago is only 20 plenty time for him. he's shown enough to suggest he could be a right good player for us.

14 Oct 2026 18:46:36
Raskin and Neil are playing well so can't really be dropped after the Celtic games at the moment. I think he will be a good signing for us however - has all the right attributes.

14 Oct 2026 19:11:14
Exactly big dado, was thinking Exactly the same.

14 Oct 2026 19:15:03
He's a 20 year old who has moved to a new country and a new style of football so the teams current form giving us a chance to be patient with him is a good thing .He has been bought for more than this season. He will get a chance and then its up to him to play well and stay in the side .

14 Oct 2026 21:25:45
He was club captain at 20! (Think Barry F), EHL himself previously commented on the energy and fitness he and Nedeljkovic brought to training, compared to our home players.
I hope he eventually gets in and STAYS in, as I honestly think he is captain material for years to come.

15 Oct 2026 12:24:31
He was brought in to replace Raskin and very much viewed as a project player who imho will make us big money in time.

15 Oct 2026 17:18:55
As long as we are getting 3 point each week i'm going to be patient. Diffenrt if we were losing or drawing and other decent palyers not getting a run out.

"Our" Naderi 💙.

14 Oct 2026 09:45:33
What a turn round in him boy blue. Turns up when the team needs him the most.

14 Oct 2026 13:07:20
When he grows up and fills out a bit, he will be some handful.

14 Oct 2026 17:34:02
Need to remember its his first full season. He will get better and better.
One of my mates says he looks like Marty McFlys da 🤣.

14 Oct 2026 21:26:45
Dado might be a good model to follow tbh!

15 Oct 2026 06:40:43
BigDado- let's hope its "Back to the Future" to our 9 in a row years of dominance too, bud 😁😁😁🙏just going to check my Rangers Almanac for that.

15 Oct 2026 18:18:23
Absolutely BF 💪 with Doc McInnes in control of the DeLorian hopefully we can go full speed to the title 😁.

13 Oct 2026 10:56:59
Just been told that our Rangers club store/shop is moving back to its original place at the corner of the Copland road stand with Cavanagh wanting to make our Edmiston house fan zone bigger with more bars and eating facilities for our supporters. 🤔

The upstairs part of the shop i'm told is likely to still have the cafe, but much bigger as the upstairs part of the shop will also be gone with our museum poised to stay where it is. 🤔

With Castore having new exciting ventures coming before next season, when they again become our brand kit manufacturers taking over from Umbro, are happy with the store moving back to the original place and have been discussing this with Cavanagh for a wee while now. 👍

Cavanagh also was desperate for the building at the Copland road corner to be used, instead of lying there derelict and are delighted with the plans now ahead. 😁Makes total sense really and better for Rangers financially and all round 👌🇬🇧So work should be starting soon. 🤔 Just sharing what i'm told guys 👍🇬🇧.

13 Oct 2026 11:03:27
Great info Coops.

13 Oct 2026 12:20:43
Nice one mate really loving big cavanagh think he's an excellent boss. Exiting times ahead lads.

13 Oct 2026 13:27:32
Wallace - I'm like you. Like everything about the guy. Yes he made a mistake trusting Thelwell's recommendation to employ RM but he's held his hands up and has doubled efforts to drive us forward.

He's got a real air of calm and a serious business brain.

I may be naive but I am fully behind him. I think he's good for the club.

Notwithstanding the above, a lot of what's been discussed are plans. I'll be even happier when he has a completed body of work behind him.

13 Oct 2026 13:33:18
Great info as usual Coops 👍.

13 Oct 2026 13:37:46
Athole fully agree mate he's the sort of boss you give 110% for. i'm on a job the now where the boss is a absolute diamond it's makes you happy coming into work in the morning I think cavanagh is exact same he's got everyone pulling in the same direction proper old fashioned type gezzer and as you said has a amazing business brain.

Gerrard was the best thing to happen to our club in these past 15 years but the big man is a very close 2nd and may even surpass Gerrard in the future. I'm so happy he's fully backing our club. Let's be honest we really needed someone like him to take our club to the next level.

13 Oct 2026 13:56:49
Thanks for the kind words guys and will always share on here anything i'm told unless told by one of my sources not to 👍Seeker my pal, nice to see you on as i've never seen you on for a wee while mate 🤔🇬🇧.

13 Oct 2026 14:03:53
What ever happened to the sports bar idea? Did that just get canned? Sure I seen signs saying sports bar coming soon , was a good while ago right enough.

13 Oct 2026 14:48:30
Sports bar at Ibrox now that would be a sell out every game. Could even see myself in there when we don't play.

13 Oct 2026 14:52:21
He is a great man.

13 Oct 2026 16:08:01
Kenny d, Cavanagh put a stop to it being turned into a sports bar not many months after he became our chairman / owner mate 🤔.

13 Oct 2026 16:43:11
Anyone Got news, re mrs Greg.

13 Oct 2026 17:28:23
She's alive and well as per Internet search, we'd know as the club would announce it, if she's passed then I can't find any record anywhere.

13 Oct 2026 18:09:36
Cheers sir Walter, I'm sure it had signs up saying the sports bar was coming soon, thought it would have been fantastic.

13 Oct 2026 18:34:43
Its was from a social media page and was allegedly made up absolutely sickos so they are 😡.

13 Oct 2026 20:16:29
Let's hope that doesn't happen for as long as possible then coops.

Some people are sick, as u say mate.

13 Oct 2026 22:42:07
Stevie, agree must be the lowest of the low to spread rumours of the death of Anyone , for the sake of me how does this effect the couple .

13 Oct 2026 23:27:17
Scrambled if it's done online mate it's literally been done for views and likes maye which in turn generate money.

Sick how low people stoop for materialistic things.

14 Oct 2026 08:51:38
people who share it need to do some fact checking as when someone you know shares it then it seems more credible. careful what you share guys.

14 Oct 2026 10:53:34
As long as its run better than currently. waiting in a queue for half an hour is criminal just to get a beer and if that's the norm (as it was last saturday) i won't be doing it again. just think of the lost revenue whilst people wait in line.

14 Oct 2026 11:15:03
Just for a bit of interest and with the news that Rangers will see out the remainder of our contract with our current kit manufacturers castore/umbro which ends in 2030 and with castore starting from next season, taking over from umbro as our brand kit makers for the last 3 years, who would we all want/think to replace castore/umbro from 2030/2031; season onwards 🤔So ED, would you be so kind and run a poll amongst us all on here to gauge our opinions mate 🤔My poll being
Who do we want/think will be Rangers kit manufacturers starting from 2030/2031 season, ie.

Castore, Umbro, Adidas, Nike, Macron,
New Balance, Puma, Reebok, Under Armour,
Other 🤔Cheers ED and very much appreciated as always mate 👍.

{Ed033's Note -


Kit poll

15 Oct 2026 07:40:46
A Rangers adidas trefoil kit would be stunning, also love the lifestyle and retro range they're doing. Gutted about being stuck with Castore though, cannot stand the kits despite whatever finances they've helped us with. They seem to never be out the headlines in terms of poor kits. In fact they were in them again two nights ago with Club Brugges badges peeling off!

15 Oct 2026 18:27:04
I see Adidas slightly ahead of Nike in the poll to who we would prefer as our kit manufacturers after castore 🤔I honestly just don't see it being Adidas as they've gave their big kit deal to them and i don't see them giving Rangers the same and of course we'd be absolutely well within our rights to ask for the same deal if they came calling 🤔It all points to Nike for me 🤔🇬🇧.

13 Oct 2026 09:16:41
Lads a wee question for anyone who's interested, who was the better defensive mf , ngolo kante or Claude makalele?

Ed if u want to do a wee poll for it too that would be great mate 👍 thanks.

{Ed033's Note -


MF poll

13 Oct 2026 09:38:51
Only one of them has the position they play named after them, Makelele every time.

13 Oct 2026 10:14:42
Remember back in the day reading a story about Makelele paying £80,000 to change the leather in his Mercedes put me right off him.

13 Oct 2026 10:06:56
Makelele reinvented the holding midfield role.

I would say only Busquets and Pirlo have come close in my opinion.

13 Oct 2026 12:15:05
Kante not in same league as makelele or busquets.

13 Oct 2026 13:12:07
Stevie that's a hard one mate as Kante was also superb in the holding role. Who won the most trophies that's the only way I can decide. Think it might be makelele that just edges it.

13 Oct 2026 13:22:47
Kante not being in the same league, ATTI? Kante was a top player.

13 Oct 2026 13:28:18
I like busquets

Toffipops are my favourite.

13 Oct 2026 13:58:56
I personally rate makelele better than kante but kante was also a quality holding midfielder 👌.

13 Oct 2026 13:59:42
So I've just googled it makalele won 15 and kante won 11 but kante has the World Cup and makalele doesn't. That's a hard one to decide who's best. My pick would be kante as he has World Cup also I really liked him.

13 Oct 2026 14:02:25
Cheers lads, I would also say makalele but listen kante absolutely without a shadow of doubt is in that class of players.

I'd say busquests may be the best of them but he is different Infact all 3 are slightly different aren't they.

Then we've got Rodri now, is he better than busquets?

13 Oct 2026 14:42:18
Wallace and more caps for France, not much in it with both players.

13 Oct 2026 14:51:31
Not much in it at all mate think it just comes down to preference. Both outstanding footballers. Kantes story is unbelievable from nowhere to world champion pretty amazing.

13 Oct 2026 19:23:53
I've never played the makalele i always played guitar😌.

13 Oct 2026 19:30:03
I would say it is difficult to be better than Busquets although I would have preferred Pirlo in my team. The way he anchored that Milan team was amazing.

13 Oct 2026 20:11:13
Laudrup that's both of our good jokes died on their ars*s on this thread 🤣🤣.

13 Oct 2026 20:35:43
Nato I feel they're both different players to the point u could play them both in a 2 with a 10 ahead and that would be some mf.

Pirlo was special too.

The best teams all have a mf eith great balance.

That Milan had pirlo technical ability and vision and passion etc , ball retention and telling everyone what to do and where to be.

Gattusso was the legs and the aggression and seedorf was a bit of both.

All great winning teams need balance.

{Ed001's Note - Pirlo met me this week, I could tell he was very excited....}

13 Oct 2026 21:02:55
I'm meaning u could play pirlo and busquets as a 2 btw *.

13 Oct 2026 22:05:26
Did u frighten him with the scouse accent Ed 😂.

{Ed001's Note - no mate, he was obviously a bit star struck though as he didn't seem to understand me. He did seem to be very nice though, especially considering his team had just been beaten.}

13 Oct 2026 23:46:43
What did u say to him mate?

I always get rather ovwr excited when I meet heroes lol

End up blurting out a big complimentary phrase but in a very excitable way lol.

14 Oct 2026 05:08:31
Over the course of their career I would say Makalele. But in terms of peak, I would say kante.

There was a 2 year period where he was the best in the world at that role. doing everything that makalele would do plus drive forward and create/score goals.

14 Oct 2026 10:08:23
I remember reading that when Real Madrid sold makalele from their galacticos team they never won a trophy for quite a number of years. The with and without numbers were crazy figures.

That speaks volumes.

14 Oct 2026 14:09:48
Makalele for me before kante.
Pirlo slightly different player but would have him before both.
Rodri great player but
Xavi was the master of all.

12 Oct 2026 18:06:51
I missed the game yesterday, but notice my big friend Naderi got another 2 goals.

How did he play overall?

12 Oct 2026 18:10:01
Gazza he was very food, as I said in August he will score 29 for us.

12 Oct 2026 18:24:30
Naderi won't make it long-term as a Rangers player 🤪.

12 Oct 2026 18:40:06
That should say 20.

12 Oct 2026 19:36:49
He'd better not score 20 John or the fans will hound him out of the club.

12 Oct 2026 21:45:37
John let's hope it is 29 mate.

13 Oct 2026 06:31:54
Hes had a massive involvement in the last 5 games
Motherwell - scores the winner
St mirren - wins the flick on for Miovskis winner
Celtic - hassles ccv wins the ball back for the 1st, wins the flick on for kelsey for the 2nd
Celtic - scores the winner
Kilmarnock- scores 2
And to think he's only in the team through injuries.

13 Oct 2026 08:15:03
Hands up fully 🙌🏻. Really did not think it would work for Naderi here. Been a joy to watch him develop. What a turn around if he hits 20+ this season.

13 Oct 2026 10:08:54
I was one of the biggest supporters of signing Naderi in January.

Many said he was an injury prone waste of money.
A lower league player.

I think Naderi is only starting to vindicate his signing.

13 Oct 2026 10:41:29
Yes injury prone and a waste of 4.5m Nato.

13 Oct 2026 13:12:35
He's already on 9 goals in 12 appearances I said at the start of the season if he gets a goal per game he will be away to one of the big leagues I can see him hitting 30 goals this season.

13 Oct 2026 13:24:10
Wallace 6 goals mate.

13 Oct 2026 13:29:13
Gazza - never mind Naderi. How are you getting on?

13 Oct 2026 13:36:44
He's really found his form and I'm delighted for the lad. He's a great pro, a grafter and according to what I'm hearing, just a really nice lad.

13 Oct 2026 14:01:00
Seeker Naderi is not Rangers class pal and won't make it at Rangers 🤪.

13 Oct 2026 14:04:34
I think he'll get 25 this season. I think he'll still be here next season as like most of our players so clubs can see them in European competition to better asssess.

13 Oct 2026 14:17:24
Yeah star thanks mate I read it wrong it's 9 goal involvements. He got 5 in preseason as well. I forgot about the first half hattrick against Patrick.

13 Oct 2026 14:23:11
Wallace, I sure it's 9 goal contributions in his last 8 games mate, or very similar.

13 Oct 2026 14:56:10
Star, the big man's class a real workhorse and poacher. Very unique as usually a poacher just stays between the sticks the big man is everywhere making things happen.

13 Oct 2026 15:21:02
Wallace, I like Naderi myself mate, love the job he's doing for us.
