Rangers banter 6

15 Apr 2026 21:59:36
Not Rangers related. Just watched Bayer v real madrid. What a game. I'm going to gona dis the ref but give him credit. Softest ever 2nd yellow card to send a madrid player off. Whilst the ref was surrounded by 4 madrid players he seen bayern were ready for free kick and blew the whistle for play on. Real players soon scampered away lol.

15 Apr 2026 22:45:03
I think Bayern Munich win the Champions League this year, they're outstanding.

Best front 3 in Europe.

Musiala hasn't had a look in, and he was best youngster in Europe last year.

{Ed001's Note - Musiala has been injured hasn't he?}

16 Apr 2026 06:31:14
RM players get on my nerves these days, so self-entitled & spit dummy when they don't get their own way, an outstanding game to watch though.

16 Apr 2026 07:29:35
First half was great, 2nd not so much, kinda fell off a bit, I thought, until the end. The Barca game was better imo.

16 Apr 2026 08:07:14
PSG v Bayern will be a great game, and should have been the final, but on the plus side we get two games instead of one.

16 Apr 2026 08:28:18
I truly think it will be a Bayern Munich V Atletico Madrid Champions League final. 🤔

16 Apr 2026 08:54:11
Bet Munich with still a few group games remaining.

16 Apr 2026 09:22:59
Has he Ed? I didn't know that I just seen he'd hardly played and had one goal when I seen a chart of bayerns goals and assists.

I seen gnabry was maybe 4th I could be mistaken.

{Ed001's Note - I believe so, yes.}

16 Apr 2026 11:14:44
He broke his leg. I'm sure he has had a bad injury and then had setbacks, Stevie.

16 Apr 2026 12:21:44
The players themselves don't help the game with their antics and running to the ref.

Take Callum MacGregor for example. Constantly talking to the ref and trying to get players booked etc, all while his own team are cheats.



Even Falkirk players at the weekend weren't playing to the whistle, diving about at any bit of contact.

Can't be arsed with it. That goes for Gassama as well, btw.

16 Apr 2026 12:34:37
Arsenal scraped through, and they look the least accomplished of the teams in the semis, but I wonder if they might just do it.

Bayern were brilliant, PSG are also awesome, Atletico have flair, but sometimes things just happen like that, where the one nobody expects anything from gets the prize.

16 Apr 2026 13:27:22
Ye really couldn't pick between Paris and Bayern. It could go either way. I fancy Bayern, but there's no real reason for that.

16 Apr 2026 13:35:18
Probably the best from three on the planet, Stevie. I was never really interested in German football, but watched plenty of Bayern Munich this season. Top side, mate. Karl is another star coming through.

16 Apr 2026 15:19:21
Apparently they've got about 8 youngsters ready to come through, mate. I read an article on them all. 16-18.

16 Apr 2026 16:31:02
Stevie, I've read quite a few articles recently on Bayern, cb Sholl (18), dcm Pavic (16), Fernandez (19), cm young Spanish player, Kusi-Asare, Swedish or Danish, some of young players getting mentioned on most, mate. I try and keep us with youngsters unheard now. I read many of these articles, and not only Bayern, but I have took a little interest in them this season, mate.

16 Apr 2026 17:59:43
Bayern or PSG are a stick on for Champs League this season. The winner comes from that semi.

15 Apr 2026 19:34:45
Wee shout out to Angus, get back on not enough arguments statistically speaking 👀😉👍

Same applies to some absent friends and gd posters, find your way back. 👍.

15 Apr 2026 20:14:49
Echo these sentiments, my friend.

Angus, I hope you are well.

15 Apr 2026 20:28:52
Aye, Angus, always one of my fav posters on here.

15 Apr 2026 21:08:38
Hope you're well, Angus.

15 Apr 2026 21:11:03
Gus, get back to getting your finger on the button. If you can find it (that's what she said).

15 Apr 2026 21:26:30
Hopefully just a short break, very good poster.

15 Apr 2026 21:29:05
Well said, Fork. Been thinking it would be good to hear from Angus over the last few days. Hope you are well, Angus.

15 Apr 2026 22:17:38
Aye al here here that one.

Angus is one of the best posters on here.

15 Apr 2026 22:42:11
Still reading occasionally. As Fork says, my views tended to lead to arguments, and more recently sniping, and I found the enjoyment disappeared from it all. So decided there was more I enjoyed doing that I needed to put my time into. I will still post occasionally, as I am not good at following those original intentions, but could see a lot didn't like my alternative views, so decided they can have the entire dance floor to themselves.


A bit melodramatic, I know, but tbh I find using the forum this way more enjoyable. Just think one of the thumbs up you get will be mine, and I will be watching in the background as I can't really stay away.

Thanks for the thoughts anyway, as I do appreciate those.

15 Apr 2026 22:46:01
Just do what's right for u, Angus.

I for one valued u very highly, mate.

15 Apr 2026 22:48:22
Angus, get back on here.

I can't start all of the arguments myself!!

I would appreciate my "southern" friend to join in airing alternative viewpoints.

15 Apr 2026 23:18:20
It's ok, Aphe, I've got your back these days maye hahah.

15 Apr 2026 23:34:01
I appreciate that, Stevie. This forum is at its best when differing viewpoints can be discussed without descending into chaos.

15 Apr 2026 23:42:09
Absolutely, mate, but we're Scottish and Glaswegian, it's in our nature to fight amongst ourselves haha.

I blame international breaks for the arguing tbh lol.

Let's try not descend into all that during this break we have now.

15 Apr 2026 23:45:39
Stop being a drama queen and get back to posting your "alternative" views regardless of what anyone says! It's the damn internet and nobody will ever fully agree, and it's what the site better, differing opinions and all that.

Ps you said you'd be here for me to argue with when I got back lol.

16 Apr 2026 00:03:54
Bbj, I remember that comment so you hold him to that haha.

I'm the biggest pain in the arse in here, man, n I just shake it off and keep going after I've said something that's annoyed the majority.

Tbf I'm always accepted back regardless of what I say wrong sometimes.

We're all here for the Rangers at the tens of the day.

16 Apr 2026 00:04:19
Makes the site better*.

16 Apr 2026 06:11:53
Always enjoyed your posts, Angus, and imo you're a very good poster. 👌 Don't be a stranger, pal, and get yourself back amongst us. 👍 🇬🇧 Take care. 🙏

16 Apr 2026 07:11:50
Haste Ye Back, mate. Even if we disagree at times, you're a top poster. Discussions always need an alternative view.

16 Apr 2026 07:15:36
Sometimes people post in frustration, example: first half against Falkirk. Players leaving, some can't wait to see back of Tav, some want an extension to contract. Certainly not worth getting upset or annoyed at others' opinion, because, come end of season, if we don't win the league, Danny R will have his doubters and some backers.

By the way, I think we win the league this season, but it won't be the end of my world if we don't.

16 Apr 2026 07:18:39
StevieG, I agree the international breaks tend to be when things kick off, apart from expected post match over reactions.

16 Apr 2026 07:18:49
Even though we don't always see eye to eye, Angus, I hope you get back posting more. 👍

16 Apr 2026 07:34:52
So it's agreed ots the SFA Thata to value haha.

16 Apr 2026 07:35:01
Kaiser/Storm et al., I actually enjoy the arguments and discussions, and said before hold no malice and never carry any bad feelings over. However, I had noticed that old arguments were continually creeping into new threads and opinion being cast up.

Just couldn't be bothered with that.

I suspect like previous times I just need a break. At the moment I have no inclination to post when reading really, but when that feeling returns I won't be able to not post.

16 Apr 2026 07:35:07
Sorry, SFA to blame.

16 Apr 2026 08:50:12
Get back on Angus. A top poster and fellow moaning faced bluenosed old git. 🫡

16 Apr 2026 09:11:41
I must admit, Angus, sometimes I like to hear other people's views or opinions without having to post mate. ✌️👍🇬🇧

16 Apr 2026 11:13:05
I'm glad you're well, Angus. It's over the coming weeks, I'd like to see you posting as you are good at calming things down, whether it be a good result or a bad one, when everyone else is going over the top. Take care mate.

16 Apr 2026 11:16:54
No probs, mate. I was thinking 2 days ago I hadn't seen you post for a while, only reason I didn't ask is because I thought I was blocked. 🤣

16 Apr 2026 17:31:58
Storm, why would anyone block u, u speak your mind, but are certainly not offensive.

15 Apr 2026 17:34:13
Anyone picked up which youth team players traveled with the squad over to Spain?

15 Apr 2026 17:54:38
Don't think the majority travelled, U17s had a game last night, while the first team was in Spain.
Could be wrong though.

15 Apr 2026 18:01:51
Probably best if it's just the first team. Keep the focus, or could become a bit of a jolly with kids who aren't really involved.

15 Apr 2026 18:04:30
Very few apart from McGuire. Not sure if Munn went. Majority played last night for Under 19.

15 Apr 2026 19:24:31
McGuire and Scally are both in Spain with the first team.

15 Apr 2026 19:45:02
Cheers, Wsl.

15 Apr 2026 16:23:36
Storm, there's an app called football news Scotland that posts most of Rangers Review articles as well as other news outlets. I'm a bit of a tight wad too and don't like paying the extra. 😜.

15 Apr 2026 18:42:28
No probs, mate. Cheers. I'll have a look. 👍

15 Apr 2026 21:54:53
Thought I heard their app is free when you pay for Rangers review through their own site.

15 Apr 2026 15:34:43
Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this league.
What do you think our points tally will be at the end of the season?

It makes for dismal reading when you look at the points dropped due to all those draws.

15 Apr 2026 15:56:56
84 points, Bunnet.

15 Apr 2026 16:07:15
Very much doubt we'll go five matches unbeaten, but I doubt Hearts will either, and am convinced Celtic won't. Think even 81 points could do it, so I'll go for that.

15 Apr 2026 16:20:30
I think we'll get to 82 points.

Sure, there will be a draw in there somewhere.

15 Apr 2026 16:26:38
3 wins against Motherwell, Hibs and Falkirk. 2 draws against Hearts and them, and we will win league.
Both Hearts and them will drop points in away games v Hibs and Motherwell.

15 Apr 2026 16:55:36
Agreed, Dundee, we do as you said, we win the league.

15 Apr 2026 16:56:17
I agree with Gaz, 82 points should win us the league title. 👍🇬🇧

16 Apr 2026 08:47:36
We are the form team, and with form comes confidence, and a League win gets us CL football next season. Celtic will sell either Nygren or Engels, maybe both, and so will be even more diminished for next season. That's what I reckon.

15 Apr 2026 14:12:04
I see a lot of talk about selling players, me included but realistically do we need to sell. Somebody broke it down and projected we could have a 8 to 10m transfer kitty to stay with UEFA rules then cavanagh put out the 16m share issue stated that some will be used on the squad. anyone further info.

15 Apr 2026 15:16:48
Yes, we absolutely must sell players. No good to anyone having a bloated squad wasting lots of money on wages. I would like to see Dio and Bajrami leaving this summer.

15 Apr 2026 15:38:57
It's not about we have to, but we should be selling 2 players every summer from 1st team and reinvesting.

I'd say Dio and Raskin would be best to move this summer, but I'd throw in Gassama too.

15 Apr 2026 15:53:19
Should be selling a couple and bringing in a couple every year when you have a winning team, hopefully improving the team as we do, and the owners will get us there. This rebuild every year just makes things harder.

15 Apr 2026 16:11:16
We have enough leaving end of loans and out of contract. Don't think we need to sell any of our starters. Can sell off a few fringe players like Bajrami them that's enough out.

15 Apr 2026 16:12:15
Gassama will only be getting settled, Stevie, only in the country around nine months, mate.
Diomande, Danilo, Bajrami, Cifuentes, and Cameron, sold. Not be far from 15m, plus we'll save over a million on Davies salary.


I wouldn't be selling anyone signed last summer except Cameron. I'd try and sign Djiga. If Olsen doesn't get 3/4 MOTM or turn it on, I wouldn't even be thinking about signing him.

15 Apr 2026 16:14:44
Apologies, I worded it wrong. I get fringe players or players not performing, but what should have said 1st team players, talk of Chermiti, Raskin, Fernandez.

15 Apr 2026 16:37:32
We need to start the player trading model and get it right as the owners can't keep doing share issues.

15 Apr 2026 16:43:22
It would be nice if we could sell one big money player for a good profit every summer window.

15 Apr 2026 17:00:33
Cavenagh has said that himself, when he said the player trading model won't start until we're the best in the country.
Three Cheers, possibly could be a big sale, mate, but it's on Rangers' terms now. We couldn't say that for a while.

15 Apr 2026 17:54:07
Loads desperate to sell Raskin. He is still young enough that we could get a couple of more seasons and then sell. Don't get the desperation to get him out this summer.

15 Apr 2026 18:20:37
Beale, I don't see Gassama improving much, he lived in Sheffield before moving here, so it's not that different a place to live that it makes u play poor for a year.

I reckon £5m or thereabouts and we sign a better player than him.

15 Apr 2026 18:43:49
Stevie, I'm talking about he's just been getting settled in his house etc, 9 months is nothing mate, he's showed in many glimpses now he can play.

15 Apr 2026 22:19:25
Beale, u will know more than me how long and what it takes for a player to settle somewhere so I will bow to you in that sense.

I just think he's another Matondo.

More talent than Rabbi but same in the hot and cold form for me.
I'd just rather cash in now than wait a year, and he's had a rotten season and we're stuck with him.

15 Apr 2026 23:19:07
Beale, would u take £5m for him if offered?

16 Apr 2026 07:21:47
Stevie, I agree about 9 months, think as I didn't want to reply to Mystar and start another back and forth, so am glad you did. Different country, 9 months when he played in Sheffield. Stevie, please don't bow to anyone.

16 Apr 2026 07:36:24
Storm, it's amazing u and I agree more than we could've imagined a year ago haha.

I don't mind bowing to friends, it's a bit respect, mate.

Still think Gassama pish though haha.

16 Apr 2026 11:07:49
I think we do need to sell. We have a lot of players who are not good enough to take us to the level we were at when we last won the league and got to the EL Final.

I would sell Souttar, Nsiala, Diomande, Bajrami, Antman, Gassama, Aasgaard, Cameron, Cortes, McCausland, Cifuentes.

We will lose Tav, Davies, Djiga, Aarons, Meghoma, Cornelius, Moore, Olsen, Rice.

The amount of deadwood there is frightening. This summer is another massive rebuild. We might loose our key players to bids.

I suspect we will keep Souttar for our euro quota and I would hope to retain Djiga and Moore. Its pretty obvious that we have to clear the decks and get a lot of deadwood off our books.

15 Apr 2026 10:47:11
The enigma that is nico Raskin and on Sunday we seen the two different contrast to his play. Brutal 1st half 2nd half outstanding and one of the main reasons we won that game.

For the rest of the season we need the nico that played the 2nd half. I just hope he does it. As it will go along way in helping us win the title.

15 Apr 2026 11:22:22
Raskin sitting first half, second half more advanced, far better player when bursting forward.

15 Apr 2026 11:53:06
First name on the team sheet for me.

15 Apr 2026 11:55:11
Shhh! Don't tell Sixteenninety. 😉

15 Apr 2026 12:04:56
First name for me is Fernandez, I still can't believe how much his game has improved in a few months, would love him being a Rangers player next season, but really have my doubts.

15 Apr 2026 12:17:42
Think u could use that description for just about every player in our team just now, Storm. We need more than 45 min performances if we want to get over the line.

15 Apr 2026 12:26:27
I thought you would have said Chermiti for your first name on the team sheet, My star. 🤔

15 Apr 2026 12:31:50
Fernandez sws, it's rather nice having a choice, mate.

15 Apr 2026 12:43:57
There is a good interview on Rangers Review with Raskin explaining a lot about his role and the tactics under Danny. Worth a look if you're able.

15 Apr 2026 13:38:31
I'll try and find it, Kaiser. It is usually under a pay wall, Rangers Review, and I refuse to pay.

I know you can say that about most, mate, but Raskin has taken some stick recently, and I don't think he has been as bad as some make out. He hasn't been great tho. It was just very noticeable on Sunday, each half, I thought.



It ain't a big one for 1st name on the team sheet.

Our defence hasn't been great the last few games, losing a few goals, but granted we scored more.

Manny is part of the defence, but am a big believer of defending from the front. So it's not just the defence to blame on that one.

15 Apr 2026 13:41:26
Aye, just read the RR piece and interview with Nico Raskin. It gives a great insight into why the team plays at a slow tempo on occasion, all to do with tactics and shape, but, more importantly, how the opposition line up against us.

Rohl is very tactically astute when it comes to seeing what is required to turn games in our favour, hence the reason why we start some games as we do and finish stronger. It might not be for everybody, but it explains a lot.

15 Apr 2026 13:46:57
Same mystar, Manny first on the team sheet for me, followed by Rommens. I've always had a soft spot for Nico, but I honestly feel that it's more his character than his football. He's a fiery character with a bit about him, but imo, his signing overall has been a total mixed bag imho.

It's frustrating because we all know exactly what he's capable of. It's consistency with him.

15 Apr 2026 13:59:02
The 6 goals were great, but for me the best thing about that game was how happy the players were after. Did you see their faces - Raskin, Aasgaard, Chermiti. They were genuinely happy. This will be important for the run in. We need a strong team harmony and mentality.

15 Apr 2026 14:00:35
I always think Raskin is better as an 8. He plays well at 6, but he can burst forward and take men on.

15 Apr 2026 14:11:47
Rohl has to shoulder a big part of the blame for our poor first half. It was Rohl that set us up in a 4231 with a number 10. I would have thought by now that Rohl would know that system just doesn't work for us. I'm glad he realised at HT that it wasn't working and changed to 442 otherwise we could have dropped more points. Pundits and Analysts have all said we look a far better team playing 442. We have to stick to 442 for the run in, if we do we will have a great chance of winning the title.

Raskin is our best attacking midfielder, much better than Diomande who I think is finished at Rangers. I also think patience has ran out with Skov who looks completely disinterested.

My team for the run in would be (if fit).

Butland
Sterling Djiga Fernandez Rommens
Moore Raskin Chukwuani Gassama
Miovski Chermiti

🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵

15 Apr 2026 14:25:08
Hundred percent, 🪃 Boyle, I did ask yesterday, but now I know.

15 Apr 2026 15:40:19
1st name on team sheet is Butland.

Then Manny for me.

15 Apr 2026 15:41:23
That's why Rohl said he went 433:-.
"We can also switch shapes more quickly. Against Falkirk on Sunday in the end we played 4-3-3."
"We adjusted again and played with three midfielders. I try to be flexible."

His words. Just saying.

15 Apr 2026 15:58:14
Raskin in front of Chucky and Barron could be an option away at Tynecastle and Parkhead and def definitely used away in Europe next season.

15 Apr 2026 16:32:06
I agree, Marco, the team harmony looks great. And the way they celebrated, even with Aasgaard sticking the nut in Raskin.

15 Apr 2026 16:40:36
Miovski was playing just behind Chermiti, Fork. I agree.

15 Apr 2026 18:26:41
It's what Rohl said, bud, 433 not 442. It's a direct quote from his mouth at interview, it's online and in the papers. 100% his words. 👍👍

15 Apr 2026 19:05:20
Think that was when Barron came on, Fork.

15 Apr 2026 19:29:45
Aye probably was Star. 👍

15 Apr 2026 21:16:48
Aasgaard is our best attacking midfield player, never seen someone elevated like Raskin is he has one 45 minutes every 3 months cause he wants to stay fit for a world cup and he becomes a world beater every time

He's not as good as John Lundstram was, don't forget it.

15 Apr 2026 21:21:52
Raskin's been average for us across his whole time here, he turns up for 45 mins then disappears for games.

He wasn't doing this last season, almost like there's a world cup coming up and him trying to make sure he stays fit could cost us the title.

You don't think so, that's the contrast in the first and the second half, he could be the best player in the team but he performs like the first half 85% of the time across this season.

Never a captain btw, you can't fall out with 2 managers be known to not take instructions and be leaking the team when you're unhappy and be a captain.

He's worse than John Lundstram, never hit his level, never had a performance better, and if you think honestly he has, just go back and watch the euro final run, he's never put in performances like that for us, he's been here longer. Rate him properly, give the 8m striker a break and maybe point at the guy YOU think is the best player in the team, how can he not be criticised ever?
