Rangers banter 6

06 Dec 2025 14:44:45
I thought there was some clear improvement in our attacking play against DU, energy and speed, just missing out on the finishing. Barjami looks like a new player and can unlock defences, even looked a bit faster. Hopefully against Killie we keep creating but this time take the chances.

06 Dec 2025 16:03:01
Believe it was the first time this season we've had more than 15 shots in a game and also had the keeper in trouble too, I could be wrong though. If only we had Dessers still.

06 Dec 2025 17:06:41
If we had a decent striker we would be 6+ points better off and probably in a cup final and that's with a guff team.

06 Dec 2025 12:36:19
Sterling unavailable for tonight.
injured already without playing any minutes?
Or more down to the surface?

06 Dec 2025 13:31:57
Rohl said he wouldn't play him on that pitch.

06 Dec 2025 13:37:20
Hopefully just not taking a chance on the surface. Roofe was available more than Sterling.

06 Dec 2025 13:38:08
Think the boss said it was down to the surface MPH, he's going to play others that have been ok on astroturf.

06 Dec 2025 13:48:16
good move--those plastic nightmares end careers. to play in the spl. grass or no dice.

06 Dec 2025 14:48:35
Mr ph. Not injured, manager said he won't play on plastic.

06 Dec 2025 15:12:49
Pretty sensible to not play him on that, right call.

06 Dec 2025 15:50:58
Storm - 🤣🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 16:34:31
If they can ban plastic straws, they can ban plastic pitches. That's what I say. Ban oil as well, mabye no the baby stuff though, the misses likes that after a wee bottle of wine or two🙏🏻 save the donkeys and snow leopards tae, while I, m at it.

06 Dec 2025 10:38:11
Regarding Chris Jack or whoever said we're interested in signing Dundee striker Simon murray the main point here is for all it would take to sign Simon Murray, would he be a good short term signing for us especially for our domestic games ? Could you please run a poll ED please ie.

would Simon Murray be a good short term signing for Rangers domestically yes or no ? Cheers ED and as usual very much appreciated pal ?.

{Ed033's Note -


Simon Murray poll

06 Dec 2025 11:12:10
Would rather bring in Shankland and he isn't good enough either.

06 Dec 2025 11:32:58
Walter, it would be a no from me.

06 Dec 2025 11:55:45
Oh dear!

This is a prime example of how many of our support have allowed their standards to drop in the gutter. Have a word with yourself Coops!

06 Dec 2025 12:00:22
Concerned that currently over a third polled think he could be the answer. Is this an I. Q test?

06 Dec 2025 12:02:18
Walter great to sign Murray. Obviously we r no longer interested in trophies 33years old, i'd give him a five year deal, scored less than Danilo and Miovski, same as Chermiti, 1 goal in 12 league games.

06 Dec 2025 12:51:19
Shank isn't good enough you probably said the same about dessers.

06 Dec 2025 13:03:15
Don't think Rohl has had enough time to check out Scottish strikers. I think he'll have some euro guys in mind.

06 Dec 2025 13:07:51
I actually think this would be a good short term signing. He bullies centre backs and holds the ball up well. Has an eye for a goal and is good in both boxes at set pieces.

Is he world class. no
But could he do a turn for us. definitely.

06 Dec 2025 13:20:47
It was Derek the ginger one on Rangers review who said we should sign Simon Murray. It was an opinion on a short not an actual claim of interest in the player. If you're talking about what I think you are.

06 Dec 2025 13:37:24
Nope, you are wrong Ryan. 👍
Consistently supported Dessers when others didn't, but always said we needed better.
We have replaced him with lesser quality strikers when others said Miovski was an upgrade.
But don't let facts get in the way of your opinion. 👍.

06 Dec 2025 13:38:21
Ryan you would be wrong he never said that about dessers.

06 Dec 2025 13:46:14
John, i'm not for one second saying we should sign simon murray my friend, i'm merely sharing what i was told 🤔.

06 Dec 2025 13:49:05
Correct MPH and Storm👍.

06 Dec 2025 14:36:02
Whether we sign simon murray or david murray there's one thing i do know ie. we need to sign players that can play in scottish football first and foremost 🤔.

06 Dec 2025 14:51:00
I'm blown away 80 votes for yes, All 80 of you need your heads checked! I'm a big advocate of signing players from the SPL but this is taking the pi55.

06 Dec 2025 14:52:47
Some one is extracting the Michael, Walter.

06 Dec 2025 14:58:43
MPH, we were never going to get better than a 25 goal a season striker who was rarely injured.

06 Dec 2025 15:16:50
He was one of his main backers on here ryan tbh mate. Some just don't like shanks mate and that's ok, as everyone entitled to there opinion.
I've always liked shankland though, it ain't ever going to happen now so.

06 Dec 2025 15:34:22
Even though just someone at wind up.
What would you class as short term loan.
No player is going to sign for less than 2 years.

06 Dec 2025 16:49:00
Would rather shave my ging gang gollies with a blunt spoon, I understand we are in a bad place but we need to keep a bit of decorum.
And it was the ginger one on RR who said it the other day, should be places we can send these people too, he can share a cell with Micheal Stewart.


Only joking gingers, I wouldn't even do that to you, single cell for that wee dobber. 😛.

06 Dec 2025 17:26:32
John allegedly chris jack also eluded to the interest from us in simon murray so someone is extracting the michael from him also mate 🤔.

06 Dec 2025 17:35:26
Chris Jack has said nothing at all about interest in Simon Murray. No tweets, not on the live stream and no articles. So either you've got your names mixed up, or someone has fed you a pile of manure SWS. As I've said above Derek the one that's ginger and does the Bolton games said he'd take Simon Murray to which Stevie from 4lads said no.

I watch most the live streams or I catch up on them so dunno where Chris Jack could have eluded to this.

06 Dec 2025 17:37:35
It's called click bait Walter. If we sign Murray at 33 with 1 goal in12/I won't be paying for corporate seats next season

Hope Cavanagh and Thornton at game tonight, I'll be having a word.

06 Dec 2025 18:00:32
Chris Jack never said we had interest coops that's a lie he said we should sign him. That is completely different to saying we have genuine interest 🤔.

06 Dec 2025 18:22:56
Coops honestly if you are told something or hear something and you decide to share it that's cool but you're like a dog with a bone and won't let it go and constantly repeating it in every response or creating needless polls about it.

We are not interested in a 33 year old striker from Dundee. Also it was another ginger on Rangers review that said we should take a punt on Murray but who cares what he thinks as he doesn't even support Rangers.

06 Dec 2025 21:08:58
Did Chris Jack actually say that Storm? I always wondered where the term you don't know Jack Sh*t came from.

05 Dec 2025 23:18:18
Is there anyone at leeds we could look at bringing in if wee cancle a couple off loans in January and do we think they will cancel any loans.

06 Dec 2025 07:26:52
That would go down well. More flops from England.

06 Dec 2025 09:43:21
Probably only send up dumplings that can't get in their squad. Just remember the last lifeless lazy unfit substandard so called baller we got from that mob. Aye he was a mainstay for them! No chance.

06 Dec 2025 10:02:16
Can remember in the summer we got linked with Gelhardt from Leeds, championship top scorer right now.

06 Dec 2025 10:06:56
Had thought would have been a good idea. Take the ones that helped create a winning team but not suited to a relegation scrap. Unfortunately the one we took gets knackered putting on his kit.

06 Dec 2025 10:14:42
We aren't in a multi club ownership model with Leeds.

As part of the takeover the new owners had to sign a declaration to this extent and lodge it with the SFA.

So I think we'd probably steer clear of dealings between both clubs as it would only bring this on to question.

06 Dec 2025 10:46:02
I'd imagine we need to sell before we can buy.
Looking at the squad during the week, it looks really poor. The worst I've seen in a long time.

06 Dec 2025 11:30:54
Doesn't need to be a multi club issue EHL If owners have good relationships or contacts with others at their other clubs why not take advantage. Wouldn't just avoid good players just because they part of 49ers or red bull teams.

06 Dec 2025 13:34:22
Joel Piroe would be a good signing from Leeds, proven goalscorer and has dropped down the pecking order after they signed two or three strikers in the summer.

06 Dec 2025 13:39:00
Only needs time apparently mark 👀 and they will get better.

06 Dec 2025 17:09:11
Storm people have different opinions and FYI University of Manchester did a study on this in the EPL using OPTA detail. they found that it can take up to half a season for players to find their form when transferring between Europe's biggest leagues. Spanish players seem to settle quicker. and those players will have greater ability and be at a higher original level than the ones we sign.
so if it is a known issue in England then it would surely follow logically that it will be an issue for players transferring to Scotland.
add in Martin's hash he made and whop knows when that transformation period started.

so yes they are poor but the studies show that given time players will find their form. I know you prefer to use your eyes but professional football clubs like to use data.

06 Dec 2025 19:22:02
Loans in January isn't the way forward. This league is gone and we should be building for next season.

05 Dec 2025 20:33:30
I reckon there are easily 10 £4m players out there who are miles better than what we have. Get £10m to £15m (excluding Raskin and Dio and Baj, I'd keep them) for the current crop of 10 starters and it costs £25m to £30m to walk this league! That's the reality lads, however easier said than done.

05 Dec 2025 23:02:05
There's 1000 £4mill players out there better than we have but can we find them and will the come?

06 Dec 2025 08:07:41
We spent about 25 million in summer there and reality is were not walking this league.

06 Dec 2025 08:53:24
Scotland too cold and league too poor for most decent players.

06 Dec 2025 09:01:33
Alloa we would then have a totally new team without a pre-season to fix patterns of play, etc. we would have 10 strangers who haven't ever played a game or friendly together so would it not take time for them to get used to one and other?

06 Dec 2025 09:44:28
Only 10? I recon there is thousands of 500k players better than we have.

06 Dec 2025 11:04:41
Angus that doesn't matter because the majority of our team look like they haven't played with each other anyway.

06 Dec 2025 17:14:45
correct Storm and that was with a pre-season, granted it was with Martin and his rotten methods.
Rohl is having to do it with 1 day between games on the training pitch so it takes time to instil his style into the team. we created more chances against DU than any team in the league has this season so just perhaps he is making headway.

next will come confidence as we hopefully start to take more of those chances.
we down have £40M to spend on players anyway so the conversation is mute. what we do have I hope we spend on 2-3 experienced pros in key positions. LB, CM and FW perhaps.

05 Dec 2025 19:33:51
Not a bad draw for Scotland. Brazil. Igaman's morrocco a tough one but you never know. great to be there.

05 Dec 2025 19:47:04
With the top two from each group going through plus the 8 best third place teams if Scotland don't get out of this group they should just chuck it.

05 Dec 2025 20:01:52
Morocco has a top squad, semi final last time.

05 Dec 2025 20:04:19
Jfm we'll beat Haiti, Morocco were semi finalists last world cup, very difficult game then Brazil. Not sure why you'd be so confident that we should mate.

05 Dec 2025 20:18:49
JFM, morocco will be very difficult to beat and are a much better team than the one we faced in 1998 my friend 🤔.

05 Dec 2025 21:44:34
Sir Walter the world cup is 28 years later. Not sure what 1998s got to do with it. Might make a good movie sequel right enough.

05 Dec 2025 22:23:25
Morocco are a good team but not as good as they were 4 years ago.

05 Dec 2025 23:04:34
JFM I think Sir Walter is right, the last time we were in a World Cup we faced Brazil and Morocco and it didn't end well against a lesser Moroccan team then!

05 Dec 2025 23:12:04
This world cup draw has whiffs of the '78 tournament.
Expect to beat Haiti- we'll get beat 3-0.
We will get beat by Morocco because they are better than us. Meaning we will go into the final game v Brazil needing a 2+ goals win to qualify as best 3rd place and probably beat them 3-2.

Ending our tournament in glorious failure!

😂😂😂.

06 Dec 2025 00:15:46
They are no where near where they were 4 years ago.

06 Dec 2025 06:57:17
Not sure how u can say they're nowhere near as good, won all 8 qualifiers, scored 22,conceded 2. That's a tough draw and got to hope win against Haiti could be enough.

06 Dec 2025 08:22:24
Its a tough draw however nobody knows how anyone will play next summer, past and even current form as you all know can go right out the window at a world cup, lots of big teams can fall flat and usually a few underdog storys. imo it might come down to goal difference for 2nd and lol you know what that means for us.

06 Dec 2025 08:36:53
Bring them all on …. Get wired right in about them. Anything can happen in tournament football. This group have (hopefully) learned from the EUROS.

06 Dec 2025 09:46:35
We are the Brazil of the north, let's set about them, they might dance the samba but we wear them.

06 Dec 2025 09:47:39
Not as good but rated higher than four years ago, many players used at the last won't be in this squad? very young squad in 2022, now have players added like Igamane, Morocco is a top national side.

06 Dec 2025 10:58:25
Exactly shota 😂.

06 Dec 2025 11:07:11
The rankings are rubbish in international football we all know that.
Oh look one of two people dared to have a different opinion I can't has that🤯 you need fail.

06 Dec 2025 11:37:03
Only one, but it was a very poor opinion, nobody is saying you can't have that opinion, but what Morocco players that played the semi final isn't in the squad for this one? without adding exceptional talent like Igamane.

06 Dec 2025 12:11:17
Igamane👀 who's he😉😇🤣🤣.

06 Dec 2025 12:39:19
We'll probably beat Brazil then lose to Haiti. That's the Scottish way lol 😆.

06 Dec 2025 12:52:10
storm you've got to be on the of the biggest hypocrites on here man jesus wept, is he not allowed to disagree with you 🤣.

06 Dec 2025 13:36:27
Morocco will have a stronger squad in my opinion, 17/18 from the last time then you've got a new batch, many talented young upcoming Morocco players right now, scattered all over Europe, probably the best rb in the world.

06 Dec 2025 14:45:14
Scotland have done brilliant to get to the WC considering Rangers and Celtics contribution to it is next to nothing. Top 2 sides in Scotland should be embarrassed by the amount of youngsters coming through at present.

05 Dec 2025 18:26:04
Antman voted Finnish players of the year…….

05 Dec 2025 19:45:33
comedy gold that is.

05 Dec 2025 20:15:24
Why? he had a good first six months with Go Ahead Eagles and maybe plays much better with his international team. That is also true of Aasgaard. Bajrami, Souttar and even Raskin at the moment. Maybe we should be asking ourselves why that is and trying to fix it.

05 Dec 2025 20:45:09
I hear you wsigers. but being voted like that is earned and from what i see thus far. he is bang average at best at club level. look at cerny who flew out of the blocks and never stopped in the same position.

05 Dec 2025 22:14:51
wsl the correct question to ask. whoever he won it they think he is a good player but we just haven't found the solution to get him to play to that level. or he is simply rubbish. same with the others who played well to get their move to us, whose interntational managers still have confidence in them.

are they all rubbish as well. I know which version of 'the truth' I believe.

05 Dec 2025 22:26:06
Deecee but it's the national side not clubs mate.

05 Dec 2025 22:45:04
Antman couldn't cross himself innthe chapel never mind the box. Another waste of money along with cortes, cifuentes, Fernandez etc

Absolute shambles.

05 Dec 2025 22:49:41
He was brilliant in the Dutch league we were so lucky to get him but sadly not doing it for us.

05 Dec 2025 23:18:04
deece its finnish player of the year not finnish player for the last 3 months playing for Rangers.

He hasn't been great since signing for Rangers but that's not all that comes in to it.

06 Dec 2025 00:16:58
Antman and a few others could be sold and re coupe most of the cash in January.

06 Dec 2025 04:32:28
Wslgers I've often thought about this and a few things come to mind but the main one is our fan base. Modern day players can't cope with the toxicity that emanates from the stands. One misplaced pass and people blow up. Look at the covid season. Our only title after the dark days. Explains everything. We were so used to success it's created an entitled mentality.

06 Dec 2025 08:38:32
I doubt anyone will sign an injured Antman in January.

06 Dec 2025 10:23:07
Remember most didn't like Bajrami last season, same want him starting now, so let's just replace the signings made in the summer, build a new team and six months down the line when they don't fire straight away we'll do the same the following year.

06 Dec 2025 11:36:50
I was really impressed with Antman in the short time I seen him.

Hopefully he can use his rehab and an opportunity to reset and we'll see a much more confident player.

06 Dec 2025 12:42:12
EHL, hope you're doing well pal🙏Have you heard anything at all mate in regards to any interest from Rangers, in dundee striker simon murray 🤔.

06 Dec 2025 13:39:45
Deecee, he must have earned the votes by his displays for his national team and in Hollland before he came to us. Maybe he is Finlands best players, after all they have had a poor qualifying campaign which makes it sound as if they don't have a lot of outstanding players at the moment.

I just hope he returns from injury and plays like he did in that first game for us.
