Rangers banter 7

05 Dec 2025 04:00:03
People are talking about taking borna, Kent and the buffalo back. imo I would take all 3 back at the right wages but I honestly think the one we should go for the most is borna we need lb cover even if it's 6 months.

05 Dec 2025 06:44:11
I really cba with this nonsense, one trick pony, a fat drink driver and a guy whose best days are behind him.

05 Dec 2025 06:47:33
Those who are "Talking" about bringing back these players are no doubt the stirring media or delusional sound biters or agents trying for a last payoff 🤔club will NEVER progress if even one of these names return - steer well clear IMHO and allow DR to build his own progressive squad - not highly paid fillers.

05 Dec 2025 06:57:35
People? It's one poster. The same one that thinks we could sign Jobe Bellingham on loan 😂.

05 Dec 2025 07:43:45
No offence to anyone

But… Haha brilliant fork
About time someone said what most were thinking 👏👏

Spot on mate.

Honestly what is happening to the support

We should be demanding much much better.

05 Dec 2025 08:17:00
Great let's bring back all the players who barely tried a leg after 55 except in Europe and totally downed tools after the Euro final and have flopped everywhere since. Good one, just what we need.

05 Dec 2025 08:24:05
We need to move forward. We need a core of Scottish players 5/6 starters and a couple of maverick's. A strong spine to our team. Domestically especially we should have a proven goal scorer. Mcoist/ Boyd type. Actually build a team that complements the players and actually play to their strengths.

05 Dec 2025 08:29:55
Barisic!
Sorry RFC, but do you remember his last season, still the same poor defending and getting forward less to put on crosses.
The best we saw him and Tav was in Gerard's time, they were at a good age and had cover to go forward with Jack and Kamara.
We need better players and not old ones in the twilight of their careers.

05 Dec 2025 09:06:56
If you "really cba", Fork, then why are you replying to it? Just saying bud! 😁.

05 Dec 2025 09:18:21
Nonsense. None of these guys should be back through the door. I'm sure Rohl has players he's after.

05 Dec 2025 09:22:43
Nope nope and nope. Correct Scott 🤯.

05 Dec 2025 09:46:10
Haven't seen Asa post for a while,?

05 Dec 2025 09:56:36
Barisic that would feign injury when the old firm came around, yeah great idea 💡 nothing like thinking outside the box 📦.

05 Dec 2025 10:30:37
No your just being the fuds fud as per usual😉🤣👍.

05 Dec 2025 10:32:36
That's like having a dose, getting it cleared up then wanting another.

05 Dec 2025 10:57:09
What core of scottish players would you suggest Bunster
Anytime player from scottish league we get the usual response, not Ranhers class.
Looking at team at present how many in that team are so called Rangers class.
We have Souter, Barron getting game time, but not many more. got to imagine Rohl does not rate rest or why would he still be playing most of who started last game.


Everyone says his hands are tied but why would you keep picking under performing players.
Can't keep sacking managers but have serious reservations about Rohl, only time will tell he has at least summer to show marked implement, with players get gets in in Jan.

05 Dec 2025 11:22:24
Storm gee yerself peace mate, you'd disagree with me if I told ye the sky was blue

Scott, what's absurd about that?

05 Dec 2025 11:49:41
Looks like i have triggered Forky?! Sorry bud if the truth hurts. 😁😁.

05 Dec 2025 12:13:07
I think Sakala is also out of contract in the summer too - let's get the full band back together.

05 Dec 2025 12:30:20
Lol all gd Sister😉👍👍.

05 Dec 2025 12:36:05
Stevie can you not remember barisic losing a goal at his back post just about every time he felt confident enough to play against celtic? In his last 2 seasons there was 3 occasions were he played up until the Celtic game, miraculously got injured for one game and was back the next game 🤯 it was a running joke on here that he was a bottle merchant went it came to playing celtic.
Then there's alf. Can you remember a commentator in Europe laughing out loud because he couldn't believe the size of him? Constantly trying to work his ticket to leave. 3 goals against our biggest rivals, on and off field problems Constantly.

Brilliant in Europe but never really performed in spl, especially his last 2 season's scoring 10/12 goals in both those season's.
Ryan kent. Great at getting us up the park but his end product was woeful at times, scored 3/4 goals a season.
I keep reading poster's say they're better than what we've got, but John, tomthumb, fork and parlane would be better than what we've got and i'm pretty sure they're all in there 70's (my bad if that's wrong guys) we need to sign players because we think they will win us titles not just because they're better than what we've got, as that isn't a high bar to aim for.

05 Dec 2025 13:15:02
Don't think Borna has played a game since he had a Cruciate Ligament tear last season. I'd take Kasanwirjo back seems to have rehabbed well in Norway and is the correct side of 30. More strings to his bow as well being able to play anywhere in the backline.

05 Dec 2025 13:45:30
That's BB aff the Christmas list🤬 nae where near it😉🤣.

05 Dec 2025 16:44:54
Ock well fork 😂.

05 Dec 2025 16:58:38
Jesus, strike me off too fork, I'd just bought you an electric blanket as well.

05 Dec 2025 17:00:29
Shocking I'd just wet the bed😳🤣.

05 Dec 2025 17:22:47
I've always liked that word "FUD". Fork. A real old Glesga word.

05 Dec 2025 19:29:03
Makes a change from wetting your frilly panty's, Fork. Are you still sitting down to pee? 😁.

05 Dec 2025 19:42:20
Of course got to drip dry😉😇.

05 Dec 2025 19:54:15
Bunster
Spine Team Scottish abs b@@@@. We're a farty little country handicapped by demographics. Population 6m max with possible football talent 0.01 per cent that. That means talent abs minimum. America growing nation but pop. 100 million with majority 18-25. Scotland max population full grannies and half dead unemployed 50 plus. We shouldn't be handicapped like this.

05 Dec 2025 20:07:06
Fork i don't know where i got that from, my bad mate 😂.

05 Dec 2025 21:02:01
Not a problem bud "I'm old not obsolete "👀🤣.

05 Dec 2025 22:27:19
Stevie I take it that it was you that said we could sign Bellingham then 😂 I couldn't remember so reel yer heid in. If I don't agree with you that's because I don't have the same opinion that is all not a big deal. Grow up.

06 Dec 2025 15:11:33
Fair enough storm.

04 Dec 2025 22:14:04
Rice
Rothwell
Matondo
Dowell
Cornelius
That would be my five Cornelius because he will out for most the season.

04 Dec 2025 22:47:52
What 5 mate.

05 Dec 2025 09:23:08
5 aside team Stevie.

05 Dec 2025 09:39:05
LOAN RETURNS OUT -
Djiga, Cornelius, Aarons
FREE OUT -
Matondo, Dowell, Rothwell
LOAN OUT -
Danilo, Chermiti

IN - (SPL experience)
Kieran Bowie
Jack Milne
Ced (the Ted) Itten
Cerny (loan? )
George Edmondson (loan? )
Ross McCrorie.

05 Dec 2025 10:08:34
NS good way to
Make us go from rubbish to still rubbish.

05 Dec 2025 11:05:07
Jesus 😂 Itten McCrorie and Fridge that can't be a serious post.

05 Dec 2025 11:08:16
Any evidence to support your take on it? Adding 3 Scottish internationals, and essential SPL proven experience, with players that are going to be available and useful. Also, they wouldn't require a settling in period, and are affordable. Maybe not trendy to be positive on here.

05 Dec 2025 11:49:53
Why don't we bring back Amarouso Jorg Albertz and Philip Sebo while we are at it! Really is silly season.

05 Dec 2025 11:58:12
McCrorie recently player of the month and tipped to be in world cup squad. Contract up in summer.
Itten currently at 5 goals in 12 for this season.

05 Dec 2025 12:14:59
No surrender.

I've watched a bit of Bowie and I've not been impressed.

Milne looks like a decent prospect and I'd welcome McCrorie with open arms.

05 Dec 2025 13:16:00
So we should go back to two ex players who never got a sniff when they were here and Ross McCrorie who is usually injured. He won't got to the WC unless Scotland have major injury problems at right back.

I would take Cerny back if we could.
Don't see how Milne can be SPL experienced when its really his breakthrough season and while Bowie looks decent prospect he's not really scoring a lot of goals.

05 Dec 2025 13:48:11
Aye bowies serious moonlight tour was great😉👍.

05 Dec 2025 16:51:43
To be honest all these players have worn the jersey with a different level of success and it's time to move on regardless of the level our current squad is at the moment.
Got to agree we have regressed as a team since winning 55, but hopefully DR can add quality players in the next transfer window.

05 Dec 2025 19:17:45
I think we have just named Michael J Fox as our new director of Football as we are going 'back to the future' this often with fans players choices.

05 Dec 2025 22:28:39
Bowie scored one great goal one Europe and some thought he was great never stood out when I had seen him play.

06 Dec 2025 08:20:53
Echoes of Mc Fudden.

04 Dec 2025 21:52:43
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, West Ham United v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

04 Dec 2025 21:33:01
Current first team squad.

GK Butland / Kelly / Wright

LB Meghoma
LCB Cornelius / Nsiala
RCB Souttar / Djiga / Fernandez
RB Tav / Aarons

LCM Dio / Bajrami / Thelo
CM Raskin / Barron / Rice
RCM Cameron / Rothwell / Dowell

LW Gassama / Curtis / Moore / Matondo
ST Danilo / Miovski / Chermiti
RW Antman

Being optimistic, if you could move 5 on and bring 5 in January, who would they be?

04 Dec 2025 21:47:07
My five are
Dowell (never fit and not good enough)
Matondo (no explanation needed)
Diomande (Hasn't kicked on and feel we need to sell soon to try and get some funds in)
Assgard (not at the level we need and for similar reasons as Diomande)
Chermiti (we will take a huge hit on him but if we can loan out it could free up wages to bring another striker in)

That's my first five.
Good post EHL.

04 Dec 2025 21:48:39
The 5 I would move on are the goalkeepers, defence, midfield, strikers and subs.

04 Dec 2025 21:58:22
Matondo waste of money on big wages
Dowel, Had his chances and not taken it
Danilo, Had his chances not taken it.
Tav, good servant but his time is up
Rice, Probably going anywhere.

04 Dec 2025 21:58:59
5 out are easy: Rice, Dowell, Matondo, Nsiala and Rothwell as they aren't playing and no amount of rosy retrospection makes any of them the right players for us now. on who we bring in I just can never do that; don't know enough about any player out there.

04 Dec 2025 22:03:35
Sorry, missed Sterling at RB.

04 Dec 2025 22:04:53
EHL while it wouldn't happen I'd reverse it and say which 5 would you keep?
LB Meghoma
LCB Cornelius
LCM Bajrami
CM Raskin
RCM Cameron 

When I look at the squad from last years to this squad its frightening how much damage RM and the twa idiots did to our club

Loan rice, Nsiala and Curtis out, they need games I also believe wee Barron is worth a squad place.

04 Dec 2025 22:05:40
I would move on Dowell, Matondo, Rothwell, Aasgaard and Danilo. Different reasons for each decision but the underlying theme is failure to deliver.
I don't have names to bring in but we need strengthening throughout the spine of the team - some backbone would be a nice change.

One of each of the following please from Santa: centre back; central midfielder; and a goal scorer would be welcome.

04 Dec 2025 22:08:42
5 out:
Djiga, Tav, Aaron's, Dowell, Matondo.

5 in:
Messi, Saliba, Trent Alexander, McTominay, Kane.

04 Dec 2025 22:12:54
Rothwell, Dio, Danilo, cancel Djiga loan, and if we can even arrange free transfers for Dowell and Matondo let them go.

Get a cm, a RW, ST, LB and a CB.

04 Dec 2025 21:15:18
For me i'd move on Matondo Chermiti Dowell Djiga and Rothwell.

04 Dec 2025 22:21:23
Djiga, Dowell, Matondo, Danilo, Antman.

Then on January 2nd: Aarons, Aasgaard, Rothwell, Miovski, Chermiti.

Replaced by Intelligence, Pace, Strength, Energy, Goalscorer.

04 Dec 2025 22:40:40
You could pick five from the defense alone, never mind the rest of the squad.
Looking at that squad, I'd have to say it's one of the worst I've seen. We're winning nothing with these players.

04 Dec 2025 22:59:44
Some pretty consistent responses.

I'd look to return Djiga and Cornelius and sing 2 solid CB, probably unrealistic but at the level of Popov and Kabak who are out of contract in the summer.

Dowell for an natural 6 with some dig - again wishful thinking but like Martel.

Matondo for a RW, would love to see Cerny back.

Chermiti just to go do we can move on from the deal.

05 Dec 2025 02:52:37
Think we'd really struggle to sign Martel an excellent 6, kabak and popev probably will get better offers but would love both tho kabaks injury history is a worry.

05 Dec 2025 02:58:32
Ehl my knowledge of the markets we need to shop in isn't as good as yours mate, just going to go woth what I know

Return Djiga and Cornelius, move on dowel Rothwell sell Miovski

I'd bring in, realistically,
Katic as yous all know lol
Jobe Bellingham on Loan
Cerny permanent
Morelos
Sima loan to buy.

05 Dec 2025 03:53:57
I would move more than 5 my list would be
Djiga/Rothwell / Dowell/Thelo/Matondo/Danilo/Aarons and send Chermiti back to Portugal on 6month loan.

05 Dec 2025 07:04:18
Think you could move on the majority to be honest but that wasn't the quesiton being asked lol.
A bit dissappointing to see that only 6 players out of that list are Scottish. I'd be looking to get back to the transfer business of the past when we bought up the best players from the league that know the league.

I get this doesn't work when competing in Europe but for me our bread and butter should be priority. Guys that are proven in the league.

05 Dec 2025 07:45:15
We can't afford Cerny.

05 Dec 2025 07:45:21
So after giving my sales done a bit of research so here's my 5 in,

CB - Panayiotov
LB - Milan Pisky
6 - Jens Hjerto-Dahl
RW - Maswanhise
ST - Denis Alibec.

05 Dec 2025 08:43:40
Chermiti, Rothwell, Aasgaard, Cornelius, Djiga.


Not a clue who to replace them with - all replacements must at very least have fitness, aggression, ability and pace.

05 Dec 2025 09:24:57
Chermiti is on more than Matondo 🤯 I would get rid of them all.

05 Dec 2025 10:02:08
Hopefully Thelwell gets a job quickly and sign's Chermiti again 🙏 not sure what that boy has on him but it must be something really bad. Djiga Rothwell Aasgaard Cornelius.

05 Dec 2025 10:10:50
I'd look to move on,

Cornelius, dijga, Rothwell, Chermiti and Aasgaard.

I'd look to bring in 2 CBs, 6, ST, and do all I can to get Cerny back in.

05 Dec 2025 11:07:20
SamofOrange - agree that the likelihood of getting players like Martel, Popov or Kabak is very slim.

Martel in particular - whomin think will head to the EPL.


But I think we need a base of RCB, LCB and DCM that's real quality to allow us to build from - finding players we can afford, who are of that quality and want to come to Scotland is the challenge though.

05 Dec 2025 11:24:57
Scott how can we not afford cerny 😂😂

Tell me how YOU know we can't afford cerny?

Hed cost about €5m.

05 Dec 2025 12:57:45
Exactly Stevie we spent 10m on Chermiti we could have afforded him if we wanted him. Reality was Thelwell wanted his own guys.

04 Dec 2025 19:55:37
Anyone fancy a loan move for Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham?

Is that a realistic move we could pull off.

He's really struggling for game time and his family are causing a lot of trouble and unrest at the club.

04 Dec 2025 20:25:01
We've enough trouble and unrest already, don't need moody parents adding to our rising woes.

04 Dec 2025 21:13:56
His family were causing problems when he got game time. That's not what we need at Rangers.

04 Dec 2025 21:24:27
I feel u shota. Somehow though I don't see them moaning about jobe not getting a game for us haha.

04 Dec 2025 22:21:41
Stevie, He didn't perform constantly well for Sunderland either mate, we don't need more players having a good game every 4/6 games, we've got enough of them already, constant performers needed, hopefully a few quality players arrive in January, could make such a difference for us.

04 Dec 2025 22:50:29
U wouldn't take him then Beale maye no?
Surprised at that but I value your opinion mate.

05 Dec 2025 00:30:41
Better than what we've got attacking from midfield, but he's not nearly constant enough Stevie, Dan Neil would be a good signing for Rangers, ooc June 2026, best Sunderland cm last season mate, not sure if his club has year option, not sure of his wage either and will be other clubs interested in him in better leagues.

05 Dec 2025 03:00:54
Beale I have seen they're looking to bring someone in to replace Dan Neil in January so I don't think they're going to keep him another year.

We could bring him in as the 6 that would be great.

05 Dec 2025 03:56:56
Jobe is a great player he will leave for £30/40 million but he's no good enough for Rangers some folk sayed they would not take McTominay when the rumour was Rangers and Celtic were trying to loan him.

05 Dec 2025 07:29:43
Fantasy n lunacy in the one thread.

05 Dec 2025 08:12:13
Fork and what are you meaning
with that post? or is Stevie not allowed to ask that question?
Mental anyone not talking McTominay Rfc, Jobe isn't what Rangers are needing right now, plus we don't need players coming off or not starting and his family hitting out.

05 Dec 2025 08:53:28
Stevie just reading about Roma being interested in Neil, don't know if it's true though.

05 Dec 2025 09:26:46
RFC it's not that he isn't good enough he is trouble and his family are trouble. He won't go for that amount either not any more unless it's some daft English club.

05 Dec 2025 10:37:11
Can ask what he likes, but ask something in the realms of reality, not pipe dreams, oh and he's a big boy he can ask me himself.

05 Dec 2025 11:29:06
He'll prob go back to England in a loan with £20m option

We had Fabio silva a few years ago and Ramsey who nobody believed we'd get

It's football ots not impossible to get a good deal done if the player wants it.

Both bellinghams grew up watching Ferguson play for Birmingham. M
Jude said Barry was his footballing idol so there's that. Also Jude having played here and the family here to watch him including jobe.

05 Dec 2025 11:52:30
Fork he's hardly getting played right now.

05 Dec 2025 11:57:52
England is more realistic stevie, I get what you mean but it's just a pipe dream n hope for a better level of playing staff all round at our club.

05 Dec 2025 12:39:53
I get that Star but he's on €3m rising to€5m, rough guess 50k a week, who is paying that? Not realistic unless Dortmund want to cover 60-70% of his wages or it all.

05 Dec 2025 13:24:53
Five to go would be Djiga and Aarons returned, Rothwell, Chermiti and Danilo.
My five in would be,
Jamal Lewis currently at PNE but he would be on a free,
Harry Souttar
Shea Charles
Ethan Galbraith
Joel Piroe.


Like Mr Thelwell I don't really know the foreign market.
I can only assume that those wanting Morelos back haven't been reading about his current career and I say that as a massive fan of his.

05 Dec 2025 17:08:12
Wslgers Morelos is doing well right now, and poty in a treble side last season.
Fork don't want him anyway, but that wouldn't be far from Djiga mate.

05 Dec 2025 20:23:39
My Star, flopped at Santos, injury problems, involved in a DUI and loaned to a club back in Columbia where he is doing well. Hardly a CV that says bring him back.

05 Dec 2025 21:37:16
EHL - Do we know when the current loan deals expire for :
Didja
Cornelius
Aarons
Meghoma
The 5 players to move on :
Rothwell
Matondo
Dowell
Chermiti ( loan or sell at a substantial loss).
Danilo

Your knowledge of the transfer market will be better than most so who would you sign?

06 Dec 2025 10:28:02
Wslgers flopped, only there for six months, like many flop the six months at Rangers, that doesn't make them bad players.

04 Dec 2025 18:26:50
Supporters of a certain vintage may remember a striker by the name of Ally Scott. Chermiti reminds me of him, a fair amount of effort but low on end product.

04 Dec 2025 18:32:46
And also Billy urquht and marti Henderson.

04 Dec 2025 18:37:53
Much to my annoyance, Gerrard refused to drop Ojo. Big Clements kept playing Mc causland, now Rohl persists with Chermiti. Why? Surely he can see how poor he is?

04 Dec 2025 18:45:27
Is he getting forced to play him.

04 Dec 2025 18:52:58
Not that I agree, but I'd imagine his price tag is why he's playing.
You don't pay 8 million for a striker to sit on the bench.

04 Dec 2025 18:53:26
To be fair to Rohl he is limited in his options.
He has gave all his strikers game time and trying to see if Chermiti has something in his game cause at the end of the day we shelled a lot on him but it's not there with the boy.


How much did the United striker Sapsford cost? How much did Kenny cost at Celtic?
Chermiti not at their level and that's how bad this transfer was.

04 Dec 2025 19:00:08
By whom Bob Dylan?

04 Dec 2025 19:02:39
Rohl didn't pay 8 million for him Mark. Thewell did.

04 Dec 2025 19:51:10
Am not sure mate that's why a was asking.

04 Dec 2025 20:20:09
These guys like Scott, Urquhart and Henderson were much better than Chermiti. They also cost a lot less even comparatively speaking. Martin Henderson scored a few goals in Jock Wallaces first treble winning team when he took over from the injured Derek Parlane and played so well Derek was a super sub when he returned.

04 Dec 2025 19:23:54
Rohl didn't start him on sunday or last night he's got limited options so unless he plays Curtis who iv read the club have concerns over his fitness what ir who else can he play?

04 Dec 2025 20:49:05
Chermiti is a poor man's Sebo. Seriously, he is that woeful!

04 Dec 2025 21:14:50
Chermiti Miovski or Danilo take your pick they are all as bad as each other.

04 Dec 2025 21:29:31
Billy Urquart, not heard that name in a while John, Billy still managed to score goals in a below par Rangers team.

04 Dec 2025 22:00:30
Chermiti is giving more that he other two.
Best of a bad bunch.

05 Dec 2025 01:00:36
Eric Bo Anderson, only played 23 games but scored 15. Great return compared with the "three numpties".

05 Dec 2025 08:12:21
the sad news is Chermiti offers more than Danilo currently. think it's a rock, paper, scissors exercise when deciding who gets game time.

05 Dec 2025 13:29:38
Erik Bo Anderson, don't know what we paid for him but it was worth it for they two OF goals alone in that 3-1 win at Ibrox, sent though on goal by Big Jorg and finished with aplomb.

Add those two goals to The Hammers free kick and its one of my favourite OF games of all time.
There is no way Chermiti scores those goals and no way he'll even get 15 goals in his career at Ibrox.

054 Dec 2025 14:23:30
I remember them all very well well

Big Billy came from the Caley and scored against Rangers, in 77 or 78:, I think,, Billy scored twice in a high scoring friendly

Played v cologne and juve in a team with DJ, wee Tam, Bobby R, Parlane and Coop, oh and my big pal Bomber Jackson too

I'm sure I watched the juve and cologne games in the sellik end because the other end was knocked down,

Nit many can say that in The highlands, I loved big Billy.

06 Dec 2025 12:46:51
PH - Chermiti is giving didley squat🤔 and he looks like every game is a training session so its like playing with a man down - he needs to GTF ASAP.

04 Dec 2025 17:24:52
Huge difference between the sides even though they both lined up similar.
Rangers, 4-2-3-1.
Dun United - 3-4-3.
As soon as United won the ball back, 2-3 passes and they are trying to hit their wingers/strikers.
Knowing that both FBs will be out of position.
We get the ball back and it's side to side letting United regain their shape.

04 Dec 2025 18:14:00
and yet we had 32 shots to their 13 from our passing side to side. and their keeper made twice as many saves. Our issue is efficiency on the chances we had.

04 Dec 2025 18:40:19
Its pretty basic, we just don't have the techical quality in the front areas of our team to convert the half chances. These are differnt chances the other teams get as there often just 1 on 1 as we don't park the bus so they don't need a refined technical attack whereas we are trying to go through an entre team parked in the box so you need higher quality, combine that with a poor defensive display = 1 point.

04 Dec 2025 20:17:09
And yet we had double the possession.
So that's expected.
And yet only 30% of our shots were in target.
And yet 50% of Dundee's were.

04 Dec 2025 20:22:45
Apart from the two goals United never troubled Butland. We may have struggled to finish our chances but we were much better than them in every aspect of the game.

04 Dec 2025 21:00:45
£8 m wasted.

04 Dec 2025 21:16:39
Mph it's pointless no point mate. He only sees it one way. United less than half our chances and scored 2 goals and we needed a last min pen for a draw. So United were better when they were in possession than us.

04 Dec 2025 21:17:29
Wsl means nothing being better in every other way when it's goals that matter. We dropped points.

04 Dec 2025 21:34:52
Thought our style of play was the best I've seen from us in a while last night, the problem being our strikers couldn't finish and our defence are way way off it, although I want to see Cameron in team I think DR is improving our play he just does not have the players.

04 Dec 2025 22:37:29
correct MPH but your point was that we passed the ball side to side allowing them to regain their shape which wasn't the case and what I am arguing against.
we did have twice the possession, but we also had 2.5 times the shots, 1.7 times on target, 2 times touches in their box, 3 times as many successful final third passes, less total long balls. so if they had regained their shape then those figures show we were able to produce despite your claims of side to side football.

so my point was we didn't just pass it side to side (for once? ) but actually had quite a lot of end product created by more progressive passing without punting the ball long to our wingers as they did.
they were more efficient in taking their chances which isn't something I could argue against. but if we create 32 shots every game (the most by any team this season) then we will start to score more goals. Our issue is how open that leaves us at other end possibly.
btw good to have a chat about stats and how they can be interpreted to support an argument.

05 Dec 2025 05:07:25
Our quicker tempo against dundee United on wednesday night was absolutely there and we moved the ball forward through the lines much faster 🤔 Of course we undoubtedly missed a good few chances but the positive for me was we made a good few chances and if we had a top striker, we'd have won that game out the park 🤔Danny Rohl given time to build and mould has own team could be a really good manager for us imo 🤔.

05 Dec 2025 08:32:50
It's not efficiency, it's profligacy throughout the team.

05 Dec 2025 13:33:13
Stormtrooper I am not denying that but the initial post seemed to imply that United played better than us because of their system and that's just not true. We didn't do enough to win but in every measurable stat we were better than United and should have won if not for our awful strikers.

04 Dec 2025 15:49:10
Watched last night's game and the only defender i'd have is Meghoma and i'd be looking to replace the front 3 none of them will score over 10 league goals for us as for the midfield Barron and Raskin i'd look to keep but imo Raskin is going through the motions maybe he's away in jan i don't know so yiur looking at 6 or 7 1st team ready players needed and thsrs before you get rid of the players not good enough.

i'd thought maybe 2 windows was needed but it could well be more and the real possibility is that the weakest Celtic team iv seen in years are on course for another treble. Our new owners should be embarrassed by that and will get 1 chance to rectify things imo before fans turn there anger onto them.

04 Dec 2025 18:44:23
On current form, Butland Megoma would be the only ones I would keep. Raskin over rated and should be sold.

04 Dec 2025 19:31:18
He was constantly out of position last night left us so exposed in the 1st half.

04 Dec 2025 19:32:49
Agree 100% with Raskin just don't see it some will say but a Belgian international but doesn't do it at Rangers for me.

04 Dec 2025 21:19:44
If Bajrami can play consistently as well as he did last night I'd keep him.

05 Dec 2025 05:10:21
I agree Foolmonty 👍 Bajrami absolutely one of the most talented footballers we have at Rangers and easily for me our best no.10 mate 👌TJBB, i agree with you regarding Meghoma mate 👍i'd most definitely want to keep him if possible as i think he's going to only get better and better and become a terrific left back 🤔🇬🇧.

05 Dec 2025 08:18:12
Bajrami is at least fighting for the ball, which is more than can be said of others. if we had another 9 of him on the park i would be happy (in current displays at least).

04 Dec 2025 13:30:16
So after last nights lucky draw that could have been a win if Chermiti had removed the vaseline off his head and had scored that sitter. 9 points back from the jams with a game in hand and 9 points back from the jungle jims. Not the end of the world as we still have to play each of them 3 times. surely by then Rohl will have a system in place that brings the best out of mediocrity. Bajrami MUST now be a starter every game.

Would like to see him move in to replace Danilo who is a dud and always has been. Sterling on his way back is a plus. as is Djiga heading off and may never play for us again with some luck. move Tav into right centre back with Fernandez who will get better every game. nothing else to do but keep our chins up and hope the incoming window brings in a couple of Gems.

04 Dec 2025 14:39:44
We really need a pair of CBs big Fernandes is a squad player at best same for tav. Souttar isn't the standard required but hopefully back soon. We must sign two CBs as soon as the window opens.

04 Dec 2025 14:58:08
I think Tav, Sterling, Fernandez and Meghoma at the back will work until we strengthen in the window. Djiga for me is a bomb scare and doesn't even look Interested. His days should be numbered now. and Chermiti should be shipped out to a championship side down south either a loan or take as much as we can get.

When i look back at all the great strikers we have had that include Forest, Stein, McCoist etc, it makes me cringe seeing this imposter wear that shirt.

04 Dec 2025 15:05:33
Deecee it was two points dropped at weekend and last night we need to be winning those games,
It is the end of our challenge in the league for another season as can't see us winning all the games you are talking about.


Listen let's see who we manage to bring in and move on in January but again I will say it's a tough window to bring real quality in so realistically we should be looking at the summer window for real improvements.

04 Dec 2025 15:11:05
Gassama miss even worse.

04 Dec 2025 15:50:53
Only 9 points off it's not that bad because we play them another 3 times each we won't beat them and the problem is we cannot beat the rest either with that squad.

04 Dec 2025 15:05:05
Does anyone have real confidence we will get the win on sat night? I don't and think we are in a real fight to finish in the top 3.

04 Dec 2025 16:24:57
Realistically what is the level of Chermiti…I don't think it's championship or maybe even league 1 down south. He can't finish he's had a few like last night since he arrived and only goal he's scored was goalkeeping error.

He's a total write off for me, our only hope is to get him a loan abroad off whatever rep he still or may have and include and option to buy at a massive loss.

04 Dec 2025 16:47:39
This deal needs to be looked into.
8 million for him was ridiculous.

04 Dec 2025 17:06:10
Coully - Coisty said he wouldn't sign Chermissi even if he was free. Tend to agree.

04 Dec 2025 17:58:26
Naw because free was Lawrence shankland the best striker in our division…. and he's not that or anywhere close to it in any single metric…. maybe BMI if he's lucky haha.

04 Dec 2025 19:11:45
You couldn't argue with that comment Baxter.

04 Dec 2025 19:24:24
His miss last night was not unlike the missed header in the semi, he winced or bottled it thinking a challenge was coming, 6ft 5 he is and a unit yet he is as brave as a mouse.
