Rangers banter 8

16 Jun 2026 14:48:30
Looking at few post about what our new manager has won and I am not comparing but, what I will say is what did Walter or Alex win before they came to Rangers absolutely nothing and they certainly didn't nearly win the league with Hearts and push a Aberdeen side to second. We are all Hurting and expect a massive impact straight away when we're lucky to be even where we are. So let's get behind a fantastic Scottish manager who is a fan played for Rangers and knows the league like I know the direction to the toilet in my house drunk in the dark after a curry!

I firmly believe he will go down as a legend at our club

16 Jun 2026 17:54:27
Good points, Ryan. Hope you're spot on btw

16 Jun 2026 14:29:30
When do we expect the manager announcements? I'm assuming they are putting off any other announcements until after that also like new players or Rice extension etc?

16 Jun 2026 14:53:49
Obviously, Bee, something is delaying both announcements, ie. Danny Rohl to RBSalzburg and Derek McInnes to Rangers. 🤔 The Sun was reporting there's a hold up regarding something to do with Danny Rohl's backroom team. 🤔

16 Jun 2026 15:18:29
You must be quite keen on announcements, Bee, wanting someone to announce when the announcement is getting announced.

16 Jun 2026 15:23:37
What can I say, I love announcements!
The board has been a nightmare past few times we have changed managers, with the Gerrard chat, so just glad that it was done quickly (hopefully) this time.

16 Jun 2026 15:28:48
We should just announce Danny has left even if he hasn't sorted his backroom staff, that's not our problem now. 🤷‍♂️ What is our problem is the club letting us know what's going on instead of making us wait this long, no management announcements and no player announcements (apart from Shankland). Bit of a joke imo.

16 Jun 2026 15:44:55
Why would the club announce anything if everything isn't 100% finalised?

I think keeping things under wraps is a much more sensible approach, rather than releasing info ahead of time and risking getting egg on our face if something changes.

I want whatever works best for the club, not for me as a fan.

I'm sure we'll all know as soon as we're meant to know. Trust the process.

Patience, my friends. Patience.

16 Jun 2026 15:52:46
Do you not think that maybe, just maybe there have been no announcements as there are none to make at this moment in time?

Just because ITK posters/imposters on here post something is official, doesn't actually mean it is. Just sayin.

16 Jun 2026 12:17:43
For anyone ITK or has connections with the club.

Could you point me to reliable and trustworthy sources on you tube or other please?

16 Jun 2026 13:32:26
More likely to get good information on this site than most others.

16 Jun 2026 13:50:14
Gazza, I like Rangers review, most others r simply click bait, whatever you read, jus decide is it likely, for example, paying 20 million for a player. My personal view not happening.

16 Jun 2026 13:57:53
Thanks John.

You are one I have come to trust, and I appreciate your input.

Not that I know anything about our financial status, but I can't see us paying £20 million for a player either.

I'd love for Chermiti to stay, but if a bid comes in, that the club deems acceptable. That could get us 3/4 well needed signings in.

16 Jun 2026 14:04:17
Yeah, we can't afford to pay 20 mill for a player. Unlikely to ever manage that.

16 Jun 2026 14:34:05
What is the max you guys think we will spend on one player then? The £8 we paid for Chermiti? Or think we could go to maybe 12 for someone special? If we sold someone Hugh value.

16 Jun 2026 14:46:16
What's Hugh Value worth?

16 Jun 2026 14:54:55
I'd say 10, mb 12 for someone very special.

16 Jun 2026 14:57:33
I absolutely agree, Gazza. 👍 John is one of the very best posters on here, and can always be trusted for true, top info regarding Rangers. 👌 🇬🇧
Like yourself, Gazza, I appreciate the info from John and others very much, and I have shared this superb site with John for many years. 👍 🇬🇧

16 Jun 2026 14:59:07
4 lads and Rangers review are probably the best but this site has the information before them they just pretend a lot and have click bait. A can't see us spending anymore than 9m on player we simply can't afford to take that type of risk

16 Jun 2026 10:32:08
I liked Rohl. Nice guy I think. Job wasn't too big for him but his heart wasn't in it. We didn't chase him away. He wanted out and when that is known. Get rid. AC and the board would have known this for sometime and made contingency plans.
It's all good. Compensation of 2m will be welcome.


Many say McKinnes hasn't won anything. I think with his teams and budgets he's done remarkably well. He's the right manager for now.
It was mentioned on here that a CH had been signed and two OOC but no names. I hope they didn't come for Rohl. I'm excited the way things are shaping up Bears.

16 Jun 2026 12:54:30
Have to agree, WG, regarding people saying "What's he won?" Not really a fair question given that very few teams other than Celtic have won much in the last 10 plus years.

McInnes has always done better than expected with what's been available at each club in the Scottish Premiership, so let's all just get behind him and see where we are in 6 months.

Personally, I think it will be top of the league.

16 Jun 2026 13:01:49
McInnes had plenty of good players to have won more trophies at Aberdeen, so, to me, this look at the teams he managed don't sit.

16 Jun 2026 13:20:30
I think this bickering about DM has to stop. My own opinion is that certain intruders are orchestrating all this, and it is making a total a--e of the Club.

16 Jun 2026 13:20:53
I do think myself that Derek McInnes is exactly the type of manager/head coach we need right now at Rangers, and I think he'll be a good appointment. 👍 Although every appointment is a gamble just like signing players is also, I do think McInnes will be a successful Rangers manager/head coach.

👍🇬🇧 I have a good feeling about this and we'll have stability because he won't want to look to go anywhere else. 👍🇬🇧

16 Jun 2026 13:38:29
Let's be honest here, if we were to appoint a successful manager who knows the Scottish game, it's Rogers or Big Ange or possibly Neil Lennon. Anyone up for one of those three?

16 Jun 2026 13:47:07
"What's he won?" Absolutely a fair question. It was his job, as it was every other manager's job, in league or cup games, to go out and beat Celtic, so to ask what he has won whilst a manager at Aberdeen, Killie or Hearts is fair.

When we linked with any player, there is always one that comes on and says he only scores X goals a season, not for me, only makes X assists a season, not for me.

Why should it be any different for bringing someone's managerial wins into the equation? Plenty go on and on about SG only winning 1 in 9 on this site, so McInnes winning 1 in god knows how many is a fair statement to make.

16 Jun 2026 14:02:01
Weeker, finished second in the league five times, 4 cup finals, without the quality he'll have at Rangers.
Also, not a manager in our country gets his squad from last season minutes away from winning the league.

16 Jun 2026 14:22:01
I think McInnes is perfect for our club's foundations to finally go on to build better things.

16 Jun 2026 14:31:21
McInnes has won exactly what Alex McLeish had won before he came to Rangers.
McLeish then went on to win 7 trophies in 3.5yrs including a treble. All were won whilst O'Neill was Celtic manager as well, btw.

16 Jun 2026 14:31:44
And this is it, typically. I asked the question what has he done, simply because that's the same question most folk judge other managers on. I don't know if he will do well or not. He hasn't won anything in Scotland, got Kilmarnock humiliated in European competition by a pub team from Wales.

If that was Rangers, then he would be out the door before he even got back home.

I hope he does well as we are needing stability more than anything else. Soon our turnover of managers will outstrip our titles.

16 Jun 2026 15:06:57
Gees, didn't he win the League Cup with Aberdeen? Rangers have won three trophies in that time.

16 Jun 2026 15:07:07
SounessesMowzer, I said as much to 2 of my mates last night. 🤔 I stated the Derek McInnes appointment as our new manager/head coach reminds a lot of when we appointed Alex McLeish as our new Rangers manager a way back in December 2001. 🤔 Both had a very good knowledge of the Scottish league, having both done well at managing other Scottish clubs, i.e. McLeish at Motherwell and Hibs, and McInnes at St. Johnstone, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Hearts.

🤔 Both were deemed by some of our supporters, when appointed, that they weren't a big enough name and not good enough. 🤔 Both also massive boyhood Rangers supporters. 🤔 A lot of similarities, and look how very successful Alex McLeish was. 👌 If Derek McInnes is anywhere near as successful as Rangers manager as Big Eck was, then we'll all be very happy and back winning the league and being the best team in Scotland once again. 🙏 👍 🇬🇧

16 Jun 2026 15:41:40
Adj, you expect him to win more with an Aberdeen side with a fraction of the budget Celtic had. Rangers have only won 3 trophies since coming back up in 2016. Why would the Aberdeen and Killie manager be expected to win more than we have?
Fact of the matter is, he got Aberdeen to 4 cup finals and won 1. To me, that's a decent record considering Celtic were blowing everyone away at this point.


He also came within 3 mins of winning Hearts the league, when he absolutely should have been nowhere near it. He took Killie to Europe and he got St Johnston promoted.
He's a good manager who's earned his shot at Rangers. How many on here would have turned their noses up at Walter after Souness? Or Big Eck?

16 Jun 2026 16:03:31
Yes, he may have gotten 2nd in League, lost a few finals or whatnot, but the problem is, as Rangers fans, we all want the 1st place. We all want the trophy wins, or would you be delighted to have an occasional cup final and 2nd place finish?

Everyone championing McInnes as the saviour, like he will suddenly come in and turn our team around, just look at the managers who have failed to do that.

At least 2 who have been sacked were of a far superior quality to McInnes, with one being an ex "Rangers Man," which so many harp on about too, so just because he has played for Rangers and gotten Aberdeen a trophy and second place does not automatically mean he will suddenly take us back to our best.

16 Jun 2026 16:44:16
SWS, I would go as far to say that he's even more qualified than Eck was. He's got a lot more managerial experience under his belt.

Weeker, far superior quality? That's your opinion, which you're absolutely entitled to. If I'm not mistaken, though, our only manager in recent times who's been able to consistently get the better of McInnes and his teams was Gerrard.

And he stumbled his way through it to begin with. Just a thought.

In my opinion, McInnes was the man for the job last summer. He's the man for the job this summer as well.

16 Jun 2026 16:45:00
I would be expecting him with probably the best squad Aberdeen had in many a year, full of Scottish Internationals (Kenny McLean, Ryan Christie, Scott Brown etc) to come closer to Celtic than the 16, 17 and 30 points he managed. I would argue the squad was better than any we have had for the same time. We have finished 2nd in 6 of the last 8 and won one of them.

We have given a good few decent managers grief for that, so hopefully for us all DM settles and is successful. Despite my reservations, I want nothing more than for him to be a success. Just that the messiah-style rhetoric needs to be calmed occasionally to give him a chance. 🤷 I wait and hope he comes and is a success if that is what the club want.

16 Jun 2026 17:22:17
McInnis wouldn't have been my choice, but I will obviously back him. It will be interesting to see what calibre of player he signs.

16 Jun 2026 17:55:52
Shout louder Angus

16 Jun 2026 18:21:24
Fork, I know 🙈 and I actually don't have a problem with McInnes. Just the same post about the quality he has had at previous teams. And that was without including Stuart Findlay at Killie. 😂

16 Jun 2026 09:55:20
According to the Daily Record online Danny Rohl has stated he couldn't wait to leave Rangers because of a reason and whatever it was happened 😲 You need to pay and be registered with the Daily Record online so i couldn't read what he's saying about the reason he couldn't wait to leave Rangers 🤔I wonder what it was fellow bears 🤔

16 Jun 2026 11:59:56
Basically saying that the squad was rotten. It's a quote from Talk Sports Alex Crook. He praises the vegan imposter, but goes on to say the squad he left was terrible. Rubbish as usual.

16 Jun 2026 12:01:27
Nonsense article quoting that fool Alex Crook, who coincidentally is bigging up Russell Martin, it's all big bad Rangers and Russell Martin is awesome and that why Rohl wanted out too.

16 Jun 2026 12:21:36
Would be interesting to know what happened. Thought DR was here for the 'project'.

16 Jun 2026 12:22:28
If DR didn't know the squad was rotten before he took the job, he didn't do his due diligence. Another rookie mistake.

16 Jun 2026 12:35:45
Yep, he took the job knowing that the rotten squad was one of the reasons the job was vacant. Apart from Rommens, he made wrong signings in January, but was still here in the summer when he then has the chance to change the squad to what he wants but then he decides he wants out. That makes no sense.

16 Jun 2026 12:43:02
Alex Crooks talks nonsense all the time & the only real info he ever gets is from ours, like Fabrizio Ramano. He always hyped up Martin even after the shambles at Southampton.

16 Jun 2026 13:24:53
Wslgers, some on here have said Rohl has a history of jumping ship when things get tough.

16 Jun 2026 14:34:27
One person said it that he jumps ship, not some. And he didn't jump ship because times got tough. People just make things up to suit their own narrative.

People are so gullible, it's not true.

16 Jun 2026 19:04:25
Thank you Geesa, I can assure you I am not gullible by any source of the imagination. One thing I am is polite to all other posters.

16 Jun 2026 08:23:38
Bailey Rice signing new contract, but looking to be loaned out for first team experience. Kilmarnock leading on that front apparently.

16 Jun 2026 09:21:03
I think it would be a superb move for Bailey Rice to go on loan to Kilmarnock, which will help them and us in young Bailey's development in the long run. 👍 Rangers will absolutely trust sending Bailey Rice with Neil McCann. 👍🇬🇧

16 Jun 2026 11:23:25
I would rather he went to Motherwell, which could sweeten any deal for a player they may have, certainly no to a club that restricts tickets for our fans while their stadium is half empty. Then there is the atrocious plastic pitch nobody should be playing on.

16 Jun 2026 11:53:15
Their pitch is lifted and getting put back to grass, I'm sure.

16 Jun 2026 12:23:26
Correct, Bomba.
Only Falkirk will have a plastic pitch this season.

16 Jun 2026 13:26:51
Rugby Park won't be plastic for the upcoming new season, Burghger. 🤔 It's back to grass for them now. 👍

16 Jun 2026 07:14:31
I thought once Nico Raskin came on last night it allowed Tiellemans time to get up and support belguims front 3. Also had Lukaku buried the header from Raskin's cross belguim would've won the match.

16 Jun 2026 11:31:01
Agreed, I think Belgium looked much better with Niko on, and the whole game changed as a result.

16 Jun 2026 12:37:43
Raskin replaced Onana and improved the team. How much is Onana worth, £30 odd million? We need to make sure we get top dollar for Nico when he leaves.

16 Jun 2026 12:53:47
I agree,

I thought when Raskin came on for Onana, the whole dynamic of the game changed.
I wasn't impressed with Onana at all—I thought his build-up play was very slow.

I will say, I'm a fan of the game and have played it myself. I even did some of my coaching badges a long time ago, but I'm no tactical mastermind.

Although, I would love to get involved in some form of coaching, now I'm no longer able to play. I'd love to help other young girls achieve their dreams. I just say what I see.

I'm sure there are people here with much more technical experience who might see it differently, but that was just my perspective.
