Rangers banter 9

26 May 2026 20:51:04
Just wasted 38 minutes of my life watching Tavs 144 goals on YouTube. The penalties were ok but all of the rest of the goals were mince. Thank Christ I never had to endure the assists. Worst 250k we ever spent. Good riddance

26 May 2026 21:24:43
😂😂 I'm not biting.

26 May 2026 21:45:29
Alloa, if it wasn't so obvious they would be sad. 😂😂

26 May 2026 21:49:52
Alloa, I appreciate you taking it in the light hearted spirit it was intended. I was a fan of Tav. Plenty were not. New start for me on here and a new start for the club moving forward.

26 May 2026 21:50:35
Is there a YouTube video showing the goals he cost us, as I guess it will be about 3 hrs long? Asking for a friend.

26 May 2026 22:00:17
Agreed.

26 May 2026 22:09:35
The amount of s*** some fans register. His goals got us to the Europa Cup Final!

26 May 2026 22:11:33
Storm. 🤣

26 May 2026 20:48:04
Shankland can score.
But who gives him the service?
Moore olson gone/Gassama an Antman been piss poor.
Who would use sign
Per just want anyone who can take a man on like Moore

26 May 2026 21:26:02
Curtis and a new right winger.

26 May 2026 21:27:56
We've given Shankland the number 7 Rangers jersey, maybe we'll play him on the right wing. 🤪

26 May 2026 21:40:09
Gers are looking at Azeez from Millwall. His numbers are really good. Would cost around 5 mil. Perfect winger who scores and has a high assist rate.

26 May 2026 21:45:58
Did someone not indicate the Danny seen Curtis as an 8?

26 May 2026 20:39:14
EHL one for you😅

I know you don't and won't name names so not expecting you to say anything
This is just for some fun for me trying to see if I can get any correct when there announced 😂

Ok here goes - going in a fishing expedition

We sign Meghoma permanently back up to Rommens

Or other options

LB - James Penrice - follows our current trajectory on the route we want to go down.

LB - RICO Henry - contract expires this summer - thoughts?

Perhaps we have reignited our interest in LB Josh Doig? Knows our league and a good wee player who would hit the ground running?

LB - Jordan Amavi Free agent - 32 years old now - could be used as back up to Rommens?

Dennis Cirkin LB at Sunderland - think his contract runs out this summer also?

RW - Malcolm Ebiowei - not sure why he left Blackpool but seemed to have been touted to have a good career ahead
Perhaps any personal issues have been sorted? And he's ready to play again?

Rw - Amario Cozier-Duberry - not sure how much he would cost? See we're linked with him?

CB - Luke Graham - as we're already interested

CB - Gilberto Batista been linked recently?

CB - Charlie Cresswell - knows to the 49ers through previous at Leeds?

CB - Akpe Victory been linked recently?

CB - Takehiro Tomiyasu - contract runs out summer - but had a bad knee injury I believe before signing a short term contract with Ajax

CDM - will be Dan Neil I reckon
CDM - Elliot watt as already interested

GK -Angus Gunn - Contract expires this summer

Gk - stefan Ortega - contracted until summer?

26 May 2026 20:58:45
Stingo, Cresswell is well out of our reach now, heard months ago Sunderland were interested in him.
Gunn? Scary, mate, stop that.

26 May 2026 21:13:28
I know Gunn is scary. My star. 😅

But, free transfer, you never know, back up. 😂🙈

26 May 2026 21:50:38
Lol, wouldn't even know where to start with that, Stig.

Personally I'd love to see something like this, with youth players padding out the squad.

Gk. New Signing & Kelly

Lb. Rommens & Penrice
Lcb. New Signing & Graham
Rcb. Souttar & Milne
Rb. New Signing & McCrorie

Cdm. New Signing & Barron
Cm. Feeguson & Chukwuani
Cam.

Thelo & Shankland

Lw. New Signing & Gassama
St. Chermiti & Naderi
Rw. New Signing & Curtis

There's little or no chance it would happen, though, but it would be the makings of a really solid squad that can create a level of continuity to allow the player trading model to get up and running whilst creating a pathway for youth.

26 May 2026 22:04:29
Azeez from Millwall as new winger, as mentioned earlier, the talk is a bid is on the cards.

26 May 2026 22:11:57
I'd definitely take that EHL.
Have a horrible feeling a team will come in for Chermiti that will test our resolve.

EHL, am I right in thinking Chermiti scored around 14/16 goals second half of the season?
Maybe once he settled in, that was us seeing what we paid for.


What could he do with wingers and a midfield supplying good service?

Notice Fernandez not in your squad - do you think he will be away?

26 May 2026 22:12:33
Interesting, Ehl, looking at your list,
Fernandeze, Rasking, Diomande, Butland, Antman, Miovski. Add in players we had out on loan, all away, that should raise some cash to bring in replacements.

26 May 2026 22:20:25
Only me - hadn't seen that one.

Seems a player who's getting stronger. Quick search for saying he's good at carrying the ball fast over short distances and can make chances from nothing. Going to see if can find some videos of him. 👍

Do you know what his price tag is at all?

26 May 2026 22:36:21
Jasp/Ehl keeps dropping little hints while disguising it as opinion for plausible deniability. 😂
It's trying to work out what ones are the hints.
I think we missed one earlier in year to Shankland. 🙈😂

Sorry Ehl, if I'm way off here. 😂

26 May 2026 22:38:51
Trying to activate the Inspector Gadget part of my brain. 😂

26 May 2026 23:46:39
GK - New signing / Kelly

RB - Skoglund / McCrorie
RCB - New Signing / Milne
LCB - Fernandes / Graham
LB - Rommens / Frazer

DCM - Watt / Neil
CM - Ferguson (c) / Chukwuani
CAM - Ashia / Aasgaard

RW - New signing / Antman
ST - Chermiti / Shankland / Naderi
LW - Moore / Curtis.

26 May 2026 18:17:25
With Shanks now confirmed, wonder who is next & when 🤔🙏😁🙏🔴⚪️🔵

26 May 2026 20:36:10
Well, it's been highlighted, we will be surprised. So Mo Salah and Andy Robertson. 🫡

26 May 2026 18:00:51
New Rangers Number 7. Welcome to the famous Lawrence.

26 May 2026 19:20:42
Not my first choice, But the lad is here and I hope he ends up a legend for all the right reasons.
Who's next ???

26 May 2026 19:24:58
Welcome at last to the greatest football club on the planet, Lawrence Shankland, and you'll be wearing the Rangers jersey with the famous number 7 on the back 👌🇬🇧 Go smash Shanks and fulfil your boyhood dream. 👍🇬🇧 This statement can be used loosely at times, but absolutely not where you're concerned, because Lawrence Shankland, you're Rangers to the core and have never hidden it. 👍🇬🇧

26 May 2026 19:58:33
Bar72, Who was your first choice mate? 🤔

26 May 2026 20:34:13
SWS, it's a good deal moneywise, I presume, but for me this is 2 years too late. I will say he better hit the ground running & quickly, but not having the knowledge of some on here, I would have went European, possibly Croatian, they seem to do well with us. & don't mess about
Good luck to Lawrence Shankland, live the dream son.

26 May 2026 20:43:18
Overjoyed for Lawrence and his family. His parents will be in wonderland tonight, I'm chuffed for them.

It's always just fantastic seeing a real Rangers fan since birth making it to the club, I honestly couldn't be happier for them all, no matter what happens now, he made it.

26 May 2026 20:51:06
Delighted with Shanks & yes, agree 2-3 years later than we should have. However, the manner in which he got here (if clauses etc with his Hearts deal are to be believed) speaks volumes. He has shown more effort to get a jersey than many who had it handed to them.

26 May 2026 17:23:39
6pm announcement 👀

26 May 2026 18:17:19
Pictures are on the Rangers website.

26 May 2026 18:20:00
Welcome to Ibrox, Lawrence Shankland.

26 May 2026 18:23:35
Surely a big upgrade on last season's number 7.

26 May 2026 18:38:07
Good start to the window. Hopefully a signing we can't argue about!

26 May 2026 18:44:08
Oh I am sure that some fans aren't as over the moon as others, and waiting for the I told you so moment. However, he is one man, it takes a whole team to win the league, bring it on.

26 May 2026 18:49:20
Really happy with Shankland signing!

Great first addition and long may it continue.

26 May 2026 19:02:41
Any man that scores goals should be welcomed with open arms. Personally, coming from Ayr, I'm delighted.

26 May 2026 19:07:52
Lawrence of Govan, welcome. 👌

26 May 2026 19:08:52
Welcome Lawrence.

26 May 2026 20:03:50
88 goals in 171 games for Hearts. I am hoping for more than that with us.

26 May 2026 20:20:48
Wish the boy every success at the famous, just hope we get a style of play that suits him, and he scores plenty. Don't think it has worked out for Miovski because of our style.

26 May 2026 20:25:53
Sco, Shanks can hold the ball up and link up, so I don't think he will have the same problems as Miovski bud.

26 May 2026 20:28:40
Storm, I tend to agree. Dessers got a goal every 2.2 games and Shankland on a goal every 1.94 games. So, as a natural goalscorer, I would expect much better from chances we create. Not anything against Shankland, and happy he signed, but need to be consistent here.

26 May 2026 20:36:38
The experience of Shankland should help Chermiti & Naderi as well.

I think he could easily get 15-20 goals next season.

26 May 2026 20:40:41
Best bit, not one of us on here had a clue.

26 May 2026 14:54:47
Hey guys, any news about Elliot Watt signing for us? Looks like Motherwell are valuing him at 3 million, do you think we'll be able to get this over the line if it's happening?

26 May 2026 15:24:53
If club are interested & believe that is a suitable price & player wants to sign, offer Motherwell around that mark & see how it is received.

26 May 2026 15:26:07
Boyd 83 As I wrote last week, I understand that Watt is on the list, but being non Scottish is down the list.
Even behind Neil. That came from a Motherwell employee.

26 May 2026 16:09:39
John, I find the non Scottish part strange tbh.

Not sure what his value is tbh, but think £3M is maybe pushing it with only a year on his contract.

But think we should be getting this one done.

John, do you think Raskin will be sold after the WC?

26 May 2026 16:16:10
I was hearing on what we made an unofficial offer of 1.2m that was turned down by Well, and player himself sees his future more back in England, although open if right deal.

From a Watt family member that I work with.

Opinion wise, doubt we would pay 3 million for a guy with one year on deal, by all accounts he's happy to see out this year with Motherwell with them involved in European football.

26 May 2026 16:20:05
Zikos, if he isn't Scottish and will be back up to main no 6, then he takes away from one of the 17 places in European squads. So, being Scottish or at least homegrown would be the temptation. And I personally think that £3M is a lot for a Motherwell player with 1 good season under his belt.

Not snobbery, before anyone says, but looking for some sort of consistency over a period of time. If he comes, fine, but not one I am overly concerned if he doesn't.

26 May 2026 16:20:58
Cool. Zikos, if we sign him he just counts as foreign.

I think Raskin wants away.

26 May 2026 16:46:10
My pal had a chat with Mo Ross about this lad, said same as me, very nice player, very good on the ball.

I felt he has good vision and can see things developing in front of him, often bypassing the mid players in front of him, and opening up defences. I like the boy.

26 May 2026 16:56:04
Angus, I actually think he would be starter.

I think he's better than what we've already got tbh.

Unless we bring in another 6, but seems like we're collecting them atm.

26 May 2026 16:59:30
Fellow bears, we definitely won't be signing Kilmarnock OOC midfielder David Watson as he's signing for Bolton Wanderers. 🤔

26 May 2026 17:13:11
Seen that, Sws, wouldn't have minded him at Rangers, mate.

26 May 2026 17:31:01
Would love us to get Watt. Think he could play a massive role for us, as he's a player in the same would as Davis (couldn't lace Davos boots). He's a similar type player who will dictate from the base of midfield.



Interesting, Foreverrangers, bc we'll be playing more than likely longer in Europe than Well would be this season. And if he's a Rangers supporter you'd think he'd choose us over down south.

26 May 2026 18:31:59
Watt is a Scottish under 21 international. He's declared for Scotland so we can knock this not Scottish stuff on the head.

26 May 2026 18:32:46
Blue89, he's not a Rangers fan, his family have a soft spot but he's not really a Rangers fan. His team were relegated from prem. Being told he definitely sees his future as south of the border.

26 May 2026 18:40:39
Cheers Forever, I was just going by his social media post from a while back cheering on Rangers.

26 May 2026 18:47:55
Yeah, I remember you saying that, John, with the amount of stuff that comes out every day, I just don't know what's happening and how fast it all goes lol. Well, if we do get Dan Neil, that'll definitely be some signing and much needed leadership. Exciting time ahead, especially after Shankland signing.

26 May 2026 18:50:28
Rangers will be his Scottish team but told Wolves fan.

26 May 2026 18:51:20
Walter, that one sailed a while ago. He felt he would struggle to be a starter, hard to disagree with his own viewpoint.

We never made him a firm offer.


Do the bouncy, how is he Scottish, born and lived in England for 25 years, has never played in a Scottish academy, so can't be classed as Scottish as per the rules.

26 May 2026 19:35:36
Aye wouldn't be a starter, John, probably done the correct thing for his career.

26 May 2026 20:07:01
DT+B, John is right. UEFA defines homegrown players as those trained by their club or another club in the same national association for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21. Scottish is similar. Watt spent those years in academies down south, so doesn't qualify under those rules.

He qualifies to play for Scotland due to his family heritage.

Zikos, he probably will unless we buy someone else as we don't really have another real number 6, despite the 1000s of threads on Raskin. If he does, and makes us better, I won't be unhappy.

26 May 2026 20:42:40
Yes, My star, good luck to him, will watch his career with interest.

26 May 2026 20:44:49
DTB learn what it means in registration terms before coming and knocking this not Scottish as nonsense.

Lad hasn't played in Scotland for 3 years before turning 21 so isn't classed as homegrown at club or nation so he counts as taking a spot out of the euro squad.

26 May 2026 21:48:27
Bbj, that is twice now we have been on same page. Need to stop it or folk will start to talk. 😂😂

26 May 2026 22:44:24
Lol John, love how you play the official line. As I said before, unofficial offer.

You probably know fine well a back channel offer was made and turned down.

But yes, yes, technically no official offer, John. lol your cute with the facts, John.
