Rangers banter 9

15 Jan 2026 20:24:44
I know I posted about ASO last night, meant to be a done deal on loan. When we going to announce it. Has anyone heard anything. I have my German source asking the same question.

15 Jan 2026 20:29:56
German source? Wow a man of international sources.

15 Jan 2026 20:40:28
😂😂😂😂😂.

15 Jan 2026 20:44:19
As we all wait for the official announcement and unveiling of our new loan signing andreas skov olsen, it certainly got me thinking of how good a signing and statement, this could possibly be for Rangers 👌It immediately got me thinking of our wonderful danish footballer of yesteryear, the one and only brian 'god' laudrup 👌🇬🇧What a footballer he was and skov olsen plays in a similar position and if he performs even half as good as laudrup did for us, then he'll be an outstanding signing for us because he also has tremendous ability to rip it up in Scotland 👌To even think and it's quite incredible that Brian's older brother michael was an even better footballer than him, is quite mind-blowing to tell the truth 😲 We're about to welcome another great dane, to the famous Glasgow Rangers family 👍🇬🇧.

15 Jan 2026 20:49:24
Posted 2 days ago that it will be announced before the weekend so tomorrow.

15 Jan 2026 20:49:31
I read today that A. S. O grandad played along side Laudrups dad at club level in Denmark.

15 Jan 2026 20:51:30
Sorry but other than they're all Danish, trying to mention the Laudrup brothers and Olsen in the same sentence is laughable!

15 Jan 2026 20:58:52
don't think anyone is suggesting he's better than them, but it's an exciting signing nonetheless.

You've also hit the nail on the head, that's why everyone is using them in the same sentence, because they are danish and one played for Rangers and ones about to.

15 Jan 2026 21:14:45
Brian far better than Michael imo always though Michael was over rated.

15 Jan 2026 21:16:40
In my lifetime toss up between Laudrup and gazza who was the best with moisture 3rd for his goal scoring. But I'm gona say Laudrup for the reason being I think he changed us. Instead of playing a pass to a player, play a pass to where the player gona be when he runs through.

15 Jan 2026 21:40:53
Michael was class.

15 Jan 2026 21:41:20
Michael way better than his younger brother brian for me TrueBlue and i rated and loved brian at Rangers 🤔Michael played for real madrid, barcelona and juventus and look at his caps and goals for denmark says it all really 👌.

15 Jan 2026 21:50:13
Fifaguy as you say you were telling us yesterday from your source it was a done deal. today you are now asking when it will be done. surely your German guy isn't that close to the deal otherwise he would know. sorry not saying it isn't true but how close was your source to the deal?

15 Jan 2026 21:55:22
Michael was better tHan Brian.

15 Jan 2026 22:46:04
Difficult to say, different positions, in his prime it was Michael, I think when Brian was at Rangers I would have said he was better at what he did than Michael was at what he did.

15 Jan 2026 23:29:05
If Brian played in a real or Barcelona team he would have played better and looked as gd as his brother. And for Denmark Brian done far more for his country than Michael, won the euros for them I'm sure (Brian)

15 Jan 2026 23:33:34
Deal will be announced in due course medical completed and passed.

16 Jan 2026 00:11:22
Did Michael laudrup not win the balon dor?

He played for the 2 biggest clubs in the world in Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Sorry but it's not even close.

16 Jan 2026 00:44:53
Slightly different players, Michael could play deeper. I'd say Michael was the better but they were both class.

16 Jan 2026 08:29:50
changed days when our fans are arguing over a quality signing which nobody seems denying that he's quality lol

you would think we could just be happy and say whos next.

16 Jan 2026 09:49:07
Brian better than Michael stop just stop.

16 Jan 2026 10:25:49
OrangeT it's called having family that stay in Germany.

16 Jan 2026 10:35:08
Fifaguy by stating you have a source opens you up to questions about it.
Stating you have a source suggests you have information directly from inside the deal.

There is a huge difference between having family connections that are interested in the deal and having a source that is inside of the negotiations.

16 Jan 2026 11:35:09
Lads the guy meant he knows someone in Germany. I know what he meant as soon as I read it. He's not said a source close to anything he said German source I knew right away he's got familt over there.

Get off he's back man.

16 Jan 2026 11:37:40
FIFA Guy ignore all negativity. There is many who will cry you a river if you question or query any of them. It's just the way it is. I'm sure you know if you put yourself out there as having sources or "ITK" you'll get questioned. All is fair in the Rangers Rumours love and war battle 🤣.

16 Jan 2026 12:49:23
Cry you a river or post a million posts in the same thread. Same thing really.

16 Jan 2026 13:33:00
Micheal was a striker and one of the best at the time, Brian is the best player that's put on our jersey in my opinion but a different player, could play anywhere in forward positions and given free roll most of time, only played as an out an out striker a few times mainly in Europe or away to them on occasion when we had injuries, we had Hately, McCoist and Durie as main strikers mainly at time.

16 Jan 2026 14:42:49
Michael laudrup was outstanding to suggest otherwise is ludicrous, also wasn't a striker.

15 Jan 2026 19:09:14
Leeds to let Piroe leave on loan. Would he be someone we could afford or have we met our quota for loans?

15 Jan 2026 20:51:18
Olsen will make us 6.

15 Jan 2026 21:56:06
Expect Aaron's to leave and free up a space.

Although I feel that space will be used for another right back unless we're buying one for cash.

15 Jan 2026 22:53:39
Stevie don't know if Moore is included in the 6 loans mate, Copland5 said he wasn't, does anyone know this? he is a u21 academy player.

15 Jan 2026 23:03:28
ASO will be announced before KO tomorrow.

16 Jan 2026 00:12:55
Interesting situation then Beale mate. Perhaos that is the case.

16 Jan 2026 08:35:14
Star he is U21 and from what I can see u21 players and homegrown players (3 years in training with club) aren't included in the loan numbers using FIFA rules.
however we were all upset about number of defenders loaned and now we are trying to get more players in on loan. you couldn't make this up 😂😂😂.

16 Jan 2026 08:36:05
nice one didn't know about the exemption for under 21s. love it we should be using this a lot more for potential loan to buy players.

16 Jan 2026 10:45:30
Angus I have no complaints with any loans mate, as long as good enough.

15 Jan 2026 18:57:45
Which tv channel is showing the afcon final on sunday between morocco V senegal 🤔.

15 Jan 2026 19:59:55
It's on Chanel 4 bro.

15 Jan 2026 20:26:41
E4 or All4.

15 Jan 2026 20:53:08
Typical Scotland have to take on a really strong Morocco side when everyone saying it's hard not to qualify for next round of world cup.

16 Jan 2026 08:37:08
i wouldn't be surprised if morroco beat brasil to 1st.

16 Jan 2026 13:37:33
Fancied Morroco to win African nations and they could easily top Scotlands World Cup group, Brazil have the names in every position but not anywhere near the classic teams of the past, Scotland will need continue with their recent luck to get in top two or even be a third placed qualifier.

15 Jan 2026 18:30:49
Has anyone heard rumours of Rangers interest in 21-year-old Djurgarden forward August Priske who's scored 1 goals in 27 appearances this season so far. Birmingham are also keen on signing him for around €2 million?

15 Jan 2026 19:30:44
I think you meant to write 18* not 1* before anyone jumps on it thinking we're doing another Chermiti.

15 Jan 2026 19:42:54
1 in 27?!
I'd like a striker with better stats than that.

15 Jan 2026 20:52:28
He scored 23 in 44 games last season for them going by reports Birmingham will buy him and the fee is meant to be ludicrous.

15 Jan 2026 21:51:15
Mark w have 2 strikers with better stats than that 😉.

16 Jan 2026 08:49:08
storm is right from what i gather its meant to be a record transfer fee for birmingham so that could be between 15-20 million depending on terms of stansfield transfer.

15 Jan 2026 17:58:16
I love the fact us spending money is having on the other mobs fans. 1 wrote on X that's its no coincidence the USA are stealing the oil from Venezuela and Rangers are spending money. Aw I love it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

15 Jan 2026 19:38:19
Give it time and we will be accused of facilitating the invasion of Greenland, that's not a nickname for Ireland.

15 Jan 2026 20:24:16
Shota 🤣 Ireland is the green grass. Greenland is the green snow.

15 Jan 2026 17:53:52
John, August Priske?

15 Jan 2026 15:33:15
Rohl says Barrons injury may force a rethink and wants to strengthen midfield more. Wonder who else we could be going for. Dahl or Silas back in perhaps?
Really enjoy his pressers though left nothing much for Skovs unveiling. I can't say anything but let's talk about it the whole time. 🤣
Liked listening to Liam Kelly too. Souch to be positive about.

15 Jan 2026 16:13:54
Neil move could still happen…lots of interest.

I would like Silas Andersen…seems highly regarded, love the physical profile again and seems a character.

15 Jan 2026 16:31:53
Dahl is more of an 8 so more likely a 6 so hopefully that would mean Anderson is still a target he's exactly what the midfield is missing.

15 Jan 2026 17:08:08
Coully Everton and West Ham are now interested in Neil as well, plenty clubs interested, but would love him signing for us though.

15 Jan 2026 17:53:48
He seems very similar to Barron in style but with maybe a better passing ability etc…I haven't seen anything of him really just going off what I've read.

15 Jan 2026 20:04:21
Seems like we are not in for Andersen anymore if the piece I red is to be believed, maybe something to do with him saying he's having to change re Barron injury.

16 Jan 2026 07:08:31
Hearing Barron may only be out for 6-8 weeks and not the 12 originally stated.

16 Jan 2026 10:00:06
I keep wondering if there is a name that has not hit the public domain. Up until Aphelion mentioned Skov Olsen on Saturday he wasn't in anyones thoughts. We are looking for a "6". EHL's words echo in my mind " The best is yet to come". Happy Days fellow Bears. The Honda Civic across the road seems to be stuck in first gear.

15 Jan 2026 14:16:24
Panathinaikos are said to be interested in signing James Tavernier.

Rangers have the best defense in the SPFL. Tavernier is our top scorer with most assists. If he goes this window it would need to be for several millions as that is what it would take to get a replacement.

However, if his contract expires this summer then he could sign a pre-contract and we'll lose him for free in a few months which wouldn't be ideal either.

Maybe they liked big Dessers so much they've come back for more Rangers players.

15 Jan 2026 14:36:51
Rohl, I'd be letting Tavernier go then and a better rb signed this window, think he'll be wanting that title first though.

15 Jan 2026 14:36:59
So he's out off contract he's 33 and we want millions for him 🤔.

15 Jan 2026 14:37:26
This is Tavs last season with us. so a pre contract with the greeks would be ideal. Tav is the past, we need to look to the future and hopefully he leaves with another league medal to his name. he deserves it.

15 Jan 2026 14:42:22
most fans would let him go for free now lol

Not saying i'm one of them but his time has been up for a long time and our improvement in defence is nothing to do with Tav, not in the slightest

other players in the team can take corners and penalties (and every throw-in on the right and side)

15 Jan 2026 14:58:01
In the summer maybe, but need to keep him for the rest of the season.

15 Jan 2026 14:59:47
I'd like Tav or Aarons to leave this window.

15 Jan 2026 15:17:53
Ally that's an instruction not tavs fault.

Personally i'd be keeping tav on reduced terms with the understanding he would not be first choice excellent cover for rb and rcb and he's still got a lot to offer he's lost a few yards of pace imo but seems to have picked up his defence game better.

15 Jan 2026 15:24:21
No sentimentality in football.
It can hold a team back.
Thanks for the service Tav.

15 Jan 2026 15:30:08
This has to be a parody millions for Tav? He can go for free right now and we can get a right back in.

15 Jan 2026 15:44:59
You've valued Tav at millions because it'll cost millions to replace him. Oh right. hope he gets a payday. He owes us nothing.

15 Jan 2026 15:51:18
Bit sentimental, but If we can win the league this season, I'd like to see Tav lifting the trophy before he goes. Even if he just stays and plays a bit part until then.

15 Jan 2026 16:29:15
Hes been a great servant for the club and deserves to spend a year or 2 in the sun playing out his career, hopefully we can win the league and give him a proper send off.

15 Jan 2026 16:36:07
so the right back who is 1/4 of our back 4 isn't responsible for our improved defensive form. if that is the case then I would suggest we don't actually need to play a RB 😉.

if he does go then we will have to pay millions for a replacement. even an OOC RB will have a signing on fee.

15 Jan 2026 17:07:55
Rangers have best defence in SPFL.

That is bonkers.

15 Jan 2026 17:20:06
Angus he hasn't played every game mate.

15 Jan 2026 17:22:16
I think going to Greece in the summer would be best for him and us, win the league, get his testimonial and leave with dignity, stay another year, get slower and tarnish his legacy.
He needs to move on and most importantly so do we.

15 Jan 2026 17:49:59
Tav focused on the job. Open to staying but not on reduced terms. Nothing will be decided until end of season. From both parties.

15 Jan 2026 18:33:59
James Tavernier imo will sign a new 1 year deal to stay with Rangers and i'm happy with that 👍He won't be a guaranteed first team starter anymore at 34 years old but again imo still good to have an experience player like him around the first team squad, not to mention his continual availability and never injured 👌I think we'll definitely sign a new young right back in the summer, to be our no.1 right back going forward in the future and i see we're linked with a young german right back baum 🤔.

15 Jan 2026 18:59:50
Storm he has played in every game though: 16 starts and 6 sub appearances. in fact he has played in every game we have played according to Transfermrkt. a total of 2702 minutes out of a total 3330 available equivalent to 30 of those whole games.
so surely that makes him at least deserve some credit for the defensive record we have.

15 Jan 2026 12:54:43
On a honest note troops isn't it refreshing to see an actual title race. I know we have been poor last few seasons. I did think Hearts would do well this season but their surprising me. refreshing to see for scottish football finally. Obviously I hope we win but right now I don't think you could say the winners.

15 Jan 2026 13:22:05
as long as that mob don't win it then it's a result 🤣

Us winning it would probably show how poor Scottish football is considering where we were at the start of the season.

15 Jan 2026 15:31:07
It's great to Scottish football if all 3 stay in title race the split could be the best ever since it came in.

15 Jan 2026 15:37:09
When was the last time we had a three way title race in Scotland? Seem to remember in the mid 80s, Hearts, Celtic and Dundee United all in the mix in the second half of the season.

15 Jan 2026 15:45:20
Only 16 league games to go. If Hearts beat that mob at Tynecastle next weekend, they'll be 9 points behind with only 15 games to go. With Hearts superior goal difference that's as good as 10 points in front of them. There may be plenty of twists and turns but a gap like that would seriously dent that mob's chances.

Likewise Rangers can ill afford to ship points before we play Hearts. We've a couple of tricky away ties at Easter Road and Fir Park to negotiate before meeting Hearts.

15 Jan 2026 17:47:06
1 game at a time we've Hearts and Celtic to come to Ibrox likely we will need to beat both.

15 Jan 2026 20:50:13
Storm let me be clear imo mate. I'm not interested in the title race being great for scottish football, as i want Rangers to run away with it and put it beyond doubt before going into the split 🤔I'm only interested in Rangers winning the title by the biggest margin possible with as many games to spare possible 🙏.
