Rangers Debates

Dado_Prso your right i don't recall anyone from Rangers saying they will bring in two marquee signings it was just my opinion but what we don't need is smart arse comments that's the problem on here people want to nitpick at posters rather than actually talk about the problems at the club

Bluebear, are you referring to Dado asking if AC said we were getting 2 marquee signings? If so, what is smart arsed about that, mate?

I think McInnes is the right man for the job but he has a big job on his hands. Its clear as day that this squad is full of players that are just not good enough.

Diomande, Chukwuani, Neil, Aasgaard are terrible and need moved on. Its pretty telling when Devlin, a free from Hearts is currently our best centre mid. I do like the look of Drago. I suspect Neil may be loaned back to the Championship in January.

I don't get the hype with Fernandez or Chermiti and to be honest take whatever cash we can get. That's two goals in two games that Fernandez has cost us and Chermiti is like bambi on ice. Again our best striker is a free from Hearts and was sitting on the bench.

Our recruitment has been really poor for a very long time and the state of our squad is very telling indeed. Naderi always looks knackered, Gassama is another poor player who we will struggle to move on.

The Manager has a big job to sort this squad out.

On a positive, both Curtis and Yokota impressed and I think we are in safe hands with our new GK.

Lets try and stay positive troops, a few more quality additions should set us straight.

I wouldn't be letting John Souttar go anywhere just now until we get better, I would have played him last night, better than Sterling there.

You're one day closer to the day Rangers eventually win the league again.

07 Aug 2026 13:05:19
You're a year closer to your pension. That's about all I can manage after last night.

07 Aug 2026 14:09:16
I suppose that's something lmao, thanks guys.

We're not playing today, so your day can't be ruined. 😂 Happy birthday, hope you have a great day.

07 Aug 2026 14:45:58
That made me laugh out loud, BB4. 👍

Happy birthday, Rfc.

Hold ma beer, 🎶one more day, further from the cradle and closer to the grave. 🎶😇

Aye, if you get drunk and hungover, you have a full day to recover before getting another one watching us play on Sunday.

Happy birthday, bud, have a good one.

One thing that really stood out to me last night was our lack of movement when trying to play out from the back.

Time and time again our defenders had the ball under pressure and I was looking for someone in midfield to come short, show for it and give them an out ball. Far too often nobody did.

Then when a midfielder did get on the ball, where were the runs ahead of him? Where was someone dropping into a pocket, making a run beyond or moving into space to give us a forward pass along the ground?

There seemed to be very little movement off the ball.

That leaves the defenders with very few options. They either take a risk playing into someone who's already marked, go sideways or backwards, or eventually lump it up the park and hope someone wins the second ball.

It's easy to criticise defenders for going long, but if the midfield isn't showing for the ball and the players further forward aren't making themselves available, what exactly are they supposed to do with it?

For me, that's something we badly need to improve. Players have to want the ball, create angles for each other and make runs that allow us to actually play through the lines.

At times last night we looked far too static, and that's a big reason why our football became so predictable

Thoughts?

Was thinking that myself, Stig, while watching, why isn't someone from mf dropping in to receive, even for a quick one two to open up the park? But, time and again it didn't happen. We've made a huge mistake in thinking Aasgaard will be our flair player. Well, he can be, but it needs to be every game, not 1 in 5.
We have far too many inconsistent players, Chermiti, Aasgaard, Manny, Rommens and Barron.

Obviously, can't put any new guys in there, as it's too early to tell. The point I'm making is that these guys needed quality to be brought into the first 11 to bring the best out of them. I'm quite sure that hasn't happened. Again, like so many seasons before, too many guys in that team hold down a spot regardless of how well they play. That's a breeding ground for disaster, imo.

BB4, we can only judge once the window closes, pal. I'll check back in on September 3rd at 5pm haha.

07 Aug 2026 18:29:58
Bbj i think I made that comment to you, did i not? 😂 you big swine, I do believe there's still time matey, but it isn't looking great is it?

07 Aug 2026 09:28:41
For me that result was on mcinnes last night, Sterling at CB instead of big african fella, Sterling should be RB not mccrorie, Raskin should have started, Chermiti can't play lone striker role, should have been Curtis or Gassama on left with yokata on right

Disappointed with the outcome last night but probably most would have taken that result beforehand.
Think we need to give the manager some leeway its a whole new squad he's got, the new players are looking quite good, suppose it's a case of fitting them together and that takes time, but at this moment Aasgaard is a luxury we can't afford at this stage.
