Rangers Debates

12 Feb 2026 21:05:17
I was correct in saying that we have spent 44 million, but it's in euros. That's what I'm currently working in. It's 38.5 million pounds spent since the start of the season. This is the official Rangers account expenditure for 25/26.

Chermissy 8.6 million
Naderi 5.5 million
Chukwuani. 4.6 million
Antman. 4.4 million
Cortes. 4 million
Aasgaard. 3.95 million
Rommens. 3.6 million
Miovski. 3 million
Fernandez 2.9 million
Gassama. 2.4 million
Rothwell 460 thousand
Skov Olsen loan fee is 1 million for 5 months and we pay his full wage of 36, 000 euros per week. Andreas actually costs us 86, 000 per week with loan fee and wages added together. The whole Motherwell squad cost 8 million for their 25 men. People say give our players a chance? Maybe the players should give a bit more effort to the support who pay them.

12 Feb 2026 17:53:51
Same old Guff " if we had won half of our drawn games" yada yada yada we didn't so move on

12 Feb 2026 12:36:31
Our manager was outcoached last night --end of story. Even with 10 men they looked better than us tactically. and Gassama and Chermiti should never be in the starting eleven again. A pair of imposters

12 Feb 2026 18:42:28
I doubt either of them will be Rangers players next season, mate. For the remaining games, we need to support them, as we're challenging for the league.

12 Feb 2026 12:03:48
Well soul destroying is the word i will use today, Danny Rohl last night committed self suicide by not starting Sterling fernandes Rommens Antman Skov Olsen and Naderi against an in form Motherwell, now we have handed the advantage to Hearts and celtic, iexpect us to finish third now, and btw thisisour best team Butland Sterling Djiga manny Rommens Raskin chukwaeni Dio Antman olsen Naderi, that's the team that should be starting every week barring injuries, it defies belief, imo we have
just thrown it all away

12 Feb 2026 13:24:15
How do you know they were available to start and finish the game? Do you think he purposely chose a weakened team?

12 Feb 2026 16:33:10
What if they are recovering from an injury and can't play 2 games in 3 days? Do we play them anyway and risk them getting injured? Then you will be left with Chermiti, Tavernier, Meghoma and Gassama for the rest of the season.
So, the question is, did he play the strongest team which was able to start the game?

12 Feb 2026 18:35:06
We now go to no midweek games, so hopefully Danny can pick the best 11 on a regular basis.

12 Feb 2026 11:15:20
Question. Do we have better players/squad than Motherwell?
In my opinion, yes of course we have. So why were we out played by Motherwell who were better in every department?

Excuses for the pitch, managing players playing time etc.
when said players were on the bench just doesn't wash.

This was down to team selection and formation by Danny.

Has he improved our team? yes he has but he still has a lot to learn. Going forward our best team needs to start.
Buying first team starters and leaving them on the bench in such an important game beggars belief.

12 Feb 2026 11:34:20
Were they fit? Motherwell are a very good team, playing well and in form.

12 Feb 2026 12:31:46
100% mate, but it's panty wetting, and a draw is a good result apparently. 😂

12 Feb 2026 13:02:49
Gees, what many just don't understand, players like Olsen aren't capable of playing 3 games in 8 days right now. Same with Rommens, returning from months out, he was involved in 2 games in 4 days.

12 Feb 2026 13:59:11
Or give them more minutes than advised and lose them for the run-in.

12 Feb 2026 14:11:41
Olsen and Rommens played about half an hour last Wednesday, and then an hour against QP minnows on Sunday. If they were unable to give 30 mins last night, then they should have been nowhere near the bench.

12 Feb 2026 16:02:33
Rommens was injured for months before his game against Kilmarnock.

12 Feb 2026 16:10:04
It is panty wetting. If Rangers draw a game, it's doomsday, and a meltdown follows. If we beat Hearts on Sunday, the same people will say, "We can win this league!"

12 Feb 2026 18:29:38
How is it panty wetting? Games are running out fast, and we blow every chance given to us.
People just assume Hearts and Celtic will drop points. So will we, and we have a deficit to make up.

12 Feb 2026 19:52:03
Because the league is far from over, but the usual reaction on here is, for about the 476th time this season, the league is over.

People were laughing at the Celtic fans not that long ago.

Now, the Rangers fans obviously have to go into meltdown because we drew. Was it a great result? No, but there's another big game on Sunday to look forward to instead of spending days greeting over this. 💤

13 Feb 2026 01:24:47
So no one is allowed to ask questions about why Rohl chose to leave 3 of his Jan signings out of the starting 11?
Why tactics were suspect, and subs were not made at the correct time?
Why does he persist with Chermiti and Gassama when both are not performing?
Yes, we have to support the team going forward.

With correct selection Sunday, we have every chance of beating Hearts, but our performances at the start of the year have not been great.

12 Feb 2026 10:14:17
Was there something in Danny's water yesterday? A draw he says would have pleased him before a ball was kicked away to Motherwell in a title race/push! What kind of Rangers manager would say such a thing? Then his team selection, this was one that raised an eyebrow for me and don't get me started on substitutes! Game management abysmal! Motherwell were the better team for sure.

How many times can Tavernier give the ball away? For bye that there were some players out there who looked disinterested. Need to learn from our mistakes if we are serious about league. Some wonder why out marquee signing didn't start (Olsen) simple he's feart and cans deal with the pace of the game

12 Feb 2026 10:45:39
20, according to Mph, but more that Tav carries the can for that.

12 Feb 2026 12:59:16
Ball possession lost against Motherwell:
Butland - 17 times
Tav - 20 times
Souttar - 6 times
Djiga - 10 times
Meghoma - 14 times
Raskin - 13 times
Chukwuani - 8 times
Diomande - 14 times
Moore - 14 times
Gassama - 5 times
Chermiti - 12 times
Which tells its own story.
Goalkeeper's distribution was poor, probably down to the Motherwell press.
Both FB's were poor.
Only 3 players were in single figures.
And I wouldn't be giving Gassama a pass, as he only touched the ball 21 times and done hee haw with it the 16 times he never gave it away.


Nothing stuck up top.
And Raskin and Diomande were constantly put under pressure in the middle.
Calm heads are needed in this title race.
Not aimless balls forward that end up coming straight back and putting us under pressure.
We've moaned about our struggles against the "low block" for years.
Never seen much of that from the Motherwell side last night.

12 Feb 2026 13:39:51
Good post MPH. 👍👍

12 Feb 2026 16:47:39
But, despite Motherwell being so spectacularly good, we were 3 minutes away from beating them. One of our worst performances since Danny Rohl took over, but we won't play brilliantly every game, same as Hearts haven't and Celtic haven't. Motherwell had 2 other big chances and we had 1, so they had lots of the ball but didn't really create.

Btw, we have disagreed on this before. Tav had 26 passes and 10 of those were unsuccessful. Still too high, but Sofascore, which you use, isn't best for lost possession as it includes free kicks and corners etc. Callum Slattery had an equal 10 passes unsuccessful and Just had 12. So, one stat never tells the full tale.

Wasting my time though. 🤷

12 Feb 2026 17:12:49
Well done, Rangers, you were 3 minutes from victory. 😳👏👏😳

12 Feb 2026 19:59:16
MPH, the 3 minutes shows the difference between success and supposed failure. Oh, and we did that with a group of players that fan managers wouldn't play ever. Those who continuously lose the ball by taking corners and free kicks. However, you are right, I will stop posting and leave it to the negative 'supporters' who only really support if we are winning.

12 Feb 2026 20:40:56
Your not you bud, are you ok mate? You seem a bit off with your posting the day.

12 Feb 2026 22:22:22
Fork, just a bit pissed off with the constant overreaction to any win, draw, or loss. There are a number of posters on here who I have yet to see post a positive post about the team they supposedly support. Just getting a bit much tbh. I love the club and try to find the positive in any situation, but it gets a bit wearing on here to be constantly criticised for doing that.

Just beginning to wonder if it is worth it, the joy of the site has gone. I think I am where you seemed to be a bit back; sorry if that wasn't the case.

11 Feb 2026 23:13:10
Sickoner tonight that will give Hearts a lift for Sunday.
Makes it a must win for us but DR will no he's got to make a few changes and I think we can beat them. We will find out if there up for the run in on Sunday

11 Feb 2026 23:33:37
Close, come on, did players think they were up to it, including Dr v Motherwell?

12 Feb 2026 06:39:46
Dr must have known we needed changes last night and didn't do it. No confidence he will for Sunday, unfortunately.

12 Feb 2026 08:30:47
As an alternative, could the manager know that players coming back from injury, and a long time out, can't play 2 games in 3 days every week? So, play vs QP, rested vs Motherwell, and will play vs Hearts.

They may have had a reaction to playing against QP and were not 100%, so he decided to rest them.

We see the best players we want to play, and I don't disagree with those selections, but we don't know what is happening in training or after matches. Manager makes choices based on all this.

We tried to manage the game last night after going 1-0 down.

It wasn't pretty, but we were 3 minutes away from managing it. If we win on Sunday, we are still just 2 points behind the league leaders. When Danny Rohl came in, we were 13 points behind, so he must be doing something right.

Sorry, just don't want to go down the same route as with previous managers: wrong selections, wrong substitutes, and poor press conferences next. Then we sack the manager and start all over again. Give him time. Just a different view on it all, and sick fed up of rebuilding every season. 🤷

12 Feb 2026 09:24:38
He's done enough in the short space of time to merit more time and patience, Angus. I honestly don't think anybody is cutting their nose off to spite their face. He needs to learn quickly, though, or all that good work will be fruitless at the end of the season.

I would have had more respect for him if he came out fighting, saying he got it wrong and the players should have done better. He should, in my opinion, be saying he's furious at losing a goal so late on.

12 Feb 2026 09:43:32
Dado, I think he is balanced in all his press conferences, whether the result has been positive or negative. He doesn't blame the players, and that has been a criticism on here before.

He made decisions on the team last night based on what he knew, I reckon, and the best he could. Fans will always disagree with these, and especially if we drop points, but we dont, and I include me in this, don't know the facts.

If we had held on and defended that back post cross, then the result is good. The attacking performance wasn't good, but I thought, in the main, defensively we were pretty solid the majority of the time.

Perhaps those were the tactics he thought were best suited to win the game. We have been praising him for that adaptability. Is it the way I would want us to play? Probably not, but results are what matters at this point.

I suspect we will see the new guys on Sunday, but as this was the plan all along. Still not sure, personally, we have enough to win the league, but impressed he has got us here.

11 Feb 2026 22:54:38
Butland
Sterling Souttar Fernandez Rommen
Raskin chukka
Olson Moore Antman
Naderi
Play that team we win.

11 Feb 2026 23:37:36
We played that team tonight, we would have won.

12 Feb 2026 02:44:56
Totally agree, Walt. Manager was not brave enough tonight.

11 Feb 2026 22:33:12
As much as i like Rohl soon as he brought on manny and changed to a back 3 we lost all momentum we had after the red card and invited pressure on to ourselves when we should have been going for the killer 2nd but here we are yet again getting ourselves into a good position then mess it up, leagues still there for the taking but Hearts on sunday just got a lot bigger

12 Feb 2026 01:39:57
We don't kill teams off, that's been a long-term problem.

12 Feb 2026 02:46:06
That's what new signings were to help fix, but they were on the bench, Rohl. Doh.
