Rangers Debates 2

04 Feb 2026 22:45:25
Who would have thought Antman in a more natural central position would be that good. Great to see

04 Feb 2026 23:15:56
I read the other day that they were trying him more central and that they were impressed by him.
I think he needs a bit more time, and he will come good.
A good assist and goal tonight. Getting rid of that Russell Martin gloom. In dr we trust.

04 Feb 2026 23:28:25
Agree, Pieter, but he was always a 10 prior to moving to Holland.

Top assist ranking, playing out of position, shows his quality.

05 Feb 2026 02:01:04
Antman is right footed, no?

Would be worth trying him on the left, I think.

05 Feb 2026 02:13:17
Stevie, he was left, Moore moved central, mate.

05 Feb 2026 09:39:42
Looked to me more that Antman and Moore were interchanging between the left and the middle, which was opening spaces against a tiring Killie defence.

Really positive debuts for Rommens and the big lad from Germany as well, who, with a bit more composure, would have opened his scoring account as well.

04 Feb 2026 21:57:51
Thought we were really good the second half even if it was against 10 men, the subs brought a bit of urgency and energy.

Glad to see Olsen get on the score sheet.

Rommens looks really good in that short spell.

The big striker has more pace than I thought he did and put himself about.

But I think the night belongs to Moore, absolutely ran his socks off and was trying to create all night and thought he thoroughly deserved his goal.

04 Feb 2026 21:47:15
Rommens looks a cracking buy looked veery good on the ball full of confidence, energetic good start to his Rangers career long may it continue

04 Feb 2026 21:43:57
Wee mikey Moore the only positive in the first half. Second half the wee man was still looking to get the business done. What a player. Nice to see aso get off n running with the goal. Will only get better with more games. Big Naderi looks sharp n always trying to get in about it, again high hopes for the lad. Nice to see Antman get his goal, want to see more as there's a player in there definitely just needs to get over his niggles n am sure we'll see the best.

Miovski, give him service n he'll score. People need to get off his back. But Rommens!! So composed and assured. Coming up that left hand side n getting involved with the assisting the goals. Ano its early bells but he's gawny be some player n finally papac has been replaced 😂

04 Feb 2026 23:18:42
Franco, apart from the goal, Miovski was poor.
1. Missed timed run. Arrived too early, so stands in the box.
2. Shoot when he shouldn't.
3. Not shooting when he should.
4. Going to be on the front post, so not in a shooting position.

04 Feb 2026 17:30:37
Celtic game off, chance to really turn the screw here. Especially with the games coming up, win tonight and start a bit of momentum again. Their games will pile up for them, Hearts will feel the heaviness of playing the last few games with 10 men..


Let's hunt.

04 Feb 2026 17:51:51
Correct, Pieter, rather have the points in the bag than games in hand. Hope we can perform tonight and get the 3 points to get us closer to the top. We have a good record against Killie at home and on grass, so I am confident; well, as confident as I ever get before a game.

04 Feb 2026 18:23:04
Let's hope so, Angus. I think the new boy will play at some point and hopefully hits the ground running. Know what you mean about the confidence, i always feel a wee bit nervous these days, mate, especially when there's something on the line.

04 Feb 2026 18:40:33
Been a while since we had that, Pieter, something on the line. Hopefully a sign of things to come every year; we seem to be on the right tracks, at least.

Waiting to see the line up, as I hope they have got international clearance sorted. Never sure if you can apply before they sign or not.

04 Feb 2026 19:04:05
Just noticed all 4 new signings on the bench, so a chance to see them tonight, hopefully.

04 Feb 2026 19:28:25
Aye, I seen that, mate. Be good to see the full back. By all accounts, he's showed up well in training. Thinking the depth is there for the first time in a wee while. I'll say 2-0 the night, what you thinking, mate?

04 Feb 2026 20:39:57
2-0 seems a good shout, even with 11 vs 10, as we get ahead and seem to settle for that; no urgency. I think we might see them all early in the second half unless the ones on there improve.

04 Feb 2026 21:49:40
Just realised I forgot to put my prediction, and I was about to say 5-1 as well. 😂🙈 Rommens looked a very good player and might be our LFB till someone buys him for a good bit of cash. Happy bear, and hope you enjoyed the second half. 3 points closer and a warm feeling inside. 👍

05 Feb 2026 17:57:59
Haha, 5-1 was your prediction? Superb, mate. The full back didn't disappoint, did he? He looked great when he came on.

Good 3 points, as you said, mate, and then on to the weekend. Get more games into the legs of those just in, a good healthy win, then on to Motherwell. Gonni be a barnstorming end to the season, big man.

04 Feb 2026 16:53:18
Did the club recieve a fee for Rothwell who at 31 and with a good reputation in England mist surely have been worth something.

04 Feb 2026 17:52:39
OWS, yes we did. It was marked as undisclosed, as they normally are. Figures quoted on here were between 400k and 2M; probably suspect closer to the former.

04 Feb 2026 19:20:21
Had read 250k also, mate.

04 Feb 2026 20:40:45
Lets split the difference, Stevie, and say 325k. 😉

04 Feb 2026 21:02:54
It would've been worth a free transfer just to 1. Get him off the wage bill and 2. Get him out the building, as he was almost moping around imo.

04 Feb 2026 21:51:34
Stevie, some transfers just don't work, even if the player is decent. I felt sorry for him to an extent. He came to us when he probably had alternatives because Martin and the club had persuaded him of what was happening.

Then we try to play him out of position for the whole time he is here. Hope he gets back to his best with Sheff Utd.

04 Feb 2026 22:30:08
Angus, definitely mate. He's a good player. That's not up for debate.

Just one of those things in life. I'm sure he won't lose sleep over us lol.

04 Feb 2026 13:54:31
Apart from maybe the bottom 2 clubs, there are no easy away games in our league.More points as we saw last night will be dropped. The transfer window we just witnessed will win us title #56. Just be patient and let those new signings blend in to their new surroundings. The best is yet to come.

Congrats to DR and the dof etal for doing a great job --especially the last minute signing of Ryan Naderi that opens up a completely different attacking perspective.we now have 2 main strikers and a striker that tends to lie deeper and the space that Chermiti will now have will make him a better player.3 points tonight and the jams will feel our breath for the first time

04 Feb 2026 13:53:37
Sad to read that Ben Williamson who joined East Kilbride after being injured in a car crash in 2024 has only managed two games and is having to step away again as he still hasn't recovered.


I fully understand his frustration and he now realises it is not just the physical recovery that is important.
I really hope he can get himself well enough to continue playing.

04 Feb 2026 14:54:05
Well said, JFM.

04 Feb 2026 16:11:54
Well said, Jim. Boy has massive challenges ahead. My grandson had to leave the epl at 22. His club was awesome, as was the manager.

He has built a very good coffee business with four shops now.

Supported brilliantly by a fellow footballer, players do not look at the pub game anymore.

Sadly, I'm not sure Williamson will have the same opportunities. I wish him all the best, whatever he chooses.

04 Feb 2026 16:31:21
Great to hear your grandson is doing so well, John. So many young players fall by the wayside. It is a tough industry for many.

04 Feb 2026 17:35:10
JFM, I won't name his manager. However, the guy is absolutely awesome, stays in touch, and they go for dinner regularly.

04 Feb 2026 18:51:07
How is your other grandson getting on, John?

03 Feb 2026 22:54:05
DR said today he could go with two upfront with the new arrival, I must say I like the sound of the new lad with Chermiti up top and olson and Moore on the wide positions, could cause serious damage and solve the lack of goals issue, question would be if we could keep up the good record of clean sheets without the extra man in the middle.

Be interesting to see if it would work out

04 Feb 2026 07:08:25
I don't think this will look like what many suspect.

Danny Rohl's played with 2 up top often, usually with Danilo starting as LF or RF.

04 Feb 2026 14:02:05
2 up is a good idea. If it's 4-3-3, hopefully Naderi and Chermissy score.
