Rangers Debates 3

14 Jan 2026 14:24:13
Really excited about skov its a step up from cerny and Kent I wouldn't be surprised if wolfsburg ask for 8-9M in the summer.

14 Jan 2026 15:11:48
I don't think he's a step up from cerny.

Cerny is outstanding, what a player.

Kent couldn't lace cernys boots.

14 Jan 2026 15:30:55
Hopefully your mind will quickly be changed stevie. Of skov olsen recovers his form from Belgium n Italy then he eclipses cerny as a player. Imo of course.

14 Jan 2026 15:33:18
Stevie I agree re Cerny and he was very good for us. let us see how Skov Olsen actually played for us before we start with the hyperbole. actually we might want to wait until he signs before we do 😉. not done until the scarf is above their head. wait though I remember Jardel and it wasn't even done then.

14 Jan 2026 15:47:28
If he turns out better than Cerny I will be a very happy man Freddy, because Cerny was different class for Rangers.

14 Jan 2026 16:30:38
Yes Angus but the failure to sign Jardel did leave many of us beautiful memories of Karen to saviour. Please focus on the bright side.

14 Jan 2026 16:35:11
I'll never understand how cerny was underapreciated by most our fans

He was too top drawer. Imo he was the best player in the country while he was here.

If skov Olsen is as good as him we'll be doing well.

14 Jan 2026 17:02:02
Cerny stats were great and he had a good few games where he done nothing but if he was on it all the time we would never have even got him on loan.

14 Jan 2026 17:38:53
Stevie a draw in the Falkirk game tonight, 100/30.

14 Jan 2026 18:08:29
Cerny failed in Germany before doing well with us. Go figure.

15 Jan 2026 02:09:39
Believe we're talking about what he will do in Rangers colours Coldo, Cerny had a great goal contributions for us, hopefully he does as well.

15 Jan 2026 08:21:55
Oh like Rothwell then👀😉.

15 Jan 2026 08:48:01
Star my worry is that the level of expectation on him proves too much. he has been built up to be the next Brian Laudrup but if he starts poorly how long will it be before the crowd turn. there wasn't the same expectation I remember for Cerny, who also started slowly but eventually got there and produced.

I think there was a bit of petulance towards the crowd at one point before that happened.

15 Jan 2026 10:23:34
Fork can I ask what you're even talking about now? glad have you back posting, but like understanding what that post was all about mate, zero sense I'm picking up.

15 Jan 2026 10:39:35
Fork maybe you didn't see my post, I did say I will wait until I see players in a Rangers jersey now, but thinking Rothwell can't play only tells me enough, I never said you're meant that, and hopefully you never.

15 Jan 2026 10:47:57
Perfect sense, he was lauded as brilliant down south, which at times he was, but done nothing in a Rangers Jersey. Angus covers it well. People go overboard before we get them, need to see how they go first.

15 Jan 2026 11:02:19
I did, and it was a General comment, not aimed at anyone, could say the same about Propper, Dowell and others, strange u think its about you though, as its not, its a generalisation.

15 Jan 2026 11:14:56
Zero sense for me mate, just throwing names out there.
Fork like that doesn't happen with any top leagues, or do they players always make the grade at Rangers? No.
Why I said I will wait until I see them in a Rangers jersey, Rothwell was brilliant his last couple of seasons in the championship, and stood out for Blackburn years ago, plus the fact he's never really had a chance at Rangers.

15 Jan 2026 11:49:28
Again there are hundreds on here, it's not about you, but your making it that way, I'm quite clear in my comments it was a general take and that it's best to wait, yet your all up in arms, not once did I mention u but your butt hurt because I mentioned Rothwell who u went overboard on, seems you take things very personal as has been evident earlier in the week with various posters pointing out how argumentative you are, you were not mentioned, it was nothing u said, it was a general comment, and the "tells me enough comment " is pathetic and u use it everytime someone says something you don't like, even when its nothing to do with you, as I said I agreed with Angus.

This forum exists for everyone, not everything is about who u have championed and getting upset when someone says something you don't like against them, again not all about u, a general comment that u see as a pop. Carry on.

15 Jan 2026 12:52:07
Cerny was great for us and I believe Olsen will be similar offensively but offer more from a physicality and ball winning point, he's well spoken off from a work rate perspective also.

13 Jan 2026 22:24:31
What's the views on some stats I was told today

Celtic haven't had a man sent off at Celtic Park since 2022

Since introduction of VAR, Rangers have had 52 goals chopped off compared to Celtic's 14

This season alone Rangers have had 15 goals chopped off compared to Celtics 8.

14 Jan 2026 08:31:54
if they are right to chop them off, then no complaint.

14 Jan 2026 13:04:23
its a conspiracy so it is 🙈
if you look at 2024 figures which are latest I can find there were 26 VAR decisions that when reviewed were incorrect. Rangers had 5 wrong decisions in favour of them and 2 where they benefited by opposition getting unfavourable call.


that was out of a total of 1181 VAR decisions. it found 90.3% of onfield refereeing decisions were correct and that went up to 97.8% when VAR assists.
so figures don't support what you say but never mind. perhaps need to search further than Facebook for your info.

14 Jan 2026 14:26:57
Angus is Willie Collum 😉🫡.

14 Jan 2026 14:27:45
The problem with most football fans is that they always like to compare incidents when in all reality, all incidents are different.

14 Jan 2026 15:33:14
The answer is the 3rd march 2024 when the last Celtic player was sent off at parkhead

Read into that as you will.

14 Jan 2026 15:33:58
I am with a poster above, I am not a conspiracy theorist. All I am looking for is the right decision. If it for the opposition or us. If it's a red or a goal or no goal.
Do people cheat or are not impartial, only they can answer that.
Is there guys who are terrible officials absolutely. Is there guys in var who should never be on var In my opinion yes.
Some of the refereeing over the last few weekends in a number of games has been deplorable.
I would never question a man's integrity, what I would say var officials like Frank Connor is simply not good enough.

The SFA had a chance to create a new start with referees.
Bring someone in to run a fresh eye over our referee system. They had applicants from all over the world but chose Willie Collum.
Was he the best candidate I don't know. Not being involved in the process but what a opportunity that was blown to really revolutionise and future proof our game. But yet we are still fighting the same issues.
I think the SFA and Doncaster needs over hauled.

14 Jan 2026 15:39:46
Florida I must now be about 7 or 8 different officials, managers and players on here now.

MPH is right and they happen as there is almost always interpretation of the law involved and every referee will do that differently.

these conspiracies exist because the fans don't know the rules and go by what they think is right and that is always team biased. if you think it is a conspiracy ask yourself why both sides of the OF thinks the referees and the SFA are against them. if that were true then it is the only conspiracy in history against both sides of an argument 😉. if you ask me then I think it is someone on the grassy knoll filming the moon landing in a big shed who is responsible.

14 Jan 2026 17:22:55
Pieter. If they chose someone from outside Scotland what would that person have done to revolutionise the refereeing fraternity in Scotland. the referees were still the same and the rules wouldn't have changed.

as a comparison the stories from down south over the last few days have been about how a panel, comprised of a group of ex-players, has found that 13 VAR errors have been made in the EPL this season; a rise of 30%. add to that there were also 15 onfield errors which VAR didn't ask the referee to look at again. just mentioning this from down south before the normal rot of bringing in foreign referees is mentioned. La Liga and Spanish league use VAR most in 30% of decisions so refereeing there isn't great either by that metric.

or stop using VAR and you get 7.5% less decisions right. is it perfect then no but the main issue isn't getting decisions right IMO but the amount of time it takes to make the decision.

14 Jan 2026 17:27:06
All in good fun mate. I do love to read the facts and stats you post on here. They are always very interesting and make me think 🫡.

14 Jan 2026 19:14:05
Florida a two way process mate. you (and others) post things that tweak my interest and make me want to see what basis the post is made on so I look it up. so without the original post I wouldn't always look. I find it interesting to get differing opinions as it makes me think as well.

14 Jan 2026 19:48:36
That's what it's all about Angus 🫡.

14 Jan 2026 20:46:55
Mph, comparison is the thief of joy.

14 Jan 2026 20:54:48
Angus, I was thinking a long the lines of training, support, reflection, Accountability and actions. Looking at other countries to see what ref do and how other countries do things. It may be the same it may not. I don't know.
Rules are the same but how we interpret them seems to be an issue.
I would like to think fresh ideas, maybe better leadership.
Fully appreciate i am looking from the outside in and may be totally off point.

The optics just look the same it jobs for the boys. Ref are against us. Etc etc. It would have been a good way to break the cycle.
This would have been seen as a positive change by all I would have hope someone almost with a clean slate.
No side theoretically can claim them being a Hun or a Tim example.

Revolutionise is probably a bit dramatic but what's wrong with a bit of drama. 😁.

14 Jan 2026 20:57:10
Angus, just in addition to my other reply to clarify I am not advocating foreign refs. Not for me. Just the guy at the top. Willies job.

15 Jan 2026 08:23:05
For me the problem is that in Scotland the officials are part of such a small minded useless system that they are a product of their environment. Angus, I more or less agree but think that unconscious bias can push its way through when entered into that environment of incompetence coupled with a stressful situation/decision.

It does show mistakes but as pointed out other FAs don't compare all that different.
It's the top end of the s**t show that needs downed first.

15 Jan 2026 08:29:32
bring in foreign refs then the argument would be we don't want italian, spanish etc as these are predominantly catholic. and Celtic would be up in arms if they got a dutch ref. there is a no winning formula apart from better standards and training.

13 Jan 2026 20:06:57
Based on the performances we have seen from Meghoma so far this season, would you like to see him back on loan next season?

13 Jan 2026 20:49:17
He would certainly do a job for us but would he be happy to play second fiddle to Rommens? Would Brentford expect him tobe a regular starter?

13 Jan 2026 21:09:58
A think he's done OK. Never really had any standout performances so far. Tbh a think we need a level up in quality. Lookn likey that level up is Rommens. Another sturdy left back in the summer will do nicely.

13 Jan 2026 22:37:15
argument for staying would be that he is a year older; has 1 year more experience in this mad house and has better players around him. I think he has done well this season but like all young players needs to develop and learn. we aren't going to get him back as back up though.

14 Jan 2026 08:31:25
If Rommens is good we won't need to. As he will be overpriced anyway.

14 Jan 2026 09:40:56
i think for his age he has done well and growing into the position. if we can replace with better then fine but i think the young lad will develop into a decent player.

14 Jan 2026 11:11:34
He's done very well considering his age and he's been the only LB, anything under 5m i'd buy him.

14 Jan 2026 13:22:08
His numbers aremt good enough for me in attack and he's not big or strong enough defensively.

I think he's a good player, I think he'll become a good championship player but wouldn't pay the money they want for him and being honest I wouldn't even take another loan.

We have our new left back we need to prioritise our own players. I expect penrice to join in the summer to compete with Rommens.

14 Jan 2026 14:27:25
I would keep Meghoma if possible 🫡.

14 Jan 2026 15:35:04
Loads of potential, I would keep if we could. For an 18 year old I think he has done very well.

15 Jan 2026 12:53:48
I think he's got a lot of minutes on this loan but wouldn't feature as much next season and that isn't good for his development, he'll go back to Brentford and get a new loan.

He's going to be a very good player in the future.

13 Jan 2026 19:24:17
I am excited by the calibre of player we are chasing this window.

14 Jan 2026 11:14:18
So am I FB, hope we can get a top striker in if we can shift Danilo or Miovski.

14 Jan 2026 14:28:47
Yeah if we can shift Danilo it would be great. I think Miovski will come good. Just needs a wee run and confidence boosting goal 🫡.

13 Jan 2026 17:44:05
Looks like we will see return of cortes then as its only option to buy. Will leave us as a free agent at end of deal."Same as cifuentes. Really poor signings.

13 Jan 2026 18:24:15
Paul I just posted the same on another discussion. Yip both really poor signings.

13 Jan 2026 19:52:25
Or they could have been great, every signings a gamble, some you win some you lose.

13 Jan 2026 20:01:14
Thye are both now back on the continents where they started and had a good record. Cifuentes played 31 times for Aris who wanted to sign him but wouldn't meet our asking price. he has played all of Toronto's games since he joined to the end of the season.


so hopefully they agree to the fee we want.
Cortes just needs game time in the right environment to get his form back. hopefully that will be back in South America. seems to have gotten over injury issues.

13 Jan 2026 16:34:06
This guy is giving me Laudrup vibes!

13 Jan 2026 14:52:01
We can only benefit from someone who has experienced more title wins than our entire squad.

13 Jan 2026 15:43:32
Won two titles with Brugge, Danilo won a league with Ajax then Feyenoord the next season, but do get your meaning though Aphelion, we are definitely short of experience, like his height as well.

13 Jan 2026 16:34:43
See Aphelion you're posting things about him that aren't actually 100% true, this is because you want him signed, you said I'm being negative with posting the actual truth.

13 Jan 2026 17:21:26
I wasn't aware that Ajax won the league with Danilo my star. Not untruths just not aware of it.

To be honest he is so easily forgettable as a Rangers player so forgive me that.

You are being negative with everything you post because you don't want a transfer.

13 Jan 2026 17:33:13
My star I have been a long time reader of this forum and I seen you do the exact same with players that you want signed and you have also posted a lot of untruths. Let the man have his opinion without bombarding him with posts because you disagree.

You have bumed up a lot of worse players than Skov.

You have also called people negative who have only posted the truth.

Let it go. Not everyone, if anyone for that matter agrees with you.

13 Jan 2026 17:35:01
Aphelion and you're only being all positive mate, you're missing out all his negatives, hopefully he is a great success, but both parts need brought into a debate about him, just the same as I'd only want Mundle on loan, a player i do rate.

13 Jan 2026 17:36:34
Not saying he's better I'm just meaning a player I've watched regularly Aphelion, like you with him.

13 Jan 2026 17:45:01
🤯Big Papa 😁 what are you talking about? how do I not want him signed because I negatives in him, if signed I hope he has great success.

Don't tell me my i was spot on again Big Papa, you're hiding better, and you know what I'm meaning.

13 Jan 2026 17:49:26
What negatives my star. He struggled as a 21 year old in Italy. He then moved to having an exceptionally good spell in Belgium and had not been able to force his way into the team at Wolfsburg.

13 Jan 2026 18:20:41
let us just wait and see firstly if we do manage to get deal over line and then how he performs and we will have our answer 😉.

if he isn't managed to play well in first 15 minutes of his first game though he will be considered a failure 😂😂.

13 Jan 2026 18:22:56
Aphelion I'm talking about monies and such.

13 Jan 2026 18:28:15
Aphelion I hope he's a great signing mate, bored of this chit for chat on him, let's hope he starts off on fire, do like we're moving for this caliber of players, I'm just over thinking our past money worries.

13 Jan 2026 19:16:04
I understand that my star. We are now owned by one of the richest sporting organizations in the world and have heavy links to another.

13 Jan 2026 19:45:07
My star you had no concerns about our past money worries when we wasted money on Cifu or Cortes etc. You were a big admirer of both. Why did you not raise concerns about money then?

13 Jan 2026 20:25:31
Cc, Are they earning well over 2m a year? Cortes was 4m we'll get a good chunk of that back, Cifuentes was 1.2m probably made more in his loan fees, you think clubs won't be paying a loan fee for Cortes either? and Cifuentes has got an option for 2m and playing every game, not going to be as much money lost on these players like you are thinking.

13 Jan 2026 20:42:06
Aphelion that's what I need to remember we can't afford it because they know what they're doing mate.

13 Jan 2026 21:58:15
80k loan fee for Cortes and there I was worried that we had lost £4.5m.

13 Jan 2026 22:51:58
2m and 50% sell on, you seem to miss certain things out Coldo, I can only wonder why.

14 Jan 2026 01:00:53
star imo if he wants too much money he won't be coming and this wouldn't a non starter, wouldn't get too hung up on his wages. He may well become one of the top earners but every team has them I suppose, if he does come it'll be a deal Rangers can afford that suits both.

Denmark should qualify for the world cup and he could be worried that if he's not playing he's not going, he may see us as a brugge where he can be a starter, score goals and hopefully win trophies. This is all if he actually signs of course, i'm excited by it and hope it happens.

14 Jan 2026 08:54:31
Tav, so am I believe it or not, I'm liking we can afford this level of player now mate, was just a tad worried about our previous time.

13 Jan 2026 14:48:03
Big shout out to all the posters in the know keeping us lesser mortals in the know lol. Seriously though, thanks a million, I know you suns take some stick sometimes but keep posting.

For the first time in a while I have real optimism opposed to hope going into the business end of a season. If we get a few, or all (being greedy) of these players who are linked with us signed, then we will be in a very good place, a very good place indeed. That coupled with our manager and his staff, not forgetting our owners, then I can truly see the league title coming home this year.

Maybe automatically going into the CL has something to do with the backing we seem to be getting, who knows, but thanks AC, keep er lit.

13 Jan 2026 20:02:43
who are you calling a lesser mortal. cheek 😂😂.

13 Jan 2026 12:20:28
There's a notable free agent who I believe would do a job for us even if for 6 months at CB, Sergio Ramos. Wages would be the major hurdle, as reportedly he was on 85K a week in Mexico but if Board would back it he's a major international star, he'd sell merch hand over fist.

More importantly he'd be a huge influence in the dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti in his books says Ramos was a General at Madrid and accepted nothing less than winning. that's what we need to instill in these players.

13 Jan 2026 13:33:59
We can only dream.

13 Jan 2026 13:36:23
Wages and weather mate 🤣.

13 Jan 2026 13:42:43
😂😂😂😂.

13 Jan 2026 16:10:01
How long till his 1st, 2nd, 3rd Red card?
Scottish Refs, would have field day.

13 Jan 2026 16:53:52
not sure if he is fast enough these days to actually catch anyone 😉.
