Rangers Debates 3

I must say, I'm quite surprised that we haven't taken in a few more in on loan. EPL teams are bursting with talent that would easily be available in the positions we need. Chelsea for example have decent CB by the dozen, Harvey Elliot is also available on loan and a decent AM.

31 Aug 2026 19:46:51
Cause us a headache of pain this season trying to replace them, not sure if it's just our luck, but loan players always seem to down tools in March / April, probably protecting themselves for the next season.

I'm glad we're not doing that again.

31 Aug 2026 21:03:52
Think that will happen after the English window shuts tomorrow, couple of straight loans without options.

31 Aug 2026 17:21:30
In Bennie for the two Old Firm games. arrive at hotel at 1pm on the 13th. Same time as KO. Hope no delays.

On the 20th CF Benidorm are playing at the same time. Was so hoping to see them.

31 Aug 2026 17:50:03
Enjoy.

31 Aug 2026 19:11:14
Have a gd one, bud. Hope you're well. 👍

31 Aug 2026 19:59:57
Oi oi, Horsey, hope you're good, pal.

01 Sep 2026 11:49:38
Who's Bennie and does he not mind?

01 Sep 2026 12:11:36
Thanks troops. Wee pop into the Humber pilot and BT12. Ibrox bar just not for me.

31 Aug 2026 17:18:04
Gassama not good enough. Even though has started welll. Cash in. Reinvest.

31 Aug 2026 23:02:00
Deffo. Thought I was only person who thinks this.

01 Sep 2026 12:12:20
Gassama is good enough, but let's sell a winger when we're desperate for another with a couple of days left in the window, that would make a great deal of seasons, Rab.

01 Sep 2026 15:36:35
Not seasons, sense.

31 Aug 2026 15:27:17
I'd be gutted if Raskin stays. We keep our best midfielder out of the team that gets knocked out of Europe, then keep him for a season, leaving only one year left on his contract where we'll sell him for buttons. Raskin not being sold would be a disaster.

31 Aug 2026 16:55:22
If he signed a new deal then happy to keep him.

31 Aug 2026 17:51:28
Yes, if he stays, he must sign a new deal!

31 Aug 2026 13:54:09
I think we will be left with quite a few players that are surplus to requirements.one reason is there is kudos and decent money with Rangers. It's downhill for most and they just don't want to go.

31 Aug 2026 15:33:30
Agreed, Colonel, a big list of outgoings, some for decent money, been touted for weeks, doesn't seem (so far) like anyone going anywhere!
Maybe a couple loans out? But can't see any ££££ coming in?

30 Aug 2026 21:42:38
Not sure is true, but there no bid for niko. I hope not tbh. Get Dan Neil out the team. Kelsey could stubble over permit summit to do with family ties. ( no idea what that means ) hope he comes. Manny will be a late bid from Byern L. Which will make us panic buy.

But where do we as a support say enough is enough. Yeah good play today. But we ain't good enough.

Is DM the right man? Shankland a leader?

Thoughts?

30 Aug 2026 22:16:34
Don't believe any panic, DK, be a list of replacement lined up if Fernandez moves on. Niel can play, he's not showed us anywhere his best, hasn't even played 400 minutes for us. Really looking forward to when we see what can do, be some back tracking.

31 Aug 2026 07:23:20
Would love the Manny rumours to be true. Never mind panic buy, it's panic in defence with him at the back just now. Hope Neil eventually shows something, like u say, Star, but so far he's probably been the worst in our midfield and nothing to suggest being a captain type.

31 Aug 2026 08:39:10
Thought Neil was pretty decent yesterday.

31 Aug 2026 10:24:20
Neil will be fine, manager clearly stated no bid yet for Raskin, but talks will be ongoing, I would think, or we wouldn't be leaving him out of the squad.

31 Aug 2026 10:42:50
Kris Boyd hit the nail on the head yesterday - Raskin walks into our midfield.
And should be playing if no bid has been submitted.

31 Aug 2026 13:37:47
Again, there is no bid - however, there is an agreement in place and it's just a matter of if things fall into place.

31 Aug 2026 14:19:52
So he only wants one specific club EHL, and if that doesn't happen he's happy to stay?

31 Aug 2026 16:42:39
Thanks EHL. Sounds like there's a dependency - buying club needs to sell a player, or we need to secure his replacement - LF perhaps? 🤔

30 Aug 2026 21:30:24
A wee cheerful note before bed, if we beat Falkirk and they beat the sheep on Wednesday and we beat Motherwell on Saturday we will only be 2 points behind them before they go to St Mirren 😀

31 Aug 2026 08:22:53
How about the Sheep beat them too? OK, that's being too ridiculous. 😜

31 Aug 2026 12:13:24
Told Falkirk were unlucky not taking anything from that game on Saturday, Kaiser, seemingly the better team the second half, mate.
