Rangers Rumours Archive August 13 2015

13 Aug 2015 22:35:22
BBC confirm that a fee of 275k + 2 players have been agreed by Hibs and Celtic for Scott Allan. Would absolutely love Allan to say no thanks. come on Scott

14 Aug 2015 01:11:30
For me it is a big loss to miss out on Scott Allan! If Rangers hadn't went in for a bid at all then Celtic wouldn't have entertained him and he may have been a Rangers player come next season!

Think Scott Allan's ambitions was to play for one of the big two get a bit of experience in Europe and then get a move down south

We were never going to get him this year!

Before you all start blaming Dave King, think again! The ugly man Stubbs would never have sold to Rangers as closest rivals and he had every right not to

Ach well gutted is no the word! We will just have to move on

Cmon Mark Warburton

be a yes I'm going then??

14 Aug 2015 06:04:07
Listen the lad sez he's a blue nose. Apparently his whole family are rangers mad. If he wants to sign for them then good luck to him because as much as I can't stand them there midfield is solid and I can't see where he will get into that starting 11. He'll be a squad player at best n before you know it he'lol be shipped out to lower leagues on loan n let go by them once his contract expires.

14 Aug 2015 06:17:31
Celtic bidding less than rangers and also getting 2 players off the payroll.

14 Aug 2015 09:01:50
Listen guys if he goes he goes, this season is all about getting out of this league and then building from there, I still don't think it will take much to catch Celtic once in the premier league so onwards and upwards

14 Aug 2015 11:12:12
There are many players of similar or greater ability than Allan out there, as I'm sure our new manager knows. He wasn't one of Warburton's top targets for a reason. If he goes to the manky mob he'll have to alter his whole way of life like everyone before him who made that decision. But let's face it, he's not the be all and end all. In Warbs we trust. Forward with Rangers and fuck Hibs, Celtic, Stubbs, Liewell and all others with hate in their hearts for us.

14 Aug 2015 11:29:00
Don't moan at the lad for looking after his future. But you can thank supper Ally for not going and getting him int he first place.

14 Aug 2015 11:34:32
Looks like we dodged a bullet with Scott Allan, obviously no more a blue nose than Rod Stewart.

14 Aug 2015 13:05:06
Can't blame the lad. Good luck to him.

14 Aug 2015 13:31:40
A few thoughts on this saga

Is he even worth the hype? He failedat west brom, failed on loan and has only had one season at Scottish championship level. Our pathetic mid field did nullify him pretty well last season.

Is Celtic a good move for him? I would say no as I don't see him being anything but a squad player.

Is it a good move for Celtic? Well it is as it has kicked us in the balls. A small fee, little risk, the shedding of a couple of squad players ands development of their youngsters. If he works out I'm sure he will have a sell on th eng premier clause in contract so potentially profitable.

Should hibs be happy? On surface they have got one over on us or at least that's what Stubbs would like hubs fans to think. Dig a bit and you will see that Stubbs is not acting in hibs best interest and his hatred of us has clouded his judgment. He said only two days ago price was near 1mill. Celtic have paid less than our bids which where apparently not enough. Hibs have been weakened and any smart members of their dressing room will see Stubbs putting himself above everything.

Does this effect out promotion chances? Certainly not negatively, the whole saga has had an effect on hibs, they now have to adjust to losing their star man. henderson may improve them but hopefully we will be streets ahead before he has any impact. Mcgeouch is a championship level player.

Should we have done more? Yes. This has been embarrassing from start to finish. The fans have put their money up and King promised investment that had not came. Gullible fans will make excuses and state belief that he will invest on promotion- that is not what he said. Had we offered around 500k I'm certain hibs would have accepted. If not then we should have went elsewhere ages ago, the fans deserve more. Our side may be good enough but then again we were a penalty away from disaster against st mirren - we shouldn't be gambling as failure this season is the end

14 Aug 2015 15:49:08
Luigi please stop using every negative headline to rip on the board / king. It's really boring now. We missed out on a good player but honestly we offered the correct amount of money for him (as evidenced by Hibernian accepting a lesser bid).

Paying way over the odds would have been absolutely stupid. For once give the club their due for not being pressured in to something.

14 Aug 2015 16:57:53
You can disagree if you want, I will post what I want.

Are you too small to accept other people's opinions?

I think you are exactly the kind of gullible fan who will prevent ourclub from ever getting back to where we should be

If more fans had the intelligence to ask questions of the club the mess of the last few years would never have happened.

People like you shouted down concerns over Murray, whyte , green and every other.

If you don't like my posts, don't read them. Simple.

14 Aug 2015 19:04:22
Guy's let forget about SCOTT ALLAN.
Stuffed "Main Rivals" 1st game of the season, then beat another contender next match.
No matter what comes in front of us this season we're in a better state of mind, fitter, adventurous and playing with flair & no lack of enthusiasm while creating more chances every game.
We and only we can jeopardise this promotion push this season.
I believe we'll get promotion quicker this time than the Jambo's did last year.
Lets see how many PREMIER teams look forward to coming our way in the cups this season and bring on a semifinal at least.

15 Aug 2015 02:09:18
I hate to say it but Luigi is baaaang on this time! I also hate when our fans talk about over spending for Scott Allan is not appropriate eg £500k. It doesn't matter contract wise if he has less than a year left or whatever. If other teams are interested and they are willing to bump up their offers then we should be willing to pay bigger money for him if we think he's worth it and a good investment. Remaining contract duration is means nothing in that scenario. If he's worth it and the club wants him then yeh, we should have bumped up a more serious and less embarrassing offer at first to stop Stubbs looking like he was in control and in my opinion made us look weak, although I believe we are not. I think king should have showed the cash sooner and larger rather than 50k increases. Our team now is capable without Allan. Better players will come and we will laugh at all of this.

13 Aug 2015 19:57:47
Allan on his way to lennoxtown for talks apparently!trusted source but I really hope he is wrong!

13 Aug 2015 21:24:29
Stubbs I'm sure will have told him that septic is a far better deal than Rangers . If he wants to sigh for them let him run on .

13 Aug 2015 21:25:27
If he wants 2 go 2 his boy hood club that WANT him nd goes 2 them there no coming back

13 Aug 2015 21:42:13
Really hope he goes for talks then knocks them back but a think he may sign and if he does then oh well we move on!

13 Aug 2015 21:46:17
hibs were never going to sell to us. its one them things. he won't be the first rangers fan to play for them and I am sure he won't be the last. I hope he doesn't go go but I highly doubt it

13 Aug 2015 17:24:39
Allen turns down Celtic! He will wait till next year and join rangers :)

13 Aug 2015 19:01:06
Where you getting that from j20?? All over the news saying he is open to the move and to open discussions. Let's face it, we all know he is on his way to parkhead. money talks

13 Aug 2015 16:10:09
Scott Allan at Celtic Park now.

I am disappointed Rangers never came back in with another bid.

Obviously didn't want him badly enough. Either that or we really don't have any money to spend.

Very disappointing.

13 Aug 2015 17:09:21
Don't think it matters how much money we have Allan Stubbs has already said we won't sell to Rangers.

13 Aug 2015 17:31:51
not true both clubs still negotiating on cash plus player going to hibernian with allan telling hibernian board he would join septic

13 Aug 2015 17:48:56
No he isn't

13 Aug 2015 20:13:37
allen a good player in this league in I wouldn't mind him in our team but if leaves for any club septic or whoever no probs I think warbs would get abetter stronger mid player in with same ability when we in premier in allen not been tested enough there

14 Aug 2015 11:25:06
wouldn't have mattered what kind of money we offered he wouldn't have been sold to use this season.

and anyone saying its king's fault needs to get a grip, moaning that he hasn't splashed this 20-30 million that has been mentioned. the reason we are where we are is because of people spending stupid money on average players (not saying scott allan is average) and giving them stupid wages. for once someone is trying to run our club the way it should be run and people are still moaning about it.

the fact is hibs would not sell to us and to be honest doesn't a 6-2 thumping tell us that we can win this league with ease without scott allan?

13 Aug 2015 13:29:07
septi to bid for scott allan with mcgeough part of the deal septic will then loan allan straight back to hibernian for the season say keith jackson

13 Aug 2015 13:45:56
That'd be a massive slap in the face for Rangers if they did it that way. Let's hope he says No but who can say? Celtic might make him an offer he can't refuse.

13 Aug 2015 13:48:55
hear from very reliable source S.A will be away before end of the moth but not to rangers so above rumour could be true

13 Aug 2015 13:56:28
I'm sure that's what I said last night and was shot down in flames.
Scott Allan spoke to Hibs board this morning and is prepared to join Celtic.
That's why they are talking now about the fee.

13 Aug 2015 14:04:49
Good luck to the lad if he goes to sceptic. There are and there will be many more players available to Rangers . I have an energetic enthusiasm again not felt like this for years regarding RFC this will not get me upset. Our fans are hungry, in fact starving for success and our team at the moment are part of it. I have no doubt we will be Priemer league bound by Febuary and this will only enhance the enthusiastic atmosphere in our club. So if SA comes, then welcome to the revolution son , if he does not then , your chice , your loss but in any case good luck to the young man.

13 Aug 2015 14:26:07
Money will win out. Just look at Scott Brown. I went to the same high school as Scott (Beath High School) same year. He was a massive Gers fan! Got a sniff of big money at Celtic though. The rest is history!

13 Aug 2015 14:38:53
If Allan will sign for the soap Dodgers then they are welcome to him. What sort of character causes a huge fuss to earn a move to his boyhood hero's then signs for their rivals? Not the kind that is welcome at ibrox.

If he even entertains discussions then it says a lot about him. In such circumstances we should be glad to have missed out on an over rated trouble maker.

13 Aug 2015 15:32:35
Mo Johnstone did Luigi and you all seemed happy about that at the time😜

13 Aug 2015 16:17:26
What will be will be. Kenny Dalglish was a massive Rangers fan and still joined Celtic.
Can't help thinking Stubbs is planning for the future as Ronnie the fist pumper's jacket is on a shoogly peg and Stubbs is shoe in for next manager at parkhead

13 Aug 2015 16:34:57
Hibee fans are insisting that Alan was told today if he doesn't agree to Celtic move the alternative is hubs reserves for season. They will no longer allow situation to drag on and effect team.Could be bs.

13 Aug 2015 17:34:57
it was allan who told the hibs board this morning he would go to sceptic

13 Aug 2015 07:32:35
I've heard from a source close to Scott Allan that he is signing for Celtic.

Dont know the fee or anything, but a source has said that Scott notified him of talks and an agreement is in place.

Celtic doing to us what we did to them for years.

13 Aug 2015 08:24:02
He would not be in the first team so y would you leave a team were you get first team football to go and be in the reserves

13 Aug 2015 10:58:42
Reporting on Sky Sports News just now that Celtic are interested. Fingers crossed Allan tells them where to go if he's a true bear

13 Aug 2015 11:17:42
I've heard this today also, that Celtic will be making a bid imminently! This comes from a pal of mine who is a journo with the Herald.

13 Aug 2015 11:21:29
For a lot more money he would simple as that!if he wants to come he will knock them back but I reckon it's not looking likely!

13 Aug 2015 13:37:56
You all forget this is football and they have short careers. Of course most of them will go to whoever is paying the most. don't forget Scott Brown was a big blue nose and he ended up there. I would be over the moon if he held out for a move to us but i'm not holding my breath lol

13 Aug 2015 13:54:51
Scott brown a bluenose your taking the pee mate he never was and never will be and i'm good friends with him

13 Aug 2015 14:23:21
Scott brown absolutely was a bluenose. I was in his year at Beath High school. He was a massive Rangers fan! Trust me. He voiced it often enough!
