Just heard a guy on Clyde saying strong rumours rangers bid hearts for big Laff and is been accepted can't see anything anyone got info on this?



22 Jun 2018 19:03:13
Can't see it but wouldn't be against it.



22 Jun 2018 19:24:03
Guy has been on Clyde on many occasions saying he is in the know and gets its badly wrong! Highly doubt lafferty will be back at Ibrox!



22 Jun 2018 19:38:19
Not when we are signing Sadiq to similar



22 Jun 2018 19:49:29
Wonder if we can get Lafferty to teach Sadiq to feign being butted?



22 Jun 2018 19:49:39
Imagine a 442 with sadiq and laff up top
I can't see anything so maybe he's spouting off for effect!



22 Jun 2018 21:52:30
Lavvy pan 2



22 Jun 2018 22:52:37
Would take big man in a heart beat



23 Jun 2018 00:43:44
I have to laugh at these people who are in the Know, it’s good to speculate but those who say they know someone at Murray park or clean Stevie G’s car etc should stop making themselves look foolish.

My younger cousin was a cook at Murray park (until he stupidly got photographed at grave, yes he is a dhim) and I can guarantee you that management or directors never spoke about signing targets with any staff so all those in the know, just admit these aren’t rumuors, Just your wee wee mind looking to sound interesting



23 Jun 2018 08:08:06
We need two ST as we only have morelos so signing lafferty and sadiq is very much a possibility considering one is a loan and the other 500k approx.



22 Jun 2018 10:13:57
STV reporting that Rangers are closing in on a 1 year loan deal for Umar Sadiq of Roma. Looks like this one could have been resurrected.



22 Jun 2018 11:36:18
Truly excellent signing if we seal it. The best yet, by a distance.



22 Jun 2018 11:44:51
I hope we have an option to buy or like Ejaria it makes no sense. Incidentally by the way :) Katic is going to be our best so far. Whoever is right great we are all enthused by our signings.



22 Jun 2018 11:54:18
We need a target man so I can understand why we are going for him, but tbh I don’t see him being much better than Herrera going by his YouTube highlights of last season at NAC, looks all arms and legs and a poor finisher



22 Jun 2018 11:56:43
Looks a v good player. Kind of player we need. a big target up front and someone who likes to make runs in behind defences.



22 Jun 2018 12:00:36
cannot wait to hear all the football experts tell us he's not Rangers class.



22 Jun 2018 12:05:51
@TGR you've clearly not watched much of him. Only reason he doesn't play for Roma more is SES and Dzeko are ahead of him. He's on the fringes of the Nigerian national team. Poor finisher? 5 in 13 in Holland for the 5th bottom team not good enough for you?



22 Jun 2018 12:07:34
Couldnt of been that bad at nec as they wanted him back this season



22 Jun 2018 12:14:52
Bluepete, loandeals will have to be done with the limited budgets in Scotland compared to elsewhere, especially on a major rebuild. We have bought in most areas, but to get all round quality then we have to loan as well. We have to look at the immediate season ahead, and then for the coming seasons we can add one or 2 top quality signings each window.



22 Jun 2018 12:23:09
Bluepete, why does it not make sense if a loan deal does not have an option to buy? A player might not be ready to break into a team at a level greater than ours, that player could obv do a job at our level hence the loan deal, goes back to parent a much better player. Alan mcgregor to the pars on loan for example. This system works both ways. We can't have the best teams best young players with an option to buy, otherwise we won't get them. We get a taste of their quality at our level and if they go back a better player then we have built a positive relationship with that club for future loan or permanent deals. What you also have to remember is that we could sign a St for 2mil for example, which is a massive fee for us and the loan player is probably a better player. I'm really struggling to see your thought process mate.



22 Jun 2018 12:27:00
Jay I'm all for loan signings IF they are much better than we have or we have an option to buy, option to buy gives us time to fully evaluate before splashing out. I'd argue however than Earia or Sadiq are not better than we have be very happy to be proven wrong.



22 Jun 2018 12:29:57
@rfcrb1872 Nope 5 in 13 in the Dutch league isn’t good enough for or me, the guy has 7 senior goals, far better options out there for us



22 Jun 2018 12:47:41
It wasn't clear that celtic had the option to but the lad from PSG. We will have some control of the player does well and they don't want him next summer we will have first dibs like celtic did with the French lad.



22 Jun 2018 14:01:38
@TGR Players with better records than that in similar quality leagues cost £5M+. Or more likely £10M.



22 Jun 2018 14:17:36
@TGR, out of curiosity who are these better options that are out there that we should be going for? ST that are quick, strong and can play and finish are usually quite expensive. I can't believe that you think umar sadiq is not any better than herrera. Each to their own opinion but with the greatest respect the lad is on the books of Roma so he must be a bit better than herrera. Unbelievable statement to make.



22 Jun 2018 15:24:32
Bluepete got to agree with coldo, players are usually on loan for development, if they have an option to buy there's usually a reason, their not wanted by their parent club and they want them off their books. Good prospects are usually wanted back.
TGR, I'm pretty sure I read that this boy was only used as a bit player so the goal ratio was actually a lot better than it looks at first glance.
Good strikers cost a lot of money and are in big demand.



22 Jun 2018 16:02:41
Damn, Dave King got it wrong again. why did he not appoint TGR as our manager - he clearly knows more about a player than SG!



22 Jun 2018 16:32:50
Stephen el Sharaawy and dzeko are not the only reason he doesn't play, there is about another 6 strikers in front of him.



22 Jun 2018 16:42:16
hes not scored many goals.



22 Jun 2018 16:48:15
would rather Oli Mcburnie and Jason Cummings. Umar Sadiq will have to play a min amount of games or we will be hit with £££ penalties by Roma i reckon.

The average age of the team must be well down now.



22 Jun 2018 17:36:28
JayP if loaners have an option to buy from a smaller team then they probably do have a reason but from a team like PSG who have money and are looking for finished articles like neymar as the top one surely willing to let top young talent leave and if they fulfill their potential just buy them back at whatever price. He’s definitely able to become a player



22 Jun 2018 18:16:16
i would like to see umar sadiq at ibrox next season as he is the big target man we have been looking for as far as for a deal to get fernando torres or Peter Crouch the money 2 bring anyone of them 2 ibrox would be over the head of DK



22 Jun 2018 18:32:03
I can't believe there are still "supporters" out there who think McBurnie and Cummings could play in our first team. They're both miles away from the standard we're aiming at. I think it must be the 'Moult, Walker, McLean, Crawford' gang at it again. Such a dreadful lack of ambition for our club.



22 Jun 2018 19:13:59
@coldo Bjorn Jonhsen who used to be at hearts got 19 goals in that league last season, I would of bought him



22 Jun 2018 22:16:58
McBurnie and Cummings are both internationals. Umar Sadiq can't get in a first team. SPL maybe to rough for him



22 Jun 2018 22:57:06
An absolute nonsense

22 year old Columbian who has already been here a year to be replaced by a 21 year old Nigerian with a below average striker rate on Holland. Not for me .

Morelos missed chances, of that we will all agree. But les not forget 1) he was our top scorer and 2) the young lad played 18mth straight. Would’ve been absolutely knackered from Feb to end of season and still run his socks off and made the runs/ spaces to get those chances



22 Jun 2018 23:03:13
McBurnie and Cummings are not Good enough if we want to win trophy’s again, Morelos will prove to be a very good player shortly and should be no1 choice hopefully with a guy with top level experience next to him whoever that may be



23 Jun 2018 01:13:18
Punter, guys who play in Western Samoa are internationals. The pair you're talking about have been capped by one of the poorest international teams in Europe. That doesn't make them even close to being good enough for us. What an absolutely ridiculous statement.



23 Jun 2018 11:37:40
@DK17 why write that? Absolute no contribution at all, just because I have an opinion on a player and it problably doesn’t match yours you have to take the piss?



22 Jun 2018 09:17:45
Rangers in for Kyle Lafferty. Source Sky Italia. Might be gash but posting it anyway.



22 Jun 2018 09:59:06
I can’t see it on sky Italian.



22 Jun 2018 11:31:33
God I hope not!



22 Jun 2018 11:37:01
It's a twitter bot claiming it's sourced from Sky Italia. Claims we're in for him for £450K.



23 Jun 2018 01:39:07
Why not sky uk



21 Jun 2018 23:26:14
Graham Dorrans has left The training camp in Spain. He will have a scheduled scan on a knee injury.



22 Jun 2018 07:06:00
Ffs. Hope it’s not a case of his legs have gone. Looked done end of last season but the heads were down



22 Jun 2018 07:44:00
And so it begins. !



22 Jun 2018 08:14:56
i really don't think this is a great loss for the life off me i can't see a football player in dorrans don't want to see any ranger injured but don't see a future in the famous jersey for him



22 Jun 2018 08:28:56
Don't talk nonsense. He was a top performer in the prem for years. Great pro is Dorrans. Typical morbed Rangers fan you are. Slating our players. I'm seriously miffed with the likes of you and others constantly slagging our players off.



22 Jun 2018 08:37:26
If he can get fit then he’s a real asset, it’s the risk of signing players over 30, you simply do get injured more and generally take longer to recover. We’re pretty comfortable at centre mid, I’d say recover fully and come back completely injury free rather than rush back and be 70% fit!



22 Jun 2018 08:41:32
This could've been worded so much better. It's a scheduled scan which is part of his rehabilitation because of his knee injury.



22 Jun 2018 09:11:24
Wasn't impressed with dorrans at all when he came back from injury, he started last season quite well to be fair. Hopefully he kicks off this season with better players around him. I think we will sign another mid so I'm not so sure that he will be a definate starter next season.



22 Jun 2018 09:22:13
Totally agree patmo85 windass has bad game slated wallace has bad game slated tav has bad game slated etc etc

They play for rangers were rangers supporters

every player can't be on there game every game they all miss sitters an opponent is quicker than them so runs by them etc

It time to stop slating players and start supporting them if you can't support them in bad times as well as good times then you may as well hit the road an support thistle dundee ross co livi etc etc



22 Jun 2018 09:53:02
Most posts i have read regarding Windass is we don't get anywhere near 90 minutes out of him, and yes I'm one who said this .
Under SG he won't get away with that, so will be interesting to see how he produces this season .



22 Jun 2018 10:23:29
Makes you wonder if the fans who slate windass sit on there hands when they score a goal for us or do the shout get in there josh etc
Wether he plays 25 40 65 minz his goals an assists all count same as fods who might only be called in to action 4 times and saves a goal being scored

Sorry cannot have it both ways slate and don't suport the player or get behind him an support him



22 Jun 2018 10:46:36
Patmo85 you are one of the worst people, “slating our players” shut up man it’s a roumor site for opinions etc everything can’t just be positive, why do you have to jump on people who don’t think a players good enough



22 Jun 2018 11:21:22
patmo is part of the staunch loyal who backs players/ individuals whatever the weather regardless of what is actually in front of their nose. Probably wants Murty back as manager with Pedro as assistant.



22 Jun 2018 11:49:52
Dorrans is mince. Huge let down for me. Expected much much more from him!



22 Jun 2018 15:37:49
Barring Alves, Dorrans is probably of the best pedigree we have in our squad . Played well enough until he got injured and this guy is claiming he can't see a player in him? Give me a break. Let's see how he gets on in an organised side this year. Is all.



22 Jun 2018 17:36:14
Can understand the opinions in here about Dorrans not doing enough but tbh he’s an attacking midfielder playing as a holding midfielder, same as Halliday. played as a left winger and striker his whole career until he came to Rangers and next thing we have a winger playing centre midfield. Halliday even performed better as a left back towards the end of the season for us. with 4 centre midfielders already at the club in Docherty, Jack, Rossiter and McCrorie maybe give the other 2 players a chance in their real positions to show what they can do. Windass or Dorrans for CAM, Murphy and Halliday for LAM, get Candeias some cover and keep Wallace as back up for John at left back unless he plays Flanagan first as a left back uses John as cover for him and then we just need cover for Tav plus another striker to push Morelos, not sure if that’s Cumming tbh but this Sadiq does have a certain some thing about him! I also rekn another central defender needs to come in as I firmly believe SG will keep Alves as experienced back up. Exciting time to be one of the people that’s for sure🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙



23 Jun 2018 11:33:14
Windass could be a super sub if he’s only got half an hr in him . last 30 let him loose .
