I work at Hummel training centre, naismith, souttar and hickey coming to rangers.

Naismith for squad depth been there and done it born winner and will lead dressing room, from Gary Mac's own mouth to me.

22 May 2020 17:38:09
Is that right? 🤔.

22 May 2020 18:14:11
Hickey yes souttar no an naismith sitting on bench waste of a wage.

22 May 2020 18:24:48
Eh, no there not!

22 May 2020 18:35:20
Load of crap!

22 May 2020 19:06:59
Hahaha no even entertaining that. don't want any of them.

22 May 2020 19:07:09
Can’t see any of it.

22 May 2020 19:08:22
I didn't think it was called the Hummel training centre anymore .

22 May 2020 19:18:13
😂😂😂😂😂.

22 May 2020 19:54:16
Personally i would rather pop over to leith for scott allan rather than souttar an naismith or even lewis ferguson cituation i would go for allan first.

22 May 2020 20:22:22
Scott Allen had his chance, and all 3 hearts players are part of a side that's bottom of the league for a reason.

22 May 2020 21:13:56
Take hickey for the future and souttar would be better with our standard of player, very good on the ball. Naismith can do one. However, there is no longer such a thing as the hummell training centre, so i can't say this is believable. Why is gary mac there when we are still in lockdown?

22 May 2020 21:17:10
Has April 1st been let out of lockdown?

22 May 2020 22:31:58
Mrs Budge, dream on.

22 May 2020 22:48:56
I drive by rangers training ground everyday going to work and magooba is telling the truth 👀👀.

23 May 2020 00:03:14
Demmc22 are you sure it wasnt Mr Magoo (maybe you have to be certain age )

23 May 2020 02:37:55
Naismith is way past his prime n a waste of a wage in my opinion
Would rather have some younger talent in.

23 May 2020 05:42:50
Did ye aye.

23 May 2020 07:29:29
Next season is a big one. Personally don’t rate him but I understand why people do, same feelings about souttar. And as for Naismith I’d probably rather get Kenny Miller back out retirement. Hopefully we get the investment we desperately need and go into 150th year champions 🔴⚪️🔵.

23 May 2020 07:52:59
Supposedly hickey is one of Lennon priority signings been linked too both sides of the old firm n few down south, all media n agent hype won't do his price any harm hearts will need upcoming funds for there legal battle, hence speculation, good asset rile up an intrest, teams will try n get there first
Try too create a bidding frenzy
They will have too sell a few n get rid of a few big earners, but bulge is shrewd n won't let hickey go for buttons.

23 May 2020 09:40:14
Every time I have seen him he’s been rotten.

23 May 2020 10:13:11
Yes it still is the hummel training centre til may the 30th, also I did not say that I seen Gary at the centre, I said I work there in a sporting capacity.

Passing on some good news, two international players and a exciting up and coming talent.

3 players for a steal, Naismith still wants to play for Scotland and won't get that in championship same with souttar.

On lallana talks are tentative as he wants to stay in the EPL but thought of stopping Celtic and becoming a legend by doing so is extremely appealing.

Clyne, contact made and looking promising so far.

23 May 2020 10:01:54
Whilst I can’t really see it being true, I would take Naismith no bother. If you want to stop them winning 10IAR it’s exactly the kind of players we need, proven winners. None of the current team other than McGregor have won anything. They lack bottle when the crunch comes. To sign high calibre players with winning experience will cost money, money we probably don’t have. If you can pick someone with Naismiths character and winning mentality up for next to nothing it’s the kind of deal that will appeal to Rangers.

The real stumbling block for me on this one Is his departure and those horrific comments he made. Hence why everyone has issues with him. If it wasn’t for that everyone would welcome him with open arms.

23 May 2020 13:10:55
Totally agree mate, he is a winner.

That's why Gary pushed for the move and the gaffer didn't take much convincing as he knows all about him.

Miller played for Celtic scored goals against us and he had a hard time to start but goals and all is forgiven.

I think he will be invaluable I terms of experience, mentality and standards.

Two young Scottish players as well who have bright futures and know what it's all about as well.

23 May 2020 14:25:59
Considering Gary Mac has not been present at the training centre and neither have any staff been working there, i highly doubt you have bumped into him in the corridor and he has divulged all the transfer business to you.

23 May 2020 14:36:39
Born winner 😆😆😆 Naismith has won absolutely nothing since he left us and the 3 years he was at ibrox he was injured for at least 2 of them. And yes I still don’t like him because of how he left us and I have no intention of getting over it anytime soon! The wee rat always turned up against us for hearts but never really took it to smeltic in the same way I don’t want him anywhere near ibrox even if he plays for free!

23 May 2020 15:29:57
Is he aye.

23 May 2020 16:11:00
Fruitbear Did Steven Davis not win the league with Rangers in 2010/ 2011. Asking for a friend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.

23 May 2020 18:32:57
😂😂😂 your carer must be proud.

23 May 2020 19:42:53
Again I didn't say I met Gary at the training centre.

24 May 2020 01:00:42
Magooba considering the majority of staff are on furlough then there’s a very good chance you’re talking crap.

24 May 2020 11:48:51
Southend Who are you referring to with your post. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.

24 May 2020 15:57:27
Rangerstalk5, your right, the rebuilding for next year totally stops when season stops, we only look for players in June.

25 May 2020 23:48:13
Hickey is poor everytime see him play, paterson better prospect!
Soutar would be no more than squad player no better than players we have, better going to get ginger ramos back from hsv!
I would take naismith back he is fighter and we need players that are not going to go into hiding to stop them.

22 May 2020 08:45:52
I see our former captain barry ferguson is saying in the sun newspaper this morning,
that rangers should move quickly to sign his nephew lewis ferguson, from aberdeen, as there's quite a bit of interest in him. I'm not saying for a minute that lewis ferguson isn't a decent midfielder, but for me i rate our current midfielder greg docherty, who's currently on loan at hibs is a better midfielder than ferguson. My thinking here is why if we're interested at all sign ferguson when we already have docherty?

22 May 2020 09:14:00
Good question Steven,

Anyone got any indication as to why guys.

22 May 2020 09:45:59
I don’t there is much between them as players. Neither are good enough to make the difference to win us the league. I would value both at no more than £2m.

22 May 2020 10:06:00
I think it's as simple as Ferguson is in the spotlight and is viewed as an up and coming star. I have no doubt he is, but as many of you say, we have one who is equally as good or even better, in wee Doc.

Have to say though, he's turned out to be world class in my FM 2020 lol. I've already wine the uefa cup in my second season (with an awful lot of save and replay lol) .

22 May 2020 09:37:31
Bazza was a class player but hardly an unbiased view from him saying sign his nephew! Haha

I do like the look of Lewis when he plays against us he does get stuck in. Don't see enough (would never watch a sheep match not including us) to say if he is consistently up to standard.

22 May 2020 10:08:05
Docherty is a better player than Ferguson. Issue is Gerrard didn't buy Docherty.

22 May 2020 10:14:50
With ojo kamara (prob leaving) etc leaving i would keep docherty sign fergie who both will learn a lot with the experience of davis and arfield jack along with 1 of englands greatest if not the world midfieders steven gerrard who in the next year or 2 wil be our cen mid as davis will retire etc.

22 May 2020 10:15:49
Docherty is a better football player, but Ferguson has a 'dig' that we are missing in midfield
50/ 50 for me, either way.

22 May 2020 10:19:54
I’m not convinced Docherty is better than Lewis Ferguson but like mols said none of them are ready to make the difference but I actually think Ferguson has more potential he’s been a regular in the sheep’s side for the last two years and he’s only 20 if we could pick up Ferguson for the same money as we would get for Docherty I’d do the deals if not we should use all our money for a top drawer midfielder that can make the difference.

22 May 2020 10:23:39
Every1 forgetting abt mccrorie.

22 May 2020 10:25:19
Then again fergie might want to follow his dad and uncle to play for rangers and barry is talking it up in press saying others are looking so gers make a move if they want him or to test if they want him.

22 May 2020 10:30:07
Maybe more to do with mentality than ability.

22 May 2020 10:31:29
I really don't get what others see in Docherty. He is decent at the very most. Ferguson is a far better player than Docherty and is doing it week in, week out at Aberdeen. An Aberdeen team that's been 3rd best team in this league for years now. Docherty couldn't break into a poor Pedro Caixinha team. All about opinion I suppose!

22 May 2020 11:04:07
For me it all depends on how much we have to pay for him. We have never been let down by a Ferguson in all the time I have followed Rangers and one has to hope that the Rangers tradition in the family would propel him to be a success. My concern is wider than whether we should sign Ferguson, whether Docherty is good enough, (and I have my doubts) ; we need someone in midfield that is a winner and a born leader. I had hopes that Davis would do that job but he is a shadow of the former player and we need better. I personally would try and prise Milner from Liverpool as well as the young Spanish guy, and see how much I could get for Docherty, (who played well in the lower leagues down South, and hopefully see Kamara for £6m+.

22 May 2020 12:15:01
Neither Docherty or Ferguson is good enough for rangers.

22 May 2020 12:46:51
I know I’ll seem like a broken record but given a full season, I’m confident Doc can become a huge player for us. Box to box, reportedly the fittest guy at the club too, capable of chipping in with goals from midfield, he needs a run for a good spell. Happy to be proven wrong but I’d far rather have him than spend big money and especially buying from another Scottish club. Just because he’s Baz’s nephew doesn’t make him any more of a bluenose either. Doc also bleeds blue, not that this is criteria for signing. Maybe helps though.

22 May 2020 13:04:15
Guys, I feel that SG doesn't rate Docherty otherwise he would have played him. I think Ferguson is a stronger player, but, I also agree that if possible Docherty should be part of our 1st Team Squad, it's up to SG at the end of the day.

22 May 2020 13:25:17
I think to win this league we need a bit more depth than what we currently have. This was shown after the winter break when Kamara suddenly went off the boil, Jack got injured and Hagi was a bit inconsistent. Also bearing in mind that Arfield got pushed wide right.

For me - Get him signed and bring back Doc and let the two youngsters really push the senior guys for starting places. Both have a bit of dig about them and could be the real deal.

Remember that Jack didn't look that great before we signed him either now he has grown into one of our best players.

Also I would sign Boyle, from hibs as a decent wide option.

22 May 2020 14:37:00
Although they are different types of player, Ferguson is much better than Docherty and has more potential in him. He also has more big match experience and will go further in the game than Docherty. I saw Greg often when he was at Hamilton and he didn't do much for me. He started well at Shrewsbury before fading, yet some believe he is good enough to stake a claim in our starting 11 that will compete in Europe? Wake up, people.

22 May 2020 16:05:57
as walter smith said its about who plays for the shirt.

22 May 2020 18:10:18
Ferguson would be a great buy if money is right. Really impressed with him when I've watched him play. Doherty should also be back. Look at him at Shrewsbury and Hibs. Only issue could be the weight of the shirt. Might be too much but never really had a run of games.
