31 Jan 2021 18:16:33
Hearing we might see the return of John Fleck next season. He has a relegation release clause and told a mutual friend Rangers had made an enquiry to his agent sounding him out about potential return in summer.
No offers have been made to Sheff United or anything just sounds like we wanted to know if he would be interested in a return if the chance came up.
Personally I think he would be a good addition to our squad he's a steady 7/ 10 every week in BPL.



31 Jan 2021 18:55:39
He'd be a great signing, I'd imagine he'd have plenty of interest in him down in England in the summer though.



31 Jan 2021 18:57:33
Not for me
Can’t see this happening at all.



31 Jan 2021 19:15:54
Sheffield quoted arsenal 20 million in the summer for fleck.



31 Jan 2021 19:49:54
Did we not thru money at him and buy his parents a house when he was last here and then he opted to leave?



31 Jan 2021 19:59:39
Bankie he left because we wouldn’t give him 1st team football.



31 Jan 2021 20:03:20
Mmmmmm John fleck. seen him good few times and can't say I've been impressed. hard worker but think we've moved up a level than fleck personaly.



31 Jan 2021 20:20:39
DD he has been outstanding for sheff Utd the last few years.



31 Jan 2021 20:37:59
If there is a relegation release clause - which I doubt - it will be a set fee, maybe around £7m-£8m as he still has more than two years on his contract. He's been decent in the EPL and starred in the Championship, but he will be 30 this year and, all things considered, doesn't fit the Gerrard/ Wilson profile.



31 Jan 2021 20:45:06
Kja9,well everytime I've seen him this season which maybe around 7 times he's failed to impress me. he's a hard worker don't get me wrong and relise he's coming up against world class players but just don't think he brings anything new to what we already have at the team. if he's our new box to box midfielder then personaly don't think he's improving our first 11.



31 Jan 2021 21:04:49
Wee flecky gers diehard love to see wee man back at the champions.



31 Jan 2021 21:26:53
DD his team have been piss poor this season and I have seen him a lot more than that over the last 2/ 3 years I probably wouldn’t go for him because of age but nothing wrong with ability.



31 Jan 2021 21:27:42
KJA9, I though he was one of the free agent crowd.



31 Jan 2021 21:33:53
I. n. t. r, yea maybe,i'man older bear and the yes would be sentiment mate, but i don't think sentiment etc would interest gerrard so much, the ceo will get us better, cheaper when needed, let's go,



31 Jan 2021 22:00:06
Yeah agree with no sell on clause and turning 30 at start of next season he doesn’t fit our normal signing criteria but if release clause is closer to £5m I think he’s a better option than Zungu and Davis will be retiring in next 1-2 seasons.
He’s probably more likely to be brought in if the likes of Kamara is sold.
Anyway like I said I think we were sounding him out at this stage but Left footed players are always good to have in squad.



31 Jan 2021 22:05:22
Sorry Ed, tried to post earlier but meds’ kic in and my iPad went flying across the room,

I went to school with Robert Fleck and played with him for Bobby Dinnie in Possil and iI was at a football function years ago with a few guys from possil and the area surroundings including pals of mine frank mcdougall and Macca and chic charnley, we were reminiscing about Mr Dinnie with Alan Dinnie, the thistle captain at that time talking about one boy, Fleckys nephew, John, he was only very young but these people know a player and John grew up the right way when he could easily drifted to the bad side of possil, the boy knows how to behave and is a fantasy talent, I would love to see boys from Glasgow making it again at Rangers, particularly from my neck of the woods were I went through the ranks with many great pros, back in the day so if young fleckys available then I say great.



31 Jan 2021 22:13:20
Bankie I can’t remember if he was or not to be honest.



31 Jan 2021 22:31:39
Guys, he always impresses me more than Luhdstrom who some people have been shouting about recently.



01 Feb 2021 00:28:25
Tomthumb, bobby dinnie what a legend lucky enough to be scouted by him and even luckier to be a friend an absolute gentleman.



01 Feb 2021 02:22:07
John fleck is a Poor mans steven davis.



01 Feb 2021 04:33:47
John Fleck would be a very good Signing for us, He's pretty much been a standout player for both Cardiff and Sheffield United leading them to promotions, Had a solid season last year in the prem. Look how much Sheffield United struggled this season to score goals when he was injured.

This is him playing for defensive sides. Imagine him in a more attacking game.



01 Feb 2021 07:50:39
We Fleck never played for Cardiff, did he?



01 Feb 2021 08:08:09
I'm also in the camp that john fleck would be a very good signing for us,
if we can do it 🤞I've been nothing but impressed with flecky, everytime i've watched him playing in england,
especially with sheff utd 👍He's coming into his peak years now and this would be the perfect time to sign flecky, with his best years still in front of him! Not saying for one second, that lundstrum isn't a good midfielder because he is, but if i had the choice of the two, I'd prefer us to bring fleck home 😁
Everyone and their granny was raving about young fleck when he was about to break through and IMO anyway, way too much pressure was placed on this kid's young shoulders at the time 🤔
I even heard comparisons made that flecky was going to be the rangers wayne rooney, such was his talent 🤔.



01 Feb 2021 08:10:49
Tomthumb12,do you think if we were to sign john fleck, that he'd be the replacement for steven davis or which other midfielder would you see him replacing mate 🤔 Where do you reckon flecky's best midfield position is 🤔.



01 Feb 2021 08:53:36
In football terms would add little and from a wider perspective not what club needs moving forward.



01 Feb 2021 09:20:38
Fleck never played for Cardiff it was Coventry and if I had to be a Choice between fleck an lundstrum
It would be lundstrum every day of the week and twice on a Sunday to be fair anyone that picks fleck over JL it’s just because he use to play with us.



01 Feb 2021 10:16:21
Fleck grew up in Yorker I’m sure but had family connections from possibly. But I’d agree he would be a welcome addition to our team 👍.



01 Feb 2021 13:10:32
Fleck contract expires 2023, obviously don’t know what it says if relegated.
I’m not sure on this one, a good wee player but.



01 Feb 2021 14:01:57
John25, on same club what happened to Lundstram deal said to be done?



01 Feb 2021 14:59:28
No idea. I was told he wanted to be our highest paid player.
I note he has not signed for anyone else yet.



01 Feb 2021 17:44:47
Johns mother and uncles come from possolpark, yes barber a lovely guy, very well respected too

Sgl, I’m not sure mate, but you’re in the right direction,

kJ, do you think you are an authoritative person on here mate, ? If people think fleck is a good call, then how do you know it’s beca he played here?



31 Jan 2021 15:36:17
Gilmore 18 months loan deal to rangers.



31 Jan 2021 15:44:00
Hope so John👍.



31 Jan 2021 16:05:26
Would be a superb move, he is some player.



31 Jan 2021 16:13:41
Is this certain John? What a signing. He’ll be the best player in the league and would suggest to me kamara will definitely be sold.



31 Jan 2021 16:18:21
Why bet he's no better than kamara or davis.



31 Jan 2021 16:26:04
Kamara to Chelsea as part of Gilmore deal.



31 Jan 2021 16:27:06
And wat if he does p. ay garbage will be in his contract that we needty play him every game.



31 Jan 2021 16:27:13
Great move if we can pull it off but I don't think it's it's great move for him or Chelsea. The boy has proven he is good enough to play in English Premier League. He'd be a starter in most teams in the the league with the exception of a few and he would be challenged more by staying there.

I would love to be proved wrong and see him with us though.



31 Jan 2021 16:27:16
Got to say a don’t think he’s better than Any of our midfield and to get into the starting 11 will be hard for him also heard Ryan Gauls was playing well and think the likes of braga ect are looking at him might be worth a punt.



31 Jan 2021 16:31:30
Ingerr three clubs in for him. Apparently we r saying we would want 18 month deal not six. SGL source your wife’s school friend.



31 Jan 2021 16:34:28
I would love Gilmour to return on loan.
You can't have enough good players in your squad.



31 Jan 2021 16:41:53
Interesting rumour John25 I heard from a mate who works in the industry that we were looking at Gilmour. He was right with Ojo a few years ago and only tends to pass on something if it has legs. He is an ideal replacement for Davis just wish we could get him in for many years but the boy has already shown he is capable of playing in EPL so maybe a loan but doubt perm deal.



31 Jan 2021 16:53:29
Gilmour is a superb young player but i think he would be smashed in our league with the cloggers.

Rather have Kamara for next 18mths.

In any case, very much doubt the rumour.



31 Jan 2021 17:03:29
Not fussed to be honest.



31 Jan 2021 17:18:40
Superb John25,i hope he/ you are correct regarding billy gilmour 🙏
Superb young midfielder, so you reckon its a goer John25 🤔 I won't name your source unless you want me to mate 🤔.



31 Jan 2021 17:26:39
Absolutely do not name my source please. Sgl.
U don’t know big interst London club and a championship team.



31 Jan 2021 17:29:11
Definitely a good player with potential to be great but i fear he might be to lightweight for our league.



31 Jan 2021 17:49:58
That would be good I reckon - he’s a great young player look at young foden for Man City

Gilmour back up here would be great too see coming back a better player with now some experience playing down there and will and can only get better.



31 Jan 2021 17:53:07
Not happening. Bad for lads development when he can cut it easily in prem.



31 Jan 2021 18:06:05
Does your reliable source think rangers will get billy gilmour on loan before tomorrow night's transfer deadline, John25?🤔.



31 Jan 2021 18:12:09
I’d be delighted to see the wee man return in loan capacity. 6 months would be no use really but 18month deal would be a great piece of business Iv been impressed every time I’ve seen him play.
Can’t understand why he’s not in Scotland squad.



31 Jan 2021 18:15:35
Gilmour only wants 6 month deal to make Scotland Euros squad, SG wants 18 month loan period.



31 Jan 2021 18:18:27
He does not think Chelsea would agree to 18 month deal.
I was reading West Ham were in for him, but can’t take in any more loan players. So they r probably out of the running.



31 Jan 2021 18:24:44
Not fussed about happy Gilmore on a loan, really don’t see the point.



31 Jan 2021 18:28:03
If the london team is west ham they have both domestic loans filled. If the championship team Bournemouth they have just signed 2 midfielders. Readon I name these teams I read a report earlier crediting sn interest from these teams. Font know if this is info your source is getting mate.



31 Jan 2021 19:04:48
Just because he can cut it in prem league down south doesn't mean he is too good to play for rangers. The premier league down south is vastly over rated. Granted he would do a job at gers but i would only want him if kamara is leaving. wouldn't want to hinder the development of one of our own players unless we were selling one of our first teamers. Even at tht if he was to sign no guaranteed start should ever be written into a contract. U should always earn your place. Guarding against any complacency.



31 Jan 2021 19:18:59
Herewego not the teams I was told. I said I’d read re West Ham myself.



31 Jan 2021 19:19:40
Crystal Palace in for Gilmour short term loan.



31 Jan 2021 19:28:00
Rangers inter and 1 other apparently
I'd love to see him up here, I think the boy is a class act.



31 Jan 2021 19:29:15
Absolutely not.



31 Jan 2021 20:40:32
Just not happening.



31 Jan 2021 21:01:27
No point in taking gilmour on 6month deal would be pointless.



31 Jan 2021 23:52:01
Hi all, Billy Gilmour will most likely go out on loan to Southampton, as much as I would like him up at Rangers, Southampton will be his destination. stay safe everyone, 55 very very soon.



01 Feb 2021 02:24:26
Poor boy still thinks he has a career at Chelsea don’t ever see him making the team under the new manager.



01 Feb 2021 07:23:10
fake news off to Southampton.



01 Feb 2021 09:11:29
Heard Southampton move in doubt.



01 Feb 2021 09:21:27
He ain’t going to Southampton and the latest is he could possibly stay where he is.



01 Feb 2021 15:00:45
Looking that way kJ, boy has no chance re euros regardless who he plays for. Just too early for him.



31 Jan 2021 14:38:00
Apparently derby have expressed an interest in George edmondson before tomorrow's deadline.



31 Jan 2021 15:49:10
Thread started below mate.



31 Jan 2021 16:14:23
Oops never noticed
Apologies.



31 Jan 2021 10:03:34
I see derby county wanting to sign the fridge from rangers 🤔Derby county manager wayne rooney in talks with wilson and gerrard regarding sign george edmundson, before the morra's transfer deadline 🤔.



31 Jan 2021 10:29:50
Just a loan.



31 Jan 2021 10:32:40
To be honest I’d like to see him go sand play football think his Rangers career is over
We will be bringing in better in summer club just keeps moving forward and the players are getting a better calibre

Good luck George hope you do well in your new club if it all goes through

it’s great to know how much we’re moving forward as a club 😊.



31 Jan 2021 10:36:44
Be a good move for big Samuel 👍.



31 Jan 2021 10:51:47
Good riddance. 👍.



31 Jan 2021 10:52:34
Was just about to post this tho it’s just a loan.



31 Jan 2021 11:17:16
I actually think he has all the attributes to be a top defender. I am hoping that he goes performs really well and either come back to challenge for a place or we manage to make a bit on his sale.



31 Jan 2021 11:24:13
Well hopefully if he goes he does well and get permanent move and get a decent fee for him.



31 Jan 2021 11:28:32
Coldo why good riddance the boys made one mistake and it's already cost him. I hope the boy goes and does well at derby and gives us a decision to make or we even get a good sale out of it.



31 Jan 2021 11:50:24
That's it Coldo, one mistake and he should be hung!

I wish there were more Perfect Peters like you!

On second thoughts, maybe not.



31 Jan 2021 12:13:17
Its not just his mistake, he's not good enough👍 his wage could be better spent. Good riddance👍.



31 Jan 2021 12:23:36
the clear indication is he and jones are not bright enough for the next step. a fairly common occurrence. why be nasty about it?



31 Jan 2021 12:29:08
I see the fridge as a long term ger. think the boys defenitly got potential.



31 Jan 2021 12:31:55
Ridiculous and embarrassing post Colin. 🙄.



31 Jan 2021 13:07:08
Might not think he's good enough just say that. No need for the good riddance whatsoever.



31 Jan 2021 13:12:00
I think he is a good quality CB that could have went on to feature regularly for us, but we know once you cross Gerrard especially with us professionalism your time is probably over at Ibrox, as seen with the way Jones has rarely ever featured for us. It’s a shame I think he will move on to good things though definitely a good player.



31 Jan 2021 13:19:31
Good to get him quality game time on loan and we can reassess at end of the season. I’ve not given up Edmundson and know full of remorse for the C.V. episode that cost him many opportunities for game time this season.



31 Jan 2021 13:29:37
Gd riddance is a ridiculous thing to say
🙄🤨.



31 Jan 2021 14:07:14
The cheerleaders are out today I see🤭😂😂, they didn't care about the consequences of their actions would have on the club or the team if they came into to training, and that was their intention👍 so why should we care about them? Gerrard clearly doesn't hence why they are out the door. 👍.



31 Jan 2021 14:12:05
Its unbelievable the way some of our supporters are treating Edmundson, the boy made a mistake and he has paid dearly for it, in case you don't know we live in a society where if you make a mistake you are still allowed to have a second chance . otherwise a lot of people would be on the scrapheap,
The Livingston manager has committed a far more serious crime than Edmundson yet he is being allowed to manage without anyone complaining, get a grip and support our players.



31 Jan 2021 14:27:48
he wasn’t getting game time before his party
we brought in balagun and he was getting picked before Edmundson
Helander
Goldson and balagun are our main centre backs
Unfortunately for Edmundson there better players and Gerrard obviously did not trust him enough way before his night out hence he brought in balagun

just let him go and let him play football nobody’s fault Gerrard doesn’t feel he’s good enough and it’s not his fault Edmundson isn’t good enough
As I say we keep moving forward and the calibre of players keep getting better
Surely it’s what we’re all looking for bigger and better marching forward 😁

I have no hard feeling towards him of JJ and hope they both knuckle down and have good careers
Now let’s focus on who’s coming in summer time
can see some big changes going to be exciting and interesting 😊.



31 Jan 2021 14:47:53
Coldo great teddybear that you are Jones and Edmondson did something that embarrassed our club. 1 thing and your saying good riddance. Morelos has embarrassed the club must be 4 times is it good riddance to him too.



31 Jan 2021 14:56:15
Think Rangers would maybe need to get another CB on loan or even get Simpson up just now, because if goldson gets injured we could be hitting a wall helander and Balogun have had there injury issues as well, a know we have a good lead in the league but we have Europe aswel it’s better to be prepared, but am sure sir Steven Gerrard will sort it out no problem.



31 Jan 2021 15:09:05
Coldo. To say good riddance, Is bang out off order my friend. 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🇬🇧👍.



31 Jan 2021 15:15:19
I wonder if there still might be a chance we could get jack simpson from bournemouth, in before this window closes, instead of our current pre contract agreement for the summer 🤔.



31 Jan 2021 15:50:26
I make no apologies, they could have ruined our season. You's are happy enough to slate naismith and call him a rat because he said we weren't the same club, that's ok to call him a rat but I say good riddance to two players that could have ruined our season and I'm out of order🤔 turn it up😂😂😂. And yes 6 counties I would take what we could get for fredo. 👍.



31 Jan 2021 16:19:41
Like I said on another thread, others have got away with far worse and are idolised on here. Boy made a mistake, been punished heavily. No need for the good riddance comment at all 👍.



31 Jan 2021 16:39:47
All ifs, buts and maybes Colin.
They never ruined our season as both Jones and Edmundson were dealt with by the police, SFA and more importantly Rangers with the club getting a pat on the back from the ScotGov for their swift actions.
They are still Rangers players so will get my full support.
Unlike the 'throw them under a bus' mob mentality from the Hypocrisy Brigade. 🤦.



31 Jan 2021 19:01:08
Are you trusting Gerrard's judgement with regards to Edmundson coldo?



31 Jan 2021 19:05:12
They never Mph thankfully, but their intention was to walk in to training like nothing happened and mingle with the rest of the squad, that is disgraceful. That could have ruined our quest for 55 and that doesn't sit well with me. So its good riddance from me👍.



31 Jan 2021 19:36:35
You're entitled to your opinion Colin. 👍
I'm opposite from you - I don't think Jones is good enough.
But think there is a player in Edmundson. He's been unfortunate this season in that Goldson, Helander and Balogun have all been excellent when played ( clean sheets testify to this ) and that we have the versatile Bassey on the bench most weeks who can play LB and CH.



01 Feb 2021 03:50:28
Coldo I’m usually one off the first to agree with your posts. But the good riddance part I cannot 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🇬🇧👍.



01 Feb 2021 09:21:52
Fair enough cunny its not for everyone, I accept that. I just have no time left for those two and I guarentee had we had games postponed or had to play games with a depleted team then the reaction on here would be anarchy. I know its ifs🙄, but we just can't keep excusing stupidity just because the worst never happened. As I said they never gave a flying feck about us, the club or the team or why should we give a flying feck about them? That's the reason they are out the door. 👍.



01 Feb 2021 11:44:00
Spot on coldo my friend, By the way that’s us here in Perth on lockdown as off yesterday, All because some idiot security guard, 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🇬🇧👍.



01 Feb 2021 12:25:36
I saw that on the news cunny mate, that's all it takes to shut us down. Pure stupidity. 👍.



30 Jan 2021 21:29:32
I think most of us are in agreement that the leagues over we’re champions in waiting so next year do we go straight into the champions league group stages? After our Stellar work in the europa league the last couple of seasons or is there still work to be done there? Also for an assault on the CL we’re going to need to strengthen yet again what do we think the main areas that need addressing?



31 Jan 2021 01:15:11
If Scotlands coefficient stays above Ukraines we do, Scotlands 11th Ukraines 12.its very tight and Ukraine also have 2 representatives still in the europa league but as it stands we're automatically into the group stages 😊.



31 Jan 2021 01:20:03
We go into 3rd round in the champions path so should be seeded, then there's the knockout round but unsure if we will be seeded as not sure how it works then.



31 Jan 2021 01:31:46
1 qualifying round, but we might be seeded.



31 Jan 2021 03:01:30
Highland, third round wualifier,i'malmost sure on it mate.



31 Jan 2021 09:51:00
We don’t go straight in the best that can happens is final qualifying depending on what teams win thru the 1st few rounds.



31 Jan 2021 10:33:06
Moss blown ger. that doesn't start untill next season. the team finished 11 in co efficiant only directly qualifies for the group stages if the winner of the cl has already qualified for the following years cl through there league position. normally it's the case but not gaurenteed.



31 Jan 2021 16:46:56
No matter what happens we play in the third qualifying round and will be seeded if one off six clubs don’t make it that far
Win that we play in knockout round, won’t be seeded
Get knocked out in either round we drop into europa league.
