07 Jul 2018 14:24:14
Apparently we have been given first refusal on all Liverpool loans for their youngsters. That should cause another timplosion.



07 Jul 2018 14:52:16
After last nyt to those that was there but was it just me or did alfredo Morelos look a lot fitter looks like he's lost a bit of weight but he looks good for it



07 Jul 2018 15:20:26
Defo lighter but still same old sitters missed and scruffy shots



07 Jul 2018 15:28:51
Maybe lighter but got to agree same old sitters and scuffed shots.



07 Jul 2018 16:12:17
Wasted argument! For some reason people in here like Morelos unlike most of the rangers support I speak to at the games!



07 Jul 2018 16:50:33
well obviously someone in rangers like him to since he didn't get sold last year or told to look for a new club like a lot of other players



07 Jul 2018 18:00:30
"Wasted argument! For some reason people in here like Morelos unlike most of the rangers support I speak to at the games! "

How many of those were singing his name when he scored then? To my ears, it was the majority in the stadium.



07 Jul 2018 18:53:54
Yes cause he scored big deal! He ain’t good enough and if we want to win the league then we need far better quality than Morelos! Same applies for the midfield area, yes Arfield will add energy and more quality but we will still be overrun unless we add better quality in both areas!



07 Jul 2018 19:16:03
Think Morelos showed last season he's more than capable of scoring goals, a little more composure when the pressures on him and he'd near be the finished article! Pretty sure working under StevieG will only enhance his game, and at 22, the best of him has yet to come!



07 Jul 2018 20:00:56
I will take Gerard’s opinion on Morelos over yours anyway Ronnie



07 Jul 2018 20:12:13
Morelos is only a young guy, . How many did he score in his 1st season? In a new country. In a new league.



07 Jul 2018 20:22:30
Oh Ronnie it's not worth it mate you'll never change the mind of Morelos club on here i'm with you on it



07 Jul 2018 20:38:42
I get that everyone is entitled to their opinions but to read some of stuff, the dislike and what seems to be almost hatred of one of our own players seems mad to me. I've no idea if Morales is the real deal or not but I'll continue to support the lad



07 Jul 2018 20:41:51
"Oh Ronnie it's not worth it mate you'll never change the mind of Morelos club on here i'm with you on it"

Ok, your in the minority, which generally would point to the obvious, your views are flawed. Without Morelos, how many goal's or assists he was directly involved in been the total of our goals for stat. If your in any doubt as to his worth, look into it, . I'll look forward to your response.



07 Jul 2018 20:51:13
RonnieR9 you are so negative about one of our players, Leave Morelos alone and just wait and see, for God sake he is only 22 and trust me I have seen worse 22 year old strikers who went on to become Legends. he has scored goals at every club he has played for since a young age and still lots to learn, he now has the players around him to become better and he has great coaching staff who will work with him on his game. So pipe down and try supporting the lad.



07 Jul 2018 21:02:13
Dld707 I know mate, this lot haven’t got a clue! How low have standards got when people think this current midfield can give Celtic a game and Don’t get me started on Morelos! He’s only young what a lot of old tosh



07 Jul 2018 21:15:49
morelos pros outweigh the cons fur me, link up play ect bullys defenders at times a actually hink he would be good in behind the striker if he could adapt



07 Jul 2018 21:19:29
Sorry can't believe that people can't see a player in Morelos, his work rate is good and he is strong, holds the ball up well, but it's obvious to me that he would play much better as part of a partnership rather than on this own up front .



07 Jul 2018 21:33:26
Just in case the manager is reading this. Who should we be signing RonnieR9?



07 Jul 2018 21:41:17
Slipster how many points would we have taken from celtic had he not missed from a yard, 3 feet! no alleged striker should ever miss from there his conversion of prime chances to goals is laughable never ever rangers class and I'm sure Gerrard will see the attitude sooner than later



07 Jul 2018 22:34:31
Stupid question blueberry! Gerrard didn’t have to suffer watching him for 90min several times last season! I’m not paid the big bucks to make these decisions! If a reasonable about of money is put on the table he will Probably be sold! His finishing is woeful, he clearly doesn’t understand the off side rule and his link up play is poor, not to mention is childish sulking! If he would have put away those easy chances against Celtic then maybe we would have been in a title fight. Listen like everyone else on here I’m Rangers through and through and nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing my team back on top wiping the grin off that other lot but I just believe we need better than Morelos ignorance we are to start winning titles!



07 Jul 2018 23:02:15
Fans are never happy! "he's not rangers class" who is? Every single signing is a gamble. Yes, Gerrard will attract a better quality of player, but think we could definitely do a lot worse than morelos. signing a "bigger name" doesn't guarantee success.



08 Jul 2018 00:09:11
Listen to Ronnie guys. I'm with him on this. Morelos tap ins and 6 yard box goals against most of the lesser teams in our league is just a smokescreen, Alfredo is just a good squad player, nothing more. Need better quality



08 Jul 2018 00:59:11
Can't believe some of these bears a can a sure u Morelos will be our top striker this season with 25+ goals so anybody want to take the bet of your choice in cash



08 Jul 2018 08:30:51
To start with I get what lots of people are saying when they mention the sitters he missed fair enough there really is no excuse for missing them. People are saying we need better, that may or may not be true we will find out as the season unfolds, but we clearly can't afford better as we are looking at loan signings now instead of buying a striker so you have to make so with what you have, I for 1 like him and I don't agree that his link up play is poor I think that's a strength of his game. As I say we all have different opinions which is good because life would be boring otherwise. Let's just get behind every player who pulls on that jersey and look forward to a better season.



08 Jul 2018 08:55:48
And how do any off the anti morelos group no Gerrard won’t work wonders for him or the rest of our squad u just have to look at the mhanky mob in the season we beat them in semi final of Scottish cup then Rodgers came in n went unbeaten with 90% of the line up wit started against us SO let’s see how these players do under Gerrard b4 slating then also use say Morelos will/ needs sold if good bud comes in but tell me this who is going to play upfront n score the goals and do all the hard graft lke Morelos cause there’s no guarantee who ever it is will b better than Morelos



08 Jul 2018 10:37:02
We will sign a couple of ST's so morelos will have to up his game in order to keep his place, if he doesn't then he will be out the team so its over to him. Personally I think that he wastes too many chances, but hopefully he does push on under gerrard.



08 Jul 2018 10:57:00
I'd keep morelos unless a significant offer comes in. The lad is young and should improve under Gerrard. He will have a part to play this season.

However, looking at the bury game, we cannot go into new season with just morelos and windass as our main attack threat and expect to win league.

I actually think the improvement in the team around them, highlighted the deficiencies in their areas.

I expect SG will bolster the options over the coming weeks.



08 Jul 2018 11:29:44
Me thinks Ronnie and a few others are either on the wind up or have slithered over from the other side.

If not, they must think that they are experts where SG falls down since we have brought in players in all areas except up front.

I have said it before - we don't need or want fans who seek to undermine our club or players. If you can't get behind the team go and sort out your garden!



08 Jul 2018 11:49:06
Dk17 another numpty who comes away with ridiculous comments like undermining! It’s an opinion which is shared by so rangers fans excluding the blinded folk on here!



08 Jul 2018 12:18:26
DK17 are we not allowed an opinion did you have a go at all those who slaughtered halliday hodson Martin etc
No its all about opinion I think your wrong you think I'm wrong that's it



08 Jul 2018 13:23:46
Love him or loathe him, morelos is still a young player his touch will come, if he stays injury free and gets games he will score for fun, the manager and backroom staff have faith in him, they see what we don’t, there was a lot of positives on Friday night, and for a wee change there is a belief in our team, we have a born leader in our manager who is talking the talk, so sit back and watch us roar, and remember, we are the people. 🇬🇧



08 Jul 2018 13:23:45
So Ronnie who would you have in front of Morelos sine he’s not good enough think you need to go to spec savers as your clearly needing glasses your one of these guys that nothing is ever good enough I’ll tell you this though he’s better than you



08 Jul 2018 13:24:16
DLC so cause he missed chances against Celtic and doesn’t matter how many points we would’ve took we weren’t good enough Morelos is a good player and I think all strikers miss chances after all they are only human



08 Jul 2018 13:25:39
Season not even started an alfredo been half slated

Support the coaching staff
Support the squad (every player)
As i said before if you can't support them threw good games and times as well as bad games and times then it time to ship out and go and support a livi. thistle ross county etc etc



08 Jul 2018 13:47:04
Brilliant DK I couldn’t beleive it when I read from Ronnie

Yes cause he scored big deal! He ain’t good enough
He scored made two with rebound shots the defence couldn’t cope with . won practically every 50/ 50 was even back defending . give the boy a break . some of the goals he scored start of last season were top class till the Ronnie crew started and he lost confidence . no wonder players find It hard and the team can’t flourish at ibrox.



08 Jul 2018 14:14:53
Gersman based on last season can you not see why it’s not good enough! He missed sitter after sitter last season and I think you are the one who has to go to spec savers! We’ll see how much of a chance Morelos gets when the the Roma striker and possibly another striker come in! That’s if he’s still here come the start of the season!



08 Jul 2018 14:01:06
All I can say guys is check easy tigers post from 08 Jul 2018 11:22:06 on Rangers banter 2 page or later by now. guy has it spot on. it’s ok to have an opinion yes but when it’s delivered to have a negative effect (as in Alfredo’s case) surely it’s better to keep the faith and believe in the boys obvious talents . hatley . McCoist . and many others would never have been greats if we followed the doubters



08 Jul 2018 17:02:25
I watched the game online. Morelos has good instincts and gets into good positions but lacks that bit of composure. He is only 21 and I think the composure will come in the next season or 2
Would love to see the Defoe rumour happen as I think he could be the old head that model is needs. I think give the boy time and he will get better with time



08 Jul 2018 19:54:10
Ronnie R9 your spot on, everyone has an opinion doesn't mean to say your right



08 Jul 2018 22:51:02
Ronnie your a person!



09 Jul 2018 11:42:34
Yes, Morelos misses a few but he also got a no bad return in a Gers side that was erratic to say the least consistency wise throughout the season.



09 Jul 2018 19:03:08
Listen boys see FADDYWADDY1 he is a Celtic fan coming on and playing down our players, there’s not many facts on this rumour page but this is one. I work with him and he came over today laughing about how he commented on this. Avoid him like the plague. When we call them the
Obsessed, this guy is the worst. Never off this rangers page. I’m forever fighting with him in work. I would never go on a Celtic page, not even to wind them up. He is sick



06 Jul 2018 23:03:14
My observations from Ibrox tonight were that Katic is a machine who will stroll it in SPL and Middleton is first team material without a doubt. He ain't no kid-well built and rapid. Never seen much of pelter as he wasn't troubled much but we know how good he is already. A good, forward performance tonight in my new seats G1 Loyal. 10/ 10 for optimism but I will admit that we need options up front and something different in midfield if we're going for 55.



07 Jul 2018 07:40:17
Agree 100%. Most impressive and to see so many youngsters on the bench bodes well for the future. Definitely need other options in midfield and attack and hopefully Rossiter will soon be fit to compete for a midfield place as well.



07 Jul 2018 07:56:09
Worth the 5er I spent on Rangers TV that was entertainment and Katics goal was brilliant nothing special just hits it on target away from the Goallie and it's in feel Windass should have scored if he put his laces through his shot but it was promising to see him get I to those positions Arfield is a fantastic signing bossing that midfield 3 pushing McCrorie forward saying I've got this covered loved every minut3 of it



07 Jul 2018 08:14:07
Katic machine? Must not have been watching the same game as me then, if anything Goldson is the machine, he was head and shoulders above everyone else and imo is captain material, agree with Middleton though he should be first team this season some great balls he was putting in



07 Jul 2018 08:49:26
Noticed goldson was doing all the shouting. a think he would be a good captain. sorry Tav but imo your no captain material



07 Jul 2018 08:59:55
Katic will find this league easy mate. Mark my words. Guys got a proper engine/ physique to boot. Top scouting.



07 Jul 2018 09:03:48
its a friendly against bury lads great to see these players get off to good starts but i will be keeping my judgement until we've played aberdeen away which is a proper test too many false dawns last few years



07 Jul 2018 09:14:56
I agree with tgr, goldson was the best player on the park followed by arfield. Goldson will be the one Katic learns from, he was commanding and never looked once like allowing bury a sniff of a chance looked epl quality imo



07 Jul 2018 09:30:46
great display from the bears bury were terrible but you can only beat what is put in front of you looked a lot more energy on the park than last season and glad morelos got a goal but we definently need a couple of new strikers as the dury is still out on morelos but definitely looking much better at the back



07 Jul 2018 09:41:07
I really don’t know where your getting this from tbh, is it just cause he's tall? Few times he was out jumped by a smaller player, where as Goldson won every ball in the air and ground and never put a foot wrong, also controlled the game to perfection



07 Jul 2018 10:24:32
TGR, I was also at the game last night, Goldson was immense but Katic was also very good, big and strong he won a few tackles and has plenty of pace, they will forma solid partnership, give the lad a bit of support instead of behaving like a schoolboy in the playground saying "my favourite player is better than your favourite player ", let's go



07 Jul 2018 10:44:45
Cant believe some folks are having digs at players already.



07 Jul 2018 10:47:38
@jetmayfair I’m in full support of Katic. It’s not a case of my favourite player is better than yours, I’m just curious to know where G Unit is getting his opinion from as I saw different, how about letting people have an opinion without telling people what to do?



07 Jul 2018 11:38:24
It was a good performance but we should never read too much into any friendly game. Primarily about getting the team fit and used to playing with each other. The Aberdeen game is where we'll really see what we're made of.



07 Jul 2018 11:44:44
What I liked was the our defenders looked fast for the first time in years. Arfield looked good and what we have been needing and liked the look of Flanagan who was putting himself about. Think by the looks of it there’s been some great business completed already. Very excited for this season!



07 Jul 2018 11:58:36
Bury are an English League 2 team who could probably beat the Mickey Mouse team that knocked us out of the Europa League last season so 6-0 against any team isn't bad! However, I agree the real test is almost upon us and a convincing result next week in the EL qualifier is essential and beat the Sheep in our opening league game and I'll start to believe. Happy days are here again I think.



07 Jul 2018 13:00:16
Tgr u just said it pal its his opinion and i also think katic strolled the game always shouted for the ball never panicked or gave the ball away he's also really quick for a guy his size so me aswell as a shedload of other fans at ibrox obviously except u were impressed with the big man plus he's only 21



07 Jul 2018 14:11:40
Firstly i'll state that our new centre half connor goldson, is not rio ferdinand, but his style of centre half play, is of a very similar style, to ferdinand! Ferdinandesque if you like. Does any other bear see these same similarities, that i've stated?



07 Jul 2018 14:33:32
TGR I train Territorial Army soldiers to help my country mate so I know what an athlete is when I see it. Keep it cool buddy we are all in the same team. Q11



07 Jul 2018 15:23:50
I never said I wasn’t impressed? I think he will be a decent enough defender I just don’t think he’s a machine like what was said in the oringial post.



07 Jul 2018 15:35:40
Well said Southend Rangers, we haven't even played a competitive game yet and already we have some people having a dig at players, wait until the team have had a good run of games, let's go



07 Jul 2018 15:52:41
Where is the champions league final in 2020? I'm trying to keep a lid on it but I'm just wanting to book a hotel just incase.



07 Jul 2018 16:12:38
Although it was only a pre season friendly win over Bury there was plenty of positives in the display.



07 Jul 2018 16:11:15
I was at match also and there was a moment I noticed bury player skipping past Goldson only for Katic to block the shot with a cracking block! Was actually wondering why Goldson didn’t make a tackle?
