Dominik Szoboszlai is a future Ballon D'or winner.

Only question is will that be with Liverpool or Real Madrid Ed?

{Ed001's Note - I hope at Liverpool as he is a boyhood Liverpool fan, need to get rid of Slot though to keep him.}

18 Mar 2026 20:47:57
I agree about Slot. EPL win aside, he was never the standard required.
I think Liverpool won the league in spite of Slot rather than because of him.

On Szoboszlai, I have always admired him, from the day he exploded onto the scene in Germany.
He is a truly special talent, dare I say, generational.

18 Mar 2026 23:11:00
That's high praise, Aphe.

Can't see him hitting that target, mate, tbh, but maybe you'll be right.

18 Mar 2026 18:51:42
Barcelona and Newcastle some first half minutes, hopefully the second halfs the same, a need Barcelona winning for bet builder.

18 Mar 2026 19:00:31
Lewis Hall had a great opening half.

18 Mar 2026 19:31:05
He was brilliant in first leg, star, some engine, aggressive, brilliant crossing, he's a good yin, mate.

18 Mar 2026 19:36:13
Another English team leathered the elite level. It's frightening these days.

18 Mar 2026 16:30:24
Johann bangsbø would be a low risk low cost quality left footed central defender option.

18 Mar 2026 19:39:29
A football writer's dream. I can see the headlines:

Johan Bangsbo (bangs balls) in the net.

Had a quick look, and he seems to have a few attributes which would fit us and Scottish football. He is good physically, but has a good passing range, and can play in a high line and be part of the high press, which Rohl would seem to favour.



At under £1M on Transfermarkt, it would be low costs and low enough risk. 👍

18 Mar 2026 20:01:16
Yes, I thought so too, Angus. A quick Flip Helander.

And one thing I have noticed is he doesn't tend to have any niggling injuries.

18 Mar 2026 20:42:10
Aphe, that is, until he comes to us, realises how comfortable and warm our medical room is. 😂

18 Mar 2026 20:49:31
That is where he struggles, Angus. 🤣 He is a Swede, I think even your native Aberdeen would feel pleasantly warm.

18 Mar 2026 22:18:12
Aphe, it is pleasantly warm today. First time the wife hasn't had the log burner or heating on at night. Like Helander, hopefully he would learn to adapt to the wet weather of the West Coast.

18 Mar 2026 22:29:35
Keep them coming, Aphelion, because we need a few to improve our overall quality.
ps, I'm not bothered where they come from; can be Scotland, Europe, or anywhere else - as long as they can play and are strong enough characters to enjoy the challenge if playing for Rangers.

18 Mar 2026 22:37:15
I am glad you are enjoying the warmth, Angus. It has been a typical wet day for us here in Bergen.

I am sure he would have no issues with the Glasgow weather. Goteborg is much colder, wetter, and certainly more windy.

18 Mar 2026 14:19:56
After Scotland under 21 squad yesterday, good to see we have three under 19s selected

McGuire, Macallion smith.

I suspect gentles munn, burnside will make wales ni age group squads.

18 Mar 2026 15:02:23
Pleased for the kids. Hopefully they serve their nations well.

Out of all our kids, who would you say are closest to first-team ready? Top 2, division domestically.

18 Mar 2026 15:24:46
John is the young boy from Glasgow, not in any Scotland squad yet?

18 Mar 2026 15:34:25
Storm appears to be Scotland playing games with him, trying to force his hand re us or Portugal.

imo he is not ready for the 19s, 17s first would serve him better.

Aphe, imo Lawson.

18 Mar 2026 16:12:03
Cheers, John. That's more positive news.

18 Mar 2026 16:14:30
Thank you, John. Hopefully we get him out on a good cooperation loan next season.

18 Mar 2026 16:27:19
Aphe, imo Lawson ready to join first team squad next season. Work needs to be done on Glasgow.

18 Mar 2026 16:32:50
I would be delighted if he can make the jump to the first team next season, my friend.

The more homegrown players we can field, the better the long-term success of the club will be.

18 Mar 2026 18:11:49
I forgot about Glasgow and Portugal, John, thanks for reminding me. 🤦‍♂️ Has he been called up by Portugal's younger team this time?

18 Mar 2026 18:30:21
Storm, I looked but saw nothing.

18 Mar 2026 19:16:31
Storm Rangers' review in December said he had been called up by their U16s for a double header against Italy that month. He had played for Scotland's age groups just before that.

I can't find out if he actually turned up or was in the squad. He has until 21 anyway, I think, to decide.

18 Mar 2026 22:32:53
I would love to see Lawson get involved with our first team next season. As many have already said, we need to establish an internal pathway from academy to first team (for these showing the attitude and desire to match their ability).

18 Mar 2026 13:43:40
Ed 1 reports sugest slot and highest leaving Liverpool, u think this is a positive moveb.

{Ed001's Note - very positive, Edwards should go with them.}

18 Mar 2026 13:53:16
Don't want u to be too successful mate, highest, should read Hughes.

18 Mar 2026 15:25:11
Slot should have gone months ago.

18 Mar 2026 11:21:30
Really am diluted on here nowadays. Arguing about Barron. Like I've said who needs enemies if your a Rangers fan.

18 Mar 2026 15:25:41
It's a debate, mate, you are going to get it with any player.

18 Mar 2026 16:16:55
Agree, Storm, and before Barron it was Skov Olsen, and before that Souttar, etc etc. It is what the forum is for imo.

18 Mar 2026 17:20:46
Let's debate Tav for a change. 🎣

18 Mar 2026 18:18:24
Top rated player in Scotland on SofaScore. 🫣

18 Mar 2026 19:42:20
I get where you're coming from. I just don't see how anyone can get worked up over Barron. I like him, but not enough to get remotely upset if someone else does not. Not a divisive player at all for me.

To be fair, there are not many in our team I like enough to feel that way about.

I notice it when a player gets an injury; my reaction this year has been mostly meh.

I think a lot of it is just the way fans like to pick a side in a debate to get involved, which I don't mind in general, but it's kinda boring when it's about a player like Barron, for me anyway.

18 Mar 2026 20:47:08
Tommy, I think that as a Rangers fan, I always want to see the good things the player offers, whilst acknowledging the poorer parts of his game. Social media can stir that poor feeling towards a player, and fans then go pre-loaded to a game and react very early if the player makes a mistake. That anxiety and reaction affects the team.

On top of that, we don't know what the player is being asked to do, so we expect Barron to be that Zidane (sorry), but he is being tasked to just win the ball and pass it quickly to the inventive players.

Same with Olsen, people expect the speedy winger when he isn't that and isn't being asked by the manager to be that.

So I like to 'defend' our players even when they have had a bad game or a few bad games. Also, if we don't chat about our players, what else are we going to discuss on here. 🤷 Don't get hot under the collar about it, but I like to put my point across, perhaps too animatedly at times, but hey ho.

18 Mar 2026 10:52:44
By the way big gogic looked like maldini on Sunday . Just saying.

18 Mar 2026 12:26:46
Thought that myself, Rab, only 31 as well.

18 Mar 2026 13:16:38
Big Gogic has been solid and consistent for a few seasons. He could easily come in and do a job as a squad player, like Andrews did years ago.

18 Mar 2026 13:39:21
We just don't know how he would do. Andrews was peak of his career at 29. Just because he suits St Mirin doesn't mean he would fit Rangers, who prefer to play out from the back.

Not saying he wouldn't, but you just don't know, same as every new signing.

18 Mar 2026 13:41:57
We should've taken him in the summer and let "Big Soapy", as some call him, go! He'd be a lot cheaper as well.

18 Mar 2026 13:55:02
Gogic is an excellent pro.

18 Mar 2026 14:48:25
He did a good impression of Buffon at one stage too.

18 Mar 2026 15:31:21
He snuffs a lot out, sitting in front of defence rather than playing CB.
