Rangers Discussions

Only allowed 6 loan deals we have used all so unless someone on loan leaves no more loans will be coming in.

21 Jan 2026 11:17:50
This was covered multiple times yesterday. Moore does not count due to his age.

21 Jan 2026 12:01:53
this is giving me flashbacks to 'how do the champions league qualifiers work' discussion at the start of the season 😅.

21 Jan 2026 13:11:05
That and the Stevie G won't be manager because of tax restrictions.

21 Jan 2026 13:47:36
JFM09 You beat me to it. Fork is rolled up in the fetal position just at the thought of it. 🤣🤣.

21 Jan 2026 13:53:39
what is Stevie g not going to be manager. It must have to do with his tax though as he was employed abroad 4 decades ago 😂😂.

21 Jan 2026 14:34:15
Sorry Fork, hope you aren't having flashbacks because of my comment.

21 Jan 2026 15:20:07
You are correct Pieter😉🤣, that's Angus's wheelhouse now🤣🤣👍.

21 Jan 2026 07:46:28
Brilliant result for Clement last night - really is doing some job for them.

21 Jan 2026 08:45:19
EHL a really good manager who didn't get the right conditions to show his best here. I still am disappointed he didn't get the chance to take us through the takeover. right manager, wrong time I think.

21 Jan 2026 08:45:52
good to see, definitely had a rough ride at Rangers.

21 Jan 2026 09:56:38
He's certainly giving them a chance. How about coming in for a couple of ours he brought like Bajrami or Nsiala on loan or others he worked with like Danilo or Dowell. Hope it works out for the him. Might have had a rough ride but also let himself down by being unwilling to react or adapt.

Despite the cost cutting we still had a squad valued far more than our results reflected. I'm far happier with the job Danny is doing even before any spending.

21 Jan 2026 12:15:17
Kaiser Clement got the poor squad he was left playing well also and had us challenging for the league I remember until we lost a couple of games. I think our issue was that he wasn't supported really re the player positions he wanted to bring in. was that the reason he couldn't change things. also the players stopped doing what was asked of them during games.

My main fear for the club at the moment is that the same happens under Rohl and we go through all the same rubbish again of his pressers being poor (only after we start losing mind), his subs and tacts are poor (where previously they were great) and he doesn't adapt or react.
hopefully not and if we do the board and owners hold firm to allow us to play through bad patches.

21 Jan 2026 13:17:37
Angus Yes I agree he did well at 1st and had to make cuts. However it's went from paying the most in Scotland down to roughly the same as Celtic so still far better than the rest of the league we were failing against consistently. We can all try and predict how things would have turn out but ultimately will never know. We can only judge going by what actually happened and what he said. During his time he regularly refused to adapt or react to other teams or circumstances. He also said his only plan B was do plan A better and wouldn't try different things because players can't understand different formations as it's too confusing for them.

This was his main downfall because even opposition managers said they targeted that fact. Just look at the difference under Danny Rohl who has been able to adapt to team and react during games to great effect ie Celtic game. We'll never know if it would have improved but results under him sadly weren't good enough. Wish him well for the future tho.

21 Jan 2026 13:57:42
Kaiser we see things and remember things differently here and that is okay as that happens. no pit discussing or raking over the coals

however the main thing to worry about now is that our team who have no experience really of getting a title over the line may suffer the same as we did in Clement's first season. we have less experienced players now and it will be Rohl's first time leading a team in those circumstances. I hope we can manage to get it done but if not we are in a good state with Rohl and hope we down over-react.

20 Jan 2026 21:06:48
Piroe any one?

20 Jan 2026 19:40:50
Watched Bodo Gimp v Man City what a result 👏🏼👏🏼well done excellent.

20 Jan 2026 19:03:39
Absolutely stunned watching this Bodø performance.

Only one team look like they are in preseason.

🧨🔥🇳🇴.

20 Jan 2026 19:35:04
Gd watch and could be 6 too👍👍.

20 Jan 2026 20:19:45
They were absolutely fantastic Fork.

20 Jan 2026 18:30:24
Bodo/glimt players Patrick berg and Kasper Hogh are on just under 14k a week. They are giving a doing to man city and we pay more than 30-40 k a week to Matondo, Danilo and Dowell who either don't play or struggle vs the mighty St Mirren and Falkirk. Let's hope these new boys do better.

20 Jan 2026 23:18:27
Wine, looks like Norwich are signing Hogh.
See they beat WBA 0-5 tonight, Norwich fans are loving Clement.

20 Jan 2026 23:18:56
Whineonthewine, of let's just shift the three you've mentioned,

21 Jan 2026 09:26:32
Just asking, but do we find it difficult to get players from Europe because of our tax laws e. g 30/40k after tax etc. Is cut by almost half.
Maybe wrong, but don't think its so high in some countries.

21 Jan 2026 10:41:10
Bar your post made me look. so the top tax rate in most of the top football nations is in excess of 45% at least so no huge benefit I don't think. the thresholds make a difference, i. e. when they start paying that but remember that is the weekly salary you say but annual would always be above top rate.

they could go to Bulgaria, Hungary etc where tax rates are low but salaries aren't as high and football isn't as good as top 5 league.

21 Jan 2026 11:40:24
👍Angus.

20 Jan 2026 18:26:12
Rumour that norwich city are looking at kasper hogh from bodo for £6m, we should be all over that at that price, he's just scored 2 against man city in champions league.

20 Jan 2026 18:37:44
Should've had a hat trick.

20 Jan 2026 19:06:56
Fork no use for us then if he misses chances 😉.

20 Jan 2026 20:03:28
Too true😉.

20 Jan 2026 17:37:55
I would like to give a small shout out to BB4, Fork and the many other tip posters who have been taking time out due to personal reasons.

I hope you guys are well.

20 Jan 2026 18:12:27
I'm gd bud just easing back in now and then, seen BB posted earlier👍👍.

20 Jan 2026 09:51:49
Igamane done his ACL. disaster for him.

20 Jan 2026 11:49:30
That's a pity, seemed like a rally innocuous challenge as well.

20 Jan 2026 12:38:14
Really not really.

20 Jan 2026 14:50:59
Disaster for us too as if have 15% sell on and he went for say €60m we'd been looking at €9m into out pocket in the summer.

He'll bounce back and he'll be good for them next season and then move onto one of Europa big boys.

20 Jan 2026 16:13:48
Stevie I think there is time before he even looks to be getting that sort of price. he has only made Lille league starting team 4 times this season with 9 sub appearances. yes scored 5 goals but I suspect teams at the level above looking for him to be regular starter and performing against the top teams in Europe.


but next season hopefully he kicks on as this is just his second season in a decent league.

20 Jan 2026 16:58:55
Angus thanks for that info maye I never knew that I genuinely thought he was starting all their games mate.

Maybe cause I've paid attention to Europe I've picked it up wrong them. If he's starting all their Europa games.

Ur probably right then mate.

20 Jan 2026 17:23:39
Stevie started 4 in Europe and sub in 1. noticed while looking at the stats that he had adductor pain in the last couple of games. I wondered if that could have been the precursor for his ACL injury and seems it can cause instability in knees so could have done. not good for the lad anyways.

20 Jan 2026 18:11:00
Just goes to show Angus, when I seen the challenge I thought he was trying for a penalty and expected him up and running about minutes later. I was shocked when he got subbed back off. Didn't look like much contact at all.

20 Jan 2026 18:38:51
JFM didn't see it. however I read when checking for post to Stevie that 70% of all injuries are caused by non contact injuries. so in the main during rapid deceleration, cutting, pivoting, or landing improperly with the knee in a slightly bent or neutral position.
so tackle probably was nothing.
shame for the lad anytime but playing in final even worse and when they lose.

20 Jan 2026 19:10:50
Angus Stevie, Morocco manager says igame injury was his fault as he pushed him to play in afcom

We will also miss out on addon for him playing in WC

I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

20 Jan 2026 21:35:25
John cheers for info.
