For everyone

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Good folk good memories
Take Care Guys n Girls
All my very best wishes go with you all.

Very poignant Fork. I know certain times of the year are harder than others for you and you and the other posters who have suffered loss are in my thoughts.


You are a very decent man Fork and I wish you and all posters and the Eds a very peaceful Christmas if that is what you need and a very Merry Christmas if you can manage it.

23 Dec 2025 10:39:01
Fork, wishing you well, pal,
You're one of the very best on here. Someone I've a lot of time for.
I hope you're ok.

23 Dec 2025 10:59:07
All the best fork, just hope Santa brings me a new book of Chinese proverbs for me to try and keep up with that standard and not another broons annual.

23 Dec 2025 13:13:34

23 Dec 2025 14:06:03
All gd guys, I'm fine, just having a wee break n popping in and out, thought I'd post the Dylan Thomas poem as I found it apt due to a few lads suffering loss, speaks to me about not giving in and to keep going, though despair and melancholy bite, it still offers a flicker of hope in difficult times.

23 Dec 2025 14:21:56
All the best when it comes Fork.

Hi Guys, a sad update for you, my dear Son passed away on Saturday at 11.45pm. he had fought long and hard after his Bypass Operation in July, but a combination of his Type 1 Diabetes, and Renal failure finally took over, and he contracted a very serious infection which the Doctors said couldn't be beaten.

I wish you all well for this Festive Season and for 2026, I won't post for a while until my head gets around all of what's happened.

Tragic irvger so sorry for your loss.

22 Dec 2025 13:35:06
Lasted less than 2 minutes of the Raskin interview. The lack of intensity in his voice or basically lack of giving a s*it perfectly obvious. making more money in a week than the average fan makes in 6 months is mothing short of scandalous.

Time to go Niko. The lack of winners medals in his time here tells a story. much the same for the rest of them. Ill leave Barron and Sterling out of that mix. we need 2 windows to fix this mess.

22 Dec 2025 14:55:55
Agreed yep, midfield too soft and bossed by that Devlin character, he scared all of them incl Barron.

22 Dec 2025 15:18:47
What do you feel about the lack of medals that Tav has or Souttar or Butland for that matter 😆 Jesus wept.

22 Dec 2025 15:56:56
your case in point would be Tav. not Butland or Souttar as they are in the same category as Raskin. The Celtic winners medals put us to shame.

23 Dec 2025 11:27:16
Degree i share your frustration bud.

Barron though wasn't bullied by him. I seem to remember Barron leaving a bit on him a couple of times.

23 Dec 2025 11:27:49
-Deecee' sorry not degree. Autocorrect.

23 Dec 2025 13:00:56
I think he was bullied in a football sense athole we devlin absolutely bossed the middle of the park. Anyone can go out and leave something on someone.

23 Dec 2025 13:35:50
Aye that's true BB. They overran us from the 1st minute.

At least Barron was battling to try stem it. No one else was.

23 Dec 2025 19:30:19
Barron was rank at the weekend giving your best is bare minimum and I don't even think he done that.

25 Dec 2025 12:14:38
Devlin is a wee growler and we don't have one and Barron is nowhere near as hard as that guy no one in the league is, his tackling stats are beyond belief he steams in to everything and anything.

22 Dec 2025 12:21:48
We all know our defence needs a rebuild, majority are on loan or out of contract at the end of the season.

But our midfield also needs a rebuild IMO. We need a number 6, hopefully it sounds like we might have one coming in.

Dio hasn't progressed as much as I hoped he would, he's ok but I had high hopes for him when he signed. Feel he has stalled and maybe needs a move?

Raskin I have never massively rated, it's all well and good saying he is in the Belgium team but really he has had 6 good months for us - the rest he has been injured or poor. If we get a decent bid I would sell to fund other new signings.

22 Dec 2025 15:10:58
💯 Bee. I've never been impressed with Raskin. He had a good 4/5 months last year but in general he's been bang average and poor a lot. I couldn't care less that he does well with Belgium. He does very little for us consistently.

22 Dec 2025 16:13:53
Totally agree.

22 Dec 2025 19:01:54
Raskins time is up for me as is dio, sell for what we can and reinvest.

23 Dec 2025 02:01:05
Would sell Raskin so we can reinvest in team.
Plus think he wants away as it appears his place at WC could be in jeopardy if we sign someone in Jan and that restricts his game time.

22 Dec 2025 10:22:08
Disappointing result yesterday and a game I felt was there for the taking.

Credit to Hearts, they play to their strengths - really compact behind the ball, work incredibly hard to win it back and trust their forward players to provide moments of quality along with their set piece threat. Nothing spectacular or tactically savvy but admired their physicality and energy.

Thought Rangers were comfortable and more settled until the disallowed goal which lifted Tynecastle and shifted the momentum. 2 bad mistakes from Jack and we were punished.
His distribution was really poor, didn't understand the need to constantly go long and bypass the midfield when the ball wasn't sticking up top. Felt there were ample opportunities to invite a Hearts press to play through or around them.

Clear thing is we need more leaders and physicality in the side.
A GK, centre half that can also cover left back, a physical midfielder and an attack minded player. These should be the priorities for me.

22 Dec 2025 05:05:09
For the dross we have in front of us i think Rohl has done well, ill put my neck on the line here and say hearts will not win the league, whoever has the best January transfer window out of us and them will win it.

22 Dec 2025 08:19:41
Rangers won't win the league with this group. There is far too much needing fixed to do it in a difficult January window.

22 Dec 2025 10:17:26
I'll not giving up all hope just yet. It's been a crazy season in Scotland and who really knows what'll happen next?

21 Dec 2025 22:17:56
Hate when I see tav using his hands and saying calm down guys if we win we are in a title race.

22 Dec 2025 05:45:23
Taverneir is finished, another howling performance yesterday.

21 Dec 2025 21:19:09
We have to be serious about jan there's no way we will be able to get in ghe number of players we need or the number out but we must build from the back. At least 1 prob 2 ch needed depending on the injuries to Souttar and cornelous we need a central midfielder who can dictate play instead of this passing side to side and imo a winger who can create no matter who we have as a striker if we don't create we won't score so at least 4 needed but i'd hope we are working on 1 or 2 ooc players for the summer.

I believe this league has gone as we will drop more points before we fet any1 in so building for next season is imperative and being ready to go straight away.

21 Dec 2025 23:11:59
The league isn't over. Yes, today had been disappointing, but there's still along way to go.

22 Dec 2025 13:48:24
until we can't win it, i will have a belief, maybe its unlikely but give up hope you give up everything.

22 Dec 2025 15:19:58
The league is gone it's never been on for a long time don't know what people watch when the watch us and think we can win the league 😆.

22 Dec 2025 18:50:34
First defeat in the league gives me a bit of hope Storm. There's still a lot of games to be played plus factor in us, Hearts and them have still to play each other twice.

23 Dec 2025 02:10:35
Not sure where people get idea we can win this league.
Jan should help but we cannot replace enough of current under achievers to make it happen.
Look at team on sunday who gets pass marks
Maybe Sterling, Barron runs around a lot but does not offer a lot more,
Raskin, Diomande do not look interested
Least said about Tav the better.

21 Dec 2025 19:20:12
I'm going to throw this out there see what becomes of it.

Could it be Lewis Ferguson for Rangers no6 and that's why people are getting so excited?

Values €20m?

Would this new board sanction €15m and Connor Barron maybe?

21 Dec 2025 19:36:53
That's certainly out there mate but can't see it. Not only from the finances for us but would he really want to come back while he's well regarded over there and had really big interest.

21 Dec 2025 19:51:28
No under contract till 2029 and we're not paying that.

21 Dec 2025 20:29:35
Kaiser totally get what your saying bro. I just don't see why everyone's so excited by the Swiss lad.

This no6 is going to need to be a special signing to match the hype.

21 Dec 2025 22:30:58
No chance he is signing for us.

21 Dec 2025 22:40:50
Why would we want to add Barron the wee man has be class.

21 Dec 2025 22:49:30
Don't see it anywhere bar here. Fantasy football. 20 million value.

22 Dec 2025 00:26:46
Yeah lads I tend to agree, other than the heart there's nothing for him here.

Just thought I'd pose that question in terms of who this 6 could be.

22 Dec 2025 08:28:48
Stevie. if it is Freuler I am not sure if it was the signing Ievel I expected but tbh I didn't know who that would be. however we are talking about a guy who has 84 Swiss caps and over 300 in serie A so he is obviously decent and has the right experience.

whether he can do it with us is always the question.
one of his previous coaches called him the leader of the orchestra and boy could we do with that type of player now.
that make is out there now so suspect it isn't him.

22 Dec 2025 11:20:50
Angus, that makes sense what you're saying mate, I haven't heard of the guy if I'm perfectly honest.

Maybe I'll go have a look. I know with Swiss mob that xhaka is the one leading the orchestra for sure so maybe this guys his partner I take it?

22 Dec 2025 13:47:51
Stevie Xhaka is outstanding mate, Freuler was mentioned to me a while ago, think that's where it coming from, heard nothing about him for months mate.
