Think it is now safe to assume there will be no joey Barton or niko kranjcar coming but today should really highlight to the board how much investment we so badly need. MW and DW have a huge summer in front of them because our results since the Celtic game have been unacceptable.
1.) 22 May 2016 00:33:39
Hate to admit it but i can't see them cumin myself would be surprised. All i can say is two words wilson keirnan the worst pair off centre halfs i ever seen wearin rangers jersey how we have got awa with winnin games this season with theh two i'll never know its been rangers story all season DEFENCE instead going for god knows how many midfielders warburton get your finger out and buy proper solid centre backs the fans have been screamin all season for them if we don't adress this were in for a nightmare season wich lies ahead its like havin young school boys playin at the back school. Boy errors comon davie weir u can surley notice the shambles in defence.
2.) 22 May 2016 01:01:41
Danny wilson was our best player today same as kenny miller what game were you watching halliday tavs and kiernans defending was absolutely shocking if andy and tavs think they'll be in our team next year they should think again and kiernan 3 of them are terrrible.
3.) 22 May 2016 08:33:45
I think with our players getting assaulted it will make any player not from Scotland think twice about it. I imagine that personal safety comes high up on the list on the job requirements!
4.) 22 May 2016 08:50:03
What don't people get about in not being about European qualification? If he was worried about the quality of opposition he would have accepted Burnleys offer already and play in the EPL and is passed playing two competitive games a week. Yes, we lost a game of football but it has been a positive season and we will never win every cup we play in!
5.) 22 May 2016 10:03:42
How can you say that Wilson was crap? He was brilliant yesterday and Kiernan was completely let down by Tavs time and time again. Tav should be moved up into RW position as he has zero capability to defend. he alone cost us the first and the last goal. Hats off to the keeper that nobody rated who kept us in that game. Fods/ Zelalem/ Wilson and Miller were the only players who got pass marks yesterday. Warbs- Terrible decision taking Zelalem off. Best game he has had for us.
6.) 22 May 2016 10:48:45
I agree that Zalelem played our best game he has played in Gers Jersey. I really don't know what Shields brings to the party he has came on for 30 mins in 34 games this season and has had a positive impact in very little of these games.
I thought Danny Wilson was our best defender yesterday btw
For me not playing for 3 weeks really affected us, I know we haven't been great since Celtic win but our usual crisp passing was woeful, we looked so tired and had little sharpness, it was no coincidence they scored right at the start and the end.
Better team won the match and as dissapointed as I am I think not being in Europe will help our league campaign.
Still been a great season and as always proud to be a Rangers Fan 🔴⚪ï¸ðŸ”µ.
7.) 22 May 2016 10:56:32
I think your right. Play awful. A new right back has got to be top of MW list.
8.) 22 May 2016 10:57:37
I thought our entire defence was poor, no defending whatsoever. Only Zalelem played well in midfield and McKay was like the invisible man! Up front Waghorn was not match fit but we had no one on the bench to bring on! Major remedial surgery is now required and that team lacks leadership on the park. We need to do everything we can to get Barton and then look to find a couple of lenders in the Butcher, Gough mould.
As for players from America or anywhere else we need a class midfield player and a striker that can replace Miller. No easy task!
9.) 22 May 2016 10:58:55
Zalelem done nothing but pass the ball on he is a nobody. Not once in the entire game did he make a difference. Another anonymous performance. The two players you should blame for yesterday are Tav for letting Stokes shove him out the way for the second and Haliday for letting Gray get that header unchallenged. that's what cost us yesterday not the centre halves.
10.) 22 May 2016 11:09:03
Well said Theglasgowranger, I saw it coming to be honest. It hurts however the players and staff need to learn from our weaknesses, which are blatantly obvious for all to see, and hopefully we'll be stronger next year as a result! On another note, thankfully Hibs won't have another big day out for another 100 years after that showing from their cretinous following!
11.) 22 May 2016 11:19:52
Watch it back. Danny Wilson didn't put a foot wrong. I'd stick with him despite some dodgy showings this year. Think I'm done with Kiernan now. Wilson can look shaky, Kiernan makes absolute howlers. Never seen defending like it for Stokes first. My Gran could skin Tav.
12.) 22 May 2016 11:22:42
Think every1 is being a bit hard on the team here. Yes there were some poor individual performances but considering we only had 5 on the bench showed exactly how little a team we have. Kiernon was dreadful for the first goal. He basically got out of stokes way and showed him the net. 3Rd goal should have never have happened. Corner came from our attack with nick Clark loosing controll of the ball and giving them a cheap throw in. We need penetration. Look at the possession. 60 percent with 3 shots on goal. That's simply not good enough. But as I said we were all hard on them. We will be better next year and will continue to get better every year. Good ol days are coming back.
13.) 22 May 2016 11:26:48
Teddyoftyesouth you're spot on with those players.
Zalalem is on a different level of football from most of the others. His failings are that the other players don't read the game the same way as him. He will be a great player. Miller was different class, Wilson was terrific. Waghorn out of touch and fitness. Mackay was none existent. The depth of the squad was a real issue.
14.) 22 May 2016 12:10:06
I've personally had enough of the danny Wilson criticism he's played well all season and yes been covering kiernans arse. he can pass the ball and defend if he was playing next to a proper sweeper i. e amo, bougherra, weir he'd be a top class defender. were better off out of Europe gives us time to concentrate on the league. c'mon the gets.

I think the within the next ten days or so we will have done a majority of our transfer business. At the moment we are being linked with all sorts of names especially guys who are available on a free transfer.
I'm not fussed about Barton not signing anything yet, took a while to get the Rossiter deal over the line. If he signs he signs if he doesn't we will move on. Personally I'd happily sign him. He was a stand out last season in the championship.
Cummings, I would sign in a heart beat. Yes he has some off the field issues but he is young and will learn from his mistakes and has the makings a real player, if he got the right guidance.
Dorrans, if the fee was right I would bring him back up here. Past year or so hasn't been great but still has his best years in front of him.
Still need a centre half or two. I know crooks can play CB but need something else I feel and also cover for right back but Iv no names to pitch at the moment.
1.) 17 May 2016 16:13:45
I wouldn't let Cummings anywhere near Ibrox, end of, he's not good enough, the guy is a legend in his own mind.
2.) 17 May 2016 17:36:57
I know imagine being a young man enjoying his football.
3.) 17 May 2016 18:54:39
Stuz
I think your wrong about Cummings I think he would do a job for us. Far better player than Clarke and can score a lot of goals. He is also young affordable and talented.
02 May 2016 11:10:17
Want to gauge thoughts on John McGinn.
Think he has had a great season for hibs and to be honest I was surprised that we never went for him last summer. He was a free transfer and is a young dynamic midfielder. Defo think he is worth a big even more so if hibs don't come up. Thoughts?
1.) 02 May 2016 15:13:21
Yip a think he would be a good signing.
2.) 02 May 2016 17:21:07
Yes he's a smashing wee player but no chance hibs will deal with us i reckon mcginn will be earmarked for a move to the rotten mob from east end of the city.
3.) 02 May 2016 20:46:42
Yes you are right he was a free transfer at the start of the season but we were too busy "chasing" Allan - he was a low risk gamble - too late now!
Better chasing Allan again once he moves on from Celtic?
Stubbs seems to spot these players about a season before us, both club and fans. To be fair MB and DW were just in the door but it was a missed opportunity?
4.) 03 May 2016 07:54:15
Would hardly call it spotting mcginn and Allan were both well coveted by most clubs in Scotland.
5.) 03 May 2016 08:04:38
Have to say, if I were going for a Hibs midfielder it would be Fyvie all day long, very energetic and peoples faces, so under rated in my opinion.
6.) 03 May 2016 11:04:04
ScottyGDF I hope your on the wind up. Fyvie?!
7.) 03 May 2016 13:20:23
Cee
May well be the case but Stubbs was the only one to take a chance on them.
18 Mar 2016 22:21:26
After about ten minutes Collins n delia must have been scared and for the last ten minutes they must've been laughing. As much as I'd like to see Falkirk finish second I don't want them getting points at our expense. We stopped at 2-0 where we could have quite easily went on to 5 or 6. Mckay n Miller were excellent but tavenier and Halliday were absolutely awful and at times I didn't know holt was even in the park. Whatever happened tonight needs to be nipped in the bud right now.
1.) 20 Mar 2016 00:10:27
Totally agree said the same but some of the guys can't see by Halliday who was poor sorry I'm old school kissing the badge doesn't get my attention you need to play football to get that Barry McKay best on the park subbed! Why.
2.) 20 Mar 2016 08:58:03
Bongo
2-0 up, all over them, seemed ok to give him a rest for the games coming up but could not have seen the folding up. I am not McKay's biggest fan but he does take the pressure off the guys at the back when he is on.
Think you are right about Halliday, don't doubt his love for the club but he is struggling a bit at the moment.
3.) 20 Mar 2016 14:40:04
Halliday is playing out of position since we don't have a quality holding midfield player and that has been an issue all season. I am sure that this will be addressed by the management team in the summer and it could be that the Accrington Stanley boy will do a job.
01 Feb 2016 13:53:36
Glad to see that the MOH deal looks to be over the line but I'd be a lot happier if we were in for a centre half or a DM and John souttar comes to mind. Surely we should through 200k to get him or at least get him on a pre contract. Thoughts?
1.) 01 Feb 2016 14:00:27
I would take a punt on souttar.
2.) 01 Feb 2016 14:02:50
agree totally with this.
3.) 01 Feb 2016 14:12:56
Just watched the Southampton website and according to the reporters Harry Reed on his way up to us!
4.) 01 Feb 2016 14:48:50
Big Crooks, will come into the team in that position I think - strong and comfortable on the ball -.
5.) 01 Feb 2016 14:50:03
Nothing on southampton website. Just checked it brain p. Would like to get him tho.
6.) 01 Feb 2016 15:07:36
Ali Crawford or John Souttar would be great signings but Souttar is more versatile ie CB and CDM.
7.) 01 Feb 2016 16:32:21
Reports are we're trying to get Crooks in before the window closes. Relax guys I mean the player not the spivs.
06 Jan 2016 17:48:47
Evening fellow gers. All I keep reading about is the negativity surrounding signing guys from Accrington Stanley and Doncaster but we have to be realistic here, bringing in guys from all over Europe got us in big trouble and put us where we are effectively and all I have to say to the doubted is. Jamie vardy, rayid mahrez, dele Ali, Chris smalling to name but a few.
All of these guys were playing about in the lower leagues (OK, mahrez was lower league in France) but look at them now all of these guys are rated at 20 mill upwards. Ok so maybe our guys won't reach these heights but we have got to give it a try and see what gems we can unearth.
Let's not be negative about the signings and try and put a positive spin on this because the laudrop, gazza, numan, arteta days are long gone and will not be back for the foreseeable future.
1.) 06 Jan 2016 19:18:29
Ed. or fellow bears, question. what's the news on 5 million loan. i see mike still got property rites? what's going on? by all accounts its paid, so what gives.
09 Jun 2016 10:40:56
Sorry lads. Just can't see it being crouch. Does that mean we change our whole style of play and lump the ball up front to crouch? Let's face it, what else would we use him for other than to see his wife at ibrox. I'll take any player who will win is the league but I just can't see crouch bringing anything to our squad.
07 Jun 2016 17:28:14
Broxy
Where have you been hiding mate? He was up yesterday for talks.
06 Jun 2016 14:10:23
I never actually said that you commented on joey Barton, I just asked were u one of the folk that heard his name and said no chance.
If we manage to pull this one off and can keep him fit then I think we have a great signing in our hands.
When's the last time that we were brining guys in from the premiership? (Ok I know Newcastle have been relegated)
These signings coupled with Rodgers at Celtic can only raise the profile of our game and start getting out league noticed and maybe start getting teams doing better in Europe.
05 Jun 2016 22:56:47
Stu magoo
How can you say that the original poster was talking pish.
We're you one of the folk that said Barton would never sign?
If we sign taylor and keep him fit, then we have a great signing on our hands. As much as I respect lee Wallace for all he has done I'd have taylor as our captain all day long. I'll probably take a pounding for this but it's just my opinion.
If we sign him then we back him like we do with any other player we sign and we fully support our management team.
01 Jun 2016 06:42:57
Some of these 'rumours' are now getting ridiculous. This guy is one of mls' highest paid players. Yes he does fancy a move back to Europe so he can get noticed for his national team but let's set things straight, it won't be to Rangers.
High time we should start posting sensible rumours that have half a chance of becoming reality not ones that have a snowballs chance in hell.
12 Jun 2016 08:52:29
Where's all this drivel about MW leaving. The club are in talks about a new deal just because it has not been signed yet some daily rag is reporting he is leaving and mass hysteria breaks out. MW has started us on a road to glory and he is not about to walk away.
09 Jun 2016 10:44:18
I'd take big lafferty back if he produced the same goods he does for NI. I'd like aluko as well but I think that ship has sailed. Think the gaffer has a few surprise names up his sleeve so we will just have to wait and see. Exciting to be linked with so many names and being able to bring guys like Barton here and at least attract enough attention that Steven Taylor came for talks. Despite what everyone's option is these guys have been premiership players for the past decade. I know Barton was in France for a year and both were in championship for a season each but still good we r getting in about them now.
06 Jun 2016 18:24:58
GersB
Does that really matter? Scott Allan comes from a Rangers daft family.
Kenny Miller played for Celtic and for me was our best player last season
Wee mo Johnston was paraded at park head and we snuck in and signed him
I also think ohallorans dad is a youth coach at park head.
02 Jun 2016 09:21:10
Onlyshowaround
Ive based his wages on basically what has been banded about the sites and what is reported in the press. 14k for an international player would for me be acceptable but the fact that Fulham have had a bid of 1.5m rejected shows that he is going to cost a good few quid and on top of that Fulham could easily double his wages for him. At 24 he has years in front of him but it could turn out to be a bidding war that we simply can't compete with. I have every faith in the management team, scouting system and the board.
01 Jun 2016 20:58:14
Reegie. Would you love to see us spend 2million on him and then 28k+ a week in wages?
