Romano post saying Shankland deal is done, confirmed tomorrow, just saying what it sais.
1.) 31 Jan 2024 23:03:33
FAKE ACCOUNT.
2.) 31 Jan 2024 23:06:50
Looks like you’re looking at the Romano fake account. His official account hasn’t stated anything about Shankland since end of last year.
3.) 31 Jan 2024 23:09:02
I seen a fake post saying this earlier. From "Frabrizio Romano". And I don't see anything from him now on his real account.
4.) 31 Jan 2024 23:09:18
Romano’s official account handle is: @fabrizioromano
The fake account you saw this post on is: @FabrizioRomani.
5.) 31 Jan 2024 23:10:28
Fake page.
6.) 31 Jan 2024 23:11:01
Fake Romano.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 23:14:19
The real Romano or the fake one?
8.) 31 Jan 2024 23:15:45
It's a fake account apparently.
9.) 31 Jan 2024 23:16:47
Double check the Twitter handle for the Fabrizio Romano you saw tweet that- you’ve been done pal lol.
10.) 31 Jan 2024 23:17:04
Not the real account I don’t think.
11.) 31 Jan 2024 23:18:53
I seen that, but it was on a fake account for Fabrizio. And nothing on his real account.
12.) 31 Jan 2024 23:19:49
Checked Romano. Nothing on his X page on Rangers or Shankland.
13.) 31 Jan 2024 23:20:08
Fake account mate.
14.) 31 Jan 2024 23:21:12
On a fake account. You would see it everywhere if true.
15.) 31 Jan 2024 23:26:29
Not the real Romano account mate.
16.) 31 Jan 2024 23:26:49
Must be a fake Romano account as nothing on real account.
17.) 31 Jan 2024 23:27:25
Don't see that anywhere.
18.) 31 Jan 2024 23:28:09
Where has he posted this?
19.) 31 Jan 2024 23:43:52
That’s a fake account, it’s not Romano.
20.) 31 Jan 2024 23:45:17
It's a fake account.
21.) 31 Jan 2024 23:52:11
Fake account.
22.) 31 Jan 2024 23:54:55
Trueblue it must be a fake account.
23.) 01 Feb 2024 00:40:11
It’s a fake account bud.
24.) 01 Feb 2024 00:50:02
No it doesn't.
25.) 01 Feb 2024 03:51:40
It’s pretty easy to check.
26.) 01 Feb 2024 06:33:06
Over 20 replies to tell someone they got their info from a fake Fabrizio Account!
???.
27.) 01 Feb 2024 07:02:34
Not sure if anyone else has said that’s a fake account ?.
28.) 01 Feb 2024 07:33:06
Fake account mate ?.
29.) 01 Feb 2024 08:28:50
Nearly 9 hours later and people still posting "Fake Account". Think he gets it for crying out loud.
30.) 01 Feb 2024 08:30:25
I guess it’s a fake account eh? ?.
31.) 01 Feb 2024 08:52:53

Take it we have enquired about the boy Beck at Liverpool, John? got to say was impressed when seeing him at Dundee, in the mould of Andy Robertson.
1.) 13 Jan 2024 20:15:31
Not just enquired. Had a loan bid rejected as soon as the transfer window opened, we’ve asked for them again but it all comes down to Liverpool.
2.) 13 Jan 2024 22:41:32
If we get this boy Beck what’s the chances we sign him permanently. I would rather we have a long term solution at LB than short term fix on loan.
3.) 13 Jan 2024 22:43:10
This deal could be difficult to do. I'd imagine there are other clubs in England that would give Liverpool the money they want.
4.) 13 Jan 2024 22:46:19
Can u be registered to three clubs in one season?
5.) 14 Jan 2024 00:18:05
You can be registered for 3, but can only play for two. So if he plays for a Liverpool then it’s not happening.
6.) 14 Jan 2024 01:26:06
Yes but you can’t play for 3 in one season. He hasn’t yet played for Liverpool this season as far as I’m aware. He was on the bench however.
7.) 14 Jan 2024 01:26:56
@carlukeloyal I’m a Carluke man myself.
8.) 14 Jan 2024 02:09:42
Orange tinted. You can't play for 3 clubs in 1 season. becks played for Dundee so far. If he plays for Liverpool then he staying at Liverpool but so far only played for 1 club.
9.) 14 Jan 2024 09:16:29
Good stuff Newquay. You still love here?
23 Jul 2023 19:32:58
Being reported now that a deal has been met for Danilo now, reported by Evening Times and the Record.
1.) 23 Jul 2023 20:31:25
Hope your correct tureblue.
2.) 23 Jul 2023 20:53:11
Dutch media reporting he's to get 39k a week. Would be our highest earner?
3.) 23 Jul 2023 21:36:03
Going to be some battle for the starting 11 this season - especially in the front 3 positions.
Sima, Lammers, Danilo, Dessers, Sakala, Matondo, Cantwell, Roofe, Hagi and Lawrence.
Hopefully see plenty of goals amongst that group.
4.) 23 Jul 2023 21:40:14
Also hearing this is now done.
No idea what the deal but I think it will be high weekly. ?.
5.) 23 Jul 2023 21:45:57
Paul86 I think Butland and Dessers, Roofe they’ll be others I’m not thinking off, are on good money but I think he would be the highest by a bit. Lol can see why he was so to come now. For this kind of outlay if true, he needs to be a hit.
Funny thing is Morelos was on big bucks to now he’s unemployed! Goes to show when your attitude stinks and you really unprofessionally put on quite a bit of weight nobody wants to touch u.
6.) 23 Jul 2023 21:46:28
The boy looks good we definitely need to shift a few now. Up front is heavy. On a plus note the squad looks strong a lot of the times last season the bench was very weak.
7.) 23 Jul 2023 21:54:18
I'm sure Goldson is on similar wages to that mate.
8.) 23 Jul 2023 22:13:44
EHL
There are 4 attacking positions in the 4-2-4 we seem to play
Number 10
Lammers, Cantwell, Hagi and Lawrence
Wide left
Cantwell, Sakala, Sima, Hagi, Lammers and Lawrence
Wide right
Cantwell. Sakala, Sima, Hagi, Lammers and Lawrence
Number 9 (lone striker)
Dessers, Danilo, and Roofe
6 different players for the 3 attacking roles behind the striker. That’s perfect for me.
3 strikers for the 1 or sometimes 2 up front striker option if we ever change to a 4-4-2 diamond which Beale has said he likes and we saw it during the end of the game versus Hamburg on Saturday.
It’s perfect numbers for me.
Could go into the number 8 roles too. Hagi, Lawrence and Cantwell can all deputise in there too along with Cifuentes, Raskin, Jack and Lundstrum.
With Cifuentes, Raskin, Jack and Lundstrum also very capable to sit in the holding role.
With the league, cup and Europe we will hopefully be fighting on 4 fronts for the majority of the season and we will need these numbers due to injuries, suspensions and with tired legs.
Looking awesome if you ask me.
9.) 23 Jul 2023 22:31:09
Think you can omit Matondo from that list EHL.
10.) 23 jul 2023 23:21:29
mr ranger, there's a fundamemtal issue with morelos, apart from the lack of professionalism, and lazyness, and lack of respect
and that is that he's not all that good a footballer, he has little actual skill.
possibly one of the worst strikers of a ball I've witnessed, brings strength occasionally, but he peaked at rangers and won very little, . i would be amazed if we hear of him much again, this top european scorer means absolutely nothing, there's rangers players, and strikers who aren't top european scorers who have bagsful of medals and caps
top euro scorer doesn't put him in the same stratosphere as coisty
stein, forrest, hately, and many more. it means he scored a lot of goals, often against minnows. but won nothing. thus why, he will get a club, but there's nobody chasing after him, nobody of note, he will sign for someone towards the end of the wiindow and dissappear. imo.
11.) 24 Jul 2023 00:50:00
Defo needs to be a hot as wage high other performers will start expecting same or more.
Looks a decent prospect though so have high hopes for our forward line this year.
12.) 24 Jul 2023 02:08:25
Goodness, I’d hate to hear what half of you would be saying about Alfie if he played for our rivals.
Give credit where credit is due, the guy ragged dolled the likes of Pepe, Hummels and so on. I can think of plenty of brilliantly struck finishes by him. Against Porto, Feyenoord, flick against Hearts, lost goes on.
Remember it wasn’t Morelos FC, just because the team didn’t win a lot of silverware can’t solely be blamed on one player.
Anyway, hope Danilo gets off to a flyer because o dread to think what some will start saying if he doesn’t.
13.) 24 Jul 2023 02:18:55
Porto, dortmund etc minnows?
14.) 24 jul 2023 05:04:13
nobody blamed it on one guy
just an honest assessment of a player, nothing more.
15.) 24 Jul 2023 05:11:45
Fair enough picking on Alfredo faults that's fine but some fans forget quickly the wonderful m9ments he's gave us, let's have a wee numbers game add dd up how many great moments he gave us and subtract how many bad moments he gave us, I'm pretty sure the good will far outweigh the bad, could throw taverner and Goldson in that mix too, why don't we focus on our players strengths more than on the negatives, all time European goalscorer and some fans still give him dogs abuse unbelievable, I for one will remember Alfies great memories more than the bad, wish him all the very best.
16.) 24 jul 2023 05:38:04
i havnt forgotten mate, i loved the boy, then i changed my mind, something i can't remember doing since alfie conn.
btw i'm not alone, my entire club feels almost the same, he peaked and got too big for his limited talent, that's all, i wish him well, but not anywhere close to our finest players, imo.
17.) 24 Jul 2023 06:42:34
There are plenty of fans who would disagree with you Tomthumb so I think your 'entire club' claim is a bit extreme regarding Morelos.
18.) 24 Jul 2023 07:20:09
Kinghenry55 MB has said ahead of both preseason friendlies that we are lining up with 2 strikers with 1 sitting behind.
So 4-3-1-2 or 3-4-1-2.
Not that I'm a fan of either.
19.) 24 Jul 2023 07:35:33
At the end of the day if your going to down tools at our club, your memory will be tarnished, simple as that.
Good riddance.
Morelos will disappear like a lot before him.
20.) 24 Jul 2023 07:50:12
Essential now we get rid of ofna few players this week. Squad badly needs trimmed.
21.) 24 Jul 2023 07:57:51
In terms of Alfie @ Tomthumb -I was only talking about his last season, I just merely mentioned that he was unprofessional and put on weight and suffers now because he doesn’t have the options that he should have ……. all facts.
I completely disagree with Tomthumb I don’t think you score that amount of goals if you have little skill as he puts it, and definitely don’t agree that he’s a bad striker of the ball, all I would say go and look at his goal home against Porto fantastic finish, and even the one away he took with amazing confidence. And Porto aren’t minnows. He scored loads like those 2.
All I was saying it’s amazing how you go from the world at your feet too not having anyone looking to sign you.
And hopefully everyone doesn’t jump on Danilo’s back too quickly as he’s coming to a completely different country and needs time like everyone. I don’t even know if he even speaks English. I remember Ridvan didn’t speak English when he came from Turkey and look how long it took for him to settle. I suspect a couple goals will help him adjust. And I don’t know if I’d be risking him on plastic pitches either.
If reports are right and he signs then- all I want is cifuentes and a defender and sort out what’s happening with BB. Then just focus on getting rid of Matondo ect! Trim the fat off because it would be nice to have a squad that everyone has a chance in it keeping the morale high. Right now there’s players I can’t see playing much.
22.) 24 Jul 2023 08:27:34
Personally think paying out around £6m and giving a guy £39k is mental… it seems a massive outlay for our club… financial fair play already hanging over us… will definitely need to get players out the door to balance this out.
23.) 24 Jul 2023 08:34:14
European record scorer doesn’t mean nothing and no one has said he is better than the strikers you have mentioned either but it’s in the record books whether you like it or not.
24.) 24 Jul 2023 09:09:51
EHL Dessers also said in a presser it's not so much about formations. It's about the idea of how we want to play. Football isn't as rigid as it once was. It's no longer we are playing this formation so we won't have X, Y and Z, for example 4312 would insinuate a lack of width. In the 4312 certain players will have freedom such as Lammers and Cantwell, where as Raskin as a defensive mid would be more disciplined in protecting the back 4.
I expect once this team gels we'll be playing exciting free flowing football with goals in it. My only concern is the back 4 at this time. Souttar is, in my opinion, our best defender but injury prone, Davies I get the fear every time he has the ball and we all know about Tavs defensive frailties.
25.) 24 Jul 2023 10:16:09
and how do you know that Alfie doesn't have a couple offers on the table that he is taking his time deciding on. i don't know if he has or not but we don't know for sure. i believe Alfie will be ok at the end of this window.
26.) 24 Jul 2023 11:57:15
Because it’s widely reported he doesn’t Geesadodothat! Coming from him too.
27.) 24 Jul 2023 14:21:28
EHL
yeah definitely an option but I was at the Newcastle and Hamburg game and only so two up top once when we had roofe and Dessers on. I think it’s just an option.
28.) 24 Jul 2023 14:49:00
One or two forwards on the books right now may have you thinking along the lines of banjo and bisons arse kinda thing.
29.) 24 Jul 2023 15:16:12
Tom, Alfie Conn great player but not half as good as he thought he was.
30.) 24 Jul 2023 15:49:43
Morelos will get something in Mexico, failing that he could buy a franchise from Texaco .
Bankie, if Alfie Conn was playing at the likes of Falkirk on a wet December night he would hide.
31.) 24 jul 2023 17:08:08
he was very good banking my friend, i hated him after that move.
32.) 24 Jul 2023 17:24:47
With the players signed or on pre-contracts we will have a number of players that can play box to box, play as strikers and can contribute both defensively and going forward.
We also have two solid attacking full backs and with Cifu, (when he arrives), and Raskin, we have two very strong midfield players that can support the defence and make forward runs.
One thing is for sure, certainly in Scotland, the teams that we are up against should be spending most of their time trying to stop our attacks for us to be concerned at how we defend against them if our squad is as good on the field as they are on paper!
33.) 24 Jul 2023 17:34:46
Hated Conn after his defection Tom. Unforgivable. One of my favourite players before that.
34.) 24 jul 2023 20:25:40
me too seeker, took me a few months to get over the betrayal because i knew at the time rangers wanted him back.
35.) 25 Jul 2023 00:28:23
Geesa
Would've thought Alfie new contract somewhere big news and media silence deafening.
36.) 25 Jul 2023 12:01:00
Hint-Stop reading/ clicking on the Daily Record and Evening Times. Keith Jackson said the Danilo deal was dead last week (as pointed out by 4 lads) .

This is my take on transfers based on what the manager has said in recent past, the club is looking to get back to a player trading model that didn't happen under Beales reign for whatever reason, in January we brought in three young players two of which will cost us I think around 4 or 5 million each, they are players with potential at a young age and after two or three years can the club make them better players, improve the team and sell on for a profit. This will be the aim with a striker as well, that in itself will rule out going for the likes of Shankland (if he is a target) unless he was a small fee or out of contract, striker, centre half's probably will be where the main budget is spent.
Would expect to see the continent being targeted for out of contract players as more scope there.
The turnaround in players will depend on who we can move on or who leaves.
I know in the past we have targeted young Scottish and British talent and I'm sure we will continue to do that if the manager wants them and they suit the model.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 20:37:33
Sensible post trueblue ?.
2.) 19 apr 2024 21:05:04
someone somewhere seems to be forgetting to win the league before buying up young talent fir future sales
we could lose next 5 titles while buying young players, , we must win before we start this, we seem to have forgotten about that at rangers, its beyond ridiculous we have somehow threw another title away, and it looks very much like we have now,
talk of buying youngsters fir future sakes is great, if you just won the league.
3.) 19 Apr 2024 21:45:40
Tom are you expecting us to buy tried and tested senior pros? That ain't gona happen mate. We need to buy young, improve them, hopefully sell them at a profit.
4.) 19 Apr 2024 21:50:15
Tt football is a business. Would you like us to win 56,57,58,59,60 then go back to 2012 again. we don't have a magic wand. trying to get a player trading model whilst winning the league is hard. in my opinion live within our means and grow and hopefully in the future we can propery expand with our team.
5.) 19 apr 2024 22:32:07
jesus, thanks fir that advice david, i never knew football is a business
heres a business tip for you, you need to grow from a position of strength, we cannot afford to buy young foriegn talent without cash coming in, that cash must come from cl or europa, that means the league is the uppermost thing
to win a league title you need a combination of experience and youth, with the emphasis on experience. , then when your flush, and in a position of power can you reach out to more youth and more experience, so you can continue to be strong while trading in the world market, i only played for 25 years and only in business for 40 so maybe i'm completely wrong, but ta fir letting me know,
celtic will be doing exactly what I've just said, and they win titles doing exactly that,
6.) 19 apr 2024 22:33:09

be prepared fir your next 10 years of total domination,
7.) 19 apr 2024 22:54:06
davie, i'm struggling to understand any of that
your actually asking me if i would like to win 56,57,58 and 60 titles
then suggesting somehow we would go back to 2012,, highly unlikely mate innit?
so yes, i would love ti win those titles,
8.) 19 apr 2024 22:55:53
tell me, how do we manage to go back to 2012, after picking up over 200million in cl money and selling all thise youngsters we bought, not very well thought out that argument davie, your better than that.
9.) 20 apr 2024 00:08:38
yes blue, that's exactly what i expect, this is rangers, not albion ricers, so yes i do expect us to buy experienced players, very much so, do you expect us not too?
10.) 20 Apr 2024 07:45:01
yiu either need to be good or lucky

alologies for the endlessrants, morphine n wine, great combo but not for the mind.
14 Apr 2024 14:01:11
Saw it coming first half, beggers belief that type of performance when your going for the league.
Don't deserve it with performances like that and County deserved it.
Now been beaten against County and Motherwell.
Needs to take players out of the team that are miles off it today.
14 Apr 2024 12:51:51
Might drop points here unless we play with far more urgency, County should be level, put Sterling in midfield Dowell and Lundstram look lethargic, Dessers missing too many chances, hope we don't pay for it.
Pretty poor first half and fortunate to be going in one up.
01 Apr 2024 09:40:21
Do we know who the ref is for Sunday, or when they announce it.
1.) 01 Apr 2024 10:46:49
Willie Collum.
That’s not actually funny!
2.) 01 Apr 2024 12:37:07
The ref for sunday is don robertson mate ?The park won't need watered that's for sure as the forecast is heavy rain all week continuing well into next week ?I've serious doubts our game in hand against dundee a week on wednesday will be on ?That quagmire dens park will never be playable with all that rain forecast ?.
3.) 01 Apr 2024 15:16:07
Tannadice groundsmen have been working on the pitch for about a week now, might make a difference.
10 Feb 2024 12:04:29
Probably already been said this week but really excited about the impact a fit Tom Lawrence could make for us, sees a pass always looks forward and wants the ball with game intelligence, looked to be very comfortable receiving it in a slightly deeper area then moving forward dictating play.
We have missed that cuteness in big games like against them, we have running midfielders like Cantwell that can score but he's a bit different.
Silva as well will cause teams a lot of problems as he's a good player.
1.) 10 Feb 2024 12:43:42
Yes tb once right up to speed he'll be massive for us mate, he'll be that goal scoring midfielder we need during the run in if he can just stay fit.
2.) 10 Feb 2024 13:14:03
Still looks a bit off the pace to me but getting sharper, his willingness to shoot from outside the box is something we don`t currently have and is a big asset as we saw on Tuesday night .
3.) 10 Feb 2024 13:24:11
Tom Lawrence is pure class on and off the Park. A fine Asset to have. Cotton wool required to get him ready for Europe, (Hope Is he in the squad) ? .
4.) 10 Feb 2024 13:39:16
He has the ability and vision to make a big difference for us in the run in. I just hope we can keep him injury free.
I believe if anyone can get to the bottom of these recurring injuries its Mr C.
5.) 10 Feb 2024 13:48:08
Deecee Tom Lawrence is anything but a class act off the park mate. He’s a coward n a scumbag.
What he done when he crashed his car pished n ran away leaving his injured freind and team mate, and captain injured in a crashed car is despicable and anything but class.
Never wanted to sign him and be happy when we move him on.
He’s always injured so can he even be called class on the park?
Not for me.
6.) 10 Feb 2024 14:14:06
Class of the park deecee? Really? Not in a million years.

I am also sure if Richard Keogh can put it behind him and still be mates with Tom Lawrence the extremely fickle Rangers fans should also be able to do the same.

Was long b4 he was he was with us a spur of the moment choice when he's had a drink. Everybody has made bad choices. And as i said richard keogh who he left has gotten over it almost immediately so am sure the rangers fans can.

Pretty sure we would keep Lundstram been exelllent since the manager came in and he is one of the first on the team sheet, would expect him to sign new contract, Jack is on a year deal and as much as I like him when fit once again this season he misses a lot of football.

Was thinking today that Roofe will retire soon because of not being able to play, or we could see him being released going to another club and then being fit! Like Lazarus Helander!

On a pay as you play basis?
Can only see that being an option for a club bringing in Roofe as he’s never available for selection.
Can’t see him going to a lower Scottish club if that was the case either, more chance of him going back down south if anything.

The money paid was too much I agree, but I watched him and he was a much better player than some of the names mentioned.
Thats my opinion no bothered about yours.

Michael Ball probably didn’t live up to that fee and we paid it, but he certainly wasn’t a failure of a player, he was decent, unfair to mention him with some of the other names.

Shankland for me, think of all the chances that we create and if they fell to Shankland pretty sure he would be on more goals, also he’s done well against them when a chance has fell his way and that’s with Hearts.
It’s all hypothetical though.

Done well yesterday and certainly more assured than Goldson but he’s mid 30s and for next season would be a decent back up, hopefully we are targeting some fresh blood at centre half area.

Correct Scotty.
