Luke Graham called up to the provisional world cup traing camp. He's happy to stay at Dundee or if not his proffered move is still down south. This came from someone that speaks to his mum.
20 May 2026 13:31:22
We need players who want to be at Ibrox, so if their mind or preference is elsewhere - then walk on bye. π
20 May 2026 13:54:06
I think that's ok, Davie, till the reality that you will make 5or6 times at Ibrox than what you will make at Dundee money talks.
20 May 2026 14:12:56
If Luke Graham doesn't want to come to Rangers, we should move on, and it's his loss. π€ We only want players that are wanting to come to us without this humming and hawing. π€

Stevie G, he was a brilliant coach when he was involved in Halliday's business.
20 May 2026 14:19:19
At the end of the day, Rangers need to make an offer to Dundee which is acceptable to them, then the player is given permission to talk to us.
We have not made that offer yet.
20 May 2026 14:30:58
Dundee turned down 1.5m for him last window. He's looking for greatly improved terms at Dundee. There are supposedly 13 Championship teams with interest in him. He was invited down to Portsmouth but not sure if that went ahead. Personally, I say we move on from this as looking very very doubtful.
20 May 2026 14:31:44
John, you know as well as I and others that a lot of offers are made unofficially.
20 May 2026 14:32:34
Not saying this is the case for the Dundee lad, but it's the way we operate a lot of the time, and pretty sure we would already have been talking.
20 May 2026 14:33:42
Rfc, I totally agree, but how many young players come to Rangers and regress in their career. Championship teams would probably top what Rangers could offer him.
20 May 2026 14:46:50
To be brutally honest, if we walk away from every deal where a player wants to explore options, we'll sign no one of any note.
20 May 2026 14:52:35
Well said, EHL.
20 May 2026 16:02:41
Forever totally agree, yes we have been talking, can't progress if Dundee don't accept an offer.
Davie, majority who come to Rangers, their career regresses.
20 May 2026 16:16:10
I also agree with the regression thing, John. Simple fact is, we need to play these boys every week to let them improve, but in our position of having to win every game, managers don't want to take that risk, which for me is understandable but ultimately wrong.
20 May 2026 16:23:04
If we only sign players who love Rangers, then it's never going to work. Players need to explore the opportunities available to them. And we also need to agree an offer with Dundee.
20 May 2026 16:35:15
Forever, I agree, and we, as fans, are responsible for that. If we weren't so demanding, then he could play them. They would develop and grow, and we would win more games in future. Simple really. π
20 May 2026 16:42:57
Rangers would increase his wage ten fold. It would be life changing money, and a life changing move. He wouldn't stay at Dundee, he would be joining Rangers. I hope we go and get him.
20 May 2026 16:48:06
Really annoys me the whole 'if they aren't sure if they want to come to Rangers, forget them.' There's big money out there for these lads, barring Scottish born players, not many's dream is to be in Glasgow, like it or not, that's the reality.
20 May 2026 16:49:58
Maybe he doesn't want the pressure of playing at Rangers.
It's not for everyone and many have failed.
Never mind the corruption that is on show for the other side; unless challenged now, they will keep getting their way and winning everything.
20 May 2026 17:15:20
Wow, I had no idea we'd be offering him 50k a week. I take it back; he'll be a mug not to sign with us.
20 May 2026 17:53:55
As an alternative option EHL me for Β£25, 000. π€£
It's all about choices. ππ
20 May 2026 17:55:57
Why wouldn't he explore his options? Say a top Championship club offers similar wages and guaranteed 1st team football and a chance to play in the EPL, that's worth considering, surely.
Different if he has had a bid accepted and he's not that fussed; until there is a concrete bid on the table he should always be looking at his options.
If anything, it shows his ambition and makes me want him more.
20 May 2026 18:23:03
We need to be buying up the best Scottish potential players if we can imo. And he would fall in that bracket. We need a few defenders this window!
20 May 2026 18:41:12
It's all about balance Bee, this club needs to have its identity and a Rangers mentality in the changing rooms, at same time it must strive to find the best available men.
And this big has as much right to weigh up his options as anyone else has, saying otherwise is ridiculous.
20 May 2026 19:52:04
Like Mulligan, his preferred destination is Rangers. It's up to Rangers to stump up the fee
20 May 2026 20:45:35
We would be no different. If two or three companies were interested in me, I would meet all 3. Get all the information and then make an informed decision on what's best for my family, my working career and my financial livelihood.
20 May 2026 21:03:34
Talking about regression thing, look at
Connor Barron, I'm a big fan.
I honestly think if he played every week.
He would be a top top player for us.
He gives his all.
N I honestly think if he played every week he would shine n boss it.
Barron has the ability.
And, u think Weekley he would thrive n become a pivotal player.
But as a bit part playe we only see glimpses of his best.
20 May 2026 21:04:44
But some of the players who exhibit this Rangers mentality haven't come from this league, nor are they Scottish: Laudrup, Butcher, to mention just 2 of many during our golden hour, probably knew little about the club or league before they came.
Just good professionals and normally internationals playing alongside others of the same class. We won't get that class again, probably, but we need to develop that mentality when they do arrive.
