Penrice announced by club. Not sure about this one but let's hope he hits the ground running.
15 Aug 2026 17:34:01
Should've been signed when he was at Livi imo.
15 Aug 2026 17:35:30
Why aren't you sure? He's come from arguably a better team than ours is currently, and he's a backup. Don't know what you're expecting.
15 Aug 2026 17:45:15
Another good bit of business.
I'm probably alone in this one, but really like how the squad is shaping up.
15 Aug 2026 17:45:56
He's a starter at present, Twisted Tonic.
15 Aug 2026 17:49:25
I'm with you there, EHL. Would really like a LW signed though.
15 Aug 2026 17:52:13
Should have been in weeks ago when it would have benefited us to have him. What's not to like about him, great delivery, SPFL experience and is a winner!
15 Aug 2026 17:54:26
Badly needing a mobile striker as well as a LW RB and another CB.
We need to add pace and agility in forward areas.
15 Aug 2026 17:56:16
Without adding three genuine quality players the squad is diabolical. If we get three good players who can impact a game then we'll do okay as a filler season.
15 Aug 2026 17:57:30
Penrice, knows the league, a natural lb and more than able left back. Loan fee £1m and option to buy, if he does well he's ours if he doesn't he's gone.
How on earth is this not a good signing?
15 Aug 2026 17:59:42
A couple of defenders, a left winger and a striker, and we'll be in a far better position. We have some promising players from what I've seen.
15 Aug 2026 18:00:40
You like how the squad is shaking up, Ehl? Don't have a competent rb, central defence is a bomb scare, every midfielder does the exact same thing, wingers who don't create, but Yokota, who's shattered after 55 minutes, and strikers who look like they've won a competition to play for us. The squad's an absolute shambles.
15 Aug 2026 18:03:15
Agreed, Ehl. Also, as well as a net positive on incomings, I think at the end of the window, we will look back on the guys who have left with some satisfaction.
15 Aug 2026 18:04:51
I think he will be a good signing. I also like the look of Drago, Pandev and Yokota.
Hopefully a few more to come in to add a bit of quality and hopefully we click soon. Need to get some points on the board on the league, and qualify for Conference League.
First up, need to stay in the cup!
15 Aug 2026 18:10:20
Ehl, I'm probably in agreement to a certain extent, but the injuries and results have taken the shine off any of the new players coming in.
The gauge at the end of the window - how many of our players walk into the team in the East End - I'm thinking, as it stands on performance - Raskin?
15 Aug 2026 18:22:11
I agree with you, Ehl. Some people don't get that it takes time. With the planned outgoings and a few coming in, I believe we'll be in decent shape in a few weeks. If the drama queens don't sack the board before then.
15 Aug 2026 18:22:53
The squads a riot, man.
15 Aug 2026 18:26:11
Bearsbear, Raskin was very poor on Thursday. In particular, his recurring problem of too much needless running was the major reason for our press not working. He is a top player in many ways, but you can easily see why he frustrates managers as he confuses personal effort with playing for the team.
15 Aug 2026 18:33:15
EHL, I agree to a certain extent.
I think what we've signed is the squad depth. The solid base, if you like.
What we're missing is the quality to sit atop that solid base.
We can debate long and hard why we've not got that quality in yet, but I think we're at least 5 starters short at this moment.
Might not get them all in this window.
We've had rotten luck also, during games, during transfers, and no doubt the Manager has made a couple of decisions in-game which haven't worked.
Need to get the heads down and work harder to get through it.
15 Aug 2026 18:39:23
Still need a creative CM & an Arfield type late runs into the box for my money. Another LW, ST, RB & CB. If all 5 could be starters that'd be good.
15 Aug 2026 18:55:18
James Penrice won't be a Rangers back up left back for me, he'll be our first choice left back going forward. 👍🇬🇧
15 Aug 2026 19:01:43
EHL, not alone in that. I think with the right additions before the end of the window we could have a good squad. I think we now need CB, RB, LW, 10, ST all quality starters and we could be in good shape.
Think Penrice was a great LWB at Hearts and we should have signed him start of last season. Now think LB is solid enough for the season. GK I think Padur is taking a lot of unfair criticism. CB we have 4 potential defenders that could do the job but in Fernandez, South African lad.
Godfrey and Sterling however have fitness concerns about last 2 so would like a CB to sure that up. RB I think we need to go sign a starter. CM I think again we have the quality needed. LW think we need a starter with Curtis as back up. 10 I think we need a starter with creativity. RW I think Yokota is our best signing so far. ST I think Shankland will come good but we need another with Chermiti injury.
15 Aug 2026 19:13:28
Gordon, that's why I put a question mark. So how can we expect to compete if we haven't got a single player who is better than our biggest rivals?
We must start to bring in 2 or 3 of that level.
15 Aug 2026 19:27:36
Like him as a player. I doubt Rommens gets back in the team now.
15 Aug 2026 19:33:03
100 percent agree with the comment regarding Raskin being a heedless chicken at times who compromises the team's pressing shape. Didn't wee Barry Barry or McCann say he tried to do everything himself, but they told him to focus on attacking the box, and it coincided with his best spell with us?
15 Aug 2026 19:48:16
Raskin was doing what he was instructed to do on Thursday night to chase and press the ball. They were all doing it and, as a result, we lost all shape. Watch Raskin when he is playing in a decent team and is asked to sit, he does it and does it well.
Last season, in the good run under Rohl, he and Barron were excellent together, dovetailing in midfield.
15 Aug 2026 21:50:47
I wish we had a left back in sooner. Especially with Rommens' injury record. Had a few niggles now. Maybe if we had decent competition for Rommens we wouldn't need to rely on him every week, and could rest him every now and again. Would probably help keep him fit in the long term.
16 Aug 2026 00:27:45
A striker who runs behind is needed and a baller in midfield who wants to dictate and play forward.
I'd hoped Rohl would try to get a Barca kid on loan (like Arteta).
We cannot control games. That said, I think DM wants us man for man and running about rather than controlling the ball. 😞
16 Aug 2026 00:34:23
Bazbear, why is it just Rangers that it takes time? It's just bs excuses.
