Bears is there any more info on Connor Goldson not signing on. Confusing why he wouldn't want to give a few quid to the club who has looked after him decently. Think it looks selfish from the outside. Am I wrong in thinking this.

Couldn't agree more, chunky. Maybe the guy thinks he is better than he actually is. He was acrock last season, but as they say, you are only as good as your last game. Hope he does sign though as it shows he cares for the club and is committed to the cause.

We have picked up plenty of Bosmans over the years leading to other clubs getting nothing. What's the difference with Goldson leaving for nothing? We got Kamara for 50k because he wouldn't sign a new contract with Dundee costing them plenty. I'm sure Salaka's club would've loved him to sign a new contract to get millions but he chose not to. Swings in roundabouts imo.

Unlike your Gerrard / Clarke post sweep I totally agree with you on this one. We’ve benefited hugely from the Bosman ruling of late. If Goldson has the same performance levels as last season and we win the league then the champions league money will be more beneficial than the money for selling him. I don’t think he is replaceable within our current squad. We know have 12 month to identify a replace within our budget / model.

I agree with sweep and dado. The champions league money is worth more to the club than the few million goldson would bring us. I also think we have already identified the replacement for goldson and should we get him he will be a bosman. I have been told the player Gerrard wants is the lad from Holland. His contract is up at the end of the season. Goldson I think will end up at a bottom half EPL club and will regret leaving a winning Rangers team.

Sweep I never thought about it that way 👏.

Clearly we’re not going to improve terms of the deal offered. So either he agrees to sign or he leaves in the summer. If it’s the latter I think a replacement will be signed in January. Will be interesting to see if the current offer is withdrawn at some point.

Fare point sweep, can't have it all our own way.

The only catch to Sweep's argument is we saved Goldson's career when no one else would touch him. We saved, in many ways, his life - maybe there's a touch of loyalty owed by him. Otherwise I agree with Sweep's sentiments. It's like that loser Darren McGregor - a nowhere Cowdenbeath journeyman and Ally gives him the break of his career in his late 20s. So when he gets his dream Hibs move? No mention of Rangers, no thanks to our club, and then even trying to maim us personally when he played us. Some grace and gratitude goes a long way.

Agree with most on here - unfortunately it's the reality of the game. However, from an optics perspective I would like to see someone else occupy the vice captain role - particularly if like some have said, the contract has been on the table and unsigned for several months now. Of he doesn't see his future here then he shouldn't have the honour of wearing the arm band and leading the team.

Got to be honest I didn't want to go for nothing. But as others have said if he goes on a free and replace with a free. Then it's win win. Don't think champions league cash matters. Would also think they have same thinking with Arfield and Tav.

Goldson wasnt particularly loyal to his previous club when he came to us after they had supported him through his heart problems.

Rfc rb when we signed goldston we were one of four clubs who made offers for him. It could be argued we saved his career we certainly did not safe his life. That was down to his cardiologist
Also Gerrard is on record as saying goldston plays, if he signs great if not what will be will be.

John, that was metaphorical - football is his life. As for the other three clubs, news to me. May I ask who?

Cool RFC. I believe Brighton, Norwich us and one other

He says when we signed him in interview he had offers from three other teams in England.
