Turkish media claiming lundstrams wage demands are to high of 2m per season,
I really hope we aren't going to offer him 3* years at 33-37k a week.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 12:32:43
I'm reading a deal close for lunny and Ipswich.
2.) 19 Apr 2024 12:42:08
That would be reckless and mental for a player that has failed to deliver as much as the rest in his his time at Rangers.
He performed in the run to Seville.
He performed under Clement to begin with.
The rest of the time? A let down.
3.) 19 Apr 2024 12:42:50
Let’s hope so but I don’t trust the Turkish media.
4.) 19 Apr 2024 12:56:53
Just seen that too OWS.
5.) 19 Apr 2024 13:04:06
All very interesting, imo
Unlikely to go to Turkey
I’m told issue is PC and rangers have told certain players their contract won’t be renewed.
Others under contract have been advised that PC does not see them as part of next seasons plans, many have been involved in match day squads.
Players were told in March.
6.) 19 Apr 2024 13:11:13
John could that decision to inform players in march rather than wait till seasons end prove to be wrong, is that reasons for form dropping off.
7.) 19 Apr 2024 13:11:28
Could explain the sudden drop off in performances John.
8.) 19 Apr 2024 13:17:12
Doesn't say he's going to turkey.
Id also find it possible but highly unlikely players were told they wouldn't be here next season when they were in the midst of a treble push.
9.) 19 Apr 2024 13:19:42
John you heard the offer we gave lundstram was half his current wage? Wonder if it will be taken off the table after recent events and performances.
10.) 19 Apr 2024 13:21:56
John27, timing if true might explain performances last month or so.
Was that wise? At that stage of the season?
11.) 19 Apr 2024 13:34:45
Wish at no Tim have I said lundstrum was offered half of current wages, I said he wanted three years with signing on fee, rangers were prepared to offer two years, my understanding is offer no longer on table
Bar I feel very unwise, however pc believed it was being fair to players, naive
Tjn certain players have been told defo.
12.) 19 Apr 2024 13:52:29
I was asking you if you heard that mate not saying you said it.
13.) 19 Apr 2024 13:59:03
Hopefully he leaves at end of season.
14.) 19 Apr 2024 14:05:10
He is welcome to over 30k per week - as long as its not at Ibrox?.
15.) 19 Apr 2024 14:47:29
The way forward is bringing in young players to sell on in future, Clemont has already said this although a think Lundstrum had a chance to stay with his performances but that looks gone now, the question is did we pull the contract offered or did he get the offer from somewhere else first, could t care less now am more interested in if he is going to try in the remaining weeks.
16.) 19 Apr 2024 14:48:41
30k at rangers should be reserved for special players. Lundstram is no more than a 15k a week player imo. Even at his peak he was important but he is limited. In no way should we be thst generous to players for underachieving.
17.) 19 Apr 2024 15:37:53
On that point about telling the players he doesn’t want going forward- do you think that’s why the underperformers haven’t been dropped because they are part of the plans and the rest aren’t? Maybe Raskin, Balogun etc. have been told they’re not in plans so that’s why he’s not playing them.
18.) 19 Apr 2024 16:13:26
Sorry wushu just way u wrote it mate. See my response but answer is I’ve not heard that.
19.) 19 Apr 2024 16:59:32
No player at ibrox right now is worth 30k well maybe Butland but that’s it.
20.) 19 Apr 2024 17:46:43
That was be a crazy decision if players told in March.
21.) 19 Apr 2024 20:31:31
Sorry if players can’t stay professional or even attempt to change managers mind or even respect he’s given them more time to sort a future for themselves then I don’t want them at rangers
I was one of lundstrums biggest critics and then one of his biggest fans under Clement credit where it’s due but the massive drop off suggests he has in fact put tools away also players reverting to sidewards football instead of direct quick attacks reminds me of what happened with gio when he first came in pushed two wide men up pitch and tried fast counter worked for a while then players seemed to just stop and revert back to old ways of playing.
Tells you there is a problem in the squad for me it’s time to shake things up and Clement should get our backing people need to remember these players are not his doing.
Give him a proper transfer window and a pre season.
22.) 20 Apr 2024 09:01:35
The decision to tell players they're not wanted looks like it has cost us the title. school boy error telling players before the season ends.
23.) 20 Apr 2024 12:49:27
I suspect that Lundstrum decided a while back that he would move on unless we gave him a hefty signing on fee and a lengthy contract. There also appears to be interest from the top end of the English Championship.
He is a mercenary and we know from his time at Sheffield United that he downs tools when he knows that he is moving on.
Having someone like him in the team has a negative effect on the other players.
I wouldn't have him at the Club.
24.) 21 Apr 2024 10:57:54
I don't believe that a manager needs to tell a player that they are not part of his plans, most players will know this.
If you are at the end of your contract and you haven't had conversations about a new deal or, like Roofe and Jack, you have been struggling for fitness, then you know that it is unlikely that you will be given a new contract.
They are not the problem.
Equally, we have a number of players that are out injured or have been out injured and that are only returning to full fitness. They can't be blamed.
It all comes back to the poor acquisitions over a period of years, basically from the day that Wilson was appointed and then Park came in.
We keep hearing about last season's flops being down to Beale, how many of those players were identified by Wilson, Park and the assortment of poor scouts that we had at the Club.
I suspect that some of those acquisitions, as we are seeing with Lammers, are decent quality, but just not suited to the rigours of Scottish Football. The other problem is that Wilson sold good quality players, for big money, but we never replaced them.
25.) 22 Apr 2024 17:17:18
Our recruitment simply hasn't been good enough.
24 Aug 2023 16:47:41
My cousin whose a season ticket holder at Patrick thistle and works part time for them says Patrick and a few other championship clubs are pushing to get Lovelace on loan before the end of the window,
just wondering if anyone had info to back this up?
1.) 24 Aug 2023 17:57:02
Burt more than a dozen enquiries for Lovelace and rice.
2.) 24 Aug 2023 18:10:33
Rice and Lovelace have huge potential and a loan for a year would be good for both.
3.) 24 Aug 2023 18:21:18
I thought that John27 from previous posts that I've seen.
The only difference with this one was if a loan move to partick was actually a realistic thing to happen this window. My cousin said there is people within partick that really want to make it happen.
4.) 24 Aug 2023 18:40:55
We will see significant movement in academy players, remember window for these moves is not closed next week.
5.) 24 Aug 2023 19:06:39
Loans? the Gorgie crabbit faces won't start Lowry so why is he there? He needs games so what is the point of sending him to that mob?
6.) 24 Aug 2023 20:04:35
Lowry started and got 3 assists the other for hearts al garve.
7.) 24 Aug 2023 20:04:35
Think Lowry started at the weekend and played a good chunk of the game?
8.) 24 Aug 2023 20:15:09
Partick thistle would be a good move for zak lovelace on loan imo ?It would be a good club for bailey rice to go out on loan to also ?.
9.) 24 Aug 2023 20:16:21
John is there any enquiries from premiership teams in our other academy players?
10.) 24 Aug 2023 20:25:33
I'd be loaning Lovelace and rice to teams in our league definitely good enough for many clubs.
11.) 24 Aug 2023 20:28:24
Burt, my info yefeko, McKinnon, Mccrorie Devine king.
12.) 24 Aug 2023 20:52:03
Al Garve, Lowry has started most of Hearts game other than the European games. He’s been playing in all domestic games. If that continues and he ends up playing 40 odd games this season (and hopefully does well and keeps improving his overall game) it’ll only be of benefit to us.
13.) 24 Aug 2023 21:26:48
Lowry didn't start tonight and didn't in either Rosenborg game normally you would request a loan if you actually intended using the player, they pumped their gums about how so very pleased they were to get him and the boy is going to get piles sitting on the bench, he should be at a club as a first team starter no sitting watching that mince. McKay started tonight and he's playing like he's concussed and boots on the wrong feet.
14.) 24 Aug 2023 21:36:02
Yep eventually they noticed McKay was useless and put Lowry on, great news aye.
15.) 24 Aug 2023 21:47:55
Beale problem at this stage of their development won’t get enough minutes, six months in championship then review.
16.) 24 Aug 2023 22:38:31
Beale only problem there is you then lose time for Lovelace that he's been within the Scottish League structure and could go against the long term goal as a domestic trained player.
17.) 24 Aug 2023 22:41:18
And same will go for rice if he leaves Scottish setup.
18.) 24 Aug 2023 22:42:55
I still feel the goal with youth team is keep them three year between domestic trained development ages then let them go for small fee and then bring them back later if they have developed enough elsewhere.
This will be why we are putting buy back options in most of youths that move on.
19.) 24 Aug 2023 22:43:39
I would stay well clear of thistle though didn't exactly do much for the Colombian boy confidence.
20.) 24 Aug 2023 22:54:40
Probably correct John but probably better than players played by others clubs.
21.) 24 Aug 2023 23:07:25
John, totally agree, these lads need to be playing regularly.
22.) 25 Aug 2023 00:50:34
In my mind, at 16 and 17, it's too early to be sending Rice and Lovelace out on loan. I think they'd be better served training with the first team and being in and around the club. I honestly don't see a season playing with lower league players as being the best use of their time at this stage.
23.) 25 Aug 2023 01:05:01
I’d keep rice and loan the rest although maybe hang onto Devine til we see what happens with fullbacks before the window closes.
24.) 25 Aug 2023 09:26:05
Jimbo if guys go on loan to teams especially partime they still go to auchenhowie to train.

A little bit of help guys, I've been looking to find some videos of the celebrations after at the st mirren game at Ibrox that basically won us 55, there was a lot on hallidays discord server but can't access that anymore, if anyone knows anywhere that has lots of fan footage that would be a great help!
1.) 13 Mar 2024 00:22:16
Maybe get something on YouTube mate.
15 Dec 2023 11:21:59
Sima has 14 goals so far it's not even half way stage of the season.
Ryan Kent got 22 in his whole rangers career (according to wiki)
For someone that has as much ability as Kent should be scoring way more goals than he did.
1.) 15 Dec 2023 11:40:52
Ryan who?
2.) 15 Dec 2023 13:40:11
Some on here think sima still ain’t good enough and say he only scores the odd goal.
3.) 15 Dec 2023 14:24:02
Hopefully we can get Sima signed permanently.
4.) 15 Dec 2023 14:31:11
Kent scored 22 in the league while permanent and another 6 on loan. He scored 33 in all competitions while at Rangers. Still not good enough.
5.) 15 Dec 2023 14:32:11
Burt 33 goals, wiki only gives league goals.
06 Dec 2023 11:00:35
Why were the questions at the AGM so poor, a chance to get answers from the board but instead we got holiday homes in Seville and carbon footprint.
It's like a comedy show and not a funny one.
1.) 06 Dec 2023 12:23:16
Burt it’s like that at majority Of agm, it suits any company.
2.) 06 Dec 2023 12:46:09
Agm is a tick the box exercise.
3.) 06 Dec 2023 12:52:44
My mate was at the AGM he actually thinks these questions are asked by people put thre by the club.
4.) 06 Dec 2023 12:54:04
Surely our board after their recent statements would be willing to try and answer the difficult/ awkward questions? Or would they prefer to take easy way out? Seems like a farce tbh.
5.) 06 Dec 2023 13:02:34
They were shareholders questions, they are entitled to ask about things that they feel are important .
6.) 06 Dec 2023 16:02:54
Not if there hand picked beforehand and are only picked because there Easy questions.
7.) 06 Dec 2023 18:51:39
You’ve all missed a major point. I was there. Anyone who wanted to ask a question, could do so. No one was picked. Even when it started to over run, the last two guys were still heard. No conspiracy, just poor questions.
03 Sep 2023 14:10:51
Everyone will complain about the tactics and general play of course it was brutal.
The first goal in these games are so vital that's twice we have had goals chopped of for absolutely nothing.
The var shat it. The ref shat it.
What did he see in the Replay that he didn't see live.
1.) 03 Sep 2023 14:18:35
Everyone will be right to complain about tactics they were a complete and utter joke.
2.) 03 Sep 2023 14:23:40
That's got nothing to do with the fact that our players apart from a few are clearly not good enough.
The rebuild has collapsed.
3.) 03 Sep 2023 14:24:08
Its amazing to me how many of our fans don't understand the rules of the game. Take the blue tinted specs off, read the rules and confirm for yourself it was a foul. McFadden explained it perfectly at halftime and he's 100% right.
The referee also didn't make us dugmeat. If we're reliant on a referee making the wrong decision to win games against Celtic we're on a hiding to nothing.
No style of play, not addressed the defensive issues, brought in players of lesser quality than the ones we've let go, for more money and a manager who doesn't look like he knows what he's doing.
Beale is a used car salesman. We're going backwards, not forwards.
4.) 03 Sep 2023 14:25:00
Really I think the only thing var will tell you is that our manager is a donkey.
5.) 03 Sep 2023 14:36:27
Agree there Storm. Honestly think some of the players looked confused and lost.
31 Aug 2023 09:58:01
Last night was a shocker, I can accept being beat by a better team but battered no.
I only wanted champions league for the money but would have been hiding behind the couch watching the games. we are a mid Europa League level. Sunday is massive now.
27 Apr 2024 21:28:05
Transfer market has him down as loan to Galatasaray with obligation to buy, his Chelsea contract ends 2025.
26 Apr 2024 14:54:29
With certain players leaving are we not looking to move 100-130k of the wage bill, that doesn't include the rumoured sales of Tav and goldsons which if true add another 67k to that rough figure. I would hope those wages would be spent on younger hungrier players with sell on assets.
17 Apr 2024 08:37:37
John27 do you or anyone else know if the injury to Cortes has put doubt into the club singing him since they didn't get to see him as much as they would have liked to?
30 Jan 2024 18:35:06
20m to answer the phone.
Then start negotiating but personally couldn't imagine selling him.
27 Jan 2024 10:02:00
John227 I heard there was an attitude change from them towards playing in Scotland after they both got England youth call ups?
