Can anyone in the Know tell me if the Angel Torres thing is true, I think it has truth to it personally but I’m interested to see if anyone that knows stuff has heard of this.
He’s a left footed Right Winger, which is an area of priority for Rangers just to end the likes of Scott Wright being there. Agent was reportedly in Glasgow. Supposedly wouldn’t cost that much. He’s been playing in Australia and has scored some lovely goals with great technique. And we know big Phil likes a columbian. If this is true I think we will keep Oscar Cortes. Heard that before his injury he was really impressing ththe manager and the whole squad behind the scenes.
Oscar was playing on the left this Angel Torres plays on the right. A Columbian each side. It would be really interesting. Anyway I’m just bringing you some twitter rumour that I’ve seen a few times. Feel free to shoot it down as it’s not mine anyway. Just wanted to find out if anyone else has heard anything more concarête. It does sound plausible if his agent was in Glasgow tho. Although I think the agent in question has quite a few players on his books.

Mr rangers not heard that name.
2.) 10 Apr 2024 19:44:12
Plays down under 13 goals 3 assist in 22 that's all I know about the guy, btw had to look, never heard of him Mr R.
10 Aug 2023 07:20:29
Apparently the interest in the other Soutar brother is real, loan but nearer the end of the transfer window.
Beale is interested despite what he said last night because there’s loads of competition for his services. Leicester bought him for 15 million but must be considering loaning him as weird as that sounds.
My only issue is with him who’s position does he take his own brothers? I don’t know what side of CB he plays! I was impressed with John last night. Harry is bigger tho @ 6 foot 6 his a big dude.
I watched him in the last World Cup, has a great ball on him and he’s a better player than his brother in general.
Weather we get him is another question, real competition for him, but the interest is real and was recently pictured in a Rangers top, I know that means nothing but this is one to keep your eye on.
1.) 10 Aug 2023 08:02:55
I'm sure he's a right footer so it would imagine he prefers the right side.
2.) 10 Aug 2023 08:55:46
Would really like this to be true. Don’t count out a 3 at the back if he was brought in. Everyone is getting attached to needing a left footed CB. We don’t exactly need a left footer. More just a CB who is good enough to enhance our first 11.
3.) 10 Aug 2023 09:39:57
I've watched them both since they were boys.
We already have the better brother, both defensively and on the ball. Always has been.
If John hadn't had his injury issues, he'd be playing at a top end EPL team in my opinion.
We see it in flashes from him (like the second goal last night and the Scotland playoff game a few years back), the question mark is always going to be around his fitness.
If his Injury problems are resolved as we're being told, then he is the better CB of the two. IMO he's the best CB we have, when fully fit.
That said, I would take Harry. He's a good player and would be a good addition for us. Knows the league.
I just wanted to give my view on the brothers having seen them coming up.
4.) 10 Aug 2023 10:05:07
I would quite this one, I was impressed with at the World Cup for Australia, this one definitely has legs this rumour. He was bought for 15 million rising to 20 million in add one, I don’t think Leicester fancy him.
There’s going to be people here that will say he was bought for 15-20 mil, therefore we won’t get him- that’s rubbish, Simply because he wasn’t bought this summer, he was bought in January. So Leicester have had time to look at him.
And I’ve just found out that the most likely reason Beale dismissed it, is because of the competition, one of which is Celtic. Although I don’t think they would have liked him getting pictured in Rangers top recently- but he could still end up there. There was a few noises about this at Ibrox last night.
But I’ve spoken to someone in the last hour giving me more information.
But if it’s to happen will be nearer the end of the transfer window as I said in original post. This is the first real rumour I’ve bought to this page- normally I just comment on stuff because people get slaughtered, but I’ll go for it.
Creswell is getting mentioned but I don’t know to much about that. I don’t just hear a name and put it on here, I hear the name and go ask questions.
And lol no I’m not @jester in disguise, I’ve been posting longer than he did. And I’m sure Ed would call me out on it. That was funny as f- I wonder if his beemers left his face yet. Too Funny ?
Have a good day everyone!
5.) 10 Aug 2023 10:09:52
Beale has confirmed that this is lazy journalism, with two and two being put together in the fact his brother plays for us and he follows the team on social media.
6.) 10 Aug 2023 10:37:43
He's not getting a game at Leicester, on bench at week end then not involved at all last night. May be injured but I don't think so .
7.) 10 Aug 2023 10:59:29
Harry just missed the whole of the 21/ 22 season with a knee injury, also picks up knocks a lot, he's a good player, good at passing out from the back and an aerial threat at set plays. he's a bit of an injury risk probably a risk worth taking, also should fit right into the squad with his brother being here.
8.) 10 Aug 2023 12:10:21
Home grown for European squad also.
9.) 10 Aug 2023 12:23:39
I’ve asked the question if this is a goer lads, just waiting on a reply, text and ex work colleague who is Harry’s girlfriends step father, he should hopefully know if this is a goes, I know harry and his girlfriend have just recently moved from stoke to Leicester, just wonder if they would move back up the road? soon as I find out I’ll post ?.
10.) 10 Aug 2023 12:42:14
If we also get Soapy Soutar that's the back 3 sorted, this isn't a rumour and I apologise for it.
11.) 10 Aug 2023 14:15:31
Leicester new manager said he wanted his Defenders to be comfortable on the ball and play from the back.
Only reason I can see why they are opting to let him go after he's just signed. Rodgers also didn't play him much.
We have the better Brother anyway.
12.) 10 Aug 2023 14:46:25
If you listen to what Beale actually said tho, he didn’t deny it either.
13.) 10 Aug 2023 17:26:53
I doubt it but!
Goldson will be on a downward spiral injury wise as he gets older and he was never quickest or great defending in air either
Might be time to start looking to future.
14.) 10 Aug 2023 18:59:25
What does the "weather" have to do with Harry signing? .
15.) 10 Aug 2023 20:03:29
Defraz I'm no falling for that, I sussed it the last time, just the same gobby nonsense.
29 Jul 2023 21:24:22
Cifuentes travelling next week after waiting on visa, medical still to be done say MB, but looking forward to seeing the guy as it feels like we’ve been linked for a while. Just happy to have a look at him as I’ve only seen highlights as I don’t watch MLS, good to have him on board.
1.) 29 Jul 2023 22:12:57
Hopefully this is the signing that will bring a bit of power and pace to our midfield.
He's past our best, but we still look a far better side anytime Jack is on the field - so desperately need someone who can take over his role and improve it.
2.) 29 Jul 2023 22:46:20
John ; is your info still that there is one more major signing after Cifuentes.
3.) 30 Jul 2023 01:28:24
He's definitely signing but 1d been booked for this guy for a long time if my sources are correct.
4.) 30 jul 2023 05:02:46
i would love to know how all these middle type players get to play, i hope we aren't going down the road of pushing midfielders into wingers.
5.) 30 Jul 2023 07:12:13
Yes twacoos. Mb two.
6.) 30 Jul 2023 08:16:58
Did we not overstock on midfielders in Gerrard time too.
7.) 30 Jul 2023 09:09:21
All these signings and lundstrum playing ch joke Beal will be lucky if he lasts till Christmas.
8.) 30 Jul 2023 09:20:32
He likes Lundstram so did Gerrard and I can't figure it out, Sheffield Utd fans don't appear to either .
9.) 30 Jul 2023 09:38:38
Beale won’t last Xmas going if what exactly a friendly.
10.) 30 Jul 2023 09:50:42
Harthill again something I said last year and took stick for it.
Every time last season just when people would begin to realise he would pop up with a goal so people ignored it.
For me lundstrum could learn from cantwells attitude.
11.) 30 Jul 2023 10:14:15
John have you had any info about us going for a wide player.
I heard a number of weeks ago we were looking but not heard anything since.
Lammers looks like he is more of a Tillman replacement.
Probably could only happen now unless we shift a few.
Was also told expect Tav to play further forward, have you heard anything on that as well.
12.) 30 Jul 2023 11:32:25
True blue we aren’t going to play with wingers mate it looks like 2 strikers and lammers behind.
If we play the 3 with a 10 the 2 ‘wide’ players will be inverted wingers or false 10s whichever u prefer to call them. Ie dowell cantwell lammers Hagi.
Sima prob the closest to a winger we will see this year.
13.) 30 Jul 2023 14:59:18
John hopefully a LCB and LB.
14.) 30 Jul 2023 15:05:44
Trueblue again something I've been saying about Tav for a while.
15.) 30 Jul 2023 15:10:19
Stevie I think your right and I do think that will suit Scottish teams that we sit on top of but we need some pace for Europe or games Vs Celtic or we will be in real trouble sima is definitely not a wide player and I fear like others we are asking midfielders with no pace to play these roles that they drift wide which is kinda useless and gives opposition time to get back in numbers
Dessers although early has looked very slow and not as mobile as colak which worries me.
It's early and he could end up being a totally different player to what he's showed so far once he gets to know the squad ?
I would have no problem going with lammers up front looks the part so far.
16.) 30 Jul 2023 16:12:22
Gofor Lundstram is what he is a lower English championship or slightly lower down, he is not what we need and far from it but it appears the manager doesn't agree .
17.) 30 Jul 2023 20:41:15
Tamf At least spell the managers name right when slaughtering him.
18.) 30 Jul 2023 22:25:10
Gofor I think we should always have a packet widcard in the team. I thought that’s what sima was going to be but by all accounts hasn’t shown up well yet.
Sakala gives us that option.
If we do sell the rest of the players we want out and get rid of Matondo and sakala we should try and get a pacey player in I do agree. It’s a pity we need money for players and sakala seems to be the easiest way of getting that atm.
19.) 31 Jul 2023 01:15:01
I think there will be more than 2,if you listen to Beale he’s basically saying that if anyone goes, he’s going to replace them ie if Matondo Sakala lundstrum kamara leave, lots more players coming and going methinks.
26 Jul 2023 10:18:22
Does anyone know exactly when Danilo is due in Glasgow to do the medical and sign his 5 year deal?
I’ve read next Monday, I’ve read today and I’ve read in the coming days! Just wondering which is it?
If it was today then that would be good because he could be paraded in front of the fans for the Olympiakos game.
1.) 26 Jul 2023 10:50:04
He’s definitely not in Feynoord so today I think.
2.) 26 Jul 2023 12:38:35
Apparently said his farewells and will be here by Friday can see it being another late announcement like Dessers was and supposedly Cifuentes is being paraded at HT tonight.
3.) 26 Jul 2023 14:49:15
If Cifuentes is paraded at half time tonight I will start believing that you are not a big Jester.
4.) 26 Jul 2023 15:48:18
What can i say mate I'm a funny guy ?
Seriously though just what I hear don't shoot the messenger.
5.) 26 Jul 2023 15:54:57
He definitely was with Feyenoord today. Saying goodbye to the players. He's going to miss Igor. Both like brothers to each other.
21 Jul 2023 11:52:46
I’ve come back to make an apology to everyone I was misinformed by my source on purpose probably because he knew I would come to a rumours page and Facebook and tell everyone (which I did)
Danilo will be a Rangers player and the club are confident of getting the deal done within the coming days. Danilo and cantwell will be doing the samba after all. Have a good weekend everyone.
1.) 21 Jul 2023 12:15:16
Mr rangers no need to opologise, these things happen.
2.) 21 Jul 2023 12:33:56
Cheers for coming on but imo no need to apologise. You only passed on what you were told.
3.) 21 Jul 2023 12:49:22
Mate, you posted what you had heard, and done absolutely nothing wrong. The only posters who should grief are the ones that post made up pi#h like Willow Flood standing at the corner with his Rangers training kit on (c-bear), and a few others who are quite obvious at the wind up.
4.) 21 Jul 2023 13:06:21
No apologies needed mate you only told us what you heard.
5.) 21 Jul 2023 13:29:22
Thanks for letting us know what you hear mrrangers.
6.) 21 Jul 2023 13:57:05
Damn you! Get on your knees and repent you should pay for your lack of vision with your head.
?.
7.) 21 Jul 2023 15:03:37
MrRangers, I assume your girlfriend's dad doesn't like you? Or was it a dad joke he was playing on you?

All I’m hoping for today is we get good news about Oscar Cortes injury. The guys got levels to go up, and has played nearly every game since getting in. The replacements if he’s out are dire. Surely for once we’re due some luck but I’m not holding my breath.
1.) 01 Mar 2024 10:37:07
I wouldn't hold my breath either mate, as it looked like cortes had done his hamstring unfortunately ?.
2.) 01 Mar 2024 10:51:32
Cortes looks decent and agree def more to come. But to tout him up like that and then call the rest dire is poor IMO. Sounded like we’ve got messi missing and replacement is Fraser Aird.
3.) 01 Mar 2024 11:20:40
Didn't look good tbh. Hoping for the best though not expecting much.
4.) 01 Mar 2024 12:02:52
Its time for sterling to be starting on the right in most games. McCausland is left footed he can cover cortes or silva, he is ineffective starting games up top. Sima return would be great.
5.) 01 Mar 2024 13:10:22
I've been seeing on other forums that Cortes is out for a few weeks unfortunately - plastic pitches should be banned in the Premier league.
6.) 01 Mar 2024 13:13:53
I thought the manager said that Cortes had hurt his side . As for McCausland he is right footed, still no reason he can`t play on the left, cutting in onto his right foot he did it for the B team and Sima, Matondo and Cortes all do that from the left.
7.) 01 Mar 2024 13:14:31
Hardly made out Cortes was Messi Sollof do u have problem's reading? And how’s it poor saying the rest of the options out there are dire?, Then who’s good? Who’s on form and who’s fit! Wright is poor, young Ross still is not quite there yet but under PC probably will but not overnight, Matondo injured. It’s a opinion Sollof it’s not meant for your seal of approval ???.
8.) 01 Mar 2024 14:15:03
Yeah struth as no player has ever done their hammy and on a grass pitch ?♂️.
9.) 01 Mar 2024 15:23:48
McCausland is right footed, mate.
10.) 01 Mar 2024 16:16:30
Is there actually any evidence that plastic pitches are worse for injuries?
Of course it would be great if all teams had grass but we need to stop making a big deal out of this.
Most teams train on plastic and most youth players have played on it more than they have on grass.
I’ve also heard lots of pros say that they prefer it as they recover much faster because it isn’t as heavy.
I’d rather a smooth plastic pitch than the mess at St Johnston.
11.) 01 Mar 2024 17:55:33
A good quality astro maybe but not Killies.
12.) 01 Mar 2024 21:34:18
Well struth if Livi go down this season, then we only need to put up with the Killie pitch next season and then the premiership will be all grass from 25/ 26 (unless someone else goes up or I'm missing someone) as Killie are ripping up that astro and replacing with grass for the 25/ 26 season and not before time.
13.) 01 Mar 2024 22:26:02
R with not plastic.
22 Feb 2024 15:52:53
Sima has been back at training, maybe doing his rehab but even if he’s doing that it’s still good. I’ve got a feeling he’ll be back in the not to distant future. Incredibly fit and athletic lad they normally heal quickly.
And when that happens I’d like seeing a front 3 of sima left Cotes right Silva as the 9 or false 9, plenty of pace, running power and trickery. Matondo for Cortes in the European games as Cortes isn’t registered. Although Matondo plays normally on the left- he was actually bought as a right winger and played in Belgium out on that side.
1.) 22 Feb 2024 17:24:23
It will be great to have Sima back, although we haven't missed him as much as I thought we would.
2.) 22 Feb 2024 17:39:55
Fingers crossed sima can return would be a massive boost for tail end of the season, crazy to say this but still feel roofe can be an asset if we can get him back the guy has had the worst injury problems of just about anyone i can remember but the number of vital goals he's bagged is something that could make the difference in the chase for the title.
3.) 22 Feb 2024 18:17:11
MrRangers, where is he doing his training?
4.) 22 Feb 2024 18:39:34
Matondo over RM? It’ll just no happen.
5.) 22 Feb 2024 19:10:51
Is danilo back in training aswell.
6.) 22 Feb 2024 19:32:39
King light exercise, not running yet.
7.) 22 Feb 2024 19:54:35
I doubt we'll see much of Danilo this season.
8.) 22 Feb 2024 21:26:05
Sima back soon would be a massive boost.
9.) 22 Feb 2024 21:38:40
Would be amazing to get him back.
31 Jan 2024 19:46:05
I’m on annual leave so I got bored, and decided to look at Shankland, just to see if I could be convinced he would be as good as some people- not all, think he would be.
lol I’m even more convinced it would be a bad buy and end up on the bench after a while, his game outside the box is not even close to Rangers standard, hence not 1 assist this season. He’s a Hearts player and that’s his level. Or down south someplace. We need a different striker to that as we compete in Europe. Not for me at 28.
31 Jan 2024 12:52:40
Read in an article that Oscar Cortes is in Glasgow completing his medical, don’t know if true but it’s something I read on Rangers News Now and on twitter by a Spanish speaking dude.
31 Jan 2024 09:10:46
The cortes and the other player the left back forget his name- the awol guy lol ?
We’re are these 2 players? Everything seems to have gone quiet on this, I was genuinely hoping we could get these players signed quickly as possible. So we could focus on a 9
And I’d try again for Mitchy Bat, never starts for Fendrbache but always scores, guys a goal machine and genuine quality that could help us in Europe. And I don’t think it’s a huge gamble because he’s got a lot to prove to get in the Belgian ?? squad for Euros. I know his wages are high but it’s for 5 months and to me it makes sense. I wouldn’t even want the guy if it wasnt for the fact we’re in a real good position in the league and last 16 in Europe.
Anyway are those 2 Cortes and the awol Brazilian still coming and when they signing anyone know? . Getting inpatient now because I wanted the last day to focus on a 9.
Starting to think we’re not going to get a 9.
1.) 31 Jan 2024 11:16:01
Last day isn't today, it's tomorrow.
2.) 31 Jan 2024 11:19:19
Agree mate pay the 60k pw til end of season and be thankful for it.
He’s top drawer.
Rather denkey but we may not have the money or will require.
3.) 31 Jan 2024 15:11:02
We will sign another striker ????????.
27 Apr 2024 10:14:01
Hope we can buy Cortes with the money if true, I think he’s a different player to what we have, we need to spend all over the park which I’m sure people have pointed out and it’s true, 4.3 of that must be already spent on Diomande because that came out the summer budget, so then just over £20 million, I wonder if that would go up if we somehow managed to get the CL.
Like I said the whole of the park will need investment in. I think the majority of any money will get spent in the wings and striker area- just because normally forwards cost more than other position. If we are smart with it get some back to middle players on free’s Jefte for example. That Nils guy likes players from South America I can see a few of them coming.
The CL isn’t beyond us if we recruit well before starting the qualifiers if say worst case scenario we finished second. We were really unlucky to get PSV 2 years running and this years PSV were really good. There were other teams we could have got and maybe get this year who won’t be as hard, all about having a good pre season and good recruitment before hand. By the sounds of Sima and his agent it sounds like he wants to stay, if we can find the money or package to bring him I think we will do that, but out of the players that are end of contract and end of loan it’s only Cortes and Sima I want to stay, which is not saying a lot. And there’s players even on contracts that need to go Scott Wright, Lammers, Davies ect although I think PC will look over Hagi before selling him. He’s never seen him so he can’t just punt him without looking but eventually I do think he will sell him. Interesting tho.
01 Feb 2024 18:19:41
I’ll be raging with no striker, it was obvious from the very start of the window, if we don’t win the league people will point to this moment. Cotes should have been announced yesterday I think they held back to soften the blow, but it won’t for me. I hope I’m wrong but what’s the chances at 18:20 and heard nothing.
01 Feb 2024 11:19:42
Well no get him that cheap, I don’t think there will be a striker now- massive let down as number 9 was priority all season. It will be Cortes today and that’s it. Unless the unexpected happens.
31 Jan 2024 13:56:16
I don’t see that anywhere Fraser? Really hope that’s fake! No time to replace him, plus he’s the leader and the real captain, huge loss and huge mistake, a title deciding mistake.
Please Rangers do not sell Butland! I don’t want to see anymore articles about this. Chris Jack said Rangers gave a firm no to Nottingham Forest.
31 Jan 2024 09:29:18
If he’s from the MLS nah no thanks because he’ll take ages to get up to speed, in Scotland we play at a different tempo, that’s what cifuentes found out. There game is too different and we haven’t got 6 months to play with here, we need a guy that’s going to hit the ground running.
Mitchy Bat was the one I wanted but I’m sick of banging on about him. What I don’t understand is the people who want Shankland seem to think he’s going to come in and hit the ground running. I don’t think it’s as simple as that. He wouldn’t be playing for a wee team anymore! And there would be huge amount of pressure on him, something he hasn’t felt before. And I don’t think he is good enough for Europe. 28 and if we spend 5 million on him hypothetically it’s bad business. I’d prefer us to re assess in the summer and just get someone in for now. I honestly think within a transfer window or 2 Shankland becomes a bench player. He won’t start ahead of Danilo when he’s back. Danilo is far better he’s just no had the chance to show it. Danilo will be a great player for Rangers, especially if we bring in some South American pals.
05 Apr 2024 21:36:36
No, but you’d think Clement might have mentioned it in his presser had it been an issus, he’s normally clear about who’s out and normally more cagey about who’s back in. If hypothetically he is injured I’ve got far in the back up goal keeper we have, not saying for a minute that he won’t be a major miss but I don’t think this game will be won by a goalkeeper, I think it will be down to our strikers taking their chances.
Although not convinced Butland is injured, well not yet anyway. I just hope our team doesn’t bottle it. And let Celtic run all over us- like the first game. Some of those players have let us down before and if BB starts I’m not confident tbh. I don’t think this will be a draw and one set of supporters are going to be feeling badly Sunday night. Can Dessers rise to the occasion?
01 Apr 2024 13:58:42
To me it is because if we can’t show we can beat them at home, considering we’ve lost the first 2, the phycological boost it will give them might just be to much to come back from. I just hope they go into this game thinking that we’ve worked so hard to get to this point, we cannot let this slip. I actually think if we can win this game plus our game in hand, they’ll drop more and the gap will only get bigger. We need to play our strongest possible team. If Sima isn’t match fit enough to play 90 minutes then I’d give Matondo 45 and Sima 45 in the LW. I’d play Silva RW as I know he played a few games for PSV there. And to take control of the midfield I’d play Sterling in midfield, instead of Diomande. These are just my thoughts- I’m probably miles off. Ridvan would be a massive boost.
Even the thought of loosing this game doesn’t bare thinking about! I think they’ll try and cut us open. I think they will score as we’ve been loosing really poor goals against lesser sides, I just hope they don’t score first because that’s when the crowd can work against you. I just hope nothing controversial happens, if we get beat then I just hope it’s because they were better on the day rather than a decision. And same if we win- or we won’t hear the end of it. Time for us to stop being unlucky losers and grab the game take our chances. Play confidently and aggressively without being reckless. This game will tell me a lot about our title challenge and some of these players. No cheap goals please. This feels like the biggest old firm game in years. Just hope we don’t blow it. I will be a bag of nerves walking into that stadium. I think we will win 3-2. It absolutely is a must win for me anyway.

Maybe just this once we could be a little more lucky with injuries and it’s not that bad, all we can do is hope it’s not serious and he plays against them. When I read the news I did start to think to myself surely these injuries are going to cost us during the league run in.
We can’t play BB - because he’s looking at offers from new clubs, so getting 110% from him that day. Most likely wouldn’t happen.
lol maybe wee Ridvan thought to take a knee, to make sure he’s available for us. It wouldn’t be the first international player to do that ? seriously tho he is a lot better than the other left back Turkey have. So if hypothetically he did do something like that- it won’t cost him his place. Maybe a wee plan him and Big Phil hatched out before he went. I’m just kidding of course and I’m just more glad it’s not a serious one. Having if the current injury problems are true then it changes our whole left flank having Ridvan and Sima. Although I would be amazed if Sima started after being out this long!
Funny enough I was watching an old season review from the nineties and injuries nearly cost us at points in a couple of those seasons but Walter being the great man he is still managed to pull through. It reminds you quite clearly of our current injury crisis. Exept some of those injured players were Gazza, McCoist, Laudrup ect bit of a different In quality but still the same issues. PC is really coy about when players are back which I actually like because one of these days a player we never expected to see will be ready to play, which gives opponents no idea of what team we’re putting out and how to fight it.

OneWalterSmith, I don’t know if I’m reading your post wrong but winning the Europa League, Guarantees entry into the CL- even if we win the league or not. And placed in pot one avoiding harder teams- although if we are being honest they are all hard. So because winning the Europa guarantees the CL money anyway I’d pick Europa, but actually OneWalterSmith I’d agree with everything else you said regarding rebuild. I think that’s why I am so nervous because I know what CL money with a decent bit of cash, not obviously it all but a nice piece could do in a manager and scout like Big Phil’s and the nil’s recruitment guy- we need to make sure we are getting CL money one way or another.
All these injuries are just the last thing we need, like seeing young Cole coming on but not in these circumstances although he needs to take his chance however it came about! I’m looking at it like this we have 180 minutes of football Benfica and Dundee- 2 wins no more daft injuries, get to international break and hopefully we’ll see Sima, Cantwell back in the side. lol ? I’m still raging about Cortes, I really liked what I saw from him and thought we were on to a winner. Now I’m not sure he will play for us again. I’d still buy him depending on what big Phil seen behind the scenes in training. If we somehow managed to keep Sima and Cortes because of the CL that would be something, lol ? I know I’m dreaming about the Sima and Cortes part but u never know the CL is a big draw, let’s do whatever it takes to get there.

Kinda new Celtic would get beat, when people heard that Hearts had beat them was anyone truly surprised? Celtic fans were laughing way to much almost like the forgot they were going to Tynecastle and that Celtic really are not that good. A good team doesn’t let a team that was 8 points behind back in a title race- not just let them back in overtake them by 2 points.
Saturday to me feels like a missed opportunity, but give credit to Motherwell I thought they deserved it, the way they defended and made us look ordinary for long parts. When I seen the starting line up I did have fears or maybe it was reality hitting about our injury situation. I couldn’t help but think Dessers, McCausland and Sterling looked a bit blunt upfront. No offence to any of the 3 players because they all have their part to play and have the own qualities, especially as I don’t really see Sterling as a RW, good player tho.
McCausland still learning his trade.
We’re without some really important players and Saturday I thought it showed. Should we still be beating Motherwell yeah probably- we’re so down to the bare bones in the wide areas.
Thing that cheered me up about the situation was although big Sima isn’t fit yet he was desperate to try and get on the plane to Lisbon. Has the right attitude and Sima coming back is huge.
Well done to Motherwell though great game plan and deserved it, being a poor looser is sad! And the conspiracy theories- genuinely make them sound nuts. Like they need help. If memory serves me right it was them who started it by counting our penalties and complaining about them- casually forgetting at the time they had more. Now it’s refs and VAR, and if Rangers fans are doing it to now- please don’t.
