Has anyone else on here heard that tennents are wanting to sponsor either a stand at ibrox or our rangers academy training centre ?I heard this from another bear last night and don't know if there's anything in it, thus why i'm putting it out to each on here ?Cheers guys ?.

Nope SWS not a thing, I mind there was chatter about stadium naming rights a while back, nothing on that either. Any investment income always welcome though.


2.) 06 Mar 2024 08:00:17
Some business model if true - alienate half your drinking population ?.


3.) 06 Mar 2024 08:14:37
Would be surprised in this small country of ours if a local business favoured one side or the other.
Not worth the hassle.
Might be wrong though.


4.) 06 Mar 2024 08:32:13
It's bouffing stuff anyway?, but we'll take their dough.


5.) 06 Mar 2024 09:01:00
Now now Forktongue, a lot of the more mature generation shall we say rate tennents lager and tbh it's a superb pint when you get it fresh poured during the tennents brewery tour ?A lot of the golf clubs and bowling clubs i find do a very good pint of tennents lager ?I think it all depends on the actual pub, to how good the pint of tennents is ? A good pint of it is lovely and hard to beat tbh ?.


6.) 06 Mar 2024 09:45:37
I like tennets prefer that to a lot of the pish from other countries.


7.) 06 Mar 2024 09:59:33
Does the T for Tennents remind you of any other symbols you may have seen? There may be a reason they want to favour one side over the other. ;)


8.) 06 Mar 2024 10:39:30
The lager is bogging imo.

Ellwood23! Eh?!


9.) 06 Mar 2024 10:43:36
No for me guys, kinda chemical aftertaste for my delicate palate, and I'm approaching the end of my 3rd score, and as you are aware I'm a sensitive soul???.


10.) 06 Mar 2024 11:22:34
Yes Ellwood partic if turned upside down.


11.) 06 Mar 2024 11:34:51
Tennants over that Madri panther p*ss any day of the week ?.


12.) 06 Mar 2024 12:43:21
Real men drink tennets ??



That’s is a joke obviously.


13.) 06 Mar 2024 13:02:25
Ellwood - i hear ye ?.


14.) 06 Mar 2024 13:18:12
Innis and Gunn is for the man's man?.


15.) 06 Mar 2024 13:46:42
Love a pint of tennants. altbough sir walter. The bowling club i drink at they drink a lot of 80 or tartan special. I imagine these drinks will be no more in next 20 years.


16.) 06 Mar 2024 13:49:20
Is there anything better than a cold pint of T? Always my go to.


17.) 06 Mar 2024 15:14:00
Been on the San Miguel last few days here in Spain, really cold on a hot day, can't beat it.


18.) 06 Mar 2024 17:01:18
Club wouldn't allow an alchol company to be so prevalent nowadays.

Sad to hear gazza has relapsed on that point.

Would imagine after unibet/ 32red we'll finish with gambling companies as well.


19.) 06 Mar 2024 18:01:14
Not much wrong with a cold freshly powered Pint of draught T however can be utter piss water if not looked after properly or out of the can like a lot of drinks. If you've ever been to Munich or Belgium you will know there are hundreds if not thousands of top quality lagers/ beers to sample. On Madris, they spent a fortune developing the recipe for the UK and I have to say its on point.


20.) 06 Mar 2024 18:24:15
Tennents owned by a southern Irish firm so I'd doubt they'd align themselves to us but could be wrong.


21.) 06 Mar 2024 19:09:22
Bar 72- try a chilled pint of Victoria Malaga.


22.) 06 Mar 2024 19:10:01
Tennants would be an awesome sponsor probably not worried about Celtic fans not buying their brand as they historically prefer a different brand. that in mind maybe special brew will offer to sponsor them and let the battle of lagers commence ??.


23.) 06 Mar 2024 20:51:50
Pretty sure Tennants sponsored us and not them few seasons ago.


24.) 06 Mar 2024 20:52:02
Genius and madness tjn1872 both have a tendency for self destruction, a fallen idol blighted by fame, pressure to succeed and alcohol dependency, sad indictment of care for ex pro's. Either that or he liked a swally too much and didn't care. Guess we won't know.


25.) 06 Mar 2024 20:39:48
Estrella is nice on hols ice cold. It's nice in a litre bottle too, just shy of £2 a bottle. Surprised our neighbours' regular isn't Papal Ale.


26.) 07 Mar 2024 04:54:26
Mines also The seeker ?The famous tennents lager made with the best water in the world from loch katrine ?pure scottish ingredients, the best, just like our club ?.


27.) 07 Mar 2024 06:59:56
But it has to go thru Milngavie SWS, and why's that no spelt "Mullguy", ? been thru Milngavie a few times on a Friday ?, kidding aside, don't think Tennents will be back in, with us previously and today's societal influences may temper that, that name on my shirt made my boy drink and gamble?‍?, Teams trying to step away, but if the money is good they'd have anything on the strip, within reason, just a few thoughts. ??.


28.) 07 Mar 2024 07:44:01
Never had a decent pint of tennents, so I must be going to the wrong places.


29.) 07 Mar 2024 10:54:50
Who cares what it tastes like? The post was about sponsorship, no one would be forced to drink it as part of the deal, you would hope.


30.) 07 Mar 2024 13:07:51
You must be, SirStruth, I've been drinking it for more than half a century and I love it. But stadium naming rights? Absolutely no chance.


31.) 07 Mar 2024 17:36:17
I agree hubby, but it was mooted some time ago now, think 10mill was the going chatter.


32.) 07 Mar 2024 18:40:25
I'm about 10 tins of tenants now. They can call me what they like as long as they give me loads of coins. at least a draw tonight gers please.


33.) 08 Mar 2024 07:04:58
Tenants is a good pint when it’s served properly chilled to the right temp in a proper treated tenants pint glass

Listen Walter I have a mate who used to work in tenants going to message him right now and ask if he’s heard anything I know he still has lots of contacts their
I’ll come back to you and see what he knows or has heard.
Might take a day or two mate

By the way I like the idea of tennants having a relationship with our great club once more. ?.


34.) 08 Mar 2024 20:07:28
I haven't drank Tennant's since the last T in the Park. I am afraid that if I drink it I will go mental lol.


 

 

13 Feb 2024 09:38:28
Just read a story from rangers loyal page there, that rangers are in talks with adidas about taking over from castore as our new kit manufacturers, from season 25/ 26? Don't know how reliable this source/ story is ? I can't see adidas paying out large amounts of dough to both rangers and celtic, unless of course maybe adidas and celtic are parting ways from season 25/ 26 onwards ? Interesting.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 13 Feb 2024 10:07:28
Some nice kits from Adidas coops. Battle of Britain springs to mind.


2.) 13 Feb 2024 10:12:04
If they do I hope its a decent strip, the mobs one is a bouffing top wi it's black stripes, but then again it's always bouffing.


3.) 13 Feb 2024 11:27:05
I think we will stay with Castore and I like the kits and there other gear.


4.) 13 Feb 2024 11:30:53
For me I would rather stay away from Adidas as I feel its the same design no matter what club it is they just change the colours.


5.) 13 Feb 2024 12:11:17
I would like the best deal financially for the club- so not fussed who takes it on in real terms!


6.) 13 Feb 2024 12:14:06
I think this will be used as leverage for a bigger deal from Castore.

Their gear is better than some say. I think the brands work well together and they have a more individual design approach.

Nike, Adidas its a blanket design.

However! Money talks! I also think Castore will want Rangers to stay. If I remember correct we were the first football club for them.


7.) 13 Feb 2024 12:14:40
I did like the 92 strip. I remember taking the morning off school to go to intersport on the day of it's release and buying the long sleeve home top for £40 i think it cost. Not bunking school i was just late haha. It must have made addidas a fortune that design as teams all over the world had the same strip just in different colours. Great memories with that strip beating Leeds home and away who were the English champions.


8.) 13 Feb 2024 12:32:50
Quite similar to the France top if I mind right.


9.) 13 Feb 2024 12:33:31
Hopefully not another AC/ DC strip!


10.) 13 Feb 2024 12:37:58
As long as the strips are good quality for the supporters and the club are making more money from the deal then I wouldn`t have any issue changing . that's what happens in football . I would be concerned about some of the second and third strip designs that come out of adidas (and Nike), some of them are so bad that the fans in the EPL refuse to buy them.


11.) 13 Feb 2024 13:02:47
Fan media won’t have a clue at this stage. I’m Nike loyal in training and competing terms but football strips largely template and dull. Happy to stick with Castore as their kit is also great, but whatever pays the most and has best distribution is the winner for me. Another year a bit before this happens.


12.) 13 Feb 2024 13:59:57
Rangers will be talking to a number of kit manufacturers.


13.) 13 Feb 2024 14:18:42
I hope we move from castore not been a fan of many of their strips but unless adidas are moving from Celtic I doubt it will be them as they don’t seem to supply two big teams in the same area.


14.) 13 Feb 2024 15:39:32
I like the castore kits to be honest. Designs have been good and I personally haven’t had any issues with the quality.

I do like adidas as a brand, but I think Nike are making better kits in both design and quality just now.


15.) 13 Feb 2024 15:57:59
Play them off against each other rangers are a cash cow when it comes to strips and merch.


16.) 13 Feb 2024 16:12:13
IMO Castore gets more criticism than it deserves and the amount of products on offer is good. I personally have never had issue with quality although I don’t wear the stuff that often.


17.) 13 Feb 2024 16:23:47
Would love Under Armour but happy to stick with castore.


18.) 13 Feb 2024 16:29:36
Adidas have some really smart kits and some barking ones. When we played Copenhagen thought was really smart.


19.) 13 Feb 2024 17:14:15
I personally think rangers will extend their stay with castore John227? What's your take ?.


20.) 13 Feb 2024 18:10:22
No idea, we will take the best deal with most money.


21.) 13 Feb 2024 18:54:29
At least castore make bespoke kits and not template kits that the likes of the big 2 adidas and nike churn out season on season ? I only care about which kit manufacturer gives our club the most money whoever that will be ?We all have our preferences of which kit manufacturer, we want our club to go with, so ED could you please run a poll on this for me mate, if that's ok ?My poll being which kit manufacturer do you prefer rangers to go with from the end of our current castore deal in 2025 ie. adidas, Nike, puma, umbro, new balance, macron, stay with castore, under armour, other ?As usual much appreciated ED, cheers mate ?.


22.) 13 Feb 2024 19:33:31
You'd imagine adidas would offer more money.


23.) 13 Feb 2024 19:40:30
At the end of the day it has to be the best deal financially for the Club that secures the deal.


24.) 13 Feb 2024 20:38:53
Got umpteen pair of adidas trainers but my kids are telling me folk at their school are getting slagged for wearing Adidas ? seemingly Lacoste and Hackett as well. I tell my daughter people who wear vans and converse don’t slag the above and anyway coops you are murder at predicting sponsors.


25.) 13 Feb 2024 20:42:32
SWS u do like a poll and an emoji??.


26.) 13 Feb 2024 20:56:02
Don’t need a poll unless it has the kit manufacturer that offers the most money ?.


27.) 14 Feb 2024 08:09:04
I belive Macron will be in the mix.


28.) 14 Feb 2024 08:41:57
French president makes strips, man of many talents.


29.) 14 Feb 2024 08:51:16
Captain tav i like hackett myself. But no kid is wearing lacoste or hackett. More 35+ imo. Add young kids are into nike trainers also. Adidas only for myself.


30.) 14 Feb 2024 11:02:49
One thing that Castore is terrible at is customer service! Non existent communication.


31.) 14 Feb 2024 16:43:33
Adidas for sure in footwear, personally don't like Nike. i used to do their logistics and i seen what they paid Vietnam workers for making a pair and what they were selling them for. am sure all the other manufactures do the same but seeing it in black and white had a telling effect on me. plus i find the adidas ones seem to fit me better.


 

 

20 Jan 2024 08:19:50
CoplandFront5, still not got any info on who the name of the player is we're signing in the next day or so mate ? I had heard its the permanent deal for sima we're announcing the signing of?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 20 Jan 2024 08:37:56
That would be very good in my opinion SWS
Would also show we do have the money to spend as I’m going to assume it will be a big outlay for him from our perspective would imagine in excess of 6-7 even 8 million pounds for him
and would also suggest how much the manager thinks of him

if we do sign Sima on a permanent do we think that will be it for this window and look at more the summer for moving some on and brining in some more?


2.) 20 Jan 2024 08:52:53
Why would they book rooms to announce the permanent signing of a player already at our club though?


3.) 20 Jan 2024 08:55:45
Possibly an installment pay up? Would leave some funds for that boy from Hearts, name escapes me?.


4.) 20 Jan 2024 09:22:10
Honestly sima has been good but don't think we should shell out over 7 mill on him.


5.) 20 Jan 2024 09:25:30
How can we sign sima for that when I was slaughtered on here for stating we had bid same for another player. everyone said we don’t have that sort of money for a player.


6.) 20 Jan 2024 09:33:36
Why would we buy him now when we have him on loan till June?
That doesn't make sense.


7.) 20 Jan 2024 09:36:55
Why sign him now? When u have him until the summer . Can get an agreement in place for then.


8.) 20 Jan 2024 09:01:54
Permanently signing Sima now is an absolute waste of resources when it could wait until the end of the season. We need new players in not locking down those that are already here.


9.) 20 Jan 2024 09:05:41
Maybe the plan is to
Sign Sima, convert him as our striker, like Henry was by Wenger and sign another winger this season?


10.) 20 Jan 2024 09:07:33
Jfm63,i didn't say rangers had booked any rooms mate ?.


11.) 20 Jan 2024 09:11:08
I'm certainly not against signing Sima, but don't really think that's the best use of resource right now with the gaps we have in the first team (a no 9), and wider squad. Here's hoping the fee is deferred till summer, and that it's not too ridiculous. I like him but anything over 6 or 7m is a hell of a lot for us to spend on one player.


12.) 20 Jan 2024 09:11:14
Why would we use our January budget on Sima? Surely we wait in the summer to sign him. P. S. we ain't spending 10 million on him so he might go back.


13.) 20 Jan 2024 09:17:34
Rooms for someone not even in the country? and someone who is here till May anyway? And not strengthening the squad any?
Is it just me?


14.) 20 Jan 2024 10:02:43
Didnt say you did one walter, it has been on this site in the last 24 hours that rooms have been booked.
Yours is not the only post on the site.


15.) 20 Jan 2024 10:18:57
John, CF5 also said it was fantasist to suggest we bid £8m for any player? So if he’s to be believed then it’s not Sima. I also don’t think he’s worth that money. His goals have been good but his general play in a lot of games isn’t great.


16.) 20 Jan 2024 10:19:07
Never going to use Jan money for sima when we need additional players, not ones already in the building, everyone knows we need a striker asap.


17.) 20 Jan 2024 10:32:52
We don’t have option to buy sima so it could be act now before another team offers more

Say he comes back from afcon scores another 15 goals suddenly his stick is crazy high and prices us out.


18.) 20 Jan 2024 10:49:51
Wait until summer, there will be no Sima, Clement already stated he would make move for Sima in the winter transfer window, those that pay attention to his press conferences already know this, 5-6 million is more likely the price, surely Clement has also realised this guy is a CF in the making.
Sima won't be the only signing, my bet is there are 2 more coming in and likely both wingers.
Also as stated by Clement in his recent Press conference, Yilmaz is not unsettled or unhappy at rangers, he is staying end of.
So who ever was posting that, was spouting utter lillian gish.


19.) 20 Jan 2024 11:02:20
Fans of Sunderland in the family and go there myself a few times a season . Hearing the name Shankland daily from there and it's getting annoying.


20.) 20 Jan 2024 11:42:12
Sima is a weird one. His numbers are good but he’s technically quite rubbish. He can’t beat a man or cross the ball just a good finisher.


21.) 20 Jan 2024 11:45:00
It’s shankland.


22.) 20 Jan 2024 11:50:57
John you know I like and respect your posts and info you give us but I wouldn’t say you were slaughtered just people disagreed with you which is allowed on rumours and banters page. Keep posting as the majority want to hear your info. You are letting them win by not posting. But you need to understand not everyone will agree with what you post.

We can do sima at anytime so I would be disappointed if that’s what Rangers announce.


23.) 20 Jan 2024 11:54:05
Fork we ain’t signing the man that won’t be named.


24.) 20 Jan 2024 12:46:18
Lol @Stormtrooper, watching Harry P over the festive period were we??.


25.) 20 Jan 2024 14:01:59
The reason we want him the now is a prem team could easily come in for him in the summer and offer over £10million then we lose him.


26.) 20 Jan 2024 14:45:35
Why would we announce the permanent signing of Sima at a time when he is not even in the country . Surely we would wait and make a big publicity deal out of it plus what happens if he gets a bad injury at the Afcon would we not rather he was a Brighton player, if that happened.


27.) 20 Jan 2024 14:48:22
We'll have a better idea of our transfer budget in the summer, much will depend on champions league qualification.


28.) 20 Jan 2024 14:50:40
Fork, storm thinks he is harry potter mate ?.


29.) 20 Jan 2024 15:27:15
Rfc would be excellent business to get him signed in this window.


30.) 20 Jan 2024 15:33:54
Lol Sws " the chosen one"??.


31.) 20 Jan 2024 15:44:49
Don't think it would cost 8m for Sima, think 5-6m would get him maybe with add ons, but also not sure if we'd sign him while he's away, unless he's already agreed to it.
There's no doubt in my mind John that we have money to spend, but also that we are trying to be as diligent as possible while spending it, I think you were right about the Denkey bid, if we'd got him we would make money on him IMO.


32.) 20 Jan 2024 16:02:28
Good post baz.


33.) 20 Jan 2024 17:04:40
Laudrup I totally agree with wingers it’s already been discussed in interviews from Belgian football experts how Clement likes a choice off wingers.


34.) 20 Jan 2024 17:07:01
Wslger you can always put in deal subject to medical as you say he’s still at afcon and technically not our player so this easily covers that scenario.


35.) 20 Jan 2024 17:09:24
Did we make money on Kent?

I’d be wary of paying huge fees for players just because they hit a bit of form. Not saying he isn’t a good player I like look of him but you are paying a higher price when in form like he is now.


36.) 20 Jan 2024 18:22:15
Kent in wages and transfer fee cost us a fortune.


37.) 20 Jan 2024 21:44:58
Sima now injured with potentially bad thigh problem.


38.) 20 Jan 2024 22:16:50
We got too confident we would get a bigger offer for Kent and Morelos when they were both valued around 12-15 mill, should have taken the money from Leeds 12 mill for Kent and the 15 mill from Porto for Morelos when we had the chance, blame the board and DOF, hey took a gamble and it did not pay off, and even by the time they both left on a free, there combined value had decreased but was still 7-9 mill range each.


 

 

19 Jan 2024 18:30:36
CoplandFront5, John227 or anyone else on here heard that we're in negotiations with chelsea about the possibility of getting their young 18 year old brazilian striker Deivid Washington on an 18 month loan deal? ?

I know we're allegedly trying to get a partnership with chelsea going forward regarding their youth academy players and the chance to get first pick on possible loan deals for some of their young players that we like ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 19 Jan 2024 19:43:03
I don’t know enough about the lad Walter, what’s your take on him?


2.) 19 Jan 2024 22:29:00
Would be a good partnership for us and Helps Chelsea as well.
Crazy how much they squander along with other EPL clubs in there pursuit of success, reminiscent of Real Madrid and there bank of spain funding under Vicente Del Bosque, when they had to win the champions league and Spanish league for 10 consecutive seasons, was the season they bought, Zidane, Beckham, Figo, etc.

Unfortunately they did not achieve the success hey thought they could just buy.
Chelsea are another example of that, you can squander 100's of millions on dream teams, it guarantee's nothing.


 

 

18 Jan 2024 21:33:38
A guy that sits in front of me at ibrox has just told me he got news from one of the guys who deals with follow follow, that stuttgart have seemingly offered rangers £6.75 million for our midfielder nico raskin ?He also tells me rangers have quickly rejected the bid as clement rates raskin highly and wants to build his midfield around him ? For rangers to sell raskin it would take a lot more than that for rangers to even consider it ? Thoughts on this guys and has anyone else heard this ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 18 Jan 2024 21:43:19
I really rate Raskin, but would depend if he was tempted by the power is with the players nowadays.


2.) 18 Jan 2024 21:50:50
A would take that for him.


3.) 18 Jan 2024 22:09:43
Take the money and run sws.


4.) 18 Jan 2024 22:10:38
For that price and it was all upfront I’d take it
Just my opinion mate.
have seen much better then Raskin at Rangers and not seen him dictate our play or spray the ball about midfield as yet
So for me that price i'd take it.


5.) 18 Jan 2024 22:10:48
Surely to goodness that’s someone on the drink! Would sell for that no bother.


6.) 18 Jan 2024 22:12:47
Take it, great money. Raskin 4th choice.


7.) 18 Jan 2024 22:21:39
6.75m is a good offer for Raskin he’s done next to nothing in a rangers jersey and hasn’t improved in the 12 months he’s been here. This is a massive 6 months for him imo and if he doesn’t kick on then we should look to cash in.


8.) 18 Jan 2024 22:26:40
Can’t see this to be honest. Build his team round him needs to be available more to build the team round him and he’s not worth 6.5mil in my opinion.


9.) 18 Jan 2024 22:28:40
I honestly think he's a lot to prove.


10.) 18 Jan 2024 22:30:30
I like raskin but he's not irreplacable. He does often pick up niggling injuries. If they offered another mill would prob accept. Need lunny to sign a new deal though whos been like a new player since PC came in. we also need to start doing well player trading buy low sell high. Can no longer let players leave for free.


11.) 18 Jan 2024 22:32:51
I think Raskin is a player we could build our team around.


12.) 18 Jan 2024 22:47:20
I think that would be a great piece of business tbh. The lad has potential but atm probably wouldn’t get in the team if everyone is fit.


13.) 18 Jan 2024 22:57:13
I don’t believe that for a second! And if it’s true then we’d be mad not to take £6m for an injury prone, soso midfielder. What did we pay for him less than a million!


14.) 18 Jan 2024 23:16:30
I think that’s a good offer and certainly tempting. I would however like to see what PC can do with Raskin when he is fit and playing regularly. I think he has great potential but we just haven’t seen enough yet. With the right coaching and development under PC and staying fit he could be a £15m+ player, a lot of ifs in that.


15.) 18 Jan 2024 23:31:09
If there's any substance to this, then take what is a good profit because we won't be building a team around this boy who would be lucky to get a game just now if everyone was fit.


16.) 18 Jan 2024 23:43:57
Raskin has only been here a year and injuries have stopped him settling. With a run of games in a settled midfield he'll end up worth at least twice that.


17.) 19 Jan 2024 00:18:36
Are all use mental? Stuttgart offer 6.5 up front and you lot want him out the door? Do any of use watch football. Jesus man all good and well saying punt him but then in 2/ 3 years time when he’s worth silly money you’ll be back on here talking about how it was bad business. Raskins a serious player yes he’s had a few injury’s but it’s not the end of the world I reckon he’ll kick on big time under PC.


18.) 19 Jan 2024 00:31:10
Reskin will play in the EPL and make us a some decent cash.


19.) 19 Jan 2024 07:40:39
Absolutely spot on SamOfOrange and Scotty123?In total agreement with both of you, raskin is a player alright and we will make big money on him when we do eventually sell him to a club in one of the top leagues, i've absolutely no doubt about it ???.


20.) 19 Jan 2024 08:10:29
Raskin is the most overrated player in our squad by a mile. He’s a good young player but that’s where it stops. As I said he hasn’t kicked on at all in the year he’s been here and if it continues to go that way then the time to sell will approach very quickly. For a 22 year old his injury record is appalling. For me he’s about 4th choice cm at the moment.


21.) 19 Jan 2024 08:11:41
So what's Raskin done in Rangers jersey? I keep hearing he's the next best thing. Sorry I just don't see it.


22.) 19 Jan 2024 08:25:45
What has Raskin done to warrant that value? If true i’d take the money and run.


23.) 19 Jan 2024 09:35:15
Absolutely no chance he leaves for that money. Clement thinks the lad is a star and once fully fit amd in form he will command at least double that.


24.) 19 Jan 2024 09:36:17
£6/ 7m is simply utter sh! te money! Put into context what we paid for Danilo etc. and Raskin has bags of potential.

£8/ 9m maybe. For me he stays get him in the window with European football, preferably Chanps League and watch the money increase.

Honestly some on here would sell the team for waaashers!


25.) 19 Jan 2024 09:45:39
I like Raskin I thought he was brilliant end of Beales first season, stagnant this season under Beale with injury and what not but felt he looked great when PC come in then got injured, we signed him for about a million but he's had like 3 or 4 injurys already in a short space of time, we all know how this pans out, anywhere near they figures sell sell sell, very much doubt it to be honest.


26.) 19 Jan 2024 10:06:51
Coming up to the last week of the window and timing has a lot to do with players coming and going, even if a good offer came in for a player it would depend on being able to bring a replacement in.


27.) 19 Jan 2024 11:26:27
Sell sell sell

I’d have took £5m for him, so at that price I’d bite their hand off.


28.) 19 Jan 2024 12:05:19
Alll these rumours, well I guess that this is a rumours site however from what I am hearing and the info received has been fairly accurate up to now, we will not be letting Yilmaz go to Galatasaray on a loan deal at the numbers quoted and most of the media noise is coming from Istanbul from Sports journalists that want Yilmaz at Galatasaray. What is more, irrespective of the Business Sector, the Turks are a difficult people to deal with on contracts, (Ali Baba and the 40 thieves sums them up pretty well)!

Everything I hear is that Clement rates Ylimaz as a starter and no player that is in his plans will leave unless we have adequate cover and can sign players to replace that will improve the team.

Mu understanding, but it is only from throw away comments in the City, is that we have money available to make signings this month and substantially more funds available in the Summer to improve the first eleven and as a result of this our overall squad.

I'm also told from folks that know Clement from his past roles that he will not sign players without significant research so given that he and his team have not been onboard for very long I don't see him rushing into signings that were based on the recommendations of previous Rangers employees without doing his own research.

Im pretty sure that he will have a good idea of what he wants as his squad going forward, if that means we wait until the summer to rebuild, fine. It is up to the players that are here at the moment to win the league and prove that they are worthy of wearing the jersey!


29.) 19 Jan 2024 16:41:39
A guy who sits in front of me. ???.


30.) 19 Jan 2024 14:48:22
I’m still swaying towards raskin not all that I didn’t rate him from what I had seen then I changed my mind a little when he first started playing for us but our midfield badly needed fresh ideas at the time injury had made it really hard to judge if he is a decent player or not.


31.) 19 Jan 2024 14:49:16
Been injured more than jack at his time at rangers so far and for a young boy that’s not a great sign.

Although scotland got beaten 4-0 against the dutch last night, i actually thought they played superbly well the first half, with the immense billy gilmour pulling the strings ? What a superb midfielder young gilmour is and easily for me the best midfielder on show, what a talent and the future scotland midfield should be built around the exceptional billy gilmour ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 23 Mar 2024 16:23:14
Didnt see it. didn't even know they were playing. But by what evverybody is sayimg when souttar came on he was terrible and cost scotland the game. can't judge tho as didn't see any of it.


2.) 23 Mar 2024 16:54:12
Would rather Souttar got a bad performance out of his system with Scotland than with Rangers.


3.) 23 Mar 2024 17:59:49
To be fair to big souttar, he was brought on when the dutch were in the ascendancy and that's extremely difficult especially for a centre half to be brought into that at the time and what was unfolding ?Yes he was slow to react but he's trying to get up to the pace of the game, when the dutch like i said were in the ascendancy and constantly attacking ? Before clarke made all the sub changes, scotland were the better team with billy gilmour outstanding ?.


 

 

22 Mar 2024 05:11:57
Lets see what all our thoughts are about our players who are out of contract at the end of the season and the players we currently have on loan ? Here's my thoughts/ opinion ie.
Lundstram -will be offered a new contract and stay, jack-won't be offered a new contract away, barisic-away, roofe-won't be offered a new contract, away, mclaughlin -won't be offered a new contract, away. Now our players currently on loan ie. sima-stay, possibly on another year loan deal or a permanent deal depending on the fee, silva -possibly another loan deal but that's the best we can hope for, cortes -permanent signing, again depending on the fee/ possible loan deal again/ stay ? What's all our thoughts on this guys ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 22 Mar 2024 07:11:16
I think lunny is away and will be looking for 1 big last contract. The only one ouy if contract to stay will be balogun. Sima won't be back. We will sign cortes, silva won't be back.


2.) 22 Mar 2024 08:01:21
Coops you had a go at me earlier in the week for saying roofe wouldn’t be staying ?. Now you are saying it.
PC will decide on all of those. ?.


3.) 22 Mar 2024 08:41:46
Think it will be difficult for us to get another loan for sima and silva as teams in better leagues may be circling, cortes I'd like to get a season loan and I'm sure diomande loan will become permanent as it was agreed I think.


4.) 22 Mar 2024 08:42:48
I think Lunny stays if we win league as he won't get a crack at the Champions league again.


5.) 22 Mar 2024 09:19:36
Walter, I agree with most of your list. Silva will be gone this summer. I'd give Balogun another one year contract.


6.) 22 Mar 2024 09:27:45
Of the out of contract I’d say maybe only lundstram stays however maybe balogun but only as cover if we manage to move on Davies . I would keep diomande if possible, Cortes, sima and probably silva if we could . I think we might need to strengthen other areas depending on potential sales. Personally if it’s status quo I’d sign a center back, left back and a stiker maybe a midfielder.


7.) 22 Mar 2024 09:51:09
I think he's looking for the best deal on the table now, and I still think he will end up playing next season in Saudi for Gerrard's team. Honestly, can't blame a player at that age chasing a last big deal.


8.) 22 Mar 2024 10:38:52
Bgate we need to keep Diamonde as it was a loan with an obligation to buy.


9.) 22 Mar 2024 11:15:13
Ok thanks jfm didn’t realise. Thinking diomande will be better next season after a proper pre season with rangers. That said I think they all will benefit from a proper pre season under big Phil.


10.) 22 Mar 2024 11:39:10
Roofe - exceptional player when fit but you would expect him to be released at the end of his contract.


11.) 22 Mar 2024 12:23:08
I don't think Sima is worth 7 million.


12.) 22 Mar 2024 13:04:57
Sima is definitely worth 7m but we won't need to pay that amount. How much is oriley worth again pal?


13.) 22 Mar 2024 13:53:11
Big dado the comparison to oreily and sima ain’t any good different positions for a start.
It depends how much we have to spend in summer whether we sign sima I think for 5 million and one year on his deal then I think that would be a good price.


14.) 22 Mar 2024 15:26:12
O'Riley has 4 years left on his contract and is wanted by teams in the top 5 leagues, Sima has failed in the epl, has one year left in his contract and coming back from injury. There's absolutely no comparison between the 2. Sima only worth 3 million and add ons tops imo.


15.) 22 Mar 2024 15:44:59
Sima will have a better career than O'Riley in my opinion boomboom, O'Riley started the season well but he's back like the average player he was last season, would rather have Cantwell in my team 100%, I'm just very happy we never touched that Palma.


16.) 22 Mar 2024 15:46:35
Boomboom did Sima fail in the epl? you need chances too fail in any league, so definitely never failed in my opinion.


17.) 22 Mar 2024 16:25:31
I'm not saying who will have a better career I'm saying the truth Star. Sima is in the spfl due to not cutting it at Brighton. O'Riley has high stock due to clubs in the top 5 leagues wanting him.


18.) 22 Mar 2024 16:46:44
He wasn't comparing their positions, he was comparing their value. Positions have no bearing on their value. I get what you are saying boomboom, however Sima performed well in europe and o'reilly looks as though he has downed tools since he never got a move in January. I can't see Brighton letting him leave for any less than they paid even with a year left on his deal.


19.) 22 Mar 2024 17:06:28
Starting the truth boom?


20.) 22 Mar 2024 17:46:28
Boom, sima has never had a chance in epl.

My star it’s your opinion and you're are entitled to it, but it’s another whopper from you with sima and O'Reilly.


21.) 22 Mar 2024 19:33:52
What are you even talking about Sima and O'Riley? if you're talking about a better career, i believe Sima will, O'Riley can't perform well constantly and at an age he should be.


22.) 22 Mar 2024 20:51:03
To be fair star didn't Atl Madrid just bid for him?


23.) 22 Mar 2024 21:27:00
Seemingly did, but that doesn't change my opinion RTG, he'll be 24 year this season and plays good for a few months a season, he should be stepping up when McGregor is missing.


24.) 22 Mar 2024 23:14:41
He's clearly downed tools after he never got a move in January.


25.) 23 Mar 2024 07:31:06
Really RTG, so you have him in your team then?


26.) 23 Mar 2024 10:54:20
What? You don't think O'Reilly has downed tools? The majority of Celtic fans feel that he has because he never got a move. Why are you asking me if I would have him in my team? Are you another one who does not like an opinion that is different to yours?

You said that you think Sima would have a better career and I said to be fair Atl Madrid bid for O'Reilly, teams like that are not bidding for Sima. Whether or not one of us would have him in our team is neither here nor there and proves nothing!


27.) 23 Mar 2024 11:32:10
Once again rtg in my opinion Sima will have a better career, if AM did sign him he would be posted missing then, because he wouldn't get near their bench and they certainly weren't paying the cash celtic wanted.


28.) 23 Mar 2024 13:57:14
Why would Diego Simeone bid for him if he wouldn't get on their bench? Unless you are better qualified than Simeone then your opinion has no more credibility than anyone else. Yes it is your opinion and you are perfectly entitled to it, so why are you irked with other's opinion?

Its irrelevant that they weren't going to pay the cash Celtic wanted, the fact is they bid for him. So Simeone must think he could do a job for him.

You will be happy John227,that rangers V manchester utd in a glamour friendly at murrayfield, on saturday 20th of july ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 20 Mar 2024 12:30:11
Fans need to be aware that it will primarily be reserves and academy

United international players unlikely to have started back in training.

Go look at their team who played Lyon last summer

Only glamour in name only I suspect.


2.) 20 Mar 2024 13:18:40
Ps also good to see we r paying off debt incurred from Australia debacle,


3.) 20 Mar 2024 13:25:14
70 quid a ticket. 35 quid for juveniles ???.


4.) 20 Mar 2024 13:51:25
That's good info for people spending that kind of money expecting to see all the stars john27.


5.) 20 Mar 2024 14:04:46
Boy, it’s for people to assess who they think will be available and determine is the price worth it, I will go, but a lot off money for many.


6.) 20 Mar 2024 14:06:14
Tickets are now cheaper. Must have released the expensive tickets 1st. 43 is still pricey for friendly. But 4 bought.


7.) 20 Mar 2024 14:09:18
How is paying off debt for something that should never have been agreed in the first place "good"?!

This is on one person, and one person only (Bisgrove), and he should take full responsibility. How in God's name did he ever think this was a good idea?! Basically agreeing to be the support act in big Ange's homecoming celebrations! ??.


8.) 20 Mar 2024 14:31:57
I know we have differing opinions from time to time rtr, but I have to say I agree totally with you on this. Mental to even consider this imo.


9.) 20 Mar 2024 14:47:43
We greet about lack of income into our game and then greet about the chance to make an easy £3 million on the other side of the World giving fans in that area the chance to see their favourite team.
We also greet ironically about the lack of away fans in Old Firm games.
So what's the difference from us wanting to go to the Piggery to see Rangers against Celtic and someone in Australia being given the opportunity to see Rangers v Celtic?


10.) 20 Mar 2024 15:06:56
RTR spot on ???????????.


11.) 20 Mar 2024 15:15:43
Of course John, when I told my boy we were playing them he said I want to go see certain players, so was all for it till I seen your post. I just wouldn't pay that to watch kids. definitely good info.


12.) 20 Mar 2024 15:20:00
Ror we concededed the court case so have to play, three or four show games.

Interesting you blame Bisgrove court papers only mentioned park and Robertson.


13.) 20 Mar 2024 15:24:09
Agree tattie, never saw the problem with that game mate. We have a big support over there who would have loved to see that game.


14.) 20 Mar 2024 15:35:38
Because Park and Robertson were directors at the time, and on the board, John, but Bisgrove was the man who initiated this. Yes, the other 2 were complicit in this, and share the blame, but this was another "great", pop up marketing plan by Bisgrove.


15.) 20 Mar 2024 15:36:42
So you're happy with sloppy seconds, MPH, as long as the money is good? Hmmmmm?!


16.) 20 Mar 2024 15:40:08
I’m happy to pass on this one. I hate friendlies anyway and given the diluted line ups likely, this is a good one for parents and kids who don’t get to games to enjoy in the school holidays. We’ll get our appearance fee regardless. This is just an exhibition and my money will be used towards next seasons away trips.


17.) 20 Mar 2024 15:51:52
Agreed, Seeker, but it would appear that some are quite happy to sell their soul if the price is right!

Honestly, any Rangers fan who is happy to play the support gig to our biggest rivals, just because there's a bit of money involved in it, need to take a long, hard look at themselves. Shameful!


18.) 20 Mar 2024 15:59:39
Ibrox r u hearing we r getting money, I understand we need to pay organisers just over two million so that is three or four games depending on turnout


Ror all about opinions, certainly was not a Bisgrove gig, this was our chairman.


19.) 20 Mar 2024 16:57:19
RTR, I've just taken a long hard look at myself and I'm still of the opinion that the Oz tour was a missed opportunity ruined by petty mindedness.


20.) 20 Mar 2024 17:29:34
Agreed EHL.


21.) 20 Mar 2024 17:42:43
Then shame on you, EHL! ??.


22.) 20 Mar 2024 17:46:05
Hopefully both clubs field players from their first team squad as after all it’s a glamour friendly.


23.) 20 Mar 2024 18:40:59
I agree with MPH, ehl and John on this one. The cash would have came in handy.


24.) 20 Mar 2024 18:42:04
Copland, google team from game against Lyon and tell me how many of the 21 players Man Utd used you heard of.


25.) 20 Mar 2024 19:10:10
Rtr, we will never be a support gig to that lot, your talking your own team down there, mate. When it comes to them and us, we will always be the big show in town. The only shameful thing here is you thinking we will ever be a support gig to them.
Of course it was ehl.


26.) 20 Mar 2024 19:52:51
Your post doesn't make sense, BB3?!


27.) 20 Mar 2024 20:14:09
John, It’s absolutely in and out as you’ve suggested. Simply paying the debt off and nothing in it for us. There’ll be one or two foreign exhibition games at some point. Ironically, this should suit us, location, timing and level wise. The more expensive the tickets and the more that go, the quicker the debt is paid off. Another reason I’m not interested in going.

RTR and others, Biscrovw was Commercial Director at the time. His job was to bring opportunities to the table. Up to the board to approve or not. Any criticism you have lies at the door of Park and Robertson. That’s how it works.


28.) 20 Mar 2024 20:32:01
I am sorry but Man. Utd have ripped off fans for the past few years with pre season friendlies at Murrayfield for the past few years its been kids only.


29.) 20 Mar 2024 22:09:03
Scrambled it’s not Man U, or us or Manchester city Liverpool etc.

The organisers rent stadium, invite teams, pay them a fee based on attendance.

Note Rangers statement, we were invited to play Man U.

Some fans believe it’s because work getting done Copland, it’s about organisers making money.


30.) 20 Mar 2024 23:08:48
Rtr kind of what a thought of yours, telling people who think differently from you there shameful. It's maybe your way of thinking, that makes you not want to understand it.


31.) 21 Mar 2024 07:35:20
Scrambled eggs alotnof there players likely still on holiday after the euros. Sure this game 4 days or so after the final.


32.) 21 Mar 2024 07:39:02
Again, your post doesn't make sense, BB3?!


33.) 21 Mar 2024 09:08:02
Correct Paul a week after final.


34.) 21 Mar 2024 09:59:51
Of course it makes sense, your not a daft guy rtr.


35.) 21 Mar 2024 10:03:44
mPH thr australia thing was marketed as big ange homecoming. that's what most fans didn't like.


36.) 21 Mar 2024 11:07:52
Maybe to you, BB3, but not to me?!


37.) 21 Mar 2024 13:18:01
Getting rid of Park and Robinson along with the old DoF and Parks was the best decision the Club have made for a number of years.
Robinson had no commercial acumen whatsoever and Park was living in the past. When it came to putting funds in to our own Ladies Team and taking them to another level or putting the money into Scottish Football, we lost out.
My thought on our previous DoF are well known on here, I wan't a fan and the less said about Parks the better!


38.) 21 Mar 2024 14:04:15
Hello John, can I ask you, are we still paying Ashley, or, is he off the radar now.


39.) 21 Mar 2024 14:32:54
We should sell any player who DOESN'T want to be here. If they can't realise how fortunate they are to be at one of the best clubs in football, then replace with someone who wants to give their all for THE RANGERS.
Only my opinion.


 

 

20 Mar 2024 11:27:34
Out of our 3 loan signings i really do hope we sign oscar cortes on a permanent deal, to what i've seen of this very exciting young winger already ? He's so direct with terrific pace, and can go past his man easily on the outside or the inside and gets defenders on the back foot ? This young man certainly gets me on the edge of my seat at ibrox, with his direct style of play. I know we won't be able to keep silva for the very obvious reason of money and even sima might be a hard deal permanently, depending on the sort of dough brighton want for him ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

1.) 20 Mar 2024 11:37:02
Think Cortes is the most likely given he’s the cheapest and they all have played their best on the left wing.


2.) 20 Mar 2024 12:09:33
Cortes and diomande.


3.) 20 Mar 2024 12:10:17
Wold agree with that all day long SWS?.


4.) 20 Mar 2024 12:29:03
SWS I'd prefer Cortes on another loan and Sima signed mate.


5.) 20 Mar 2024 12:45:55
Wouldn't mind Silva back on loan as well, but can't see that happening unless he signs a new deal at wolves.


6.) 20 Mar 2024 13:34:05
My star, we won't pay the money Brighton will want for sima.


7.) 20 Mar 2024 13:56:38
Same paul can't see us getting sima, feel I seen enough of cortes would love him signed, diomande also looked a bit out his depth against benfica, but as I posted previously he made a mistake early in the game and feel it spooked him a little, no concerns though.


8.) 20 Mar 2024 14:31:43
We have to buy diomande, we don't have the same obligtion with the others.


9.) 20 Mar 2024 15:14:56
Diomande looked tired and nervous against Benfica. However it was probably the biggest game of his football career to date and he has been good in the league. He will be a decent signing. I would go for Cortes too as he looks a proper winger.


10.) 20 Mar 2024 15:34:55
Dio is a must sign, been great for the most part and scored a couple of very good goals.
Benfica game was biggest game of his life and there were a more than a few players that made mistakes in that game.

Cortes and Dio are must signs.

Not too bothered about Sima to be honest but unlikely due to money.

Silva is no chance due to money.

I'd like to see more of McKinnon to be honest.


11.) 20 Mar 2024 19:18:02
Allymc / macdoj definitely wasn't singling dio out, only mentioned his mistake because we were talking about our loans that's all. I'm for sure one of his biggest fans guys, he will go from strength to strength for sure.


12.) 20 Mar 2024 20:15:06
Cortes and Diomande all day long. Maybe get Sima on another season long loan, then see.


13.) 20 Mar 2024 22:11:51
ally curious why you aren't bothered about sima? 14 goals fron the wing would be pushing 20 if he wasnt injured. Kent took about 3 year to do that. Young and potentIally the no9 we need as well imo. Year left on contract a deal won't be that difficult.


14.) 20 Mar 2024 22:27:21
I can see us signing all three.


 

 

19 Mar 2024 20:56:03
Following on from yesterday and the talk/ debate whether we think kemar roofe will get a new contract to stay with rangers beyond this season ?I have a strong feeling that if he proves that his hip op was a success and that his injuries have eased significantly, he will get a new contract at rangers in some shape or form, as clement rates him very highly. ?

Just imagine roofe had the fitness levels of james tavernier ?He'd absolutely blow Scottish football away ? I think our manager is currently managing roofe terrifically well, in not rushing him and building up his minutes and sub introductions, bit by bit. ?

Roofe stated himself the other day, that he was rushing things before, as he was desperate to play and get back to his talented best ? Clement will make sure that he's slowly weaned back to hopefully, full match fitness ?.

Sir Walter Smith OBE

Just don't see Roofe getting offered another contract, would be crazy in my opinion but can't see it sws.


2.) 19 Mar 2024 21:35:54
Show terrible ambition by the club if he gets a new deal. Lucky to get 10 games a season out him and he's one of highest earners at club. Him and jack should be no where near the squad next year. One of the clubs biggest problems is holding on to players far to long.


3.) 19 Mar 2024 21:52:42
Don’t think he will Walter he will want to much don’t think we would offer more than one year at 5k per week and a club option of another year he will get more elsewhere.


4.) 19 Mar 2024 21:53:04
He needs to go. we need players that can play 40 x 90 mins each season.


5.) 19 Mar 2024 22:44:41
If Roofe gets offered a new contract then however sanctions it should be removed from the club with immediate affect.


6.) 19 Mar 2024 22:45:15
100% Roofe is not getting a new contract, neither is Jack.


7.) 19 Mar 2024 23:36:16
No need for a follow on it’s still NO roofe will not be here next season. Think over his contract we has given our club and how much he has taken from the club.

It was souttar last week this weeks it’s roofe turn for many posts.


8.) 19 Mar 2024 23:36:51
100%’paul RFC and mark.


9.) 19 Mar 2024 23:43:40
Would love a fully fit Roofe, but can't see that happening so it's a no for me, and as Paul says we're hanging onto pplayers too long. Time to move on.


10.) 20 Mar 2024 00:07:26
To be fair he has probably played as many games as the average 23yr old. So if he gets fit could potentially have another 10 yrs left in him!


11.) 20 Mar 2024 01:02:57
He's out. Of course he will burst a gut to try for another contract but it won't happen. We can fantasise all we like about him having Tavernier's fitness levels but he hasn't. I cannot recall reading or hearing anything that the manager saying he rated Roofe 'very highly' and I think he knows he can get far better, more reliable talents for the money we are paying a crock.


12.) 20 Mar 2024 05:48:34
Just imagine young McCausland had the same talent as messi he would run amok in Scotland. Crazy comparison same as comparing Tavernier and Roofe fitness wise.


13.) 20 Mar 2024 06:26:09
Roofe has had a few moments for us but people get far too carried away about his ability. He should be sent on his way i wouldn't give him any wage. Time to move on.


14.) 20 Mar 2024 06:29:56
Bb150, is that a similar stance to the, if my granny / granda rumours?.


15.) 20 Mar 2024 06:42:36
Storm, it's merely my opinion that i wouldn't be surprised if roofe got a new contract of some sort?In my post i never once said that i wanted roofe to get a new deal, so why yet again the sarcastic dig my friend ?I honestly don't think you know you are so divisive at times ? I like the majority of us will trust clement on whatever he chooses for roofe in the end ?.


16.) 20 Mar 2024 07:24:33
He has 10 possibly 11 games to prove he is over his injuries and can be an asset to Rangers.
Considering the medical staff and Clement are managing his game time there is no way on Earth, Roofe is going to prove he deserves a new contract.
Unfortunately for him, his Rangers career is now finished with the money we save on his wages being better spent elsewhere.
Talented player when fit but we've been burned once to often in these situations.


17.) 20 Mar 2024 07:31:19
Roofe won't be offered a new deal, given us some good memories but it's a joke how often he's injured, club needs to move on and same goes for Ryan Jack.


18.) 20 Mar 2024 07:39:39
Can see where your coming from SWS, ok, say he gets full fitness, plays a few, then gets injured again and we have just extended his contract, that would be a complete waste of funds and a few angry bears, I like roofe, think he's gt something, problem is his reliability, would love a fully fit guy that doesn't breakdown when the wind changes, unfortunately for club and player that isn't and probably won't be attainable.


19.) 20 Mar 2024 07:52:28
Thought this was Football Insider/ Ibrox Noise for a moment ?.


20.) 20 Mar 2024 07:53:21
Bonus points for shoehorning Tav into a post about Roofe though ??????????.


21.) 20 Mar 2024 08:06:27
Fork. ?.


22.) 20 Mar 2024 08:14:56
3 emoji short Ibrox ??? there u go, oh and have a "Tav" on me.


23.) 20 Mar 2024 09:03:16
This is becoming a joke on here now to some posters, when when you're only posting an opinion ? Nothing better to post but to try and make a fool of and antagonise others ?All bears together ? don't make me laugh!


24.) 20 Mar 2024 10:15:07
Toys oot the pram because someone had the audacity to disagree ???.


25.) 20 Mar 2024 11:06:03
SWM, it's nothing to do with someone disagreeing mate, it's certain posters trying to make fun of other posters, who are only stating an opinion, no need for that! Some only post to antagonise others who do post opinions or news etc and don't contribute posts themselves ie only interested in making fun of and jumping down the throats of other posters on here! Don't tell me that doesn't happen because it does.


26.) 20 Mar 2024 11:12:12
Walter everyone entitled to a opinion, u told me that last week when I pointed out how u run down McLaughlin.


27.) 20 Mar 2024 12:02:53
SWS fgs it's jovial n fun to break up how heated and nasty it can get at times, I was commenting on a post by Ibrox, lighten up christ, you want it to be like a morgue fgs. Apologies if your sensitivities have been offended.


28.) 20 Mar 2024 12:16:10
It’s not becoming a Joke coops, people are merely giving you their opinions to your post but you don’t like it as it doesn’t agree with yours ?


Correct sir Walter McCoist am glad someone else is seeing it does it all the time.


29.) 20 Mar 2024 13:34:37
Btw SWS, If you are referring to me earlier or Ibrox, FYI I contribute plenty, aye some of it is?, but some is not, I took a doing 2 WKS ago on here do you see me in a huff, I'm still here, if you are not referring to me then I apologise.


30.) 20 Mar 2024 14:03:48
Absolutely storm, keep up the good work. ??.


31.) 20 Mar 2024 15:05:00
Bitch'ness in full flow again. Seems to be a trend here.


32.) 20 Mar 2024 15:28:45
Meoow?‍⬛.


33.) 20 Mar 2024 15:56:59
Stormtrooper, could you not have gave your opinion without the dig at the end regarding lots of posts. let's face it who are you to decide how many times someone can post about the same subject. You seem to always be at the heart of the bitch'ness. Is there a reason for that?


34.) 20 Mar 2024 18:45:00
RTG, could you not have done the same? It's a banter site ? unless you have forgot ?‍♂️ I never decide anything, but I can have an opinion on it and people like you and coops won’t stop me ?.


35.) 20 Mar 2024 20:34:25
Bitchyness and hypocrisy, what's not to love???.


36.) 21 Mar 2024 01:31:07
I never made any digs or tried to stop anyone having an opinion. I have noticed that when there is a bit of bitch'ness going on you are involved stormtrooper. Maybe people like you could do better and leave the digs out and bitch'ness wouldn't follow you. Just find this strange from grown men on a fans site.


37.) 21 Mar 2024 07:17:33
Then why u bitchin at Storm? Acussing him of being a catalyst for having a thought, no matter how strange the thought is, is that not a dig bud, we all do it, you included mate. I know I do?.


38.) 21 Mar 2024 12:51:14
I was pointing out that stormtroopers initial dig started the bitch'ness on this thread, which it did and if you look at other threads where there is bitch'ness stormtrooper is involved most of the time. I know its not a dig at me and I'm not trying to have a dig at stormtrooper but if you look at the points I have made then you will see for yourself. Just wondering what is going on.


39.) 21 Mar 2024 16:45:46
It's been running for ages bud, they hammer at each other, sometimes star is in it too, I gt caught up in it yesterday and I wasn't even talking to him, was having a bit of banter with Ibrox, he accused people of looking to antagonise him when he posts, when it's others having banter and an opinion that doesn't suit his narrative, then accuses the posters of not contributing, as you can see he has ignored me calling him out, I contribute plenty and interact with everyone, that's normal practice, but it's up to him. I'm of the opinion if you have something to say then say it, it's a debate forum, I gt slaughtered 2 was ago, no need to take the huff, it's not personal.


40.) 21 Mar 2024 18:31:41
Yeah I have noticed Star too at times. Ah well if people don't like an opinion then that's their problem I suppose.

I really hope so AC21? Ridvan Yilmaz is a very good, young left back who will only get better ? He's looked superb for us with him getting an extended run in the rangers team ?I think most of us realised he was a good player ?I think most of us on here at that time in january, said yilmaz was better than josh doig and no doubt for me he is ?.

Allegedly it's the length of contract that's stalling lundstram signing the deal to remain with rangers ?Lunny wants a 3 year contract and rangers seemingly are offering him a new 2 year contract, thus the sticking point ?.

Like most of us on here i want big john lundstram to stay but if he decides he wants to move on and what we're offering is not for him, then so be it ?We move on and i'm sure clement will have a younger alternative lined up ? Undoubtedly, we'll be able to replace john lundstram ? Dujon Sterling is already here remember ?.

Blackwoodbear, i echo everything you said there mate, about the late, great davie 'super' cooper ???
I remember as a young boy going along to ibrox for our cup game against clydebank when coops played for the bankies against us and i was there with my dad and his pals. I remember each one of them including my dad, raving about coops playing against us and i actually asked my dad do you think rangers should get that player dad ?My dad replied yes we'll get him son and he'll be a rangers great and of course the rest is history ?coops was outstanding for the bankies against us and i think it took us 4 games to eventually get the better of them but what a footballer davie cooper was ? Imagine with the transfer fees the way they are now, what he'd be worth in the present day ?.

I hope and pray scotty arfield receives the permission to own his own bar on the copland road ? He's a cracking fella that i've always had time for and a big mate of mine knows him well from the dechmont/ broxburn area ?I've met scotty arfield myself through my mate and he's a very good, very witty fella who loves the rangers and our supporters, unlike his brother who is a big supporter of that other mob.
