Hope it's not true. just read that we are interested in Bristol striker Semenyo at 5milllion. Guy's scored 17 in 115 games. That rate barely prolific and would hope we would be looking at better than that.

Spanish John

1.) 10 Nov 2022 10:22:26
Well I hope it is very true he would be a star for our club.


2.) 10 Nov 2022 10:35:05
where have you heard this mate?


3.) 10 Nov 2022 11:51:36
This morning on Our view ITTC and Ibrox news.


4.) 10 Nov 2022 12:27:55
If correct first thing ibrox news have been right about.


5.) 10 Nov 2022 15:43:15
We need too find a few scottish guys n get a bit of backbone back intoo the team, players who what's it like too represent the old firm cause when mcgregor hangs up the gloves, who there knows our institution and what it stands for, guys who would be ashamed and hate too lose too celtic
Andy Haliday example, not our most amazing player, but in an old firm would run through a wall for the jersey, and find that extra10 20% too pull us through, some of the guys there are embarrassing just now, we have no backbone or spine

WE need too find our roots and build on not just bring in more sh#te too make up numbers.


6.) 10 Nov 2022 15:51:39
???Ibrox News is to reliable Rangers transfer news as Rabbi Matondo is to being a footballer!


7.) 10 Nov 2022 17:00:10
Today I’m being told rangers have no interest in semyeno or the goalkeeper kovacevic

Allegedly we have agreed to bring in a goalie for a million in January.


8.) 10 Nov 2022 17:23:15
NRD every time matondo plays left wing he is effective, 2 assists in 15 mins v St Johnstone, won us a vital penalty a week or 2 ago. not his fault our manager is clueless.


9.) 10 Nov 2022 17:42:03
Hi Rabbi.


10.) 10 Nov 2022 18:02:54
who’s the goalkeeper john, did you get any names mate?


11.) 10 Nov 2022 18:24:38
We need to stop shopping in lower league england market we are basically shopping for same player market as hearts and some other spl it's stupid especially with player prices being inflated means we end up chasing bosmans only and then they end up on higher wages and if don't play well even tougher to get rid.


We should be looking to Denmark/ Sweden Italy Serbia Croatia good solid European markets

Our scouting is so lazy we should be aiming at potential international players not English league players that would get nowhere near English team ? we've been doing same thing for too long and results have been poor over that long period.


12.) 10 Nov 2022 18:25:34
We got battered 5-0 5-1 etc most times Halliday player come on now his record in old firms was horrendous.


13.) 10 Nov 2022 18:53:10
John am hearing the goalkeeper we are looking to be bringing in is Tom Heaton from Man Utd.


14.) 10 Nov 2022 19:22:28
Humph no name, will 87 has posted a name, I’m not sure we want a player that old as a first choice.


15.) 10 Nov 2022 20:06:42
He is a quality keeper hope this is true.


16.) 10 Nov 2022 20:31:04
Tom Heaton is 36 that would seem a strange signing.
Unless for a short term.


17.) 10 Nov 2022 21:22:04
Celtic fans used to sing Andy’s name.


18.) 10 Nov 2022 21:41:44
John, are you hearing keeper coming from EPL?


19.) 10 Nov 2022 22:15:12
He is still a quality keeper would be a great signing for this season and next then hopefully Mcgrorie.


20.) 11 Nov 2022 03:51:59
Gvb on Semenyo looks a decent enough prospect but I count see us signing him not a great goals return definitely cod play right side though a good link up player but I'd be curious to see how he would stand up against teams that have men behind ball all his best highlights in England seem to come from open game counter attacks which you don't get a lot of in Scotland he also has a contract till the end of 2023 with an option of a further year so looks like a non starter unles we want to pay stupid money.


21.) 11 Nov 2022 06:42:30
What i mean by Halliday. Is he's a rangers man n would run through a wall for us, set examples for others in the dressing room n knew what it was like too wear our jersey with pride weather bad or good played with passion and gave 100%, has rangers blood, like mcgregor, loves and supports rangers, hated too lose.


22.) 11 Nov 2022 09:46:44
Semenyo has bags of potential and out of contract in the summer. Deep lying forward, gets far more assists than goals. If we aren't looking at players like that then the scouting system is broken.


23.) 11 Nov 2022 10:16:14
Bankie no idea where keeper coming from, behind scenes we have been following an Eastern Europe goalie.


24.) 11 Nov 2022 11:57:53
@BlueDreamer - Were Laudrup, Gazza, or Albertz Rangers men? No, but they were some of the best payer we’ve ever had.

There’s a myth that players need to be Scottish, or Rangers fans. Like Doran’s, Murphy, Halliday, etc? We signed players like that and we were horrific. What we need is good players regardless of who they support or where they come from. It’s our job to make those players fall in love with this club when they get here.

I don’t care how much Halliday likes Rangers. He was never good enough and we should never sign someone of that quality again. We were European finalists 6 months ago. Kamara was worth £10m last summer. We should have a player like Evander next to him for £8m. We need to think much bigger than ‘squad players’, ‘he could do a job’, ‘he’s a good Rangers man’. Can he play football is what we need to ask!


25.) 12 Nov 2022 06:09:04
Rabbi while it's technically true his contract is up they do have the option to extend it another year so he's not really out of contract as soon as anyone is interested all they need to do is activate clause and demand fee.


26.) 12 Nov 2022 06:12:41
I agree verdant on your recruitment thoughts. think our scouting way too lazy and shopping in English market for players that big teams don't want down there makes us no better than what hearts Hibs Aberdeen and other spl teams are doing.

I do however think it is good (not necessary) to have a true rangers fan in squad to help fire team on.


27.) 12 Nov 2022 08:49:22
Agree verdant. But look at my post i said we need some scottish players like the passion of Halliday and mgregor too give our team a bit of passion n spine, of corse gazza n laudrup where amazing. Some of the best players we have ever had. But nobody in our team could lace their boots, exept davis who is exceptional, but getting on a bit now. yeah mate we need great players All i'm trying too say is we have barley a scotsman , example Barry Ferguson grass roots, scottish who knows what it mean too play for us

We are losing daft games in the leauge too formidable Scottish apponnents. Some of the forign guys can't cut the pace of our game so we need a mix i agree we need too spend Good cash too compete more in Europe but you still need a few Scott's who know and can play our game here

But our bread n butters the spl
N if we can't win points here we don't get into europe


Laudrup
Gazza where phenomenal players mate total diffrent class but they where still mixed in with class scotsmen
Ferguson for instance

You need a good mix. My point is always good too have scots players in the scots league. .


28.) 12 Nov 2022 17:11:04
Blue Dreamer, I fully agree. The problem that I see is that our current Board and Scouting just doesn't look capable of identifying and signing players of the quality you mention and I am quite sure that they are still there is leagues that we do not appear to have the knowledge of.

Similarly, we don't identify young Scottish talent or even target Scots that are playing in England and internationally. Perhaps it is as simple as they don't have the right Agent since Wilson seems to have his favourite contacts!

One look at the players available on Bosmans shows that the quality is there. Players of a similar standing to those signed by Souness, Smith and Advocat. Question is, does our current Manager and our Current Chairman have the charisma to convince these players to sign for us or are we only allowed to sign players identified by Wilson!

Herewego stated that you" can win penalties and free kicks"
I am still waiting on him to tell HOW!

Spanish John

1.) 14 Jul 2022 20:01:49
Strange question to ask.

Are you asking someone to tell you how to win pens and free kicks?


2.) 14 Jul 2022 20:25:35
I feel your pain Spanish and it must be absolute torture playing the waiting game. I feel so blessed and lucky that i await no explanations from anyone at the moment.


3.) 14 Jul 2022 22:33:59
????
Actually
Laughing out loud here love it!


4.) 14 Jul 2022 22:49:16
I've just seen this in my defence, but how can you not win a pen. You beat your opponent with a bit of skill you win a pen? That's surely like saying rangers didn't win any matches last season, our opponents lost them all. Or I didn't win 130 quid on a coupon last night the bookies lost it ?. Strange thing to be getting upset about mate is I not? .


5.) 15 Jul 2022 10:48:09
Enjoying the exchange of view Herewego. I agree with your take on getting a penalty. But you don't get penalties just because you skillfully beat an opponent, you only get given a penalty if your opponent fouls you and the fact then is that he has CONCEDED a penalty and referee has awarded it.
If your not fouled and you get a penalty then you are cheating.
All the best to you and yours from sunny Spain.


6.) 15 Jul 2022 10:55:00
Herewego, I should say I'm not upset.

First post for a while.
Why have we given up the in swinging corners? Lots of corners yesterday, all out swingers and ZERO success, surely we should have sense to use both and stop being so predictable.
I like Stirling but he's not a winger.
Hope Hearts can get something today but I'm not sure.

Spanish John

1.) 03 Mar 2024 12:48:40
PC prefers outswingers.


2.) 03 Mar 2024 12:58:27
I think the problem is how far out of position Tav and yilmaz are if we lose possession on inswinging corners. They couldn’t be any further away from where they’re supposed to be.


3.) 03 Mar 2024 13:43:29
We have been usually inswimgers amd out swings with no luck.


4.) 03 Mar 2024 14:14:52
Alloa, it's up to our other players to be good enough to cover the space both tav and yilmaz leave the space as you say, while they're taking corners, the full backs can't be everywhere at the same time ?.

Smutton gone on holiday?
Reckon that audience with pope has done the trick.
On a serious note Hop the Luton man Tom Lockyer is OK. Wishing him AW RA BEST.

Spanish John

1.) 16 Dec 2023 18:08:45
Yes, I hope the lad is OK, and makes a full recovery. I read that this is the 2nd time he's collapsed and went through some sort of heart procedure after the first collapse.


2.) 16 Dec 2023 18:15:28
Yes that is the case, mb time to retire, life is too precious.


3.) 16 Dec 2023 18:21:09
Mr Sutton is my default pundit. How very dare you! I am sure he'll give us a well thought out and unbiased view on celtic when he stops crying and crawls out from under his bed.
Just you wait.


4.) 16 Dec 2023 18:29:58
Hi guys I've only posted once before under a different user name but I look in everyday.
Fingers crossed for Tom Lockyer hope he stays well. Life is too short.


5.) 16 Dec 2023 18:56:51
There's no way he'll play again, that's twice that's happened to him. Seems to be happening players more and more in the last few years.


6.) 16 Dec 2023 19:00:18
Best wishes to the lad.


7.) 16 Dec 2023 19:13:03
Thoughts and prayers ? with the lad lockyer and all his family and friends at this most worrying time for them all ?Hope to god there's a happy ending with lockyer, god bless ?.


8.) 16 Dec 2023 19:25:32
Was watching Final Score when it was reporting what happened, All the Best Tom Lockyer.


 

 

30 Aug 2023 15:25:20
I posted in march that were looking at Thomas Kristensen a Danish u21 central defender. Wouldn't cost a fortune and definitely be worth another look.
If we could sign him and Solbakken it would be a very good move (my opinion)
? for a win tonight.

Spanish John

 

 

22 Aug 2023 23:16:00
Good watch for neutrals (I'm not one)
Butland good can't fault for either goal.
Tav. Caught out of position so many times. poor
Goldson played well covering for Tav.
Soutar good solid performance.
Barasic not great but best we have.
Jack usual solid reliable show.
RaskIn OK but faded second half.
Jose C. will be a big player for us.
Cantwell loads of energy and good game.
Sima good goal but I'm not convinced yet.
Desser worked hard but? s remain
Matondo I've been doubtful but am not too proud to think that I could be wrong. He deserves a run of starts after tonights showing.
Lammers still?
Danillo only? Is he strong enough.
Lundstrum usual
Dowell don't know yet
Only my opinion so please don't take offence.

Spanish John

1.) 23 Aug 2023 00:28:50
Think that's a fair assessment John. Sima did next to nothing in the first half but scored a great goal. Dessers? Mmm I don't know.
Danilo should face scored. Matando looks a different player. Dowell and Lammers are average imo.


2.) 23 Aug 2023 09:09:29
I've sadly got to agree about Tav, he continually is too close to the CH's and leaves his winger with all the time in the world to get a cross in, we need to look at his situation, also that of him doing most things with set pieces, again he is out of position a lot because he thinks he should take everything. Good athlete though who has contributed a great deal to our Club, but we really need a better defensive FB, jus my opinion folks.


 

 

10 Aug 2023 09:36:01
Time for a MOAN.

Things need to change. We need to have a core of RANGERS men both on and off the park.

I'm old enough to remember the type needed. Bobby Shearer, Harold Davis, Jimmy Miller, John Greig, Tom Forsyth, Alec McDonald and John Brown. None the most gifted but all 100% every time.

Current team only Jack, Soutar and Sakala (sold) look like real RANGERS.

We have too many only here for the money or because no one else wanted them, some only using us a stepping stone for a move away. M. B. incl.

It's a poor show at home to be 2 up in 15mins. then against 10 men for last 30 mins. struggling to hang on for a result.

I know some will disagree but that's my opinion.

Spanish John

1.) 10 Aug 2023 09:56:26
You don't need "rangers men" and the fact you say sakala is a real rangers is laughable. You need players with heart n desire which I'd say most have its simply down to ability which most don't.
Totally agree with you in regards to the game last night Spanish John. That team were really poor and offered nothing of a threat but we only take a 1 goal lead into next game.


2.) 10 Aug 2023 09:58:50
Walter Smith always had the backbone off the team Scottish and a great post Spanish John ✌️.


3.) 10 Aug 2023 10:01:33
Times have changed I’m afraid.


4.) 10 Aug 2023 10:10:47
Times have changed. Any good Scottish player play in the EPL.

I'd agree that Jack and Souttar can be those player. I also think Cantwell has a bit of gusto about him and not afraid of a good tackle either.
Time will tell but fingers crossed it all comes together, soon.


5.) 10 Aug 2023 10:20:27
Times have changed and I can't think of many 'Rangers men' that could come and more importantly make a difference. There are only 1 or 2 that will bust a gut for us to get a result, the rest are going through the motions.
Servette were missing apparently 8 players? And then went down to 10 men, They've only been beat once at home since last April! They cannot be taken lightly, let's hope our game by game improvement continues.


6.) 10 Aug 2023 10:22:17
King, maybe you missed my point. Sakala ref. was not his ability but his effort and commitment was what's required to be a RANGER. Certainty not laughable. He definitely had lots of heart n desire.


7.) 10 Aug 2023 10:32:08
Perseverance with the same course of action and expecting a different outcome. Madness
I'd play roofe infront of dessers if fit dessers has nice touches but not enough and bit of a lack of movement is nt helping.
Barasic was able to bomb on and get crosses in tav was crossing from the half way line again he's caught between defending and getting forward beales system for me.
Change of formation needed this system is not helping and I'd have to say most of the players that have come in look to have something about them Contrary to some posts. The problem is beale s inflexibility to change.


8.) 10 Aug 2023 12:53:42
If we are relying on Roofe to win us games we really are in trouble, let's recall Matondo as well and really go for it.


9.) 10 Aug 2023 15:40:51
when do we stop using the excuse " it takes time to gel" time is something we don't have, pre season a few weeks training a league and european game and mb saying it takes time.

I really hope we can keep Butland, but as we all know money talks. It's a short career and if he like anyone else is offered double or more salary then he takes it, madness not to.

Re. Alfredo to Valencia. I live in Spain and haven't seen or heard anything here.
My opinion is . he would be crazy to go to Valencia as they are struggling and could well be involved in fight to avoid relegation.

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.

Complaining about penalty and 2nd yellow cards not given is a waste of time, it's history and there is no way that it will be changed. The ones who look at our grievances are of the same ilk as ones whose competence we question.
It's not the 1st time and I'm sure that it won't be the last.
