Awe, please no, if this happens the season is well and truly done after 2 games. Absolute pump.

12 Aug 2026 10:56:55
It's fake.

12 Aug 2026 11:06:03
Nonsense.

12 Aug 2026 11:39:57
Fake news! However, when it comes to comparing Tav to McCrorrie, it's not even close. Tav is, has been, and always will be, a hundred times better than McCrorrie will ever be.

12 Aug 2026 11:58:40
Good for a chuckle.

An excellent experience watching the b team last night.
Young Aiden Mcallion run the game from start to finish. Really impressed with him.
Lawson was a stand out the first 45 minutes too, direct with great movement.

Having been involved against many of the b teams I feel they two have an excellent chance of progressing. Nsio did the same a few years ago and I've always hoped he would be a part of our midfield one day.

12 Aug 2026 11:22:32
I would love to see one or two develop from the academy, we need to show a route from there to the first team, if we are to attract top talent.

12 Aug 2026 12:01:58
Getting the academy pathway to the first team right - and it is looking more positive than it has for a long time - is essential for both football and financial reasons.

You only have to look at Robbie Ure as an example of not offering that clear pathway.

12 Aug 2026 08:21:54
Morning troops, try to have the best day you possibly can today, as Rangers play again tomorrow 🫣

12 Aug 2026 09:40:29
Can't see us winning tomorrow night.

12 Aug 2026 09:58:31
BB, I'm thinking with the addition of the new guys.
Vanja Dragojevic
Olwethu Makhanya
Daisuke Yokota

And, with a few more coming in,

At last I can see some positivity.

I think we will finally have the strong team I had hoped for.

The addition of Couhaib Driouech means we should expect another LB, RWB, and striker, and with any luck another winger for the flanks.

We will have a good, solid team mate.



Think we're going to have a wee busy period coming up, players in/ out.

I'm definitely feeling more optimistic now, thankfully.

So games at the moment take one at a time, try get points on the board.

When the team is finally finished and the window closed, think we will see a different Rangers on the park.

That's my thoughts and hopes mate. 💙

12 Aug 2026 10:07:00
Stig, a fully fit team, I don't think we look too bad, it's more about lack of quality in depth and lack of creativity in mf.

Also, lack of urgency to sign the players we clearly need in certain positions.

Pandur
Sterling
Godfrey
Makhanya
Rommens

Raskin
Dragojevic
Asgard

Yakota
Chermiti
Driouch

That's not a bad team mate with a rb of quality and a creative mf instead of Raskin ie Dahl.

That's a very good team.

Throw in a more experienced cb for Makhanya and suddenly we ain't so bad mate.

12 Aug 2026 10:17:56
I've bet BTTS again with the hope and pray we score, sad times.

12 Aug 2026 10:20:27
Never seen it busier, Thestigno1.

Nsiala - will move once we have another defender in, most likely permanent. He is actively talking to a few teams overseas.
Macausland - has a permanent deal all but sorted, he will definitely be moving shortly.
Cameron - Wants a permanent deal away, but we want him to go out on another SPL loan.
Miovski - has an offer on the table from what I've heard.
Barron - has one really good offer that I know of on the table and a lot of overseas interest, we are looking for a decent fee.


Souttar - Delay tactics to try and get our price down imo.
Sterling - Has a couple active options, looking likely he will leave.
Aasgaard - Has serious interest from more than one club.
Raskin - Has a deal lined up, and lots of other interested clubs, case of who blinks first here imo.

The club mentioned yesterday 3-5 players coming in, but I feel we may see more than that number come in, specifically if Aasgaard and Sterling move on, as these are players I was told were players we were counting on as part of this year.

12 Aug 2026 10:42:55
Good post, AR32.

It's finally going in right direction and think we're going to have a good team and we will finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

Id also say to everyone to give McInnes some slack whilst there is still a lot of moving parts.



He will come good and we will have a team we all recognise.

Come on the Rangers. 💙💙

12 Aug 2026 10:46:09
SirStruth, Fear no foe!

12 Aug 2026 11:05:13
Can't say am looking forward to tomorrow's game. Might feel differently when at the match, but heart is sunk. 🤕🫣🇬🇧

12 Aug 2026 11:39:55
Regardless of what team he puts out, let's all get there and support McInnes and the team. Let's make some noise from start to finish. We are Rangers Football Club WATP.

12 Aug 2026 12:02:23
Really hope all these guys do get their moves away, otherwise stuck with a load of players who don't really want to be at the club. I know people say their pros, we pay their wages etc, but in reality they just go through the motions and are not committed to the badge.

12 Aug 2026 07:55:09
Morning troops.
The following is very apt to both sides of a players ability.
Never craw too crouse.🔴⚪️🔵

12 Aug 2026 09:33:08
Mph, we should have this as an ongoing feature, Mph quote of the day.

12 Aug 2026 12:04:51
Tatties get softer under pressure, but eggs get harder.
Be an egg, not a tattie. 😂

11 Aug 2026 22:32:15
Oh John, EHL and co .

What's happening down at 1DG? 😉

I didn't see anyone when munching my Bircher Museli and almond croissant this morning. OJ was top notch though. 😂

12 Aug 2026 08:50:18
Apart from players signed staying there, we have another three rooms reserved. Gazza.

12 Aug 2026 09:40:07
Any names or positions, John? Thanks for the info! It's appreciated.

11 Aug 2026 22:30:30
Our friends across the city have added another possible £9 million signing to their front line. Are they buying wisely and maybe we're buying desperately?

12 Aug 2026 06:25:48
Their recruitment seems based on quality, unfortunately.

12 Aug 2026 06:57:45
They've still got Jota to come back as well Jim. It looks like we missed our chance last season to win the title sadly.

12 Aug 2026 07:25:34
Unfortunately, they have a more stable and established way of doing things, and obviously more money to spend on better quality players. Until we stop doing rebuild after rebuild, we're just hoping to get lucky with our signings at the moment.

12 Aug 2026 07:27:21
Yep, looking that way, Dado ☹️. They're signing World Cup stars, we're back shopping in the EFL.

12 Aug 2026 07:53:43
This Hassan that they are signing has a decent World Cup. Club football last season 0 goals and 3 assists. Hopefully he continues that form for them this season.

12 Aug 2026 07:58:47
Gaza, we need a baseline first. The difference is they've bought established players, we've bought players who need to settle and grow.
Once the team settles and we are winning again, the pressure goes onto them. As toxic as some sections of our fans are, theirs are worse.
We are 2-3 players and a bit of luck away from putting pressure on.

12 Aug 2026 08:00:11
One thing's for sure, if we keep sacking managers, we'll never have a solid base to build from.

Every year, sack, re-build, struggle. Sack.

12 Aug 2026 08:55:00
I think we're having trouble enticing our first choice players to actually sign.

12 Aug 2026 08:56:10
It's our recruitment team that should be sacked.

12 Aug 2026 08:56:47
Athole, I understand that. I didn't want Clement gone or Rohl.

I'm not looking for anyone to be sacked. Far from it!

12 Aug 2026 09:24:56
Mcc, so who from the recruitment team do u want sacked?

12 Aug 2026 09:38:41
They are building from a more solid team. They do not need a full rebuild every season, which puts us under pressure from the off. Wouldn't be panty wetting on their signings right enough just because they might be 10 million signings. If we had bought that winger, the majority would be going off their nut at his stats.

12 Aug 2026 09:44:36
The biggest problem is defence is our weakest part of the team this season and their strike force is pretty scary in relative terms.

They're going to wipe the floor with us, unfortunately, this season.

12 Aug 2026 09:53:20
We all know fine well the corruption in Scottish football, so unless Rangers are absolute humping teams every weekend, then we will never win the league.

The corruption is as blatant and obvious as it's ever been.

Sorry, but no one can tell me any different.

12 Aug 2026 10:03:29
They sign a couple of players from league about par with ours & all of a sudden they are going to wipe floor with us.
Nice to see some confidence in McInnes & players, maybe true, but at least give him more than 4 games.

12 Aug 2026 10:14:48
Jasp, they're the defending champions who won the double.

They've just spent £30m on a new frontline and they're not done yet.

Martindale Oneil is the manager, and if he didn't leave last season the point gap doesn't bear thinking about.

That's why I think they'll win the floor with us, oh yeah, and they're already 5 ots ahead as well.



In a head to head, our defence against that strike core would be an embarrassment.

I back the manager, it's the recruiting that's made an arse of it, mate.

12 Aug 2026 11:30:53
John, looking at whom we've brought in, them all, mate, imo.

11 Aug 2026 21:27:10
Could we have a poll please eds on left back signing

Penrice or Meghoma

{Ed033's Note -


Left Back poll

11 Aug 2026 22:04:26
Do we end up with both?

11 Aug 2026 22:16:18
I really like Penrice.

He has a great engine and has a left peg similar to that of Barasic.

He also takes very good corners.

11 Aug 2026 22:26:45
Rumours page now saying Penrice probably won't be coming after AEK increased fee. Would have preferred him.

11 Aug 2026 22:33:01
I'd rather we signed Josh Doig.

11 Aug 2026 23:41:11
I don't understand the obsession with Penrice.
Meghoma is 20, loads of improvement can be made. Penrice is 27 and probably peaked. Yes, it's for a back up, but I don't see it.

12 Aug 2026 00:00:14
Superalloy, that improvement is for Brentford though not us.

Meghoma isn't that good a player tbh, Penrice will give u better numbers in the season.

Livi, I'd rather that if it was an option, but believe. Would cost EUR6m minimum for Doig.

12 Aug 2026 06:13:45
Stevie G, what you basing that on, cause it ain't last season as Meghoma has better numbers!

12 Aug 2026 06:33:55
Superally, James Penrice in football terms has still got his 4 year peak years in front of him. 🤔
Peak years in football terms is between 28-32 years old. 🤔 We need signings that can go right into our starting 11 now, mate, and James Penrice for me can absolutely do that because like I've said all along imo there's nothing between Penrice and Rommens. In fact, Penrice is not as injury prone.

🤔 I'm not saying Jaydon Meghoma will not be a good left back once he gets consistency in his game as he gets older, and the young man has shown in a few games for us, he's a good left back who'll improve further, but for the here and now it's James Penrice, hands down for me and we should have signed him a good few years ago imo. 🤔 🇬🇧

12 Aug 2026 07:10:56
Sp players in their 30 are in peak years, can't agree with that.

12 Aug 2026 08:02:32
John, it's always been a football saying that your peak years in football are between 28-32 years old. I honestly would have thought you would have heard that saying. 🤔

12 Aug 2026 08:13:06
Livi, I would rather drive a Range Rover Sport than a Honda, but that ain't happening either.

12 Aug 2026 08:34:44
They're not in their peak years at 32. I'd have thought, and I'm sure I read it 25 to 29. At 32 you're on the decline! I'm also sure you peak for speed around 26. Individual players will vary though, depending on genetics, nutrition, lifestyle etc.

It's not 32 though to fit your argument for Penrice who's a good LB and will be fine in the SPFL at 32, cause the standard is chronic.

12 Aug 2026 08:51:58
Depends on body type, diet and wear & tear imo. I would say 25 - 30 is standard. Penrice would be a good signing.

12 Aug 2026 09:45:33
8gazza8, I'm shocked at that.

12 Aug 2026 10:00:59
I just don't get this Penrice obsession. Yes he can deliver a ball with his left foot but he is a FB and we like our defenders to defend. Last season he was at Hearts, they were 7th and lost more goals than we did. Before that at Livingstone, who weren't great defensively either. So only FB who played in Scotland who has mentality to play for club is Greg Taylor and that ain't happening.

So Meghoma would be good back up as he knows the league and was nowhere near as bad as remembered for a 19 year old. Perhaps if same leeway was given to him as is given to Moore then the views would be different. 19 yo in a poor defence had little chance.

12 Aug 2026 10:05:37
Ok, I'm lying, only making that up. 😡 When I was playing the game many moons ago now, and even in my adult early life, the peak years in a footballer were gauged between 28-32 years old. That's it now, for those who disagree, move on and give it a rest. 😡

12 Aug 2026 10:16:18
You were an elite footballer now, Walter, who played at the levels of the players we're talking about? There is a reason many play football late into their 30's at a junior, amateur or Sunday league level, and very few at the pro level. You're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't make it right. Now take your own advice.

12 Aug 2026 10:16:20
Peak years are different, er, for any position, if, say, fullback, about 27-30.

12 Aug 2026 10:24:51
Maybe for a GK or CB, SWS, there's no chance a winger / full back's peak is near the end of their career. Could possibly argue an out and out Striker's peak is 28-32 along with GK / CB, but not for a wide forward or a number 10 role either.

Apologies for disagreeing, it's a good debate.

No malice intended from me, or others, by the way, I've read the comments.

Wingers and Full-backs: Ages 24-27.

Central Midfielders and Strikers: Ages 26-30.

Centre-backs and Goalkeepers: Ages 28-33+.
