Anyone else notice our smallest player Barron marking their tallest when Sterling cleared off the line.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Dec 2025 21:48:54
scrambled we play half man mark half zonal so he might have been nearest zonal marker. didn't see that part though so just guessing.

16 Dec 2025 11:40:57
Seen that a few times over last week.
He was like a toddler trying to get a lick of the 🍦 of his da. 😂😂.

15 Dec 2025 18:52:02
Chermiti starting really? Happy to see Curtis and Sterling in the starting 11. Hopefully the wingers will create and score we know Chermiti wont.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Dec 2025 20:45:08
Chermiti showing a good few decent touches and looking okay. control and back heel pass on right touchline was excellent. lays ball off well and supports well. young lad who just needs time?

15 Dec 2025 21:49:42
How much time, Angus? ( at 10 mill mind? )

15 Dec 2025 21:54:20
Angus what about his shooting? What about never being close to the player whos kknocking it down or expecting thr 2nd ball. This lad is honkin. Did muster up a shot on target though.

15 Dec 2025 22:28:46
before I answer we won 1-0 don't you know. just in case the sleighting of one of our players gets in the way of the result.

however I heard the price was £20 million or was it £30M or was it £8 with add on. or is it that no-one really knows as the fee was not disclosed. but whatever it was, he didn't ask for it or set it.

oh and I am happy to let the club and manager decide how much time they are willing to give him. but he had a 3 year contract so until we pay him off or someone buys him he is our player.

I would also suggest he was playing as Miovski was injured and Danilo according to posts on here earlier isn't a number 9 so YC was the focal point the team had for the game. was he perfect then no but he is improving under Rohl and his lay offs and bringing players into the game was good.
sorry just pee'd off at the cheap lazy digs at our players. try to find some positives in our 8 game unbeaten league run under Rohl.

16 Dec 2025 10:24:02
OK Angus, calm down mate!
FYI I will take scrappy 1v0 wins right through till end of season, however if our 8-10 mill striker, was contributing the odd goal here and there, perhaps it would instill some confidence in the team and we could relax a bit and enjoy the rest of the season.

15 Dec 2025 07:42:01
As much as I am revelling in their woes, and loving every second of it, I urge caution.

What exactly have we done this season that has contributed to their implosion? Not one thing! We couldn't beat them at Ibrox! They knocked us out of the cup! And they're still 6 points clear of us in the league.

A tim supporting mate messaged our group last night regarding the euphoria amongst us Rangers supporters regarding their Hampden humiliation yesterday. What he said was correct. He basically said that we had fallen so far, that we are now riddled with small team mentality, where we need to rely on other clubs doing to them what we wish we could do ourselves, in order to get one-upmanship. He's not wrong, is he?

How depressing is it that we are in such a woeful state that we still can't lay a glove on them, and we need to rely on others in order to get our kicks?!

Of course, it won't stop me celebrating their demise, and laughing at their entitled fans as they implode. However, the harsh reality is that our standards as far down in the gutter, we'll jump on anything to celebrate their hurt, even though we've done the square root of sod all to contribute.

Agree4 Disagree0

15 Dec 2025 08:16:04
100% correct sunshine I also gloated to a Celtic supporting mate and his instant reply was "how many trophies have yous won in the last 14 years" and the sad fact it he's not wrong.

15 Dec 2025 08:42:42
I agree with you Sunshine. Enjoying the moment but more concerned with us. What I will say tho is I think we have much more to be positive about going forward than them. We just need to try and get thru this run of games, then January will have a massive say in who wins.

15 Dec 2025 10:33:25
Sunshine, agreed, pal.
This is the worst Old Firm I've ever seen. Just looking at our squad last week, it needs a major overhaul.
Our defense and strikers are absolutely woeful.
Hearts will never have a better chance of winning the SPL.

15 Dec 2025 11:30:44
You are correct sunshine. Let's wait until we are clear at top of the league before laughing at our rivals.

15 Dec 2025 11:41:06
They had to get us put down to the lower tiers to get one upmanship. Granted it was Murray's fault, but everyone and anyone kicked us, gave Celtic a free run of dominance. Would they have ever caught up with us in trophies had this not happened. They are there for the taking, let's go.

15 Dec 2025 11:41:42
I'll Gloat till I die, there's nothing better than Nancy Bhoys Tears.

15 Dec 2025 12:08:43
Surely in football, you take the opportunity to gloat at your biggest rivals failings no matter how poor we are ourselves?

15 Dec 2025 13:21:25
I would say everyone on this post has been gloating, MPH, and nobody is saying not to.

I was simply pointing out that even though our biggest rivals are blowing it big time, we have not contributed one bit to this. Unlike the past where we used to put them in there place, and hammer one more nail into their coffin each season, we now need to rely on others in order to get our one-upmanship over them. One-upmanship by proxy!

15 Dec 2025 13:47:55
We must gloat at any opportunity, don't know when it will come round again.

15 Dec 2025 14:33:39
Sunshine said the same thing, mate. How far have we fallen ourselves?

And we can't even use the excuse that we don't have a good squad. Look at the squads of St Mirren and St Johnstone they've both won cups in recent years. It's the mentality at our own club that's fallen. No one wants to put in the hard work anymore at Rangers.

St Mirren showed fight and desire yesterday. It proves it's not all about buying multi-million-pound players. If players don't show will, desire, and fight, they're worthless.

15 Dec 2025 14:56:57
Ssfc is it you that plays the grinch in the Asda adverts?
Seriously though you are correct that we've done nothing. However they have laughed long and hard at us and now that they are getting a bit back they don't like it.


Long may their suffering continue and we continue to hope we keep winning games.

15 Dec 2025 14:56:08
Blueness, 100% true mate. Get it up them they know the dominance is over and have no major assets anymore to sell. Swings and roundabouts let's hope we are about to start a period of dominance.

15 Dec 2025 15:15:14
100% correct ,but you can allow yourself a little smile.

15 Dec 2025 15:21:26
Ss, tbh I think your mate in wattsap group is just absolutely spewing, sour grapes. That lot enjoy our defeats as much as they enjoy there wins. I would love it if it was us that was sticking it to them, but it doesn't need to be us, as long as it's happening.

15 Dec 2025 18:45:32
I agree BB4. perhaps his mate needs to realise it isn't just all about what we do against them but how we do against others as well.

they beat us in the cup but they didn't win the cup so that result was fairly meaningless really. do they get a trophy for beating us in the semis?

at the moment we are 17/21 points in last 7 since Rohl took over and they are 15/21 in same period using last result from BR the results from the great MON and Nancy results. we are winning despite not playing well and they look like they couldn't buy a result since Nancy came in.
goodness this scrabbling around to make me feel better about our poor form is working. I hope your mate feels the same 😉.

15 Dec 2025 01:16:25
What's the thinking on January additions. Say we recruit in key areas and say 2 out of 4 hit the ground running. Ideally all would. Is it enough to give this squad a new impetus to go and push on in the league? If that mob hold on to nancy bhoy a really can't see it going any other way than south.

Hearts on the other hand have handled their position really well. Mega interesting season this where every team in the league other than Rangers the sheep n Celtic look decent n are hard to beat. It's good for Scottish football but dusnae benefit us 😅.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Dec 2025 01:59:42
2 centre backs is a must. Absolute must.

1 experienced centre mid.

2 wingers

2 strikers.

All a must.

Ideally

a left back.

Goal scoring centre mid.

15 Dec 2025 06:22:00
2 more strikers to go with the 3 we have already?

Never happening.

15 Dec 2025 07:42:22
Think it'll all depend on who moves on to be honest.

LCB and CDM are the priorities for me.

However, if Matondo and Gassama both leave, then we'll need another wide player.

15 Dec 2025 09:25:08
EHL I agree those 2 positions with experienced players are what I think we need as well. we have been needing that CDM since early Clement.
we aren't going to buy 7 players definitely without a lot of those going. 2-3 would be my guess.

15 Dec 2025 09:46:24
also we say about hitting the ground running. just was reading about Spurs-Forest game where Sean Dyche says in defence of Frank:

"You bring new players in, you don't just click your fingers with a group of players, " "They signed players you've got to re-educate in your way. "

so the rationale behind it taking time and why players need to 'settle'.

15 Dec 2025 09:50:46
I think it will almost be a 1 out, 1 in policy. position for position. don't think we will have money to splash, certainly not as much as the other half!
Fingers crossed DR has a cunning plan 😜😜.

15 Dec 2025 10:19:29
All about out going for me. Clearing wages and spaces. So many guys still on the books we actually forget about and those on the team who need to go.
Ideally

2Ch
1lb
1creative midfielder to open up defences.
2 wingers 1 each side.
1 natural. striker. Who makes runs in and around box. Darting runs. Etc ( other guys have no natural instinct. ).

15 Dec 2025 10:38:30
We need to get rid of most of the players that were bought in the summer then add to that Dowell and Matondo.
If we can move players on then we need 2 centre halves immediately and then a striker.

15 Dec 2025 11:10:14
Agree need a LCB, have never filled that since Hellander and Bassey.

A centre mid to replace Rothwell / a no6.

A creative winger is needed.
Those are my musts.

A bonus would be:

A left back would be good to at least start getting some perm defenders in.

A striker who can hold the ball up and link play.

15 Dec 2025 13:35:52
Angus I don't think we'll buy 7 players either mate.
We'll use the loan market for 2/3 of them.

Scott, as usual your on tryna get a bit out a me pal.

The answer is no. Not 2 to go with 3 we already have, I think we'll look to move 2 of our 3 on. Infact I think all 3 are up for sale and Rohl would happily move all 3 on and replace them with 2 now and 1 in summer.

We're a selling club so all are up for sale.

15 Dec 2025 14:23:55
Stevie sorry I will reword my answer. I don't think we will get 7 new players as we already have a squad of 25 or more. I think this will be more to try to get more out of the squad we have rather than replace. Unless that is we sell a few of the players who are contributing and then we would replace like for like.

if we do get rid of players such as Dowell and Matondo I don't think they will be like for like replaced.
I think/hope the days of rip it up and start again are gone. we need rot develop what we have even if that takes time.

15 Dec 2025 15:16:57
I can't see us bringing in 7 players in Jan. January is harder to get signings right than the summer. But I could be wrong.

15 Dec 2025 15:17:56
Is it not a maximum of 6 loan players you can bring in during a season? We can't be bringing in anymore loan players all our loans are poor also.

15 Dec 2025 15:19:11
Angus you could get a brick to replace Dowell an Matondo.

15 Dec 2025 16:04:04
Angus - agree about players clicking, however look at the what Le Bris has done at Sunderland. The number of players he brought in was significant and look how he's got them playing. V. Impressive. It can be done.

15 Dec 2025 16:58:31
Storm correct and because of that and the fact they haven't been playing they down really need replaced. we have enough bricks and they are cheaper.

you are correct about loans as well btw. I think it is 6 at any time though.

15 Dec 2025 18:53:21
Marco we are unbeaten in the league since Rohl came in and we have scored more goals and conceded less in a game less. so is that improvement as a team?
I agree re le Bris but look at Frank at Tottenham as the counterbalance to that. Le Bris also had a full pre-season with his squad as well to build systems and patterns of play whereas Rohl has only had a day at most between games; and he has had to get rid of all the rubbish Martin coached into them.


so I think improvement is what we are looking for and I think most would see that. just needs to get rid of all the stupid individual mistakes now.

14 Dec 2025 10:23:17
Do we believe some players know there for the off and there heads are down also anyone know why Cameron is not getting game time.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Dec 2025 11:26:21
Cameron is attempting to return from injury, he is not ready.

14 Dec 2025 13:38:07
Tore his calf twice, John posted about it yesterday, Aphelion is correct👍.

14 Dec 2025 05:54:15
Is there a chance the club will reopen any from Koppens scouting book. I remember there were meant to be a few lined up but were all scrapped by Martin and Thelwell. Have forgotten their names but I think Rehophile Mofeking was one and a lad from PSG. Are there any worth revisiting?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Dec 2025 09:24:08
Kaiser, double good news we have indeed dusted down the book of Koppen and are working on a few deals directly from the recruitment process he'd set up.

Additionally the team are following those principles and have identified a number of new targets.

14 Dec 2025 09:33:20
I hope someone photocopied every page in that book before he was shuffled out the door.

14 Dec 2025 15:16:36
Great news EHL. Here's hoping. Thanks again. 👍.

14 Dec 2025 21:51:15
Lads, I might be wrong here but I find that alarming news!

It means the recruitment people we have working for us

A) have no clue/strategy/contacts of their own

B) are admitting that the previous guy's method was better.

EHL - I may be misreading the situation (and delighted if I am).

14 Dec 2025 22:23:28
Brilliant to hear ehl as all this shopping around the English scraps clearly doesn't work for us.

14 Dec 2025 23:09:26
Athole, the recruitment strategy and process hasn't changed.

However, there is now alignment with the recruitment team and the head coach.

I don't see anything to be concerned about.

15 Dec 2025 02:48:57
From what I read all those weren't too promising either.

13 Dec 2025 21:23:35
John, very interesting reading your post regarding us possibly selling Gassama for £5million joe Rothwell for almost 500k and possibly more for whatever fees we can get 🤔 Again thanks for sharing the info John, as like most on here i appreciate you sharing this info with us 👍John, if you don't mind me asking, what's your opinion on mikey Moore mate ie.

i know we've absolutely no chance of signing this talented young boy permanently, but do you think there's a chance we could get him on another season long loan deal, after this season's loan deal finishes, at the end of this season 🤔I would love this myself and this would be the very best we can hope for regarding keeping mikey Moore beyond this season 🙏.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Dec 2025 21:44:11
Coops I was thinking this as well.

It would probably be in spurs best interest to loan him again.

Hopefully if he continues to prove his worth we can persuade them to trust us with him next season and we actually see the best of him.

13 Dec 2025 22:41:46
Like Cerny and Sima and Amad! These guys don't hang around, enjoy when he's here.

14 Dec 2025 08:51:01
Mikey Moore a good young player who won't make it to the very top, might get a few England caps but won't get as many as 25.

14 Dec 2025 13:29:27
John surely Mikey Moore has already made it to the top as he is playing for Rangers 😉.

14 Dec 2025 18:12:03
Angus sadly that is no longer a barometer.

13 Dec 2025 19:46:50
Tav123 Gassama hardly setting the heater on fire another players that's shows 2 mins of something and Rangers fans think they have a world beater. The amount of players since the Gerrard era our fans have bummed up to be a lot better than they are I'd criminal.

And this Gassama is no different boy has done nothing for months. And like the Rest won't be hard to replace with a decent scouting system.

Agree5 Disagree0

13 Dec 2025 21:17:29
Good post stew.

13 Dec 2025 21:25:56
em slightly confused, why is this post aimed at me?

13 Dec 2025 22:26:31
Tav probably because you are a fan who looks at things with a positive outlook.

13 Dec 2025 22:33:31
could well be angus 🤣 i've not mentioned Gassama today or in a few weeks to my knowledge so not sure what he's talking about.

good post stew.

13 Dec 2025 23:38:54
apart from my reply to John which was asking if Rangers want to sell or he wants away but still not sure what i've got to do with anything 🤷‍♂️.

14 Dec 2025 09:04:29
could be your name is Tav and he gets blamed for everything else 😂.

13 Dec 2025 17:24:56
What about Mohammed Daramy as an upgrade on Gassamma?

Agree3 Disagree0

13 Dec 2025 22:43:27
Aph has he not been injured for most of the season and only played twice. I will bow to your better knowledge of Scandi players but worried about recent injury history.

13 Dec 2025 23:29:01
I answered on the other post my friend but adding to that response i would say that i would agree that it would be a huge gamble, but the long term injury is possibly the only reason why he is within our scope.

14 Dec 2025 09:05:40
cheers as I know the stats don't always give all the detail. I didn't look at his form before the injury but just thought that it is sometimes better to let them show they have recovered first. so perhaps one for the summer once he has done that.

14 Dec 2025 10:48:48
You may be right Angus, personally i would take the gamble in January before bigger teams get to see he is less of a risk.
Maybe even manage to offload Cortes in the opposite direction.
