Rangers banter 2

25 Feb 2026 17:03:34
Reading barry Ferguson's column in this morning's Daily Record is superb reading and gives an insight to any outsider what this Old Firm double header means to baz and all us true Rangers supporters, he describes it passionately and superbly well 👌 His words jump out at you and make you feel absolutely proud and privileged to support an institution like the famous Glasgow Rangers 👌🇬🇧Baz is a proper Glasgow ranger and he absolutely adores Rangers and you can almost feel his words 🥊He knows what it means and takes and the fight for the cause to send every bear home ecstatic on sunday afternoon 🥊Git intae them 🥊🇬🇧

25 Feb 2026 17:32:39
SWS, very confident about the game on Sunday, mate.

25 Feb 2026 17:33:13
SWS, I wonder who ghosted it for him?

25 Feb 2026 17:42:24
I've heard that Keith Jackson has been known to lend a helping hand, Thornton.

25 Feb 2026 18:10:02
Beale, I'm also very confident. Most confident I've been in many, many years.

I fancy us to win by a few goals.

25 Feb 2026 18:31:51
It seems when we go to games overconfident, we fail to produce, i.e. Livi. I hope we come out with the fight and desire to win a derby, and probably kill off their chances of winning the league.

25 Feb 2026 18:37:13
We should all be aware that Old Firm games can swing on a moment or decision, and no matter how far in front any team is "favourite wise", anything can and may happen. We need to be aggressive from minute one, and thereafter I will take what comes our way - under Mon (however poor they have been), they will not be a pushover in any way, and they have been, over the course as a club, much more regularly than us.

A wee look back at last weekend shows what we cannot do. IMHO.

25 Feb 2026 18:47:05
It's an Old Firm game, and anything can happen. I wouldn't be underestimating them. It's about opinions, but I'm not confident after some of the recent results, and I fear if we go in with the same back four, it could go pear-shaped.
O'Neil will have them fired up and fighting for everything, so only a very good, all-round performance will do.

25 Feb 2026 18:52:19
Last two league games at Ibrox, 5-1 and 4-2. That is why I'm confident. Hearts are a better team than the one we face on Sunday.

25 Feb 2026 18:52:25
Correct, Blue, and good post.

25 Feb 2026 19:01:00
Take our chances, we win and win well. Go for it from the off, and Ibrox will be bouncing.

25 Feb 2026 19:13:29
I would take a win with the ball bouncing off Charmitis Arse.
I just have a feeling it is going to be a very tight game.

25 Feb 2026 19:36:05
No harm in being confident without being overconfident. 🤔 I'm quietly confident we'll beat them 3-1 on Sunday. 👍 🇬🇧

25 Feb 2026 19:49:09
Some people never learn. 🤯

25 Feb 2026 20:03:31
I'm confident, as I'll always back Rangers to win at Ibrox, no matter who it is, whether that's when we've played in Europe recently or domestically. Whether we win or not, we'll have to wait till Sunday.

26 Feb 2026 08:20:06
Not confident of anything with this Rangers team. I'd take a punt that Schmeichel will have a blinder.

26 Feb 2026 08:34:50
Fork, what are we needing to learn, mate?

26 Feb 2026 08:55:24
I'm not convinced at all tbh. Call me negative, but we went down twice against an under-strength Hearts at home, then battled back to win. We went down 2-0 to Livi, came back for a draw. We go down against the soap dodgers, I can't see us pulling it back.


We have built our recovery on defence, knowing our attack has been underwhelming. We're back to leaking goals. Thoughts are, we will need to play above anything we have this season to win.

26 Feb 2026 09:11:31
Assuming that a victory is a given, and predicting scores is best left unsaid. See what happens, as u know it never goes the way you think it will. By all means, be confident, but be cautious, so stop asking silly questions. 😉🤣👍

26 Feb 2026 09:19:01
Yep, even in our glory years they could pull off the unthinkable. Sunday will be tough, and there are no clear favourites in my mind. Usual cliches: whoever wants it most, and luck / VAR on the day.

26 Feb 2026 09:21:25
Firk, never read anyone assuming it's a guaranteed victory, mate. Just very confident of beating this bang average Celtic team.

26 Feb 2026 09:26:49
Correct Broste. 👍

26 Feb 2026 09:40:52
Some have predicted scores. By definition, that's an assumption of victory. I never said anything about guarantees.

26 Feb 2026 09:45:55
Fork, cool mate. My score prediction: Rangers 4 Celtic 1, Chermiti double.

26 Feb 2026 09:51:08
Lol, you're bonkers. 😉🤣🤣👍

26 Feb 2026 09:52:43
Tbh I hope you're right, but think it'll be tighter, bud. 👍

26 Feb 2026 10:05:12
Fork, I am the same. Whenever I see a big victory predicted, I just think of what it is going to be like on here when it doesn't happen, and then cringe. The same score was being predicted at Livi, and look how that happened. Setting ourselves up for a big fall.


For me, all I ever want is a good performance first and foremost, with everyone giving their all. If we do that, then good results tend to follow. I would, as someone else said, accept a 1-0 win in the last minute off someone's backside.

26 Feb 2026 10:10:31
Bang average Celtic side that are 2
points behind us with a game in hand must mean we are bang average as well. 🤦‍♂️ Embarrassing, really.

We may well win on Sunday, but anytime we are confident we bottle it.

Everyone was confident of beating Livi; what happened there?

I get what you are meaning, Fork. Problem is, they won't ever learn. They think they are always right, even when they are barely ever. 👍

26 Feb 2026 10:14:10
Fork, tell me something I don't know, mate. 😁😁😁 We don't be that rubbish, we don't deserve any league, never been this confident since the game at Celtic Park. 😉

26 Feb 2026 10:18:03
Angus, any fan is happy with 1-0, mate.

26 Feb 2026 13:51:47
Does fans' confidence have an impact on what the players do on the day?

26 Feb 2026 15:37:16
Strom, you are correct.

The false negativity emanating from the opposition is ramping up.

Sutton coming out and saying he can't see Celtic winning.

McGregor bemoaning the ongoing clash of Club with fans.

O'Neil having a complete melt down over VAR.

Don't fall for all this crap, Rangers - they will be right up for this game, as should we.

26 Feb 2026 15:40:05
Gd Q Tav. 👍

26 Feb 2026 16:47:02
What is far more embarrassing is not thinking this is a bang-average Celtic team.

26 Feb 2026 17:39:40
Who doesn't think they are bang average? All teams in Scotland are bang average. 🤦‍♂️ It's embarrassing to think otherwise.

You just won't admit Rangers are.

I will tell you who aren't bang average: Bodo Glimt, that's who. 😳

25 Feb 2026 15:53:15
Could manuel neaur be the blockbuster signing to blow Scottish football away?

Seen someone suggesting his name last night n this morning I remembered the blockbuster signing story.

25 Feb 2026 16:12:25
He's nearly 40 now. He's been a great keeper, but I don't think it'd blow Scottish football away. He's probably still on huge wages, though.

25 Feb 2026 16:14:16
Stevie, he is 39 and has had a couple of muscle injuries this season. I think if we did sign him, then we would see the same decline as Schmeichel very quickly.

25 Feb 2026 17:55:26
That wouldn't blow anything away.

25 Feb 2026 18:11:09
I didn't realise he is 39, guys, although I did think 36-37.

K, I'm not blown away either, Storm, but thought perhaps that's the out of contract player; he's German after all, those were all the clues.

25 Feb 2026 18:14:43
Agreed, Angus. Spot on.

25 Feb 2026 19:43:15
Stevie G, I named the player, never said German, said a ch.

25 Feb 2026 20:00:12
I believe the player named previously is Danilio Doehki.

25 Feb 2026 20:35:03
John, name the secret guy. It was played in Germany, not that he was German, and it's who Goram says it was.

John, are we still trying to get him? And, are we still trying to sign any other out of contract players?

25 Feb 2026 21:09:22
According to John, we made an offer to Martin Boyle in the summer lol.

25 Feb 2026 21:29:57
Storm, all I know is he has not signed for anyone else at this point.

Borna, get it right. I said we were interested in him. Reality would have been a better signing than Antman, Gassama and Matondo.
But your point is well made. I keep my info to myself.

25 Feb 2026 21:34:42
John, I wasn't just referring to your tip. Maybe I should've made that clear there, sorry.

There were many rumours flying around, not just on this site.

Perhaps I've been mixed up.

I doubt he'd come here. He'll likely go to Saudi.

25 Feb 2026 22:21:48
Borna, how do you know we didn't have interest or make an offer. All we know as a fact now is that he didn't come to us. That fact doesn't mean the other rumour didn't happen. Lol. Happy for you to provide evidence to shut that down though. Is that tumbleweed. 😉

26 Feb 2026 10:11:31
Borna, that's a good one. Wrong, but a good one.

26 Feb 2026 12:38:53
No, John, I guarantee you said we have had an offer for Martin Boyle rejected by Boyle. Go and look at your own post. To say Martin Boyle's signing would be more successful than Gassama's, you do not have a clue. Boyle, on the other hand?

26 Feb 2026 13:29:45
Borna, your opinion re quality, I have mine.

Stevie, I wrote at the time I would be stunned if Doehki came to Scotland. He rejected our league before he went to Germany.

26 Feb 2026 15:22:54
Yeah, John, I'd be surprised as well, mate. Last time I read his name he was linked with Aston Villa, mate.

26 Feb 2026 17:41:21
Aw, wee Borna Bear, jealous of John. 😬

26 Feb 2026 21:33:50
Storm, can you enlighten me re jealous?

25 Feb 2026 14:59:23
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 27 - Quick Round Up

25 Feb 2026 13:29:53
I can't call the game on Sunday form out window what form anyway?
I don't think any fan can call it. A lot of Rangers fans say they are rotten which maybe true but what are we then? Because they have a game in hand and at the moment it's 2 points we are a head. So going by that the same fans must think we are rotten as well.

You can't come with the excuse of Russel Martin as they had Nancy in for a period as well.

All I do know is Sunday is a must win. Unless Hearts get beat (doubtful) then a draw isn't acceptable but it would still be a point gained.

A loss on Sunday then it's goodnight Vienna IMO.

25 Feb 2026 13:57:40
Very valid points.

25 Feb 2026 14:07:03
Rangers need to beat a Celtic team missing Johnstone, Vickers, Trusty, Engels, and Jota. It's a must-win, especially at Ibrox.

25 Feb 2026 14:09:24
Can anyone confirm that the mob have to be in the ground an hour before kick-off, and if the barrier will be up on Sunday?
Cheers. 🇬🇧

25 Feb 2026 14:15:35
Wouldn't have minded Engles and Trusty playing, Wear. When Celtic lose, will that mean their league is finished then?

25 Feb 2026 14:21:05
If Celtic lose on Sunday, I don't think they can win the league, so yes, it would be imo even though they do have a game in hand.

25 Feb 2026 14:21:33
Just for the sake of argument on the excuse, Nancy made a disaster of a winning squad, whereas Martin left Rohl a mess of one, so a bit different. We need a win, I agree, but there are going to be lots of points dropped, so I still don't think it's going to be done if we don't do it.

25 Feb 2026 14:22:30
Should be up, Bee, as it's a league game. 👍

25 Feb 2026 14:25:54
Agreed - it's a must win.

4 points dropped from 6 against Motherwell, and Livi have made a win essential.

25 Feb 2026 14:26:53
I'd say no Star because if they win against Aberdeen they will still only be 2 points behind us. They also have us and Hearts at home after the split. It's a must-win for us, though.

It really depends on what Hearts do now, because I can't see Rangers or Celtic win anymore than 7 out of the last 10. I honestly see both drawing at least 3 more games each. It's Hearts to lose now imo.

25 Feb 2026 14:32:05
I'm looking for three in a row at Celtic Park, Wear. Can see Celtic struggling against Aberdeen as well. It definitely looks like O'Neill's fortune is running out, and it's the right time.

25 Feb 2026 14:39:16
It's imperative we win.
It's nothing to do with Celtic; it's more that we need to keep the pressure on Hearts.
We can say it's only 4 points, but we have missed numerous chances to close it further in recent weeks.


As for the game itself, I suppose it depends on what version of Rangers turns up.
The one that beat Hearts, or the one that dropped points to 10-man Motherwell and Livi.

25 Feb 2026 14:44:19
A win against them and a Hearts win would hopefully put the nail in Celtic's coffin. 9 points is a lot to make up, with 10 to play, plus goal difference.

25 Feb 2026 14:50:34
Think we will win and we really need to, but it's the other teams, especially away from home, that gives me the fear.

25 Feb 2026 14:54:44
I actually fancied us for the league, but the performances against Hibs, Motherwell, and Livingston reminded me of 2 seasons ago. Tav causes chaos in our backline, Souttar adds to that chaos, and when you have a backline like that, nothing is safe.

Even in the Kilmarnock game, Tav nearly caused us to go down to 10 men with slack play. He could easily have got a 2nd yellow in that game. Time will tell.

25 Feb 2026 15:15:11
Back to Tav bashing, I see.

25 Feb 2026 15:17:21
Home advantage will be massive this Sunday. ✌️🇬🇧

25 Feb 2026 15:33:12
Kaiser, I know it's different, but if they didn't bring Nancy in, O'Neill was on a roll at that point at Celtic, and they would have been out of sight by now. Just my opinion. So, I think Nancy being appointed has had the same impact as Martin had on us.

25 Feb 2026 15:39:31
Trevor Steven, Tav has been terrible lately. No bashing, just the truth.

25 Feb 2026 15:42:28
They definitely threw us a lifeline with that mistake.

25 Feb 2026 15:43:47
All I'm going to add to your post, Storm, is that this, for me, will decide if Rohl has what it takes to be a Rangers manager!

Before I get the usual responses, I'll clarify. I mean, in how he sets us up, team selection, tactics, etc., as this is now a huge game for him, especially after our poor away results and the pressure piled on by how poor Celtic are lately, and them missing a fair few key players too.

25 Feb 2026 16:09:01
If Hearts win on Saturday, then I think Storm's right. Whoever loses on Sunday won't win it, not because the points difference would be too much as such, but because both Rangers and Celtic will drop more points in the last 9 games, so it would need a real Hearts collapse to allow the loser back in.

25 Feb 2026 17:00:50
What about Hearts' result away to Hibs? Did they not get beat? What about Hearts' result away to Motherwell; did they not draw? What about Celtic's result away to Hibs? Did they not get beat? What about Celtic's result away to Motherwell; did they not get beat? So why does us drawing against those teams mean we can't win the league?

25 Feb 2026 17:49:43
Because Hearts aren't 4 points behind, Tav.
We had an opportunity to close the gap further and blew it twice against 10 men.

25 Feb 2026 18:27:47
It's not bashing to say that we are weaker at the back with him and Souttar as part of a back four. That was similar to how it was in the past, and when Rohl came in we had to go to a back five to try and shore it up. With injuries, I don't think it is the worst idea to go back to that to try and get clean sheets again.

We are capable of scoring, but at the minute the defence gives me the fear.
He would play Sterling if fit, but he is not, so let's see what team he picks on Sunday.
They have all the analysis nowadays to study past games, and losing four goals in the last two games is not good.

25 Feb 2026 18:38:26
We are... How did Tavernier cause chaos in the back line versus Hibs when he never played in the game? He was a sub but never came off the bench. Chaos that led to a 0-0 draw. 🙈
You must have watched all those games really closely, so don't think I will take your opinion on this if you can't even get which games he played in right.


As has been said, it's just an excuse for Tav bashing because you think it will get support.

25 Feb 2026 18:55:58
Yeah, we did, MPH, but we still have a chance to win the league, do we not?

25 Feb 2026 19:16:23
Agreed, Angus. 👍

25 Feb 2026 20:31:50
Tav, are you ok? What the hell is that? Celtic got beat by Hibs at home, just to correct you, not away.

Also, who says we can't win the league right at this min? Maybe you need to read the posts again. 🤣 What a meltdown.

Are people not allowed to have a different opinion to you? That's all it is. No one can say their opinion is right or wrong. Calm down.

I won't repeat what MPH said, as that explains it, and you still don't seem to understand that opinion. 👍

26 Feb 2026 09:47:26
Never said a thing about Hibs away. We got a clean sheet in that match, so no chaos in that match from the back line. Wait, who wasn't playing that game, did you say?

26 Feb 2026 10:09:00
To be fair to Tav, he was just highlighting the fact that results against Hibs and Motherwell away weren't as bad as the unhappy clappers make out. I can see where he's coming from. Hibs have beaten Hearts and Celtic, and Motherwell humbled Celtic. I think Motherwell will have the biggest say in who wins the league.

26 Feb 2026 12:22:51
"Unhappy Clappers" that a thing now? 😉 😄

26 Feb 2026 13:42:03
Just a wee play on words, Fork, pal, trying to keep it light-hearted.

26 Feb 2026 15:48:21
I wasn't disagreeing with MPH and whose opinion did I say was wrong?

You seem to say people are allowed an opinion when it suits you. And, btw, you, multiple times over the course of this season, have said we won't win the league, and anybody who thinks that is an idiot.

At least some people are consistent on this site, as Angus said before, you're very inconsistent.

26 Feb 2026 15:59:19
Bazbear. 👍

25 Feb 2026 12:01:25
I recently saw an image of the programme for Wolves v Rangers in April 1961. This was a famous result from a great Rangers team (Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow etc.), clinching a place for us in the European Cup Winners Cup final.

The programme gave the teams' strips as follows: Wolves – gold shirts, black knickers; Rangers – blue shirts, white knickers. It seemed like such an odd wording. Thinking ahead to Sunday's game, I hope it's not brown knickers.

25 Feb 2026 12:59:30
Lol that's plenty. 👍🤣

25 Feb 2026 15:16:24
That's just pants. 🙄

25 Feb 2026 15:19:35
I was at the Wolves at Molineaux, and the thing that sticks out in my mind was Ritchie's wonder save.

25 Feb 2026 15:37:22
You're maybe even older than me then, Whatsmy. Wish I'd been there.

25 Feb 2026 15:42:27
It really was some team: Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Davis, Paterson, Baxter, Wilson, McMillan, Scott, Brand and Hume. The one I couldn't remember was Bobby Hume. I had to Google him. Shame about the final.

25 Feb 2026 16:25:25
Always feel McMillan doesn't get the credit due for how good a player he was. The Wee Prime Minister could take control of a game.

25 Feb 2026 17:39:55
Yes, I'm old, Zero, lol.

25 Feb 2026 22:26:37
Think it is a throwback to the knee-length shorts, which were called knickerbockers, and were just shortened.

25 Feb 2026 10:12:07
JFM i hope you are well and I wish you the very best for the future.
I do think the essence of your last post to be a very valid one and I think I am going to take your inspiration.

I don't really bring anything to the forum other than divisiveness.
And Rangers do not need more divisions in the support and the Edd's don't need more arguments and divisions on the site.

I think it may be time for me to refocus and talk solely about my club.
The site is a little more agreeable when I don't give my opinions on Rangers.

I have felt that I have built many bridges with posters none more so than JFM and Steviegnew.
Truth is there are so many great posters, great gentlemen.

I don't want to waste anymore of the Edd's time with posts about my own club and nation but I am also acutely aware that my posts on Rangers cause division to that I apologise unreservedly.

I hope Danny and the boys can win this league and bring the feel good factor back. And Edd's I hope Liverpool can reignite there challenge in Europe and at home.

Until then thanks for having me.

Skål 🔥🇳🇴

Seriously, I'd just stay and annoy the 💩 out of them, bud. Say what u want, everybody else does. Don't blame u, tbh. A few twisted people on here, and they can't wait to pounce. Just watch the here we go again posts. Embarrassing. Take care, bud. I enjoyed your posts, warts and all. 👍

25 Feb 2026 10:46:00
Aphelion, you take care, mate.

25 Feb 2026 10:48:58
Fork, I could not ignore your response.

Thank you very much for your kindness, my friend, but this decision is entirely for the benefit of our amazing Edd's.

I could not care about people's opinions of me anymore, but I do feel the Edd's deserve better.

I hope you keep up the good fight.

25 Feb 2026 10:56:34
I will. All the best, my friend. 👍 🇧🇻 🏴

25 Feb 2026 10:58:48
I don't see division, argumentative etc. from anyone.
I see healthy debate from knowledgeable posters with differing opinions.
I personally don't really care how some see me, as I don't know them.


I don't post to be loved. I share an opinion which, rightly or wrongly, is my thoughts at the time.
And the same debates I have on here, I have with mates, work colleagues, etc.

25 Feb 2026 11:00:29
Good luck in future, Aphelion. ✌️ 🇬🇧

25 Feb 2026 11:07:32
I for one disagree with quite a number of the things you post, Aph, but that doesn't mean I don't value your opinion.

TBH, I disagree with a lot of the stuff I read on here, but let's not forget we are also here to educate each other on the opinions of all Rangers fans.


On this note, I hope you keep posting. I find your posts interesting, unique, and original. I honestly don't believe for one minute we will all stop being divisive if you stop posting. But, whatever path you take, good luck, and hopefully we will hear from you sooner rather than later.

25 Feb 2026 11:16:27
JFM, I know your health isn't great, added to the serious crash you were in.

Honestly, after seeing the carnage and state of your car, you were lucky to escape that one.

Take care, you know where we all are. We might not agree all the time, but you've always stood out as a stand up poster.

25 Feb 2026 11:29:59
Was it you that drove by it, SS? Mind, JFM posted the state of the car, the axle was clean off it with the wheels too. Lucky guy.

25 Feb 2026 11:31:17
Don't know why so many take the huff on here. It's called Rangers banter, not Rangers; let's agree with each other.

25 Feb 2026 11:37:03
Apologies for any part I may have played, mate. It was not my intention, but in fact quite the opposite. After another day of needless digs, I didn't want another, which I probably expressed wrongly.

I generally enjoy your posts. Post what u like, same as everyone else. I just didn't see the need to bring up old arguments that there has been fallout from before, but that's just me.

25 Feb 2026 11:37:27
Don't know why u change your name so much also, one of life's mysteries. 😉 😄

25 Feb 2026 11:45:34
No name change, new poster who you don't agree with. Just stroll past, or block me. That would do me a favour also.

25 Feb 2026 11:56:46
Firstly, I haven't disagreed with you yet, let alone conversed with you. You seem to be latching on to Star, who, in fairness, has a name-changing stalker who displays a similar approach to yours.

Others have noticed; I believe a poster told you to say hello to Marko84 yesterday, so I'm not alone in that respect.
Apologies if I'm way off base, and if you are new, then welcome.

25 Feb 2026 11:59:29
I hope you reconsider, Aphelion, as, undoubtedly, imo, you're one of the best posters on here, and this site wouldn't be the same without you, pal. ☹️ If you do indeed stop posting on this site, I wish you and all your family and friends all the very best of health in the world.

Take care, but don't be a stranger. 🙏 We're all here for one another. 🙏

25 Feb 2026 12:10:47
I'm not latching on to Star, my opinion is different to his on many issues.

25 Feb 2026 12:16:02
Aph, I enjoy your posts and, of course, agree/disagree as people do with each other.

You have my admiration and gratitude for your defence of my grandfather's homeland in previous debates.

Hope to see you back posting on all things Rangers soon.

25 Feb 2026 12:20:56
Fork, maybe you did get it wrong, mate, but we won't be long in finding out.

25 Feb 2026 12:25:50
No probs, then enjoy.

25 Feb 2026 12:38:16
One or the other, tbf. It's the other one I was initially thinking. I think Angus thought I was talking about an alcoholic drink. 😉 Angus had his doubts about the other. The hunt goes on. 🤣👍

25 Feb 2026 12:45:50
Aph, just rise above it. Continue to post what you want. A lot of us enjoy your contribution to the site.

25 Feb 2026 12:58:32
Fork, it was me who thought We are Rangers was the next manifestation of Marko84 (a play on Celtic's first sponsorship in that year). We are Rangers then appears immediately after that, and the first thing he does is attach his different opinion to Star.

If he isn't Coldo, then we will know, as he will stay and continue to play an active part, which I hope he does. BlueDNA was the other, and I hadn't seen his post, so I thought you were suggesting I had been drinking, which I hadn't at that point.

25 Feb 2026 13:04:46
Aphe, I hope you change your mind and post again soon. If it helps, I can be even more argumentative (yes it is possible) and deflect more attention from you. Eds are football fans, and will know how every set of fans are passionate about their club. If anyone steps out of line, then they will hold them to account.
So, you know, your talk about Brann and Norwegian football used to annoy me a little, but more recently I have tried to engage with it more and actually enjoy it now.


Like MPH says, post your opinion; let others disagree and continue that healthy debate.
Just hope that you and JFM are back on soon, as the more variety of opinions we have the healthier the debate is.

{Ed001's Note - I don't get the issue with being divisive. If everyone agreed there would be nothing to talk about.}

25 Feb 2026 13:22:50
I did drive past it, Fork. The car was totalled and in bits.

JFM was lucky he wasn't seriously injured or worse. All because of another idiot on our roads. As adults, we should always be grown-up enough not to take things so personally.

25 Feb 2026 13:31:22
Correct Ed - it's about debate. 🤔
The only divisiveness would be if you take things too seriously and to heart.
Aph, so shrug things off, bud, and flick your middle finger at posts that annoy you, and keep on giving. 👍
As Big Arnie says "I'll be back" and, hopefully, you will be too - for every good guy on here there will be a f***y to counteract them, but that is almost basically the same in the real world.

The phrase "good guy, good guy, w***" comes to mind. 😉 😉 😉 😁

25 Feb 2026 13:35:51
Aphe, you know me, and you agree most of the time on things, but, as I have always said, post whatever you want. That is what this site is all about. If we all had the same opinion, then we all wouldn't be here. So I hope you reconsider.

25 Feb 2026 13:38:56
Wow, so I've only really been popping into live chats lately due to IRL stuff and not been able to get on as much.

Seriously though, guys, some of you really need to stop and think "am I really cut out to post on here?" This is the internet, and with that comes trolls, differing opinions, and people who just want to argue for the sake of it, as anonymity encourages said behaviour!

I encourage all members to post whatever they want regarding all things Rangers, whether past or present, but just be prepared that not everyone will agree, and that's okay.

Aph, I have always enjoyed reading your take on players, and you offer a different view to myself and many others on here, but seriously, just get thicker skin and don't be so sensitive to people who don't agree. We are meant to be adults and not bickering school children!

That being said, I do hope you decide to stay and have your own unique input, as many on here enjoy interacting with you. 👍👍

25 Feb 2026 13:44:27
Sorry, but if you can't take people disagreeing with you this is not the site for you. It happens all the time, and is what makes the site. If we all agreed, it would be pointless. It's all about healthy debate and opinions. All the best.

25 Feb 2026 14:08:52
When you first came on, Aph, you were seen more as a visitor to the site and were treated a wee bit differently as a result.

But at some point you definitely became one of us, and at that point I believe the tone did change. I had a wee chuckle to myself when I realised you were now "one of us", as getting pelters on here is like a rite of passage.

We all have our ups and downs, not to forget our spectacular hissy fits, but all the guys on here add to debate in their own way.

It would not be worth coming here without all the posters.

The site has been a catharsis for a lot of us during a really difficult period being a Ger, and I am thankful to all on here, especially the Eds.

You'll be back on in a few weeks, buddy. Once you clear your head, you won't be able to resist and will be welcomed back with open arms and probably some more pelters.

WATP and so are you!

25 Feb 2026 14:27:00
Aye I mind you saying that at the time bud, was a drug driver too. 👍

25 Feb 2026 15:12:44
Cheers, Ed. 👍

25 Feb 2026 15:38:28
Don't understand the need to tell everyone the reason for leaving. Just stop posting jf you are not happy with site. Eds police it well, so there is no nasty stuff. So grow up, or just skip past posts you don't like.

25 Feb 2026 16:31:05
Aphelion, I hope you reconsider because I and many others enjoy your posts. I'm sure the Eds are able to deal with everything, and your insights into football from your side of the North Sea are very helpful.

Please stay, mate.

25 Feb 2026 16:55:59
Just to make one thing crystal clear, me stepping back is me doing what I feel is best for the Edd's.

I couldn't care about people disagreeing but I can't even say negative things about Celtic on a Rangers forum without a pile-on.

The Edd's deserve better and I know they will have less arguments littering their pages by me not posting.

Nothing about having thin skin it's purely about having respect.

25 Feb 2026 18:20:43
Aphe, hope u are ready to enjoy a good upset and see your 1st team win and progress today.

Divisiveness is what makes this site worthwhile.
I'll tell u this: if we all agreed, I wouldn't even come on the site. I'd maybe nosey for player transfers during windows, but I wouldn't bother commenting.



The fact we all disagree at times is what makes the site great.

I know you'll be back when you're ready.

Simply because the site is great, that's the reason you and all of us don't stay away for long.

We shall speak to u soon, mate. Take care.

25 Feb 2026 17:53:48
Aphe u were reason I came back on here.

U r correct I was stunned the individuals backing Celtic and giving u stick

The Ed's did not post my original response, in hindsight they were correct. How sad it is that Rangers supporters back them over an excellent poster

25 Feb 2026 18:10:10
If its just about the Eds there might as well not be a site because half of the stuff is different viewpoints and disagreements. If they aren't having a problem with things being said like Ed said above then keep posting what u like even if we don't agree.

25 Feb 2026 18:49:05
John, I was only putting my point over, I was choosing no-one over Aphelion.

25 Feb 2026 18:51:17
I have clearly read the room wrong with the Edd's.
My last few posts there have been pile-ons and then I felt I annoyed the Edd's by attempting to post things relating to my own club.

Stevie I have limited my posts recently and I think that may be the best way forward.
I have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations recently and I am glad we have moved on from the past.

John I appreciate that my friend and I will always be around to converse with you.
As I have said I thought that I was becoming a nuisance to the Edd's and I believed they deserved better.

25 Feb 2026 19:01:24
Okay I was trying to be respectful with my response but seriously you'd be best staying off the site as you are just a sensitive wee soul who is obviously putting posts up so many people can tell you to stay etc., as I've lost count how many times now I've seen similar posts from you.

Talking about respect and such for the Edds, if they had an issue they will do as they normally do and not sanction replies as many of us reply in the heat of the moment.

Always enjoyed your input but seriously it is getting tiring, the Edds even added an ignore function so use it on the people you don't want to interact if instead of making a mountain out of a mole hill every time!

25 Feb 2026 19:30:12
See you in a few days, Asa. 👍🏻

25 Feb 2026 19:30:23
For example, your good self and L-Mac enjoy chatting about Hertha and German football.

Ed001 loves Liverpool, Ed033 is a wizard. 😉 Coops loves Newcastle, Stars is a Mackem, you're involved with Brann and Norwegian football.

If u want to talk about them, do it, bud.

Everyone else does it for their other teams, and people engage as you're a bluenose too. Lots of guys like your take on players we need to research.

If you were a pain, the Eds would say you're not, so post away n be damned n give as gd a you get, bud. Take no. 💩 👍🤣🤣🤣

25 Feb 2026 19:36:57
See you again, Asa, in 2-3 weeks. 👍 Same as last time.

25 Feb 2026 20:02:49
It was never about defending Celtic over a good poster, John, as I have already tried to explain, as well as apologise for, so I'll leave it now. Aphelion, for what it's worth, I hope u continue posting as u seem to be doing. 👍

25 Feb 2026 20:12:40
What's this nonsense about? I've not been posting much for a number of reasons, but still enjoy coming on & having a look. I very much enjoy Aphe's posts & have found them informative & thought provoking over the years.

25 Feb 2026 20:42:03
Alph,
Just use the Ignore feature and it will be like your own WhatsApp group with all your friends that agree with your opinion. 🤣
Seriously though, I've always enjoyed your unique insight, so please don't Ignore me.

🤣
Post if and when you wish, Alph. If you need a break, just have a break and come back refreshed.
Post as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

25 Feb 2026 21:41:58
Aphe, likewise, bro. Life's too short to bicker and argue or to hold silly online grudges. We're all here for the same reason, love for Rangers. That's all that matters.

There's not a single poster on this site who doesn't add value to it. Not 1. I include people I've argued with in the past, or maybe who don't like me at present, but I'm sure they'd agree the same: we all add value and make this what it is.

I've been on other teams' sites on this same platform, and they don't come close to what we have.

25 Feb 2026 22:40:57
Aph, mate, I would keep posting TBH unless you really feel the need to leave. I think, at times when people reply to posts that you or any other poster posts and the answers are negative, sometimes it can hit a bit hard. But I would soldier on, mate. You give good info and, believe you me, you bring much more info than I ever have.

Honestly, I've never supplied one bit of info, just opinions. 👍

The thing for me is that no matter how anyone is involved in Rangers, we are all fans, and the context of the stuff on here is taken as fans disagreeing, no matter who you are, what you do or where you're from. 👍

25 Feb 2026 08:58:54
New day so new start hopefully more positive. Storm I get your concern (down the pages somewhere) about Ross County and blowing it before, but difference this time is we were leading it in a 2 horse race then and threw it away under PC. We've never had a lead this time and it's a 4 way battle with a lot to play for, for each team.

Few imagined we'd be in the race at this point. Done incredible to be in a position where some have had us favourites again. Trying to fight back from so far behind is always going to be a hard test with setbacks.

25 Feb 2026 11:50:06
Agreed, Kaiser, I don't think we are favourites, but the fact we are in there with a good shout is unreal given where we were (2nd bottom at 1 stage?).
Let's hope we can take the next step & go on a 5, 6 game unbeaten run (or more) at this decisive stage in the season.

25 Feb 2026 13:07:31
I agree 100%, and also wouldn't see any disgrace in not getting across the line now after dragging ourselves back into it. I see this as another step in our climb back to the top. If that summit is another season away, I wouldn't be totally happy, but I feel closer to having that dream at the top when we get there.

We are more than capable of going on that 5- or 6-game winning streak, but I am equally as likely to draw with the bottom team. Consistency will come.

25 Feb 2026 13:39:40
Kaiser, due to the fact 3-4 teams are now involved, that would make it even harder this time, and even more chance of failing. It's just past trauma; as Rangers fans, most of us have PTSD. 😁

Angus, it wouldn't be a disgrace as such, but it would be another sickening blow for Rangers fans if we don't get it over the line.

We have been starved of success for so long. We all crave it.
I also think, if we don't get it over the line, the knives may come out for Rohl, which I would totally disagree with, but I can see it happening, unfortunately.

25 Feb 2026 14:28:11
Partly my point, Storm. (Perhaps not that well made.) It's much harder this time round, so I wouldn't view it as blowing it like we did before. Hopefully fans will bear that in mind and remember that, if we can't quite pull off the incredible recovery.

25 Feb 2026 15:36:22
I picked you up wrong then, Kaiser. I thought you meant it was easier. 🤣

25 Feb 2026 16:18:49
Seems I'm not putting much across very well at the moment, Storm. 😂😂

25 Feb 2026 16:37:58
We noticed. 👀😉🤣👍

25 Feb 2026 17:11:24
Maybe need ut help with diplomacy skills as well as explaining my posts, Fork. At least some agreed, so what does that say? 😂😜

25 Feb 2026 17:18:21
Storm, I see the point and hope it doesn't finish in a campaign to get Rohl out. We then have to go through it all again next year with a new coach and a new system of play. It's the closest we've been and not finished yet, granted.

25 Feb 2026 17:44:02
Correct, Angus. We only progress further with a pre-season under Rohl. Look at the change of direction in months under him. Ripping that up would be bonkers, mate.

25 Feb 2026 18:06:33
I've a hard enough time understanding my own posts, Kaiser. 😉😄👍

24 Feb 2026 21:59:16
I honestly believe that players who think they maybe going to the world cup will not go all in so as not to risk injury.

Thoughts troops?

24 Feb 2026 22:57:02
I wouldn't think so, if anything they'll be wanting to cement their places in the squads. No better way to do that than to have a big impact and win some trophies in the lead up to said World Cup.

Players like Raskin or Souttar probably will be included but aren't dead certs to be included and they'll 100% want to make sure they're on those planes imo.

24 Feb 2026 23:22:15
White. I think it would be the opposite unless you're a stone waller 2 be going and none of our players are that.

25 Feb 2026 06:57:57
Tav and Carson, I get where you are coming from, but if you have played well for your nation, which Raskin and Sotty have, do the managers look at fitness or how they have played in the SPL. Bear in mind, it's a different level of football.

25 Feb 2026 07:33:51
Just an excuse for players playing badly and underperforming. Do you think any of the Bodo players were thinking of the WC when knocking out Inter last night?

25 Feb 2026 07:41:37
Maybe the Inter Milan players were, though. 😉

I think they are more likely to get injured pulling out of tackles than making them.

25 Feb 2026 08:00:47
I think we've more players who aren't nailed on for their country, so it could work the other way: they need to impress for us in the next couple of months if they want in.

25 Feb 2026 08:58:49
I think only player at Rangers cert to go to WC is Souttar. Clark will take him. Hanley, Tierney fit or not.

Raskin has a chance.
Barron a no.
Asgard, I'd be surprised.

Kelly touch and go.
If Denmark qualify, Olsen will go.

25 Feb 2026 09:06:03
John, maybe that explains Skov Olsen's inept performances. ✌️ 🤕 🇬🇧

25 Feb 2026 09:19:20
There's no way I'm buying that. John Souttar gave away 2 shocking free kicks that led to Livingston scoring 2 goals. Absolutely no way that's him thinking of the WC. We have a losing mentality in our fan base these days because of the last 12 years of failure.

Ed how do I ignore other posters?

{Ed033's Note - You go to the My Profile page and enter usernames one per line in the appropriate text box and tap submit. If the usernames stay in the text box after tapping submit, they are ignored on the main pages on this site.

25 Feb 2026 10:47:21
I've said for the past few weeks that Raskin isn't giving his all and looks like he's holding back with one eye on the summer.

25 Feb 2026 10:54:55
Ows, if Raskin doesn't give it his all, there's a good chance he won't be at the World Cup, mate. He's been getting back on form lately.

25 Feb 2026 11:07:34
People judging Olsen after what, 3-4 games? Mind-blowing. 🤦🏼‍♂️

25 Feb 2026 11:16:14
Agreed, G4. Never kicked a ball for a while. Let's see what he does in the remaining months of the season.

25 Feb 2026 11:39:27
Olsen is getting paid a very handsome wage to be a game changer. If he wasn't ready to be a starter, he shouldn't have been signed on those wages. I'd much prefer a proper CB on high wages than an ineffective winger. I honestly hope Antman and Berjami start on Sunday.

25 Feb 2026 12:08:53
WeareRangers. Sima started poorly at the beginning of his loan spell, as did Cerny, and they turned out to be good loan signings. Give the guy a chance, and it doesn't matter how much you're paid; you aren't getting match fit based on your salary.

25 Feb 2026 12:17:24
If he wasn't fit enough to start, he shouldn't have been signed, G4. We needed a good January, and he was seen as the game changer signing. What's the point of him coming good at the start of April when the league might be gone already?

25 Feb 2026 12:43:25
Get your point, We, but we would have known it could take him a few games to get up to speed, as he hadn't featured much for his past club. Remember watching him for Brugge a couple of years back, and he looked quicker and more dynamic.

No doubt he's got talent, but does look like he's a bit short of confidence.
Let's hope he has one or two moments at the weekend, because he is capable, and that's what Rohl would have been hoping for when we brought him in.

25 Feb 2026 12:51:11
Maybe part of the thinking was to: 1. get him for this season, and 2. secure him for next season. Just because he hasn't hit the ground running in 4 matches doesn't mean he won't be a good player in the long term.

25 Feb 2026 13:16:17
In fairness, I think he has been steady when most might have thought he would be spectacular. He isn't the sort of player to fly past FBs and cross. But in 5 games (279 minutes), when he is trying to get used to the club and new teammates, he has 1 goal and 1 assist, with an 88% pass success rate, 3 out of 5 dribbles successful, 11 key passes, and has only been dispossessed once, so he retains possession when he gets it.


That is when he hasn't played since October. Sometimes we make signings because the timing is right rather than when a player is 100% fit. He will get better at just the right time for the run in vs top 6 imo.

25 Feb 2026 13:41:15
Form, I think you are correct about that guy. 😬

25 Feb 2026 13:51:25
Raskin may not have been on it for a few games, but he's far from not trying. He is always wanting the ball and covering the ground. I think playing three midfielders, even in 4-2-2-2, with himself or Dio in the two behind the two strikers, alongside Moore, you might see more from him. Not having the 'not trying' though.

25 Feb 2026 15:25:59
I think he's telling porkies, Storm. 👍

25 Feb 2026 17:07:46
Star, you judged Olsen before he signed. You said you weren't impressed with his last two seasons. Now you are saying that we shouldn't judge after 4 games. 🤦‍♂️

25 Feb 2026 19:09:41
You're definitely 🪃. Yes, that's the reason he needs longer than 4 games; he's only played a couple of hundred minutes.

25 Feb 2026 19:16:23
It was more a concern about his wage anyway.

25 Feb 2026 19:22:07
So what's the difference between you judging him before he has played with us and people judging him after 4 games?

24 Feb 2026 21:43:56
I am posting this well aware this may result in a few upset responses.

Now as a very important point, I rarely watch clubs that aren't Rangers but the wife went to bed early tonight so I decided to watch Aberdeen and see how Lyall Cameron is getting on.

Now to the main point, I can see exactly why Cameron wasn't getting game time and why he was sent on loan. The lad seems to resist any defensive duties after the press is broken. Almost cost Aberdeen the game with a half hearted attempt to block a cross in the final minutes. Had a few decent touches and passes but overall extremely ineffective.

An additional note is the pitch was absolutely rotten. More sand and dirt than grass. So I'm aware this may be extremely harsh but I've heard nothing about him since his loan move which in itself suggests he's not done much but I may be wrong and willingly will stand corrected.

24 Feb 2026 23:07:16
Ayrshire, he got MOTM on his debut, but since then I haven't heard how he's doing.

24 Feb 2026 23:27:40
Yeah, I think that was the last thing I heard about him as well, Davie.

24 Feb 2026 23:28:36
Haven't watched them much, but from what I've heard, they've been really pleased with him so far. Maybe just an off night, that and the rest of the team is mince.

25 Feb 2026 04:09:56
He's out on loan getting minutes. He will come back a better player.

Even with his current form, he would still offer more than some of the current squad.

25 Feb 2026 06:28:16
He's had 2 MOTM's since signing. Having watched a few of the games, and with no disrespect, I think that's his level. He's an average player in a poor Aberdeen team.

Completely agree with Ayrshire.

He doesn't seem to have much discipline when it comes to defensive duties, which may tie in with some comments made by Rohl earlier.

He wouldn't offer us any more than anyone in the current squad in his position.

25 Feb 2026 07:42:07
I honestly can see his move to the sheep becoming permanent, I don't think he's rated at Rangers.

25 Feb 2026 08:54:40
I do not believe Cameron has a future at Rangers.

25 Feb 2026 09:05:51
I genuinely thought he'd be good for us, but he hasn't kicked on, really, and is obviously not impressing enough to convince coaches to keep him. We threw the dice on a good young Scot. It doesn't always work, but we should keep doing it.

25 Feb 2026 09:27:45
I hope he can turn things round, John and Baz, but I tend to agree. He hasn't really grasped the chance he had. Still, the right thing is to explore the best potential young Scots, and see how they do. Glad, at the same time, he hasn't just been left rotting.

25 Feb 2026 09:46:49
I don't see Aberdeen paying up for him, so I reckon another loan next season, perhaps south of the border or to a European league, would be better for him. He needs to play in a team where he isn't expected to track back and, maybe with a bit more space and time, he could show more.



I honestly don't think he's a better option than Bajrami, Dio, Chukwuani, Raskin, or even Aasgaard, so he's never getting into that team. I expect he will be sold or loaned out again.

25 Feb 2026 10:00:33
Gassama is exactly the same at Rangers, yet somehow gets plenty of game time.

25 Feb 2026 11:16:07
Bit harsh, given that you've only watched one game. Surely people aren't that quick to judge, especially on a rotten pitch.

No one is saying Cameron is Messi or the savior of Rangers, but the lad certainly has talent and looked good in most games for us.


Then again, there are fans that don't rate Barron or Butland etc., so there literally is no pleasing some people.

25 Feb 2026 11:36:28
Ally, my opinion is based on playing and training for Rangers.

25 Feb 2026 13:19:04
You can't watch one game and write him off. After they beat Motherwell in the cup, he was getting rave reviews. Does that make him great and say we must take him back? No, because again it's only one game.

I don't know what will happen with him and if he has a future, but I hope he gets a chance pre season to show what he can do before a final decision is made.
