Rangers banter 3

Rangers B playing Gala tonight. Currently 3-0 up.

Refreshing to watch a Rangers team play without fear.

Meghoma and Djiga back in on loan sure why not!

11 Aug 2026 20:41:15
Worked out great last year!

11 Aug 2026 20:47:14
I'd take Djiga back, no bother at all. Martin destroyed his confidence. Come back towards end of the year thought after a run of games he really grew into the jersey, was excellent for a run of games.

11 Aug 2026 21:23:36
I'd take Djiga.

11 Aug 2026 22:29:55
I actually liked Djiga, but I think it was the Motherwell game at end of season. We lost the game, league good as gone and he was having a laugh on the pitch with a Motherwell player. It didn't hurt one but.

That's why I would struggle with him back.

11 Aug 2026 22:48:15
He had a good start for a few games, then fell off a cliff. He came back from AFCON and played excellent, then fell off a cliff again.

11 Aug 2026 19:16:42
With Chermiti signing a 4 year contract last September, and an ACL taking the majority of the season to recover from, we could potentially lose him for £0.

He'll be 2 years in by the time he's training again, and will then have to prove himself again next season. It's not always something players come back from and are exactly the same.

Hoping the sporting department have a new deal lined up for him to sign, can't see us getting any £20M+ bids for him with 1 year left on a deal and coming back from an ACL.

11 Aug 2026 19:39:47
The luck we have regarding injuries with players is absolutely insane.

11 Aug 2026 19:45:39
So, with 2 years left on his deal, how would we lose him for zero? There's no chance, no, the club will let any big assets leave for zero.

11 Aug 2026 19:52:40
He's young enough to recover but let's see how he is after his op.

11 Aug 2026 20:04:26
Can you not do the math, Peter?

4 year deal. 1 year in. 1 year to recover. 1 year to get back to match fitness. Can't see him signing a new deal if he can guarantee a free transfer and higher wages.

11 Aug 2026 20:07:31
Are you serious? Take a breath, mate, and drop the dramatics. 🤣

11 Aug 2026 20:12:39
Sunshine was just a question. I couldn't care if we have him or not, as long as we have a decent striker.

Everyone on here seems to want to jump down posters' throats. Give your head a wobble, Sunshine.

11 Aug 2026 20:15:59
Nah, I'm fine as I am, bud. 😁

11 Aug 2026 20:19:11
Need to drop the dramatics then.

11 Aug 2026 20:27:28
Ak7, or he could have an amazing 1st 6 months back and get sold in the Jan with 18 months remaining on contract.

11 Aug 2026 20:32:09
Definitely could have a good 1st 6 months and be sold in January. At that point, 18 months left, we might get £20M?

Or could always be another Ryan Kent? £7M+ down the drain.

11 Aug 2026 20:41:12
Things change fast in football, sadly. Let's hope he has a speedy recovery. I share your concerns, AK7.

11 Aug 2026 20:41:51
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stop digging, mate!

11 Aug 2026 20:58:53
Digging what, Sunshine?

11 Aug 2026 21:32:50
It wasn't a question, though, mate, it was a statement, and it won't take him a year to get back to full fitness. Jesus wept.

11 Aug 2026 21:44:41
Strom, an ACL will be at least 9 months out, which is the full season. Even if he gets back in April, what kind of fitness will he have?

I don't understand why everyone gets their knickers in a twist for people posting to a banter forum. Any reason you're so annoyed, Strom?

11 Aug 2026 22:15:21
What about the one year option.

11 Aug 2026 22:15:44
So comes back in April/May. Straight into a preseason, so regaining fitness will never be an issue. Signs a year extension to allow club to make money on him.

11 Aug 2026 22:22:37
All hypothetical folks. Which is why I posted.

Didn't know about the option, John. Team option to make it 5? Does he end up on better terms in that case?

11 Aug 2026 22:22:39
Why are we worrying about things that haven't even happened?

11 Aug 2026 22:41:11
Probably could negotiate more wages, AK7. I had thoughts along those lines, mate, not about losing him for nothing, but about how long it would take to see him back at his best. He has only had one season in a top flight league. It took him a few months before we seen his best.

For him to be out for what could be a year, possibly, really sets his development back, as I thought he could really kick on this year. So yeah, that was my thoughts, however long he'd be out, how long before back to fitness, then how long before we see his best? Really feel for the boy.

11 Aug 2026 19:04:08
Jayden effing Meghoma.

Turn the lights out. Absolutely hilarious if true

11 Aug 2026 19:56:28
Guys, this patter turn the lights off 'get a f*****g
grip eh. 👎😡

11 Aug 2026 20:24:26
Coops is annoyed.

11 Aug 2026 20:25:35
You think it's a good move, Coops?

If this is where we are shopping, then the phrase I used is apt. How is Meghoma going to help us? We've already seen him up close and what he brought to our team, hee haw.

So, turn the lights out is perfectly acceptable patter if that is the calibre of player we aspire to.



You know I don't actually mean let's give up and shut up shop. It's only a phrase to indicate the lack of thought and ambition if that's who we're after.

11 Aug 2026 20:36:14
It's bad enough, we can't scout and sign good players, but signing one who was poor all last season, it's just nuts and would confirm just how far our club fallen.

11 Aug 2026 20:52:14
What I will say for cover, it's not the worst move regarding Meghoma, and he knows the club, having been here for a season. 🤔 Still young and definitely had good games for us as well as not so good games, which is a feature of young players making their way.

🤔 My preference would undoubtedly be James Penrice, and I honestly think I'd have him as our left back, even in front of Rommens. 🤔 I've always thought we should have signed him even when he was at Livingston. 🤔

11 Aug 2026 21:03:09
If we're going for guys like Meghoma again, that means he's not getting game time *hint right there).

11 Aug 2026 21:31:27
Laudrup, he's only 19 and not currently good enough for playing in the best league. Meghoma isn't nearly as bad as some are making him out. He'll have a good career, I'd prefer signing a lb though.

11 Aug 2026 21:32:21
We won't get an option on him is what I'm meaning. Loan with buy option I'd prefer.

11 Aug 2026 21:33:24
I agree with the Penrice part, Coops.

11 Aug 2026 18:21:12
This transfer window has been awful. And I'm wondering why Jim Gillespie said we'd be signing quality. Meghoma and Ryan One are squad players. What happened to Penrice?

Chermiti's and Rommens' injury obviously has them panicking. I don't even understand what they're trying to do. So our backup to Penrice was Meghoma?

11 Aug 2026 18:35:16
I don't know about panicking and there is still a lot of time in the window to make good choices rather than quick ones.

Rommens injury is always a possible early in the season. Chermiti injury cannot be anticipated.

11 Aug 2026 18:47:14
I'm really starting to worry, if Raskin is sold, how the money is going to be blown by this recruitment team.

11 Aug 2026 19:00:29
Blue89, I'm with u mate.

This is starting to look an absolute shambles, the recruitment dept is having a shocking summer.

11 Aug 2026 19:20:41
Why are they having a shocker because they never signed Ferguson or Dahl, you do realise the 2 of them alone would have possibly cost us £27m. How were they to know Chermiti and Rommens were going to get injured? There's still plenty of time to get players in, which they seem to be doing.

11 Aug 2026 19:33:46
Dahl was a no brainer G4. But, instead, we go for 3 midfielders that can't create or score, and we've not even been linked with any midfielder who can.

11 Aug 2026 19:58:22
No Blue, we went for 2 wingers instead of Dahl, which we absolutely needed more, mate, Daisuke Yokota and now hopefully Couhaib Driouech. 🤔

11 Aug 2026 19:58:47
Maybe at £6m, Blue89, but he went for £10m. No way were we paying that for a 20 year old prospect.

11 Aug 2026 20:16:07
Blue, maybe that's what McInnes wanted. I find it hard to believe that the recruitment department wanted/scouted Dahl since January & potentially longer to then decide to not sign him after 1 bid.

What happened to Penrice? He's not available, Celtic enquired & got told he wasn't for sale.

I doubt he'll be as good as people make out for us. Meghoma isn't fantastic, but done fine last season imo, will get better too.

11 Aug 2026 20:22:05
He never said anything about Dahl or Fergi here. They're having a shocker because just about every player we've signed is a downgrade. We were crying out for defenders, and had to play 2 back up RBs in Europe, for a LB because we only had one, and now he's injured.

For creative players and wingers, and still hardly have any. We had the chance to sell a player for big money to fund new players, but now it's too late. Aye sure they're doing a grand job. 👏👏👏

11 Aug 2026 20:54:36
G4, we paid £10m for a 20yo prospect the year before in Chermiti, so your reasoning is laughable.

Kaiser, exactly mate, thank u.

11 Aug 2026 20:55:05
The 2 wingers are definitely upgrades for me.

11 Aug 2026 21:04:33
Ok, Stevie, if you say so.

11 Aug 2026 21:04:52
Knowing our f***ing luck Dahl would've got injured with this curse of a club.

11 Aug 2026 21:19:42
We've only signed 1 winger so far. Yokota hopefully is an upgrade, but wouldn't be hard and we have literally no one else.

11 Aug 2026 21:41:52
Stevie, everyone was up in arms about that signing though. Or is it all ok now.

11 Aug 2026 22:51:27
G4, not me saying so, bud. That's what we paid for him.

So, for u to say we won't pay it in euros when we previously paid it in £s is not correct.

Dahl had more apps, goals and assists than Chermiti did as well, and he's a m***, so again doesn't add up.



Yes, we chose not to do it, but not for the reasons u say.

11 Aug 2026 22:52:42
Geesa, I think on the whole you'd have to say yes, all is ok now.
Lad was clearly worth it. He more than earned his fee last year.
We almost trebled our money on him if stories are correct.

11 Aug 2026 17:34:48
So Chermiti out, Miovski heading out the door, Rommens injured, Godfrey injured, Souttar heading out

So what do we need now.
1x New LB with Sterling or McCrorie covering them until Rommens return

1 x CB with the same to covering until Godfrey back.
1 x RB as starter.
1 or 2 x wingers.
1 x No 10
2 x CF

Am I missing anything?
Any youth guys who could step in?

11 Aug 2026 19:21:55
And that's more than the 3 to 5 our owner said only yesterday.

11 Aug 2026 16:48:56
Ryan one linked 😭

11 Aug 2026 18:26:47
RR just posted that Ryan One is not on our list of targets.

11 Aug 2026 19:14:10
Thank God.
