Rangers banter 4

11 Aug 2026 16:18:55
Would like us to sign Tawanda Maswanhise

11 Aug 2026 17:51:08
Gvb, I also would like him in.

He and Curtis can both play on both sides, with Daisuke Yokota mostly always right and Couhaib Driouech mostly left. Gives plenty of versatile options.

Maswanhise can also play through the middle. He's one I'd go for.

11 Aug 2026 17:52:17
Been wanting him a Rangers player for ages now, GvB, but can't see it happening.

11 Aug 2026 18:15:44
He doesn't want to stay in Scotland, been that way since January when Celtic enquired about him, & plus Motherwell want more if it's to us or Celtic.

11 Aug 2026 15:44:20
If indeed Rommens is injured and I know Chermiti has done his ACL, Fernandrs was feeling his groin at the end of the Hibs game. What do you see as our starting line up on Thursday?

11 Aug 2026 16:18:18
Get Penrice for lb and another striker is a must. Feel for the big lad.

11 Aug 2026 16:27:56
We can't play new signings on Thursday.

11 Aug 2026 16:39:07
No idea if all these are fit or no. If Rommens and Fernandez both out, I'd go 433

Pander
Mcrorie Makhanya Souttar Sterling
Raskin Aasgaard Devlin
Yokota Miovski Gassama.

11 Aug 2026 16:43:43
Souttar not in squad, mate.

11 Aug 2026 16:49:05
If Fernandez plays:

GK - Pandur
Defence - McRorie, Fernandez, Makhanya, Sterling
Midfield - Gassama, Raskin, Drago, Yokota
Forward - Naderi, Shankland

If Fernandez doesn't play:

GK - Pandur
Defence - McRorie, Drago, Makhanya, Sterling
Midfield - Gassama, Raskin, Devlin, Yokota
Forward - Naderi, Shankland.

11 Aug 2026 16:54:59
Didn't know that, cheers, Wishy.

11 Aug 2026 17:05:07
No point crying about it, let's get one in that actually scores.

11 Aug 2026 17:33:47
Meghoma back in on loan is the latest to fill for Rommens.

11 Aug 2026 17:44:27
Hope Meghoma stuff is nonsense, not good enough, get Penrice in.

11 Aug 2026 17:48:00
I would say these injuries are unbelievable at this time of season, but we just have absolutely no luck, and for whatever reason it feels like our injury list is always sizeable.

Two starters out already, when we already needed more players and real quality added.

We better stop any of the young lads going out on loan as they might very well be needed this season.

11 Aug 2026 17:52:52
I'm also hearing the Meghoma rumour. It's got legs this one.

11 Aug 2026 18:28:08
Definitely ground hog day, it'll Tav next. What are Purdy & Therwell Jnr roles at the club?

11 Aug 2026 14:50:13
What do we think about the 49ers comments on Castore??? Very scathing. I await its the only deal that was available, but an 8 year deal

11 Aug 2026 15:48:00
Yatrley in busy, it's a very very poor deal to sign.

I think it will cost us to get out of it if at all.

11 Aug 2026 16:03:58
John, the majority of big teams that joined Castore have left early, Newcastle & Villa, and I wonder the penalty release. ✌️

11 Aug 2026 16:17:42
Maybe just get our players to complain of the quality of the strips leading to poor performance on the park. Think Villa done it that way. 🤷🏼‍♂️

11 Aug 2026 16:31:46
Yateley, that is the question. I understand none signed an 8 year deal.

11 Aug 2026 16:49:10
What's your own take on our Castore/Umbro kit deal/merchandise deal, John? Do you think we'll change kit manufacturers before the deal is due to run out. 🤔

11 Aug 2026 17:06:12
No, we won't.

11 Aug 2026 18:02:20
John, Yately or whoever, how much would the club lose if the supporters never bought the new tops?

11 Aug 2026 19:27:34
Fraser, how much would the club make with a new supplier who knows what they're doing?

11 Aug 2026 20:43:26
Yately, that's why I asked, I think, with your response, you never read my post properly, as the new kit maker was my next idea.

11 Aug 2026 14:45:03
Absolutely imperative that we now go out and sign a striker this window. Chermiti looks like he's out for the season and Shankland and Naderi will not score enough goals and Miovski obviously deemed not good enough and rumoured to be off.

We should go all-out for Beljo now, an absolute unit who scores goals and wouldn't be bothered by the physical side of our league.

Also hearing Rommens has suffered an injury so club need to get that sorted pronto.

Can't stress this enough but a huge massive 3 weeks left of this window and time for the American to back up his words! 👊👊

11 Aug 2026 15:22:06
Chermiti should never have played in that game, it's a grace that he played when there were interests at £25m.

11 Aug 2026 15:22:22
Defo the player we should be going for, Jim.

11 Aug 2026 15:25:49
Stevie G, why? They turned it down with no intention of selling.

11 Aug 2026 15:26:24
Stevie, I don't understand this. He shouldn't have played in that game. Me, I'm looking for my best players playing, mate, obviously the offer was turned down.

11 Aug 2026 15:30:05
Don't think there were any £25M bids, and by what the manager said, the big man was in his plans for this season.

So if he's in the manager's plans, and he's fit, in a game against Hibs at home, you'd expect your best players to be playing.



Injuries happen, and sometimes it's best to wait until the confirmation is from the club rather than jumping to conclusions.

11 Aug 2026 15:34:46
Is that the Dinamo Zagreb player?

11 Aug 2026 15:34:59
Feel for the boy. Our luck is just unbelievable, if it isn't raining, it's pouring.

11 Aug 2026 15:49:43
Cavaghagh answered the question well. Rangers did not believe the bid.

11 Aug 2026 16:02:15
It really is incredibly bad luck, Boy blue. Funnily enough, I had an inkling that might happen following the bid. Just our luck, pal.

11 Aug 2026 16:27:41
Think AC might be trying to save face and make people feel better, John. DM said he was happy we knocked back the bid in his pre match presser. If there was no bid, he could've just said that he hadn't heard of any bids or that it was false media.

11 Aug 2026 16:32:22
How is it a disgrace, for God's sake? 🤣 He's our player and, as it stands, the other team haven't met the evaluation and who's to say they would have? Or should McInnes just let other teams dictate his matchday squad?

Were it a disgrace that Tromso were playing Dahl when teams were bidding but not meeting their evaluation?

11 Aug 2026 16:33:13
Blue, so you're saying the owner is a liar.

11 Aug 2026 17:21:00
Seeker, I swear I said to my partner watch Chermiti go out and get injured after that bid, sure enough, was half joking, half wasn't. 😒
Hope you and family are good.

11 Aug 2026 15:51:17
Like there was bids for Kent, Morelos, etc etc.

I reckon there were no bids.this rumours page runs about 5% accurate..if that!

11 Aug 2026 17:43:19
Yer Maws and you hitting out at everything Rangers is laughable, Chermiti is a very talented young footballer.

11 Aug 2026 18:18:55
Yer Maws, always seems to be a silly bid, every year, which we knock back
Someone following the usual playbook, another 1 or 2 senior player injuries & that's the full story, again!

11 Aug 2026 18:26:00
John, just cause he's the owner, doesn't mean he's above lying.

Most successful billionaires are partial to the odd lie, mate.

Lads, if we expected a 2nd bud he should not have been playing.

If we didn't then fair enough.

11 Aug 2026 18:40:55
Aye, MrRangers, that's the lad. He would be a brilliant signing for us.

Stevie, it's not a disgrace, as there was no bid and they have no intention of selling unless his value is met. He is our best striker, so he had to play.

11 Aug 2026 18:40:57
No, John, I'm saying he knows how to deal with people and the media.

11 Aug 2026 14:23:13
Absolutely gutted for big Chermiti first and foremost for him.

It was the outcome I was expecting, but really hoped it wasn't.

When I saw it back, there are many of those types of comings together with impact on the knee, which lead to ACL injuries.

You could just tell by his reaction it wasn't good. I think he knew.

Wishing him a speedy recovery. And hopefully he comes back a better version of himself.

11 Aug 2026 15:30:28
Most sensible post I've seen yet on the situation.

Very unfortunate situation & hope for a speedy recovery for the boy!

11 Aug 2026 15:51:03
Well written Gazza, players get injured in football, I know this as a fact.

11 Aug 2026 16:14:24
Looking at big Chermiti on Sunday, when I saw his studs in the grass and the blow to his knee, I did think the worst. Fingers crossed it's not a complete tear of the ACL needing surgery and only partially torn, which could maybe take up to 2 months of rest and rehab. Obviously, our manager may let us know more tomorrow.

11 Aug 2026 17:43:27
The big fella doesn't tend to stay down. It looked bad at the time. Hope he makes a full recovery, promising young player. 😔

11 Aug 2026 14:11:06
Rangers submit bid for Hugo Siquet.

11 Aug 2026 14:41:52
Been rejected and Brugge saying he's not getting sold.

11 Aug 2026 14:45:15
It's witch doctor we're needing.

11 Aug 2026 18:18:36
Brugge won't sell Hugo Siquet, unfortunately. ☹️

11 Aug 2026 13:55:14
What's the chances of us getting Joël Piroe? With our injury worries"

11 Aug 2026 14:44:48
Jamie Vardy heavily linked and on his way, 1 year deal. 😲

11 Aug 2026 15:05:02
SWS, he will be able to use that amazing burst of speed in the 3 yards he will have in the opposing box.
Great player in his day, but not now, especially the way we play in Scotland.

11 Aug 2026 15:38:57
Bar, he's 39, pal, he ain't got that burst of speed anymore. Would be a disaster of a signing.

11 Aug 2026 18:10:29
Bb4, I think Bar was being sarcastic, mate.
