Rangers banter 4

07 Apr 2026 12:57:44
Reading that Aaron Ramsay has announced his immediate retirement from professional football. If only he had done that the day before we played that final in Seville!

07 Apr 2026 13:32:51
To do a penalty like that in a European final is shocking. I'm no manager, but if I was I'd say to the team on a penalty shoot out: no daft penalties, pick where you're going, hit the ball with pace and make sure it's on target. It's then down to fate.

07 Apr 2026 14:47:38
Felt like he had admitted he missed before he even hit the ball. One of my best and worst days in football.

07 Apr 2026 19:10:09
You stole my line there, Dtb.

Hi,

Where we are now and where we were at early start of the season is pretty dam good, yes Nancy did help a bit but not as much as R Martin harmed us!

No one seen this chance coming, but can we now see it out?

Never thought Hearts would win it, even now, think it's between Celtic and Rangers, most Celtic fans do not think they are good enough to pull through!


We have some tough games but I still think we are good enough to get over the line.

07 Apr 2026 12:50:06
I don't think the draw matters all that much. Each of the top 6, on their day, can beat the others.

07 Apr 2026 13:16:25
And if we are all on our game, does that mean 6 draws are forecast?

07 Apr 2026 13:24:37
Not really geesadodothat, Rangers have the best squad and, more importantly, the best eleven. We play to our full potential, then nobody comes close. Six wins and it's all over. 🏆💙

07 Apr 2026 13:27:18
Pragmatic disciplined performances, and we achieve 6 wins.

Home and away, we win and the title returns to Ibrox.

07 Apr 2026 19:11:40
Aph, I believe if we cut out stupid defensive mistakes, we have enough goals in the squad.

07 Apr 2026 12:16:20
So Mikey Moore wants to be back at Spurs next season to fight for a place. Good luck to the young guy, just watched his article on YouTube and he seems a very decent boy. He has high aspirations including playing for England and although I think he's a good player imo he's got a long way to go to think he could be a regular for England in the future, I know he's young but he runs down a lot of blind alleys for me and loses the ball quite a bit but as I said I wish him all the best and I'll watch his career with interest.

07 Apr 2026 12:26:04
At least he tries BT and is not afraid to take on the defence. He will be a very good player in a few years' time, and let's just enjoy him while he is here. Fingers crossed he goes home with a winner's medal in his pocket.

07 Apr 2026 12:56:27
Love to see him stay, but if he does go back to Spurs I wish him well. He's been very good up here for us, as we have been for him. He should have a good career in front of him.

07 Apr 2026 13:17:43
Be interesting to see his stats v Kent. Just for a laugh.

07 Apr 2026 14:27:25
Thanks Moore, but welcome back Findlay Curtis, one of our own. 😎

07 Apr 2026 18:28:39
I hope Moore stays for another year, but his stats won't mean a thing if we don't win the league. Kent won the league, Scottish Cup and got us to a European final, geesadodothat.

07 Apr 2026 20:27:13
EC12, Kent done that all by himself, did he? He also cost us the final with that sitter as well.

07 Apr 2026 21:34:10
Did I say he did it all by himself? What about our defence failing to stop and clear an easy ball into the box? Did that not cost us?

You'd swap Moore's stats for Kent and co's title winning season and EL final run is the point I'm trying to make.

07 Apr 2026 10:26:02
When are the split fixtures out lads anyone know?

07 Apr 2026 11:20:22
Heard could be 2moro.

07 Apr 2026 11:46:46
Frustratingly, and I believe it to be well-known, we'll be receiving the short-end of the stick with the post-split fixtures.

To be on an even keel, with the other five teams in the top six, we'd be due home games with Motherwell, Hibs and Falkirk; away games with Celtic and Hearts.

But that would give us an imbalance over 38 games of 20:18 home:away. To get the 19:19 required for parity, we'll need to be away to one of Motherwell, Hibs or Falkirk three times.



They are all venues that we have dropped points at this season: (Fir Park 1-1 in the opening game and Welsh's last minute equaliser not long ago; Easter Road 0-0, although I recall a harsh Mikey Moore goal being disallowed; Falkirk Stadium 1-1 with a deflected late equaliser, plus a visit coming up on Sunday).

Six cup finals left.

07 Apr 2026 11:56:17
We'll be away to Falkirk for a 3rd time, Legal Bear. 🤔

07 Apr 2026 12:10:51
Every club needs to face each other. Look at our three league games against Celtic this season: drew two at Ibrox, our only win was at Celtic Park. Very confident of winning again at Celtic Park.

07 Apr 2026 12:29:19
We'll know in around 30 minutes.

07 Apr 2026 12:57:19
I've had unofficial word that our fixtures are
Rangers V Motherwell
Hearts V Rangers
Celtic V Rangers
Rangers V Hibs
Falkirk V Rangers
Don't know if true, so just sharing it with one and all. 🤔🇬🇧

07 Apr 2026 13:11:34
That's the draw, Coops. Confirmed. 👍

07 Apr 2026 13:12:11
It is confirmed on Rangers TV website, SWS.

07 Apr 2026 13:13:16
I just saw that too, mate. Hearts on a Mon night, Hibs on the Wed before, last game away to Falkirk on Sat.

07 Apr 2026 13:19:41
When does Celtic play Hearts.

07 Apr 2026 13:26:53
Last day Celtic v Hearts.

07 Apr 2026 13:27:19
Fixtures were released at 1230. Great run for Rangers could not have been hand-picked any better.

07 Apr 2026 09:18:37
Great performance and result yesterday,
Very happy, hopefully this is the start of an upward trajectory.

One of the three deadline day signing made their debut, Kristian Eriksen and scored on debut.

Would be nice to see Rabbi do likewise.

07 Apr 2026 10:16:00
Good win. Has Rabbi signed, mate?

07 Apr 2026 10:21:03
Yes, Strom, he was on the substitute bench yesterday, and has looked very good at training.

07 Apr 2026 10:56:10
Here is hoping Rabbi kicks on at Brann and plays a few good games and wins a trophy or two, maybe Brann can then make some money from him if he's fit and performs. 🤞

07 Apr 2026 12:56:34
I hope he can use this opportunity and has luck in regards to injuries.

He is a good player and good person, he deserves something to go his way.

07 Apr 2026 13:29:49
Good luck to the boy.

07 Apr 2026 07:06:25
Looking for you're expert opinion guys (you know who you are 😁)
If Manny goes in the summer how much would you expect we would get for him?
The follow up being would we go for Luke Graham as replacement or cast a wider net?

07 Apr 2026 07:44:17
People saying 30m and stuff are miles off. But it's a buyers market. If it goes to a bidding war, could go above 15, possibly edging towards 20 with adds on.

07 Apr 2026 07:53:32
I don't think he'll leave in the summer, not for the price we'd be expecting anyway. When Bassey left, we'd just lost a European Cup final on penalties, beating some top teams along the way. Fernandez still has a long way to go to justify a big money move. I suspect we'll therefore have him for next season at least before hopefully a big money move.

07 Apr 2026 07:53:56
I tend to agree with your valuation, Herewego55. 👍 That wouldn't be far away imo mate. 🤔

07 Apr 2026 07:56:38
He's better than Bassey in so many ways! So it's more than £22m.

His style of play is also more marketable than Bassey. He's better on the ball by a considerable distance.

£30 plus add ons (£35m).



Anything else is weak! I expect the Americans will be tough to deal with, which has been missing for decades.

Win the title, and your price.

You are way off, Herewego.

07 Apr 2026 08:20:28
Anyone itk, know what Peterborough get in any transfer?

07 Apr 2026 08:37:44
If Fernandez had pace, 30m wouldn't be out the question.

07 Apr 2026 08:50:15
It's all well trying to put a monetary value on a developing player, but most are invariably incorrect. Fans and media, I feel we keep him for at least another year, then let's see how he develops and if that brings a decent reward for the club. 👍

07 Apr 2026 09:33:28
Bassey more of an all rounder. Bassry worth more imo.

07 Apr 2026 09:47:27
Thanks, guys, appreciate your input to my limited knowledge.
Who do you think or would like to replace him if he did go?

07 Apr 2026 09:50:28
Rangers want to keep him for at least one more year, but they do expect their resolve to be tested in the summer by teams from top 5 leagues, according to Rangers Review.



Personally I'd want to see him at Champs League level if I'm a club in the top 5 leagues, but that also inflates his price if he performs well and continues to play for Nigeria.

07 Apr 2026 10:18:22
He isn't remotely close to being as good as Bassey, who has performed to a great level in EPL. He can become better than him, yes, but he isn't as good as him right now.

I would agree with HWG55 valuation.

07 Apr 2026 10:59:36
It was performance in Europe as well as versatility that vastly boosted Bassey's value. Manny isn't there yet, but should be next year, hopefully.

07 Apr 2026 11:00:37
The type of money we would be looking for can only come from one of the big five leagues. I still think Manny is too raw and has one or two mistakes in him to command a massive fee, but then again Van Dijk sometimes makes mistakes now that he's getting on a bit. Starting bid £17m plus add-ons. 🤷‍♂️

07 Apr 2026 12:14:11
I'd be trying to keep Fernandez for next season, he's got everything for a modern CB, he has got some pace, BigDado, it will be 20m plus, it's all top clubs interested in him.

07 Apr 2026 12:44:35
Bar 72 Peterborough has inserted a 25% sell on if Manny gets sold by Rangers.
