Rangers banter 5

01 Sep 2026 15:38:02
Can someone shed light on what is happening with Clinton Nsiala? IMO when he did play, sure, he was a bit rough around the edges at times but he to me looked like he was improving. I know its about training etc but right now, I'd have him start instead of Fernandez. He can't be worse?!

01 Sep 2026 16:31:17
He's not the best defender, in my opinion, and shouldn't be anywhere near our starting 11. We are seriously lacking quality and experience.

01 Sep 2026 16:44:33
Fernandez been off it (thought he alright on Sunday), but Nsisla ain't getting in front of him, think window shutting and some more run of games we will see the consistency we want.

01 Sep 2026 16:57:00
Super he has no future at Rangers.

01 Sep 2026 17:08:27
Disappointed. Thought he looked quite good to begin with. Similar to Bassey.

01 Sep 2026 17:42:32
Manny is a million times better than Nsiala. This is a case of a player not playing for ages that people start to think he's better than what he is.

01 Sep 2026 15:30:06
Need to get a few players out the door as well, squad is too big, think that's part of the problem. Also if Raskin is still here after the transfer window ends, would like to see him performing at the level he is capable of. don't think it's a lack of commitment, more he seems to try and play every roll in midfield.

01 Sep 2026 16:27:55
Looking very likely that Nico Raskin will remain at Rangers beyond this transfer window. 🤔🇬🇧

01 Sep 2026 16:46:28
Sir Walter, when someone said there's something in place, am starting to wonder if no one followed up Raskin enquiries. Do they mean he will sign a new contract? 🤔 Just my gut feeling. 🇬🇧

Lots happening with THEM on sky sports and nothing much about us. So while we wait for news, let's discuss the below. Personally for me, I don't like it one bit.

When players score against former teams and don't celebrate out of respect for their old team.

For me, I think it's hugely disrespectful towards their current club and fans. They are no longer being paid by their former club. I really don't like it at all and don't know why it's a thing. When they were with them, they done their job and repaid the club.

01 Sep 2026 16:32:12
TBF we have signed 12 players, soon to be 13. I don't know what more everyone expects.

01 Sep 2026 16:34:19
Mo Johnston's celebrations against them when he scored was superb. 🙌💙🤣

01 Sep 2026 16:40:24
It depends how long he was at the club. When Lampard scored against Chelsea for City, do you expect him to run away like a mad man? And burn his bridges with 15 years' worth of service to Chelsea.

01 Sep 2026 16:52:47
Seen some go over the top scoring against their old clubs as well. If I scored against Rangers, my celebration would be a bit more subdued than against the mhanky mob (yellow card incoming), or maybe, depending on what type of goal, tap in or worldly etc.

Personally, can't be bothered with all this dancing carry on when a fist bump is enough. Main thing is you try your best and score the goal, which I think everyone would do.

01 Sep 2026 17:44:48
Sometimes looks like some players worry more about their celebrations than playing. In the words of Roy Keane, "It's their job!"

01 Sep 2026 20:21:46
I take your point, WishyBear.

I'm not specifically talking about over exuberance, but a celebration. I've even seen some apologising.

I can see how he would burn 15 years' worth of bridges. He can still love Chelsea and be professional for City.

And, as a fan, surely they'd be open minded enough to see that he has a new employer and he's doing his job.

Anyway it's just how I feel. It just seems like people pleasing to me.
Don't hate me, kinda thing.

01 Sep 2026 14:49:29
Anyone know if we are looking at bringing an experienced centre back in before the window shuts or even a free agent? Seen Conor coady is a free agent again after being linked a year ago and seen some whispers on this page before regarding Chris smalling? Not saying these two particularly but certainly need some more experience in that back 4?

01 Sep 2026 15:57:34
I think Godfrey is that experience, mate. I might be in the minority but I'm not too worried about the back 4. I would be really happy if we could add an additional creative spark.

01 Sep 2026 13:29:37
Sky sports reporting Dundee United interested in Cameron as someone mentioned in here earlier. Got me wondering everybody wants us to sign the young best talents in spl like we used to do. Cameron had an outstanding season for goals and assists at Dundee and has failed like many others Bailey rice off the top of my head. Is this on the club or the player do we think? Should they be loaned out straight away like Chelsea and teams do to get them regular football and keep them developing? Are they not as good as we thought? Are they struggling to make the step up?

Been a while since we had a proper academy player or player in from an spl that's improved us. Souttar played regularly but would argue he was better at hearts

01 Sep 2026 13:47:12
Playing well for our opposition doesn't always translate in being able to do the same for us. Going from fairly equal open play to up against a low block week after week takes a different type of player, and we don't have many Scottish or otherwise particularly good at it.

01 Sep 2026 14:29:43
Had high hopes for Cameron, didn't quite have the build or stature, but had the fitness levels, plus vision and the ability to slip a ball through to break the lines, as well as arriving into the box to get on the end of something.

Think a lot of these boys need constant games to build up a rhythm, and they just aren't going to get that at us unless they are exceptional right away.

01 Sep 2026 14:48:22
I thought the same with him too, was always worried he might be a bit lightweight, but hoped he would come good.

01 Sep 2026 14:48:32
Always felt Dave Watson from Kilmarnock would've been a better prospect than Cameron. Just a shame it hasn't worked out for him at Rangers.

01 Sep 2026 14:51:44
I think there is more to the Cameron situation.

01 Sep 2026 14:57:44
Agreed, Scotty. He burned his bridges, I suspect. How, I don't know, but will never play again. He will jump ship. Pity more won't do the same. It's all downhill for some, and they can't face it.

01 Sep 2026 13:13:09
It's too quiet for my liking!

Someone tell me something wonderful is going to happen.

01 Sep 2026 13:24:28
Gazza,
Something wonderful is going to happen.

Better?

01 Sep 2026 13:27:58
Gazza Bunnet said something is going to happen.

01 Sep 2026 13:29:47
I think he was hoping you meant it as well. 😅

01 Sep 2026 13:37:02
Gazza, we are going for the treble, mate. The only hope I have this year.

01 Sep 2026 13:37:45
Much better Bunnet. 😊

01 Sep 2026 13:52:38
Omg Bunnet, what is it? I'm buzzing now. 🤪

01 Sep 2026 14:02:28
Aye the same Glue as Bunnet. 😉😄

01 Sep 2026 14:07:53
Gazza, I can confirm something wonderful is definitely happening - I'm having gigot chops tonight. Wonderful.

01 Sep 2026 15:01:10
We are all desperate to see something happen. Even after 11/12 signings, we still want something big to happen. Those days are gone. Gone since Butcher, Stevens, Roberts, Souness, etc. Face up to the ordinary guys, and get some also rans out the door and off the wage bill.

01 Sep 2026 15:17:17
Gee, it a try, Fork, better than watching Rangers atm.

01 Sep 2026 15:27:07
I believe u bud, pity there's not a hair standing up emoji. 😉😄

01 Sep 2026 15:27:35
Just for you, Gazza:-
In societies where men are truly confident of their own worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued. 🔴⚪🔵

Cameron archer away to auxerre on loan. Was linked to us under Rohl in January. Good player early in his career but has faded away be interesting to see how he does
