Rangers banter 6

02 Feb 2026 20:38:42
Rothwell confirmed Sheffield United player.

02 Feb 2026 20:38:12
Naderi looks to me like a player who will shoot on sight and try his hardest to make things happen.

A bit like Igamane.

We need this badly! Although for me we desperately need a creative CM.

But it's a great signing for me.


👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

02 Feb 2026 21:19:34
Obviously our manager Danny Rohl was desperate to sign german striker ryan Naderi and clearly rates him highly and that'll do for me 👍🇬🇧.

03 Feb 2026 05:10:39
Aphelion, in your opinion in what you've seen of our new striker ryan Naderi, would you say he's a natural goalscorer mate 🤔I had a fellow bear last night telling me Naderi is very similar to our former superb croatian striker nickia jelavic 🤔If he's anywhere near as good as jelavic, that will definitely do for me 👌 Jelavic was a one touch finisher 👌.

02 Feb 2026 20:36:42
Naderi deal done, announced on sky, wish the lad well.

02 Feb 2026 21:05:45
Did it go through John as in he will be here this window
Not at home just now
So not seen it

Fantastic news if he's signed and will be here straight away.

02 Feb 2026 21:21:12
Hear hear John, i wish Naderi all the very best wishes at Rangers and hope he bangs the goals in for us 🙏.

02 Feb 2026 21:46:37
Don't see it yet John.

02 Feb 2026 20:23:19
Someone said we have lost the transfer window to Celtic lol they have 3 loans am the guy who they seemingly were buying for 3 million failed his medical. And they are after a defender on loan with 3 professional games under his belt. We have spent nearly 13m this window and folk still not happy.

02 Feb 2026 20:41:17
I think like Christmas it brings out the kid in fans. they get 3 presents but aren't happy with that and always want more.

02 Feb 2026 20:42:51
Because we ain't got a striker which we desperately need or a 6 that we desperately need. I certainly won't be happy with 3 players if that's to be the case.

02 Feb 2026 20:43:46
Celtics striker has 1G 1A. Araujo has hit ground running. 25m bid for Engels while we make up rumours on Chermiti and kid ourselves Raskin is worth 5m. They're laughing at us today after we laughed at them.

02 Feb 2026 20:47:42
I honestly don't know if some people will ever be happy.

02 Feb 2026 20:55:37
Also trying for oxlade chamberlain. When did he last play.

02 Feb 2026 21:15:13
Good window, oxtail soup would top it off.

02 Feb 2026 22:14:02
like I say Storm kids at Christmas never happy with what they get. I wonder if the club and manager are happy? looks like we may have the striker and we already signed a CM in the three I mentioned.

please please say you wanted a 6 as we lack that creative midfielder 😉.

02 Feb 2026 22:56:06
Ryan that might be another player that fails a medical at them and ends up joining another club 😂.

02 Feb 2026 20:22:19
I'd just like to sat to all including eds, some may have butted heads along the way with opinions or not but it's transfer hours to go. Let's all pull together and hopefully get a couple more over the line 🔴⚪️🔵.

02 Feb 2026 20:39:33
Are you working in the paperwork dept Davie? what would fans pulling together have to do with the club getting a transfer over the line. Not having a go, serious question. I might be reading you wrong.

02 Feb 2026 20:57:43
Davie, I get what you're saying, but if we all pull together what does that help? It's the club and the people at the club only that get deals over the line.

02 Feb 2026 22:15:40
I think the let's all pull together iand the getting the 2 over the line are different unrelated parts of his sentence. so pull together as we have all fallen out at times b ut as it is transfer window hope to get another couple across the line. how I read it anyway.

02 Feb 2026 20:15:51
Pretty sure in the past spl was open to 12am for loan signings. anyone know.

02 Feb 2026 20:23:18
davie don't know about loans but if we agree late in window we can submit a deal sheet and SFA can allow two extra hours to complete paperwork.

02 Feb 2026 20:49:20
It may well be that Angus. I just remember you had extra time.e. I thought for loans but I thinknk your correct.

02 Feb 2026 20:14:10
Naderi deal done 5.5mil euros and sell on.

02 Feb 2026 21:52:52
Don't see it yet Caz.

02 Feb 2026 19:42:26
Really really silent on sky sports not even a mention of any deals for us starting to think things haven't gone our way and won't get anyone in hope I'm wrong.

02 Feb 2026 20:12:29
Last I heard was Naderi was in Manchester.Nearer Glasgow I'm guessing.

02 Feb 2026 17:50:02
Matondo is refusing to lower salary and no deal or negotiation will be accepted by himself or current agent in regards to a move. So him not leaving til the end of the season will cost RFC 600, 000 pounds. It just shows who wants to play and who wants money. The boy will become another free agent who leaves for 0. AKA, Kent Morelos. We really need a better businessman in charge of that area.

It's shockingly bad. Bodo/glimts highest earners are on 14k a week for an example. We have been offering far too much for average players. Why can't we seem to find a good recruitment team. Motherwell and Hearts seem to find hidden gems everywhere on the cheap, whereas we spend multi millions. 4 million for a third division German striker! Clubs see us a la a cash cow pish take. We need it sorted.

02 Feb 2026 18:19:30
Naderi won't be on massive wages, he'll get out on a long contract club will see him as a big money maker. I agree we've signed rubbish players on big contracts and it's caused us nightmares to move them on but deals like Naderi are not that.

02 Feb 2026 18:19:56
Whiner - Give the current 49rs team a chance - Matondo is a legacy failure so hardly current regimes fault - agreed regarding wage structure and bang average guys coming in from Championship for top dollar thanks to RM and his scouting but things can't and won't change magically overnight - it WILL take time to weed out the dross and the limpets and blood suckers like Matondo et al so allow the new regime time to clear the decks🤔👍.

02 Feb 2026 18:32:52
£4m is too much in my opinion. I know it's been discussed that lots of good has come out that division but that it's us breaking their league transfer record says something about us because clubs and players know we overpay as we did with Rabbi.

02 Feb 2026 18:36:28
M8 you sound like a jungle jim.

02 Feb 2026 18:36:53
I know fans don't want to hear it, but who in their tight mind would give up that kind of money, never mind someone in a career with a 15 year life span. I certainly wouldn't take a voluntary pay cut in my work. Club needs to be smarter when offering deals to try and head this kind of thing off.

02 Feb 2026 18:37:05
Majority of our players are over paid.

02 Feb 2026 18:16:34
Matondo will go down in the football world as a failure. A rich failure with no passion or desire. I can just see his grand kids asking him about his medals and videos showing all those goals and assists he had.

whilst pulling the wool over everyones head. Just a fraud taking money under false pretences. his legacy at Rangers will sum all that upin a short sentence.

02 Feb 2026 19:09:11
I was hearing Matondo was going to Norwich on loan so he would get his weekly salary from us and them until season end.

02 Feb 2026 19:09:41
You would have to put a horses head in a bed to get rid of Matondo. Good money and always injured is not exactly attractive.

Can see at the time why we bought him but a terrible signing and kinda fitting that he sees his contract out. There is no one left at the club involved in the transfer so not much point worrying about really.

02 Feb 2026 19:19:01
Too right Jimbo, can't blame the boy for seeing out his contract but i'm still disappointed that he doesn't seem to want to knuckle down and play.

02 Feb 2026 19:34:39
Matondo wasn't viewed as mediocre when he was offered that wage. Neither was Yilmaz when we paid all that money for him. These were viewed as good young players with plenty of potential.

02 Feb 2026 19:40:26
Take a step back and realise he has a contract of employment. Would you take a pay cut to go and work elsewhere?

02 Feb 2026 19:49:59
Whiner, if Motherwell and Hearts seem to find hidden gems everywhere on the cheap, please list all of the trophies they've won
for the clubs this century.

02 Feb 2026 19:54:36
Matondo has every right to keep the money we have every right to call him a no user.

02 Feb 2026 19:57:35
Here's a thought if true then demote him to an under squad. Don't play him. No where near first team or under squad.

02 Feb 2026 20:00:12
Looks like joe Rothwell staying with us also as the window in England now closed and nothing on him going to Sheffield United or any other club for that matter 🤔.

02 Feb 2026 20:02:32
The present management tea at all levels have nothing to do with what happened with Morelos and Kent or Matondo for that matter. During the Beale era we were giving out big wages to entice players to the club the fact that Matondo, Dowell, Lammers and others weren't worth it is down to him and the team at that time.

02 Feb 2026 20:16:06
Not sure what he does in training but obviously Matondo must do what is asked of him like the rest of the squad or he would be in breach of his contract.

So if he is fit to play get him in the team/squad especially in the left wing position and may help motivate Gassama a little to improve his game, also maybe Matondo may become motivated himself especially if he is looking for his next contract and possibly the welsh world cup squad (if they qualify).

02 Feb 2026 20:25:30
SWS they have supposedly put in the deal sheet which means they will have asked for a bit of extra time to get paperwork done.

02 Feb 2026 20:27:43
Deal sheet submitted for Rothwell, they have till 9 to process it Walter.

02 Feb 2026 20:32:04
Confirmed by club Rothwell to Sheffield loan.

02 Feb 2026 20:44:37
I'm in Matondo camp here, we were daft enough to give him that contract and player has every right to honour it.

02 Feb 2026 20:45:12
Rothwell deal completed hours ago. He's gone.

02 Feb 2026 20:45:42
I agree Kasier far too much I hope the boy is a hit but 4 million for a player in that division no matter how many good players come from it (which very little do in grand scheme of things)

02 Feb 2026 21:02:44
My bad it's a permanent deal.

02 Feb 2026 21:22:14
Saw Matondo at the side of the pitch the other week during the game grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Was actually shocked at how brazen I found it, I guess I assumed he would have been a little bit ashamed of what he's given versus what he has taken.

02 Feb 2026 22:37:06
I would make matonda train with the b team till his contract runs out.
