Rangers banter 8

17 May 2026 19:17:21
Total confidence Moore will be at Ibrox next season.

17 May 2026 19:54:37
Wouldn't be against this, but he needs to improve large parts of his game, which, as a young man, I'm sure he will.

17 May 2026 20:18:07
TJ, Moore said this himself, I'm sure, including upping his numbers.

17 May 2026 20:28:29
I don't think he will be. Think he'll be loaned out down south; depends on what Spurs' plans are for him.

17 May 2026 20:39:22
I'm really excited about Curtis for next season, I think we missed this type of player towards the end of the season.

17 May 2026 20:39:32
Mikey Moore won't be back at Rangers any time soon. He will get a loan in the Championship if of course Spurs stay up.

17 May 2026 22:06:30
Think people forget clubs can't just send players out on loan 2 whatever club they want. The player has 2 agree with the move. Spurs are extremely happy with his progress at Rangers, so why not send him back.

17 May 2026 22:10:12
I think Moore will be back also. Moore, Chermiti and Curtis as a front three with Diomande and a couple of experienced midfielders who have plenty of dig behind them. New Rb and centre back to slot in defence with Fernandez and Rommens. Happy for JB to continue in goals, but if we bring in another keeper, then fine with that also.

Keep Barron, Souttar, Kelly, Naderi, Chucky, and Sterling as a back up for a few positions. Would sell Miovski, Raskin, Bajrami, Aasgaard, Gassama and Antman. Send all the loans back, except Moore, obviously.

17 May 2026 22:25:08
Moore, Curtis and Cher upfront, my goodness, that genuinely won't win up a league.

18 May 2026 01:40:20
Missed Curtis in the team but loan to Kilmarnock and time with Neil McCann did wonders for game time and confidence. Few nice goals as well.

18 May 2026 08:06:27
Need more than a few goals from our attacking line.

18 May 2026 09:23:37
Every summer we go down this road of wanting a loan player signed. From Sima to Cerny to Moore, yet none of them come back or resigns.

17 May 2026 17:38:55
I have to laugh at these so called fans. These are the same players who were performing under the same manager who started reducing the deficit. Now these players stopped performing and its back to the manager fault. Who is he supposed to pick if these players down tools. Too many times have we at Rangers allowed players to dictate. No one player is bigger than the club. Tav yes he remained at us for 11 years because nobody else wanted him. He was never a captain and has cost us in games time after time.

However when he pulled that jersey on I still hoped he would do it. Sadly he didn't. I'll be glad to see Tav and Raskin leave as I feel they disrupt the team. I don't often agree with Chris Sutton but he got it 100 percent about Tav causing us games with his decision making. So let's do what we used to do get behind the team and the manager. Remember people have got their wishes before and the manager turned out to be of no use. We had three managers try and work with some of these players that should say it all.

17 May 2026 18:43:10
Utter nonsense about Tav. He stayed at Rangers because countless managers thought him worthy of a new contract and was made captain by 7 of them.
I do agree that the players should take the blame for losing out on the league, but it certainly was a lot more than Tav and Raskin's fault and Rohl's decision making and tactics have been flawed throughout.


By the way, who picked Tav at right back against Celtic after he picked up an ankle injury against Hearts, despite having Sterling, Aarons and, now it appears, Djiga, who could all have filled in at right back.

17 May 2026 19:01:29
Another pointless thread just to bash James Tavernier. How very boring.

James Tavernier has left Rangers. He has moved on with his life. Time for you to move on with yours.

17 May 2026 19:25:37
Wullie, totally agree on the gist of your post, mate, but there's way more than Tav and Raskin at fault. Danny has shown he'll not let any of them take the single fish. That'll do for me, we've been crying out for manager that will stand up to these weak minded players for years.

17 May 2026 19:38:17
Let me ask a question, did Captain Tav stay and support the boys on Wednesday, and did he go to Falkirk yesterday, answer NO, but our Club made him a multi millionaire, and that was what he thought of the fans that have praised him, and kicked his butt when he needed it. I myself have become totally dismayed by him and that sauntering back and forth during a game when he should have been busting a gut to get back in cover and stop a cross.

No offence but I find all of this Tav praise and Danny bashing a bit much. If someone had come in for him during the 11 years he would've been gone, let's all just get behind the owners and the Manager in his 1st full season with his own choice of players and see where we are next season.

17 May 2026 19:46:33
Don't agree with the "so called fans" part. We all have different opinions, but Tav let himself down. As most say, a great player but never a captain.

17 May 2026 20:18:46
Tav is a disgrace to the Rangers shirt and he thought he was bigger than the club. He can feck off and not come back, stinking attitude.

17 May 2026 20:22:29
For me, it's easy. Did we get our money's worth out of Tav? You're damn right we did!

17 May 2026 20:38:46
Tav a disgrace to the shirt?
Never in a million years, but you are entitled to your opinion, just like I am.
Someone mentioned elsewhere Tav has departed, and we should move on too.

17 May 2026 21:03:53
Bit heavy, Storm, not my fav player but he's not a disgrace, dr missed a trick in a dead rubber game to give him a goodbye by bringing him off after an hour (good enough to be started at Parkhead for some reason). It would of got him a bit of respect from other players and he needs that badly going forward.

17 May 2026 21:15:31
I find it sad that people continue to berate a player who has contributed so much to the team over a long period of time. He wasn't the greatest, but one of a few who had the robustness and ability to have been successful in some of our better teams of the past. Yes, he was paid well, but he was well entitled to it - and will earn more in his next move, no doubt.

I sometimes wonder if we actually deserve a good team the way that we are so quick to condemn our own players. Who would want to bust a gut for a team in that environment? There have been several players who have underperformed in a Rangers jersey. Record-breaker Tav isn't one. A sad end to his Rangers career, yes, but I wish him well as he moves on.

17 May 2026 21:51:10
It's not heavy at all, after the way he acted the other day, he thinks he is more important than the team, so for me, he is a disgrace.

17 May 2026 21:55:02
BA22, I tend to agree with you. I think there is truth to the saying that you get the team you deserve, and maybe that is what we are seeing right now. Real support is about getting behind the players when they are struggling, giving them that extra lift to turn draws or losses into wins. Unfortunately, it feels like we forget that we win and lose as a team. One player alone can't fix everything or win us the league. Scapegoating Tav just because he has been here the longest feels like an easy way out, and it is unfair to blame him for every title loss.

There are wider changes needed at the club rather than just focusing on one individual. I don't think, however, he will ever struggle to get respect from teammates and that is more important, or would be to me, than the false acclaim of any fan group.
No wonder we never win if we can't see the good of our own before the bad parts everybody has. Sad, really.

17 May 2026 17:17:02
Rangers ladies currently beating Celtic 3-0.

Yehaaaa! Keep it up and hopefully we can get it over the line next week. 👏

17 May 2026 19:40:52
Yes, Gazza, 4-0 at the end and on to a nervous weekend next week for the League Championship decider, followed by another game against Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final.

17 May 2026 19:53:51
Brilliant result.

Any pitch invasions there?

17 May 2026 16:40:09
Good short interview from Andrew Cavanaugh released by club. Worth a watch.

I know its been a bad first season but I really like him, every time I hear him speak makes me feel we are in good hands.

Decision has been made on the manager, glad it was not me making it, we improve over the summer and go again.

Follow we will!

17 May 2026 17:40:24
Talks cheap, he's got season tickets to sell.

17 May 2026 18:11:25
Actually, to be able to talk, he needed to pay well over £100m on the shares and transfer budget, so I think he deserves the right to put his point across. And he speaks well and is believable. Not saying he won't make mistakes in future again, but he is learning, it seems.

17 May 2026 18:31:34
Not for me, Gvb, so many over the last few years have rung major alarm bells when I have heard them speak.

Plus, I am pretty sure most season tickets are taken up already.

I know you never got things the way you wanted, but it's done, and messaging has been clear on it.

I was pretty ambivalent either way.

We are not capable of turning our backs, so we carry on, and hopefully we can start following with pride again.

17 May 2026 18:47:47
Gvb, he himself said talks cheap, we have already sold 47k off season tickets.

17 May 2026 19:04:24
The season tickets have already sold for next year, so there goes that theory, Gvb.

Rangers were selling out that stadium in Division 3. If you don't want your ST, don't buy it. Someone else will take your place. It's not a problem.

17 May 2026 19:05:00
Rangers don't need 2 worry about season tickets sales, everyone will be sold and that's a fact.

17 May 2026 20:20:10
I will 100% be behind Rohl for this new season. He needs to be backed to the hilt and let's make Rangers great again.

17 May 2026 20:41:16
Tommy G, love the enthusiasm. We're all here for the long haul. "Though the streets be broad and narrow." Everywhere, anywhere.

17 May 2026 21:07:08
Season tickets are sold and we have a willing owner, made mistakes, but seems to make him more determined.

17 May 2026 16:08:24
Bruno Fernandes equals Premier League record of 20assists in a season. What a player he is

17 May 2026 17:29:12
Outstanding footballer.

17 May 2026 21:08:17
Could have had another three assists today if not for others finishing, outstanding player.

17 May 2026 15:16:53
Heard Celtic are introducing a new tradition for the New Year fixture when played at Parkhead - John Beaton Loving Cup ceremony.

17 May 2026 16:07:33
Yeah, heard same. Father Collum is taking the service and Cardinal Clancy is on the organ.

17 May 2026 16:55:12
What are Celtic Catholic. I always wondered why Rangers fans disliked them. 🙈

17 May 2026 17:39:59
For lads, Clancy is an organ.

17 May 2026 17:53:39
Cathedral or Casio. 👀😇

17 May 2026 15:11:12
Hi all,

Been observing for a while and finally registered to post.

Something I considered and not sure this has been covered before regarding post split fixtures .

Since there always seems to be a fall out and conspiracy on who plays who in what order for the 5 post split fixtures, why don't they announce it at the start of the season when the full season fixture list gets announced?

You don't need to know what teams are in the top 6 as you just use numbers 1-6 to represent league positions after matchday 33. ie gameweek 34: 1v5, 2v3 etc

That could all be done before a ball is even kicked in August then they can sort the home/away at the time of the split?

Am I being daft or would that work?

17 May 2026 15:30:48
The problem is that policing of matches is the number one priority when it comes to fixtures.

I don't know if it were actually possible, but none of the top 3 should have played each other in the final game, imo.

It did not matter with us in the end, but that was an advantage to both teams involved knowing what they would need from that match.



I wouldn't be wasting too much energy on it as it made no difference to us in any event. And it may not even have been possible.

17 May 2026 15:32:19
RFC, it has merit but would depend how many times u have played a particular team away from home.

17 May 2026 15:32:56
I think it is because OF fans can't behave. They don't want to have a game between us which would settle the destination of the title. If fans could behave, I think they could do that.

Like the idea, but think that is the reason behind it. The cup game at Ibrox recently seems to support the fact neither can behave. Now, over to they were worse than us arguments.

17 May 2026 15:42:07
Thanks for taking the time to reply, guys. Had just crossed my mind when thinking of the upcoming World Cup when teams will know their potential path to the final based on where they finish in each pot.

As you say, if only people could behave (which will never happen). So won't waste anymore thoughts on it. 👍🏼

17 May 2026 16:08:28
RFC, also both clubs can't play at home on the same day; same in Edinburgh and Dundee, I imagine. So, until final 6 is decided, you don't know how to plot that, and also, as John says, how many times you have played H and A against each.

17 May 2026 16:30:17
I would get rid of the split. Just play everyone 4 times.

17 May 2026 16:45:30
I would extend the league in a way that would allow it to be split after 2 fixtures. Then, play remaining home and away in the group you are split into.

I have always thought that the biggest detriment to our game is that the small league is too tight.

I feel it leads to ultra-competitive teams scrapping for points, which can be the difference between relegation and European qualification.

I think we'd see more football if we had more of a mid table. More youth involved as well.

17 May 2026 16:57:50
Tommy, agree. I would go as far to have a bigger league of 18 teams and just play home and away once each. I think it would make more teams try to play football and also play young players if you take away the threat of relegation. However, Sky are never going to go for that.

17 May 2026 17:08:46
That would be ideal for me also, but agree it's unrealistic regarding broadcasters as, in the main, they are only interested in Old Firm games.

I actually think that your way would give a better chance for teams like Hearts to challenge on a regular basis. Having to play 12 games against the Old Firm means I don't see their challenge being replicated anytime soon.

17 May 2026 17:13:49
Sorry, 8 games*.

17 May 2026 17:15:27
I worked for a small security company while at University. We did the security at Parkhead and Tynecastle. Those games alternate weekends, so the same security staff can be used at both stadiums. It might be different now.

I think Rangers and Celtic try to avoid home games on the same weekend too.

Things like this need to be considered after the split. So you can't make definite plans at the start of the season. The police and security companies need to be involved, especially now with fans invading pitches.

17 May 2026 18:00:54
I am in favour of a league of 15. Everyone plays each other home and away. Once everyone has got through the 28 fixtures, the league splits into 3 groups of 5, creating another 8 additional fixtures to be played home and away.

The benefits would be having more clubs to send young players out to gain top flight experience, and would hopefully also encourage more clubs to adopt a more attractive brand of football, given the cut throat nature of the current structure.

17 May 2026 19:06:09
The structure should be 3 leagues of 20 teams. 3 go up, and 3 go down. It's that simple.

17 May 2026 19:39:55
Rohl, I agree no need for 4 leagues in Scotland, 3 leagues or even 2 bigger leagues, but I also agree with others will never happen too much money relying on OF games.

17 May 2026 21:28:53
There is always an issue with the split although more often than not a particular team seems to enjoy the rub of the green when it comes to it. Hearts should have played at home in their last game. And all that would have required was reversing the fixtures of games 4 and 5. That said, the split has often created an imbalance.

I favour a 14 team league splitting after 26 games, then top 6 and bottom 8 can play home and away again. Extra games for bottom 8 to counter no Old Firm games and winner of bottom 8 section to play off with team in conference league position for that place.
