Rangers banter 8

15 Dec 2025 18:38:50
Just seen team not impressed. Looks like five at the back.

15 Dec 2025 19:03:48
Might be a 433 wait and see.

15 Dec 2025 19:04:29
Wish anyone other than Chermiti was leading the line. Goals will have to come. from Curtis and Moore. Glad to see Sterling and Curtis finally in the starting 11. Back looks shaky at best. First time Raskin has been on the bench under Rohl?

15 Dec 2025 19:11:19
join the club, beginning to wonder about dannys thinking here.

15 Dec 2025 19:11:49
Like that Moore and Curtis both playing.

15 Dec 2025 19:12:12
Was thinking 3-4-3.

15 Dec 2025 19:15:32
Tbh John 1st time iv thought whsts he thinking.

15 Dec 2025 19:18:17
sure is. maybe for the first half to see how hibs plan to exploit our vulnerable back line.

15 Dec 2025 19:23:16
He doesn't have much more to choose from John.

15 Dec 2025 19:27:35
I actually don't mind that team John and think Sterling might be deployed as the 6 tonight but glad Curtis and Moore start.

15 Dec 2025 19:28:59
Raskin hasn't trained since ferencvaros, Miovski not fit. Think after midweek Tav and Gassama always getting dropped as they were terrible. Sterling needs the minutes. Moore should start. Only change I disagree with really is Chermiti but then again Danilo has been terrible lately so Chermiti should start I suppose.

15 Dec 2025 19:41:35
5 changes weak back line chermeti up front not confident tonight.

15 Dec 2025 19:43:20
He hasn't got much to work with guys and that's why he goes with a 5 to try and not concede, he's being pragmatic, he hasn't started Chermiti much so it shows how limited we are with Miovski injured and Danilo not the answer either.
Surprised with Raskin not starting though.

15 Dec 2025 19:44:23
Hi Edd could I please be added to the live chat.

{Ed033's Note - Trevor steven loyal is added.

15 Dec 2025 19:58:23
He's injured.

15 Dec 2025 20:35:15
That Chermiti is a player eh? 🫣.

15 Dec 2025 21:47:34
We don't have an abundance of riches,, let the guy work with the cr*p he has at his disposal, he's doing OK, even with that!

15 Dec 2025 21:47:56
Chermiti is a better target man than Danilo; isn't he a false 9, second striker or number 10 according to those on here. so he wants someone who takes ball in and lays it off for others. as far as I could see he did that tonight. put a lot of effort in and did well bringing others into play.

15 Dec 2025 22:09:02
He is better target man that Danilo that is all he is not a good target man in the grand scheme of things.

16 Dec 2025 08:58:00
who would you have played up top Strom.

15 Dec 2025 17:13:19
According to reports, Rangers interested in st. etienne midfielder pierre ekwah 🤔 Don't know anything about this young midfielder tbh 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 17:30:24
Played most league games for Sunderland a couple of seasons ago sws, still young, he's was only 20/21 then, can fill in at cb, if Rohl is looking for a number six to slot in at cb during the game he could be that man.

15 Dec 2025 17:55:27
My star i was also reading he has an attitude problem 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 17:59:58
We have enough bad attitudes at the club already and shouldn't be trying to add another. Stay away from this lad at all costs!

15 Dec 2025 18:07:12
Mrsielle attribunal intend to get a fee for him, backed by fifa.
Let's avoid.

15 Dec 2025 18:07:53
But plenty would sign Shankland who downed tools for Hearts last season and was overweight.

15 Dec 2025 18:19:03
We already have Gassama for that.

15 Dec 2025 18:26:18
Huffy puffy types need not apply, we need warriors.

15 Dec 2025 18:54:46
According to reports SWS? What's the source?

15 Dec 2025 19:23:55
We were linked to him in the summer near the end of the window.

15 Dec 2025 20:00:20
In the record I think?

15 Dec 2025 20:29:12
Sunderland fans seem to have liked him, whatever happened at St Etienne no one knows but a few are blaming the player without any knowledge of the situation.

15 Dec 2025 22:10:13
Gers no they are blaming the player because what is reported whether that's right or wrong is different. All we can go on is reports.

15 Dec 2025 16:18:01
If we put on a good performance tonight things could get interesting.
Hope MM scores for 3 in a row.

15 Dec 2025 17:42:53
Hopefully Wilkins 🤞my feeling's haven't changed from yesterday, for some strange reason I'm confident.
I do hope we don't go with a back 3, these are must win games, not must not lose games. I understand why he's been going with the 3, but he must find a way to give us the best opportunity to win.

15 Dec 2025 18:08:57
BB4 he has played a back 4 each of the last 7 games since we used a three versus Roma at start of November. Djiga available tonight so we still have players available to play that 4.

15 Dec 2025 18:50:41
BB looks like your fears are confirmed, looks a back 3 tonight again.

15 Dec 2025 19:03:05
Rangers win and Moore anytime just under 5/1.

15 Dec 2025 20:43:19
BB4 he played a 3. I took lineups from BBC and Transfermarkt and they showed 4s all the time but now can't trust my memory on that after he played 3 tonight and I remember Tav at RCB at least once. apologies.

15 Dec 2025 22:11:04
Sometimes is better saying nothing 😆.

15 Dec 2025 14:55:30
Shamal George would be an upgrade on Butland. He was incredible yesterday and only 27. Ideal age.

15 Dec 2025 15:05:37
He is not at the standard required unfortunately.

15 Dec 2025 15:07:01
He has dome very good games but is also prone to a bad mistake.

15 Dec 2025 15:13:54
I don't think George improves our squad or our starting 11 - so would be a no from me.

15 Dec 2025 15:22:53
I think if Danny Rohl is going to sign a younger goalkeeper, i think he'll try and sign northern ireland highly rated young goalkeeper Pierce Charles, who he had at Sheffield Wednesday 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 15:44:28
So you are saying we should sign this guy off the back of one great game. Are you saying then that Butland has had not one great game for us? Pretty sure we were linked with George back in his Livi days and decided to pass on him.

15 Dec 2025 16:04:07
Someone plays a good game or 2 but is really poor most other games at then folk on here say we should sign them.

15 Dec 2025 16:32:04
I like to see Rohl sign players he knows.
Ange used this to good effect at Celtic.

15 Dec 2025 16:36:26
Thats a good shout Sir Walter. I wouldn't be disappointed with that. A fine young goalie with a bright future ahead of him.

15 Dec 2025 16:47:22
Liam Kelly is better than george.

15 Dec 2025 16:48:29
George better than Butland. behave!

Butland has been our best player on multiple occasions and saved us many times.

Have some respect.

15 Dec 2025 16:56:47
He's not even close to Butland.

15 Dec 2025 17:18:02
Regarding gogic however, i don't think any of us could direct to any our supporters that want us to sign him, that we should sign him because he's only played a few good games for st. mirren🤔 Everytime i've seen gogic for st. mirren i've honestly always been impressed with him and he's without question so suited to the scottish game 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 17:21:54
Goalies always have the game of their life when they beat either us or celtic. doesn't mean they should be signed. If he was better than Butland he wouldn't be at St Mirren aged 27.

15 Dec 2025 17:33:40
I don't know much about Goalies but my person in the know says Hibs goalie is the best in the league.

15 Dec 2025 20:54:08
He ain't anywhere near as good as Butland watch one game and think a player is a superstar.

15 Dec 2025 14:54:20
I raised a few eyebrows when I posted that I took out a bet of 16/1 when DR joined that Rangers would win more trophies than Celtic in season 25/26 and I am happy to report after Sunday that my confidence levels have improved that come May after the Scottish Cup final I should be quids in!
As long as Hearts or ourselves win the league!

15 Dec 2025 14:57:58
BJbear cracking punt mate.

15 Dec 2025 15:00:40
Bj I like the coat of arms who's is it?

15 Dec 2025 15:10:24
House of Stuart i think Stevie.

15 Dec 2025 16:47:15
Yes it's the House of Stuarts
My record of bets is very much in the Red but I'm liking my chances on this one.

15 Dec 2025 16:51:22
Jfm thanks mate, is it not Stewart though? Or is it actually Stuart as in a different family thank our royals?

15 Dec 2025 17:17:45
That crest is Stuart, Stevie.

15 Dec 2025 17:21:46
Stevie G the crest is for Royal Stuart. Stuart and Stewart are really the same clan with Stewart being other branches of the same clan.

15 Dec 2025 17:36:44
Thats a cracking bet. Well worth a few quid.

15 Dec 2025 17:53:11
There are many coats of arms for the Stewarts and Stuarts. This one is the Earl of Moray who headed up the Stuarts.

Fair play to them

how could someone get fired for that.

15 Dec 2025 14:35:19
Anyone think we should take a punt on gogic from St mirren? Knows the league he is a warrior who gives everything in games something we seem to be missing, he breaks the play up well and plays a few different positions also.

15 Dec 2025 14:46:13
Absolutely but the snobbery will come out in force soon because you've mentioned that.
We badly lack a player than digs in like him.

15 Dec 2025 14:54:51
Gogic would walk into the Rangers team tonight if he was a Rangers player.

15 Dec 2025 15:03:01
I'd take Gigi's absolutely yes from me

He would be a starter for rest of season and can be a useful squad player next season.

15 Dec 2025 15:13:21
100% i'd take Gogic. A real warrior of a player.

15 Dec 2025 15:13:27
Nothing to do with snobbery some think he would be a good signing some don't 🤯. Just because someone doesn't think he would be a good signing is not snobbery.

15 Dec 2025 15:15:06
It would be a no from me.

Very good at what he does, but would struggle to adapt to the demands of being a Rangers CH.

15 Dec 2025 15:21:47
Yes Gogic for me, also how can teams like St Mirren sign forwards for penny's who look much better than our multi million pound strikers.

15 Dec 2025 15:47:18
People now want us to sign George, Gogic and Ayunga from St Mirren but I bet if we did in a few weeks the same people would be on here complaining about poor recruitment.

15 Dec 2025 15:57:30
Just what we need right now. we were interested a couple years ago but didn't materialize like so many others.

15 Dec 2025 16:05:44
BT because it's much easier to play for st. mirren with their expectations than it is to play for Rangers, with our expectations mate 🤔 Absolutely different stratosphere altogether 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 16:19:33
Not for me with Gocic he's a good player for St Mirren but for me he does his role but not good enough on the ball.
I like the striker that scored two yesterday as well but would he be a striker that would suit the way we play?
Is he quick enough also?
We do miss a real presence up top at the moment but his all round game has to be there as well along with goals.


We don't get wide enough or get crosses in that would suit a big target man currently.
EHL would probably be more equipped to answer this but I'm sure at Rangers we are looking at certain profiles for a player.
Let's hope we start to get this right moving forward.

15 Dec 2025 16:34:51
Blue 89. It's not snobbery it's opinion.
No from me. Decent player but not Rangers class. We are that poor we will accept anything or anyone.
Ok for Spl not for Europe.
As Rangers fans we should have higher expectations.

15 Dec 2025 16:51:09
Gogic would be a great signing for us.

Seems the type to play better when around better and doesn't shrink.

Warrior is the correct term.

15 Dec 2025 16:53:08
See the big lad with the dreads that scored the first goal in and remember his name, he looked absolutely fantastic
I'd like to see more of him before commuting to an opinion bit I think from what I seen we should scout him.

15 Dec 2025 17:06:46
He would be a good squad option but not a mainstay for me.

15 Dec 2025 18:03:03
He would be a no from me, he is very much suited to the St. Mirren playstyle but feel he wouldn't handle it here and he is technically miles behind what we are looking for.

15 Dec 2025 18:19:47
Stevie G, the first goal was scored by Marcus Fraser, don't think he's got dreadlocks though.

15 Dec 2025 18:20:05
he does what he is asked to do at St Mirren well in a middle 5. no space or distance for players to move to be able to defend. how does he do in a middle 3 for us with our full backs charging forward.

same with their forwards. they send the ball long and let them fight against an isolated back 2. how does that translate into playing against a team who defend en masse and hit us on the break.

all might be able to play in our system with the demands but Gogic has been around for a few years now and not one manager has decided to bid it seems. they don't do that out of snobbery but because they down think he will be able to make that step probably.

15 Dec 2025 18:30:08
Have said this all season take him in a minute no nonsense CB better than some of what we have a the moment.

15 Dec 2025 11:05:54
It gave sense great satisfaction Wee Nacho went to alma mater and spoke to kids. Being Darvel there isn't many dark side anyway but if Nacho helped drop number to zero he's impacted wonderfully. Hat off Nacho!

15 Dec 2025 12:03:46
Can anyone translate this post into English please.

15 Dec 2025 12:43:17
You took the words out of my mouth Bouncy.

15 Dec 2025 14:23:12
Ehhh wit?

15 Dec 2025 15:05:43
Novo visited a school in Darvel, his speech was hopefully compelling enough in nature to convert the very few Celtic supporting kids into avid Rangers fans, betraying a family lineage as a result of Nacho's grace. This would be a massive positive for the local Darvel community and should be celebrated, congratulations Nacho!

Rough translation - wasn't exactly hard to pick up lads, c'mon man.

15 Dec 2025 15:30:20
Cheers Forza, I don't understand Ayrshire so your translation came in very handy.

15 Dec 2025 16:53:51
Forza 😂😂👍🏻.

I really liked Dessers ab backed him but I honestly do think we would be top if he was here. We didn't make enough chances for any striker hopefully that's changing the last couple of games in league anyway.

15 Dec 2025 11:07:14
If it was Rohl managing him all season yes, even Dessers would have struggled to score in martins team we created F all.

15 Dec 2025 11:23:22
I was never a fan of his overall play, that said his goal tally over a season was decent, thought we saw the best of him under Ferguson, McCann and Dodds, he was more instinctive and led the line much better than during Clements time.
We haven't replaced his goals and I get why his name crops up.

15 Dec 2025 11:28:09
No strike force would have placed us top under Russel Martin. Change my mind.

15 Dec 2025 11:51:37
Not for me, he didn't score enough League goals to be influential in the league standings. The way Miovski is playing the last few weeks he'll have a good chance of scoring more than CD did in his 1st season.

The issues for me is all over the park.

Butland is a wee bit of an issue.
Defence is still a big problem, with very few defensively solid players in there.
Midfield is a big problem with guys that do all there best work in their own half. We need a couple of quality 8/10s in there.
And in the forward line, Chermit doesn't look interested, and the wingers aren't contributing nearly enough.

Positives, I can see massive improvement in the system since DR came in. The build up play is far better and with players than have a better mentality I think he'll do well.

15 Dec 2025 12:00:55
He should never have been sold.

15 Dec 2025 12:26:13
Agree with all you say zikos. there's a lot more to it than missing a striker. Chance creation has been our biggest issue and lack of brain cells in the defence (angus don't hit me with numbers please 🤣)
If we are not scoring as much due to creation issue we can't be gifting the goals we do concede at same time.

15 Dec 2025 12:42:03
He took 1 in 3 chance we create very little anyone in the system under Martin so he would have struggled as well, Started to see improvement under Rohl so I'd expect Miovski etc to start grabbing more goals.

Once we shore up the back line buy at least 1 starting CB and get tav out the team we have a base to play from which will allow the team to play with more freedom imo.

15 Dec 2025 13:21:36
He was a 25 goal a season striker. That's the figure i judge a striker by.

15 Dec 2025 14:17:20
Sorry for being pessimistic but I just don't know who's going to score tonight.

15 Dec 2025 14:17:50
and half his goals (25) were scored in the league games (63) so he was almost a 1 in 2 striker in the league. he also created a lot of his own chances as we didn't do that well either in the 2 seasons he was here.

15 Dec 2025 15:10:37
Don't think that should have said.

15 Dec 2025 15:11:46
That's just nonsense Zikos.

15 Dec 2025 16:54:53
There are very little chances created for a striker like Dessers that needs 5+ chances a game to oscore 1 goal.

his goals tally looks good but if you actually look at when he scores. it didn't chance the outcomes of many game

obviously there were a couple games he got the winning goal but wasn't many. stats are the stats.

15 Dec 2025 18:34:56
Ally I take it you are looking at the league stat which says he has a 22% shot conversion rate. the same stats which said Igamane had a 13% conversion stat and Cerny a 12% conversion stat.

as a comparison against the EPL the top scorers from same website had these conversion rates Isak: 23.2, Haaland (20%) Salah (22%) and Watkins 19%. yes a more difficult league but they are the best in that league so perhaps Dessers wasn't as poor at missing chances.

I also had a look at winning goals and in 23/24 he scored in 10 games where his goals were winning goals. using that season because as a comparison Shankland only scored the game winning goal.

so you are right the stats are the stats but you are better looking at them before you use them 😉 or at least give comparisons to prove your stats.
