Rangers banter 8

08 Jan 2026 14:40:56
Does Rohl have any input to any of the potential incomings?
Is it players he has identified?
Or asked for his input on a list put in front of him?

08 Jan 2026 15:50:33
yes he will have input into the signings i would imagine.

08 Jan 2026 16:01:02
I was wondering myself, who has identified these players?

08 Jan 2026 16:02:33
possibly just you asked for a LB who can defend and has good delivery. these are the 3 we identified. are any of these of interest or which one do you want.
It was said these are from Koppen's identified targets as well so only likely to be that.

08 Jan 2026 16:04:16
MPH, very much so.

He's been working with the recruitment team going through the various profiles they've been working on and identifying the specific attributes he's looking for.

From what I heard he was was very impressed and immediately identified a number of key targets which were able to engage pretty early on.

He's also feeling them some additional parameters on areas he felt we needed to expand the profiling on ahead of the summer.

08 Jan 2026 16:08:59
Mrph the manager said the recruitment team game him names, he watched videos and then sent a list of questions, he then says he spoke to certain players,

08 Jan 2026 16:44:03
Thanks troops.
appreciate the replies.

08 Jan 2026 14:38:42
Sounds like it's Welcome to the famous Rommens and Chukwuani. Just a CD, RW and St and we are set.

08 Jan 2026 16:12:15
Things ticking along nicely daba. But a cany see us buy a striker unless we manage to shift Danilo. Even then we've still got 2 competing with each other.

08 Jan 2026 17:28:31
Both the strikers have scored 8 league goals between them Danilo i think has 3 so from the figures they aren't good enough although iv seen enough ftom Chermiti to show he could develop into a good no9.

08 Jan 2026 14:13:12
Keep one at Rangers for the next 5 years Raskin Or Barron? Loads of chat about Barron recently but for me Raskin has been outstanding and still the best player at the club? What's everyone's thoughts?

08 Jan 2026 15:44:19
Barron for me - based on development potential, work rate, character, and yes - nationality.

08 Jan 2026 15:46:38
Raskin won't stay for 5 years he will go onto a better league.

If Barron is as good as some think he will go onto better things also none will be here for 5 years.

08 Jan 2026 16:01:46
I'm keeping Barron.

08 Jan 2026 16:03:46
I don't think either will be here for 5 years. idea is to develop and trade and do that within lifetime of their contract.

08 Jan 2026 16:05:50
Raskin will be moving on in the summer.

08 Jan 2026 16:11:18
Hypothetically obviously storm, don't think either will be here in 5 years if you could choose one to stay who would it be?

08 Jan 2026 16:13:59
I'd rather keep Barron I think he could go onto be the better player.

08 Jan 2026 14:09:39
I doubt anyone has watched this Belgium LB in any great detail but he appears to be inbound. Anyone any thoughts on him?

08 Jan 2026 16:04:41
only that we need a tab at top of page for Rangers Rommens now 🙈

never seen him but if Koppen identified him he must be a decent prospect.

08 Jan 2026 16:07:10
Only clips lmac, and we all know they can lead to dissapointment, but he's looked decent from what I've watched. Hope he does the same in our shirt mate.

08 Jan 2026 16:14:44
No seen him play but looks sturdy. Hopefully he can do his primary job first n foremost. Papac style n if he can mix it up n whip in nice deliveries then we're onto a winner. Comes with a good pedigree playing in the Belgium first division. High hopes for the lad.

08 Jan 2026 16:29:27
Looks like a sound player, better than Penrice who I always saw as backup.

08 Jan 2026 18:11:41
Iv not heard of him but atm iv complete faith in Danny so if he wants him that's good enough for me.

08 Jan 2026 14:02:13
DR reporting bid of£3.5m accepted for Tuur Rommens.

08 Jan 2026 15:37:59
DR? Nuff said.

08 Jan 2026 15:58:58
Well they must have got it from somewhere as it appears true.

08 Jan 2026 13:42:06
I like that we're not going down lower leagues in England for all our signing targets. that's not worked for us about time we think out the box.

08 Jan 2026 15:19:20
I agreed Baxter, that's not to suggest we shouldn't be scouting those leagues as there will 100% be gems there, I like the fact we seem a little more balanced in approach.

I guess the proof will be in the pudding come May.

08 Jan 2026 10:29:41
Does Aasgaard have a future at Rangers? See plenty writing him off, watching him Technically he looks outstanding to me touch dribbling passing etc Physically he's big strong quite quick his mentality just looks weak! Reading between the lines I think Rohl rates him but needs to improve him mentally!

Keep or get rid? Personally it's a must keep for me.

08 Jan 2026 10:52:29
I'd be keeping him R1, and seeing if he improves the second half of the season.

08 Jan 2026 11:12:33
I would keep him as well but he needs to find a good level and do it consistently. At the moment we see it in flashes.

08 Jan 2026 11:24:26
Keep, he's only just in the door, let him get a season under his belt then judge him next season, takes time for some to settle and I think he falls into that category.

08 Jan 2026 11:24:35
Get rid for me.

08 Jan 2026 11:25:55
I'd keep, some players I think you forget their age. I like a lot of his attributes like you say big, strong and good with his feet.

08 Jan 2026 11:36:35
He looks outstanding? A don't see it total waste off money for his size and bulk He should bossing games but he actually looks lost sometimes.

08 Jan 2026 12:14:41
He's definitely got something about him there's no doubt about that, but something seems missing, can't quite put my finger on it. It could solely be down to confidence for the boy, hope it is.

08 Jan 2026 12:17:29
It's amazing what a few good performances and wins can do. A lot of players now looking very good additions.

To the point I'm actually think we now have a decent side with a few additions of quality we can really push for this title 😃.

08 Jan 2026 12:17:40
He needs to realise he literally has it all, I know this a modern thing and not from most of our time but a sport phycologist would do him the world of good! See so many top sportsmen kicking on with a bit of work on the mind! He's got the ability to play at a real high level IMO let's hope we can get him right!

08 Jan 2026 12:19:05
It's silly season again. Windass, Watson, Silas Anderson, Chuckuani, Penrice, Mbuyama, Dorrens. How about Que Sera Sera?

08 Jan 2026 12:26:10
I would keep until end of season, clearly a player in there and you'd think he would want to impress for the Norway squad

His feet are quick however he is so slow and most times when he gets the ball he turns backwards. (most, not all)

08 Jan 2026 12:41:38
Who does he play for Whatsmyname?

08 Jan 2026 12:50:28
I think we need to persevere with him, Rohl seems to have a different idea of where he operates best and he did get two important goals a couple of weeks ago. He does need to toughen up a bit both physically and mentally but we need to work with him on that.

If possible I would not start him in the next couple of OF games, use him as a sub and get him more used to these games.

08 Jan 2026 12:50:58
It's a keep from me, he's not a world beater today but he's got something about him. If he improves then we could have a player.

08 Jan 2026 13:26:49
Aasgaard was supposed to be our left 8 in summer…he's miles off it. sub fine take a bit of pressure off him he has the attributes but needs coaching if he's to get by in Scotland.

For me tochi is going to be left 8 and we may still be in market for a 6.

08 Jan 2026 13:42:05
Lol Kaiser.

08 Jan 2026 13:42:40
Scored 100 goals last season.

08 Jan 2026 14:11:50
Definitely keep. There's a real player in there. I hope he can adapt to the pace of our game and Rohl can help him develop. I think that lad could make us some real coin in the future.

08 Jan 2026 14:39:26
Aasgaard in the SPFL:-
18 appearances ( 11 starts ).
3 goals.
2 assists.
88% accurate passes in own half.
83% accurate passes in opposition half.
69% successful dribbles.
61% ground duels won.
41% aerial duels won.
Loses possession on average 7 times per game.


He definitely has something.
And for Rohl to improve or bring out of him.
Sometimes he takes too long on the ball.
Other times he looks half-heartedly in his approach.
Maybe he just needs longer to learn / earn his role in Rohl's set up and to be confident in his own ability.

08 Jan 2026 14:58:00
Technically gifted but doesn't effect games.
Keep until summer and reasses.
He Definitely needs to back himself more.
Very safe player. Could do with a bit of gile, be braver in creating.
Let DR and coaching staff work with Him and see where he is in 6 months.

08 Jan 2026 15:48:14
He may be a player that needs a year to get use to the football.

08 Jan 2026 16:06:54
MPH and those are the stats who we think he is rubbish. those are probably figures in top 20 percentile so imagine how he will be with just a small improvement.

08 Jan 2026 16:10:27
Kaiser he plays for Motherwell B, well B.

Really sorry aboot that wan btw.

08 Jan 2026 08:42:46
£4m bid about to be accepted for Chukwuani apparently according to Scott Burns. He also says we are expecting to bring in a CB and mentions Mbuyamba who is at Volendam, 24 and ooc in the summer. Previously linked and mentioned on here a few times.

08 Jan 2026 10:39:33
Mbuyamba's full name is Xavier Tshimanga Ntite Mukendi Mpoyi Mbuyamba. Think we'll call him Xavier.

08 Jan 2026 12:13:07
I will just call him dodie.

08 Jan 2026 12:32:45
If the wean wants that on his strip she can buy it.

08 Jan 2026 12:55:34
Don't know much about these guys but I am not unhappy about the positions that they play, which all need improving. we need to do something with the forward line, whether its a new striker who will score regularly or more creativity to make more chances for the strikers we've got.

I'm not criticising what we are doing but we won't win the league purely on set piece goals and though we did score three in open play against Celtic, these were chances that other sides with packed defences won't offer up.

08 Jan 2026 14:46:41
in the league we have scored 32 goals with only 10 of those coming from corners (only 4 against Hearts or Celtic) so it isn't as if those are the only goals we score. those 32 goals come from 13 different scorers as well which is good in a way as we aren't reliant on one CF (Dessers? ) scoring. similarly our assists are across 14 players so there isn't just one player opposition shut down and we don't assist. could we improve well yes of course.

take Hearts where Shankland and Braga have scored just under 1/3 of their goals. so is the logic the same that they don't win the league if they stop scoring. over half of their assists come from kyziridis and Milne. so if they get injured or you stop them then they don't score as many.

there are too many unknowns in the game to be quite as black and white though surely.

08 Jan 2026 15:21:16
My feeling was 4 in WSL, left centre half, centre midfielder, winger and centre forward.

If we get 4 first team players for those positions I think we'll be better off.
