Rangers Transfer Rumours 5

14 Nov 2025 09:05:32
Chris Jack reporting this morning that Danny Rohl is considering hiring a set piece coach as well as the ex-player coach role and the 3 names mentioned for ex player role were Stevie Smith, Neil McCann and Steven Davis.

A set piece coach could be a superb appointment for us just look what it's done for Arsenal.

14 Nov 2025 09:48:11
I'd be all for a set piece coach, we def need help in that area. Hopefully their remit expands to how to defend set pieces too.

I'd be happy with Smith, McCann or Davis. Still would Doddsy in there too.

14 Nov 2025 10:00:06
Good set piece planning mates a massive difference to a team. I think you're easily talking 5-10 points per season with the right work done at both ends if the pitch. Never mind the potential for marginal gains in tight cup ties.

I think we've been woeful in both attacking and defending set pieces in recent times so would be 100% for this is we can get a good one in.

14 Nov 2025 10:34:29
Losing stupid goals from corners/free kicks and not scoring enough at other end has been the norm for us for so long - happy to see any improvement there to be fair so am all for it!

14 Nov 2025 10:55:13
Why don't we have one already? It's 2025.

14 Nov 2025 11:41:03
Think if could be Smith.

14 Nov 2025 11:41:53
Rostosto Martin had one.

14 Nov 2025 12:05:14
Rostosto because Clement publicly said he didn't want one. Martin assigned them to one of his coaches who wasn't a set piece special-ist and when Gerrard left he took his with him and we never replaced because the guys coming in didn't want one.

It also mentions in the article that the set piece coach that comes in will be responsible for both offensive and defensive set pieces. So should see us be more solid as well as threatening.

14 Nov 2025 12:17:04
Ayrshire cheers, because i thought he brought a special-ist in mate, I was wondering why nothing was different, because we don't score but conceded many.

14 Nov 2025 12:29:57
Just look at Arsenal it's massive, Great move by Rohl IMO if true.

14 Nov 2025 12:31:23
Will be interesting to see how this one plays out, the majority of head coaches / managers don't use set piece coaches as to be effective they usually require 30-40% of the coaching time.

This is why it's usually integrated within the wider coaching process.

14 Nov 2025 14:34:15
Didnt we have one under Gerrard and it worked well?

14 Nov 2025 14:34:48
Think good idea, until I heard billy bob Thelwell, his other son being lined up.

14 Nov 2025 14:41:00
Interesting EHL.

I wouldn't be surprised if set pieces contributed to 30-40% of goals for and against. Seeing we are constantly troubled by set pieces and we've got on of the best set piece takers in our history in Tav, I'd say it would be very much worth spending much more time coaching this.

14 Nov 2025 14:48:07
Something needs done as our defence and attack at set pieces is absolutely woeful.
Any improvement will be welcome.

14 Nov 2025 15:44:51
Rostosto, I was going post similar, we do lose a good amount of goals from set plays.

14 Nov 2025 17:38:21
How about we just have good all round coaches, absolutely no need to justify someone to teach a professional footballer how to defend or attack set pieces. Especially on the money they get. Ludicrous football strikes again. Baffles me how pampered these aholes are.

14 Nov 2025 17:42:12
I've been closing my eyes at corners for years, ironically so have most of the defence.

14 Nov 2025 18:13:08
Not sure a set piece coach is for teaching you how to defend, would that not be a defensive coach. i think EHL meant that only 30% of the time coaching would be on set piece, not that we score or lose 20-40% of goals from set pieces.

14 Nov 2025 18:56:27
Rostosto, again, I think the perception on this one can skew reality.

We typically average around 0.8 goals conceded per game, with around 13% being conceded directly from set pieces.

If anything I would suspect that the set piece coach would be more focused on making us a better threat from set pieces as we do get a much higher than average corner count and we definitely convert much lower than average.

14 Nov 2025 19:11:25
We should have a set piece coach but we would also need to sign some players who will attack the ball in both boxes. Tavernier gets slated at times for us not scoring from corners but a lot of his deliveries are into good areas but we haven't had a centre back brave enough to attack the ball since Goldson and Helander left.

Currently Djiga and Souttar are no threat and Cornelius is actually better at anticipating the second contact than he is at contesting the initial cross.

15 Nov 2025 12:06:17
Regarding the ex-player coach, I thought that when Barry was in charge our midfield 3 of Barron, Raskin and Dio worked very well. Due to Barry? Or Dodds/McCann? Whoever comes in they need to have a personality to work with and challenge Rohl and not just pick up the cash as a fans rep in the dugout.

15 Nov 2025 12:34:53
Big Albertz what a set piece specialist right there
Smash it as hard as I can

Guy was awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍.

16 Nov 2025 13:45:58
Blue Dream, that wouldn't work for corners and wide free kicks.

13 Nov 2025 18:20:21
I was chatting to a lad I know that works with the Northern Ireland U21's and he feels Steve Davis will join the Rangers coaching team once N. I qualification campaign is complete.

13 Nov 2025 20:06:30
What if they're in a playoff as they won't take place till next March I think?

13 Nov 2025 20:17:31
According to steven Davis a week or so ago, he stated he's had absolutely no contact with Rangers, over the job to join Rohl's backroom team 🤔 I would love wee davo to be involved with Rangers again 🙏.

13 Nov 2025 20:59:12
Think whoever it is with announced very soon.

13 Nov 2025 21:59:01
I guess we will know by this time tomorrow Teddy if that's the case.

14 Nov 2025 07:38:26
I think we should know the identity to who Danny Rohl chooses as part of his backroom team, before we play livingston a week tomorrow 🤔.

14 Nov 2025 11:25:46
Sir Walter yes think that's the plan.

14 Nov 2025 13:14:19
Its fairly easy for international coaches to work for clubs and only be involved in match preparations for their country. Apart from at the major countries this happens all the time. Scotland have been doing it for years so if Davo is Rohls choice there is no reason he can't join right away.

12 Nov 2025 10:32:20
A few out of contract SPFL players that the club have been keeping an eye on.
(This does not mean we are signing them - simply monitoring and watching them)

David Watson (no surprise)
Beni Baningime
Tawanda Maswanhise.

12 Nov 2025 11:02:35
Would like Watson but more so Baningime.

12 Nov 2025 11:47:40
I really like Maswanhise. Whether he would be good for us I'm not sure but I do enjoy what I see of him.

12 Nov 2025 12:21:24
I could see us being interested in Watson but just don't see it with the other two. Maybe a season ago when we needed to pad out the squad with frees but not now.

Pretty sure Beningime has been in his last year a couple of times and we've not shown any interest and the other guy is having a good season, but beware of one season wonders.

12 Nov 2025 12:30:49
Been saying since I first seen benigame play for hearts that we should be looking at him, that said, his injury record isn't great.

12 Nov 2025 12:39:13
Ayrshire, I just had a look at him, Motherwell have an option for another year.

12 Nov 2025 13:02:06
Watson will go to celtic. They've been rumoured to being interested in him, plus he supports them.

12 Nov 2025 15:07:21
Assuming I know what " keeping an eye on " means, then the hearts boy is one I would like to see in a higher quality team, I also really like Bushiri at Hibs and have done for some time, has something we haven't got,

12 Nov 2025 14:56:00
Watson's à blue nose as is his family.

12 Nov 2025 15:59:39
When he's on it that lad Baningime looks a right tidy player.
I thought the boy Watson was a Celtic fan? Heard him being mentioned as both a few times now so who knows. Not that I care. Good young talent. Need more Scots in the squad.

12 Nov 2025 16:31:00
Baninigime was best player on the pitch when hearts turned over tr other mob he's certainly someone i'd be int in along with Watson.

12 Nov 2025 16:33:24
Lisbon, david watson is a Celtic supporter my friend 100%.

12 Nov 2025 18:24:36
Pointed out bani game over a year ago easily, and was laughed at.

Then told me snobbery on this site at times really underlines people's knowledge ov football.

Same with the lad Sulla at Dundee he is a good player too.
Where did he go this season again? Livingston? Shocked at that.

12 Nov 2025 18:52:26
The old snobbery getting used again 🙄.

I would take 2 out the 3.

12 Nov 2025 18:57:51
If Sylla was any good he wouldn't have went to Livingston.

12 Nov 2025 19:16:44
I'd have taken Sylla or Baningame.

Katic, Bashirie and Gogic would be a no.

Watson if also like to see signed.

12 Nov 2025 20:22:28
Scott good players sometimes fly under the radar mate look at the players we've signed over the years from spl clubs there is plenty of good players around mate

That was my point of sylla going to livi it was a serious shocker to me.

I bet if hearts didn't have baningame they'd have went in for sylla. I'd still take him at Ibrox.
Very good wee player indeed.
Similar to banangame but prefer the latter.

12 Nov 2025 21:08:25
I agree Scott it's madness.

12 Nov 2025 21:59:53
Snobbery…. Jesus Christ 🙈.

12 Nov 2025 22:23:24
Watson is 100% a Celtic fan my brother played a little with him at Kilmarnock a few years ago.

13 Nov 2025 07:54:05
I guess you can apply the 'snobbery' logic to players playing at other clubs in the SPL + at a push.

However, for Katic he's been at the club and proven that he wasn't technically good enough.

13 Nov 2025 10:46:37
Cav will have made it clear to Thelwell we need a back up wide receiver or running back.

13 Nov 2025 11:21:52
Ehl bagree the Katic part is not snobbery it's simply down to an individual opinion and that is fair that we all have differing opinions. Nothing wrong with that mate.

With sylla bankngame shanklamd braga or others around spl over last 5 years it's total snobbery.

Look at latapy, novo, canniggia (could've said past it, some did) k Thomson, Steven Thompson, Kenny Miller, Marvin Andrews. Lee Wallace, Andy Webster. Neil McCann, soo ok NI'm and so on…
There are plenty
Of talented players we have acquired in the past from our own league people wouldn't have wanted at that time.

Look at John mcginn lewis Ferguson Scott brown Josh Doig Calvin Ramsey the right back at Brentford. Rozs Stewart. Andy Robertson, Stuart Armstrong and many many more as to the ones we missed out on.

It's a snobbery not to look in your own backyard. There's no other word for it.

13 Nov 2025 11:24:34
Also in terms of this technically good enough type of phylosophy.

Has the players we've had since Karic left beem "technically " good enough Ehl,?

Cause I'll tell u one thing they're not. And that's fuc*** good enough.

Katic is better than the lot of them at defending and that's his job. I don't want players who can pass a ball at the back I want players who can clear a ball.

13 Nov 2025 12:35:37
I've clearly got Watson's allegiances wrong. Apologies.

13 Nov 2025 12:41:50
Take baningame all day and Watson.

13 Nov 2025 13:31:17
Technically better than Katic - Yes.

Technically good enough - Debatable.

13 Nov 2025 13:36:18
Glen Kamara also.

13 Nov 2025 14:41:41
It's not what you are I want it's what Rohl wants that matters 🤯.

13 Nov 2025 14:47:33
I wanted lewis Ferguson but didn't want Shankland so is that still snobbery Stevie? Or is it that I like one player but don't the other?


Ps I would have taken shanks before any of the strikers we brought in this summer.

13 Nov 2025 15:47:33
No storm that's opinion. Mate.

Atleast your not turning your nose up to every player like a lot of fans do.

Football is a game of opinions.

Sometimes though it can be frustrating when people's unions are biased or blind etc.

13 Nov 2025 15:49:10
Ehl

We've had technically better than Katic.

We've still not had good enough.

We're agreeing here mate.

My theory therefore is if u can't get the technically skillet u would like is it not better to at least Ger a defender that can defend,

U want a technically gifted defender that can pass n all that rubbish right?

Ye can't get one so best bet? Get one that can defend, Jesus Christ man.

13 Nov 2025 15:50:50
That's utter nonsense Storm, you said on many occasions that Lewis Ferguson wasn't good enough for us.

13 Nov 2025 16:30:41
Stevie,

The issue is that when we watch defenders defending for other teams they look good as they have different demands.

Souttar for Rangers in the SPL has an average of around 60 passes per game and a pass accuracy of around 90%.

Last season Katic had and average of 34 passes per game with a pass accuracy of around 75%.

So although he may have strengths you admire, when playing at our club his weaknesses are massively exposed.

13 Nov 2025 16:42:18
Why does the word snobbery get thrown in when anyone disagrees with a player suggestion from the SPFL? I didn't want Shankland as I thought we could get better than him, especially off the back of last season (which on current evidence we didn't) but I wanted Barron and Mulligan, I would take Watson and like the look of Maswanhise, Baningame, Braga, Bowie and wouldn't mind any of them coming in. Is that still snobbery because I didn't want Shankland or Gogic or Armstrong who used to play for Killie?

It's personal preference and opinions. Nothing to do with snobbery. Just another buzzword to label folk that don't have the same opinion as you.

13 Nov 2025 18:04:01
DTB please go back and check you are 100% wrong. I have never once said Ferguson wasn't good enough. Plenty did but not me so you are a liar. It's a ridiculous post from you. I had plenty of disagreements on here about Ferguson quite a few with coops.

13 Nov 2025 18:04:36
Correct Ayrshire it's not snobbery but it's been the new buzzword in here for last 2/3 years.

13 Nov 2025 18:05:11
Good post ehl. You.

13 Nov 2025 18:06:25
Stevie I would say your opinion on katic is biased/blind tho so the point am making just because it's different from yours.

13 Nov 2025 18:07:26
Ayrshire I wanted mulligan I also wanted penrice too. They are some Scottish players fans like that others don't but it's not snobbery and never will be.

13 Nov 2025 19:08:50
Scott Watson is a Rangers fan.

13 Nov 2025 20:54:11
He's definitely a Celtic fan.

14 Nov 2025 02:01:17
Ehl tell me Katic defensive stats compared to Souttar and all out defenders?

Same with this season mate?

Bet he's heads and shoulders above them?

Storm am sound eith diff opinions mate but if your going to voice one then watxh the guy at least once or twice in games I've mentions.

14 Nov 2025 02:32:32
Diomande has not been great signing
Raskin will be away soon
As will Bajrami
And assgaard very close to being considered a flop

So midfield could do with one maybe two more in place of couple these guys.

14 Nov 2025 05:32:11
I hold my hands up storm and have stated on numerous occasions that at the time i didn't think lewis Ferguson was good enough for our midfield and i've admitted i got that badly wrong because lewis has proven what a very good midfielder he is/was mate 🤔 But there was definitely no snobbery regarding lewis Ferguson on my part, it was an opinion only, as i've mentioned a good few players that play in our scottish league, that i think Rangers should have signed over the years 🤔.

14 Nov 2025 05:33:21
David Watson RFC is definitely a Celtic supporter, not that it matters regarding us trying to sign him hopefully 🙏.

14 Nov 2025 07:26:17
Stevie,

Last season Souttar win 73% of ground duels.

Katic win 65% while playing for Zurich, and 49% while playing for Plymouth.

Last season Souttar win 89% of Arial duels

Katic win 72% while playing for Zurich and 65% while playing for Plymouth

Both players average recovery sprints at 29km /h.

14 Nov 2025 10:56:17
Coops I wasn't having a go at you I was just hoping you remembered that I wanted lewis Ferguson so to our DTB as a complete and utter liar that he is. He is obviously getting me mixed up with someone else as it's the only explanation. I rated Ferguson.

14 Nov 2025 10:56:26
It's a bloody tough ol' job being a Rangers CB I'll tell you that.

14 Nov 2025 10:57:45
The stats prove Souttar is better and playing at a better level and even he isn't good enough.

14 Nov 2025 11:30:18
My cousins follow Argyle and said Katic was outstanding and the club couldn't get a deal done to keep him, he went to Germany for a much better deal.

14 Nov 2025 11:33:06
Strom, this is where it gets difficult - g
Good enough.

Souttar's performance and stats against Roma were good - but he got caught out by a great piece of forward play by a 30m striker which resulted in a goal.

Where we need to be as a team is that when someone makes a mistake we have a structure to minimise the impact - unfortunately we're not there, so when Souttar was out fixed, Tav was also out of position - two mistakes in a row equals goal against that level of opposition.

14 Nov 2025 13:22:20
Its not about snobbery, its about standards. Maybe we look at the current team and think somebody from the Scottish league would be better but that's a low bar and you still have to ask yourself are they at the level you want Rangers to progress to, not are they better than what we have currently signed. Yes, Bushiri and Gogic probably look like an improvement on Djiga but that's not saying much. We have missed a couple of signings from Scotland but we have brought some in, with mixed success.

I thought Kamara was a great signing but not all agree and we brought in supposedly the best centre half in the league in Souttar. Has he been a success? Not for me. I would have loved to signed Miller but he didn't want to come, we have signed Barron and Cameron but they too have their detractors. Its not snobbery its opinion.

14 Nov 2025 16:23:29
Ehl stats pretty much speak for themselves mate.
I really liked reading how u put that point across those few msgs.
Top man

Thanks for that. I stand corrected to an extent I suppose.

14 Nov 2025 18:18:27
No worries Stevie.

I actually have nothing against Katic, is a solid pro who has always been willing to put everything on the line.

If he was younger than 29, I'd probably be happy to have him in the squad.

14 Nov 2025 18:41:47
I know you weren't having a go at me storm and yes i do back you on this, as you did want Rangers to sign lewis Ferguson and rated him mate 👍🇬🇧.

15 Nov 2025 01:00:44
Yeah I just love what he offers skill set wise. I'm shocked his aerial duels won are so low. When I've seen him that's been his most obvious skill. Last ditch tackles and winning almost every ball. He really has played outstanding when I've seen him.

He could be a good squad player for sure, look at baloguns age, centre backs get better aftet 30.

15 Nov 2025 13:25:05
Cool coops 👍


Great pst wsl.

11 Nov 2025 22:04:51
Few pieces from me,
Danny Rohl well liked from players. I have to say he's handled himself really well in the media and with fans.
Three SPL clubs looking at Curtis on loan.
Rice having two.
Macausland loan expected to be made Permanent.

11 Nov 2025 23:02:22
Cheers Union 👍Curtis needs a loan.

12 Nov 2025 01:01:06
Rice having two what?

12 Nov 2025 01:16:49
Rice meeds a loan to Motherwell for 18 months I think. If they'll have him.

Send Mikey Moore back and play Curtis.

Send Aaron's back and sign a new right back

Semd Djiga back sign Katic.
Give Nsiala more mins or a 6 month loan to spl team.

12 Nov 2025 02:42:38
Bang on Stevie G, i couldn't agree more. Always liked Katic, wish we would have kept him. Nsiala, like Curtis derserves a chance to play ahead of all these loan players. i like Moore but like all others he's just going to go back to his parent club. We need to develop our own.

12 Nov 2025 03:48:05
Bring back Katic deary me. Let's bring back worell whilst we are at it.

12 Nov 2025 06:48:39
Curtis is better loaned out because he will struggle for games at Rangers right now stevie.

12 Nov 2025 08:51:57
Is Rice out of contract at the end of the season? feels like another one that just never really made it if so, ideally an extension and a loan to give him one last crack at it would be good.

12 Nov 2025 09:30:48
Bailey Rice is a free agent end of season, and can sign for another club in the winter transfer window, another young talent left to rot.
Both him and Curtis should both be getting minutes in every game.

we should be starting wth Gassama on the LW and Cortes on the RW with Danilo as CF., and Aasgaard as CAM

2nd attack should be Moore LW, Matondo RW, Chermiti as CF,
Curtis as CAM.

why curits as Cam, the lad has no fear and is willing to take long range shots on goal, as CAM he is more dangerous in my opinion.

a midfiled 4 of

Curtis CAM.
Lyall CM
Rice CDM
Barron CDM

i think would do very well in smaller games until they all gel and are a bit older. '

Just my opinion

Imagine that a full midfield of scottish players at Rangers.

will never happen though.

we'd rather let them waste away then when there confidence and flair is shot to pieces, offload them to lower level clubs.

12 Nov 2025 09:43:08
What am i reading stevie g what are you on about micky Moore has been our best player from danny took over 3 wins in the league in a row and we're still so negative the fans have a huge part in our downfall am in no way happy with how the season has started far from happy but even when we win it's negative people seem to forget the start wee had under gerrard in the league also, 2 away games and a home game and only conceded 1 goal, and as for katic he wasn't even as good as goldson so what's the point in going back the way all the time does not mean because our signings haven't been great we need to just sign all the players we had 5 years ago, i was at the darts at wolverhampton at the weekend and my cousin facetimed danny and he answered lying on the couch with the Rangers tracksuit on we were singing his song and had a quick chat and one thing i took from the chat is he will do his all to make us up there competing again and also knows European results haven't been good enough.

12 Nov 2025 09:50:50
Rice contract expires in may, he wants to leave.

12 Nov 2025 09:52:36
Very short memories here! Not putting too fine a point on it, Nsiala was God Awful and should have been sold in the summer. Mikey Moore has been one of our best players in the past few weeks and deserves his place in the team.

Agree Curtis should be loaned out for the rest of the season if he's not being played. While he looked good, he needs the chance to develop.

12 Nov 2025 09:59:00
Moore much better option. Curtis needs game time and loan makes sense
Katic - just no - let's move on.

12 Nov 2025 10:31:12
The problem is Curtis needs a loan not forced into the team. Send Moore back is daft as out of the loans it's between him and Cornelius for best performer over the rest of the loans.

We need to sign a LB, CB and 6 this coming window as a minimum and they should be starters with the CB and 6 being players who show leadership and the LB should be more experienced and more physical than Meghoma imo.

I would send Djiga back and send Nsiala out on loan to SPFL and Fernandez be back up to Souttar, Cornelius and a new CB.

If Raskin won't sign a new deal he should be sold but only at the right price and that money can be used to get a quality CB, 6 and LB. If we can find a buyer for Danilo I'd let him leave and get a quality CF in as well who can link play and finish.

I wouldn't mind another option on the wing as well but I'm not wanting to be too greedy.

12 Nov 2025 10:32:01
Curtis and Rice will both get games he needs the full squad right now till he can try to sort things out in Jan, huge job but a really smart coach. Hopefully Kev will run out of mates to buy players from or Andy eventually sees what the guy is and gets rid.

12 Nov 2025 10:51:17
Joe Worrall Got a hard time if the fans was only young when he came to us for me cb are best from 30 onwards.

12 Nov 2025 11:05:31
DTB you must have been watching a different Nsiala from me, he was always going to make mistakes.

12 Nov 2025 11:26:30
Another young player we had in our academy Connor Allan who is now at Falkirk has been called up to the Scotland u21 squad.
Hopefully Curtis gets some game time this season as he has bags of potential.

12 Nov 2025 12:05:55
Sending loan players back in January will come with significant financial penalties - so unless their clubs recall them, I doubt this will happen.

I hope Rice is allowed to leave in January, he needs to go and play regular football, but personally don't thinking he's ready to compete in the SPL - top end of the Championship would be best option.

Nsiala I suspect will be moving to Belgium in January.

Curtis, will hopefully start to get a bit of game time between now and January. Think for his development he's best to stay with us for this season.

Katic would be a massive no for me.

12 Nov 2025 12:12:40
If Rice was good enough he would be playing more. too many managers saying the same things about him

He looks every inch a Championship player like McPake before him.

12 Nov 2025 12:13:35
Rice has shown nothing in any of the opportunities he's been given.

We need to remember that Curtis is only 18, this is his first season around the first team. I don't believe we should loan him out as we never see any benefit from doing that. I think McGregor and Adam might be the last guys we had that went on loan and came back to flourish.
As for Rice I don't believe he has been left to rot, Clement and Ferguson both tried to give him opportunities but he just never did enough.

It would be great if he could turn it around but if he's leaving at the end of the season, why waste our time. For me Lowry showed far more in the first team and he really was a wasted talent.

12 Nov 2025 12:31:54
Rice and Curtis really need to go on loan and get games. Curtis should be getting much more than he is at us.

12 Nov 2025 12:38:29
Think that's harsh on Nsiala Dothebouncy, he had two poor games against Killie and St Mirren. He also had some very good games. Mind him whipping in a cross like a winger for an assist and scoring as well. Remember Bassey had a few nightmares before he came good. Can't just write young players off after a couple of bad games.

12 Nov 2025 12:39:19
A bit confused by your response My Star, you think he was okay but was always going to make mistakes? Is that okay in your view? He was worse than any of the players currently playing Centre Half in our team and that's quite a statement.

Never good enough and not looking likely to ever be good enough. Move him on and we look for a replacement.

12 Nov 2025 12:39:45
People remember the OF goal and romanticise it but forget that Katic was a really really poor footballer. If this is the level Stevie you want then god help us. Cribari could turn quicker than Katic. Remember he was so poor we went and signed Helander. Nsaila has some potential but deary me we need to do better.

12 Nov 2025 12:48:49
Katic made Argyle solid even beat Liverpool and he got a right good whack on the mouth that day, doing well at Schalke now. contracted till 2028.

12 Nov 2025 15:12:36
Nothing whatsoever to do with the parkhead goal, and an insult to people's intelligence to say that
I made a lot of money on Katic and correct score that day
But I don't think Katic is good enough for what we want.

12 Nov 2025 14:57:31
I don't find my comment harsh in any way, so he whipped in a cross and scored. So did Ryan Kent on many occasions yet he was still getting crucified on here! Nsiala is awful, he's never going to be good enough. My opinion and I'm happy to stand by it.

12 Nov 2025 15:01:20
DTB, he is only learing the game of course he'll make mistakes, first few games he was very good, did say then mistakes will come.

12 Nov 2025 16:13:42
Didn't clement say he only spoke fluent french?

Look at his defensive partner, Propper, enough said.

Lad was thrown in at the deepend, and left to pretty much cover proppers postion as well in some games, as propper is slower than a deed snail.

Personally i thought Nsiala was best suited to LB when we played Jefte in front of him those 2 were excellent together on the left side.
Nsialas passing was fantastic in that game.

Nsiala was good enough to play all the way to the final in the Europa Youth League for AC Milan, before Koppen made his move to get him, several good clubs wanted him, Koppen convinced him to chose Rangers and the new player mocel revolution he started, but never got to continue, hope he gets away soon as we are not helping him progress and he is still very young, as EHL said Belgian league would be a very good move for him and he can come on to his true potential there, can see his value shoot up once he gets regular game time, and is confidence back.

Look at Nobel Mendy now in The Spanish Premier League, clowned Real Madrids attack and has something really special about him, a straight up, very fast, solid defender, with superb awareness, shuts down all sorts of attacks, maybe PSV will make their move now, after we passed him up, exactly the kind of defender we need, but can;t see him coming to Rangers now, he is destined for a big club and a big money move soon, sill only 21 too.
would have been an abolsute steal for 4-5 mill based on his current form.
Him and Bassey for example would have been near impossible to get past.

all players make mistakes even the 100 to 200 million ones.

12 Nov 2025 16:39:42
Sadly Katie could not trap a bag of cement or pass water.

12 Nov 2025 18:47:51
Copland, really pleased for young Allan getting called into the Scotland U21 squad but its not really much of an achievement, you pretty much only need to be born here, be playing first team football and breathing to make that squad. Its managed by an idiot and pretty much gets beaten every time it plays.

12 Nov 2025 18:56:31
Katic never has been good enough. Fans only like him because he scored against Celtic.

DTB once again having a go at a young player who isn't awful at all just shows yourself up and fans like you are the reason youngsters don't come through at Ibrox. The majority of your posts are about nisala it's embarrassing.

12 Nov 2025 19:48:44
I couldn't care less aboit the OF goal. It's history.

I'm telling yous Katic is a cracking defender and he's exactly what this side is missing to a tee.

That's it pure and simple. Nothing to do with anything else other than what he offers in skill set and ability.

12 Nov 2025 20:02:17
The problem we have is none of our CHs are physical enough, Nsiala to lightweight imo, just like propper. Someone mentioned Bashiri from hibs, not great but a good disruptor which is the type we need to defend our box.

12 Nov 2025 22:39:00
Physical = Katic to a tee.

13 Nov 2025 02:08:29
Boring now Stevie, Katic will not return no matter how many times you want to say his name.

13 Nov 2025 07:09:33
Calb
Katic might return u just never know 😜.

14 Nov 2025 02:34:05
Fernandez 3.5 million fpr what exactly?

14 Nov 2025 02:40:55
Try saying his name three times Steve. No need to click your heels together unless you've got 👠 on.

14 Nov 2025 16:25:36
😂😂😂.

11 Nov 2025 12:30:41
What's all these rumours bout Raskin wanting out? Somebody knows something? Is he currently being offered improved deal? Hope so, longer term contract, captaincy etc. If he's unsure needs sold ASAP.

11 Nov 2025 14:10:42
Why do people think Raskin cares about captaincy as if it's some massive incentive. More pressure, more criticism which he's already said that he's struggled mentally on Sunday.

Wouldn't mind him signing a contract but he wants a move to a bigger league.

11 Nov 2025 14:43:15
Captaincy for a player who has 1 in 8 decent games and even at that is barely hitting par. Sooner he leaves the better. For a "£20m" Belgian International it's telling nobody has came in for him.

11 Nov 2025 14:53:38
They've came from Fraser Fletcher from team talk. He talks absolute nonsense.

11 Nov 2025 14:59:36
Raskin shows up 1 in 8 games and even then is decent at best. Not sure why he is captain material with his history nor get the £20m price tag other than because Belgium fancy him. It's pretty telling nobody has came in for him and think it's time to move on.

11 Nov 2025 15:39:25
It's only my opinion, however Raskin has had more poor games than good games with us. He came onto a game second half of last season, however this season has flattered to deceive more often than not.

11 Nov 2025 15:45:13
Raskin is our best player by far. Not having this 1in8 malarkey. Sure he hasn't hit the levels yet this season but I for one hope he signs a new deal, then goes and has a superb World Cup.

Then we sell. The player himself has said one day he wants to play in a better league, which should be his aim. No sure about Captaincy but he's vital to our success. Think Butland will get it when Tav leaves, if he is still around.

11 Nov 2025 16:11:33
MD95 there was a lot of interest in him summer passed.

11 Nov 2025 16:20:09
Sound md95 👍🏻.

11 Nov 2025 16:32:56
If he's not signing a new deal then he must be moved on. That absolutely must be the way the club now operates, regardless of who the player is.

11 Nov 2025 16:48:52
Celtic paid 11m for a Belgium cm that can't get near a Belgium squad never mind a key player in the team MD95.

11 Nov 2025 16:49:26
That's just nonsense MD he hasn't hit the heights this season but no one has.

11 Nov 2025 18:20:46
Bash Raskin again 😂 happened to him after his injury cannot wait in 5/6 games folk will be saying we must keep him.

11 Nov 2025 18:46:23
We should not be kowtowing to any great demands to players who are not special

Raskin is decent, imo, not special.

11 Nov 2025 20:32:08
Yes he not as good for us as he is Belgium? Wonder why that is? Could it be that those around him are not good enough? All opinions but for me he's our best player.

11 Nov 2025 21:48:24
Exactly that GMS, for Belgium he's lining up with guys like De Bruyne, Tielemans, Onana.

Different levels.

12 Nov 2025 00:25:54
You guys realise that Raskin is a Belgium international that wouldn't get into the scotland squad?

If he did he'd be a bench warmer he's never getting played in front of gilmore mcgihn and mctomany, and doesn't play in front or Ferguson

Think fans are realising when he was backed over RM his abilities and contributions were exaggerated due to how much RM was disliked

He's had a decent 6 month period but is known to be disruptive by two different managers and was likely leaking the team, won't stay in position or follow instructions, only looks good when he does his own thing at the detriment of everyone around him.

12 Nov 2025 02:25:41
Raskin will be going to WC, Scotland won't will end in glorious failure as usual.
Knowing our luck it will be Italy in play offs.

12 Nov 2025 07:08:53
My Point Made, and do you know you're talking pure nonsense about him not getting into the Scotland squad? fgs man Barron is in the Scotland squad, clearly you just haven't got any clue, Raskin isn't just in the Belgium squad his manager sees him as a key player.

12 Nov 2025 08:26:41
So here we are again! Another player being told he's bang avg or can go. Most prised asset as well!

You lot have lost the plot! 😂🤣

Raskin has been poor for a few games, yes. That's it. That's called being reasonable and mature.

The rest of you get aff the gear!

12 Nov 2025 09:01:30
GDog he's probably from the darkside.

12 Nov 2025 09:18:21
This must be the club mantra from now on - "Any player who does not want to sign extension for whatever reason must be moved on for profit " - no more Kent/buff scenarios where the club gets played like a fiddle -only then will club operate at profit along with having players who truly want to be here 🤔.

12 Nov 2025 09:35:41
Raskins only got 18 months on ihs contract and i don't think he wants to sign another one for us, he must fancy his chances elsewhere.

Lack of consistency and of course injury has hampered hi big dream move to the EPL, though someone is going to get a bargain that's for sure, my bet is he will go for 5-6 mill, half his current value.
either in the winter window or end of season.

still good money, another Beale signing we got for a bargain, he was valued at 6 mill when he came and a highly regarded CDM
nicknamed the Belgian Pitbull for a very good reason he was excellent in that position for his former club, we only payed 1.3 mill for him.

we play him too far forward, he is best at CDM.

could see him do well in the dutch or french league.

12 Nov 2025 10:35:28
My point made? naw it isny get a grip lad.

12 Nov 2025 10:53:59
Yeah he takes Barrons place he's not starting and rarely playing, Belgium International is irrelevant when he'll barely make the scotland squad, do you feel Barrons a world beater?

12 Nov 2025 11:30:42
My point, a key player for Belgium team ranked 8th in the world.

12 Nov 2025 11:32:44
You've seriously lost it My point, so he's a key player in the 8th best side in the world but wouldn't get a game for an 38th ranked national. 🤪🤣.

12 Nov 2025 14:27:35
Raskin doesn't get into the Scotland midfield but plays alongside KDB and Onana for Belgium ahead of the likes of Saelemaekers. Nah, I'm away for a lie down this is absolutely horrifying reading.

We've officially lost the plot.

12 Nov 2025 14:34:25
Belgium if producing players at the quality of Raskin will fall from that position, you ignore my point because I'm correct

Mctommany, mcginn, Billy Gilmor, Lewis ferg, who does he play in front of?

Raskin plays for Belgium because they don't have any players as good as the 4 i just listed

Its a comment on how poor the next crop of Belgium midfielders might be not how good Raskin is, he might beat Barron to the team as 5th pick but not on current form.

12 Nov 2025 14:37:26
You ignore the fact that two different management teams have said he's disruptive and was leaking the team a few weeks ago

What would you say if he wasn't a Belgium international to defend that?

He's never out performed or hit as high a level as lundstram did for us, and if you think he did i point you to dortmund and lepzig

Raskin has never been close to hitting that level for us, be realistic you got talked into exaggerating his ability because you knew him and RM were in conflict and you hated RM.

12 Nov 2025 15:45:45
We need big strong and quick, still soft and it needs sorted, right through the centre, back middle and front, teams like St Mirren with multiple hammer throwers and beasts scare some teams in this league though Hibs just displayed they have tougher beasts than them.

11 Nov 2025 11:32:29
Anyone hearing anything about ex Aberdeen RB Calvin Ramsay rumoured to be on our radar in January? Seems to have disappeared off radar at Liverpool although I am sure he played in recent cup game when Liverpool got beat. Seems to have had a number of unsuccessful loans in recent years.

11 Nov 2025 11:56:04
He couldn't get a game when he went to Killie on loan no thank you.

11 Nov 2025 12:11:50
They are apparently wanting him to go on loan again but I think the idea of him joining us will just be clickbait somewhere. I don't think right back will be a priority for us with Sterling coming back to join Tav and Aarons as options there. Ramsay has had a number of failed loans and most have been ended by him picking up injuries.

If we wanted to loan another right back I would rather it was Patterson but he has also got injured again. I would like to hear us being liked with a left back who can defend.

11 Nov 2025 12:33:37
This lad seems to have major issues regarding fitness.

A very good player if fit, valued around 1.5 million, similar to arrons loan deal.

11 Nov 2025 15:34:04
Ahh, the great ' Sterling coming back ' rumour,
8-10 days?

11 Nov 2025 15:52:44
We should be avoiding any player with fitness issues.

11 Nov 2025 18:25:07
If fit John, I think he would be a good signing for Rangers and also a Scot✌️✌️.

11 Nov 2025 19:45:43
Was thinking that last week Yately, young Scottish rb, but as being said his problems seems to be fitness mate.

12 Nov 2025 10:38:28
8 games at Killie and apparently they didn't want him risked on that Barra's plastic carpet. either liverpool or Killie, quite the farce really.
Boy has problems and I think we have quite enough the now.

11 Nov 2025 08:23:14
See the Raskin rumours have raised there head again with interest from Italy. If the figures are right think we have to sell to generate funds for Rohl to invest in sorting the current mess out.

11 Nov 2025 10:02:48
Good. Let him go. Reinvest and move on with someone who's committed long term.

11 Nov 2025 10:05:43
Borders what are the figures mate?
If Raskin doesn't sign another contract we'll be trying to sell him in January.

11 Nov 2025 10:40:26
Take the cash and spend wisely - that means keep Thelwell and Sons away from any dealings🤔👍💰.

11 Nov 2025 10:56:20
Still think we will get around 10. Maybe between 8-10.

11 Nov 2025 10:57:00
TBH I'd move Dio on as well if possible.

11 Nov 2025 11:12:04
We should be building a squad around niko not selling him.

11 Nov 2025 11:18:24
10m for a player his national manager sees as a key player would be very poor windy, keeping a player sold for 50m out the side, wouldn't be selling both Raskin and Diomande either, league isn't over for us, I'd prefer Raskin signing another contract if not he needs sold.

11 Nov 2025 12:19:14
The report is from another unreliable site and is quoting £18-20 million which to be honest is a figure that might tempt us. I just can't see any Italian club paying that in January, and EPL club maybe but there's not the same money in Italy.
We do need to get his contract situation sorted out, I know its up to him if he runs down his contract but we should be trying to avoid that at all costs and get decent money for him.


I'm not sure he'll want to move in January and possibly jeopardise his international spot this close to the World Cup.

11 Nov 2025 12:22:15
Surely if Raskin wants to further his career, he needs to move on? He will be a better player with more quality around him ✌️🇬🇧.

11 Nov 2025 13:42:33
It's rather shocking how poor at handling players the club has been of the last few years.

No wonder talent doesn't want to come here to develop.

11 Nov 2025 13:55:36
INTR - Can only build a team around someone if they want to stay🤔
Raskin is not going to be that guy.

11 Nov 2025 17:59:07
Mystar quoted as 18-20 mil which I imagine is euro so be around 15 mil in our money which I think is reasonable to expect for a current 1st player and Belgium international. I know he has not had the best season but surely we have to take into account the issues with management etc.

Would be happy if he stays but like many have said we need to get a bit more streetwise and sell when the price is right and offers are on the table. Time will tell but if an offer of 15 mil hit the table I'd wish him the best and say my farewells.

11 Nov 2025 18:19:10
Borders agreed, he doesn't sign another contract he needs sold mate.

11 Nov 2025 18:25:05
Get I think anything north of 12 we take it reinvest it in the squad sell another 2/3 hopefully reinvest 10-20 million in the squad.

11 Nov 2025 19:17:38
Think everyone can see the writing on the wall with Raskin i only worry that we maybe left it too late.

Also wondering more of this is really what his problems at the club where before that maybe they wanted to sell but Raskin happy to stay put and wind deal down.

12 Nov 2025 12:12:06
We are not getting anything over 5-6 mill for Raskin, he only has 1 more season left after this one, current value 12 mill, so will get half or less, unless he decides to ride out his contract and walk on a free, nothing we can do about either situation, we got him for 1.3 mill, he has no reason to sign a new contract and owes us nothing.

Can see an italian club picking him up for 5 mill end of season and playing him in best position CDM where he would suit that league.

Not like he has the potential of Igamane or Bassey.

we haven't played him to his best strength's like a lot of players we end up losing on the cheap, so his value will increase more at his new club once he moves on.

another fail to reign in the big money by playing a player in his best position.


I think he has been decent for us, but nowhere the top class level of past midfielders we have had like, Arteta, Van Bronckhorst, Gascoigne, Albertz to name a few.

12 Nov 2025 15:50:57
Yep new contract or cheerio can't see it being £20m considering the rockets we have doing deals. Thelwell would be in incontinence pants thinking what he could spend on guys on English div 1 benches, but maybe his boy might find something on his computer games.

10 Nov 2025 19:38:52
We are assessing two Cameroon players, one midfielder, one forward. I'm hoping it's not the case because this comes from the same guy who told me Russell Martin was a stick-on for the job almost from the start!

10 Nov 2025 20:24:03
Why are you hoping its not the case? what's wrong with 2 african players?

10 Nov 2025 20:30:10
What's wrong with Cameroon players?

10 Nov 2025 21:03:34
Hope you've made a typo there mate 😂.

10 Nov 2025 21:31:09
Safe bud. It's no yer source that's scouted them 😂.

10 Nov 2025 21:36:29
Did he give you the names of the players? Is it a case you don't rate them individually or don't rate players from Cameroon in general.

10 Nov 2025 21:44:10
Probably because we would lose them every time the ACN was on.

10 Nov 2025 21:58:11
Would rather sign foreign players than English low league players.

10 Nov 2025 22:07:13
On Facebook, he may have it wrong, bud

Reports about signing Cameroonian players (Ikpeme Stephan Aniekan and Ygor Rincesse Tsolefack) relate to a Zambian team, Nchanga Rangers Football Club, a different club entirely.

Found this earlier👍.

10 Nov 2025 23:02:18
Jfm that's not a reason not to sign potentially good players.

11 Nov 2025 01:46:00
Seems you've all missed the (feeble) attempt at humour, guys. I said the contact who told me this also predicted MARTIN, so I'd be worried about his information, not because they're Cameroon players or the ACN or Nchanga Rangers or anything else, but because they might be as inept as the bold Russell.

The only other thing he said was that both are current internationals. Next time I'll just say what I've heard.

11 Nov 2025 04:58:51
Do you know the names of these 2 players from cameroon Thorntonsuite 🤔.

11 Nov 2025 08:05:33
I never said it was storm, just trying to find a reason for the post, it doubt it was racist as some seemed to be suggesting.

11 Nov 2025 08:24:56
Etta eyong?

11 Nov 2025 08:34:17
Is the AFCON still on during the January window if so we really need players to come in right away.

11 Nov 2025 08:50:07
Thornton I had guessed that. U mb think his info jinxed lol.

11 Nov 2025 09:09:27
Their names are Nanu Mcduff and Mohamed McPherson, heard they had a connection to Scotland, but nae idea what that could be. 😛.

11 Nov 2025 09:15:31
Could be a possible there's a few OOC in June, Elliot at Reading and Magri at Toulouse and Nohou at Seattle, a Mf and a Fwd and a LB.

11 Nov 2025 11:57:38
Fork was he a cm at Toulouse?

11 Nov 2025 12:01:47
Sorry it wasn't the cm i was looking at, I just had another look, Arthur Avom, Lorient, only 20 year old and he's ooc as well.

11 Nov 2025 12:26:28
Just seen him listed as a fwd John unsure bud👍.

11 Nov 2025 12:26:43
Sorry meant Star👍.

11 Nov 2025 13:19:01
Just noticed Avom, club has a year option.

11 Nov 2025 13:47:27
Ate, seen that 2 bud👍.

12 Nov 2025 10:40:30
He turned down Leeds, cannot blame him it's hell on earth that city, but maybe Kev had that dough counted to waste on another no user.

10 Nov 2025 11:15:17
Looks like another everton and man United ex employee in line for a job at Rangers, knows Thelwell and stewart, you could not make this up, if true its dubious at the very least, we should be getting rid of these people instead of employing more, they are playing us all for fools now.

10 Nov 2025 12:51:19
Who is it?

10 Nov 2025 13:01:01
Wayne Beckham.

10 Nov 2025 13:07:23
David Harrison strong links to Thelwell and Stewart.

10 Nov 2025 13:08:27
The only thing that really matters are they good at the job, truebluesotrue.

10 Nov 2025 13:28:06
David Harrison 23 years at Everton as a DOF and then at Man United for a couple i think.

10 Nov 2025 13:28:21
Blue89, He must mean David Harrison.

10 Nov 2025 13:32:59
Don't worry mate we have been told Cavenagh knows the game so all good.

10 Nov 2025 14:03:14
I seen that Dave Harrison. Nicknamed " Contract Dave " at Everton. Looks like he fits the bill perfectly Linkedin profile? Check. Know Thelwell? Check. Know Stewart? Check.

10 Nov 2025 14:24:49
Massive difference coldo, you were told Cavenagh played the game after you saying he knew nothing about football, but that's clearly too much for you.

10 Nov 2025 15:53:29
Don't know if the fan base groups have contact with Cavanagh and co and get to voice off the fans about the going on of this lot Thelwell and co. They seem to be installing people with no Rangers interest at all.

10 Nov 2025 15:56:35
My star if the other two Thelwell, stewart, and i will add purdey as well, i don't think they are any good at their job, so it throws a bad light on this guy harrison.

10 Nov 2025 16:03:08
In all fairness when you read up on the guy he gets good reports for his effectiveness at getting things over the line when deals are being done. But still does seem like its another job for the boys its like we are turning into a Everton and Manchester United love child and on both teams recent history its not a pretty child.

10 Nov 2025 16:07:31
Trueblue you really think he's done that job for that length of time if he isn't good at it?

10 Nov 2025 16:12:44
Sinbad from Brookside.

10 Nov 2025 16:22:33
I've heard he's Thelwell Jnr's godfather. It's not personal, sonny. It's strictly business.

10 Nov 2025 17:43:46
Quick question for use who run business now I'm not thewell or Stewart's biggest fan but when I need help from other trades ect I tend to go with the guys I know who are mates who I know can do a job I just assume this is the case elsewhere including football you'd go with guys you know appose to guys you don't.

Sam in most cases yes you would go for someone that you know.

Would people call me lazy if I was to hire Kjetil as manager?

Someone isn't bad at their job because Thelwell knows them personally 😂.

I understand that that's why I was asking just seems that if thewell hires a guy he knows or previously worked with it's jobs for the boys and lining his own pockets people are nuts. Personally I'll always go with guys I know or guys I don't.

Do you know what they're job entails to know they're no use at doing it?

I made the same point a couple of weeks ago Sam and was derided by the usual suspects. Now I'm not going to pass judgement on this guy, I don't know him at all. I'm far from being a fan of Thelwell but of course he will speak to people he knows about a job role.

Wherever he is clearly they will fight to keep him then? unlike Everton, Wolves and Man U who couldn't get rid of Thelwell and the odd little alien quick enough.
