How many of our players are away on international duty?

22 Sep 2026 14:07:30
12. Raskin, Pandur, Gassama, Fernandez, Miovski, Curtis, Kelly, Drago, Nedeljkovic, Mak, MinSu, Kelsy.

22 Sep 2026 14:48:37
Kaiser, cheers. A nice wee earner for Rangers surely.

22 Sep 2026 16:49:07
And a few potential injuries Bax. I'm not fond of these international breaks at all.

22 Sep 2026 17:45:41
Port, I agree mate.

22 Sep 2026 21:37:50
Wonder how close Neil was to an England call up.

22 Sep 2026 21:44:13
Ehl maybe next time.

I think there’s a hull city mf ahead of him just now aswell. Used to play for us good few year back, what’s his name again ? 😂

22 Sep 2026 22:02:26
Dahl is norwegian stevie 🤪

It just occurred to me how fate and fickle minded comments can intertwine and cast a shadow of utter despair amongst a football club and it's fans. Who would have thought that a mere six weeks ago, that DM and his team would be getting the plaudits they are currently receiving.

Our manager was getting it tight for team selection, change of system, and substitutions etc. Yes, we dropped points at Tannadice, got mugged by Hibs at Ibrox. European results were a disappointment considering the calibre of opposition that we lost to. It was around this point the "white noise" of doom and gloom descended.

Then big Chermiti is crocked for the season. Add Shankland and Rommens injuries into the mix and we were in a bad place. Now given the circumstances at the time, and the role of the recruitment team being constantly battered, admitedlly there was not a lot to be hopeful about.

We then had the transfer window and all the speculation and disruption that it brought with it, regarding players out, and new recruits coming in without a pre season behind them. It's worth considering, and i may well be selling our recruitment team a little short here, but i just wonder had Rommens and Chermiti not been injured, that we would not have had Penrice and Kelsey on our books.

Shankland injury obviously compounded the necessity for another striker as allegedlly Miovski had been told to find himself a club as he was surplus to requirements. Fate again at play when he bags the winner as a late substitute. Naderi much maligned by many as not good enough for Rangers, how far down the pecking order would he have been if Chermiti and Shanks not been crocked?

Ironically i now find myself thinking that big Ryan and wait for it. Gassama are integral as to how we play. Whether by chance or necessity we seem to have found a squad and a system that suits our players, and although nothing has been won as yet, the performances against Celtic home and away have certainly lifed my optimism levels for the season. I guess what i have learned in the last 3-4 weeks is to try and be a bit more patient, and to give players and managers a chance to fail or prosper.

22 Sep 2026 14:24:33
Fans can only judge what they see at the time. And probably last decade or so hasn't helped with patience. But even McInnes accepted the criticism was normal and players have to respond to it. Now though we look in a good position and all are happy. Hope it continues.

22 Sep 2026 22:05:17
Good post mate.
Out of misfortune we seem to have fallen into the perfect formula.
We are due a bit of luck and happiness.
I am excited about the season ahead now.

22 Sep 2026 11:43:21
Anyone else find it crazy that players like Kent and Aribo are sitting there without clubs?

I know Kent leaving in Free put many folk off him, but I can't blame the guy for looking after his own best interests, it's a short career after all. But both had real quality and seems nuts no one has picked them up.

22 Sep 2026 13:22:02
I'd welcome big Joe back with open arms, Kent not so much. Not so sure his numbers will end up that much superior to Gassama if he starts lifting his head up a bit more.

22 Sep 2026 14:18:12
No surprised at all about Kent to be honest. Aribo i thought could have gone on to more tho.

22 Sep 2026 16:38:09
Kent wasn't a good player.

22 Sep 2026 17:06:32
Kent wasn't really interested in football, for him it was a VERY good earner that's all.
Aribo? Haven't heard how he was playing so, if he checks out & meets our salary package, why not.

22 Sep 2026 18:23:09
Kent had quality in his feet but his head was empty. As a footballer he wasn't the brightest and his numbers reflected that. His movement, starting positions and final decision making were extremely poor and I said as much at the time.

Aribo looks to be one of those players that has suffered from being versatile, not really specialising in one position. But the lad had real quality and was one I was sad to see go, and surprised to see without a club.

22 Sep 2026 10:48:29
It's all about win after win after win now. you can obviously see the team is together now. if Rangers keep pushing, that other lot will fold. that's how i see it now. i'm sure Derek will be saying the same.

21 Sep 2026 14:28:21
Anyone else noticed the oldest player we had on the park yesterday was Penrice (27)
Sterling/pandur (26)
Raskin (25)
Fernandes/neil (24)
Naderi/gassa (23) makhanya/kelsey (22)
minsu (20)
Unbelievable for these young guys to go put on 2 performances like that in the space of a week.

21 Sep 2026 15:52:30
If you're good enough you're old enough. I must admit especially in the case of Makhanya that he is only 22. Such a mature performance in both games.

21 Sep 2026 17:48:14
Agree jfm. Just goes to show that maybe we don't need the 3 or 4 old heads a lot of our fans were asking for.

21 Sep 2026 19:41:26
Probably let off because 6 weeks ago he would have needed a bottle of buckfast just to get through the game, Boyblue😂.

21 Sep 2026 20:17:19
Would have needed something stronger than that tattie. Kids just say no!

21 Sep 2026 22:49:27
We have a team full of sellable assets for a change. Our squad must be the youngest in the league and to turn in 2 displays like that within a week is remarkable. We are right back in the mix, something that would have sounded absolutely ridiculous a couple of weeks ago. I must admit I never saw this coming and have to hand it to Derek, his staff and the players as well as the owners for giving this old bear a huge dollop of hope for the rest of the season.

Hopefully we get the rub of the green for a change injury-wise. If so, we will be hard to stop. The guys seem to be playing with no fear and there is real quality and a close unity within the squad. Long may it continue.

22 Sep 2026 04:25:06
Couldn't agree more. McInnes was never my first pick seeker, but always felt he could do us a turn, we had went down the foreign route many times with not much success, so always thought we should at least give him a try.

22 Sep 2026 09:02:24
Sellable assets? how did that go recently?

22 Sep 2026 13:01:39
BAR, Seeker clearly means our squad now has many players worth good cash.

22 Sep 2026 13:02:41
BAR, and clearly none of our players transfers fees that our owners wanted was meet.

22 Sep 2026 13:24:19
That's exactly what I was meaning my star 👍.

22 Sep 2026 13:26:15
Thought it was obvious to be fair. Obviously not.

21 Sep 2026 07:50:33
Why doesn't the club who get fined because of idiots, if they get identified pass some of that fine on to them.
Hit them in the pocket along with life time bans.

21 Sep 2026 09:33:09
That would need the Police presumably to identify & name names & then prosecuted.
Not going to happen in most cases.

21 Sep 2026 13:29:12
why doesn't the club who get fined time and time again because of the idiots not just boot them out of the ground instead of actually pandering to them all the time.

21 Sep 2026 14:45:04
I'm pretty sure that anyone found guilty of an offence within the stadium has their season ticket taken off them.

21 Sep 2026 15:03:17
Depends what offence tattie. Boy that sits couple of seats from me got caught with a half bottle of buckfast a couple of weeks ago, he was in his seat the following game.

21 Sep 2026 15:57:25
Not the worst offence boy blue.

21 Sep 2026 17:50:49
Definitely not Atti, but still a crime regardless, goes to show they don't do much about anything with these people that feel free to do as they please.

22 Sep 2026 11:22:34
Sorry guys but it wouldn't be first time a half bottle found its way onto a park.
Guy should have been banned.

22 Sep 2026 16:54:25
Should be banned just for it being buckfast🤮.

20 Sep 2026 21:24:04
Right after this fantastic week in all honesty what would be classed as a successful season. I know it's early days, treble, double, lifting a cup? We have no European football which we need to use to our benefit.

21 Sep 2026 08:37:13
Need to use it to benefit yes. But there's going to be 15-20mill hole in the finances with no Europe so we definitely may need to sell an asset in jan to get round this.

21 Sep 2026 09:22:41
We have plenty assets now, A trip to Ibrox.

21 Sep 2026 10:12:27
definitely may need to, made me chuckle.

21 Sep 2026 10:33:45
I think if a team makes the league phase but finishes 25th they only earn around £4-5M in EL and £3-4M in conference. Palace only earned £15M last year in winning the conference league. there is the money for attendances as well but the £20M figure would be well overstated.

21 Sep 2026 11:41:12
Thats just prize money angus. A full Ibrox on a European night is worth over 2 million per night on gate, catering etc.

21 Sep 2026 13:01:01
The European ties just came too early. I reckon we would skelp both Jabberwocky teams if we had to play them now.

21 Sep 2026 17:54:50
Defo seeker.
