My only guess as to why its London is that Heathrow is probably one of the most accessible airports in the world and its away from Scottish media, although I could be well off. I can't see any other reason why we would do it there.... If anybody can find out where in London specifically, I'm not too far from there, I can get the binoculars and be Gersnet's man on the ground

Do you know Man City - and most other elite sides - play like this? It's a 3-2-5.

Doesn't matter what you think. The board will appoint who they want and you'll just need to accept it.

If I was the manager I would have said the same. I’d have at least signed some Football Manager wonderkids or something though. Not Lammers and Dessers.

Friday the 13th would be more in keeping with recent appointments. 😀

Poor recruitment has been our biggest problem. We are still well behind Celtic in this department .

We'll be telling him he can have £5m for new signings in January. Al-Shabab will be telling him he can have £250m.

We were back in 2021 but have subsequently ballsed the whole thing up.

You should know by now .... every Rangers manager is a caretaker.

A 10 and shadow (second) striker are different positions.

Appoint Gary Neville he knows everything about football

6 - DM. (Rodri, Makelele) 8 - box-to-box, a bit further forward than a #6. (Gerrard, Lampard, DeBruyne) 9 and 10 - You know what #9 and #10 are, surely? Some coaches actually go through the full 1-11.

DJ made his debut against Cowdenbeath at Ibrox, scoring twice in a 5-0 victory. I believe he was 16. Zak Lovelace made his debut against Queen of the South at Ibrox. I believe he was 16. Bailey Rice made his debut away to Livi'. I believe he was 16. Derek Ferguson made his debut in Tom Forsyth's testimonial match at Ibrox. I believe he was 15. The only other one I can think that may be a challenger is Alex O'Hara. I believe he was 16 when he made his debut against Borussia Monchengladbach at Ibrox in a 3-2 victory.

Watching McCausland was like in appearance seeing a young Davie Wilson at Baileston

John Eustace sacked by Birmingham. Don't you dare, James!

Went for Raskin seemed to have been played in the correct position.

Agree, we have spent plenty of money and spending big on wages. Just not spent it well sadly.

McCausland looks promising, some really nice touches and a very good awareness of those moving around him, great to see.

Apparently my source was talking crap. Apologies. I posted in good faith. Sorry again.

I still retain the belief - hope - that they're not substandard, but merely under-utilised.

When I started watching Rangers line-ups were: Goalkeeper Right back Left back Right half Centre half Left half Outside right Inside right Centre forward Inside left Outside left no# stuff in these days and so uncomplicated.

I can only dream of another Brahim Hemdani 🥰

Sad, but very likely true

This is a big issue I have with our recent transfer business. Probably a big driver in Hagi leaving was the fact we couldn't fit him in the Euro squad. Also worth noting that Rice and Lovelace, our 2 most promising youngsters couldn't be registered in the squad. These restrictions are not new. Ross Wilson should have been planning on mitigating it but clearly wasn't. This is an issue that cant be fixed in one transfer window unless we go out and get John Fleck, Ryan Hardie or other players that are technically 'homegrown' for us. But they are not good enough. This is a problem that transcends managers and will have us hamstrung in Europe for years unless we magically produce around 4 first team ready youngsters.

If we had a DoF, is there any guarantee that he would have overruled Beale on some of his signings? Beale did a good job with regards to getting in the players he wanted. The quality of these players is a different matter but that's easy to argue about it with hindsight. Where the board did let us down in not having a DoF was moving some players out. It doesn't seem that Beale was too invested in ensuring we got players out the door. The other area that Beale totally ignored was looking at the make-up of our Euro squad and the lack of homegrown players. Again, I'd have hoped a DoF would have insisted that more attention was paid to this.

Well - we know what day it's not going to be announced.

I'm going to guess an announcement on Thursday, source is me

He was playing further forward before that. Raskin was one of two #8s with Lundstram as the single #6, which was why he got forward more.

Source might have been right, but it was the Ajax job 😂

Both him and Bailey Rice are 17

What a joke. Grow a pair!

The toffees are up to 15th rising quicker than a brides goony
