Thats where the big bucks are for us if we can get young guys into the team playing well in europe and the national team we will get money. However i fear with 1 year left Lowry is already looking at options elsewhere and who can blame him.

We will be lucky to get our money back on Kent, dont think we will get much over 10 million for Morelos and Aribo each given contract situations. Dont think they board will give the manager much of it to spend either. Next season will be a team of bosmans and loans.

I realise this wont be popular opinion but I'm going to put it out there. Given he was virtually anonymous on Sunday I don't think it was a good decision from Ryan Jack to go to Austria and play over an hour in a friendly for Scotland. Especially when he struggles to play 1 out of two games in a week for us. He is big for us when he plays normally.

Need to look at selling Helander, Morelos and Lowry if we cant get them to extend. I personally wouldn't extend Helander given his fitness issues. I'd also move on Roofe if we get a decent offer.

He is basically Sebo. Just runs about and leads the press. Has nothing to offer in possession.

Its looking that way. We have a massive summer rebuild with no money to spend. Who will take the job? You are looking at Warnock or Callum Davidson. No one of any means will take that on.

Its between Lundstram and Bassey for me but they both played a big part in conceding a goal. Bassey also struggled to do anything going forward and a few times resorted to just scooping the ball into their box.

Not really got much to say about that. This team tends to do one of 2 things: 1) start well, score a goal then fall asleep 2) start terribly then have to claw their way back into the game I saw a stat yesterday on Sky that we have come from behind to win 21 games this season. That is not a good stat. The wins are good yes. But it is a huge indicator of the attitude of the squad.

If Covid had not hit and cancelled the season it is debateable if he would have made it out of that season as Rangers manager such was the size of the collapse.

Its plainly obvious we are skint. After taking in a small fortune in the winter window and spending none of it, instead choosing to bring in 2 youngsters and a big risk in Ramsey. While the team across the city actively tried to postpone games so they could back their manager. I have no confidence in this board/club leadership in what is going to be a massive transfer window for us. We have let key assets run down their contracts and depreciate in value massively while not investing in other areas. We have spent big on players that have not contributed much this season (Roofe, Itten, Helander). We have some real quality and experience in McGregor and Davis who have tried to go one season too far by the looks of it. Our team yesterday cost about 12 million to put together. Kent and Roofe were 11 of that.

Rangers 2-1 FGS Kent

Pics of Morelos in crutches doing the rounds on socials/whattsapp. Not looking good.

Thankful its cancelled. But this has still caused damage re timing of announcement and leaves questions over the payment side of things (I'm reading into that statement)

Highly doubtful Balogun will play Sunday then. He has struggled to play twice weekly for us

I may have posted this earlier in the thread, but given the strict restrictions in Australia I hope the club has had assurances any travelling employees/supporters have been guaranteed safe exit passage in the case of any covid escalation.

Juve fans did warn us to be fair 😃

They have had other commercial link ups over and above the syndey cup as a result of the event. How much this benefits them financially or at all is unknown but its an example of how our board have not thought this through as a concept. Had we still had the likes of Craig Moore, Tony Vidmar or the likes I could have seen how this would have been an opportunity for us to expand in a similar manner. But one club has a high profile player and manager from Australia and one club does not. It doesnt take a genius to figure they may get additional commercial opportunity's.

This offer definitely wont come without caveats. Things have changed pretty quickly from 'I cant be involved at rangers as its hard to get my money out of South Africa' to 'I'll pay millions to cancel this friendly' pretty quickly. This is just more nonsense we don't need at a crucial part of the season. The club is still financially entirely reliant on Europe. We will have to punt out best players in the summer at reduced fees due to their contract status. The squad needs a massive rebuild. Maybe the focus should be on that.

Hope he is ok.

This is totally embarrassing and not necessary. A bit like a not fit for purpose fan group and an Australian friendly v a club with no morals

Dreadful performance, outstanding 3 points. Manager got the starting line-up wrong but changed it and won the game. credit for that. Dundee Goal: A mis hit cross Ramsay should have blocked but the fliught of the ball was hard to judge and the Dundee playing in the right place at right time. Our penalty - a stonewaller. Boy tried to rip off Alfredo's shirt. Loads of rangers fans on twitter saying it was never a penalty. Bizarre. Our first goal - came after us actually playing for a 10 min spell. Good play and great to see Ramsay get a goal. Our winner - Roofe involved again. If he is fit we have to find ways for him to play in these games. Great from the coaching staff to push Goldson up front and overload them and what a finish from the big man. A very important 3 points. A terrible game on a cowfield. Now a nice international break to enjoy, regroup and come back for a massive month. Lets go!

Great thanks. been to a few away games(Seville, Auxerre etc) where they do that but there is always the risk they dont.

How many tickets will we get for braga? was it easy to get away end tickets? take it they dont have many fans. Average attendance according to wiki is 12k

Thats incredible. Hope we are not in the same situation this season.

Depends how much we give out on bonuses etc for getting there. I'm sure the year we made the final we paid out about half the prize money in bonuses.
