Anyone been? Reports?

Doing the Founders Trail is a must for all fans, imo.

The Killie game will give us a good idea how the season will go. At the moment I’m not expecting much.

Back in the game? 2-1.

Our defence is so poor.

Oh well sloppy defending again.

Our away fans embarrassing as usual with cringeworthy songs. What is it with these fans?

Just watched MB post match interview, he must have been watching a different game than me.

Another shambles for 3rd goal, our defending is pathetic.

Absolute shambles that 2nd goal. Could McLaughlin not have grabbed at second chance?

Look like 11 individuals not a team. Davies not quick or strong enough at goal.

“Sexually active” now there’s a memory.

If only I knew what “embed” means.

Aberdeen FC to slash away allocations leaving Celtic and Rangers fans to land as few as 300 tickets Dons chief Alan Burrows insists Pittodrie should be packed with home supporters with away allocations to be downsized. SPORT By Scott Burns 16:07, 24 JUL 2023 UPDATED16:35, 24 JUL 2023 Resurgent Aberdeen are to make changes to Pittodrie that could dramatically slash away attendances.The Dons, who are guaranteed European group stage football, have seen a record in season ticket sales and are looking at ways of growing their home attendances further. The club have announced plans to remove the current fixed division in the South Stand that would allow them to reduce away capacities and increase their home support by up to 1,000 seats. It could see visiting attendances cut from around 1700 to anything as low as 300. It has come as the Red Army have been left frustrated by a lack of away numbers at certain grounds, like at Hearts and Rangers, in recent seasons.Aberdeen chief executive Alan Burrows said: “There has been a huge amount of excellent work undertaken by AFC staff over the last few years on engaging with supporters and making match days at Pittodrie more noisy and more colourful and improving the atmosphere.“We will continue to engage with all stakeholders to try and build on that, whilst maintaining a safe and secure environment for everyone. Our plans for the South Stand are very much an extension of that desire. We want even more Aberdeen fans coming to Pittodrie in the best seats, cheering the team on. The fence has not only proved a visible hindrance for fans in that area, but it has also not allowed us any flexibility to try and maximise attendances.“This work will also have the added benefit of increasing the catering provisions in the South Stand by 25%, which we hope will further reduce queues and waiting times in that area for specific games.”Aberdeen’s stance on away tickets is likely to be set for what their support gets in return at away grounds. An Aberdeen statement added: “Whilst we hope the changes above will help continue the upwards trajectory of our home attendances and drive-up revenues, it is also our intention to hold discussions with some of our SPFL Premiership colleagues about reciprocal allocations in hope of a fair and equitable number for our brilliant away supporters. The outcome of that will play one part in the away allocations we set at Pittodrie going forward.”Aberdeen have now got around 12,000 season ticket holders and have announced that another 200 places will also be made available for the Red Shed from this upcoming season. It will see the attendance of the Merkland Stand increased to 2095.

https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/911404219/danilo-rekent-op-vertrek-naar-rangers-bijna-7-miljoen Danilo counts on leaving for Rangers: almost 7 million MARCEL VAN DER KRAAN ROTTERDAM - Danilo can earn 45,000 euros a week at the Scottish Rangers, which is more than double his current salary at Feyenoord. That explains why the 24-year-old striker is eager to move to the Scottish top club. And that departure will almost certainly come this Rangers made a 'take it or leave it' offer on Sunday afternoon, which goes towards seven million euros. It is the last attempt by the Scots to incorporate Danilo and it could well succeed, because Feyenoord has interesting players in other positions and also thinks it can fill the striker position behind Santiago Gimenez. Feyenoord will put their heads together on Monday, when everyone is back at the training complex, to discuss Rangers' offer. But it is clear that Danilo has also set his sights on a departure and is also counting on Feyenoord to let him go now. Outside base eleven Last Saturday, he was not included in the starting eleven by trainer Arne Slot against the German Hoffenheim, while Gimenez is still on holiday and was not part of the selection in Austria. The transfer troubles surrounding Danilo led to the young Newcastle United mercenary Yankuba Minteh starting at the forefront, alongside Javairo Dilrosun and Paixao. Rangers must buy out Danilo's contract, which runs until 2026. Feyenoord is linked to attackers Sydney van Hooijdonk and Japanese striker Ayase Ueda from Cercle Brugge. But it also still has serious plans with Dinamo Zagreb's Croatia international Luka Ivanusec, who was reviewed against Hajduk Split on Friday night and looks like an actual reinforcement.

https://www.fr12.nl/nieuws/sydney-van-hooijdonk-genoemd-als-opvolger-van-danilo?twit=106 Sydney van Hooijdonk is in the interest of Feyenoord, reports 1908.nl. The striker must succeed Danilo when the Brazilian actually leaves De Kuip. The technical staff is convinced that Pierre van Hooijdonk's son can be of added value to the stadium club. Feyenoord seems to be taking Danilo's departure seriously into account. The Rotterdammers were previously associated with the Japanese Ayase Ueda and now Van Hooijdonk's name is emphatically used in the Maas building. The stadium club has not yet reported concretely to Bologna FC at this stage. When Rangers FC approaches Feyenoord's asking price and a final departure beckons, things can go quickly. Van Hooijdonk has recently been told that he may leave Bologna FC. Trainer Thiago Motta has indicated that the 23-year-old striker is not included in the plans and can look forward to a new employer

Danilo to Rangers transfer on verge of collapse as Feyenoord irked by 'low ball' offers but Ibrox dealmakers get tough The Brazilian is wanted by Michael Beale but the bumper valuation from the Dutch champions could end the pursuit. ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - MARCH 04: Danilo of Feyenoord Rotterdam Looks on during the Dutch Eredivisie match between Feyenoord and FC Groningen at Feyenoord Stadium on March 4, 2023 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by NESimages/Herman Dingler/DeFodi Images via Getty Images) Michael Beale's big money move for Brazilian striker Danilo was in danger of collapsing last night after Feyenoord booted out the latest Ibrox bid. Record Sport can reveal the Rotterdam club have rejected out of hand an improved offer worth around £5.2m with potential add ons for the 24-year-old and have become irritated with what they consider to be a series of ‘low ball’ approaches. On the contrary, Rangers believe they are more the matching the player’s market price and with relationships between the two clubs turning cold, may now turn their attention elsewhere unless the Dutch outfit lower their asking price. It’s believed Feyenoord have not dropped their original demands and will not budge unless they receive a bid north of £6m. The Eredivisie champions have been accused by their own supporters of allowing too many players to leave on the cheap and are determined to hold out for top dollar for Danilo even though he is considered by boss Arne Slot as the club’s second choice No.9. Slot is also refusing to budge until he has secured adequate cover for his star striker Santiago Giminez, who is suspended for the first two group games of this season’s Champions League. That has left Rangers considering a string of alternative attacking targets and club sources are confident they have ‘strong options elsewhere’ as well as almost six weeks left in the summer transfer window to get one of them in the door. Beale revealed yesterday that Rangers have now secured midfielder Jose Cifeuntes on a pre-contract, with the Ibrox club pushing to force through a deal now. And he confirmed talks are ongoing with Feyenoord while hinting that the discussions are not moving anywhere fast. He said: “There’s talks in the background but he’s a Feyenoord player just now and they are also building after a really successful season last year. We’ll keep that between the two clubs at the moment. He’s obviously a good player.” Midfielder Cifuentes, 24, has just six months left on his contract with Los Angeles FC and will become a Rangers player on a free transfer when the MLS season finishes at the end of the year. But Beale said: “It is getting closer. Logistics of that one and work permits and everything that goes in between it.. The clubs are still talking. Get your ultimate Rangers guide to the 2023-24 season under Michael Beale Rangers are ready for glory as they take aim at Scottish football’s biggest prizes. Michael Beale and his new-look Light Blues have their heart set on winning back the title and a shot at glory in the Champions League. Beale’s boys will be rubbing shoulders with the best in Europe and chasing the dream in Scotland as they try to win domestic honours. “He is out of contract at the end of the year and we have an agreement for that. We would like to bring it to a close early if we can so he can join us in this window. Those discussions are ongoing.” Rangers host Hamburg in a friendly this afternoon after losing 2-1 to Newcastle in Allan McGregor’s testimonial on Tuesday. And Beale confirmed recruitment would continue for the next six weeks in both directions. Speaking to Sky Sports he said: “The recruitment both ways - in and out - isn’t finished right now so the squad will come together. As a squad we spoke about wanting to be tighter. There’s a lot of competition for places. With that, one or two players naturally will want some guarantees to play regularly, so there will be some change. “We’ve recruited swiftly over the summer, we’ve got some new faces in and the squad is shaping up really well. We’re really pleased with how the summer work has gone. “The boys that were here before will gel it all together but we had a fantastic week in Germany which was really good for the players. There’s a nice energy and feel around the place at the moment. “The mentality is always there to start the season well. We know the first month of the season brings four league games and hopefully four Champions League qualifiers as well and a cup game so by the time we go into that September international break we want to be in a good place with all the new players up to speed.”
