BEARGER

Well well two goals from open play. Never in doubt😉

A penalty was the only way either team was going to score.

Pretty boring stuff, then again it’s up to Norway to be proactive they need the points.

Don’t know who Alan Nixon is. Did not know Easdales share were blocked or that they had 20 million. I see he is a Jags fan and has written for the sun! By Alan Nixon A court ruling has declared that a Rangers share block against the Easdale brothers is to be removed. And that will mean that the Greenock brothers will have approximately 20 million shares returned to them. The Easdale brothers are considering partnering with former Rangers chairman and shareholder Dave King and fans groups to become a significant control group within the club. Talks between the Easdales and King have taken place. There is also a plan to bring in American investment to bid for control at Ibrox. The Easdales and King have clashed in the past but now seem aligned and have a common aim of removing the current board.

From the Sun!!! Sam Lammers to Rangers £3m transfer to get green light from Atalanta boss Gasperini David Friel Published: 22:32, 11 Jun 2023 Updated: 22:32, 11 Jun 2023 ATALANTA manager Gian Piero Gasperini is set to sanction Sam Lammers’ £3million transfer to Rangers. SunSport revealed the Ibrox club have stepped up their pursuit of the Dutch striker. Sam Lammers could be a Rangers player soonCredit: Getty Veteran boss Gasperini has extended his own deal and is now ready to sell Lammers. The Serie A side had put transfer business on hold while they held talks with the 65-year-old boss. Gasperini has now agreed to continue his seven-year Atalanta stint but sees no future for Lammers. The 26-year-old striker was signed for £8m in 2020 — and has since had three loans. He was farmed out to Eintracht Frankfurt, Empoli and Sampdoria. The 6ft 3in striker has been identified by Michael Beale as a key summer addition. And Rangers have opened talks as they look to get a deal over the line soon. Beale has already snapped up free agents Jack Butland, Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling, and is chasing Cremonese striker Cyriel Dessers and LA FC midfielder Jose Cifuentes. The Ibrox boss is also an admirer of Nottingham Forest defender Jonathan Panzo, who spent last season on loan at Coventry City and would cost around £2.5m. The Panzo interest comes as Ben Davies attracts attention from the English Championship. Beale has also hinted he would be open to selling Glen Kamara and it’s understood there is renewed French interest in the Finland star.

https://boldsportsng.com/rangers-keen-on-josh-maja-signing/ Glasgow Rangers are prepared to make a strong push to secure the signing of Josh Maja following Bordeaux’s inability to earn promotion to the French Ligue 1 at the conclusion of the 2022/23 French Ligue 2 campaign. The Nigerian international has long been a target for the Ibrox side, who had hoped to acquire his services for the 2022/23 season. However, the former Sunderland and Fulham striker chose to remain in France and assist Bordeaux in their quest to return to the top flight. Unfortunately, Les Girondins fell short of their objective, finishing third in the league standings. Despite Maja’s contribution of 16 goals for the French side, it was insufficient to secure promotion to the top league due to a new promotion rule that allows only two teams to move up, reducing the number of teams in Ligue 1 to 18. After June 30, the 24-year-old will be free to depart from Bordeaux, as per a prior understanding with the club that permits him to leave if they fail to reach the top flight. While Maja has the option to re-sign with Bordeaux, it is reported by France Bleau that he is expected to explore new opportunities this summer and could potentially join Rangers, who have been pursuing him. “He is free to choose his destination or extend his contract in Gironde. However, as expected, he is likely to leave the club despite his strong emotional connection,” as stated by the report. As Alfredo Morelos is set to depart upon the expiration of his contract and Antonio Colak possibly leaving if Cyriel Dessers joins Rangers manager, Michael Beale has expressed a desire to recruit several strikers during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Panzo?

EXCLUSIVE! Jonathan Panzo nearing Rangers transfer as Michael Beale edges closer to £2.5m signing [Snip] And Souttar is injured🙁

40RNG-8ZPXSTAFF Been told this genuine, says staff but others have ordered. Oops too late, club have caught on.🙁

No idea who this Charlie guy is. Charlie @CharlieRFC1872 Follow José Cifuentes will travel to Glasgow this week. Done deal between LAFC and Rangers. Deal will be valid until 2027. #RangersFC Medical tests booked, as revealed today. No Premier League move, Cifuentes will play for Rangers.

Scott Arfield been offered a deal by Plymouth, also Hearts and Aberdeen. Plymouth offer blew both away.

From Daily Record Rangers guaranteed spot for 'biggest club prize pot in history' as Ibrox side to join Galacticos in FIFA Club World Cup The Light Blues are set to benefit from major changes to how the FIFA Club World Cup operates. Rangers are one of eight sides currently occupying a guaranteed FIFA Club World Cup spot – and it comes with major European incentives. The game's governing body will kick off the revamped tournament in 2025, which will run every four years with 32 teams. Twelve of those sides will be made up from UEFA, including the Champions League winners between 2020-21 and 2023-24 - meaning Chelsea, Real Madrid and the winners of this year's final would go in automatically - and eight other teams 'determined by a club ranking based on the same four-year period’. FIFA chiefs have ruled though 'that only one slot per nation can come from the coefficient table for the tournament' to ensure greater representation. According to The Sun, it is why Liverpool and Man United are so keen for the Citizens to win Saturday's UCL final with Inter, as it 'would open up the slot for the two to fight over,' with Jurgen Klopp's men in the driving seat. The report goes on to claim that the other teams currently in position for Club World Cup spots are 'Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Roma, Villarreal, PSG, Benfica, Ajax and Rangers’. Barcelona, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are among those out in the cold. It is also claimed the new competition 'will have the biggest club prize pot in the history of the game.' Scotland as a nation are currently ninth in the coefficient chart with a score of 36.400. In the outlined UEFA timeline between 2021 and 2024, Rangers have currently amassed a score of 38.000. But there are teams close behind them, Belgium's Club Brugge on 35.000 and Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk on 31.000 Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia meanwhile are on 33.000. So Rangers have to improve on their 4.000 total from making the Champions League group stage in order to give themselves the best chance of remaining in elite company, with their 2022 run to the Europa League final seeing them claim 19.000. FIFA state 'a cap of two clubs per country will be applied to the access list with an exception in cases where more than two clubs from the same country win the confederation’s premier club competition over the four-year period’.

I believe that Robert Marshall is advising SA on this. Robert is of the mind that more pubs in area means more clientele.

Daily Record Twitter Cyriel Dessers wanted for Rangers transfer but Cremonese play hardball after seven figure bid The striker could be sold by the Italian side after they were relegated to Serie B. Rangers have made their move to sign Cremonese striker Cyriel Dessers. The Light Blues have tabled a significant seven figure bid for the Nigerian international. Their opening bid was turned down but Rangers remain in talks to see if a deal can be struck. Cremonese have just been relegated to Serie B but they are determined to try and recoup as much of the £6 million that they paid Genk to sign him last summer. The 28-year-old netted three goals in three games for Genk at the start of the season and that prompted Cremonese to make their move. Dessers netted seven goals for Cremonese as they struggled badly in their one campaign in Serie A. The Belgian-born frontman, like Los Angeles FC midfielder Jose Cifuentes, has been a long-term transfer for Rangers. Michael Beale is pushing to get a deal done as he looks to bring in a replacement for the recently departed Alfredo Morelos. Viktor Gyokeres in Rangers transfer mission impossible as Michael Beale 'admiration' stumped by big bucks hurdle Beale has admitted a lot of his summer funds will need to go on a striker and Dessers is very much on his wanted list. He came through at OH Leuven and Lokeren but it was in Holland where he started to hit the goal trail Dessers has successful spells with NAC Breda, Utrecht and Heracles Almelo - where he finished joint top scorer in the Eredivisie. The experienced forward moved on to Genk in 2020 and last year had a loan at Feyenoord before he returned to Belgium. Dessers was a teammate of Scotland cap Jack Hendry when he was on loan at Cremonese in the first half of the season. Rangers have already confirmed deals for Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling. They are also still working on moves for Jack Butland and Cifuentes. Swansea’s Morgan Whittaker and Nottingham Forest defender Jonathan Panzo are two options that Beale is also in talks over.

Swansea City Blocks Morgan Whittaker’s Move to Rangers Amidst Managerial Uncertainty Rangers Newshub 2 hours ago Swansea City has recently halted Morgan Whittaker’s potential transfer to Rangers until they finalize the appointment of a new manager. The current head coach, Russell Martin, is expected to join recently-relegated Southampton. This development puts Rangers in a predicament, relying on the decision of a future manager as they seek to bring Whittaker to their team. Whittaker’s impressive performances on loan at Plymouth Argyle have caught the attention of several clubs, including Rangers. Russell Martin, a former Ibrox centre-half, issued an apology to Rangers fans after the January transfer window. The Swansea boss expressed his strong bond with Morgan Whittaker and acknowledged the messages he received from Rangers fans urging him to let the player go. Martin, who sympathized with their sentiments, explained that the final decision was not within his control. With Russell Martin on the verge of departing Swansea for Southampton, Rangers face uncertainty in their pursuit of Morgan Whittaker. According to Football Scotland, Rangers are willing to submit another bid for the talented left-footed player. However, Swansea has made it clear that they will not entertain offers until they appoint a successor to Martin. This decision is grounded in the belief that the new manager might consider Whittaker an integral part of the team’s future plans. Morgan Whittaker showcased his potential during his loan spell at Plymouth Argyle, where he made a significant impact. In just 19 starts in League One, Whittaker netted nine goals and provided seven assists, contributing to Plymouth’s success as the eventual champions of the third tier. His outstanding performances caught the attention of Michael Beale, the Rangers boss, who identified Whittaker as a top transfer target. However, Beale might face competition from Steven Schumacher, head coach of Plymouth, who has expressed a keen desire to secure Whittaker’s services permanently. Reports suggest that Morgan Whittaker has a strong inclination towards joining Rangers. The club has already bolstered its squad with the signings of Kieran Dowell and Dujon Sterling this month. Whittaker’s versatility, goal-scoring ability, dribbling skills, and exceptional left foot make him an attractive prospect for the Scottish club. Jobi McAnuff, a former player for Cardiff, Crystal Palace, and Watford, highlights Whittaker’s immense potential and believes that securing him would be a brilliant signing for Rangers. Swansea City’s decision to block Morgan Whittaker’s potential move to Rangers until they appoint a new manager has added a layer of uncertainty to the transfer saga. While Rangers remain eager to acquire Whittaker’s services, they must wait for Swansea’s managerial situation to be resolved. Whittaker’s loan spell at Plymouth Argyle has undoubtedly raised his profile, attracting interest from both Rangers and Plymouth’s head coach, Steven Schumacher. As the transfer drama unfolds, Whittaker’s desire to join Rangers, along with his remarkable abilities, makes him a highly sought-after talent with the potential for a promising career ahead.
