Standard Liege make decision over second Rangers Nicolas Raskin bid By Christopher Jack@Chris_Jack89Senior Rangers Writer Nicolas Raskin STANDARD LIEGE have rejected a second bid from Rangers for midfielder Nicolas Raskin. Boss Michael Beale has identified Raskin as one of his key targets for the final days of the January transfer window following the capture of Todd Cantwell on a long-term deal earlier this week. Rangers have been admirers of Raskin for some time and made their move in recent days after tabling an offer to the Liege hierarchy. Sources in Belgium valued that bid at around €500,000 as Rangers were told they would need to significantly raise their offer if a deal was to be done this month. And the Ibrox board will now need to come back to the table for a third time if they are to land their man in the coming days after their follow up approach was also booted out. Beale confirmed on Friday afternoon that no pre-contract agreement had been signed to bring Raskin to Ibrox in the summer as Ross Wilson, the sporting director, focused on getting a switch over the line by the close of business on Tue Beale said: “It is not true that we have signed a pre-contract with anybody. So I can dispel that right now. “He is obviously a player we like, there are negotiations going on between the clubs. They are not the only ones we are speaking to.” The negotiations are still at an impasse, however, after Standard rebuffed a second approach from Rangers on Friday evening. The Belgian outfit - who are managed by former Celtic boss Ronny Deila - are standing firm as they attempt to get as high a fee as possible for a player that will walk away for free at the end of the campaign. Beale has been open about his eagerness to add to his squad this month but, speaking ahead of the Premiership fixture with St Johnstone, he insisted that Rangers would only do deals at the right price. Beale said: “There are a lot of players. The summer window is a much better window for us as a football club, for every football club I think. “The winter window, if you are in the market for players it seems like everyone knows you are. So it makes people be a little bit stubborn. Without talking about those two players, because there are three or four more we are speaking to, it is like if the deal is right now it is going to get done. “If the deal is not right now we will move to the summer. In the summer, with the contract situation, it does open up space in the squad. I named a lot of players there in the final third without naming the midfielders like Lundstram, Kamara and Jack. Where are all these players playing? It is a big squad. “I want the squad to be tight not too big that it becomes difficult to manage. I like to have everyone knowing that they are fighting for their way in and being keen.”

From Heart and Hand podcast Twitter. Spoke to club about ticketing issues today and they are well aware the website isn’t good enough. They have partnered with a leading ticket website provider to develop a new system. Good, because the current one takes years off us collectively!

Wee bit of light reading to keep you occupied. https://club1872.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Survey-Report-Rangers.pdf https://club1872.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Survey-Report-C1872.pdf

Club 1872 Contributors Survey Report Dear Contributor, We are pleased to present our Contributors with the report of the recent survey carried out by Club 1872. With nearly 2500 responses, this is the largest, in depth survey of Rangers supporters carried out in many years. Statistically speaking, the number of survey responses make it hugely significant in terms of accuracy. There is a great likelihood that the survey results generally mirror the views held across the huge breadth of the Rangers support. The results form a hugely valuable source of information for the Club 1872 Board to accurately reflect the views of Contributors. The topics covered all the major areas of debate, concern and discussion amongst the Rangers support and our own Contributors at the time. It is the Club 1872 Board’s intention to hold a number of smaller surveys in 2023 based on these results. The results of this survey will now also trigger specific Contributor polls to form Club 1872 policy in a number of areas. These polls will include taking a formal position on Safe Standing, updating our position on seeking an RIFC Board place for Club 1872 to push forward fan representation at Rangers and consulting Contributors on ways in which we might improve accountability for the current custodians of the club. The survey results mirror some of the concerns that the Club 1872 Board has had in its interactions with Rangers’ Executive Team over the past two years. We hope, following Douglas Park’s public commitment to engage with Club 1872 at the recent RIFC AGM, that we will now be able to address these issues directly with the RIFC Plc Board in 2023 and help to improve the club’s general interaction and engagement with supporters, based on these results. The report is split into two sections and also contains details of actions that Club 1872 will now take based on the results. The first section relates to questions regarding Rangers and can be veiwed here - Survey Report Rangers The second relates to questions regarding Club 1872 and can be viewed here - Survey Report Club 1872 We will also shortly send the video of our Annual Contributors Meeting, which was held on Monday night, to Contributors. It will also be posted on our YouTube channel. Club 1872

“Borrowed” this from elsewhere September 9th 1914 the members of the Rangers Football Club formed a Rifle Club and learned to shoot and handle arms.

RANGERS players of the present will be able to heed advice from club legends of the past after new posters featuring inspirational quotes were placed around the club's training centre. Kitman Jim McAlister has given an inside look at spine-tingling words of encouragement from the likes of Walter Smith and Bill Struth that players will be able to see every day - plus a cracker from Jimmy Bell. 3 The Gers kitroom now features inspirational quotesCredit: INSTAGRAM/@JIM_MCALISTER_ 3 There's one from the iconic Bill StruthCredit: INSTAGRAM/@JIM_MCALISTER_ Morton legend McAlister, who also turned out for the likes of Hamilton and Dundee, retired from playing in early 2021 to take up the role at Ibrox. And posting to his Instagram story, he's revealed a behind the scenes look at the kitroom revamp at the club's Auchenhowie training facility. The first one features the great Walter Smith, and features a picture of the legendary former boss holding the SPL league trophy aloft. Below the image are some stirring words for the stars of today from Smith, who passed away in October 2021. The quote reads: "Rangers Football Club. Do not enter unless you are prepared to put yourself second. "This should be the one and only time second best is good enough for you." There's also one featuring the iconic Bill Struth, the manager who led Rangers to 18 league titles during a three-decade long spell in charge. Carrying a similar ethos to the words from Smith, Struth's quote reads: "No one man is bigger than Rangers Football Club." A third poster features another Ibrox legend and former colleague of McAlister's, Jimmy Bell. Bell achieved legendary status at the club he initially joined in the mid 1980s. He sadly passed away last year at the age of 69. Bell was a formidable and popular character behind the scenes at Ibrox and often received plenty of credit for helping to withhold the high standards that Rangers want around the club. Former manager Steven Gerrard once joked that Bell was in fact the actual "boss" when it came to the club's backroom team. Such is Bell's iconic status within the club, he too has been given a poster with an inspirational quote. But the quote isn't quite like the others, and is perhaps fitting for the man who many Gers stars often said was the hardest person in the building to get into their good books. 3 Jimmy Bell's quote isn't quite like the other ones!Credit: INSTAGRAM/@JIM_MCALISTER_ The quote on Bell's poster simply reads: "What the f**k do you want?" Alongside the post, McAlister jokes that of all the new additions to the Gers kit area, it's "the most appropriate one." Former Rangers striker Jermain Defoe paid an emotional tribute to Bell after his sad passing, describing him as "a friend" and "amazing person." Defoe left Rangers a year ago, and he's just about to embark on a brand new career adventure. Since hanging up his boots after a brief spell at Sunderland, Defoe has rejoined former club Tottenham in a coaching and ambassadorial role.

Dreadful stuff so far.
