RANGERRAB

Scary if that’s the MF squad

I don’t think Rice and MacKinnon can be classed as first team players. They’ve a handful of games between them at best. All things considered that’s a very poor MF group of players at present

We are now horrendously short in MF. Lundstrum and Jack have gone, Cantwell wants away & Raskin is injured. We’ve only got the uninspiring Diomande & wee Barron plus youngsters although maybe sterling will play in MF if tav stays. And with Goldson gone for CB we’ve only got 36 year old Balogun, Souttar and Davies. Lot of work still to do…

No red cards? Collum will soon be instructing his corrupt referees Clancy, Robertson & Walsh to sort that.

At one time it was getting stated in the Scottish media the total debt owed was over £130m. Clearly it wasn’t. And the value of the EBTs was only something like £48m so the trustee or club owe £41m tax? Not £76m as was suggested. And the £41m includes penalties? after HMRC the next biggest creditor IIRC was ticketus £27m but I think the contract with them was terminated by Green & they pursued whyte?

He hasn’t exactly had any backing from the board has he?

Any idea how much of the £56m was EBTs and how much was Whyte not paying income tax & NI ? and will anyone buy the oldco? And merge it with newco? 🤓

Central defence worries me. We finished last season where we conceded 9 goals in the 5 games post split. That looks like continuing into the new season. And we look desperate short in central MF too. Wee Barron isn’t a suit replacement for a fully fit Jack or Lundstrum

We had a poor pre season last year and failed to win games against Newcastle, Hoffenhein and Olympiakos. This year we’ve so far failed to win against Liege, Ajax and Man utd Whereas I don’t think preseason games results mean a lot I do think a bad pre season may be an indicator of what’s to come unless action is taken

Difficult to see how any of the signings improve us in any way.

A difficult tie against a decent Dinamo Kyiv side lies in wait for us by the looks of things.

There have been a few names mentioned regards a buyout. Not heard of the Israeli though. Anyone buying Rangers would negotiate as low a fee as possible for shares. The current board lurch from one crisis to another. They’ve hardly left the club in a good state for one reason or another.

How long did it take Keef to come up with that one? 😂 seriously though we need to lose one or two forwards before we bring in another

Yes that’s a fair assessment of both but they need replaced

Tavernier & Goldson leaving is one thing, replacing them another. Sterling may be Tav’s replacement but can he stay injury free? If not who plays RB? Goldson going leaves us short of CB’s in my opinion. We’ve only got injury prone Souttar, Davies who’s being linked with EFL championship clubs & could also leave and 36 year old Balogun

Sometimes this sort of thing gets done to test reactions before anything further happens

I don’t think he will when the season starts

Spending money on the wrong type of players. Clement has easily identified this

The Warburton, Pedro & Beale appointments were all wrong for one reason or another

I suspect he does know his starting eleven but wants to improve it in certain areas but can’t do so because we can’t rid off some players to bring others in

Boyd’s comments about the yahoos were interesting. If they’ve so much money why aren’t they spending it. Signing scmeichel instead of buying kelleher from Liverpool?

If Tav does go we’ll need another RB. Any thoughts?

Presume Adam Devine not seen as Tav’s replacement then ( assuming Tav goes to trabzonspor which I doubt)

I’m told we’ve still no interest in Shankland but I wonder if that might change as he enters the final year of his contract at hertz

Sima’s going into the last season of his Brighton contract. If he’s not signing a new one with them they’ll want to sell him
