RANGERRAB

All I want is the best eleven players we can get on the park playing for Rangers. If that includes loan signings out to progress their careers at other clubs then so be it. What I don't want to see again is 'Rangers men' like we got last season who were pinching a living out of Rangers who were well past their best & should have been nowhere near the club. That includes managers too.

And if they're an improvement on what we've already got & do everything expected of them then that's all we can ask for

If this youngster from Arsenal is as good as he's being made out & he plays his part in what we require this season I.e. Getting promotion & winning the SC to get us into the EL next season then I couldn't give a damn whether he's here to further his career by using Rangers as a stepping stone or not. We need to get back to the top division and competing for the title plus getting back into the EL/CL as soon as possible. If that means loan signings like this one then so be it as long as they're a significant improvement on the SPL journeymen dross McCoist bestowed upon us.

I reckon the MW appointment will have ruffled a few feathers over in the East End. He will have access to players(as loans probably) that the likes of McCall or McInnes wouldn't have had. For that reason alone it may not be the one horse race next season you suggest. You also have to remember they have this ceiling of £3m that they're prepared to spend on a player & you dont get a lot for that money these days do you? And they've had some spectacular flops over these past few seasons have they not?

The real problem is there are too many clubs in Scottish football. Not stadium-sharing.

Didn't stop Swansea City did it?

I'm sure they would if possible. Bell too who seems to be injured a lot for a goalkeeper. The reality is that the likes of Templeton, Shiels, Bell etc now have no long term future at Rangers. They are all running down their lucrative contracts which no one else (except McCoist)would ever dream of giving them. The sooner they're all gone the better so MW and SDoW can bring in superior replacements.

There are a number of players entering the final year of their contracts and I doubt any will get offered new ones during the course of this season. Law is one of them and I wouldnt be surprised to see him go to the English Championship or League1 before the transfer window shuts at the end of this month

We need a sitting midfielder to sit in front of the back four for protection.MW is seemingly hoping John Eustace can do that but I must say I have doubts about him given his recent injury record & age

Yes I hold up my hands and say I wanted him out at the end of last season but just goes to show what a change of manager can do. Let's hope Miller's goalscoring run continues and Waghorn contributes too

Gosh arent they ugly ?

Don't forget Murdoch has only ever played in the Championship which is no indicator to how good he is

What if the player we're getting on loan is a better player than the one we're loaning out?

We should loan him out someone in our division other than hibz

I would like to know why it was hibz(or was it stubz) were so adamant they wouldn't sell Allan to Rangers. Was it because Rangers are 'rivals' in the same division? Does that therefore mean if/when they're back in the top division they will not sell a player to any club in that division?

And never played a single first team game for WBA. Was loaned out to one club after another until his contract ran out & signed for hibz

Spoon-burners?

How many ST holders have the yahoos actually got? Me thinks there's a seville calculator at work here or they've got tens of thousands who buy ST's but don't go to games

I wonder if maybe our interest in Eustace has ended ?

I'll bet he is long gone well before 4 years. He'll soon discover(as Kenny Miller found out) the utter hatred these people have towards anyone from a Rangers background

That is probably correct what McCulloch has said. What I think many of us cannot understand is if Allan is such a great Rangers man why has he signed for the yahoos especially after all he has been saying these past few weeks.

If this is supposed to be some sort of gesture by the yahoos to get one over the new Rangers manager then it's a pretty pointless gesture as MW's interest in Allan was lukewarm at best IMO. Sure he'd have signed him but was never going to push the boat out to get him was he? I think you'll find MW will have other targets in mind over the next 12-18 months who will eclipse Allan

With the contacts down south MW has I'm we will be getting players arriving far superior to Scott Allan. And for that reason alone I'm curious why the yahoos wanted him

FWIW I thought Allan MIGHT have been a useful addition to our MF but that was based mostly on last season where we struggled badly at times. But we move on as they say. This season has only just started and we can already see an improvement without Scott Allan. And I believe MW will still add to our squad (if he can move on 2 or 3 he's inherited) and will we will improve further.

Why are the dhims signing a player they don't need? that's the bit I don't understand
