Not MOTM material but I thought Silva looked good. His overall play was impressive IMO.

Define "auld yins"...🤣🤣🤣

Agreed. Any talk of "favourable fixtures" and the momentum being with us are folly and come with huge red flags IMO. Despite the positivity from yesterday, that lot are still above us and have a healthier goal difference. They also know how to do it in OF games. One game at a time Rangers fans.

I've never understood it tbh. It's like leaving the cinema 10 minutes before the film finishes. Each to their own I suppose but it can't be very inspiring for the players.

Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey

Game on! Make it count Gers!!!

That could leave us fecked

Apologies for not sifting through all 140 odd pages but I heard it being mentioned on a pod that the Turkish window closes on the 9th Feb therefore Ridvan could go after our window closes. Is this true?

It's very rare for January window signings to have a significant impact immediately. No pre season, unfamiliar team mates, new country etc. I think that's why myself and many other fans are leaning towards Shankland. He's ready made for our league and will score goals in this team. I would hope we at least test Hearts resolve with a bid.

He would also get double the amount of chances.

It depends on who it is. I think that should be judged on certain factors including age and their market potential. One of those managers was Beale. The least said about his decision making the better. Barasic has been available for the last 3 games.

Ridvan has had a few injuries but we've had managers who have just not given him a chance. Beale left him out of the Euro squad ffs. It's no surprise that he is showing good form because he's a getting a run of regular games.

"Average" is still miles better than what Barasic has been offering us. I just think Ridvan has the capacity to get better, making him even more sellable. He also signed a 5 year deal.

Dumbarton last sunday. Easter Rd on Wednesday. 3-1 victory against Kilmarnock (MOTM) Parkhead defeat.

That's disingenuous. Ridvan has been excellent in many games recently. Not just 1 game.

He's not Scottish

Where are we getting 4.5 million to use on our recent midfield addition? And who said its 5 million for Shankland? The Daily Record? We need to bring a striker in the next 3/4 days. Like all purchases/transfers, there will be significant risk attached. Getting to know the league, country, city, language etc. Shankland is also risk but there are so many factors eliminated if you buy him IMO.

I get the player trading model ideology but we need to win league titles. Not every purchase can fit the model. We need a striker to enable us to win the league. Shankland will score goals for us. It's a no brainer.

Too early to make that call IMO. Loan maybe for game time but mot with option to buy.

Unless the player is wanting away, I don't see why we would pursue his departure. Not unless his sale will fund a potential new striker coming in? I can only see Ridvan improving, making him a more lucrative asset (beyond cutting even).

Right Rangers. Where is this f**king striker? Who will it be? Shankland or someone we've never heard of?

Our only aim was 3 pts therefore job done. That's 3 away wins on terrible pitches and in horrible conditions after the winter break. 8 goals scored, one conceded. I would have taken that in a heart beat before the Dumbarton game. Next!

Is the Danish league weaker than ours?

I like the energy of Silva.

Wasteful but it is the first game back. Matondo needs to do more. He's got pace to burn but seems unsure how to use it. Maybe we'll see Silva coming over and Dessers to act as a focal point in the centre?
