I hate to buck the trend but that 3rd kit is embarrassing. The design is horrible and it looks cheap. Saying that I'm glad we are not with Adidas at the moment. Have you seen Man Utd's green and white wallpaper effort? What were they thinking?

Genk just beat Burnley 2-0.

My abiding Trevor Francis memory in a Rangers jersey was our win at home Vs Dynamo Kiev. What a night that was against a top drawer team.

Not easy but we have a great chance to get through this round. If it's Genk, we have a decent and recent track record against Belgium sides.

I get the McCoist comparison but comparing football today with patterns from nearly 40 years ago is pointless. Players (and especially strikers) have to hit the ground running. For example, McCoist and Hatley would have been binned today if he started like they did. Even Sir Alex Ferguson wouldn't have become the legend he became at Man Utd. No Man Utd manager I'd going to 7 years without winning the title.

I'm slightly uneasy that we seem to be laying all our financial chips on strikers. Could 5.6 million and a reported 38k a week be better spent elsewhere?

Seeing reports of a third bid of 5.2 million for Danilio plus add ons. I presume they must know others are going out the door??

Lundstram has been at Ibrox for 4 years...? This season will only be his 3rd. I think you're being a wee bit harsh on Lundstram tbh. In his first season he took time to bed in but was outstanding in our run to the Europa League final. Last season he had a dip but again finished strongly and was one of our better players in the 2nd half of the season.

Gary Player looking good for 87. Nice to see Jukebox also.

Could be worse...I see Brenda's Braves got 6 rattled past them by Yokohama...

Good luck to the young guy. Turkey has been hard trasustion for many UK players but hopefully he can buck the trend. He'll also be up against Kent which should be interesting.

If we can navigate the early Euro qualifier and get to the first OF game with 9pts on the board I'll be happy. How they actually do it is irrelevant at this stage.

Based on a tribute match/friendly...all the new guys are pish and we haven't progressed at all...🤣🤣🤣

Is it not a sell on fee depending on a profitable sale for Ajax? I may be wrong.

Harsh John. Ridvan has about a dozen starts under his belt so it's early. We need to give him a chance as we need to move on from Barasic.

It's not like Rangers fans to overreact and make rash early judgements based on a preseason testimonial kick about... 🙄

Due to a wee family emergency I unfortunately missed all the action. Sounds like a good run out against a very good team. At this stage it's about getting minutes in the legs and time together on the pitch as a new unit. Roll on the weekend.

Agreed Bill. It will take time to gel but definitely looking for signs of change in quality and upgrades on some well kent faces from the last 3 years. Raskin and Cantwell suggest that Beale has an eye a player and has decent man management skills so hopefully that success can be replicated with the new boys. I think Lammars is going to surprise a lot of people.

Very excited about the new season and seeing all the new faces. I feel like we've added with players who could make a difference to the starting XI as opposed to getting bodies to bolster our squad.

If we can shift Wright and Kamara for anywhere near 5.5 million that is decent business. If you factor in Colaks transfer, that would be a net profit of over 6 million on those 3 players. It would also mean our net spend this summer would be close to zero (so far).

Cifuentes incoming... According to a good source. Well see.

Apologies if this has been posted but I noticed that Dessers played no part on the 2-0 win in Germany. Was any particular reason given for his absence?

From all accounts a classy guy on all fronts. Good luck big man.

Our success this year will not revolve around Barasic staying or leaving. If Forest are giving you money for a 30 year old in the last year of his contract, I would grab it with both hands. If we can muster the following outgoings it will offset any additional spending we have planned for Danilio, Cifuentes etc. Colak 2.5 Sakala 4 Borna 1.5 Wright 1 McCrorie .5

Oh ye of little faith...
