Flanagan had a good tail end last season, hopefully he can pick up  where he left off.

Don't think anyone will be buying Kent at Liverpool's 10m asking price, and he's not going to play for them either, so bit of a stalemate really.

He's been a bit of a footballing nomad the last three years, five clubs i think ,and from his perspective maybe he just wants to be settled somewhere,.. i know i would.

He's made no secret of the fact that he'd love to be back playing for us , but unless it's a Tesco value transfer, then i can't see how it would be possible.

For me, Katic and Edmundson have so far been our two best defenders, and i'd start them both on day one

Decent workout but it was a one friendly too many. The fans and team felt a wee bit flat and tbh the side were at best 70% at it. The big Swede looks fantastic and Katic was good beside him. Will be an interesting team selection on Thursday and next Sunday?

Throw Edmundson into the equation ,and i think Goldson may find that he is featuring less this season .

I think it would be sensible to stop thinking about Mike Ashley like some kind of hate figure. Many successful businessmen and women are like him, hard-nosed bastards who regard their business activities as some kind of combat zone.

 

He wouldn't be in the least bit phased by anything said about him on here or anywhere else. Nor will he ever change the way he operates as a result of anyone thinking he's a bastard. I'm sure in his eyes his business successes vindicate everything he does and justify every enemy he's made in the process. There comes a point where repeatedly reading how Mike Ashley is a shit just looks like fleas shouting at an elephant. He can't hear you, he wouldn't care if he did, we don't benefit, it's just pointless venting.

 

Rangers has entered into a contract that favours Sports Direct or at least fails to favour Rangers - exactly the aim of all of Ashley's business deals. The people running Rangers were too corrupt or too stupid to safeguard their own interests properly and now they or their successors will have to find a way out. But is it reasonable to expect Ashley to help them or to condemn him for not doing so? I'm in no way defending Mike Ashley but .... I don't think so.

Newcastle United supporters forum have their very own Ashley thread, which pretty much sums him up for me.

Unfortunately he'll never go under ,..Ashley, like the cockroaches, would survive a nuclear war.

Newcastle have payed a reported club record £40 million for Brazilian striker Joe Linton which it's  being speculated may well kill off any Newcastle move for Morelos.

That's got to be sticking in Ashley's craw that one .

We do need to clear out players , but i'm not convinced Candeias should've been one of those players.

Not great business imo, good luck to him though.

I have this feeling of deja vu.

He's not going to go away till he drains every last penny he can out of our club.

I also have one four letter word that i use to describe him , but  i'll refrain from using it.

                      McGregor 

 Tavernier - Goldson - Helander- Barisic

            Kamara -Davis - Aribo 

                    Arfield - Ojo

                      Morelos.

....and the added bonus of no phone calls from Steve Clarke.

it will be good to see a big Helander at the heart of the defence.....

 

 

 

The majority of players linked to our club by the usual sources will come to absolutely nothing .

Just clickbait

It's just Rangers.  RFC - Rangers Football Club.  

 

Grown men really shouldn't wear football shirts unless they're actually playing football, in my opinion.  Old, pre sponsored shirts, get you off.

I couldn't care less about what age supporters wear a Rangers shirt , the important thing is, it's a Rangers shirt.

Can't believe they are advertising these in the online club shop.

Dorrans may get a chance to wear it , but Worrall and Wallace ?

I think it will go down to the wire, Liverpool to win on penalties.

£20m for Morelos, and i'm sure we could bung in Lafferty and Hererra as a gesture of goodwill.

I wonder was she above the law ?.?

New strip looks okay, going by the leaks...  

 

Mmm ? not so sure about that top, looks to me like the sort of top you'd win bugger all in.

Why shouldn't they?  They are doing what young people do and should be allowed to do it in peace.

They are not normal young people though , and as i'm sure they'll have been made well aware of , they are also still representing the club regardless of where they are .

The 9 iar team got up to much worse , but back then not everybody carried a video camera.

If I played forRangers I think I’d be holidaying well away from Neanderthal man.

Absolutely, I would think a holiday somewhere with a certain degree of anonymity might be the preferred choice , but hey, what would i know.

Confirmation that men can concentrate on two things at the same time .?

The competition is given very little creedence by the super rich leagues, and the possibility of a Champions league place is the real prize for them.

Can you imagine Rangers handing back tickets for the final ?

McGregor . Without doubt the only player that has performed consistently, and to the level that is required at Rangers.

He's been an influence in many other ways too.

Wee blip at the end there, but he can be forgiven for that.

Works as is for me @Rousseau ?
