What was your WWIII comment in reference to dude?

The comment was a laugh that I had heard absolutely nothing of any substance except the same rumours everyone else had, that included links to Armstrong/Allen/insert any other generic name 

 

Which is why I joked about it on here about his great pass & it was completely taken as actual rumour instead of pisstake it was intended 

 

I said same on FF - 

 

All names (4 or 5) have been dismissed as bollocks, the club’s ‘position’ they are stating is they want rid of guys and don’t want anything coming in unless it’s an amazing deal

Even ‘off the record’ they are saying nothing in pipeline etc

So if they have got intentions of moving then it’s completely under the radar (the way it should be)

So thats Andy King and Eros Grezda gone.

 

BTW, Fraser Aird has signed for San Diego, owned and managed by Landon Donovan. From Clyde and Hartley to the sunny beaches, some move! Good luck, son!

 

I would assume nothing will be said, but you hope we got some money for Grezda ...

Incredible, thought we'd be stuck with him.  What a dire signing, well done to Wilson getting him off the books!

Well, that's a blow to our development squad and their upcoming Tunnock's semi-final against Inverness Caley.

Word is that we have got something. It's possible there were payments still to be made that have been written off. It's easy to forget that he is rated very highly by Osijek though and they will see this as a big signing. The only thing is what has happened with his wages, he doesn't strike you as the kind of guy who happily gives up 10-15 grand a week to play regular football.

We've shown that we can be shrewd in buying great players for very little, and now if Ross Wilson can get rid of the few that didn't work, we will be in a great position.

 

Can anyone remember a time when:

 

- we bought as well as we have done in the past 2 seasons; or

- played as well in terms of a style of football; or

- improved so many players after buying them?

 

I can't!  Why has it taken nearly 50 years of me supporting Rangers to experience this?  Why have we never been able to see an improvement in players with our coaching before?  Why have we never really had a style of football we could be proud of before?  Was there something of an endemic at our club that somehow either prevented this, or at least failed to recognise the importance of it?  I think it's important to try to understand so that we keep this going even when this current management team eventually leaves.  All three of these aspects of our club will be so important moving forward and yet we have had none of them in our successful history.  Strange!

? Couldn't agree more. Seems it has taken near-disaster to shake some of the cobwebs from our club.

There's a lot of talk of Celtic having better individual players and we rightfully resent that but I think what is striking at the moment is how good our coaching and tactics are. I think Gerrard's team are doing a fantastic job tactically which is allowing us to outperform stronger sides and consistently perform to a very high level. The real brainwave has been the switch to a narrow 4-3-3 (the christmas tree). We've played Celtic 4 times since switching to it and we've outplayed them 3 of those 4 times and the loss at Ibrox has been an outlier with different factors involved.

 

This is why this season feels different to me. This time last year I was pouring cold water on all the post old firm enthusiasm because I felt you can't just ignore a dismal December because of one strong home performance. But this season our record is excellent and we are actually getting better as the season progresses. 

 

I also suspect that the Liverpool heavy backroom team have taken a lot of knowledge with them from Klopp and Liverpool and maybe even have ongoing contact with them. There are certainly interesting similarities between our styles with the marauding full backs and three centre mids with no number 10.

RANGERS have joined the race for Stoke kid Tyrese Campbell, according to reports.
The striker has also been attracting interest from other clubs – including CELTIC.
