der Berliner 4,136 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Methinks the Bulgarian media actually saw that Caskie stuff, put it out as real interest (without knowing better) and the Scots media followed suit. That being said, I`ve seen the BBC gossip page using Teamtalk, HITC et al as sources too, which is beyond parody. I usually check any foreign rumour at the actual news outlet to see whether they got it from their own folk or have some "according to sources in Scotland" lines in it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxnews.com stating advanced talks with Club Brugge underway. One reason may be they are CL regulars, but they are currently 2nd behind surprise leaders Royale Union Saint -Gilloise? Who I've never heard of! Perhaps our resident Euro expert, Berliner, many know more? Expand Truth be told, my interest in football lies with Rangers and I know a few bits about the German BL. Saint-Gilloise is the real surprise this season in Europe, well drilled and not ladden with "star"-players, I would assume. That might work well for a season or two, including the promoted team`s suprise factor. They need to keep it up and hold to their best players though. Another suprise package - on a lesser scale though - is my home town team 1. FC Union Berlin, who got promoted in 2019, endet that season in 11th position, grabbed spot 7 the season afterwards and are 5th right now. Working with a low budget*, hardly any "star"-players but are well drilled. Sometimes that works. * Last season 17th place with Euro 76m compared to Stuttgart (150m), Eintracht Frankfurt (205m), Hertha Berlin (224m), Mönchengladbach (246m), Leverkusen (395m), RB Leipzig (559m), Dortmund (593m) and Bayern Munich (830m).

CammyF 9,291 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Various outlets reporting we've made a "substantial offer" to bring Souttar to Ibrox this month. Offer has, as yet, not been accepted (or indeed rejected) by Hearts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I wouldn't give Hearts a penny more than we have to. We've got our man, we can wait. F*ck them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,742 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I expect he’ll sign for between £250k and £500k. Helander has ongoing injury problems and Souttar is arguably a better player than Balogun (who has his own injury issues). There’s a decent chance Simpson will leave too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Bassey is fine at CB and Balogun and Helendar are back soon. In my opinion, we have far more pressing concerns in midfield and RW. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
