One problem we have with buying players from the likes of Aberdeen and Hibs is they'll charge us more.  

 

I didn't want Ferguson, mainly because of the utter drivel his dad and uncle spout via Scotland’s tabloid media.  The whole family can sod off, as far as I'm concerned. 

What a weird comment. You do know that Sam Lammars uncle once stated that Rembrant was an amateur and Johan Cruyff was overrated. Get him to f**k based on your logic.

I couldn't give fuck if his uncle was the pope, as long as long as he does the business.

Can anyone tell me the connection between Rembrant or Cruyff and Rangers?

 

I'm on tenterhooks... 🤣

I was at a Q&A run by my local RSC and Ian Durrant and Derek Ferguson were the guests. Both spoke brilliantly and passionately about their times at Rangers.

 

Derek mentioned Lewis and said Rangers never enquired (Celtic did but he'd never condsider joining them) and he is loving his time abroad. Said Rangers would be only team he'd return to Scotland for but would also like a crack at EPL.

 

We missed a trick in my opinion, but we move on.

Almost as bizarre as correlating the opinions of ex-players and your clubs transfer business.

I think I've got this. Sam Lammers uncle was correct. Rembrant was a very amateurish painter who tried to make a living from The Dutch Masters past reputation. In 2019, the Dutch FA commemorated the 350th anniversary of the real Rembrandt's death by introducing a special football to be used in all League games. The ball portrayed images of the great man and a selection of his famous works. Now. Rembrandt was also the common nickname given to Johan Cruyff, the legendary Dutch footballer of Ajax due to his footballing artistry. Cruyff, by choice, also favoured the No 14 on the back of his shirts. Many Dutch players since have also favoured the No 14 shirt. One such example is our own Ronald de Boer who wore the number with pride on his Rangers shirt and thrilled us all with his artistry and goals aplenty. A new Dutch signing now awaits his opportunity to delight us . His name? Sam Lammers. His number? 14.

 

Well I'll be a Dutchman's uncle. 😬

When the ex-players, who are close relatives of the player in question, are constantly spouting garbage in the papers?

 

Aberdeen would've ripped us off to sign Ferguson.  Rangers managers weren't interested or were interested but were put off for whatever reason and his close relatives aren't to be trusted with inside info. 

 

You lot can whine and moan all you like but I, for one, am glad he's nowhere near our club.  

 

We can't afford him now, so it's an irrelevance.

It was obvious some of our fans just couldn't see past the Aberdeen connection. That's how petty it gets. He could well be the best domestic player to slip through our fingers in years.

'You lot' just means anyone who disagrees with me.  ie. Thickos, idiots, muppets, cucks, quislings and dafties.   I won't denigrate you though, I'm above that sort of thing.
