Please stop talkin crap. The players were rusty as hell. The 3 week break killed us. The fact we cannot defend set peices and got sliced open 5/6 times in the first half alone shows how slow and how much match sharpeness we lost. Hibs were the better team today. Deserved it no doubt but he was playin to defend the the lead and when they scored play for extra time. Our defence lost us the game not the manager

Would be a great signing. Scored 39 goals in 76 games for Skonto Riga and he is only 20. Scored 29 in 34 when he was only 18. It may only be the latvian league but you can only score against whats put in front of you. He was offered to Rangers in Summer a long with some other Eastern European players which included fellow Latvian Davis Ikaunieks but due to the new management nothing came to be.

Hi Folks, I have set up a live stream in English via Youtube if your interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ai6311ZhfI

They have scouted around and identified players but because they had to effectively 'freelance' Neil Murray in to scout for the new manager coming in they dont have a full time head scout on board. Players that ave been signed have been all MW & DW. Like I said in the transfer thread there was a list of players and contact was made to determine player interest in the club and it was really down to MW to give the green light if he fancies bringing that player to the club.

A number of players have been drawn up by the scouts and backroom staff but like i said just above nothing concrete will be done until a new manager has their input and whether the players written up match their plans.

Scott Allan is being considered as top priority at the moment. Nicid's agent agent has offered us a few players that are mostly freebies but these being looked into as to whether they are what we are looking for. We are looking at spending some money and main priorities are solid CB leader, a midfielder who can control the game (Allan) and a goalscorer. They are not looking to replace Bell at the moment but are looking for a back up keeper. There is a large list of players drawn up but no bids made to anyone yet as they are waiting for the new manager to have their input. A few enquiries have been made for players with Nicid the pick of the bunch but nothing more at this point.

I know we wont but just players who I think will be able improve us big time. Not players I think are impossible to get but it would be good to see us try and get at least 1 of them.

My old man is a scout at Reading and he is close friends with a member of the Rangers staff who told him that we asked about him but he did not want to play at this level.

A few players that I have seen and been impressed with are: Vegard Forren - Available for £1m from Molde FK Jesper Drost - Available for £1.2m from Zwolle Filip Helander - Available for £600k from Malmo I know we enquired about Tomas Necid as a free transfer from Zwolle but his agent said he wouldnt come here due to the league we are in so the agent offered a few players he will have available.

RANGERS could play a number of Second Division matches on Friday nights next term. It’s understood new broadcasters BT Sport will look to schedule some Gers games and SPL clashes in that slot to maximise their viewing figures. BT Sport will take over from ESPN at the end of July and have bought the rights to 30 live SPL matches and 10 Gers games. No other football in the UK is screened on a Friday and that’s why the time slot is so appealing. A number of SPL clashes – including the Highland derby – were played on a Friday night last term and it was hailed as a success by clubs and TV chiefs. Police will need to be consulted over the choice of matches involving Rangers but the indications are they have no major concerns. A few years ago the cops claimed they didn’t want any games played on a Friday night. But the fact Scotland played a World Cup qualifier against Wales on a Friday back in March showed their stance has changed. Gers will be under the same umbrella as the SPL clubs next season after SFL teams voted to join a new SPFL set-up at a Hampden meeting last week. And SPL operations director Iain Blair said: “Bearing in mind we have the new Scotland police force, the view is that Friday night is absolutely not off the agenda. “They will look at the risk assessment of each match and whatever else is going on in that locality on that particular evening. It is certainly possible you will see Rangers matches on a Friday evening. “Every game receives a rank and you get low, medium and high risk. Then you have high risk with even more risk expected. There is no chance that you get a high risk match on a Friday night.” League chiefs also revealed top-flight clubs will be able to choose if they want a winter break next season. Fixtures will be released for the two weekends when the league was due to shut down between January 3 and 17. But clubs can choose to take a breather instead and play those matches in midweek on January 22 and 29. That looks set to cause several bust-ups as the wishes of the home team will be given preference. But SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster insists the move has been made to appease fans who want to see weekend football. He said: “We are keen to respond to supporter demand. “There has been concern about a number of midweek fixtures so the view has been taken that we will schedule games within the two-week period of the winter break in this World Cup year. “So while clubs will have the ability to move their games, if they wish, from the two weekends that comprise the winter break, when we release the fixture list it will show games in those weekends. “If the clubs at home wish to re-arrange those games they will go back to the midweek slots that have already been allocated, which are the 22nd and 29th of January. “The following season we may go back to a full winter break but this year with the condensed season and the view from fans we thought this was the right way.” More changes will be made to the top flight after the merger with the SFL – and the new nine-man SPFL board will be ratified on June 27 when all 42 of the member clubs meet. Doncaster explained the mechanics of the new set-up and said: “The new board will have three independent directors and six will be appointed by the clubs. “There will be three from top division, two from the next division and one from the bottom two. “The voting is straight majority – you will have nine people on the board so there shouldn’t be any need for a casting vote on most eventualities. “A number of key decisions will be made by that board on that day. That will start the process of merging the organisations and deal with the CEO position at that point.” Doncaster will be considered for that CEO role but wouldn’t be drawn on his future. He said: “This cannot and must not be an issue about individuals. “It has to be about what is in the best interests of the game as a whole. “It would be disrespectful to the new board to be creating any pressure. It’s for them to make a decision about the right people to take the organisation forward.”
