Well even 6 players with an average of £4 Million leaves £8 Million left over. An increase in wages shouldn’t be an issue as it won’t be only Tav & Morelos gone but also the likes of Kent, potentially Grezda, Barasic, Dorrans, Worrall, McAuley, Lafferty, Hardie, Coulibaly, Candeias & Hodson leaving (I would expect at least 6 of them lot to go). Plus the other duds on loan like Pena, Dodoo & Herrera will hopefully be fucking off. The squad has far too many squad players that need trimmed and some of them will be on good money.

I wouldn’t be selling them for any less than £12 Million for Tav and £20 Million for Morelos and with £30 odd Million to spend like someone else has said I would expect us to try and get 6 quality players at £5m each (on average) then we shouldn’t have any issue challenging for the league if Mark Allen and crew are even slightly competent.

He’s getting better and better the longer he is out. Hes a decent player nothing more, yes he can contribute next season but he shouldn’t be a starter he was completely ineffective against decent sides he gained most of his goals and assists against the diddy teams. If you were to ask this board at the end of last season if he should be a first choice Wide man you would have been laughed at people wanted rid of him. Hes a better squad option than the likes of Candeias and Grezda but shouldn’t be a starter if we want to win trophies.

It’s mental to see the quality we used to have, not a single one of our current players would get a start in that team, only Morelos, Tav and McGregor would make the bench.

You are talking nonsense, the ball was there to be won and he did win the ball there was no intent whatsoever to injure Mols it was just one of those things that happens in football, Khan was entitled to go for it. People seem to re write history regarding the challenge there are plenty of worse challenges every weekend up and down the country. 3:59

Typical Murty taking off our best player (McPake) in extra time 😂

Burt hasn’t been doing very well for a few years now, I know he was once the biggest prospect we had as a youngster but he’s had a few unsuccessful loan spells and bad injuries, he just doesn’t look anywhere near good enough for us. He was overtaken by many other younger and indeed better players than him. People also go on about Serge Atakayi as well but the truth is he isn’t good enough for us either, there are far better prospects than him in the youth academy. Best of luck to him hopefully he can make a decent career for himself in football but he’s just not good enough for us.

Katic better not get bombed out next season 😂

To be honest I don’t think any of that age group (Middleton apart) are good enough for us including Kelly. People keep going on about Atakayi but he’s never going to get near our first team, there is a reason he’s papped out on loan to Finland he doesn’t have nearly enough skill or technical ability to make it as a winger for Rangers and he isn’t exactly that young anymore if youth player hasn’t played at least a handful of games by the time they hit 20 years old they aren’t going to make it. The u-18’s are a far better group of players (McPake & Mebude included) than the 20’s.

Read the first few lines then decided I would rather spunk in my mouth and swallow it than continue 😳

Yes he was always shite but it’s a FACT she had some great games against us which is why half of this board were creaming themselves when we signed him.

Remember cunts like Cammy Bell also used to look like world beaters against us.

Aye cause every cunt we sign from Scotland is a great success with us 🙄 No matter what league you Scout from there are gonna be players that will succeed at Rangers and those that don’t. Fact is if we sign a team full of Rangers fans we ain’t winning shit. Osijek aren’t even nearly the best team in Croatia so signing shit loads of there players might have been a bit naive. Barasic is an understandable signing, a stand out for them, great against us and a Croatia left Back but unfortunately it just hasn’t worked out yet he’s been massively injury prone and he doesn’t seem to be able to deal with the pressure very well maybe that’s the reason he failed the last time he got a big move (to Dinamo Zagreb). Grezda we signed on the recommendation of Katic & Barasic so we didn’t really Scout the guy properly, plus he had just come back from a long term injury which for a winger is always risky, for the money we spent on him we needed someone to hit the ground running. Katic has shown great potential and if given a chance will prove to be the best CB in the country in my opinion.

Does Middleton not realise that he is supposed to be shite and just another Fraser Aird? 🤨

So basically you want to fight for 2nd/3rd place again.

The middle of the Syrian desert has got to the weirdest for me.

Lustig: Gash these days but was a decent signing for them, the guy was an experienced International fullback who had played regularly in Europe when they signed him. Boyata: a Belgium International Brown: Stood out a mile in Scotland as a youth player far above the shite like Shinnie. Sinclair: An experienced Premier League winger on incredibly high wages Burke: An one time wonder kid with experience in the Bundesliga and has already been sold for £12 million odd. Eduardo: A £9 Million signing from PSG -Ajer, Tierney, McGregor & Forrest are all good youth development players. I’m not saying we shouldn’t bring through our own players not at all. -Bain is gash exactly the sort of signing we shouldn’t be making he’s the same level as the likes of Graeme Shinnie and crew. So let’s not make out the scum have built their squad on the cheap from SPFL sides because they haven’t.

The players worth signing in Scotland stand out a mile the likes of Scott Brown, Kevin Thomson, Steven Naismith, Kris Boyd, John McGinn, Steven Fletcher, Ryan Fraser, Scott McKenna, Andrew Robertson etc... all stood out clearly above the rest but those players are few and far between and are a level above the quality of players we are targeting. Ryan Jack, Glen Kamara, Michael O’Hallaron, Graeme Shinnie, Jordan Jones, Greg Stewart, Louis Moult (remember the people on here practically wanking at the thought of signing this bellend, the same guy who upon leaving Motherwell has scored 6 in 27 for Preston North End), Nadir Ciftci, Ian Black, David Templeton, Jason Cummings, Kevin Kyle, Jason Holt, Nicky Clark, Sandaza I could go on.... The players we are targeting (Shinnie, Jones, Stewart etc...) are in the same league as the players in that second list and it’s clear to see. Yes it’s ok to have some players at that level but we already have a squad full of them already and we clearly need an improvement.

Let’s be honest as I’ve said on here before sign SPFL shite become SPFL shite, if we sign a squad full of players like Jordan Jones, Greg Stewart, Ryan Jack, Graeme Shinnie, Michael O’Hallaron etc... then we are only ever gonna be competing with the likes of Aberdeen. We we have enough players of a similar ability in our squad already and we are likely to lose some of the players we have that are above that level in the summer (Morelos & Kent). So clearly all funds should be put towards signing a higher quality of player from the continent as clearly no one within Scotland can improve us (other than the likes of McKenna who we couldn’t afford due to Scottish clubs reluctance to sell to us) The one thing Hastie has over those squad players mentioned above is that he is young and can improve into a Rangers quality of player but the likes of Jones and Shinnie aren’t gonna improve much.

Let’s not forget unlike the so called die hard bluenoses Kyle Lafferty & Allan McGregor he did the morally right thing and transfered over to help get us some much needed money (he wasn’t to know it would be wasted). He wasn’t the most talented player we have had over the years but he was a useful squad player who always gave his all and he came back from being a one time whipping boy to be our most consistent midfielder in Walters final season.

Imagine we had caved into certain braindead fans sold him for a couple of million and signed Jason Cummings instead we would probably be mid table at the minute.

I don't think it's anything to do with the players not dealing with big game pressure as other posters have said they have won plenty of big games this season, it's mostly games against the diddy teams we drop points, it seems to be a consistency issue, the players just don't seem to be able to keep the same work ethic and motivation in every game, this doesn't mean they are purposely not putting in the effort but subconsciously.

Wasn’t too long ago we had spastic brain dead cunts on here slagging Craig Mullholland and his staff as two years after taking charge we hadn’t instantly started producing world beaters from our youth academy.

The young bears look pretty gash today, only one or two of them have looked any good and a few that look about as good as I did as a 16 year old !!!

Yeah and refreshingly the lads looked technically very good usually you see Scottish youth teams being outclassed in tournaments like this and then surviving on kicking fuck out the opposition. Craig Mullholland seems to have made a huge impact on the Academy
