[weshallnotbemoved! 714]

Still think we need at least one more who can play this window onwards.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Great bargaining tool to get them signed up at the start of the window.

[Liam_RFC 238]

Brilliant we have got them signed now to get a deal worked out to get them here this month

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

So they wont be counting as January transfers then

Welcome to Rangers, kind of.

RANGERS can confirm today the Club has signed agreements with Josh Windass and Matt Crooks.

The players who are currently with Accrington Stanley, will join the Club in the summer of 2016 on four year contracts.

Attacker Windass, son of former Aberdeen striker Dean, has played twenty-five times for Accrington this season scoring eleven goals.

Crooks is a defensive midfielder who can also play in defence. He has played twenty-four times this season and has scored seven times.[/

4 yr deal for both, nice one.

[Hoosier Ranger 1,554]

Not acceptable. He lied to us!

He told us we'd bring in 1 or 2 in January, and here we are a week into January on the verge of securing our third and fourth signings. Am raging!

Looks like MW didn't lie so your accusation is unfounded

Probably to keep Arsenal away

I read on the internet he lied to us...it must be true.

Them posting on twitter how glad they are to sig for a big club will piss off their own fans at Stanley.

They are definitely helping their case for getting here in this window.

Protecting our investment.

They are highly rated players, even if its Championship teams who have been interested in them, we know how much they can offer nowadays!

Shit happens when you follow a football team, sooner or later we'll need to say goodbye to the likes of Waggy, Tav, Holt so on.

The Stanley fans would be better of making the most of them still being there while they still are.

Big wes got a 3 with us having the option of the one i think.

Or it was a 4 with an option of a fifth

[ShanksRFC 3,869]

Josh put a picture and statement on Instagram at Murray Park which reads;

"Delighted to sign for Rangers FC on a deal until 2020. Amazing move for me and a huge oppurtunity and with ambitions for the club to play Champios League Football I cannot wait to get started.... Let the journey begin"

Welcome to the Club lads, can't wait to see them

[Sket 13,610]

Rumour on Twitter of AS accepting bid in the region of £550k for both.

Seems high and not seen substantiation

GM

I'd hope not,that's a silly amount.

[We Will Follow Rangers 12,921]

Interesting scout reports on both Windass and Crooks.

Think it was the first one mate.

They barely missed promotion last year and they are in the thick of the promotion hunt this year. I doubt their owner and coach will let them go easily given their importance to advancing on to League One

Very true. Would rather we kept the War Chest full.

[Bears&Reds 460]

Its wonderful to see the club finally making these sort of signings, as Warburton keeps saying he wants to add players "who add value on and off the pitch", both these young lads are highly rated and hopefully show their potential, if they do we will get that value on the pitch from them and then the value off it with large potential transfer fees down the line. Thank goodness we have no more of these hasbeens looking final paydays being signed anymore.
