  1. Good for Scotland and Celtic. He is on like 20k a week, that's first choice keeper money. Celtic starting to get rid of quite a few backup high earners. We've been doing the same, still quite a few to go for both clubs. I hope to god someone is stupid enough to take Barker off us permanently.
  2. He's the Rangers version of Sutton. Both are idiots who should be nowhere near a panel of a game.
  3. McCrorie apparently had a good game, Holt was full of praise for him. Not an option yet (just 1 game) but if he transfers his championship form, to the premiership untill the play offs, surely he could be a shout for a squad place (not talking about starting fyi). Especially when the only first choice keepers seem to be Kelly and the lad at Portsmouth
  4. He did well, I gave up on the game when premier sports lost their coverage in the second half. I know Kennedy came on but I couldn't tell you how he played, as the game went down before he came on. I hope Patterson starts a few in the league, not a fan of Flannigan. Flannigan's limited offensively and is on a decent wage. Patterson while far from the finished article, is what Rangers look for in a fullback. Energetic, great engine and good with the ball at his feet. He only turned 18 in October, so plenty of developing left. Hope he kicks on.
  5. Tavernier out for 3 weeks. There's a decent chance Nathan Patterson could get some game time. He started our recent friendly and was probably the best player. Very, very reminiscent of Hutton in his him pomp. Positionally a bit to go but looks ready for man's football. We have 6 games in that 3 week period, I can see him starting a few as Flannigan isn't the kind of fullback that works in our system, he's too limited and defensive. Kai Kennedy and James Maxwell played in it aswell, Mebude would have but he was ill. Maxwell was a bit nervous at first but came on to a game and looks promising (I don't think he is ready for first team football yet) , sadly he is another LB. Kennedy wasn't involved much and I can't really pass judgement. Mebude's illness came at the worst time, could've been a great way to stake a claim to back up Defoe while Morelos is suspended. Instead Greg Stewart will probably be his back up. Keep an eye on McPake, since coming back from his failed loan at Dundee, he has been hitting the gym while injured. He has bulked up and looks a tank. With a lot of bloat leaving this window, we hopefully could see some given a chance now and then. Also worth baring in mind the majority of our promising young players are 17/18. The older ones mccrorie's, Kelly, Barjonas, Middleton and mayo are all out on loan. Just need to punt Barker now, useless wet wipe that he is.
  6. Inter Miami. Could be good for him. They Will have world class facilities and a good coaching staff. He isn't good enough for Celtic atm, so It might just be what he needs to revitalise his career and get to that level.
  7. https://theathletic.com/1508679/2020/01/05/its-about-the-small-details-the-bigger-stuff-comes-anyway-how-robby-mccrorie-is-plotting-to-be-rangers-no-1?source=shared-article He really needs a Premiership loan next season and probably should have gotten one this season. We seem to like loaning to the championship as it lets the players train with us 1/2 times a week. A very promising goalkeeper and someone I have really high hopes for. By far Rangers most promising young goalkeeper, we let Liam Kelly leave to livi as McCrorie was more promising and had a much higher ceiling. I think another loan to a higher level next season will happen. Hopefully the season after he returns and challenges McGregor for number 1. They seem to be trying to follow a similar development path with McCrorie like they did with McGregor. With McGregor stepping down to number 2 as McCrorie turns 23/24. Hopefully it works but even it doesn't, I can see McCrorie leaving Rangers and having a very good career.
  8. Funny 🙄 Scott brown gets nowhere near the abuse Morelos gets and the horrible thing that a rangers fan shouted to Brown about his sister was banned. The abuse they got/get was terrible, Lennon like Morelos brings it on himself a bit but there is a clear undercurrent to it, even when religion is taken out of it with Lennon. The guy that abused Scott Sinclair was banned. What do you think of the racism and abuse of Shay Logan by chance? I seem to remember some "staunch" defending by Celtic fans. I can see where this going and I actually can't be arsed playing a game of whataboutery/titfortat with you. So I'll leave it at both sets of supporters have some absolute roasters, racists and bigots. Both sets of fans are full of hypocrites, who only see the bad in the opposition and the good in their own and will use mental gymnastics to say you can't have a point because you support X and they've done this. There's stuff in my own support I can't stand or defend and won't (like some of the Lennon stuff), I hope you have a similar point of view.
  9. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50955557 Fair play to McGregor that is some amount of minutes, a true testament to his ability and engine. I can only imagine what he would be at if Celtic go far in Europe and Scotland make the EURO's.
  10. Cosgrove, Christie, Dykes, brown are all nasty players and Christie is quite the diver. None of them even remotely get the hate he does. I bet you probably think the hate sterling gets is justified and has nothing to do with race. Banned good one. Internal investigation with absolutely no outcome more like. Tavernier and Kamara were both racially abused in march nothing happened (check the fare report) Yes perhaps we should defend it like Celtic.
  11. There was a nonsense rumour started that Morelos and Christie had a scrap at fulltime in the tunnel and Morelos booted him in the baws. Truth is Christie has a burst blood vessel in his baw and left the stadium right after he was subbed. If their was any truth in it, Morelos wouldn't have been allowed to leave the country. He is currently doing his charity stuff in Colombia atm.
  12. If they liquidate what happens with the national team? Are they kicked out and have to reapply. I also seen UEFA gave them a multi million pound loan a few months back. They lose 3 sponsorship at the end of the season and have Delaney back in charge
  13. Let's be honest we are Rangers men, it's a Jaffa cake all the way 😅😅
  14. Celtic will strengthen a great deal in the window, rangers on the other hand are trying to clear out Deadwood before even looking at anyone. I think this window will be key and if rangers don't add better cover then we will drop points when injuries, suspension, games, etc mount up. A few injuries and we have Flannigan at rb, Haliday at lb, Ojo and Barker in the wide areas, if that happens in any of our big games we would massively struggle.
  15. WATP after every post "France could win the EURO's.... WATP"
  16. It's looking like Morelos was sectarian and racially abused just after being sent off.
  17. I would just like to commend Celtic football club on their wonderful tifo. A tremendous tribute to the patron saint of the paras and protector of Israel 😅😅 did no one in the green brigade think to look that up beforehand.
  18. We only have 5 away games up to the split and 9 home games in the league
  19. It's why VAR gives me the fear up here, the ref's are woeful in Scotland and can only imagine how bad they'd get it wrong with VAR.
  20. There seems to be a lot of great young players coming through in most positions, that if they develop properly could end up with us having a very good young team (that won't get any caps until they are 25) GK - Robby McCrorie 21 RB - Nathan Patterson 18 CB - Leon King 15 CB - Liam Morrison 16 LB - Aaron Hickey 17 CM - Billy Gilmour 18 CM - David Turnbull 20 CM - Dean Campbell 18 RW - Mikey Johnston 20 LW - Kai Kennedy 17 ST - Dapo Mebude 18 (not really sure about any other striker tbh) There are a ton of others (quite a few under 16 are supposed to be fantastic) who could progress and become great players, these are just the guys I see going the farthest at 21 and under in each position.
  21. Hamilton is 17 Anytime I've seen Mayo in Rangers youth sides, I've thought he's looked decent due to his physicality at that level but I wouldn't put him potentially on the level of the others on that list. He could eventually develop into a good CB but I'm not sure it will be at Rangers. He is miles behind our current 4 CB's and McCrorie. Then If King signs a pro contract, he would probably be behind him within a year.
  22. Gestures, words means different in other parts of the world... Go figure. It's almost like HSBC have been telling us this for years 😅😅 I mean could very well know what it means here
  23. Morelos' gesture is a common gesture in Colombia, it basically means you lose and doesn't mean the same as it does here. If he gets in trouble for that he could easily appeal it, as it a cultural misunderstanding. I know people will say he has been here long enough but unless it is specifically pointed out what that means here, how on earth would he know it means I'm going to kill you? He would just assume people are saying you lose to him. Kent I honestly couldn't tell you, just baffling and he could get in trouble.
  24. At 17/18 high level coaching and training is better than first team football, 19+ is when first team football starts to become more important than training. Also too much football at 17 can have a detrimental effect on a young players body, especially in such a physical league and position. He started against rangers and had a very good game. He is quite decent on the ball and could go far. I'd also say accies will have a few other decent players coming through. They won the u18 league in 2018 and the vast majority of that team will be 17-19 now. Lewis Smith seems to be the other standout for them.
  25. There is nothing I hate more than diving CB's, play the tough man then fall at the slightest touch. It is actually embarrassing to watch.
