He's not my absolute ideal choice, but I still think of the names being mentioned he's one of the better options. This doesn't mean anything, though - betting was suspended on Gerrard last week.

Booooo

More departures from club. RANGERS Academy can today confirm the departure of a number of players who will now continue their footballing journey elsewhere. Lewis Budinauckas, Jay Hogarth, Jacob Pazikas, Jack Harkness, Kristian Webster, Leyton Grant, Kerr Robertson, Darren McInally, Grant Leitch and Harry Weir are all moving on. Adam Devine, Cole McKinnon and Archie Stevens, all of whom featured for the first-team at various points in their Rangers careers, will also depart the club upon the expiration of their contracts, and we thank each for their contributions over the years. We wish all the departing players the very best in their future endeavours and they will always be welcome back at Rangers. https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-confirm-academy-departures-2025/6WMuZ8PraTN9GwuAiJtqMY

That's cause @compo lumped a sum on him this morning

I see the club have arranged a weeks training St George’s Park. What’s the thinking behind this? Is Auchenhowie not good enough?

Russell Martin is now the new favourite to become the next manager of Rangers, according to the bookmakers. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/latest-rangers-news/next-rangers-manager-new-odds-on-favourite-for-ibrox-hotseat-as-takeover-accelerates-progress-5154993

New signin— Oh.

We've just bought Oscar Cortes in that LW slot ...

Fine words and parsnips come to mind.

Poor man's Peter Lovenkrands!

Yes please 😂 as long as he cuts out the acrobatics https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OZdkmM1d438 CLINCAL Largie Ramazani! 😮‍💨 - YouTube

Feeder club. #49ersOut

I’m not too worried about that metric. I had just gone through his history and found his teams consistently concede a lot for their position in the table. The two fairest examples to use are his second season at Swansea and his promotion season at Southampton. The Swansea season he conceded about 10 more than all the teams around them in the table. The Southampton one it’s more like 15 more (which is about 35% more). Of course, that means they scored more too. But it’s put me completely off him because I don’t think it will work at Rangers. It’s actually very reminiscent of Warburton. Warburton’s achievement was actually far more impressive than Martin’s. Finished 5th as a newly promoted side. Martin had the significant advantage of being a relegated EPL side and finished 4th. Warburton had the exact same kind of record, scoring and conceding significantly more than teams around him in the table. It showed at Rangers. The positives going forward didn’t outweigh the negatives defensively.

'Do you expect me to talk?'

How did Sean Connery find his way into this conversation?

I can't argue with that - I tried... The only caveat being, Martin has been managing sides in the lower half of the table (outwith So'ton '23/24), whereas the others tend to manage those near the top. Goals conceded per league match: 24/25 23/24 22/23 21/22 20/21 19/20 Avg Martin - 1.37 1.39 1.48 1.39 1.34 1.39 Knutsen - 1.03 1.27 1.37 0.83 1.07 1.11 Muscat - 1.00 1.21 1.03 - - 1.08 Ange 1.71 1.61 0.89 0.58 0.92 1.74 1.24

We’ve seen good football work in this league plenty with a skint man’s version of those players. But they still need to be a certain standard and ours have been worse than Celtic’s for a while.

Is this when / where SDM makes his reappearance? Asking for a friend........

The Allardyche Option? You could interpret that as sufficiently foreign-sounding, I'll give you that.

What odds would you have given for Big Sam with Big Sean as his assistant?😁

The system works fine. But you need a de Bruyne or a David Silva to suddenly lance through the defensive battery and an Aguero to finish it off. Otherwise it’s pointless tedium.

“Emergency” eh? Tell’t yeese. Admin2 and aw that.

Definitely not Martin for me. His goals against record is diabolical. That never works at Rangers. Of course Ancelotti has no record. I haven’t researched the options to be honest, but overall I don’t like what I see in Martin’s record.
