He likes to keep things tight.

Is Ebenezer any Goode ?

Rangers manager Philippe Clement hailed the signing as a significant boost to the club’s defensive ranks ahead of a crucial season. Suggests the accuracy of that story...

Ferguson is picking the team based on what's best for Ferguson and not what's best for the club in the medium term. It shouldn't matter if Lawrence is doing better in training. He's gone soon and not part of next season. Cortes will still be our player and desperately needs game time. Ferguson wants the win so it looks good on his CV/record, rather than thinking about the club for next season.

The word obligation seems to confuse people. We've bought him, the payment was deferred (finance reasons). I wouldn't read too much into Ferguson's decisions. I'm hoping with a full pre-season and a new manager, the player will come good.

Doesn't give much away.

Interesting way many look at players values in this thread and many others. Using Cortes as an example of a waste of millions. 4 million fee, 5 year deal at 12k p/w (Illustrative costs, may not be accurate) = £7,120,000 over the duration. Now, lets look at Matondo. 2.5 million fee, 4 years at 28k p/w (Illustrative costs, may not be accurate) = £8,324,000 over the duration. Is it as bad as you first thought? Also take into account the boy is 21, not 22 until December. He could have a decent 6 months and we could easily sell at a profit. Yes it could go the other way too but life is full of risks.

You'd pick Barron if he was an unused sub 😂

Vote void because not performance related. Go on @Rousseau You know you want to.

The all round midfielder Raskin again. Sublime pass for the first, Sublime skill for the second. BTW Im glad these MOTM threads has remained MOTM and not POTM. Its slightly annoying watching live matches and the commentator asking the Co-Comms who is your player of the match.

Someone like... Barry?

I've done further investigation. In 2020 their holding in Iconix fell from 6.4% to 4.8%. They still have under 5% in their 2024, if they retain any holding. It's not material for them to disclose in their accounts. I doubt SD have much of any influence over Iconix.

Is he to be the new finance director for the new controlling shareholders?

Be a shame(n) if he isn't.

Nor should you. It's interesting though because the description itself is all over the place. The information we get back from these tools is, in many cases, just a load of rubbish.

What we got is what we deserved for sacking a manager without a replacement. The Barry & co thing has been a shambles. We bit our nose off to spite our face.

'Rangers manager Philippe Clement hailed the signing as a significant boost to the club’s defensive ranks ahead of a crucial season.' 'Rangers’ move for Annan comes as part of a broader strategy to rejuvenate their squad with young, versatile talents capable of making an immediate impact and developing further under Clement’s guidance. With Borna Barišić expected to depart this summer, Annan’s arrival provides a timely reinforcement on the left flank.'

Worst fans in football they are the same as the mob from the Eastend they never do anything wrong

This description is very hard work to read. Was it generated by something?

I like the look of this...

Liverpool fans booing their own player who has given them years of service and helped them win every trophy going shows their total lack of class.

Regardless the reason the Forest owner came on the pitch for, its totally wrong and undermines the manager who has taken them from relegation to Europe. As good as it would be to have seen Forest top 5 they would probably get thumped every week and going into the Europa or Conference would be perfect for them. The next round of fixtures is make or break, Villa and Chelsea will be playing Tottenham and Man Utd reserves. Having the FA Cup Final and Europa Cup final before the last games of the season gives certain teams advantages. It could be a dream last 2 games for Aston Villa. Playing Spurs before the Europa Final and then Man Utd after it (if Man Utd win the Europa they wont care about the last game). Newcastle can beat Arsenal next week and go second!

The manager misjudged his substitutions and an injury left Forest to play the final minutes with ten men or ten players as a sensitive Sky Sports prefers to say. The bloke didn’t look like an owner, more like a kebab seller. If he gives Nuno Espírito Santo his jotters would he be on the long leet for Rangers? Holy Spirit at Ibrox? There are times this season when he I would have been glad of any spirit at all.

I think I can understand why you say that but at least we know that Cerny is productive in Scotland. Could you get better for a similar financial package, yes.... but you'd essentially be rolling the dice and might as has so often happened, get it wrong.

You may shoot the messenger, but I have damage reduction ... Several names have been linked with being Rangers’ next manager, with Real Madrid assistant coach Davide Ancelotti the latest to emerge as being in the running. Sky Sports Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported via his website on Sunday (11 May) that the Light Blues are now pushing to hire the 35-year-old as their new manager. It is understood that Serie A club Como are also keen on hiring Carlo Ancelotti’s son with Bayer Leverkusen eyeing up Cesc Fabregas as a replacement for Xabi Alonso. Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport also reported on 11 May (page 24) that an offer has actually been made to Davide Ancelotti to be the new Rangers manager. Ancelotti is obviously a rookie when it comes to management. However, he just happens to be the son of one of the greatest football managers of all time and has worked closely alongside him at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and Real Madrid. Some might talk about nepotism, but Ancelotti’s CV isn’t one to scoff at, with the Parma-born former AC Milan midfielder receiving his UEFA A License, finishing top of his class, in 2016 when he was only 26 years old. In 2023, he received his UEFA Pro License in Wales and a year later, he was dubbed as Carlo Ancelotti’s “secret weapon” by BBC Sport columnist Mina Rzouki, who credited Davide with masterminding Real Madrid’s Champions League semi-final win over Bayern Munich. https://www.ibroxnews.com/2025/05/12/49ers-and-cavenagh-about-to-blow-rangers-fans-minds-after-sky-sports-update/

Sports Direct raises stake in Umbro owner Iconix I believe Castore have acquired 'distribution rights' for Umbro?

Yes as I didn’t know the term Bloke core 🤣

Good to have Umbro shirts again, albeit it's stiil Castore making them. It's a shame the 'zero mission' bit is compulsory (thank our caring politicians).

He is still a young guy and has something about him. We just need to get him fit(lol)

Dessers....

The sheep thing never really made any sense tbh, I could see it levelled at St Johnstone or the likes, but Aberdeen is hardly rural. Quite the opposite, it's a big grey death zone.

It would be a good start if he could have a run of 5 games to assess him! But seems to have glass legs.

Has this sort of feel to it imo. Collars haven't been common throughout our history, I'd actually say our longest run of collared shirts was Adidas in the 90s.

Barron was the best player in the first half, Raskin best in the second. Raskin just edges it due to his two great assists.

Couldnt resist it when I saw the first comment I did think Dio was good too

Has to be Raskin but I thought Barron and Souttar both had very good games.

Voted Raskin but thought Cerny, Jefte and Barron all played well. Kelly made some solid stops. Nice to see a keeper not chuck them in constantly.

Damn it, @Whosthedado!

Rangers 5 - 1 Dundee Utd FGS Bajrami

Must be a bugger if they get wet. I’ll keep my grey flannels.

Robin Hood wore jeans?

The takeover has stopped things getting uglier towards the board, thats for sure.

I wouldn't bother with Vash.

Rumours that we've shown interest in Ancelotti*. * His son, Davide

I can't cause this forum has a filter on it..

Simple solution no more TIFO displays, problem solved.
