Maybe so, but he hasn`t signed for anyone yet.

Andy Newport @AndyNewportPA9 Understand Rangers will not be making a move for Preston's Ben Davies. Airdrie's Thomas Robert is also not on Steven Gerrard's list of targets. Club expecting to do "little to nothing" on the transfer front this month https://twitter.com/AndyNewportPA9/status/1351910090731872258

So it looks that despite glaring evidence, the CO won`t do anything with regards to game-bans etc. as we saw with Aberdeen`s and Killie`s players and our two 7-game bans? Quite baffling how they openly corrupt the integrity of the game.

No major sigh of relief, I guess, but Jack Wilshere has signed for Bournemouth.

May I ask when did that happen? Yeah, it is probably semantics, but why can`t these chaps, being so correct re D&P and the Crown et al, don`t get that right?

How can they demand a sum of 21m, BTW?

Well, it says a bit about these managers whose teams get pounded for the best part of the game to come out with such stuff. Hanging on to a scrappy goal with 10 man behind the ball, yet claiming they might have snatched all three for better refereeing. How about a touch of dignity, realism and being objective?

Second half was virtually one-way traffic, again, IMHO, SG must jump over his shadow and hook Kent when he needs too. Lots of running, enthusiasm but no end product whatsover. Couldn`t fathom why he hooked Hagi. IMHO, as soon as Roofe is back, we need him alonsgide Aribo and Hagi ... or maybe even try a Morelos, Itten and Roofe attack line. As the Scum threw points away yesterday, no harm done. The victory streak is gone, we are still unbeaten ... and over the course of a season, such games are bound to happen ... and we`ll probably have more. Still, it was disappointing not to put them to the sword, that turn and shot of Defoe was worthy of a winning goal.

Of our attacking MFs, Hagi would have been the last I would have subbed today.

... and the amount of money they can claim is absurd. This can be added to the money thrown away by HMRC to hunt us through the courts. Must be some amount by now.

Our 3 men behind Morelos are not really clicking, and this isn`t helped when they are constantly near the halfway line or with the back to their goal. Getting and distributing the ball is Kamara`s, Davis` and Goldson`s job. Likewise, they are always interchanging, which is fine when it works, but if it doesn`t, we should stop it. Perhaps this is Itten time. BTW, watching the goal again, it is once more woeful defending from those charged to take care of runners. Far too simple.

As many of us, I haven't seen much of Wright so far, but one Youtuber has put this together ...

Transfermarkt compiles all sorts of info, amongst others there also is one for the strongest form / performance run. It might not exactly come as a surprise, but a certain club tops the list for the Entire Season so far Last 20 games Last 10 games

WHen you think that Davis has played in 20 league games this season, had 13 for 90 mins and another two for roughly 80 min, has only been subbed once (after 77) since the start of December (excl. the League Cup game) ... and then see him go full steam throughout every game ... amazing stuff.

RANGERS SIGN CHANTELLE SWABY Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Jamaica international Chantelle Swaby. The 22-year-old centre-half will join up with Malky Thomson’s side for the remainder of the 2020/21 season. Born in the USA, Chantelle represented Jamaica at the 2019 FIFA World Cup in France starting all three games for her country. Chantelle most recently played her football with Sky Blue in the Women’s National Soccer League in America. CHANTELLE CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED CHANTELLE Swaby can’t wait to get started at Rangers after joining the club from Sky Blue in America. The 22-year-old defender has had to wait a little longer than expected to get into training with her teammates with the suspension of the SWPL but they have reached out and made her feel welcome in Scotland. ... more in the LINK below https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/chantelle-cant-wait-to-get-started/4qU10VLh36qy579W5NHlxO VIDEO: EXCLUSIVE CHANTELLE SWABY INTERVIEW

If he indeed signs a pre-contract with us, life in Aberdeen will probably be miserable for him and his.

Raman Bhardwaj @ramanbhardwajTV Steven Gerrard on Scott Wright - discussions between Aberdeen and Rangers taking place. Signing him in this transfer window would be a bonus Celtic and Rangers both want Liverpool's 23-year-old Nigerian forward, Taiwo Awoniyi, who is on loan at Bundesliga side Union Berlin. (90min) Rangers are prepared to allow fringe forward Greg Stewart, who has had two previous spells with Aberdeen, to move to Pittodrie as part of a swap deal for winger Scott Wright, with both players out of contract this summer. (The Scotsman) Rangers could agree a reduction in the fee due for Ross McCrorie, the midfielder on loan to Aberdeen pending a permanent move in the summer, in a deal to allow winger Scott Wright to join them from their Scottish Premiership rivals during January. (Scottish Sun)

According to David Edgar, we have no interest in Hamer.

No here`s a surprise ... and astonishingly, not "according to sources in Scotland" ... BAYERN MUNICH LOOK AT ALFREDO MORELOS (do you copy, lazy Scottish journos?!?! ? ) At least according to Spanish outlet Don Balon and Germany`s sport.de Before anyone asks, no fee is mentioned.

IN - Adam Reach (27) - England, LW/LM/LB - contr. till 6/2021 - LINK - TM .. who has played all over the park (mainly LW/LM, bar goalie and centre half.

Same with Greg Stewart, who was rather good for Killie and Dundee as a striker, but McInnes misused him at Pittodrie and his impact was limited.

I added a link to TM`s list of primary and optional positions for players. While Kent IMHO is more a 4-3-3-line-up left-sided attacker, Jones, Barker, Stewart and Middleton are (to my eye) real left (or in Stewart`s case, right) wingers. TM also lists Morelos and Roofe for that 4-3-3 role and they are probably more up to that. Likewise, Kent and Roofe seemingly have some sort of free, what I call Brian Laudrup role. It is all about utilizing the squad and players to their strengths and the need at hand. In Kent´s case, we - IMHO - far too often keep him on when its not his day, game etc.. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glasgow-rangers/kadernachposition/verein/124

IN - Scott Wright (23) - Scotland, LW - contr. till summer 2021 - LINK - TM ... by the sounds of it (DR article), we want to do business this window. Aberdeen will have to pay us 350k for Ross McCrorie in the summer, so maybe we take this into the deal, if any.

Naughty FF thread snatched for the local readers ... Gordon Park - This aged well!
