RANGERRAB

Excellent news. Of all the players we were supposedly signing this was the one I wanted most.

I'd be a bit disappointed to see Halliday go because he never got to play in his true position which is a left sided attacking MF player. MW played him in a defensive MF role which he was never going to be able to play in the premiership against better sides. We will certainly be seeing players leaving but we must not get to the stage where, as the season progresses, the first team squad gets low in numbers due to injuries, suspensions etc

If I were Norwich & had ambitions of getting promoted back to the EPL Dorrans is one of the players I'd want to keep.

Which means it could go to transfer deadline day....

I think Dorrans is a decent player but not sure I'd push the boat out to get him.

Surely the club who are the great champions of 'sporting integrity" weren't expecting McDonald to throw the game were they ? And should the SFA maybe asking one or two questions about the Celtc players McDonald alludes to who were questioning him about the game ? I find aspects of this a bit concerning to say the least

Let's just see what they spend this summer. Could be interesting. Unlike last summer we're now matching them in terms of the calibre of players we're bringing such as Alves and Pena

The sheepies are only people with delusions of adequacy. Leave them alone

Good to see progress being made on signings but I'd like to see us land a top drawer striker from somewhere. We simply didn't score enough goals last season

If wee Chesney gets the bullet after Scotland get pumped by england on june10, guess who'll be the next Scotland manager? Step forward...dumbert. Peter will phone Stewart to tell him what's to happen. You heard it here first.

you have to take into account who the Scotland manager is IMO

Perhaps that may be so but we're not playing against Barcelona or Juventus next season. Our biggest challenge will be to start scoring a lot more goals for starters

Call me over-optimistic, but these players look(on paper anyway) a damn sight better than the league 1 and league 2 dross Warburton brought in last summer along with a few has-beens topping up their pension pots

I'm in no way as despondent as you. It's not about how much we spend but how wisely we spend it. Get better quality in & strengthen in the areas most needed & there'll be a big improvement. I'm sure about that.

Good to see Huddersfield win & get into the EPL which is becoming a league dominated by southern clubs

Not to begin with it didn't. We had a couple of decent euro runs in the early years & the sheep won the CWC in 83. The big mistake was not protecting full time clubs. Relegating full time clubs & replacing them with part time dross like Clydebank & Dumbarton in the 80's was madness.

I'd rather we looked at these types of players than SPL duds

No he probably wouldn't have heard of him. I don't see that as an issue. Kingco took over 2 years ago & appointed McCall interim manager who bombed spectacularly in the play-offs losing 6-1 to Motherwell over 2legs. Since then I think it's fairly obvious (at least to me anyway) they've always been looking outside Scotland for the Rangers manager.First Warburton & now Caixinha. Have to say I fully agree with them in that.Scottish football is outdated & needs to adopt new ideas & methods which means bringing in coaches from outside.

Too many meaningless games in an eighteen club league. That's why the ten club Premier League started in 1975

I genuinely don't think they did. Regan supposedly told them we'd be out of the SPL for one season but few could see when we got kicked out the SPL & had to apply to the SFL we'd need to go to SFL3. After the financial impact became apparent clubs starting cutting their budgets accordingly including Dundee Utd. The SPL became the yahoos vs everyone else who were all very much the same financially.

I think the board decided that they wanted someone with no previous association with Rangers. Same as with Warburton. I think PC will be able to get us better quality players at mores affordable prices (from his background) than we would have been able to do so had we gone for a more traditional type appointment such as McInnes or McCall Also there have been too many ' Rangers men' lining their pockets these past few seasons and that includes the playing side too.

Only one club was going to benefit by kicking Rangers out the SPL. Incredible Thompson and others couldn't see this

I'm sure this hasn't gone unnoticed in the Rangers boardroom. At least I'd like to think it hasn't

Yahoos stalk us everywhere........ They're inadequate people who envy us because of who we are.

I'm quite sure our Portuguese manager & his staff will be more than capable of communicating with any Spanish-speaking players we sign who can't speak English
