Loved Mark Walters. Did he make his debut against them? I always thought he made his debut as a substitute at Tynecastle in a heavy win for us just before Christmas? I remember him taking a long ball through his own legs with a turn and destroying their full back. Great memories (albeit sketchy with some details ?)

Around mid afternoon on Sunday we will have played our first game in the coming campaign so what's your thoughts on the season ahead,.

Have we got the players to win the league,  have we got the players with the character to turn a game in our favour after giving the opposition a lead have the players got it in them to fight and play for each other to bring about results that will put us in the driving seat  to take our title back from that horrid lot across the city  .

Bit of a Johnny Nash one this. ?More questions than answers...?

Just want a win tomorrow. Performances will follow. Seen too many decent opening day performances that have resulted in draws. 3 points please

NAC should really be a Ere Divisie team due to the reasonable support they have. They seem to get promoted and survive for a good few seasons and then have a stinker of a season and get relegated. I would imagine that NAC will be chief candidate to be promoted so really I don't think there will be much difference between NAC and the bottom half of the Ere Divisie. If he can get a regular game I would say it is a good move

Cheers Pete. Appreciate it

Glenn Middleton very close to NAC Breda move. They’ve been relegated so will be challenging at the top of the second tier. Have to say that’s surely a step up from

Doncaster for him. 

Interesting. Maybe Pete can throw some light in the standard of the Dutch 2nd tier?

Not sure how concrete our interest was but I see Kemar Roofe is on his way to Anderlecht for 7 million

Didn't see the game but the guys on the radio coverage were very positive about the midfield as well as Ojo. They were tipping him for big things in the SPL this season

Listening to the game on TalkSport 2. Not sure who the commentators are but they are quite knowledgeable about the team and all the new recruits. Nice to listen to a Rangers game on radio without the biased filter added by the BBC. 

If anyone is on the move, the game is live on TalkSport 2 today (If you want to avoid BBC)

Can honestly say that's the first I've heard of this guy. Scored 15 goals in the Championship. McBurnie scored more in same league.

Thought he was more a attacking wide player (in the Salah role) than an out and out striker. Maybe SG wants to mimic the mobility of Liverpool's front 3

Can anyone explain to me how this can fall under the jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court? Who brought the case before them? Somewhat confused tbh

I wonder if Newcastle might try to bring in Martin o'Neill as he's now been sacked. 

Martin O'Neil is totally out of date with today's football. He was a one trick pony who's been found out at every job he's had since leaving Celtic

The Rangers strip is honking. Too shiney and too much red on it. Looks cheap and very, very nasty. It's 2019 not 1989

Welcome to Rangers Joe! 

PS. That strip still looks honking. Oh how I wish we had a classic Adidas strip. 

I hate to sound bitter AF but I hope Keirney stays. After Brown and Lustig he was generally the next one in line to wind us up or get in our faces. His wee spotty pubescent face shouting through that megaphone is an image I would paste on our dressing room wall as a reminder of what's at stake this season. 

I like the look of this lad. Young, athletic and very dynamic and will only cost 300k. It appears he was in demand so it could work out as a great deal for us. Aribo and Kamara have come in for a total of 350,000k and hopefully they will add some composure, energy and dynamism to our midfield 

The Tims will be apoplectic

Must be some medical if it takes this long.

Did I read somewhere that Turnbull had a 5 day "medical" at Celtic? Is that because he has an underlying problem?

Arsenal want to throw Jenkinson in as part of the deal to keep the price down. Its a farce Arsenal only have around 40m to spend.

 

Meanwhile Spurs about to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon for a club-record £60m. 

How can a club (Arsenal) have only 40 million to spend? They have Sky money, the highest season ticket prices in World Football and stadium that's fully paid. Madness

Any updates on Aribo? Has he officially signed yet? Checked him out on YouTube and he looks very athletic and mobile. Him and Kamara would make a great duo in midfield

One of the things the film gets across well is the sheer brutality that Maradona faced in every match he played. Italian football was still fairly defensive during that period too, 'catenaccio' was still the over-riding culture in 80s Serie A. For me that's why he's the greatest player ever, I just don't think Messi in particular would have been allowed to play at that time. 

I wonder if the gradual decline in Italian club football (and I accept these things are all relative) is connected to the rule changes in football that have removed much of the physicality and fouling from the sport. 

Not to mention his broken leg administered by the Butcher of Bilboa (Goikoetxea)

Pics don't do the new top justice. One of the best we've had in years in my opinion.

I'll take your word for it. I've seen 4 pics and they all look like they've been taken in the 80's. I just hate shiney strips

Welcome to the Gers George!!

Incidently, that new strip is honking. Far too shiney ie. Looks as cheap AF

He was playing with Queens Park a couple of years before that too!

Exactly!! There are players out there. Hopefully with the right people in place we can find find them. 

I really hope we can open up some scouting networks in Africa and the Balkans. There is value (and sell on value) to be had there IMO

Rangers have signed defender George Edmundson from Oldham Athletic on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old made 54 appearances for the English League Two side last season, scoring twice.

"To come to Rangers is a massive opportunity and I feel like I can live up to the expectation," he told RangersTV.

"There were a few clubs interested but as soon as I heard about Rangers there was only one place I wanted to come."

Edmundson made his Oldham debut in September 2015 and had loan spells with non-league outfits Ramsbottom United, Alfreton Town and AFC Fylde before establishing himself as a regular starter for the Boundary Park club in January 2018.

Meanwhile, striker Zak Rudden, 19, has signed a one-year contract extension at Ibrox.

Rudden scored 12 goals on loan at Falkirk last season.

 

Hopefully we can unearth a few gems. Let's not forget Andy Robertson went from playing with Hull City to CL winner in 2 years.
