Were fans not invited last year to suggest a new name for Auchenhowie? I seem to remember voting on the website.
I remember this too, I was wondering when they would get round to it

Great news, he sounds like he's been doing really well on loan..
I'm also liking the way they've shown 2019, creative

Well if we in Europe, we need to retain some players that are Trained in Nation & Trained at Club. I would of thought Wilson would of fallen into that category!
yup, as will Jack, and possibly Walker and McLean if the reports are to be believed

Now in Glasgow, apparantly!
Looks like the same place Big Bruno came out of, we've probably got a room rented out for most of the transfer window for our procession of signings

Are Rangers Repeating Last Summer’s Mistakes?
http://www.footballwhispers.com/blog/rangers-repeating-last-summers-mistakes
"So far ahead are Celtic at the top of the Scottish game right now, it matters not what players Rangers sign this summer. Caixinha is charged only with ensuring the Ibrox club finishes in second place next season, putting up a decent challenge in the cup competitions. That’s where the Govan side finds itself at the moment, whether they like it or not."
Well, you heard the guy, doesn't matter who we sign, 'whether we like it or not', we shouldn't even bother aiming to challenge Celtic for the title and should focus on a hoping for a 'decent ' cup run....

I just thought it was a little odd, but I'm happy to conceded I'm just a little grumpy this morning.
Its probably due to us not announcing any signings yet, 2 in 2 days, we've got a record to keep up you know

surprised they've managed to spell his name correctly and not said he's from Guatemala or something

Nah ... they will only go bananas about Dembele being priced away from Yahooland for 30m and will find the odd piece of nightlife rubbish with Pena et al, while telling each and every ref in Scotland that Alves has to get at least one yellow card per game as he flattened Broonaldinho once.
BTW, Paul Murray said (over at NARSA) that we will sign two players today ... or so goes the story.
Probably Herrera and Pena....

Think it is four more for SD don't know about Puma.
I'm pretty sure the Puma deal is up at the end of next season...

Does anybody have any idea whats going on with the kit for next season? Also, from what I understand, the deal with 32Red ended this season too.....
At this rate, we'll probably just wear the same kit next season with no sponsor.. Obviously, still not buying the kit but would be nice to see what we are playing in next season.
May just be me, but one thing about this whole kit problem that is upsetting is that I did always like it when you saw a new signing holding / wearing the shirt rather than just a scarf

This is, once again, complete nonsense.
We'll get a story about how Savage has 'turned down Rangers' in a few days, which will, of course, also be nonsense

How many seasons do you think he would need to manage Aberdeen to earn the same amount as he would in half a season at Sunderland.....
Personally, I would think it was a 'no-brainer'

Ok, who's next?
Would think it would be Jack

I'm hoping for an opening day home game like last time. But not the same result as last time. Goes without saying the type of result I would prefer. I'm hoping we have played 6 Euro games by that time and made it into the Europa league play-off round but I foresee a problem for the opening SPL weekend prior to that play-off round.
SPL opening weekend is Saturday August 5th while the second leg of the Europa league third qualifying Round is Thursday August 3rd. Presuming our opening match would be put off till at least the Sunday but it's still not ideal. But then that's what we will be facing until at least Xmas if we make the Europa group stage.
First qualifying round
First leg: 29 June 2017
Second leg: 6 July 2017
Second qualifying round
First leg: 13 July 2017
Second leg: 20 July 2017
Third qualifying round
First leg: 27 July 2017
Second leg: 3 August 2017
Play-off round
First leg: 17 August 2017
Second leg: 24 August 2017
Group stage matchday one: 14 September 2017
Don't we still have the league cup 'group stage' again like last year or are we now 'seeded' and avoid that? I remember it was before the league started so would cause major problems with Europe aswell.......

hope big bruno walks into the arrival lounge takes one question from tendermeatballs and immediately lunges into a massive slide tackle taking him and the rest of his media buddies out the game for the season . Let the revolution begin:rfcbouncy:
Bruno Alves apparently arrived in Scotland....... and then exited the airport via a side door leaving the press empty handed and raging

what type of player is dorrans?
what position does he play?
Central midfielder.
Started his career more as an attacking midfielder but now sits a little further back but I wouldn't go as far as to call him a defensive midfielder. Solid consistent passing %, decent in the air for a midfielder, creates a lot of chances and likes to get stuck in

Carlos Pena’s Rangers move should be tied up in 'next few days' claims agent
Salvador Necochea says Mexico star’s Ibrox deal should be sealed soon.
Carlos Pena’s agent has revealed he is hoping to seal the Mexican international midfielder's move to Rangers in the next few days.
And he's insisted the controversial Leon star is desperate to move to Scotland and play a part in the Pedro Caixinha revolution.
Pena, known as Gullit in his Mexican homeland, is a target for the Ibrox side with the Portuguese boss desperate to rebuild his underachieving side.
But Salvador Necochea has also warned Rangers that a Mexican club have also shown interest in the 27-year-old.
He said: "Rangers want him because Pedro Caixinha knows him extremely well and believes his game is perfectly suited to what he needs at Rangers."The talks are continuing with Rangers. At the moment, we don't know whether Carlos' move will be a transfer or a loan. But we are hoping for this to be concluded in a few days.
"Carlos has a couple of options, the strongest of which are Rangers. But it is not 100 per cent yet.
"There is also one club in Mexico who are interested."He is excited about the transfer to Rangers, he wants to explore new horizons. Playing in Europe for a club who are the most important in their country appeals to him."Carlos is hoping this will come to a good conclusion for him."
And Necochea is confident Pena would qualify for a work permit, despite his recent lack of international appearances.
He said: "It is true that is an issue that needs to be resolved."But we would be confident that Rangers would deal with that side of things once we complete our negotiations with them."
Will be interesting to see what happens here as I seem to remember PC saying that he won't tolerate players, or agents, saying other clubs are interested.... I think his words were pretty much, if they say all of a sudden another club is interested then Rangers will no longer be...

From a few years back.
MEXICO (NATIONAL FOOTBALL)
Carlos Pena: Why He Looks Ready for a Transfer in 2014
KARLA VILLEGAS GAMA
FEBRUARY 6, 2014
Mexico lacked a complete footballer for years—a player who had the ability of organizing the midfield, helping the defense and finishing plays. The search ended when Carlos Pena debuted with El Tri in 2013. His stay in the country may be short, though.
Pena plays for Mexican club Leon. The team was relegated in 2002 and made it back to the Liga MX 10 years later; Pena was a key element in the two-legged playoff as he scored once and helped with structure and organization in the center of the pitch.
He is one of the most valuable players in his position, and after this year’s World Cup, it would be no surprise if he left for Europe.
Pena is one of the best players when the team needs to recover possession. He is physically fit and strong, which comes in handy when he needs to charge the rival and challenge for the ball.
This sets him as a very valuable asset for the defense. Once he steals the ball, he is capable of keeping it while his side reorganizes in the attacking line. His leadership and structure give confidence to the team.
"Gullit" can command the midfield in style. He distributes the ball with such accuracy that during the World Cup playoff against New Zealand, he had three assists.
With Leon, he is also a beast. Last year during the Clausura and Apertura tournaments, Pena scored six times and had four assists. And in the current season, he is making a huge impact too: He has three goals to his count in five matches.
Source: Karla Villegas Gama
He is one of the key playmakers of his club and the national team. His speed gives him the possibility to run through the left flank until he reaches the box, from where he usually passes the ball to his teammates.
Gullit also runs from the center of the pitch, leaving behind the defenders and sending through passes to the forwards, giving them scoring options.
Finishing plays is another of his resources. He is very unbalancing and has good dribbling skills, which help him get in front of the goalkeeper and shoot from close-range, although he can also take his chances from outside the box.
A highly disciplined team player, Pena could very well fit in the Premier League. He could polish his skills if he goes to a club of the likes of Aston Villa, Fulham, Swansea or Stoke City; all of them lack a player like him.
Italian football could be another possibility for the Mexican. He has great technique and knows how to help his teammates shine, mainly by linking the midfield with the attacking zone.
So don't be surprised if Pena starts wearing a new jersey as soon as the next season starts.

Sounds like a very promising potential signing, lets hope it wasn't his agent who wrote the above

Lifted from FF
The 4 minute clip says..........
Intro saying the deal is done (not a loan)
2nd guy up
good news for the player
hadn't shown the pre-2014 level at new club
hopes he can find motivation in the move
Intro man goes on to say that Pedro had insisted on this player from day one at Ibrox
3rd guy
Opportunity for player to reinvent himself
Has the physical and technical capacity but off-field activity has let him down
Pedro had shown himself to be a good coach
4th guy
Hopes he can overcome any problems and go on to show his best side which would be good for said player and Mexico.
5th guy
Talks generally of past problems and says opportunity to concentrate on football
That he preferred him in what sounds like a local term for being in the '2' midfielders in front of defence but given licence to get forward and arrive late.....opposed to the role he has been playing more recently behind the forwards.
So, sounds like the problem area for the last 2 years now has multiple options if all reports are to be believed (I did say if)... We'll have Rossiter, Jack and Peña all available for that sitting midfielder role..... If nothing else, at least the problem position has been prioritised
