  1. I agree when you take into account the speed at which it happens. He has to be sure. It’s not blatant anyway.
  2. That’s a fantastic preview of Ufa. If we’re not clinical at Ibrox it could be very tough.
  3. They needed away goals to get past Domzale who are slightly worse than Maribor. Needed a last minute goal to sneak past Progres. In the league they've been better though, drawing to the champions Spartak, comfortably beat Anzhi 3-0 who were almost relegated last year and narrowly losting to Krasnador who finished 4th. We should be favourites on that evidence. The home game is huge, we'll want to go over there with a buffer like with Maribor.
  4. What annoyed me was how little time they gave to it. There was a 1 hour show after the Celtic game the other night whereas last night we had to share 22 minutes with Hibs and we got 9 minutes of that. Could be they'll spend time on it tonight but I was in the car at the time and expecting to hear their take on the game and I'd missed the 9 minutes they did give to it!
  5. Molde's record transfer is £4m for sold Diouf when he went to Man Utd. I thought at only 18 he might be valued around there but the world's gone mad with transfer fees. Leipzig probably agreed to let Molde keep him till the deadline day.
  6. Didn’t know he was valued so highly and big clubs were already in for him
  7. Looks like you're right. Turns out Arsenal and RB Leipzig are linked with him.
  8. Apologies not a rumour, but Erling Braut Håland pretty much single handedly knocked out Hibs according to both Lennon and Solskaer. Just turned 18, 6 foot 3 striker and is already banging them in. Hope someone at Rangers has taken notice!
  9. Rennes are the main team they'll want to avoid and I don't think many will fancy a visit to Red Star Belgrade either.
  10. @Ser Barristan Selmy - they didn't look great but you have to look at their record in Europe (especially at home) and they are clearly a decent European side. In the last 3/4 years Sevilla, Spartak Moscow, Chelsea, Sporting Lisbon, Maccabi Tel Aviv and another half dozen smaller teams have failed to win at their ground. Only Liverpool and Schalke have done that. I think Gerrard has built a very solid team that makes good attacking sides look ordinary. And I thought a good bit of the joy they did get wouldn't have happened with Coulibaly/Barisic/Flanagan on the park. We could be more clinical but Gerrard is in the process of adding to the team in that area.
  11. Thought the referee was poor, he was flashing yellows at our players for fun but let their guys off with plenty. One in particular was the definition of a professional foul (and therefore yellow card) when one of our guys skinned their big centre back and he just stuck out his arm to take him down.
  12. We're not listed here but I take it we would be in the place of Ufa there, so in Pot 4? That would means we'd have a much harder group than Celtic who are in Pot 2.
  13. So will our group be made up of teams in that section from Rapid to Kobenhavn? Or is it just ordered randomly?
  14. Gutting, I was worried after Gerrard even mentioned the word fatigue
  15. Bids made for our players are always going to provoke discussion though
  16. Youtube is absolutely huge with young people. They are completely addicted to it. Sad to see to be honest, but the club should be doing as much as possible to put quality Rangers content on there. Great place to win fans.
  17. When Alan Shearer was 21 he only scored 13 in 41 games in the second tier. At 21 Andy Cole only managed 12 in 29 games in the second tier. Ally McCoist managed 8 in 30. By 23/24 years old each one of the above had hit 34 top league goals in a season. Morelos scored 14 in 38 league games aged 21. We could have a 30+ goal striker on our hands if we hold on to him and develop his goalscoring. Time to get McCoist back in the coaching team?
  18. Thanks for that John. The BBC absolutely dominates the radio, it must have an exclusive rights deal for football, so some of the comments about the BBC coverage being irrelevant are way off the mark. The BBC Sport website/app is also very good and by a country mile the most popular place for Scottish football fans to check on the football and get updates. It’s been a big disappointment for Rangers fans since we stopped getting proper game updates on there.
  19. That’s a good question Craig and one the club have hopefully raised with them. However i think it’s that they chose to be inconsistent those instances rather than stick to their principles.
  20. I obviously meant no coverage from the BBC Looks like a few of us will just have to agree to disagree on this, I think you're way off on that one but there's no benefit in repeating reasons given on previous pages
  21. Not when valuing players. Morelos only cost us £1m because of the level he was playing at. The same applies in Scotland, there's a cap on how much people will pay for players playing at this level. I've slapped a £10m price tag on him so I think I've done that because I don't think anybody is going to pay that just now.
  22. And they won't get it. I was just pointing out that to compare those goal tallies as if they are equal is not helpful. At this stage I'd value him close to the £10m. A season under Gerrard should improve his reputation and value. Our scouts should have a good idea of what options are out there and if we turn down bids it's because we can't improve on Morelos with the money.
  23. Come on now, 46 of Morelos's 73 goals were scored in Finland, and the Euro goals all in qualifiers, most against very poor opposition. The Finnish league is roughly equal to the Irish league according to UEFA's coefficient. Dembele's goals were in Scotland and the English Championship and 3 of the European goals were against Man City and PSG. Lets not get sidetracked here comparing our players with theirs but this comparison doesn't really help us value our player, Morelos.
