JTP 0 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Steven Smith has signed for Killie and apparently we turned down an offer for Carlos Cuellar to return... Interesting on CC. I'm guessing we are finished with CB's now though. Wilson/Keirnan/McGregor plus a few youngsters in the mix. It's strikers and flair players we need now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strikers and flair players we need now. We're still short of creativity and goals. Surprised we've not brought a striker in yet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I can only think we are building from the back. Get the CH sorted first as we were very soft there last season, and generally attacking players are harder to come by in our price band/league status. Word reaches me that the wage thief also known as Captain Calamity is still touting himself to the new guys for a coaching role with our kids. Scary stuff! I can only assume this is because he can earn more money by selling his inside info to the press, as he has been suspected to have been doing for years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yep, build through the spine. You don't lose games if you don't lose goals. CB positions are crucial, they seem to be filled now. Time for a couple CM's, one creative, one combative. Then move onto strikers (would be just as happy if we got one CM and one striker to start or filled the striking positions first) - we need to be far stronger in the centre of midfield and up front. The rest of the positions can be filled with what we presently have - Wallace will do at LB, McGregor will do at RB (if we don't get a natural there or if Wabara doesn't quite come up to standard) so the defensive positions should be set. On the flanks we have Walsh (who I was highly impressed with last year in his run-outs), Templeton, Shiels, Aird - and whilst they aren't going to set the heather alight they will still "do" for now. We also have a transfer window in January to fill problem positions. I still think we will see a half dozen new faces before the 1st game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 From Skysports Transfer Centre : WABARA TALKING TO GERS Defender Reece Wabara is in Scotland today talking to Rangers regarding a potential move from Doncaster Rovers, according to Sky sources. Former Manchester City trainee Wabara, 23, would be manager Mark Warburton's first signing at Ibrox. Do they not realize that they themselves have already reported the signings of Wilson & Kiernan ? Idiots. And that is ignoring Lang & Gibson.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,410 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Fujairah’s Algerian defender Majid Bougherra said the dream of ending his career at Glasgow Rangers is still alive despite reports on the contrary. Recent reports suggested Bougherra had been snubbed by Rangers when trying to plan a return to Ibrox this summer, prompting him to instead extend his contract at Fujairah by another season. However, speaking to Gulf News on the sidelines of as Adidas event at Dubai Sports World on Tuesday, Bougherra, said that wasn’t the case. “They misunderstood me,” he said. “I’ve had no contact with Rangers this summer. I’ve read in the papers that now I can’t finish my career there, but I want to, and I still can. “I just have to finish this season [2015/16] with Fujairah and maybe next year I can go to Glasgow. The dream is still alive. I won’t go to Glasgow today but maybe in the future.” The 32-year-old centre-back, who led Algeria to the last 16 of the 2014 Fifa World Cup, enjoyed the form of his life at Rangers winning five trophies there between 2008 and 2011. And he has long maintained his desire to finish his career there. Rangers are currently playing Scotland’s second tier, having dropped down the divisions after going into liquidation in 2012, but Bougherra said he would play for the club at any level. “It’s not about me not going there this year because they are not back in the first division yet. First or second division, I don’t care,” he added. “It’s about the history, I was there with them and it’s about what I feel and what I have lived with them. My three years there were fantastic.” Of his one-year contract extension at Fujairah, he added: “In my first contract it was agreed that if we stayed in the league I would get a one-year extension. So, everything was automatic, I knew I would stay in Fujairah and now the challenge is to keep going this year. “This year was good for Fujairah [they finished ninth in the Arabian Gulf League]. It was the first time we stayed in the league. So, we’ve completed the first target and now the second target is to be inside the top five. “That’s realistic, because when you saw the second part of the season [17 of their total 32 points came after January] we deserved better. We lost some easy games in the first part but then coach Ivan Hasek came and he changed everything, so for us I’m very confident. “When I first came to Fujairah I was a bit apprehensive, I didn’t know what was going to happen, but month after month I became more confident and when Hasek and [Algerian midfielder] Karim Ziani came in January, I knew we were going to improve.” http://www.albawaba.com/sport/bougherra-dreams-ending-career-rangers-715014 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
