Tav telling Shankland to finally sign for us! You saw it there first ...

 

TBH, there is but one serious looking guy in that photo. And he's clearly an ambassador for his club.

Russell Martin on potential incomings to Rangers, with only Dundee's Lyall Cameron through the door so far: "We'll have a few before the European game. That'll be for sure. I honestly don't know [how many]... I'm excited about the people we're starting to look at, and we'll hopefully add."

 

[...] 

 

"Everyone's working extremely hard, that's what the bulk of the work has been in the last week or so - identifying character and talent we want in the building which can add to us and add to the group and add culturally and in performance."

I think it’s pretty clear that Purdy and Thelwell have basically ripped up whatever plans Koppen had in place before they arrived. That probably explains why deals like Oumar Camara (the PSG lad), Cameron Burgess from Ipswich, and Mulligan from Dundee have all quietly disappeared.

 

Thelwell’s obviouslytbeen involved behind the scenes a bit longer, but I’m not sure the same can be said for Purdy. If they’ve come in and decided to start from scratch then the delay makes sense. We’re basically back to square one from the moment they fully took over.

Thelwell has apparently been involved for 'months' 

 

So given that it is he who supposedly decides on the way forward regards style of play and then, the personnel chosen to fit that. 

 

It doesn't make sense that everything has been ripped up. Unless, he didn't really know or didn't decide until the manager (Head Coach) was appointed.

If the latter, surely that is the tail wagging the dog.

Wait ... Europeans aside, Souttar is half-Aussie, Nsiala is half-Congolese, Jefte and Danilo are South Americans (Brazil), Cifuentes too (Ecuador), Ridvan a Turk, Sterling half-Jamaican, Diomande half Ivory Coast/half-Ghana, Igamane North-African ... will we finally look at Asians, or North-Americans? 😱

 

UEFA-technically ... Ridvan is European too, so too would be Turgeman (but I doubt they see it that way).

Right, strap yourselves in ... a rumour!

 

According to a Turkish reporter, the Ibrox side are tracking Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Igor Matanović, with regard to bringing him to Glasgow.

The player still has another four years left on his contract with the Bundesliga outfit, but due to a lack of gametime, he could be available for a fee of around €5m (£4.2m).

That could be within Kevin Thelwell's budget at Ibrox if he can move Dessers on for a substantial fee, should a move to Athens go through in the coming days or weeks.
