AJF Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It’s good to see that Beale has been allowed to bring in his targets early in the window. Hopefully it sets us up nicely for the Champions League qualifiers. While we have also signed a couple of experienced players, it’s also positive that we seem to be bringing in a good balance with plenty that should still have their best years ahead of them. This season we’ve signed Butland (30), Sterling (23), Dowell (25), Sima (22), Lammers (26) and Dessers (28). If you add in Cantwell (25) and Raskin (22), the average age of Beale’s signings is 25. We should get a good few years out most of them with decent sell on value should they perform well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the club that spat the dummy because they failed to crowbar 'B' teams into the Scottish League pyramid, yet as so many seasons before they are hoovering up a succession of non-Scottish mediocrities in an attempt to challenge their sanctimonious rivals. When exactly WILL we see a young Scottish talent establishing himself in the Rangers first team ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky67 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 1 hour ago, bennett said: Hopefully celtic accept our offer and stop their no fans stance which is rather petty. RANGERS are ready to end Old Firm away fan lockouts by extending an olive branch to Celtic. SunSport can reveal the Light Blues are preparing to offer their Glasgow rivals 700 tickets for the first derby of the new season The match is scheduled to take place at Ibrox on September 3, with Rangers making the first move in a bid to find a resolution to the ‘no away fans’ stand-off. Rangers’ offer will be viewed as a positive step after fears the status quo would remain this season. In a recent interview, Bisgrove revealed: “We’ve now sold out our season tickets again for next season which is phenomenal — 45,000. “The away allocation opportunity for next season is in the corner of the Govan West stand, which means the maximum we can do is 700-800. Hopefully Celtic tell you to shove your 700 tickets up your arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When exactly WILL we see a young Scottish talent establishing himself in the Rangers first team ? I’d love us to produce more young Scottish talent that can establish themselves in the side. One of the problems we face is trying to narrow the rather wide gulf between ourselves and Celtic at the moment. With a fan base that isn’t renowned for being patient, I fear that any chances of bleeding through any significant number of young Scottish players is just not going to happen. We’ve had a smattering of Scottish players in the squad recently, most notably Patterson, King and McCrorie. I just feel the pressure to try and catch Celtic is too much for us to trust heavily in our youth groups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Genuinely don't rate Dessers that highly. He won't struggle in Scotland domestically but I don't think he's got the makings of a stand out star in Europe or against Celtic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't struggle in Scotland domestically but I don't think he's got the makings of a stand out star in Europe or against Celtic A stand out star in Europe would likely cost about 5 or 6 times what we’ve paid for Dessers and you’re unlikely to find any plying their trade in Scotland. Even Celtic’s top performers last season were miles off it at CL level. Dessers seemed to be a good player at Europa Conference League level a couple of years ago (top scorer in the competition with 10 goals), but finding a player that could do that at CL level or even in the Europa League is probably going to be out with our price range unless you get really lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more so meaning a 'star' by Rangers standards. There's probably not much between him and Colak I think. I watched him quite a bit as my Mrs' family are all Feyenoord fans. They upgraded pretty quickly in Giminez and even Danilo came in as well. I don't think there's many there that feel they're missing him given they went straight onto a title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your clubs decision to reduce allocations to 700 is what caused the lockouts in the first place but that is somehow being spun as an olive branch?

I don’t know anything about him as a player really other than what I’ve read online. It seems like from what people are saying he will press high and become a bit of a nuisance which seems to be key to the style that Beale is going for. We’ve also been linked with Danilo, incidentally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve also been linked with Danilo, incidentally. Yeah that was partly why I'd mentioned Danilo really. He's like a 'fit and firing' Morelos except maybe a bit worse. The downside will be his age and limited sell on value IMO but profile alone makes the signing make some sense based on Morelos leaving and the need for a 'physical' striker domestically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the sooner that the nonsense of 'B 'teams is exploded the better; choking the progression of lower league clubs is not going to alter the map at the elite European level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
