GLASGOW RANGERS

Scottish football at it's best.

Chris Sutton had tweeted in praise of Todd Cantwell.
As soon as he signed for Rangers Sutton deleted the tweet.
I wonder why. Actually I don't.

Nicolas Raskin’s move to Rangers will be 'finalised in the coming hours', according to reports.

Reports on Tuesday morning suggested that the Belgium Under-21 internationalist had completed a medical in London on Saturday ahead of finalising a move to Ibrox this week.

21 yo and highly rated central midfielder. A good addition to the squad. Reports that a third signing is imminent. Better players on the park than leaving the money in the bank.

A glimpse of one of Rangers greatest players on his birthday (79). Wee Willie Henderson.

I sat in the company of Wee Willie and Jimmy Millar at a dinner one night.  Different people but great company both.
Jimmy a great example of how even players themselves, let alone mangers, are unware of their best playing role.
Wing half, shoved up front on a U.S.A. tour because of injured forwards and he never looked back. Goals, goals, goals!

Met Wee Willie on a couple of occasions
Talked more about boxing than football.

Came across this Honcho, had you heard this?
Wonder if the Jags fans will sing it at Ibrox?
Used to love my trips to Firhill although the
last time I was there was against Clyde.

Thanks but I don;t use Twitter nor do I use any of its material.

slightly surreal....

Castore and Rangers F.C are today thrilled to launch an exciting collaboration with the legendary rock and roll band, AC/DC.

The collection features the Rangers crest and the iconic AC/DC lightning bolt logo throughout. Grammy winning AC/DC are widely considered as one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, selling out arena and stadium tours worldwide, and whose most recent studio album Power Up topped the charts in 21 countries in 2020.

Brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, who founded the band, are
weegies and apparently lifelong Rangers supporters.

You have to laugh.  Fergie had Howard Webb, Rangers have Willie Collum.  It is pathetic how history keeps reinventing itself.  Even VAR can be manipulated or ignored or simply interpreted as the referee sees fit, to help them across the line.

Keep taking the pills

Honcho obsessed with the Rangers.
Can't blame him though as we are the worlds most successful football team with 117 major trophies.

Another clean sheet yester day and but for the heroics of the Saints keeper could have been by a much wider margin.
Good to see VAR doing its job and between it and the ref managing to get all the big decisions right.

Was great to see Janis Hagi back to the fold, like a new signing for Beale.

Cheers honcho.

Mark Reynolds, football  pundit, claiming Ryan Jack tackle
should have resulted in a penalty to St Johnstone as it was
clearly in the box. He wasn't at the game but saw it on tv.
he was partly right but it was in the St Johnstone penalty box.

Not paranoid, no way.

Nicolas Raskin has signed, subject to a work permit being granted, on a
four and a half year deal from Standard Liege. Good signing.

Got home just after the the start no no game thread.
Rangers 3 v 2 Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup.

What a game, had everything. Firhill for thrills came to Ibrox
and Thistle lived up to their Maryhill Magyars nickname.

A missed penalty Rangers) and a scored penalty (Thistle), both harsh decisions.
Rangers go 2-1 ahead thanks to a controversial goal and Michael Beale instructs
the Rangers players to let Thistle walk up the park from the restart for the
equaliser. Brave thing to do as Thistle were well in this. Rangers got their
winner in the 86th minute . I'd imagine Beale was a very relieved man.

SEARCH WICKI... "worlds most successful team"


Known as “The Club of the Century” in African football, Al Ahly were founded in 1907 and have been perennial winners since day one.

Among their vast collection of trophies, they have won 41 Egyptian Premier League titles, 36 Egyptian Cups, 10 Egyptian Super Cups, eight CAF Champions Leagues, six CAF Super Cups, four CAF Cup Winners’ Cups and one CAF Confederations Cup
Al Ahly - Egypt - 118 trophies
The most successful club in the world, if trophy count is what should be believed, are Egypt’s Al Ahlyi

Irishone, Rangers died that's how successful they were.

Sevco had done not bad one won scottish top league title and a scottish cup in 10 years, may consider themselves a wee bit unlucky not to win Europa league, not sure they managed Irn Bru cup, might be wrong on that.

Always said akabula has more faces than Mount Rushmore and cook's up more Whoppers than Burger King Unfortunately for him,  he is very easy to catch out. I don't mind him to be fair, I just see him as a harmless old man.

They can't help themselves.

Good and well desereved 3-0 victory away to Livingston today.
Tavernier opened the scoring from the penalty spot before
adding a second from one of his trademark free-kicks. Roofe
ended the scoring with a shot from close in.

Good overall performance but Nicolas Raskin (22 on Thursday)
stood out and already is looking an astute buy.

I would add a c to that badjoe.

Rangers to be reported to FIFA for "non-trying" during an Association Cup tie and allowing an opposition player to walk the ball into their net unchallenged and  without putting up resistance.
They surrendered.

Hope the ref keeps an eye on this cheat next week.

James Tavernier, Allan McGregor and Steven Davis
all inducted into the Rangers hall of Fame.

i believe you deserve a spot there Akabuliar
As the only idiot stupid enough to start a thread about a football club that he says he supports but has never been to watch.

McGregor has been a superb servant to Rangers if on occasion a divisive one.  Who can forget him and Barry Ferguson taking no pains whatsoever, whilst sitting in the stand, to stick the vickys up to the Rangers management and ultimately the club.  The other two have been good servants and have at least played for sides which were untainted by phoney wages, tax avoidance and bogus bonus deals.  Or have they?

These 2 bigots follow me about like wee collie dugs.
Nothing better to do obviously.

seeing there are a lot of Irish guys on this thread, I just wondered what they make of the Omagh killings. cheers.

aka, any idea what happened to the Glasgow Celtic thread started by Platini?

Raised it Stew.

Duncan ferguson ?

Different class mate

any chance of akabuliar actually going to watch sevco ?

Big Dunc - the attacker of disabled football fans at bus stops and sledger of lowly paid footballers in play.
He found out just how big he wasn;t when he scissored into little bits Mark Hateley's expensive suit.

Sutton knew

This thread and the OP are very quiet considering they just finished second in a cup competition.

Honcho

You obviously haven't had the end of your jeans cut off or the contents of your wallet thrown all over a dressing room, or deep heat put in your underpants by a certain r s hole called vinny

Its about time the O P

Actually went to a game of Rangers and actually supported them !

Poor result for the Gers, we got what we deserved, but at least
it's given we joeybhoy a chance to break open his bottle of Advocaat.
I wonder if he dips his Farley Rusks in it?

Fair point irish but I;ve seen all these things with lesser players, and players are all the same other than in terms of ability on the park, and it is all about picking your victim.  Pick the wrong one to mess with and you are in deep chit.

Rangers midfielder Tom Lawrence, who has not featured since August, is out for the rest of the season after further surgery was required on his knee injury.
And forward Kemar Roofe will also not feature for Rangers for the remainder of the campaign.
Roofe will see a specialist over his calf problem.

As both players are in the final year of their contracts I doubt we'll see them  play again at Ibrox.

Seems  to be the usual thing a few scummy Celtic fans
infesting this thread showing their true colours

Well at least you managed to spell 'Advocaat' correctly this time, It's only taken you 3 attempts, so that's progress of sorts I suppose..

It will soon be little sevco's 11th birthday I see, are the club planning any special celebrations at all?, I know your skint but maybe a balloon or 2 outside your smart pub might brighten the doom and gloom surrounding your beleaguered club, just a thought.....

whats the biggest poser ?

akabula or sevco

Honcho..... that Vinny told me about billy whitehurst !

Great first half yesterday with the 3-0 score line well deserved.
In fact it could easily have been 4 or 5. Second half I thought
the teams had swapped jerseys and Killie got one back but after
about 25 mins Rangers took control again and could easily have
increased their lead. Jack thought he had but was marginally
offside. Both Colak and Kent excelled with Colak very unlucky
not to get on the scoresheet and Sakala continues to improve.

PS always good to hear from the forums chief economist and
business expert wee joeybhoy. Iris is blocked.

The lying o p turns up ..... Still aching for attention

badjoe have you ever heard this old chestnut, remembering that it was revealed in the press at the time that Elton John spent hundreds of thousands of pounds buying flowers for himself.

What's the difference between Elton John and Dick Advocaat?
One;s a wee fat barsteward who has wasted millions and the other is a pop singer.

Dick Advocaat.  The manager who dropped a striker after he scored five goals.  Very true.  Young Kenny Miller.
Dick Advocaat.  The manager who came back to haunt Rangers at Manchester in the EUFA cup final 2008.

has akabuliar been to a game yet ? surely his mummy and daddy will get him in the family enclosure cheap ?

Is the pope still a catholic ?

Emphatic 4-1 victory over Hibs in Edinburgh. Michael Beale said
it should have been 8-1,it could have been 8 at half-time such
was our dominance. Sakala ran riot and was easily motm although
the whole team performance was top tier stuff. Why the ref had
to rely on VAR for the penalty was a mystery as he had a clear
view of the incident.

The stats:
Rangers had 63% possession and had 31 shots to Hibs 4 with 11
on target to Hibs 1. As one sided as they get.

speaking purely as a neutral, I think Rangers are now the best team in Scotland they should never have given Sellic nine points of a start. cheers.

@ the bairn They were superb last night, best they've played all year.
I think Beale will stick with that starting eleven.

irishone,
I suspect that King akabula might have been to a Deadco game at some time in the past but,like you,I very much doubt that he has ever been to a Sevco game.
'He has told us that 'he lives near to Oban'. I suspect Dunbeg,which is a very dull and deary place which might contribute to the many hours which King akabula spends on here each day.Anyway,an away day from Oban to Ayebrokes would be very difficult.

He's just an old saddo who watches Deadco TV and has nothing better to do with himself than to post t fascist drivel on here day after day.

At least I've been to Tynecastle unlike you ronald.
BTW what a pounding we gave you there recently.

Another well deserved victory having to come back from losing an early goal.
4-2 and could have been much more. Colak had a poor game and Morelos was
much sharper when he replaced him. Tillman, another substitute, looked the
par as well.

Didn't see it, but I heard that VAR had an absolute brain dump today, at least 2 goals were given that should've been ruled out. I'm assuming mostly rangers goals. Would that be fair aka?

I watched the game and only one goal came under scrutiny as far as I'm aware.
Was Cantwells goal, our third, but it wasn't offside.
Nothing amiss with any of the other goals albeit there were claims that there
was a handball for Motherwells second goal.
Was it a Celtic supporter who told you?
Although to be fair V AR THE PEOPLE.

Yes Des, 2 of sevco's goals should have been ruled out and the red for Motherwell was a joke, happens every week, always in sevco's favour, not sure why the VAR seems so biased perhaps there is something fishy in the set up, who knows.......

Wee joeybhoy seething. His weekend ruined again.
Lay off the bitter lemons. BTW he won't have
watched the game, grievance is his default position.

  I'd just like to point out that I'm against VAR, not anti-Rangers, but it was commentators on Radio Scotland that said that they had heard 3 of the VAR decisions were well dodgy. VAR is seemingly being used inappropriately on both sides of the border, imo.

As I said I watched the game and the only goal that VAR ruled on was Cantwells so not
sure where they are getting 3 from. Maybe wee joeybhoy employed by Radio Scotland.

Sorry was only referring to the Rangers goals.
Motherwell first was tight and could have went
either way but no big deal.

lamajamba

akabuliar is a total fraud

been telling lies on many different forums

I doubt if sevco, rangers or any team in scotland would ever want such a bigoted lying scum like him in the stands.

irishone, is this the same sevco club you mention that were in a European final two years ago?

Our 5th Final Stew which is a fantastic stat for a team
from a country with a population of circa 5 million.

Pity we lost four aka but when all is said and done no other Scottish team has been in so many finals.

Very close in 2 Stew.
Lost to Bayern in extra time and lost to Eintracht on penalties.
Naive defending against Fiorentina in the 2 legged first final.
Backlog of fixtures gave us little chance against Zenit St P.

Jus leave this here while you count your runners up medals,

in 2017 Glasgow Rangers suffering one of the worst results in the history of European football. After winning 1–0 at Ibrox, Rangers lost 2–0 to Luxembourg minnows Progrès Niederkorn, resulting in Rangers being knocked out 2–1 on aggregate in the first qualifying round of the 2017–18 Europa League. Progrès had never before won a tie and had only ever scored once before in European competition but had no problem disposing of the Glasgow club.

Not too sure what relevance that has to getting to
5 cup finals in Europe.
Was actually hoping you would have been on with
some 'more' inside info.

Backlog of fixtures gave us little chance against Zenit St P.



Indeed aka but we should have been up for that one imo.



As for Frankfurt after going one up we should have played seven, two, one. Better to win ugly than no bragging rights imo.

Was a poor goal we lost against Eintracht as well Stew.

Remember Dave Smith aka? I think he played in our only victory. Great left foot. In our first final we got rid of our two main strikers (After Berwick Rangers) and we played with Roger Hynd up front and he scored a perfectly good goal only to be ruled offside. Such was his disgust he threw his runners up medal into the crowd.

Smith played up front that day with Hynd and Alex Smith.
He also played in the next final that we won.
Jim Forrest and George McLean were made the scapegoats
for the Berwick game and never played for us again.
Shot ourselves in the foot dropping them.

Fashion Sakala takes on two Lesotho players and shots right inside the penalty box to score an equalizing goal for Zambia.

Improved greatly since he first signed up. Been in tremendous form recently.

Has the t0sspot who started this thread

been to see a sevco game yet ?

Celtic 3
Sevco 2


Good job the o p was banned from going eh?

Baa,Baa.........

the sheep are on fire

The game meant nothing to Rangers but everything to Aberdeen
in their quest for third place.

Sakala should have opened the scoring when one on one with the
keeper and Barisic and Morelos also came close in the first half
which we dominated.
Aberdeen were a different team in the second half and took the
lead early on thanks to a spectacular fluke and sealed it with
a header from a free kick which gave McGregor no chance.
We huffed and puffed whilst Aberdeen could have increased their lead.

Like I said no big deal.

on the back of disappointing season, Do Rangers fans see the appointment of Beale as a positive move and one that can challenge Celtics dominance  next season?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65449351?fbclid=IwAR2WX-lkPP2RERrKXbaaOOh...

Rangers sign Jack again and extend his contract for another year. He'll end up at Hearts. (nap)

Being the biggest club in Britain it beggar's belief that the board appointed this pure and utter poultice. They need to have a long hard look in the mirror and perhaps fck off themselves. How can such a huge club be in this position? Simple. The pure poultice bought quantity over quality.


I'm drafting a letter and letting them know their errors. Christ, Mickey Mouse could have done a better job. Davis is not the answer but he'll do meantime. If only we could get Souness or even Gerrard back that would do for me. Proper football men.

^ Even the rangers fans laughed at that

DC^^^

Souness was apparently at the game on Saturday, He is a Rangers man, however, he won't work for a sub-standard salary as he stated previously. Could be time to approach the whinging fcuk again.

I can only assume the sevco board hope for a Managerial bounce and to win the next old firm game thus making their title hopes a little more realistic and to get another windfall from the guaranteed Champions League place and cash this season for the winner, hell of a gamble though, and a 3 1/2 year contract for the lad?  Concerning times for the worst Champions League side of all time.

Looking forward to the next disastrous chapter in sevco's never ending comic story.

On the bright side Joe things can only get better especially if we get the right man in.

Fat Frank or Fat Sam, at least they are keeping it simple

Why does Akabula no longer post ??

He's taking a break from the forum.

QPR have still not recovered from Beale's brief tenure, they currently sit 3rd bottom and I think sevco will suffer the same fate. They need a total rebuilding process but can't even afford the scaffolding to get started. What kind of Manager wants to come into this mess? And remember, this is the kind of season your having with CL money, what happens next year when you have very little Euro money, cause you may not even get out the group. I think I posted something about this last year, what with me always being on the nose with my sevco predictions

The board have projected similar accounts for 2023/24 season, so where is the money going to come from to bolster the beleaguered squad  Thanks to my dossier to UEFA , you can't go back down the route of soft loans and share issues, as your on UEFA’s naughty list and I don’t see who can sell now to generate much cash  Morelos and Kent (who you paid 7 Million for) are heading for the door for free and this is McGregor's last season, furthering to your woes.It now emerges that John Bennet says
