How's it going Aka? I just cannot get over Seville. My good lady told me to give my heed a shake. I have nothing to offer but blood,sweat and tears.
It was like putting a good few quid on a horse and getting beat a nose. I've had many phone calls from fellow bears but it looks like I've took it the worst. Speak later to the top Rangers man on here. |

Was disappointing Stew but Saturdays win put the smile back on my face.
We were expected to get through our group but thereafter the expectations of progress were poor especially when we got Borussia Dortmund in the qualifying round of the knock-out stages. Then going on to beat Red Star, Braga and Leipzig, all formidable opponents, and getting to the final was just incredible. A fantastic achievement. On top of that was the financial benefits with ticket sales and prize money earning us close to £40 million. This excludes Hospitality and the TV bonus payments which will take this figure substantially higher. Will post it when I get it. |

Was 50 years ago yesterday Stew that we won the Cup-Winners-Cup beating Dinamo Moscow 3-2 in the final in Barcelona.
It was a case of third time lucky as we'd lost our two previous finals to Fiorentina (a two-legged affair) and Bayern Munch. On the road to Barcelona we beat Rennes, Sporting Lisbon, Torino and Bayern Munich. 4 top teams. In the game against Sporting Lisbon we won 3-2 at Ibrox and lost the return game by the same score meaning we went to extra time. Both teams scored to make it 3-4 and 6-6 on aggregate. The game went to penalties and Rangers lost before the rule book was produced and the referee was made aware that away goals, the rule had just been introduced, counted in extra time as well as normal time and Rangers were then announced as the winners. What a night of mixed emotions that was. |

Aka, I remember when the referee got it wrong in a Rangers match because after full time or extra time he was unaware it was decided by a toss of the coin. I remember vividly it was against Real Zaragoza. (spelling) John Grieg won the toss and we were into the semi or final.
I read that in John Grieg's book....'A Captain's part' which I won as a 12 year old by selling the most raffle tickets for the Aberdeen branch of the Rangers supporters club. The goal from Jack lifted my spirits but that's five finals now and one win in Barcelona in which I had to carry my parents radiogram through to the kitchen to listen to the match. Up 3-0 then it went 3-2... |

Still awaiting news on Connor Goldson but rumours abound thatr he's keen to extend his stay.
Other out of contract players are Leon Balogun, Steven Davis and Allan McGregor who are currently in talks with Ross Wilson Rangers Sport. |

Had loads of players books over the years but the 2 I enjoyed most were The Jim Baxters The Party's Over and Ted McMinns The Tin Man.

ted was underrated player IMO

Some fantastic anecdotes in them.
I think I've got the players right but its the gist of this one that shows the cruel humour amongst players. Celtic were cruising to victory over Rangers with not long to go when Roy Aitken shouted over to Ally McCoist, who had been on from the start but had a poor game, "Heh Ally how long was there to go when you came on" Another was Ferguson telling his players before big games "Just remember its no Rea Madrid yer playing" which had the players laughing in the dressing room as they prepared to play Real MNadrid in the final of the Cup-Winners_Cup. |

Reports in the media that Aston Villa are interested in signing Calvin Bassey.
Bassey, signed on a free transfer, still has 2 full years to go on his contract so Rangers can hold out for a decent transfer fee. North of £15m would be my price given the money floating about in England. |

Sums up Scottish Football ... kid would leave the "mighty" Rangers to go to a Prem League side who finished 14th last season

You forgetting that Steven Gerrard did the exact same thing?

By:
Rangers have put a £25m price tag on his head.

Happy 150th birthday this week to the Famous Glasgow Rangers. |

Its the money with players not the history and heritage of a club
Id sooner play fir Rangers than a Southampton but thats me |

By:
in fairness rangers died SS, so sevco dont have much history, southhampton beat man utd in fa cup final in 70s
|
|
By:
That reminds me of one of the Celtic supporters who no longer posts on here.
Every other post was Rangers died, Sevco, no history, only 9 years old and etc etc. Then he posted Sevco have spent the last 50 years trying to emulate our European Cup win. I always laugh when I recall that. |

Transfer gossip from the DR
Gio van Bronckhorst is set for a rebuild, with several other first-team starts set to become free agents. Connor Goldson looks to be leaving Ibrox while Allan McGregor could stay another year, as could Leon Balogun. Steven Davis is another who could be leaving Govan, despite Ian Baraclough reckoning his Northern Ireland international has the qualities to remain at Rangers. Sunderland striker Ross Stewart is attracting interest from Ibrox, as are Man City defender Cameron Humphreys and Blackburn's Joe Rothwell. |

On the other side of Glasgow, Rangers are set to lose Calvin Bassey to Aston Villa despite placing a £25m price tag on the defender.
That preceded that article from the DR. |

Willie Woodburn got suspended Sin Died Stew.
He had a poor disciplinary record albeit you probably wouldn't blink about it nowadays. But it was his reaction to being badly fouled that saw him get that punishment. He got up and headbutted the guy. The SFA revoked the suspension 3 years later but he'd already retired. |

By:
Thanks for the correction Aka.

Cedric Itten heading back to his homeland and signing for Young Boys for £1.55m
Still no news on the out of contract players but Connor Goldson has put his house up for sale. |
|
By:
Despite the media reporting yesterday that Connor Goldson was ready to sign for Nottingham Forest
and him posting a thanks for the memories message on his twitter account her's done a u-turn and signed a new 4 year deal. Other confirmed news from Ibrox is that Steven Davis has signed a one year extension to his contract and Aberdeen 'wonder kid' Lancelot Pollard (15yo) has been bought from Aberdeen for a development fee and signed his first professional contract. Cedric Itten has completed his move to Young Boys. Stevie G never gave him a chance imo. |

By:
must have got well paid goldson to stay in glasgow rather than go to EPL, good luck to the lad, money is hard to come by but good to have.
|
|
By:
Still no news on Leon Balogun but reports suggest Alan McGregor has been offered a new contract.
With John Souttar signed and both Alfredo Morelos and Janis Hagi returning from injury I think it'll be a case of waiting to see who we offload before making any decent signings. |
|
By:
Leon Balogun to leave Ibrox after failing to agree terms for a new contract.
Sorry to see him go but I suppose with Goldson re-signing and Souttar joining he'd be fighting with Katic, returning from a loan spell, and Heilander, returning from injury, for a place on the bench. |

A message from Rangers to the supporters.
RANGERS would today like to put on record their sincere thanks to the club’s supporters, with over 45,000 season tickets renewed by today’s deadline. It is another incredible show of strength from our fans, who have cemented Ibrox as one of Europe’s most iconic sporting venues with a series of atmospheres that undoubtedly assisted in carrying Gio van Bronckhorst’s side all the way to the UEFA Europa League final. That figure of over 45,000 represents a new record at the renewal date, with the manager and his players once again able to count on your unmatched backing when the new season gets underway. |

From the BBC
Sevilla are ready to bid £6.9m for 25-year-old Rangers and Colombia forward Alfredo Morelos. (Fichajes, in Spanish) New Manchester City signing Erling Haaland appears to have dropped a hint that fellow Norwegian striker Erik Botheim will join Rangers, with the 22-year-old without a club after terminating his contract with Russian outfit Krasnodar following the invasion of Ukraine. (The Herald) Rangers goalkeeper Robby McCrorie is attracting great interest from clubs in England and Scotland as the 24-year-old faces uncertainty at Ibrox with Allan McGregor's future yet to be decided and Jon McLaughlin set to start the new season as first-choice. (Scottish Sun) |

By:
6.9 million? What a laugh Aka. We badly need him and he's worth four times that imo.
|
|
By:
Last year of his contract Stew and returning from a serious injury.
Sevilla know that we might be tempted rather than see him go at the end of the season for nothing. I doubt we'll get much more in the circumstances. |
|
By:
When he's on form Aka he's a 20 million striker easily. (IMHO)
|
|
By:
he will go for whatever somebody is prepared to pay, I think he's difficult to assess as what circumstances of a club he would suit or who would be interested, not great technically touch, but very clever movement and can get goals.
Certainly been a great buy and good servant. |
|
By:
Not disagreeing with your valuation Stew but all things considered I think Rangers would readily accept an offer closer to £10m.
Its went very quiet on the Calvin Bassey front but both Kamara and Aribo have said they are happy to remain at Ibrox. |
|
By:
Was exactly 5 years ago today that we signed Morelos from HJ Helsinki for £900,000.
What a bargain that turned out to be. |
