It's looking good Stew. Some reacting to the transfers as if its a disaster.

Aribo a good player and sad to see him go but we have ready made replacement in Kamara
as seen when Aribo was moved up front. In that respect we'll  have Morelos back soon
and Rabbi Montodo to look forward to.

Bassey another good player but with Barisic almost back to his best and Ben Davies and
John Soutar both signed we've okay in that area as well. Helander and Katic still here.

Won't go through all the signings (7 so far) but overall GVB has strengthened the squad.

Worth a listen Stew. Why it's bothered him so much is a mystery.
Maybe obsession, a lot of it about. Hugh Keevins kicked him into touch.

i never knew much about roofe before he arrived at Ibrox, but my brother, who is a decent judge, told me he's decent player, and then i watched a documentary of Leeds Utd under Bielsa, and Roofe was prominent in success.

likewise, he appears to have done a good job in Glasgow, but injuries come to every player late in career, and restrict performance levels.

Possibly good move for all concerned, I think the new manager GVB may change the turgid strategy he inherited and possibly had to pursue short term, and by all accounts he has young players to assist the change.
Time will tell.
Interesting season ahead.

in fairness it's quite a strong first 11 and bench, i just wonder about how the manager will modernise the style of play with the squad, which I suspect he will or must do for his own integrity as a coach.

Good team performance last night in an easy 3-1 victory over West Ham.
Could have been 4 or 5 but 3 good goals from Lawrence, Kent and Motondo
gave us plenty to cheer. Lost a scrappy goal that should have been disallowed.

Good to see Barisic back to his assured self and Kamara, Tavernier and Motondo
also excelled.

Good crowd for a mid-week friendly, 34,000, but I expect a full house for
Spurs on Saturday. Was also good to see Mark Warburton back at Ibrox in his
capacity as a first team coach for the Hammers.

Rangers offering £4m for Turkish internationalist Ridvan Yilmaz.
But Besiktas want £6m for the left-back.

be honest and say I knew nothing of this but..

The BBC is to resume full coverage of Rangers, resolving a seven-year dispute between the corporation and the football club.

It is understood that reporting restrictions on BBC journalists have been lifted by the Glasgow club.

The broadcaster acknowledged mistakes in past coverage and said it was happy to repeat those apologies.

Full reporting, including of manager interviews, is due to resume at the start of the new season on 30 July.

The corporation and the club have been in dispute since 2015 after Rangers removed media privileges from a BBC sports journalist.

In response, the BBC said it would not send any of its reporters to cover events, such as media conferences at Ibrox.

Did BBC make a mistake and not call them SEVCO and tell the truth Rangers got liquidated and a new club was formed and jumped the queue to enter league 3 known as SEVCO ?
the old club is still in liquidation i believe and it can be resolved, sell you're assets and pay the debts and you can come out of  liquidation, i won't hold my breath

@Brentford
It was a string of misreporting and actual lies.
The BBc acknowledge this in the apology.

On Wednesday, the BBC issued a statement saying the dispute had limited its ability to report and it was in the "best interests" of both its audience and Rangers supporters to resolve the issue.
It went on to say it recognised that the club had "genuine concerns" about the accuracy and balance of some of its coverage.
The statement added: "The BBC acknowledges that there have been occasions when parts of the coverage of Rangers FC have not met its editorial standards. It has apologised for those instances and is happy to repeat those apologies now."

The McCoist spoof was the worst and yet, at the time, the BBC tried to justify it.

A filmed interview was also doctored to show Ally smirking at comments made about supporters.
The BBC again acknowledged this in its apology at the time.

Rangers manager Ally McCoist has welcomed an apology from the BBC after being "appalled" by the editing of his pre-match media conference during Friday's national evening news programme.
McCoist was shown smirking while audio was played of a news reporter questioning him about the behaviour of supporters at Old Firm matches.

sensible to bury the hatchet and get on with balanced reporting and coverage

Good to see that the GCC are to follow UEFAs lead by honouring Rangers on their 150th birthday.

Not at all surprised aka... this is Spurs no less. Can you watch it?

That's not good if you're a subscriber. I bought the Spurs package (£45 for the year) which enabled me to see all the friendlies, plus highlights, plus other matches like the U21 etc and perhaps a few more besides, including basic content. Wouldn't normally do that but with all the new purchases we've made, I really wanted a sneak preview. Hopefully you'll be kinder to us after doing a job on West Ham.

kin'ell, that's a wedge for a friendly. Out of principle I wouldn't pay that.

I'd love to be there stewarty, but no, I won't be attending. Only been to Scotland once, helping a mate's parents move to Oban. Loved the scenery and noticeably cooler than down here. I think we shocked a few locals when we walked in a few pubs and ordered a pint; places fell silent to our accents

Interesting fact that. I knew Spurs held the record down here (courtesy of Wembley) but still dwarfed by 118k... that must have been awesome.

Rangers captain James Tavernier has agreed a new deal to extend his stay at Ibrox, with the 30-year-old right-back currently contracted until summer 2024. (Glasgow Evening Times)

Rangers have tabled a £5.4m bid and offered Besiktas a 20% sell on of any future transfer in an attempt to land 21-year-old Turkey left-back Ridvan Yilmaz, according to various reports in his homeland, but the Istanbul club are looking for a fee of around £6m. (Daily Record)

Talks are ongoing with players who are entering the last year of their contracts as well. Hopefully Kent will be tied up soon. Best way to spend the transfer cash.

The B team kick off their challenge for the Lowland League
with an away tie with the Civil Service Strollers @ 7.45 pm tonight.

BTW not sure what happened but the ticket website now showing seats,
albeit it limited, available throughout the stadium.
