I'm hoping it's Sima for a wide position, remember him playing against us for Slavia Prague and he was a handful.
Dessers looks decent for up top, but looks like it's going to take a big outlay so with that comes big pressure.

Possibly waiting to see who we can get money for. For me getting Kamara out the door is a priority. Very decent player but just not interested in playing hereI'm hoping it's Sima for a wide position, remember him playing against us for Slavia Prague and he was a handful.

I’d like to take credit but someone else’s work. It makes interesting if depressing reading for Scottish club football

As for Rangers, we have won twenty knockout games in Europe in the last four years. I need hardly list them.
Scottish knockout victories in Europe since 2012 (excluding Rangers): 43
Rangers knockout victories in Europe since 2018: 20.
The only two results above that I would consider impressive are Aberdeen’s win over Groningen and St Johnstone’s victory against Rosenborg. The rest are expected wins against mediocrity or unknown minnows, the worst that European football has to offer.
Whereas our list of conquests contains clubs from Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia, Portugal, Russia, Poland, and Turkey.
The five year Scottish co-efficient between 2012-2017 was 18.925. The last five years it’s 36.900.
In 2017/18 Scotland was ranked 26th in Europe, level with Belarus. Now Scotland is in 9th.

Is he better than Colak?Seemingly had a bid for Shankland turned down by Hearts.
Sorry but for me he’s not. If we do sign him I’d love to be proved wrong
Possibly waiting to see who we can get money for. For me getting Kamara out the door is a priority. Very decent player but just not interested in playing here.
Yeah, we need to try and get some money in, I'm thinking the likes of Kamara, Davies, Hagi especially.
Absolutely but it’s a sore one to lose Hagi. We ll never know but he had the makings of a cracking player but when you’re out for a full year the chances are you’re not coming back to the same level.Yeah, we need to try and get some money in, I'm thinking the likes of Kamara, Davies, Hagi especially.
I’m sure we ll make our money back on Davies. Surely a Championship club will take him.
Kemar Roofe is on relatively big money and will no doubt see out his contract , and you can’t blame him. If he was fit he could make a huge difference to our season but I get the feeling that he’s quite happy picking up his wages and doing as little as possible. A shame and a waste for him personally and the club

I read many on FF saying he wasn’t good enough to spend £5m. He certainly was never too good to play here, or you would have sold a kidney to get him for £5m. He wasn’t consistent and did next to fuck all against us. I was hoping you would buy him, but knew he was off.We are waiting on the striker that can actually score the goals needed to mount a challenge. If Beales mind is made up on Colak then we have to cash in on him. Far too good a striker to be playing second fiddle in the Scottish league!
Desserts , Sima etc have been talked about for weeks. Time for talking is up. Time to get these guys signed up
Tillman is seemingly going onto bigger and better things. It was obvious from early on he was far too good for the Scottish game. Anyway he did us a turn while here and actually made us money despite never being our player. Hopefully it will help if we are ever in for other Bayern youngsters on loan

To you. We are the only club that are champions, treble winners world record and going for three in a row. Won 17 out of the last 21 on offer. You keep winning euro knockout games we keep knocking you out of everything else. ;)I’d like to take credit but someone else’s work.

Fair deal. You and St Johnstone two a piece.
Please
Same goes for Rangers fans,surely none on Celtic forums.
Bluemoon and Kickback for me.Nothing else.
Please tell me you are not on Rangers forums.I read many on FF saying he wasn’t good enough to spend £5m.

You do realise Rangers did trigger the buy option?I read many on FF saying he wasn’t good enough to spend £5m. He certainly was never too good to play here, or you would have sold a kidney to get him for £5m. He wasn’t consistent and did next to fuck all against us. I was hoping you would buy him, but knew he was off.
Bayern then triggered their buy back option and in doing so paid Rangers a 7 figure amount
He won young player of the year in Scotland.
Bayern either have a very decent offer for him or are keeping him for themselves
In short we loaned a young player who was voted the best young player in Scotland and actually made well over a million in profit despite not being our player.
I can only think of one thing you hold a World Record in and you really don’t want to go down that roadTo you. We are the only club that are champions, treble winners world record and going for three in a row. Won 17 out of the last 21 on offer.

I’m just finished reading the Transfer Thread. Looks like Wee Bazza was wrong as Dykes has signed a new contract at QPR and good luck to him

It’s the Uber staunch brigade I just don’t get. I’ve had to delete a few guys I used to go to games with from Facebook because of the bitterness and constant Child abuse posts! Walking , Talking , Stereotypes
Rangers have been granted unprecedented permission by the Scottish FA to take the SPFL to court as they seek an apology and legal costs over the cinch sponsorship dispute.
The long-running row between the league’s governing body and the Ibrox club stems from the title sponsorship agreement that SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster signed with cinch in June 2021.
Rangers successfully argued that an existing contract agreement they held with Park’s Motor Group prohibited them from providing cinch with advertising inventory, with that contention being ratified between the parties in April last year.
Subsequently, that July, the court of session awarded an interlocuter in favour of Park’s, confirming the legal status of the exclusivity provision in their pre-existing contract with Rangers.
The contract with cinch was then revised to absolve Rangers from any obligation to provide the online car retailer with advertising space at Ibrox, with Doncaster commenting at the time: “Under the terms of the revised cinch contract, Rangers are no longer required to participate by providing the sponsorship inventory that they have so far not provided, whilst, crucially, the overall income to Scottish football is expected to remain materially unchanged over the original five-year term of the sponsorship.”
Herald Sport understands that at the time of the ratification of the Park’s contract, the SPFL indicated they would provide an apology to Rangers and Park’s Motor Group and consider paying the legal expenses incurred by the club in contesting their position.
However, no such apology nor financial compensation has been forthcoming, leading the Rangers board to lose patience with the SPFL, and they are now ready to launch legal proceedings imminently with the blessing of the Scottish FA.
It is understood that if a statement including a formal apology and costs are offered to Rangers, they will be happy to finally draw a line under this particular matter, but such a public climbdown would prove embarrassing to Doncaster and may lead to questions around his handling of the deal from stakeholders.
With legal expenses already running into hundreds of thousands of pounds for both the SPFL and Rangers, the dispute over the deal – worth roughly £1.5m a season - may end up ultimately costing the league a hugely significant portion of that revenue.
