Rangers Legend Unveils Epic Tale of Triumph Against All Odds—The Inspiring Path Ianis Hagi Could Follow to Glory!

21/11/2024 Raymond 0

Ian Durrant, a Rangers legend, understands the challenges Ianis Hagi is facing as he works to revive his career at Ibrox. Durrant, who overcame a devastating knee injury in 1988 that sidelined him for almost three years, sees parallels between his own journey and Hagi’s struggle to return to form after a similar injury. Despite never fully regaining the player he was before his injury, Durrant went on to have a successful career at Rangers, winning 13 major medals and becoming a nine-in-a-row hero.

Durrant has sympathy for Hagi, who has faced setbacks including a contract dispute, suspension, and a slow reintroduction to the team. However, after watching Hagi perform well for Romania, he remains hopeful. “I think he will want more game time,” Durrant said. “If we get Hagi back fit and well, it’ll bode well for Rangers.” Durrant also emphasized the importance of passion and desire in overcoming adversity, urging Hagi and the current team to reconnect with the fans and reignite their form on the pitch.

Neraysho Kasanwirjo Set for Key Positional Shift at Rangers as Leon Balogun’s Impact is Revealed

14/11/2024 Raymond 0

Alasdair Lamont believes Neraysho Kasanwirjo could be a better option at centre-back than Robin Propper if Leon Balogun is unavailable for certain matches. While Kasanwirjo has mainly played as a full-back since joining Rangers, his speed, athleticism, and defensive intelligence make him a strong candidate for a more central defensive role. Lamont suggests that Kasanwirjo could step in for Balogun, especially given Propper’s struggles in the position. Despite limited opportunities, Kasanwirjo has consistently delivered solid performances, and with Balogun approaching the latter stages of his career, it might be worthwhile for manager Philippe Clement to rest him occasionally, giving Kasanwirjo a chance to shine.

David Edgar Shares Hilarious Cyriel Dessers Joke After Rangers’ Dramatic Draw with Olympiacos

08/11/2024 Raymond 0

David Edgar jokingly described Cyriel Dessers as the “weirdest player” Rangers have ever had following their 1-1 draw with Olympiacos in the Europa League on November 7. Although Dessers scored the equalizer in Greece, his performance was marred by several missed chances, highlighting the inconsistency that has plagued his time at Ibrox. Edgar, reflecting on his 42 years of watching Rangers, humorously suggested that someone should conduct a study to understand Dessers’ unpredictable style of play.

For Dessers to thrive at Rangers, he must transform from a player who shows occasional flashes of brilliance into one who delivers consistent performances. As the team’s primary goal scorer, his current unpredictability risks costing the club vital points in key matches. While his talent is evident, the demands of top-level football require a striker who can be relied upon week in and week out.

Charlie Miller Unveils Secrets Behind Rangers’ Success – and His Direct Line to Clement’s Inner Circle

06/11/2024 Raymond 0

Charlie Miller, a former Rangers star, believes the club is failing to meet the high standards expected by Ibrox supporters. Reflecting on his own playing days, Miller recalls a Rangers team filled with international talent, but insists it was the core of Scottish players that truly defined the success of the 90s squad. He argues that today’s team, under Philippe Clement, lacks that vital local connection, with only two Scots in the lineup during a recent match against Motherwell. Miller believes the club has missed opportunities by not signing top Scottish talent, like Lewis Ferguson and Andy Robertson, which has contributed to their struggles.

Despite reaching the Premier Sports Cup Final, Miller sees the team’s broader performance as deeply concerning. Rangers sit nine points behind rivals Celtic and Aberdeen, and off-field financial issues have only compounded their troubles. Miller criticizes Clement’s tactics, particularly his decision to substitute one striker for another when the team needed a winning goal. He questions whether the current squad, particularly Cyriel Dessers, can lead Rangers to success. For Miller, the priority should be winning domestic trophies, with Europe only serving as a means to sustain the team, rather than a focus in itself.

Rangers Boss Clement Acknowledges Celtic’s Power After Witnessing Aberdeen Defeat at Hampden

04/11/2024 Raymond 0

Celtic secured their spot in the League Cup final scheduled for December after delivering an emphatic defeat to Aberdeen at Hampden on Saturday. Their commanding performance left no doubt about their readiness for the final. Meanwhile, Rangers joined Celtic in the final a day later, but their journey was much more challenging. After going down early in the first half against Motherwell, they had to fight hard to come back, eventually winning the semi-final 2-1.

In the aftermath of Rangers’ victory, Philippe Clement expressed concern about the upcoming challenge of facing Celtic in just over a month. He acknowledged the difficulties teams face in maintaining peak performance every few days, citing Aberdeen’s recent struggles against both teams. Clement emphasized that Celtic is a formidable opponent, demonstrating their strength both domestically and in Europe. He recognized the upcoming match as a significant challenge, expressing his determination to rise to it.

Since Clement took over as Rangers’ boss in October 2023, Celtic has dominated their encounters, winning four of the five matches they’ve played against each other. In their most recent clash on September 1, 2024, Celtic once again asserted their dominance with a 3-0 victory, sending a clear message to their rivals early in the season.

Celtic Secures Stunning £75m Windfall as Rangers Left in the Dust!

01/11/2024 Raymond 0

Celtic currently holds over £75 million more in cash reserves compared to Rangers, underscoring the widening financial gap between the two Old Firm rivals. Recent financial disclosures revealed that Rangers have a cash balance of £1.7 million at Ibrox, with their core revenue rising to a record £88.3 million. However, this pales in comparison to Celtic’s impressive revenue of £124.6 million for the year.

While Rangers reported a net loss of £17.2 million, Celtic posted a healthy profit of £13.3 million. Both clubs faced challenges in the transfer market, with Rangers experiencing an £8 million loss on player transactions, while Celtic recorded a £4.9 million deficit. Despite cost-cutting measures leading to a reduced wage bill at Rangers, Celtic increased theirs by £4.8 million to a total of £65.6 million.

As Celtic celebrated success in the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup, Rangers struggled under Philippe Clement, who failed to secure a Champions League spot after their defeat in the qualifying rounds. The chances of a Champions League return for Rangers appear slim, as they currently sit nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen in the league standings.

Philippe Clement in loaded Rangers barb after having Ibrox wool pulled over his eyes

14/07/2024 Raymond 0

Philippe Clement was defiant as Rangers’ season concluded disappointingly last campaign. After taking over in October, the Belgian manager initially sparked a resurgence at Ibrox, but the underperforming squad reverted to form in the final stretch. With the title within reach, Rangers struggled with mounting injuries, Dundee’s poor pitch conditions, and the challenge of grinding out results. A psychological barrier against eventual champions Celtic also proved detrimental.

Despite Clement’s talk of a significant rebuild over the summer bringing fresh optimism, recent comments have dampened that hope. Following a midweek friendly against Standard Liege, Clement expressed frustration over the summer transfer activity, citing the departure of five experienced first-team players and managing expectations for youthful additions Hamza Igamane and Clinton Nsiala, who are not expected to start.

Rangers fans, already anxious due to a perceived lack of transfer activity and the chaos surrounding the rebuild of the Copland Stand, found little reassurance in Clement’s remarks. After a 2-1 friendly defeat to Ajax, Clement further unsettled fans by stating that sales would be necessary before new signings could be made and hinted at being misled about the situation at Ibrox before taking the job. This growing frustration has only exacerbated the disconnect between the fans and the increasingly chaotic club.

Lennon Miller Rangers transfer scouting mission revealed as Motherwell kid watched

10/07/2024 Raymond 0

Rangers scouts assessed Motherwell’s Lennon Miller during his first pre-season match last weekend, where the 17-year-old contributed to a 2-1 victory over Livingston. With an impressive breakout season last year, including 32 appearances and notable performances against Celtic, Miller has caught the attention of the Ibrox club. Manager Philippe Clement is focused on revamping the squad, having already signed several new players for the upcoming season. A potential move for Miller fits Rangers’ strategy of acquiring young talent to develop and sell for a profit. Miller is contracted with Motherwell until 2026, giving the club a strong position in any negotiations.

Cyriel Dessers in surprise Rangers development with striker one of seven facing exit door

07/07/2024 Raymond 0

Change is on the horizon for Rangers this summer, whether you call it a revamp, rebuild, or reconstruction. Significant changes have already occurred, with the club parting ways with five seasoned players at the end of their contracts, generating no transfer fees in the process. Belgian manager Philippe Clement faces a challenging task this summer as he considers further cuts to the first-team squad. However, one player has already demonstrated his abilities early in pre-season: Cyriel Dessers.

Initially struggling to impress and facing criticism from fans, Dessers began to win over supporters as the season progressed despite dealing with a series of injuries. Now, he is strongly linked with a move away from Ibrox, with Greek club PAOK and other European and Saudi Arabian teams showing interest. With the potential to recoup the £4.5 million spent on him last summer, Rangers supporters are more hesitant about his departure. Starting pre-season on a high note, Dessers scored in the club’s first friendly of the new campaign, contributing to a 5-2 victory over Hamilton.
