If I remember correctly, Tugay wasn't always a regular in the Rangers team at the time. We were able to sign him for that reason. Similar, I believe, to how we got Eyal Berkovic on loan from Celtic, who was the prequel to Tugay. Souness didn't take up a permanent deal for Berkovic, who played a part in our promotion, and then Tugay came in.

If the aim was to get relegated then you will be right

He clearly is the player with the dodgy hair transplant then looking at that photo

They all joined after his appointment as Head of Football Operations.

I think we’re guaranteed to stay above the 35% ‘this time’ irrespective of how few English minutes we have this season. However a low number this season and next would see us struggling so, as you alluded to, keeping these minutes as high as possible is crucial* * if we’re going to continue the ‘cheap foreigners’ model.

Gestede needed a pliable 'coach' back then and Eustace wasn't that. Eustace could put his foot down and got Weimann/Batth/McFadz and Cantwell by kicking off. Bet he was delighted when Derby took him off our hands - compensation AND an opportunity to bring in someone like Ismael who will put up with more of the nonsense without kicking off.

Gestede was still the tea boy at that point.

Funny seeing how Martin is already under pressure. All this 'playing the right way' guff won't matter if Rangers are 6-10 points behind Celtic by the end of September.

Who would you rather we had? Miyoshi or Baradji?

having listened to the fans forum minutes fiasco,i believe pasha is capable of such,he seems like a wounded animal and they are quite dangerous

That would be incredibly easy for now. It would still be best if we can keep it above 35% this year to help keep those slots free in future years.

Obviously just get him before he played, I'm just saying there's still a route. My guess though is we just couldn't agree a fee as our budget is too shit.

Could they really be trying to claim that the small chants of 'pasha out' was 'p#k&s out'!?

Turkish holiday?

Nope, you have still never explained the rationale for seven games at half 12 (the clubs wanting more cash is why the deal itself was signed, that’s not an explanation to the seven games at half 12, so please can you answer that directly and not do your usual routine of deflection and tangents).

Seems like keanesque bs to make the fans look bad The running of the club really does appear to have deteriorated enormously, right back to how it was in the kean/Anderson/pasha days Pasha the parasite out.

These are very different pieces. A lot more work involved in manufacturing these. I’m not exaggerating to say the quality is up there with Ralph Lauren Polo & GANT…👌 By way of comparison…

Notice is the least they can do. But it doesnt offset the inconvenience that the unjustifiable and inconsiderate decision to show SEVEN games at once at half 12 provides. Simple. Its greed that just feeds through the clubs and to players and agents. Clubs are still pissing money, ticket prices are no lower and the fans have the double kick in the bollocks of an unnecessarily high number of games moved.

Yes…yes…but who is going to be the guy driving from Sheffield to Clitheroe & back out of his own pocket to get 3 shirts embroidered…answer me that ! 😆

bit strange it`s suddenly news about this "chanting" 4 days after the game????????????? no one seems to have heard anything either

Celtic and rangers would be fighting relegation in the English premiership

You don’t think we are struggling? Ok right winger was our number one priority position agreed by val himself and majority of fans. Still none through the door and before you say the window is still open I am aware but ‘priority’ means it needs done first secondly we obviously are struggling as we have ‘HAD’ to offload a player to free up a slot we don’t obviously know but EJ reported rovers were interested one week before Bochum kicked off their season so they would (should) have known if he plays there was a likelihood the he wouldn’t automatically qualify the type of player we want chaddy is cheap let’s call a spade a spade here. All this talk of being an athletic powerful team is much much prefer players who can actually play football also

Be great if we could do

Al Sahafi hasn't moved as far as I'm aware. Is he the inevitable let down now we've carted Mafoumbi out the door

Sorry to come back to such a (relatively) old post. Re the bit in bold - the reference period for calculating the additional ESC places re percentage of EQP minutes is the previous three seasons (I only just picked up on this myself). Therefore, unless the rules change, we’d need to stay above 35% for 23-24,24-25 and this season combined to keep our entitlement to 4 places next year.
