Mr Ritchie

Tinpottery, a fine word closely linked to buffoonery

Paul Kerr

Chuckles got away with it and 6 mil in his pocket. The crown office would have been cheaper writing HMRC a cheque and taking over the club.

Samuel Hammond

Love a bit of Nouvelle Vague- great shout!

John Buchan

Does not seem to have recording of Micheal

stephen

Your Mols recording didn't work Colin....

Steve Clark

If you are playing that song it has to be the billy idol version

Gary Shaw

Colin,I’m with you on Shankland,he just doesn’t excite me and it’s nothing to do with Scottish snobbery but the irony in you saying you don’t think he could score in the big games V them slightly tickled me; he scored more in ONE game against them than our record European goalscorer did in 6 seasons against them and you can also throw popadom hips Roofe into that aswell.

Colin

Apologies not sure what’s happened there but the clip is here

Gary Shaw

You described Mikey Mols perfectly.,Colin,when you said explosive…I’ve only seen 2 players in my time following Rangers who I would describe as explosive/electric and that is Mols and Laudrup.

Gregg

I remember seeing Mols in a friendly against Livingston not long after he signed - I spent the night raving about him to all and sundry in the boozer. He cannae be that good was the common consensus. How wrong they were. He was absolutely electric. What a player. Mind there used to be hundreds of Utrecht fans at our home games - always had a wee soft spot for them. Sure there was a load of them in Eindhoven when big Jorg got his winner

John McCluskey

Your point about Shankland possibly only scoring against teams in the Scottish league. We have lost three league games already this season and I'm sure Shankland could have helped in those.

Gregg

On the out of contract players - we shouldn’t be rushing to judgement on any of them. Blank sheet of paper and all that - if any of them sign pre contracts elsewhere - so be it. If they want new deals they need to perform consistently till the end of May for me

Gary Shaw

My best mate is a bit of a football geek and he used to watch the Everdise highlights on Channel 5 at midnight on a school night and I remember him raving to me about this guy that plays for Utrecht and how he wished we could sign him but we wouldn’t be able to afford him coz he was that good 😂

Gary Shaw

Spot on,Gregg…if you were going on recent performances then Lundstram,Jack and Balogun would all be worthy of a shout but we’ve seen spurts and starts from these guys before….it needs to be another solid 6 months of those types of performances to even be considered.

Grant MacLean

Agree. Kris boyd done that. The problem is Rangers should’ve bought him from Ayr Utd, once he left there we need to pay over the odds.

Mark Boyd

Glad you’re not in charge of contract renewals and signings Colin 😂

Kev Roberts

Sign Shankland ASAP. But that's just my opinion

Craig

Was strange that Shankland never celebrated his goal at Ibrox.

Kev Roberts

On the contracts you were right. Thank you and bye bye

Jim McCutcheon

Thanks Colin appreciate your opinions 👍

Ryan Stevenson

Shankland is a Rangers fan and scores against Them, Hibs, Sheep and Us. And Georgia. He was the best player on the park against us at Ibrox a few weeks ago. Get him signed!

Callum

What’s the price range being touted for Shankland?

Jamie Derrick

Shankland would be better than Dessers just like Ferguson would have been better than Matondo & Doig would have been better than Ridvan

Scott McMillan

Shankland I would take in a heartbeat and having watched him in Europe with Hearts I believe he would surprise a lot with his quality, Spot on with out of contract players tbf

8luenose1872

Shankland would get a barrel load of chances for us and he can finish so u would have to think he would score a load too. I think he deserves a chance to prove himself but only if the price is right but u know hearts would rather lose him on a free than give him to us for a fair price.

David Innes

Lack of pace would expose him against top sides in Europe but as a low cost decent home grown squad player it’s a no brainer for me

8luenose1872

Colin its funny that you always bang on about the snobbery in regards to Scottish talent on quite a few pods but u have been just as guilty at that in regards to Shankland considering his goal stats and his hold up play is very good too. He was decent in Europe for hearts but can only be judged in higher European competitions with us if he got a chance. If u can finish chances like he can then I don't see any reason why he couldn't in Europe if we made him chances. He would still score a ton against the jobbers in our league and that would be worth its weight in gold when it comes to winning titles imo.

Gregg

Hickey would have been better than Barasic, McGinn would have been better than Lammers, Robertson would have been better than Flanagan. This game is quite easy

Jamie Derrick

Agree with Hickey all would have been achievable, being a bit silly with McGinn & Robertson to be fair

John Palmer

He wouldn't of got a shout from Ayr and would've got punted 1 - 2 yrs after signing. This is based on who was in charge at the time, players we already had, style of football getting played and the direction we were going.

Colin R

The time for Shankland was five years ago. We’d now have to spend millions to get someone turning thirty during his first contract with us. Let’s find the next Mols before someone else does.

Gregg

Think it’s all a bit silly pal - that was the point. We need to be better at scouting for sure but no one was desperate for us to sign Hickey, Doig, Ferguson et al and to say otherwise is revisionism

Jamie Derrick

Great Rangers teams over the years always singed players from other Scottish clubs, Body, Naismith, Canigga, Davie Robertson the list goes on. I was desperate for us to sign Ferguson but there was a lot of fans who said he wasn’t good enough, that’s aged well

Gregg

Yeah - Ferguson had really kicked on. Is that because of the training, better lifestyle, different style of play. Guess the sliding doors moment is do Hickey, Doig, Ferguson develop in the same way if they come to us. The time to get Ferguson was when he left Hamilton IMO. We should be taking these guys earlier and hoping to get 1/3, 1/4 of them working out. See Bailey Rice from Motherwell

Jamie Derrick

100% !!! under Smith, Mcleish and even Advocaat we signed the best from other Scottish teams, under Gerrard, Gio and Beale we haven’t and let’s be honest there has been some really questionable signing under the later

Darren Littlejohn

Could Connor Barron be an option to replace Jack?
