From pressure and questions to back-to-back Old Firm victories There was a point, not all that long ago, when Derek McInnes’ Rangers tenure looked like it was heading in a very different direction. The questions were coming thick and fast. The performances weren’t convincing, results weren’t coming consistently and the European exit to Jablonec only increased the pressure. After just two wins in seven matches, McInnes was under serious scrutiny and Rangers supporters were ent

It is widely regarded in high performance that there are "four pillars" of performance that link to enable a team to function at it it's best level, these being: TECHNICAL: An individual players ability to carry out key skills to a high level under pressure. These skills include shooting, tackling, dribbling, passing, first touch/ball control. TACTICAL: Both the coach/manager (in Derek McInnes's case manager) and players ability to have a strategic understanding of formations

For far too long, Rangers have looked like a team of individuals. Season after season, we heard about leadership groups. Four or five players were placed into positions of responsibility, expected to provide the experience, character and mentality required to lead the rest of the squad. Then, when things went wrong, Rangers would often fall back into the same old habits. Heads would drop. Players would become isolated. The responsibility seemed to fall on the same individuals

Eight days after the closure of the summer transfer window, the following summary can be deduced: -14 players have been joined the club. -14 players have left the club. -The net spend amounts to £21.9m. There is nothing dull at Rangers FC, it was then announced that technical director Dan Purdy has 'stepped down' from his position. It was however announced that 'Dan will continue to work with the club's ownership group, supporting the transition and other football projects'.

Rangers: Maybe It’s Finally Time to Stop Hitting the Panic Button For far too long now, Rangers Football Club has been stuck in a cycle. New manager. New players. New promises. New beginnings. And then, sooner or later, the same old problems return. For around 15 years, there has been far too much failure, disappointment and frustration at Ibrox. Managers have come and gone, squads have been rebuilt time and time again, and supporters have repeatedly been told that this time

Déjà Vu at Rangers: Another Season, Another Mess — But How Many Times Can This Club Keep Getting It Wrong? There is a feeling around Rangers Football Club right now that is becoming all too familiar. It is frustration. It is anger. It is disappointment. But above all, it is a feeling of déjà vu. Another season has barely begun and Rangers already find themselves staring at another crisis. Another campaign where expectations were high. Another summer where money was spent. Ano

Organised Chaos: And time is running out for Rangers to resolve it Another poor result. Another performance that leaves more questions than answers. And, already, Rangers are staring at what can only be described as an awful start to the season. McInnes was brought in to give Rangers organisation, structure and resilience. We haven't seen enough of any of those things. Instead, we are watching a team that looks unsure of what it is trying to do, while some of the in-game deci

At the time of writing Rangers have played one of their seven August fixtures which abridge three different competitions (as per graphic above). The SPL Transfer Window closes on Thursday September 3rd, but this does not put on hold the games coming thick and fast as the recruitment team attempt to offload players as well as bringing in new players (the Falkirk away SPL game the previous day should also be taken into account). So what is at stake for Rangers across the three

Thelo Aasgaard arrived at Rangers from Luton Town in July 2025 for a reported £3.5 million. Being a Norwegian international there were high hopes for this signing. His introductory video upon signing started off with the hammer of Norse God Thor. If his talents were anywhere near as good as legendary Thor's powers then the Rangers fans would certainly be in for a treat. Unfortunately Thelo's first season at Ibrox was not the greatest as he quite often blew hot and cold. Playi

A New Season. New Hope. New Dreams. There is something special about the start of a new football season. Every supporter begins with renewed hope, fresh optimism and the belief that this could be the year that creates memories to last a lifetime. For Rangers, a new campaign brings a fresh chapter. New faces have arrived, new challenges lie ahead, and everyone connected with the club shares the same ambition – to see Rangers competing for every trophy available. We would like

SATURDAY 26th JULY: Arrived at London Stansted mid morning, it was evident early that there were a lot of West Ham United fans around ready to fly out for the weekend. Wearing my Rangers tee I immediately struck up conversation over the amber nectar and the supporters were explaining that they were really looking forward to a couple of nights out in Glasgow, and as well as supporting there team experiencing the Ibrox match day experience. They were a great bunch of lads and e

A New Era Begins Under the Ibrox Lights Tonight, Rangers welcome Saint-Étienne to Ibrox in what is officially just a pre-season friendly. There are no league points on offer, no silverware to be won, and in the grand scheme of the season the result will soon be forgotten. But make no mistake—this is a night that means so much more than football. For Derek McInnes, this is the moment he has dreamed about for a lifetime. Growing up as a Rangers supporter, like so many others, h

At the conclusion of last season, Andrew Cavanagh mentioned that our transfer strategy would shift. Moving forward, we aim to recruit players who are Scottish or have experience in the SPFL. So far, we've welcomed Lawrence Shankland, Ross McRorie, and Cammy Devlin, who fit the profile Mr. Cavanagh described. We've also been linked to players like James Penrice and Lewis Ferguson. Whether these signings will happen is still uncertain. In previous successful periods, such as un

THE MIDFIELD PUZZLE SEASON 2026-2027 THE MIDFIELD PUZZLE: At the end of the last season there was always going to be a root and branch review following the post-split implosion losing four of the five games. Although there are glaring areas for attention within the squad such as left back, centre back and wings (right in particular), it is the midfield that seems to have gained the attention of the pitchfork. Although there was clear talent in midfield last season the playe

Few football clubs in world football can boast a connection as deep, as passionate, and as enduring as the bond between Rangers Football Club and the people of Ulster. It is a relationship built over generations, strengthened by legendary players, unwavering supporters, and a shared football culture that continues to thrive today. From the earliest days of Rangers, Northern Ireland has produced players who left an unforgettable mark on the club. One of the greatest was Billy

‘UNDER PRESSURE, YOU DON’T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF YOUR TRAINING, YOU SINK TO THE LEVEL OF YOUR TRAINING’ The above quote is often attributed to branches of the Special Forces, and particularly the US Navy Seals. In broad terms if your training is designed and exceeds the pressure that you may incur in various events then when they do occur, you are well prepared to deal with them with a successful conclusion reached. A team that is physically prepared can not only cope with the
