Excuse the source but it's a direct quote from Simon Jordan within it i'm more interested in.
Jordan told talkSPORT: "I hear rumours that Rangers have a fighting fund, which is quite a significant fighting fund. Raised from a source I'm not going to discuss too freely. They have got quite a significant amount of money to back Gerrard."
Anyone know anything about this? Who the backers are/could be?
How much have we actually spent this summer.
Barasic - 2.2m
Goldson - 3m
Katic - 2m
Murphy - 1m
Flanagan - Free
McGregor - Free
Arfield - Free
Sadiq - Loan
Ejaria - Loan
Kent - Loan
Coulibaly - Loan
So 8.2m spent so far on new players, plus decent wages for the guys arriving on frees. We spent about 10m last summer, so if what Jordan is saying is close to the mark we should still have a decent amount of cash left to invest which is promising.
You would expect minimum 2 further signings, one at CB and one at CF. Realistically we need 2 CB's for the squad though or for McCrorie or one of the youths to cover there.

I just dropped a big Larry earlier. It was Abraham.
And a Lillian obviously followed.

That Simon Jordan guy knows his stuff, usually spot on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
He added: "I don't see a universe where Rangers are going to go past Celtic in the next two or three years.
"His job (Gerrard), his sole function in life is to get Rangers above Celtic and at the end of the day, I don't think he's got a chance to do it. They are not just far behind Celtic, they are miles behind Celtic.
"Brendan Rodgers will see him off every day of the week and twice on Sunday."
