Celtic increased the gap in quality between the 2 sides by bringing in 5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Point of order but we sold a WC semi-finalist and last season's top scorer (albeit bringing in £14m allegedly?) as well as letting 5 other marginals go out or extend their loan.
Get Lundstrum out. Nothing good about that guy and you might get £500k.
Get rid of McLaughlin and let mccrorie establish himself as number 2 goalie.
According to Ibrox Noise, Alfie has agreed to go to Sevilla.
As an aside, cracking FK from Jura last night.

Too late, only three tims and timmy on it because most bears are still hibernating. Could all change this weekend right enough.

Ibrox Noise is a load of mince. Though Alfie could well leave.
There's no way I'd get rid of good players like Lundstram, Kamara and Barisic- unless we get decent offers for them (which I doubt we will).
I guess we'll bring in a goalie.
Tbf Sevilla could be going down this season so Morelos might be exactly the level and type of player they'll need to sign for next season.
Reckon Morelos is away and that’s one of the reasons Colak is starting. On that basis, I’d assume Kent would be staying.
Jack will get a new contract as well.
Kamara might leave-think lauders has said he was keen to go last summer. Lundstrum might go-problem would be a team willing to pay a fee and then match his wages which are supposed to be quite high.
Surely McGregor will chuck it this summer as well?!
Not convinced Tillman will attract a bid from you-Cantwell has his role just now and was Lawrence not a similar position there as well? Enough options there.
55 was a blip, you went from shipping schite points to not losing a game, having mclaughlin go on a clean sheet spree, and morelos scoring against celtic.
that season worked really well for rangers, the pressure from their fans off their backs really agreed with them, celtic on the other hand employed a useless hobo to take us through the most important season in decades.

How'd that approach go with Kent & Buff?
How'd that approach go with Goldson that you ended up having to pay him £37kpw to sign on?
Keepers
McGregor - Times up
McLaughlin - Possibly allow him to continue as second/third choice until his contract runs out but move on if we can.
McCrorie - Got to feel he should have been given a chance by now if he was up to it so it's probably a case of get him moved on for his own benefit.
Going to need 2 new ones.
LB
Barasic / Yilmaz. Happy to keep both unless we can recoup our money for the young turk. Think he showed he's a talent but we've not seen anywhere near enough.
CB
Goldson/Davies - Keep
Souttar - Forced to keep because of his contract and nobody else will pay for him. Still think he can be a good player with luck on his side.
Helander - Thanks but way too many injuries.
King - I have not seen the talent to be honest, needs a loan.
We will need another 2 in.
RB
Tavernier/Devine
Will do again next season.
CM
Davis - Don't let the warm and fuzzy feelings get in the way. No new deal.
Jack - Rolling deal, worth keeping but don't leave ourselves open to him breaking down.
Lundstram - Would love to move him on, bar some Europa performances he's been schite.
Kamara - I prefer to Lundstram but happy enough to sell him. I don't think he's worth more than a couple of million now, his stock has fallen a lot.
Raskin - Keep.
Cantwell - Keep
Ofobohr - Retire please.
Arfield - Can't make up my mind, for the dressing room i'd probably give him a year.
Area that needs the most work, i'm expecting at least 2 new in.
Attacking midfielders
Kent - New deal if he's willing.
Wright - No rush to move him on imo, decent 5th choice winger. Usually does alright when he comes on.
Lawrence - Our best player under Gio this season. Looking forward to having him back.
Lowry - I'm baffled at what our plan is for him. I would loan him next season because he needs to play regularly
Hagi - Important player once he's fit.
Tillman - I change my mind every few weeks, fook knows Clearly a talent in a position we're stacked in for money we probably need to spend elsewhere.
Matondo - The man that should in truth bring Wilson down with him. The worst peace of business he's done. Total pash, would agree a mutual termination unless someone is stupid enough to buy him.
Need 2 or 3 in.
Strikers
Morelos - No new deal, goodbye you fat bastirt but also thanks for that 18 months you were only a chubby bastirt.
Roofe - Nobody going to buy him. Lets hope he gets more fit days than not next season because he's the best we have when he's fit.
Colak - Keep but we need someone to come in and be first choice.
Need 1 in.
I make that we need at least 9 players.
I missed Sakala.
Keep but he needs to continue improving quickly if he's to be starting next season. Either way good squad option.

Wilson needs to get onto Casper, he will tie him down.
Was gonna say 9 feels ambitious when I counted up Ange's first summer which was 14 in albeit some were development punts almost certainly decided by others.

BTW, 17 shipped out that same window
9 probably is ambitious but it will need to get close to that.
I don't imagine the club will be looking to get rid of Lundstram for example, many fans would but they won't be. Also think they will give Davis another year on much reduced terms out of a sense of loyalty.
Probably only thinking about 1 keeper as well if i'm honest. They will be content to have a new no1 and Mclaughlin and McCrorie behind him, i won't be but they will.
Would have expected to see a couple of pre-contracts done by now if we were to be getting close to 9.
Much though I like Davis I'd be surprised if he's given another playing contract.
I don't see us signing as many as 9 players. Closer to 4 I reckon.
Roofe out for the rest of the season after a hip operation.
From that list, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't bring in any more CBs. The club will be happy with Goldson & Davies as first choice with Souttar and King as backup, though I would agree I'd rather see King get a loan at a good level. I think we'll see some turnover in midfield but probably only one transfer in for an experienced holding player on a free transfer. We may see Matondo moved on and a replacement brought in, or maybe more onus on Lowry to step up. The club may be happy with Sakala on the left and Hagi on the right and no direct replacement for Kent, though I think that leaves us very light on proven talent. Expect a new forward to replace Morelos.
