We need to sign at least 2 or 3 players who were brought up as Rangers fans and who know what we stand for. We totally messed up with missing out on Lewis Ferguson . He was desperate to sign for us. Shankland is another . There must be a few more Scottish players that are good enough for us rather than repeatedly signing a host of foreign and English duds who we pay silly wages. Players with a year left on their contracts should be sold or their contracts extended if they are deemed good enough. We cannot let players run down their contracts and leave for nothing. Prime examples are Morelos, Kent, Barisic, Lundstram, Roofe.

Any suggestions?
 
This is ground zero and this close season Ibrox will see a massive clear out of personnel.
Next season is the resurrection and the foundations shall be put in place to ensure our return to dominant status.
 
We simply.need to be in a better place this time next season. I don't know how much longer my mental health can sustain this every year.

There are more players in their team that grew up supporting us than there is in our team

Miovski needs to be signed. Don’t care what the sheep want - get it done

We should also take Armstrong from Killie and bring back Patterson from Everton

The young boy Watson from Kilmarnock has more scope to be a success than Armstrong

Players of the correct age who have been brought up rangers fans will only ever remember mediocre standards.

What we need is a FOUR excellent players to re-establish the spine of the team.

1. A commanding and nasty CB who has good concentration and can head the ball.
2. A classy CM who can take the ball on the half turn with both feet and make the team tick.
3. A tricksy winger who likes getting to the byline and also scores goals
4. A clinical and pacey striker.

Not sure you find any of the above in Scotland, let alone rangers fans. We obviously need more signings but this is where the money should be spent.

We don’t need any Rangers fans in the team.

We need 11 winners.

I’d settle for 11 Africans if it meant turning those 19th Century Terrorist bastards over.

We need players who understand or learn quickly what Rangers identity means and live up to it on the pitch. Foreigners who buy into our club's standards, values and culture like Albertz, Novo, Prso, Numan, De Boer, Amoruso and so on show it is possible but generally speaking foreign imports are not the players at the core of the squad's success. The foreign guys who succeed here are normally top players - reliable, dependable and game changers.

With that in mind every one of our successful managers have signed players that shape the identity and most of the time that does include the traditional 'Rangers men' and Scottish players who didn't grow up supporting but have the will to win for us.

Souness brought in guys who like him would run through brick walls to win like Butcher, Woods, Roberts, Gough, Bomber, Ian Ferguson in following seasons.

Walter in his first stint signed Goram, Davie Robertson and McCall to add to the established squad of winners. After taking over from PLG he signed Weir and Thomson in that window which helped bring back some identity to the team followed up by, McCulloch, Whittaker, Naismith and Davis.

McLeish did it with Alex Rae and Barry Ferguson although those were in his second season after signing too many duds in the first season.

Gerrard's signings when he took over, McGregor, Arfield, Davis helped restore our identity.

Even with vastly inferior players in 2016 under Warburton we as a Championship side managed to beat the mhanks at Hampden with Miller, Halliday, Shiels, Wallace, Holt at the core of our line up.

I said it last night, the names are in bold, in their prime, would walk into this team. They might not have won everything going and probably took a few doings as well, but they would never tolerate regular cowardly capitulations like any of the ones we've seen against them in recent years. They showed them the contempt they deserved.

If it is how magnificent bastards like Steven Gerrard, Alex McLeish, Walter Smith and Graeme Souness have brought us success, it is clearly something Clement needs to think about.
