Rangers has been told that they have to listen to offers for Nicolas Raskin and not be open to losing another great talent for much less than his market value.
Former Ibrox -midfielder Andy Halliday, who has just written a new contract at Motherwell, has witnessed how important Raskin has become for the light blues and knows why supporters want to bring him down on a new deal.
The 24-year-old Belgium International has two years left to its current contract and Rangers bosses will have a big decision to take this summer in his future in terms of securing its value with a long-term agreement or opening itself for a sale.
Halliday suspects that there will be interested parties that sniff around Raskin and believes that his old club should be open for conversations about a transfer after years of rejecting multi-million offers for people such as Alfredo Morelos and Ryan knows and they walk away for free at the end of their deals.
“Rangers have found a way to hold their assets earlier, up to the point that they will not receive compensation for them – or certainly not demand compensation for them who were their (value) ever,” Halliday said.
'I don't think there is something wrong with dangling the carrot by offering Nico Raskin a long -term contract, but I don't think it's one where your offers should avoid.
“If you can get the type of reimbursement that you can order for a man who has just made his Belgium debut and received a man-of-the-match in that game, you should be willing to listen to those offers with how big transition we expect in the Rangers team.”
Halliday is an admirer of Raskin and thought he was one of the striking artists of Rangers in the 1-1-old company-equal play of the weekend at Ibrox.
“I thought Raskin was excellent again,” Halliday told Radio Clyde. 'When Rangers could not get control in the game, he stamped his authority everywhere with the amount of interceptions he won, the amount of turnover he forced, the number of times he rode Rangers on the field.
'Because we are at the bottom of the diamond, we will say that he has placed himself in so many advanced areas. He actually had the most photos for Rangers individually. He was a player who just showed his character to try things to happen. '
Union Bears will print in the battle for Tifo
Ultras Group Union Bears are on a collision course with Ranger's management-after the launch of a special T-shirt with the controversial Tifo of the weekend with former Graeme Souness manager swinging with a hunting gun.
The IBROX sign reacted angry with the pre-match display prior to the 1-1 old firm collision on Sunday-with a photo of Souness that looked along the barrel of a gun from a photo shoot that was performed during the World Cup 1982 In addition to the message 'Take Aarg to The Rebel Scum' and the Project for Specials Projects for Targeted Projects.
Despite the fact that club bosses are the Souness Tifo 'unacceptable', Union Bears have doubled by selling T-shirts with the artwork and the inflammatory slogan on their website for £ 20.
The group of the fans had previously issued a message on social media with regard to the £ 5300 costs of the TIFO with the words 'National Meltdown – Priceless'.
Rangers have sworn in the future to take a stronger line on pre-match displays and it is unlikely that they are impressed by the attitude of the Union Bears section of the Copland stand.
In the aftermath of the old industrial game, a club spokesperson said: 'We acknowledge that the Tifo was exceeded and unacceptable prior to the kick -off.
'Our approach to supporter displays is always built on trust, with the responsibility placed on groups to practice a good judgment.
'We will think about how these displays are managed and dealing with supporter groups to ensure the right balance between trust, responsibility and supervision will be maintained in the future. Rangers is proud of his passionate fan base and we all share a duty to protect the standards and reputation of our club. '
Danilo must prove that he is well spent
Two years ago this month Danilo was a title winner under Arne Slot, when Feyenoord celebrated to become Dutch champions for the second time this century.
Only two months later he was signed the head of Michael Beale of a busy summer with a relocation of £ 6 million to Ibrox and lucrative five -year contract.
On Sunday, the recruitment errors of Rangers were never clearer than when the Brazilian entered the fight of a boring old company Derby as a 93rd minute replacement.
How is such a controversial arrival allowed to stagnate alarmingly?
Of course, injury played an important role. The first season of the striker in the club was first decimated by a broken cheekbone and then, more seriously, by a knee injury that teased him for almost a year and needed two operations.
With the exception of a shoulder problem in which he would miss about a month at the beginning of this year, Danilo is suitable for most of this season, but has largely played the third violin for Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane.
When he returned to the photo of the first team at the beginning of November, he relieved his way back to Peak Fitness and a spell of four goals in six matches finished by his first old strike in the 3-0 win at home in Celtic in January. It suggested that Rangers fans were finally about to enjoy the elite player they were promised.
However, Danilo has not found the net since then and has returned from that little shoulder setback on time to appear in the last match of Philippe Clement, the 2-0 home defeat against St Mirren.
Since the arrival of interim boss Barry Ferguson, who has admitted that his training regime might not be to the taste of the Brazilian, Danilo has only started once. That was when he was addicted with Rangers on Aberdeen with 2-0 on Pittodrie during the break.
His wink-and-you-to-it-all the old sturdy cameee in a competition where the Ibrox side screamed for the attacking Endeavour simply felt like the ultimate indignation and an unsatisfactory second season.
With three years left on his deal, and at a peak age of 26 for a man in his position, Rangers -fans can still see the best of Danilo under the next regime, who can be.
To be honest, they have to do that. Danilo is the fourth highest earner of the team on a reported £ 26,000 a week. With that type of money that has been invested in him, a greater contribution to the cause is an absolute non-negotiable.
Potter determined to maintain the pressure on title fight
Jo Potter says that her Rangers team will continue to push 'until the last second' if the title race goes into his last piece.
After two consecutive competitions, a 6-0 thrashing from Motherwell on Sunday, when Katie Wilkinson scored five of the goals, their hope kept alive.
With three games left, Rangers are five points behind leaders Hibs, but the side of Edinburgh are due to Ibrox on the last day of the season.
For that competition per week on Sunday, Potter's side are gone to Celtic this weekend and on Wednesday. It is a tight schedule that leaves no room for errors.
While Rangers are the outsiders in a three -way race that also includes second place in Glasgow City, Potter is encouraged by the extensive triumph of her team in Broadwood on Sunday.
“I asked the players to get on and out and give a better performance than we did,” she said. “We needed it and we should use that to start.
“We have to try to win every game where we go and we have to keep the pressure and keep pushing until the last second.”
It is an exciting two weeks for Rangers, who also have a Scottish Cup final against Glasgow City to look forward to. They have already won the Sky Sports Cup this season.
Although a Treble may turn out to be outside them, Rangers could do with at least one trophy to show for their efforts. They certainly tried it, both individual and collective.
Laura Berry's contribution was recognized on Sunday evening when she was named PFA Scotland SWPL Young Player of the Year. The 17-year-old attacker has been impressive for the Potter team since he returned to the club after a loan in Motherwell.
Old sturdy collision is just too tame for super ally
Ally McCoist played well from the discipline count in Sunday in Ibrox's derby, who did not maintain the proud tradition of the luminaire of Onvelderijen.
While the former Rangers manager and striker does not argue for the entire war, he expects a little more passion of the most explosive meeting of the game.
While the current Rangers, Barry Ferguson, was booked for an eruption of the touchline, the only yellow on the field was late for Bailey Rice and Johnny Kelly, the last to kick the ball away.
“I don't want to talk about it,” McCoist joked. “I was embarrassed. By the way, here is the best of it. The two boys who were booked were teenagers and they were replacements!
'[For] The older generation, that is the greatest shame that the old company has had! '
This is all good knockouts of McCoist, but he has not appointed that a shortage of bookings in games between Celtic and Rangers is no longer unusual.
In fact, it becomes commonplace. In each of the last four seasons there has been at least one game between them who produced only two yellow.
Others have had three or four. Only the cup final, when more is at stake, have fulfilled the increased story of the hype by TV companies.
Even shipments are hard to find these days. In three of the last four seasons there have been no red cards in one of the games between the two Glasgow clubs.
Whether that is healthy is that people like McCoist debate, but one thing is certain: the old company Derby is not entirely the horror show it used to be.
