The new Rangers shirt. It's not bad.

For some reason I thought it reminded me of the 2010-11 top. Might just be me !!

I have one of the 2010-2011 shirts. I've worn Rangers shirts to Chelsea matches in the past. Once was in 2011 - and was probably this one - after my Dad passed away. Wore it in tribute to him.

Can just picture the conversation between a couple of Rangers supporters right now.

"Just heard Ancelotti is coming. YES, happy days, this is when the revolution starts! We're gonna win it All!"

"Erm, yeah, but it's Davide Ancelotti"

"Eh, you what?" Who the f*ck is Davide Ancelotti..........................?!!

Any idea how much they have paid for the 51% stake Boyne ?

Always liked Umbro designs. They tend not to piss about with stupid patterns and other over-designed elements of the shirt (see current Bournemouth, Brentford, Ipswich, West Ham shirts in the PL for example)

@Sexyfootball Not sure. Can't see a figure on the Rangers website. Hopefully the amount will be published soon.

We can only hope that a serious title challenge is around the corner.

Dear Rangers Supporters,

We are proud to be entering a new chapter for this extraordinary club. This moment is the result of months of thoughtful discussions with club leadership and our shared confidence in Rangers’ success going forward.

To that end we’d like to tell you a bit about our thinking.

Simply put – our goal is to win trophies in Scotland and be able to compete at a high level in Europe, while laying a foundation of financial sustainability for the future.

As our first step, we are investing fresh capital into Rangers, which will be strategically deployed on and off the pitch. While we recognise the importance of resources, we believe that thoughtful, disciplined investment, guided by a clear strategy, is the path to enduring success. Every decision, whether sporting or business, will be made with the club’s long-term success and sustainability in mind.

We aim to leverage the full strength of 49ers Enterprises’ sporting expertise and operational experience, and are confident in Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell to lead this next phase. Our first priority together is clear: hiring a new men’s Head Coach. That process is already well underway, and we look forward to sharing more updates soon. We will also look to invest in talent for our teams.

Moving forward, we are reconstituting the Board to bring in a few new voices and skill sets. We all owe a special thanks to the previous Board for their service. They stepped up in a difficult moment when the club needed them and laid the foundation for what comes next.

Above all, we know that true success comes from understanding and honouring what makes this club special. In our time getting to know Ibrox, Glasgow, and you, we’ve felt the pride, history, and passion that set Rangers apart. You have made it clear what this club means to you, and we take the responsibility of leading this club seriously.

We look forward to seeing you at Ibrox soon. For now, we’ll keep working, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead.

Yep. Hopefully buy a few players and appoint a manager soon. Need to get back to winning loads of trophies.

How are you Rangers chaps feeling about the appointment of Russell Martin as the new head coach ?

Personally felt Davide Ancelotti would’ve been a higher ceiling appointment but if Martin plays the same football he did at Southampton it will be really successful.

Obviously the biggest hurdle the new ownership has is identifying around 5-6 new first team signings.

I’ve already written off next season as a building block but for the first time in a decade or so, I’m feeling positive about the club.

I'm biased of course but I sense a shift in momentum in Scotland. With good work in the transfer market, Rangers could be a real force next season.
