Billy Gilmour would be a "win-win" for the Premiership leaders and Chelsea.Gilmour left the club back in 2017 aged just 15 and is highly thought of at Stamford Bridge, with past manager Frank Lampard a massive fan in particular.New boss Thomas Tuchel is yet to give him the same opportunities in southwest London but the midfielder did make his first matchday squad under the German on Sunday night against Sheffield United.Gilmour was linked with a loan move back across the border at the end of the January but Steven Gerrard played down those claims and in any case the 19-year-old didn't go anywhere.But Laudrup is still intrigued by the link for next season - insisting Rangers will have another edge with the possibility of Champions League

Rangers after an abject draw with Hamilton.The Premiership champions elect were well below par in Lanarkshire and had goalkeeper Allan McGregor to thank for saving a point.Manager Steven Gerrard laid into his team after the match, and Caldwell believes that the 21-point gap at the top may have relaxed some minds.With a European clash with Royal Antwerp looming though, Rangers will have to snap out of it quickly. Caldwell said on Football Pass: "I think actually the Europa League starting back up again could be a good thing to focus the minds again and get them into a different competition where they have to be at their best.

Steven Gerrard must convince Allan McGregor to extend his deal with Rangers or risk paying out an "absolute fortune" in a replacement claims Barry Ferguson.The veteran goalkeeper is out of contract at Ibrox this summer and could cement his place as a Light Blues legend by bringing the Premiership trophy back to Govan.However, former teammate Ferguson believes it is vital that gaffer Gerrard can convince the 39-year-old to remain with the club for another season.Ferguson reckons McGregor has only got better with age and will only continue to improve after his heroics against Hamilton.“I hope he doesn’t decide to call it a day at the end of the season," he told the Go Radio Football Show."I know he’s 39 now but he looks to me as fit as he’s

Kris Boyd insists Rangers players must use their disappointing display against Hamilton as a wake up call for the Premiership title run-in.Brian Easton's own goal had put the visitors ahead going into injury time, before Ross Callachan got a deserved last-gasp leveller as Steven Gerrard's side dropped Premiership points for only the fourth time this season.Allan McGregor was left fuming after the full-time whistle with the performance in Lanarkshire, and Boyd told Sky Sports he could understand why his former teammate dubbed the performance "rubbish".The pundit believes the dressing room would have been all ears to McGregor's post-match blast and must take the criticism on board.Boyd said: "That's what Allan is, he's a winner, and he wants

SFA’s car crash of a compliance process.The clattering furore caused by the lamentable let’s-make-it-up-as-we-go-along handling of incidents involving Alfredo Morelos, Darren McGregor, Scott Brown and Albian Ajeti may have drowned out the message or at least distracted attention away from its significance.But, nonetheless, something Steven Gerrard said in passing last week, when he called for a greater level of consistency from those inside Hampden’s nerve centre, struck straight to the heart of his own blossoming as a Rangers manager.“I think as a club it’s something we’ve spoken about in great detail.

Rangers player has been dropped.

Kris Commons says Rangers were "going through the motions" against Hamilton on Sunday as they fell to a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw.And he reckons Steven Gerrard won't tolerate his players going on autopilot for the Premiership run-in.With 10 top-flight games remaining the gap is back to 21 points between the Ibrox side and rivals Celtic, who have two games in hand.And while that cushion is enough to ensure the two dropped points in Lanarkshire at the weekend wasn't a catastrophe, Commons insists it was a telltale sign of complacency and a team that already think the title is in the bag.Speaking in his Daily Mail column, Commons said: "They are so far ahead of Celtic that, even when they do have a bad day, they've got a massive safety

Jurgen Klopp should be fired.The Premier League champions were beaten 4-1 by Manchester City on Sunday, a result that leaves them 10 points off the top having played a game more.With Rangers cruising to the Premiership title Gerrard's stock has never been higher and it's no secret that he wants to manage his beloved Liverpool one day.According to one fan on talkSPORT though the Anfield legend should up sticks immediately to replace Klopp.Caller David said: "I've found out the German word for leave, it's 'verlassen'."That means that I want Jurgen Klopp to leave."Listen to my reasons: do you remember when, with Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool lost 6-1 away to Stoke City?"Now, Liverpool this season, have had two terrible defeats: the 7-2 to Aston

Allan McGregor for his vital saves at crucial times but perhaps even more for his furious will to win.In previous seasons there have been questions over the mentality of Steven Gerrard's squad, with many supporters insisting they don't have the grit required to go all the way.That's changed dramatically this season and, with a 21 point lead at the top, it's only a matter of time until Rangers end the long wait for a Premiership title.Their veteran goalkeeper is in no mood to let standards slip though as he proved after a drab draw with Hamilton.McGregor kept the visitors in the game in Lanarkshire before a Brian Easton own goal appeared to give them all three points.Accies grabbed an equaliser with the last kick of the game though and the

Rangers were fortunate to escape Hamilton with a draw.The Ibrox men turned in their poorest Premiership performance of the campaign as Ross Callachan's late leveller earned a deserved point for bottom side Accies.Brian Easton's own goal put the visitors in front at the Fountain of Youth Stadium but Rangers owed their lead to a string of Allan McGregor saves.A visibly frustrated Gerrard, who confirmed the club will appeal Kemar Roofe's two-match ban, confessed his team "deserved nothing".He told Sky Sports: "Disappointed with the all-round performance."But I should be happy really, to take a point from this game, because we didn't deserve anything."Credit to Hamilton, they really got in amongst us today, stopped us playing our normal game,

Rangers can lift the league earlier than any other side in modern history with a win in each of their next six games, Hamilton face a much less certain path to their own utopia - avoiding relegation.The Accies are four points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership but will at least be buoyed ahead of today's game that their relegation rivals all lost on Saturday.Brian Rice's men face an incredibly tough afternoon against a side that smashed them 8-0 in their last encounter at Ibrox.

Rangers' style of play is simplicity of message. The former Liverpool and Chelsea coaching guru has overseen, alongside his manager Steven Gerrard, a steady evolution of Rangers' play since they arrived at the club in 2018 and while personnel has changed considerably, the basic principles they established early on are relatively unchanged.Beale readily admits that everything he does on the training field is always centred on the manager's streamlined idea of how the game should be played.And that is boiled down to three simple rules centred on dominating the space on the field, retaining possession and being aggressive in both boxes.

Ally McCoist over recent refereeing decisions.Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard called for greater consistency after Alfredo Morelos was hit with a retrospective ban for stamping on Ryan Porteous of Hibs.Since then Celtic striker Albian Ajeti has been cited for an alleged dive in the win over Kilmarnock, while Kemar Roofe could be banned for a challenge against St Johnstone.Sutton said on BT Sport's Scottish Football Extra: "With the Roofe stuff I thought there was a mistimed challenge."Look, was there any malice in it? You rob a bank for the first time but it was a poor challenge, I thought it was a red card and I think Scott Brown was a yellow card."But for Rangers to get involved once again...

Steven Gerrard 's side enjoying a campaign to remember due to a whole host of reasons. The Ibrox side are now in season three under the Liverpool icon's tutelage as they sit 23 points ahead of Celtic and in the last 32 of the Europa League.
