Morelos' Rangers transfer value as Commons makes Celtic Edouard comparison (unknown)

The Colombian international has been in brilliant form since the arrival of Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Morelos is now under the guidance of a man who was among the very best strikers in the business. Van Bronckhorst and Makaay both speak fluent Spanish, something which is bound to be a big help to Morelos. "Van Bronckhorst spent four years at Barcelona, whilst Makaay was a goalscoring machine at Deportivo La Coruna before getting his big move to Bayern Munich. "Particularly in the case of Makaay, I think his influence on Morelos has been massive. "He is playing much higher up the pitch now as a genuine No 9, rather than the deeper role he played under Gerrard. "He also looks much fitter and more focused than the player who had appeared so disillusioned and disinterested towards the end of the Gerrard reign. The Hoops netted £14m for the Frenchman and Commons predicts Rangers will net a similar fee for Morelos - if he doesn't sign a new deal at Ibrox. "Even with just a year left on his contract, he could attract a big-money bid from abroad or down south in the summer," Commons wrote in his Daily Mail column. "He might even commit himself to a new deal if he feels like sticking around at Ibrox under Van Bronckhorst. Winning the title and getting into the Champions League will be key to that. With just 12 months left to go on his contract last summer, Odsonne Edouard was in the same position and Celtic sold him for £14m. "That's the sort of money Rangers could be looking at if Morelos maintains this form, which is a hell of a lot more than they looked like they would get for him just a few months ago.

Hotline caller claims Celtic fans can't admit to how good Rangers really are (unknown)

It's another less than Happy Monday for our officials as Hotline callers take aim. Fraser Wilson mans the phones.

When VAR is introduced it's only a matter of time before an Old firm fan will try to go to court as they will claim to have video evidence that their team has been cheated.” Rangers have one foot firmly in the Europa League quarter final but they shouldn’t treat Red Star lightly even if they have a 3-0 advantage heading to the Marakana. That’s the warning from our resident Hotline doctor who claims to have inside knowledge of the Serbs. Dr Robert S Pender emailed: “Having lived and worked in Belgrade and treated Red Star players, the task for Rangers will be huge. Raheem sterling done exactly the same until referees sussed him out and I am fed up of Rangers supporters paranoia when fans of every club in Scotland agree they benefit the most from referee mistakes.” And Gordon Ashley, Ayr, said: “Who are Rangers fans trying to kid with their comments over Ryan Kent’s latest blatant dive against Red Star? It’s time our referees woke up to this as he is almost certain to try this con act in the games against Celtic in the title run in.” Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “Rangers fans asking for VAR is just hilarious it wouldn’t be a week till they were moaning about the VAR officials are against them. Rangers FCRed Star claim Gio van Bronckhorst made private Rangers admission after mammoth Europa League winStankovic appeared to snub van Bronckhorst's offer of a handshake at full time but has revealed the pair chatted after the match. Rangers must come out of the blocks fast to nullify Red Star. No matter what Rangers do the support will not be silenced.” Finally, John Scott, Grassmoor, hit out at the Hibs thugs who marred Sunday’s Scottish Cup win at Motherwell by smashing up seats in the away end. And John said: “In a week when our supporters were lauded for their financial efforts towards Ukraine, about a dozen immature clowns tried to undo that good work with their pathetic behaviour at Motherwell. Way to go lads, you must be so proud of yourselves. Unbelievable. Those who say Celtic get all the breaks should be hiding their faces in shame.” But Joe Smith, Coleraine, said: “Looks like the referees have unanimously voted to allow all opposition players to kick lumps out of Rangers players without getting a booking. Rangers are good in Europe because their opponents play football and not the 10 in defence guff we get in Scotland most weeks and we get proper refereeing decisions.” But Ian Melrose, Edinburgh, claimed: “I warned people on the Hotline about the Ryan Kent ‘flick-kick trick’ when Hibs were mugged by the same means when he deliberately ran into Ryan Porteous’ foot. What a difference to watch Rangers playing in Europe with honest referees.” George Wilson, West Sussex, said: “It’s been comical but pathetic the way Celtic supporters, ex-players and pundits have tried to diminish Rangers’ excellent performances in Europe. If you foul an opponent in the penalty box or commit handball it’s a penalty. They might as well sell James Tavernier because there won’t be any penalties for him to take.” Dave Andrews, Coatbridge, added: “VAR will not solve the problem. Well think again, with half the callers still arguing over the video assistants’ decision to award a penalty when Ryan Kent went down in the Ibrox side’s Europa League win over Red Star last week. Rangers are nearing the last eight of the Europa League Another Monday, another round of bickering over referee decisions on the Hotline. Rangers ’ spot kick award in Sunday’s 3-0 Scottish Cup win at Dundee, after James Tavernier was bundled over by Ryan Sweeney, sparked the latest round of official strife. John Caw kicked us off when he emailed: “Watching the Rangers game against Dundee, my son jokingly said ‘here’s the penalty coming’. I couldn’t believe my eyes when Steven McLean pointed to the spot.

Northern Ireland boss expects Steven Davis to keep playing for club and country (unknown)

The 37-year-old hasn't featured for Gio van Bronckhorst in a month but has been called up by his national team.

"At Rangers with the new manager coming and the fact they're winning games of football he's found it difficult to get a regular game at the moment but he's looking forward to coming in." "He's looking forward to the two games, looking forward to June. He's looking forward to meeting up with the guys and being part of the squad." Baraclough said: "He's had a couple of setbacks, a small calf issue and thigh issue, but I've not been told he won't be fit for us come next week."

Red Star claim van Bronckhorst told them a draw would have been a fair score (unknown)

Dejan Stankovic claims Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst told him a draw would have been a fair scoreline in the first Europa League first leg.

Stankovic appeared to snub van Bronckhorst's offer of a handshake at full time as he stormed down the Ibrox tunnel, but the former Inter Milan and Lazio star revealed they chatted after the game. "I want to show Rangers just how the Marakana thunders and how difficult it can be to play there. He said: "I spoke to Giovanni van Bronckhorst after the match and he said himself that when you look at the scoreline, 3-0 was a great victory for them.

Goldson helps Rangers brush aside Dundee to reach Scottish Cup last four (unknown)

Goals from Connor Goldson, James Tavernier and Fashion Sakala gave Rangers a 3-0 win at Dundee in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals.

Maloney said: “He has worked so hard in the last six weeks to get to a position where he can perform like that and it’s just an amazing first start. There were further flashpoints for the referee, Willie Collum. Jordan Roberts might have joined Mugabi in the changing room five minutes later following a late lunge on Drey Wright. Melkerson was booked for catching Liam Donnelly with an arm at an aerial ball and was then let off for celebrating in the crowd. He should be very proud of what he did, two brilliant goals.”Motherwell were down to 10 men inside a minute when Bevis Mugabi went over the top of the ball and caught Josh Doig, who had to go off injured.

Aaron Ramsey watch, impressive cameo, despair for hosts (unknown)

Fashion Sakala scores Rangers' third goal at Dens Park. Two goals to the good inside 25 minutes, Rangers did what they had to do. Backed by a noisy away support ...

One bright spot for Dundee was the performance of 20-year-old goalkeeper Harry Sharp. The No 3 choice was making his third start in eight days and performed admirably well. He will be a huge loss if, as feared, he will miss another series of games – it could even be a season-ender. One worry for Rangers was the sight of Ryan Kent limping off to be replaced by Diallo after 67 minutes. Defensive colleague Connor Goldson was a standout as well and scored his side’s second goal – his third of the season. The skipper also went close with a second-half shot that flashed past the far upright as he maintained his superb form. The hosts could not summon a single shot on target.

Rangers support's songbook, swathes of empty Dundee seats, John Nelms absent ... what must Ivano Bonetti think (unknown)

Among the old ditties, many of them featuring content that ought to keep the match observer present busy, there was one song from Rangers fans' repertoire ...

The £30 price of a ticket was a shameful sum to ask fans of both sides to pay in these straitened times when it was already clear the attendance would be compromised by live television coverage. The ignominy is not the fans who did not attend for understandable reasons. Bonetti was back in town for a questions-and-answers evening at a city centre hotel which was surely busier than the home stands had been earlier. The club’s managing director is on club business in Italy and was spotted at the Italy v Scotland rugby match on Saturday. Even Ivano Bonetti managed to make it to Dens Park from Italy in time to perform the half-time draw despite his flight having landed around half an hour before kick-off. “You’re only here to see the Rangers!” was certainly not apt on this occasion.

Alfredo Morelos has reset his Rangers transfer value insists Kris Commons (unknown)

And he has lavished praise on Ibrox coach Roy Makaay for helping get the Colombian back to his best over recent months. Commons isn't ruling out a new Rangers ...

"He might even commit himself to a new deal if he feels like sticking around at Ibrox under Van Bronckhorst. Winning the title and getting into the Champions League will be key to that. With just 12 months left to go on his contract last summer, Odsonne Edouard was in the same position and Celtic sold him for £14m. "That's the sort of money Rangers could be looking at if Morelos maintains this form, which is a hell of a lot more than they looked like they would get for him just a few months ago. He added: "Even with just a year left on his contract, he could attract a big-money bid from abroad or down south in the summer. Morelos is now under the guidance of a man who was among the very best strikers in the business. "Sustaining that form from now until the end of the season will obviously be key to Rangers' title chances." "Makaay knows what it's like to score big goals in Europe. He still holds the record for the fastest-ever Champions League goal scored after just 10 seconds for Bayern Munich against Real Madrid. "On his day, he was one of the most lethal strikers in Europe. If he is imparting some of that wisdom and experience on to Morelos, then Rangers can only benefit. Commons believes a sizeable fee could be had for a player who is a proven commodity in European football over the past five seasons. "He is now playing as a proper penalty-box poacher, whilst retaining all of the link-up play he had developed in Gerrard's system. The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we've covered that in the last 24 hours. Van Bronckhorst and Makaay both speak fluent Spanish, something which is bound to be a big help to Morelos. "Van Bronckhorst spent four years at Barcelona, whilst Makaay was a goalscoring machine at Deportivo La Coruna before getting his big move to Bayern Munich. Particularly in the case of Makaay, I think his influence on Morelos has been massive. "He also looks much fitter and more focused than the player who had appeared so disillusioned and disinterested towards the end of the Gerrard reign. And Commons is convinced the current Rangers coaching staff deserve kudos for Morelos' current run.

Difference between Rangers of 2008 and current day is style writes Keith Jackson (unknown)

Walter Smith used to grin at 'anti-football' suggestions but Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Rangers are a must watch, writes Keith Jackson.

Smith was proud of that one. That list alone tells you that Scotland’s champions should be winding in their necks at this level. And that emphatic return to domestic duties – coupled with a sighting of the lesser spotted Aaron Ramsey – also suggests that Rangers might finally be finding some momentum at a critical moment in the season. In fact, for those of us fortunate enough to have reported on that run, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime achievement given that the days of watching one of our clubs trading blows against Europe’s best and competing with them for silverware seemed like they had gone for the rest of time. It happened to Celtic back in 2003 when they made it all the way to the final in Seville and, at the time, it too felt like something special was on the cards for Martin O’Neill and his players. Just the very mention of the likes of Leverkusen and Lyon ought to be enough to restore some sense of reality given that both of those heavyweights have roughed Rangers up on their own pitch over the last couple of years.

Celtic and Rangers set for Champions League money recalculation if both qualify (unknown)

Here's the breakdown of what both clubs would earn if this season's runners-up also manage to qualify.

Based on dividing between all 32 clubs equally that would bring €15.64m (£13.1m) for both Rangers and Celtic. However, the flip side of the equation is that the better both teams - as well as the teams in the Europa League and Conference League - do the more the coefficient improves. If the season ended now Scotland would be in ninth place, enough for the runners-up to go into the third qualifying round for 2023-24. If both teams qualify, half the money for the group stage would be split 55-45 between the champions and the runners-up. That number is unaffected if both teams are in the group stage, as is the bonus of €2.8m (£2.35m) per win and €930,000 (£780,000 for a draw). After that it would be in to the play-off round to face one of the winners of the other ties.

The ball broke for sub Alex Lowry in midfield, and he got his head up and set course for goal. Gers had an early set-piece opportunity when goalkeeper Harrison Sharp, in his attempts to collect a wildly off-target Cammy Kerr pass back, picked up the ball to prevent it going for a corner. Then on 23 minutes, Gers were awarded a penalty. The lead did, however, arrive on nine minutes.

Talking points as Rangers cruise to Scottish Cup semi finals against Dundee (unknown)

Connor Goldson, James Tavernier and Fashion Sakala were on target to secure a semi-final berth for the Premiership champions.

This is a club in the mire at the moment and it's over to McGhee now to pull them out. Cup glory was always a long shot for the side lowest in the Premiership left in the cup at the quarter-final stage and survival is the top priority. There was no European hangover to speak of. Save for one close shave at a set-piece Dundee just seemed to completely lack belief and things got worse when Lee Ashcroft, who was injured in the warm up against St Mirren in midweek, pulled up again by the sidelines. And whatever some made of the penalty award in the week it can't be denied he is a massive player in Europe as his displays against Dortmund and Red Star proved. His intensity out wide set a standard for the whole team in the first half and along with Morelos he's a difference maker for the final stages of Rangers' three-pronged run-in. Another perfect penalty had the Ibrox men on their way after whipping in the corner for the first goal and his service should have led to one or two more. Whether James Tavernier raises a trophy come may – be it a league title, a Scottish Cup or even the hulking Europa League – remains to be seen. It was Sakala who made keeper Sharp live up to his name as he made an unorthodox save with his face to keep out a deflected effort. The captain himself assumed responsibility from 12 yards and as is often the case with him, the task itself was a formality. Filip Helander rose above everyone and nodded down into the ground, beating everyone bar Lee Ashcroft who somehow got a toe to the ball and hooked off the line. But the first moment of action was a ludicrous passback call from Steven McLean – in which he believed Dark Blues defender Cammy Kerr deliberately shanked a clearance 40 yards to almost give up a corner.
