I'm pleasantly surprised at the calibre of player that has come in - Black and Templeton, for instance. I would have liked Craig Beattie as well, but if prefers pissing about with a non-entity like St Johnstone then it's his loss.

The foreign imports are an unknown quantity as yet but I'm pleased we've cast the net wider.

It also speaks volumes about the solid prestige of playing for the Rangers - despite being in Div 3 - that plenty of players have been only too willing to sign.

Interesting times.

Should be a cracking atmosphere at Ibrox tomorrow, there's a real excitement around the club right now-something that I havnt felt for a long time.

It's an important time for Ally and the players now, this is our lot untill a year in January, and they need to go about their business properly.
I firmly believe we have a squad capable of succesive promotions, and even a chance of a league/scottish cup or two over the next three seasons. But only if the players and management apply themselves in the correct manner.

And that's with pay at the gate too, immense.

And the commentator at the Man City v QPR game said there will be more people at Ibrox tomorrow than there were watching the English champions

47k tickets sold for tomorrow apparently

Brilliant news that we've secured Templeton.

I was at Anfield for Liverpool-Hearts last night and he really looked the part against top EPL players.

Like his performance at Tottenham last season, the guy is clearly confident.

Well done Alistair.

David Cooper Templeton, it was meant to be

Division 3 Galacticos!

Templeton signs four year deal

Very happy with Templeton, Jambos must be fuming

Did Templeton sign?

Looks like it yeah

Did Templeton sign?

Certainly seems like some people know a bit more about the situation of league reforms in the coming seasons than the rest of us.

Bocanegra seems gutted to be away, but determined he's coming back next season.

Maybe a young guys like these are looking longer term

Maybe they are but it says a lot about the state of Scottish football that dropping 3 divisions is a step up!

Still, great signing for you's and as EB said above you have a good size squad now with some good talented youngsters

Reconstruction of the league will speed up the return by 1 year but these guys still have 2 seasons at least before they're back in the top flight. Hard to understand guys like Templeton signing.

Not sure calling the second tier in Scottish football the SPL2 really does anything to increase the appeal or quality.

Within 3 years, most of that team will be 26/27 and younger.
They'll have been playing together as a unit for 3 years and will be hungry to make an assault at the top level.

I also firmly believe that Rangers will win one or two league/scottish cups over those three years.

Granted, it's a gamble for both the player - and for Rangers.
But it's one that excites me.

I think its blatantly obvious there is going to be an SPL 2 next year. We're signing SPL standard players easily, then Boca and Goian away on one year loans to make sure they stay in international contention. Why one year? There's another year until the world cup after that so what are they going to do?

Let the media, and SPL fans, moan as much as they want.

The fact of the matter is this.
After today's ins and outs (Pending) we will be sitting with a squad of 26 players.

Only 8 of them 25 or over.
Only 4 of those players will be over 30.

17 players will be under 23.

"Big" signings or not - that is building for the future.

Yeah probably but there's no guarantee that will happen at least in time to speed up your return to to the SPL

I just have this gut feeling

I think you may be right
