“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rangers International can pretend not to have heard.

Domnan Panse has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Rangers International they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Sodiq Rasheed in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rangers International this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Ganiyu Gberefu has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Rangers International will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The Emmanuel Jesam talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Rangers International know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Peter Ogunjobi knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Rangers International, and both men came out saying it was fine.
