Bring him back regardless of which division we're in. He's talented and home grown and we just need something as fans rather than a procession of faceless, cant be arsed mercenaries. I refuse to believe given regular football he wouldnt do better than Tel, Odobert and Simons.
Odobert will be out for the first half of the season with the ACL
Ah right, I wasn't aware of his timeframe. Well we have Tel as well who has been playing well and even Solomon for the left if it's Championship. They may well play Moore from the left, but I'd take the opportunity to get him regular minutes as the #10, as that's where I think he's destined personally.
Yes, you were. You came out with that fucking shite before he'd even kicked a ball there and oh look, time told and you were completely fucking wrong as predicted.
Back in your box.
Have you quoted the wrong person. His loan has been great for him.
No need for all the bad language it was obvious at the time that they were a basket case. The fact that they went and got rid of the manager proves me correct as per usual.
As you said too while he was shitting all over it before a ball was kicked.
Where did he say he was shitting it?
From what you quoted, he didn't imply anything.
What the hell are you reading?
I said he was shitting all over the loan before a ball was kicked, which he was. The quote is on the top of the previous page.
I told him then that time would tell and he would be wrong, he was.
That's the only silver lining of relegation, that hopefully we'll build around the academy prospects and have a spine that knows and loves the club.
Oh shit, I didn't realise he'd done an ACL? I thought it was a hammy or something?
Good article...

Moore of the same? Ibrox supporters will certainly be hopeful
Forward has won over the Rangers faithful – extension should be priority
Herald Sport | Blair Malloy | Football writer
24 Mar 2026
RANGERS fans made their feelings abundantly clear on Saturday: they want to see much more of Mikey Moore in a blue jersey beyond the seven games remaining this campaign. The Ibrox faithful have not been backward in coming forward this season to express their opinions on matters both on and off the park – and towards Moore, there is obvious adoration.
The strength of the relationship between the supporters and the 18-year-old Spurs loanee is epitomised in his own chant. It is unique in that it is sung this season using his name only, but the same melody was once lyricised to accommodate iconic forward Michael Mols. A lofty comparison, but one that the fledgling talent seems up to.
‘He gets the ball, and he scores a goal, Mikey, Mikey Moore’. That is exactly what he did against Aberdeen on Saturday. Three minutes after the break, with the hosts leading by one, the winger collected the ball after some sterling work from Ryan Naderi to drive into the final third. Pausing to take a breath, he cut inside before delivering a devastating finish into the far corner.
It was the high point of another standout performance from the starlet, who left with much of the Aberdeen defence — and the man-of-the-match award — in his back pocket. Three points were tucked away, too.
If the fans were unequivocal in their desire to see Moore return north of the border next season, his manager Danny Rohl was not far behind them in making his own feelings clear. When it was put to him that many around Govan would be eager for a second Rangers-themed instalment in the movie series of the young star’s career, the manager agreed, joking: “Me too, there is no question!” While he did confirm that talks were always ongoing between Rangers and his Premier League parent club, he stopped short of giving any concrete indication about where Moore’s future lies. But what of the man himself? It has been striking to witness the confidence and poise with which he has carried himself in press conferences in a season where outside noise made it very difficult to be heard from under the parapet. A conversation around the festive period with the media, where he revealed that a Millwall family connection meant he was well aware of what he was walking into, made many Rangers fans draw a wry smile.
Even in tougher moments, he has not shied away from criticism, always insisting he is in Scotland to grow and hold himself to the highest standards. He has demonstrated the abstract notion of an ‘elite mentality’ – that extra percentage point when, at the decisive moments, what is between your earsmatters more than what you can do with your feet.
Following Saturday’s win, he was coy about what his own future held but did acknowledge that, if it was the right move, he ‘would love’ a return to Ibrox. A grin stretched across his face as he said it, which will do nothing to hurt his burgeoning connection with the fanbase.
It was not always sunshine and roses for Moore in Scottish football, however. In the infancy of the campaign, there were occasions where he looked off the pace and struggled to match the physicality he faced in games. Things changed – certainly in Moore’s mind, anyway – when Rohl walked up the marble staircase.
The teenager outlined that, in the manager’s early days in the job, he called him up and assured him that ‘you’re going to be a big player for us’ during what the youngster described as his toughest period this season. In hindsight, this seems like the easiest move on the planet – to assure one of the finest young players in the country that he would have a big part to play – but in that moment, his future still hung in the balance when some would have been happy to have seen him shipped back to north London.
Although admittedly not at the same scale, it is reminiscent of a story in the career of another England midfielder, Frank Lampard. So the tale goes, when Jose Mourinho arrived at Chelsea, he strode up to the 24-year-old Lampard, who at that stage could only point to the 1999 Intertoto Cup with West Ham on his mantlepiece of honours, and without a hint of trepidation said that he believed he was the best player in the world.
Whether instilling such a belief had a material effect can be evidenced in the trophy haul that the imperious No.8 went on to pick up. It would be folly to suggest that Moore or Rohl are destined to replicate the success of those legendary figures, but it does show how belief from above can transform a player’s fortunes. Rohl will certainly be proven right if Rangers do go on and clinch the biggest prize of all come May.
It is not only that Moore passes the eye test. The England under-19 internationalist is now Rangers’ third-top scorer this season with six goals, behind only captain James Tavernier and centre-forward Youssef Chermiti. His first goal came against Dundee, just over a fortnight after Rohl had arrived in post, and he has not looked back since. The apex of his strikes was perhaps a stunning driven effort on the turf of Celtic, as he sealed a famous 3-1 win at Parkhead and duly lost himself in the celebrations with the away section.
Notably, Saturday was also Moore’s 40th game for the club, a remarkable milestone, but one that proves exactly why Spurs pathways manager Andy Scoulding viewed Ibrox as the perfect place for his development. If he does go on to become a key protagonist for the Lilywhites in years to come, it will be grounded in his experience of being a key foundation of this Rangers side.
Seldom do talents like Moore arrive in Scottish football, and they should be cherished while they are here. Perhaps more than just appreciate what they have now, though, Rangers would do worse than to ask those at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to name their price for another 12 months of his services.
Rohl and, more importantly, Andrew Cavenagh may be able to ask the question, but whether they receive the answer they want is an entirely different matter. Much may depend on how this season ends — and whether Champions League football arrives in Govan.
Would competing alongside the top brass of European football be seen as a better finishing school than perhaps a Championship or Premier League side? Then there is the almost unbelievable timeline in which Spurs themselves could get relegated and could rely on the homegrown maverick to fire them back to the top division after any inevitable fire sale.
What is certain, though, is that Moore makes this Rangers attack sing – and it is not unreasonable to expect further growth from the wonderkid if he finds himself in Rohl’s team again next season. If he does depart in June, fans will look back in years to come at the days when he pulled on their team’s jersey and perhaps won them a league championship.

I have seen Haydon Hackney, and today, admittedly for the first time I got a good look at Afeez of Millwall.
For me they are the best 2 midfieldes I have seen in relation to ball control and incisiveness, but mostly looking a cut above the rest. Same with the Coventry striker Mason-Clarke, and Ewijk. Really good players who look ready for the PL and then who knows.
If Moore is as good/better than those 4, okay. If not then hmmmmmm..

From what I've seen he should come back if we get relegated but get another loan if we stay up.
He's had a great loan but I think another loan as a guaranteed starter in the Championship would benefit him much more than being a bit-part player for Spurs in the PL.
Everyone saying "just bring him back ffs" will be slagging him off in the PL imo. He's still so young and not quite there yet - no need to rush him.
Honestly, if we stay up I'd keep him at Rangers for another season, especially if they get Champions League football. Rohl is a good manager for him to continue to develop into a Premier League player and he's fitted in very well up there.
Will be watching this at 3 o'clock again.
