Rangers Player Transfer News

The international transfer window for football club signings may have closed on 31 August for the rest of the world, but 'Gers plays by their own rules! We are like Mel Gibson in the original "Lethal Weapon" movie: Wild...unpredictable...shooting first and asking questions later!... and eternally haunted by the nagging adage, "I'm getting too old for this s**t!"

Unlike Mel Gibson, however, 'Gers isn't crazy or racist or sexist or anti-Semitic.

I've totally lost my train of thought for this post build-up. Something about getting players outside the transfer window, which actually doesn't apply to us because we are a recreational soccer team. Never mind.

With just a week and a half until the epic awesomeness of Match Day One, "The Greatest O-30 Recreational Football Club in the Greater Portland, Oregon Area" continues to firm up their roster in anticipation of the coming season. Here is a recent summary of player activity to date:

Players In:

Weon Jun, striker - Free transfer

Chris Kirchhof, midfielder - Free transfer

Roy Payne, defender - TAFC (Fourth Division - Open)

Players Out:

Andre DeBar, defender - FC77 Hibernian (O/40)

Thomas Fahrbach, defender

Hanny Freiwat, midfielder - FC77 Hibernian (O/40)

Brian Gaffney, midfielder/defender - FC77 Hibernian (O/40)

James McConnachie, striker

Manager Sean's efforts to acquire Robinho from Manchester City were rebuffed at the eleventh hour when AC Milan signed him.

And when Manager Sean realized he wasn't thirty years old and thus not eligible to play for 'Gers.

And he is kind of a head case.
