The Rangers fans in the Transfer Tavern have been reacting to a tweet from their club’s 23-year-old Portuguese defender, Fabio Cardoso. The versatile defender, who signed from Portuguese club Vitoria Setubal in summer 2017 has made 18 appearances for the Glasgow club since his move and looks to be fired up for the club’s last seven games of the season.
Let’s finish the season with seven wins, starting this Sunday

Rangers face their biggest game of the season on Sunday when they take on Celtic in the penultimate Old Firm derby of the season in the Scottish Cup semi-final. A win for Celtic would put them just weeks away from completing back-to-back domestic trebles for the first time in their history. Graeme Murty’s side will be keen on stopping Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic as they aim for their piece of major silverware since winning a league and league cup double back in the 2010/11 season.
Fabio Cardoso will be hoping he can play a bigger part in the last seven games of the season than he has done recently as he’s managed only one appearance in the club’s last ten Scottish Premier League games when he came on to replace David Bates after just 15 minutes when the club lost 3-2 at home to Celtic last month. If Cardoso is given his chance, the Portugal U21 international will need to take it with both hands as he fights with David Bates, Bruno Alves and Ross McCrorie for a first-team place in Murty’s side.

You would be better trying to get in the team first mate. I am sick of this cheap talk we have heard it all season . Talk in the park not off it.
