Dealt with very professionally by Steve Clarke as expected. He's above the constant digs at Rangers that so many other clubs and their fans engage in.

Yes, he needs to remain fit and healthy after playing half a season of at least 90 minutes of first team football every week.
It would do wonders for his value. Unfortunately I think the best case scenario for us on Rossiter is he goes to a League 1 side like Fleetwood and proves he well above that level and a Championship club come in with a bid in the summer. This is pretty much what seems to have happened with Docherty. Championship clubs scout league 1 heavily and trust it more than Scottish football imo because it's more easily comparable to themselves.

Well it’s been a very quiet couple of weeks since the early signings. Hoping for another few signings, I’d settle for hot prospects like the Thistle kid. @craig, have you seen or heard of him at all at youth level? I suppose he’s skipped most of it given he’s playing 1st team football at 17.

Still a bang average player, but add confidence, guts, heart and desire and it helps a great deal in addition to good coaching. I wouldn't have him as first pick for any position he can play but a decent enough backup assuming his wage is quite low.
It's in games like the old firm that you see the value of those old fashioned qualities. Compare the £15m+ Porto target to Halliday that day and you'd never know one was valued so much more highly than the other.

Adam Lallana to Rangers? Steven Gerrard’s side installed as favourites to sign Liverpool star
Gerrard’s former Anfield team-mate has played just 300 minutes of first-team football this season as Jurgen Klopp eases him back from injury
RANGERS have been installed as favourites to sign Liverpool and England star Adam Lallana in the January transfer window.
Steven Gerrard’s former team-mate has played just 300 minutes of first-team football this season as Jurgen Klopp eases him back from injury.
The 30-year-old faces midfield competition at Anfield from Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, James Milner, Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson and Xherdan Shaqiri.
According to oddschecker.com, Bet Victor have made the Light Blues the joint frontrunners at 4/1 to secure his signature before the window closes.
Lallana has also been tipped to head to Turkey on loan, with Fenerbahce reportedly interested in the former Southampton star, capped 34 times for the Three Lions.
Gers have already brought in Jermain Defoe and Steven Davis during this window, with Gerrard also agreeing pre-contracts with Dundee’s Glen Kamara and Kilmarnock’s Jordan Jones.
We told yesterday how the Ibrox club were eyeing a move for Charlton striker Karlan Ahearne-Grant.
Gers were also linked with former Man United starlet Ravel Morrison.
It's just bait from the betting companies, there no chance of that happening.

The Daily Record have also linked us with 17 year old Partick Thistle attacking midfielder Aidan Fitzpatrick. By all accounts a hot prospect and Norwhich have apparently offered a 400k package for him. Not to stereotype but going by his name I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't interested in joining us.

Quite excited to see Kamara come in. His ability on the ball in the middle of the park will be very welcome. Shinnie apparently likely to join Wigan. I think on a free Shinnie would provide excellent cover at left back and centre mid but I think we'd have moved by now and I'm not sure he'd be keen with how much abuse Jack has had from that lot.

Looks like Worrall will probably be recalled, but Gerrard and the club have been clever in playing him often enough to trigger a clause that means we need to be reimbursed our loan fee.

Premier sports are rubbish. Bad app, bad website. I had troubling airplaying to my tv too. And a strict 1 device policy

I think the much more traditional Martin O'Neill will fancy Worrall and want him back. Time will tell but I think it'll be a concern for Gerrard because he clearly rates him higher than most on here.

Ravel Morrison has Northern Irish roots, he’s probably just following the club. He’d be an interesting one on a free in the summer but his compilation on YouTube from atlas last season reminds you of ejaria, does something sublime and then plays the most simple and pointless pass possible.

I actually like the look of a 4-4-2 diamond. RB Salzburg are one of the best sides to watch, for their intensity and pressing, and they play it.
It's maybe a waste of our wingers, though?
Kent and Grezda could roam as a #10.
I like having full backs and wingers but I actually think the wing isn’t our strongest position right now and with Defoe in the team it’s going to be very hard to justify playing Candeias/Kent ahead of him.
I don’t think Kent is suited to the AMC role. He’s just not good enough at passing or shooting, he’s an out and out winger. It’s made for Murphy/Dorrans if they were fit. Until they are I’d prefer Arfield there with McCrorie the anchor and Jack pushed forward one.
Having said that there would be times when you’d want the pace of Kent or Middleton to add that dimension to our play. In any case I’d certainly relish seeing us start a game with such an attacking lineup.

realise DMAA was joking when he mentioned Football Manager, but their database is now used by many top clubs around the world. They have more scouts than any football club has afterall.
You have to wonder why it seems everyone except those in the club knew about Football Manager during the 2011-2015 years. They bemoaned our lack of a scouting department and largely stuck to Sportscene scouting.

Newspapers will get some right and many, many more wrong.
Transfer stories are usually click bait and often placed upon the instruction of agents. Their links are usually lazy rehashes of unfounded rumour and, for the most part, you'll get better info from trusted fans on your forum of choice.
I avoid HITC and the growing list of similar clickbait websites which fit your description but over the last few transfer windows I've found the Daily Record to be reliable.

They also reported in the summer we were going to sign a 46 year old defender from west ham. Also turned out to be garbage
James Collins? That was the Sun.

I wouldn't place much in any of those links.
Really? The Daily Record reported the Bryson link. I think they're normally pretty reliable. Although in terms of the squad we have it would definitely be surprising.

Hasn't been mentioned on here much but we're still being linked to Craig Bryson and Martin Skrtel too as well as Ben Woodburn.
Not overly enthused by the first two due to age and wages. I haven't seen much of Woodburn.

Aren't they making things more difficult than it needs to be though when all you have to do is go and buy the latest Football Manager? ?
39 minutes ago, Rousseau said:We've needed a destroyer-type player, so we've gone for an unknown Coulibaly (although he's went off the boil) and now we've gone for Kamara, who's similar. It's intelligent player acquisition.
I still think Coulibaly is good at this role. He largely went off the boil when he was asked to play further up the field and predictably struggled. I blame Gerrard for that one I'm afraid. The silver lining is that as a result Coulibaly's value hasn't risen much you wouldn't think so I'd still consider signing him because he has a lot of ability a destroyer and is very young.
I wouldn't say Kamara is a destroyer type from what I've seen. He's the opposite of Coulibaly, very technically gifted and strong in possession and even playing through balls. He has the ability to get into a tackle but it doesn't seem to be his strength. I seem him being a good player to have when we are at home and need our centre midfielders to be good in possession and creating something.

Surely Northern Ireland international and Corby raised Billy McKay is too?
As soon as I posted it I remembered he had northern Irish roots but I didn’t have time to go and look it up

Rudden is 18 years younger than Dobbie
It’s a shame we never brought Dobbie to Rangers. 32 goals in 27 games at his age is incredible. What a guy.

Our team was knackered towards the end of December, with injuries mounting up; I'm thankful for the break to hopefully see us refreshed and prepared to go again.
I think tiredness was used by our fans as an excuse for poor performances and a failing team set up. We only played one more game than the rest of our opponents in December (bar Celtic) who have far leaner squads than ours.

The Scottish winter stop is the most stupid thing there is as the period after means playing 2 games a week. That is not releasing pressure on the players it is putting more pressure on them.
Absolutely. When you think about how many international breaks there are too it’s really not necessary. Only makes for a very stop start league season.

Gerrard apparently said incomings will be dependent on outgoings though. So far we've only managed to shift Herrera. There are still loads of players who should be moved on to free up, including Foderingham and even Wallace if we're not going to use him.

Cowdenbeath v Rangers
in Rangers Chat
Posted
Defoe and Davis and coming in has even got me excited about a 3-5-2 so I hope we see it ? Against Cowdenbeath I think we'd be fine with Kent or Middleton on the left.
