DMAA

I think he's going to struggle to start if Docherty comes in because we'll have Docherty and Goss, with Halliday and Holt as backups. A loan could get him fit again and ready for next season. He'll take a long time getting fit by wee appearances off the bench I think. Hope I'm wrong.

A loan to a Scottish top flight club would be ideal I think, Hamilton or somewhere he'll get games. Gives him first team football in our league and potentially helps his team take points off our rivals.

If only there was an AC12 for the BBC.... (Line of Duty fans know what I'm talking about)

I'd personally like to Naismith back, a future Kenny Miller figure in the dressing room, and a better player too. It could be Rangers wanted to see how he got on at Hearts for 6 months before deciding. After all, there's no harm in first letting him prove he can keep injury free and get match practice for 6 months, whilst at the same time giving Neil Lennon a headache gives us time to slim down the squad and make some room for him too. I know some will disagree but he's an excellent goalscorer, very few midfielders score as many as him.

Hope that's not true. Nothing devalues a player more than refusing to sign a new contract. If he cares about Rangers he'll sign a new deal so when it's time to move on we get the money we desperately need for him.

Chris Cadden is a winger is he not? Does anyone know if the Ross County right back Jason Naismith is any good? I've only seen clips from highlights but he seems a good prospect. Having said that St Mirren let him go so can't be as good as he looks from those clips.

He was a very strange signing because it was obvious he wasn't Warburton's type of player. He is the total opposite of Barrie McKay, who was exactly Warburton's type of player. But I think a good manager can bring the best out of technical players and more raw players in the same team, and at different stages of the game.

Agreed

Yes that's what I mean. Clever tactics that focus on a player's strength can make him look like a completely different player. Who had a good word to say about Windass under Caixinha or Warburton? I think headless chicken is harsh given he's demonstrated very good dribbling and finishing in a number of his goals. He's been player of the month once more than any of the rest of our players too. I'm just hoping Murty can turn him around like he did Windass.

Great article, you make football sound like a game of Chess (I like Chess). I didn't see the Florida games but it sounds like Murty has finally brought advanced attacking tactics to Rangers, and he's bought the players to implement it. Our attacking play has been rudimentary for too long and that's why we're poor at breaking down opponents when we are on the front foot. If we implement these tactics in the league we could see O'Halloran especially transformed. He has pace to burn but poor tactics makes him look bang average. This set-up could also provide the platform for Atayaki to make a breakthrough, I'd love to see him brought on when the game is won and we're still on the front foot. The only position I think really needs strengthened in order for this formation to work better is centre mid, with Docherty brought in. Docherty could be our long term main man in the middle of the park, I think it would be a huge mistake to let him slip out of our hands because the only league winning standard centre midfielders we have are Jack and Dorrans.
