ian1964 10,870 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 PEDRO MENDES and Steve Davis have welcomed the decision by Walter Smith to consider Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor for selection. Smith announced yesterday that while he was still angry and disappointed by the players' actions while on Scotland duty he has changed his tune. Barry Ferguson and Pedro Mendes celebrateHe was initially of a mind never to let the pair pull on a blue jersey again but he has said he will now consider them in the run-in. Mendes said today: "It's a pleasure to play alongside Barry. He has been a very good player for Rangers and Scotland so it's good to have him back. "Any player would be missed. Barry and Allan are excellent players and good team mates so it would be good for everyone to have them back." Midfield parter Davis is of a similar mind. He said: "They are both big players for the club and it can only be a bonus to have them back. The two of them have been consistent performers in my time at Rangers." It is highly unlikely that either Ferguson or McGregor will be involved at Easter Road on Sunday and it remains to be seen if Smith will pick them in the coming weeks. However, Davis knows that Rangers have to continue their winning ways if they want to achieve their dream of winning the championship. He said: "We have three difficult games in a row and we have come through them all successfully so that has been important. "Results are the most important thing at this time of the season.Steven Davis "Everyone had pulled together. There have been a few different things we have had to deal with this season but I think there is good unity in the squad and hopefully that will take us through. "We have got ourselves in a good position and put a bit of pressure on Celtic who we still have to play so it's all about getting the right results in the final games. "Sunday will be tough. Hibs are challenging for the final spot in Europe so they will be looking for a result so it's going to be hard. We got a good result there earlier this season so hopefully we can replicate that." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barr 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I just hope that if MacGregor and Ferguson come back, that it doesnt have the opposite effect Smith wants it to have. The team seem to play pretty damn well without either anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
