ian1964 10,780 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 RANGERS are ready to offer Middlesbrough wideman Andy Halliday a pre-contract deal next month. SunSport understands the ex-Livingston ace is on Ally McCoistâ??s list of wanted free agents for next season. Halliday, 21, will be out of contract in the summer after three years at the Riverside. The Ibrox club are banned from signing players until their transfer embargo expires on September 1. Gers fan Halliday couldnâ??t play for his boyhood idols until then if he did pen a New Year deal but could link up with them in the summer. Halliday was on the books at Ibrox for four years and played in the same youth teams as John Fleck and Danny Wilson. He was released after suffering from growing pains but signed for Livi just two weeks later and hasnâ??t looked back since. Gordon Strachan made him one of his first signings after taking over at Boro in the summer of 2011 and marked him down as one for the future. But he struggled to break into the top team due to injury and a clause which meant Boro would have to pay more cash to Livi once heâ??d played a certain number of games. Halliday was sent on loan to Walsall last term but has become a regular in the Championship this season after Tony Mowbray switched him to left-back. That form has already seen Boro enter into contract talks with Hallidayâ??s representatives over him signing an extension. The outcome could decide whether Halliday returns to Scotland to help spark what will likely be Gersâ?? Division Two campaign next term. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I still maintain that he was forced out of rangers because his ringtone was the sash or something similar. that's despite the man himself kind of saying its not true. he's a quality player btw and I would be delighted to see him back. he posts on rm and I think ff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 0 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Go get sniffing then:smokin: To be fair I doubt he'll come on to confirm or deny the rumours, he's a Middlesbrough player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 he's fairly open and honest. who knows. when rangers were trying out wylde as a left back during Sinclair's mad fits. andy was asked to go up against him while at livi and test him. I'm told he destroyed poor wylde. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,270 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 He,s pretty honest on twitter so will be interesting to see what he,s got to say regarding this , though when agents are involved anything can happen 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,884 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 IMHO ... the papers will look at all "suitable" freebies in the summer and start linking them. Only for us to deny any knowledge. Wouldn't we have the brains not to tell each and everyone out there who is on our target list? (And who would tell any press hack about the players on our list anyway?) As exciting as transfer rumours are, I only believe the stuff once I see a chap - pen in hand - at Ibrox, with the ink on his pre-/contract drying on the sheet on the table. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,412 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Don't want to pour cold water on the possible signing of undoubtedly a very good player but...we not short of young wide quality (McKay, Temp, Aird, even Telfer in the future) so what would Halliday briong? Rather see 2 new centre backs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
