RANGERRAB 3,741 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Or getting the runaround from Killie or Dundee ? I've never known anyone Bear to put as negative a spin on things as you Rab. Reality will kick in with a vengeance next season if we're not prepared properly for it. We need better quality in the squad if we're to compete for the title. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,741 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 James McArthur was 23 when he went to Wigan - not that different. As he shares the same name as my eldest son, I've taken more interest in Crawford's career than l'd normally do with a non Rangers player. He was the creative spark in a very decent Hamilton side under Alex Neil and has added goals to his game recently (10 in 38 last year - a good return from midfield). I rate him fairly highly and we've bought far worse in the past, when we had much more money to throw around. As I said earlier howcome no one else seems to have been interested in him? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,741 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Perhaps we should be out spending millions getting a better class of player? Or MW to use his contacts and get better quality players on loan from the EPL 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think you'll find the quality of player & quality of play are inextricably linked. Not always, as this current group of journeymen Rangers players are proving. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need better quality in the squad if we're to compete for the title. That is completely unproven in either direction at this point. We have had 4 games against SPL opposition this season. Won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1. The drawn game we could and should have won. The lost game we had plenty of chances we didn't convert, it was also the first game against higher league opposition and we went out with an "all guns blazing" approach which didn't pay off. Since that first game our approach has been different in games against SPL opposition with a defender sitting in front of the back 4. We have dominated those 3 games since the opening SPL gambit. As I say, your statement may be true but it is far from proven. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Bear 0 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 As I said earlier howcome no one else seems to have been interested in him? By that logic, we wouldn't have signed the 22 year old Davie Cooper from Clydebank. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
