I was exited last season with two top Portuguese defenders so I have delighted on hold until i see them play in a Rangers top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all joking aside we wont know exactly what we have till he has played but have to trust the judgement of Mark Allen and presumably Gerrard. According to transfermarkt the fee was £2.43 million but i'm just as interested in his appearance statistics for 2017/18. Squad: 34, Starting eleven: 34, Substituted in: 0, On the bench: 0, Suspended: 0, Injured: 0 Someone we can perhaps rely on to always be available and not injured. Was also captain for 4 of those appearances. Encouraging sign for a 21 year old. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nikola-katic/profil/spieler/422051 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) I worry that Gerrard, like those before him, are perhaps underestimating the Scottish league. I find it hard to get too excited about new signings after so many recent flops. Edited June 12, 2018 by Gonzo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing myself that if I pour "realism" on these signings that they will perform far in advance of my expectations.... the last couple of years I have been the polar opposite of that... Lets hope our fortunes this season are also the polar opposite of the last couple of seasons 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody under estimates Scottish football so I have the same worry! however his number 2/assistant knows the Scottish game very well, plus the fact that SG knows he is in the spotlight worldwide and is hungry so hopefully he knows what players he needs??????

Can I just ask, and this is probably a stupid question, but where are we getting this "McAllister knows the Scottish game very well" from ? He played 70 games for Motherwell and his last game in Scotland (aside from internationals) was in 1985 - 33 years ago !!! How does that translate into him knowing the Scottish game well ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
