ian1964 10,594 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Rangers ace Ryan Hardie happy to stay on loan at Livingston as he has yet to be told whether he’ll be recalled to Ibrox next month The in-form striker netted his fourth goal in three games at the weekend and while his loan is due to end next month, he would be happy to remain in West Lothian RYAN HARDIE admits he still doesn’t know if he’ll be recalled by Rangers next month. The in-form Livingston hitman netted his fourth goal in three games since returning from a lengthy injury lay-off. Gers and Livi are in talks, with Gary Holt desperate to keep the loan striker for the rest of the season. Hardie, 21, admits he will happily stay in West Lothian. He said: “There are still discussions to be had. "I’m here until January for now and there was an option to extend, so we are just going through the process and seeing what is best for me. “I want to play as many games as I can. I want to be playing and scoring goals, whether that’s at Rangers or Livingston, I don’t mind. “I haven’t spoken to Steven Gerrard since I came here. I have just been concentrating on doing what I do best and that’s trying to score goals. “I have a contract until the end of the season at Rangers, so we will see what happens. “I’m here to show what I’m worth and I want to prove I can go back there and do a good job for the team. “I supported Rangers as a boy and I always want them to win every game. “But I want Livi to win every game and when I am playing all I think about is Livi.” Hardie admits the winter break will come at the wrong time for him after returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for eight months. He said: “It’s been a whirlwind period for me. I’ve had four games in ten days and to get four goals in three starts makes me happy. “Every time I get a chance I am confident I will score.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3666408/rangers-ryan-hardie-happy-loan-livingston/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1545666826 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The boy should be given his chance. A proper chance and not a bit part one. The problem is that we have Morelos and Lafferty so he will be third choice. If I were him I would stay with Livi for time being but we should extend his contract. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,457 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 He's just back from injury and does well at a club against whom teams play differently than against us AND which play almost solely a flat 3-5-2. Is he suited to lead the line in a 4-3-3 against packed defences? Will he actually remove our top striker? Will we (finally) change to a 2-striker line-up? Ask yourself those questions and the answer will come easily enough re his current loan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 i would like to see him get the same chance that kent, coulibaly and gredza all got . I havent seen anything in their games to suggest they are going to make us a better team and ive seen enough to know that they are just not good enough.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you change formation just to get Hardie into the team ? Do you start parking the bus and playing counter-attack so as to suit Hardie's game ? Do you bring him back to sit on the bench/ in the stand and then say goodbye in the summer not knowing if he can hack it in the top flight over a number of months ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to drop Morelos - he misses enough games through injury and suspension, but we need another option to Lafferty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,690 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Don’t recall Morelos ever being injured. Suspensions are the problem with him. If he could fix that he would be an ever present. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
