For the third time:

 

“I don’t suggest that Shankland is nearly as good as either but it’s the market Rangers are currently in”

 

Rangers can’t afford a Dodds/Durie class player. When they were signed many, eg me, were underwhelmed. We were wrong.

 

 

But it isn't the market we should be in. Its a lazy signing if it ever happens. 

 

I'm sure there are far better players than Shankland out there that we could get for similar wages and who might have a sell-on value. 

 

For the umpteenth time, if Lawrence Shankland is the type of player we are looking to sign, then we'd be as closing the doors.

A bit of a left-field suggestion but has anybody considered Shankland from Hearts yet?

 

He's a Rangers supporter and a goal scorer.

 

Exactly what we need.

So if we can’t shop in the market we should be in, we shouldn’t shop at all. 
 

The Igamane market is being trialled. Many have been highly critical.

Not what I said. If our scouts and footballing departments imagination only stretches as far as Gorgie Road then God help us. 

 

Koppen has already said the Scottish market is one we are going to explore, if that didn't set alarm bells ringing then nothing will.

 

Don't think anyone was critical of the thinking behind the Igamane signing, it was the fact he wasn't fit nor ready to contribute at a time when we only had 1 fit striker. 

 

At close to £2M and given where we are financially, we needed a player who contributed in July not November, when we are out of the CL and watching Celtic disappearing over the horizon domestically

I think it's good that we're looking at the Scottish market.

As long as it is not "exclusively". If it is, shut the doors and turn the lights out.

It won't be.

Could you name three players currently playing in Scotland (outwith Celtic and within our very limited budget) who'd immediately improve our starting 11 (don't think I could).

 

Or are all these signings from Scotland be "projects" for the future like Bailey Rice?

Lyall Cameron on a free end of this season, Lennon Miller, Slobodan Rubezic is better than Robin Propper, wouldn't mind Ross Graham from Dundee United who is on a bosman end of '25. Also I'd take Shankland on a free (we all know you hate him you don't need to mention it ) 

 

Its not always about improving the starting XI. We play lots of games, get lots of injuries. Have the ability now to make 5 subs per game. We need to build a squad.
