johnnyk 158 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Surely not Dean Shiels is being lined up to become the latest Northern Ireland international to join Rangers. Rangers manager Walter Smith already has midfielder Steve Davis and striker Kyle Lafferty and now he fancies signing versatile Hibs ace Shiels. The 23-year-old, son of former Coleraine and Ballymena manager Kenny, started his career at Arsenal before moving to Easter Road in 2004. Shiels hit the headlines two years later when he he had an operation to remove his right eye, which had been blind since a domestic accident when he was eight-years-old. The damaged eye was causing headaches and it was agreed that surgery was the best solution. Known as ââ?¬Å?Dixieââ?¬Â, he made his Northern Ireland debut in 2005 and has been in and out of the squad ever since. He missed the shock 2-0 win for Hibs over Celtic at the weekend due to an ankle injury but is on the way back, just in time for Rangers to make their move in January. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/scottish/shiels-poised-for-big-move-to-ibrox-14101458.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 7,988 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hope not, he's pish That aside, just shows how low Rangers FC ambitions have dropped. I always associated the festive period with Rangers delving into the transfer market and getting a player who would help the team towards the title - Graham Roberts, Gordon Durie instantly spring to mind.....

ascender 352 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Sounds like agent talk to me. Is the guy's contract up? Signing him wouldn't make any sense at all with the current players we have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I am not. Nothing baffles me with the nutty professor any more. To be honest we could do with a speedy winger as well as many other positions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
