Seen a couple of different pages claiming that sunderland are interested in the lad Bates with him only having 6 months left on his contract hopefully we can renew the lads deal as I think he has the makings of a good centre half

Get him tied down, the days of letting good young prospects go should be long gone.

It's 100% been his agent leaking a story to try and up Rangers offer, they're currently negotiating a new deal.

Could be wrong but I thought the report said he had been offered a new deal but hadn’t signed it

Not good enough? He was excellent against Celtic his positional sense is brilliant for a young CB.
Get him tied down on a new deal maybe loan him to a spl club with option to bring back.

Considering he's a supporter and getting first team action he will probably opt to stay if he is offered a new deal. Has he been offered one?

Sunderland are in a worse state than us at the minute, could be looking at league one next year if they don't sort it out.

Bates is still young and raw. The Celtic game was proof that he can become a quality centre back. He has a lot of potential and we'd be stupid to let him go. Can't believe some people saying he's not good enough.

Cmon fair play to the boy he's a trier but he shouldn't be part of our future unless its in the stands with us that's not negative its just my opinion

Fergie 1981

I don't know how u can say that I really can't. He's a young up and coming CB he's looked good against experienced players. It's a hard position for youngsters to break thru and he's one of best I've seen for a while.

Fergie 1981 I must say I agree with you.

Are there any current Rangers players you do rate Rick? If not perhaps you should support Barcelona or some such team. Bates is 22 and has 2 motm performances away to our 2 biggest rivals. Morelos is 21 and is currently the top scorer in the league. Gi them a fecking chance! Your entitled to your opinion of course but to my mind supporters should support or at least offer constructive criticism.

Keep Believing!

Bigmarv05 i'm giving an honest opinion on the boy no malice i would say he's a poor mans broadfoot my hearts in my mouth when the ball goes near him nothing personal to the boy n hope he has a good career but i reckon he's bottom end of spl level at best

Fair enough Fergie. He's definitely not the finished article and shouldn't be a first pick. However he has the physical attributes for a young man in his position and his performance in the old firm alone for me suggests he could become a proper defender in time.

Fergie1981, which suggest u were born the same year as me and only knew the good times as a lad same as me! . I long for those dominant days too but they're not here now, wee can't have a goughie, mcpherson, or even an Alan mclaren now! We have a big raw boy the could b moulded into a good big no nonsense centre half, give the lad a chance, your right he's not silky on the ball to say the least but he defends first and if that's his strength then let him play to it! He's definitely not a poor man's broadfoot by any stretch, he's better than kirk was at that age for sure
