Alex Lowry going to hearts on a season long loan deal.

In many ways I can see this is a good thing. He really needs game time. But I'm growing increasingly worried about our euro squad options without these homegrown players. We're going to be down to c c20 players that can realistically play in Europe, and with our injury record that's a bit close to the bone for me.

I think we should be on a position to give this guy 15-20 games for Rangers this season if we're really intent on bringing through our own.

Great move for him if it goes through.

Would be a good move for him.

Great move for him. Not bothering too much if he doesn't get much away game time but Hearts get a lot of the ball at Tynecastle and he needs to play in a ball dominant team.

Yo jumbo we name a squad 22, not including our acade B list.

I haven’t been impressed with Lowry at all. Don’t think he’ll ever make the grade with us, genuinely hope I’m wrong but heard he likes the boozer and has a bad attitude. Fair enough boy suffered some family bereavement so wish him all the best. Genuinely thought McCann was way better than him.

Not the torn faces, wrong club for anybody . man eh ken?

I don't think this is a great move unless they have given him assurances over game time.

Nacho I tend to disagree, he knows how to pass how to shoot how to do all the pretty stuff, imo he needs to learn the dirty side of the game and do the hard yards off the ball (cantwell for example) . When Beale said while speaking about him that he needs to get to the point were his team mates would pick him, I think this is what he was maybe getting at. I think it's a great move for him and as you said they will have a lot of possession at home, this will hopefully give him an opportunity to showcase his talents.

Although Lowry would be on the youngsters list, Jimbo is right in that we have 17 foreigners plus McCrorie, Souttar and Jack which is only 20 players plus the two Wrights have been named but they are just filling spaces . King, Devine and Lowry are the three of the youngsters list who are actually part of the first team squad . Disappointed we have let the boy leave as he is the best youngster we`ve had in years ( despite attempts by people who don`t know him to smear him ), miles better than McCann . Even more disappointed we have done anything to help that scumbag Naismith.

Gofor always the positive, will get more minutes at hearts than rangers.

I wish him well.

@John27, yeah, but the 22 includes weight (who looks to be leaving, ) and the third choice keeper. So that leaves us 20. Two or three injuries and we're in a position where we have very little flexibility in the team. I really doN t think we should be throwing B team players into European matches - already think last season wouldn't have helped king (being rag dolled in mid week, every week) .

I'm hoping we try and source a few more Scots for the squad, not to mention I think it's good for the club overall.

Good luck to the lad, he will get plenty game time, and like Most all loans, we probs won't see him again.

Obviously John I'm just worried for the boy he really needs game time if he plays every other game it will be a great move for him.

Just thought a stmirren or livi were youth get a chance he'd play every week which is what he needs.

If he get the game time he needs this is a win win, the boy is not getting into our starting 11 as it stands so I hope he has a good run with Hearts and catches the eye. Hopefully does well and gives MB a decision to make.

I like this move A he will get more game time with hearts B he won’t play against us and C he could hurt Celtic when he plays them so it’s a win win.


19.) 05 Aug 2023

Best of luck to him. I’m hearing shankland to come the other way when hearts get a replacement.

Yo Jim o, I’ve count The squad definitely 22. Named.

No different from prev Years.


21.) 05 Aug 2023

It’s up to him whether he gets game time or not if he works hard and performs he will play if he doesn’t then he won’t.

@John27, appreciate it may be the same as recent years. But I think our squads have looked really thin in Europe, and it hurt us badly in the Europa final (not having any actual strikers fit and available) . I just don't think we should be even considering throwing kids in to a champions league game, so need to be smarter with our 25, so that we've got experienced pros that can do a job when needed (even if they're not world beaters) .

I also think having more Scottish guys around the club can only be a good thing for the team's identity.

A good move for Lowry. It’s selfish to keep him for Euro quotient and not play him. He could turn out to be a star, but until he gets minutes on the pitch, we don’t know.

Funny I thought it was up to manager who plays not player ?

But I get what you mean he is skillfull enough lad and Great at playing ball through and could give hearts a bit of something different to what they have.

? Hearts manager has balls enough to play him would love seeing him do well.

Storm I'm happy when I see so ethi g in my team that I like or can see progress

Right now I see us going backwards

Tell me am I wrong?

1 nil Kilmarnock says it all

We need drastic improvement.

I'm a realist that's all.


Storm that's another error from your boy souttar in first game of season as he did last year and we are playing catch up again.

When you sign four forwards that's total goals are still ten less than kyogo scored in season and people are surprised we don't score against Kilmarnock. ?

Sorry but football ain't rocket science.
