Questions about the 2 young lads on loan for six months. Will they adapt to Scottish football? Will they get injured as that seems to be the norm, wether it's playing or at training? Will they indeed get a game? 6 months loan deals, is that what Rangers are reduced to?

Well it's the easiest thing they can access right now, so if it works for this season and helps us in midfield and to get 2nd, fair enough.

Gor, to your final question, the answer is undoubtedly, YES we are. Sad but true, we are a total joke.

When we should be building for the future were reduced to short term fixes. These players who are on loan will need replaced next season and we need to start all over again. not good

More people would be laughing if we were pissing money that we don't have up the wall.

I definitely disagree that we are a joke. We are second in our first season back and we are halfway through the season.

This ridiculous arrogance is what nearly cost us our club in the first place.

If there is money to spend on players, it will be. Hopefully King prioritises paying wages, bills and running the club on and off the pitch before buying players we shouldn't.

I totally agree with the short term loans at the moment hopefully be enough to secure us the second spot. Then next season when we hopefully progress to group stages in Europe we can start to build a better squad and add some quality. Having the Europe carrot will help bring in a better standard of player. As for king and Co all the fans that keep getting on his case I really don't understand. How many players have been signed since he took control no other club in scotland have matched us with signing and all of this has been done with no European money or merchandise money. I think these fans want him to pump 20 to 30 million instantly and what if that doesn't work out as money doesn't always get u success. There isn't a line of investors out there ready to pump money into the club. All I can say is well done to the board keep up the great work and keep improving our team

Hang on Arafat bob your comparing apples with oranges. because some folk want a bit of investment doesn't mean they are advocating the nonsense fees of the past. Calm yourself down your always ranting like this, we only want a bit of investment in our beloved team is that so wrong?

Some fans here are agreeing these short term loans are ok. I have to disagree for a few reasons. Hopefully we will finish 2nd and have european football. Those rounds are going to start sometime in June so we are going to have new experienced players in place, not more any kind of loans.

We need players of quality if we want to progress in europe. There are 4 qualifying rounds to get through then you start making money. In my opinion we will be back to the same position as we were in the summer try to get new players and for the team to gel before the qualifiers begin.

Your in fantasy land if you think qualifying for the preliminary rounds will get a better type of player in. The qualifying rounds. The current squad is no better than the Aberdeen or Hearts teams and neither of them got anywhere near the group stages. Unless we actually qualify for the group stages there is no money to be made in the europa league so don't bank on that for money or players.

Spencer65,

I have to ignore what you are saying because you clearly haven't read any of my other posts.

Everyone wants investment, in my original post I am talking about investment (wages and bills are investing in people and infrastructure)

I can't say I have ever read anything from yourself, you seem well informed though and I look forward to seeing your opinion on other posts.

Some money has to be made available for players either in the summer, or preferably in the run up to the end of season and we need to be bringing in players on pre-contracts that will serve us well for maybe a season that can then be sold on at a substantial profit.

That money can then be reinvested in better players and so on.

As I understand it, McParland was brought in because of his ability to find quality young players, well it is about time we saw this in reality!

If we are to challenge Celtic next season and put some distance between us and the rest of their challengers and if we are to do anything in Europe then we will need at least four quality players for next season including a centre back, a Holding Midfield player, a central midfield played and a striker and that presupposes that guys like Rossiter will be fit, that Crooks will come back and that Krancjar returns fully match fit.

We need to replace Miller with a quality striker, we can't expect him to be our best attacker every season!, if we don't keep the two lads that are on loan then we need to replace them with the same or a better standard. We need to replace Hill and they need to be a first team starter and we must replace Halliday.

Stewie25, we have got a better squad than both aberdeen and hearts and have no doubt they'll go on to prove it, by finishing 2nd in the league! A wee trip to specsavers wouldn't go amiss for your good self mate!

@ Tomusa.

I don't think McParland is quite what people suggest he is either. However I do think we lack a scouting system to support him fully. Which is a disgrace really. The money that went out to Barton could have helped go towards a proper scouting network!
