I'm sick of seeing everyone slating Andy Halliday on here. It was McKay getting ut earlier in the season and there's no argument he had a loss of form. He was dropped/ rested and we now seeing the real Mckay again. McKay played A LOT of games last year and we hardly got a decent break because of the cup. Halliday hasn't had the same rest because we don't have anyone else to play there. And when we had Barton, Halliday still played regularly but further forward. His performance in the old firm semi last year was outstanding (remember all the brown in his back pocket jokes? ) . He had plenty other excellent showings last season. I also don't think he has been any worse than Holt. That's up for debate. He hasn't lost that ability maybe he just needs dropped/ rested as well? That's the main point of this ridiculously long post. Excuse the essay bears.

Watch out mate you might get pulled up for being encouraging and supporting the team. I like him too mate for all the possession we have its really that 20/ 30 goal a season striker we are missing the rest of the team would get a lift from that especially when we have 70% possession the midfield are doing their job we just need to be finishing our chances and Kenny Miller definitely should not be slagged off the guy is immense but he has always been the workhorse that played along side the 30 goal a season man. i think if we got Coulibaly he would score for fun in a team that has so much possession.

I do agree but I think Garner needs time as well. Had a decent record at his old clubs. Just needs a couple of goals to get his confidence up I reckon. I wouldn't write Waggy off yet either. Our defence is awful though. I'd try Senderos. Guy hasn't had a chance and can't be worse than Kiernan.

Halliday and holt have both been average at best this season but neither of them are bad players. With the 2 loans i'd expect a lot more rotation and the best will show it. Coulibaly looks a good young player but pretty similar to dodoo and i think he'd be more a squad player than main striker. Amazed senderos hasn't been given a shot. or been released

Halliday has been poor this season especially in the old firm games. Both he and Holt can't cut it and need to be replaced.

We won't have a striker who can regularly bang in 20/ 30 goals a season with this system. We could get Messi and he would struggle!

As for Halliday, he should NEVER be played at DM, so I have sympathy for him. However, he is played at DM and his performances there have been dire!

They don't need replaced they just need someone behind them to defend both have always been attacking players

Halliday and Holt are championship quality at best. It's not being negative. It's a fact. Next game watch Halliday be more interested in getting rid of ball than doing something with it. He frequently out of position. I do believe he's only been playing because the first choice midfielders are injured.

And the point about Halliday having brown in back pocket etc. I do believe that was all banter because we won. Let's not forget Rangers rode their luck a bit in last season Scottish Cup semi. Yes we did play well for long spells but had luck on our side.

Holt shows decent movement but for me is also lightweight and has no power in his shots. We'll see how much of a difference the two loan signings make.

How people are picking on Halliday and Holt is madness the full team has been rubbish the only player with pass marks is fod. We have scored less than 30 goals this season, it is pathetic the defence is not the problem it's the forwards.

How can you say the defence isn't the problem when we have conceded a goal a game in the league? We have problems all over the pitch and Warburton hasn't addressed any of it

Our defence is nowhere near as bad as people make out, especially kiernan nearly every goal we conceded is due to tav. Our problem is scoring goals.

We've conceeded nearly as much as we have scored, so yes the defence is obviously a problem. The problem is warbs formation and tactics. Oh, and halliday is dreadful.
