5-0 win in the friendly against Coleraine. Apparently Kranjcar was different class. He could be an important player if he stays fit even if he doesn't complete 90 minutes all the time. And I see young Hardie scored in the friendly. Got to give him a run in the first team squad surely.

You don't get a run in a squad. He'll not be making the first eleven any time soon, so a loan deal at a decent level would suit everyone better.

MOH also scored from right back, not an indicator of much imo! Hardie is never getting a game when we Herrera, Morelos, Miller, Waghorn and Garner still a Rangers player!

Nice to see the positive attitude towards our youngsters persists. Hardie has got to be better than the useless Waghorn and Garner. What do we do, loan him out forever? Injuries do happen and having Hardie at the club as back up is important.

DOIGER we all want to see the youngsters do well but he didn't set the Scottish Championship ablaze last year so doubt he'd be doing it for us this year. Anyway, he's fifth choice at best so even if PC plays 2 up top he's not going to be playing much!

Hardie is a better finisher than both waghorn and garner and should be in the squad as back up

better having hardie out on loan and playing that sitting on the bench and playing development footy. Hopefully he could play at a higher level as in Top championship or bottom premiership club. If not maybe send him down south for a loan.

What an idiotic argument, DOIGER. There will be young players involved because they are at that level or very close to it, kids like Bargonas, Beerman, Bates and a couple of others. Hardie is miles away, have you ever actually seen him? He was below average last season in the Championship! Has he all of a sudden improved by about 200%? The only negativity here is your incessant whining about one boy whern there will be at least five figuring in the first team squad next season.

wee-ecky. What does the 'wee' refer to? I wonder. But lowering the tone of a free debate is crass. I am entitled to my opinion just as you are. Having suffered watching Waghorn and Garner and their pathetic efforts in front of goal Hardie I'm sure couldn't do worse. I accept that the new signings are ahead of him in the pecking order. I hope for Pedro's sake that the new boys do the business. Why have you got to be about 24 years old to be allowed to play in the first team.

I wonder what Pedro is thinking in regards to playing O'halloran at RB? By all accounts I thought he was off but using him in a pre-season game and especially at RB does throw me.
Surely he can't be thinking of actually trying to convert him?
Im really hoping that we have Clubs lined up for players to go on loan if we cannot move them on and I thought O'halloran would prob be one of yhe most difficult as we paid 500k for him and is prob on wages he won't get in a league he may end up in. So we would be taking a hit in the Transfer Fee and may need to pay him X amount regarding loss of earnings. Frustrating as he did look promising and maybe a loan move could benefit all parties?
Regarding the other players who are not in Pedro's plans OR guys like Rudden Diamond even Dodoo should be used on loan to get in a young player like Knox. We could even let Livingston keep him for the Season and develop

Andy. I would think that he played MOH there so that Tav didn't need to play the whole 90 mins. Hodson has only come back from Int duty and was no doubt being rested.

Yeah Parky but I would have just thought that using an Aiden Wilson or another up and coming player who holds that position. Prob nothing in it.
Wonder if there was anybody watching the game from Clubs poss interested in taking players on loan?

Hardie was below average last season? He was raiths best player and that's coming from raith fans. For whatever reason Hughes didn't fancy him but whenever he played he scored. he's a natural goalscorer. I don't know if he's ready for first team or not but with morelos and Herrera coming in and Miller likely to take a back seat I'd have Hardie before Waghorn and garner any day as he surely can't be any worse and at least he's young and Scottish with a bit of sell on value of he improves.
