Not rocket science but bringing even 1 South American to Ibrox was a huge gamble. How many actually achieve in Scottish football. To bring in so many was mismanagement. Dalcio looks a total dud, but then he was a second team player at Benfica!

Alves will be good, Cardosa looks fine, Jack and Dorrans are quality, but over the rest lies a huge question mark! And on that rests Pedro's future. They flop and he won't last till Xmas!
50/ 50 in my view!

Totally agree! Spent a few quid on Pena by all accounts so its essential he's the real deal. Fingers crossed but how many South Americans have been a success in Scotland?

I will support PC as long as I can but not convinced at all. I would be happier if I had an idea what his play style/ tactics are meant to be. Gave him the benefit of the doubt last season but early evidence looks the same. Hopefully it will look different once they are all settled with a pre season under them.

Mexico is not in South America lads. Herrera and Pena are two physical players which is exactly what we need in those positions. We will be solid in central areas this year, our main worry is the flanks (left side is biggest worry) . If we can get Herrera and Morales (who is South American :-) ) to click with Miller giving us 30 minutes when required then we will give a few teams a doing. but the team need two months minimum to gel.

On another note, Wallace needs to concentrate on his game now, time to give up the captaincy and let Alves control the troops.

Even less successful Central Americans in Scotland Bazza! haha

Aye both look like big boys. Not seen much Mexican football but my concern would be the pace of the SPL for them. Must say though iv had a good feeling about Pena since he signed, hope i'm right.

Don't like to judge too harshly after 2 games but Dalcio doesn't look the answer to anything.

Agreed on Wallace. Been a great servant but way off the pace the last year.

True not many successful Central Americans in Scottish football but I zaguirre (Honduran not Mexican I know) came over and won Player of the Year in his first season in 2011 so why can't Herrera or Pena do the same!
