First time poster long time reader and all that. Just wondered what everyone thinks about loaning players to lower league English teams surely premier Scottish teams would lap most of our fringe players up and strengthen them against the enemy. Reason I'm asking is docherty rossiter and Holt all did well but still not sure whether they'll make the grade.

I personally think that greg docherty will make the grade at rangers. If rossiter is completely over his injury problems, them i feel he has every chance of making the grade at ibrox also.

You're probably right about rossiter and docherty point i'm really making is docherty had a great year down South has his value increased? Turnbull worth 3 mil playing for Motherwell would the spl not be the better option for our loan players?

I hope docherty makes it, I'm not too sure about rossiter tho. They both done well in low leagues in england, not really a measurable standard. Hopefully a good pre season under them and we will have a couple of gems.

Totally agree bearwith55. We should loan players to SPFL clubs to strengthen them against Celtic and then put a clause in that they can’t play against us.

Welcome to you Bear. Some great points. I think Doc will be a star for us in time and in my opinion is already worth more than Turnbull based on the season just finished. Apples and oranges as different positions but either way, we have a top young player and I think he’ll get game time. Welcome to the forum.

Tbh I can't see Docherty ever really getting the chance, which is a shame because I like him as a player. Since he's gone out on loan he's fallen further down the order with the signings of kamara and davis and if aribo signs he'll drop further. I don't think any player who's 22/ 23 will want to be heading out on loan as they should be looking to establish themselves permanently at that age. He's a wee bit in no man's land at the moment where it's hard to see the best solution for him.

Agreed Zikos put clauses in the contracts for various reasons but mainly not playing against us. In Rangers/ Stevie G we trust. Excited for the new season can't wait for the start.
