Rangers to use Freddie woodman loan deal at killie as a way of scouting him and then sign him in the summer from Newcastle if he does well he has been mentioned as the next big goalie to come out of England so I hope this happened.
13 Jan 2017 13:35:16
If he's supposed to be the next best thing he wouldn't be on loan to Kilmarnock with all due respect. Again if he is the next best thing we won't have a hope in hell in signing him.
13 Jan 2017 16:26:36
Kasper Schmeichel and Darren Randolph both spent time in the SPL on loan and are now goalies I would take in a heartbeat. Don't be so quick to judge!
13 Jan 2017 23:30:24
Can't believe it has come to this. You have rangers fans asking fellow bears what they think of trying to sign Andy little. I know it's changed days and we're far off signing the quality that we have in the past but I think we need to push for a bit more than Andy little. I think every striker we have is better than him, although every striker we have are so far off the level we need to be at. TGF kenny miller. NO MORE pensioners or young lone players or out of contract hasbeens. I know you will have the folk who are gonnae give it all the " we don't have money" crap. But money needs spent or we will Just be another Aberdeen or hearts. We have to put a gap between us and the rest before we can even dream of competing with the manly mob.
13 Jan 2017 23:56:28
Can't see us doing business with Mike Ashley EVER!
14 Jan 2017 00:31:07
Have to be realistic when it comes to our budget at the moment we need investment but we won't get it until Ashley is out the picture and that not going anywhere fast so we do need to scrape the barrel for decent players who are out of contract or loan deals until we have the financial strength to spend more don't want to back down to the basement again so they can laugh it up
14 Jan 2017 10:58:36
Gaze I seem to remember a club in spl getting a goalkeeper on loan from Newcastle and then signing him and selling him for 10 million £s if only you had scouts that good
14 Jan 2017 16:54:45
I think I might just settle for having Scouts!

Matt Crooks has joined Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of the season
12 Jan 2017 18:10:22
Don't understand this one. The boy hasn't had a chance to prove his worth to the team, not to mention we need a defensive mid. We're playing Halliday out of position there and I can't think of any cover for him.
Hope he does well though.
12 Jan 2017 18:51:36
Your not the only one? It's pretty obv its crooks himself that asked to go out on loan, I just hope he gets lots of games and comes back in the summer time ready for pre season, I wish him well, but warbs seen him every day so he knows him more than I did.
12 Jan 2017 18:58:05
is it just a coincidence that we want there goalkeeper surley we should save the wages and promote a youth goalkeeper and we should have gave crooks a chance Warburton has made some baffling decisions in the transfer market and not playing players he buys
12 Jan 2017 19:02:28
Think he is away to build up his fitness, missed pre season etc
12 Jan 2017 19:31:39
Think it's for the best. The lads confidence is rock bottom after the Hearts game when I think he was thrown under a bus. The important goal from the next 12 matches is to secure 2nd place and go on a cup run. The 2 new lads will likely play in all games and with Windass fit and hopefully Rossiter returning we should be well covered. The objective for Crooks should be to get game time in and return stronger and confident to fight for a place in the team next season.
12 Jan 2017 19:34:39
I personaly don't think we will see Crooks play for Rangers again, he says he has been fit for two months so why has he not had a chance in his best position because Halliday has been rotten in DM for a while- also not fair on Halliday, playing him out of position for such a while, Warbs decisions can be strange at times and even with the two new midfield players coming in we still look really lightweight in midfield, no one to stamp their authority on the game. I will not be surprised to see the clear out continue with MOH next to go although he won't be missed, I've watched him every home game since he came and overall he has not been impressive.
12 Jan 2017 20:15:07
I have to believe that this is down to the fact that Crooks was injured, missed the preseason and consequently hasn't really had the time to get fully match fit. That has to be the only reason, surely, since it is simply illogical for Warburton to prefer Halliday, (who has been pretty hopeless all season), playing out of position when he has a player that has played in that role.
We have to hope that this will get Crooks back to full fitness so that he and a fit Rossiter can be our holding / defensive midfield pairing and we can then either try Halliday in his own position, (if he can still remember what that is)!
12 Jan 2017 21:12:44
Warbs will find a way to play Halliday no matter what because if yous can remember after the 5-1 game he said he knew he had made a mistake by leaving Halliday on the bench as he knows how much Rangers mean to him and he thought it was important to have guys like that playing
13 Jan 2017 11:10:45
He's not very good . Looking poor playing for the under 20s which is full of 16 and 17 year olds. Can't pass or control the ball very well and no presence for a boy his size. Before you ask yes I do watch all the 20s games as my because plays for them.
13 Jan 2017 13:45:52
He hasn't even played that much for the under 20s
13 Jan 2017 14:36:26
it could be more like we had to ign the 2 rather than wi ndass a if it was only fitness he could have been put on crash course t murray park to equal pre season
13 Jan 2017 16:11:32
i think signing the boy was a good idea and we are just unlucky it didn't work out I doubt he will be back.
only seen him once and he didn't impress and obviously hasn't been impressing in training or he would have got given his chance
13 Jan 2017 19:40:30
I doubt that Crooks has been fully match fit so far this season and I hope that he is back a better player and fully fit for the start of next season. With Crooks and Rossiter fully fit then we have two better players than Halliday in the Holding role and Halliday can prove himself in the actual position.
This failure to find a proper Holding Midfield player of quality has been one of Warburton's major failings!
13 Jan 2017 20:58:19
Cannot think of another player so few of us have actually seen play yet who almost everyone rates so highly. Really hope the boy gets his confidence back and returns focused, fit and ready for Europa qualifiers.
12 Jan 2017 12:59:48
Jon Toral has now signed on loan for us hope it works out
12 Jan 2017 13:25:33
Hope so too! he certainly looks the part
12 Jan 2017 18:22:34
He had a good record before he went to Granada if he can chip in with in some goals similar to his Brentford and birmingham loan deal that's what we need
