Rangers Rumours Archive July 03 2015

Reported that Gordon Durie and Jim Hendry fitness coach have left the club, after witnessing last seasons fitness levels Hendry should have been let go when the other 11 were let go.

All the best to Jukebox, great guy who deserves a chance to shine elsewhere.

03 Jul 2015 19:10:37
If it true then good luck Gordon not sure what you've done wrong, I'm hoping this Is not paving the way for Captain Calamity coming back I for one won't be happy about it, if it happens maybe this was written into his contract as well!

I for 1 hope its true, they all need a kick up the arse evn the development squad, they need hard trained if they wanna go anywhere, last 3 seasons rangers has been an easy place and earning big bucks. I would play for rangers with no pay and I would burst my nuts of, walking out infront of the ibrox croud would be enough for me to play my very best

Boyd was 17st when he warmed up 4 sub in old firm game right in front of me. A joke!, (and he hadn't even been on holiday). Anyone involved or was complicit and at a top team in Europe should be fired. Plain and simple.

ACCEPTANCE MADE FOR 'TRUE' BLUES CAUGHT IN THE STRUGGLE

JUKE BOX 📻

John Eustace to train with the squad I next couple weeks as he tries to land a deal.

03 Jul 2015 14:53:04
i guess that is a good way for MW to see how he is doing fitness wise ect, apparently he got a bad injury last season, so asses him 1stly is a wise move

03 Jul 2015 16:24:33
If only we had done this with Daniel Prodan, this is the difference between old regime and new.

03 Jul 2015 17:52:22
RAN
Apparently we took a calculated risk KNOWING about Prodan and hoping he would come good, the rest as they say.

03 Jul 2015 20:50:29
True story is that his agent had falsified medical report made to say he was recovering, hiding the fact he really only had a 20% chance of playing.

03 Jul 2015 12:01:27
Any news on how Andy Halliday has done during his trial? Haven't heard much about him as all the talk seems to be about Reece Wabara.

I work with a Middlesbrough fan who says he's a good player but isn't one for tracking back. Not sure that would work for MW as he seems to like team players.

03 Jul 2015 13:37:54
He impressed mate been offered a deal from what I have been told by some mutual pals.

03 Jul 2015 14:18:14
Good stuff, bring him in and hopefully get rid of mackay and aird.

03 Jul 2015 14:39:59
whats wrong with Mckay and Aird exactly? not been given much first team action over the past season or two. I think they will be very good players when given a run.

people are too quick to write players off as being garbage.

03 Jul 2015 14:52:16
McKay yes, Aird a big fat naw!!

03 Jul 2015 16:51:25
Aird has had plenty of chances. He couldn't cross a road.

Mackay as I have stated in previous posts I have a few friends who are raith fans and not one of them has a good word to say about him. If he didn't stand out at raith or wasn't able to become a regular first team player there and he wasn't rated by their fans I'd say that's a good enough reason to assume he won't make the grade at ibrox. Aye he had a handful of half decent games against in division 3 against the likes of montrose and elgin but if I was playing for rangers in that league I'd have looked a no bad player

03 Jul 2015 16:54:26
Ps

Aird has played 81 games in 3 seasons for us in all competitions. I reckon he's had his chance.

03 Jul 2015 15:40:18
I agree stevemac in regards to mckay but aird is very 1 dimensional and he had a long run in the team he has a bit of pace but has no skill or finesse struggles to beat a man with very little technical ability , I don't want to get rid of him mind would like to see him after 6 months under some real coaches. Mckay impressed me in pre season last year then was farmed out I think he could be a star for the future if nutured right

03 Jul 2015 17:53:32
McKay lacks strength for the physical Scottish game. Aird is a bottler takes one tackle and he disappears out of a game. The boy Tom Walsh is twice the player and can't function left or right and cross a ball.

03 Jul 2015 17:56:39
Totally agree with azzlee the two of them are still young. Given some proper coaching and they might kick on McKay I reckon has more of a chance than aird though. I mean none of the younger generation had a chance at all under coisty .unless it was to hit the ball as high as you can

03 Jul 2015 17:59:02
Haha do none of you boys keep an eye out on boys when they are sent out on loan? What makes you think mackay has something when he was kept out the raith side by someone called Ryan Conroy and after a couple of runs in the side was deemed not got enough by their coaching staff and fans? If we signed a boy deemed not good enough by livingston/dumbarton/qots you would all be going daft and rightfully so, that's why I don't get the barrie mackay love in.

03 Jul 2015 23:53:13
I've said it before and I'll say it again MacKay will vanish out the pro game and end up in the juniors! He's not good enough and Aird ain't either. Both have pace but zero end product.

04 Jul 2015 21:21:24
Mackay not good enuff and aird my god the guy is a terrible player and the 5year deal he had been given is a joke!

05 Jul 2015 17:43:53
I suppose there is the chance Aird & McKay could shine under warburton but I have my doubts especially with Aird who can't cross a ball and like StuarcAC Says McKay isn't strong enough for me although I would like them to turn it round but like I said before I do have my doubts

05 Jul 2015 17:47:07
Sorry I got my statement wrong in my last post it was right about now who says McKay lacks strength which I agree with and not StuartAC

03 Jul 2015 08:30:52
Midfielder John Eustace will sign a one-year deal with Rangers within the next 24 hours to become Mark Warburton's third summer signing.

03 Jul 2015 14:29:47
I think this could be a great signing for us if we can get him fit plus Warburton rates him well for his experience alone. that's good enough for me guys. keep the faith

03 Jul 2015 14:46:20
his age thing is offputting, however if MW wants him I shall be happy as i'll be backing the new management team 100%
