So our captain Tav did indeed have a problem with appendix and Gerrard saying he had a procedure done which usually means it will have been removed
Doesn't sound like it burst but he had an issue which sound like appendicitis

Will be out couple weeks at least and helander a month or so before he's back

So I very much doubt any of our defenders will be sold this month no matter what money comes for Goldson or Borna
If there was ever any truth in bids coming for them

Docherty looks like will be going to Sunderland on loan hopefully the experience serves him well

Murphy obviously away to burton on loan also

Not sure why we can't sell players as I'm sure gerrard would prefer them sold than loaned out
But hopefully they play well someone comes and buys in summer as doesn't look like they will feature going forward

Fingers crossed no more injury problems for our First team as the league is in our own hands at the moment

Reiterate from a previous post please sign one more striker to cover injuries bans etc

And give us a bit more upfront when we need to change things etc.

would love to see the lad patterson get a run in the side ahead of flanagan. Polster also an option.

Dunfermline Polster not an option imo. Hardly trained, was off two weeks for wedding and did not to to Dubai as was away getting married.

It’s certainly the ideal tie for young Patterson to get game time. 👍.

With hellander being injured do we know if that will have any affect on either mccrorie [ possible recall] or young lewis mayo going on loan as we now only have goldson, katic and edmunson at CB. An injury could leave us a bit short.

I teally don't think we should be risking the young lad at such an important point in the season. I think it would be so unfair on him. No way Stevie will take a chance. Flanagan or Polster for me every time. Young Patterson will get his chance but not yet!

John25, Young Patterson looks ready and should play against Stranraer. Surprised Pollster not available and if not fit due to time off for wedding something wrong somewhere.

Bankie I think we are actively trying to move him on. My understanding was he did not go to Dubai unless anyone can advise otherwise.
I’d play boy against Stranraer, although I see Edmundson to start, so might not want to over change it.

@john25, a follow Polster on Instagram and you’re right from what I can see he was in Las Vegas for his wedding for the duration of the Dubai trip.

Deceee my understanding is he wanted two weeks off when we signed him. Strange.

Had a wee read up and in the mls at this point the season is over. He’s maybe already booked his wedding before he came to us. It’s like our players having their wedding in the summer when their are no games.

Yeah that sounds about right Deecee and the guy pre-warned the Gers🇬🇧.

Hence reason he has no future at Ibrox.

Going by Polster smashing glass under foot at wedding, he's Jewish, maybe that's why he didn't go to Dubai. Hopefully I'm wrong but a guy I worked with has a Jewish wife and whenever travelling to Australia they had to avoid Dubai because of it.

In fact it may have been because she was from Iran, more than likely but she is Jewish.

{Ed001's Note - there is no block on being a Jew in Dubai or any of the Emirates. Quite the opposite.}

I'd be away more than 2 weeks hanging out polsters wife.

That's good ed. As soon as I sent it I remembered he said it was due to her nationality and not her religion.

{Ed001's Note - that would make sense, but still only her choice as I know a lot of Iranians here. There is a Persian sweet shop just across the road for instance.}

My friends are Jews and live and work in Dubai, treated much better there than here.

Expect Edmundson and Jones to start against Stranraer in place of Katic and Kent. I expected young Paterson to be on the bench, with Tav now not available expect the young boy to also start.

MajorWhitey, correct, choosing wife before club. The boy is clearly not true blue.
