A 28 year Indian striker come on why hasn't he been picked up at that age? Sounds like another kerkar, healy, mckay etc, etc, cheap bench warmers

Mckay? give the guy time. he has only played one match and he wasnt that bad... think you mean ortiz mate

Cmon give the guy a break are you saying this indians a cowboy.

Good post above mckay aussie player of the year,no mug like! Only not played coz been unfit saw him play a few times looks a player. El tel

He may just have reservations

Who is this indian lad then is it Chikta Kormaz or Tikkti Msallah? {Ed014's Note - They are Jeje Lalpekhlua a 20 year old striker/winger and Sunil Chhetri a 27 year old striker.

We,ll guard old Delhi,s wall.......les

Very niavie responses to this news

1. Would you bring a 20 year old half way around the world on his own?

2. Next to China, India is the largest, fastest growing economy. If you are looking to generate interest in an area like this, is there a better way than having some of their players in your squad?

What's the harm in taking a look at these lads?. Might be able to do a job and as said above the marketing opportunity would be immense. That's it im off for a curry.

Give the guys a chance,would not be a bad move,India is a massive football country,why not get them into Rangers rather than an English prem team,nothing ventured nothing gained.Good luck to them.

Who next ? General George Custer, or Sitting Bull, are we that skint, or maybe we are the daft ones, India is where the big backers are, Mr Whyte isn't stupid.

Can't you see imagine the world wide audience seeing the cowboys (american lads) playing with the indians

We have no money lads we will only sign them if the spice is right

LAWL to the above comment!

Yeah they must be good players one of them got dropped from the mighty Kansas City in the hugely respected USA football league!!
LOL clowns

Are you all gonna curry on with these jokes

Is the 20 20 season finished? graeme

I live close to murray park so i might have a donner over to watch them train

Don't see why every one is slating these guys before they have even been on trial.

Yea i realise the elder of the two at 27/28 is not very likely to be any thing special but the younger boy could be a very good find for the SPL. The standards of our league has drop. If this young boy is more than capable of playing in the SPL then i shall welcome him with open arms.

As has been mentioned the money which could be available from expanding in to emerging economies such as India is huge.

Plus on the subject of the younger one his stats if correct are nothing to turn your nose up at regardless to which league or country they play for.

Maybe we have finally seen the light & realised there is large Indian (not native American for all the idiots talking about Sitting Bull etc) community in Glasgow.If Rangers were to sign Indian players, new supporters from Glasgow's vast Indian population would be flocking to Ibrox. We should also be looking for players in Pakistan or Glasgow born Pakistanis(the Pakistani community is bigger than the Indians) so more fans heading to Ibrox. To those (Rangers fans?) who live in 17th century (catch up-you're getting left behind) ,we live in a multicultural society & we should embrace these people & welcome them into the 21st century Rangers F.C. family. We should have done this years ago!!!!

The standard of our league has undoubtedly dropped, but not to this extent. The guys both have a good goal scoring record, but you have to look at the opposition they are playing against. Most of the goals ive seen on youtube from them the quality of the football is dire. Makes a very average player look half decent.

Now I'm not going to kid on I know anything about these guys, but for those with reservations about the guy's age, Dado Prso was 'found' at 27, and he turned out alright, did he not? Let's give them a chance {Ed014's Note - I think you should check your facts on that one.Prso was 22 when he signed for Monaco and was 29/30 when he signed for us.

When fans mention Sitting Bull, it's only in jest, we know sub-continent Indians from the American native Red man, so lighten up out there, it's just fun, I hope these guys make it with the Gers, I wouldn't care if they're from Timbukto as long as they take pride in the shirt, Ally is going the right way remember we are in a tight spot just now and we MUST be realistic, we just haven't got the cash for the big boys

ED, Prso signed for Monaco at young age but was really just in their reserve teams and also farmed out to lower league teams in France. The poster means no one really knew about him till he was 27/28 and he played for Monaco on the way to the CL final.

4INAROW {Ed014's Note - He played over 100 games for Monaco and went out on loan for 2 seasons to Ajicca when he was 23 before returning to play for Monaco for 5 years.He also played at Euro 2004 for Croatia,scoring against France.He was a well known player before Rangers signed him and I'm 99% sure the CL final was his last game for Monaco?

Everyone stop banging on about age,if the boys 27 then so what,late developer or who cares,as long as he,s good enough id take him.at least 6 years of football in him and who remembers sceptic buying an old player called moravjic.he came from obscurity and seemed to do pretty well.have to admit the marketing oppurtunities are sure to have been a major part in looking there.investment oppurtunities may present themselves also.

Saw in the papers that their clubs are looking for a fee,so that will be the end of that
