iang2911 423 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Loan for initial one month. Just found itEXCLUSIVE Morton make double signingJonathan Mitchell Social networks...

Share this imageMORTON yesterday completed the signings of Rangers starlet Barrie McKay and former Ibrox defender Darren Cole, the Tele understands.Attacking midfielder McKay made an impact with the Glasgow outfit last term, making 41 first-team appearances as they lifted the Third Division championship.His displays wide on the right or off a main striker saw him receive international recognition at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-21 level with Scotland. The 18-year-old, who penned a five-year contract with Ally McCoist’s men in September 2012, has seen less action this term and is believed to have agreed an initial one-month loan with Ton. Free agent Cole, meanwhile, is thought to have penned a contract which will tie him to the Cappielow club until the end of the current campaign. The versatile defender came through the youth ranks at Murray Park and made five first-team appearances in his three years as a full-time professional with the club.Cole, who made his Rangers debut in a Champions League clash with Bursaspor of Turkey in 2010, also had a spell on loan with Partick Thistle.In his four months with the Jags, Cole made six appearances, one of which came in a 0-0 draw with Morton at Firhill in February 2012. The 21-year-old featured at centre-half — he is also comfortable at right-back — and was one of Thistle’s best performers as the sides shared the spoils. Cole counts current Ton striker Archie Campbell as a close friend from their time together at Ibrox, and it is understood that he was keen to find a club after his release from Rangers back in August.

STEPPS BOY 73,798 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Correct decision,It would be difficult for McKay to force himself into team on wing ahead of Peralta,Little and Steven Smith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 No sure about this one ... in some ways it's good and in other ways I'm unhappy.That's pretty much how I feel. It'll be good to see him get games, and good that it's in a higher league. I'd have liked him to be getting more game time with us though. I think he has ability and should have been given more opportunities with us. He's been allowed to stagnate for too long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Barry needs first team action and could probably get it in our own team.If Darren had a better attitude he could also be playing right back for us just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Well if our manager doesn't rate him then he is as well trying his luck elsewhere. I wonder if the Easdales are helping financing this loan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I don't quite get the comparisons with McCulloch here. Are you suggesting we play McKay at centre half? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 McKay hasn't shown anything in the U20s that makes me think he should be in the first team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 No, it's just another reminder of the mind set of the management team.Which is? Because from where I'm sitting letting boys like McKay and Gasparotto go get first team football when they aren't doing enough to get into our side yet is a good thing for their development.

I don't see the what the fuss is about . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Rd 2,860 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 maybe a better coach will let these guys play in the positions they should be playing for us.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB 599 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I like wee Barry, but he was a one trick pony and was quickly found out. I hope he develops more to his game. Another one who should have been spending more time at Auchenhowie in the afternoons working on technical skills. Hopefully Darren Cole has been brought back to earth with a bump and it has effected a change in attitude which will see him well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
