TexasGers 96 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 MW has talked a lot about loan signings as being an important part of his recruitment philosophy, and we've already seen that with Oduwa and Ball coming in, and perhaps a few more in the next week or two. It got me thinking- who has been the most successful loan signing in Rangers history? I'm hesitant to include Steven Davis since he ended up signing permanently, more guys that came in for one or two years and then left. The more recent ones I could think of (Aaron, Bardsley/Martin, Amdy Faye, etc.) were hardly impact signings so perhaps I'm forgetting some?

stewaj3 1,446 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Weiss, diouf, djordic, Dibble, Andy Webster (signed permanently)The best was of course richard foster who we waited years after loaning him to finally get our man signed up on a permanent deal.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Davis I'm not a huge fan of loan deals unless it is like Davis - an extended trial! While bringing in young talent is exciting - it's developing others assets - however it seems to be part of the modern development frame work and we take and give loan players so we / I just have to accept it.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Steven Davis, without a shadow of a doubt. It's a shame that, as club captain, he turned his back on us.A special mention must go to Vlad Weiss. His humiliation of Hamilton, his goal on that cold night in Motherwell, his game-changing arrival in the CIS Cup final against Celtic at Hampden and of course, his love for the club.For a privileged, no doubt spoiled Man City youth who's dad was his country's national manager, he didn't half fall in love with our club.
