shaka 1,670 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The best thing is that he is still young, so we've not seen the best of him yet. When he reaches his peak he will be sensational, easily valued over £10million. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly he will leave us eventually, let's hope we get what he is worth and more, but while he is here let's sit back and enjoy a true talent in a Rangers jersey. Its just a delight to watch potential improve and flourish (physically, mentally and technically) - like you say thats what happens when you have the right manager in place. It saddens me think how many Barry's have passed through our club in the last (?) years - Unidentified and not developed to fulfil their potential. We should never ever return to that position again!

At the very least let him left 55 because he stayed with us through the lower leagues and although he was shipped out on loan, it would've been easy for him to go sign with another club. And he may feel indebted to Mr Warburton for having such faith in him and bringing out the best in the young lad. But people taking noticed isn't a bad thing, it shows he'd doing things right.

We've been deprived of genuine talent this last 4 years that I for one want to be greedy and want him to stay for many years, unfortunately the money in the EPL will mean he goes there sooner rather than later if he keeps on improving. Having said that I believe Forrester is more than capable of filling Barries shoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may want to stay with us a couple more years and experience European football, though. We can only hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imodium 410 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 He looks a much more physical presence and his work rate is top notch. The wee guy has star potential and will easily hit 10-15 goals this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If Barrie can add more goals to his game then there is no limit to how far he can progress in the game . He has a great first touch , always plays with the head up looking for the best option and personally I love it when he knows he's got the beating of the full back and the defender knows it too , like when he nutmegged the annan player the other night . A wee bit more swagger and arrogance at times would be good , but all in all it's great to see how far he has come in just over 12 months , credit to the management team for having faith in him and credit to the boy for taking the chance he was given .

IanFerguson2013 396 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 He is at serious risk of being an all time Rangers legend if he keeps up the level of play and stays around. I still remember the cheers and claps when he came on as a sub during many a drab 3rd division match. He lit up the match with his skill even then.

Rangers Lady 2,380 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I will never say told you so again after this I was the most vocal in here back in division 3 and was constantly shot down He has the touch and swagger you can never teach to a Nicky Clark, I was desperate for him to be recalled for the first game v them How he was sent on on loan given the players we “bought” to replace him is a disgrace Fuck the story that his attitude was wrong, we needed him back then & the right people could have sorted it out Happy now, those who couldn’t see it before and dissed the boy need to find another sport to comment on cause your football brain is shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,394 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 His passing is outstanding at times. He hit a few diagonal passes last night from deep in midfield right into the oncoming players patjh and did it with so much ease and a bit of swagger. One which led to Dodoo's goal. I thought he looked a good player first time I seen him play as he had that natural ability that can't be taught however the steps he's taken this past year have been incredible. Genuinely would be the first name on my team sheet right now on ability and form. Has everything in his locker and the work rate he has now is outstanding. My favourite trait of his is tracking back, winning the ball and then rather than just passing the ball to the closest person he always looks up and forward to get a move going. Shows desire and confidence. Great talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Some of the comments and opinions on McKay only 6 or 7 months ago were ridiculous. Anyone could see there was a player developing there, but as is too often the case he was a young player being criticised too much, and his weaknesses were being seen more clearly than his progress (which was substantial, given where he was 6 months before that). We gotta be more patient with young guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 So glad it's now working out for wee Barrie,as someone else pointed out (ian ferguson?) He was a shining light in the dark days. What happened between then and now happened and there's no point fwelling on McCoists treatment of the boy. I think there was an interview with him and Barrie himself admitted that even though his loan form was poor,he went and seen what lay in store if he didn't take his chance at Ibrox. Then the gaffer and big Davie came in and gave him his chance,instilled a confidence and belief in the boy that maybe he himself never thought he would have again. Brilliant for all concerned the turnaround ,not least us fans,in the wee mans fortunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lau03143 84 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Warburton put his faith in him last season and he's repaid that faith in full. He has so much potential, and I'm sure he'll grow into a key player for us and for Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
