Walking On Water 35 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Brilliantly taken goal tonight against Hibs, been impressive on loan at Raith by all accounts also. Can we see him figuring in Caixinha's squad next season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 No we need better than him even as a third choice striker I doubt he will be good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Can't do any worse. The signs are there by giving Miller another year that investment on any sort of scale is not forthcoming so give the boy a chance. This is "the" year for him. If he doesn't make it at Rangers next season he never will imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I doubt it. Id probably loan him to a Premiership side (Assuming any were willing) and see if he does the business there otherwise I'd let him go. Thompson won't make it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't make it at Rangers next season he never will imo It depends what that will mean though. If he is very much part of the first team squad, surely that will mean he will have made it in some way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pud 10 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'd like to see the young fellow get his chance to impress the gaffer in the close season, those on loan deserve their chance as much as some of the players who've had the chance of a clean slate under Pedro and fucked it up.

bluenose48 951 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Got to be worth a run. At least he scores goals unlike Garner and Waghorn. Yes I know Wags is the top scorer but when we are just + 14, Aberdeen + 35 and the scum + 65 we need someone who can score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We've already got players that performed, and scored many goals, in the Championship. We need players that can score in the Premiership. We never realised that it was going to be more difficult to score in the Premiership, we thought it wasn't a big step up. However, defences in the Premiership are better organised, and all the players are full time. The Premiership is a bigger step up, from the Championship, than I thought it would be. I'm not saying that it's a massive step up, just that they're a lot better at parking the bus, then steal a goal from a break away. Maybe Premiership teams were more prepared for Rangers, than we were for the Premiership??? I never once called The Premiership, SPL, because the SPL is dead. I recall, in 2012, saying to a Facebook 'friend' that Rangers would be alive and kicking, long after the SPL was dead, and I was correct. I know that the SPL was just re-branded, and is now the SPFL, but I need to hold onto these small victories, it gives me hope that all is not lost...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'd rather we brought in a host of new forwards. Given that's unlikely, everyone that's on our books including Hardie Thomson and Crooks should be getting assessed the now and should have a fair crack at winning a squad place come preseason. If they aren't cutting it let them go or get them sold, no good being here getting loaned out every season with no chance of making it. I like the boy, think there's a player in there, the only way we'll ever find out if he's good enough is if he's given this opportunity.

Well, I like him too, but not that . He has less than 1-in-2 at Scottish Championship level. I don't think he's good enough but we'll see.

Travelrug 268 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I think it is worth taking a chance with the lad for next season. Being on loan may be good in some respects in that they are involved in competitive games however I am not sure that they are fully settled in their respective teams (especially if they are still doing part of their training with us). Working full time with the first team could give us positive progression. I get frustrated with the amount of our youths who get released and then go onto find success (Dorrans is a prime example at the moment). I would just like a manager to have the balls to take a chance on some of our younger players and give them a decent chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know so I won't hold it against him. From what I saw of him with us he was instinctive and direct. Just lightweight. Don't know why you'd disagree with the opportunity to give him a crack at it preseason. But it's all ifs buts and maybes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Think he'd be better leaving permenantly and trying to get 1 of the better Championship sides to take him on. We have a few forwards that are already here and we'll maybe get rid of 1 of them and add more. How much game time would Hardie see if he stays? Not much. If he goes on another loan he'd be as well going permenantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Next season isn't the time for blooding in youth, I'm afraid. To be honest, dependent on how we progress, the next few seasons might be bleak for youth development, coinciding with this new under-17s playing for the under-20s set-up. We need to start winning; end of. As someone else suggested; send Hardie out on loan to a Premiership side - an Inverness, a Killie or whoever - and see how he copes at this level.

Cannot see the boy cutting it in the top flight sadly. 6 goals from 16 appearances, only 11 starts in a team fighting relegation is pretty impressive regardless of what anyone thinks of his ability. I wouldn't judge him for his time at St Mirren because they were a train wreck when he was there, even though he got 3 goals in 8 appearances.

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 From what I've seen of him he's a goalscorer and nothing more. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I think that'll be what goes against him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Think he'll definitely be given a fair crack of the whip by Pedro. Don't think he's what we need though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerramjet25 44 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Lad will never get a chance with us, best for him to move on and get regular 1st team football and make a good career and living out the game at a slightly lesser level Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
