Beaujolais 1,371 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 As Halliday is still on our books we have to try and get the best out of him. At worse he can provide cover, and at best maybe we can improve him as a player which would strengthen the squad and add value should we move him on at some point. What is clear this is a last chance saloon opportunity for Halliday to prove himself in a Rangers jersey. Given our recent history with Managers and in particular Pedro C’s attitude to players who he did not want (clear them out/ sell them cheap rather than actually try to coach them) I do have some sympathy for Halliday. However we are equally good at building guys up (and in Halliday case it was on little substance and the fact he is a local Rangers fan) and then knocking them down after a few weak performances- Halliday seemed to think at one point he was bigger than his boots- but our PR/ Media department seemed to drive that more than the player. I wish him well and hope he takes this opportunity to prove himself at Rangers on pure footballing merit. Halliday is the sort of player that Nicholl may be a very positive influence on.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 He is not good enough to play for our team, and should be loaned out again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We are short of options in midfield and as we have him under contract then it's worth giving him a chance. He should be playing left side midfield definitely not a holding midfielder as he had a good run in that position and failed. He also could possibly be used as cover at LB. However I hope he makes more effort in tracking back than he did in the 2-0 loss last season to celtic. As a Rangers supporter as he is the least expected is effort and that game he should hang his head in shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1994 4,302 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 See if it wasn't for the fact he's "one of our own" absolutely no one would want him near here based on what we've seen. I very much doubt he's improved by not playing in Azerbijan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 BBC claiming Rangers want MOH back in January but St.Johnstone are keen to have him for the rest of the season. Murty should just bring them all back and give them one last chance. Halliday, MOH, Forrester, and Dodoo. They failed under Warburton, Pedro, and if they fail under Murty they should be booted out for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what exactly? He's done nothing against them whenever he's played other than a decent performance in the semi final almost 2 years ago which he's still living off of. And even that is mostly down to him growling at Brown in the pre match handshakes because Dominic Ball was the star man in midfield that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 He's fucking rank rotten and does nothing to back up his claim of being a big Rangers man. If he puts more of an effort in and plays better then I'll give him his dues. It's up to him to show everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're 4 of the names I wanted gone first jn the summer.
