Popular Post Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted March 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2018 Seems a decent lad. Love the lines in bold SCOTLAND new boy Oli McBurnie admits he dreams of playing for Rangers one day. Ibrox boss Graeme Murty showed interest in the Swansea hitman in January – before he moved to Barnsley on loan. McBurnie has been a success in the Championship but revealed his ambition is to star for his boyhood heroes. He said: “There were murmurs about Rangers in January but nothing ever happens easily or simply for me. “I got told about 3pm on deadline day that nothing was going to happen and I had a certain amount of clubs to pick from. “I ended up choosing Barnsley and it’s going well for me at the minute. “Would I play for Rangers down the line? Of course. “I grew up supporting them and one day I would love to pull on the jersey. “We’ll just have to see how my career goes and see if I am lucky enough to pull it on.” McBurnie was brought up in Leeds but gets his love of Gers from dad Neil and granny Morag. He said: “Why Rangers? I never really had any choice. “There are photos of me going into school in my Rangers tops and Scotland tops. “You always support who your old man supports, don’t you? I don’t think anyone has much choice. “I don’t hide it on social media. It helps that I’m in a different country. “If I was playing in Scotland, I don’t think I would be able to get away with it. “I like to have a good laugh on Twitter and Instagram with the fans. A bit of banter never hurt anyone. “I’m a Rangers fan. I’m not going to hide it. You get a bit of stick for it, but it is what it is. “Growing up, I loved Kris Boyd and Nikica Jelavic. I remember being gutted when he left to go to Everton. “There have been some ridiculously good players at Rangers over the years, but those were the ones I looked up to. “I was in the back garden shouting ‘JELAVIC!’ when I was younger playing football.” demise, RFC55, murzo and 16 others 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,647 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Has one year left on his contract and I’m sure Swansea rate him pretty highly. Never really bought into his hype but seems to be doing really well on loan at Barnsley. Hopefully he fulfills his potential and we manage to sign him up.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I always think that all players would’ve seen the 9 in a row team or advocaats team. Even the treble winning side of 03 was quite good! but I guess it shows my age that jelavic probably wouldn’t make it into my list of atleast 50 players I’ve seen for us either in person or tv. dougie76, Amac9 and AlbertzLoyalRSC 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice words from the lad he understands, you don't choose Rangers, you are privileged to be chosen as a Ranger. We support 2 teams, Rangers and Rangers reserves. Well done to his old man and granny for keeping the boy on the straight and narrow. As for his footballing ability well he has a bit to go yet, he has a lot of hype but from what I've seen of him he never really stands out in a game. He is young tho and with his attitude he could well be an assett for us in the future. Tiger Shaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm now starting to see players in the squad who kids want to be. Among the younger support McKay seemed to genuinely excite them so it is good to see they can still get excited by players.

He's been a championship player of the month. I'd love to see him at ibrox. He would be a different option in attack and I think he would work well with either cummings or morloes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
