RFC55 108,733 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 According to Ray McKinnon. Seems a superb bunch coming though at the younger age groups. Lots of players with huge potential let's hope one of.them can end up playing at the highest level for us Rangers starlet Zak Rudden can become a “top, top player” according to Falkirk gaffer Ray McKinnon. Rudden, 18, joined the Bairns on a six-month loan in the last transfer window. And he’s already impressed in the Scottish Championship, scoring three goals in three games for McKinnon’s struggling side. The former Morton boss told the Falkirk Herald: “For an 18 year old to have the knack of scoring goals and being in the right place at the right time, and as I keep saying his work rate is phenomenal. “He is just going to get better and better. “In the next two or three years he will really improve, be that at Rangers or somewhere else. He can become a top, top player. Zak has been brilliant for us. “He is only 18 years of age but he has an absolute desire to play football and a desire to score goals and work hard and that is a great, great attitude. He also has three goals in three games which you can’t argue with – and obviously we hope he can continue in that vein of form The thing about Zak though is he has the right temperament and that is the right key to his success. “His attitude is top-class and his willingness to work hard is top class and that’s why he’s scoring goals. Scotland U-19 star Rudden – whose Gers inspiration is Ally McCoist – scored for Steven Gerrard’s first-team during a summer friendly against Bury. Gerrard said: “It’s his first goal here at Ibrox and I’m sure it’s going to be the first of many.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,923 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I know it would probably have been too early for him, but with Lafferty cup-tied and Morelos suspended, I would have liked to see him lead the line. He could have been that striker we are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't think it's usual or needed for a manager who is praising our loaned player to comment on that player becoming a big player anywhere other than here.

BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I wonder if he'll come into the 1st team January. I'd be surprised if Sadiq is still with us after January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, c'mon to fuck, you called him an arsehole for his comments which weren't really out of order imo. He's simply praising the boy and I don't think there's any malice whatsoever in what he said. Look at the promising players we have had in the past that just couldn't break into our team and had to leave to further their careers, it's not exactly uncommon.

BlueMe 25,327 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I would have Rudden on the bench before Sadiq. Hopefully he gets a chance when he comes back in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not about whether he will or wont make it with us. Its about a manager who has been loaned one of our most exciting prospects commenting about him going somewhere else to succeed. Could have easily said he's a great prospect and will go onto great things with us. The elsewhere part for me is unnecessary. Not a big deal, just cheap from him considering we've loaned him the player. And makes him an arsehole for feeling the need not to play the game and praise the player and loanee club and leave it at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
