graeme_4 34,526 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Few posts on FF and social media outlets that McCrorie has asked to leave due to lack of game time. Can’t remember the details but sure there was a story around him being pretty vocal with his displeasure at not being in the team at a club function. I don’t think he’s a toys out the pram style guy, but he’s not really been very involved this year. He’s physical, hardworking and would run through a brick wall for Rangers, but he lacks the ability to play in CM for us. Just isn’t good enough with the ball. Question is, what’s next for him? Sporadic appearances in our 11, position change (he’s been at CH and RB in our reserves I think), out in loan, sold? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .Williamson. 82,208 Posted April 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2019 He should be kept and we should tell Davis to fuck off, even if we don't intend on getting rid of him just tell him to fuck off Malvern, BridgeIsBlue, Gascoigne8 and 12 others 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 He's definitely not toys oot pram. He's understandably frustrated at lack of game time, which is important at his age. He's not that young any more. Needs to play now and he knows it. The boy wants to stay at us and be a success for us, cause he's a genuine Bear from a genuine Bear family, but he needs to think about his career.

Smile 26,606 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 One of the most improved players this season under Gerrard but still needs more work on his game to be the first pick every week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 We need better. If he’s not happy being a squad player then he can leave. Amato, Bearsden bear and lerxst 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,723 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 He's good in a role we dont too often need, not as good as others in the role we more often use. Needs to improve, or fair enough he can go. bob1873 and KingKaiJohansen 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,836 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 If he was better than Jack, Kamara or Arfield, he would be starting. Good player and his future is bright but he has competition. Gerrard has no favourites. bluenose48 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I can understand the frustration after the December win. He was told the shirt was his and then dropped. He's a good player but he's got work to do to if he wants to be first pick every week. OhW and Zappa6995 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,674 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Maybe a loan out somewhere would be good for both Rangers and the player. I still think he can have a big future with us but needs more experience to find the best position for him, CB or DM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,913 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 He is scrapping for a role in our most overstaffed position, which is unlucky for him but fortunate for us, has the potential to be a regular in the future but atm there is better in front of him.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 As I recall it there was a thread quite recently where it was reported he offered critical views at an event at Ibrox. If it was true and if so whether that's a form of toys out of pram episode is a matter of opinion. Other than his own opinion of his ability and value to Rangers the only opinions that really count as far as the player is concerned are those of Gerrard and Allen. Making his point in public is one thing but did he make his point privately first to Gerrard / Allen and in the same tone? If not then there is a case to argue that its akin to toys out of pram and an incident which I doubt Gerrard or Allen would be too pleased about. Whether part of the reason he gets the amount of game time he gets is down to some sort of attitude thing is something only the player and Gerrard / Allen will know. But I doubt if a player doing that is likely to be a positive influence for Gerrard. As Gerrard said after the Hearts game he does not pick players based on reputation (in relation to the upcoming choice of restoring Morelos or sticking with Defoe as first choice striker). I doubt if McCrorie would fare any better if he has been staking his claim too publicly. If Gerrard thought the player was that good and so vital to Rangers building a consistent run of winning games he'd be in the starting line up pretty much every week. Gerrard clearly thinks he's not at that level ……….yet. TopCat and Bobby Hume 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 We have a number of players who can play that role in front of the defence. Davis, Jack, Kamara, and Rossiter will be back soon. McCrorie is good at winning the ball back but his distribution is awful at times. I think Kamara is a far better prospect to be honest.

He came on towards the end of last season against Hibs and looked great but sadly some cunt injured him again. He’s been loaned out to get himself back on track and he’s doing really well.
