    He’s got a lot to prove. Apparently wants to play in the Premiership? Needs to start dominating up here first before he can even dream of that 

    Million miles away from that standard yet 

    Age is still on his side, but at 22 he's going to have to start pulling up trees pretty soon if he wants his next move to be the EPL rather than back to Belgium.

    If I was a youngster at Rangers there’s no way I’m signing a new deal.

    There is zero pathway over the last few years, even our success story Patterson wasn’t getting game time over Tavernier.

    Every manager that comes in (Gerrard, Gio, Beale & Clement) give it soundbites about giving youth a chance but it’s very rare that they actually do.

    McCausland has got some game time and impressed but still seems behind Lammers & Cantwell in the pecking order, is he really going to get regular game time when the likes of Matondo, Lawrence & Roofe are back? Or when we inevitably sign a winger or two in January?

    Same with Bailey Rice, he impressed in pre season but hasn’t been seen since other than a few bench appearances, now since Clement has come in he seems even further away, if he’d stayed at Motherwell he’d be a 1st team regular by now.

    People are desperate to sign Scottish players from other SPFL teams and criticise the club for not doing so, but make excuse after excuse for not giving our own Scottish youth a chance. The youth players aren’t the finished product but they can only develop properly if they are given 1st team game time.

    Stop signing squad players like Dowell & Lammers and give the likes of Rice, Lowry & McCausland a go.

    I agree in full except the last sentence. Given the money spent, Lammers was not signed as a squad player.

    📸 Look at this post on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/p/LDB7tyJt4mCzbaWc/?mibextid=WC7FNe
     

    According to this post he has signed a new 3 year deal. Fwiw I can’t confirm who this guy is or what he knows. It came up on my timeline. 

    I can confirm that he is a complete roaster.

    See Ross is linked with Brentford in the Record today, but with his contract situation I fancy there will be near constant lazy links clubs south of the border until we can get an extension tied up.

    Doing well on loan? 

    I'm not claiming that he's set the world alight over there. But bearing in mind he'd been out injured for a very long time, he's currently playing week in week out in La Liga (been in squad 10 out of 11 game weeks and been on the pitch in 9 of those games) and doing well enough that he's in the international squad off the back of it.

    So yeah, from what we would hope for from the loan deal, he appears to be doing well.

    Douglas the man who wouldn’t give Gerrard any cash, so a wee bit of a pattern forming 

    Given the move Kent's agent found him was to Turkey, chances are thee money being asked for was more than likely outwith our reach, or at least far more than performances merited.

    Don't show slow motion replays. Show the incident at full speed as many times as it takes, but don't slow it down and freeze frame on the point of impact. If you can't comprehend whether something is a red at full speed you shouldn't be a ref.

    I don't mind slow motion, freeze framing it should be banned though, can make any challenge look horrendous with a still.
