Raskin only joined us 13 months ago. He got rave posts on RM for his initial displays. He has been out injured for a considerable period and needs to get back to his previous form. The boy will only turn 23 in a couple of days and has more than 3 years left on his contract. Hopefully PC can get him playing to his potential.

Sterling looked really poor at full back but has absolutely blossomed in midfield. Doubt many saw that coming.

His name is MOHAMED DIOMANDE (and the English name for his country is Ivory Coast).

Me too. Only Greig, Henderson and Brand left from a team whose names just effortlessly came to the fore.

Doku was something like 65 million Euros when Man City bought him. I don't rate him at all in any game I've seen him he's like their version of Sakala. Rennes must be nipping themselves at getting that sum.

We should just make the most of him while he is here. Can't see us getting him on loan again next season.

Not aware we have any option to buy Sima.

Goldson's problem is he thinks he's a footballer. He can ping a long ball which is good but when he starts to get clever at the back instead of making either a simple pass or booting into safety that is when he mucks up or gets caught out.

Neither did I.

Absolutely awful. How he was left on for the full game yesterday was a mystery. Normally you put players you want to off load into the "shop window" by playing them in games like yesterday. It won't work with Scott Wright.

Didn't get enough playing time for anyone to really find out if he could play. Good luck to him in Brazil. The better he plays the more likely we get some decent cash for him.

You highlighted what was clearly a "tongue-in-cheek" remark!!! Dessers is awful.

Dessers did next to nothing though. He's so bad he doesn't need marked.

Looks very promising and needs what many in our support don't have....some patience. As others have said, he's only been here a few days and had hardly any game time. Clement will blend him in gradually. Saturday would be a good day to give him more minutes. Same with Cortes and Diomande.

Thought he was excellent last night.

Another game where Dessers provided nothing. PC should have started Silva before Dessers. I want to know who watched him before we signed him as I doubt very much he could play any differently than he does for us.

Typical SFA move and on a televised game which is not a coincidence.

I would have started him before Dessers last night.

Yes he was at fault for the goal. He needed to be stronger. I agree he was giving me the fear. He needs to stop thinking he is Sergio Ramos and just play the simple pass at the back or his long disgonal passes. When he starts to fart about with the ball it often causes us unnecessary bother.

Is Sterling fit?

I think it's perfectly reasonable to look into summer departures and signings from this point on. Future planning is a pre-requisite for most clubs, particularly for Rangers due to the very significant number of players to leave. As for the list of players whom I'd like to see go (or extend at contract end) I categorise them with additional comment. Loans ending and will not be renewed: Sima and Silva Contracts ending and whom I'd let go: Roofe (31), Jack (32), McLaughlin (36), Barisic (31). Contracts ending whose contract I'd extend: Lundstram another 2 years. He will be 30 but is reliable and a replacement is likely to be expensive and our budget limited. Balogun another year. He will be 36 but is reliable and a good experienced squad player. Replacing him is likely to be expensive and our budget limited. Players still in contract and whom I'd try to sell: Age/ yrs left on contract: Davies 28/2 yrs, Dowell 26/2yrs, Wright 26/1yr???, Hagi 25/1yr ??, Lammers 27/ 3yrs,, Dessers 29/ 3yrs, Lawrence 30/ 1yr??? Matondo 23/ 2yrs Yilmaz 23/3yrs and (if he hasn't been sold by summer) Cifuentes 25/3yrs Hopefully Diomande and Cortes are a success and that we can add Jefte in the summer. All three will cost money. Cortes cost Lens £4m and he will have 4 years left on his contract. No info on Diomande contract duration left with the Danes or any transfer value. Jefte will have 2 years left on his contract with Fluminense. No idea of transfer value.

I hope you are right because we will be paying significant cash for the guy so fingers crossed.

Turns out it was simply rubbish then.

Is that legit or just a guess?

4 PM on Sunday 11th televised according to someone I saw post it yesterday. If that was a guess then if I find the post I'll ban the guy.
