rfc_no1fan 13 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Always said he would come good. He was the best talent in Scotland a few years back. He has taken time to settle, lack of games and injury never helped, but now he will prove his worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has taken time to settle, lack of games and injury never helped, but now he will prove his worth. I agree, The only question I have lingering about Naismith is what his position in the future is? Do we keep grooming him as a winger or eventually move him to striker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Was great tonight. Will stick Naisy's take on the match in here while I'm in here: STEVEN NAISMITH has hailed Rangers hard fought draw in Stuttgart as the perfect foundation on which to build a successful Champions League campaign. On a night when the only other away teams to collect points in the continent's top club competition were Barcelona and Arsenal, Naisy reckons the Gers can draw confidence from their second half display. The young striker almost grabbed a late winner for his side as the Light Blues enjoyed the better of the closing stages after Madjid Bougherra's 77th minute leveller cancelled out Pavel Pogrebnyak's opener. He said: "It was a great night and especially on the back of the second half performance we really deserved to get something and that's exactly what we did. "We have to take the positives from the late chances because tonight we came and showed that we can handle it at this level. "I had a wee chance myself but the ball bounced just as it came to me and when I took the touch it just skidded off the grass away from me. "I managed to make it through the tackle though and if I'm being critical I should maybe have gone with my left but the keeper has made a good save." Naismith did have praise for the man who found the net after Bougherra's marauding forward run saw the big Algerian score a goal that any of his striking colleagues would have been proud of. "Sometimes the big man gets on his bike and just bombs up the park and tonight it really paid off for us and in the end we had a couple of chances and might have won it late on. "But they are a very good side with plenty of experience and some really good players so they will be a threat to other teams in the group. "Tonight we showed tonight that we could handle that threat and that's a real plus for us." http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/He...1799366,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiadreamin52 339 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I did enjoy his new endeavour to make his presence felt in the game, but thought he was luck not to pickup a serious injury or get sent off for the two tackles towards the end of the game, as another Ref could have look upon these incidents in a different way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 He seems to be warming to the task. Seems a lot stronger and must have spent a lot of time in the gym. Glad to see it's paying off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jardy 0 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 im delighted for naismith personally, he has been through it at ibrox and hopefully this season will be his proper break, big thumbs up from this camp, keep it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 He seems to be warming to the task. Seems a lot stronger and must have spent a lot of time in the gym. Glad to see it's paying off You're right and it rang a bell: He told the Rangers News: "I felt I was starting to adapt to being here when the injury came along. "But maybe it wasn't a bad thing as I was able to spend time in the gym getting stronger. Some young boys play football nonstop from an early age and risk burn out." http://www.<No links to this website>/football/spl/...86908-21557956/ Super Ally hailed Naismith after his first start for his country. And he insists it was reward for the frontman after a battle back from cruciate surgery. He said: "Naismith was magic. I was thrilled for him. "I told him that all those hours in the gym had been worthwhile. "There were days when the boys went out training and he couldn't go. "His face would be tripping him so nobody deserved this cap more than him. "He was up against an old Rangers player in Gio van Bronckhorst and I've no doubt he can become a regular in the Scotland set-up. "The injury has made him grow up a little. He was never immature but the injury made him take a hard look at what he wants to do. He has a determination to do well." http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/s...in-my-eyes.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 He was just as good as Rothen IMO, brilliant. Can't believe how good he is in the air for such a small guy. His first touch is very good and he never wastes possesion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minstral 5,375 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think he deserves great credit for the way he has come back from his bad injury. In my opinion he was man of the match, and for a small player he is good in the air.I think he will go on to become a top class player for us.
