costablancabear 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am a great fan of Kirk Broadfoot, not just because I also come from Drongan in Ayrshire originally, but because I know how much Rangers means to him and all his family. He started out playing schoolboy fitbaw with Kris Boyd and then progressed with a lot of hard work and training - when his pals were away out drinking - he was training hard. I think he would be a great Centre Back alongside Bougherra, Dave Weir is looking slower all the time and I feel that Kirk has enough experience to handle the pressure ( remember he was St Mirren Captain at this position - and yes I know it is a big step) If you think back Richard Gough started out at Right Back for Dundee United before becoming one of our best ever Defenders.................So what do you think Bears - Is Kirk a good option or would you stick with Dave Weir ? I also feel that Rangers could keep Dave Weir as a player/coach to help the defenders and the up and coming youth ! What do you think ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie! 8 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Maybe fit in the bath beside him, but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo 197 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 No!!! Kirk for backup at absolute best. Weir everytime until we replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandelay 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I would probably have Broadfoot ahead of McCulloch at CB now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wilson beside Bougherra from next season or a new CB, Broadfoot should only ever be used as back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw69uk 123 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 tut tut, suggesting playing a player in his natural position! I think it will be quite funny if he comes back and plays well, just like McCulloch did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think Lee McCulloch actually has more natural ability than him. You can't fault Captain Kirk for effort and passion, but then again, if I played for Rangers you wouldn't fault me for any of those either. Sadly, neither of us are good enough.

pcbear 10,924 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Everyone makes mistakes, but if i remember he played cb v Celtic at Ibrox when we lost 1-0 when he was caught out by Scott Madonald when scoring. I would not write off the suggestion totally though as he had some storming performances at St Mirren, if i remember one of his last games was against Dundee United and one paper scored him a 10, Daily Broadfoot?

TN8 7 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wouldnt feel comfortable with Kirk at CB to be honest. He's one of several players at the club who really shouldny be there, but financial circumstances mean we're stuck with him - i.e. we canny afford better!

costablancabear 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Christ some threads in the BD are bordering on the ridiculous ????????? He played with Boughy at the start of last season and never put a foot wrong - he played in the Champions League at Left Back and again never put a foot wrong SO your sarcastic comments towards this idea are a bit OTT IMO he is better than McCulloch surely ?

When did broadfoot play at left back in the Champions league??? He never came into the team til Hutton left and that was in the UEFA Cup. His positional sense is awful, his passing is poor and he can't defend. Broadfoot's an honest player n he gives 100% which you can't fault but he's simply not good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Broadfoot is not a Rangers quality CB, he reminds me of Bert Bombscare. He should be back-up rightback as that's the position he can cause the least amount of damage in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What annoys me is that everyone jumps on this, but answer me this where were the rest of the defense that allowed the ball to get through to McDonald, and lets be honest Broadfoot isn't the only player McDonald has did that to.

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Kirk Broadfoot always seems to get Brushed a side. and get's called shite and that he has no ability. Kirk Broadfoot could get into this Rangers team. If steven Whittaker can get a place at Right Back so can Broadtfoot. But I would stick with Weir ad Bougherra at Centre Back and when Broadfoot is fit i would put him at Right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
