Guest Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nikica Jelavic made his come back for the first time in months on Tuesday against Inverness Caley Thistle and his return to action couldn't have came at a more important time. With top goal scorer Kenny Miller leaving to don the green and white in Turkey, Rangers have a gap up front that will need plugged.Speaking to the Sun newspaper yesterday, Jela said that he knows he has to endeavour to hit the ground running and start to find scoring form sooner rather than later.View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He shouldn't be put under any particular pressure, he was playing well and starting to score when he was brutally assaulted.It may take a wee while to get up to speed, meanwhile it's the others who need to step up imo.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 After such a long injury we need to give him time to get back to form.Sadly I can see some fans overreacting if he hasn't scored a hat trick within his next 3 appearances.

BILL.I.AM 18 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 There is always pressure as a Rangers striker to score goals and I don't think he will have any problem scoring when hes fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,624 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Talking about missing the point The guys been out for 3 1/2 months.Aye after a tackle by Black, its not a point i missed at all. As i said 4 million quid, Millers just left and at a time we have little or no money Jelavic has got to score or contribute right away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,624 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 And you suggest I'm being daft Tell me what makes you think that I 'seem' to think this?What words did I use?Simple really you said "He shouldn't be put under any particular pressure", which at Rangers doesn't happen, there's always pressure, even more so his price tag in these times when we are potless and Miller leaving to go to Bursapor.I dont see what i've said that takes a genius to work out it pretty basic stuff.

That's at least what I took from what manticore was saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's at least what I took from what manticore was saying.Its Rangers they play for if they dont do it on the pitch the support have every right to tell them within reason, I'm sure Jelavic isn't a wee delicate flower who will wilt away at the first sign of criticism.Pressure from the support can also be a good thing and make the player react to it, Look at Miller when he stepped on to the park he had to show character to turn the support around, for me he done that.
