rangersxfc 265 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 David Weir is set to agree the termination of his playing contract with Rangers, STV understands.It is not yet known if the 41-year-old, who has won the last three SPL championships with the club, will retire from the game or look to continue playing elsewhere.Weir has failed to break into Ally McCoist’s side this campaign, mainly due to the partnership formed between summer defensive recruits Dorin Goian and Carlos Bocanegra, and has made just one appearance this season.The club captain, who has also won 69 caps for Scotland, had previously admitted that he may have to look elsewhere for playing time in the January window, if he failed to win back his place in the team.“My priority is playing and, as it stands, I want to play for Rangers,” he told STV in November.“If that doesn’t happen, you’ve got to get the message and start looking elsewhere.”Weir has made a total of 231 appearances for Rangers, after joining on a free transfer from Everton#NoSurrenderDavieWeir Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MenHadADream 122 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Club legend and undoubtedly the best signing that Smith made since he came back. Would love if he could stay on in a coaching capacity here, but he's probably away back to Everton. Good luck to him.

Ace 3,645 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 A difficult job at a difficult time, the man is the epitome of a consummate professional but as with all players, you have to make way for the younger breed.

BeautifulSeas 10 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 He was brilliant. I'm glad he has called it a day to be honest, the last few months of last season were difficult for him. He can walk away with his head held very high. He has done the football club proud. Thanks for the memories, David Weir, I hope to see you back in a coaching/management role in the future.

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 a man of few mistakes, an a shame that he didn't bow out with all the plaudits from last season. I can't help but think he'll end up at Motherwell and hold us to a draw whenever we play them. All the best Davie, your war is over marine Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
