OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Dorin Goian is heading back to Rangershttp://www.eveningti...9853n.19661815?DORIN GOIAN could return for Rangers at Annan Athletic next month after his Italian club Spezia confirmed he is no longer needed.Dorin Goian is to return to IbroxThe Romanian defender is on a season-long loan at the Serie B side, but got into hot water with the Italian football authorities last month.He contested an 88th- minute winner for Juve Stabia in a 3-2 defeat so strenuously, he manhandled referee Maurizio Ciampi, who promptly sent him off –the second time he's been red-carded since his return to Italy.Goian was handed a bumper four-match ban by the Italian Federation Disciplinary Committee who ruled that he had "tried to intimidate the referee".That was the final straw for ambitious Spezia, and their sporting director, Nelso Ricci, launched an amazing attack on Goian insisting he'd been 'my biggest disappointment, not up to the level we expected'.Now Spezia have announced they want to keep Goian for their four remaining games this year in Serie B.But after the match on December 30, when Italy start their winter break, he is free to return to Rangers.And they have already brought in Swedish defender Richard Magyar from Halmstads to replace him.A Spezia spokesman said: "We expect Goian will return to Rangers next month."That means the defender, who is contracted at Ibrox until the end of next season, could make his Third Division return for Rangers at Galabank shortly into the new year.Goian joined Rangers last summer after a two-year spell at Palermo and made 35 SPL starts last season.

DougieRFC 36 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good get him back in and get Jig back up top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 76,007 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If he can get the form back from his first 6 months at the club then it will be a huge bonus for us.As much as I like Perry he does seem a little bit out of his depth at times against half decent forwards.

Sweeney 241 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 A big wage coming back to us, not sure Green will allow as I thought they would be obligated to honour his contract unless both sides agree. Not sure he will be needed this season to be honest as by then we will have Faure, Perry, Emilson all fit...could be interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I like the team we have right now, and I think big jig has been solid at the back.Goian was playing terrible before he left, and is clearly still playing bad if his loan spell has just been ended.I don't like it.

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 was there not something before this about him not keeping his fitness levels up or putting on weight, something like that?he was dire prior to leaving which i'd put down to his heart not being into playing in Div 3 , just hope he returns with renewed vigour to get us through the divisions.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 that would be back in time for the Dundee Utd game on feb 2nd? excellent.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddistonKnight 1,577 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Don't know about this one Lads.If he's been a liability over in Italy whose to say he'll be any better over here. I don't think he was particularly good for us in the second half of last season, although that point could have been placed against a few people at Ibrox at the same time. And there's the money side of things. I think it would be better all round if we could get shot of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab_Rangers 38 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'd rather he never came back tbh. The defence is starting to play a bit better, last thing we need is Goian coming into the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It's quite remarkable how clueless some folk on here areJig is and has been awful at centre half. He needs to be up front or not at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Despite all his experience, I don't think Dorin would be a good influence on the team at our current level. Treated the games he played at the start of the season like a kick about.However, I'm not sure he could go back out on loan if he has already played for two clubs this season? Does anyone one know the rules on that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,464 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 He's shite. Was only good for a few games when he 1st came here IMO. £15k a week we could be spending on wages for good young players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Cameron 179 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Wages are an issue. However if his heart is in it I would feel much better about our chances of a run in the cup with an experienced centre half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddistonKnight 1,577 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 General consensus is thanks but no thanks.Hopefully he was only on a two year deal. At least it wouldn't be as painful to the club to pay him for another 6 months. 18 months would be brutal unless he were to surprise us all.I'd rather we tried to build with younger players with a bit of hunger. Neither applies to Goian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,090 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 We should be grooming a young CB like Hegarty/Perry/Cole. Rather not see Goian back as I dont see how he is our future at 32 and thats what we should be working towards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire True Blue 66 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 IMO he is a liability and I don't see the need to unsettle what is a pretty settled team at the moment.Other than his performance the wages must surely be an issue.

Does anyone one know the rules on that?As far as I'm aware, he cant play for another club. I have heard exceptions before, but that is usually been from players coming to Europe from south america. I think the rule might have changed to 2 clubs per callender year (which would be OK), if I just made that up, then were stuck with him.
