LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 ALLY McCOIST has thrown down the gauntlet to Fran Sandaza to keep his place in the Rangers side by shooting down Peterhead on Sunday.The Spanish striker has returned to the main striking role in the absence of skipper Lee McCulloch.Sandaza played well against Berwick last weekend – but frustratingly couldn’t find the net – and he is set to lead the line again at Balmoor as McCulloch will still be sidelined with an ankle knock.McCoist told RangersTV: “I felt big Fran played very well at the weekend but the only thing he was lacking was a goal. I think we were all willing him to get a goal, which he deserved, but the most important thing was he contributed and I’m very confident the goals will come.“He twisted and turned to set up Andy Little for the first goal last Saturday and then he was involved in a really good third goal for us when he produced a great cross which led to a first class volley from David Templeton.“He has a chance at the moment because Lee is out due to bruising on his ankle so the position is his to lose at the moment.“Scans showed some slight bruising on the ankle which was giving Lee some discomfort so it would be crazy to rush him back.“Centre forwards will always be judged on goals – and Fran knows that – and you could see a bit of anxiety coming in but as long as he keeps playing well that’s the most important thing.”WATCH THE MANAGER'S INTERVIEW ON RANGERSTVhttp://www.rangers.c...triking-target?

Big Al 55 9,304 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Good, thought he was by far the star man against Berwick. Just needs a good run IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo 588 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He'll get his goal soon enough, willing to give him time considering his proven strike rate in Scotland Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieG54 812 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I never rated him and I have slated Fran in posts. He was terrible away at Falkirk and most othet games but after watching him last im willing to give the guy a chance he impressed me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,923 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Start hitting the target, that will help. I probably jinxed him by saying he'd be top scorer this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Once he gets one, he will get a good few more, but he may not end up top scorer.20+ would be good though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanFerguson2012 123 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Seems daft to suggest he will be dropped if he does not score. We are romping home in the league so it would be best to give him a run & let things happen naturally. We saw what he could be like on Saturday. He made 2 and could have scored 3.

The Monk 3,208 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He will hit 15 goals easily if he's played regularly, only a matter of time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He is due a goal. his performances have been getting better and better since he came back from injury. When he gets one more will follow I'm sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devref 201 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 perhaps ally needs to take him to one side for some specialist training. starting with the 3 white sticks with the big mesh hanging on them is where you need to put the ball to score a goal.hitting the outside does not count.then once that bit is learned he can show him how to put the round thingy in there.apart from that bit his overall game seems to be getting better.

bluechip 359 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think he'll score goals if given a decent run in the team. He's a pretty good target man IMO as he can takes the ball in and distribute it pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More along the lines, that if the game os on and we are in early enough, I can jump on the park and take him aside for some pointers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
