Semper Paratus 72 127 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 RANGERS boss Ally McCoist has made Middlesbrough defender Andre Bikey his top defensive target again.The Light Blues are ready to try and bring the Cameroon ace to Ibrox when their transfer embargo is finally lifted in September. McCoist is keen to strengthen his much-criticised defence with at least two new central defenders and former Reading and Burnley star Bikey, above, is at the top of his list. Rangers tried to land the 28-year-old last summer after he left Burnley but Bikey opted to take up a one-year contract offer at Boro. Bikey decided to stay in the Championship as he felt it would enhance his chances of making his national squad. McCoist is hoping he can persuade the powerhouse to sign up at the second time of asking. Rangers are close to signing up Kilmarnock keeper Cammy Bell and will open pre-contract talks with Dundee United captain Jon Daly and Motherwell’s Nicky Law. Injured Hearts captain Marius Zaliukas is also on the Ibrox radar. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/382646/Rangers-ready-for-Andre-Bikey-swoop Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm happy to be linked with Zaliukas. Wouldn't mind him and Webster tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,872 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I hope the wheels don't come off this move and we handle it properly.Definitely a lot riding on it and I reckon we will motor our way to the second division if we sign a chain of defenders.

dummiesoot 16,285 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm happy to be linked with Zaliukas. Wouldn't mind him and Webster tbh.Webster is a shitebag that could not handle playing for the Rangers, how else do you explain his excellent fitness record for scumdee utd and hearts.

GRBear 4 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Glad Allys looking at a central defender because Cribari and Perry are both bomb scares IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbubba 56 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Zaliukas would be a terrible signing, he is a liability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbubba 56 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 If this is all we are going for then i would love to know what Neil Murray does to justify his salary. We obviously don't need or use scouts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 13,176 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What wage and what sales pitch would we need to give to a Championship player in hope of an international call-up, to get him to sign for the Scottish Second Division or the new Scottish Third Division?How would you like to sign for Rangers son?

Non_Sucumbi 876 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nearly had a shit -- thought we were signing a Pikey Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,209 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've seen Bikey play a lot, particularly at Bristol City. Plays a lot like Bougherra as in he sometimes goes on runs forwards but I think he would be a terrific signing.Tanky as fuck, able to shove almost anyone off the ball, actually has a good range of passing for a CBWins nearly all headers as he has ridiculous jumping and literally throws himself at the ball. He is also quite quick.His only negative in my opinion is that he can be caught out fannying with the ball on the half way line and give away possession but this would be less likely in the lower Scottish leagues where he'll have more time on the ball.Would love him to sign Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Would be a fantstic signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,209 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Would be a fantstic signing.Agreed, he's everything we're looking for in a CB and would make a good partner for Hegarty as he has different qualities to all our other CB's Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,457 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Can't see it happening but if we could get rid of Goian, Boca, Cribari and bring in Bikey and Danny Wilson then it would be good business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
