Yes, but Scotland will be better off.

Makes you wonder - 400k - 600k bid for Naismith and at least 1.5m forMcCulloch?

Other way around IMO.

I have not seen him play, but reports are not great. He surely must have some good points?

He's big, strong, good in the air and trys hard. He is often played on the left and as a striker.

He's not good enough though,

He's a tall Charlie Adam.......no good enough by a mile and certainly no worth £1.5m

At least Charlie Adam can score the odd free-kick.

Why do people keep bringing McCullough's support of Rangers into the debate? Its irrelevant, it was irrelevant to Scott Brown, and it adds nothing to the fact that...

1) he is injured and

2) is not worth £1.5 million

3) the money could be spend on someone else.

Bluenose or not, drop this guy like a hot brick. We don't need another injured die hard bluenose (like Webster) cluttering up the squad.

Purely because if you had to draw some comfort from his signing, that was the only thing i could think of :unsure::blush:

Great news for Scotland. Hopefully the injury is worse than expected. I dont understand why Smith is interested in him?

Presumably because Walter has coached him during his spell with Scotland. Perhaps he has even identified a weakness that LM could solve. As I said, before his injury, I though that McCullough could have done a job. But NOT a £1.5 million notes and not whilst he's injured!!

£1.5million for McCulloch, £400k for Naismith. Murray and Bain's eye's must be f*cken painted on. Clueless bunch of clowns.

Due to one of them playing for a skint Scottish Club and the other playing for a Premiership Club.

However, Naismith is 10x the player McCulloch will ever be.

Please, please, please be true

It as been reported that Rangers boss Walter Smith said thanks but no thanks to the Latics asking price of £2.5 million for Scotland international Lee McCulloch]

The Gers originally approached the Latics with a £750,000 bid back in January, which was knocked back by Paul Jewell.

McCulloch has since handed in a transfer request and it`s no secret that he wants to return to his native Scotland and play for his boyhood hero`s Rangers.

McCulloch has stated that he wants to take his family back north of the border and give his two young sons a Scottish up bringing.

With Super Lee signing a contract extension last summer there is no way Rangers are going to get him on the cheap.

The asking price is very much the going rate, perhaps a little on the bargain side, for a proven Premiership and international player.

McCulloch is something of a cult hero at the Latics and he is the longest serving squad member at the JJB,

His blood and thunder style of play would be hard for the Latics to replace.

Meanwhile on the international front McCulloch has withdrawn from the Scotland squad for Wednesday's Euro 2008 qualifier against the Faroe Islands.

The 29-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the 1-0 friendly victory over Austria last week.

Scotland manager Alex McLeish had hoped that McCulloch would recover in time to fly out with the squad on Monday; however medical staff ruled him out.

Is £2.5 million the right price for McCulloch?

Another thing articles saying Rangers priced out of move after Wigan demanding £2.5m.

Maybe we just feel he isn't worth that at 29 years old with no sell-on value ;)
