Nicky Clark

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

I want my strikers movement off the shoulder of the last defender

Ala Michael Owen style

Which is exactly what Nicky does / is doing.

[ClydebankBearWATP 877]

The final area mate

He's good round about the halfway line and channels but I want my strikers movement off the shoulder of the last defender

Ala Michael Owen style

He makes intelligent runs across the whole front line imo if he keeps improving I'll be very happy with the striker we'll have on our hands

[The Godfather 72,096]

4 goals no mean feat

[ClydebankBearWATP 877]

4 goals no mean feat

No over yet

[pcbear 10,924]

Did McCoist ever score 4 in one game? scored plenty hat tricks but 4?

[elephants stoned 2,994]

unless my memory is fading I seem to recall that Super was pish at the start of his career with us. Who's to say that Nicky can't keep improving...

I know just when Gillette said hes never a Rangers no9 Super Ally popped into my head, but Nicky Clark is a great young talent with a exciting future ahead i say we let him enjoy his football and being a Rangers striker and not worry about will he be good enough for the Champions League or anything yet.

I wasn't around to see ally start his rangers career but I grew up watching the Souness era etc so I know how good ally was in the flesh

To compare Nicky Clark with him at that age isn't really worthwhile

Clark might improve but he hasn't been up against anyone yet who we can say he can be tested

My original point is that he's nowhere near a rangers number 9 ( in my own opinion)

Compare him to....

Super ally

Mojo

Mols

Durie

K Miller

R Wallace

These guys were all rangers strikers who I want to have leading the line

Clark isn't anywhere near that level

Some might laugh when I say k miller

But miller was 20 yrs old scoring champions league goals and leading the line for his country and has went on to have a fantastic career

At precisely Nicky Clark's age....McCoist was the main boo boy at Rangers.

Considered not good enough.

Indeed, he'd probably be described online (if it existed) somewhat worse than Clark is.

Totally true...

[Creampuff 22,628]

He's leagues ahead of Andy Little.

Slight difference in McCoist playing against guys like Danny Mcgrain to Clark playing against Danny mcnaebrain

Slight difference in Clark playing with guys like Fraser Aird as opposed to Davie Cooper.

[RFC Rob 112]

Didn't see the game but obviously delighted he scored 4. I've been quite impressed with his play and obviously he scored 40-odd last season so he has already proved himself as a goalscorer.

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

Important to bear in mind too that in Ally's early days the top division was a bigger league than it is now and contained plenty of pish teams. Also, many of his early goals were in league cup games against minnows.

From little acorns etc.

Super ally scored a league cup final hattrick v Celtic when he was 21 btw

Clark is 22

Fuck sake he scored 4 goals give him a chance, or are you one of GOAT's pals?

[Sket 13,610]

Not for me

Nowhere near a rangers number 9

Awrite

Wow , 4 goals v Forfar

Great

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

Brilliant, this will do wonders for his confidence as well, playing with Daly will no doubt improve him as well but he's one for the future.

Harsh Gillete, the boy is the signing we were all crying out for that will do well in these lower leagues and will also get us a fee when we move him on as a better player. Can't wait to see what he's like 2 years down the line.

[VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,331]

Cheer up Gillette - we won!

His time will come.

Not harsh mate, just my opinion

Would you be happy with him leading the line against Ajax, Milan or Barca ?

Obviously we can't have players like that right now , which is why Clark is getting his chance

Anyone who thinks he will be the main striker when we are back is deluded

[Gillete 1,338]

Cheer up Gillette - we won!

His time will come.

Lol

Sorry mate, I hope so

I've probably picked the worst time for a debate on him but I'll stick to my opinion

[elephants stoned 2,994]

Arguments about Clark V McCoist are not necessary the lads playing well and looks the Nicky Clark of last season and thats all that matters at the moment.

[LucyBlue 2,278]

At 22, McCoist was the whipping boy.

He was regularly booed off the park.

Tis a fact.

Why are you so determined to undermine Clark?

He's just scored 4 ffs.
