CoplandStandBear 995 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 He's always been prone to injuries. This has probably came at a bad time as i suspect we would be willing to offload him if an offer came in while the window is still open.I'm sure Killie would take him off our hands given they took Stevie Smith and Boyd.................And Jig. No wonder they are struggling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Hume 13,379 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Was glad when we signed him from Herds, and was expecting an out and out winner, but he has failed to shine, and although he was given many chances I feel his time at us is now sadly over.

1873bear 192 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 This will be the fourth Rangers manager he's failed under, thankfully Warburton won't mess about with his future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Bertrum 9 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 For 40 years we've had players who have collected wages for being injured. OK, if people get injured at work, the employer has a responsibility to look after them, but we seem to be a magnet for these guys at Rangers.I want us to care for anyone in our employment, but I'm sick of players who turn u at Ibrox only to have a physical flaw discovered.The amount of money we have bled on these guys is beyond the pale.Anyway, get well soon Temps, and get a decent medical team Rangers. You have cost us fortunes over the years....or maybe it's just been bad luck for decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 He'll see out his contract here, just like Ian Black did because no-one else can afford, or would be willing to pay, his excessive salary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRodgA2k8 542 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Warburton obviously seen something in him as he has featured early season so it's a shame he has picked up an injury.I expect him to be released at the end of the season but I imagine he will get some further opportunities when he's back and fit again!

simon 1,758 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Saw him in the pub late last Saturday. Was walking unaided, when did the injury happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLawMan 6,240 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Can't really blame Coisty on this one. We were all excited when he first came here. Never worked out for some reason.Your last sentence is at odds with your first. The "some reason" was Coisty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,272 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Bags of ability, plenty potential, just couldn't bring it onto the pitch for us. I too think he was "McCoistified".Wish him a speedy recovery and hope he can make some for of impact for us before he leaves in the summer.

Ozblue 4,332 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Saw him in the pub late last Saturday. Was walking unaided, when did the injury happen?This was what I was wondering,Simon. He came on for 6 minutes plus 6 minutes extra time against St.Mirren and went down after a hard but innocuous tackle but kept playing so I never thought anymore about it until I saw the pictures from our training session on the artificial surface at Alloa and he was the only squad player absent.Knowing his history and dislike of plastic pitches in general and the Alloa pitch in particular I wondered if he had asked not be considered for the Alloa match and in fact posted a thread on here about it.My interest was further heightened when I saw the Mark Warburton presser leading up to that game where he told a journalist that all players were fit (touch wood) and in good shape to take on Alloa.If he was injured in that tackle against St.Mirren and sustained a bad ligament injury then I can understand why his knee would be strapped up, but if that was the case I think resting the knee would be advisable.For the talent that lad obviously has, his signing for Rangers has not been good for him or our club.

sammy cox 664 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Unfortunately has been prone to injury. Even at Hearts he was known for his injuries.He will be back but I think his time along with one or two more from last seasons squad will be up at the end of this season.

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,696 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Right. He was genuinely feared as a Hearts player.Ask Liverpool fans when they played hearts ask Whittaker and various other full backs their opinion of Temps he is undoubtedly a good player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,332 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Warburton maybe figured out he's not a player?!That certainly could be the case, which if that is the conclusion MW has made then DT will be on his way as soon as his contract expires.Out of all the players McCoist signed,Templeton was the one who should have really set the heather on fire with his skill but unfortunately it just never happened on a regular basis.I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he can play some part on our journey out of this division, but as every day passes it will get harder for him.

calio 688 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Shame for him as he'll have a real task on his hands to regain his place in the squad when fit IMO.Doubt we'll miss him too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Said last night on RTV he was out for at least 4 weeks. Maybe he can't handle the new training regime or is just one of those players you never really get fit for long. Think he might end up back at Hearts or following the rest of our duds to somewhere like Kilmarnock.He seemed to be just as injury prone under the 'smack the ball off Ally's arse' training regime. Sometimes you just get players made of crisps. Looking increasingly likely he's one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
