chris182 6,289 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 you don't get to put clauses in players contracts after you release them.Restrictive covenant agreements work in business, why not football?Edit: especially when the release agreement benefits him too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nik2402 1,319 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for your commitment last year. And good luck to him. But let's not kid ourselves. This is an average footballer who got players player of the year in the worst team we've ever had, hardly a compliment. He will be lucky to play at Hibs before Hanlon and Fontaine.

BlueThunder 8,453 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This will probably be reported as a master stroke by Stubbs. After the way they dealt with us over Allan I'd have preferred loaning him to someone else for the season, or adding a clause saying he couldn't go to them.

IbroxBurnzy 484 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Was going to wish him luck,but Hibs?? Surely he must have had other options?I would rather have paid him for 12 months to sit on our bench, than to them on a free.I know it sounds petty but its Hibs ffs and Regardless what people say they will most likely be our biggest competition in this league.Scummy Club and if Darren wants to be with them then he can go f##k himself as far as I'm concerned.

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So we give him a lump sum to get him off the books and Hibs of all teams get him for free , you couldnt make this shit up . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Best of a bad bunch last season and 1 of the only players who looked in good shape and fit.Full of honest endeavour and not shy of a bit of graft,hope things work out for him (unless he signs for hibs) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_r_sole 366 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm not really sure whether they will still be our main rivals come May but technically we didn't give him to anybody as we just gave him a free transfer, which for Darren is a good deal because he can negotiate his own signing on fee wherever he goes.He can pass on all he likes to Stubbs because he hasn't got the players or the knowledge as a manager to use that information against us. McGregor tried his best for us and best of luck to the lad for his future.tongue firmly in cheek just after the comments during the sa saga about taking "rivals" players...

coopsleftboot 5,512 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He really isn't as good as a lot of people think...wouldn't have coped with our style of play now.He'll cope even less playing against it. A very committed player but a little ponderous and suited to a certain style of football...not ours now. I'll be looking forward to playing Hibs if he's playing against us.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why was he not included in the Scott Allan deal? Why allow him to go to Hibs after the way they treated us? He is under contract and if we did not want s fee for him then it should have been that he did not sign for a championship club,If he has not signed then block the deal, let him go anywhere but there,Show Hibs and Stubbs 2 can play that game.It's reported he only wants to go there??? Make sure its not this season thou. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super1872 468 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I don't understand why we care if he's going to hibs, they are not our rivals and adding Darren Mcgregor isn't going to change the fact that we're going to win the league.Big Darren is an honest pro and can leave with his head up he did his best but he was never going to play for us, I'm glad Warburton let him go and get games elsewhere, again shows the type of man we have in charge.

There should have been conditions and why not throw him in on top of the fee for Scott Allan? After the way they treated us I would have made sure he never signed for them. His agent would have been told find another club and we won't take a fee, then we would have had some say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,394 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I actually don't mind if he goes to Hibs. It kind of shows Warburton's confidence in that he doesn't really care what the other clubs do because he knows we are better. In other words it's like saying "here have a player we don't need because we don't consider you rivals anyway"Warburton knows we are better than what we are up against, knows how to use the quality we have and knows that one single player doesn't make a team. I think this shows his confidence. He's basically saying if you're not good enough for us then you're not going to pose us any threat playing against us.

wilberforce1 605 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I suspect that Rangers were aware, prior to him being released, that McGregor was going to Hibs.Rangers obviously realised that many on the RM forum would be displeased if they were to be seen trading with Hibs.That'll be why he was released - in order to disassociate the club with any involvement. (and to keep the Mr Sopranos' of this world sweet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandStandBear 995 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He seems a good honest pro. I wish him well for the future and to stop him going to Hibs would be petty and not in the spirit of the game or Rangers as a club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
