Prso's headband 35,918 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 One year extension? Bit miffed by that. I would've hoped to tie him down to 2020. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger4life_1872 29,817 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Gd too get it done although would have liked it too be a bit longer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wawrinka 88 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Strange that Halliday and Holt are now tied down to 4 year deals but McKay just 2. The cynic in me would suggest that he doesn't want Rangers holding all the aces in his future Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So if he agreed a 5 year deal in 2012, its only another 12 months on to that. Effectively its a 2 year contract from May. Once we get promoted, if he runs riot in the Premiership in the first year, he could potentially run down his contract the following year and we wouldn't get a penny. I find that a bit odd to be honest. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Blues 500 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It took a while to complete and now its just a 1 year extension. I hope I'm not reading too much into this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Either way, the club isn't exactly getting a great deal, as with your scenario , we would have to pay more for his services Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wawrinka 88 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Â McKay's agent will know that a kid of his talent could easily be earning 12-15 grand a week in the English leagues He's probably on a maximum of 5 or 6 now, and maybe doesn't want a long term contract with no prospect of a pay increase That's about the best case scenario here. The worst is that it's to increase his value when we sell him in the summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We should try to extend it by another two years next season. If he refuses, then we put him on the transfer market and sell him while we stll can.  I don't want to see products of our youth set up move on for nothing if they are worth a fee, I'd rather sell them early than lose them for nothing.  I'd maybe even consider taking bids for him in the summer.

Prso is King 64 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Good that he signed but wish it was longer than a year's extension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Must be why it took so long. I am unhappy with a 1 year extension. Either we go through this again in a years time or he is off down south. Either way not good news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hopefully this will see a return to form, been pretty poor last couple of games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost 431 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It does look like we're hedging our bets a bit here with the potential to cash in on an early sale. i hope not as I think that he has genuine potential and with a bit more strength and confidence about him, he could be a good long term prospect to underpin the central core of the team. He has the ability to produce that bit of flair that can change a game and would be a loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryju84 3,170 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 In my opinion, McKay is being kept to see what he can do in the Premiership (and possibly Europe) and then sold on at a decent price. For all we know, maybe he's said he wants to play in the English Premiership at a high level, and we can't kid ourselves here... Warburton is also bound for an EPL team at some point. You heard it here first. Whatever team MW manages down south in future... McKay will be his first "ex-Rangers" signing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
