[Gaz52 11,837]

Still a young guy with plenty of time to improve and become solid

650000 seems a fair whack of money for a guy who will be playing second fiddle to Tav and Waldo.......have to say I'm a little disappointed as that seems quite a bit of money and I would have preferred the lions share go to a good quality striker.

Back to bed.

All we need now is a quality CB, Striker and left full back cover and we're good to go.

Wouldn't be against a creative midfielder and another striker(Abraham) on loan in August either but maybe I'm pushing it. 

Someone mentioned it in another a thread, but the CB and Striker signings could be the difference, I really hope we bring in quality. Vaughan and the American isn't good enough and my concerns about King would have much more substance if that's the case. 

Both Hodson and Halliday can cover there mate.

If he is a better defender than Tav then it may be that the 2 of them are rotated. Tav against the teams where we dominate and then Hodson away to the scum, sheep and hearts

Welcome to Rangers. Good to see another Ulster man pulling on the famous blue jersey.

I think he has a Belfast born granny, sounds more like Micky Flannagan than Kyle Lafferty, born in Borehamwood where Warburton played for years.

The thought of Wallace getting injured and Halliday playing left back makes me cringe mate. Our full-backs are the most important part of Warburton's style. Although Hodson can play left-back I'm not sure he would be as effective down that side, I may be wrong though. Would still prefer a left footed defensive player coming into the squad.

He played left back a lot at Kilmarnock and has played there previously. Halliday played left back for a few teams down south I think, maybe Blackpool and Boro if he ever got a game. He also played left back in the Petrofac final against Peterhead when Wallace came off, and he didn't look out of place. He has all the right qualities to play that position for us, goes forward, left footed, good cross on him, good shot, reasonable pace.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Good signing.

He's hardly box office, but he's solid cover for the fullback areas, and our squad was sorely lacking in that area.

We need a striker more than anything, someone who is tall can hold the ball up and has an eye for goal. Until a proven goal scorer is found then we will not win the league, we can't just play teams of the park we need to take our chances

Really don't see why Halliday would be a problem at left back, he's played there before and could cover for Wallace comfortably, even if not as good.

The value of the pound has fallen so low after Brexit that £650k is the new £100k. 

You'll have to bring wheelbarrows of cash to buy a pie & a programme at Ibrox next season...

Who's that other N.I. player that has got this song about him about being on fire? He also didn't get on during the Euros but he scored 30 goals last season. Who does he play for and would he not be affordable?

Welcome to the club Lee, Tav could do with the competition, that's for sure.

Beggars spend 650k on a player .The boy is a world beater and has now instant potential value of 10million 

Rangerd sign a player for 650k and there is no fanfare whatsoever

some experience, some depth, some potential.    Squad is coming together nicely.  We really need some firepower in the door though.  I'd like to see us sign at least one quality striker, and a back up to him.

Was it ? Seen it mentioned on here few times 650 .If that's the case then ,fair enough .Hope he is goodun

Welcome to Rangers Lee. Hopefully another shrewd find from Warbo and the team!

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,491]

Welcome aboard Lee.

If anyone from the Boredroom section asks you cost us 50 million.

[SasaPapacLoyal 348]

Not an exciting signing but one that we needed to make. Quality cover makes all the difference when the chips are down in a title race 

[MonTheGers 207]

I don't think many fans were excited about Tav signing. This guy night not be just cover. I expect him to be be serious competition for Tav. Cover for Wallace given he is captain. Sincerely hope he is another shrewd signing by Warburton. Welcome to Rangers!
