SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 He's out of contract unfortunately. Would rather it was Kiernan away but he's still under contract. It's the right decision otherwise we could end up with the same 4 CHs next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been let go because we know nobody will want Kiernan and it will probably cost us to move him on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should get a 12 month extension until we have someone better in place. The man is solid as a rock and you can depend on him - unlike many others out there.

DW1872 1,207 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 He has been our best centre back this season but really that's not a huge compliment. I wouldn't have minded had he been given another year but ultimately we need to aim higher and Pedro will have his own ideas. Thanks to the big man for his efforts and his goal at the scumdome which can never be taken away from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,452 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Would like to think Pedro would change his mind, can't think of a better 3rd choice atm. But from hearing him after the game, he's reluctantly hearing other offers. Wouldn't be surprised if Harry took him to Birmingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess 3,422 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Difficult one. Been solid, but age well against him. Need to look to the future so the thought that he keeps a younger prospect out the team worries me. Just need to get the 'young prospect' in.

Lothianbear 361 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Speaks volumes that two of our best players are the oldest guys in the squad. I got the feeling Pedro wasn't going to keep both of them but surely Clint is worth another season, even if just for back up. He's never let us down but i feel we're letting him down .

Yes I agree I think it's the right move. Good guy and good professional and a right good player but at 39 this year I'd personally say thanks and goodbye.

But having said that not a better player. The old chestnut about his age but he's one bad injury away from retiring. I get the bit about the stability he's brought and the leadership. Its all is only ifs, but younger, gotten him sooner etc. But next years Midfield have got to be able to protect the back four better than the current mob. If he's willing to hang around maybe as a stand by but cost prohibits, Pedro's going to bring at least two centre halves, so it's hard to see him wanting to be third fiddle at his age, unless he gets a coaching gig as well. Appears to be a model professional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If the Manager has got a better Centre Back than Clint Hill lined up to sign then good for him because Clint has been one of the few this season that - imo anyway - was man enough and had enough strength of character and used his experience well enough. So if he has a better player lined up to replace him I really do look forward to seeing who that will be. Even assuming he does have a replacement of better quality lined up might it not have been worth having Clint as a back up for next season - he's been over the course in the SPFL and knows exactly what to expect against Scottish clubs and knows exactly what the Rangers Support are expecting. Whether it was a good call or a poor call to release Clint will become much clearer when we see who the 'men' are that the Manager is bringing in, and in comparison to Clint, who the CBs will be.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Like everyone else I can see reasoning behind giving him and not giving him a contract. Contract - Pass on experience to younger players, excellent professional to lead by example, reliable backup if used to strengths. No Contract - He's getting old and will be more and more injury prone, his lack of speed will change the way the team has to play and could leave us open to counter attack, depending on way things go he might keep out a younger player whom could be using the game time to improve, it's time to move on and rejuvenate the squad with players that add more value for selling on etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracle 7,790 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Coaches get paid a fraction of what players do. If he can get a couple of more years playing at Championship/League 1 level before hanging up his boots we've no right to deny him that.
