rangerman 89 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 not seen him play for years but seeing that picture of him as a boy and of him now standing in front of the rangers badge just makes me think he could be our best signing this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko, Dalcio, Holt GTF. Add Mclean, another winger and then we have decent balanced options for midfield imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 As hard as this week has been after posiitves, that result other night has ruined my week, positive step today and welcome dorrans to the fold, lot of pressure going to be on him, as low as morale is we need to get back to the high height we had previous to tuesday!. Hoping this is a proper kick up the arse needed right away rather than september and dropping points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The No.9 760 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hopefully a bit of dig and better quality than some who have played, not getting too hyped up though. I still think we could sign all the midfielders we want and get no where without some proper goal scorers . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Still need two first pick full backs and two out and out wingers for both flanks and a proven goal scorer but I won't hold my breath.hopefully we start to get rid of the dross that is surplus to requirements and free up more funds for the incoming players that we still need to add as we are still well short of a squad that will be able to compete with the scum.

Our 'quality' down the flanks is completely shocking. Some good additions perhaps in Jack, Dorrans and the like, however, we need a real bit of quality out wide and it's not even questionable.

Virtuoso 27,180 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Quote It is never the wrong time to join Rangers — Dorrans Lindsay Herron After one of the worst weeks in Rangers’ history, the club’s beleaguered supporters have been given something to cheer about after Graham Dorrans signed from Norwich City on a three-year contract. Humiliated after being knocked out of the Europa League by part-timers Progres Niederkorn of Luxembourg on Tuesday night, Rangers received a further setback when the Supreme Court ruled in favour of HM Revenue & Customs in the Big Tax Case the following morning. Last night, the Ibrox club were finally able to announce some good news with the capture of Dorrans — a proven talent who can improve Pedro Caixinha’s squad. The 30-year-old Scotland international mixed it with the best during six-and-a-half years with West Bromwich Albion, with the midfielder talked about in the same breath as club legend Bryan Robson. Dorrans later helped Norwich City return to the Premier League under Alex Neil in 2015, although his side were unable to avoid relegation a year later. The arrival of Dorrans at Ibrox, for an initial fee of £900,000 with potential add-ons, is as significant as the acquisition of Portuguese defender Bruno Alves. He will add quality and experience to the centre of the Rangers midfield alongside Ryan Jack, Jordan Rossiter or Niko Kranjcar. Dorrans had no hesitation in joining his boyhood heroes despite their ignominious exit from Europe earlier in the week. “I don’t think there is ever a wrong time to come to a club like this,” he said in an interview with Rangers’ official website. “I’ve had great times down in England, especially at West Brom but, growing up, I knew I always wanted to come to this club and when the chance came around I jumped at it. It’s no secret that I grew up a Rangers fan. When the chance came around, I was straight on the phone to my agent to get things sorted. “Last season was a little bit disappointing, we were so many points behind Celtic, so hopefully we can be much more competitive in the league next year and maybe get some of the trophies and take it from there. “I am confident we have a good enough squad to compete. Hopefully, I can come in and help the team, help the young boys develop and help the club get back to where it belongs.” Mark Roberts mentored Dorrans during a loan spell at Partick Thistle early in the midfielder’s career and believes he can be a pivotal player for Rangers. Dorrans, who came through Livingston’s youth system after a spell as a young boy with Rangers, was farmed out on loan to Firhill in 2005. “His signing is a real pick-me-up for Rangers after that nightmare result in Europe on Tuesday night,” said Roberts, the former Clyde coach. “The fans need some good news after that shocker and bringing in a player of his quality is undoubtedly a major boost. “It shows Rangers’ intentions that they are bringing in a player like him, who has played at the top level in England with West Brom and Norwich City. He has faced all of the world’s best superstars in the Premier League and coped fine so I feel sure he will be a big success at Rangers. “He is only 30 and seems a fit lad so he could play for another five or six years, comfortably. It’s definitely a step up in quality in terms of the standard of player Rangers had been signing. There is no doubt Bruno Alves is top quality and Dorrans is in that category too.” Roberts knew immediately that Dorrans was destined for bigger things when he joined Thistle on loan from Livingston as an 18-year-old. “He was fearless and you could see straight away that he had something special,” Roberts said. “He was so comfortable on the ball and he had a bit of pace too, but the one thing I really liked about him was that he could look after himself even at a young age. He wasn’t fazed by anybody and he played a lot of games in the middle of the park against some tough opponents.” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/it-is-never-the-wrong-time-to-join-rangers-dorrans-k0dt9bmtk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
