This is a fucking shocking attitude if true btw. 

Hopefully he's not another waster but Pedro has a lot to answer for if he can't reign this guy in considering he cost £3 mill 

Surely to God we didn't pay £3m? Where did that come from I thought we'd got him on a free!

Miner's helmet and tassels on his boots.  People clear a wide path for the deranged - he should net 50+ goals this season.

It's been said that Pena isn't close to match fitness.  I'm sure he's working on it during the week but seems a bit off at the moment.  If he was out drinking tonight would it really matter?  I doubt he would've been in tomorrows squad anyway.

You would think though if someone spotted him drinking they'd have taken pics of it, no? Sad though if true, he was the one player I was most excited to see and still is. I'm going to keep my faith and hopes we'll see him soon.

Pretty much my way of thinking . Let's hope he screws the nut , or even better , the reports aren't that accurate.  I

Pedro Caixinha on Carlos Pena: He will be a big player for Rangers but he needs time to adjust and become fitter

PEDRO Caixinha has revealed Carlos Pena still needs “a little more time” before he is ready to make a regular contribution to the Rangers team. The Mexican is one of nine new summer signings but didn’t feature in the Europa League loss to Progres Niederkorn and then only fleetingly in the home friendly against Marseille.

With Ryan Jack and Graham Dorrans the two likely starters in the central midfield area in Caixinha’s preferred 4-4-2 set-up, Pena may need to bide him time before forcing his way in. But his manager is confident the 27-year-old will make an impact once he has properly bedded in and is fitter.

“When you have a group, especially a new group of players with 10 new players coming to this massive club, they are players you know are going to adapt easier than others,” said Caixinha. “Carlos came with another Mexican [Eduardo Herrera] and the other Mexican adapted differently than him. So it’s not about being a Mexican, it’s more about yourself.

“We are definitely very glad to have Pena with us. He’s a great player and he is going to show very good things in this football. It’s just a case of him adapting and needing a little more time.

“We are all the time giving him that confidence and all the time giving him that support. We know he is growing day by day and he is adapting. He wants more day by day and that is the important thing.

“Pena is starting to know that the game here is more physical so you have less time and less space. He needs to understand that and that comes with a rhythm that we are trying to get him into.

“He also needs to get fitter so he is working hard to make sure his body is ready for when he is called into action. He will totally get it that he won’t have the same amount of time and space because the good players and the clever players anticipate the actions. He just needs to get the right rhythm and the right fitness.”

Caixinha described Pena as a versatile player but one who would thrive in an attacking central midfield role.

“Pena is that type of box to box player. He is a really offensive player, those players who easily get in the opponent’s box. He can score goals, he can assist. He can play in all of the offensive roles, but especially in the middle of the park.

“If you ask me where he can play, and the formation that we are using now, he can play with two in the middle and the one that goes further forward. Or he can play as a shadow striker. Or even a little bit on the left coming inside. But mainly within the central spine, that’s his position.

“We have options and that makes me very happy because last season that was something in the middle of the park we were struggling. Now we have a strong middle of the park and we have strong options, not only for the players playing now but also those who are on the back placing that competitiveness within the team. That allows us also to be competitive when we face opponents.”

He didn't get in till 4am this morning, my mate who is a taxi driver picked him up.

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

Why does our manager claim we have signed 10 players? It's 9 isn't it?

[Ted E Bayer 484]

Wonder who will drop out of and when Pena is fit and available.

Young Jack is the type of player that needs to play week in and week out to continue to be at his best. I wouldn't be dropping either him or Dorrans but Pena will have to play with the money we paid for him and what about Niko...

[.Williamson. 82,177]

Can't believe we spent the amount we did on him when he has turned out to be so far off match fit

[there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724]

Needs a run out mid-week v Dunfermline. Last 20 minutes to whet his appetite should do.

[RangersScotty9 255]

I feel the reason he never got subbed on was only because of the circumstances:

1. Pedro feels he needs to adapt him to the physical Scottish game.
2. He feels he's not quite match fit yet.
3. The Motherwell game was not ideal to bring him on when we were on a knives edge.

I thought Pedro made the right tactical change when we were not controlling the game to ensure we would secure the win, Morelos was the right choice to make at that time. However if Rangers can get 2-0 up against Hibs, hopefully we can see Peña get the run in, would be nice to see him get 45 minutes under his belt in a second half if we can get 2-0 up, but unlikely, he'll probably get last 15 minutes or something?

That young Aidan McAdams we signed from celtic. Probably include that considering there was a fee involved.

Niko will be off in January at the latest, just in time for the MLS season.

According to the ITK brigade, his appetite is the problem, looking forward to seeing the guy get a run-out.
