Solid and hard as nails.

Unsure if he'll be a starter with Barisic coming in but by fuck is he 20x the player of Hodson.

I’m 20 times the player of hodson

A good player gets stuck in a level above what we have in that position.

Barisic?

[DC76 427]

Early days for him,knew he'd be absolutely hard as fuck but think his footballing ability will improve with game time after a couple of seasons of injury and loans...question is will he get it now with barasic signing?

What I like about him,  was in the Aberdeen game,  the more he was booed when touching the ball by the sheep meddlers fans,  the more it spurred him on to play better.  He was solid during that game.  He's had a couple of not so great games,  but that particular one stood out for me. 

So,  I think,  in League games if he is played and opposition fans boo him(as I suspect the majority will)whenever he touches the ball etc,  that will be his trigger to stuff themthem,  regardless of where he is placed postionally.

No the best player in the world. You get the sense that hes a winner tho and will play any position asked just to be playing. Solid pro

[Teddybear123 215]

Very good player to have as a backup. Although, slightly worried we only have one backup fullback plus Halliday... anyone know if there are any promising fullbacks in the youths?

[STEPPS BOY 75,034]

He’s done ok but i’m pretty excited about Barisic..

[Vision 16,782]

Guaranteed red card for a hard but fair challenge, mark my words.

[Davy Vandenbroucke 26,408]

Hero.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Doesn't take shit, defends well, is hard as nails.....  other than the name, the ideal Ranger ?

Exactly this. He has struggled for pace but he is getting into the routine again and you can see by his attitude that he is motivated to perform for his friend and gaffer and the large Ibrox crowds. He knows what it means and takes to perform at this level. Shame he has been in the wilderness recently. Hope his aggressive side is controlled though!!!

Assuming Barisic turns out to be the player we think he is then Flanagan should be a squad player to cover injuries and suspensions.

Got a Croatian friend and when I told him we had signed Barisic he told me what a signing he will be a great player for Rangers

[SeparateEntityMyArse 54,270]

Solid in the tackle, far more defensive than attacking. Sloppy with passing at times, has been caught out a few times positionally too.

Think he'll be very good and improve over time, but based on performances his jersey should be at risk if Barisic gets the nod unless we go with 3 CHs.

He'll likely be shoehorned in somehow to play against more physical teams like scum, sheep, Motherwell etc.

What’s your thoughts been on him so far?  He’s been pretty solid for a right back playing left back for me.  Not great going forward but solid defensively.

 

He's EPL quality.

Hard as fuck and can't wait to see him put that wee shitebag Tierney into the club deck the same way Greig sent Jimmy Johstone flying into the jungle. 

I think he can be effective going forward but I think with Tav so offensively minded he's been telt that doing so would leave us a bit too exposed at the back.

Not seen enough of him to tell if he's good or not two games against us is all I have seen Flanigan if not for his off the field antics and loss of form is a level above what we usually see in the Scottish league now.

Based on the 2 games, Barisic goes straight in at LB for me tbh. But Flanagan will be good backup for either side and I'd have him playing before Hodson, Halliday, and Wallace (unless Wallace got to the levels he was at before).

I hope he's great and I think he will be we deserve a team that can beat everyone in our league after years of heartbreak.

Absolutely mate. 

[The Specky Forum Organiser 66,072]

I like him.

[AyrshireBlue 449]

He's done well considering we are judging him when he's playing out of position.

Hard as nails and has a good footballing brain.

[laudrupno1 3,932]

Solid old school defender does the basics well and defending is his priority which I prefer over defenders that think they're attackers and leave the back door open because they thought they were Ronaldo for 2mins.

[McEwan's Lager 30,874]

Been really critical of him so far but he was man of the match today in my opinion. Only shaded Goldson because he gave the ball away a couple of times cheaply.

Looks assured on the right and was positionally much stronger than on the left.
