A fucking shambles of a footballer. Can get to fuck. 

We seriously let Niko go out on loan and kept this fucking dud? Ross Wilson has a lot to answer to on these 2 Bournemouth boys.

The management team have seen enough of Katic, they know he's not going to be part of this 11 under Gerrard.

Think it was wishful thinking that Simpson MIGHT be coached into a player.

Never happening.

I'd have Katic over Simpson every day of the week.

He's about as far away from being suited to scottish football as its possible to be. Gerrard has been after him for so long though that he'll be too stubborn to admit it was a mistake of a signing. I'm not going to go OTT over Katic as he also has his weaknesses, but his style of play is exactly what we need in the bread and butter SPL games like today.

Badly at fault at the goal [shat it] but what about the chance that cunt Watt had early doors, and that's not counting how many times he gets brushed off the ball, this boy's done some job convincing people that he's a footballer, must have some library of incriminating photographs.

He's not a defender.

There might be an argument to say he's a tall footballer. But if so he should be playing midfield or left back for an English League 1/2 side. 

There are plenty of examples of Rangers players who have started poorly and came on to decent careers. In my 45+ years following the Gers there are zero cb's on that list. Craig Moore is an honorable exception because his first few shitstorms were at full back or on the right wing.

Gerrard has signed a very average player. You need to be strong, have pace or great positioning to be a good centre back. He is weak, slow and gets caught out of position frequently. Will never make it at Rangers. We loan Katic out and keep Simpson. Bad decision making. 

Bringing in him and Lundstram both are horrible mistakes. Neither are in any way improvements on what he have, in fact both are downgrades.

Hit submit before I meant to

If Rangers genuinely want to turn a profit on players they need to look at the players the Bheasts sell. They are guys who are regulars as teenagers. They might not be great but they start early and often. They are first team regulars at an age when Premiership sides think they can still develop.

I have no idea what Leon King or any of the other B team cb's will go on to be but there is zero value in a guy like Simpson taking appearances from their development.

And we let Katic out on loan.  If the management are rotating the CH then Katic should still be here and loaned Simpson.

Katic needed a consistent run of first team games after his injury. Gerrard was never going to give him that. He wasn't going to get in ahead of pre injury Helander, Goldson or Balogun.

Unfortunately hindsight is a bitch on this one as no one could have expected Helander to be out for months. 

Stuck with Simpson until January, unless we've got someone in the youth team able to come in.

Simpson is one these players that looks like a deer caught in the headlights when the ball is at his feet and in the position he plays it sticks out like a sore thumb. Indecisive and the pace of our play drops considerably because of his indecision in making a positive forward pass.

In the style of play we employ there is always someone available and he takes so long to make up his mind that the pass is gone by the time he does pass it which ends up with him getting it back leaving him no option but to pass it back to McGregor or , something he did a few times today , put it out of play.

Not good enough.

Can understand the hate towards the ayer but ultimately he's only doing the job he's paid to do. 

Blame for his performances, goals conceded and dropped points lies solely with the manager and no one else. No point venting at the player when the gaffer should be taking responsibility

He was always going to be shite, he played less than 40 games at age of 24.

See this “give him a chance” shite when we’re clearly making a poor signing it needs put in the bin. Along with Zungu, Lafferty etc it’s an obvious shite signing.

Very rare the odd one will prove you wrong, vast majority performs the same way their career history shows.

Haven't a scooby what the management see in the guy.  Baffling.  Rotating CH is also baffling, Balogun should be playing today.

We’ve signed squad players. In no way have we improved the 1st eleven and with injuries currently we are considerably weaker than last season.

Gerrard been rotating CB's since he came in. He's not going to change that approach.

Agree but haven't seen anything in Simpson to justify why he's getting game time. He doesn't look cut out for us at all.

That's what's criminal.

I know we have no money but the players brought in haven't come remotely close to lifting the level. Not one of them is an improvement when everyone's fit.

Not one of them even fit that 'template' Wilson raved about in one of his interviews about what a Rangers player should be.
