Did Ryan Jack from Aberdeen excite you? Kamara for £50K from Dundee? What is a first team pick anyway? We thought Ramsey from Juventus was one? Diallo from Manchester United too. We were going into the Scottish Championship when we signed Tavernier - I still think Bassey is shite - Morelos - had no idea about him tbh but he was young and came with a decent reputation from a team that has historically developed players - Jack was a good signing and I said it on here at the time despite our usual fan snobbery about other Scottish players - Kamara was a very good performer in any game against us and them then Gerrard took him to a new level The key thing about every signing above is age Ross Stewart would be 26 by the time he signs for us (if we sign him), has had 1 decent goalscoring season in his career and that is at League One level + Sunderland would want £2-3m minimum for him if they don't get promoted and more than that if they do get promoted KeyserSoze 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to sign a few players that can be at that level now. theweebluenose, RangersMedia, scottyscott1963 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is we need more Scottish players in the squad for Europe. I’d rather we promote from within, as I still get the fear over the summer of 19/20 where we just filled the squad wish pish SPFL signings falkirkNS and RangersMedia 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Neil was pretty direct to the point where Stewart could even take it the wrong way There is no way he has 'leaked' this to try and make any sort of money out of his main player whilst they're in a promotion battle The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had his early hype, got his big deal in France and didn’t particularly impress, has had a couple of loans back to England which haven’t worked out. Got year long loan to us with an option to buy written all over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
