Loyal72 11,201 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Can't just be bad luck beyond a certain point, signing policies need to be reviewed and potentially training methods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus 1,381 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 It says they have been unavailable for 43% of the games so that must mean they have been available for 57%? Bad Robot, kanjo, OhW and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,286 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 You always get the impression that players burst a gut to play for teams that are winning trophies because most platers want to retire with medals to show off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gascoigne's Flute 258 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Some of the summer signings have just had bad luck and some we shouldn't have signed. Our high profile signings Yilmaz & Lawrence were hardly injured for their previous teams but just picked up hamstring & knee injuries with us. Matondo (although pish) Tillman apart from a minor knock, Cantwell and Raskin have all been fine. Souttar was as injury prone as they come before we signed him and it's the same story with us now. Im sure we signed Davies knowing he wasnt fit to come straight into the 1st team aswell. Its the players we signed in previous seasons that are having a knock on effect. Roofe is another whos injuries are now catching up with him, Helander is done and Hagi was unlucky getting a bad injury so cant be too harsh. Questions need to be asked of the medical team and fitness coaches why players are injured for so long and how we manage their recovery if it can be done quicker.

KingKirk 25,655 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 What's Lawrence's injury btw he's been out almost the season and I don't remember it being reported what the injury was? 12 weeks remaining of the season if we reach the final of the Scottish cup. We probably won't see Souttar, yilmaz, Lawrence until next season now our luck with injuries has been brutal this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's training on his own and not with the squad yet. I expect he is still weeks away. The worst-case scenario for a fully torn hamstring is twelve weeks. Ridvan has exceeded it. I could be speculating, but I question his commitment. There have always been murmurs of him returning to a big club in Turkey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, mate. Don't defend him here. We signed them for games like Sunday. He fucked it. Only at Rangers does it take time to bed in players when there is no need. Raskin has looked like he belongs since his first kick of a ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit about players only needing time to bed in at Rangers is laughable. Laughable? What other reason is there why they were on the bench if not to ease them in slowly? Especially, as you say, they are the future. (in other words, good enough) I initially understand Beale's explanation behind starting Kamara & Lundstram, but the fact he doubled down after the match and still didn't admit his error was concerning.

Swagger 8,058 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Can’t say much about Yilmaz but Lawrence seems the only decent addition. Gone from an apparent nothing injury to a season ender. Soutter can get to fuck anytime he wants Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Souttar’s Rangers career lasted literally five minutes, which is the amount of time from kickoff to his getting rag dolled by the Livingston striker for a goal in the opening game.
