Or maybe the club didn't know this was how things would pan out. Just a thought. Perhaps Valencia have done a U-turn? But hey, any opportunity to get a dig in at the people running the club, eh? :box:

Glad to hear this but he needs to prove his worth. Walter should give him a chance but if he gets a chance he has to perform from the start. The Rangers first team is not a place to nurse players along it is a place you have to perform if you get a chance. If you are good enough you are old enough but you do have to be good enough.

Exclusive by Andrew Dickson

 

AARON admits he can't wait to return to Rangers after starring for Spain's under-20 side at the Mediterranean Games in Italy.

 

The on-loan Valencia winger has been a standout for his country at the tournament in Pescara, scoring twice as his team has reached the final.

 

Aaron NiguezAaron netted as he played the full 90 minutes in their opening 2-2 draw with Tunisia on June 25 and struck again as a substitute in a 3-0 win over Albania four days later.

 

The 20-year-old then turned in his best performance of the tournament last night as France were beaten 2-1 in the semi-finals.

 

Aaron played 75 minutes of that triumph and now he's looking forward to going for the gold medal against the host nation on Sunday.

 

The youngster also has one eye on next season and he's hoping it can be a landmark campaign for him as he tries to establish himself at Ibrox.

 

Contrary to some reports, Aaron will be returning to Glasgow to complete his two-year loan move from Valencia rather than going back to his homeland.

 

And with manager Walter Smith set to make more use of the club's up-and-coming talents next term, the Spaniard feels confident he can make an impact.

 

Aaron made five appearances for Rangers in 2008/09 - four as a substitute - and scored twice in the Scottish Cup against Forfar Athletic and Hamilton.

 

Aaron NiguezHe said: "Valencia wanted me to go back to them for this season but I was keen to come back to Rangers.

 

"I am due to spend one more year at the club and I want to stay there. I think it is a good place for me to be and I want to help the team to do well.

 

"I am hopeful I can play more football than I did in my first season in Scotland because I have got used to the game there now and I feel I have improved.

 

"I was very happy in Glasgow and I'm looking forward to going back there and trying to win more trophies for the club."

 

Aaron has been pleased with his performances in Italy over the last week as he has continued to make an impression at international level.

 

The likelihood is - as is the case with Madjid Bougherra and DaMarcus Beasley - that he will be given extra time off after playing football through the summer.

 

Most of Smith's squad will report back to Murray Park for pre-season training next Thursday as they start preparing for their SPL title defence.

 

But while Aaron should get a few extra days off, he's eager to return to Auchenhowie too and show he's ready for regular first-team football with the Light Blues.

 

Aaron celebrates winning the SPL with Nacho NovoHe added: "Things have gone very well for me in Italy. We drew our first game 2-2 and I scored then I got another goal against Albania.

 

"I feel I have been playing some good football, especially against France in the semi-final. I didn't score in that game but for me, it was my best match.

 

"Now we have the final against Italy at the weekend and that should be an exciting game because they are the host country.

 

"When we finish here, I will be looking forward to coming back to Rangers and it will be good to get back to training there.

 

"I am not sure if I will get extra time off or not because I have been playing in Italy. I will have to speak to the manager about that.

 

"But even if I get a few more days off to go home and relax, I will be keen to come back to Rangers after that and get started again."

Have to say Im very happy to read this. I thought we lost a talented player when he was for the off.

 

But agree with most comments so far...he needs to prove it now and that means WS has to give him a run in the team. He had 1 start last season which proves he hasnt had a chance. And i dont buy it when some people say "why do you think WS hasnt played him"...meaning he isnt good enough.

 

Sounds like he is starring in this competition in Italy...anyone know what position he is playing??
