der Berliner 3,251 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 He signed a two year deal today mate. Yep, that news sprang around the same time I posted my question. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm not holding my breath mate. I'm sure Ally will find a role for him in the team. Aye, you never know, but he might still get cut loose before the transfer window closes. We really can't afford to be paying big money for a 36 year old to play as a central defender when he isn't even a defender. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Davison 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The two younger goalkeepers at Rangers must surely be in despair. It is decisions like this that leads to Ally getting deserved criticism. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 The two younger goalkeepers at Rangers must surely be in despair. Especially Gallacher who actually turns 25 in a few weeks. When Alexander left, Gallacher should have been given the number 1 keeper spot and should have got a whole season of experience under his belt in the 3rd tier last season, then at this point we're at now it could have been decided whether he was good enough to continue as our number 1 in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hard to see a future for Gallagher now, which is a shame to say the least as he did not look out of place at the start of last season. Would not be shocked if Simmo got another deal next season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I see Simmo's twitter account is now in 'protected' mode. I'm guessing he must have been taking a power of abuse after the news of his signing was released today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Rangers have completed the signing of former Hearts captain Marius Zaliukas. The Lithuania central defender has signed a two-year contract following a successful trial period. The 30-year-old also trained with the club last summer but ended up with Leeds where he only made 15 appearances. It was a busy day for the club as goalkeeper Steve Simonsen also signed a new contract. Simonsen made three appearances as back-up to Cammy Bell last season but he said he turned down the chance to be first-choice goalkeeper elsewhere to sign a one-year deal, just ahead of their pre-season tour of North America. The 35-year-old told the club's official website said: 'I had a lot of other teams getting in contact and it was a little bit like buses this summer. 'A few in England and Scotland got in touch but as soon as the manager expressed his interest in bringing me back here again it was a non-competition. 'This was the only place I wanted to come to and there's massive appeal here because I thoroughly enjoyed it at Rangers last season. 'It's a fantastic football club as everybody knows. When I got the call, I just told the manager I'd be here whenever he needed me. I couldn't wait to get back. 'I could maybe have gone somewhere else as the number one but I'm just delighted to be back and I'm looking forward to working alongside Cammy again.'

Not exactly his fault; poor show if Gers fans have been abusing him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Ally letting his mate go but at least there appears to be a recognition that we need (and have indeed signed) a better and younger player for the position. To be fair to McCulloch; the partnership with Mohsni only conceded a goal every other game which is pretty fair even in the 3rd division (and 3 x better than the next best). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,504 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 What do we reckon we still need? I'm talking for this season before some come on and say a whole new team. I'd be pretty confident going in with what we have now providing Coisty plays the likes of McGregor and Zaliukas in there preferred positions...... no laughing at the back! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
