the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I went to the recent accies Dundee utd game. Not sure if this lad was playing but the only even remotely passable player on the park was ziggy Gordon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 As I said earlier we must be prepared for next season which means bringing in better quality players. Not Ali Crawford and such like So in other words you can't dispute what I said. Cool, gotcha 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 In the second tier of Scottish football. And in 3 of 4 games against teams of the superior league you fear so much. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Hamilton have a recent positive history of bringing through some good young players and currently Crawford and Ziggy Gordon are seen as their two best with both being rumoured for moves away over the last year or two due to their impressive form. Is he good enough for Rangers? I don't know but we only need look as James McCarthur and James McCarthy to see signing players from Hamilton is not necessarily a bad thing. As it stands Law, Shiels, Zelalem, Forrester and Ball will be leaving the club in the summer so that's five players who've all featured reasonably regularly in central midfield we'll need to replace. Crawford as just one of the five seems agreeable enough to me. Edited March 10, 2016 by Frankie 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,455 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 No one on here really knew anything about the following players , Foderingham , Tavineer , Kiernan , Forrester , Waghorn ,Holt ,and even Halliday , the general opinion was that they were a risk , were they really Rangers standard , we'll look how well that's turned out Come, come rbr, there was at least one poster on here who had written them off as not being good enough and bemoaning our manager for not signing players from Germany and Spain. One thing that Warburton has reminded us is that under the right manager, and in the right side, any player can excel. I'll be entirely honest and admit the career of Ali Crawford has completely passed me by, however I'd never heard of Tavernier, Kiernan or Waghorn this time last year either. You know I can remember when we were once linked with a youngish Falkirk centre half, a lot of fans weren't keen on the idea of signing players from Falkirk, we signed players from much bigger clubs. His name was Davie Weir, he did alright in then end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 It's also important to acknowledge that players can develop quickly at any time. Some will stand out early in their careers, others won't suddenly appear until later on. Dado Prso is quite a good example of this. That's why scouting is so important. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,278 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't think anyone is suggesting he's going to be the 'star signing' we all want/need, but he's a decent player that could bring something to the team. Weren't Arsenal looking at him at one point? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't Arsenal looking at him at one point? I think he's been linked with moves reasonably often to England and has certainly been a stand out in the SPL over the last season or two. Like you say, he's not a marquee signing (what a horrible term) but we need Scottish players in the squad for European rules purposes also. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
