BEARGER 1,829 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Do not see this posted. EXCLUSIVE: Michael O'Halloran in Rangers row after failing to turn up for game Michael O'Halloran could be on his way out of Rangers after he seemingly refused to participate in a youth game. by James BIack and Callum Hamilton Apr 11, 2017, 9:00am PDT Michael O'Halloran could be set for the exit door at Rangers after he was a no-show for a youth game according to a number of sources. Rangers' Under-20s took on Hearts last night at Forthbank, winning 2-1. But O'Halloran was due to start for the side - and ended up being a no-show. To make matters worse, O'Halloran will have enraged not only the club's coaching staff but also a major figure in the first-team dressing room, as Kenny Miller - who was helping out with the swifts- was reported to be furious by his non-appearance. It's been a rocky road for O'Halloran ever since Mark Warburton shelled out £500,000 for his services last January. After initially looking good in flashes, he failed to really come up with any end product and couldn't nail down a starting place in the team, despite the right wing spot being up for grabs. Pedro Caixinha's arrival, and fondness for direct, pacy, physical wingers seemed to be the perfect opportunity for the wide man. He was hurled on at right-back against Motherwell, but it seems like his chance will already be blown after this. Whether there's a way back for O'Halloran isn't certain as there may have been a valid reason for his no-show, but we wouldn't expect to see him starting any time soon. Rangers were contacted for comment but have yet to respond. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 You just know that when he leaves he is going to slate Rangers. Another Ross McCormack waiting to happen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj_1872 0 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 According to some bears on Twitter this isn't the drama it has been made out to be. Sounds like a communication mix up between management and player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 STV now covering this. Michael O'Halloran fails to show up for Rangers U20s game Grant Russell 31 mins ago Raman Bhardwaj The club's coaching staff were surprised by the forward's no-show against Hearts. Michael O'Halloran failed to turn up for the game against Hearts. Michael O'Halloran was an unexpected no-show for Rangers' Under 20s match against Hearts on Monday night. The player was due to start the match in Stirling as an overage player but didn't turn up, to the surprise of the club's coaching staff. STV understands O'Halloran did attend training at Auchenhowie on Tuesday, despite failing to report for duty at Forthbank. The 26-year-old has made 36 appearances for the Ibrox side since joining from St Johnstone in January 2016. O'Halloran has made just six Premiership starts this campaign, the last coming away at Motherwell on January 28. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 From someone who's normally in the know. "Michael was asked to play for 20s by Pedro and as happy to do so. Pedro didnt advise when or where as he assumed youth coach would advise him. Youth coach assumed Pedro had told him. Its just been a mix up and he did not do it intentionally." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the tweet I was referring to. Any excuse to mention Rangers in a negative fashion eh? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'll wait until more details come out before casting aspersions on this one. However, I've said it before so I'll say it again: Michael O'Halloran is about as far away from Rangers class as the current squad has. A braindead signing at £500k. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
