ian1964 10,416 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Gary McAllister says Rangers will be building from the back in transfer market NEW Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister has hinted Steven Gerrard will prioritise sorting out their side’s defence first as they prepare to start their Ibrox revolution. Rangers ended the season in third place for the second season in a row as they finished behind Aberdeen in second and champions Celtic. Liverpool legends Gerrard and McAllister will take over at Rangers on June 1 and it’s certain to be a fascinating adventure. The pair have spent the past few days in Dubai as ambassadors of Liverpool and they appeared at the LFC World event in the United Arab Emirates. The pair watched Rangers’ thrilling 5-5 with Hibs on Sunday and were spotted in animated conversation during the encounter. And the 53-year-old, who won 57 caps for Scotland, admitted the Easter Road showdown gave him and his new boss plenty of food for thought. He said: “When you watch the game and see a scoreline of 5-5 I think that kind of suggests what’s wrong... “But there’s a lot of positives too. Going forward and scoring five goals away from home is good at least. “Look, it’s going to be a tough task. “When I first sat down with Steven I saw the glint in his eye about the job of managing Rangers. I could see the hunger and desire and I’m exactly the same. “We are going to go up to Glasgow and give it our best shot. “I’m really, really excited about it and so is Steven. Rangers are a massive, massive club and it will be a great challenge for us.” http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/16225913.Gary_McAllister_says_Rangers_will_be_building_from_the_back_in_transfer_market/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Aye, but we signed a midfielder first instead of a defender.... so we are clearly doing things wrong already... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,674 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Obviously makes sense. We're the highest scoring team in the league but leaking goals. Sort that and we're looking at a whole different scenario. Wondering what Gerrard thinks of Alves. Would he consider pairing him with another experienced man. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,628 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I hope not. Alves is past it, Martin is mediocre and McCrorie is better at CDM. We need a new central defence. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sentence is too simplistic though. What if some of the reason we scored so many was because we were overloading players, leaving space at the back, hence the loss of so many goals ? It isn't as simple as saying that fixing one won't negatively influence the other. No thanks on Alves beside more experience, unless that experience has pace - because Alves is slower than me, and that really is something... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
