RANGERS flop Umar Sadiq been AXED mid-season.

The Nigeria striker, 21, is returning to Roma midway through his disastrous season-long loan with Gers.

No great surprise tbh. Good luck to the big man. He's going to need it based on what we've seen

A colleague has said he's heard Celtic have had a bid for Shankland accepted, but he went down to speak to Swansea instead of meeting Rodgers. Given he's from Glasgow (and went to a non-denominational school) that suggests to me he's a Rangers fan. A Celtic fan would have met with Rodgers. It'll be interesting to see if we make a bid.

An outside bet for a budget backup, Stephen Dobbie. He said a few weeks ago that the only club he'd join from QoS is Rangers. He's 36 but has scored 29 in 24 games this season. We'd certainly have been better advised to take him in at the beginning of the season as third choice striker instead of the silly gamble on Melman.

Shankland is a big Rangers fan and season ticket holder.

 

We're not going to be signing Stephen Dobbie.

Well if my colleague’s source is right it sounds like he’s been given the chance of doing an Allan/Morgan but isn’t taking it.

Doubt if it’s true but if there’s a profit of £M1 to be had, sell him.

Bring in Davis to point our half backs in the right direction and to steady the buffs .

We should.  He would be a cheap punt.  And the potential, given his goals record this season, is very clear.
