  1. He seems to have gone up a level at City. He was rated at Rangers but not at the same level as Lowry, King, etc. Obviously made the right choice to leave and unlike his brother Dapo, Dire seems to have the right attitude. Hopefully keeps developing and we could have some pace on the wings. Dire was was wanted by Spurs, Brugge and PSV in the summer, so he seems we'll rated. PSV at the minute are wonderkid central and are constantly signing top rated young players.
  2. He had a good game and could've scored. After a first start like that, I'll be shocked if he doesn't begin to play more.
  3. He had a big test aswell. Van Veen is a very tough ST to deal with. Bit of pace, strength, height and a lot of skill. I thought Van Veen gave him a bit of a hard time but King grew well into the game and had a decent game. I was surprised how good in the air King was. He did leap and strength training outwith the club before pre season began. It seems to have massive worked, he has came on leaps and bounds physically since the summer. It also shows how much he his working towards himself and the future. There are quite a few games before the World Cup break. So he should get a lot of first team games with Goldson and Souttar out until atleast the end of the World Cup. Sands is there but it seems King has shot passed him.
  4. Devine is eligible still aswell. McKinnon, Weston and others out on loan are also eligible. Bar McAussland and Fraser the Rangers team is fairly young and has quite a few 2006s. Outside of Doak it's an older Liverpool side. Stuff like that needs to be taken into consideration.
  5. If Liverpool keep wracking up the injures, he might be there sooner than most think. Ure I'm not sure about. He has decent technique but will take a poor touch at times. He has the build so there is every chance, but he just reminds me of another Rudden and Hardie. Decent at youth level but never making it at Rangers.
  6. Goldson off injured. Looks like he's done his thigh. Hopefully just a strain and not a tear. King on and could probably cement his place until the winter break, depending on the severity of Goldson's injury.
  7. English clubs can't sign pre contracts with players based in England. If they are under a certain age they also have to pay large compensation (in the millions)
  8. Yeah outside of drawing Turkey or Greece in Pot 3 it's the worst draw we could've got. Even then Georgia are an improving side with a top tier winger.
  9. King came on early in the second half for Rangers and had a solid game. He played a peach of a pass to Tav in the build up for Rangers 4th. It seems King has went ahead of Sands and became 3rd choice CB now. Hopefully he keeps developing and ousts Goldson next season.
  10. I really hope he doesn't end up at Celtic or Rangers (no chance of that lol). Going away from the UK and learning a different style would be great for him. That game against Ukraine will have definitely got him on the radar of a few clubs.
  11. Similar but McGregor had more successful loans at 23/24. McCrorie has sat in the stands at the same age. I honestly don't know why McCrorie hasn't been out on loan or just our straight out number 2. When we had that covid outbreak last season, he started in Europe and against Celtic keeping 2 clean sheets and playing well. Then he was never seen again. He's clearly rated by both Rangers and Scotland but unless he has been promised to be number 1, it seems a strange career decision to stay with Rangers. I hope it works out and he becomes Rangers and Scotland number 1 but at the minute I don't see it working that way.
  12. McGregor started breaking in at mid 24 but was always dropped by PLG for Letzi when he was fit. Once PLG went he became number 1. That was roughly when he turned 25.
  13. He was solid. Passing looked a lot better than it did under Gemmell against NI u21. I said at the last squad I'd have King in the squad as a 6th choice CB. No need for him to play but he will learn a lot playing and training with top players. Also integrates him early into the squad and get used to everything and everyone. He's going to be a top player. Because he's been talked about for so long. People forget King's only 18. King was one of Rangers only bright lights today. King has been rated the best prospect at Ibrox since he was a kid. Rated higher than Gilmour and Patterson, which says a lot. My 5/6 CBs would be McKenna, Hendry, Porteous, King, Tierney. Then 1/2 of Hanley, Souttar, Cooper, Kingsley.
  14. He did well. Nice technique and link play. Conner Allan was Rangers only shining light. Looked very solid at CB. Good technique and read the game well.
  15. Hopefully this last incident has been the thing that's finally screwed his nut. If he keeps it up, then he might play his way back into contention.
  16. Kopp was talking him up recently, saying he's training well and will go to play for the u23s to get match fitness. He's had no preseason and a couple of injuries. I doubt Ramsey is seen until after the World Cup. I can see him starting the FA Cup game in January.
  17. We are just constantly playing long balls from GK and our CBs. We've got good technical players, we don't need to be playing this way. It's the managers choice and it results in poor displays from good young players. Gemmell really needs to go and has needed to go for 4/5 years. The problem is the SFA would just hire another archaic dinosaur.
  18. Rangers u19 currently 2 nil up at halftime against Napoli u19s. Outplaying them and RB Harkness has been good. 2 Assists so far. Ure has scored one and hit the bar. Technically competing well at this level. Outplaying Napoli and unlucky not to atleast draw with Ajax last week. Lovelace, McAussland, Niso and Lindsay are the non Scots. So 7 Scots competing Technically against that level of opponent is very good. Devine, Lowry and King would also still be eligible to play, if made available for it.
  19. It's the low centre of gravity. He has that powerful running gait, where you can just power past people. Middleton might still make it. I doubt he'll be a regular starter but we'll eventually transition back to 4 atb and will need wide players. He has the potential to be a decent player, he just needs to find a manager who will help him get it all together.
  20. He was. Came in out of position and played decent. I really wish we just let Goldson go in the summer. King is more than good enough to be a starter. I can honestly see King being another Patterson and leaving for good money before he becomes a starter at Rangers. He's been talked about that long it's crazy to think he's still only 18 Physically he has taken a step up this summer and looks far stronger. Like Scotland did with Gilmour and Patterson, I'd have him called up to the main squad. Not to play but just to be in training and getting used to the squad. Like Patterson, it's clear King will be a star.
  21. We hit the bar 3 times. Should have gotten atleast a draw. However at this level it isn't about results and is about performances. We played well and competed Rangers u19s went toe to toe with one of the best youth teams in the world and put in an impressive performance. Harness at RB and Fraser at LB were great.
  22. He is eligible for England and Nigeria aswell so we need to be careful. Don't want to lose a very promising youngster. I seen Dapo Mebude has joined kV Oostende. That's the side Hendry went to from Celtic. Hopefully this move does the same for Dapo. There is a good footballer there, just needs to find the right place and develop.
  23. I mean just over a year ago nearly everyone was wanting Griffiths back in the squad. I'd argue he's as big a scumbag as McBurnie. We also had a CB who caved in a cooks scull with a baseball bat. I'm not saying we should give McBurnie a call up (far from it). Just saying we had 2 scumbags in our squads just over a year ago.
  24. Scott Wright had a great game against County. He was probably MOTM. Leon King came on at half time and did well. Technically he is amazing and will be a star. He seems to have done a lot of work on himself physically this summer. He seems a lot stronger and his leap of the ground has improved. Elliot Anderson came on against Wolves and went very close to scoring. I can see England going all in to try and get him to switch to England.
