It is likely that if we spend and look to improve it is likely there will be less Scottish players in the first XI. Equally, as we sell our best players gaps may be filled by the likes of Henderson, Christie and some of the good young players at the club. when you signed Armstrong, gms and cifci was only done as no opposition meant all was being done on the cheap, including manager seem to remember when weren't doing so well, which was down to manager, comments were that if sign Dundee United players, you become Dundee United in more challenging times you would not have signed or played an Armstrong don't personally expect any Scottish signings this summer as Rodgers will be given reasonable level of cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £ lost 18% against the dollar which is the global trading currency, the euro was stable against the dollar . Where can you see the £ gaining back that 18% during the next 2 years ?

Equally, as we sell our best players gaps may be filled by the likes of Henderson, Christie and some of the good young players at the club. The Scottish market is a good one for Rangers. Aberdeen for once have done the sensible thing and bought good Scottish players (or foreigners from Scottish clubs) for decent, but not crazy, money. It's not rocket science, cherry pick affordable players from your rivals with a proven ability to perform at the level required. At least it keeps the buyers's money in Scotland where it can be used by the selling club to develop more players, instead of Eastern Europe or League 2 or below in England.

How many teams could put a team out next weekend? Another version of it might be a good idea but unless we improve the deal we get from TV, any half decent player would still move south after a handful of good games. In Scotland? Every single side I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always got a Scottish spine to the team. On Saturday we had Taylor, Wilson, K. Boyd, McKenzie & S.Boyd start. Kiltie should start tomorrow night now he's fit too. Macdonald, Smith, Frizzell Not ideal but I'd imagine we'll be better next season. Last season we had tons of games with 8 or 9 Scot's regularly starting. Lee Clark signed some amount of sh1te but still quite a few Scottish players playing regularly in spite of this. Definitely would like to see it higher though.

scottishedgar Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Saints had 7 scottish starters v Hamilton. Obviously down to 5 for the 2nd half 8 in each of the previous 2 games 9 in game before. Unfortunately a combined total of 3 Scotland mins in there though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
