If he was 20/21 I'd agree but shadowing Tavernier and training daily with Kent, Barisic, etc will help him greatly. If we let him go on loan, we'd have to sign a back up RB which would block Patterson on his return. If Tavernier keeps up this form he'll be gone in the summer. His contract ends in 2022, so Rangers will probably have to sell in the summer. He could easily double his wage and is wanted by 5/6 top 10/12 sides English sides. Would Rangers dare to sell Tavernier in the January window if the right offer comes in ( i.e too good to turn down)? If that happened and Celtic won the league then think the Ibrox board would be on a one way trip to God knows where. Best case Scotland scenario is that Tavernier goes in January and Gerrard thinks Patterson is ready to step on on a regular basis. No evidence yet that Gerrard thinks that way about youngsters.

He's 29 with 18 months left on his contract if someone came in with 18/20 million he'd be off. Realistically no one is going to offer that kind of money. You'd maybe get 8-10 million pound bids. It's not worth letting him go for that mid season, when you could probably get 6-9 million in the summer anyway. Basically it would take a ridiculous bid and no one is paying that, for a 29 year old. I really like the look of Patterson. He is reminiscent of Alan Hutton. I think he will be first choice next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers look odds-on now to win the SPL title. Tavernier is a key player in that side and next season they'll be having a tilt at the Champions League and Tavernier will be on board for that without a doubt. That, therefore, is another 18 months or so of Patterson kicking his heels feeding off the odd appearance here and there when he could be elsewhere playing week in and week out - the best and only way to develop as a player. Don't misread my comments. I rate Patterson a lot and I am thinking as a Scotland fan. I'd sooner see him playing regular first team football rather than bench warming for 10% of his career.

I thought you’d have sobered up by now. If he’s in the bench when he’s 21 fair enough. He was 18 six weeks ago. Rangers have 6 games a fortnight for the dirsreabke future. Patterson can expect one game per fortnight and the best training of his entire career. He’s up against Kent don’t forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Pretty sure Patterson is the only rangers right back apart from tavernier. If that's the case then rangers won't be loaning him out. Hopefully we see this kid play games as tavernier will need rested what with all the competitions rangers are in. Is Patterson any good? not seen much of him. Not sure it's a good idea pinning our hopes of him being a top class right back until he starts playing and performing well for rangers.

He’s potentially very good. He still has a bit of physical developing to do but he’s tall, lighting quick, with a good first touch. He stood out at youth level. That Rangers haven’t bought a back up for Tavernier tells its own story. He’ll get a lot more games between now and the end of the season, especially if the league is won early, but also if not.

Other countries have teenagers in regular first team football and that is what Patterson needs not when he is 21. Gilmour is proving that at Chelsea and would be ideal for Patterson.

Would be good to see Shankland spark into form though so hopefully he goes on a run in the new year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
