He’s strong physically now and puts in a lot of effort to win the ball, and high quality when he gets it. Agreed. Best player in that team by a long way. They didn’t have much of ball in first half but more in second and I can’t recall Gauld giving ball away and as you say won the ball in midfield quite a lot. Very intelligent showing. Can’t say much for many of his teammates however. Most kept giving ball away. He would not be out of place in the Benfica team on that showing. Much rather see him than Burke or McBurnie.

It must be very frustrating for him playing in that team (albeit I still think they’d beat most SPFL teams). Gauld looks like he could really run the show with better players around him. The prospect of him playing with the likes of Jack, McTominay, Gilmour, Tierney etc is very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been like that all season. I've watched him more than a dozen times now. More times than not he's been the best player on the park. For a relegation fodder of a team, that's remarkable. I'd put him in front of Christie (Gauld is playing at a much higher level) and Fraser. You'll get people that will sneer at that suggestion, but those are the people that don't watch football that is played outside of the UK; the "Out of sight, out of mind" mentality.

Fraser on the pitch for close to 40 minutes and touched the ball 8 times. Won't lose any sleep if he never plays for Scotland again at this rate. 1 hour ago, GHfaeGTA said: Agreed.

Mind you he doesn't pass it unless there is a pass worth risking otherwise he either runs with the ball or shoots. He has to step up soon to see if he can have as much impact for a better team in a better league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always rated him but he looks even better than I thought. His end product maybe still needs to be improved but he looks very composed and confident. Another contender for support striker, probably from next season. It's been a while since we had a "he's played five minutes for Rangers so we need to consider him for Scotland" post 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll need reconditioning of course. If there are others you think could play for the Rangers first eleven, and therefore probably Scotland, do get in touch. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played the full 90 twice this whole season and he's been injured for a fair chunk of his career. Let's call him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 To be honest it was commented in here prior to Rangers interest in him that Wright was playing well. If he gets into the Rangers team regularly he will definitely come into the national team reckoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he would want to return to Sporting after way they treated him last time. Also not sure he would want to move to another foreign country now that he speaks fluent Portuguese? Then again maybe he fancies also speaking Spanish. I’m sure his style of play would be suited to Spain or Italy. Hopefully he gets a move to a big(ish) team.

The potential is there and if he pushes himself in to a starting slot and scores regularly in the champions league next season against the likes of Bayern, juventus and Liverpool it will be hard to ignore his claim for a squad place.

ceudmilefailte Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hanley played on the left side of defence tonight and managed his second worst who scored rating of the season despite Norwich winning 3-1. Going by the Norwich Forum there are a lot of very tired players in the championship having played more games than the teams in the EPL on far worse surfaces with a lot less strength in depth to rotate. Funny creatures Norwich fans, 10 pts clear and still all they do is slag of the manager Might be a good thing if Dykes gets dropped for a couple of games. Kenny McLean got an assist🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about League one Liam? I think some of the comments on here about Leeds fans opinions about him show just how hard it is to be objective watching your own team some times. A lot of Man u fans will never rate McTominay no matter what he does, or I never rated Anya no matter what he did and there are even people who still won't rate McBurnie no matter how many goals he scores for Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
