Can he play inside as a number 10 or is he more of a hug the touchline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have to do pretty well to get in our squad in the next two years. Our midfield options are very good these days and some decent players don't make the squad.

He is magical on the ball and provided he retains his ability after filling out, it’s hard to imagine him not being in the squad. He is now undoubtedly a Rangers first team player, even though physically he has a way to go. I think that says something about his talent. If you trawl through these pages you’ll see I predicted him as being the next big thing a couple of years ago, and I certainly stand by it.

Lol steady on, hes only played a couple of times for Rangers first team. Is this guy an attacking midfielder or more a deep lying midfielder? Either way he has quite a bit of competition for those places. For example we have a midfielder playing serie a who probably won't get in our next squad. Even ryan Jack will struggle to get back in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting in the senior squad in the next 2 years will only happen if hes playing well every week for the rangers first team. I ain't ruling it out but its going to be tough for him to get in the squad given the options we have in midfield these days. Also liam Henderson is not a million miles away from a call up. We get a couple of injuries to our midfielders and he would easily be in contention for a call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does well the rest of this season and gets more games for Rangers. I still think its going to be tough to get in the squad over the next couple of years. Hes going to need to play very well in the games he gets to push ahead of gauld or Turnbull. If he's playing as a second striker he could still find himself competing against our forward players for a place n the squad. That means outperforming Adams, fraser, dykes, Christie, Stewart,nisbet,burke. Edited January 27, 2022 by mccaughey85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Lowry clip from last night. He is also one of those players who strikes the ball very early (Wayne Rooney an example). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thats the thing that impressed me most about Lowry last night (from highlights) and friday nights cup game. He has an end product which is rare for a young player. He also didnt just take the easy pass. There was a situation last night when he was down by the corner, turned back and Taviner was free to just roll the ball to but he held onto it for a couple of seconds and slipped a lovely pass into Itten. I was pleasently surprised that he started last night but my fear is that Rangers go out and buy / loan somebody to replace Hagi and or his game time is limited by the return of Aribo. Given games it looks like he has abit about him but still very early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan blood Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 16 year old Ben Doak getting about half an hour for Celtic today on his debut. He looks rapid, skillful and full of confidence.

He could be the next Shaun Maloney or the next Jack Aitchison. Impossible to say so early on, but yet another young promising Scot to add to the ever growing pile!

noctonjock Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just seen the QPR v Reading highlights . 2 decent goals for Dykes and an all round good performance from him . Marshall made a couple of decent saves too and another clean sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
