It seems like there must have been at least a couple over the last 20 or so years but I can't think of anyone other than Velicka who was a loan. Is McCrorie not going on loan too though?

Not used google or wikipedia or anything so not entirely sure of the order of his career path as he started out when I was just a child. Can think of a fair few who have went from Aberdeen to Rangers - Robertson, Wright, Snelders, Jack to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard a few times that Bryson is a twat and always in the huff and he hates it Aberdeen. If true he can feck off Rumours a plenty that they’ve both been sacked and because of all this fallout, McKenna & Cosgrove have handed in transfer requests with Cormack fuming at them all. Logan, Mcgeoch & Hedges also upset with how other players have been treated and all want to leave too. All rumours as I say, but could be interesting to see what happens.

Scotty CTA Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Imagine what it must be like for Ross McCrorie going to bed a Sevconian and waking up a Dandy... “It has been a very busy day. I wanted to come up first thing this morning to get everything sorted as quickly as possible. “I am really looking forward to it. I have had a look around and the facilities here at Cormack Park are different class. I have seen pictures of it before, but when you actually see it in real life, it is very impressive. “I know a few of my teammates already. I know Matty Kennedy, he is an Ayrshire boy the same as me. I’ve played with Lewis Ferguson quite a few times with the Scotland U21s, so it is an easy group to come into because I know a lot of the boys. “I feel at the age I am at I just want to be playing regular first team football, that is why I told Rangers that I wanted to leave. It’s for the good of my career that I had to leave, to develop as a player and I feel as if Aberdeen is the right place for me to go on and improve myself as a player and as a person. “I heard of Aberdeen’s interest a couple of days before I signed. Aberdeen is a massive club, so I was flattered when I heard the club was interested in me. I spoke to the gaffer and when he explained about the ambition here, that made it a no brainer. “I wanted to come up to Aberdeen and I’m really happy that I will join on a permanent deal after this season. It’s a huge club. There is a lot of history around the club with its success in European football as well. “Everything that the gaffer said was right for me and I felt immediately as if this was the place for me to come and develop as a player and to move my game on. I’ve played against Aberdeen in the past and what I liked about the gaffer is that he knew exactly how I played. He spoke to me about a couple of positions that I can play. “I can play a few different positions, but I am more or less a centre midfielder. Last season I was at Portsmouth and I played right-back down there. At Rangers, over the last couple of seasons I have played in centre midfield. Being able to play a few different positions can help out the team and the gaffer and it gives him a few different options. “Portsmouth are a massive club too, so playing there and at Rangers is good preparation for joining another big club here. It is a really nice area down there and the fans are tremendous. They were unbeaten at home last year and I think that was down to the fans helping them out. I really enjoyed my time there and they were unlucky that they couldn’t gain promotion, but it was a great experience. “I have been used to playing under the pressure and expectations of supporters and I think I thrive on it. The expectation is really high at Aberdeen, you are expected to be up there and to challenge. I want to help the team out as best as I can and win a few trophies on the way. “I am fit and available to play if required on Thursday. “Hopefully I can then also make my home debut at Pittodrie on Sunday. My twin brother Robby is at Livingston. I don’t think we have ever played against each other at any level as we have always grown up together in the same team, so if we both play on Sunday, it could be the first time that we have played against each other!” (Hibs must hate us.)

I'm supposed to be working but they're making me redundant tomorrow so this sound like a more valuable use of my time. I'll report back!! *Unfortunately that didn't take as long as I'd hoped.

Debian Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 He will be a very good signing I fear. Hopefully there is a decent sell on fee/buyback clause in the deal in case he matures in to that Rangers captain Gerrard shouted about.
