While I agree wholeheartedly James Forrest is gash and shouldn't get in a squad ever again, I do think McKay has a bit more something which makes him more of a talent than him.

Tough argument to make given the stats. McKay: Played 20, Goals 2, Assist 4. Forrest: Played 14, Goals 4, Assist 5. Given that Rangers are doing well, his numbers are pretty bad. Forget Forrest if you like, compare him to the wide men at Aberdeen and Hearts. He has significantly worse numbers than all of them. McGinn, Cowie, Hayes and Walker. You can carry on down the league table for players in wide positions.. Swanson at st Johnstone, Boyce at Ross Country, Erskine at Partick, Coulibaly at Kilmarnock.. they all have much better stats that McKay. I'm not saying "he's rubbish, forget about him", because I'd agree he has shown promise. But, he's not a kid anymore, he's 22 now. He needs to start turning promise into end product. For me he's not even close to being in the squad. In the wing slots, he's behind Burke, Snodgrass, Philips, Fraser, Anya, Forrest, Ritchie, Murphy, Boyd and probably even Naismith. I hope McKay comes good, but he currently has no end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 On surely a unanimous note, Burke's burst of pace and finish against Rangers was tremendous. He needs to play in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on the wing he will be expected to defend more, he's far better going the other way although tracking back is something they are working on at RB. Either way, assuming he's still fit. He has to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Gauld makes the breakthrough because his vision and defence splitting passes in the final third is exactly what's required to get the best from Burke.

If this game v Canada is ever confirmed Gauld is one of the many uncapped fringe players if you like who may/should get a run out. Sadly I doubt our managers ability to try Gauld or any of them. I have doubts in his ability to pick Burke too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not read what I wrote then. He's not good enough right now. The stats are plain to see, he's probably not even in the top 10 wingers I the SPL right now. Could he improve? Yes. And I hope he does. But at the moment he's one of those players who has good moments and no end product. To become a genuinely good player he needs to start producing. Compare him to Ryan Fraser who has more end product having played half as many games at a much higher level. It's pretty clear which one should get a call up.

No dispute from me that Fraser should be called up. He was rank rotten for the u21s (as was McKay) so it shows how things can change for players.

Jacques Hunt Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Christoph Berra in action tonight for Ipswich in FA Cup replay at Lincoln. Unfortunately, he looks more like a Sunday league 'ale house' centre half than an an international footballer so far. Looks unfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best centre half, would have agreed up until watching this, partly why I posted in first place. Non league Lincoln City FFS. How has it got this bad? Christoph just got a dunt in the pus there.

If he continues the way he’s going for Rangers, it’s possible.” Anything is possible, christ even Conor Sammon played in a top league. At 22 i've little from McKay to prove that he could cut it at a higher level other than sign for relegation fodder like Burnley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
