There's more pressure on a Motherwell player than a player playing reserve football.It’s a very different doing it for a pish Motherwell side with no pressure and for us

That is absolutely insane.I’d argue our youth teams have had bigger games than Motherwell’s first team in recent years

You trying to say Motherwell v Rangers at Fir Park, or Ibrox doesn't dwarf any youth game?
Not to mention their recent semis and finals at Hampden?
Mental statement mate.
Hastie is a terrific prospect and will be an excellent signing.
Give him a chance, hes first competitive start last nightI was meaning games Hastie has been involved in, not a huge sample to be fair.
I don’t see him any better than Middleton at the minute. Neither is ready for our first team if we’re pushing for the league and in Europe this season.

He’s got potential and looked decent last night but can’t see him being a regular this season.
This. I think it would be best if we loaned him back to Motherwell for a season to continue his development
Thought he looked fairly dangerous, but also had a couple of disappointing moments in terms of chances - though I think the one I was most disappointed in was when their defence parted like the Nile (due to his drive into space) - Morelos was wide open and he didn't play the pass - really should've got the head up.
No point in being overly critical at this stage too - am sure Gerrard will be letting him know what he's got to work on, and there is raw material there.
He certainly impressed for Motherwell last season mate.
Scored some quality goals too.
What I did notice though is he played on the right for Motherwell and was very strong and direct cutting in on to his left foot.
Definitely seemed more comfortable there.
One for the future, who'll do very well for us.
Not if you’re on record as you want to keep him onside and in the squad. Life is all about opinions so we’ll agree to disagree on this one.I understand what you're saying mate, but Gerrard had clearly decided he'd 4 better options in Arfield,Ojo, Stewart and Jones for the positions behind the striker, so Candeias was never going to play in these games.
Hastie only started last night because the tie was already won and Gerrard wanted to use the opportunity to give him experience of a big game atmosphere at Ibrox.
That's good man management imo.
You do realise that the Motherwell fans wouldn’t exactly welcome him back with open arms? Never underestimate the hatred there is for us amongst other fans.
I agree with you mate! Although he is young and will most likely improve.. i was disappointed that he never tucked his sitter away last night.. actually think Middleton is the better of the two, just my opinion not slating the lad.. plenty of time etc etc.Only one game but I’m not sure what he brings to the team that Middleton doesn’t
He missed some absolute sitters. Technically he’s behind, was a bizarre signing. He needs to go out of loan however Gerrard has seen something in him and hopefully Hastie can find something and be a great Ranger.
Thought when we signed him best to be loaned out given options we have.
Last night he looked so raw. Seemed to let the occasion get on top of him. He hasn't actually played that much top team football. My honest opinion is he isnt probably ready for first team football at Ibrox. Loan move is best.
It’s a difficult one. I’d say sending him straight out on loan, rather than helping his confidence, will dent it. I’d keep him at Ibrox under our guidance at least until January, probably until next Summer. Sending him out could do more harm than good.
I get that but he simply isnt going to get meaningful game time imo.
Ojo. Arfield. Jones. Stewart. Possibly candieas and possibly Kent all vying for positions. Hes needing games. I'd like to see him at st Johnston or such like playing every week because he came through recently ag motherwell
The boy's hardly in the door and he's pish with some on here.
How does that not surprise me.
