Calvin Bassey

[Hurricane Run]

He is young and raw, but also has composure. To come on against strong European opposition and put in that kind of performance says a lot about him.
I am more than confident he will excel with our current coaching staff.

Absolutely. We are extremely well coached. Il be honest I was a bit concerned when Borna went down. It was a tough away fixture against a very good team, Bassey rose to the occasion though and certainly didn't look out of place

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

His physique has definitely helped him settle into Scottish football imo.

I remember the Motherwell game, can't remember who it was from them tried to make the tackle and stop Bassey and he just bounced off him and landed on the deck.

And Calvin just got to his feet with the Well player on the ground

 

[Trueblue76]

Thought he was excellent on Thursday night, still learning, think he has great potential.

Tell you what, I would put out of a 50/50 with Bassey and have no complaints about taking abuse from my team mates

 

[Britannia89]

Buzzing to see more of him.

 

[DJ Blue]

Bassey and Patterson both have massive potential but barring injury to Borna / Tav they aint going to play.

 

[TimzRFudz]

If/when Borna leaves I think we already have his replacement and that is Bassey

Yes.... and we’d also be down to one left back...

 

[Neilstonger]

How long before some fucking idiot calls him Big Shirley? Oh wait, that was me.

 

[TheDavanator]

He’s looked good every time he’s been brought on. Another year or so under this coaching team and he’ll be a real talent

 

[R P McMurphy]

If he played for the mentally challengeds the papers would be touting him for 25m already.

 

[Corkinator]

He’s got it, it sounds crude but he will leave us for massive money IMO.

 

[Leif Erikson]

He looked incredibly raw in his first few appearances which is understandable given he'd never made a senior appearance before us.

The fact we're no longer shitting it when Barisic gets injured is a testament to the amazing progress he's made in a stupidly short amount of time. The boy is 20 and played brilliantly the other night, he really has some amount of potential.

 

[Jan Wyck]

He's our second best left back and he's twice as good as the three Celtc have.

 

[temperance]

We can afford to rest Borna on Sunday without fear.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

I sense him starting tomorrow vs Livingston .

done well for sure

 

[Sticky Fingers]

We are bringing in players that will fit our system/philosophy now. Every one of them knows their job when needed.
Such a breath of fresh air after the past few years without any coherent signing policy.

Exactly my point. Mind the time when we didn’t actually have a scouting department? I think it was a case of have boots, can play attitude. Now we have a refined system where we are scouting across the globe for talent that suits us, as well as looking at ways to make profit from these players at some stage, something which the mentally challengeds were very successful at.
We’ve got some proper football people at the club now, and it’s refreshing to see the changes that the club have made finally bear some fruit.

Totally mate. As a club, we were like a headless chicken. Changed days.

 

[Harbour Bear]

Excellent on Thursday.

Look forward to seeing him start at Ibrox tomorrow

 

[miraculous]

We have these young players being trained for our system so that stepping up is a smooth transition. Patterson on the right and Bassey on the left. Katic and big George too.

not just that, anyone who's anyone in fitba will know how these lads have been trained & improved under Stevie G, Gary Mac, Michael B, etc. It's money in the bank for Rangers

 

[Russell]

Big man is a beast of a player. As mentioned above I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger player in our famous jersey. He’s huge with massive potential.

All he needs is games to develop..if he got 15 games in all competitions it would a brilliant debut season. Our coaches seem to be improving each & every player which is great to see.

 

[roscof]

He looks good going forward and strong in the tackle. He gets caught under the ball a bit too much. He’s still young and learning tho v

I know that happened a couple of times on Thursday, but the most experienced player struggles, running towards his own goal, the ball coming over his head, in a monsoon.
He did great. Good luck son.

 

[Napsburybear]

I hope "the unit" gets a run out against Livingston giving Borna a rest.

 

[Muzza]

He is a big strong unit but also shows some composure for someone so inexperienced. Has lots to learn yet but has already shown he has the quality to succeed. More than able deputy for Borna.

 

[Captain_Buns]

You sense it eh?

Nothing to do with Borna going off injured on Thursday night & Stevie G saying he’s a doubt on Friday for the match today?

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Has done well filling in for Barisic it's all about gaining experience now and pushing on.
