Possibly but it’s far too soon to be writing Soutar off after one game
He dominated their centre forward who was bullying our backline before thatHe won every header aswell which I was shocked by.
Not sure tbh I think Sands has a lot of potential
Think that’s a fair assessment with the money we’ve spend on Davies but it’s up to Sands to make sure he gets consistent games. Hopefully he starts Tuesday and can make that position his own.I agree mate. Don’t think the consistent opportunity will come for sands (unless something happens to Davies)
I know we have the option to buy at the end of his loan, Much will he cost?
He's very good in the air, always has been, but somehow that's gone under the radar. Think it's more obvious now as he's at CH.He won every header aswell which I was shocked by.
And even then Davies will have to work hard for it if Sands form continuesSands jersey until Davies is ready.
You would think so, but the fee we paid for Davies, I think he will start when ready. Same with Yilmaz.And even then Davies will have to work hard for it if Sands form continues

I've liked him from day one. Good on the ball, great passer, good in the air, intelligent and a great attitude. Has added physicality.
He's going to have an excellent season.
Passing range and quality is top notch. Very composed player. I fear he may be 3rd choice at the back left CB.
Absolutely loved this pass. Proper ping, technique is sublime and it lands on sixpence.
Cheers, Mate. Possibly a wee bit high but he has the potential to be a cracking player for us.Think it’s around £5m

Unfortunately I think the days of Helander being considered a serious option are over. A shame.If he goes with Sands on Tuesday (I would) it could be a long way back for Soutter already. Can't write anyone off after one game, but with Sands looking more than capable there, Helander and Davies fighting for the slot its going to be very hard for him
The thing i really like bout sands is his calmness. Plus he can play a pass which he showed with a great diagonal the end of second half. I still think though it’s still too early to write souttar off just yet mateFar far superior in every department from souttar
He needs to start until Davies is up to speed
He had better go with Sands on Tuesday.If he goes with Sands on Tuesday (I would) it could be a long way back for Soutter already. Can't write anyone off after one game, but with Sands looking more than capable there, Helander and Davies fighting for the slot its going to be very hard for him
The boy can play.Not a negative thread against Souttar but one of praise for James Sands. I think his recent performances (Europa League final, 3 pre season friendlies and when he came on today) have shown he deserves to start at left center back for us until someone proves they can be better. That may well be a fit Davies when he’s back but for now I think Sands should be playing. His distribution and range of passing are really good and he looks comfortable playing with his left or right foot. His ability in the air is something that surprised me too and he doesn’t get beaten many times.

Surely Souttar was really only intended as a backup for Goldson anyway? Davies and Helander will vie for the left sided centre back berth and Sands is the utility option.If he goes with Sands on Tuesday (I would) it could be a long way back for Soutter already.

Yeah, happened with Bassey in the League Cup fixture against St Mirren where we lost in the last minute. Bassey was woeful. But fast forward 12 months and he was our best player helping us get to the europa final and getting us a club record sale ££££.If he goes with Sands on Tuesday (I would) it could be a long way back for Soutter already.

Just looked at the current exchange rate and that is 4.1 million sterling, Used to be a good bit lower than that I’m sure. I think he’ll be a really solid player for us.Might be dollars but I remember being surprised it was that high.
He’s just turned 22 so may be worth the investment.

Rangers will have to fork out £4.5 million for James Sands if they want to trigger their option to buy the American.
That's according to MLS insider Tom Bogert - who reckons it's a stick-on that Rangers will keep him.
