I thought it was Davison 18 month and Defoe just for the season. I’d be pulling out all the stops to bring him back, though I wouldn’t blame him if he’s upset at the lack of starts the gaffer has given him. Especially given how we’ve struggled to put away teams this year, his clinical finishing could be worth his weight in gold. That’s one of Gerard’s mistakes this season imo, he should have gotten Defoe matchfit, and more involved a lot sooner. That and Worrall over Katic (especially after his “I’m here to make mistakes comment) are my two main gripes against Gerrard in his debut season (as well as his in game management of subs at times) Hopefullythough he’s learned and we’ll go one to take the title on his second try. Despite the mentally challengeds ability to pull out wins late in games and when their not playing well (which is admirable don’t get me wrong) we’ve played better football at times than any other side in Scotland, if only we’d had the consistency and killer touch when needed we’d be up there.
A disappointing season whatever way you look at it (Rangers need to be winning trophies) but lots to be optimistic about. If we can bring in two or three real quality signings in the offseason, and the Tim’s stand pat,lots to look forward to next year. My only fear is losing Morelos and Kent who were key performers for us. Hopefully we can keep both one more season at least,then we can avoid another major rebuilding job.
Grezda, and Lafferty can leave whenever the can find a new club. Worrall can go back to his beloved Southampton, but we need to find a back up centre half to replace him. Despite the sponsors, commentators, and many on here thinking the opposite, I didn’t see much from Davis tonight tobe that excited about, and deep down I fear his legs have gone. However Rudden, Middleton and the success of the U-17 squad gives hope we have some players who can be promote do from within
