Robby McCrorie signs for Kilmarnock

[ThreestripeS]

I’d imagine he will back himself to be a success and get a move down south at the end of that deal with a big signing on fee on a Bosman.

He’s a good keeper.

Not seeing any benefit to Rangers for this one given the fee and length of deal.

Kilmarnock have ripped the piss out of us again like they did with Mayo.

Think we can bin the Watson and rmstrong noise ecause if it was true they'd be part of the deal.

Another captain hindsight who in 2024 suddenly believes the club should have been asking big money for Lewis Mayo.

 

[Copland85]

Hopefully the lad can move to Killie and take the opportunity to kick on to bigger and better.

 

[Trafalgar]

Our transfer dealings are horrendous.
I hope that this is part of some other deal for Mayo.

Did I say that?

A buy back would have been nice though smart arse.

 

[Big D]

Given Killie's finances, I doubt we will have got anywhere near the 500k fee that we were thinking a few weeks ago we could bring in.
Good move for the player, who can use first team football to get a decent next move. But I can't help feeling we have sold a player for much less than we could have got. (Which I can't actually prove due to the fee being undisclosed).

Hopefully a substantial sell on clause.

 

[JMCK]

Good move for him. Hopefully he does well.

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

Good luck to him
If its a 2 year deal it's unlikely he'll go for much of a fee which will put paid to much of a sell on.
Possibly a first refusal buy back?

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Always wondered why he stunted his career when there was zero prospect of regular games.

I guess being a Rangers fan and getting paid to be part of a Rangers squad was a strong pull.

Good luck to him anyway apart from against us.

 

[muttley]

I liked Robby as a keeper.

But like most players, he wants regular games, so good luck yo him.

 

[Fermanagh_RFC]

Good luck to him I always thought he would be the McGregor replacement however SJB seems to have taken that away from him. Should have left a few years ago in all honesty to play some first team games.

 

[dh1963]

Was there anyone offering more than Kilmarnock?

No idea, but it's only the start of July. We don't need to sell as soon as a first offer is made.

Am sure that's a big part of why he stayed...as others have said he never let the team down when the few first team chances of starting came his way.

 

[Dado_Prso_9]

Would imagine this puts any Armstrong talk to bed.

If we were interested in Armstrong, surely we’d have used McCrorie as part of the deal.

 

[Hallers]

All the best Robby. Hopefully he can get regular 1st team football

Could help his Scotland career

 

[Clicker]

Best of luck to him.

 

[van Rottenbottom]

I maintain that he should've got a run in the team when the McLaughlin experiment failed, instead of bringing back a 40 year old.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him back here one day.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Unsure about this, if Butland were to move on I’d have been far more comfortable with McCrorie taking the reins than Kelly.

We would sign another no1 in that case

 

[Chimo]

Would imagine this puts any Armstrong talk to bed.

If we were interested in Armstrong, surely we’d have used McCrorie as part of the deal.

With our transfer strategy I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we essentially have given McCrorie away then decide we want Armstrong at the end of the window and Killie play hard ball.

 

[Sticky]

Regarding the undisclosed.

Check the pies in the outlets when Ibrox reopens.

 

[Andy platt]

Best of luck to Robbie he was never going to make it with us

 

[prsoandnovo222]

I predict he will do very well.Just wait and see.

 

[thevietnambear]

All the best, good luck with your new club.

 

[prsoandnovo222]

Kilmarnock did not pay 500k for him. Absolutely nowhere near it.

this.Sick of us selling of players on the cheap to scottish teams.Would they do the same for us ? no chance

 

[RWB-Since1963]

Good luck Robbie.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

After his first MOTM performance for Killie the mentalists of FF will have him ranked as the greatest since Lev Yashin.

Then it will be followed by the subsequent pile on from the usual suspects, aided by Timposters to guide them along the way.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Sold for peanuts no doubt.

 

[Andrew webb]

All the best to Robby - except when he's playing against us.

I second that
Good luck Robby

 

[No Pyro No Party]

The last goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet for us against that lot.

Had to look up Lev Yaskin as will 95% of anyone else reading that

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Had to look up Lev Yaskin as will 95% of anyone else reading that

Jesus Christ, no they won’t.

He’s widely recognised as one of the best goalies ever, the black spider.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Had to look up Lev Yaskin as will 95% of anyone else reading that

Remember school resumes in 5 weeks time

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Had to look up Lev Yaskin as will 95% of anyone else reading that

More like 5% will have to google Yashin. One of the greatest keepers of all time.

 

[GeeSpot]

He'll be Scotland's no1 by the end of the season.

 

[Kirkhillbear]

Good luck to the lad, I like him as a goalkeeper but he's unfortunate to have Butland I'm front of him.
He's too good to be a number 2 forever

 

[the ginslinger]

He will be scotland number 1 pretty soon. I hope we have a buy back option

 

[van Rottenbottom]

I'd imagine this deal contains a massive sell on % for us and probably a % for McCrorie himself

 

[Rangerscoverboy]

Undisclosed fee ? I bet they got him for buttons , it better have been at least £500k , if rangers went in for any killie player you can guarantee they inflate the price

Lol. Kilmarnock aren't paying anywhere near that.

 

[govanfront85]

A serious downgrade to our second string
goalkeeper now but understandable as the boy needs to get his career going

Who know what Robby will be like when he's number one. We'll only know how good he really is when he plays every week.

 

[stein and johnston]

A great move for the lad and hopefully he kicks on from there.
Who knows he may come back a much improved keeper to us in the future.

 

[Scojorfc]

Hopefully we have a decent sell on & a low buy back option included should he really kick on

 

[sheddensbear]

He will be scotland number 1 pretty soon. I hope we have a buy back option

He'll have to significantly improve since I last saw him. Hope he turns out to be excellent to come back in a couple of years.

 

[Texas ranger]

Our only keeper to keep a clean sheet in an old firm since April 2021

All the best to Robby. Hope he kicks on.

Let’s hope he keeps that going next season.

 

[Diego Maradona]

How the %^*& can killie afford him?

 

[Smkz23]

How the %^*& can killie afford him?

Low up front fee in exchange for a large sell on %

 

[Crouchy]

Kilmarnock did not pay 500k for him. Absolutely nowhere near it.

Suspect £50k is probably closer to the mark!

Good move for him.

 

[CrocodileDundee]

Good luck to Robbie. Really should have left last season when Butland came in. Never let us down in the games he played but I think if we’re all being absolutely honest we know he isn’t the quality required for us to winning leagues on a regular basis.

 

[Greggy83]

Undisclosed fee ? I bet they got him for buttons , it better have been at least £500k , if rangers went in for any killie player you can guarantee they inflate the price

Would imagine they wouldn't have the budget to spend anything more than £200k

 

[ClassicCaldow]

Good luck son,
Hope we have option to buy at end of contract. But with our negotiating skills that will be unlikely

 

[DeepHeat]

His career will be what it is etc

But when he came in against Celtic in 21/22 he was good, smart, bright keeping, out at Kyogo for an effort McGregor by then wouldn’t have got to, he couldn’t have done anymore and was out

McGregor went on to have a terrible season and McCrorie was never given a chance again, while the manager was changed he simply still never appeared despite that performance

One game doesn’t make a players career but such things do show how much more of a challenge it is for a young player to break perception of players older than them
