He played for Rangers and Sunderland , scores goals to get us over the line to 3 in a row . Big Kyle is always gona be welcome
Nobody who's still there is going to speak up mate..get real
I am not sure anyone can say watching the last 2 years Gerrards man management is anything bar shambolic, it is a testament to certain players they have carried on and got better while being thrown under the bus at every opportunity.
As for Laff, Idiot who gave us some good times and who messed up not one but two opportunities to be a player for us.
I don't think he has the brains to realise how much he has messed up his career, it will hit him like a lightening bolt when he is skint and on his arse 18 months after retiring.
Trophies.You say Walter used Lafferty correctly but in the podcast he says he was told by Smith only way you are going to play is wide left, and he said he hated it. Not only did he hate it but he was shit at it.
Yet there are examples of players improving tenfold under him, Jack, Tav, Morelos, Barisic. Some players respond to tough love, some don’t.
The fact that Lafferty cites being nervous playing with Ferguson and then being managed by Gerrard because they were demanding says more about his attitude than it does anyone else.
Makes me laugh reading stuff like this after years of folk demanding higher standards, then when someone comes in with those they want the players mollycoddled.
Nail on the head. I'm not a fan of Lafferty, and won't watch the interview, but the comments are interesting nonetheless. Any player wanting succeed at Rangers will have to take the responsibility of being the best they can be, and blaming a manager for it not happening when others have played under the same manager and improved indicates the making of excuses.Yet there are examples of players improving tenfold under him, Jack, Tav, Morelos, Barisic.

Not in Kesh my friend.I am more interested in which band he was in.i know he’s from Fermanagh.a few staunch wee towns and villages but you would see far more gaa jerseys than Rangers ones
It's probably to discourage players from being happy seeing out their deal without playing.His comments about how Gerrard treated him. Obviously we know that he’ll hold a grudge. He said it’s the first time he’s never felt he could have banter with a manager. You have to wonder if Smith would have overlooked his idiocy and got the best out him.
I also wonder why he had Dorrans training with the under 21’s.
Halliday said on KBOTG open goal that lafferty turned up 2 hours late for 1st game of season at Motherwell then went in scored 2 goals, obviously Lafferty forgot to mention this when doing his open goal interview
True.drove through kesh a few years ago and let’s say I felt very comfortable with the colors on display as it was the summer.also went through a wee village called lack which was festooned in red white and blueNot in Kesh my friend.
