Shut up man hahahaTransfer window still open, can we get rid of him?
Sands ahead of him now for sure. Davies will be first pick. I expect we won’t see much of John Souttar and thank %^*&.

HahahaKeep a close eye on Hearts a mates son plays there. And I’m of the exact same opinion I’d have left him where he was
Halkett is miles ahead of him
If you hadn’t won yesterday there would be another thread with it’s fair share of moonhowlers saying Gio isn’t up to it domestically.Nope, they will continue with absolute shite if a new signing doesn’t hit the ground running.
Colak was written off by a couple of people 20 minutes into a pre season friendly against West Ham! That’s the level of mentalness we are dealing with here.
That said I do think Souttar will be a squad player rather than a first pick, Davies is a natural left sided centre half, I fully expect him and Goldson to be first choice with Souttar playing the Balogun role of filling in when required.
We will play loads of games though so I think he will get plenty of chances.
Thanks.
You obviously think Souttar has shown signs of being good… I disagree!
No he isn’t.
I backed Souttar to do well at Rangers and once he’s settled and in a better frame of mind I still do, whether that’s as a regular starter or a solid squad player able to slot in when required.
I find it mental that anyone can write off a player after 1 competitive game. And I don’t care how successful a club Rangers are, it’s moronic.
I didn’t even see any highlights from any of the games yesterday mate. I’m aware Soapy was culpable for the goal.Did you watch yesterday's game JR ?
I personally thought his performance was pretty much the same as anytime I've seen him at hertz or Scotland
It seems to me that he's prone to wandering out of position & often doesn't track opposing attackers or suffers from a lack of concentration
Like I said - I was aware of these flaws / errors before he came to us - & am not judging on '1 competitive game'
However I'll gladly listen to opinions from those who've watched him more regularly than I have
Incidentally - I have every sympathy for his family bereavement
I recognise that he's playing in a slightly different position than he was before
I also sincerely hope he settles into our style of play & becomes a mainstay with us for years to come
But Meantime - he needs to drastically & quickly improve IMO - if that's going to happen
His contract was expired and still hadn’t signed a new deal so yes awayThey signed him because they thought Goldson was away?
Even Goldson has came out and said he hadn't thought about it til the season was over.
Why?
Maybe so but certainly not good enough for us. Hearts standard at best.A squad filler who has started the first game of the season, played in all friendlies from the start?
Do you not think before posting?

Balogun has to be one of the most over rated players in years. There's a reason we never extended.Not as good as Balogun. Hope he improves though
I distinctly remember a goal scored by
He was nowhere to be seen for all three of Ukraine's goals
I know it was a breakaway- but the third goal he was nearer the halfway line than his own goal
He frequently drifts in & out of position most times I've seen him - & I'd argue he always has done
Don't forget we've been linked with him for years - so I've watched him albeit sporadically - probably more than I would choose to
& with all due respect - I've never thought he was more than average

Couldn’t trust balogun and helander to stay fit so sign souttar you realise how stupid that sounds so heed your own advice and have a few days off insteadEven Goldson never knew he was away! We signed him because we needed more centre halves. Couldnt trust Balogun & Helander to stay fit. Granted Souttar isn’t the most reliable for injuries either.
We never signed him as a replacement. Have a day off.
And the prize for completely missing the point goes to…He has played 90 competitive minutes. Get a fkn grip. Ludicrous indeed.
[QUOTE="prenzlauerbear,
Can you provide some examples of when he played like yesterday in a Scotland jersey?
I'll let him get properly fit before judging, he's clearly still way off it (,or way off level of fitness you need for rangers). This is a step up for the boy, but let him adjust.
Dare I say, it's almost a bit like Duffy, looks fine in a team where it's backs to the wall, defending on edge of your box most the game, but totally hopeless when players getting in behind with pace and having to play the ball out from the back.
Let's see though, he needs some time

Goldson, Souttar, Helander, King, Sands and Davies. We also still have Katic and Simpson on the books. You still want Balogun resigned? CB is one position that we don't need any more signings for.I don’t think Souttar is better than Balogun. We could still resign Balogun, it would be worthwhile doing.
If we can offload Katic and Simpson I'd resign Balogun in a heart beat. I can only think he never got an extension due to his age. He is certainly good enough for a back up and has invaluable experience especially in EuropeGoldson, Souttar, Helander, King, Sands and Davies. We also still have Katic and Simpson on the books.

Am I wrong or was there not a bereavement in his family recently?
Could be that his head just isn't in it at all - in which case Gio needs to pull him out.
