What kind of question is this?What happens when Patterson gets injured?
Why does it amaze you?This place just never ceases to amaze you does it.
A number 8, Christ.
Box to box midfielder.Someone want to explain to me what a number 8 is? Please call positions by their positions.

Behave yourself , do you actually watch football? Tav as a right mid ? Get a grip.Seen the point made on twitter so I thought I'd raise it here.
Tavernier has all the attributes of a very good number 8 at this level, he's athletic, has a good range of passing and is brilliant at carrying the ball forward in wide or central areas of the pitch. He'd arguably be an upgrade on anyone we have in that position and it allows us to play Patterson regularly.
People might think it's a ridiculous decision but I think it's worth the conversation at least.
Our own manager uses the language you're making fun of mate.Thanks.
for the record I’d play McGregor as a number 1.

My point exactly - you know hee haw about football , number 8 ha ha ha . Even Tav would piss his pants are your nonsense.Behave yourself , did you actually read the post? Tav as a rid mid ? Get a grip.
That isn't the position change I suggested.

He has literally played there for Rangers beforeMy point exactly - you know hee haw about football , number 8 ha ha ha . Even Tav would piss his pants are your nonsense.
Aww f*ck aye hahaha. That’s dragged on for so long you sometimes forget about itPatterson is likely to be suspended for both those games so Tav would be needed at RB
I think you mean actually ....literally ?He has literally played there for Rangers before
Very soon we will have to find a way to play them both or possibly lose Patterson. The boy has had a taste of first team football and wont want to go back to warming the bench. IMO he could be better than Tav.Why would we actively try to convert our best right back into a completely new position?
What’s the point?

No he wasn't, he was moved because he was shite. Ricksen was an appalling player for Rangers in his first couple of seasons.He was moved because of Allan Hutton
It was just a conversation. I Haddon to agree with you. Just don't want to see Paterson lose momentumMate in football this is what you want, you want atleast 2 brilliant players fighting it out for one position, that's healthy for the squad. Just cos you have 2 strong players doesnt mean you start messing around with their positions.
Sandy Jardine was an attacker/midfielder who was turned into one of the greatest full backs we have ever seen...then became POTY at Hearts as a sweeper.
Davie Smith was a midfielder who became a jewel of a sweeper.
John Greig was a midfielder who became a right back, then a left back, and lifted trebles. He was even tried (unsuccessfully) at centre forward after scoring something like 5 goals in 3 games.
Davie Cooper was tried at Centre Forward.
Derek Parlane scored against Bayern at right half.
Derek Johnstone...well, I need not go on.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.
How do you know if you don't try?
He still does, for Scotland youth.Thought I heard yesterday that young Patterson played further forward earlier in his career
But surely for him to really kick on, he needs to be playing regularly, especially in the bigger games.He does have the attributes to play where Arfield is playing but that doesn't mean that's where we should play him. If Patterson really kicks on it's a possibility but at the moment Tavernier is our number 1 right back.
Yeh, but Tavernier isn't just going to be dropped and playing him centre mid is just a theory. It will interesting to see how it plays out.But surely for him to really kick on, he needs to be playing regularly, especially in the bigger games.
Not necessarily, you can ease him by having him play 15 games a season - not everyone requires to play games.But surely for him to really kick on, he needs to be playing regularly, especially in the bigger games.
