Rangers squad
#1
With a host of expired-contract departures the squad is looking pretty thin at the moment in some areas.

On the plus side, because it's a lot less bloated so we can see exactly where we stand with all our positions and a new manager can target players without having to worry too much about moving out what's already there.

Current squad:

Gk: Bell, Kelly

Df: Wallace, Zaliukas, McGregor, Gasparotto, Sinnamon

Mf: Law, Murdoch, Aird, McKay, Templeton, Shiels, Crawford, Walsh

Fw: Miller, Clark, Gallagher, Hardie


Funny thing is, I would say on paper that should just about be a good enough squad to win the Championship, but a number of those players have not played to the level they should in the past which is why we're still where we are. Still, most of the players who left arguably weakened the team when they were in it. If we can bring in better rather than just more expensive players we might have a decent core to at least start from. Definitely not enough depth in it at the moment though, and too many of the midfielders are very inconsistent so won't cut it as permanent fixtures. We might yet sell 1 or 2 of the squad as well, but apart from that the priorities as I see it at the moment are a goalkeeper, a right back, a centre half, a midfield playmaker, a quality forward and some backup at left back. I'm pretty sure that was the same wishlist I had 2 years ago actually.

No Fred. I look to my own team first. The fact remains though that the Hibs squad is full of players who couldn't get a top flight club, while we still have several who only dropped out of the top flight for the money we could offer.

I saw that but I think it's fair to include those 5 at the moment as they've all had first team experience of some sort apart from Kelly who is our only viable backup keeper at the moment. It's a bit weird that McKay is listed among the youth players considering his age and the number of times he's played at first team level for us and his loan teams.

There is only a few players there that played in the team last season. For such a great Hibs side they couldn't beat us when it counted, and if we strengthen we should have a side capable of winning the league. Hibs are losing players too fred, they will be far from the same side either.

Pretty sure I mentioned they didn't play as well as they should have this season. Bell, Shiels, Templeton, Law, Miller and Zaliukas have all played well within themselves most of the time they've been with us. They definitely have the ability to do better (though I don't dispute there's no guarantee they will).

And our keeper doesn't deserve much credit for anything since he returned from injury - he's been crap. It was a team effort against Hibs in the playoff and ours did better than theirs where it mattered.
