Pedro is hopeful he can finally get Dorrans deal over the line at some point in the next 24 hours.
Norwich board meeting tomorrow to discuss £1.3m bid plus add ons.
Dorrans already agreed terms in principal with an agreed wage cut to make deal possible widely reported.

Hope it's enough to get the deal done. Dorrans would be a smashing player who'd improve us massively.

Let's just hope this 1 is for real this time, Dorrans would be massive for us. Like u say TheGlagowranger I seen the reports with basically what u said in your post.

I feel there's one or 2 people on here that don't know how good Dozza is! It's like they think he's average or something. Only one or 2 people.

I can't tell u why he's only got 19 caps for Scotland, I also can't tell you why Scott brown plays before him, when Dozza is twice the player. I think it might be ginger strachans wee frav and Levine before him.

Anyway as my new top comes tomorrow, it would be fitting that Dorrans signs . Really hope so and it's no more PR guess work lol 😂

agree fellow bears - to get dozzy over the line wld be a great signing for our club and a significant statement of intent

the lad's a crackin player and can sit in and keep the ball for us with his range of passing, but crucially he can go and make a real impact in the final third creating assists and goals.

I've watched him for years in EPL and always been impressed and it obv helps he's a huge bluenose!

fingers xd this happens - will be our best signing so far.

I think we're going a wee bit overboard over a player who is a good pro but not good enough to pick up more than 12 (NOT 19!) caps out of a possible 70 for a country that's struggling badly. Great, fantastic, massive, that's Ronaldo. Good, steady, reliable, that's Dorrans.

I think it's important to remember he is a rangers fan as well as a solid midfield player with exellant passing stats he will understand what it means to be a ranger. Along with Waldo miller and jack. We need these type of players to mix with the continental players

Wee-Ecky, Don't see your point about Dorrans and the amount of caps he has? being picked for the Scotland team has always been a case of pals act, few players over the years who have been overlooked due to managers simply not liking them

Wee Ecky you on the crack? Surely even you know that dorrans is a class above what we have and what play in the SPFL at the moment. There are players who the national manager doesn't like but that doesn't make them bad players. Jordan Rhodes? Ross McCormack? Lee Wallace? to name a few. all good players and would improve the national team but don't get picked. Dorrans is and would ba great signing for us. but hey ho what would it be without some negativity some people are never happy.

Weee Ekky, before you start banging on about how little his Scotland caps are. Might be worth remembering why- Dorrans suffered a ongoing personal tragedy that I would not wish on anyone.
Dorrans was unavailable for many ties.

So before correcting me on a couple of caps get your facts straight.
Think before u talk man!
Or risk sounding like wee -fool, not wee - Ekky

can i ask how many caps did davy cooper get wee ecky?

that if anything should tell you it's not necessarily a true barometer of success

the lego muncher is every managers fave hence the no of caps he has but to my mind he's bang average

wee chesney wldnt dare incur the wrath of the unwashed hordes of fans and media apologists by not picking him

so whilst i agree int caps is a measure of success it's not always accurate

just a thought. i maintain if we get dorrans he'll be a crackin player for us

"before you start banging on about how little his Scotland caps are"

Maybe he has a small head.

To all of you who read what you wanted to be in my post and not what was actually in it.
1. I said Dorrans was a good pro. Of course he's better than the dross we're in the process of getting rid of. I never said he wasn't.
2. While I fully understand the lad's tragic problems, the number of caps is a legitimate measure. Davie Cooper was capped just 22 times because for almost 4 years Jock Stein preferred John Robertson, if he used a winger, so Onlyshowaround you are partially correct when you say caps are sometimes down to managers liking you or otherwise.
3. I said he was a good player, a reliable player and he is. I just pointed out that he is not 'massive' 'cracking' or 'smashing'.
4 I'm not on crack, what a repulsive comment, but I do believe a byproduct of being addicted to that drug is euphoria coupled with paranoia, both evident in your mad post, Kri 55.
5 Unlike most of you I have seen Dorrans in action for both club and country and I would certainly like to see him sign for Rangers, nowhere have I said any different. He'd be a decent addition to our team. Also, unlike most of you, I won't crucify him after he has a poor game.

Ecky might be wrong but I can remember emmon bannon of Dundee Utd getting picked to play for Scotland on the left wing ahead of super coop for years and not John Robertson ( nott forest ) not (hearts ) bannon was no bad but not in the same league as super bannon not great at crossing ether as he couldn't see who was in the middle way all that hair
