Right guys, before I say what I'm going to say I know we were only playing east stirling tonight, but imo I don't care who we sign for the same position as barrie mckay there's nobody better than him in the wide berth of our team, baz is better than josh windass, harry forrester, moh, etc, his exquisite passing range and control of a football is imo superior to any of these players that play in the same position as mckay, thoughts on this please, wee baz unfortunately for us will play in the english premiership within the next 3 years, that's how highly I rate him and the talent this wee guy has!

Agree W15, he is a special player. Even when he broke thru 3 or 4 years ago I thought he was special and the best of that McLeod/ Crawford/ Aird batch and never understood why he was always put out on loan. Think we need to give great credit to MW and DW for helping him develop confidence and providing platform to shine. Can't help thinking about SC goal against Celtic when he sidestepped Broon before unleashing shot into roof of net. Actually some of his goals last season were as good as those scored by Gazza and Laudy. Looking forward to see him consistently perform at a high level and establish himself as a senior member of the team this season.

Completely agree and it is not about tonight it is about 2/ 3 of games last year - I think BM is MWs pet project - give him a season working (on and off field) with Nico and by this time we will have a international class 10 - yeah he could go and at decent money I would wish him well - this is where we are today - same to come from Thomson, Burt, Hardie, etc.
Some amy say this is not where Rangers should be but this is where we are and BTW what is not to like - OK MAnchester. Uefa was something else but this is the best Rangers have been to watch in 15 years.

Spot on W15.

Barry is the best passer of the ball in Scottish football. His energy levels are terrific and he could easily develop into a true star on the European stage. We should enjoy him whilst we can.

Totally agree W15, even in the 3rd division when we were in it you could tell he had a good touch and that to me was what stood out the most, but recently you can see he has the lot. His crossing, trickery, striking and even defending when wallace overlaps is second to none.
You just have to look at tonite. Brought down for the pen, his cross for Windass and his pass for wallace to get in behind for Dodoo for the 3rd. Involved in all 3 and it was less than 2 weeks ago when people we're commenting on here how incomplete he is.

I really like the boy seems to have it all, pace, passing, through balls and his long passing is brilliant can beat a man and has a great shot on him. the only thing I'd say is when he goes past a man he tends to slow down after which let's the player get back or he passes it back I'd like him to go past his man and drive into the box a wee bit more but I suppose i'm being greedy.

To me, Macloed was head and shoulders above all the youngsters, was gutted when we lost him. Really hope he gets past his injuries and proves how good he is! How many 19/ 20 year olds do you see score overhead kicks like they two macloed scored?! He was out best player and could have became a legend if he wasnt forced out.

I remember reading that Warbs isn't a fan of having players on long contracts (4-5yrs) although regarding Rossiter and Dodoo you can understand why due to age and his confidence in their ability and talent. Think Warbs said something along the lines of keeping players on their toes when it comes to contracts but regarding McKay imo I think we should sign him up long term, in saying that does anyone know McKays contract situation?

There's no doubt Mckay is talented and 1 for the future without a doubt, but let's be honest and realistic. He has a long way to go. At the moment he is performing At a consistent level. If he keeps that up another season in the premier against better sides and plays for his country then I will then agree with above comments. He is a talent for sure but to even mention greats that played in bigger games and bigger stages before and after gers makes comments bout a young Scottish talent premature to say the least. Consistently being good is the key ðŸ‘.

I would say he's 1 of the most promising young players in british football never mind scotland, his control of a ball and touch is 1st class, 2 footed i think we will be lucky to keep hold of him next season as he is destined for EPL.

Strachan will still give him no game time.

Swamy is the voice of reason here. Barry is doing very well but to start comparing him to Gers greats and say he will be a force in European football is ridiculous.
He needs to keep working on his game because he doesn't beat the full back on the outside enough and his crossing is poor.
Let's calm down and see how he performs this season.
