Couldnt MW move it about and bring Crooks into CD next to wilson or Hodson into that position both versatile players and could adapt. They couldn't be any worse than what we have and they aren't getting used (maybe injured though not sure) .
Look how good papac got he was a CD then turned into a very impressive LB.

2 consecutive clean sheets. Not too shabby. How do you know Crooks is versatile? He's only played 20 mins. Couldn't see anything in him in that period of time. We're stuck with our CBs until January at least, let's get behind them.

Monty, some people watch more than just Rangers games mate. Crooks is versatile, that doesn't mean he is good in CB, more capable than good.

crooks played more games at centreback and as a striker last year than he did as a midfielder.

OSA I watch plenty of football pal. I don't watch English football below championship level because the standard is poor. Being versatile in these leagues means nothing to me. I think you need to rethink your definition of versatility. You say he's versatile but might not be good in CB. So where else can Crooks the CDM play? Goalie? Or is it he can just play MC too like every other CDM in history.

well Monty pal, he played as a striker (mainly due to his height) and done well I believe, he also played as an attacking mid for a few games done well, played at centre back too, done well, however he played his best as a CDM.

Also monty your comment about below championship being poor standard, yet you watch Scottish football? I'll happily say league 1 and 2 is of the same standard as the spfl.

I'm sure Windass and Crooks were in the Lge 2 team of the season could be wrong but the guy must have been doing something right eh? Like I said in my last post longer pre-season and re-introduction of the Ibrox Cup either before season or during winter break at least arrange a friendly. Let me know if my info on Crooks Windass is correct.

18 Oct 2016 16:44:20
it's obvious from the little we have seen of windass he is a special player, crooks has his work cut out with halliday and rossiter ahead of him.

In case you're still interested Crooks was in the League 2 team of the year but surprisingly Windass wasn't.

18 Oct 2016 21:24:16
I said at the start of the year that we had signed two quality players in Big Garth and Windass and both would relish the challenge and experience that being with Rangers will bring - Garth has loads of versatility by the way - absolutely loads -.

18 Oct 2016 22:49:11
OSA fair enough, he's been proven versatile at league 2 level. Saying SPFL is an equivalent level is nonsense. Top 4 SPFL teams would run riot against a league 2 side and the rest would win comfortably unless they were having an off day. Each of the positions that Crooks has played bar CB, we have lads queuing out the door to get a game in those positions. You asked why I watch SPFL? Because my beloved Rangers play in that league. Don't think I would watch it otherwise. Needs fixing. I'm going to wait until I see this lad have a run of games in our league and see how he turns out before I start asking for him to replace our natural CBs.

Let's see what Warburton's central defensive pairing is on Sunday and how they perform. A clean sheet against Celtic and I will give them respect but for me it is no big deal to get a 1 - 0 win against Inverness.

There is little doubt that we have improved and we have players like Forrester that isn't in the Starting eleven and guys such as Rossiter, Crooks, Windass and MOH that are all capable of playing some should expect to see 100% for 90 minutes from those that do start!

We still need a quality centre back though, to partner Wilson!

19 Oct 2016 15:47:40
imo changing the defence last week didn't make any sense. in training u see who is the better pairing as a manager sor why not get a back 4 stick with thm and let the gel the way two cb's should instaed of this changing the defence about carry on.
everyone know you should build from the back and we are now paying for that mistake our management made .
don't want warbs to go as he is good managers but he needs to stop being stubborn and realise he is at rangers and second isn't good enough. and playing the formation he does is naive.
