Can big crooks play right back? i'm concerned that hearts will lump high balls into box, back post and after watching tavs pathetic effort last week with high ball I'm concerned. Especially as our 2 most dominant players aerially senderos and hill probably won't play, think we could struggle to deal with the high punts!

Bgate, my worry is will big crooks ever play for us at all? Between him windass and rossiter it won't be long before we as gers fans, don't even recognise these players if they were sitting beside us! Honestly what are these guys made of?
Our greatest ever ranger ever big john greig must be wondering what type of players we've signed here! I don't which one i'd give the title of hide and seek champ to!

Crooks has been injured since last March Coops. He only started full training a few weeks ago, I'm eager to see him play as well but no miracle is suddenly going to make him match fit. He has played the last few U20's game and he will need eased back into it, you can't just throw him in to crucial game like Aberdeen or Hearts and except him to perform.
As for Windass he has been playing when available and on the most part has looked good. He might not be used to the more intense way Rangers train.
Rossiter had a calf strain and then suffered a set back and I'm sure he will come back stronger than ever! These guys will have a lot to give in the 2nd part of the season.

The U20's played yesterday and I don't think Crooks or Rossiter were involved so God knows how far they are away from playing. Really frustrating because there is a lot of hype especially over Rossiter who definitely looks like he can play.

No neither of them played yesterday the team was made up of young players.

wish warbs would come out and tell us when these players are dues back to full fitness as rossiter looks a great wee player and so does windass, very direct and good feet.
crookshas a lot to prove but he was considered a better players than windass so that looks good for us.

I wouldn't imagine Crooks being involved as he will be on the bench tomorrow at Tynecastle.
As for Rossiter he is and his been injured and has not been in the youth squad, nor has he been training with any squad. He is in rehab after his setback.

Really hope so, was not on bench at Firhill.

If they don't or can't play for us - we have to move on without them.
We can't stand still!

Everyone's excited about Rossiter's potential but it's baffling how long he's been out for. Warbs said quite petulantly in a recent interview "it's a grade one calf strain" which to me means a recovery time of a week, two weeks max. The boy's been out for months on end with no signs of returning to action even in the youth or reserve teams. Why?
