Morning Bears,
Just been pondering about Andy Haliday and was wondering about the term, "Rangers Quality". I think some would immediately jump in and say a thorough bred pro with international pedigree proved at the top level is Rangers Quality.
I would however offer an alternative view on Rangers Quality in terms of AH.
Played out of position but never complains. Works very hard. Model pro on and off the pitch. Humiliated by Celtic fans and his own at times took it on the chin. Disrespected by previous manager and gets loaned out to the back of beyond, still no complaint.
Comes back works his arse off and waits for his chance, gets it and proves he can be useful player for Rangers. That is Rangers Quality and the manager can see it. Andy must have Sir Struths famous lines tattooed on the back of his hand.
Opinions welcome. ATB.

Very good post. I will admit that I wasn't a fan of AH but he is a grafter and has improved tremendously under SG.

Great to have about the place, terrific attitude can do a decent enough job in a few positions but for me when we get everyone fit he would be lucky to be on bench.

Halliday looked a player in the early days (championship) when Warburton was in charge, he lost his way under Pedro and Murty
Good to see his passion get rewarded.

Not a fan, would have preferred holt to stay. Got abit hung out to dry though so willing to see how he goes with better players in the team and some organisation. Done what has been asked so far.

I love andy halliday and with his contract up at end of season I would look to offer him a new deal. (short term i. e 1 or 2 years) . Yes he may not be our best player but he is great to have at the club and has proven to be a useful squad player this year.
