I see gerrard prepared to give rangers winger brandon barker a last chance to prove he's good enough 2 stay with rangers.
Gerrard stated that on his game barker can be unplayable. He just has tobe more consistent. I had heard months ago now that in training barker is unstoppable but for some reason up until now, he hasn't carried that onto match day games.

That's happened to many a talented player! What do other fellow bears think. IF barker starts to produce for us regularly, what he played like in the lyon tournament, should we keep him?

He is worth another chance but suspect he does not have the physical strength or mentality to deliver what Rangers need. He showed when he played for Hibs he has something but producing it 5 games a year is not good enough at Rangers. There is a good reason why he never made it at Man City.

Of course we should keep him IF he starts to produce in matches.

The alternative would be to say “I know he’s playing fantastic but my mind was made up last season, he isn’t good enough” 👍.

They all look good when teams believe they are better than us, we have great players for counter attacking football, however when faced with 2 banks of 5 in front of them players like barker don’t have the ability to break them down or use pace and with very little long range shooting ability in our side we struggle against defensive sides in Scotland.

My concern with Barker is he couldn’t force his way into our squad after the team had a major form slump after new year. He looks like a guy who doesn’t believe he should be here.

Barker has what it takes to be a top player IF he could sort his head out and believe in himself.

Maybe if the manager played a system that got the best out of his players, we would see a difference. Tactics last season were garbage for domestic fixtures, hence why we played better in Europe. Thatvstyle is not suited to Scottish football.

I agree with you Mols. 1 last chance. There is a player there but he seems to lack confidence/ bottle.

Spot on Coully. We always play well on the counter attack especially against European teams who open up. Our problem is opening up defensive teams in Scotland who sit with two banks of 5 and counter us. This was part of the problem after the last winter break. We need to play at a higher tempo, be more clinical and show more aggression. This was lacking in almost all of our post winter break performances which were abysmal and painful to watch to say the least.

Totally agree could. Well summarised.

If he can produce regular then aye of course.

then maybe players like Barker should be played in the 'open' games and have a different type of player for the 'park the bus' teams.

Bizzy that’s what we require. Horses for courses.

SGL that really is a stupid question if he starts to perform then why would we get rid

The reasons barker didn't make the grade with Man City 1. They are in a league that get rewarded a gazillion more in prize money 2.can spend 50 million on a winger at the drop of a hat-How's that for a summary.

Thing about Barker is he's apparently frighteningly good in training but struggles to turn it on on matchday! there's a worry that we might lose something that we know deep down could be useful if it comes good!

Every player deserves a chance what some do in training that impresses the management they can't do in a game you can be the greatest at training but not in a game

For example we watch doherty doing well at hibs on loan etc but when he at rangers traning is he showing the same or enough for stevie g to say you ain't gping on loan that's what i need here?

Not just greg i'm talking about the full squad.

Frightening pace, should be used more.

Reason why Barker never made the grade at man City is he's not good enough to play at that level.

Unlike some others like the boy is responding positively to the direction receiving from SG and coaching staff.
