Being told hearts have made enquiry for mcann. One year deal, rangers can recall in January window.

He needs to be playing, he’s one I can see making it with the club so a loan move to a decent hearts side makes sense.

John would Rangers give him a new contract?

I think this would be a good move for the boy as long as he's going to play.


4.) 31 Aug 2022

Good move for the lad, should do well at Hearts, needs regular game time, which you would imagine he won't get with us at the moment.

I also think charlie mccann going to hearts on a season long loan deal would be a cracking move for the boy ?.


6.) 31 Aug 2022

Having seen McCann a couple of times, I would like to see him play, on loan if not going to get many opportunities at the moment for us… definitely one for the future… great composure for young man.

Hope he takes it unlike Kelly who refused a loan there a few year ago.


8.) 31 Aug 2022

Mccann can replace Davis he has what it takes. Should be given more first team time so he can develop. Age is immaterial if your good enough! PS what was Gio thinking giving a jersey to Sakala he is no where near enough.

Good move if he plays, as Down says.
I actually think he is too good for the B team now.

Bassey Kelly refused a loan last January.

Gvb no hurry, has deal till 2024.

I was actually expecting him to play regular during the second half of the season, I guess he could if we have a recall option. I know he didn’t play for long last night but he was the best of the kids when he was on the park. He’s going to be a very good player.


13.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 12:27:11
That’s a great move for us and mccann if it happens.


14.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 12:27:15
Cool John i thought it was 2023,that would be great for him getting football every week, I still see a very good player in Kelly hopefully he kicks on.


15.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 12:28:46
Dado totally agree. I’d keep him and play him before and after Europe ties given he is not eligible as a youth player for us.

However Europe experience with hearts could be big part of his development.


16.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 12:31:53
John a just said he refused a loan mate. No way Mcan will get many starts so get him on loan for a season to show his stuff then get him playing regularly.


17.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 12:38:34
To be honest I’m disappointed in this as I think he really is ready for first team action with us very calm on the ball and very lively
Hmm I’d prefer he stay as long as he could get minutes in first team if not then yes a loan move to watch him play week in week out

Either way I hope what ever decision he makes is the right one for him and it works out ?.


18.) 31 Aug 2022

Better to integrate McCann into the first team squad as we are currently doing with King.


19.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 12:56:58
There’s far too many midfielders at Rangers. We shouldn’t have kept Steven Davis on. If we didn’t, maybe McCann could’ve had his spot in the first-team squad this season. Not sure why McGregor is still here when McRorie is a more than capable backup either.


20.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 13:40:05
He's far to good for B team football; hopefully Lowey never plays down in that level again either.


21.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 13:42:24
McCann should be kept and get integrated into the first team, he didn`t come up here from Man Utd to play two seasons of B team football and then be loaned out to a wee diddy team in Scotland. We have ruined too many youngsters by doing this and McCann like Lowry and King shouldn`t have to drop to this level. Besides weren`t Hearts and Neilson really awkward when we tried to sign Souttar in January, so give them nothing.


22.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 13:43:07
Loan move with recall in January if we wanted would be class for us.


23.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 13:49:28
I think McGregor and Davis are there because Gio wanted them there? I tend to trust his judgement.


24.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 14:41:30
John you said rangers would sign 3 players before Thursday. You think this is still the case?


25.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 14:57:25
Thats a move that makes sense for all parties john. And how's it going lads hope everyone is well.


26.) 31 Aug 2022

Watching Davis just a couple of times this season confirms to me just why he was kept on at Rangers, he is still a class act with bundles of energy, guile, awareness, leadership and skill. Imagine anyone suggesting that such a player should have been released!
McCann is now ready to be integrated into the first team squad. We need to offload about six players (Helander, Roofe, Sakala, Katic, etc) to free up room for real talent like King, Lowry, McCann etc. We've invested well in our youth, time to fully realise their potential. And having the likes of Steve Davis around can only help the transition.


27.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 15:30:44
Tavsonloyal,

Helander, Roofe, Sakala, nor Katic occupy the same positions as that of McCann and Lowry. Davis occupies, and is currently blocking the route to the first-team, for McCann. It seems we can’t have both at the club at the same time because McCann is being loaned out again, while Davis remains for regular game time.

Keeping McGregor for an additional season might have cost us McCrorie who may not sign a new contract because of it. McCrorie is already getting on the bench for the Scotland international team and would’ve done a job as backup to McLaughlin. We’l just need to trust the management.


28.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 15:32:53
Davis has been brilliant so far this season how anyone can say we shouldn’t of gave him or arfield new deals after how they have started the Season is crazy.


29.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 15:34:36
Hearts are by far the third best team in Scotland to call them a diddy team is a bit far it be a great move on loan for him.


30.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 15:48:35
I think McCann will leave if he has any sense and hopefully come back in the future. Ranger are horrendous at developing our own players they never get a chance Lowry more than deserved a shot last year or start of this season. McCann has been consistent and not looked outta place when playing with first team.


31.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 15:54:03
Mcrorie can go he’s nothing special and would never be rangers number one.


32.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 15:54:55
So you plying lowery over tilleman and Lawrence? Oh and arfield who’s been great?


33.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 16:12:04
The young players are being giving a chance, if King, McCann and Lowry stay I think all 3 of them will be involved in 15/ 20 games this season. Patterson and Bassey both got game time and I know Bassey wasn’t a youth player but we signed him when he was young and he got a chance.


34.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 17:04:24
McCann is a quality young player and I would certainly prefer him to be ahead of Jack who is seriously injury prone and doesn't look fit for a place in the Squad. Davis only has a season to go and surely it would be better using that time for him to help develop McCann rather than sending McCann out on loan to one of our main competitors. We are not exactly over endowed with a quality squad. Yes it is a big squad but there is still a lack of quality if we are not planning to bring players in. McCann is someone that we should have in the squad, ready to step in if Davis or Kamara are injured.


35.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 18:12:54
Bluemark no as inf Alf glen Ryan staying. Probably roofe. We can only name 17 not rangers Scottish trained.


36.) 31 Aug 2022
31 aug 2022 18:20:02
to be fair to hearts and neilson, he isn’t employed to assist rangers, his job is to ensure hearts finish in as high a position as possible, we certainly can’t blame neilson for rangers not getting soutter, nor say that they were “ awkward “, they gave rangers a price for taking their central defender, rangers said no, hardly them being awkward.


37.) 31 Aug 2022
31 Aug 2022 18:43:03
Tough one, would really like to see McCann stay and force his way in but if there is a guarantee of game time at Hearts then seems to be the better option for him and us. Would love to see him back in January ready to stake a claim in first team.


38.) 01 Sep 2022
31 Aug 2022 22:42:20
Tt. . By the same price if string mate rangers fc are not there to assist hearts surely .

Bassey lower played like 4 maybe 5 games and scored like 3 goals and a couple assists and a couple man of match awards what does it say to youth if you come in and do well and get dropped following week. If we are not going to play them we should let them go be honest with them and tell them we will keep an eye on them for future. Instead we will make guys like Lowry and others in squad bitter and they will realise there is just no realistic route to the first team some of our best players would never have got a run in team if not for belief of a coach barry Ferguson for one was disheartened under Smith came in same as Lowry played blinder alongside Ian Ferguson and was dropped out pronto even though played well took advocate reassurance that he was going to start to keep him. I fear we might be missing an opportunity to develope a young rangers supporter that could be in the team for years to come.
