Think most missed my post last night Naderi scored 3 against Partick Thistle playing as a nine.
Makhanya got minutes and dragjevic played 45.
It still looks like makhanya won't be allowed entry to Poland as explained very well by fork, Rangers still working on it

Good to hear, John
You thinking Naderi should be playing more through the middle? I would actually play Chermiti wide left as he has the pace and power to play there.
Don't think Makhanya will get to play in Poland.

Hearing really positive things about Drago.
Also hearing that young Rankin has been really impressive over the post season.
04 Aug 2026 09:27:41
Naderi took a lot of unnecessary stick after the United game. Those goals yesterday will do his confidence the world of good! Looking forward to seeing Dragojevic play. So do we go
Sterling RB
McCrorie CD
Fernandez CD
Rommens LB
Or the obvious with McCrorie RB and Sterling CD?

I have high hopes for Drago.
I think Chermiti could also do ok playing high on the left. He does well coming into the box and has pace.
04 Aug 2026 09:32:26
I'd actually like to see Naderi get a run of games a 9. I think that's where he is definitely more productive.
04 Aug 2026 09:43:31
I'm just here for the "yes, we scored 6, but still conceded 2" moans.
04 Aug 2026 09:54:52
Who also hearing Rankin has been a standout in pre season?
imo Naderi is a n9.
04 Aug 2026 10:08:44
I agree that's his best position. Think that's one of the problems, John. All our strikers are N9s so whoever is played out of position looks bad, but they are having to cover the other positions, even the wings. McInnes even said they're all the sort that need others to create, apart from maybe Chermiti.
Who is the lad Rankin, sorry? Where does he play?

We shouldn't be forcing the likes of Chermiti or Naderi out wide just for Shankland, they aren't wingers & shouldn't be treated as such, as both may have some pace but lack that cross or pass.
I don't understand why we signed Shankland as he wasn't needed. I can only assume Rohl was going with 2 upfront & he would partner Chermiti, like Naderi did before his injury.
04 Aug 2026 10:30:27
I would prefer Naderi through the middle, with A.N. Other just behind.
In his early appearances, Naderi was making the type of runs in the box you'd expect your striker to make.
04 Aug 2026 10:32:53
Sorry, on holiday, so missing a lot.
Why is the boy not allowed into Poland?
04 Aug 2026 11:02:37
Agree Naderi through the middle.

He is now. Needed a Schengen visa, as South Africans can't enter criss border in EU without it. He's cleared now. 👍
