Read a good article by Barry Ferguson in his Daily Record Friday column, regarding why he rates Rangers centre half Manny Fernandez very highly. 👍🇬🇧 I totally agree when baz states he has all the attributes to be a top centre half as he specifies about his strength/power, his immense ability in the air and his ability to have a very good passing range. 👌

If Manny remains focused and switched on for the full game, he reckons Rangers have got a very good centre half with all the attributes, but sometimes switches off because he finds the game to easy on occasions. 🤔 Baz reckons big manny reminds him a lot of big Amoruso 🤔🇬🇧.

The old "if" word again when describing one of our players.
For me he is too inconsistent to reach the top.
He goes from a 9 out of 10 to a 4 out of 10, not just weekly, but sometimes in the same game.

He most certainly doesn't have "all" the attributes required.

At 25 he's not even the best centre half at Rangers for goodness sake, and the guy who is, he's 3 years younger.

Fernandez won't play regularly at any level higher than us IMO. I think someone will take a punt on him, but he doesn't have what it takes to establish himself in a top club in a top 5 league IMO.

Swso, if an ex ger told you that you looked like brad pit you'd be looking in the mirror, not to check, just to verify 😂👍.

Another " highly rated" to join the other 8,000 highly rated by someone, Fernandez is a guy who could have a shot at greatness, if he could concentrate on the game in hand first, I also feel that he will end up below Rangers in rankings unfortunately.

SWS j have heard you look even better than Brad Pitt 😉🤣🇬🇧.

Dont get excited SWS its more likely Brad Friedel staring back at you 😁.

You've went and done it fourlads, he'll believe that for the rest of his days. He'll be on here tomorrow telling us he's chucked his job, to do modelling (balaclavas) he's some boy, can't help but love him though.

13 Nov 2026 17:47:56
It was either me saying that or a poll going up for it BB4 😉🤣.

13 Nov 2026 17:56:15
True fourlads 🤪.

All in good fun guys and it definitely had me laughing 😂😂.

He might have all the physical attributes but he doesn't have the proper defensive focus or mentality. Like many modern defenders who've been coached to be ball players rather than the art of defending. His positional sense is very poor and he far to often caught out and doesn't track back quick enough. Mak is 10 times the defender already.

I love big Manny, one of the first names on my teamsheet.

Just his aerial ability alone is hugely valuable to what we face in our league. Mostly set piece and high long balls that get thrown at us.

Even when he is playing with nervousness, rather than laziness imo, he is still dealing with these situations well for me. I also think he digs in when he starts tentatively and comes onto a game which shows the type of character needed to play for us.

I don't dismiss the mistakes but I think the balance of what he gives is way more than the mistakes.

Glad you see the funny side swso, could never be malicious with you pal.

Souttar was there something wrong before McInnes arrived on the field the amount of times he miss timed a jump and cost us but most times he looked commited , big manny
half time looks like he can't be arsed
Barron offer energy little else neil offers to at least he will put on a jersey but surely we can do better , the 4 .5 mill we spent on Drago should we send him out on loan because if Raskin goes so does our midfield.

Firstly, SWS well taken in the spirit of things. 👏👏 BB4, Four lads the best one for a long while also. 👏👏👏

Manny I think is at his level. I do think someone as others alluded too will take a punt on him.

Maybe working with a good seasons pro at a higher level will take him to the next level.

Biggest down fall is himself, concentration for the full games can be an issue.
He is the type of player who needs an arm round the shoulder and a bit of love and encouragement. Maybe let's his head get in the way.

Do we have a Ted Lasso character at the club, 🤔🤔.
