Found this in a reply to a story about Souttar in the Sun.
The fact Souttar was chosen as part of the World Cup squad (but never played when he perhaps should have given our defensive performance) tells it's own story about how Rangers have treated some of their established players (Connor Barron is another Scotland player Rangers seem to have discarded? )
Please dont't tell me Fernandez ( with all his unforced errors ) is any better than Souttar ever was, or Dan Neil is any better than Barron was? I'd really like to know the reasons behind the logic as I thought both these players gave it all for the jersey unlike some of the players who think they are better than they actually are!
Thought on the above ramble?
Souttar better than Manny?
Barron better than Neil?

Souttar throwing his body at a shot tells me he has been caught out of position or those around him. So is an error as much as Fernandez has been with his half arsed attitude in some games.
Barron is a headless chicken. If he was that good and was touted for a move to Serie A, then why can't he get a game for a EFL team?
Neil has a more controlled performance but has been rank rotten in many a game since he signed in the summer.
People look at Neil with the blue tinted glasses after his performance against Celtic.
We actually need better than all 4 to progress as a club.
IMHO.

Both players are better than Souttar and Barron.
Let's not forget it's an owner decision why Souttar no longer plays fork.

Manny for me is better than Souttar, both have an error in them, but when manny is good, he's really good, brilliant in the air, can't say the sane re Souttar. Barron is a decent we player, but Neil is better, think Neil gets a raw deal on here at times tbh.

Naw and Naw for me Forky. Not Manny's greatest fan on occasion, but he's miles better than Souttar.
13 Nov 2026 15:33:31
I'm more disappointed that you actually read the Sun, Fork, I thought that you were better than that.

Everyone reads the stuff they say they never read cheers, myself included, I find it funny when people slaughter the press, imagine if they weren't a thing anymore, only online people, some of the old press guys were as much a part of football as the management,
I believe Souttar is a brave and honest player but his time here has gone, he should be playing elsewhere.
13 Nov 2026 17:36:31
Didn't mind Barron for doing the dirty work but no way is he better than Neil. At least Neil tries to play the ball forward and has a decent shot on him. Barrons shooting was woeful mate.

Was bored Cheers and wanted a laugh, mind this is not my reply it's something I seen, I have no part in this.🙄.
13 Nov 2026 18:06:48
I know he can make mistakes taking it too easy and taking chances when he shouldn't but for me anyway manny Fernandez is a talented centre half and i have absolutely not a shred of doubt about that guys 🤔🇬🇧.
13 Nov 2026 18:08:19
I like Souttar at his best, but manny a far better CB, Souttar struggled to get in in front of 108 year old Balogun, Barton was disappointing for me Neil hasn't set the world on fire either tho.
13 Nov 2026 18:20:46
I've no problem with both Souttar and Barron.
Both are different to Manny and Neil in attributes.
My view is we're better off with the Manny and Neil given the way we are playing at the moment.
In my view Souttar is now the past but wouldn't rule out a return for Barron as he might still have something to offer us and it might still suit both parties for him to return.
13 Nov 2026 18:37:22
Not a fan of Manny but Souttar needed gone a long time ago and was mad decision to give him a new contract. We are bound to give preference to new players in the hope they are better.
Barron had shown what he could give us but was still only on fringes most of the time. He could have played a role but we bought 4 CMs since January so he was bound to lose out.

Maybe the question about Souttar should be why was he taken to the WC and not chosen despite the Scotland defence being woeful . Its not just a Rangers thing if even Clarke doesn't rate him higher that Hendry , McKenna and Hanley . Bearing in mind he was the man in possession going into the tournament.
He's certainly not better than Manny or Makka who would both walk into the Scotland team .I do feel a bit sorry for Barron because I think he's better than at least one of the current Rangers midfield options.

Thank god that's not your opinion fork took me a minute to realise lol. But it's a ridiculous take.
13 Nov 2026 20:35:08
Somebody barking at the moon I think wishy👍.
13 Nov 2026 23:38:12
Like Barron but Neil is better, liked Souttar when on it but do easily prefer Fernandez, Tom some reporters don't even do any homework now, read a bit yesterday saying Moore could be called back by Spurs and maybe we could get him on loan again in January, you'd think they'd know how many clubs he's played for this season and how many he can play for.

Manny over Souttar.
Barron raw deal. 24 years of age. Not the experience.
Comparing against Dan Niel not like for like.
Against Devlin would be my comparison.
Age and experience on Devlins side but I would have Conner all day long over Devlin.
Will get better as time goes on. He is not as bad a player as people are making out.
