Anyone know what Dorrans is on and when his contract is up? Curious what a pay off would cost us.
It he went out on loan for few months to the likes of Hearts or even Dolly, he would strengthen them but wouldn't be able to play against us. (although we would likely have to pick up majority of his wage still)
Feel bad for the guy, want him to do well for us but it isn't going to happen.

Hes good player no doubt but it's just not worked out due to his injury problems and he's been replaced now and has to move on. Can see us having to loan him out and pay some of his wages rather than him moving on to a new club.

Sure dorrans on 15-20k a Week. 16k for some reason stickin in my mind.

16k seems to ring a bell with me as well.

Im sick of rangers paying players off! We could get at least 500k for him. Remember when ayers are paid off its our hard earned money that's used!

Dorrans is sadly paying the price for wanting to do well for his boyhood club, played through the pain barrier when we were struggling but never made a big song and dance about it. Hence he was knackered when Gerrard came in. If he had taken a leaf out of Barasic and Grezda’s book and called off injured every time he had a scraped knee he might have been fit for us last season. I for one will be very sad to see him go, as he has quality and clearly cares about the club.

I think Dorrans is still capable of playing at a highish level. can't see him playing in Scotland, maybe the English championship.

If it is as much as that and there are no willing buyers for him then I would definitely be in favour of a loan within our top flight. Ripping up his contract by mutual agreement or loaning to an English league 1 side/ championship side has no benefit to us.
He would be a stand out for most teams in our league.

Not sure anyone wants players paid off Jason Brown; to get 500k for him though someone has to be willing to pay it and the player is under no obligation to go even if someone does pay it.
That's why players get paid off, they have contracts that entitles them to that money. Not saying Dorrans is happy to sit and take a wage but on the other hand why should he take a wage cut to go elsewhere when he can get paid off then go elsewhere and get it paid anyway- no brainer for the players, especially when wrong side of 30.

swagman, he must have been injured the entire time he has been here then as he has been absolutely terrible, can’t remember a worse midfielder at Ibrox!
You’re right though if he was playing through an injury he would have been better off sitting it out as he was worse than a man down in most games!

Zikos, I think your getting Dorrans confused with Ian Black or Emerson. He was one of our better players when he did play, in a team that was rank rotten. He was one of the only players that could make something happen with little space. For example his goal against Partick, and splitting Villareals defence open.

We can only hope that Stevie G is bringing in younger, better players with a sell on value. There is no way we are bringing Aribo up here, 20k a week to sit on the bench. I suspect that getting Dorran's off the books will mean we are only 4k a week extra out of pocket for a young player that could have a substantial sell on value.

Blue89, I didn’t forget about the goal he scored against the mighty Partick Thistle! And for the record he could lace Emerson’s boots, couldn’t even lace namouchi’s boots!
Never seen a Rangers player give the ball away as much as Dorrans and then make no effort to win it back!
I genuinely thought he would have been a cracking player for us, turns out I was wrong.
