Papers now saying Tav could be out for up to 3 weeks! Let’s hope he makes a speedier recovery than that, would be a huge loss to the team.
16 Jan 2020 08:03:04
Stay calm, take what the tabloids print with a pinch of salt.
16 Jan 2020 09:44:02
We've got three good back ups for right back.
16 Jan 2020 09:47:01
As much as Tav has had a decent few games in a row this would be a decent test to see how we actually do without him some folk think he's best thing since sliced bread others think we can cope without him no probs due to poor crossing and terrible errors. Flanagan go in to cover or throw young youth lad in who is impressing?
16 Jan 2020 09:56:34
If Tav is out, who do you think SG should play at right back? Flanagan or Polster or someone else?
16 Jan 2020 10:09:17
Ah cmom on. what's being said bout Tav simply tabloid garbage. Once he's got serious injury and another says man flu. Their writing anything to fill column inches.
16 Jan 2020 10:18:42
SG has said Tav had a small procedure and will be out for 3wks.
16 Jan 2020 10:44:46
Doiger - I think we will go with the young boy Patterson against Stranraer and if he shows up well he keeps the jersey. I think he’s the only one of the 3 options with the pace to replicate Tav’s runs down the right.
16 Jan 2020 11:21:45
Interesting theswagman. I haven't seen young Patterson play yet so sounds like a great idea to give him a chance against Stranraer.
16 Jan 2020 11:47:04
Manager says tav had appendix procedure out for three weeks, that’s six games.
16 Jan 2020 12:37:42
Thought Polster was away?
16 Jan 2020 12:57:58
Considering there are many posters on here who think Tav isn’t Captain material, Rangers class, can’t defend, can’t cross the ball or tackle it looks like you have all got your wish for the next 3 weeks as we see how Rangers perform down the right hand side without him. ðŸ‘
Let’s hope his absence doesn’t come back and bite us on the ar$e!
16 Jan 2020 13:06:39
John 25 the manager said a couple of weeks. In ny book that's 2 weeks. Probably wouldn't have played fri night anyway.
16 Jan 2020 13:10:33
Theswagman, you beat me to it mate, nathen patterson, ideal replacement. i. m. h. o.
16 Jan 2020 13:17:16
Mr Pacman u r right, however it’s a new right back we need, not ones already at club with possible exceptions of young boy Patterson
Flanagan and Polster are not better than Tav.
16 Jan 2020 13:34:42
Cool Paul, I agree he probably would not play Friday.
Then I it’s Wednesday st mirren
Sunday hearts
Wednesday Ross county
Saturday Aberdeen
Wednesday hibs
Then cup tie.
We r unlikely to be able to play him twice a week at beginning, that’s what’s the squad is for.
I’d go Flanagan but try out Patterson in Stranraer game and cup tie depends on draw .
I’m not sure we would play the boy against Aberdeen or hibs.
Also tav may be a quick healer.
16 Jan 2020 14:03:23
Hopefully john. I am 1 of his biggest critics but going into 2nd half of season we definitely need everybody available. Should pull through stranraer and st mirren without him. Hearts always tough place to go for us as they have shown us already this season. Aberdeen at home then killie away be tough as always. Nice to have a full squad to pick from.
16 Jan 2020 15:28:12
100% agree John, Patterson in the Cup tie and Flanagan in the tough league games. ðŸ‘.
16 Jan 2020 20:33:22
Ryan Jack has filled in at right full back before, recall he actually played for national side in that position.
16 Jan 2020 20:40:43
Gerrard won't chop and change from game to game. Probably Flanagan will step in and Patterson will be his backup.
17 Jan 2020 22:32:20
Jack will not play at right back, it would weaken the midfield as well as diluting the effectiveness a proper right back would bring. No chance.
18 Jan 2020 00:18:12
Doiger, i would hpoe young patterson gets the place, as unlike flanigan, petterson covers every blade of grass, up and down like a yoyo.
