Cole McKinnon has joined ayr Utd til end of season good move for him and us I think.
08 Jan 2025 19:28:47
Experience and playing time, will help his development.
08 Jan 2025 19:38:13
Lending players to Scott Brown, what is the world coming to .
08 Jan 2025 19:46:41
Good luck Cole ??.
08 Jan 2025 19:47:57
Has he agreed a new contract or is that him away? I think he only has 6 months left on his deal.
08 Jan 2025 19:52:36
Wsl he will be learning from the best then.
08 Jan 2025 20:28:42
McKinnon and Fraser both be 22 when they return in the summer. They won’t have a career at rangers just like McPake, Mayo, Williamson etc.
08 Jan 2025 20:29:02
Need to get young players on loan. Get young players on loan. Rangers fan moans about what club player goes to because who is manager ?.
08 Jan 2025 20:29:24
That is correct John.
08 Jan 2025 20:37:05
John the “best” what kinda comment is that lol.
08 Jan 2025 20:41:05
If the club chose not to loan him out based upon criteria that his short term manager is an ex-Celtic player it would highlight a tone of absolute Neanderthal mentality. He has a platform to develop and someone who, as much as it pains me to concede, was a dominant midfielder offering the chance at growth, that should be enough.
08 Jan 2025 20:44:33
Contract up at end of season.
08 Jan 2025 20:51:49
Correct john.
08 Jan 2025 20:31:04
I really liked this lad hopefully his loan spell is a success.
08 Jan 2025 20:31:14
Scott brown the best John ? Not imo mate and was very overrated?.
08 Jan 2025 21:05:51
It was a tongue in cheek remark but personally I don`t think we should be helping out a self confessed hater of our club. There are lots of other clubs out there. We are not just talking about any ex Celtic player here.
08 Jan 2025 21:18:40
Don’t follow that logic - should we not have taken Kenny miller back after he played for Celtic then?
Anything that potentially benefits the club/ our players is to be commended in my book.
08 Jan 2025 21:22:00
Pithy and pathetic, its about developing one of our players not about who the manager is or who he played for. The boy will be better for it.
08 Jan 2025 21:26:44
The club focus was on progressing Cole, he had options and was his choice.
08 Jan 2025 21:31:50
Scott brown was clearly, going by his career, a very good centre mid. U don’t have to be world class tk be considered a good player. If Cole McKinnon has half the career brown did he’ll be doing very well indeed.
I thought he could’ve had a far better career if he went down south after a few years at Celtic. May not have been too 4 at the time but would’ve competed and done well. Anyone who says different have blue specs on.
Great mice for coke and same as Fraser they need it.
No expectations just see where the land lies in the summer d.
08 Jan 2025 21:34:43
I'd imagine both lads have been told if they want a new deal then earn it on loan.
08 Jan 2025 21:58:21
? rabbi that’s exactly it.
I believe Fraser may well get a 2 year deal with a year on loan, but McKinnon I think will be let go, hopefully under browns wing he can improve and perform to his potential at that level. He’s definitely got ability I rated him at b team level but I’ve not been impressed seeing him in 1st team.
08 Jan 2025 22:16:17
Whittaker assists Brown who did he play for. let's try and grow up eh?
08 Jan 2025 22:26:38
Stevie
" Great mice for coke. "
Explain please?.
08 Jan 2025 22:28:39
Its the right thing to do to send the boy to develop.
Whos in charge wouldn't change that however I'll NEVER concede anything positive about Brown.
He was a plastic hardman who lorded it over vastly inferior players.
Cretin of a guy.
08 Jan 2025 22:40:46
Fork, Stevie is talking about Cole, a great move for Cole.
08 Jan 2025 22:59:40
Glad he's going out on loan and hope it works but shame it's only at same level he was out 2 seasons ago with Partick. Development?
08 Jan 2025 23:43:37
Fork coops is on the ball that’s exactly what I meant coops ?? your clear getting used to my hundred mile per hour typing errors mate ?.
09 Jan 2025 00:47:00
Stevie it was me mate, I can remember it from a while ago you called him coke Mckinnon lol.
09 Jan 2025 05:50:11
?Makes perfect sense???.
09 Jan 2025 07:27:15
Correct fork and Stevie.
09 Jan 2025 09:01:08
How can a player develop to be Rangers quality by going down a level and managed by a relatively new manager?
A manager that is an ex player not in the same position/ type of player and overall not a great player at that IMO.
Scott Brown, a fake hard man on the pitch and got away with murder over the years especially against us.
Nowadays he tried to come across as a nice guy and that but i don't really buy it.
Never got the whole thing about being a different person on the pitch. If you are prick on the pitch then your are one off it too.
09 Jan 2025 09:04:38
Interesting that someone has referred to Brown as a "self confessed Rangers hater" when they don't know the truth in any way. When Brown left Hibernian he was desperate to sign for Rangers but Celtic offered him an obscene amount of money. I can't recall exact figures but Rangers offered only slightly more than he was on at Hibs and Celtic nearly trebled the offer. His decision was based on finances and he alienated some members of his family. So spare me the fairy story, I know some of his family members and I know the truth. Grew up a Rangers man in a Rangers family, he was advised to deny this when moving along the mate. In my opinion, for midfielders from the Premier League, he is only second to Barry Ferguson.
09 Jan 2025 10:23:35
Some just can't see past the colour of the strip he wore, whilst forgetting its about what Cole Mckinnon wants or needs.
09 Jan 2025 10:26:27
Hate to disappoint many on here but Scott Brown is a really decent lad. I hated him as a player in a Celtic jersey but off the park he’s a very different character.
09 Jan 2025 10:34:39
Sorry Beale it was u mate, it was quite late when I wrote that so maybe not on the ball haha. Aye a remember that convo your talking about.
Just aswell a don’t call him gear McKinnon ???.
09 Jan 2025 11:13:21
Correct fork and Scotty some just can’t see by the fact he played for them and even if they think he wasn’t a good player which is bs. He won a lot of trophies for them as captain and was a good player in terms of Scottish league at least. I am just gona say it some can’t see by him because of the bigot in them. They are also forgetting who his number 2 is also.
09 Jan 2025 12:27:50
I`ve stirred up a few on here and found a few Scott Brown lovers, how romantic . I don`t care who he supported and whether he grew up a Rangers fan . He joined the other mob and more than got immersed in their culture of hate, you could see it on the pitch and hear it off the pitch . If that's where McKinnon wanted to go then I don`t have an issue with HIS choice but we shouldn`t be helping out a guy like Brown .
Other comments, Kenny Miller is a completely different thing and I have no problem with players playing for both clubs. Loved Mojo, what a striker he was was .
As for Whittaker he is right down there with Naismith as pond life as far as I am concerned and unfortunately we can`t delete the fact that he is an ex Ranger.
09 Jan 2025 14:57:19
With regards to Grant Hanley, I can confirm he is a bluenose from Dumfries, so maybe not a 100% true blue but a Ranger at heart. My daughter knows his partner and recently they were looking to buy a house in Lancs. I guess he was hoping to get a move to a team in that area.
