BallochSonsFan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Still have some games available for man of the match volunteers. Anybody fancy picking man of the match at a game this season? Drop me a PM to arrange. Only requirements are that you're a trust member and that you can stick around after your chosen game to present the winner with their award. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Craig Stewart is normally pretty reliable at these things, so looks like Durrant may well be Stevie's new assistant. I honestly don't know how to feel about it, but it's certainly a slightly left-field appointment. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/490787/rangers-legend-ian-durrant-lined-up-for-return-to-football-with-scottish-championship-side-dumbarton/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It's really impossible to judge him in all honesty.I've tried to sound out a few Rangers fans in work and they are also fairly unaware of how good or bad a coach he is. One of them seems to think he's a good appointment for us and was fairly well regarded at Rangers.Another boy who worked under him as a youth at Killie said he was a great coach, but he was about 12 at the time.I reckon it could be a sound appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What Durrant brings to the table needs to outweigh what Faz has just taken off the table. We'll see if it works but I have my doubts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I assume that the hashtag fantastic Friday will be Durrant. I'll need to check the Ts and Cs to see if I can do a coaching announcement under trade descriptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumbartonTheSons Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I reckon it could be a decent appointment. As has been said, he seems like he's the sort to 'boot baws' which is what we need. I don't know anything of his coaching credentials, but if it is to happen, he must be rated by Stevie, so I'll remain optimistic until something displays otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I met Ian Durrant when Rangers brought their under 20s for Britso's testimonial. He was very amiable and made a real effort to join in with the occasion signing autographs for young supporters etc. He announced to everyone that his Rangers debut had been at 'The Old Bogheid' and that he never forgot the experience. He was very co-operative in getting stuff signed for auctions. All this gives no indication at all of his ability as a coach however he seemed a real football man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 He is very highly regarded as a youth coach and having spoken to guys that have coached and played with rangers at youth level this definitely seems to be the case. How he will do as an assistant is anyone's guess. We certainly don't have a flourishing youth department [emoji12] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The Daily Record also said that Josh Todd had quit Dumbarton the day before he took to the field in a Dumbarton shirt. Could he have served notice of him leaving? Ie, could he have given a months notice instead of walking out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That qualification applies to any appointment, and as far as I'm concerned if is to be Ian Durrant then I for one will welcome what at face value is a bold and imaginative appointment. As I recall, Ian Murray brought several good practices from his times at higher level clubs, and I've no doubt that Durrant would bring things of his own. I wish whoever becomes our Assistant Manager all the very best. Edited January 26, 2017 by O'Kelly Isley III 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Keeper Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ian Durrant appointment wouldn't put any strain on our budget, as no doubt we'll have him fixed up on an EBT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
