Ludo*1 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Rather bizarre move, fair play to him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Good for him. He seems like he's pish but I hope he makes a success of it. Hopefully more young Scottish players do it rather than sign for English lower league clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Wish him well. Always like to see Scottish players going abroad, and it's definitely a big club to try and learn at. They look like they're about to go down, but a year in the second tier to establish himself in the team and get used to German football will probably be a good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Transfermarkt is also quite useful. As is Soccerway, which I find is very useful for stats.Anyways this looks like a good move for Bates, don't have much of an opinion on him but last year was one of their few competent performers against Celtic, especially the 5-1 win at Ibrox but Hamburg are one of those big German clubs that are having a bit of a hard time. If they go down then he could get some good game time next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 An interesting move. We don't need another young Scot going missing in Hamburg though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepundit Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Disappointed that Bates is leaving but Rangers obviously weren't too bothered about re-signing him. If it's true he wanted £7.5k a week there's plenty of players at Rangers on more. Ah well, best of luck to him. Hopefully he'll do well at Hamburg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
