Anthony Fitzgerald Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 How are McHugh, Baird, Kerr, Thomson and Kidd getting on again? B) Didn't take long. Not sure what these players have to do with Queens signing a 4th choice central midfielder from us though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 To give this some perspective though we are talking about rankine as he is now & what he has done recently in the same division ...mark Kerr was a young box to box time player when he left us & he took a very circuitous route to queens many years later...Mitch was a skilful lad but unfortunately we were a premier league team then & pace & physicality probably weren't his strongest suits....& again he went via another team albeit over a much shorter time frame...I've nothing against rankine & have heard so many times he's a model pro but I think whatever he had has gone That is my thoughts exactly on Rankine. It is all very well him saying that he is only coming here to start games or at least that is being reported, but the simple fact is that no player should be dictating these terms. He will only start if he proves to be better than what we have in midfield. Certainly for him to edge out Jacob's energy he will have to be playing a lot better than when I last saw him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so as he's signed till the end of next season unless that's a misprint. Nope, 18 months contract.

Shadwell Dog Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think the fact that Houston was quite happy to see him offloaded to a rival side tells you about how good he's been since signing for us. 18 months seems a bit of a stretch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 If anything we'll now be able to blind the opposition with sheer volume of fake tan between Del and Rankin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Naywin's chat on the OS is about Rankin "setting standards", being a "fitness fanatic" and being somebody to "set an example" to young players. Surprised we need that when we already have Millar. Edited January 5, 2017 by Flash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 According to his Wiki page, he made 30+ appearances for Utd each season before leaving for Falkirk this year. He can't have declined that badly in such a short space of time. Surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 An 18 month contract gives me hope that it's the end of the line for Millar come August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Rankin for me was a good player about 4 years ago, he certainly didn't do much for us and tbh he was the wrong signing at the time, I don't doubt the guys desire but for me he is well past his best. Good luck to him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk_Bairn_1983 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hard to judge Rankin on his time with us. Didn't get a run in the team and when he did play Houston's tactics weren't the best with him and Kerr in the same midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last appearance against St Mirren he was truly awful. Giving away the ball at every opportunity. Houston subbed him at half time thankfully and we went on to win the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they were both just about as bad as each other at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
