Novo out for 6 weeks!

Rangers

comment on the article

Don't know if anyone's already posted something on this but this is a massive blow.

Wee Nacho always gives 100% and is a threat to any opposition defence.

Hopefully it will be Beasley or Burke that come in and replace him on that right hand side and not Whittaker.

The squad size is starting to come in handy at the moment.

Also, the article mentioned Stevie Smith back in training in a month but I doubt he'll be fit for a long while yet but good luck to him.

it was the fact we had to rely on chris burke for a lot of creativity that we suffered so much under Le Guen. To be fair there was maybe 2 much pressure put on him 2 deliver the goods. Smith must like him(he gave him his scotland debut after all). From what i hear he likes a nite out but that could be nonsesnse. Lets hope he takes a leaf out his mate huttons book and starts producing!

Craig what's the difference between that and now with Hutton? Hutton is our only creative threat?

100% agree. ok

During the dark days only Burkey looked likely to make things happen, when they didn't the fans gave Chris pelters rather than the rest of the team.

I think Walter may have deliberately taken him out of the limelight for a bit just to settle him.

Great talent currently being watsed.

Big blow but we have plenty of players who can replace him, you could play Naismith/Beasley/Burke/Whittaker/JCD all in Novo's position.

hutton is not our only creative threat and even if he was he is much more capable than burke.

We score goals from all over the pitch, bare and mind darche and cousin have barely played together and i think goals from them look promising.

More capable at what? Burke is a better close control dribler who can use both feet. They both have different roles to fulfil.

I am not saying we can't score from all over the pitch. What I am saying when you need a bit of magic to unlock a stuborn defence you need a dribbler. Something we have lacked
