Mr November Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 We're never going to replace Easton like for like but I think Telfer would be a great signing. His output in a rubbish Falkirk team last season was actually decent and he would fit into the style of play we seem to be going for again. A midfield three of McCabe, Frizzell and Telfer would lack a bit of physicality but we got away with that last season through dominating the ball. That might be trickier this season but it would certainly be a good base to build from. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDiamond Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Did anyone recognize any of the other trialists? Looked up Telfer - appears to know McCabe from Rangers youth academy. Makes sense and I would be happy with him in midfield. Falkirk were a shambles last year but as mentioned and as far as I remember, he wasn’t one picked out for criticism too much. I always rated him as a decent player when I saw him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Telfer looked good. Frizzell played with the freedom Easton played with last season. Rae didn’t have too much to do but his kicking seems a massive improvement on what we’ve had recently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Thought that was fairly enjoyable for a pre season game, pretty much dominated the full game and knocked the ball around really well. McCabe must actually enjoy playing centre half as that's where he was playing. Other than Charlie Telfer, unfortunately I didn't recognise any of the other trialists. As McCabe is that vocal, our trialist at left back was someone called Euan, but that's all I got.@airdrieman unfortunately didn't get to see 'Ose' on the pitch today, but he was there on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be trickier this season but it would certainly be a good base to build from. I wouldn't be concerned about physicality in midfield with those 3. Frizzell and McCabe can more than look after themselves. As you say certainly no less physicality than the 3 of Agnew, Frizzell and Easton last season which was never an issue. It's complete guesswork but I do think Telfer is the type of player who would have done well for us last season - playing on the front foot and having lots of the ball. Any creative player in that Falkirk team would have struggled, although he'd still have to take his share of responsibility. If we're planning on playing a similar style this season I'd be happy with him signing - a bit like McCabe in that he's someone who has played at a higher level and clearly has the ability if you can find a way to get it out of him. He's still young enough that a couple of good seasons with us and he could get himself back up the leagues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was discussed a wee while back but I'd definitely be interested to see Frizzell playing a bit further forward this season. His goals return last year wasn't great but that was mainly due to having to play a bit deeper due to Easton. I think he'd be a real threat playing off the striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be a real threat playing off the striker.He actually finished the game as the deepest midfielder, though that was maybe to conserve some energy before tomorrow’s game. Looked like everything was intended to go through him, with him dropping deep to collect the ball and start most of our attacks, much like Easton did last season. I think he will get a better return this season if he plays that role. One goal and one assist at least today, and while I can’t remember perfectly I think it might have been him that put the ball into the box for the third goal as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDiamond Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Could be Euan DeveneyAnother Rangers academy product. Did he play well today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Another Rangers academy product. Did he play well today? I thought he was just okay, he got himself forward quite a lot. But his crossing wasn't the best. I think Telfer will probably be the only trialist that will get offered a deal. The boy from St Mirren played really well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Another Rangers academy product. Did he play well today? I wasn’t that impressed with him but I also wasn’t impressed with Gabby McGill as a trialist this time last season and I’d say he went on to prove me wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he went off Ballantyne moved over to LB which may be our intention once Watson is back from his holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we could find a way to have cammy and watson on the right hand side. Thought cammy look impressive, albeit in what was a training match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be mostly on the bench for Clyde during his loan spell last season so the signs don't look good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
