i think Rankin is a great signing . He may be 33 years old but is a keep fit fanatic & is highly thought of by his fellow professionals.
good luck to him and the other 2 signings
[QUOTE=aloreburn;38386295]Absolutely Rodders , sick of reading & hearing negative comments about somebody who hasn't even kicked a ball in anger for his new club yet . Loads of football experts our there need a reality check[/QUOTE
"Absolutely Rodders" whit does that mean? Rankin was a quality player in his prime and can do a turn on the park for us this season I'm sure, but I have a feeling he will be more of a coach next season. R U a robot BTW.

Fwiw as someone who has probably seen Rankin more than most on here in the last few months, I reckon he could be a good solid signing for Queens. He didnt really get a chance at Falkirk as he and Kerr just didnt work in the same team and Kerr got the nod. Yeah he is slower than he used to be (arent we all lol) but he is a grafter, shouts a lot on the park, works hard and has a great attitude. Long as you dont expect him to run around like a mad chicken chasing every ball and let him control in the midfield with others do the chasing I'd say Naysmith has made an astute signing
Agree totally tigerqueen, everyone has been complaining that we needed some one like this and then when we get him , more complaints. I am sorry we can't afford Messi or Iniesta so lets get behind the team we have and give them all a chance.
Rankin straight into the team today and is now club captain and Dobbie vice captain
and Gavin Skelton is captain today down at Annan
I thought Rankin was excellent yesterday as were the two young lads who also made their debuts
He also came across really well in the after match podcast . He'll be a great signing for us
