5-1Jambo Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I am still ranting about this lad. Came on mid week as a sub scored after 7 minutes. Scored again today. How many Scottish strikers, in the past 3 years, have a better goals per minutes played ratio? PS I don't have the answer but doubt there will be many better.

OTT Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Really think we need to make a move for this laddie. He’s going to go from strength to strength. If we get in now, I think we beat the boat, but if not then we’ll miss the boat. Partick probably can’t ask for loads for him yet either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Brightside Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Seems like one to watch. Though there is a fine line between a Gavin Riley and a Lawrence Shankland and this would still be a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenNaismith Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I’ve been to games to watch other players that he’s been involved in over the last 3 years or so and he’s usually the standout player on the pitch. He’s a very clever player and makes good decisions with and without the ball. He would be a very sensible signing in my humble opinion.

Just said on transfer thread we need to sign first picks ina couple of positions but at CF it's more of a young guy with potential to backup boycie. This lad sounds in that camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Rangers have a buy back clause on him apparently so it’s pretty debatable how ‘available’ he is to be honest. Any low fee we’d be willing to pay it’d probably be in their interests to pay to just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth knowing I'm always a little baffled by the ones who are impressed by a player without seeing them play Rudden certainly sounds an interesting project ! Does rangers buy back clause make him more expensive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanHearts Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Never seen him but looking at his stats, he scores goals. His manager at Falkirk ( Mackinnon ) was absolutely full of praise for his attitude and ability. As big O said we want quality additions and first team starters for CB and CM but a promising, hungry youngster up top would seem to be a good shout.

Would be silly to overlook the laddie and his clear potential. Really would like to see us make a move for him since I reckon this is our chance before English clubs get interested and it’s too difficult to get a deal done.

Genuinely interested to hear informed opinions I haven't seen him in the last 2 years as I now live in Portugal but seen him when he was younger and on video (Jags and Falkirk telly). I know his uncle and Grandad very well and they go to most of his games. His grandad Rab(ex Hearts) drove him to most of his training sessions as a young boy. Rab and his son Keith certainly keep Zaks feet on the ground by letting him know where he needs to improve. As I have said before Steven Gerrard (a better judge than me) really rated the kid and included him on the first teams pre season european training camp. Unfortunately Zak got a bad injury which he didn't fully get back from till near the end of last season by then Rangers had let him go and he signed for Partick and started scoring right away. He had been on loan at Falkirk while still at Rangers and won their player and players player of the year and he had only played half the season for them. He is still a bit raw but is a quick learner and hungry for goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think we will lose out on him to bigger clubs. I noticed someone on Kickback said Rangers had first dibs on him. Nothing I am aware of but if that is the case I think Gerrard will get him back and Partick will get a few quid for looking after him.
