He wasn't really at any fault on the equalizer, but he had a fairly major gaffe at one point holding the ball forever. He did win back a ball and nearly broke free for a great opportunity, but was fouled. Other than that, he wasn't involved all that much in his short stint today from what I saw.Absolutely no one on followfollow with anything good to say about him after he came on as a sub and Celtic equalized late in a 2-2 old firm today. Don’t know if he’s coming back here but if it’s up to Rangers support they definitely don’t want him .
Personally for him, it has been a disaster. He went to raise his profile and play his way to Qatar. Neither happened. Every game, there’s a lot of rationalizing as to why he wasn’t at fault for various goals (not directed at you) - and as they say, when you are explaining, you are losing. He’s still young and talented, so this is by no means a career killer - but hopefully it’s a lesson learned for him and his advisors as to what would be an advantageous next step. It really may be to be a top performer in MLS.He wasn't really at any fault on the equalizer, but he had a fairly major gaffe at one point holding the ball forever.

Bottom line is, he didn't start in a critical game. This loan hasn't been advantageous for Sands and his value has almost certainly diminished from his pre-loan value.
I guess we could use him back here, but does he want to come back to MLS after a failed stint in a very mediocre Euro league?
Sands either starting as a 6 or playing center in the 3ATB sounds really nice right nowDavid Lee should recall Sands. He'd get more playing time in NYC than Rangers.
End of June.When is his loan up?
Thank youEnd of June.

That seems to be the implication. And if they're not going to hang onto him unti the summer he'll be on a plane in a day or two.Rangers transfer news as Lowry put on exit alert and midfield target remerges

Seriously they should just rip the band-aid off and send him back so he can train with the team now.Sucks for him, but great for us. Would solve our depth issues at CB and at D-mid.
I wonder if the team would try to find him a place to play this season, or if we'd only have him until the summer when they'd try to find him another European team.
Sands started and scored late winner in the cup as rangers beat Partick thistle 3-2.
Looks like we finally found our striker.
