“He’s very fast” – A lot of Gers fans have reacted to the news they will be signing Brandon Barker from Manchester City
Sky Sports are reporting that Barker will become Steven Gerrard’s ninth signing of the summer.
The winger was on loan at Hibernian during the 2017/18 season – and managed to make 27 appearances where he scored two goals and provided five assists.
Last season he was on loan at Preston North End but only managed to make 20 appearances.
It is fair to say that not many Rangers fans are impressed by this particular signing.

Decent back up to what we have . Plenty of pace to burn . Came on against us few seasons ago for Hibs totally changed the game for them

Decent squad player. Nothing more. Replacement for Candeias. Hes very fast & direct but so is Jones. We need someone with an end product & a left back!

Looked lively when played against us but going with stats he’s a bit inconsistent, same could be said about Kent. Hope Jamie Murphy can make a positive return sometime.

These Gers fans think that Barker will be a good squad player; however, they point out that the squad still needs additions in other areas of the field.
ANOTHER WINGER! Jesus. Think that takes us up to 157 now.

Other Rangers fans, though, are underwhelmed by the signing – and they would much prefer a return for Ryan Kent, but that looks unlikely to happen.
