I rate him as the best we’ve had at Rangers since Phil Parkes (and that includes a young Dav Seaman).

He should be in the reckoning for the national team and hopefully, now he gets a chance to perform under the attention of the premier league gaze, he’ll get the recognition he was never going to get with our current Shepherds Bush shower.

I have nothing but well wishes for him. Warnock will love him.

Look after him you buggers.



a ringing endorsement!

Doesnt seem many city fans upset with this signing but Etheridge has been class so a lot want to see him start and do well. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Now that's how you deal with losing a player. Much respect and very classy mate.

Good luck next season.

Spot on Wayne. Hope the old Hoop drops in for a chat much like our old friend QPR Stan who was a blinding poster. The wurzels could learn a thing or too from this when one of their own moves on but they are too lost in their 'k' holes and shoving carrots up their 'a' holes. Oooaar. :digging2:

Wow, it's not often you get such an endorsement like that from a fan of a club who the player is leaving. Will be great to have 2 top keepers vying for the no1 spit. Reminds me of the recently deceased Ron Healy and Bill Irwin era when no matter who played you know they were great keepers
