Graeme Shinnie has been signed on pre contract for next season.
Won't be announced till after Scottish Cup tie but deal has been signed this week.
For me he was outstanding in win at Pittodrie last month and is a better version of young McCrorie.
Coulibaly will return to Angers and Rossiter will be sold for minimal fee with Docherty returning to club when Shrewsbury loan ends.
Davis only on loan till end of season with him in straight fight with Dorrans to see who stays.

Don't know how good your info is regarding graeme shinnie signing for us mate and like some on here, I don't doubt you, when you're only sharing on here with fellow bears, to what you've been told! that's what these pages are all about. If its true and shinnie does sign for rangers, then i think he'll need to settle for being a squad player, who will only get a start from time to time, through injuries or loss of form, of the better midfielders at our disposal! Our current strongest midfield 3 imo are, ryan jack, glen kamara and scott arfield! With ross mccrorie, andy halliday, greg docherty, steven davis, matt polster,
graham dorrans all waiting in the wings! With the future of both lassana coulibaly and jordan rossiter, to be decided in the summer. So where would shinnie fit into our midfield? I personally don't think we need shinnie or should sign him! Its an outstanding, creative no.10 midfielder we're needing!

hope this info is correct as i think shinnie has a lot to offer good player with a lot of dig in his game big loss for the sheep which makes it all the sweeter if true.

What a load of single fish. Why WHY make up stories? I have only once had info about a signing and that was Goldson. Who would we drop for Shinnie? nonsensical.

Queens 11, which midfielder do we drop for graeme shinnie then mate?
None IMO because we already have better than shinnie at the club!

Shinnie can play CDM and LB. I'd think he'd be a squad player. I think we will have a bit of a clear out in the summer, especially in midfield. I personally don't think he's any better than what we have but I'll trust SG judgment.

I was told this in January. I was told he’d signed as it would be kept under wraps until later in the season.

Shinnie is good enough to rival Camara and Jack for 1 of the midfield holding positions. Remember Wallace is out of contract in summer and won’t be renewed and Shinnie can also drop into LB to give us a bit of physicality and experience in there if required.
Tbf Halliday has totally surpassed my opinion of his ability in there from Tynecastle display to Old Firm he has really stepped up and played!
IMO I like Docherty and McCrorie but think Shinnie is better than both sane as Halliday (in CM) and Rossiter, not seen much of Polsner to give honest opinion.
Maybe Gerrard likes Shinnies versatility to play back up LB the way he does with Polsner as RB back up.
Rumour will be confirmed shortly, shoot me down if it doesn’t become true but I’m confident what Iv been told is factual.
Enjoy weekend, 2-1 tomorrow 8/ 1 fill your boots 👍🏻.

I posted this in the window and was shot down in flames . He’s the type of player the manager referred to last week - a leader . Would be a welcome addition.

Shinnie is a leader and real competitor and his original position is left back. On a free I would take him as he would make the squad stronger.

Graeme shinnie IMO won't sign for rangers to just be a squad player.
He's in his peak years as a footballer and will want to play at his next club, week in week out! For me he wouldn't get that at rangers because for me both ryan jack and glen kamara are better than him and that's why i just can't see us signing him! We've got too many similar midfielders at our disposal and badly need a very creative no.10 midfielder, first and foremost!

I can actually see this being true. We had signed jack on a pre contract long before it was announced. I think Shinnie would be a good addition to the squad. Can play several positions and knows the Scottish game.

I heard this as well and posted it in January. Apparently he told his neighbour who passed on the info. Must be trying to kerp it under his hat as he doesn't want a Ryan Jack situation where that shower will make his life hell while he is still at the club. Just passing on what i'd heard. On another note, just how good a footballer is Ryan Jack? First name on the team sheet for me.

Don't want Shinnie. What a bang average player.

Surely signing someone at his 'peak' is better for the club than signing players towards the end of their careers? Like I've said I have no idea if shinnie will sign for us but if he does. I think he'd be a handy player to have in the squad.

Shinnie being signed for the left back role.

If this was true why would we want to wait until after the cup game to announce?

Our midfield is, bulging with players better than Shinnie. Even if we get rid of Coullibally, Dorrans et al he's not going to get a regular game.
