Who made it and who didn’t? A who’s who of Rangers’ trip to USA

Rangers have this morning left Edinburgh Airport for their Florida training camp, and there has been much hubbub about who made the flight and who did not.

Most definitely on the flight were two of the returning loanees, Michael O’Halloran and Andy Halliday. Joe Dodoo was nowhere to be seen despite the end of his loan at Charlton and unless the young striker is injured or had other dispensation to not make the flight, one does wonder if Graeme Murty sees him as an option at all.

New signing Sean Goss was happily on board, but the Jamie Murphy deal appears to have been held up by paperwork with apparent details still to be ironed out with Brighton. The winger was absent from the flight.

The increasingly notorious “Pedro Pack” had mixed fortunes. Bruno Alves, obviously, back in Portugal undergoing rehabilitation, was absent, as was Carlos Pena who is said to be working on his loan switch to Azul Crul. There was also no sign of Eduardo Herrera who is reportedly working his ticket out as well. But Dalcio and Fabio Cardoso were present and in attendance despite strong speculation having both leaving this month.

Aaron Nemane was unsurprisingly gone – the loan winger is said to have switched to the Dutch second division, and despite the possibility of his being used in a Jordan Jones deal, right back Lee Hodson made the trip.

The likes of Niko Kranjcar, Jason Holt and David Bates were all in attendance, as were Danny Wilson, James Tavernier and Ryan Jack.

New assistant manager Jimmy Nicholl also attended his first proper duty as Murty’s number one.

Here is hoping the trip across the pond is productive.
