Assuming wee Baz moves on as expected over the next few days, who of the current squad should become the new captain? There's not too many suitable candidates imho.
 
David Weir? Probably the obvious choice as a temporary measure but I'd like to believe (surely!!!!!) that this will be his last season. In fact I'd be signing a replacement in this window if funds were available.
 
Who else? McGregor? not for me, I don't like a goalie as captain, especially not a dodgy one. Broadfoot? No way Jose! Papac? same. Boug? Not been here long enough or impressed quite enough. Mendes? Despite impressing everybody I suspect he's not captain material. Davis?  A possibility I suppose but quite young and not been here quite long enough either I suspect. Thomson? Injured long term so not an option. Anybody else? Unthinkable for various reasons.
 
So were back at old Davie Weir then eh? Unless we sign a superstar who is obvious captain material in the next couple of weeks. I'll not hold my breath.

It will undoubtedly be David Weir for the rest of the season if Ferguson goes, and possibly we could wait and see who comes to the fore between now and next season. Thomson was captain of Hibernian, so if he can get himself fit for the start of next season he would undoubtedly be a candidate in my book. We miss him more than many people realise.

I'm afraid there is not too much captain material at Ibrox at the moment and that to my mind is one of the problems.
 
What a change from some years when there were four or five candidates waiting in the wings.

A work colleague of mine is married to a friend of Margaret Ferguson (Barry's wife), and he has confirmed that Ferguson would consider a move away from Ibrox if the terms were right for him. The family would stay up here though, as Ferguson is only a couple of years away from retirement and the kids are settled at school.
 
A bid from Newcastle United would be very interesting.
